Chapter 124 Stretched

Thinking of this coming out, her face turned pale with fright, she nodded hurriedly: "It's better to come out."

All the maids also breathed a sigh of relief. If it was said that they were imprisoned in a fixed way of thinking, they felt that it would be better if they were kicked out without working at the master's house. Home, it's really not as good as being carefree outside.

But people took it easy, and told the girls and maids in the yard what Mrs. Wang did that day: "Madam pointed at us and cursed, don't tell me I have a treasure, so I can rest assured that you will seduce me and break it?" She curled her lips. , "Who cares to seduce Baoyu? I think Baoyu's behavior is disrespectful. He either eats that maid's lip gloss or licks the rouge on that maid's face all day long. I don't know who I learned from."

This was said in a narrow way, and Daiyu knew that Keren was kicked out and felt annoyed, so she didn't mind her rude words.

But people bowed their heads and said: "But I don't know why my wife searched the house for treasures and jade. Everything that is a little strange is ordered to be rolled up. What do you say is clean, so as to save others from talking. If you want to talk about yesterday Didn’t the housewives check it all over again? Why did they check it again?”

Daiyu knew that it was the success of embroidering spring bags that made Mrs. Wang worry about Baoyu, so she remained silent.

But people are still wondering: "The words of being a husband and wife are private jokes between Si'er and Baoyu, why did it fall into the ears of the wife, and there are some whispers between us and Baoyu on weekdays. I don't know how the wife knows... ..."

Qingwen said without thinking, "There must be an ear god in your house."

"Ah?!" Keren turned his head and looked shocked, and it took him a long time to realize: "That's not true! Otherwise, the joke we said after closing the door would have spread."

Qingwen didn't even need to guess and said the second sentence: "This person must be an attacker!"

"Ah?!" Keren thought about it again this time, "It must be her, either she or Musk Moon, anyway, these people are all made out of the same mold, pretending to be well-behaved on the surface, but actually cunning."

The rest of the maids felt the same hatred with Keren. After all, they were all in the workplace, and no one wanted to meet such a spy-like colleague.

However, after being enlightened by Qingwen, and being surrounded by many little sisters and scolding spies for a long time, his mood obviously improved, and he began to gossip about Jia's affairs: "Speaking of which, Jia's mansion is not working anymore, it's better to leave early .”

"How do you say it?" Daiyu was quite interested in this.

Ke Ren said: "The other day, Grandma Zhen from the East Mansion came to talk to the ancestors, but she didn't expect to stay for dinner. The people below were caught off guard, so they could only bring a bowl of white rice up."

Grandma Zhen in Dongfu refers to Youshi, and Jiamu always eats green rice, so according to the etiquette, you should bring a bowl of green rice to Youshi.The maids who travel to and from Beijing and other families on weekdays naturally know the reason behind this.

Xue He asked: "Could it be that the Jia family's kitchen is so economical? The old lady of the Jia family just ignores it?"

Ke Ren said: "That's not true. The old lady saw that Grandma Zhen still ate white rice, so she asked about it. Yuanyang Hui, now it's 'you can make a hat with your head', and you can't afford to have a little extra."

These words were a bit unlucky, and the maids in the mansion couldn't help but click their tongues. They have been instructed since the first day they served the master, so they must be careful not to speak in frustration.I didn't expect this mandarin duck girl to be so careless.

But the person said again: "It's still my wife who thinks what she said is out of character, and quickly replied that the drought and flood in the past two years have made it impossible to pay the rice in the village according to the amount. So it is all available to eat."

Xue He interjected: "Could it be that the masters will have a big appetite one day, so they can't eat one more meal if they want?"

But she asked a good question, ordinary rich and noble people cook more and more food in the kitchen, but Jia's family has to cook according to the quota, and there is no surplus. It can be seen that it is really in decline. up.

There was a servant girl who comforted Keren: "At least you leave that house, otherwise the masters will have to cook rice with human heads, and there is no guarantee that one day the servants will not even take away the brown rice."

But people are big-hearted, thinking about it with a look of rejoicing: "Isn't it? Jia's mansion can't even get a whole ginseng branch. One day, when the wife dispenses medicine, there will only be some ginseng ointment and reed beard, and a few scattered ginseng. look."

Seeing Daiyu sitting there silent, Qingwen knew that she was worried about the Jia family, so she immediately persuaded her: "Mrs. Why should we worry about other people's family?"

Daiyu nodded and didn't think about it anymore.He also asked where Keren was going, but what about Keren herself? Unlike Qingwen, she still wanted to rely on a big family to work, and felt that it was safer than fighting alone, so Daiyu accepted her body deed and let her work in the future. Stay in Lin Mansion to live.

Today, Qingwen guessed that Mrs. Wang had her own plan, just to comfort Daiyu, but she didn't expect that after two days, they would really know about Mrs. Wang's plan.

Facing the financial loopholes and unsustainable cash flow of Jia's mansion, Mrs. Wang, the wife in charge of Jia's mansion, came up with a plan to send an official matchmaker to Lin's family to propose marriage.

The maids in Daiyu’s yard were blown up first, and nothing else was mentioned, but Keren’s experience made them dislike Jia’s family, and they learned from Keren that the Jia’s house is now in a state of insolvency. The girl is getting married.

So one by one secretly eavesdropped in the tea-serving pavilion on the side of the main hall, Madam Bai also knew what they were thinking, so she asked Zhenyun to pretend not to see these maids, and let them listen to what the official matchmaker said.

This official matchmaker is also a talent. Let's start with the birth of Yushi: "Speaking of the son of the Jia family, he was born in the capital city. How many people in the world were born with Yushi? It's really priceless!"

Mrs. Bai said coldly: "That's right, how many people in the world were born with jade in their mouths? None of the princes were born with jade in their mouths. How could a family of a fifth-rank official dare to claim that their child was born with jade in their mouths?" ? No matter how expensive it is, how expensive can it be to go to the royal family?"

The matchmaker wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and said: "Young master from the Jia family is smart and obedient. It's not that my wife is talking nonsense. There are hundreds of young masters out there who are not as good as him."

Mrs. Bai said coldly: "Since you are smart and obedient, why are you not even a scholar at such an age?"

matchmaker:……

Feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles, she adjusted her sitting posture and said: "This young master of the Jia family has an elder sister who is a noble concubine, who is being favored now, she is a real uncle of the country!"

Mrs. Bai glanced over coldly: "A serious uncle of the country has only the brothers of the queen's natal family. A noble concubine is certainly more noble than our Lin family, but she can't pretend that she is an uncle of the country, otherwise Yu Shi will be able to join the Jia family. Come."

The official media's face was blue and red, she thought about it, and finally said: "This uncle of the Jia family belongs to the Wang family, and now Lord Wang Ziteng is guarding the border nine cities, the Holy Majesty relies on him very much."

Mrs. Bai was unmoved: "Then you should talk about marriage for the Wang family, what about the Jia family? After all, who cares about this friendship? Which family in Beijing doesn't have many distinguished relatives, and who doesn't have many families?" Poor relatives, everyone regards them as relatives, isn't that a mess?"

The official media has never been so restless as it is today. She said that she has been a matchmaker for many years, but where has she ever encountered a man who brags so much, and was beaten one by one when he came to the woman's house?I couldn't help hating Mrs. Wang in my heart. If Mrs. Wang hadn't used these things to put money on her face and insisted on telling her everything, why would she be exposed now?

Mrs. Bai smiled lightly: "Although the two families are relatives, they are still separated by one floor. Maybe the other side thinks that his son is a good brother, but parents always prefer their daughters, so they will marry their daughters without asking the truth. .not to mention..."

She deliberately paused, and then made a secretive expression: "Besides, it's because she is a relative that she knows more than outsiders. She knows some things about the Jia family, and she doesn't want her daughter to marry into it!"

The matchmaker suddenly realized, no wonder this lady has been disliked since she came in. It turned out that the root lies here, and he remembered some rumors he had vaguely heard in the past: what is the dirty and smelly nest of the Jia family's east mansion, and why the Jia family put usury outside , What father and son are competing for a daughter.She immediately understood, she used to think that this was a rumor deliberately spread by internal strife in the big family, but now seeing Mrs. Bai's behavior, she really believed it.

She hurriedly stood up and said goodbye, and kept apologizing to Madam Bai: "It's true that they kept it from me a lot. I was still thinking about a good marriage that I knew all about, but I didn't think that since I knew all about it, why didn't I settle down earlier."

This is what Mrs. Bai wanted, and she smiled and took tea to see off the guests: "Those who don't know don't blame it, it's your fault!"

While the matchmaker thanked Mrs. Bai in his heart, he also secretly made up his mind that he would never marry Jia again!

"What? The Lin family flatly refused?" Mrs. Wang was stunned after hearing what the official media said.

The official media said with a half-hearted smile: "My dear wife, this matter in your family is really difficult. I thought it was because the two families had a tacit understanding and I just let me go through the motions. I don't have that in mind."

When Mrs. Wang heard it, she was shocked by these words. She thought that with the style of the Jia family, Yuanchun's current status, and Baoyu's talents, the Lin family could not wait to agree.

Hearing this, it turns out that the Lin family didn't take a fancy to their Jia family at all.

"But our Jia family is not in the eyes of his family..." Mrs. Wang couldn't care less for a moment, she just stood on the ground and muttered to herself.

The matchmaker raised her eyelids: "Don't tell me, the daughter of a second-rank official has a generous dowry. I have seen her. She looks good and behaves well, even if she enters the palace and becomes a concubine, it is more than enough! "

She was angry and deliberately said something aggressive.

Mrs. Wang was very angry.She didn't expect to be rejected at all. Didn't the old lady always want to marry Daiyu?Ask the old lady for advice!
