The Red Mansion's Traversal Raiders

Qingwen looked at the fresh gadgets on the kang table, and couldn't help laughing, "Look, the second master just went back to school on the first day, so he went to the temple fair so impatiently. He knew that the old lady was worried, but he didn't say anything. Send someone to report first."

"Since you are so virtuous, when Baoyu comes back, persuade him face to face, what are you talking about with me?" Xiren joked.

"That one doesn't listen to people's persuasion?" Qingwen took a bamboo nine-link ring and sat down to fiddle with it. "I won't do such thankless things."

"In front of the old lady, he is very well-behaved." Xiren pointed to the chime clock on the opposite side, "Look, this is just to catch the old lady's meal and come back soon."

Qingwen looked up, pinched her fingers to count the time, "Oh, it's true! I'm the one who is just worrying about it."

The two were chatting, when the little maid, Zhui'er, led Jin Chuan in, "Sister Xiren, Madam ordered Sister Jin Chuan to bring the tribute oranges."

In the past few days, Xiren has recognized most of the respectable maids and women in Jia's mansion.Although Wang Xifeng is in charge of Rongguo Mansion now, Mrs. Wang should not be underestimated.As one of the four maidservants in Mrs. Wang's room, Jin Chuan naturally remembered it early in the morning.

"You two can save trouble, but you are hiding here." Jin Chuan walked in with a smile.

"I also said that you don't come to the door in your spare time, why come here when you have time." Qingwen raised her head, "So you brought someone here by order?"

"Look at this mouth, it's really unforgiving!" Jin Chuan raised his eyebrows, making a gesture to pinch Qingwen's mouth.

Zhui'er held an agate plate with red plums and twigs. The oranges the size of a baby's fist were arranged in a tower shape.

"Where are the tribute oranges so precious? You have to send them yourself?" Xiren waved his hand, making Zhui'er back down.

"Don't be ignorant of the goods, this is really a good thing that can't be bought with money!" Jin Chuan blinked and sold it.

"There really aren't many things we haven't seen in our mansion." As Xiren said while thinking, he suddenly had a thought, "Could it be the source of my wife's sister who married into the Xue family in Jinling? I heard that the Xue family is a serious royal family." merchants!"

"It's his family!" Seeing Qingwen still puzzled, Jin Chuan was happy to show off, "We have a saying in Jinling - it snows a lot in a good year, pearls are like earth and gold is like iron! The 'snow' here is Xue's family. This Xue's family It is Ziweishe's descendant Xue Gong, who is now leading the money banker of the inner government, and it is said that the family has a million dollars..."

This small plate of tribute oranges has a lot of background.With the title of Royal Queen, can the price double and rise?It can appear on the table of Rongguo Mansion, presumably the shopkeeper of the Xue family came to visit the mistress' sister, Mrs. Wang.

Qingwen listened carefully, and what Jin Chuan said was beaming with joy and honor.

Xiren poured out a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

Even if this tribute orange has a great background, it is only a plate of food, how can Jin Chuan come and deliver it in person?Mrs. Wang has always loved Baoyu very much, and often sent him some rare treasures for him to play with, but Jin Chuan was never sent here.

When Jin Chuan came here, he probably didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing...

"Look at me, as soon as I mentioned Xue's family, I forgot about the business." Jin Chuan slapped his forehead, and then turned to Xiren, "Madam has always been concerned about Baoyu's illness. Today Baoyu is well, and you have to be free, Madam. I've come to call you and ask about Baoyu's condition."

"It was supposed to be reported to my wife, but it's my fault that I forgot about it." Xiren gave Qingwen a wink, then hooked Jin Chuan's arm affectionately, "Let's go, go tonight Now, it's time for dinner, ma'am."

Xiren and Jin Chuan left together, leaving Qingwen anxious in the room alone.

Along the way, the attackers made several indirect remarks, but Jin Chuan only said that Mrs. Wang was concerned about Baoyu's current situation, and she answered impeccably.Xiren tried several times and failed, so he completely gave up, and just chatted about some anecdotes in the mansion to pass the time.

After a while, the two entered Rongxi Hall.

The five main rooms are all empty, and Mrs. Wang is only in the three side rooms to the east of the main room for her daily work and rest discussions.Jin Chuan asked the attacker to wait for a while, and went inside to report.

Xiren waited for a while, then saw Jin Chuan walking over with a troubled face, "Madam just delivered the meal, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while."

"It's just a coincidence that I came here." Xi Xin said, this closed door is probably Madam Wang's shaming.Xiren just pretended to be ignorant, and smiled at Jin Chuan, "Madam can't do without your service, go ahead and get busy, I'll wait here for Madam to summon."

"Don't worry, I'll report to you as soon as my wife finishes her meal." Jin Chuan said thoughtfully.

"Thank you for thinking about it." Xiren smiled gratefully.

After Jin Chuan made a promise, he turned and went back to the house.Xiren didn't dare to move rashly, he just raised his eyes and scanned his surroundings.It was mid-winter, and the trees in the courtyard had only bare branches.

Although Xiren is not punished to stand, but standing alone in the corridor, it is a bit embarrassing.

Most of the maids and women who came and went knew Xiren, but because it was Mrs. Wang's yard, they didn't dare to chat with Xiren blatantly, and generally nodded their heads as a greeting.

Xiren waited until his face was frozen and his feet were numb before he waited for Mrs. Wang's summons.

Mrs. Wang saw that the tip of Xiren's nose and cheeks were red from the cold, as if she had applied rouge, she couldn't help but frowned, "This face is red, but it's from the cold? Jin Chuan is also naive, so I won't attract you." Go to the waiter and wait, but spend some time in the corridor to enjoy the air."

If it wasn't for Mrs. Wang's instruction, would she still be served by a cold bench in order to attack the dignity of a first-class maid?

Xiren didn't show any displeasure on his face, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Lao remembers, I only waited for a while, and it doesn't get in the way. Besides, the rules in the house are like this. Jin Chuan has his wife who has carefully trained | Wrong."

"The law is nothing but human feelings." Mrs. Wang smiled and shook her head, seemingly disapproving, but she didn't blame Jin Chuan for anything.

"Madam, please have some tea." Jin Chuan brought tea on a small tea tray, Mrs. Wang took the teacup, lifted the lid, and drank the tea slowly.Jin Chuan stood beside Mrs. Wang and winked naughtily at Xiren, as if thanking her for helping to speak just now.

Xiren pursed his lips into a smile and lowered his head.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask if he is really cured?" Mrs. Wang put down the teacup.

"The former doctor Han came to the doctor and said that the second master is all right. According to my opinion, the second master was hot and dry at night, and he couldn't sleep well every night. These days, he has been sleeping deeply. He didn't wake up until the sun was high. It can be seen that he is better. It's gone." Xiren said.

"What did you eat this morning?" Mrs. Wang asked.

"The old lady specially ordered to stew rice porridge with sour bamboo shoots and chestnuts. The second master ate two mouthfuls, but he didn't think it was sweet. He mixed it with rose dew and only ate half a bowl. Then he picked up a lotus root powder and cinnamon sugar cake. Two butter fried small noodles..." Xiren counted them one by one.

Mrs. Wang listened attentively, and waited until Xiren had finished speaking before she held the Buddhist beads, smiling kindly like a Bodhisattva, "Sure enough, she came from the old lady's side, and the service was really meticulous."

"Don't dare to be a wife to praise, this is what I should." Xiren said respectfully.

"You child is too honest. Those who make merit will be rewarded, and those who make mistakes will be punished. There is nothing to be modest about." Mrs. Wang called Caiyun, "You take the set of burnt red agate jewelry I saw the day before yesterday."

But after a while, Caiyun took a box and gave it to the attacker.

The attacker quickly gave way.

Caiyun is Mrs. Wang's confidant, and she has a certain dignity in front of Mrs. Wang.Seeing Xiren saying "Don't dare", Caiyun joked with a smile, "Don't you dare to accept it? You serve Baoyu well, and in the future you will receive rewards and get soft!"

Xiren was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked up at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded, "Listen to Caiyun, let's continue."

When it comes to this matter, Xiren can't tolerate any further refusal.Xiren lowered his head and took the box, "Thank you, Madam, for the reward."

Mrs. Wang said nothing more, and waved the attacker to retreat.

The attacker carried the box and went out of the house.The icicles under the eaves reflected the sunlight, dazzling people for a while.The maidservants who came to the main courtyard to answer the conversation saw the jewelry box in Xiren's arms, and all looked sideways and pointed.

It was just a wooden box a few feet square, and for a moment, Xi Ren felt that it was as heavy as a thousand weights.

Xiren smiled wryly in his heart.A few days ago, after several struggles, she was cleared of the accusation of being framed by Nanny Li.Today, Mrs. Wang's light move and heavy reward made Xi Ren once again in a dilemma!

Sure enough, the high-ranking ones are playing games, and the low-ranking ones can only serve as pawns in the charge.

Xiren came from Jiamu's side, with a clear camp.If Mrs. Wang really wanted to win her over, it would naturally be done in private, so how could she expose the reward to the public? Isn't this intentional to make Jia Mu suspicious?

This move of alienation can be described as a conspiracy.

Even if Jia's mother knew that her daughter-in-law Mrs. Wang was deliberately provoking, the thorn in her heart would not disappear.And as Mrs. Wang became more and more dependent on the attacker, the thorn would only get deeper...

Xiren crossed the threshold and left Rongxi Hall.

It seems that it is not easy to be a maid of a noble family.The two people in power in the inner courtyard of the Rongguo Mansion are playing games, she is a maid, it is better to get out earlier, otherwise Li Nanny will be a lesson for her.

Xiren lowered his head and thought, the matter of redemption is about to be put on the agenda.

However, before leaving the mansion, Xiren has to try his best to survive in the cracks.This is the first time Mrs. Wang has wooed her. Given Jia's mother's control over the Rongguo Mansion, she will surely hear about it soon.

Thinking of this, Xiren couldn't help quickening his pace.

Instead of letting other people report this matter, it is better for Xiren to tell Jia Mu as soon as possible, so as to show his loyalty.Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been fighting for many years, so they must have a deep understanding.

As long as Jia's mother still needs to attack people for a day, she will be safe for a day.

Xiren gently stroked the edge of the jewelry box, and a refreshing coolness came from his fingertips.If Mrs. Wang wants to take this move, she will have to reward her one after another in the future.She was a blessing in disguise, and she was not short of her first pot of gold.
