The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

Silver House

The man woke up very startled, and after entering the door, he first looked around the hall.Seeing this, Lin Ming pretended to turn around casually, casually picked up a bracelet in Xue Yan's hand and said, "The pattern on it is too old-fashioned, it doesn't suit you."

Xueyan thought to herself, I bought it and prepared it as a gift, regardless of whether it looks good or not.Just as he was about to tell Lin Ming to pay attention to his image, he turned his head and saw his face pale, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Ming shook his head lightly: "It's okay, don't panic. Help me find out, where did the group of people at the door go?"

Xueyan looked up, and saw that the person who looked like the shopkeeper was leading several men to the second floor, and said in a low voice: "Go to the second floor." This was the first time she saw Lin Ming in such a state , intuiting something inside, hurriedly asked: "Who are they?"

Lin Ming was afraid that what he said here would cause the two girls to panic, so he whispered: "It's nothing, it looks like an old friend, but I didn't take it too seriously."

Looking at his expression, she knew something was going on, Xueyan thought about it, and said with a smile: "Since you haven't seen it clearly, then go up and take a closer look."

After finishing speaking, she said to the staff who greeted her and her party: "Is this the only thing you have here? Our sisters are not too rough." After speaking, she deliberately glanced at Lin Ming: "It's just that my young master doesn't like these things. , if you don’t have any good ones, we’ll go and look elsewhere.”

The waiter hurriedly smiled and said, "Girl, don't worry, this is the largest silver building in Wuchang Mansion, and we have all kinds of jewelry you want. It's just that the high-quality goods are not available here, and not everyone can see them when they come."

Before he finished speaking, Xue Yan took out a few bank notes from his purse and shook them in front of him: "Do you think we are like people without money?"

At this time, Lin Ming already knew what she was going to do, and immediately cooperated with pretending to be impatient, and walked out: "Okay, okay, we've been here for a long time, let alone tea, we don't even have a seat, let's go back , and let the acquaintance Baibaoge give you a booklet for you to pick."

Hearing the words Baibao Pavilion, the guy's eyes lit up. Although Baibao Pavilion is not as big as their Zhaojinyinlou, but the other party specializes in the business of wealthy families, and their profits are higher than theirs.The so-called colleagues are enemies, and their bosses have long wanted to avoid each other. If I intercept their guests today, the boss will definitely reward them heavily.

Just as the buddy was thinking about it, Lin Ming had almost reached the door, and it seemed that he really wanted to leave.He hurriedly chased after him and said with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, please stop, I was just a little negligent, what kind of tea do you like, we have everything here, the good ones are on the second floor, you go up and have a look, there is really nothing you like It's not too late to go."

At this time, Xueyan also came over and pretended to persuade: "Master, don't worry, doesn't the wife dislike the old style of the Baibao Pavilion recently? The servants see that their craftsmanship is still good, and there may be a delicate face on the second floor. Arrive When you buy it back for your wife, she still won't praise you?"

Only then did Lin Ming pretend to be persuaded: "Okay then, just take a look, if there are no good things, let's leave early, at worst go back to the capital and buy them."

"Okay, young master, you have the final say." Xueyan agreed, then raised her eyebrows and looked at the buddy: "My young master has high vision, don't take that

Some ordinary stuff to fool us. "

The waiter saw that she and Zhu Mei were both wearing gold and silver, and thought that the two maids were dressed so richly, it seemed that this time they really caught a fat sheep.He hurriedly replied to Xueyan: "Don't worry, girl, I wouldn't even dare to give the little one a hundred courage."

He pointed to a private room on the stairs on the first floor and said, "I would like to invite you all to rest in the private room."

Xueyan looked at it, and said disgustedly: "Can such a place be called a private room? Our sisters don't sit in such a place every day, and it's too unclean with people coming and going here." Out of the corner of her eye I caught a glimpse of the shopkeeper walking downstairs, and suddenly became more excited: "Are you open for business? Are you treating customers so perfunctorily? Let's just go and forget it!"

"I'll just say let's go, you insist on watching it here." Lin Ming echoed at the right time.

Zhu Mei also didn't understand what these two people were up to in charades, but when she saw Xue Yan winking at herself, she hurriedly said: "We have visited several stores, this one is considered big, why don't we go and see it. "

At this time, the shopkeeper had already arrived downstairs, and when he saw them arguing here, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?" Seeing that Xue Yan was very well dressed, with a very kind expression on his face, he said, "I don't know what the guests are doing. need?"

Xueyan pinched her waist and snorted coldly: "It's nothing, it's just that your shop is so big that you look down on our young master and don't even have a decent private room. Our young master is angry." Lin Ming cooperated in time and said impatiently: "I They have said several times that they are leaving, you have to stay here, if you don't leave, I will leave first."

The clerk had already ran to the shopkeeper and said a few words, the shopkeeper glared at the clerk with some displeasure, how could such a big customer be let go casually.He hurriedly ran to Lin Ming to apologize, and asked the staff to prepare the best private room on the second floor.

Lin Ming evaded it for a while, and finally followed the waiter to the second floor along the way.

The clerk ushered them into a private room, Xueyan glanced at it, and thought that it was indeed a silver building, and the furniture used were all made of huanghuali, so she pretended not to care and hummed: "It's not too bad, it's like this a long time ago." Wouldn't it save trouble?"

The guy responded with all his mouth, Xue Yan suddenly looked outside the door and asked: "My son loves to be clean, there are no idlers waiting on the second floor, right?"

The clerk hurriedly replied: "No, there is only a regular customer in the room at the end. Don't worry, everyone, they are all lovers of tranquility, and they will not come here to disturb you at will."

Xueyan seemed to be a little dissatisfied: "I have no choice but to make up for it." Then she glanced at him impatiently: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Didn't you hear that my son wanted tea just now? Remember our son only drinks Biluochun, Don't fool us with cheap tea foam."

"Yes, I don't dare." The waiter hurriedly went out to collect tea, thinking that fortunately there was Biluochun in the tea room, if the shopkeeper ran away because of a little tea, the shopkeeper would definitely scold him to death, I hope these people will be more picky later A few things, it's not in vain to waste my hard work for half a day.

Seeing the buddy went out, Xueyan hurriedly said to Zhu Mei: "Go and help him order, don't let any dirty things get mixed into the tea." As she spoke, she blinked at her, Zhu Mei understood and expressed herself Will look at each other.

The guy couldn't help shaking his wits when he heard it, thinking that he owns a silver shop and not a black shop, so why would he put things in the tea indiscriminately?

After Zhu Mei and that guy had left, Lin Ming was about to go to investigate in person when he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.
