The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

Liu Jialai

Jokes aside, Xueyan's movements were still quick. She re-cut Daiyu's hair and put on a more delicate little phoenix and a few emerald flowers.Thinking about those Liu family members, they probably have shallow eyelids, and they might not be able to recognize things that are too low-key, so thinking about it, they put a butterfly hair comb inlaid with colorful treasures on the back of her head, and a pair of earrings on her ears. Pair of pendants in hard gold with emeralds.

Seeing all of her order, Dai Yu gave her a glance: "Are you asking me to make a jewelry stand?"

Xueyan laughed and said: "How could it be? The servant feels that these exquisite and precious jewelry have been kept in the box and covered with dust, and it is a little wronged. The girl will let them see people anyway, or is it a waste of so many good things?"

"There are so many excuses." Daiyu scolded with a smile, but she didn't object. The main reason was that her attire didn't look vulgar in the mirror. If she was piled up into a jewelry shelf like Lian's second sister-in-law, she would never agree of.

In the flower hall where the guests were received, the Liu family had been waiting impatiently for a long time, but they rushed here early in the morning without even having breakfast. She thought she went into the palace before dawn.Although the servants of the Lin family looked quite polite and provided good food and wine for breakfast and lunch, it was really exhausting to stay in such a small room for half a day.

It's not that they haven't thought about going out, but the servants of the Lin family are not vegetarians. Even if they move out of the Liu family, those maids and women will firmly block the gate of the yard and refuse to let them wander around.When I see Mrs. Liu later, I must sue them...

When they were thinking about each other, they suddenly saw two little boys squatting at the door and playing with the golden leaves, pointing to the door of the yard and saying: "Here we come!"

A lot of people..."

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu quickly stood up and squeezed to the door with their juniors. The wooden door was pushed open at once. maid.

The servant girl looked at them with disdain, then stood aside and bowed, "Madam, please."

As soon as the words finished, Liu Shi, who they hadn't seen for a long time, walked in in a luxurious dress.Followed by a group of hula-la, the maids and women add up to at least 20 people.

Liu Shi glanced at the two sister-in-laws, and raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Why did the two sister-in-laws come in person? I was just saying that I will go back some time in the next few days." In fact, she really wanted to kick these people out of the house.It's just that she is happy to drive people away, but the Lin family is not.Now that she is the Lin Liu family, she cannot let the Lin family's innocence be criticized because of her.

Seeing her good attitude, Liu's two sister-in-laws quickly looked at each other, thinking that this trip was the right one, so let's just say, no matter how powerful she is now, she can't ignore her mother's family, right?

When they were about to talk about their difficulties at home and ask for some benefits, they saw a servant girl carefully helping Mrs. Liu to sit at the main seat, and then said with a smile: "Mrs. No, no, you have just returned to Beijing and they have come to your door, so it can be seen that the love for you cannot be faked." She waved her hand and said to the maidservants : "You guys go down first, let the wife and her family have a good time to catch up."

After everyone had dispersed, Xueyan then said to Liu's two sister-in-laws: "The two uncles and wives don't know that when Madam was married from Jinling

At this time, I was so sad that I only waited for my concubine and Mr. Liu Erzi to send off their marriage.When a woman in a family gets married, which one is not dressed in red makeup and brocade clothes?Unfortunately, our wife didn't get a stitch from her natal family... If it weren't for the heavy dowry gift from the master and the fact that the fourth prince read two dowries for Concubine Ning's sake, I don't know how thin the wife's dowry would be How far!Rao is so, and it is not uncommon to be laughed at.The two uncles and wives are here today, are they going to make up the dowry for our wife? "

It does not make sense?We are here to fight the autumn wind, why are we still thinking about taking things from us.The two quickly shook their heads like a rattle: "That's not the case. The family has become more and more difficult these past few years. We really don't have any money left to prepare a dowry for my aunt."

"It turned out to be like this." Xueyan sighed regretfully, then looked at Liu Shi and said, "Oh, this is really not good, I thought you were going out and entering the palace recently, so money is tight No way, I was thinking that the two uncles and wives are here to help you a little bit. It seems that this will not work. Seeing that the year is coming, I must have money in my hand, what should I do? !"

Seeing the wink from Xue Yan's back to the Liu family, how could Liu not understand that she was really acting, and couldn't help frowning in agreement: "If it's really not possible, just take the two big clothes that can't be worn in my case. Take out the clothes and exchange them for some silver for the time being."

Aunt Liu next to her couldn't help interjecting at this time: "My sister is now a housekeeper, and she is a second-rank imperial order. How could she be reduced to being a dresser. Could it be to coax us with words!"

As soon as the words fell, Xue Yan sneered and said: "My wife's words are so boring. Could it be that my wife is the one who is cold-hearted and refuses to help her family? If it weren't for the government who has been too picky and instigated these years, let the wife The bottomless pit of your family has been filled with the hard work earned over the years, how can you be used as clothes now? You think this deep house is so easy to advance? Which pair of eyes is not rich and honored? No one will recognize you if you don’t have money to open the way It's madam! Besides, madam is a continuation. There are both a daughter-in-law and an eldest son in this mansion. Madam has ready-made children after marriage, but how can she be so easy to be a stepmother? It's better to be dignified and comfortable when she is a female wife !"

"This, this, how could it be like this?" Aunt Liu muttered to herself, thinking that the eyes of those maidservants were quite respectful after she came here, but she could naturally feel the disdain and contempt in her eyes .

Second Sister-in-law Liu is much more flexible than sister-in-law, she rolled her eyes and said: "No matter what, my sister is now the mistress of this family, and now she should show her demeanor. If the servants are disobedient, just clean them up. It’s not up to you if you want to sell it? Don’t talk about servants, even the original girl and master can’t disrespect your mother. The stepmother is also a mother. My sister just let go and clean up these people. What consequences will be left to our natal family Here you go!"

Xueyan sneered: "Second Uncle's wife is very angry, and she just cleans up. Could it be that you have forgotten that there are still seven crimes in this world! Are you going to push my wife into the fire pit? Do you think you didn't do it last time?" I sold my wife as I wished, and now I want to get back the place!"
