The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

shy

She pursed her lips and said: "Forget it, tomorrow is a good day for Ying'er, let's wait until these two days pass before we care about it."

Wang Xifeng hesitated: "Sister Lin..."

Mrs. Xing waved her hand: "Your sister Lin has always been transparent, so she won't blame us for Erfang's fault. By the way, Yu'er brought a very generous gift that day, even though it was a product of her own estate, After all, she hasn't left the cabinet yet. When she leaves, you should prepare a generous gift in return, so that no one will look down on our family. "

"Madam, don't worry, my daughter-in-law understands the rules." Wang Xifeng replied quickly.

Mrs. Xing nodded: "You are getting more and more experienced now, so I have nothing to worry about. It's just a few words of advice. But right now our house is busy, but internally, we can't support the excitement. Madam The relatives spent countless money in the family, not to mention, they didn't bring any benefits except a false name. Instead, the eunuchs in the palace were attracted from time to time to fight the autumn wind. Lian'er's errand was not only given by your uncle Lin, but also thanks to him. You are full of passion, this time the errand is really hard work. You husband and wife are one body, one is prosperous and the other is damaged. You must take good care of him, and you must not invite unnecessary troubles for him. Our family is now There is no shortage of money, if you let me know that you are involved in another lawsuit, don't blame me for being ruthless."

These words made Wang Xifeng's heart tremble, and she couldn't help but think of what Aunt Xue told her that day.She said that Xue's shop sent a batch of goods to the palace and was returned, and she asked herself to secretly take Zhang Jialian's name card to visit the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs so that she could make a deal.Thinking about it now, fortunately I didn't agree.If something goes wrong here, wouldn't it cause Lian Er to lose his job?Think about the fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver he brought back from Huguang last time,

It is not comparable to the three or five thousand silver promised by the Xue family.Forget it, I am busy at the end of the year, and sometimes I forget it for a while.The big deal is to avoid them these days.

Xing is not so indifferent to everything on the surface, after several years of decoration, almost every room has her eyeliner.She will not take the initiative to harm others, but she will never allow others to put their hands into her room.Jia Lian and his wife are still a little young after all, and with limited vision, I still have to take care of some things for them!

But when Aunt Liu arrived at her nephew's house, she didn't mind the hard work of the journey, so she hurriedly walked Sanjin into the courtyard for a while.After shopping around, I returned to the flower hall with a smile: "This yard is nice, and there are quite a few houses. You can live in it if you have more children in the future." Then he hesitated: "Such a big yard will cost a lot of money. Money? Do you have enough money in your hand to hire something later? "

Liu Xianglian said with a smile: "This time, the Holy One rewarded my nephew five hundred gold and one thousand silver. The house and the furniture cost less than 3000 taels of silver, plus some earned before, there is a total of more than 5000 taels left. I guess It's almost enough."

Aunt Liu frowned: "I didn't expect the house in Beijing to be so expensive. The big one is only 800 taels in our place. I should have told you in advance to buy a smaller house. You have a small population, so it will happen sooner or later." There is no need for a big house. After all, Miss Jia is the daughter of a prince, so even if all the money is filled in, it may not be too much."

Liu Xianglian was speechless, who said just now that this house is a good one?How did he change his tune in a blink of an eye.He curled his lips and replied, "It's okay. My second elder brother Lian knows best. If he dislikes it, he won't agree to this marriage. In fact, he helped to find this house. It's only a short distance from Jia's house." More than ten miles away, it is very convenient, and it is also close to go to the palace as an errand."

Speaking of this, Aunt Liu finally laughed again: "That time you wrote to me and said that you became a guard of the imperial army, your uncle still didn't believe it.

, wondering if you are bragging?Later, your second aunt's letter also arrived, and we were at ease.Why aren't you wearing guard clothes today?Put it on soon and show me, I haven't seen what the clothes of the guards of the Imperial Army look like before! "

This time when she came to Beijing, Aunt Liu was going to participate in the Jiji Ceremony to welcome the Spring Festival, thinking that there were not many opportunities like this, she deliberately brought her two daughters here to open their eyes.

The eldest daughter, Yuzhen, has a stable temperament, although she is a little curious in her heart, she still can't hold it back.On the contrary, Yuling was young, and she was very familiar with her because she had been together for a long time before, so she clapped her hands with her mother and said, "That's right, cousin, please go and change your clothes for us to see. My father said that the guards of the Imperial Army can Prestige!"

Liu Xianglian reluctantly went to change the armor she was wearing on duty. The imperial guards are also the face of the palace. The third-class guards are dedicated to guarding the Golden Temple.Liu Xianglian was already very handsome, but after putting on the armor, she looked even more handsome and tall.

The eyes of Liu's mother and daughter lit up after seeing it, and Aunt Liu suddenly felt a little worried and thought: Alas, this child is outstanding in appearance, no wonder he has to find someone who is stunning, and I don't know what the girl from the Jia family looks like?If it doesn't suit the child's wishes, what should the young couple do if they don't get together in the future?

At this time, Mrs. Xing was also calling Yingchun to her side to remind her: "Do you know who the guest of honor I will invite for you tomorrow?"

Yingchun was a little puzzled: "Isn't it Liuma...isn't Aunt Liu's cousin, Mrs. Chen?" Because Mrs. Liu worshiped Jia's mother as a godmother, everyone in the house called her Mrs. Liu. Be Aunt Liu.

Xing smiled lightly: "Your Aunt Liu's cousin is just the wife of a squire, and her status is far worse than your Aunt Liu. Do you know why I invited her to be your official guest?"

Didn't it mean that Liu's cousin was recommended because of her embarrassing status?This is what the wife told me that time, why did the wife ask herself again now, Yingchun became more and more confused, and couldn't help blinking at Xing.

Xing laughed: "At first, I was afraid that if I told you in advance, you would be a little flustered and prone to troubles, but after thinking about it, I felt that if I didn't tell you, it would be inappropriate for you to handle it. It would be bad to be rude. Let me tell you like this Well, your father and I have already arranged a marriage for you, this is Mrs. Chen's nephew, the guard Liu who just appointed the third-class imperial guard..."

When leaving Rongxi Hall, Yingchun's footsteps were still a little erratic, and she had already made a marriage arrangement.She glanced at the brocade box in her hand, which contained a pair of mandarin duck sabers. The wife said it was a token from the man, and her ears couldn't help but warm up.

Xueyan happened to come over to say hello to Mrs. Xing. After seeing Yingchun, she rushed to say hello to her, but found that Yingchun was blushing, waved her hand and walked away quickly.Xueyan couldn't help thinking: Could it be that Yingchun became shy after knowing her marriage?
