The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

Meet

The next day, Aunt Liu specially brought her two daughters to visit Lin's family, and also sent a lot of promises from Zhuangzi.Seeing this cousin, Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "There were so many people yesterday that I couldn't have a good chat with my sister. Today I have to talk about my own words."

As she spoke, she asked the servant girl to bring a brocade box to Yuzhen: "I was at someone's house yesterday, so it's hard to give it to you because there are so many people. This is a meeting gift prepared for you early in the morning. You can keep it."

Seeing that the box was inlaid with gold and silver, Yuzhen was a little at a loss, and looked at her own mother.

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Don't look at your mother, just keep it, your sister has it too, she gave it to Jinling when we first met."

Hearing this, Yuzhen looked at Yuling in surprise, but she didn't hear her sister mention it.

When I mentioned this Yuling, I remembered my sad past. When we first met, Liu gave her a big gift, but later my own mother put it away, saying that such precious jewelry should be put in her hands in case she gets messed up. It's bad if it's broken, it's better for her to keep it as a dowry in the future...

Seeing her younger sister looking at her mother sadly, Yuzhen knew what she was doing. She took the brocade box with a smile and thanked her.I secretly made up my mind that I must not leave it to my mother for safekeeping when I go back.

Mrs. Liu sneered at her cousin again: "It's so easy for my cousin to come here, why didn't I bring my two nephews to play together, I haven't seen my eldest brother before."

. "

"Well, at the end of the year, there are a lot of things at home, so I didn't let them come with me." Aunt Liu replied, but she thought to herself that she wanted to bring her two sons with her, aside from other things, If the two sons could meet Lin Ruhai, a former criminal, would it be better to receive some advice?It's a pity that my husband-in-law is a bit unaccustomed to common affairs, and secondly, there is only one carriage at home, so I will have to rent another one with my two sons, and it will cost a lot to hire a coachman. Too many, a little out of hand...

The two of them couldn't help talking about the Jiji ceremony yesterday, Aunt Liu smiled and said, "I thought that the second girl was born noble, and her temperament would inevitably be a little arrogant. The two are also very affectionate. When I went back and told Brother Lian, he was also very happy. Now we have to wait until next year for the official ceremony, and we will try to get this marriage done next year."

Mrs. Liu echoed: "That's right, Brother Lian is not young. Children of his age can give me a drink. But this child now has an errand and a house. When he gets married next year, he will open up early. Sanye, we can rest assured."

"That's not the reason." Aunt Liu laughed, and seeing her two daughters being led by Daiyu to talk in the Nuan Pavilion next door, she leaned up to Liu and said in a low voice: "My sister is not too old now, so she should think about it." You need your own flesh and blood."

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu said with a lonely smile: "Needless to mention Lian'er, I'm already a grandmother at my age, so I don't dare to think too much about it, I can only obey God's will."

"You can't say that. After all, a woman must have her own child in order to quickly gain a foothold in the back house. Now, although that eldest brother has been raised in your room, he is not your own. It is inevitable that he will grow up in the future I will favor my own mother. If my brother-in-law leaves in the future, what will you do in this family? There are people who have children in their 40s outside, and you are still under 30, so there is always a chance." Aunt Liu persuaded

Road.

Knowing that her cousin is for her own good, why doesn't Liu want to have her own flesh and blood, but her age is right there, and she suffered from body cold in the palace before, but now she doesn't dare to have too much hope .Hugging Lin Ying in his yard was also a deliberate decision.However, she clearly knew that in the future, she would not only care about her children, but also the fourth prince.If the fourth prince succeeds, she will always be rich and prosperous.If the fourth prince fails, not only her, but the entire Lin family will face disaster.

Thinking of these, Liu felt that it would be good to have no heirs...

From Daiyu's point of view, although the Chen sisters have little experience and are inevitably restrained in their actions, they get along more easily than the Jia family's older sisters.They should be more straightforward and simple, without so many twists and turns.Therefore, after half a day, Daiyu didn't feel too tired.

Even Xueyan felt that the two sisters had good tempers and were good choices for handkerchief handouts.Each of the Jia family has their own little thoughts, and sometimes it is difficult to have a real sense of intimacy after calculation.

Originally thought that seeing off the mother and daughter of the Chen family would give her a little rest, but the various chores that followed made Xue Yan's thought become extravagant.

Although the Lin family has a simple population, there are quite a few servants now, plus old and old subordinates who came to give gifts, there are people coming and going at the door all day long, and there is no free time.

As soon as Daiyu came back, she was dragged by Mrs. Liu to receive the female guests and deal with housework, Xueyan followed her busy for a few days but was a bit exhausted.Although hospitality

The rewards are decent and generous, but it is really tiring to stand for three or four hours a day.So she found a job making clothes, and gave up this "fat job" in the eyes of others.She is not short of money, and she is comfortable in her room in winter, but it is so sad that it is cold outside haha.

In the blink of an eye, the new year came, and when An's mother and son came to pay New Year's greetings, Xueyan finally saw Lin Ming whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
