The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

Lin Zheng

Xueyan managed to find an excuse to talk to Lin Ming in private, but at the beginning, she didn't have time to be polite, so she went up and asked, "The emperor doesn't have any prejudice against you, does he?"

Lin Ming was very surprised: "How could you have such an idea?"

"You made a lot of contributions to the gold mine last time. I heard that you only got the bounty. Second Master Lian and Young Master Liu both got real shortages. You were born as a serious scholar, and you were appointed as a half-job. Shouldn't it be more justifiable than them?" Xueyan asked a little indignantly.

Lin Ming shook his head: "You have always been smart, why are you so stupid this time? It is precisely because I am a scholar that the Holy Majesty did not rashly reward me with an official position. Although supervisors can also directly assign officials, most of those official positions are not of high grade. Most of them are empty positions or positions without real power, and it will be difficult to be promoted in the future. Since I have the reputation of a scholar, I think my knowledge is not bad, so why leave the good imperial examinations behind and delve into these trails?"

Hearing this, Xueyan suddenly realized: "This is indeed the truth, I was wrong, I thought you offended the emperor and his old man." It should be that if you care about it, you will be chaotic.

Lin Ming laughed, "You look down on me too much. I'm a small talent. Let alone meeting in person, I don't even have the chance to write a memorial to Lord Long Live. It's not easy to offend him."

Xueyan couldn't help laughing "puchi": "You are quite courageous, even the emperor dares to arrange it."

Hearing this, Lin Ming looked around vigilantly, "It's fine if you don't say it, but once you say it, my back feels cold, why do I feel a little guilty!"

After all, the concept of people here is different from her own, Xueyan stopped making fun of that person, and then talked about other things.Ever since Liu's family entered the mansion, it was never her turn to deliver things to Lin Ming's house. Liu's used to assign her mother-in-law to do this job, and rarely sent maids out.

Now the chances of the two meeting each other are decreasing, and they haven't seen each other for a long time, and they always feel that they have endless things to say.In the end it was Xueyan who persisted, and the two reluctantly separated.

Seeing the back of Lin Mingyuan leaving, Xueyan suddenly felt a little funny: The two of them are sneaking like a revolutionary party engaged in underground work. The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!

Mrs. An was still talking to Mrs. Liu, and Daiyu was here to accompany her. When Xueyan returned to Mrs. Liu's courtyard, she saw that the people in the room were having a good time talking.Thinking again that Yancao seems to be suffering from wind and cold, does it feel better now?Seeing that there would be nothing to do in the room for a while, he told Zhu Mei a few words, and then quietly backed out.

When she was walking towards the back room, she met a little maid who ran out in a panic from behind.Xueyan took a closer look, and found that the other party was a little maid in Lin Ying's room, so she couldn't help asking: "What are you doing in the back room when you are not serving the elder brother in the room during the day?"

The little maid replied with some embarrassment: "Brother didn't sleep well last night, and fell asleep just now. Sister Xiaorou said that she can just watch it by herself, let us come back and have a rest."

"You said big brother is sleeping in the house?" Xue Yan asked with a frown.

The little maid replied: "Yes, he had already slept for a while when I came here just now."

Xueyan frowned, but when she passed by Lin Ying's room just now, she clearly saw that the curtain of his room was raised and the door was also left open.She thought it was the sun at noon, and the curtain was opened for ventilation, but it shouldn't have happened if Lin Ying fell asleep.In winter, no matter how good the sun is, the wind brings cold air. Sleeping with the door open will inevitably blow the cold wind. Children are weak...

Thinking of this, Xueyan didn't bother to look at the larkspur, and turned her head and ran to Lin Ying's house in a hurry.
