The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

The storm started

Xueyan could feel that the other party seemed to be much colder.But she didn't think much about it, she wasn't from the same world in the first place, she just thought that the other party looked down on her status, and she didn't want to ask for things from the servants.

At this time, Ms. Li and the others had just come out of the snack shop. When they saw Xueyan standing here, they thought something was wrong, so they hurriedly gathered around.

When they got closer, they saw that the young man was Lin Ming, and hurriedly greeted him.

At this time, Xue Yan said to the coachman again: "Later, you drive slowly, so that this old man can keep up with us."

The coachman hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, but Li's mother asked suspiciously: "Why did you let him follow us? What's the matter with these chrysanthemums?"

Xueyan smiled and said: "I see that the girl looks a little depressed these days, and there is nothing new in the mansion. These pots of chrysanthemums look pretty lively, so I bought them with silver, and I will give them to any girl who can coax me back home." Le, it can be considered that they didn't open in vain this time."

Mother Li: "You, you feel hot when you have two silver coins in your hand. Since you have bought them all, then take them back and show the girl."

Xueyan smiled and said: "I was planning to bleed heavily. Fortunately, I met the knowledgeable Young Master Ming, who saved me a lot of money. I said I would give him two pots, but Master Ming didn't want it. I was quite embarrassed."

Hearing this, Li's mother laughed and joked: "Master Ming, you don't have to be polite to this little girl. She is rich, but she spends a lot of money on weekdays. It's rare for her to be so generous today. The young master chooses two pots. After passing this village, she will be very generous." This store is gone."

Lin Ming smiled awkwardly when he heard the words. He thought that Xue Yan was using the master's money to pretend to be generous, but he didn't expect that he bought it with his own money.By the way, are maids earning a lot now? I spent 20 taels of silver without blinking an eye. I usually don't have so much silver with me.

No matter what, it's not easy for a maid to be on a job. I don't know how long I've been saving this money, so Lin Ming is even more embarrassed to ask for it.Seeing that Xueyan was still accompanied by someone, he found an excuse to leave.

I don't know why, but Xue Yan always feels that this young master Ming's back is a bit hasty, a bit like running away?

Shaking her head and putting aside these irrelevant thoughts, she and Mama Li got into the carriage and went back.

Because a corner gate in the backyard was relatively close to the yard where they lived, Xueyan told the coachman to simply go around the gate and go to the back.

Unexpectedly, when they passed the gate, their carriage passed smoothly, but the cart at the back was stopped by several servants of Jia's family.

Xueyan heard a burst of yelling, and hurriedly opened the curtain to look back. When she saw the uncle pulling the cart surrounded by many servants of Jia's family, she couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly asked the coachman to stop.

Li's mother also heard the movement, seeing that Xueyan was about to get out of the car, she quickly stopped her: "Don't show up easily, I'll meet them first." After finishing speaking, she hurriedly got out of the carriage and walked over, Ji Liang also hurriedly followed passed.

At first, I thought that Li's mother would be fine if she made it clear in the past. I didn't expect that the servants of the Jia family obviously didn't take her and Ji Liang seriously. Even if they were tens of meters away, Xueyan could still see Li. Mom had a bad look on her face.

She thought for a while and asked the coachman, "Who is leading the way over there? Why are you so arrogant?"

The coachman looked back and said, "That's Qian Huaqian, the manager of the comprador office. He always has his eyes on his head. I guess you will suffer a lot this time." The coachman knew that Xueyan picked out those chrysanthemums himself. I bought it with silver, but since the car of chrysanthemums is now being photographed by Qian Hua, it is reckoned to be "a meat bun beating a dog, and it will never return."

Xueyan sneered: "No matter how domineering he is, is it possible that if he robs his relatives, he can still grab things?" After finishing speaking, he glanced at the coachman: "If this matter becomes serious, you will never be able to get it back, why don't you hurry up?" Find a way to tell Steward Lai?" The coachman trembled when he heard this, and then quickly entered the mansion through the corner door next to him.

Seeing him leaving, Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief, jumped out of the carriage, and angrily walked forward: "What's the matter? Mother Li, what are you dawdling here? Seeing that it's getting late, the girl will be here soon." It's time to greet the old lady, if the flowers can't be delivered, both of us will suffer."

When Mama Li saw her coming, she felt very anxious and irritable. She was an old lady who was fine with being said a few words by these bastards. After losing face, even the girl's face will not be bright at that time.

However, Mama Li is an old man of the Lin family. After hearing what Xueyan said, she quickly picked it up: "I explained it, but the Jia family insisted that the chrysanthemum was the one they fell in love with and it should belong to them."

As for the old man, how could he have seen such a battle before, he was so frightened that he squatted aside and shivered.

Xueyan snorted coldly: "It's really strange. In the past, I heard people say that the servants of Rongguo Mansion like to run rampant outside the fish and meat neighbors. I thought it was just rumors. Now it seems that even the things of relatives are going to be snatched." Well, there's nothing else we can't do."

What she said was extremely impolite, a young servant immediately showed a fierce expression when he heard it, but Qian Hua, the leader, had some eyesight, and he hesitated when he heard the old woman say that it was bought by the cousin of the Lin family.It's just that he couldn't stand the teasing from the people below, and thought that this woman was a rough messenger at first glance, and it was enough to scare her with a few words afterwards.I didn't expect a maid to appear here...

Qian Hua heard the words "Old Madam" and "Greetings" mentioned in the maid's words, and guessed that it might be bought by the cousin girl as a tribute to the old lady.If he cut off his beard and turned around and was sued by the cousin girl to the old lady, he would not be in good shape.

Just when he was hesitating, an accustomed boy next to him immediately pushed Xueyan, Xueyan was unprepared, and was pushed to the ground in one fell swoop.The area in front of the gate of Rongguo Mansion was paved with bluestone slabs, the snow goose fell heavily on the ground, and there were scratches on the arms immediately.Seeing this, Li's mother and Ji Liang hurried forward to support her.

The young man was still cursing and said: "Brother Qian, then Miss Lin is just a shabby hukou, what should her maid have to be afraid of?"

Such a big commotion at the gate of Rongguo Mansion has already attracted many people here.

Hearing this, Xueyan didn't care about her own injury, struggled to stand up, picked up a pot of chrysanthemums from the cart, and threw it at the boy.Although the boy was more agile and dodged away, the fragments of the flower pot that fell on the ground hit his feet, and he cried out in pain.

Qian Hua narrowed his eyes: "You girl is so courageous, I'm afraid you've lived enough?"

Xueyan snorted, "I'm going to fight to the death today, but I have to make it clear." After she finished speaking, she straightened her clothes, bowed to the spectators around her, and said, "You must have heard what this young man said just now. Yes. I am just a servant, how he treats me is a dispute between our servants, so we don’t have to take it seriously. But the servants of the Jia family should never insult my master, my girl is what he calls the Lin family Biao girl is the eldest daughter of Lord Lin Ruhai Lin, a doctor of the third grade Lantai Temple and Huaiyang patrol salt censor. Our Lin family has five generations of vassals, and the title can only be passed on to our old lady. Not to mention our Lin family, my girl The biological mother is the first aunt and wife of the Rongguo Mansion, the serious master of the Jia family, and now she is being ridiculed by this unreasonable slave one by one as a 'shabby household', my girl can bear this tone, but I, a slave, can't bear it."

As he said that, his eyes turned red: "My master has only our girl's flesh and blood under his knees, and he has always regarded it as a treasure. If it wasn't for the death of his wife, he was afraid that the lack of elders' teachings would affect the girl's life. How could he be willing to let her go all the way? The girl came to this capital city to stay temporarily. If my master knew that the girl was being talked about by the servants here, he would feel sad. We servants really have no face to go back to meet the master."

The people nearby couldn't help talking about it. Those who could live near this Ningrong Street were all wealthy families, and most of the people who came to see the excitement were servants and servants.But these are the people who gossip quickly, don't they?

The corner of Xueyan's mouth buried in the veil was slightly hooked, no matter whether Qian Hua and his party were ordered by others or due to inertia, since they hit her hand today,

Don't blame yourself for killing others.This time, if you don't pick up your bastards, my aunt will take your surname!

They are all from nearby families, and they all know the general style of the Jia family.Besides, a few days ago, Lin Ruhai had someone send several carts of gifts over, and the mighty team was naturally seen by everyone around.Then someone said: "I heard that Mrs. Lin sent 2000 taels of silver for her daughter's daily expenses, and she also sent several carts of gifts that day. Why is the Jia family still neglecting him like this? We all You are a slave, but you dare not make arrangements for your master at will."

"That's right. Didn't you see that the young servant from Jia's family was so ruthless in his attack just now, he pushed the little girl to the ground in one go. Seeing that little girl limping, what a crime!"

Seeing that people around were pointing and pointing more and more intensely, Qian Hua became more irritable in his heart, and immediately waved his hands and said: "It's alright, alright, let's leave quickly, why do you dare to watch the bustle of someone's house?"

After finishing speaking, he said to Xueyan very angrily: "You little girl, you are quite quick-spoken, be careful that Master Qian will make you eat and walk around."

"What a big tone, I think you can't bear to walk around!" A rather majestic voice sounded.

Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Qian Hua couldn't help trembling in his heart, and when he turned his head, he saw the big butler Lai Dazheng standing behind him and staring at him, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said: "Mr. Surprised your old man?"

The snow geese next to him heard that this was Lai Da, and felt a little uneasy. In the original book, this Lai Da did a lot of things to enrich his own pockets, but he is considered to be the direct descendant of Jiamu, so he shouldn't be in trouble with Daiyu, right?
