The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

Meaning unknown

Sure enough, Xueyan listened to Lai Da's reply: "Your brat is quite imposing. You've been spoiled by your relatives. You've really had the guts of a bear. I'll settle the score with you later!"

After finishing speaking, he smiled and said to Xueyan: "It's all my fault that I have not been strict in training, and let the subordinates bump into Miss Xueyan. I am going to apologize to Miss Xueyan."揖, Xueyan hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it.

Qian Hua, who was on the side, felt a "thump" in his heart, didn't he say that Miss Lin came to play the autumn wind?Why do you look at Uncle Lai's tone, it doesn't seem like that?

He was still muttering in his heart, and was suddenly kicked from behind: "What are you still doing there, why don't you make up for it?"

Originally, Lai Da wanted to let the kid Qian Hua accompany him, and if he said something nice, he would fool the maid.

Unexpectedly, Xueyan sneered: "Don't bother, Mr. Lai just came here, I'm afraid he didn't know, this old man in charge kept saying that my girl is "a broken household who came to fight the autumn wind", he even dared to make arrangements for my girl, let alone me. What about this little girl. Since my girl is involved in this matter, it's not up to me as a girl to make the decision, and I have to ask someone who can manage things in this house to seek justice for my girl."

Hearing this, Lai Da's eyes turned cold, and he looked at Qian Hua: "Did you really say that?"

Qian Hua hesitated and couldn't speak, but he wanted to deny it, but many people nearby heard it, and those people were not his subordinates, and they would not cover up for him.

Seeing Qian Hua's expression, what else does Lai Da not understand?Unexpectedly, this Qian Hua usually looks very shrewd, why did he make such a big mistake today?If it's just a few nasty words to the servants of the Lin family, that's fine, but if the words offend Miss Lin, according to the way the old lady loves Miss Lin, this kid is going to be in trouble this time!

After all, it's a place that has been on the job for many years, and Lai Da still wants to make money for Qian Hua.

Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, Xue Yan preempted him and said: "Mr. Lai, don't worry, my girl has always understood the rules the most, but now she is just a relative living in the house, so it is natural not to express any dissatisfaction with the slaves in the house. Even if I am wronged, what can I do? Besides, I don't want these nonsense things to stain my girl's ears. Let's end today's affairs, Xueyan still has an errand to return, so I will leave first!"

After finishing speaking, he left without looking back. Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to call the huddled flower seller.

Fortunately, people like Qian Hua really wanted these chrysanthemums, so they didn't hurt the chrysanthemums just now.

The pot that Xue Yan seemingly casually threw on Qian Hua just now was enough for her to bleed out of her heart. If a few more pots were damaged, it would probably be so painful that she would vomit blood.

When she got back to the car, Li's mother was very puzzled and asked: "You made such a big fight, and you even dropped a pot of flowers, so you just gently peeled it off?"

Xueyan pursed her lips and sighed: "Mom also said that I smashed Qianhua with a flower pot, and a piece of debris with dirt hit his feet. I guess he was seriously injured. If this matter breaks again, It's not a good thing for our girls to pull it off, so let's just do it."

He answered like this on the lips, but what he thought in his heart was that if he, as the servant girl of the Lin family, pressed her every step of the way, it would make others think that she was aggressive, and it would not be good for Daiyu's image.It's better to take a step back and compromise on the surface.Actually?There are struggles everywhere, Xueyan doesn't believe that Qian Hua's seat is so secure, and even if such a big incident happened, even if Lai Da is willing to protect him, others may not all be on his side.Xueyan concluded that sooner or later, this matter would come to Jia's mother, and naturally there would be no good fruit for this man!

Xueyan told Mother Li and Ji Liang: "This is not something glorious, especially if the girl heard those gossips, she must be very sad, it's better not to let the girl know."

Both of them agreed, but fortunately, they just argued with someone and didn't make a move, so there was nothing unusual about them.

At the corner gate at the back, Xueyan took some copper coins and asked some rough envoys and young men to help move the chrysanthemums in.He gave the rest of the money to the flower seller and told him to go back.

When the flower seller was stopped by Qian Hua and others just now, he thought that the money was nowhere to be found. He didn't expect that the little girl in front of him looked at Wen Wen quietly, and moved the flower pot as soon as she said it was moving, which was quite aggressive.In any case, it is a good thing to get money.With today's money, their family can not only have a good festival but also a good year.

The uncle took the money and left with a thousand thanks, and Xueyan just got a haircut and went back to Zhuquanyuan.

The chrysanthemums have all been moved here, Daiyu is showing the little maids to see what is new, and even Liumao and Zhengmao are joining in the fun.

Seeing her come in, Daiyu smiled and said, "I was just saying, it's almost mid-autumn, and two pots of chrysanthemums should be placed in the yard. I also think it's not good to mobilize people for a few pots of flowers. I didn't expect you to bring them with you when you go out." Coming back after so much, it seems that our master and servant really have a good understanding."

Cui Liu on the side echoed: "That's not true, sister Xueyan has always been a roundworm in a girl's stomach, she can tell what you are thinking in a blink of an eye."

Everyone else laughed when they heard this, but Zijuan's eyes flashed a little uncomfortable, although Miss Lin treated her well and trusted her very much.But these little girls around Ms. Lin respected Xueyan in everything. Xueyan was not around, and they would rather go to Madam Zheng than themselves if they had something to do.

The rules of the Lin family are different from those of the Jia family. There is no example of the elder maid keeping the monthly rules and things for the younger maid.Since I didn't handle their things, they naturally weren't so afraid of me.I don't know what this snow goose can do to make these people listen to her like that?

All of this was intentional by Xue Yan and Zheng Nao. The girl can have maids sent by the Jia family by her side, but no matter what she does, she can't win over everyone from the Lin family. Unclear bottom line.

Daiyu looked at it for a while, and praised: "The red flowers that wait for leisure are always a bit vulgar. Look at these two pots of black chrysanthemums. The petals are like silk, the color is like ink, the atmosphere is still charming, it is really not vulgar. However, I My favorite is these two pots of green chrysanthemums, the color is crystal clear, and the flower shape is free and easy. What kind of species are these?"

Xueyan smiled and said, "The flower seller called it Lvyun, and it is considered the top grade of chrysanthemums."

Daiyu nodded: "Green chrysanthemums are always rare. I remember seeing a green peony once at home. The color is as green as jade. My father saw that I liked it and gave it to me. It's a pity that I survived the cold winter but not the cold spring." , I have never seen such an exquisite flower in the future. Although the green cloud here today does not have the grace of a green peony, it does have a special charm."

Xueyan smiled and said: "If the girl really likes the green peony, let's look for it later."

Daiyu waved her hand: "Like what I said, it's just a few pots of flowers. It doesn't matter if you have it or not. It's not worth mobilizing people. If it's like you, it's fine. If you want to find it, it will be a waste of manpower and money. , why bother?"

After looking at it for a while, he said: "There are so many, we can't fit them in the room. If I take a few pots out and give them away, will you be unhappy?"

Xueyan smiled "puchi": "Look at what the girl said, this flower has been given to you, you can do whatever you want, and you still have to ask?"

Daiyu glanced at her and said, "I'll take these two pots of black chrysanthemums to honor the old lady in a while, the two pots with gold rims will be given to my first aunt, and the two pots of yellow ones will be given to my second aunt. If it doesn't work out, just stay in our yard."

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of chatter and laughter at the gate of the yard: "I heard that my sister has very bright chrysanthemums here. I don't know if I have the good fortune to take a look."

As soon as I heard the movement, I knew it was Wang Xifeng.

Thinking of the other party's identity as a family manager, Xue Yan frowned, this person could not be here for Qian Hua, right?If she was with Daiyu for a slave

Break it off, what should I do?

At this time, Daiyu had already brought people up to welcome her: "Sure enough, nothing in this mansion can be hidden from Lian's second sister-in-law. Just as the front foot of the flower moved here, the back foot sister-in-law arrived. Could it be that she is here to beat the autumn wind?"

Wang Xifeng glanced at the chrysanthemums: "You only have a few pots of chrysanthemums here, and they are not enough for my teeth, so I might as well not have them." She saw that Daiyu's expression was normal, and even Madam Zheng was fine. , I was relieved.She glanced at Xueyan unobtrusively, thinking that this little girl's temper is still stable, and she didn't tell Daiyu about it.

If it weren't for this cousin's temperament, I'm afraid she would have gone to the old lady to cry and complain!Alas, this Qian Hua's work is really outrageous. My aunt asked him to find two pots of chrysanthemums to decorate the flower hall in order to entertain Aunt Xue's family at night.Anyway, I'm not an outsider, with or without chrysanthemums, others are fine.This kid would save trouble, he actually wanted to pick up ready-made ones, and even picked them up on his own relatives!

Originally, the old lady was not very enthusiastic about the arrival of Aunt Xue's family. If this matter broke out again, she might be angry and furious. It's a big festival, isn't it because she is uncomfortable?

Wang Xifeng chatted with Daiyu for a while, and heard that she wanted to pay her respects to Mother Jia, and she wanted to send two pots of flowers along the way.He hurriedly laughed and said: "Since my sister has such thoughts, let my sister-in-law and I, Zhanguang, go with me. The old lady will be happy, and when the time comes, we will get the reward and we will share it equally. What does my sister think?"

Daiyu said with a smile: "What a grandma Lian, not to mention borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, she even thinks about the old lady's reward. It's really a good plan!"

Wang Xifeng replied with a smile: "I am not as big as my sister's family, so I can only try to trick a little more." Everyone laughed

stand up.

Xueyan also covered her mouth and smiled, so most people who are good at self-deprecating will adjust the atmosphere.Then she suddenly raised her head, but met Wang Xifeng's eyes with unknown meaning.
