The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

Are you pretending to be stupid?

Xue Yan heard the dislike in Lin Ruhai's tone, so she still bit the bullet and replied: "The servant girl is a maidservant, what can't she do? It's just that a girl is a daughter of gold, but she can't ignore her decency. Our house is She is from a scholarly family and never pays much attention to pomp and pomp, and the girl is the only lady, no matter how restrained she is, she is naturally not disrespectful from top to bottom. But the servants heard that the servants in the mansion have all grown up. Double rich eyes, if the girl is too low-key, it is easy to be edited by those who don't have long eyes."

Although Lin Ruhai felt that she was fussing a bit, she felt that she was thinking about her daughter, so she said in a deep voice, "You are not old, but you think a lot, you just take care of your girl and don't care about others. "

After finishing speaking, he took the boy away and left his daughter's yard. Lin Ruhai couldn't help asking Zaiming: "Why, could it be that the servants of Jia's family are not easy to get along with?" The servants of the family only said this when they were wronged, and they never thought that this little girl's background was very strange.

In Ming's heart, he slandered: Not only is it difficult to get along with, but it's like judging people with their nostrils!However, those natal families who were wives did not dare to say so clearly, but replied embarrassingly: "After all, they are servants of the Duke's Mansion, and those who are well-informed are naturally much better than those who come from the countryside like servants. "

After listening to Zaiming's words, Lin Ruhai was thoughtful. It seems that there must be some problems with the Jia family, or one or two of them would not have this expression.Thinking of the news that his wife had passed away, the news had already been sent to the capital, but the people from the Jia family didn't come until after his wife celebrated May [-]th, and only some servants came, not even a junior came to express their condolences.

Originally, Lin Ruhai didn't want to think badly about Yue's family, but I have to say that Xue Yan's words played a role in the end.Lin Ruhai was able to pass the Tanhua exam at a young age, and later gradually became the emperor's confidant, and was assigned to the important position of inspecting salt censors, so he naturally had a certain amount of scheming.

For some things, others only need to click lightly, and the rest is naturally farther than others think.

So Lin Ruhai temporarily stabilized the servants of the Jia family on the grounds that "a hundred days of filial piety have not passed, and the little girl should not go out". While making people entertain them, he also sent people to secretly monitor these people.

When these people first came to the Lin family, they still put on a show. After a long time, they gradually revealed their nature of stealing, cheating, gambling and drinking. Although they all avoided the Lin family, how could they really avoid the surveillance of those who cared.Lin Ruhai couldn't help being startled after secretly investigating, if there were only one or two who behaved like this, it could be said that the nature of the servants was not good, but all men, women and children behaved like this, it can only be said that the family style of Jia's family is not right!Even the servants are not good at training, so the old lady in the mansion can really teach her daughter well?

After he received a few letters from the old man in the capital, he was even more shocked: he never thought that the Jia family would degenerate to such an extent not long after his father-in-law left!The men don't think about making progress all day long and only know how to live and dream to die, and the women's family members are not good at raising children, and they patronize fighting for power and profit, not to mention giving us usury!That Wang family thought he was doing a cover-up, but he didn't know that someone with a heart had already noticed it.It's really ignorant and fearless. Such a thing violates the law of the court, and it is easy to have retribution from the underworld.Thinking of Jia Zhu who died young, didn't Wang think about why the eldest son died young?

And that Baoyu even came up with the title of "born with jade", and your family doesn't have a throne to inherit, did you create these visions to usurp the throne or something?

Faced with these chaos, Lin Ruhai didn't want to send his daughter to Yue's house at all.But thinking of the complicated cause of his wife's death, he sighed again: Even if the Jia family's money is empty, there is still the name of the Duke's Mansion.

It is not necessarily a good thing that both the DPRK and China have no real power.

After careful consideration, Lin Ruhai still decided to send her daughter to Yue's house for the time being.I have made too many enemies here, and it is not safe for my daughter to follow me.No matter how chaotic the Jia family is, the daughter's personal safety is still guaranteed there.

It's just that other things still need to be discussed in the long run.

Xueyan didn't know what kind of consequences her words had caused at this time, she thought that Lin Ruhai didn't take her words to heart at all.After Lin Ruhai left, she carried the tray into the room, and saw Daiyu leaning on the railing beside the bed, dazed in a daze.Even though she is used to the picturesque eyebrows of real people, Xueyan is still always intoxicated by her celestial beauty.She put down the tray lightly, and said with a smile, "Young lady didn't eat anything in the morning, come and have some porridge."

While talking, he scooped a bowl out of a small bowl and handed it to Daiyu, then smiled and said, "Miss, I don't know. Just now, my servant met the master outside, and he praised me for serving me with all my heart, and rewarded my servant with two golden scorpions. Miss." Anyway, eat two bites, and save the servants from taking the gold and feel burnt."

Daiyu didn't want to eat it at first, but hearing what she said was funny, she smelled the strong rice fragrance mixed with sweetness on the tip of her nose, and saw the red and white rice porridge in the blue and white porcelain bowl, so she reached out to take the spoon and drank it.

When the eldest maid Jin Luo came in, there was only a bottom left in the bowl of porridge, and she gave Xue Yan a thumbs up with a smile.She walked up to Daiyu with a booklet and replied: "Girl, the maidservant has tidied up all the things my wife left for you. Please see if there is anything you want to take out and put it on display. If not, the maidservant will collect it for you." Go to the warehouse."

Hearing this, Daiyu put down the spoon in her hand, and waved her hand sullenly: "Don't rush to put it away, just put it in the East Room."

Xueyan winked at Jinluo, Jinluo understood, and helped Xueyan put away the bowl and spoon.When the two went out of the house, Xueyan told about Lin Ruhai's coming, and Jin Luo sighed: "It seems that the girl must go to the Rongguo Mansion, but I don't know what the rules are for us?"

"My sister is engaged. I think I will follow to the capital. I must follow. I just don't know what to do with Qing Yuan and the others?" Xueyan asked tentatively. Jin Luo's parents are both Lin Ruhai's confidantes , she may know what the inside story is not necessarily.

Jin Luo whispered: "You don't know yet, Qingyuan's old lady wanted to get rid of her daughter's citizenship, so the master was so angry that she just released her whole family and gave 100 taels of silver to Anjia fee."

Xueyan opened her eyes wide: "Let's go out? Isn't this a grace for them?" After getting out, she will no longer be a slave but a free body who can be the master of her own house. How good it is!

Unexpectedly, Jin Luo sneered and said: "Grace? It's just a nice way to say it. Qingyuan's parents bought it from Ren Yazi at the beginning. They don't know where their hometown is or who they are. Leaving the Lin family is like losing their roots." Duckweed, anyone can step on it. After two years of good life, I don't know my last name, and I want to challenge my master, just watch, sometimes they cry."

Xue Yan stuck out her tongue after hearing this, it seems that she really took it for granted.But yes, in the original book, the sons are all officials, and Lai and his wife are still working as errands in Jia's family. This is because they can make money on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is because they are backed by a big tree so they can enjoy the shade!

Xueyan cleaned up the small kitchen, and when she came back, she saw Daiyu crying looking at the things Jia Min left behind in the east room.She sighed inwardly, and stepped forward to persuade her, "These things were carefully selected for the girl by my wife dragging her sick body before she left.

I thought about it, but if the girl is so sad and sad when she sees things back home, how can the wife's spirit in heaven be safe? "

Daiyu choked up and said, "Mother has already left, no matter what I do, she won't be able to see her."

Seeing her sad look, Xueyan's eyes also turned red. After all, she is only a child of six or seven years old, so she is sensible enough.She couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Daiyu: "My dear girl, my wife loved you the most during her lifetime, just because of the love my wife gave you every day, you should work hard to take care of your body. If the girl really misses your wife, Why don't you copy a Buddhist scripture carefully, and ask the master to enshrine it in front of the Buddha when your wife is a hundred days old, so as to pray for your wife."

She also suffered the blow of losing a loved one in her previous life, so she knows that this kind of thing cannot be solved with a few words of persuasion from others, especially Daiyu is still young and has just experienced the pain of losing her mother. It is normal to have fears and worries about traveling away from home.It's just that she was already weak after a serious illness, and if she was immersed in grief like this, she would definitely not be able to bear it.So Xueyan had an idea and thought of a way to divert Daiyu's attention.

Hearing Xueyan's words, Daiyu really became interested, and her tearful eyes were filled with brilliance: "You are right, I made a mistake. What's the use of crying like this all day long? Why don't you help me?" Good luck, mother, to copy scriptures and pray for blessings. Sister Xueyan, please bring me paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and I will start copying Buddhist scriptures right away."

Xue Yan responded with a smile: "Young lady wants to copy, and the servant will not stop you, but you must take care of your body, and you can't copy for too long a day, otherwise if you get tired, the master may pick up the servant." where's the skin?"

Daiyu nodded: "I wrote it down." As she said that, she was about to go to the desk to start copying the scriptures, but was stopped by Xueyan: "The slave girl knows that the girl wants to pray for the wife as soon as possible, but since she wants to copy, she must do it piously. One point, the first time I always have to burn incense and take a bath, and this copying of Buddhist scriptures

Different from what was written next to it, we also need to prepare a special booklet, which we don’t seem to have yet, so it’s good to have everything ready. "Before she crossed over, she copied Buddhist scriptures following the trend, and she bought a special copy of Buddhist scriptures, but she didn't know what the regulations were here, so she called Jin Luo over.

Although Jin Luo was surprised that Daiyu suddenly wanted to copy Buddhist scriptures, he was relieved to see her excited look.No matter what, as long as the girl no longer focuses on being sad like before, let alone copying Buddhist scriptures or imperial edicts, she will find a way to make it for the girl.

Thinking of this, Jin Luo glanced at Xueyan who was seriously discussing with Daiyu which Buddhist scriptures to copy, and thought that Xueyan looked a little dazed before. Standing up quickly, not only can take good care of the girl's body, but can also persuade the girl around the corner. In the past, I really underestimated her.

Jin Luo was glad that he had a bright future early in the morning, otherwise he might not be able to calmly watch Xueyan stand out in front of the girl.This girl has improved so fast, wasn't she just pretending to be stupid before?
