The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

Far worse!

Daiyu couldn't care less about eating white fungus soup, she opened her eyes wide and asked, "What's the matter? It's all right, why does uncle want to separate?"

Cui Liu said: "The servant girl is not too clear, I heard it from the woman in the old lady's yard. It seems that because of the matter of the Xue family, the two masters in the palace reprimanded the two masters, and even scolded the elder master for managing the family. If it is not strict, it will reduce the yearly service of the Grand Master."

"What? There is such a thing!" Daiyu exclaimed.

It seems that the Xue family kicked the iron plate by themselves this time, and even the Jia family was also affected.

However, Jia Amnesty was able to come up with the idea of ​​​​separating the family when he turned around, and it seemed that it was not a good thing.I just don't know if he can do what he wants this time?

Xueyan secretly hoped that Jia Amnesty would be able to separate the family as he wished. After all, although the Xing family was a bit stingy, they really loved Daiyu, at least they were much better than the Wang family.If the families were separated, the main house of the Jia family would naturally be shared with Jia She. The Xing family is easier to talk to than the Wang family.However, Xue Yan had a vague premonition in her heart that Jia Amnesty's wish to separate the family might not come true.

Hearing this news, Daiyu couldn't help but feel a little restless, but Jia Mu's room is full of elders arguing now, and she, a junior, can't get involved rashly.

Seeing that she was worried, Xueyan comforted her: "Girl, it's not easy to get involved in the meeting. If you are really uneasy, you might as well read the meeting book first. I'll find

How about going to the old lady's yard to watch, and come over to tell you as soon as there is news? "

Daiyu had no good idea, so she just nodded.

When it was almost dark, finally there was news.To Xueyan's surprise, Jia Amnesty was able to complete this matter.Although it's just a division of production and not a family, it's still a division, right?According to the usual practice, the largest Zhuangzi shop and ancestral house in Gongzhong must belong to Xijue Jiashe.As for Jia's mother's private room, she didn't mention a word, and Jia Amnesty didn't care about it.

However, Mother Jia said, seeing that the day after tomorrow will be Zhongqiu, the separation of the family will not be discussed until after this Zhongqiu is over.Jia Amnesty didn't press any further, and went back to his yard satisfied with the signed documents.

When he walked near Rongxi Hall, he sneered at the corner of his mouth, and soon, this was his territory!

After a while, a woman from Jiamu's yard came over and said, "The old lady is a little unwell today, please don't go over to pay her respects, Miss Lin."

In the evening, Daiyu was so worried that she couldn't even eat, and Zijuan tried to persuade her to no avail.

Xueyan thought for a while and said: "The servant girl knows that the girl is worried about the old lady, but regardless of whether the house is divided or not, the old lady's status is there, who dares to be disrespectful to her old lady? The servant girl knows that you are A piece of filial piety, but if you don’t eat or drink and break your body because of this matter, wouldn’t it make the old lady worry even more? Didn’t you say that you wanted to wipe the old lady’s forehead? Let's choose the pattern first, and the maid will make a rough outline, and you can add two stitches tomorrow."

The young lady doesn't live by needlework, she just does what she can see on the surface.What's more, with such an older child, who would expect her to be really complete?

Do an embroidery job?Let the master do it all. Aren't these servant girls going to lose their jobs?The left is just that what they have done is almost done, and Daiyu will add a few more stitches.However, Daiyu's handicraft has a kind of natural aura, which she can't even envy.

Daiyu hesitated: "Is it too late?"

Xueyan shook her head: "One piece is just for wiping your forehead, hold your hands tightly, it will be finished in one or two hours, and the servant girl will get up early tomorrow, so I'm sure it won't delay the girl to pay her respects to the old lady."

Because it is going to be mid-autumn, I chose golden twine chrysanthemums for the pattern, paired with dark green branches and leaves, and used navy blue brocade as the background, which is dignified and dignified.Daiyu deliberately found a piece of Hetian jasper the size of a fingernail from her dowry, and let Xueyan put it on her forehead.

Xueyan saw that the jasper was green and smooth, and its tentacles were warm and moist, which was considered a good thing in Daiyu's dowry.Although I feel sorry for her, but thinking that Jiamu dotes on Daiyu on weekdays, and gave her good things in private, she didn't say much.

Daiyu was busy discussing with Xueyan how to match the color, how to cut it, and what color fabric to use for the border. In the end, she felt that the green jasper did not match the background color, so she changed to a piece of beeswax... Seeing Xueyan embroidered a few stitches, she felt itchy , took the material to embroider a few stitches, Xueyan took the opportunity to teach her a few stitches, Daiyu was busy digesting these things, and finally had no time to hurt the spring and the autumn.

The next day, Daiyu took the forehead wipe that Xueyan had stayed up all night to pay her respects to Mother Jia.

Sanchun had come over a long time ago, but seeing that Jia's mother was not in high spirits, she sat there muttering and dared not speak.

After Daiyu came in, she pretended to be ignorant of what happened yesterday, and smiled and sent over the forehead wipe she made: "Old lady, tomorrow

It's Zhongqiu, I made you a new forehead wipe, you must wear it tomorrow! "

Jia Mu first boasted: "This chrysanthemum is really well embroidered and suitable for the occasion." Then she happily asked Daiyu to change it for herself.The old lady's eyes are so poisonous, when she saw the beeswax, she knew it was a good thing from Daiyu's bottom of the box.I thought to myself that my Yu'er was the most filial, unlike the unfilial son who just wanted to get out of me.

Thinking of what happened in the past few days, Mother Jia couldn't help feeling sad in her old age.She is old now, and the people below have also learned how to obey others, and the second child's family usually looks at eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha with a benevolent look, but they did not expect to use the banner of the mansion to release loan sharks outside the house, and even interfered with her. It's really audacious to go to other people's lawsuits!If it wasn't for the sake of her giving birth to Baoyu, I would have asked my second child to divorce her!

And that boss, who usually only seems to be obsessed with women, but secretly took advantage of the second room, and this time he broke up with the Xue family, so he didn't hit him in the face?On weekdays, he only thinks that he doesn't let them be in charge of the family, and he doesn't see if his daughter-in-law is the material who can take charge of the middle class!

Alas, they are all evil obstacles cultivated in previous lives!

If Xueyan were to comment, she could only say, isn't all this the bitter fruit you brewed yourself, old lady?No matter how bad Jia Amnesty was, he would still be the eldest son of Xijue. Even if he lost his original spouse, it would be no problem to find a descendant or concubine of a similar family.It's you who favors the second child, marrying a daughter-in-law from a small family, and carrying the second daughter-in-law for everything, but when you turn around, you think she has shallow eyes. This is a bit too unreasonable!

It's no wonder that Jia She felt wronged, and later made up that eccentric joke to satirize his own mother.

Seeing that Mother Jia's expression became more and more gloomy, Daiyu winked at Tanchun and the others, who chattered about things in the school and successfully diverted Mother Jia's attention.

Forget it, what's the use of thinking more?Since you want to divide it, let's divide it. I am just an old woman, and it is enough to have these girls in front of me for fun, and let them toss about the rest.It's just that my precious jade must not be wronged.

By the way, where is Baoyu?

Then Jia Mu remembered, why hasn't Baoyu been seen for a long time?

When she asked, the maid next to her replied: "Second Master Bao heard that Miss Xue's family was ill last night. He got up in the morning and washed his face in a hurry before going to visit Miss Xue."

Hmph, it's the Xue family again!If it wasn't for the Xue family's incompetence, how could they have caused their family to be reprimanded by the palace?At this moment, he is still using the name of being sick to win Baoyu to his side, without looking at his identity!What a toad wants to eat swan meat.

Xueyan didn't follow Daiyu to Jiamu's room, so she could guess about the undercurrent over there without even thinking about it.

The news that Ji Liang was asked to help Nanny Liu had some clues. Ji Liang originally wanted to entrust her with a message for Nanny Liu, but Xueyan brought him directly to Nanny Liu.Maybe it's about Mammy Liu's privacy, so it's better not to know.

Although Nanny Liu felt that there was nothing to hide about what she had inquired about, she knew how to avoid suspicion when she saw Xueyan, and liked her self-knowledge.I remember that when she first entered the palace, her master had warned her that no matter where she worked, talent and intelligence were never the first priority.

It is the most important thing to know your identity at all times.

This snow goose has a talent for learning without a teacher.

The Jia family didn't know who they found as a middleman to help make peace, but Prince Rui's son finally "magnanimously" forgave the Xue family.However, Xue's family also suffered a lot of bleeding, because of this incident, they paid [-] to [-] silver.

Seeing the rapidly depleting family wealth, Aunt Xue's heart ached.

And Xue Pan was also quite frightened this time, the day the eunuch of Prince Rui's Mansion came to him, he took Xue Pan back to the private prison of the Palace.He was locked up for three days and two nights, and he was beaten up when he entered. He was only given a bowl of porridge every day to ensure that he would not die of hunger.As for arresting people privately without passing the government, is it a violation of court regulations?Hehe, if you have the ability, you can ask the emperor!

This kind of thing is Xue Pan's fault, anyway, no one was killed, who would try to make trouble with the royal family and help the Xue family get ahead?Even the imperial censor, who has always been keen to see what happens, pretends not to know.

Because of this incident, the Jia family is about to split up, and this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet also has a more dignified atmosphere.

Originally thought that after this incident, Xue's family should be embarrassed to live in Jia's house.As a result, the family not only lived down-to-earth, but also attended the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet in Jia's mansion with the whole family.

Rich families pay attention to face and ostentation, even if they are so disgusted that they can't eat, this kind of occasion still has to be full of flowers and lively.The banquet was held in Jia Mu's yard, and this time the snow geese followed.Even if something happened in the mansion, Jia's ostentation was not lost.

This month, the servants are still sending out half-monthly monthly cases and a new set of clothes.Of course, like girls not only have new clothes, but also new looks.

Because it was a family banquet, the male and female seats were only separated by a screen.Looking at Aunt Xue who was talking and laughing at Yan Yan and Xue Baochai who was nonchalant during the banquet, Xue Yan had to admire each other's thick skin and deep city, and she couldn't help complaining in her heart: Girl, your skills are far worse than that!
