The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

Do not press down

Not only Cui Liu, but even Dai Yu looked at her with concern: "My aunt may be in a bad mood recently, if she blames you for something, don't take it personally."

Uh, if Mrs. Xing knew that she was like a Yasha goddess in the hearts of everyone in Jia's mansion, how would she feel?

Thinking of the stuffed purse, Xueyan hurriedly smiled and said: "It's nothing, you all think too much. It's all right, why does the eldest lady bother me?"

"Then why did you come back so late?" Cui Liu next to her obviously didn't believe her, she pouted and asked.

Xueyan smiled and untied the purse at her waist: "I helped the eldest wife write down some things. The eldest wife praised me for my good handwriting and remembered the accounts clearly. She also rewarded me with many good things."

Cui Liu was the first to grab the purse to look, and she took out a gilt ring, a pair of anemone earrings and a tourmaline bracelet from it.The color of the tourmaline is not very good, it is not very transparent, but the color is delicate and light pink, which is very suitable for a girl of Xueyan's age.

Unceremoniously put it on her wrist, but Cui Liu sadly found that her not-so-white wrist was darkened by the pink color, so she decisively rolled it off and put it on Xueyan.But with sharp eyes, he found that there was already a green jadeite bracelet on Xueyan's wrist, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "Don't say that this bracelet was also given by the eldest wife."

She and Xueyan have always been on good terms, and she almost knows all the precious jewelry that Xueyan has. She didn't remember that she had such emerald jewelry before.

Xueyan laughed: "Why can't it be rewarded by the eldest wife? It's not uncommon for you to know that villain in this house, who usually calls white things black. Not to mention that the eldest wife rewarded me generously today, In other words, on weekdays, she has always been good to our girls."

"That's true. When the girl first came, the eldest wife prepared a valuable gift, but the second wife who has always been praised by others didn't take anything, and the second master..." Cui Liu didn't say anything. After finishing, she was stopped by Xueyan with her eyes. She rolled her eyes secretly when she saw someone's figure: "If I had known that the eldest lady is so generous, I would have changed jobs with my sister." They also got a lot of money by giving away things, but compared to what Xueyan got, it was really incomparable.

Unexpectedly, Daiyu from the back room suddenly interjected: "Cui Liu, even if you exchange jobs with Xue Yan, you won't get such a generous reward."

"Why?" Cui Liu was a little unconvinced.

Daiyu smiled slightly: "Because you know few characters and your handwriting is not good-looking, even if my aunt is short of people, she will not look down on your dog-like characters."

What Cui Liu said was speechless, and she stomped her feet a little bit aggrieved: "Girl, I don't want you to expose the shortcoming like this."

Daiyu ignored her, and said to Xueyan: "Is there any happy event for the eldest aunt?"

Xueyan thought that those things were not considered private, when she was recording, many maids and women were watching her coming and going.Even Wang Xifeng asked Ping'er to take Qiaojie to pay Mrs. Xing's greetings, but Xueyan didn't believe that her purpose was just to pay her respects.

Thinking of this, Xueyan smiled and said: "Isn't it? Didn't the old man copy several servants? A lot of gold and silver treasures were copied from their homes. Today, the cash and silver I wrote down are worth seven or eight thousand , the value of other jewelry items is not small. The old man gave all the things to the old lady for safekeeping, which must be the reason why the old lady is very happy." She roughly estimated that the jewelry might be worth 1 yuan There is a lot of silver, and there are many jewelry, jade, calligraphy and painting ornaments of inestimable value.For some reason, she subconsciously covered up for Mrs. Xing.

After hearing this, Daiyu understood: "It's no wonder that the eldest aunt is so generous today, and it's also a coincidence that you caught up with me."

"That's right, this servant also thinks that I'm just in time to catch up today." Xue Yan said with a smile, but she knew in her heart that Mrs. Xing was so generous this time that she meant to gag her. After all, she saw Mrs. Xing from several Several silver notes were found in the interlayer of the jewelry box.Although I don't know the specific price of those banknotes, but judging from the other party's expression, it should be worth a lot.

Because of this incident, Xueyan became more determined that the other party was not the original Mrs. Xing. As for whether she was time-traveled or reborn, it is unknown.However, even if the other party is a real time traveler, Xue Yan has no plans to come forward to recognize him. Who knows who the other party is, what if he kills himself to silence him?

Therefore, she no longer wants to find out about the other party's background. Judging from the current situation, this person is more transparent than the original Mrs. Xing, and he can actually coax that old ghost Jia She into giving her his private house for safekeeping. , It is not a simple character to think about it.With my little knowledge, it's better not to provoke others.

In the evening, after returning to her own room, Xueyan locked all the things she got today into the cabinet.Filled up the frequently used brush washer with water, then took off the bracelet on his hand and threw it inside.

When making the booklet, she just boasted that the bracelet was beautiful, and Mrs. Xing just glanced at it and put it on her hand very generously.Fortunately, the ring of this bracelet is small, and Xueyan's wrist is suitable for wearing it now, and it is estimated that she will not be able to wear it in two years.

It seems that jadeite is not very popular in this era. In the eyes of Xueyan, the water planted in this jadeite bracelet should almost have ice seeds.The base is a very clean and refreshing white base, with a little sun-green floating flowers, the floating flowers are only the size of a peanut, but the color is very dark green.So the whole bracelet is quite conspicuous when worn on the hand.

However, from the perspective of people here, such jadeite bracelets are not considered as precious jewelry, and their favorability is far worse than that of Hetian jade.

Xueyan really likes jade, this bracelet can almost cover the down payment of her house in her previous life, she is reluctant to buy it.Now that I got one for nothing, I am naturally very happy.It's just that she always feels that this bracelet has traces of someone else wearing it, and she feels a little awkward.If Mrs. Xing hadn't put it on her hand this afternoon, she definitely wouldn't have just put it on like this.So Xueyan decided to soak it in clean water for a few days, which can not only wash away impurities, but also wash away the smell of others.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Xue Yan always felt that the bracelet became more translucent after soaking for a few days, and this time she could finally wear it on her hand with peace of mind.Every time she sees the thick green floating flowers, Xue Yan feels happy in her heart.

After this incident, Xueyan's belief in improving her embroidery skills and calligraphy has been further strengthened.What the old man said is right, "a lot of art doesn't overwhelm you", if you know more things, you may use them someday.

No, within a few days, Mrs. Xing sent a little maid to look for her again.
