The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

watch out

After hearing this, Mother Jia frowned and said: "These slaves are used to relying on their elders to sell their elders. They must think that their son-in-law is not in Beijing, so they dare to be so presumptuous! How can a slave question his master? Such things, scolding him are all light Yes, if it were me, I would have to give him dozens of boards to improve his memory."

"What the old lady said is that the daughter-in-law would also like to beat him up. It's just that she is the steward sent by the brother-in-law. It always depends on the brother-in-law. I have already asked the master to write to tell the brother-in-law about it. Said, in terms of character alone, we can't rest assured that such a person is placed next to Sister Yu, and we have to ask my brother-in-law to get a charter early." Mrs. Xing said.

Mother Jia nodded approvingly: "That's how it should be." She thought to herself that this old man has become more and more generous in his behavior since the separation of the family.

After asking about it, Mother Jia didn't mention it again.Later, Mrs. Wang somehow found out about this, and ran to Mother Jia to apply eye drops and said, "It stands to reason that I, as younger siblings, shouldn't criticize my sister-in-law's actions, but my sister-in-law copied the servant's private house earlier. Now And blatantly supporting the niece, and ignoring the housekeeper's private house, it is not appropriate to do so. If it is spread, I am afraid that the reputation of the niece will not be good."

Now is the time to ask for peace, Daiyu and Sanchun are both here, because Zhumei and Danfeng are not in the mansion, so Xueyan comes to Jiamu's yard more often.After hearing this, she thought to herself: This Wang family has come out again.

"What does it mean to have a bad reputation with Yu'er? Could it be that everyone in our family can talk about everything without closing their mouths?" Jia Mu snapped, then looked around the room, and said: "This Didn't I tell you not to spread the matter? Who spread it to the second wife?

Stand up by yourself, if I find out, I want her to look good! "

The maids and women in the room were too frightened to say anything, only Tanchun lowered his head a little guilty.

Seeing that no one made a sound, Jia Mu told Yuanyang: "I leave this matter to you, so I can find out for me." Yuanyang hurriedly bowed in response.

Seeing that Jia's mother was angry, Mrs. Wang hurriedly explained: "The daughter-in-law is also thinking about the niece, and there is no other meaning."

"Then thank you for your trouble. Yu'er lives here. I don't see you remembering anything delicious and fun on weekdays. Whenever there is something messy, you will be in a hurry. This matter It's up to your sister-in-law to learn, the servants bully the girl when she is young and thin-skinned, you aunts should protect her and treat her more, otherwise those dog slaves will not take Yu'er even more seriously in the future."

Being scolded in front of so many people, Mrs. Wang's face flushed with embarrassment.

This scene happened to be seen by Xueyan, although she felt that she was to blame for the rebuke of Wang, but she even had a grandson, and she would be scolded by her mother-in-law every now and then, which was a bit unbearable for her.

Mother Jia also looked at her lazily. Could it be that she still has to look at her daughter-in-law's face at such an old age?The old man took a sip of tea and said again: "Okay, it's the New Year's Day, I'm too lazy to find it, so you should count yourself. It's just that the year is approaching, and there are more people coming and going here. It's too noisy for the sisters to live here."

As soon as these words came out, Tanchun was the first to change her face. She had heard that her good aunt had already reduced the monthly fee there in the name of reducing expenses. It is said that now even almost the clothes and shoes have to be made by themselves,

Unfortunately, Jia Zheng never cared about internal affairs, and Aunt Zhao had no choice.He also told her to be nice to the old lady, and not to be sent back to the second bedroom, otherwise half of the current expenses would not be worth it.

But now the old lady said this...

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Why did the old lady suddenly have such an idea? The back room where the sisters used to live has now been converted into a warehouse, and they can't move back. There is no suitable place for a while.

Just as Tanchun was wringing her fingers nervously, Mother Jia finally said, "Didn't you two move to the west courtyard? Let the three sisters live in your original courtyard."

Before Wang Xifeng could answer, Mrs. Xing hurriedly said: "Of course the old lady's intentions are good, but their original room was a bit too narrow, otherwise I can't rush them to move the yard. Their sisters are getting married every day. When I grow up, it is inevitable that I will have a place to write and read. In my opinion, it is better to move Ying'er to the west side of my yard, and Tanchun and Xichun to live in Sister Feng's room. I can live in a spacious place, and I can take care of one or two when I find time."

Hearing this, Mother Jia nodded: "You are thoughtful, so let's do this."

Tanchun finally breathed a sigh of relief, not having to go back to the second room, it's great.

At the order of Jiamu, Sanchun changed places the next day.

In this way, Xueyan first breathed a sigh of relief. Every time she met Tanchun at Jiamu's place, she always looked at herself with a somewhat unfriendly look, which made her

There is something in my heart.Now it's finally far away.

Just before the Chinese New Year, Madam Zheng returned with Zhu Mei and others. In just a few days, not only Zhu Mei and the others lost a lot of weight, but Madam Zheng also became a bit haggard.Daiyu asked Xueyan to stew a lot of tonics for the old man to recuperate her body. It wasn't until after the Lantern Festival that her face looked ruddy.Xueyan made a little extra when stewing tonics, Ji Liang was nothing to worry about when he was half a child, but she was afraid that if Zhu Mei didn't take good care of her at this age, the root cause of the disease would easily affect her fertility in the future.But in this era, heirs are often valued more than daughters-in-law!So every time she set aside an extra half bowl of supplements for Zhu Mei to drink quietly, slowly helping her maintain her health.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first month of the month. Because of her filial piety, Daiyu didn't go to see Jia Mu until the fifteenth day, for fear of offending the guests.It made the servant girls like Xueyan a lot easier, and with the fact that they couldn't do needlework in the first month, a group of people would grow hair if they had nothing to do all day long.

When the first month came out, Daiyu, under the guidance of Madam Zheng, discussed with Mother Jia that she would go back to the Lin family's old house for a period of time so that she could celebrate Jia Min's anniversary.

"The anniversary ceremony is the same here. Why do you have to go to the old house? There are no adults watching over there, so I don't worry about you going back by yourself." Mother Jia refused immediately.

Daiyu talked nonsense, and Mrs. Xing offered to go to the Lin residence to accompany Daiyu, so Jia Mu finally nodded her head.

After packing up his things and going back to the old house, Ji Cheng and his servants greeted Daiyu and his party at the gate, Xueyan got off the carriage and secretly looked at Ji Cheng's expression.Seeing that he didn't show any disrespect or strangeness to Mrs. Xing or Daiyu, Xueyan felt even more uneasy. Such a tolerant person is even more difficult to provoke, and she should be careful in the future!
