The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

heartless

But after Jia She returned to Jia's house, Xing saw that his face was not very good-looking, and asked with a smile: "Why did you come back with a sad face after going out? Could it be that the business of the restaurant is not good recently?"

Jia She sighed: "With you in the rear, our restaurant's business can still be bad? It's just that I feel sad when I see a good cabbage being raped by others. Well, guess who I saw?"

Xing sneered: "You have met many people outside all day, where should I guess? Could it be that you saw a beautiful young girl?"

Jia She said with a sigh: "I didn't see the pretty girl, but I did see the handsome guy. Do you still remember the elder brother of Daiyu we met at the Lin family last time, the one named Lin Ming?"

"Of course I remember. Don't you still want to recruit someone to be your son-in-law? What, you met him?" Mrs. Xing asked indifferently.

Jia She patted her thigh: "That's right, you failed to marry Yingchun Xiang a few days ago. Seeing her grow up day by day, thinking that she has called me father for a few years, can I not worry about her?" I think this kid is good, and I was looking for an opportunity to find out again, but today I happened to meet him taking a little girl to a restaurant for dinner. You will never guess who he took with him. "

Mrs. Xing didn't answer directly, but said indifferently: "When Daiyu came to say hello today, she mentioned that she asked Xueyan to go to her aunt's house to give a gift, and the old lady hadn't come back when she was serving dinner. I guess the little girl you mentioned must be Xueyan!"

Hearing her firm answer, Jia Amnesty was a little confused: "Do you all know about co-authoring?"

Mrs. Xing rolled her eyes: "Xueyan is Daiyu's maid after all, even if she really wants to marry Lin Ming in the future, then she has to think of a good reason to make it known to everyone. I'm just Just a guess, when I was at the Lin family, I looked at that kid looking at Xueyan in the wrong eyes. That time Xueyan went to the Lin family and fell ill when she came back, it must be because of that kid."

"So that's how it is." Jia Amnesty stroked the beard on his chin, and then asked her, "Then you don't care about it?"

Mrs. Xing said: "How can I manage this kind of thing? They are all at the age of first love. If they are two years older, maybe they have other thoughts and put them aside. Maybe the relationship will become stronger as time goes by. Everything depends on themselves However, in all fairness, Xueyan is more suitable for Lin Ming than Yingchun. Although Yingchun has improved a lot in the past two years, she has the kind of natural meekness. It's not okay to be a grandma in charge. It's better to marry someone who understands the rules and be the second daughter-in-law. She doesn't need to be a housekeeper. With her gentle and gentle temperament, she won't make enemies indiscriminately, and her children will grow up when the family is separated. Even if she can't stand up, she still has her children to rely on. In short, she is a temperament that enjoys happiness."

At this moment, the snow geese were feasting, and they didn't even know that the friendship between her and Lin Ming had already been spotted by many people.It's also fortunate that these people don't have any bad intentions, otherwise, her budding love affair might be killed.

Fortunately, Lin Ming also knew very well the strictness of secular etiquette, he always behaved properly after a meal, and would take care of Ji Liang and Xiao Tao from time to time, as if he really just wanted to express his gratitude.

After eating and drinking enough, Lin Ming gave Ji Liang money to pay the bill, but Tao Liang came back with more money: "Master, the shopkeeper said that his boss is an old friend of yours, so he invited you for this meal."

Lin Ming thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how he could have any relationship with this boss.I went to find the shopkeeper myself, for fear that someone might make a mistake, and after getting the affirmative answer from the shopkeeper, I was still a little confused.He wasn't just taking advantage of others, so he left behind two taels of silver in the end.The last time I ate with my classmates had more dishes than this and only spent a little more than one or two dollars. In his opinion, the money should be enough.

Then he took Xueyan and the others away quickly, and when the shopkeeper turned around from behind the counter, they had already left.The shopkeeper looked at the money in his hand, and wondered in his heart: it's really strange that there are still people rushing to give money these days!But this time my wife's errands were not done well, and I will have to explain it when I see my boss next time.

Seeing that the meal just now cost her nearly two months' worth of monthly money, Xueyan secretly smacked her tongue: No wonder this restaurant has no one to worry about. One meal can eat up the year's ration money of ordinary people, isn't it? Don't look down on the few copper coins in the pockets of ordinary people.

When they got to the street, Xue Yan felt dazzled when he saw the stalls selling groceries.After asking, the price is also very cheap, most of them cost a few pennies. She only buys things with more exquisite workmanship, such as clay figurines, bamboo weaving, wood carving... a lot of miscellaneous things cost less than a tael of silver. , are all paid by Uncle Ming.Someone said, she still has money to buy some gadgets for the eldest sister.

Thinking that it cost two taels of silver to eat, it was not bad, so Xue Yan was not polite to him.

In the end, seeing that there were too many things for Ji Liang and the two of them to hold, Xue Yan specially bought a big wicker basket for him to carry his things in, thinking that the basket would be free for his books when he went back home.

After shopping, it was getting late, and a few people went to the bookstore.Mother Li and the coachman were already waiting here, Xueyan hurriedly took the

A few books were about to leave, but Lin Ming grabbed his sleeves: "Are you leaving just like that?"

Seeing the people standing at the door talking, Xueyan struggled a little annoyed and said, "What is it that people see?"

Lin Ming frowned: "Then when will you come next time?"

Seeing the reluctance in his eyes, Xue Yan also softened her heart: "I can't make the decision on this kind of thing, it won't happen soon." At least there was no chance to come out a few years ago.

"Then take good care of yourself and don't get sick again. You'd better look better with a rounder face." Lin Ming said softly.

Xueyan rolled her eyes in her heart: If it sounds like a perfunctory word, if I'm really as round as Mama Li outside, you probably think I'm fat.Tsk tsk, this man's method of teasing girls is simply self-taught. If he is not disciplined, he might be a playful bully or a cultured bully... Xueyan suddenly felt that his road ahead would be very difficult, so After I made up my mind to go back, I had to carefully observe this person's xinxing for two years before talking about anything else.

If Lin Ming knew that the methods he had learned from the scriptures had inadvertently brought great ups and downs to his way of chasing his wife, I wonder if he would burn those scriptures in anger...

After returning home, Daiyu saw the toys that Xueyan brought back and really liked them, so she asked the little maid to give some to all the sisters, and kept a few favorites for herself, and played with them until late at night before going to bed.

However, Xueyan sat in the car for a long time today and walked around all afternoon. She was really tired. She thought she would not be able to fall asleep because of excitement, but ended up lying in bed

I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow last time, and I didn't even remember the shadow of someone.Poor someone in the distance tossed and turned for most of the night, and didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.

If he was allowed to wait until Xueyan didn't care about him at all, he would definitely accuse him to his face: You heartless girl!
