The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

Big chance?

Daiyu is no longer Wuxia Ameng, and replied with a light smile: "What Mrs. Xue said is that I often think of my brother and miss him very much. I wish I could see him from time to time. It's a pity that he is a boy, so he can't be raised by a wife. Human hands, otherwise, I am afraid it will be difficult to honor the ancestors."

One sentence made Aunt Xue almost breathless, this stinking girl is really as sharp-tongued as her sister said!

Xueyan laughed secretly: I really thought my girl was easy to bully!

Baochai was about to take the grievances for her mother when she heard a commotion outside the courtyard. After a while, Mother Jia and others all came back.

The mother and daughter of the Xue family went up to greet her and asked, "Why did the old lady come back so soon?"

Mother Jia waved her hand: "I just stood there for a while when I went out, and I happened to meet a father-in-law. They said that my mother would not be able to leave until after dark. It's too early to stand here."

Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, and it also happens to be the Lantern Festival today, and it is rare for the palace to hold a banquet to appreciate the lanterns."

Mrs. Xing said: "I'm afraid the old lady didn't sleep well last night, so you might as well take advantage of this moment to sleep back in the cage. You will be in better spirits when you see the empress later, otherwise the empress will see the old lady like this." Haggard may be so distressing."

Elderly people already feel shallow. Last night, Jia Mu almost stayed up all night. She got up early in the morning and tossed about for a long time. This meeting was really overwhelming, so she nodded and said, "That's fine, you all also Let's go back and have a rest." I thought that the eldest daughter-in-law was still filial, and kept worrying about giving myself more rest, while the thoughts of the second son's family had already flown to the sky. Regardless of the life and death of his old bones.

So if the hearts of the people are biased, there is no way to fix it. The one who wants to come back to visit her relatives is Mrs. Wang's own daughter. The son is also very worried.However, her restlessness was not thoughtful enough in Jia's mother's eyes.

As for Mrs. Xing, she seemed to be thinking about Jiamu's sake with all her eyes, but it was not because she could go back to have a rest and lie down.In the eyes of Jia's mother, partial birth has become an expression of caring and filial piety...

Alas, it's the same sentence, life depends on acting skills!

Xueyan did not get to see the grand occasion of visiting relatives in Yuanchun.After all, even Daiyu had to have a will to see her, and naturally she couldn't bring many maids with her on such an occasion, so she only brought Zijuan.

After everyone left, knowing that Daiyu would not be back for a while, she went back to her room and lay on the bed to read.

I was fascinated by watching, when I heard a knock on the door, Xueyan vaguely saw that it was Cui Liu and Zhu Mei, and said with a smile: "When did you guys become so polite and not come in?"

After the visitors came in, they saw Xueyan's nonchalant appearance, Cui Liu said to Zhu Mei: "Look, let me be right, our sister Xueyan

What kind of heart is that sister, how can you feel sad because you can't go to see your mother? "

Zhu Mei also laughed and said: "I know that Sister Xueyan has a big heart, but it's different this time. It's a rare event in a century for a concubine in the palace. If we don't catch up, that's all. It’s a pity that I couldn’t see the grand occasion with my own eyes. Let’s just let it go, and the girls next to me brought two or three maids, sister Xueyan is qualified enough to go with the girls.”

Xueyan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "What's so good about going there? Since it's a concubine visiting relatives, the rules must not be ordinary and cumbersome, and even the girl doesn't know how long it will take to see her, let alone us. Didn't we accompany you that day? Miss, have you ever gone to see it? The main hall is such a big place that the masters alone can stand there, not to mention the maids. I guess, sister Zijuan went there, and I am afraid that she is outside the main hall at this moment Waiting. On such a cold day, how can you enjoy reading a book by the fire in the house?"

Then he said with a smile: "Come on, I have the good tea that the old lady rewarded me, I'll make a pot, let's eat melon seeds and chat for a while, wouldn't it be nice?"

A pot of tea was about to be brewed, and the door was opened, and Qingwen walked in holding Amber's hand: "Yo, you really know how to enjoy it."

While talking, he put a box in his arms on the table: "What kind of tea is this? It tastes really delicious. I just happen to be thirsty. Pour me a cup first."

Hearing this, Xueyan hurriedly picked up a cup and poured her a cup: "What are you doing? Why are you so thirsty?"

Qingwen rubbed her hands tremblingly: "Don't mention it, Hu Po and I couldn't accompany the old lady to the provincial hospital, so we wanted to watch the excitement outside. After watching for a long time, we only saw a crowd of people and countless palace lanterns. , I didn't even see the shadow of the empress, but I almost died of freezing. We just returned

When we came, I heard that the gentlemen had just started to say hello, and then there was going to be a banquet and singing, and we didn't know how long it would take, so we just came back. "

During the conversation, Xueyan had already poured a cup of tea for everyone, and said with a smile: "It's a wise choice to come back, I'm afraid I'm going to freeze through if I wait there for a quarter of an hour in such a cold day, how can I be in the house?" Are you comfortable?"

Isn't it just a concubine returning to her mother's house?In her previous life, Xueyan had watched the entire process of the prince's marriage on the Internet, and this trivial matter could no longer arouse her excitement.Thinking that there must not even be a place to sit there, if there are eunuchs and maids in the palace watching, and they have to stand in a "military posture" in a proper manner, she wouldn't have to suffer this!

It's a pity that Xueyan herself doesn't want to join in the fun, because someone still misses her!

After talking about the farewell to her family, Concubine Jia felt a little relieved.Taking advantage of the time when the sisters were writing poems, she asked Mother Jia: "I see that the embroidery on the screen in this hall is very good. I don't know where the embroiderer was invited to do it?"

Mother Jia hurriedly smiled and pointed to Daiyu, "It's not the embroiderer who was invited outside, but your sister Lin's personal maid, Xueyan, who embroidered it."

Yuan Chun was a little surprised: "I didn't expect such outstanding embroidery skills to be made by a maid. Is she in this palace now?"

Jia Mu knew that it was Zijuan that Daiyu was bringing with her today, but she still replied, "Their little maids are waiting outside the garden for Wuzhi. When you meet your mother, just ask her to come."

After finishing speaking, he gave Wang Xifeng a wink, Wang Xifeng understood, and quickly sent someone to call.

Xueyan was drinking tea and eating melon seeds and talking plums with her sisters, and the chat was in full swing. Suddenly, the door of her room was pushed open vigorously, and a woman stepped forward to hold Xueyan's hand and was about to go out: "Good girl You still have time to drink tea and eat melon seeds here, your big opportunity has come, come with me quickly!"
