The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

snort!

Madam Zheng hurriedly led the crowd to meet her, and pointed to Mrs. Liu and said, "This Madam Liu was originally serving in the palace, and our master specially invited her here to teach our girls some etiquette and rules."

Mother Jia first praised: "Your master is very considerate." Then she said to Mammy Liu: "I don't know the identity of Mammy, I'm really rude." After finishing speaking, someone moved a chair and asked her to sit down. .

Grandma Liu shirked again and again before she sat down.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang asked, "I don't know where Mammy worked in the palace?"

Grandma Liu said with a calm smile: "Before I left the palace, I served Concubine Ning in Jingning Palace. After Concubine Ning passed away, I left the palace."

After hearing this, Wang was a little disappointed. Her daughter Jia Yuanchun has been in the palace for many years and there has been no news.After finally meeting someone who came out of the palace, he was about to inquire about his daughter's situation, but when he heard that the other party was serving Concubine Xianning, he dismissed the idea.Not for anything else, Concubine Ning has been dead for five or six years, and the other party said that she left the palace after Concubine Ning passed away, so it can be seen that the other party does not know the current situation in the palace.Thinking of this, Wang's originally eager attitude cooled down.

Mother Jia glanced helplessly at Mrs. Wang, thinking that the second child's family is still so short-sighted!She turned her head and said enthusiastically to Liumama: "It turns out that Liumao served Concubine Ning, so I remembered it when I said it this way. No wonder she looked at Mama Liu with a kind face. After the empress passed away,

I once went to the palace to worship, and you were the one who presided over the ceremony in Jingning Palace, right? "

Nanny Liu smiled and nodded: "It's me, the old lady has a good memory."

Jia Mu chuckled: "It can be seen that we are destined."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xueyan and others, and sighed: "The old and the young, how can they serve good people." After speaking, he shouted: "Brother Parrot, come here."

Then, a pretty maid came out from behind Jiamu, and Jiamu pointed to her and said to Daiyu, "This is my parrot, she is quite meticulous in her work, let her serve you by your side in the future. "

Daiyu hurriedly saluted and thanked her.

Although Daiyu is still a little thin, but her complexion is ruddy and her breath is long, no one who sees her can say that she has any deficiencies.Only Jia Mu sighed: "Your child looks like your mother, but he is too thin. Don't be an outsider when you come here, but you have to take care of yourself." After finishing speaking, she asked again: "How is your girl's diet recently?" ? Have you ever felt uncomfortable along the way?"

Xueyan and Madam Zheng looked at each other, and when they saw each other's eyes, they came out more and more, and replied: "Returning to the old lady, the girl is fine this way, and there is no discomfort in her body. It's just that my wife passed away before. In addition to grief, the girl suffered a serious illness, and afterwards she devoted herself to copying Buddhist scriptures and praying for her wife, and she refused to touch the slightest bit of meat, so she looked a little thin."

When Jia Mu heard this, she couldn't help stroking Daiyu's hair: "You child, even if you want to be filial, you should hold on to your body."

. "

After finishing speaking, she reprimanded Xue Yan: "You maidservants are too inattentive. You know what your master is doing wrong, so you should try your best to persuade him. Don't you want to let your master mess around?"

Xue Yan felt that a group of crows flew over his head, did he not offend the old lady?Why did you pick me up when you came up, is this trying to scare the chickens and monkeys?But no matter how upset she felt, Xue Yan still bowed her head and knelt down.She tried her best to calm down the anger in her heart, but she couldn't help lamenting: When will she be able to get rid of this enslaved life.

At this time, Daiyu, who had been silent all this time, said, "The old lady misunderstood Sister Xueyan. I was heartbroken after my mother left, and wished I could go with her. It was Sister Xueyan who kept taking mother's beloved daughter." Heart reminded me, let me cheer up and take good care of my body. She was also the one who saw that the medicine I had taken before was not getting better, so she went to ask my father to hire a famous doctor to diagnose my pulse from outside, and asked for a diet prescription to survive every day. The porridge and stew helped me to recuperate my body. The old lady has never seen me before, she would be out of breath after walking two steps, but my body can look like it is now, thanks to the careful care of Xueyan."

Mother Jia looked at Mother Zheng: "Is that so?"

Madam Zheng bowed and replied: "Of course it is like this. She was originally by Madam's side. Later Madam saw that she was very meticulous and stable, so she let her take care of the girl. If it was not right, the master would not have sent her to serve the girl in Beijing. "

Then Mother Jia smiled and looked at Xueyan: "So, I misunderstood you. Come on, it's cold on the ground, don't kneel down."

At this time, there was a burst of laughter outside the door: "Why do you kneel or not? On such a good day, who will the ancestors punish?"

Daiyu was still there wondering who this person was, and why he was so disrespectful?However, Xueyan immediately guessed that the person coming was undoubtedly Feng Lazi.

Sure enough, a group of daughters-in-law and maids surrounded by a beauty came in from the back door.It is written in the original book that Wang Xifeng is "like a concubine of a fairy". When Xueyan saw her today, she really did not have a half-true statement: even if she was covered with jewels and emeralds and dressed in fine clothes, it did not damage the other party's beauty at all. It was the first time I saw someone who could wear red so beautifully.Before time travel, she is definitely a proper Royal Sister Fan.With looks and scheming, Cao Xueqin said that she is a "hero in the powder pile", but it's a pity, after all, she didn't study much and was stuck in this high-rise compound all the time, just because of the trivial things. life…

Xueyan was thinking wildly in her mind, when she saw an emerald flowered dress froze in front of her, and then Sister Feng's crisp voice rang out: "Whose maid is this? It looks like this, if you don't know it, you may think it is Which girl is it? The ancestors must have liked her because she was smart and beautiful, so they deliberately made things difficult for her. Thinking that Sister Lin despises her, you can take advantage of her old age, am I right?"

Mother Jia was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said after hearing this: "It's still you, a monkey who knows what I'm thinking. I was distressed when I sent a parrot away, and I wanted to coax him to make up for it. Being so big by you If it is exposed, your sister Lin is not willing to give it to me now, and my thoughts will be in vain."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "What's the matter, isn't it just a maid? I'll ask the matchmaker to bring a cart, so you can always pick it up." Everyone on the ground laughed after saying these words, and Xueyan followed suit. She twitched the corner of her mouth, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

After Wang Xifeng finished speaking, she went to Daiyu's side and took her hand: "This is Sister Lin, she is really beautiful. Look at this whole body, she doesn't look like the old lady's granddaughter, but a direct grandson." Daughter, no wonder the old lady is talking about it in her heart every day."

Xueyan listened to the words exactly the same as in the original book, and couldn't help complaining in her heart: My girl looks like the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, she is beautiful, and she has a bookish look.Looking at Mrs. Jia again, she has a noble air, but how can my girl be as extraordinary and refined as a fairy?It's just talking nonsense with your eyes open.

She looked coldly at Wang Xifeng wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "I'm sorry for my sister's life, how could my aunt have passed away!" If she was really sad, she wouldn't be wearing red and green hair full of gold ornaments like this, it's really hypocrisy Extremely!

Even if Jia's family has a different surname, Jia Lian and others don't have to be filial piety as nephews, but since you keep saying you're sad, at least you should dress plainly on the day Daiyu comes to show your affection, right?In the end, as if you were afraid that others would not know your wealth, you dressed more gorgeously than the other!

At this time, Wang Xifeng was stopped by Jia Mu: "I'm fine, don't come to recruit me again! Your sister came from a long way, and she is weak, so don't make her sad." Wang Xifeng turned sad now For joy, he took Daiyu's hand again and asked earnestly.

Daiyu had already been told by Li Wan: "This is your Lian's second sister-in-law." So Fu went to meet again, but was grabbed by Wang Xifeng, and sat beside her again with her arms around her.

Xueyan watched from the side, secretly admiring the other party's ability to cry and laugh when she cried, it would be a great loss for the art world if this sister Feng didn't learn how to change face in Sichuan!

After a while, I saw several nannies and maidservants surrounded by the Yingchun sisters.Although Xueyan wondered why these three girls came later than in the book, she remembered that it was written in the book that Sanchun arrived first and Wang Xifeng came later.

But right now is not the time to think about these things, Xueyan stood aside and looked at Sanchun.Yingchun is gentle and amiable, Tanchun looks forward to flying, Xichun is still young, also, Daiyu is only six years old this year, Xichun is even younger, at most four or five years old, and still looks like a little girl.But the three sisters are all wearing the same style of clothes and the same jewelry, they really look like three sisters.

When Daiyu and Sanchun met each other, they sat down and talked again.

At this time, Wang Xifeng said to Daiyu again: "There are so many sisters here, my sister can just stay here with peace of mind, let me know what you want to eat and drink, and tell me when girls and women are not well, don't talk outside. Then he asked the wives: "Did Miss Lin bring in all her salutes? I brought a few servants, but have they all been arranged?"

Only Nanny Zheng and Xueyan remained here to serve, and Nanny Liu and Cui Liu had been lured out to sit in another room just now, so Wang Xifeng didn't know how many people Daiyu had brought.

The mother-in-law had no idea at first, and when she heard her question, she hurriedly replied: "I was about to ask you for instructions, Miss Lin brought a lot of servants to salute, I am afraid that the room we originally prepared would not be able to hold it, so please ask the master for another Arrange a place." This person is quite clever, not to mention that the mansion was not prepared at all, but that the house was prepared to be small, and it finally saved the Jia family's face.

Wang Xifeng was a little surprised and asked: "How many people did Sister Lin bring?" With how many people she has, it's impossible for her family to live without a house!

The mother-in-law Qiqi Ai couldn't answer, so Xueyan answered for her: "Including the servant, there are twelve in total."

Daiyu looked at Wang Xifeng: "Sister-in-law Lao Lian, don't worry." When she was at home, there were around a dozen people waiting for her, so she didn't feel that she had brought many people here.So I sincerely ask Wang Xifeng.

This time it was really Wang Xifeng's turn to have a headache. Originally, she thought that Daiyu was just a girl, and there were at most four or five people, so they settled down in a random place.I didn't expect the other party to bring so many people here. This mansion is quite big, but there are not many courtyards that can accommodate so many people. You can't arrange a little girl, Daiyu, to the outer courtyard, right?

Seeing Xueyan with Wang Xifeng's troubled face next to him, he smiled unkindly in his heart: Let you bully Daiyu in the original book, hum!
