The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

No match!

Xueyan remembered that in the original book, it was Wang Xifeng who first said that a little actor was like a certain person, but halfway through the sentence she knew she had made a slip of the tongue and stopped talking.This time, Sister Feng didn't mention it again. She waited until the little operas finished singing, and when Jia's mother asked for money, Aunt Xue suddenly pointed to Xiao Dan with a sharp chin and said with a smile: "This little opera is really good." Like... a person." Others didn't see it, but they inevitably followed her gaze to Daiyu.

What Aunt Xue said made Xue Yan very angry. Sure enough, all kindness was pretended, and it was obviously mean.On the day of visiting relatives, she came to provoke the relationship between Daiyu and Lin Ming, and now she said some specious things in public, and I was still looking at the round face next to her who looked like your daughter, why didn't you say it?

Everyone was silent, but Shi Xiangyun blurted out: "It looks like sister Lin." Jia Baoyu heard this, and couldn't help but wink at Xiangyun.Not only did Xiangyun not feel that he was wrong, but seeing Baoyu defending Daiyu became even more annoyed.

Daiyu's face turned red, but it's really hard to distinguish such things.

Xueyan couldn't see Daiyu being bullied like this, so she immediately stood up and replied to Shi Xiangyun: "Miss Shi, please be careful. Although my girl is not a daughter of the Marquis's family, she is still a lady of the official family. Miss Shi has always She knows the rules the most, even she refuses to tell the boy the name of her own servant girl. Why do you want to get involved with these low-level people when you come to my girl? My girl has always had no disputes with others, but she accidentally offended you You can just say it straight, why do you have such a bad reputation? Do you think my girl is an eyesore to you?"

These words were very serious, and Baochai couldn't help defending Xiangyun: "It's just a joke between sisters, and your servant girl's words are too cruel.

some? "

Do you want to say this?This girl has something more embarrassing to say!Xueyan slandered in her heart, and then replied solemnly: "Forgive me for talking too much, sisters should have some sense of proportion when joking around. Today I can talk about actors, but tomorrow I don't know what to say! Could it be that they don't even have this sense of propriety? Isn't it just bullying my girl who is soft-hearted and has no mother? My master is born thousands of miles away and can't support the girl at any time. If they know that their beloved daughter is insulted like this I know how much it hurts!"

Shi Xiangyun said angrily: "Your girl is the master of the young lady, and I am a slave girl. I am not worthy to speak of her."

"You are the daughter of the Marquis Mansion, and you are from the same family. My girl is just the daughter of an ordinary family. How dare you argue with me. You have been talking about it for a long time, but I have heard my girl say a word. It's just that the girl is good-natured. I don't care about it." But a servant girl can’t watch others bully her for nothing. Otherwise, what face will I have to see my master in the future?” Xue Yan refused to let her go, and said another big thing in a clattering voice.

At this time, Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Mu was just watching from the sidelines, and she hated in her heart, so she said: "You still know that you are a maid? How do you talk to the master?"

Xueyan was not afraid, and continued neither humble nor overbearing: "Back to the words of the second uncle and wife, the servant is a servant girl but a servant girl of the Lin family. Since the first wife put me next to the girl, the only master of the servant girl is the girl. If anyone else is right A girl with good intentions is naturally the master of this servant, if she bullies my girl with power, the servant will not tolerate it even if she risk her life."

These words were resonant, Daiyu who was able to bear it when she was teased by Xiangyun just now, but this time she couldn't help but shed tears.

Mrs. Wang only felt that this girl was as tricky as her master, and was about to blame her, when Mrs. Xing clapped her hands and praised: "What a loyal girl!"

Loyal servant of the Lord. "

Then, Mrs. Xing said to Jia Mu: "Although this girl is a bit left-handed, she is wholeheartedly for the good of Yu'er. No wonder Sister Min singled her out of so many maids to serve Yu'er. Although today's matter is Some transgressions, after all, are for her master, it's better not to reward or not to punish."

Jia's mother nodded: "This girl is a little bit more verbal, but Yu'er has always been shy, so she needs to be protected by such a strong maid, otherwise, any cat or dog can step on Yu'er's head. "When she said this, she didn't mean to look at Xiangyun at all, but Shi Xiangyun still couldn't help but squeeze the veil in her hand: Is the old lady blaming herself?Isn't it just a joke, why should you blame me?

In the original book, it's not that Jia's mother has never wandered between Xiangyun and Daiyu, or else she would not have taken the initiative to take her home to play with Shi Xiangyun before she got engaged.It wasn't until after she got engaged that Mother Jia alienated her a little bit.

But now Daiyu's father is still alive, and is a high-ranking official with real power, and has a stronger background than Shi Xiangyun, who has no reputation.Jia's mother loved Daiyu very much, but now she is completely on Daiyu's side.

Mrs. Xing easily saw what Jia Mu was thinking, and she couldn't help sneering in her heart: It's no wonder that a person like Lin Ruhai can fall in love with Jia Baoyu, an idiot!

However, she didn't show it on her face, she just shouted at Xueyan: "Look at you girl, you are quite clever on weekdays, but today you messed up Miss Xue's good birthday party with a few words for your master's sake. Miss Smith is upset. Hurry up and ask An to make amends, and be careful when your girl goes back to punish you!"

The Xue family's mother and daughter were a little surprised: this little play has only been sung for a little while, why is it over?

Xue Yan suppressed a smile in her heart, Mrs. Xing was looking for an excuse to interfere with Xue Baochai's birthday party, of course she had to cooperate.So he walked up to the two of them and saluted, "Thousands of mistakes are the fault of the servants. You shouldn't spoil the girls' elegance. If you want to beat or punish the servants, you can do whatever you want." He only apologized but firmly refused to admit his mistakes.

Baochai said with a smile, "Forget it, it's just a small matter, let's just let it go."

Shi Xiangyun turned his head and refused to say anything, Xueyan bowed and went back to Daiyu's side without speaking.

When things got to such an extent, the opera could not be listened to any more, so Mother Jia excused herself and left, and the banquet broke up.

After the banquet was over, Shi Xiangyun became more and more angry when he thought about it, and when he went back, he asked his maid Cuilu to pack up, and Cuilu hurriedly said, "What's the hurry, girl? Anyway, I won't leave today."

Shi Xiangyun snorted and said: "If you don't leave today, you will definitely leave tomorrow morning. If you don't leave, why don't you stay here and watch other people's eyebrows?"

When the banquet was over just now, both Baochai and Sanchun sisters saw Shi Xiangyun's displeasure, and followed her. Hearing what she said now, Baochai persuaded: "Why do you talk like that, sister Yun? Sister Lin is a serious person. , even if others saw it, they would not say it, because they were afraid that she would be annoyed."

Shi Xiangyun quickly said: "Why can others just say her, but I can't do it if I just say a few words? It turns out that my status is low and I am not worthy to talk to her!"

Jia Baoyu followed at some point, and when he heard Shi Xiangyun's words, he couldn't help pointing at her nose and said, "You, you really don't know what to do. Your insufficient words offended Sister Lin, and you even treated Sister Bao well." A birthday party was messed up, and now you are blaming Sister Bao again, I really don't know how to behave!"

Shi Xiangyun could not help being touched when he heard him shouting "Sister Bao" one by one, and he couldn't help being touched: "You are all sisters and sisters who are very close. I am the only outsider who co-authored, and I should be blamed by you."

Yingchun next to her couldn't help frowning when she heard this, thinking that sister Yun was really stubborn.

In the end, Wang Xifeng, who came here after hearing the news, took Shi Xiangyun to his yard with the help of sister Qiao and his brother.

Mother Jia rubbed her eyebrows and asked, "It can be regarded as clean, where is Yun girl?"

Amber next to her was holding a beauty hammer to help her beat her legs, when she heard the question, she replied: "It seems that the second grandma picked her up."

Jia Mu sighed: "Oh, the whole house is full, only Feng girl's mouth can subdue her. This Yun girl used to look very innocent, but now that she is older, she becomes more and more moody. Today It was her fault at first, but before Yu'er said anything, she got annoyed first. Even the girl from the Xue family can't compare, what a pity..."

Elderly people tend to get tired easily, not to mention that after a long day of bustle, Mother Jia was also a little tired, and fell asleep after a while under Hu Po's meticulous service.Hu Po gently covered her with a thin blanket, just as Yuanyang came back from the outside, seeing this, she said to her: "I'll watch here, you go and rest for a while."

Hu Po went out of the room, thought for a while, and went straight to the Zhuquan Courtyard, and told Xue Yan what Jia Mu said just now.After hearing this, Xueyan thought that Mother Jia had given up on Shi Xiangyun's meaning, and she only smiled lightly and said, "Depending on what her old lady plans, can we slaves be able to control us? Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. The mood of her old man."

Seeing that she didn't respond, Hu Po couldn't help but said anxiously: "It doesn't matter why, I don't believe that my sister didn't see what the old lady meant. If you said that you were a little bit vacillating before, it's settled now, so you don't have any ideas? "

Xueyan twitched the corners of her mouth: "Second Master Bao is the second wife's son after all. The old lady is just a grandmother who can't be the master of everything, not to mention there is a lady in the palace. Besides, the old lady's thoughts may not be the same as my master's." , even if she can be the master of Second Master Bao, my girl's future can't be decided casually." That is to say, she has a good relationship with Hu Po, and she would be lazy to say so much if it was someone else.

More than half of the maidservants in the Jia family have some thoughts on Baoyu. Seeing Xueyan's nonchalant expression now, Hupo couldn't help asking in surprise: "Baoyu is considerate and knowledgeable, he is good at poetry and prose, and he is filial. Can you fall in love with such a son-in-law?"

considerate?He is the so-called "sunshine warm man" in later generations. No matter how you look at it, this is one of the potentials of a playboy, pass.

Know the basics?Just because he knew the basics too well, he knew that his mother was passed by the potential of the evil mother-in-law.

Good poetry?Can this thing be eaten as a meal?If you read the Four Books and Five Classics well, you can still pass the imperial examination, and you will be able to support your family in the future.But Second Lord Bao hated "official career economy" the most in his life. If he was the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, it would be fine. After he was born, he could only be regarded as a side descendant, and he was so "indifferent to fame and wealth". He was definitely not a master who could be entrusted to him for life, pass.

Filial piety?This word is often confused with "foolish filial piety", and his father who is easily swayed by wind and his mother who is kind and evil, this is really not an advantage, pass.

In short, what Hu Po said is all shortcomings in Xueyan's eyes, not including the cousin who celebrated her birthday today and the cousin who made fun of Daiyu...

To sum up, Xueyan didn't think much of Jia Baoyu at all, so she replied very simply: "It's definitely not a match."
