The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

dagger

Daiyu didn't know about Miss Cheng's incoherent thoughts, so she held a teacup and said with a smile: "This tea is quite refreshing, you might as well moisten your throat."

The granddaughter was a bit spoiled, but Mrs. Cheng was not stupid. She quickly guessed that Daiyu was of a noble family, so she was very kind with the idea of ​​forming a good relationship. After eating Daiyu's tea, she also asked the maid to prepare her own A few plates of dim sum were brought out: "This is homemade. Although it is not as delicate as the girl's, it is still a bit fresh. The girl will just try it..."

Seeing that Daiyu and those wives were still able to talk, Xueyan took out a gaiwan from the box she was carrying, made a cup of tea, filled a plate of snacks, took the tray and walked to Lin Ming's side, He said with a smile: "Uncle Ming has been tired for a long time, let's have some tea and have a rest."

Today she is wearing a lilac-colored slanted-breasted moon-white tunic, which complements her pretty face even more, and there seems to be a little bit of autumn in her full eyes.

Lin Ming was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "Young lady, let the eldest sister worry about it, just leave it here." He really wanted to take the opportunity to say something more, but so many servants from the old house of the Jia family looked at him. , I didn't dare to be abrupt, and even had to turn around the corner.

But in the end, he was still a little unwilling, taking advantage of Xueyan's effort to bend down to put the tray on, blocked the sight of others with his body, and squeezed Xueyan's little hand unexpectedly.

In a moment of excitement, the force on his hand was a bit heavier, and he pinched a red mark on the back of Xueyan's white and tender hand.Pain in hand, Snow Goose

Lin Ming rolled his eyes at him angrily, and smiled in embarrassment.

Xueyan adhered to the good belief of reciprocity between people, and stretched out her hand with a smile on his thigh, pinching and turning, leaving a beautiful imprint of a redbud flower.

Just looking at her calm face, the movements of her hands are crisp and neat. When Lin Ming reacted, Xue Yan had already taken a step back, and said with a slight smile: "This slave has some errands to do, so don't bother the uncle for tea Yes, after you finish eating, there will be a little maid to collect things." After speaking, Shi Shiran saluted and left without looking back.

Lin Ming touched the pinched place: This girl really knows how to find a place, it really hurts!Next time, I must find my way back... Forget it, good men don't fight women, so next time we have to give way!

Xueyan returned to the gazebo, and Zhu Mei pulled her to a corner and stuffed it into a teacup again: "I've been tired for a long time, don't patronize others, your lips are dry, drink some water to moisturize .”

"It's still your thoughtfulness." Xueyan smiled and drank the teacup in one gulp, and Zhu Mei poured her another cup with the girder pot.

Xueyan saw that there seemed to be a lot of people missing here, so she couldn't help but look around and asked, "Why didn't you see Mother Cheng, has she settled down?"

Zhu Mei pointed to a tree shade in the distance: "Don't worry, Mother Cheng is over there, Cui Liu brought a large copper pot of hot tea and a stack of porcelain bowls over there, so that the mothers can take turns drinking Order some tea. Just after finishing speaking, your wine came again, and you can't finish worrying."

Xueyan smiled and didn't speak, they are slaves, they have to be like this, they have to think of their master in everything, they have to think of what the master can't think of, and they have to be careful in every aspect.Otherwise, if the master lost face, what good would they do?Fortunately, they followed a good master.Although Daiyu has great rules, she never abuses others at will.

After drinking another cup of tea, Xueyan was about to instruct the little maid to boil the pot of hot water again, when she suddenly heard a loud noise from a distance, looked up, and saw a large carriage coming from the embankment at some time There are more than a dozen vehicles in front and back, and many gorgeously dressed female relatives get off the vehicles, and there are always three to fifty people together with the maids and wives.

The people who were sitting also heard the movement. Mrs. Cheng glanced at her, her face darkened: "So it's his family!" Her energy-raising skills are not bad, but the rest of the Cheng family are far behind, and they were a little pretentious just now Seeing the carriage in the distance, the extraordinary Miss Cheng's face suddenly turned pale, and her body trembled a little.

The old lady Cheng glanced at her granddaughter, sighed in her heart, and said to Daiyu: "I think the girl came out by herself, and there are no two elders around her. If you finish shopping, you should go back earlier. You have come from a long way, don't let that happen." It's not a long-term collision."

Zijuan was about to say: Who dares to touch our Jia family's relatives.But was stopped by Daiyu, she said with a smile: "I'm really tired after walking around for a long time, and I'm about to go back."

While packing up, Xueyan saw that not only a group of female relatives came, but also twenty or thirty men hurried over on horseback, and joined those female relatives.The men didn't know whose family they were, they seemed to be quite unscrupulous when talking and laughing, and dared to point and point at the passing women's family members, and even laughed loudly.The strange thing is that none of the female relatives seemed to dare to offend them, and they just hurried away when they were teased.

It seems that he is still a local snake!

While thinking about it, Xueyan quickly packed things together with everyone. At this time, Madam Cheng, who was resting in the shade of another tree, also saw something wrong, and came over to Daiyu and said: "Those people don't know what they are doing. It doesn't look like a good family, let's get out of here quickly." After all, Daiyu is a girl's family, if something really happens, even if it is not her fault, others will make irresponsible remarks afterwards.

Daiyu nodded hurriedly: "That's what I mean too, they've packed up, let's go now."

When she walked to the side of the carriage where Daiyu was sitting, Xueyan smiled at Zijuan: "My sister has already worked hard all the way when I came here, I will serve the girl when I go back, and my sister can go back and have a rest."

Daiyu nodded: "Go, it's the first time you've walked such a long distance, you're no better than Xueyan, you're used to being beaten, and I saw that your complexion wasn't good just now, so you can have more room in the car at the back."

It's not that Daiyu's carriage is not as spacious as the maids', but that she has a lot of things in the carriage, and the two rattan boxes that she brought with her take up a large space in the carriage.Daiyu's seat is very spacious, but the servant girl dare not stand beside her, so she can only curl up in the lower seat and sit on a ponytail. It will take an hour to go back to Jia's house this time.The bumps all the way down the taste is not so good.

The women opened the curtain of the car, Xueyan jumped up first and was about to put down a small bundle in her hand before helping Daiyu, when suddenly she smelled a strong smell of blood on the tip of her nose.Strange, what's going on?She subconsciously looked into the carriage, but suddenly felt that something was pushing against her lower abdomen, and when she looked down, a bright dagger was pressing against her body...
