The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

Grandma Liu

After the man left, both master and servant breathed a sigh of relief.Such emotional changes are difficult for outsiders to notice, and Zijuan, who is also serving closely, will inevitably catch some abnormalities between the two, but she can't find Xueyan's handle in private and has to put this matter behind her.Up to now, Zijuan knows very well that Daiyu's most important thing in her heart is the snow geese she grew up with since she was a child, and she is just a glamorous face.But right now, this glamorous face is also very important to her. If something goes wrong if she doesn't pay attention, I'm afraid she will be in a very embarrassing situation.

Therefore, she has now learned to turn a blind eye to some things.For example, the little blood stain on the corner of the girl's clothes that I accidentally saw that day.In the past, she would definitely break the casserole and ask the end, but now that the master doesn't want to talk, it's not easy for her as a slave to force the master.

A few days later, Jia Lian came over in good spirits, and prepared a lot of good things for Daiyu, all the clothes were of the highest quality.He smiled and said to Daiyu: "When I came back to Jinling, I was supposed to accompany my eldest sister for a stroll around the city, but something happened to delay me. Those lackey slaves dared to show my eldest sister a look while I was away. It’s really a bear’s heart and a leopard’s guts. Don’t worry, sister, I have already taken care of those people. It’s just that I was also at fault in this matter, and these things should be regarded as a little brother’s apology, and the eldest sister must accept it.”

Daiyu saw that his attitude was very sincere, so she could only laugh and said, "I'll accept it in this way. Thank you, Second Brother Lian, for your trouble."

Jia Lian waved his hand: "It's okay, as long as my sister doesn't complain about me. I was not there that day and my sister was almost made things difficult by the Zhen family. It's because I'm not Zhou Xiang enough that my sister was wronged."

"It's because the servants didn't obey the rules, and I can't blame the second brother." Daiyu waved her hand to show that she didn't take it to heart.

Seeing that the two of them were talking more and more intimately, and they were already shaking hands and chatting happily, Xue Yan thought to herself that it was the business to leave as soon as possible after this matter was over.After going to Huguang, it will take at least half a year before returning to the capital, and then this matter will fade away.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian said to Xueyan later: "I heard that it was the girl who came forward to reprimand the servants in the family that day, so that the elder sister was not humiliated. Sometimes the servants of our family can't even resist me. When I was in the mansion Your second grandma often mentioned you, saying that it was thanks to you that the eldest sister was able to suppress those wicked women. This time it is thanks to you again, and you should be rewarded if you do a good job." As he spoke, he asked the servant to present a little girl Small brocade box.

Xueyan glanced at Daiyu, and seeing Daiyu nodded, she just accepted the things and thanked her with a smile.

She originally thought that if so many people took things by herself as a maid, would it be enviable?In the end, Jia Lian found a reason to praise the maid beside her, as well as Madam Cheng and Madam Liu, each of whom had a share of something that wasn't too frivolous.

Tsk tsk, as expected of Jia's family, he has no other skills, and the methods of coaxing women are simply one set, all kinds of good words are sprayed out, and everyone's words are not the same.This person will definitely be a good hand as a women's director in future generations.

In addition to these, there are many well-known time-honored snacks and fresh local melons and fruits. They even ordered a few tables of local specialties from one of the largest restaurants nearby for Daiyu and the servants of the Lin family to enjoy.

After Jia Lian left, Cui Liu was still a little puzzled: "Although Second Master Lian looked amiable along the way, he has never been so generous. What's the matter today?"

Xueyan smiled: "What else can we do? We are about to set off for Huguang soon. We can eat people and take them at the same time."

, when you see the master, you won't be able to speak ill of him. "

Daiyu interjected: "It doesn't matter whether you eat or not, one thing more is worse than one thing less. When you see Daddy, you should keep your mouth shut. There is no need to let Daddy know about trivial matters, they will only make him worry for nothing."

Everyone smiled and said nothing, but they were thinking in their hearts that if the master asks, how dare he not say it...

After a while, the food that Jia Lian ordered outside was delivered, and everyone happily went to set the table and get the bowls and chopsticks.When Xueyan greeted everyone, she turned her head and happened to see Liumama looking sullen, with a gloomy look between her brows.

Xueyan stepped forward worriedly: "What's the matter, Mammy? Seeing that your complexion is not good, is there something uncomfortable?"

Grandma Liu shook her head: "It's okay, it's just that I've been in Beijing for a long time, and I'm not used to the climate in the south. I feel a little stuffy in my chest, so I won't be here at noon to disappoint, I'll go back to my room. "

Seeing that her complexion was really bad, Xueyan didn't stop her, but picked two lighter dishes for the servant girl to deliver to her room.However, she was thinking in her heart that since the first lunar month, Grandma Liu had been a little depressed after seeing her natal family, and then she went out of Beijing to see her better, and now she looks like this, could it be that something happened to her natal family?

At this time, the table has been set.Zhu Mei came over and grabbed her arm: "Good sister, don't hurry up, you won't even have a mouthful of soup later." She said while pulling her to the side of the flower hall.Seeing that everyone was praising the delicate presentation of the dishes here, Xueyan couldn't help but comment on it.Daiyu knew that they couldn't let go of her here, so she simply stayed in her room and let the maids enjoy the huge flower hall.

There is a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River. Although this courtyard is just a guest courtyard of the inn, there is also a large pond in the courtyard, which is full of lotus flowers.At this time, on the other side of the capital, the lotus leaves have just begun to emerge, and there are already blossoming red lotuses here.

Opening the windows of the flower hall, smelling the fragrance from the breeze, sipping fragrant tea, and eating delicious and exquisite Jinling dishes, Xueyan felt that the beauty of this moment was somewhat in line with the expected time-traveling life.

At this time, Nanny Liu was sitting in her room sulking, and she didn't even move a chopstick on the exquisite Jiangnan dishes on the table.Thinking of the urgent letter sent by her elder brother Baili, if he was in front of her at this moment, Grandma Liu would wish to put these dishes on his head.It's just that she has no choice but to bear with the fact that no one is here.

Thinking of these years, even if I didn't stay at my mother's house, I didn't lose the few nephews and nieces of my mother's house.As long as there are some good clothes and good things, they will leave a share for them, but they are not satisfied at all, and every time they say that they give too little.The last time they knew they were in the Rongguo Mansion, the two sisters-in-law actually went to find them. What they said was selfish, and they refused to help their mother's family when they had good connections.

It's really ridiculous, have they forgotten how they ran against themselves in the first place?This meeting is still licking his face to ask for benefits!Nanny Liu used Jia Mu's name to scare them away, but they didn't expect that they would not give up, and even came up with their own idea of ​​getting married!

When Grandma Liu was depressed, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the door, and then a knock on the door. Grandma Liu hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then forced out a smile: "Who, Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xueyan pushing the door in with a tray.

Seeing that the food on the table had not been touched, Xueyan smiled and said, "I just went to cook some porridge for the girl, thinking that the mother is not used to the food here just like the girl, so I brought a bowl for the mother. You should eat as much as you can, no matter what happens to you, your health is the most important thing. If you ruin your body because of some trivial matter, wouldn’t it make your loved ones hurt your enemies?"

Grandma Liu smiled wryly, "Nobody else said anything, you just rushed here to make yourself uncomfortable, and you're not afraid that I'll take my anger out on you."

Xueyan smiled and said: "Although I don't have the status of master and apprentice with the mother, but thanks to the mother's careful teaching these years, I have the knowledge I have today. What's the point of a master talking about the land? Others want to hear from you You don’t even have the qualifications to teach!”

Rao even Liu Mama who was full of depression was also made to laugh by her fallacy.
