Be a maid in the red mansion [Comprehensive]

"Ma'am, Mrs. Zhen and Miss Zhen are here."

"Invite someone in."

The servant girl should go out last, and Jiang Wanyin ordered the servant girl beside her.

"Go, call Yu'er over here, and tell her Mrs. Zhen and Miss Zhen are here."

"It's ma'am."

Jiang Wanyin put down her hands and got up to greet her. She saw Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Xi coming from a distance.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law greeted each other and entered the house together.

"Why did my sister-in-law come here today? Is everything packed at home? Are you used to it in Beijing?"

"Fortunately, the servants sent by my sister have already cleaned up. I asked the matchmaker to pick out a few servants yesterday. Today I will come to thank you and return my sister's people."

The Zhen family suddenly moved to the capital, and the previous servants were a little reluctant to leave Yangzhou to come to the capital. In addition, the Zhen family originally had not many servants, and there were only a dozen servants who came to the capital.This is definitely not enough, so Jiang Wanyin asked Lin Butler to pick out a dozen servants outside the city and send them to Zhen's house to help.

"Sister-in-law, you are really too, but you are just a few servants, don't worry about it."

"The house is packed, and there is nothing else to do."

"By the way, thanks to my sister, you sent some vegetables, fish, meat and rice. This is a great help to the family. We are new to Beijing and are not familiar with it, thanks to my sister's help. My master specially urged me to come to the door to thank you. .”

"Brother, it's true. Is there any need to be so polite between me and his brother and sister? It's unfamiliar to thank each other."

Mrs. Zhen smiled when she heard Jiang Wanyin's words.Both the master and she don't like people who owe others favors, even if this person is sister-in-law.

"Auntie, where's Sister Yu'er?"

The adults talk, Zhen Xi sits and is bored.Zhen Xi was also very close to Jiang Wanyin, so she asked Jiang Wanyin directly.

It was only then that Jiang Wanyin remembered that Lin Daiyu hadn't come yet.After listening to the gossip of the slaves of Rongguo Mansion at the pier that day, the little girl became a lot dull after arriving at the mansion. It has been many days since she has not come to Jiang Wanyin's side every day as usual or helped Jiang Wanyin take care of her younger brother.

Jiang Wanyin knew that Lin Daiyu was thinking a lot, but she didn't know what she was thinking.Moreover, she has been busy these days since arriving at the mansion, so she hasn't had time to take care of her.Now it seems that I have to talk to Lin Daiyu as soon as possible.

"I've already asked someone to call Yu'er. I wonder if there's something delaying me, or I'll ask the servant girl to take you there."

"Then let me see sister Yu'er."

Jiang Wanyin asked the maid to take Zhen Xi to find Lin Daiyu.After Zhen Xi left, the aunt and sister-in-law continued to chat.

"In two days, it's time to take the test for a good scholar. How are you preparing, brother?"

Jiang Wanyin thought that all Jinshi had to take the examination of Shujishi, until Lin Ruhai told her a few days ago when she talked about Lin Yu's examination of Shujishi. Entered the Hanlin Academy.However, they had to wait for the other Jinshi to pass the Shujishi examination before being unified into the Imperial Academy.

In the previous life, Jia Hu passed the test of Shu Jishi, and in this life, Lin Ruhai was selected as Tanhua, but she left when Lin Ruhai returned to her hometown to worship, and she didn't know what happened afterwards; that's why she misunderstood.

"It's almost there. The master said there are [-] to [-]% certainty."

"That's good, brother will definitely succeed in no time."

If you pass the exam, you can stay in Beijing to work, or you can enter the Imperial Academy or the Sixth Ministry.

"Thank you, sister, for your good words. I have to ask my brother-in-law to help you with your brother's affairs."

"Naturally, I also hope that my brother can stay in Beijing, so that our two families can move closer together."

Jiang Wanyin also hoped that Master Zhen's family would stay in Beijing.

"I thank my sister for your brother. Is my brother-in-law feeling better?"

Madam Zhen suddenly asked about Lin Ruhai's body.

Mrs. Zhen is also sincerely concerned, but more for Master Zhen.Master Zhen is about to take the exam for a good scholar, and Lin Ruhai can only do things for Master Zhen when he is in good health.

"Thank you brother and sister-in-law for your concern. The master has entered the palace today. I will tell the master about my brother's affairs."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhen was worried, Jiang Wanyin said protectively again, that Mrs. Zhen was embarrassed to say it again.But Mrs. Zhen's goal was also achieved, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law talked about other things.

Lin Daiyu and Zhen Xi came together, and Madam Zhen remembered that it was getting late and it was time to go back.

"Sister-in-law is so rare to come, why worry about going back, it's better to have dinner at home, let's talk again."

Seeing that Madam Zhen was anxious to go back, Jiang Wanyin asked Jiang Wanyin to stay.

"It's gone today, and I didn't say anything when I came out. My master and An'er are definitely still waiting at home. Gai Minger, Gai Minger will come and chat with you again tomorrow."

Mrs. Zhen insisted on leaving, so Jiang Wanyin didn't keep anyone else, but she still personally sent the mother and daughter to the door.

"Sister, don't send it off, go back quickly."

"Auntie, goodbye sister Yu'er. Let's play together next time, sister Yu'er."

"Sister Xi'er has to come earlier."

"Understood, I must come."

The younger two sisters are reluctant to part.

After watching Mrs. Zhen and her daughter board the sedan chair and leave, Jiang Wanyin and her daughter went back.

"Mother, Yu'er is going back first."

Lin Daiyu spoke first, but Jiang Wanyin called her to stop.

"Yu'er, wait."

"Yu'er, let's talk."

Jiang Wanyin looked at Lin Daiyu and said softly, Lin Daiyu also looked at her, hesitated for a while before nodding.

Lin Daiyu followed Jiang Wanyin to the main courtyard, instead of sitting next to Jiang Wanyin as before, she sat on another chair.Seeing this, Jiang Wanyin smiled, and said in her heart that she was not disappointed would be a lie.After getting along for several years, even though Lin Daiyu is the daughter of his enemy Jia Min, after raising her for so many years, Jiang Wanyin has already regarded her as his own daughter; but Lin Daiyu disappointed Jiang Wanyin like this, and felt that the efforts of several years were in vain.

Seeing Lin Daiyu like this, Jiang Wanyin knew that because of what the slaves of the Rongguo Mansion said, she felt uncomfortable, and maybe there were other things, such as blaming her as a stepmother.

"Yu'er, can you tell mother what happened to you these days? What else are you thinking about?"

Lin Daiyu remained silent, while Jiang Wanyin stared at her.

"Yu'er, did someone whisper something in your ear?"

She has cleaned up the Lin family many times, and she has cleaned up all the people related to Jia Min. It is possible that there are still fish that slipped through the net.

"No. No. Mother, no one says anything to me."

"Yu'er, you haven't come to play with Ankang these few days, Ankang thinks my sister is looking for you every day."

"Mother, Yu'er is not feeling well these days, so I will go play with Ankang another day."

Hearing Lin Daiyu calling her mother again instead of calling her mother affectionately, and hearing her perfunctory refusal, Jiang Wanyin suddenly didn't want to say any more.

She doesn't even call her younger brother anymore. These days, she is worried about Lin Ruhai and Lin Yu. In the past, Lin Daiyu was most concerned about Lin Yu's elder brother. Since she arrived at the mansion, she has been ignoring her. Jiang Wanyin's heart is also cold when she thinks about it. down.

"Forget it. If you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest. Mom won't waste your time. I'll ask the doctor to take a look at you later."

Jiang Wanyin also calls herself her mother.

After all, it was not her own, it was just a few words from an outsider, and she became unfamiliar with her.After all, it is Jia Min's daughter. After so many years of raising her, she is still not familiar with it. It was a waste of her time and effort.

Since it is your wish, I will grant your wish.From now on, it's just stepmother and stepdaughter.

Jiang Wanyin made a decision in her heart.

Even the smile on Jiang Wanyin's face was less sincere.

"There's no need for mother, there's no need to call a doctor. Yu'er just arrived in the capital and is not used to the weather in the capital. It's all good to rest for a few days."

"Then if you feel unwell, you can send a servant girl to tell me earlier, and let the doctor have a look at it earlier, so don't worry your father."

"Yu'er knows. If mother has no other orders, Yu'er will leave."

"Go."

After Lin Daiyu went out, Jiang Wanyin remembered something because of Lin Daiyu's performance today.

"Go, bring Jia Shi's dowry list."

Lin Ruhai entered the palace early in the morning but did not come until evening, Jiang Wanyin was anxiously waiting at home.Not only worried about Lin Ruhai's body, but also worried about what will happen to Lin Ruhai when he enters the palace this time, and also worried about whether the saint will bestow an official.

Uneasy, Jiang Wanyin went to the main hall to wait.

After lunch, he waited until the evening before Lin Ruhai came back.

"Ma'am, Master is back."

Hearing the servant's report, Jiang Wanyin immediately got up and went out, and saw Lin Ruhai as soon as she reached the door.Jiang Wanyin looked up and down anxiously, except for her pale and tired face, she was fine.Jiang Wanyin hurried forward to help him.

"are you tired."

"It's okay, I let you worry."

"It's fine when you come back. I'll help you to rest first."

Lin Ruhai didn't speak and let Jiang Wanyin support him. He was indeed exhausted.Originally, her body was weak, but not only her body but also her heart were tired after entering the palace. Now she was also exhausted mentally.

Although the two have not been married for a long time, they are very close.After all, with the memory of being a maid for more than ten years, Jiang Wanyin didn't need to spend a lot of time to get to know Lin Ruhai again.Moreover, both of them have passed the young and impulsive age, know how to be considerate of each other, and cherish this hard-won relationship and marriage.

Lin Ruhai held Jiang Wanyin's hand, even if they didn't speak, there was warmth between husband and wife.

After serving Lin Ruhai to wash and rest, Jiang Wanyin arranged dinner.At dinner, Lin Ruhai announced the good news.

"I went to the palace today to face the saint. The official position of the husband has been given by the saint, and the saint's compassion has been given the position of the left servant of the Ministry of Rites." Lin Ruhai smiled, obviously very satisfied with this official position.

"Really?" Jiang Wanyin looked at Lin Ruhai in surprise: "This is really great, congratulations, master."

"Congratulations dad."

Lin Ruhai was satisfied, and Jiang Wanyin was also satisfied.From the second grade, the servant of the Ministry of Rites is very good.This official position is similar to what Lin Ruhai and Jiang Wanyin expected.

Because of Lin Ruhai's body, Jiang Wanyin was worried that the saint would arrange Lin Ruhai to the household department.Among the six departments, the household department is also extremely busy, and Jiang Wanyin worried that Lin Ruhai's body would not be able to bear it if he went to the household department.Now that he has arrived at the Ministry of Rites, which is known as the Qingshui Yamen, Jiang Wanyin is relieved and satisfied.Although the Ministry of Rites is a Qingshui yamen, it is better to be free and not to worry about it.

Moreover, not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, all the canonization ceremonies in the palace were over. At least for a long time, the Ministry of Rituals was very leisurely, and it happened that Lin Ruhai could take care of his body in leisure.

"The official position as father has been decided, you can rest assured. Especially you, Yu'er, you should join the job in a few days. Take advantage of the three years in the Imperial Academy to study hard, and you don't have to worry about other things. You have to be a father."

"If the son knows, it will be hard work for father."

Lin Ruhai's official position was confirmed, and Lin Yu, a son, was naturally happy.With Lin Ruhai in the officialdom, Lin Yu's official career will be much smoother after he enters the officialdom.And with the young master from the second-rank servant's family, at least most people in the capital dare not look down on Lin Yu.

Jiang Wanyin was even more satisfied.

Lin Ruhai talked to Lin Daiyu again, but Lin Daiyu was depressed.

When the couple were alone at night, Lin Ruhai asked about Lin Daiyu.

"What's the matter with Yu'er today? Is there something unhappy? I think she seems a little depressed."
