Be a maid in the red mansion [Comprehensive]

The carriage stopped, and Jiang Wanyin lifted the curtains to take a look. She had already arrived at Zhang's residence.

"Brother Hu, please wake up, the Zhang residence is here."

Jiang Wanyin called out to Jia Hu who was sleeping soundly in her arms, and Jia Hu buried his head in her arms and refused to wake up.

This habit of staying in bed can't be changed, Jiang Wanyin sighed helplessly and could only continue to wake Jia Hu up.

Another year has passed, Zhang's eldest daughter was born in November last year, and the old lady named her eldest granddaughter Jia Yao, and followed her two elder brothers to be king.And because she was the first girl in the generation of princes of the two mansions, her grandfather Jia Daishan gave her the nickname Yuanjieer.

The eldest daughter's first name and nickname were given by the elders, which made Jia She unhappy and muttered secretly for a long time.

And one day later than Jia Yao, he was actually the eldest son of Erfang who was born half an hour later. Jia Daishan named the eldest son of Erfang Jia Zhu.Originally, Jia Zhu was the third son in Rongguo Mansion, so he should be called the third brother; but his wife, Jia Shishi, insisted that the first and second families be separated, so Jia Zhu became the second brother's eldest brother.

There are two eldest brothers in Rongguo Mansion.In order to distinguish them, the servants in the mansion directly called the eldest brother Hu and the second brother Lian, and the second brother was Zhu eldest brother.

It's against the rules and sense to separate the families without dividing the family, but Jia Shishi insisted on this, and even the old lady couldn't stop it.This made the old lady and Mrs. Zhang very dissatisfied, but Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang were very satisfied.

After giving birth to the eldest son, and the son was insisted by Jia Shi to be ranked as the eldest brother, Wang immediately felt proud.After the confinement and the new year, there is not much to do.

Especially in March, after Zhang Taifu resigned due to illness and stroke, Wang's arrogance became even more arrogant.

Gein's highest official position is now inferior to that of the Wang family.

In mid-March, Taifu Zhang resigned due to illness. Except for the third son of Zhang Taifu, who was promoted to be the left deputy capital censor and stayed in Beijing, the second and third sons of Zhang Taifu were released from Beijing.

Zhang's brothers and cousins, except for Zhang's second brother who took the imperial examination last year and just entered the Hanlin Academy, stayed in Beijing, and the other brothers and cousins ​​who already had official positions were also released. Several relatives, cousins ​​and nephews who were studying also stayed in Beijing.

Today, the highest official position in the Zhang family is Zhang's uncle, who is a third-rank official.Now the Zhang family is naturally not comparable to the family status of Zhang Taifu's hometown in Yipin Pavilion when he was in the court.

But Wang's father is now the second-rank minister of the Ministry of War. Although he is an idle official of the Southern Sixth Division, he happens to be half a rank behind Zhang's uncle.

This makes Mrs. Wang think that her family background is higher than Mrs. Zhang's, and she wants to dominate Mrs. Zhang in everything.Especially after his wife Jia Shishi asked Zhang and Wang to help with the housework in early April, Wang even competed to be better than Zhang in every way.

Unfortunately, the old lady fell ill again after the New Year. Although she is getting better now, she is not as energetic as she was a few years ago.

As for Mrs. Zhang, knowing that Mrs. Wang had poisoned her and her two sons several times, she put more energy on her two sons and did not compete with Mrs. Wang on housework.In this way, the Wang family is even more important to the Jia Shi family, and they have already managed half of the family in the Rongguo Mansion. If Jia Daishan hadn't suppressed them, Jia Shishi would probably want the Wang family to be the head of the Rongguo Mansion.

Although it is only half of the family, it is enough to make Wang arrogant.Also because the Wang family has become half of the family, it has weight in the Rongguo Mansion, and many servants in the mansion have taken refuge in the Wang family.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang has the contacts and influence of the old lady, so she can be on par with Mrs. Wang.

In April, the old lady's condition improved, and Jia Hu was getting older, so Mrs. Zhang went back to her natal home to ask the old lady to let Jia Hu go to Zhang's house to study with his cousins.The date was set after Jia Hu's birthday in April.

After Mrs. Zhang planned to send Jia Hu to Zhang's residence to study, she also had time to fight with Mrs. Wang.

But these had little to do with Jiang Wanyin, because Jia Hu was going to study in Zhang's mansion, Zhang arranged for her to go with Jia Hu to Zhang's mansion to take care of Jia Hu.Although Mrs. Zhang wanted her to protect Jia Hu more, it also allowed her to temporarily leave the chaotic Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Hu went to Zhang's mansion to study and went home once every half a month. Calculated in this way, she would not spend too much time in Rongguo mansion for at least ten years.And ten years later, she was already in her twenties, and it was time for her to be released to be a matchmaker.At that time, I hope Jia Hu can consider her love for serving him for more than ten years, and give her a book and set her free.

Today is Jia Hu's first day studying in Zhang's residence.The little guy was woken up before dawn and went out to come to Zhang's house to read. The little guy was not used to it the first day, and fell asleep when he got in the car.

"Brother Hu, wake up, you have already arrived at the Zhang residence. I am afraid that the elder is already waiting for you. If you let the grandma know that you are late, you will be angry. Brother Hu, wake up .”

"Hey. Got it."

Jia Hu rubbed his eyes and sat up, Jiang Wanyin hurriedly straightened his clothes.

Servant Ding carried Jia Hu out of the carriage, and Jiang Wanyin also got out of the carriage with her things in her arms, and then gave the things to her brother Zhao Zhong.

Jia Hu went to Zhang's house to study, and the Zhang family arranged a servant for Jia Hu. With Jiang Wanyin's mother being Jia Hu's nanny, Jiang Wanyin's own brother, Jia Hu's nanny, naturally became Jia Hu's bookboy and babysitter. fellow.The other bookboy is Zhang Youde, the son of Jia Hu's other nanny Zhang Nanny.

Jiang Wanyin carried Jia Hu's schoolbag and followed Jia Hu into the Zhang Mansion. This schoolbag was made by Jiang Wanyin for Jia Hu.Naturally, Jiang Wanyin didn't dare to make out some kind of backpack suddenly, after all, the Red Mansion and the Qing Dynasty were notoriously worlds through a sieve, Jiang Wanyin didn't dare to take risks.Jiang Wanyin just got a messenger bag, embroidered with simple and elegant patterns, Jia Hu also likes it very much.

After entering Zhang's mansion, Jia Hu took two book boys to meet the elder, Jiang Wanyin followed the maids and mothers of Zhang's mansion to pay respects to Jia Hu and went to the small yard arranged by Zhang's mansion for Jia Hu.

"This Ningyuan was personally designated by the old lady to leave it to the young master, and the old lady brought people to tidy up and arrange it herself. However, the old man didn't know what the young master liked, but the young master didn't like it, so he specially ordered me to wait for my sister to ask my sister. But there is something inappropriate. Sister, take a look first, if there is something inappropriate, just tell me, and I will arrange it as soon as possible.”

"The old man and the old lady have a heart. Before going out, our grandma told Brother Hu not to worry. The old man and the old lady love her the most. They know that brother Hu will make arrangements when he comes home to study. Looking at the yard now, we should know whether grandma is there or not." Wrong, everything inside and outside this yard is good and appropriate, which shows that the old lady is very careful."

"Sisters don't need to re-arrange, these arrangements are very good. Today I really need a few sisters. In the future, Brother Hu will live in the mansion. I hope the sisters can give more pointers to my younger sister."

Jiang Wanyin took out a few purses from her sleeve and stuffed them into the hands of the maids.

"This is my sister's kindness. I hope that the sisters will not despise my sister for being stupid in the future."

The purses contained silver nuggets, which Mrs. Zhang had asked to prepare early on.This time when Jia Hu came to Zhang's residence to study, Mrs. Zhang prepared a box of silver and gold nudes, worth hundreds of taels of silver.These gold and silver nudes were prepared by Mrs. Zhang for Jia Hu to reward the servants of the Zhang family.

Although Mrs. Zhang is the aunt of the Zhang family, she is a married person, so she cannot be compared with when she was a girl of the Zhang family when she was not married.Not to mention that even when you are not married, you have to reward your servants, let alone after you are married.

Although the servants of the Zhang Mansion did not have a pair of snobbish eyes like some servants of the Rongguo Mansion, they were quick to see money, but there is no one who does not look forward to a reward from the master at this moment.With rewards, it is easy to command others, and with rewards, servants can handle affairs quickly.

The maidservants took the purse, and the smiles on their faces became more real.

"Look at what my sister said, if my sister is still stupid like this, then I won't be able to find anyone who is smart. Master Biao is the great-great-grandson of our old man. My sister just treats this as her own house, and if you need anything, just talk to us." explain."

"Then Lu Yin would like to thank the older sisters first. The younger sister has just arrived. When the younger sister settles down, if there is still something missing, I will ask the older sisters for help."

"That's all right, sister, you clean up first, and I'll go back and report first. If there is something really missing, my sister can just come to us."

Jiang Wanyin sent several people out of the courtyard, the two maids left first, but the other maid in pink did not leave immediately.

"What's the matter with this sister?"

Jiang Wanyin looked at the remaining maid with some doubts.

"Yin'er doesn't know me?"

The maid didn't answer but instead asked Jiang Wanyin, looking at Jiang Wanyin with a smile, those eyebrows made Jiang Wanyin feel familiar.But Jiang Wanyin still didn't recognize who she was.

She was married to Rongguo Mansion with her parents when she was only three or four years old, and she knew little about the servants of Zhang Mansion, even less.Even if they knew each other, it has been seven or eight years now, and people have grown up and changed, so it's normal not to know each other.

"Sister is?"

"Yin'er, I'm sister Xiuyi from your uncle's family. Don't you remember, sister? I gave you candy when you were young."

"Sister Xiuyi."

Jiang Wanyin was quite surprised, looking at Xiuyi carefully, she finally remembered how familiar Xiuyi's eyebrows and eyes are, Xiuyi looks like her grandma, especially the eyebrows and eyes, aren't they exactly the same as her grandma.

Xiuyi was eight years older than her. Not long after she was born, Xiuyi entered the mansion as an errand, and there were not many opportunities to meet her.Later, she went to Rongguo Mansion and entered the mansion as an errand when she was just four years old, and she never saw Xiuyi again after that.Xiuyi is now 19 years old, and she has grown up completely.After several years of not seeing each other, Xiuyi has changed a lot, and it's no wonder she couldn't recognize her.

However, Xiuyi has reached the age of marriage, Jiang Wanyin did not expect that she is still working as a maid in the mansion.

"It's me. You girl doesn't recognize me anymore."

"Sister, don't blame me. We haven't seen each other for several years. Now that my sister has grown up and become more beautiful, my sister's eyesight is so dull that I didn't recognize her. Sister, you have a lot of adults, so please forgive my sister."

Jiang Wanyin hurriedly bowed to admit her mistake and begged for forgiveness.

I didn't expect to meet my cousin.With the help of my cousin, life in Zhang's mansion will be much more convenient in the future.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but Yin'er has grown up too, and now she's the maidservant next to Young Master Biao." Xiuyi stretched out her hand and stroked Jiang Wanyin's head, looking very relieved.

"My sister is still busy, if not, let's go in and sit down and talk."

Just inquired about the Zhang family from Xiuyi.

"I'm afraid it won't work. The old lady is still waiting for me to go back to serve. How about this, you can clean up the house and come to you when I am free."
