The Lady of the Big House in the Red House
Chapter 82
I heard that Grandma Zhen is very satisfied with her, and she always takes her with her when she goes out. "
Qin Keqing didn't seem to have such treatment in the past.After checking the items on the gift list one by one, Xu Hui raised her eyes and said, "Where did Qianzhu go? Why didn't you see anyone all day today?"
"Madam, have you forgotten? Qianzhu is not feeling well today, Madam allowed her to go back to rest." Calamus put down the hot tea and replied.
"I'm so busy and dizzy." Xu Hui patted her forehead lightly and said, "It's getting late, and it's time for the master to come back. Go ask the people in the small kitchen to prepare dinner."
"I have told Qingwen to go." Tweety said with a smile.
Qingwen?Isn't this the girl next to Jia Baoyu mentioned in the book? She still remembers that she looks a bit like Lin Daiyu, but she didn't expect this girl to come to her after the Second House Branch went out.Xu Hui raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "Qingwen? This is the first time I've heard of this girl's name."
"She was promoted from the third-class girl. My wife let some girls out before, so I have to pick some to come up." Tweety said, "That girl Qingwen is quick in her work, although sometimes her temper is like a burst of carbon. , but she is a very nice person. The few purses my wife ordered to embroider were all made by her."
Thinking of those purses with exquisite workmanship and stitches, Xu Hui had an epiphany, and said: "It seems that the girl still has a good hand at stitching. I'm afraid that Qianzhu will not be able to come to my side to be on duty during this time, so let Qingwen come over first." For a while."
"Yes, the servant girl will talk to that girl later." Cui'er said, "It's her good fortune to be able to be by Madam's side."
"Who is lucky or not, go to Lian'er and call Lian'er-in-law and three children."
"Yes." Calamus replied.After she walked out of the room, she whispered to Cui'er, "That girl Qingwen is really lucky to be promoted to the wife's side. If Qianzhu finds out, she will definitely be unhappy."
"What nonsense, Madam didn't say she would transfer Qianzhu back." Cui'er gave her a sideways glance, "Madam has told you several times, don't talk nonsense, why don't you remember it. Wait until If I said something wrong at the time, even I can't keep you. I don't want to think about you, but I have to think about your old lady. Go and spread the word!"
Calamus pouted and muttered something, then turned and walked towards Jia Lian's yard.
"I really want to see the expressions of the people in Rongguo Mansion when they receive the gift list from us. Maybe they will be so surprised." Youshi touched the white jade three-set blessing on his lap. We are envious of the New Year gift they sent, and it is time to change it this year."
"Madam, let's have some tea first." Mrs. Hu brought hot tea with a smile. They would be envious instead." Mrs. Hu was born with a delicate face and was used to flattering Mrs. You, so Mrs. You treated her three points better than Qin Keqing.
You Shi also laughed when she heard her talk: "That's right. Our mansion has gained so much income for nothing, so it should open the eyes of people in Rongguo Mansion."
"Daughter-in-law is worried. After all, these dozens of boxes were sent by the Zhen family and asked us to store them for help. Is it wrong for us to use them like this?" Girl, walk behind Youshi and help her relax her shoulders, "After all, the Zhen family has a lot of friends in Beijing."
"Why didn't I see you so worried when I packed some things to go to Rongfu?" You Shi was not afraid, "Do you think there will be a day when the Zhen family is in a situation like this? Don't say that we took away more than a dozen boxes of things from him." No matter how much they dare to take back, this is evidence of their acceptance of bribes, and they are eager to send it all out without being found out by the emperor. We are also spending it for them, so that when someone finds out and calls them Sin is added to the class."
"I heard that Prince Zhongshun begged the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty to take all the female family members of the Zhen family to the courtyard he prepared. I don't know if the old lady Zhen will come forward to ask for it." Hu was still a little worried.
"Old Madam Zhen is in a daze of illness now, how could she have the thought to ask us for money. Besides, if they dare to ask for it, isn't it just to make their evidence of their crimes known to the world? Madam Zhen would not think so Stupid." You Shi patted Hu Shi's hand, "Don't think too much."
"Then the daughter-in-law can rest assured." Mrs. Hu also had a thought in her heart, thinking of getting those things out of it and sending them to her mother. After all, they are all good things. This may be the only chance for their family to see each other in this life. arrive.
"Madam, there are people outside. They say it is Madam's mother and two sisters." The little girl guarding the door suddenly came in and reported.
Youshi frowned and was invited in.
"I heard that Zhen's daughter-in-law's mother and two younger sisters went to join her three months ago." Mother Jia asked.
"Yes, I heard that they have settled down and are living in Ningfu." Xu Hui wondered why Mother Jia would ask such a question, "Why did the old lady suddenly ask this?"
"Just thought of it all of a sudden." Mother Jia took a sip of tea, "The New Year's gifts sent by the East Mansion this year seem to be too expensive, and they are much more generous than before. It seems that their mansion has made a lot of money recently, no wonder another The married stepmother and two younger sisters are going to come here to seek refuge, and they want to live in the Ning Mansion so shamelessly, I'm afraid they are also fascinated by the scenery."
"The old lady has heard about it too." Xu Hui said with a light smile.That day Mrs. You brought Second Sister You and Third Sister You to defect to Youshi. She might have seen the luxurious decoration of Ningguo Mansion, so she refused Youshi's offer to find a house for them to live in, so she insisted on living in Ningguo Mansion.The second sister You and the third sister are just young. Since Jia Zhen can do the job of picking up ashes, it's no wonder he can't think of other things when there are two such beautiful sister-in-laws in front of her.
"I haven't heard of it. It's just that today the Dongfu sent someone to beg that they wanted to dissolve the engagement between Second Sister You and her Nanfang, who had made a marriage, and wanted our mansion to come forward. I asked someone to inquire about it. The second sister flirts with Brother Zhen in the mansion, she really has no shame." Mother Jia snorted, "I shirked it, why should our mansion come forward for such a matter, they have a good idea."
"Brother Zhen this time is really..." Xu Hui shook her head, "Anyway, Second Sister You is still the younger sister of Zhen's daughter-in-law. He doesn't care about his own face, but he has to think about Zhen's daughter-in-law's face. And that old lady You, isn't it Why don't you just watch your daughter become someone else's aunt instead of being someone else's wife?"
"The family married to Second Sister You is an imperial merchant, and the family is considered rich, but they can see the luxury of Ning Mansion in their eyes." Jia Mu snorted, "From now on, all postings from Ning Mansion that should be rejected will be rejected. If you have nothing to do, don't go to the door, so as not to bump into something you shouldn't see."
"Daughter-in-law knows." Seeing that Mother Jia was becoming more and more dissatisfied with Dongfu's actions, Xu Hui thought that she would naturally decline the invitation from Dongfu in the future.

Qingwen is quick to do things, and she has a good hand in needlework. She can make sachets, purses, etc. that Xu Hui usually ordered to make, and the patterns are not repeated. Wen Dian is a first-class girl, and she follows her along with Tweety, Qianzhu and Calamus.
"What's so good about that girl, isn't she just making a few purses to make my wife happy?" Qianzhu found that Qingwen had gradually replaced her original position after returning from her illness, and now her wife would first look for Cui if she had anything to do. Son, followed by Qingwen or Calamus, she has already begun to lose her voice in front of her wife.Seeing Xu Hui taking a nap in the room, Qian Zhu complained to Calamus in a low voice.
"Who told you to be sick at the wrong time." Seeing that Tweety Er didn't pay attention to their side, Calamus replied in a low voice, "I told Sister Tweety that you would be unhappy, but Sister Tweety said that I was talkative. Tell me to stop chewing my tongue."
"Tweety is used to currying favor with his wife, so naturally he regards what she says as the truth." Qianzhu was also promoted after fierce competition. She was very obedient when she was trained by Jinmian before, but now she is more sunny. When Wen went to serve her wife, her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not her nose. She wished that Qingwen would be sent back to serve tea and water the next day. "Qingwen sold her human teeth into the mansion, and she was not a child of the family, so she had a proud look on her face. Who did she show this affectation. I don't know if she deliberately flattered her because of her good looks. Madam, so that Madam can give her to Second Lord Lian."
"What nonsense, my wife heard this, even if your old lady came to beg for mercy, she would not be able to keep you." Calamus stretched out his hand to cover Qianzhu's mouth, and said what Cui'er had said to her a few months ago, "Ma'am What I hate the most is that the people around me are gossips."
"When did you become so timid!" Qian Zhu cast a sideways glance at Iris, "Go ahead, I don't want to talk to you anymore."
Calamus was obviously also very angry, snorted and moved aside.
Tweety glanced at them back, shook her head, saw that Xu Hui had opened her eyes, and said, "Madam is up."
Qian Zhu hurriedly brought the outer clothes for Xu Hui to change into, but there was no hint of resentment on her face just now.Xu Hui glanced at her, put on her clothes and sat in front of the vanity mirror before saying: "I'm going back to Xu's house in the afternoon, Changpu and Qingwen will follow, Cui'er, you and Qianzhu stay to watch the house."
"Yes." Qingwen replied crisply, "Madam, clean your face first." After saying that, she handed over the twisted handkerchief.
Qianzhu's complexion suddenly became unsightly, and he lowered his head with gritted teeth.
Through the bronze mirror, Xu Hui saw Qianzhu's expressions one by one, and raised her hand
Qin Keqing didn't seem to have such treatment in the past.After checking the items on the gift list one by one, Xu Hui raised her eyes and said, "Where did Qianzhu go? Why didn't you see anyone all day today?"
