Dowry maid's daily life [Red Mansion]

Chapter 11 The House of Unexpected Death

"May the old lady be blessed and safe." Mrs. Li paid a visit to Jia's mother.

Mother Jia helped her up quickly, and invited her uncle and wife to sit down.Then he ordered Baoyu to visit his aunt.

Just talking about homework, not long after, the nurse came in holding Jia Baoyu who looked like a golden boy.

Not to mention that Mrs. Li and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Wang, are at odds but are friendly on the face. It is only said that Mrs. Li is used to loving children because of her childlessness, so she can't help but hold her nephew in her arms and kiss her. .

The second sister-in-law paid a sudden visit, Mrs. Wang was a bit worried about Wang Xifeng's matter, she was puzzled and worried at first, but seeing this situation now, she felt a little relieved.The ladies chatted, laughed and gossiped in Jiamu's Rongqing hall, which was quite amicable.

"Auntie, I've never seen this sister before." Jia Baoyu, a five or six-year-old child who couldn't sit still, was dishonestly looking around in Mrs. Li's arms, and suddenly pointed to Du Yun'an who was accompanying her and asked with a smile.

"Oh, you are such a petty person, do you still remember them?" Mrs. Li rubbed her nephew like something.

"This is Sister Baitan and Sister Ruiyun. These are Sister Ping'er and Sister Leer who follow Sister Feng. Only the sister in light yellow clothes doesn't know each other." Baoyu pointed to people and called them names one by one.

Mrs. Li opened her eyes wide and looked at Mother Jia in surprise: "Did I see you last year during the New Year's Eve? I have never seen such cleverness before!"

Mother Jia nodded with a smile.

Mrs. Wang covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just last year! This year, the master hired a professional teacher for him, and he was detained for more than half a year without leaving the house."

Mrs. Li held Jia Baoyu's face and looked at it carefully, but what she thought was that Wang Ziteng supported Jia Yuanchun, could it be that she was really interested in the future of her brother?

"Auntie! Auntie! Is this sister new here?" Jia Baoyu still pointed and asked, but Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, afraid that Baoyu's obsession would make the second sister-in-law displeased.

"Baoyu!" Mrs. Wang yelled softly, then turned to look at the girl he was pointing at, thinking that she was a flamboyant and demonic thing, and she provoked Baoyu's dementia the first time she came back.

After a closer look, Mrs. Wang didn't like it very much. Although the eyebrows were low and her eyes were not out of the ordinary, and she was not dressed in red and willow green, but those clear peach blossom eyes violated Mrs. Wang's taboo.The first time Mrs. Wang saw Du Yun'an, she knew it right: "Anyone with double fox eyes is naturally a vixen..."

Mrs. Li let go of Jia Baoyu, called Du Yun'an to her and said, "Her name is Yun'an, and she lives in the aunt's house like Bai Tan and Rui Yun. May I ask her to play with you for a while?" Rui Yun Hearing this, the corners of his mouth tightened unconsciously.

Jia Baoyu nodded hastily, stretched out his small hand to grab Du Yunan's hand, Yunan hurriedly bent down and gave it to him, and escorted him aside with his nurse in soft words.

Mother Jia glanced at her twice, and praised: "My uncle and wife are good at taking care of people, she is a beautiful and good girl."

Mrs. Li smiled and called Ping'er and Le'er to come forward: "What is this girl, the old lady's Feng girl is really good! No, she knew I was going to come to you, but she couldn't go out by herself, but let these two take care of her." Come to kowtow to the ancestors."

"Okay, okay!" Jia Mu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she shouted again and again, and gave another generous reward.

Mrs. Li took the opportunity to say: "Before I suffered from a headache, I was afraid to go out. I finally came here today, and I had to look at our brother Feng's yard - I raised her for a few years, and I had to do everything myself. Sending her out, who knows that her body will not live up to expectations..."

Jia's mother hurriedly replied: "It's extremely, it's extremely. Take your uncle and wife around quickly. I will set up a table at noon, and we girls will have wine!"

While talking, she looked at Mrs. Xing. Mrs. Xing was a little cautious just now, and she couldn't get in the conversation. Now she stood up quickly: "Please, uncle and madam. If there is something you don't agree with later, uncle and wife can just say, I'll tell them to fix it right away."

It was inappropriate to say this, and it seemed a bit too fawning.Both Jiamu and Mrs. Wang frowned, but Mrs. Li looked as usual, talking affectionately.

Mrs. Wang asked the wet nurse to take Baoyu down, and she also resigned to be a director. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li grabbed her arm and said, "Old lady, today I will take a day off for my younger sister. How about asking her to hang out with me for half a day? I will pay you back later." you!"

The words and the demeanor were very intimate, and Mother Jia was obviously happier, and ordered Mrs. Wang to accompany her.

Even if she was really unhappy in her heart, Mrs. Wang had to show a smile and slip her heart to the halfway point, not going up or down.

The East Courtyard where Jia Amnesty lives and Rongguo Mansion have actually been separated into two houses, and it is necessary to get out of the corner gate and bypass the main entrance of Rongguo Mansion.This is the first time Mrs. Li has entered the home of Jia's big house, it is indeed not as spacious as the Rong Mansion, but the scenery is very unique, a bit like a Jiangnan Manor.

Du Yunan sat on the green curtained car at the back, took a peek at the road, and felt that the five entrances here are more interesting. The flowers, trees, rocks, small bridges and flowing water in the courtyard are deliberately carved into different scenes, and there are mandarin ducks and ducks in the water— —It is completely different from Wang Ziteng's mansion and Rongguo mansion, which emphasize grandeur.

"You're so ignorant! Look through the cracks of the window, you don't have to make fun of your relatives!" Rui Yun suddenly sneered, his usual happy appearance was quite different, and no one cared about Baiji and the others.

Du Yun'an was puzzled, so he had to pretend to be stupid: "I'm a girl from a villager, so I don't see the scenery of these deep houses and courtyards." In fact, I have been to the Forbidden City countless times.

Ping'er and others laughed at Du Yun'an's frankness and straightforwardness, only Rui Yun felt more depressed, and his indescribable anger surged toward the sky - if Du Yun'an knew how she was feeling now, he must understand why: Isn't this the yin and yang strange qi being captured? Blocked back 'nowhere to hurt people, self-damage a thousand'?

----

Although Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing didn't love Jia Lian, he was actually the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, so the small courtyard that the East Courtyard tidied up for Jia Lian was very nice, and the doors, windows, furniture, etc. should be brand new.The three-entry small courtyard is full of colors, and even the antique shelves are full of valuable antiques.

Mrs. Xing was very proud and showed off a lot.Mrs. Li took her hand and thanked her sincerely.

Today is a rare cool weather in summer, and Mrs. Xing walked this way, not only did she not feel the heat, but she was still full of regrets.It was the first time for her to be proud in front of the Wang family, and she had also been flattered by Mrs. Wang Ziteng. Now she couldn't help but feel that asking Jia Lian to take the Wang family daughter was not a business that lost too much money.He also felt that in the future, she and Mrs. Li would not only be in-laws, but also share the same illness - one is a stepmother, the other is a foster mother - wouldn't they be closer than Mrs. Wang?

According to Mrs. Xing's knowledge, there is no such thing as a sincere and harmonious sister-in-law, so the more she feels that she is more respectable than Mrs. Wang in front of Mrs. Li, she can't help showing some airs of being in charge of the family and bossing her around.

Mrs. Wang looked down on her in her heart, but she had a steady and honest look on her face. Occasionally, she would look at her own sister-in-law when she was difficult to answer.

Mrs. Li was sitting on the fish platform, just watching them fight with her maids.

Mrs. Li has never picked faults, but when Du Yunan thought that was the end of the day, she suddenly asked: "I listened to what the old lady said, but I didn't want to part with Lian'er, and I still asked them to live here in the future, right? "

After saying this, the two wives of King Xing were not at ease.

Mrs. Li revealed that Mrs. Jia is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She asked Jia Lian to live in Rongfu, but she killed three birds with one stone. , the third is to win over grandchildren.But if this method is used, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng can do it, but the two wives have their own dissatisfaction.

"Hey, our Brother Feng may have fallen into the nest of blessings, and the whole family loves her!" Mrs. Li laughed to herself: "I'm afraid the old lady is about to pass on the meal, why don't we go there together, by the way?" Do you want to see the house over there?"

Mrs. Li's purpose today is to see the residence that her good aunt ordered for her niece - Mrs. Li didn't care about it before, but she was taken aback when she asked about it. She is such a great sister-in-law!I didn't mention that my aunt's former residence was assigned to my niece, but Mrs. Li knew that there was something bad about that place. The old aunt who gave birth to Duke Rong's three concubines died in that house, or in this mansion. The old lady secretly ruthless hands.

Outsiders said that the old aunt was too sad to follow the old Duke when he died, but Mrs. Li later learned from Wang Ziteng that she was actually strangled to death.She, Wang Ruoyu, can also do that deadly house for her niece's newlyweds to live in!

"It's time to go and have a look! I heard that my brother and sister gave Lian'er the place behind Rongxi hall. The courtyard is a terrible one. It is on the central axis of our mansion. Zhu'er was not willing to live in it that day. !" Mrs. Xing didn't know the inside story at all, just because the place was narrow and far less than the yard prepared by their eldest house, she cheered up.

Mrs. Wang's heart was beating violently, she first declined and said: "It's been sealed there, but it hasn't been cleaned up yet. Feng'er always has to live with her in-laws for a year or so before she passes the door. Just set it up."

Mrs. Li clapped her palms and said with a smile: "It turns out that it hasn't been arranged yet, but it's a coincidence! I have a whole set of furniture in my dowry to accompany Feng'er. There is no place to place the furniture given by Feng'er's parents." So he called Du Yun'an: "This girl of mine is a bit capable in terms of size, so I just asked her to measure the size and write it down, and I will give it to the yard some days later. Additions are ready."

As she said that, she pressed Mrs. Wang's hand: "I know you love her, but it's not good for our girls in the Wang family to indulge in the love of their elders and live with the old lady and uncles. How can she make up her mind!" It's not enough to just stop the conversation, Mrs. Li continued: "This is also my whole heart."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang was still a little quick-witted, she clutched her chest and said, "Since I beat my Zhu'er, fortunately there are Lian'er and Baoyu, and Brother Feng is my own niece. I don't love them, who do I love?" It just rolled down, and only chanted Zhuerzhuer in his mouth.

Mrs. Li had no choice but to comfort her, not to mention the matter of the yard anymore.

Still traveling by car and sedan chair, when returning to Rongfu, Madam Li suddenly stopped and looked east when she was about to reach the Upper Court. Madam Xing did not think it was a big deal to see the excitement, so she pointed to an exposed eaves in the northeast direction and said: "Uncle, Madam, there is..."

Mrs. Wang hurried over to help her: "Sister-in-law, it's not good to keep the old lady waiting."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li suddenly brushed her hand off her wrist, and walked east along the road without saying a word.Mrs. Xing didn't try to persuade her either. She was also dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang for giving Jia Lian the yard where her aunt lived.It's just that Mrs. Xing herself will not stand up for Jia Lian, and now she is more happy to watch the show.

Mrs. Li is quite familiar with the second gate of the Rong Mansion, especially the courtyards behind the main courtyard where the eldest sister-in-law lives. She even knows the names.Mrs. Wang didn't know well because she didn't expect the second sister-in-law to know the Jia family's secret many years ago.Now this secret should be known to no one except the old lady, Nanny Lai and herself. I only hate that when she was young, she was taken aback by the horrific sight of death, so she confides a little bit to her elder brother.Who knows that the second brother not only guessed it but also told his sister-in-law, but how will she end up now?

Mrs. Wang was in a hurry: "Sister-in-law, this was originally our family's business, please tell me, isn't it embarrassing now?"

"Embarrassing!" Mrs. Li had already walked halfway, and turned to look at Mrs. Wang: "So that my sister will know that it was my sister who hit me in the face. In your house, how can I embarrass my sister!"

"Because Brother Feng is my own niece, and I am in charge of the family, it is not easy to favor her." Mrs. Wang blushed, but she was still stubborn: "Although this place is small, it is in a good place, away from the main courtyard and The upper houses are all close. Besides, I have had someone break through the wall, and I want to incorporate the houses on the side and the back, and it will not be too small by then."

Mrs. Li pointed to the room with half the door over there and smiled angrily: "I'm not that thoughtful, all I know is that this house was originally the residence of the old aunt of my in-law's great-grandfather!" Whether the central axis is straight or not, it is still the most unlucky place.

At this moment, Mrs. Li was also angry with her brother-in-law Jia Zheng. She didn't believe that he didn't know anything about it. Otherwise, the half-la yard had been the residence of the aunt who gave birth to meritorious service in the Rongguo Mansion for two lifetimes. Why didn't he ask his concubine Aunt Zhao to live in it? ?

It's just that this time Mrs. Li is really wrong to blame her brother-in-law, Mr. Husband.It was because Aunt Zhao urged him to move into this small courtyard, and Mrs. Wang knew about the wind blowing by the pillow, so Mrs. Wang came up with the stupid way to ask Jia Lian and his wife to live in it.Others don't know that this courtyard is unlucky, but they all know that this courtyard is special: one of the aunts who were able to live here before had children, and the other is that several aunts later promoted them to become noble concubines.Mrs. Wang really couldn't bear the master's desire to promote a lowly concubine to be the second wife, so she used the young couple as a raft and occupied the place before Jia Zheng could speak.

"This house is for people to live in. Is it possible that the predecessors lived in it and the future generations can't use it? Today, the study of the Grand Master is still the place where the ancestors used to stable. Because our descendants enjoy peace, we can't use such a big stable, Grand Master. So it was pushed to rebuild...how can Brother Feng not be able to live?" Mrs. Wang still refused to let go

These words seemed to be well-founded, Mrs. Li looked at her and nodded: "You are fine." After saying that, she turned back to Rongqing Hall.

Mrs. Xing was watching the excitement from a distance, and she was happy for a while before they reconciled, so she couldn't help but feel bored.

When they arrived at the banquet, everyone could see that the uncle and wife were angry. She and Jia's mother were sitting opposite each other. The second daughters, Jia Yingchun and Jia Baoyu, were both present. In the past, Mrs. Li had to be humble, and then when the two wives returned to the scene, Jia Mu would let her sit down.But this time Mrs. Xing offered tea to Jia Mu without mentioning it, and Mrs. Li took the tea from Mrs. Wang without looking at her, not even a word of humility.

But Mrs. Li and others are always talking and laughing at Yanyan, and taking care of Yingchun and Baoyu, and they don't talk until dinner, so that Jia Mu has no chance to let the two wives sit down.

After dinner, she chatted with Jiamu about the family affairs for a while, until Jiamu was tired, and then she said goodbye and went home.

"Is it ready?" Mrs. Li asked Du Yun'an.

Du Yunan nodded, yes, although Mrs. Li didn't go to the small courtyard just now, she still ordered Du Yunan and others to measure the house.

Mrs. Wang's face turned purple, knowing that Mrs. Li couldn't turn back when she was angry, she felt a little angry at others, and even Du Yun'an hated it even more.

"Little sister, let's stay. In half a month, your brother and I will send someone to deliver the furniture to decorate." Mrs. Li looked at the size written on the paper with an indifferent expression.

"They are all girls from our Wang family. My younger sister is naturally closer, but Brother Feng has been raised under our knees for many years, and your brother is also half of his own in his heart." After speaking, no matter what Madam Wang said, he got in the car and called home.

----

There were five or six carriages in a row, and in the green curtained carriage where Du Yunan was at the back, Ruiyun looked at the list and said, "According to me, the madam is a little weird, what my aunt said is not wrong."

Le'er sneered: "It's not that cramped place you live in, you will naturally say it! It doesn't matter who it was originally for, I just hate that such a place can't even be used by the people who serve the girl!"

Rui Yunfang regretted that he had made a mistake, and when he heard this, he was very rude, and his heart grew furious, and he refused to bow his head even more: "My aunt has already said that I want to incorporate other houses."

"Although the aunt said it well, it has been less than three months since the girl came out of the cabinet. At this time, the wall has not been pushed down and rebuilt? I am afraid that the old lady in this mansion will move in as soon as possible after the girl passes the door. At that time, our girl will be able to call again. If you can’t start the project, you have to suffer from being dumb.” Lian Ping’er opened his mouth and frowned back.

In fact, Du Yun'an said that Mrs. Li's evil fire is indeed weird, and she deliberately asked Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang to figure it out, as if she was grasping something.

It's just that the positions of the girls present are different. Ping'er and Le'er naturally thought that the small courtyard was their future residence, so they were not happy; Ruiyun's words were out of proportion, but they were serious.Du Yun'an was about to soften his words, but Bai Tan said before Ruiyun could not get off the stage, "Madam naturally has considerations. If nothing else, she only has a heart for Miss Feng, and my mother is just like that."

Bai Tan was the No.1 among the girls, once she opened her mouth, no one in the car dared to argue anymore.

No one in the car was on her side, Ruiyun looked angrily at Du Yun'an who was silent, and was disappointed that Bai had treated her well, and hated her for being cunning.

Later, Wang Ziteng found out and felt that his wife was making a big fuss, so he made the decision for her to give Jiamu and Baoyu an extra three points in the annual ceremony.He also said: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have told you about that."

Mrs. Li was annoyed, and annoyed him for being troublesome: "It's obvious that your elder sister's family is not kind, but now it seems that I have made a mistake."

Wang Ziteng supported Mrs. Li's shoulders, shook his head and smiled lightly: "According to Mrs. Li, there is no room for people to live in that palace - in all dynasties and dynasties, there is no palace without unjust deaths! I don't believe this, and there is no reason for Mrs. Li to suffer from such strange powers." The chaos made the relatives unhappy."

Mrs. Li just curled her lips: "The two generations of the Jia family are incompetent, and they still pretend to be superior to others! I thought Baoyu was smart, but his cleverness is all used in the inner curtain. I look old at the age of three. I'm afraid of the master." Bet on the wrong treasure."

Wang Ziteng was noncommittal, but shook his head and sighed: "My family has no successors, why do you say such a thing? I'll find out in the future, if the bet is right, the royal family can be preserved for two generations. If the bet is wrong... Heh, we have no one. Children and grandchildren, so what if you make a wrong bet!"

----

The third chapter of the original book writes that Sister Feng’s yard is “a small room.” In fact, Grandma Liu didn’t look too small when she first entered Rongguo Mansion, but it seemed a bit crowded compared to the housekeeper’s grandma’s own courtyard. .
