Dowry maid's daily life [Red Mansion]

"Give it to me?" Daiyu didn't expect to need her help like this. After thinking about it, Miss Lin agreed, and said, "Thank you, grandma."

Even Sister Feng was taken aback for a moment, then laughed quickly and said, "The mandarin duck is very good, the ancestor loves my sister."

Mother Jia wanted to settle the matter early, so she immediately ordered Yuanyang to pack up her clothes, hairpins, and makeup box in her private house, so that she could go with Miss Lin today.Yuanyang was grateful and reluctant. She had just heard the words of Second Grandma Bao that Hu Po secretly told, and she didn't know how to deal with herself. I had a happy ending that I couldn't even imagine, and immediately burst into tears.Tired of talking, Jiamu turned to the back and still asked Yuanyang to serve for the last time. There were only two masters and servants left in the warm pavilion. I don't know what to say and what to reward.The other first-class maids, Amber and Jade, packed the cages for the mandarin ducks with their own hands. Many daughter-in-laws and maids who had made friends with the mandarin ducks or received her favors heard about this, and either came or entrusted others to send many things as souvenirs, etc. elaborate.

The upper courtyard was in a hurry. Sister Feng and Daiyu said goodbye and went to Sister Feng's Dangui Garden.

As soon as she entered the main room, the eldest sister who could already walk rushed up, her little arms like lotus root joints were stretched out, and her two calves were pounding so fast that Daiyu jumped, and hurriedly reached out to catch up with her.

She just came in, she was still far away, and seeing that she couldn't make it in time, she suddenly saw a pair of thin white hands embracing the elder sister who ran too fast and fell forward from behind, and the elder sister grabbed the man's red fairy skirt.

Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, but was taken aback when she looked over, the beauty in the red dress who caught up was none other than Qingwen.

Sister Feng was a step behind Daiyu, but she didn't seem to be worried that her eldest sister would fall. Seeing that Daiyu was stunned, she smiled: "This sister of mine must have been reincarnated from a monkey. Both her nurses lost a lot of weight due to exhaustion! Thanks to Qingwen's cleverness, she can restrain her, so it's all good."

The two teased the eldest sister for a while. After all, the eldest sister was young and became sleepy after eating a bowl of rice oil and milk. He stopped him and said, "don't be too busy. You said you wanted to find an old man with good fortune to give your sister a name. I just met such an old man. I asked her for advice. She gave her a nickname. .”

As he said that, he took out a talisman made of yellow paper and handed it over: "As you wish, Grandma Liu is from a peasant household. The old man is 75 this year. She is very knowledgeable and a person who repays kindness. Since she and her son-in-law After the family lives together, not only the housework is in order, but even the affairs are prosperous, this family is very good... Sister Feng, take a look, do you like it?"

Xifeng's heart became hot when she said it, and she hurriedly took the yellow talisman, and saw the word "Qiaojie" written on it, the handwriting was not pretty, but it could be seen that it was neatly written with care.

It turned out that although this elder sister is lively and rarely suffers from illness, she is prone to night terrors when she sleeps. She asked someone to call her several times but failed.I sent someone to ask Taoist Zhang, saying that my sister's horoscope is lighter and she is easy to hit people, so I asked to find a substitute or recognize a poor or moral godmother to suppress her.

Wang Xifeng was frightened by Jia Baoyu's sending her name to her godmother, Ma Daopo, and refused to recognize her daughter as a godmother who didn't know her background.As for the double, it's hard to say, Jia's family doesn't have a nun temple, so how to place the double is also troublesome. As for the deep-rooted Shuiyue nunnery, it's not a good place.After acquiring the entire Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifengxiang checked all the accounts, and found that the mansion had donated a lot of money and food from the nun's temple nicknamed Mantouan, which exceeded the view of Qingxu. After careful investigation, I found out that the aunt Jingxu in the temple conspired with Yu Xinjia, the housekeeper, to deceive Mrs. Wang.

Not only that, but the mantou nunnery is full of filth, the old aunt often cheats and kidnaps some girls to become monks, but she doesn't have the heart to save people from difficulties. While working, he took them in and out of the homes of believers to make offerings, and I didn't know what they did in private.Although Wang Xifeng ordered to cut off the supply of such a dirty place, but after all, the steamed bun nunnery is not suitable for tearing down her temple, and the sister-in-law Jingxu Zhitong is not willing to give up, how dare Wang Xifeng take her daughter's house? The substitute was sent there to practice.Just thinking about it makes Wang Xifeng feel sick.So there was this matter of entrusting Daiyu.

Sister Feng thought that Daiyu always lived in a village in the suburbs of Beijing for a few months a year, and naturally knew many more farmers than herself, so she asked her to help find a grandmother from the village to give the eldest sister a nickname. , Borrowing someone's longevity, and the name given by the old man who has suffered from poverty in his life, can also suppress the child's horoscope.

"Grandma Liu said that the eldest sister's birthday is too coincidental, and the name "Qiaojie" is to fight poison with poison. If she obeys her, my sister will live a long life, and even if there is a bump, she will die and become auspicious. It's all "Qiaoqiao" It's a good life." Daiyu said.

Xifeng was really overjoyed, Sister Lin found the right person, and the name she chose was more to her liking, so she thanked her again and again, and solemnly took a purse made by herself, put the yellow talisman in it with her own hands, and gave it to her. Miss Qiao brings it.

Immediately ordered: "My sister has a name, called 'Qiaojie', and everyone in the family will call her by this name in the future." And let the nanny take good care of it, watch the purse containing the yellow talisman, and take it off for her when she sleeps Put it under your pillow and take it with you when you wake up.

When Qingwen heard this, she felt familiar, and suddenly her heart trembled: Isn't this exactly how the psychic jade was treated by Second Master Bao.

Sister Feng sent Ping'er generation four kinds of thank you gifts, and sent an appropriate person to Grandma Liu tomorrow, thanking her for her troubles and so on.

After finishing talking about this, Daiyu said with a smile: "You just said that you have one thing to entrust to me. Is it this one? I have already done it. How can Sister Feng thank me?"

Xifeng smiled and said, "Yes and no, actually there is another one."

Turn around and raise your voice to call Qingwen.When Qingwen came out from the west room, Sister Feng pulled her over and said, "Kowtow to you, Miss Lin."

Lin Daiyu was surprised and called to stop her.Xuelu helped Qingwen up and saw that her face was full of tears. Afraid of hindering her face, the girls quietly led the people out, leaving only three in the hall.

Seeing no one there, Xifeng said, "It's also a coincidence, and because of Xinbao's second grandma over there, I should have entrusted the mandarin duck to you first, but the old lady entrusted the mandarin duck to you first."

She shook her head, looking down on Fu Qiufang: "What kind of person is this grandma Fu, you should have known from the old lady just now. She is also virtuous, but virtuous is more than that! It's not that The virtuousness of the eldest wife who is obedient and four-virtuous, but the virtuousness that is dedicated to her house! You saw her begging for a mandarin duck for the ancestor's ladder today, but you don't know that this is not the first one, it is far more than that, Qingwen The girl is one."

"Qingwen's needlework is well-known, comparable to that of Da Nei's embroidered mother palace. But this dexterity is really a disaster, not a blessing. What do you think, this is a good idea from Second Grandma Bao. Baoyu wanted Qingwen to go back, and promoted her to be a first-class girl, because of her work-it turned out that a table screen that Qingwen had left in that room was watched by this grandma, but it was only the size of a round fan. She knew that a piece of double-sided embroidery could be sold for hundreds of silver outside... Everyone knows that kind of skill is rare, but it is really labor-intensive and eye-catching. It took Qingwen girl a month's work to finish the small piece. That girl rested for the whole winter, and at that time she was reprimanded as "the horizontal needle does not twist, the vertical line does not move". She thought it was such an easy task? Mrs. Fu doesn't care about these things, this girl is also stupid, listen After receiving Baoyu's soft words, although he didn't go back, he took over the work there. Okay? He embroidered a kang screen again as if risking his life. I went to Shangfeng to please. However, there is not enough people, so I will send another one after this one is over."

Qingwen has already burst into tears,

Sobbing.

Sister Feng's chest heaved in anger: "This girl's eyes are about to bleed. I couldn't bear it anymore until I told Ping'er that I found out! I borrowed her from the old lady and told her to make clothes for Sister Qiao. Then I asked the doctor to look at her eyes. The doctor said it was very dangerous. If we were so tired, we would be blind within five years. We were scared! I called Baoyu and asked him if he knew about him. The daughter-in-law assigned Qingwen so much work, do you know that girl Qingwen is going blind, guess what Baoyu said?"

Daiyu's eyes were already red, and she raised Qingwen's face to look closely at her eyes. There were still traces of fumigation and plaster on those smiling eyes, which showed that they were not fully healed yet.

Wang Xifeng smiled sarcastically: "Baoyu started crying at that time, and the tears fell like rain, saying, 'Sister Qingwen, I'm late', but at this moment, Second Grandma Bao asked him to go back, and I told girl Qingwen to shut up Go and see what Baoyu wants to do. This Fu family is also amazing. No one can match that kind of gentle demeanor and considerate feelings. Baoyu is warmed by this spring breeze and seems to be soft-hearted. This, who was not willing to part with that grievance, didn't say anything in front of Mrs. Fu, but followed him back."

As Sister Feng said, she glanced at Qingwen: "It's reasonable to teach a wife behind this, but it's not what we expected. The second grandma Bao really got his pulse, and there are soft and hard ones. Obedient and obedient, the queen has nothing to say, and this Fu family sent someone to urge Qingwen to do her work. In the next month, Baoyu came to see me a few times, and said many good things from the bottom of my heart, but what's the matter? Useful! He is already a married adult, and he has no responsibility at all, which really makes me look down on him from now on!"

In front of Daiyu, Sister Wang Feng didn't hide her disdain for Jia Baoyu at all, that's what she thought in her heart!What did Baoyu do?According to his actions, if she hadn't borrowed Qingwen, this girl would be so arrogant, and she would really put her life into it. I'm afraid Baoyu would not be able to do anything. When Qingwen died, he would cry a few more times, or secretly Paying homage and writing some sour poems to confess is over.It doesn't help, and most of these things he does are for his own comfort, really cowardly and useless.

But it happened that he had spoiled all the girls in the house by being a little fugitive in the past. After Mrs. Fu entered the door, many actions made those "deputy ladies" complain endlessly, but these people were also stupid. The kindness that was not suitable for food and clothing has endured.For example, Xiren, Mrs. Fu has only been married for more than half a year, and she looks much older, and her complexion is not as good as before.

Fortunately, there is another one here who understands.Sister Feng looks at Qingwen.

Qingwen clearly heard Sister Feng's words, but she refused to vomit a word for Baoyu. It was obvious that she was really discouraged.

Speaking of this, Daiyu also understood the embarrassment here.

No matter what, Mrs. Fu is the master's grandma who is fair and righteous, and Qingwen is always a girl. Why doesn't the girl refuse to do the work assigned by the master?It is now that Sister Feng has reached out to help, but it is not a long-term solution after all.

Miss Lin has nine openings in her heart and is also a straightforward person. She immediately said: "Sister, give me her body deed, and she will be mine from now on."

Unexpectedly, Qingwen shook her head, knelt down and begged: "Miss Lin, I want to vote for Miss Du!" What kind of slave master, as long as she can do it, she will use it.Qingwen doesn't want to be a slave anymore, she wants to live a dignified life as a human being.

Daiyu didn't like it when she heard it. She thought about it, nodded and smiled, "That's right. I got Sister Yuanyang, so the eldest sister and the second sister should naturally have a good person."

"You go to the eldest sister." Daiyu deliberately let the atmosphere relax, and said with a smile: "Second sister is still missing someone! Why don't sister Feng give Ping'er to us?"

"Bah!" Sister Feng spat, "Shang Ping'er will go out next spring, and the house he has settled on is the son of a wealthy gentry in the suburbs of Beijing. How can he go to Liaodong?"
