Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Lin Wanru said: "What's your name? Which sister are you following?"

The girl faltered and said nothing, Lin Wanru frowned, and said in a harsh tone, "Long Yan, go and tell Elder Sister Ping that we caught a thief."

The cage smoke was about to go, not only was the girl not afraid, she stood up and said, "I advise Miss Lin not to worry about this matter, you are not from the Jia family, and you are not afraid of people saying that you are meddling in other people's business, just save yourself." .”

The cage smoke stepped forward and stopped her: "Dare to talk back to the master? Whoever spoils you is better than the master."

Lin Wanru said: "Don't quarrel with her, just go back to Sister Ping, there is a happy event in the house today, although there are many people, but they all perform their duties, when the time comes to close the two doors, I don't believe she can intervene." She took off her wings and flew, and when she is found out, she may be light against the board, but I don’t think she is afraid, so let’s talk about what we are afraid of.”

Seeing that Lin Wanru's face turned cold and she looked serious, the girl was frightened. She knelt down and kowtowed, but took advantage of Lin Wanru's inattention and got up and ran away quickly. Ignore it, turn the corner and disappear.

Feeling strange, Lin Wanru ordered Long Yan: "Go and tell Sister Ping, don't be a thief." Long Yan hurriedly went.

Ping'er was called over by the cage smoke, and when she knew it, she also had a solemn face. First, she went back to Sister Feng's room to look. The little girl who guarded the door went to play somewhere, so Ping'er went into the inner room and came out: "All the important things are there, it doesn't look like a thief."

Lin Wanru said: "Today there are many people and things are complicated, sister should be more careful, if something is really missing, you can ask family by family."

Ping'er smiled and said: "It's thanks to the girl's carefulness, she reminded me when she saw it, otherwise I really don't know, these little girls are becoming more and more unruly, so I should take them out someday and teach them a good lesson." ,

Ping'er already knew about this, so he would naturally tell Sister Feng. Lin Wanru didn't ask any more questions, but Long Yan was worthless for Lin Wanru: "Even a little girl dares to talk to a girl like that, so it can be seen that the Jia family didn't put us in a good place." In my eyes, when the girl lived in the Chen family, it goes without saying to the girl, I am the girl's girl, and I will follow her, so how can I control the servants, I will show my superiority."

Lin Wanru smiled and said: "No matter how strict the discipline is, there are still naughty girls. You happened to meet her today, and there is nothing you can do about it, and you can't kill a boatload of people with one blow. Don't tell my aunt about this, tell her I'm also not happy." Long Yan responded with a pout.

As soon as Lin Wanru left, Ping'er's face turned cold, and he grabbed a little girl casually and told her: "Go to Second Mistress and tell her that something serious happened in the house, and tell her to come anyway, and then go to the kitchen to clean it. Feng'er was called, she is urging the banquet to serve food, don't worry about it, it's important to go home first."

The little girl saw that Ping'er, who was always kind, was also full of anger and coldly, so she hurriedly agreed.

After half a stick of incense, Sister Feng came back, and said displeasedly, "What day is it today? What important event must call me back."

Ping'er whispered in Sister Feng's ear, and Sister Feng frowned: "Did you catch him?"

Ping'er shook his head: "Miss Wanru saw it. The girl even said a few words and ran away. Miss Wanru called Long Yan and called me back. I just said that the little girl was naughty and fooled Miss Wanru. After the past, I knew that the matter was of great importance, so I invited grandma here."

Sister Feng frowned and said: "Find that little girl first, no matter who is in the yard, who dares to run around or rummage things, he will be killed immediately, and then I will find all the little girls who are in charge of the gate in this yard, one by one. Kneel under the eaves to break the porcelain pieces for me, if anyone is not convinced, immediately break her legs to see if they dare to run around."

Ping'er agreed, and first went to Xunfangzhai to find Longyan quietly and described the little girl's appearance.

Besides, on Yingchun's side, Bao Changling was sick in bed, and some red tapes of the wedding ceremony could be avoided. Yingchun worshiped alone and was sent to the new house. Her heart was half gray, and she secretly felt that her life was suffering, but she had an easy-going temperament, thinking that since she was already married, crying would not solve the problem, so she might as well take care of the Baochang Ling with peace of mind. Well, I don't have to be a widow myself.

Mrs. Bao saw the new daughter-in-law who was gentle and amiable, with a dignified appearance, and she was three points satisfied. Seeing that she took care of her son herself, she didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, she acted cautiously and behaved generously. For three minutes, I only asked the maids to take good care of the second young master and second mistress, and went out to greet the guests by myself.

As far as things in this world are concerned, there is no way to explain them. Everyone thinks that Chongxi is a dead horse and treated as a living horse doctor. Unexpectedly, Bao Changling woke up the second day after Yingchun's marriage. Although his body is weak, he is better than before. Unable to wake up, Mrs. Bao was as happy as something, and immediately sent someone to Jia's house to announce the good news. When Jia's mother found out, she breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly put two sticks of incense to thank the Buddha for his blessing.

She felt guilty about Yingchun, but now that Bao Changling is healed, she can be regarded as letting go of a big stone, and she is really happy.

After Baochang Ling woke up, a famous doctor gave her a prescription to take care of her body. Yingchun was gentle and considerate. Although she was a new wife, she decocted the medicine herself, helped Baochang Ling take the medicine, and even scrubbed her body without pretending to be someone else. The more Mrs. Bao looked at her, the more satisfied she became, and her dislike for Yingchun's status as a concubine also decreased by two points.

Because of Bao Changling's health, the original three-dynasty return was changed to a month. Over there, Bao Changling slowly recovered under the care of Yingchun, but a big storm was brewing in Jia's house.

The little girl who bumped into Lin Wanru on the day of the wedding was found. She was a third-class girl named Cai Ling in Mrs. Wang's yard.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in Sister Feng's yard that day, she stole a pair of gold bracelets from Ping'er's dowry. Two rubies the size of fingernails.

After Cailing was caught, Sister Feng was in a dilemma. If she were to deal with Cailing, she would have to tell Mrs. Wang that Cailing was a girl in Mrs. Wang's house. Isn't this a slap in the face? Ling locked herself up and took the bracelet to see Mrs. Wang, the two of them turned away the girl and whispered, and Sister Feng mentioned this matter tactfully.

Mrs. Wang's face was flushed red, she was half dead with anger, she immediately ordered Cailing to be beaten to death. There are people who are shallow, and my wife doesn't have to be angry with such people."

How could Mrs. Wang not be angry, dropped two teacups, and asked Sister Feng: "How did that girl get into your yard? Is there no one guarding your house?"

Sister Feng sighed and said: "It's my fault. It was so lively that day, and the little girls ran to watch the excitement. The two in my room were also newcomers. They didn't know the rules, so they closed the door and people ran away." Cailing stole something and came out of my yard, just bumped into Wanru, Wanru stared at Yansheng, asked a few words, but the girl dared to talk back, Madam, you said, this is too outrageous. "

Mrs. Wang said: "These new girls have not been trained, so they won't succeed in the end. If you want me to say, they should all be scolded in one place."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "there are hundreds of girls in the mansion. There are good ones and there are bad ones. After a long time, the master will be ruined. I have an idea. Madam, please listen to it. According to the rules, each The young master and girl in the room have a fixed number of girls, except for those big girls who are close-fitting, the rest have to be hammered hard. Since this happened today, it is guaranteed that it will happen tomorrow. It's impossible to guard against."

Mrs. Wang thought for a while, and said: "This matter is too big, you and Heping will make it together first, don't disturb the old lady, first investigate secretly, see if there is any unruly, bickering, all of them will be kicked out."

Sister Feng agreed, and went back to Ping'er to talk about it, but Ping'er disagreed: "The girls in this mansion are so intricate that they can be related to relatives. Why do grandma take on this job? It's not thankful for your efforts. If you find two people to be rafts, it will be a burden. The radish comes out with mud, if you gently peel it off, the wife will say that grandma is making a big fuss."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "I've made up my mind a long time ago. If you want me to say, the girls in this mansion are too indecent. They praise the high and trample the low, and form cliques. Some are more dignified than the master. Now don't care who it is, it's always We have to find someone who takes the lead first, and he always obeys his wife's order, and then his wife will be the one to make the decision." Sui Heping'er talked about the maids in each house.

On the East Mansion side, there are many concubines and concubines for the big house master, and there are many maids around him, and he is Sister Feng's father-in-law. It's over, and the remaining little girls who sweep the floor and run errands need to arrange other work, so they are not in a hurry.

On the other side of the second room, Baoyu's girl is the big head, the old lady rewarded it, the wife rewarded it, and there are a total of more than a dozen of them, except for Xiren, Qingwen, Sheyue, and Qiuwen, and the rest of Bihen, Besides running errands and passing on messages, these little girls in Tan Yun also spend their days chatting their teeth in the yard, so they need to be rectified.

The rest of Tanchun was serving books, Cuimo, Xiaochan, Ruhua, Caiping, Cai'er beside Xichun, Zijuan, Xueyan, Chunxian by Lin Daiyu, cage smoke by Lin Wanru, Suoyu, most of these people were For the personal service, Sister Feng just briefly checked the roster, but the rest of the little girls went through the list carefully.

Finally, ten girls were eliminated, and Sister Feng showed the list to Mrs. Wang: "Chui'er, Zhuan'er, Liang'er, and Jiahui are four girls who say they are Baoyu, but they serve Xiren, Qingwen and other big girls. I don’t do any work, don’t talk about it, and I’m still quarreling. I thought about sending it out. First, it would save these people’s food and monthly money. A few of them are all little girls who run errands in the courtyard of the three sisters Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun, and they are all competitive, so it's easy to kick them out."

Mrs. Wang looked at her and nodded, and said: "Baoyu is getting old too, and I don't need so many girls around me. It's good to send them out. As for the little girls in the girls' rooms, I won't make up for them for now. I'll wait until the new girls are trained. Fill."

Sister Feng agreed with a smile, and showed Mrs. Wang the list of the newly picked little girl: "I think it's better to find an empty house to settle in first, and ask Zhou Rui's family to teach the rules for a while." Mrs. Wang also thought it was good. .
