You're Crossing the Red Mansions

Chapter 2 Restoring Family Prestige

Yindie brought in a few little girls who had just cut their hair, carrying a red lacquer box to serve You Xiaoxiao's dinner.You Xiaoxiao saw that they had moved the kang table, put down the gold silk bowls and chopsticks with fine cotton handkerchiefs, and opened the food boxes one by one after everything was ready. , a plate of smoked sausage mixed with green bamboo shoots, a bowl of honey sauce, a plate of wolfberry sprouts with sesame salt, a bowl of lion head in white sauce, a plate of shredded chicken in spicy oil, a plate of vegetarian fried amaranth, a bowl of fermented bean curd meat, and a plate of sauce Beef, and a large bowl of fragrant rice, plus some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and red bean rolls.

You Xiaoxiao fell into a coma for a few days, and was already hungry, but after seeing these sweet and greasy snacks, she lost her appetite. Because she hadn't eaten for a few days, she didn't dare to eat rashly, so she just asked: "Is there any porridge?" Yindie Guessing what she was thinking, she hurriedly replied: "There are freshly cooked wonton noodles in chicken soup." You Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Order the kitchen to bring a bowl." A little girl hurriedly agreed and went.

You Xiaoxiao saw that the table was full, and smiled at Yindie: "You have worked hard all day, eat with me." Yindie hurriedly said: "I don't dare." You Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Why dare you?" Yes, I can't finish eating so many dishes anyway, if you accompany me, I will enjoy it too."

After hearing the words, Yindie no longer evades, and carefully leans half of her body and sits on the side of the couch, serving You Xiaoxiao's soup and vegetables.Seeing that the little girls who were waiting were still young, You Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it, and said: "Today, I will reward you with a meal from sister Yindie, so go eat and come back later." The little girls After hearing this, he left happily.According to the rules in the mansion, these third-class little girls usually only have one vegetable and one soup, which is composed of cabbage and bean sprouts. How can Sister Yindie eat two meat and two vegetables decently.

"Why are you the only one serving here today? Where are they?" You Xiaoxiao asked while drinking the soup slowly.According to You Xiaoxiao's division, at least there must be two big girls by her side, not to mention other second- and third-class girls.Now there is only Yindie left, although she has a generous temper, she can't let the people below break the rules.As the saying goes, you can't talk about food, but it's all fake appearances to deceive outsiders. It's hard for the whole family to get together during dinner, and it's time to take advantage of the excitement.

Hearing this, Yindie put down her chopsticks, lowered her head and replied, "Master has been in so much grief these past few days, and he can't eat anything, so they went to serve." You Xiaoxiao nodded, sighed, and said with all her heart: "Yindie , look at the whole house, I only have you as a caring person." Yindie felt sore, knowing that You Xiaoxiao was not easy, and blamed those big girls for letting down the trust and support of grandma, and only flattering grandma and grandma Seriously ill, she was the only one left on the couch, running back and forth, and no one was waiting by her side all the time. It was all because the grandma was usually generous. At this time, she picked up Qiao Zong'er and ran away, leaving her behind. Lost a face.

The two masters and servants ate in silence with their own thoughts. Suddenly, they saw Sister Feng supporting Ping'er, followed by Feng'er, who came to Sheng's house, and several other housekeepers walked in slowly, lifting the green and white lotus pattern curtain.Yindie was agile, she got up early and called out: "Hello, Second Mistress Lian."

Hearing this, You Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her, she leaned casually on the woven cotton pillow, and forced a smile, "I'm not feeling well, auntie has been working hard these days."

Sister Feng came forward in three steps and made two steps, persuading: "What is the sister-in-law talking about! The whole family is a close relative, and it should be done. Now, I just heard that my sister-in-law is in better health, so I hurriedly asked them to buy some incense from Xifu The fried quail is not sticky at all, it is good to eat with porridge, and it can regulate the spleen and stomach." After finishing speaking, Feng'er hurriedly presented a vermilion lacquered flat wooden food box, and then retreated neatly.

You Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "Auntie is too much trouble." Sister Feng sat down and asked her about her diet and daily life, and exchanged pleasantries for a long time.Just now, a few women came to ask about this and that, Sister Feng was full of complacency, and dismissed as usual, You Xiaoxiao persuaded her a few words, but she refused to leave.Only then did You Xiaoxiao realize that she was here to show off her prestige, and she was extremely impatient, but she was not easy to turn her face, only to hear Sister Feng laugh again: "I have been here for a few days, and my sister-in-law also knows that I am young and can't be a big deal. Thanks to the help of those who came to the Sheng family and all the sisters, I was able to figure out the clues."

People who came to Sheng's family usually bowed quickly after hearing the words: "This is the second grandma's reputation." You Xiaoxiao calmly looked at the people who came to Sheng's family, and saw the two of them coming and going like this, Clearly not taking himself seriously, he said, "It's very good. My aunt will often come to sit with the people who came to Sheng's house when I go to the house." Said: "I told you to clean out this room a long time ago, you girl is just lazy! I'm not dead yet, who is going to wear the house full of white flowers!"

As soon as these words came out, Sister Feng's face turned pale and red.She was originally dressed in a plain white jacket, but she also wore silver ornaments all over her hair. Because Jia Zhen had promised her the power of housekeeper, and seeing that Jia Zhen cherished Keqing so much, she gave her niece and daughter-in-law a filial piety, which was a return of love.You Xiaoxiao is well aware of her personality, and even saves up the girls' monthly odds and ends to release loan sharks. No one in the Xifu knows that Lian's second grandma has always had a temper of plucking wild goose. Extravagant and huge expenses, I don't know how much money went into her own pocket.

Sister Feng was choked up by You Xiaoxiao's two words of accusations against Sang and Huai. She was always articulate, relying on her good background and the favor of her ancestors, she always loved without mercy, and even her decent husband was suppressed. Sluggish.Because You Xiaoxiao came from a small family and was a second wife, she had to overwhelm her everywhere.

Now that Youshi has changed his core, he is still as good-natured as before.At any rate, Ningguo Mansion is a serious long house, and Jia Zhen took over the title and is the head of the patriarch. Although in Rongguo Mansion it is said that Jia pardoned the title, everyone knows that the old lady loves Baoyu. As for the eldest grandson Jia Lian who lives in the small side room, It's hard to say what the future will look like.

The person who came to Sheng's house saw that the situation was not good, and a thin layer of sweat could not help but float on his body.She followed her ancestors and worked as a housekeeper for several lifetimes in the mansion. She was a spirit born out of hard work, and her knowledge was naturally different from that of ordinary people.Although Grandma Zhen is not a showy person, since she came into the mansion, although she has not handled a few things, she cannot be easily fooled.Second Mistress Lian was only in charge of affairs for a while, and she was not the immediate master, so Grandma Lian must not offend her.The person who came to Sheng's house hurriedly knelt down and said, "It's because the servants didn't take care of them well. Why bother Miss Yindie to do it herself, I'll send the wives over right away."

"I'm tired, so I'll take good care of your Second Mistress Lian." You Xiaoxiao changed her smile again as she spoke, caressing Sister Feng's hand affectionately and said, "My sister loves me a little bit anyway, let's work hard for a few more days." It's not good, it's not good, it's not good, I gritted my teeth and said: "Sister-in-law, let's rest." Yindie sent a group of people out, You Xiaoxiao looked at the room as deserted and clear as a snow cave, and couldn't help but frowned again.

The author has something to say: Yindie is a good girl!
