You're Crossing the Red Mansions

Seeing Wenhua's proud face, Yindie followed the uncle triumphantly, so she couldn't help but spit.You Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Isn't this used to you? You're getting more and more childish." Yindie pouted and said, "Isn't this servant trying to vent her anger on grandma? It's hard to come here last night, and today I was caught by that girl again. The hoof hooked away." You Xiaoxiao just smiled, and then nodded her forehead, "Forget it, don't show up in the future."

There was nothing to say for a while, and the winter was short, so You Xiaoxiao didn't dare to take a nap, because she saw that the waxy purple purse on Jia Zhen's body was getting old, so she did needlework in the house.Since she was a child, she liked embroidery and needlework. Yindie sketched the pattern and handed it over. She chose a color and embroidered it with a few stitches. "I'll make a draft first, and when Qiaomei comes back, I'll send her to do it." Yindie moved her eyes eagerly and said with a smile: "I don't usually see grandma's embroidery work, but now it looks like it's top-notch."

Hearing her compliment, You Xiaoxiao felt happier. She had all kinds of silks and satins and embroidery threads in all colors. She would practice her hands first, and when it was time for delicate work, she would cut a piece of clothes for the old lady of Xifu and send it to her.The master in the east mansion didn't care about things, the wife left early, and the old lady in the west mansion was so powerful that no one would dare not listen to what she said, so she might as well try to sell her a favor, in case Jia Zhen got messed up and had an elder to back her up.I think that Sister Feng is the first-class shrewdness, knowing how to make the old lady happy, and the old lady will make the decisions when big things happen.However, Sister Feng is short-sighted after all, and she still has a serious mother-in-law under her head, no matter how much she looks down on her, she should be filial, after all, she will have a long time to eat under her hands.

Here, the master and the servant are doing their jobs one after another, sometimes joking a few words.As soon as it got dark, Yindie quietly went to call Jin Sanxi's family.

You Xiaoxiao rubbed her dry eyes, turned her stiff neck, glanced in the mirror, brushed her temple hair, took off the emerald hairpin, found a eight-treasure hairpin inlaid with peach blossom gold and east beads, and put it on. Sitting on the front seat, holding a round hazelnut in his hand, he was thoughtful.

I saw Yindie came in with a middle-aged servant woman with a peaceful face. Because she came in a hurry, although she changed into a white mourning dress, the cloth shoes underneath were not hemmed, but the white chrysanthemum had been removed from her hair, and a plum-blossom brass Chai is a man who knows the rules.

"Yindie, let your sister-in-law Jin sit down." You Xiaoxiao first took her three points in her heart, and her face became more amiable.Jin Sanxi's family greeted You Xiaoxiao, and sat down on the footrest.

Yindie took the tureen and poured the newly brewed wolfberry tea, and Jin Sanxi's family hurriedly stood up and took it carefully, saying: "How dare you bother sister Yindie." You Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "You are the housekeeper at home , she is a girl, she should."

Jin Sanxi's family smiled and said: "Sister next to Grandma, how dare we work." You Xiaoxiao smiled without saying a word, bowed her head and took a sip of tea.Yindie went out early to guard the door.Jin Sanxi's family also knew something in their hearts, and they knew that the grandma's secret request must be something important to discuss.

"Your man and grandpa often go out, what are the two boys in the family busy with?" You Xiaoxiao saw that she was cautious and didn't say much, so she asked with a smile.

"Back to grandma, the older of the two boys in my family is with Brother Rong, and the second boy works in the stables and usually takes care of the livestock for the men." Jin Sanxi's family secretly glanced at You Xiaoxiao's face, and added: "Brother Rong There are four boys by my side, one from our family, one from the Sheng family, one from the rich family, and one from the noble family."

You Xiaoxiao thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Your second kid isn't too young, is he?"

Jin Sanxi's family nodded and said: "It's a year behind the big boy, and he's as old as the kid from your family."

You Xiaoxiao nodded and said: "I've made the decision, your second boy doesn't have to go to the stables from now on, come and change with your boy." Seeing Jin Sanxi's family's grateful face, she said politely: "This has always wronged you Well, the son of the dignified inner mansion's second housekeeper was put in the stable. You don't need to say it, I understand it in my heart, don't worry, I can see the filial piety of you and the man. Speaking of which, compared with others in our mansion, it's nothing. It’s not big, but it’s not too small in a middle-class family. There are more than a hundred people in the whole house, old and young, and the responsibilities of the housekeeper and the housekeeper are also big. Now I see that there are not enough people for this job. The distribution is not fair, in the future, with me, I will not let you suffer..."

The members of Jin Sanxi's family were too touched by You Xiaoxiao's heart-to-heart words, and seeing You Xiaoxiao's support, they quickly knelt down and said, "Today, the family of four slaves will serve the master wholeheartedly because of the favor of the grandma."

You Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "Get up quickly." After finishing speaking, she smiled again: "You also know that I have been out of business for a long time. It's good for me to watch Rong's daughter-in-law do things coldly, but it's just that I am so kind, I will inevitably indulge my slave. Now "Brother Rong will have to work for a year to continue, I didn't want to be a housekeeper, but you see, for such a big event, the second daughter-in-law of Xifu Lian was invited over, so there is no need for people to discuss that there is no one in our house."

Jin Sanxi's family hurriedly said: "Where is there such a short-sighted person... It's just that our family will be more prosperous if the grandma is in charge from now on."

You Xiaoxiao nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, I said this to my heart. After you follow me, you will understand my temperament. I will take care of those who are dedicated to master, and I will not treat you badly. But Don't blame me for not showing affection if you have betrayed the Lord. Can you listen carefully?"

The members of Jin Sanxi's family kowtowed solemnly: "The servant will definitely not be worthy of the master's great kindness." Seeing this, You Xiaoxiao waved her hand, and Jin Sanxi's family came closer.You Xiaoxiao lowered her voice and said: "First thing, you are now the second steward of the inner mansion, and you should be in charge of the counting room and the kitchen directly. When Second Grandma Lian leaves, you go directly to seal the counting room. Who knows If so, you let her come to me. The second thing is to find a reliable person, and first change the head of my small kitchen. That’s all right, you go now.” Jin Sanxi’s family responded yes , saluted and went out.

Night falls and stars rise into the sky.Yindie asked You Xiaoxiao where to pass the dinner.You Xiaoxiao said that she was not very hungry, so she just ordered a bowl of porridge to be brought over.Yindie went out and told the little girl outside the door that she was going to come in to serve her.Suddenly, Peifeng and Kailuan came with a group of maids and servants.

After listening to Yindie's words, You Xiaoxiao moved to the front hall and sat there waiting for the concubines to come to say hello.

Although Peifeng and Kailuan were both wearing plain satin jackets, they were wearing pink brocade shoes with vermilion powder on their feet.These two people were originally maids brought by Youshi when he married into Ningguo Mansion, but they were taken over by Jia Zhen, and Youshi promoted them to become aunts.When Peifeng and Kaiyuan met You Xiaoxiao, they first gave a big gift, and then flattered: "Grandma was not feeling well a while ago, and the servants didn't dare to disturb, for fear of disturbing the peace. Hearing that Grandma is in better health, the slaves hurried over to serve her."

You Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "You guys are filial." She didn't ask to sit down, and she didn't even serve a cup of tea.Peifeng and Kailuan couldn't help but look at each other when they saw that she didn't respond well.

"It just so happened to pass on the dinner, you two can eat here." You Xiaoxiao glanced at their expressions, lowered her head and took a sip of tea.How dare Peifeng and Kailuan say no.In the past, Youshi was good-natured, so he didn't need concubines to serve meals.Now that he opened his mouth, the two concubines obeyed obediently.

Those who came to the rich family personally brought people into the house and set meals one by one.You Xiaoxiao couldn't help frowning, but said nothing.First, there was a large bowl of steaming glutinous rice and lily porridge. Because Yindie ordered it to be light, I only served four plates of stir-fried seasonal vegetables and a little sesame oil.Peifeng stands on the left side to spread the chopsticks, and Kai Yuan scoops porridge on the right side.The rest of the people waited outside in complete silence.You Xiaoxiao slowly ate half a bowl, only took some green bamboo shoots and put them on the chopsticks, "The porridge is well cooked today, you can eat it while it's hot." Peifeng and Kailuan stood for a long time, listening to You Xiaoxiao's orders, Fang Confession sat down.

"You all went out from my side, so just speak up if you have anything to say." You Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing secretly when she saw that the two of them had finished their meal and were procrastinating and refusing to leave.

"My maidservant begs grandma to be the master!" Peifeng and Kailuan looked at each other first, then knelt down and cried together, "Grandma, since Wenhua came into the house, uncle..." The two choked and babbled for a long time.You Xiaoxiao knew from the beginning that it was all dirty things of jealousy, but she didn't stop her, and let them vent.Searching the past memories in his mind, these two concubines are considered honest and obedient. Although they also committed the crime of disobeying Youshi when they were proud, it was not a big one.Nowadays, Wenhua's limelight is the same all the time, and Jia Zhen has always been a lover of the new and dislikes the old. From the blue sky to the underworld, it is no wonder that these two delicate concubines are wronged in every possible way.

"Okay, I understand everything." You Xiaoxiao said, "You two get up first, what are you doing like this?" Peifeng and Kai Yuan wiped their tears and sat on the twig as promised, not daring to say much.Just as You Xiaoxiao was about to speak, she suddenly saw a pair of black silk mille-soled men's shoes exposed from under the curtain, so she immediately changed the subject, and even her voice became a little weaker: "You guys were wrong about this matter. We all went into the mansion without any excuses." Serving the uncle, now that Wen Hua makes the Lord happy, we can only be grateful, if there are any complaints like this, let’s all go back, respect the Lord, it is our duty to serve the Lord. In another day, I will give you the doctor when he comes in It's been so long since I checked the pulse well, and I haven't given birth to a son and a half daughter yet, so I'm worried."

Peifeng and Kailuan originally pointed at You Xiaoxiao's ability to reprimand Wenhua, but they didn't expect that after the reprimand, they would make themselves ashamed, so they didn't dare to say more at the moment, they just nodded in agreement.You Xiaoxiao yawned, and then said with a smile: "In the future, remember your duty, and everything is going well at home, go back and rest, sleep more tomorrow morning, don't come here to set rules in front of me." Peifeng, Kai Luan thanked grandma, saluted, and slowly withdrew.As soon as the curtain was lifted, I saw Jia Zhen standing at the door, and they all greeted each other. In the past, she would be coquettish and pedantic to solicit a few words, but today she was warned by You Xiaoxiao, and she left obediently.

Jia Zhen listened to You Xiaoxiao's admonition to the concubine, and she meant to be considerate of the overall situation, so she couldn't help but look at it differently, and felt ironic in her heart.Since she came in with a smile on her face, You Xiaoxiao hurriedly greeted her, Jia Zhen waved her to sit down, and she also picked up a chair from the bottom to sit down, and said with a smile: "When you are safe, you can take care of the affairs of the house." , only a few housekeepers are not decent."

You Xiaoxiao personally served tea to him, and politely declined: "Now that the uncle is in charge of the house, I think it's very good." She knew in her heart that Jia Zhen had always acted recklessly, and was good at grasping power. No one depends.

Jia Zhen smiled and said: "Forget it, there's no need to push it...the affairs in the inner mansion should also be cleaned up, it's so out of order." You Xiaoxiao lowered her head and thought to herself, a while ago she begged Sister Feng to be the director, I'm afraid he is also the same I'm so overwhelmed, so it doesn't seem like a temptation, it's better to take it with the flow.
