You're Crossing the Red Mansions

It was night and the two of them rested without mentioning it.In the early morning of the second day, someone outside the house reported that Brother Rong had returned.You Xiaoxiao changed into a emerald blue satin flowered jacket inlaid with rosin, a stone blue flowered skirt, and a silver fox fur and light yellow trimmed waistcoat. She waited on Jia Zhen to freshen up, and then went to the meeting hall to sit together.

Jia Rong is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with a handsome face and a handsome figure, but his clothes are a little disheveled and his expression is tired.After meeting Jia Zhen and You Xiaoxiao, Jia Zhen asked a few simple questions in the manner of an old man, and Jia Rong answered respectfully.

You Xiaoxiao laughed secretly in her heart, the son in Jia's mansion saw that I was a mouse touching a cat, and he was terrified.Even so, seeing their father's kindness and son's filial appearance, they didn't have any grudges against each other, You Xiaoxiao couldn't help feeling a little emotional when thinking of Qin Keqing.

Jia Rong stood down and answered honestly. Jia Zhen just nodded and said nothing.Hearing that Sister Feng and Baoyu were going to stay in Mantou Nunnery for an extra night, You Xiaoxiao was sober in her heart, and said calmly, Second Aunt has worked hard.Then he said, Rong'er also went back early to rest.Jia Zhen finally showed a smiling face: "Your mother is right, you are tired, rest first." After Jia Rong heard this, she bent over and slowly retreated.

Qiaomei followed Jia Rong back to the house, and followed Yindie to wait on You Xiaoxiao to go back to the room. On the way, she heard her stomach growling. Eat your stomach—I’ll get you some snacks later.” Seeing no one around, Qiao Mei whispered, “It’s my sister who hurts me, I’m so hungry, I haven’t had a drop of rice for two days.” A slave who is filial to the master cannot eat.You Xiaoxiao knew very well that first she asked the small kitchen to make a bowl of shredded chicken noodles, and then asked Qiaomei to sit on the xiaozi under the seat.

Yindie went to pack a few meat and vegetable snacks, such as plum cakes, meat floss rolls, crystal soup, jujube cakes. A thin porcelain enamel plate was placed in front of Qiaomei. You Xiaoxiao ordered tea to be poured, and Qiaomei stood up quickly , Said: "The slaves are killed, sister Yindie put it down, I will do it by myself." But You Xiaoxiao said: "Sit down and rest, look at your child with blue eye sockets, you didn't sleep well last night-you go out to replace me Let your elder sister Yindie take care of you, master." Yindie pursed her lips, took a white porcelain tureen, poured two new bowls of her daughter's red, offered You Xiaoxiao one, and handed it to Qiaomei .

Qiaomei wanted to speak first, but was stopped by You Xiaoxiao to make her full.As soon as a piece of dim sum was eaten, the man from the rich family brought chicken shredded noodles on a mahogany tea tray, and Yindie went out to greet him and said with a smile, "I can smell the aroma from a long distance away, my sister-in-law's cooking skills are getting better and better."

The people who came to the rich house were all smiles, and they were eager to come in, but they were gently stopped by Yindie, "Sister-in-law, why did you forget the rules? Last night you brought the women in to set the meal, and grandma scolded me for being lazy. From now on, just pass on the meal to me." It's enough to get to the door."

The person who came to the rich family was immediately blushed, but he didn't dare to say anything.Early this morning, she heard from her sister-in-law who came to your house that her nephew, Mo Yun, had been sent to the stables, and Jin Sanxi's second son, Shi Yan, had taken Mo Yun's shift and had gone to serve Brother Rong.After inquiring carefully, it was the meaning of the eldest grandma. This is not a big deal at all, and the people who came to the promotion family didn't make a sound, but the people who came to the expensive family were so angry that they said nonsense that the two boys of Jin Sanxi's family followed the young master, just picking on the light To make a living is out of order.Those who came to Sheng's house were not restrained, and the people below whispered, wondering what the wind would blow in the house in the future.Those who came to the rich family saw that the old lady was not as good as usual, and she was afraid in her heart, and was about to show her courtship, but was humiliated again, so she had to wait at the door, waiting for a tray and a noodle bowl.

After Qiaomei had eaten and drank enough, You Xiaoxiao put down the needle and thread in her hand and listened to her. "The servant girl went there under the order of the eldest grandma. Brother Rong and Second Mistress Lian also took good care of the servant girl on the way. The uncle went late, stopped a little, greeted a few officials and came back. Brother Rong also I don't have anything to say, this servant is watching..." Qiaomei hesitated for a moment, and only glanced at You Xiaoxiao.

You Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Just say what you have, what I want is your straightforward temper."

Qiaomei then replied: "The slave girl didn't look very sad when she looked at Brother Rong's face, but she said a few words to Miss Baozhu, and didn't pay much attention to the rest. Second Master Bao of the West Mansion followed Second Mistress Lian, and even brought Look at Brother Qin. After making a fuss for a whole day, the slaves followed Second Grandma Lian to the Mantou Nunnery, and Second Master Bao and Brother Qin didn't rest at the Tiekan Temple, so they just followed them."

You Xiaoxiao frowned and said: "Brother Qin is messing around, the one who died was his own sister, she didn't cry in front of the funeral and observe filial piety, what are you messing around with Baoyu?" The little nun is so clever that it spreads all over the place." You Xiaoxiao has long been dissatisfied with Qin Zhong's character, and the poor old warden Qin Ye has high hopes for him.So he spat and said: "Qin Zhong will not be allowed to enter the mansion from now on. This kind of unfaithful and unfilial beast has humiliated Brother Rong's daughter-in-law for nothing, what else is there, just tell me."

Qiao Mei lowered her voice, "The servant got up at night and passed by the old nun's Jingxu's house. He heard voices inside, so he stopped listening for a while. It turned out to be Lian's second grandma..." In this way, Mr. Li Shoubei and Brother Zhang Jin I talked about the matter again, and said that Lian's second grandmother agreed to take Jia Lian's post to Yunguang to force the Li family to withdraw.After You Xiaoxiao heard it, she said "Amitabha" first, and then sighed: "This is such a matter of no king's law...Yindie, give Qiaomei a piece of silver, let's all go down." Qiaomei thanked her and followed Silver Butterfly went out.Qiaomei saw that the silver ingots in her hand were spiral pattern, even in color, about two or two ingots, she was overjoyed.Yindie smiled and said: "What's the matter, as long as you serve grandma with all your heart, you will have a good dowry in the future." Qiao Mei giggled and said: "Yes, I remember."

Jin Sanxi's family stood silently outside the door for a long time, and when they saw Yindie coming out, they all smiled and said, "Is grandma free?" Since she is the housekeeper's wife, Yindie also knew that there must be something important, so she sent a smile to her face first. Go back, then go into the house and report to You Xiaoxiao.After half a cup of tea, Yindie took Jin Sanxi's family in.Jin Sanxi's family straightened their clothes and kowtowed first.You Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "We will meet for a long time in the future, so there is no need to be so big." Jin Sanxi's family accompanied him and said with a smile: "This is grandma's kindness." You Xiaoxiao ordered Yindie to bring longan soup, and Jin Sanxi's family sit down.

The acquaintance of Jin Sanxi's family sat on the pedals and lowered his voice: "The servants have done what grandma ordered. There is a family from Zhou Xiang's family in Huairou North Mountain Villa. I heard that the tea and food are very good. If you go hunting, you should choose Beishan Villa to settle down." "You Xiaoxiao nodded, and heard her continue to say: "This time, Zhou Xiang's family's craftsmanship is also full of praise. I was supposed to be transferred to the mansion as usual, but I was delayed because I didn't give filial piety to my sister-in-law. Grandma also I know, men don't care about such trivial matters. Zhou Xiang's family will stay in Zhuangzi forever."

You Xiaoxiao was satisfied in her heart, but her face was majestic, she just said: "There are too many Zhuangzi outside the house..." Before she finished speaking, Jin Sanxi's family hurriedly replied: "Your maidservant dare not lie to grandma, Zhou Xiang's family is my distant sister , They know each other well, and wait for idlers and servants to dare to recommend to grandma." You Xiaoxiao thought to herself, although she wanted to prevent the subordinates from getting married and bullying the master, but there was no need to be dogmatic, and it was fine to just ask her to come up and have a look.

Seeing that You Xiaoxiao's expression softened, Jin Sanxi's family knew that the matter was very likely to happen, so they replied: "I have one more thing to ask grandma." You Xiaoxiao said: "You tell me." The Guo'er who was just brought back from the room is the daughter of Zhou Xiang's family." You Xiaoxiao was not surprised, but smiled lightly and said, "This is a family tradition, and Guo'er is good at cooking." Jin Sanxi's family went on to say: "At the beginning, Zhou Xiang's family came to my house to beg, saying that grandma had a crush on Guo'er, and the whole family was very happy. They didn't expect this kind of thing to happen again. Tell grandma, Guo'er is a slave who looks at her elders. Daddy, you must never do something wrong to the master, she said that the deer tail was in the small kitchen, so she brought it to braise..."

You Xiaoxiao thought to herself, that would be right. She originally suspected that Guo'er was born in the countryside, so why would she burn high-end ingredients such as deer tail? From this point of view, men often go to Zhuangzi, and Zhou Xiang's family must have made deer tail and bear paws. Guo'er has a very high nature, so it makes sense for him to learn from his mother.Anyway, it's just started, there is no doubt about the employment, and the suspect does not use it, so I pulled Zhou Xiang's house into the small kitchen.

"So, you go tell Zhou Xiang's family and ask her to bring Guo'er to pick up the small kitchen tomorrow. Guo'er will also take care of my errands. Those who come to the rich family don't have to go back, they all belong to Zhou Xiang's family's errands. The other mothers-in-law Whether to exchange or not, Zhou Xiang’s family can figure it out, and just give me an order at the end.” Jin Sanxi’s family was overjoyed, kowtowed for his sister, and said: “Grandma, don’t worry, my sister will definitely give it to the master. Long face." You Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and said, "Very good, you put your heart into it."

Jin Sanxi's family went out in the spring breeze all the way, so happy that they walked with fluttering.The accountant and the kitchen were supposed to be her assistant to the second housekeeper. Unexpectedly, the person who came to the promotion house and several other family members took advantage of the power of the housekeeper's wife to control the entire government affairs, and because Young Mistress Rong was modest and low-key, she didn't like to show off. He was so tolerant towards the subordinate servants that most of the affairs in the inner mansion were gathered in the hands of the men from the Laisheng family, and the rest of the wives even praised the superiors and trampled the inferiors, and even less regarded himself as the second housekeeper eyes.In the end, the old man of my own family is knowledgeable, and has long been dispatched to serve the grandma. I didn't know it at the time, and said behind my back that the grandma was just a follow-up, and she hasn't laid a single egg for so many years. Grandpa She has long been unable to tolerate such vulgar words in her eyes.No wonder the old man often said that he was a woman!Hey, Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is so handsome, she died when she was young. The one who came to Sheng's family used to watch the young grandma be favored and flatter her wholeheartedly, leaving the eldest grandma behind. Now it's too late to pay filial piety. up!Hmph, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, Grandma will definitely not rub the sand in her eyes.
