[Red Mansions] Dependents

"Auntie's expression just now is really funny." Miaoyu smiled when she returned to Ningguo Mansion, and looked at Yaxin jokingly.

Yaxin was not embarrassed by Miaoyu's indecent expression, and said to herself: "It's good for them, you have never seen a higher level."

"Sure enough, when Madam Xu told me, I didn't believe it, but now it seems that I was wrong." Miao Yu laughed.

Yaxin became curious: "What did Mother Xu tell you?"

"Nurse said, no one in this mansion is more naughty than aunt." After finishing speaking, he laughed.

Yaxin pretended not to be happy, looked at Madam Xu and said, "Mama, really, just tell the juniors some embarrassing things about me, now everyone is making fun of me."

Nanny Xu still didn't understand Yaxin's temperament, so she replied with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's all the old slave's fault. When I saw the girl and miss, they were naughty and couldn't help but think that my wife was like this when she was a child. Let's go." Yaxin nodded and laughed when she heard that.

"Since my aunt doesn't like their house, why do you have to deal with them?" Miaoyu laughed and asked doubtfully.

Yaxin took Miaoyu and said as she walked: "You don't understand this, and I don't blame you. You have been living in the temple all the time. There are no such troublesome things in the Buddhist Pure Land. You do whatever you want, so you don't know. People who live in the world should understand that many things are not what you want to do, and not all people can be ignored if you don’t like them. The first thing you have to learn now is to laugh.”

"Laughing?" Miao Yu asked, puzzled.

"Yes, it is laughter. Laughing is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, but if you know how to laugh, many things will be solved easily. This smile is not only for people you like, but also for people you hate. , as the saying goes, don't hit people with smiling faces when you stretch out your hands, look at the old lady who always smiles at everyone, but no one knows how much truth there is in it, but if you face each other with smiling faces, you don't know People, the first feeling is your fault." Yaxin explained.

Miaoyu thought for a while and said: "Then I will ignore those who misunderstand me, as long as the people I like don't misunderstand me."

"However, it is impossible for a person to live smoothly. When you ask for someone, you don't like that person. Do you want to give up, or keep a cold face, so who will talk to you? And people say that the king of Hades is easy to see I beg you to see those officials and dignitaries, if you don’t curry favor with those servants, you will suffer.” Yaxin said, the purpose of this trip was just to mention Miaoyu, who was used to the quietness of the Buddhist gate. It's almost a bit otherworldly.

Seeing that Miaoyu bowed her head and said nothing, Yaxin said again: "Who can survive in Jia's mansion without some knowledge? Look at Tanchun, at such a young age, he is very smart. In order not to be looked down upon by those people Not all smiles to please, even those big maids, she tries to please them with all her heart."

"What about the second girl?" Miao Yu asked, "She will be fine."

"You treat her dumbly. A person who has played a good game of chess has a gap in her heart. She just chose not to fight, and she doesn't want to be used as a pawn by the people in the mansion. Unfortunately, she didn't understand that even if the mansion is abandoned, She also needs to squeeze out something before giving up, and she is afraid that it will not be easy, those slaves are all bullying, the less you resist, the more arrogant they will be." Yaxin said.

"Really? Since my aunt can see clearly, why don't you help her?" Miaoyu was a little naive.

Yaxin looked at Miaoyu with a smile and said softly: "This time, let alone the world, there are too many poor people in this mansion. If you are a bodhisattva with a big heart, you will not be able to help, and maybe you will be struggling It's not flattering, and secondly, apart from our relatives, we have met Yingchun a few times, but we don't have a deep friendship, and they don't want your help, so why should you bother with such trivial matters. It's the right thing to do yourself first."

"En." Miaoyu replied, although she didn't understand it very well, but Miaoyu still kept it in her heart very seriously, maybe she would understand in the future.

Yaxin remembered something again, and said to Miaoyu: "Now that Keqing is pregnant, she can no longer take care of the affairs of the house, and I don't want to accept these things anymore. Ran'er is getting old, if you don't learn I'm afraid I'll be looked down upon when I go to my husband's house in the future, so Auntie thinks it's up to you to take over, and Xi'er will follow suit."

"Auntie, it's not right." Miaoyu knew that Yaxin was doing it for her own good, but she didn't know much about these things, and she was afraid that she might not do it well.

Yaxin said: "There's nothing wrong with it, just do it as you please, I'll let Madam Xu help you, she will tell you what to do, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask me, and I've been negligent these days , you don’t have a single nanny by your side, let Rong’er go out to inquire tomorrow and find a good one to come back.”

Miaoyu didn't want to bother, and said: "Auntie, don't bother, just choose one from the mansion."

Yaxin shook her head and said: "You look peaceful in the mansion, but none of them are worry-free. If they weren't suppressed, they would have turned their backs."

"Then Ran'er will thank you, aunt." Miaoyu said after listening.

Soon the rewards from the palace were all given to Keqing. It was the Queen Mother who knew that the Rongguo Mansion was ready to move towards Keqing. The rewards were given to warn the people in the Rongguo Mansion that Keqing was their value. People, let them stop acting rashly.

And all the people in the whole house knelt on the ground listening to the rewards. They were not envious or jealous. No one noticed the flash of hatred in Youshi's eyes.

Not long after Youshi's miscarriage, Jia Zhen found a new love, and stayed in the concubine's room every day, so she became less fond of Youshi. Although Youshi is a second wife, the power of housekeeping is in Yaxin's hands. In the house, she can only take care of Jia Zhen's private house and the people in her own courtyard, and the other servants do not obey her orders.

"I'm really not reconciled." Youshi returned to the room, twisted his face, and spat out these words fiercely.

"Why should my wife be angry about this matter? It's a good thing. The eldest grandma is pregnant, so there will be no housekeeper. It's not funny to hear that the eldest wife wants her niece from her natal family to be the housekeeper. Madam might as well make a fuss." Waiting on You Shi Mommy Gan said.

Youshi said: "What's the use of making trouble? If she holds her back, what else can I do?"

Gan Momo said: "Ma'am, you may not know it when you first came here. This eldest lady is weak. She can't be angry. She will get dizzy if she gets up together. If it's serious, it may kill her. If you make trouble in the past, it will spread." Well, their reputation is not good as soon as they come. After all, how can someone in their own family let someone with a foreign surname be the housekeeper? It might be possible to give up the housekeeping right, and secondly, even if you don't get the housekeeping right, it would be very satisfying if the eldest wife was so angry that she fainted and vomited blood."

"Well, it's a good idea, but why did Mammy help me?" You Shi was still very careful, and didn't want to be used as a gun.

"My wife is worried about the old slave. In fact, my wife doesn't have to be so careful. None of the domestic slaves in our mansion are complaining to the eldest wife. Since the eldest wife has been sick, she has started to suppress our Jia family's domestic servants. She is from the Gao family. The ones brought here are very powerful, they are domineering in our Jia family, and they are looking for nuns for the girl, the eldest wife would rather spend money to go out and look for them than use old nuns like us. Although we are slaves, we are not convinced, Look at my old sisters in the West Mansion, which one of them is living a miserable life like ours, and they are all very chic and happy. We have long wanted to change the housekeeper, but she has been the only wife in our mansion for so many years, and now Well, Madam, you are here, we are on your side." Gan Momo expressed her heartfelt sincerely, and she also came on behalf of the servants born in Ningguo Mansion.

Youshi was very happy when he heard that, and he was distressed by this matter, so someone brought a pillow: "The mother said so, I have nothing to doubt. It seems that we should go there while they are happy now Congratulate them properly and express our heart.”

But You Shi and Gan Momo didn't expect that when they asked for a housekeeper, Yaxin didn't pay much attention at all, and said: "Since you want a housekeeper so much, then I can't refuse, so let's do it, except me We will take care of the servants in the courtyard, Keqing, and Xichun, and leave the rest to you." As soon as these words came out, You Shi and Gan Momo could no longer quarrel.Then, before the two could react, someone sent them back.

"Auntie, is that why you agreed?" Miaoyu asked puzzled.

But Qing replied with a smile: "My sister is too worried, Mother seems to have given her the right to be a housekeeper, but the key to the warehouse is still with Mother, so she can only be regarded as 'helping' the housekeeper. And outside of our courtyards, the others are the sons of the family in the mansion, those slaves seem to have been suppressed for so many years, and they can no longer settle down, and those slaves are not easy to manage."

"Yeah. She wanted to take over, but it helped me a lot. Ran'er was just in charge of the servants in our courtyard. She also had to look at the account books, and Xi'er couldn't just look at them. It's time to learn, although it's a lot easier, but don't be careless." Yaxin said to Miaoyu and Xichun with a smile, thinking that Youshi wants to fight with me, so you should continue to practice hard.

Then Yaxin looked at Keqing again and said, "As for me, I will take care of the baby and you."

Youshi figured this out on the way back. He didn't have money in his hands, so he was not really a housekeeper. He was just helping the housekeeper as he said, and he secretly scolded Yaxin for being cunning. Back in the room, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. She swept the teacup on the table to the ground, and only when she heard the broken sound did she feel relieved a lot.
