The maid of the red house

Even if it's an old thing, it depends on who owns it. If it's clothes, it's worthless, but the jewelry Jia Mu once wore, even if they are a bit old, are still excellent things. The new ones may not be as good as them.

Everyone else understood Jia Mu's meaning, but Xueyan didn't understand, so she kowtowed to thank her honestly.It's not easy, except for the purse and hairpin when I first came back, after more than half a year, I finally got the first reward besides Daiyu.

She is not lofty, and wished that these rewards would be as many as possible, anyway, the Rongguo Mansion spent so much money on Lin Daiyu.

After taking the things, before she left, she heard Mother Jia say to Nanny Lai, "How old is your granddaughter?"

Nanny Lai is Jia Mu's confidant, and she understands Jia Mu's thoughts best. Today, she was called by Jia Mu Tete again, and she felt something in her heart. Xinrong is 13 years old this year."

Mother Jia laughed and said, "I remember being a month older than Xueyan. Good boy, you are living like a young lady now. You will have a great fortune in the future. How about I send you another granddaughter? You have two granddaughters, tomorrow You can have the wine toasted by the two grandsons-in-law!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was surprised. Did Mother Jia let Xueyan recognize her as a relative?

Don't talk about what other people think, Lai Momo quickly thinks about it in her heart.

I am Jia Mu's confidant, and the young masters have to give up their seats, and behave decently; my son Lai Da is the chief manager of Rongguo Mansion, in charge of the affairs of the mansion, not to mention the majesty among the servants, even in front of the master. The eldest grandson, Lai Shangrong, was given grace and released. At the age of 20, he donated an official son. Although there is no real shortage, he has been promoted to an official. His family has a house, a land, a garden, and servants. Ordinary officials and eunuchs are not as good as them Home decent too!

If I recognize Xueyan as my granddaughter, Xueyan will have a chief executive as a godfather, and her status among the servants will rise, and she will be more respectable than other families, and the girl she serves will have to be very supportive by her family. If you agree, then the other servants will naturally not object, and if the servants do not object, it means that Mother Jia paved the way for Miss Lin among the servants.

Mrs. Wang doesn't want Daiyu to be her daughter-in-law, but she has to think about the benefits of Daiyu's godfather Lai Dachang, who is close to her maid.

If Daiyu can marry Baoyu safely, the Lai family will have to go further. On the other hand, even if the marriage fails, Xueyan is just a girl, and they are still the chief stewards of the mansion, so they have nothing to lose.

Slightly raised his eyes to glance at the faces of the people in the room. Although Mrs. Wang and Baochai still looked calm, their hands on their knees were tightly clenched into handkerchiefs. Nanny Lai sighed inwardly. Marriage competition with Mu Shi, but now, Mother Jia has already opened her mouth, and she can't tolerate her non-compliance, so she got up with a smile on her face and said: "The old lady's vision is naturally good, I don't know that this old slave can have it." How many blessings, what kind of good granddaughter to have."

As he said that, he turned his eyes slightly, and glanced over the maids in the room, quite a few of them became very nervous.

Only Yuanyang already knew Jia Mu's tone yesterday, so she looked at Xueyan with a calm expression and smiled.

Jia Mu smiled and said, "What do you think of this child Xueyan? I love this child as a loyal person, but I feel very sorry for being here alone. I became your granddaughter. You are her real grandmother, Lai Da and Lai Da. The eldest daughter-in-law is her real parents."

Before Mammy Lai could speak, Xue Yan was already so frightened that she flew into the sky.

She didn't know that Jia's mother had secretly measured her for more than half a year, watching her behavior, watching her means and heart, and seeing that she had really grown up, she did this. If it was the same as before, Jia's mother would definitely not have such an idea.

Even so, Xueyan couldn't help but be surprised that this story doesn't exist in the original book.

Who is Lai Mama?What kind of family is the Lai family?It was the tip of the pagoda among the servants, the home of Xinrong among the officials, the garden of the house was very tidy, and there were several shocking places, how could she, a little girl, climb up there for no reason?

Rongguo Mansion is an aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family is rapidly declining. The Lai family is a slave, but the slave is rising step by step. This is an obvious contrast.The children and grandchildren of the Rongguo Mansion are unworthy, and they eat their own food. The Lai family, Lai Nai, manages the family well, and has a long-term vision in raising their children. Although the family has a garden and a house, they are not as extravagant and wasteful as the Rongguo Mansion. The Tanchun Reform is learned from their daughter of.

Such a family has already left the ranks of slaves and is advancing to the class of masters. Lai Shangrong, brother and sister, can sit on an equal footing with Baoyu Tanchun and others, how can they recognize a little girl as a daughter?

Xueyan hadn't recovered yet, she just heard Nanny Lai laughing and said: "I just said that the old lady has a good eye, she really is a good girl."

As he spoke, he took Xueyan's hand, looked him up and down, and turned to Mother Jia and said, "Let's not talk about the neat appearance, our children are not bad-looking, it's just that this kind of bearing and loyalty are rare. The girl is worthy of being the old lady's blood and blood, her ability to manage people is exactly the same as the old lady's, and I heard that she can read and write, which is better than Xinrong, I like it very much."

Madam Lai never paid attention to snow geese before, but today she looks more and more beautiful, her skin is as white as fat, crystal clearer than snow, she is indeed a figure in the water town, even better than Qingwen, who she honored to Mother Jia a few years ago , the beauty of Qingwen lies in her dexterity, although she is nostalgic for her old temper, she is not flattering. The beauty of Xueyan lies in her elegance, and she will not be arrogant.

Mother Jia laughed from ear to ear, and said to Xueyan, "Your grandmother likes you very much, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to your grandmother."

Daiyu had already thought thoroughly, and hurriedly said, "How can this be done?"

But Jia Mu said: "Why can't I do it? I have everything. Xueyan, why are you still standing there? Don't you like being stupid?"

Xueyan thought: "Dragging the thriving Lai family into a puddle of muddy water, they still have to thank you. They don't dare to hate you, but they will hate me. Since they hate me, so what if they recognize me? They won't Treat me sincerely." But since Mother Jia had this intention, she couldn't object as a girl, so she kowtowed to Nanny Lai and called her grandmother.

I hope Nanny Lai is sensible and sensible, and don't take her anger on her.

Seeing such a situation, Daiyu secretly sighed in her heart, and no one else knew how to congratulate her.

Mrs. Xing doesn't care much about these things, Daiyu's room has been respecting her recently, she is happy that Xueyan recognizes her relatives, this child Xueyan is sensible and sensible, it will be convenient for her to do things in the future, even if there is no benefit in her own room, there is no harm.She glanced at Mrs. Wang, and secretly laughed in her heart. The old lady gradually gave Daiyu more status. She was not happy, but she felt comfortable in her heart.

Mrs. Wang's eyes moved slightly, but she still looked like a wooden person, and she didn't lose her composure at all. Besides, she remembered the news from Baoyu's room that because this girl could read and write, Daiyu and Baoyu gradually drifted away. How can you not be happy?So he said with a smile: "Xueyan is sensible, so she has the grace of the old lady. With such good luck, I see that she is the only one who knows the rules and knows how to advance and retreat. She is the only one who deserves to be Lai Momo's granddaughter."

After hearing Mrs. Wang's words, everyone couldn't help but be amazed, even Jia's mother looked sideways.

Yingchun is a wooden person, Xichun is young, only Baochai Tanchun couldn't help but glance at Xueyan, but he couldn't see any difference from Yuanyang Xiren and others, but Baoyu clapped his hands and praised endlessly.

Nanny Lai was very close to Xueyan, she saw a wry smile flashing in her eyes, she was apologetic, she was not surprised in her heart, then she understood after thinking about it, how could such a girl not know Mother Jia's plan, presumably she was against her I felt sorry but I couldn't help myself to have such a look, and thought that she was Daiyu's maidservant, and she was able to get such words from Mrs. Wang, so it was obvious that she was not a simple girl, and Mammy Lai's previous unhappiness dissipated a bit. A trace of praise involuntarily flashed across his eyes, and he said: "Good boy, since you recognize me as a grandmother, you are also my granddaughter, what Minger Xinrong has, and what you have."

Xueyan lowered her eyebrows and pleasing to her eyes, and said politely: "Sister Xinrong is well-educated and reasonable, and her temperament is modest. Xueyan Puliu is weak, how can she be compared with Sister Xinrong? Grandma is willing to love me a little bit, so that I can learn from Sister Xinrong three times." It is my blessing to share my ability."

After hearing this, Nanny Lai was satisfied. No wonder Mother Jia let herself recognize her. She was indeed a good talker. She took off the jade bracelet she was wearing from her wrist and put it on Xueyan's left hand, saying: " What a smart child, I love you more and more. This was given to me by the old lady in the past, and I gave it to you today, it is the fate of our grandparents."

Xueyan has very sharp eyesight, this bracelet has all four grades of Zhengyang, thick and even, transparent and flawless, green dripping like flowing, absolutely extraordinary.She couldn't refuse the meeting gift from Nanny Lai, so she thanked her again and again before accepting it and still wearing it on her wrist.

Satisfied, Mother Jia said, "The eighteenth day is good. I'm the one who decides to let Mr. and Mrs. Lai serve wine and recognize their relatives in a serious way."

Nanny Lai hurriedly said: "Everything is obeyed by the old lady."

Baoyu was overjoyed and almost danced. If he was good-looking, his manners and words were more thoughtful than adults, and he said with a smile: "This is great. I often say that a girl like Xueyan has a very hard life, and she doesn't remember her parents in her hometown." , now that Nanny Lai has a filial granddaughter, and Xueyan has the love of her parents and grandmother, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Mother Jia looked at him dotingly, and smiled lovingly.

Seeing that this matter has been decided and nothing can be changed, everyone hurriedly came to congratulate Lai and Xueyan.

Nanny Lai said with a smile all over her face: "It's all thanks to the master's grace that I was able to get a smart and beautiful granddaughter for nothing."

Xueyan shyly and timidly accepted everyone's teasing words, while secretly looking at everyone's expressions, except Baoyu who was genuinely happy, Jiamu was satisfied, Mrs. Xing didn't care, Mrs. Wang was unpredictable, and Aunt Xue was expressionless. Yingchun is numb, Xichun is surprised, Tanchun is sad, only Daiyu's eyes are full of apology.

Xueyan can be sure that in Baoyu's marriage, Jia's mother is very fond of Daiyu, and she does not hesitate to use herself to pave the way for her.
