Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

The medicine Sun Nanny prescribed was effective. As soon as she took it, Qingwen felt a little sleepy and fell asleep. Jia Lu took back her seal and didn't keep any more.

Just outside the door, although the sun was good, a chill was blowing head-on, as if it was going to soak into the bones, Jia Lu shrank her hands, Mo Ran helped her straighten her clothes, and said,

"Girl, it's just snowing today, it's much colder than snowing, let's go home earlier!"

Jia Lu said, "Let's go to Third Sister!"

Mo Ran couldn't be persuaded, so he had no choice but to agree, and ordered someone to carry the soft sedan chair, ordered to be careful, and sent him to Qiushuangzhai.

While walking, Jia Lu asked, "Have you received the monthly payment?"

Mo Ran replied, "Got it, everyone in our yard eats bipartite monthly prescriptions. At the beginning of the month, the monthly prescriptions from Ning's mansion were issued, and our mansion just got them."

Jia Lu said casually, "Let me tell you, my sister-in-law and third sister are new officials, how could your monthly cases be missing? I'm afraid that the attackers in Yihong Court left in a hurry and didn't make good arrangements, and the people who assigned the monthly cases didn't dare Deliver it to anyone at will, that's why it hasn't been sent yet."

Mo Ran said, "Sister Xiren is such a thoughtful person. The old lady and the wife said that she did her best, and she praised and praised. She went to her mother and returned, and the wife rewarded the big clothes and arranged the carriage. Yes, for such a valued person, do you think she can't remember the monthly payment?"

Jia Lu straightened her body and said, "How do you say that? Could it be an attack or intentional?"

Mo Ran replied, "Isn't it intentional, girl, how can she be a foreigner, who is loved by everyone in the Rong Mansion, as Baoyu's maid?"

Jia Lu said, "Can you tell me in detail?"

When Mo Ran saw the girl coming to ask him, he wanted to show off his ability, so he said,

"To the old ladies and ladies above, she is stupid but also careful. She looks like Baoyu is all in her heart. Unlike other girls who always follow Baoyu, she will sometimes stop her. But this is all for the wife and the others to see. As for Baoyu, who knows what kind of means she used to win him over;

As for Second Master Bao, that's not to be said, Second Master Bao is a good servant, even Qingwen's violent temper can be pampered, let alone a good tempered Xiren who grew up together since childhood.

Speaking of this, the girl should know that Xiren was originally serving Miss Shi, if she was really as loyal as others said she was, why didn't she stick to the same goal? "

Jia Lu laughed, "It's not how you use it from one point to the end!"

Mo Ran said, "Girl let me finish talking."

"You say, you say."

"For those below, there are three categories. One is those who are of similar status. To put it bluntly, it is Sister Qingwen. She is outstanding in appearance. Even if Rongfu and Ningfu are combined, it is difficult to find a maidservant who is more beautiful than her." Now, there is also craftsmanship, and there are few people who can match that skill. It was bestowed by the old lady, and she is smart.

Such a person, look at how Sister Xiren treats her, and she doesn’t target her. She only persuades Sister Qingwen when she loses her temper, and then comforts the person who was scolded by Qingwen, and that person will get close She stayed away from Sister Qingwen.

There is another category of girls who are slightly first-class, namely Sheyue and Bihen. These two are her right-hand men. They are not known how much they value them on weekdays, but they dare not even entrust them with monthly money. It can be seen from their faces On the virtual.But these two people are not stupid, even though they received Xiren's attention, they never alienated Sister Qingwen on weekdays. "

Jia Lu thought that when Qingwen was seriously ill just now, Sheyue was busy following her, and secretly thought, but all the girls who show up in Yihong Courtyard are not simple.

"The other category is the little girls below. Yihong Yard is in such a mess. One is that there are no older nanny to watch, and the nanny of Second Master Bao has long since left in anger; The first is Baoyu's preference; the third is also her indulgence."

While the two of them were talking, Qiu Shuangzhai came, and when they entered the room, Tan Chun greeted him with a smile, and said,

"The fourth younger sister is here, but she is a rare visitor. Why are you here?"

It was rare for Jia Lu to see her radiant face, so she knew she was doing well these days, so she said,

"Let me see my third sister and talk for a while."

Tanchun welcomed Jia Lu into the room, and her room was opened up, open and open, and Jia Lu immediately saw some thick account books and some booklets on her desk, and said,

"It's not a coincidence that I came here. The third sister happens to be managing the house, isn't she?"

The servant tidied up and said, "Miss Si is not sure what she said, and there is no housekeeper to reply, so she is not a housekeeper. If you look at the account book, you are a housekeeper, and the girl doesn't need to come to us as a guest." Yes, our girl has been taking care of the house from the moment she opens her eyes in the morning to the time she closes her eyes at night."

Tanchun spat at her, and said, "You can still chatter about things, don't clean up. The fourth younger sister also took care of the family and managed affairs. She has two shops and one village under her hands. She can see our family's fortune there, so I'm not happy." Go make a pot of hot tea!"

The waiter answered and went out.

Jia Lu picked up a book and flipped through it. They were all small ledgers, that is to say, the single ledgers in various departments, and some old ledgers. It seemed that Jia Tanchun had been checking the ledgers for the past two days. Not from the Rongfu, he needed to avoid suspicion, so he put it down after looking at it.

Thinking about what the waiter said just now, he took a closer look at her face, and saw that although her face was good, there was still a faint blue color under her eyes, and said,

"Third sister, even if the housekeeper is important, you have to pay attention to your body!"

Tanchun didn't think there was anything wrong with her body, she was in good spirits, and said,

"I'm in good health, don't listen to that girl who waits on the book talking nonsense." Seeing Jia Lu put down the account book again, she asked,

"As the saying goes, there is a sequence of learning. Although you are younger than me, you learned housekeeping earlier than me. I don't know if you have seen anything?"

Jia Lu smiled, she just flipped through it at random, how could she find anything, so she changed the subject and said,

"Why don't you see sister-in-law and sister Bao?"

Tanchun replied, "Lan'er, who was playing in the snow, accidentally caught a cold and had a fever. My sister-in-law has no time to take care of these things. As for Sister Bao, she is the most cautious person, and she has a foreign surname." People always shake their heads when they ask questions, so I’m the only one here.”

Seeing that she was clearly complaining, Jia Lu spoke out in spirit, and knew in her heart that she was excited. When she was young, she got some favors, but later she offended Mrs. Wang. It's the Spring Festival that Mrs. took care of.

She is not alone, there is also an aunt who was locked up like a lunatic and Huan'er who is studying in Ningfu. It is a great thing to get this job, and finally she has some ability to take care of her aunt and brother.

Huan'er, who Jia Lu saw last time, saw that the little girls and servants also respected him a little bit, and they all relied on him as the housekeeper's sister.

It can be seen that the housekeeper is good, but I don't know how such a power-loving person like Sister Feng can agree to let go?
