The clever maid of the red mansion

There is no one who is not wronged in life.But there is a kind of person who thinks that suffering is a blessing, so let it go, just like Cao A, I can only blame others, and no one can blame me.

To put it in a small way, I have to take advantage of it, and others can't take advantage of me.

If you feel that your family has suffered from anger, you will be like Feng Shi, the second master of the general's mansion, who looks at people with the corners of his eyes, or his nose, and his eyes only look up. Commonly known, looking down at people means looking down on people.

It is not known how Wang taught the second master back then, but judging from the second master's current behavior, we can also get a glimpse of it.

Entering the middle hall, the second master kowtowed to the old man first, and behaved well, "Father has always been good, and the son shares the worries for the king. If he can't be filial, I hope the father will not worry about it." Filial piety and the like, presumably it is not the family style of the General's Mansion.

And, why do you listen to all the vibes?

This was Liu'er's idea, peeking at her own man, Feng Sanye was watching his nose and mouth, and he was sitting upright, as if he was serious about receiving guests.

The old man shouted, and the second old man greeted his elder brother again. Both of them are gentlemen, gentlemen who are friends of gentlemen.Then there is Mrs. Liu, the eldest sister-in-law is like mother. When the mother is not here, the second master asked, "What's wrong with my wife?" It's something." The second master nodded when he heard the words, and saw Mrs. Liu."Sister-in-law" is a little closer than elder brother, but not so much.

For the rest, it's time to come up and greet the second master.So everyone took their seats one after another, and those who felt their seniority came out voluntarily. Anyway, the old man didn't say anything, and none of them looked like the old lady of the Jia family, pointing at this and that with a smile. This is also the benefit of the female relatives, and mediates the atmosphere.

Feng Ziying stood up, saluted, and straightened up, "Second brother is always good, and the journey was tiring, but it went smoothly?"

"Shang Ke, please worry about it. I also heard that the third brother was promoted when I was in office, and I haven't congratulated the third brother yet."

"Second brother is polite, thanks to the ancestors."

Third Master Feng asked and answered questions with his elder brother in a serious manner, which was completely different from the usual in his own room, more calm and dignified.From the corners of his eyes and brows, there is a sharp look; his words and demeanor show a forceful aura.Thinking about working in the yamen on weekdays, that's pretty much the way it is.

Therefore, the second master Feng was facing the couple, and Liu Er was able to look at the legendary second master.About forty years old, with a white face and a slight beard, and a gentle temperament, he can be seen as a scholar.Those thick eyebrows, big eyes, and wide forehead are all inherited from the old man.And with clear eyes, he is a shrewd person at first glance, no better than the old master.

Feng Ziying saw her elder brother, and directed Liu Er, "This is the Yang family, and this is the second elder brother." Liu Erfu greeted him, and the second master just nodded.

The rest of the people don't need to go into details, their seniority and status are far from those of the third room, and the second master will all nod and pass by.Even my three sons and daughters are the same.Feng Nuo was the youngest, so he couldn't help being a little unhappy, he pursed his mouth, and was glared at by her mother before giving up.

Finally, the three women he brought back, with their children and nurses, were at the door.Adults and children, with the youngest still in jjj's arms, it's rare that they all behaved well and didn't make a sound.

At the signal of the second master, Qi Qi came over to kowtow to the old man.

The second master pointed from left to right, "Youshi, Wushi, Wangshi, the second son Feng Yu, the third son Feng Rang, the second daughter Feng Yi, the fourth daughter Feng Liang, and the fifth daughter Feng Ou, kowtow to the old man. "

After everyone kowtowed for a while, Mrs. Zhang got up to leave, and took all the female relatives back to the courtyard of the second room for resettlement.

The female relatives here also all resigned one after another, leaving the father and son to continue talking, and naturally they also had lunch with the old man.As for the reception banquet and the like, it was all arranged by Mrs. Liu, and it probably only took a few days.

Liu'er took the maid and woman back to Taoyuan, and walked back slowly, thinking about the second master in her heart.

Just now in the hall, when the second master's concubines and concubine's children kowtowed to the old man, Liu'er could see clearly that the old man just nodded lightly, and didn't mention the meeting ceremony at all.After being married for so many days, Liu'er also understands some of the style of the General's Mansion.Don't look at the old man marrying his daughter-in-law one after another. In the early years, it is said that he also had a concubine room, but after his illness disappeared, there were no more, and there was no concubine's children.According to Liu Er's daily observations, the old man is very disapproving of the concubine's children. He once inadvertently said, "One mother has two minds, and two mothers are pure nonsense..."

It's a pity that neither of the two sons inherited the fine traditions of the old man.The second master now... needless to say.And at any rate, the Elder Master followed his father's example and ignored his aunt and concubine's children on weekdays, and let Liu's disposition.As soon as the second master came back today, to pay respects to the old man in such a serious manner, it was not kowtowing, it was more or less a slap in the face.

And the name of your concubine's children is the same as that of your concubines, there is no taboo.The eldest son, Feng Quan, and the eldest daughter, Feng Yu, both looked unhappy. Mrs. Zhang has been carrying the three sedan chairs since she saw them.

Of the three children, except for the second daughter, Feng Yu, who is older than Feng Nuo, the others are all younger than Feng Nuo.Feng Nuo was born after Zhang's return to Beijing, obviously the rest of the concubine's children were born later.

It can also be seen from the three concubines that only You Shi, who is the leader, is about the same age as Zhang Shi.The rest are all women in their twenties, with good looks. Each of them has two children, one son and one daughter, which are average. I don't know how the second master can be impartial.Looking at Mrs. Zhang's expression, it is obvious that those two were accepted by the second master's heir, and Mrs. Zhang didn't know about it.

Alas, Liu'er couldn't help but sigh for Mrs. Zhang, she had worked so hard for her children, and she didn't know if the second master could have some gratitude in her heart, but now this is really hurting people's hearts.

In the evening when Mr. Feng returned to his room, Liu Er threw away the needle and thread in his hand, got up and wanted to help him take off the big woolen clothes outside, but was stopped, "You can just sit down, have you eaten tonight?" He took off the cloak and threw it to the girl next to him, rubbed his hands, stepped to the kang where Liu Er was sitting, reached out and took the teacup Liu Er handed over, just sniffed it and nodded, " This time, you brewed it yourself, and it tastes like this, it can't be worse." After speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.

Liu'er smiled, "Yes, yes, Uncle Feng's nose is the best. But you should take your time, if it's hot, scald it carefully."

Mr. Feng beat up the little dude, and he has been eating, drinking and having fun for many years, but he doesn't care too much outside. In fact, his nose and tongue are the best.Most of Tingtao Garden's food and clothing expenses are purchased by itself.There are also fresh and good-looking melons, fruits, vegetables, and rice grains of various colors delivered in accordance with the seasons from the Zhuangzi outside.Now that he is living by himself, he naturally pays attention to it, and he is a well-rounded person, so he can't get any good things.The good cooks in the three-bedroom kitchen are assigned from the house, found elsewhere, and borrowed from Weifangzhai, and they are used in rotation every once in a while.It's a good thing now, as a Shangguan, with real power in his hands, and more filial piety.Those who don't have a good eye to give gifts to those who don't have a good eye, each racks their brains, but they can't match what they like. I really can't see what Feng Sanye lacks, so naturally they all choose extraordinary filial piety.

So there is no shortage of good things in Tingtao Garden.Even if it's a response to the people, it's a bit cheaper than the food and clothing in the mansion.And Sanfang is rich, and the third master is also generous in rewards.Although there is no shortage of people in Tingtao Garden nowadays, there are often those who try their best to flatter them and wholeheartedly look forward to working as errands in the third room.

Now that Liu'er comes in, don't say that Liu'er is married to Feishangzhi, the one who takes advantage the most is not Mr. Feng.

Liu'er's ability to serve others has been cultivated by being a girl, and now Mr. Feng has benefited from it.What kind of treatment is that, even at Mrs. Shi's level, few can enjoy the treatment.

It's just that now that Liu'er is pregnant, she does less sewing, and the two old men are filial. Even if Mr. Feng didn't delay wearing it, he is not as good as the two old men, Lin and Feng.As for trivial matters such as making tea casually, Feng Ziying is used to it. She doesn't like to drink tea made by others at home, and it tastes wrong almost immediately.As for the occasional Liu'er massages his head, because she is pregnant, she has never been willing to ask Liu'er to do it, instead she has nothing to do to rub her legs and feet.He recognized acupuncture points, so he gradually developed his skills.

Feng Ziying's four brothers had lunch with the old man, drank some wine, said something again, and they left.Seeing that it was still early, I wanted to go back to my room, but I didn't know that someone was looking for it outside. I went out and had dinner with someone, and it was a little late when I came back.

For a while, Feng Ziying was rubbing the lady's legs, and the couple started gossiping, "You said the one who was looking for me in the afternoon, I mentioned Liu Xianglian to you before, it was him, and you seemed to have seen it in Jia's mansion before." .I remember one time in Huifang Garden, in autumn.”

Liu Er nodded, suddenly remembered something, in the last life, it seemed that Liu Erlang became a monk, because of Third Sister You?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "When I was in Jia's residence, I heard someone mention that Mr. Zhen and his aunt in Dongfu had taken a fancy to him. What's the matter now?"

Feng Sanye smiled, "That's not the case. Jia Zhen was looking for someone to propose marriage to her aunt. Erlang heard that he was a relative of Jia's family and had such a relationship with Dong's house, so he was not very happy. But now he can't get rid of it." Now, the men of the Jia family have asked people to talk about things over and over again, which annoys him so much that he is looking for me to complain and think about it today."

Third Sister You is Liu Xianglian, and she doesn't care about her death, so it may not be easy for her to ignore her now.So Liu'er thought about it for a while, and said, "He only heard some gossip about You Shi, why not find a reliable one and inquire about it, or make it clear when you meet, it's not a problem to hide like this after all. "

Of these two people, one seems to have something to do with her brother-in-law and nephew, and the other is also a libertine who sleeps in flowers and sleeps in willows. No matter what happened in the past, they can be regarded as gentlemen.It's really pitiful to end up like that.

Feng Ziying nodded, "I also persuaded him in the same way, and he agreed, but I don't know what to think when I go back, let's just watch."

Speaking of the matter of Third Sister You and Liu Xianglian, Liu Er suddenly thought of someone.In terms of scheming, kindness, and even appearance and knowledge, they are all one-of-a-kind, and they only come from the body and suffer.

Seeing Liu'er lost in thought, Feng Ziying scratched the soles of Liu'er's feet, "What are you thinking, I'm so cruel, my husband can't catch her mind when he serves my lady like this, it shows that my skills are not good enough after all. "

Liu'er came back to her senses, blinked her eyes and looked at Feng Ziying, "Tell me, what do you think about the marriage of the fifth elder brother of the Li family, if the other party has the same background as mine?"

Third Master Feng was surprised, "Like a lady? You mean, she is good-looking and smart, can speak and be dexterous, can read and write, and has a very powerful skill that is known to the whole country?"

Liu'er was embarrassed to say it, and said angrily, "I hate it, is there such a boaster? How can you say it so strangely, let people hear it carefully, saying that your mother-in-law sells melons." There is a lot of sweet talk every day, but there are a few people in my daughter's family who don't like to listen to good things, and Liu'er is not immune.

Third Master Feng suppressed a smile and nodded, "From now on, we will praise secretly, so that no one will hear it. If people overhear it, we can only say that Mr. Xiang is telling the truth, and it is not a compliment."

With a smile on her face, Liu'er was happy in her heart, and said angrily, "I told you to go too far, and talk about finding a wife for Fifth Brother. I said that this person is indeed very good, but now he is serving by Second Grandma Lai. There was no communication for a while, and I don’t know what’s going on now.”

Mr. Feng was stunned, "Let me just say, there is only one woman in the world like a lady. But if you say she is very good, there must be something special about her. It doesn't matter what her background is. Although the Li family has money, it's just like that if it's in the hands of the fifth brother. He's also used to it. He doesn't care about foreign things if he likes it. Not even Miss, it just depends on fate."

What Liu'er was talking about was none other than the eldest girl next to Second Grandma Lai, Lu'er.

Among the women Liu'er has met, no matter whether it's a girl or a young lady, no one can compare to Lu'er in terms of scheming.What's even more rare is that he has kind thoughts in his heart but doesn't take risks easily. Even if he helps others, he must inquire clearly before reaching out.

Although he was a little too cautious, he was careful to sail for ten thousand years, and if he wanted to live a good life, he had to protect others.This kind of person, not to mention a woman, is a man, and it is rare.
