The clever maid of the red mansion

I was anxious all night, and there were almost no accidents. After Master Feng left the next day, Ruyi, the eldest girl in the second grandmother's house, came and went straight to Liu'er's house.

Ruyi looked at Liu'er a few times, and said plainly: "You are Liu'er. From today onwards, go to the embroidery shop and wait for Mrs. Liu's orders. Let's clean it up and pay another half a year's money." After finishing speaking, he left. up.

Liu'er breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was afraid that she would be beaten and sold to some dirty place. Money is something outside of her body, and she didn't have much money, but the little money her Xu family saved was more than half of it.As for Xiu Zhuang, to be honest, she can learn more skills than the second girl here. As for being decent or not, heck, she is just a slave, there is nothing wrong with it, she has figured it out a long time ago.

Although the days of serving the second girl were short, Liu'er was very popular, let alone others, the first one who was reluctant to let her go was Xiao Cui, holding her hand, with tears in her eyes, "Sister Liu'er..."

Liu'er was deeply touched, at this moment whoever ran so far away was afraid of being hurt by herself, this Xiaocui was rare to be affectionate, and she was worthy of her usual care, so she patted her hand, "I'm fine, and It’s not that I can’t see you anymore, come and play with me when you’re not on duty, see what I like here, take it yourself, who knows what’s going on there.”

Xiaocui declined for a while, then Liu'er picked a few beaded flowers and left them for her, and ran over to see Tao'er.

Taoer is the son of a family, although his parents are not very powerful, but there is an older sister, Zhizi, who used to be the big girl by the eldest girl's side, and is now married to a servant girl. , Now I also serve in the big girl's house.

Therefore, Tao'er's house is still somewhat respectable, and she is not very close to Liu'er at ordinary times, so Liu'er was quite surprised to come here to see Liu'er off at this time.

"Although the errands here are decent, you are also smart. When you get to the next door, maybe there will be another good luck. If you have the opportunity to see you, don't deny your talent." Tao'er is only a little older than Liu'er At the age of [-], but with extraordinary knowledge, Liu'er couldn't help but look at her differently, and also thought of making friends with her.

Although the second girl is more willful, she is not unreasonable, so she sent Gui'er over with a calm face: "The girl said, there is no need to kowtow in the past, this is the girl rewarding you, anyway, you are also serving her, let you go out and do something. And... I also have a word to tell you, in the future, you should be more careful when you work, and pay more attention to the ups and downs of your eyebrows." She looked like a vice lady.

Liu'er didn't like it, thanked her, and accepted a pair of silver bracelets as a reward from the second girl. She found that her family's wealth is limited, and money is always useful.

Seeing everyone off, Xing'er looked at drinking tea and smiled faintly, seeing that there was no one in the room, she lowered her voice and said, "Since I'm leaving, I must remind you, be careful of Qiuhong, I'm You must know who is who, don't say much, at least we got to know each other. There is one other thing I beg you, please help me to send a message to Qiu Hong'Her happy brow veil is good, look at her Cut her off, I'll wait for her next door for three days, and I'll pretend that I've never known her before, otherwise...she can try it out.' If it's not convenient for you, forget it. "

Liu'er said forget it, her expression was not like that at all, especially when she said a few words to Qiu Hong, her expression was gloomy, her eyes were cold, seeing Xing'er's heart was cold, she didn't have any dislike for Liu'er at first, but immediately Make up your mind, this Liu'er is really not a good match, it's better not to offend or not to offend, and then I will find time to sneak out and go to Qiuhong to pass on the message.

After what happened last night, Liu'er immediately realized that she was being tricked by Qiu Hong.Fortunately, Second Grandma Lai is a person who is used to pretending to be virtuous in front of the old man, so she gently uncovered it on the spot, as if she was very lenient.Now that Liu Er has come to this result, firstly it is luck; secondly, Second Grandma Lai has just received a private house from the master, saying it is a dowry for the elder sister Lian, but it is more than Second Grandma Lai expected, so that She is in a good mood.

Therefore, for Liu'er's disrespect, she didn't kill her, although for ordinary girls, being kicked out of the girl's yard is like a collapse of the world, with no bright future.

As for letting Xing'er pass on the message, she doesn't believe that Qiu Hong is not guilty at all, she bites people without barking, but the 'virtuous man' is really powerful, one bite would kill her.As for Ming Huan, Qiu Hong and her like back then, there may be minor evils but not major evils.

Even though Qiuhong was hateful enough, there was nothing she could do.

However, if Qiuhong really gave her the handkerchief, she would just forget that she didn't know her in the future, they are all poor people, and there must be less interaction in the future.As for asking Xing'er to spread the word, it might not be without shocking Qiu Hong. Is it true that she has no temper and is easy to bully? Is it true that there is no price to be paid for bullying her!

It is difficult to be a good person, but not necessarily a bad person.

Three good words are worthless, but one bad word can kill a person.

Liu'er was carrying a small bundle, but no one was carrying it, so she knew the way by herself, so she came to the embroidery village, found Liu's sister-in-law, and told the truth, she explained why she came here.

Sister-in-law Liu just met Liu'er the day before yesterday, and she had a good impression of her, and she knew a thing or two about the dirty things in the inner house, especially Liu'er who had no foundation to get a good job, so she didn't say much, and told Liu'er with her usual expression Son, "You should wait here for tea and food. If you don't know how to ask Juan'er Fatty, I will talk about the rest in a few days. I have a lot of things here. I can't compare with the girl's place, but it can save some effort. Do things in an orderly manner, and it’s not a problem to make a living.”

Why didn't Liu Er understand that this was beating and comforting her? She didn't know what to do, her demeanor and words were more respectful, and Mrs. Liu's face became a little more gentle.

Liu'er was a top-notch girl among many clever girls in her previous life. In addition to a few wives who do rough work, there are two girls who are older than her and look ordinary. They are obviously not in the eyes of the master over there. , but also do some meticulous work here.However, because there are dozens of people in Xiuzhuang, this meticulous work does not seem so expensive, it is just doing odd jobs in the inner courtyard.

So there is no favorite here, and there is no need to hide it. Work hard, and within two days, you will get the nod from Mrs. Liu, and let her take care of the three resident masters, and ignore other chores.

Seeing that the errands are not complicated, there are only five master masters in residence, two of whom go home to live at night, and they are not so busy and go around all day.Actually, to be honest, it's not easy.

As for the servants in their yard, apart from her, no one else can serve these three great gods.

The three masters are Master Da Liu, Master Gao and Master Dong. The first two are okay, they are not friendly, but they are not difficult to serve, and they are not easy to make things difficult, especially Master Da Liu, who is different from another master with the same surname. Master Liu is really good-tempered.

As for the latter Master Dong, one of the top three, he is notoriously difficult to deal with, even the whole mansion knows that this man has a bad temper, is very picky, and even beats and scolds his servants. I don't even care about it.All the servants of the big family regard serving this woman as a hard job, and they live in a house with her, avoiding her, and taking a detour when passing by.

Needless to say, the rough envoy woman, without permission, could not even step into Master Dong's room. The other two maids couldn't stand the constant sneering and vicious behavior, and they didn't go in to serve them unless they had to.

Only Liu Er, who has only been here for two days and is still young, is rare to have been scolded by Master Dong, although Master Dong scolded him twice every day for nothing.In the past two days, Master Dong hasn't dropped a bowl, saucer or teacup, even if he hasn't given Liu'er a good face, it's really rare.

Therefore, it cannot be said that Sister-in-law Liu took care of her.

That night, Liu'er delivered tea and snacks for the last time. She had just returned to the tea room and planned to get some hot water to wash and rest when Qiu Hong came.

Liu'er was stunned for a moment, remembering that she asked Xing'er to pass on the message, looked at her face and looked at Qiu Hong, suddenly, she was not polite to her, "What's the matter? Did you bring the handkerchief?"

"Hmph, I'm so shameless, it's not for the sake of old-fashioned love, I don't bother to care about you, my eyelids are shallow, other people's things are so good, I don't know as much as you, here, I give you things, and I will treat you as if I don't know you from now on." people!"

Liu'er laughed, really, being a thief and calling for a thief is not self-inflicted, she doesn't think so, she is really inferior to such a foolish person, she took the veil unceremoniously, and took a look at it , she was the one who wanted the piece, put it away, straightened her face, and said, "Well, it's really a hero who sees the same thing, I hope you will do what you say, I will accept the handkerchief, walk slowly, I won't give it away. "

Seeing Qiuhong leaving with a sigh of anger, Liu'er shook her head with a smile, said hello to the woman who boiled water, and went back to the house with a pot of hot water.

Here, the advantage of a Hanyuan is that Liu'er can live by herself, and she can pick up her calligraphy practice, which makes her feel relieved.

It's inconvenient for the second girl to be in the courtyard. She probably gave birth to her hands in the past few months.

Xiuzhuang is a courtyard with two entrances. The front yard is the kitchen, laundry room, tea room, and even the carriage and stables in the house. Some women who do rough work live in the house, and there are two servants in the house.

Sister-in-law Liu's family is one of the servants of the two households. Her husband waits on the owner of the house to go out in carriages and horses. The two daughters are still young, and they both work in the master's yard and don't come back often.

As for the backyard, there are three permanent masters living in the east and west wing rooms, and the three main rooms are opened up, and the reverse room is where the other two master masters and the embroiderers usually work.

Liu'er, Juan'er, and Fatty, it can be said that apart from Liu's sister-in-law, there are some respectable people in this courtyard. Fatty and her mother live in the front yard, and Liu'er and Juan'er live in a corridor on the east side of the main house. Small ear room.Open the side door and go out to the corridor facing the side door of the east wing, where Liu'er lives, and the middle wall is simply separated.

The two girls, Juan'er and Fatty, are better friends, and they often whisper together when they have nothing to do. The girl who originally lived in Liu'er's room just entrusted her relationship and went to Hanyuan. Girl, Xiaocui was promoted to fill in Liu'er's vacancy, and changed her name to Cui'er.

A few days later, Cui'er came to see Liu'er, and she was a little embarrassed, but Liu'er didn't feel anything, didn't suspect that Cui'er had used any tricks, and even if they did, it wasn't against her, so she didn't have to worry about it.

Facts have proved that Tweety has no wrong thoughts about her, and she has to come to see her for nothing, and she often brings her to the house to hear about it.Tao'er would come to see her from time to time when she was not on duty, but she and Cui'er were never together, Liu'er watched attentively, the two were really normal, although they served the same master, they didn't get along very often.

Once I couldn't help asking Tao'er, Tao'er said, "If we don't get along, we are not on the same path."

As for Qiuhong, so far there is really not much contact in this mansion.

Now, Liu Er went back to the room and finished washing. She undressed and took off her hairpin ring. She was wearing the water-red satin inner garment brought by Xu's family, and leaned on the bed with her hair wrapped around. Quite a lot.

For a few days, a mouthful of turbid air dissipated.

Naturally, this veil was not embroidered by Qiuhong herself, nor was it brought from the Xu family, but was rewarded by the elder girl after she came to Feng's mansion.

The material is naturally good, and Shu silk is rare but not uncommon, and the small one is not much expensive.It's rare to be an embroidery worker. A very simple red plum blossom occupies a corner, and a branch occupies a black and white magpie. The other one is about to fly, but looks back at the other one.From a distance, it looks like a painting, showing that the embroidery is exquisite.

Liu'er has also seen some good things, so don't worry about it. Although the implication of the picture is not elegant, but this embroidery work, the more I look at it, the more I like it. Some stitches are clear, and some can't figure out the routine for a while. After looking at it for a long time , It was not until I was a little sleepy that I stuffed it under the pillow and fell asleep.

But he knew in his heart that it must be extraordinary to be able to be favored by a big girl because of this Kaixiu Zhuang mansion.Qiuhong doesn't know what to buy, but Liu'er has seen good things, so let's pay some price for her bullying.

Good things come in pairs, the next day Liu Er had just finished her morning errands and had lunch when Aunt Zhang came.
