The clever maid of the red mansion

A woman from the tea room came to call Liu'er, Liu'er was a little puzzled at first, except for this family member, there should be no acquaintances to see her come, right?

Seeing Aunt Zhang sitting in the tea room, Liu'er was stunned, feeling warm in her heart, ran up a few steps, and hugged her, "Auntie is still thinking about Liu'er, who am I talking about, no one will remember that there are people like us in this world." Number One."

Saying that Aunt Zhang’s eyes were also astringent, she patted Liu’er and said, “I’m sorry to see you, why is it like this, how old are you, and you still put it crookedly? Speak well, I will accompany you Aunt Li, your time is limited, you can work harder After a while, I will follow back."

Liu'er calmed down, thanked the woman, brought Aunt Zhang to her room, gave up her seat, and poured tea quickly, Aunt Zhang looked at her a few times, and said, "Don't be too busy, I see you are doing well, I'm relieved. You are smart, but if you use your mind, you will only live well. Although there are many people here, there is no serious master, and a lot of things are missing. It's not for nothing that there are many people who work hard. .”

Liu'er sat down next to Aunt Zhang, nodded, and said like a little adult: "That's what you said, it's not too late, you'll know if Liu'er doesn't say it, it's only been a few days, that's it, I just learned from the second girl The yard has been demoted, and this is the third day today. But it’s a waste of time. I see that this place is suitable for rough people like me. It’s all work, and everyone is the same. You don’t have to think about being rejected by the master and offending others all day long. You've done your own thing, and no one cares about you. So Auntie doesn't have to worry about Liu'er, Liu'er's life is cheap, and life is easy."

Aunt Zhang was amused by Liu'er's serious appearance, and nodded approvingly, "You understand, I'm just worrying in vain. I also figured out the way here," thinking of something, lowered her voice and continued, "Don't look This embroidered village is inconspicuous, but there are a few of them who are capable, especially Master Dong. If you are really clever, you can make up your own mind and don’t say goodbye. There is a master named Liu who is said to be good too."

This surname Liu refers to Master Liu, who has a good temper and good craftsmanship, and is also popular in the courtyard.Unlike the others, they easily keep people from getting close to their work.

What Aunt Zhang said was really for Liu'er, and it also spoke to her heart. After living two lives, Liu'er couldn't bear it, her eyes were hot, her nose was sore, she grabbed Aunt Zhang's hand, and said softly: "Auntie has one heart Thinking about Liu'er, Liu'er knows the importance, but that one is cold-tempered and can't be in a hurry. The others are kinder, they can't be hanged from a tree, I should be careful."

The two mothers said some more personal words, and then Aunt Zhang left.

As soon as Aunt Zhang was sent away, Juan'er over there ran out and called her, "Liu'er, what are you doing, you know that you are running like crazy, and you didn't hear Master Dong calling for someone! Go ahead, or everyone will die!"

In this courtyard, Juan'er can be considered an old man, so towards Liu'er, she has a bit of a senior attitude.

Liu'er didn't care, she ran to the tea room a few steps, brought a pot of hot water, and suddenly smelled the aroma from the stove next to her, but the sweet-scented osmanthus cake had just come out of the cage, there is no shortage of sweet-scented osmanthus at this time of year, especially in the house, so Several kitchens in the house have been doing it from time to time recently.

Walking over in a hurry, he smiled at the woman who was busy on the stove: "Madam, please put a plate of snacks, Master Dong coughed again in the past two days, taking advantage of the heat, it warms the stomach and relieves the cough, although it is colder and more palatable. "

A few words, big pearls and small pearls falling on the jade plate, were crisp and pleasant, and the mother-in-law couldn't help teasing her, "Oh, I'm so young, but I know that this sweet-scented osmanthus can warm the stomach and relieve cough? It's not because you want to eat it yourself !" That's what he said, he kept his hands on, took a clean plate and filled the snacks, Master Dong is a character in this yard, with such a temper, no one dares to stroke his beard.Otherwise, if they drop all the dishes, forget it on their stove, this is what Grandma Lai said.

So, who didn't carefully serve this ancestor.

Liu'er knew that the old woman was teasing her, but she didn't mind, squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "what the aunt said, Liu'er wants to eat, why don't you just have the heart to watch and refuse to give it? Liu'er in the house has heard people say, this Mrs. Wang, who is in charge of the kitchen, is very kind-hearted."

"Tsk tsk, you little mouth, come here just after you ate honey, and you're so glib, you girl, if you want to eat something, just come to the auntie."

Liu'er took the steaming snack and said, "Liu'er thanked the aunt first, no wonder Sister Fat Ya treats people kindly, it turns out that Mrs. Genzi is here, let me tell you."

Fatty treats Liu'er kindly, that's compared with Juan'er, Aunt Wang didn't know, sighed, and said in a low voice, "Your fat sister is a fool, not as smart as you, from now on, you will know if you kiss her more often Yes, although she doesn't understand, she has no bad intentions. I'm just telling you, it's to save face for the aunt, and to take care of her when things happen, don't let those tricks go out of her way. is you."

Liu'er knows who others are referring to, she doesn't show it on the surface, but she doesn't think so in her heart, she walks on her own, she doesn't know what to do, what can others do, pity the world's parents, she is not good at talking, she is more polite After a sentence, I went to Master Dong's room.

After entering the east wing of the backyard, and returning to the outer room, I heard a low weeping sound coming from the room. Suddenly, Master Dong scolded sharply, "I'm clumsy, and I still have the face to cry. If you are wronged, you can't do it. Useless things, the relationship will grow." You can't help but be swollen, look at this hand, tsk, it's swollen like a carrot!"

That's right, the one who scolded people is that Master Dong, who always speaks bad words without showing mercy, no matter who it is.

Although I haven't been here for a few days, Liu'er has heard it several times, so I just need to get used to it.

Just got a plate of hot dessert from my old lady, Liu'er couldn't help it, but as for the effect, she can't control it.

"Master Dong, can Liu'er come in? The hot water has just been boiled, and it's time to make tea." Gently told outside.

One of Master Dong's rules is that no one is allowed to enter her room at will, no matter who it is.It's still a work room, the inner bedroom, don't mention it, I always clean it up by myself, and others dare not go overboard.

"Get out, useless things!"

As if she had received an amnesty, in the blink of an eye, the fat girl ran out from the inside with tears in her eyes, chasing after a ghost, with a slightly obese body, and she was extremely flexible at this time.

There were two low coughs from inside, and after holding out for a while, he said, "Come in." He couldn't hear any joy or anger in the voice, but he managed his emotions well.

Holding a snack and carrying a kettle, Liu'er walked in lightly, and glanced at the room. Master Dong was sitting by the embroidery frame under the window, but he was looking at it with a strand of blue embroidery thread in his hand. He didn't dare to look at it. Put it lightly on the small table, took a few small celadon teacups, and started to make tea swiftly.

"Osmanthus fragrans cake just out of the pot, you can use some, with hot tea, it warms the stomach and relieves cough, it looks sweet." In fact, she wanted to say that it smelled sweet, but when she thought of this quirk, she was very worried, a' When the word "wen" came out, this man threw the plate with his face turned backwards, maybe he thought his own nose had smelled it.

Master Dong raised his eyes to look at Liu'er, his face was pale and expressionless, as if he was not her just now, and said in a flat voice, "It's hard for you to think about me being annoying." After a short pause, he looked at Liu'er again With two eyes, he put down the embroidery thread casually, got up and sat down on a few other couches, took a sip of hot tea, picked up a piece of pastry and ate some, then put it down, looked at Liu'er, and ordered: "Go and take those few Split a thread for me, how many strands I can split."

In this room, Master Dong is the emperor, with golden mouth and jade teeth, what he says is what he says.Liu'er didn't dare to neglect, she got up obediently, and went to get the embroidery thread, but Master Dong said coldly behind her: "Wait a minute, wash your hands first."

Liu'er washed her hands obediently, and Fang went to the small table next to the embroidery frame to embroider thread. She didn't dare to find a stool to sit on, so she just stood there, folded in full vigor, her fingers fluttered, and began to split the thread neatly.

Two times, four times, eight times... no matter how many, it is impossible.

This is already Liu'er's great ability, no matter how much it is, it will take some work. I also know that Master Dong is waiting, so she is not allowed to dawdle.Although she was praised for being clever and opportunistic in the past, she just split it in two, put more care into it, and split it in four. Today, she is trying to please and risk her life.In the past, most of them put a lot of thought into needlework and tailoring. They looked dexterous and wore ironing posts. They were better than the people in the sewing room. But no one compared them with the experienced embroiderers outside. I don’t know exactly what level I am. .

Unexpectedly, Master Dong glanced at her and said: "It's hard for you, but I have a way, and I will let you get the thread from now on... Tell Mrs. Liu, you will take care of my errands in the future... Forget it, or Let me tell you...why, you are not happy?"

Liu'er was ecstatic and flashed his kung fu, Master Dong lost his face, and when he saw something bad, he hurriedly replied, "I don't know if Liu'er is willing or not, but you have been serving me, and I have been fascinated by it. It is true that Liu'er can develop some skills. In the future, if you can have someone to rely on, and have enough food and clothing, you will be able to accumulate virtues from your ancestors, and it will be considered Liu'er's good fortune."

Master Dong's complexion softened, and he snorted coldly, "You are a good boy, you are not young but you are not young, and you think about it in the long run - it's rare... I can't help but tell you, it is indeed your good fortune to be able to serve me by my side, Whether you can figure out what's going on here depends on your own understanding, don't expect anything else. Go ahead and call Mrs. Liu over."

Sister-in-law Liu is only in her twenties or thirty, whoever doesn't call her sister-in-law Liu will immediately become a wife when she comes to this person.No matter what Liu Er thinks, Master Dong must be a few years older than Sister Liu.

However, not to mention Liu'er, even Liu's sister-in-law, you can only be careful and respectful in front of this one, don't say it is called mother-in-law, even if you call it mother-in-law, you have to listen. It's not impossible to be angry.

Although Liu'er is very happy with this job, she dare not take it lightly. Many people have suffered from Master Dong, and she is no better than others. Be careful and work hard.

Facts proved that Liu'er's idea was right. Early the next morning, she was scolded bloody by Master Dong.
