The clever maid of the red mansion

Just talking about Lu'er, I feel like I'm cooking. I don't know how Second Mistress Lai will get rid of her.

She knows her own family affairs, and she is different from others, she did not give birth to a child in this mansion, and she has been exposed to too many secrets of the master, even if she wants to redeem herself, she may not be able to, it is her luck to marry the boy smoothly.

Terrible, I'm afraid I sent the master to be a concubine, don't let me tell you, maybe I drank the second grandma's soup with turnips, just like some people who have been fooled by oil.I also have to thank my master for helping me recuperate my body. I dream that I will have a baby that day.

Thinking wildly all the way, I finally arrived at the eldest girl's courtyard. I collected my mind and adjusted my expression before stepping into the courtyard gate.

Miss Feng didn't go out these days, she was doing work in the morning and evening, and she was bored in the morning, but someone caught her eye and hurriedly asked people to come in to talk, and asked the girl to pour tea and set fruits.

As for what was missing, Second Grandma's family was well-off, and the Feng sisters had been pampered for many years, so they didn't think it was too important in terms of possessions, so she didn't realize what was missing, so she just held onto Lu'er to talk for a while.Lu'er can read and write, and is in charge of the second grandma's yard. She has extraordinary knowledge in speech, and it is just a common skill to say what she sees.

Li Zi and Jin'er, two big girls next to the eldest girl, were doing work with their hands while paying attention to tea and snacks.The eldest girl likes to be quiet and doesn't like many people in the house. Except for the big girl who is close to her, the little girls are not easily called into the house.

But now these two big girls, who were second-class girls who have not been promoted for a year or two, are inferior to Lu'er in terms of speech and knowledge, and they can't get in the way. It's pleasing to the eye, even if she is now accompanying the room, Zhizi and Yingzi, the big girls, are incomparable to Lu'er. After all, it is her mother who will marry her, but it is a pity that her mother did not give it to her after two visits.

And because Lu'er was thinking about it today, she became more and more flattering to the eldest girl, so she simply kept her for lunch before letting her go.

Lu'er went out of the eldest girl's room, and stopped by to see the maids who made the eldest girl's dowry. After being out for so long, she could return to the second grandmother.

The ordinary maids who worked in the wing room, who didn't know the second grandma's first favorite person, sister Lu'er, when they saw her coming, they all got up to say hello, and they all greeted her with a smile.

Liu'er naturally knew this person, her status in the mansion was equivalent to that of the old lady in Jia's mansion and the former sister of Yuanyang, she had limited contact with her twice, her behavior and even her appearance and character were somewhat like that of a former sister of Yuanyang.

One by one, after seeing the embroidery work by someone's hands, because Liu'er went into the room and shrank into a corner, Hou Lu'er came to her, saw Liu'er doing the work, the stitches were neat and fine, and the cloth surface was even and clean, she couldn't help nodding secretly, and then Glancing at the little girl in front of her, if it wasn't for this neat appearance, she really wouldn't be able to remember this person, and said casually: "You are serving Master Dong in the embroidery village, what kind of Liu'er do you think?"

Liu'er hurriedly replied, "Return to sister Lu'er, it is Liu'er. The work is not good, the second grandma and the eldest girl don't dislike it, let my sister laugh."

"It's not good there. At your age, it's rare to do this. You can talk very well." It's interesting to think that when she was her age, she was not as dexterous as the little girl in front of her.

"It's fine for others to talk about it. A capable person like my sister didn't make Liu'er feel ashamed. Who in the whole house doesn't know that my sister is not only a good housekeeper, but also a needlewoman, and there are few women who can match her. Liu Ever since my son entered the mansion, his ears have been filled, and Second Mistress can't leave her for a moment."

Usually when people say this, Lu'er may feel a little proud in her heart, but now she hears it, but she doesn't show it, she praises Liu'er as usual and then goes away.

Liu'er is a small person, and in a fleeting moment, even though it was just a subtle change in her complexion, she realized that this elder sister Lu'er seemed to have something on her mind, and the matter was not small, and she was doing her job as usual, but she was thinking about it in her heart , When I go back at night, I have to consult Master Dong for details, presumably something happened in the mansion.

Now, Master Dong is a little more smokey than when Liu'er first came. The mother and son can occasionally quibble with each other, and their temper is a bit milder. Hello.

Now in the autumn season, I got sick again, even though I was cured, I still coughed occasionally, not as good as when Liu'er first came, she was cursing like a rainbow anytime and anywhere, and her spirit was much shorter.

The next day, Liu'er just waited for Master Dong to wake up and wash up, and the two of them just sat down to have breakfast.

Master Dong glanced at it, but continued to drink porridge slowly without saying a word.

Liu'er couldn't help but put down the bowl, "I'll go and have a look, maybe there's something important to do." It's nothing serious, even knowing that Master Dong doesn't drop dishes easily, Fatty doesn't like to come here easily.

She just opened the cotton curtain and came out, and she was grabbed by the fat girl. Now the fat girl is getting fatter and bigger, a head taller than Liu Er, twice as thick, her ability has not improved, and she is doing little girl errands, eating There are more and more.

Liu'er reckoned that there was a fat girl in the house, so she would have to lose money.Because there is an old lady who works in the kitchen, the compensation has increased.

"During my time, delaying my meal, someone is looking for you." After finishing speaking, she turned and ran away, doing her important business, and went to eat.

Liu'er turned her head and saw it was Tao'er. Before she could speak, Tao'er pulled her to one side of the wall and said in a low voice, "Be careful today, so as not to go to the mansion. My sister-in-law and cousin are in the small west courtyard. Running errands, last night, I heard that Master Qiuhong praised you. I knew that you and Qiuhong were not good, so I thought it was not a good thing, so I came here to tell you, you should make plans early. Don't say I was the one who blew it."

Liu'er flickered in her heart, without revealing her face, thanked Tao'er, and went back to have breakfast as usual, Master Dong asked, Liu'er agreed, presumably it was some trivial matter between the little girls, so she didn't bother to ask again.

The staff sent Chun'er to clean up, made tea for Master Dong, and Liu'er went out.

Not going to the Xiuzhuang is not a good thing, Liu Er thought to himself, if Qiuhong wanted to get herself to study by her side, she would have to go through the second mistress anyway, she found out that she was Master Dong's personal girl, so the second mistress would have to do it anyway. After going through Master Dong's level... coming and going, it's not a matter of a moment.

Besides, she is quite confident. Master Dong has always known that she doesn't want to go to the mansion, so she won't let anyone get her there easily, and the second mistress usually gives her face.

But it's better to tell the godmother about this matter. After these twists and turns, the godmother has an idea.

After leaving the embroidery village, I didn't care about avoiding suspicion, so I went directly to Second Lai's kitchen to find Zhenghe Mian's godmother.

Mrs. Zhang reconciled the dough a few times, put it aside to wake up, wiped her hands, and said with a smile to the lady in charge of the kitchen: "Old sister, I will go out for a while, and the child is angry at the thought of coming. Children's family, just explain a few words. Don't delay any mistakes, just go back."

Mrs. Zhang usually comes to do things, and the woman in charge is a bit respectable, and immediately agrees, "Go, don't delay the noon snack, and don't be in a hurry to come back. Someone asked about me."

Mrs. Zhang thanked her and took Liu'er to her own room. The people living with her were all on errands. There was no one else in the room, so she simply opened the window, pulled Liu'er to sit on the bed, and said in a low voice: "But What's the matter?"

In the past few years, she has somewhat figured out Liu'er's nature, regardless of her young age, she has an idea.The two of them here have always maintained this not-so-far-near relationship, and the two of them handed over under the guise of others, if there was no major event today, Liu Er would definitely not have come to her directly.

Liu'er then told her everything about Qiuhong.

Mrs. Zhang is not Liu'er. She is old and mature. After thinking about it for a while, her expression changed. I am afraid this matter is not as simple as it seems. She made a quick decision, "Go to the eldest girl's place later, do some work, and then pretend to have a stomachache. Diarrhea... do a full set of acting, you wait a while, I will come as soon as I go."

Mrs. Zhang went out for less than a cup of tea. When she came back, she held a small paper bag in her hand, poured a cup of tea, opened the small paper bag, poured some powder into the tea, shook it, and handed it to Liu Er, "Drink it, This time I can really have diarrhea, if this matter is not serious, I am afraid it will not be so easy to get past it."

Liu'er didn't doubt him, took a sip of the tea, wiped her mouth, still a little puzzled, "Is it really that important?"

Mrs. Zhang sighed, "You are so young that you don't know what's wrong here. I'm afraid Qiuhong is not simply asking you to grind it. Alas, although I can't say for sure, but if it's really not the case, if one of them is not good, you can just go in." Into the fire pit, life is at stake, we can't take chances, what's going on, I'll find out later."

Liu'er asked again, but Mrs. Zhang didn't want to talk about those dirty things to the girl, so she just told Liu'er to go to the elder girl's place, and if she got sick, she tried to go back to the embroidery village, and she would be safe with Master Dong's protection.

I don't know what Mrs. Zhang gave Liu'er, but when she arrived at the big girl's courtyard, she had an attack before she sat down and had a few injections. She went to the hut three times in a row, and her face turned pale.The girl reported to the eldest girl, Li Zi, the eldest girl in charge, came over to take a look, and after knowing the eldest girl, Liu'er was sent back to the embroidery village.

On the contrary, Master Dong was taken aback. Knowing that Liu'er just had a bad stomach, he breathed a sigh of relief and sent the little girl Chun'er to wait for Liu'er to go back to the room to rest, and sent someone to the kitchen to send some rotten meat for Liu'er at noon. Don't use porridge at all.

Liu'er lay on the bed and let out a sigh of relief, and finally calmed down temporarily, but wondered if the godmother could find out the details.

During lunch, Second Mistress Lu'er sent a little girl over. When Liu'er heard this, her face was relieved after drinking the porridge, but she turned pale with fright.
