The clever maid of the red mansion

Master Dong's illness was like a sudden fire, and the fire passed through the Book of Changes, and he had some old symptoms on weekdays, and he fell ill all at once.

Now, although she is holding back her words, but the crux of the problem is still there, Liu'er's life and death are still uncertain, so how can she recover from her illness with peace of mind.

Liu'er didn't look right, if Master Dong's illness was good or bad, she would have committed a serious crime, she was thinking inwardly.

After all, Master Dong is awake and can eat porridge with medicine. The porridge was boiled in Wang Ma's heavy kitchen, and a few tonics were added, which is what Master Dong used to eat when he was sick.

Liu'er was exceptional, and went back to the inner room, seeing Master Dong closing his eyes, his face still extremely ugly, after thinking about it, he sat on the footsteps beside the bed, and said softly: "Master, don't worry, it's not sure if you haven't reached the last step." After a few days, this matter faded away."

Master Dong suddenly opened his eyes, and fixedly looked at Liu'er, "Although life and death are fateful, you still have to make a living. You are still young, so you can't ruin this place. You have always been a planner, but what's your idea? I have made up my mind, if I can help you, just tell me! Life and death are at stake, so don’t worry too much.”

Speaking of worries, Liu Er really didn't have no worries, just don't worry about it, there is only one thing, she can't let Master Dong go.

But now I can't say this anymore, isn't it to add trouble to Master Dong.

With Master Dong's arrogance, how could he be willing to become a burden to himself.

As if knowing Liu'er's doubts, Master Dong closed his eyes, and quietly said: "I know this illness well, I just take care of it, it's nothing important. I want to die cleanly, but the sin has not been redeemed, so I have to keep this breath."

Liu'er lowered her head, but still didn't speak, unable to get over the hurdle in her heart.

Except for Aunt Zhang, only Master Dong, who is even a little closer than her serious relatives, is warm and cold, and it is not easy to meet someone who is sincere.

"If you can escape this time, you will have the opportunity to take care of me if you have the heart in the future; if you can't, you won't be able to take care of yourself when things come to an end, so why are you so hesitant. I can't tell you that your life is too miserable. Once I died of illness, you have fulfilled me. I have nothing to do, I'm just afraid that you will have trouble in your own heart." After speaking, he didn't speak anymore, just closed his eyes and rested, as if he had exhausted his energy and energy.

After all, Liu'er was silent for a long while, and then said in a low voice: "Maybe there is a way to leave here, and the mansion can't do anything to me. I just hope that the master will do what he said, and live for a long time, so that Liu'er can have the opportunity to respect you." One or two."

"Don't worry, even if I am liberated, when you repay your kindness, people will die like a lamp going out, but the candlestick is still there, so there is no need to clean it up."

After a long while, neither of them spoke, Liu'er got up, and wanted to do some of Master Dong's work, as much as possible.

"Go, I'll take care of my mind. I don't have to worry about my work. No one can force me to do things. A hen can only lay eggs if she is alive."

That's what Master Dong said, Liu'er has been sewing for more than an hour after all, thinking about how to deal with this terrible thing in her mind.

After lunch, the godmother came.

In the past two days, Mrs. Zhang didn't care about any scruples, so she came and directly pulled Liu'er back to her room to talk.

"I've thought about it carefully, and I can't sit still. If you can't hide, your life will be over. If it doesn't work, let's use the old method, get sick, say hello to the doctor you often come and go, and you may not be able to go out."

Liu'er grabbed the godmother's hand, patted it lightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, godmother, I have an idea now, I just don't know if it will work, if it does, the sky will be full of clouds .”

Mrs. Zhang usually has ideas, but now she is in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Let's talk, it's better to have ideas than to be blind, but what needs me to do, just focus on the future, if there is nothing."

"It's not that important. I heard that there is an old lady Lai who has a long history. She walks around the house occasionally, and even the master respects her. This old lady Lai likes smart girls. I thought about it." , Shall I give it a try. If it works, it’s fine, if it doesn’t, it’s just like this, it’s nothing.”

Although Mrs. Zhang is not as good as Liu'er when she comes here, she can't easily enter the main room to serve her, so she should know that there is a lot of news.

Thinking about it for a moment, he clapped his hands suddenly and said: "There is such a saying. The women in the kitchen have murmured that the old lady who is the housekeeper of the Rong Mansion, relying on the power of the Duke's Mansion, also has a house and a land, and has a lot of servants. It is said that the grandson has also received the grace of the master, studied since he was a child, and donated his birth."

"It's his house, the master here is also flattering."

"That being said, the old lady doesn't come often after all. It seems that grandma hasn't come here after her birthday, right? Even if she does come, it's not easy to get her blue eyes. Thinking about the duke's mansion, there are no girls. The old lady's vision must be It's not normal, how can it be as easy as you think."

Liu'er couldn't explain the reason, so she could only say: "As it is now, a dead horse should be treated as a living horse doctor. If you get a chance, try it. Godmother just pay attention, if it comes, try your luck, or there may be a chance The vitality is also unknown. In this way, it is better than us desperately tossing and tossing."

Now that there is a first chance, Mrs. Zhang is old and smart, but she doesn't want to wait, she thought for a while, and said: "Since that's the case, let's think of a way to let the old man come earlier, it's not a problem to wait like this. "

That's what I said, but Mrs. Zhang and Liu'er, after all, are humble and can't hand over to the masters of the mansion. It's really impossible to think about it. I have something on my mind, so I have to put it aside for now.

Master Dong was ill and needed rest. Liu'er was busy doing needlework besides serving her.

Now she is doing more, so as to free up time for Master Dong to take care of himself.

If you really follow Nanny Lai, you may have rare free time to do needlework at first, but after a while, you can always find gaps, and you can continue to use them.

As for whether she can be the same as in her previous life, with Nanny Lai, now, Liu'er is not very sure, she can calm down just by doing needlework.

The medicine is suitable for the symptoms, and it can be taken and digested easily. After all, Master Dong is getting better at night, and he just lies sleepy and does not speak.

Liu'er was worried, so she moved to the couch inside the house so that she could take care of her at night.

After tidying up, seeing that Master Dong didn't need anything for a while, she couldn't sleep because of something on her mind, so she simply took out her only book and read it under the lamp.

Although Master Dong has many books, most of them are not suitable for Liu'er's taste. This "Thousand Character Essay" was bought by Liu'er with her own pocket, and she has read it countless times.

Slowly, when I saw the sentence "Rongzhiruosi, calm words, honesty and beauty at the beginning, prudence in the end, it is better to make friends and score points, and sharpen the rules", I suddenly thought of the big girl Lu'er, and lowered my eyes to meditate

The next day, after getting up early to serve Master Dong's medicine and food, he sent Dong'er to find Tao'er, the two muttered for a while, and sent Tao'er out.

At this time, Chun'er, who was looking for her godmother, had come back. After a while, Mrs. Zhang also found a chance to come over. The two mothers were looking for a place to carry their backs, and they muttered again, and Mrs. Zhang also went indifferently.

At noon, I went to the kitchen to pick up tea and rice. I ran into my cousin Wu Gui’s house who was eating next to me. Seeing Liu’er carrying some heavy food boxes, I sneered and said, “Oh my mother, the girl is decent anyway. How to do such a rough thing, be careful. The girl's delicate skin is dirty."

Liu'er didn't want to talk to her at first, but suddenly she had an idea, stopped, looked at Wu Gui's family and raised her eyebrows and sneered, "My cousin just talks and jokes here, and treats her relatives as outsiders, and if she suffers a loss, she will know how powerful she is, sooner or later."

He hesitated to speak, seemed to have made a slip of the tongue, hurriedly concealed a smile, and hurried to leave.

How could Wu Gui's family let her go? Throwing down the chopsticks, he got up and grabbed Liu'er, and grabbed the food box, "My dear sister, we are serious relatives, am I the one who has no heart? Let's go, sister-in-law will help you send it back , How can your children have the strength to do this?"

Liu'er showed reluctance on her face, but she couldn't squeeze the strength of Wu Gui's family, so she had to let her carry them into the backyard together.

Wu Gui's family saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so they grabbed Liu'er and said in a low voice: "You know sister-in-law has a bad mouth, but she has no bad intentions, and you will be rewarded after we get better. Tell sister-in-law, but what's wrong with Qiuhong .She's a girl in the house, and she didn't even get along with my aunt, so I always feel that I don't have a lot of support. Don't get involved with her before you get married, but it's a loss."

Liu'er knew her virtues, so she didn't show her face, and said after a little hesitation: "Compared with us, we are closer, and I don't like her style, so I just tell you secretly. Offended grandma, I'm afraid I won't get good fruit from her in the future. Especially grandma has a distant relative who is capable, she seems to be called Mrs. Lai, once grandma begs her, the master is promoted and accepts grandma's favor, you will see when the time comes It's strange to have Qiuhong standing there. It's hard to say if you can still think of someone like Qiuhong. But now, grandma probably hasn't thought of this, and she can live for a few days. Sister-in-law, don't talk to her It's better to get too close."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at the yard again. Seeing no one was there, he hurriedly took the food box from Wu Gui's family, and walked into the east wing with a few steps.

At this time, Wu Gui's family was thinking about something, so they didn't pay attention to Liu'er.

In the next afternoon, Ye Zi, who had conveyed the message to Lu'er, came again, and the two of them talked outside the East Wing, "Sister Lu'er, can you make a dress?"

Liu'er smiled and said: "What's the matter, but if sister Lu'er is in a hurry, I'll catch up tonight. Speaking of it, it's a joke, and it's better to work at night. When I was young, there was an old lady next door. The surname Lai seems to come to sit at home from time to time, seeing what is pleasing to the eye, and then asks to go, it is very annoying, especially likes needles and threads. Because she has a son who is in charge of a rich family, she must be asked to do things. No one else treats her All the neighbors like to do needlework at night when there is no one around, and it’s all practiced like this.”

The two talked a few more words, Liu'er had to give Ye Zi a delicate purse, and sent her away.

Liu'er's hard work was not in vain. Three days later, Xin'er came to the house.

The next day, people were invited to enjoy the chrysanthemum in the mansion. It is said that some female family members who had been in close contact were invited.

Firstly, the eldest girl is going to get married next year, which is the last Mid-Autumn Festival in this mansion.Second, the second girl heard that there was a gardener surnamed Fang outside the west city, and his family had inherited the skill of growing chrysanthemums.

Among them, there is real care, but it should be the second grandma, but she doesn't know much, but Liu'er knows it well.

Therefore, except for the handkerchiefs handed over by the eldest girl and the second girl, among the relatives and friends, some of them were able to be invited.

Nanny Lai, of course.

There were many people coming, but there were not enough people there, so Liu'er was requisitioned again, and she was ordered to serve for a day.

That night Liu'er was so excited that she couldn't sleep.
