The clever maid of the red mansion

The charming mother, Xia Er's family, and her sister, He Kui's family, were originally domesticated opera singers when the Duke was alive.Later, when he was old, he married a slave of the Jia family and had children, and since then he has taken root in the mansion.

But these two, because they were reduced to actors since they were young, apart from being able to sing and sing, being jealous and jealous, and serving their superiors according to the needlework rules, they couldn't get on the stage.In addition, her appearance and temperament are not outstanding, she doesn't have much calculations in her heart, and her appearance is a bit frivolous. Now at this age, people who work hard for their livelihood have already become dead fish eyes, and they are all about money.

Now Liu'er hears Xia Er's family scolding her daughter, her mouth is dirty, she is really troublesome, so she doesn't look good.

"What is Xia's mother doing? In the first lunar month, life and death, I don't know what to taboo."

The old daughter-in-law Xia has already come to Liu'er, how could she have the dignity to come to Jia's mother, and Liu'er didn't come in long, so of course she didn't recognize her.Seeing that Liu'er is young, she doesn't care too much, she just treats her as a little girl in Miss Lin's courtyard.

He only said: "Miss, don't worry about it, it's the first lunar month, why don't you ask me to teach my daughter a lesson. Come here, little whore, no matter how old the master is today, I can't save you!" As he spoke, he stretched his hand over Liu'er, and went to pull The lovely person in the back.

Liu'er stepped aside, she didn't want to be a pond fish, but her complexion was not good, and she raised her voice, "My daughter is yours, and she is serving in front of the master after all. This place is not far from the master, so it's noisy Noisy, mother still has some rules after all! I can’t control my daughter, she has to go outside to make noise, so I don’t care about my master. If there is really no solution, this place is not far from the second grandma’s place, called Sister Ping’er Come here to help you mediate and mediate, but it’s also made, so as not to look different during the Chinese New Year. In case the relatives who come to have a New Year’s wine meet, they will laugh at my family for being disrespectful. If it doesn’t work, I will go back and find the mandarin duck in the old lady’s room Sister, come and help you girls make peace, it is also possible."

Old daughter-in-law Xia is naturally not a fool, she immediately understood that this little girl was originally from the old lady's room, but she was a bit left-handed after all, although she didn't catch and beat her daughter again, she stood her ground, but said stubbornly, "It's the old lady You have to be reasonable, this little hoof, just went in to serve for a few days, and then she turned her tail and didn't listen to my mother. If you don't beat her now, her wings will be stiff in the future, and there will be no place for me to stand!"

"Sister Liu'er, don't listen to my mother. I have done a good job, and my parents insisted on letting me out! Tell me, are there such parents who don't expect their daughter to be good? Why don't you let my sister come out? Are you partial? Bian'er, treat me as a stepmother, woohoo!"

Liu'er understood, she glanced at Mei Ren who was holding her mother, and Mei Ren was also looking at Liu'er, with a bit of uneasiness on her face.It was her aunt He Kui's family. Seeing outsiders around, she softened her expression and persuaded him, "You girl, if it weren't for your sister, you would have gone in to serve her? The livelihood of the family depends on your sisters, why doesn't your mother miss you?" Okay? It’s just because you’re still young. It’s time to learn how to grow eyebrows and eyes. If you always follow your sister, what can you do? Everyone in the second master’s room will be released in the future. At that time, your sister You are also married, so what about you at that time. You have no ability to rely on, and you are used to food and clothing. No one is like me and your mother. Marrying a man who has no ability will suffer and suffer for a lifetime!"

Liu'er originally thought that these old sisters were all extremely stupid, but she didn't expect that they were not completely stupid.Especially the one from He Kui's family, who has a bit of knowledge. It's strange that he raised a girl who is as understanding as Xiaoyan, and Xiaojiu is not bad.But why didn't Xiaoyan go in now?

It's okay to be charming, but it's a pity that Keren, a sharp-tongued and careless person, has brought the whole family down.

"It's nice to say, anyway, it's not you who are out of errands, and it's not you who make people laugh. It doesn't hurt to stand up and talk! I don't want to, unless you force me to death, and then we'll see how you explain to the master!"

The old daughter-in-law Xia was so angry that she jumped up and went up to beat her again. At the moment, a big girl came out of Lixiangyuan, and she brought four thick old women, "Who is making noise here, but why are you dissatisfied with the big girl? If that's the case , tie them all up, and send them to Second Mistress, so as not to disturb the girl's peace."

The big girl said it was tied, but she was not joking, the four wives happened to be one for each of them, and they all had ropes hanging around their waists. They stepped forward a few steps, and without knowing how to move, they tied up the four wives lightly and swiftly. It's gone, and before he could ask for mercy, his mouth was covered again.

The big girl didn't even blink her eyes, Liu'er felt unspeakably weird, she couldn't laugh or cry, she stood there panicked.

Unexpectedly, the big girl turned her head and blinked at her, and said indifferently: "Sister Liu'er finally came to sit with us, and encountered such a mess, the girl is really sorry, let the elder sister just go back first and deal with it later Yes, naturally the girl is satisfied."

Really, it's hard to find a confidant!

Liu'er laughed out loud, and said politely, the eldest girl's affection was to the end, and she said a few good words to the four of them face to face, seeing the older girl smiling and nodding in agreement, she turned around and left with the little girl carrying the burden up.

As for Keren, after the first month of the lunar year, I don't know how Miss Lin got it, but she gave it to Lian's second grandma, and she was under Feng'er's command.Feng'er is a smart person, and there are masters like Lian's second grandmother and Ping'er on top, so it's okay to be dishonest, wait for Lian's second grandmother's hairpin to pierce her mouth, or go out and kneel under the sun.

Liu'er went back to the room, and the little girl who delivered the things grabbed the copper coins and sent them away. Then she turned around and packed up the things that Miss Lin had given her, and stared blankly at the last box of gold, silver and jewelry. Sighing, he took out a simple jadeite ring and put it on, and put the rest in the cage.

Put the fruit and snacks outside to entertain people, but I like the box of small toys very much, pick out two and put them aside, pick them up and play for a while if you have nothing to do.

In the first lunar month, the family is busy inviting New Year wine, although the servants are busy, they don't need Liu'er and other people in the master's room.And the masters are also busy eating New Year's wine everywhere, and they have decent big girls to follow.For someone like Liu'er, she can also relax and free up time for her to do her own things.

Leaving aside the picture for Miss Lin, I was secretly thinking about making another large screen core, but I don’t need to discuss this with her in detail. Choose the rich and auspicious one, which can be used everywhere, so there is no rush.

From this, I thought of Yang Mei, in addition to expressing gifts on the surface, she naturally had to give something else in private, after all, she was devoted to her, and she was able to show her affection.

Big ones are out of the question, and we don’t have that much time to spend, but small ones need to be considered.In particular, Yangmei is literate and knowledgeable, and her husband-in-law is a student and an official, but she has to do what she likes.Suddenly it occurred to me that the landscape embroidery piece for Master Dong was suitable, and it didn't take much effort, so I cut one or two, and made it again, which is easy to master, and immediately made up my mind.

In addition to these two people, there are two other homemade needlework.Make clothes for godmother and master Dong.It was supposed to be done years ago, but unfortunately I never got the chance, and the things were not complete, and I didn't dare to make too much publicity when I first came to the mansion.

The two of them each made jackets, which were suitable for wearing in the future, and the materials were ready-made, so they had to make some small things for Nanny Lai.

Calculated in this way, after the first month, there is no free time, and it is estimated that everyone will be busy this year.

Who knows, she hasn't started to be busy yet, but she will start to be busy as soon as the first month of the house comes out.

When it was almost the first month, Ma Daopo came to the mansion, and the masters from all over the place wandered around.I don't know what was said elsewhere, but the old lady said it here.

"Old Ancestor, I made a calculation yesterday, and the family is experiencing little luck this year. Although luck is a bit mysterious, it's better to raise it artificially."

The old lady didn't care about spending a couple of coins just to make it auspicious, so she believed it or didn't.She knows this group of people best, success may not be enough, but failure is more than enough.

Immediately asked: "Is there any way to save this? You may not know, although I believe this, but the second child in our family is the most left-hearted, and he doesn't talk about strange powers, and takes the words of the saints as imperial edicts. "

Ma Daopo understood, and said with a smile: "But you don't need to worry too much, you don't even need to spend a penny. It is said in the scriptures that there is a Bodhisattva in the west who specializes in illuminating darkness and evil spirits. If you worship sincerely, you can treasure your house peaceful.

"I don't know how to worship this Bodhisattva?"

Ma Daopo said: "It's not worth anything. In addition to offering incense and candles, you can light a sea lantern. It's the Dharma image of the Bodhisattva, and it doesn't stop day and night. In addition, the window screens in the house are all pasted with pink and red." Ah, it’s fine to wait for a slightly red color.”

It was simple, the old lady was happy, and rewarded her with 50 taels of silver.Then it was ordered that all the window screens in the house were changed.

When Yuanyang took the silver, she murmured to Liu'er, "I think it's more frustrating than lighting sea lanterns. The window screens are ready-made, and the women who are first-class workers are going to chew maggots again."

Liu'er didn't make a sound, thinking: In the evening, Miss Lin should send someone to deliver the faded blue window screen.

She has to keep some more, no matter what color it is, maybe it can be used in the future.

Especially the four-color soft smoke, which looks like smoke from a distance, is the best for double-sided embroidery.
