The clever maid of the red mansion

In other words, after Liu'er sent the red bayberry back here, all the way from Xijiaomen to the mansion, when she met girls, women, daughters-in-law, whether they knew each other, they all came forward with a smile on their faces and said a few words, the intimacy made Liu'er flattered .

What good thing happened?Surprised these snobs?The sun really came out from the west.

I was supposed to go back to the old lady's room to answer, but finally walked to the back porch, just in time Xiren came out, saw Liu'er, took two steps forward, and said with a smile: "My sister sent Sister Yangmei back, The old lady just said that sister Yangmei left and lost an arm, and she still called Yangmei Yangmei when she had something to do. Everyone also said that Yangmei is gone, and there is a willow here. Among the girls, everyone is accompanying the old lady. My wife is joking, but congratulations to my sister."

Liu'er suddenly felt in a good mood, looked at Haba'er, and said with some doubts: "Sister Yangmei is naturally capable. Don't say any more, I'm just worrying about it. Sister Yangmei has always taken care of me, and now I want her It’s difficult to mention something. I just don’t know, where does my joy come from?”

Xiren covered his mouth and smiled cleverly for a while, then said: "My sister just came back from outside, I don't know if there is. Just now the second grandma said that the old lady is short of two first grades. It happened that the eldest girl mentioned her sister, and the second grandma also said You are good, the old lady nodded, now my sister is not happy, hehehe."

"Same joy, same joy, I'll go in and answer first, and I'll talk to my sister later." Liu'er didn't know how to react, why did she hear this voice, it sounded like Haba'er's secret promotion back then!

In fact, according to Miss Lin, she also knew that it would be a matter of time before she was promoted, and it would be a lie to say that she was unhappy, but she was not too excited in her heart, and she intentionally put on a smile on her face.

I went in and answered the old lady's words, and said something about how grateful Yangmei's family was, but it was just to make the old lady happy.

Then he kowtowed to the old lady and sincerely said, "I will serve the old lady carefully in the future, and I will live up to the grace of the old lady and the value of the masters."

In fact, to the old lady, Liu Er has been very grateful for both her life. The old lady has always liked her. Without the old lady, and without her past and present lives, I don't know where she died.

Thanks again to Grandma Lian and Miss Lin, both smiled and encouraged me.Especially the eldest girl, she had a meaningful smile, Liu'er could only pursed her lips, smiled and blinked her eyes, the two of them remained silent.

Since then, Liu Er has become the big girl by the old lady's side. Although her real name is still Yang Liu, since the old lady, everyone is used to calling her Liu Er.

As for how to keep the name and not be tarnished by quails, cormorants and wild ducks, after listening to Cuimo and the others, I also know the general idea.

Not long after Liu'er went out to send Yangmei home that day, the eldest girl brought the girl to pay her respects to the old lady.She held a white jade bottle in one hand, with a few green willows that had just sprouted new buds inserted in it, and she showed it to the old lady when she entered the room, "Look at the old ancestors, they usually only say that their granddaughters are not filial, but they only know that they are not filial from the old lady." My wife has poured out good things here. Today, children and granddaughters are here to honor their ancestors, and invited the jade bottle in the hands of Guanyin, and the willow branches that will return to the earth in spring, and the other half of the bottle will be the nectar of poplar twigs that will bring life back to life."

The old lady laughed immediately, and said to the people on the side: "You still said that Yu girl is generous, now look at it, but she is too stingy, let alone say it, and use the guise of a bodhisattva to make up an old woman, let me not say it, I think The whole thing is worth some silver, and it's just this jade bottle of mutton fat."

Lin Daiyu immediately refused, came to the old lady, held up the bottle and said: "All day long, people say that the old ancestor is knowledgeable, and that money is not worth it. Although a garden full of chickens cannot be closed, a branch of red apricot is worthless. But there is another saying that an inch of time is an inch of gold. It is also said that flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again. Now I take [-] silver, who of you can buy a red apricot that came out of the wall last year? Now I am not a few branches Ordinary willow branches, but the spring breeze cut a few strands of j□j, and just brought them into the house for the ancestors, let alone full of spring, it is not far from it. Ancestor, tell me, it is not worth thousands of dollars!"

Second Master Bao flattered him, "Sister is not an ordinary person, this is very true. It is said that spring is always spring, but I don't know that people in Tang Dynasty have a sentence of "Where does spring grow early, and spring grows in the eyes of willows." Hemerocallis, it’s wicker that reveals the spring light.’ Needless to say, ‘a tree with spring breeze, ten thousand branches, tenderer than gold and softer than silk.’ It is said that the willow branches are graceful and lovely. Later, they also asked Xiren and the others to fold a few branches and put them in the room. on."

The old lady heard this, and said: "Come on, drop the bookbag and go back and drop it with your sisters. It made me dizzy in the morning. Your old man asked you to be so eloquent about learning, why are you so frightened that you avoid cats and mice. "

At that moment, the Sanchun sisters came in and looked at the lovely willow branches in the net bottle. In the room, swallows and warblers suddenly sang poems and songs, all of them were unique, and they flattered the old lady.

The old lady shook her head and said: "Don't make me happy, I know your filial piety, thinking about that girl Yangmei is gone, I feel empty for a while, why should you be like this, okay, let's all go to class, don't It's an eyesore here."

The eldest girl burst into laughter when she heard the words, the willow branch had already been put on the table by the girl, and she came over and shook the old lady's arm, "Old ancestor, don't others know about us? There is no need to sigh, sister Yangmei is gone, sister Yangliu is here, it can be seen that God can't see that the ancestors are not at all, to make up for your old man's arrival, the granddaughter also gave three or two wicker sticks, just in line with Jinger."

The old lady smiled, and nodded the big girl's forehead, "You are a good little monkey spirit, you are the only one who can say it, and you will make my old lady happy. Don't think that my old eyes can't see it. That suet jade bottle is not a head. Did you take it to plant plum blossoms in Niannian? It was my old man’s property, but you would borrow flowers to present to Buddha, just to be cute.”

For a moment, everyone in the room couldn't help laughing.Yuan also knew, but no one pointed it out, which made the old lady happy. A jade bottle is not in the eyes of the old lady.

Since then, Liu'er has not changed her name, and still calls her that.

Although I have always known how to hide clumsiness, everything will never come out.But today is not what it used to be, if the old lady was not held up by the big tree, this mansion would be much more dangerous than the Feng family's small temple, and there would be a lot more bad guys.

Therefore, as long as a girl should have the ability, Liu'er did not blindly hide it.Needless to say, he is good at needlework, and he is also very good at rules. He is also literate and can speak well to please the old lady.Unlike the mandarin ducks, which are generous and steady, the little girl who is revealing her share is smart and cute, and soon becomes the proud person besides the mandarin ducks around the old lady.

Sometimes when Lian's second wife sang together, they almost didn't laugh the old lady's stomach ache, and shouted: "I can't ask them to open their mouths together in the future, isn't it to kill the old lady? If you add a jade, it will be terrible. My cheeks are sore." The waiter in the room couldn't bear it, so he ran out to laugh.

But Liu Er said with a smile: "The old lady said yesterday that there is no taste in her mouth, and that everything she eats is not sweet, but now there is no taste. I think I can eat half a bowl more for dinner. This is the second grandma and the girls. Filial piety. The old lady must help everyone, laugh more, otherwise, if you don’t eat half a bowl more, don’t blame everyone for not being filial. Don’t make your cheeks sore for a while, and save the rice. .”

For a while, everyone in the room couldn't stop laughing, and they poured tea and rubbed their stomachs. Sister Feng is a good talker, and now she is pointing Liu'er, not knowing what to say.

But Liu Er suddenly clapped her hands, thinking of something, "Oh, Sister Yuanyang also told me not to ask the old lady to eat too much for dinner, so as to save food. She said that the old lady has a bad appetite recently, but the fire is very strong in the spring, so I want to eat a lot of food. To nourish the yang and clear the fire, it is better to eat more to reduce the fire, drink more white fungus, bird's nest and lotus seed porridge, if the old lady eats half a bowl of rice at night, sister Yuanyang will blame me, what should I do! "

The old lady was speechless after laughing, she smiled for a long time before pointing at Liu'er, and shouted to type out, "I thought our house would be lively enough with a few phoenix hot peppers, but then we got a Yu'er, which is also a bit narrow. Now There is such a girl, but what to do. She is worse than her second grandmother, and she will marry her in the future. Oh, my cheeks are sore, I want to eat half a bowl of rice in the evening, and let your sister Yuanyang come back and tell you , all of us can’t say you’re too smart, little ghost.”

Talking and laughing, everyone can naturally see that the old lady likes this little girl.Although the Second Mistress was flattering, she couldn't flatter her all day long. As a personal girl, Liu'er was different.

I don't know what other people think, but Sister Feng has to give Liu Er a high look. She originally looked at the big girl and treated her kindly.Looking at this girl's words and deeds now, although the old lady likes it, she puts mandarin ducks first in everything.

As for the old lady, it goes without saying that Liu'er is always there to serve her on weekdays, but whenever the old lady is bored, and Liu'er doesn't, someone must find her to serve her, it has been agreed.

And seeing the Flower Festival on the twelfth day of the second lunar month, which is Miss Lin's birthday.

Liu'er hurried and hurried, and finally drove out the big girl's birthday gift.

Because the eldest girl also realized that time was tight, Liu Er had to serve the old lady during the day, so she had to do needlework at night, so she didn't want to add more work to Liu Er, so she ordered two simple orioles and green willows.

At this time, the two had been in love for a long time, Liu'er was not polite, and did as she said, only seeing the eldest girl send someone to send a box of needlework, and those rolls of soft cigarettes that faded and never faded, Liu'er didn't know Say what.

The entire mansion was demolished just for this idea.But after a long time, I also know that the eldest girl has always been very generous to the people she likes, even the old lady and other masters can't compare.

I simply chose the soft smoky blue sky after the rain, the wind and the sun, the color has already faded, leaving only a light blue color, which is a bit hazy, the eldest girl is very satisfied, it is worth the trouble.

It’s already the tenth day of the lunar new year after finishing the work. I collected the last stitch, hid the thread, and spread out the embroidery cloth. Liu Er looked at it carefully under the light. The more she looked, the more she was satisfied. If she wanted to come to Master Dong to see it, she wouldn’t say that she copied her again. .
