The clever maid of the red mansion

Since I want to go to Dongfu to enjoy the plum blossoms, not the mandarin ducks, but the Liu'er must go, but the parrots are lively people, so it is rare to see the house for sewing.

The maids in the mansion are no worse than ordinary daughters, and they usually don't have much chance to go out. Now that there is such a lively game, they are naturally eager to try.

There is no need to arrange carriages and horses in the inner house, the old lady takes care of everything, no mandarin ducks, but Liu'er takes care of it, so it can't be difficult for her.

It's okay to talk about things, only girls and women are accompanying, and it's a headache to go to this one and that one.

Good Amber saw that the parrot would not go, so she also wanted to do needlework together. The remaining four big girls each took two young girls, which saved Liu'er trouble.As for the wives, I only told Lin Zhixiao's family and Lai's family, "Ma'am, it seems that there are some who often go out with the old lady, and it is safe, just pick a few and follow her."

Liu'er doesn't like to take matters into her own hands, but if she likes to exercise power, it's up to everyone to make arrangements. Lin Zhixiao's family has always been quiet and fine.

The three girls are fine, Second Master Bao's butt hurts, but the girls in his room are restless.

Asking Xi Ren, Xi Ren has always been popular, and he couldn't shirk it, and he didn't dare to let the old lady know, so he had to come to Liu Er in private, with a needle and thread in his hand, talking to Liu Er while doing it.

"My sister also knows that because of the second master's matter, everyone is really bored these days. They want to go out for a walk, but they don't dare to go too much. Just bring two or three from our house. Good sister, this is a good idea." You can make the decision, please take them with you."

Liu'er secretly sighed, after two years, Haba'er will come out of the experience, so he will not say such words.

But Liu'er understands her. Now, in Second Master Bao's room, the first big girl is not an attacker, but a charmer.But people went to serve in the second grandmother's yard, the charming was no longer a drag, no one was boastful, and his appearance and temperament were better than Xiren's, so he was very happy and dependent on the second master.

Now this Xiren, apart from trying to curry favor with everyone and make a good relationship with her, really doesn't really show her much.

So it's not surprising that it's out of the question now.

"Sister Xiren, are you joking? The second master is the old lady with a sharp heart. Let alone these people in your house, even if there are ten or eight more people in your house, the old lady is not at ease, for fear of a mistake. Why is my sister so lenient?" ? Don't say this, Liu'er doesn't know how to say it, just doesn't even think about it. Anyway, the plum blossoms can bloom for a while, so I have to have a chance to see them. Even if I don't have time this year, don't I have to bloom every year? Now my sister not only doesn't persuade the girls to calm down and work hard, but also indulges, not to mention the old lady, just let the wife know, how many heads of you are enough!"

Liu'er was not polite, her face was solemn, she said that Xiren was blushing, and hurried away with a pretense.

The corners of Liu'er's mouth turned up slightly, she sneered silently in her heart, and said to herself: "Haha, you can't hold your breath sometimes!"Go up the pole and send the dog's tail to let me step on it. If I don't step on it, I won't step on it.

After thinking about it, he went out to recruit Xiao Jiu'er, muttered a few words in his ear, Xiao Jiu'er nodded, and ran out quickly.

The old lady here was talking to the second wife, and she remembered something and asked someone to come out and call Liu'er.

"In the spring, Baoyu sent a peach blossom. I remember that the bottle matched it very well. Thinking about tomorrow, I asked someone to break the red plum, put it back in the bottle, and sent it to Baoyu's house. It's winter, and I look energetic Some, and fragrant, isn't he yelling at home all day long?"

Liu'er thought for a while and said, "It should be the celadon vase with beads from the previous dynasty. It has been returned long ago, but do you want to find one that is almost the same?"

The old lady thought for a while, "But you don't have to. You just pick a match, and you will match it when you come back. I believe in your vision. Don't tell Baoyu first, it will be unsightly to save you from being disappointed when you see it. By the way, who was talking outside just now?" , why are there some striking shadows?"

Liu'er smiled, "Isn't it Xiren? I heard that we are going to appreciate the plum blossoms tomorrow. Some girls can't sit still. They just hope that the second master will be quick and quick. They have to play along."

The old lady nodded, "You don't have to give them a sloppy eye, they are all worrying, Baoyu loves to play, so the rules of the people in the house are a little loose."

"Don't worry about the old lady. After all, they are just a group of little girls. There are some who are more lively, but they won't go out of their way. There are big girls watching. I just think that Xiren is a good person on weekdays. Why can't she sit still? Could it be that she was soft-faced and hindered her feelings, so she made peace on behalf of others. That girl is an old lady who goes out of her room, she is not bad in terms of rules, she is loyal, and she will definitely not miss the point Errands are the job." Mrs. Wang listened to what Jiamu said, and then said calmly.

Liu Er was about to answer with a smile when someone from outside said, "The charming came to see the old lady."

"Hey, if you don't run around a few times a day, how can you pass it on in such a manner, and call her in. I want to hear what's important for her, so why don't you just go and play with her?" The old lady laughed. But the smile didn't reach her eyes, so Liu'er swallowed her words.

The charming man came in, knelt down in front of the old lady, and said: "The slave girl came out of the old lady's room, and the old lady gave the second master grace, so she should serve her wholeheartedly, but she couldn't persuade the second master, which made the master angry , the old lady is sad, and the second master has also suffered, and the slaves are upset, and have long wanted to kowtow to the old lady to make amends."

The old lady said calmly, "Since you know, how do you know what to do in the future?"

"Your servant knows that, so I will do my best not to let the old lady worry about it, and persuade the second master to make progress, take care of yourself, and stay away from those gossip."

The old lady nodded, "Since you understand everything, I won't say anything, let's go, just remember what you said today. You are my pick to serve Baoyu, so it's a good thing, don't underestimate yourself, just try your best The flattery is, what is going on, I usually watch it."

"Yes. The servant girl is here today, and I have one more request for the old lady."

"Oh? Let's talk about it."

"Grace of the old lady. Originally, the maidservant received one tael of silver. Although she went to serve the second master, she still received one tael. The servant girl knew it was the grace of the old lady. But it violated the rules of the mansion. It will last forever, and it will not be good after all. Mansion It's a rule, you can't let people talk about it because of your slaves. Besides, on weekdays, the old ladies, grandmas, girls, and even the second master give rewards. If it's not enough, it can be seen that no one is ungrateful. So please The old lady agreed, let the slaves take the monthly order from the second master's room in the future."

In the men's and girls' rooms, the big girl hangs it once a month, which is a few hundred dollars short of the one tael of silver.

The old lady was speechless for a moment, and then she looked at the charming man and nodded, "I'm a governor after all. Although I'm not afraid of people talking, it's rare that you have such thoughts." She turned her head and said to Mrs. Wang, "I'm going out here anyway. Not the same, it can be seen that this girl is a sweetheart." Mrs. Wang just nodded, but didn't say anything.It is naturally clear who the difference refers to.

Jia Mu called Liu Er: "reward."

Liu'er understood, quickly went to the cabinet in the back room, opened the drawer, took out a purse containing five taels of silver, and gave it to Mei Ren when she came back, and Mei Ren left without mentioning it gratefully.

The old lady here sighed to the second lady, "I saw that her sister was a little crazy, and I was a little worried about her, but I didn't expect it to be good. It's hard for her to be a good girl, but she raised a good girl. The bad bamboos have produced good shoots. From now on, she and Xiren Yueli will get them from Baoyu, so let me take them here."

The second wife nodded and smiled, but said nothing.Liu'er rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "It's funny to say, Mei Ren's mother looks like her, and her aunt is just like her mother, and scolding girls is like an enemy. But raising girls, each one is smarter and neater than the other. Needless to say, charming, but she is also too clever. The little Jiuer in our yard is her aunt's house. Although Xiaojiu is clever, she is small and doesn't show much. Her sister Xiaoyan, compared with charming, It's not bad. Really, I don't know how to get a family together. So the old lady has a good eye, and she can always pick out good ones from a large bamboo forest, and come to our yard one by one, showing us, and It's like weeds."

Liu'er's words were crisp and crisp, originally she had the face of a petty person, not the tone of an old man, but an old-fashioned look, which made the old lady laugh and pointed at her not knowing what to say.Even Mrs. Wang couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

After laughing enough, the old lady suddenly remembered, "There is no Xiaoyan in our yard, who is taking care of it now?"

Liu'er smiled, "Since the old lady didn't know, she didn't have a errand. Last year, it was a cold day, and she went out to deliver things to her mother, but she couldn't find anyone. She was so honest. After waiting for a long time, she came back with a cold. It’s too late to delay the selection, and it’s been like this all the time. But her sister Xiaojiu was selected.”

"Oh, you've seen that girl before. If she's really good, let her go to Baoyu's place. I just need a few rough envoys, so I can look at her temperament first. No, if you have time, you can have someone bring me to see, jargon First, let’s learn the rules here, and then we will serve Baoyu when things are done.”

Liu'er knew in her heart that the old lady also meant to give face to the charming.Of course, it doesn't rule out giving her face.Immediately thanked the old lady for the charming Xiaoyan and didn't mention it, just cleared up the affairs of Dongfu tomorrow.
