The clever maid of the red mansion

After the grand master's birthday passed, Liu'er was very worried for a few days.Seeing nothing happened, he bit the bullet and looked at Qin Shi twice on behalf of the old lady.Occasionally running into Jia Rong, it was just a smile that made people feel uncomfortable, and a few gossips, but nothing else, Liu'er gradually felt relieved.

Later, while I was in the painting, I came over to do needlework, and inquired about it twice.This painting elder brother Shou'er has served Jia Zhen since she was a child and is considered one of her confidantes.I can't understand the movement in the mansion over there.

Being able to become a big girl next to a girl is naturally capable of handling things. Even if she is usually a kind and gentle girl, she is not a weak and bullying girl like the second girl. It's just that this is not her family's house, and she can only give in when dealing with others.

Because he could talk to Liu'er, seeing Liu'er asking about it, he made up his mind to ask his brother about it.There are a lot of nosy things, and Liu'er valued seriousness, but she didn't, which made her feel relieved.

Then if Feng Ziying went to the East Mansion if she had nothing to do, she would be afraid.

But he also paid more and more attention to serving the old lady. This big tree has to be hugged tightly no matter what, it can suppress all bull heads and horse faces.Originally, if he was very sincere, but now he has enough energy to feed.

She is also extremely smart, so there is no way she can do bad things.During these two years of stealing from teachers, Zhu Zhu's leg-beating stunt, and Jade's tea making kung fu, he also learned a lot, but only reached out to do it when it was inconvenient for the two of them.

Regardless of her age, the old lady is shrewd and has experience.For Liu'er beating her legs, it was the old lady who saw her attentiveness and gave her some pointers.After all, it is her old man who is benefiting, okay, she has room to speak, and she is happy to make Liu'er grow up, so she secretly laughs at Liu'er's little thoughts.

One day when no one was around, Liu Er beat her legs after serving tea. The old lady nodded Liu Er's forehead, "You are a villain. In the mansion, there is no one else standing on the ground! Don't worry, as long as I live for a day, I will not let you be ruined. I'm afraid, in the future, your little son-in-law will not be able to fool you, you little monster , but what should I do?"

Talking about Liu'er's face flushed, he said angrily: "What is the old lady talking about, Liu'er has nothing to worry about, I just follow the old lady."

The old lady just smiled without saying a word. She lived a long time and didn't know anything.With a glance, you can see that the little monkeys in the two mansions are thinking about something, just don't point it out.

Although Liu'er is a big girl by name, as long as Jia's mother wants it, she feels that it's just a word.It had been a long time, but the old lady really liked Liu'er, and she was moved to give her to Baoyu.

But the more you observe the subtleties, the more you realize that this girl is difficult to keep low and be small, but she is stronger.Don't look at her considerate and considerate temperament in front of her, and she puts a lot of thought into her work.In front of the men, especially in front of Baoyu, she has always been well-behaved and self-reliant. She is ambitious and very different from ordinary girls.It's all right to be stupid, and even Feng girl may not be able to understand her mind. How can the old lady rest assured to give Baoyu, isn't it making her grandson restless in the house.

Simply stay with her for the time being, what will happen in the future depends on her fortune, let her go.Anyway, this girl is still young, she is good at serving, and she can relieve boredom, so let's let her use it for a few years.

The old lady made up her mind not to mention it, and said that at the end of the year, Liu'er hurriedly embroidered the "Autumn Mountain Picture", and looked at the finished product, but she regretted it, and unexpectedly finished it a year ago.

If I knew this earlier, I would embroider a picture of festive wealth and honor, just in time for the Chinese New Year. I think it would be easy to sell, and the price would be more expensive.

Fortunately, at that time, I remembered that I had heard Master Dong mention the blind needle, and after turning off the lights at night, I tried it a few times.In fact, it is not difficult. I used to touch the dark to make knots, and later I also smeared and tied the knot.Nowadays, when doing needlework, the only thing is the same. The sketch should be clear in the heart, not to mention, the less colored thread is used, the better.

Thinking of Lu Meiniang, she simply took a piece of material, only black wool, and practiced at night to memorize the "Heart Sutra". In less than a month, she gradually mastered the essentials and finally succeeded!The size of the handwriting is as uniform as a bean, and the stippling is clear, just like what is done in the daytime.

So I found a banner of ivory soft satin and locked the side.She found out the "Diamond Sutra" that Master Dong left for her, and she was familiar with it at first, but now after practicing calligraphy every morning, she memorizes another section, and works during the day, so she is familiar with it silently.After turning off the lights at night, I closed my eyes and held my breath. If I couldn’t see clearly when I opened my eyes, it would be a waste of time. I concentrated on the needle and finished the embroidery in one go. It took only about an hour to rest without delaying the rest.

There were occasional delays in the middle, and it took nearly two months, but it was finally completed. Although there were some unsatisfactory things, because it was the first time I did it, it was considered reluctant, so I went home and put it away.

Now take it out, and together with "Autumn Mountain Picture", I simply came to Youranju to ask the eldest girl for advice.The embroidered scriptures are not going to be sold, and they want to give it to the old lady, but they have some concerns. After all, it is not a part-time job, and it is already eye-catching on weekdays.

Miss Lin waved the maids back, and together with Liu Er, she unfolded the two embroidery works, nodding while looking at them.Hearing Liu'er's worries again, she said, "You're thinking about it. Let's talk about this "Autumn Mountain Picture" first. Don't think it's not a picture of auspicious celebrations. , but the price is higher than those. As for the Buddhist scriptures, you can give them directly to the old lady, don’t care about others, it’s important for the old lady to be happy. Besides, it’s nothing to do with you, how many years can you stay? Snobbish To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is expensive only when people ask for it. You just carry it, we girls, but do a few needlework games on weekdays. In order to show piousness, others just spend money, What's in your way!"

One word awakened the dreamer, Liu'er understood immediately, and the two looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.

"By the way, you make things yourself, but they all have imprinted names and things like that."

"It's not like this one, and it's not a painting by a famous artist. It's just a sketch and then some changes."

"It's not about painting, but, just like that painting, after the painting is finished, it's stamped, like that. If your work is really valuable, it's not bad."

"There is this, but it's just a secret. Master Dong used to be like this. Later, I used my secret to do her work for her." Learning needlework from Master Dong, Liu Er briefly mentioned it to the eldest girl later.

The eldest girl nodded, and stopped talking, leaving "Autumn Mountain Picture", Liu'er sat and talked for a while, and took the embroidery scriptures back that night, taking advantage of the lack of people, she honored the old lady.

The old lady watched her take the glasses and put them on, held them for a while, took off the glasses, and nodded: "It's hard for you to think about it. It takes so much effort to write such a small text, let alone embroidering it. It takes some time to write. You have to work in the daytime, and you can’t rest for two days in a month. How can you get this effort. If you want to do this now, you must light a lamp to boil oil. It can’t be like this in the future, little boy Age and eyes are important, so it’s good to be tired. I don’t know how you are filial on weekdays.”

The old lady believed in Buddhism, so Liu'er's gift naturally fit her mind, so she immediately rewarded Liu'er generously without mentioning it.

Only the next day, Liu'er took a break, and went back with two sets of gold-headed noodles, which shocked the godmother, "What's the matter, it's not a festival, why is it like this? It's the New Year, isn't it?"

Two sets of headdresses, one set with red gold emerald green, and one set with precious stones, all are gorgeous and dazzling, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite. Jewelry, the old lady's things are naturally good, and the total is not afraid of seven or eight hundred silver.

No wonder the godmother was surprised, even Liu Er dared not accept her when she first met her.It was the old lady who spoke, so she didn't dare to refuse.

Liu'er took out a temple hairpin to look at her eyes, and inserted it on the godmother's head, and looked at it, it was okay.

Mrs. Zhang saw that Liu'er was just playing and said nothing, so she reached out and pulled out the hairpin in a hurry, "I'm so ashamed, I don't deserve such rare things. Let me ask you a question, why does the old lady reward? It's not a matter of a few taels of money. Is there a reason? Tell me, what good things have you done again?"

Liu'er smiled, and put the hairpin back in again, "Where is the disgraced face, I say it matches. When we go out in the future, you can just greet your head, wear whatever you want, wear whatever you want, and wear whatever you want. There is no need to look at people. Actually, it’s nothing. In my house, there is nothing to do at night. I privately embroidered a volume of Buddhist scriptures for the old lady. I thought it was Chinese New Year. The old lady happened to take the temple town. The old lady saw it and was happy I rewarded you, but it’s upright, you just have to keep your heart in your stomach."

Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, took off the hairpin on her head, snatched it from Liu'er's hand to play with, put them back into the box one by one and put them away, and then said: "Put them all away, you have got things that are enough to make people jealous, so don't take them." Come out to show off, not let the villain be jealous, and gossip for no reason."

Just in line with Liu'er's intentions, don't mention it, the old lady's side, don't look at Liu'er's good things, the old man didn't feel much in his heart at all, touched the small characters on the scriptures, and said to Yuanyang: "I rewarded Liu'er, Are you envious? Do you think it's over?"

Yuanyang really felt that it was too much, but she wouldn't tell the truth, she just smiled and said, "It's as long as the old lady likes it, and it's because of Liu'er's filial piety. The old lady's reward is also the old lady's grace, and it's the old lady's heart."

The old lady lowered her eyes, and said after a while: "You understand what you said, but it's only superficial. That girl Liu'er, regardless of her young age, is capable. You only see that gold and silver jewelry are valuable. But you don't know, some things, take You can’t even buy it with silver. Only her embroidery work, if you count it, is less than one-tenth. How can it be so simple as a few words. It’s rare, but it’s really the thought. Today I also Just say this time, let's get along well."

Because of the New Year's Eve, the old lady packed things to bring into the palace, and Yuanyang and Liu'er brought a few big girls to rummage through boxes and cabinets.

The old lady has a lot of good things, but she really likes them a lot, so she picks and chooses. In the end, except for a few gold and silver vessels, jade carving screens and other expensive things, there are two embroidered items.Now the Liuer Embroidery Sutra has been added, and it has been offered to the Buddha for seven days, and the eminent monks have recited it.

From a red sandalwood box, I took out those two pieces of embroidery. It is said that they are Huiwen things.

Unfolding it and taking a look, Liu'er was taken aback, isn't this Master Dong's work!

One of them was she was caught with a knife
