The clever maid of the red mansion

Liu'er had seen Huiwen embroidery in her previous life, so she had to take a closer look at it. Generally, old ladies only take it out on important occasions, and then take it back when it's over. How can they be seen by servants like her.

But I know exactly what to embroider.It is no different from these two pictures now.

However, now, one is undoubtedly Master Dong's "Man Chi Jiao", and the other "Five Lun Tu" is sensible and lazy, and Liu'er is caught by a knife, so it's almost the same.

After a careful look, Liu'er was full of doubts, forced herself to restrain her mind, and asked the old lady: "It's strange that the old ancestors of Suri look like a treasure, and it's really good. We are young and have little knowledge, so we don't know this wisdom pattern." Who is it? The ancestors can tell us, so we can learn a lot."

The old lady caressed, quite reluctant, and said slowly: "It's not my fault that you don't know, this wisdom pattern is not a person's name, but it is an elegant name for people today. Only by changing an embroidered character into a pattern, can it be wonderful. That's all. Hui Niang was originally a girl from a scholarly and eunuch family in Gusu. She was good at calligraphy, painting, and embroidery. Most of them are broken branches and flowers, which are not comparable to ordinary embroiderers. This auspicious "Manchijiao" is even rarer. Now that these two paintings have been sent to the palace, I only have the pair of wreaths left here, so I can have a look at them when I am free. Gold and silver and other things are fine, but when I was young, I also liked needlework very much, but if I did too much, my family was afraid of hurting my eyes, so I didn't ask to do more, just look at it if I like it."

Liu'er couldn't hold back, and continued, "But I don't know, what's the last name of this Hui Niang? At least she has a name, right?"

Yuanyang smiled and said: "You don't need to tell the old lady about this. After all, I have been here for two years longer than you, so I know. My surname is Dong." After speaking, she looked at the old lady, and the old lady nodded in agreement.

Liu Er's heart skipped a beat, Master Dong's surname is not Dong, and his full name is Dong Huijun!

For a while, I was in a trance, and then I remembered Master Dong's last words, and my mind was in a mess and I couldn't make up my mind.In response to a few words, Shensibudi and Yuanyang finished their busy work, and went back to the room, still thinking about it.

Tossing and turning, unexpectedly thinking of Miaoyu again.I remember that Miaoyu called Master Dong's cousin at that time, and later Master Dong also said that the two were cousins.It seems that Miaoyu's family is an official, and the two people's words imply that something happened to Miaoyu's family, but Master Dong's family is fine.

But why Miaoyu is a good nun, she still has hair, and there are many valuables and good things around her, not to mention that she has a mother-in-law to serve her.On the contrary, Master Dong, how did he become an official slave?

Liu'er couldn't figure it out, but only knew one thing, Master Dong was Yunying's unmarried daughter, even if she was guilty, she must have been implicated, and she would die afterward.It may be said that some inner houses are private, but it is difficult to know.

The year has passed in a blink of an eye, and the beginning of this year is obviously not very good.Grandma Rong Qin's condition has improved for a few days, but she actually ate a few mouthfuls of food and never got up. Now she simply eats less and lies down sleepily, getting heavier.

There is also the grandson of that generation of Confucianism, who somehow fell ill the first year.I went to this mansion twice in three days to ask for medicine, ginseng, cinnamon, polygonatum, etc. I don't know how many times I have spent.Sister Feng, Jin Chuaner and others complained quite a bit, so Sister Feng simply made a fool of herself.

There is only one grandson left in Dairu Yifang, so he is naturally nervous. It is said that no matter how much money he spent on asking doctors and medicines, there is no improvement. At the moment, people don't like to go to Dongfu, and they all secretly say not to come back with bad luck.

The old lady didn't know what to think, and she seldom asked Liu'er Yuanyang to wait for the big girls to go over to handle errands, and mostly sent the stewards' wives and daughters-in-law over, which saved Liu'er from worrying a little.

Because her "Autumn Mountain Picture" was sold for [-] silver, and someone bought it only a few days ago, Liu'er was convinced of the eldest girl, but also full of excitement. a bit.

Even the scripture scroll, the eldest girl in the palace also likes it very much, and rewards her family and others during the New Year. She also has two horses of palace silk from Liu'er and two purses filled with silver purses.

There is not much money in the purse, only two bolts of palace silk, the material is naturally good.The color and style are very suitable for embroidery base materials, which is very interesting to Liu Er.

Because this year, I helped the eldest girl to copy a lot of calligraphy and paintings. For the eldest girl's birthday, she didn't prepare a large piece of needlework, so she simply repainted her picture of red plums in Huifang Garden and painted it with color.He also asked Sanqi to find his father, went out to be framed, and came back to send the eldest girl off.

The eldest girl was very happy, and she said it was good, otherwise she would feel sorry for seeing her give needles and threads, so laborious and exhausting.

In fact, speaking of it, the eldest girl is already a rare and generous master.The old lady's original work "Apricot Blossom, Peacock and Peony", I asked for it and gave it to Liu Er, not to mention, I also gave two calligraphy and paintings and a few famous calligraphy posts. Liu Er likes it, and I may not buy good things if I take money. I am naturally grateful.If it weren't for the lack of time, it would be almost impossible to make more needlework for the big girl.

Therefore, in the spring, taking advantage of the good weather, I thought about going out to buy some needlework.I made a list and wanted to buy them all in one batch. Maybe I didn't have to go out for half a year, just to work.

In the future, in addition to selling large items, I have already prepared some routine gift items.

For example, sister Qiao and all the girls, friends and big girls have birthdays, especially sister Qiao, who is three points thicker than other girls.When they are older, they are Nanny Lai and Godmother. Nanny Lai is only an important festival, and she doesn't care about needlework or things.

On the contrary, the godmother, knowing that Liu'er does a lot of needlework and has to rely on money, said that Liu'er should not make clothes for her, but let her cut them out, and she would do it herself.Even Liu'er's homely clothes, padded jacket, shoes and socks were mostly made by her godmother.But it should also be sold salt to drink light soup, and the oil seller's wife combs her hair with water.

Because Liu Er went to the street last time and met Deng Tuzi and Qiu Hong, she was a little apprehensive about going out.

Although it is also possible to ask people to help with the purchase, but one is inconvenience, such as a few herbs.Another thing is not clear, the color of the embroidery thread can be counted, and she can't know whether it is suitable for it until she sees it with her own eyes. Needless to say, many people may not know about some colors and materials, and there are many names and tricks, so there is a huge difference between the north and the south.

So taking advantage of the free time, he called Mo Yu and Xiaojiu ran out to play without his mother-in-law, so he simply brought Xiaoyan and Sanqi along.Xiaoyan is okay, but Sanqi seldom goes out, so she is very happy.

It was Uncle Zhang's car, and Mo Yu knew the trick, so he went to find Uncle Zhang on purpose.Sanqi was driving the car with her old man, also with You Rongyan, chatting with Mo Yu brother and sister through the curtain.

Liu'er suddenly thought of something on her mind, and interjected to remind Mo Yu, "When you meet someone you know, you must never mention your surname, just mention your sisters, so remember."

Mo Yu was still a little confused, but she just nodded, "Don't worry, sister, I will never forget."

Still not at ease, he told Xiaoyan and Sanqi one by one, they were confused, how could it be so easy to meet acquaintances?But I'm used to being obedient, so I just complied.

This time it went smoothly, went to the pharmacy first, Liu'er didn't get out of the car, just took the bill and money, and handed it to Mo Yu to buy it, she didn't need to go.

It was a rare time to come out, and the few people simply let go of shopping. On a cloth and silk street, the whole family stayed together from beginning to end.During the period, Mo Yushi felt bored, so he didn't follow in, and just waited for them outside the door.Liu'er was not happy anymore, she drove him back to the car to wait, the last time was outside the door, nominated Dao's surname to call her, I remember it really.

Don't look at Liu'er's extraordinary knowledge in the matter of spinning, but the world is so big that you can be poor anywhere, but you really like several kinds of rulers. Which ones have you never seen? They look fresh and unique, and they are not expensive.After shopping along the street, her own purse was empty. Xiaoyan and Sanqi each carried a big bag, and she didn't have idle hands, carrying a big bag.Lala miscellaneous, I bought a lot of things this time.

I didn't realize it when I was walking, but when I got back to the car, the three of them were all tired. After walking so much, they were thirsty, and even faintly hungry.

Passing by a restaurant, the smell came, Sanqi couldn't help swallowing, and Liuer burst out laughing, and asked Mo Yu outside: "Is there any famous restaurant on the road, I invite you today, please let go eat."

Mo Yu, a half-year-old boy, regained his energy when he heard it, raised his eyes and said, "My sister really said that, not far ahead is Weifangzhai, her roasted eight-treasure duck and dim sum are very famous."

These few people, Liu Er is the master, except for the honest Uncle Zhang, who looks like a gourd with his mouth sawed on a daily basis, the others are all small people, who don’t like to eat, play, and liveliness, so they went to Weifangzhai happily, what did Uncle Zhang say? Just look at the car and things outside, and don't follow.

Hou Liu'er couldn't help it, so he asked the staff to bring food down to eat with him.

The children became more and more happy. Uncle Zhang was an elder after all, so he felt uncomfortable following them.

Liu'er is going to make big purchases in Japan today, so bring enough money.A few people only knew that she was serving the old lady. Apart from monthly money and rewards, they didn't think of saving money for her, but they ordered a table with the signboard of this shop.

Naturally, Liu'er is not short of these few coins, and she also said that if she can't eat it, she will take it home, and then see which dim sum shop doesn't make it, or if the one is not as delicious as here, buy two more and bring it back for everyone to taste.

This is also Liu'er's first time eating out, her face is calm, but her heart is actually excited.

Looking at this two-story restaurant from the outside, it is calm and elegant, and you can tell that it is a high-end restaurant.It was already past meal time when they came, so they asked for a second-floor cubicle, which happened to be facing the street to enjoy the scenery.

The interior of this compartment is also quite elegant, with a large mahogany round table inlaid with marble, the same style of chairs, covered with lake silk and flowered chairs and cushions.Carved window lattices and screen-style partitions on both sides are also hung with couplets of calligraphy and painting. Liu Er glanced at them and found that there were actually two paintings by famous masters in the former dynasty, so there was absolutely no mistake.

She has been copying for so long, she has some experience, and she still has some confidence in this.As long as you have seen someone's original work, and see others, you will be inseparable.

Even the eldest girl has praised her, she is very talented.

Not caring about the ordering of the dishes, she looked around and she had a plan in her mind. She estimated that this meal would not cost ten taels or eight taels of silver, so she couldn't spend these few.

For a wealthy family like the Jia Mansion, there is nothing delicious about it. Liu'er has been eating for two lifetimes, and she still followed the upper-level masters. In fact, the upper-level masters are not so persistent.

But this duck is really good, especially the skin, which is extremely crispy and sweet, oily but not greasy.Liu'er just ate half a bowl of rice and the other two pieces of snacks.

But the dim sum is not outstanding, after all, her godmother, Mrs. Zhang, makes good dim sum.Later, in Jia's mansion, there was no shortage of materials of all kinds, and there was room for her to use them, so there was no shortage of snacks for her.

On the contrary, there are Mo Yu and Xiaoyan Sanqi, who are not allowed to be served by the master. Xiaoyan Sanqi also came up not long ago, and her mouth is not as tricky as Liu'er. It is very sweet to eat one by one, and it is better than the house. and so on.Liu'er was not funny either, she was afraid of embarrassing them.

After a comfortable meal, three snacks filled their stomachs, and they were almost full. They were all sitting there drinking tea to digest their food. Liu Er greeted the waiter and was about to pay the bill.

As a result, for some reason next door, after the original loud commotion, there was the sound of thumping against the partition door, and the whole box felt the vibration. Several people were startled, and the clerk panicked and ran out to see what happened.

After all, Mo Yu was a boy, so he was more courageous, gently opened the soft curtain of the compartment, and looked out of the corridor.

There was a bang, scaring him to shrink back, Sanqi couldn't hold his breath, and asked: "What's the matter, second brother?"

Mo Yu shrank her neck, her face full of fear: "Shh, keep your voice down, someone is fighting, a group of people are bloodied, it's frightening to death, don't go out, it's not fun if you run into it."

The other three are all girls, who are not afraid of this, they all fell silent for a while, and sat there motionless, afraid of making noise and attracting wicked people.

But there is a saying: If you sit at home behind closed doors, disaster will come from heaven.

Besides, this is not your own home, so it's up to you.

"Good prisoners, after drinking a few mouthfuls of dog piss, you don't recognize me anymore, a little woman raised Ni Er, and you are unlucky to meet Uncle Qiu today!" one person shouted.

"Brothers, fuck me, today either they will die or we will die. I still don't believe in this evil, so beat me hard! If you beat me to death, it's my brother!"

"Fight beat!"

"Kill j□j!"

There was a commotion for a while, chairs banged on the wall, fists and feet were punched, and it was endless.Shouts of killing and scolding rang out in unison, and I didn't know that someone had rebelled.

Boom!

The four held their breaths and were shrinking, the curtain shook, and one person ran in.The person who came was kicked in, and the wild goose landed on the ground with its buttocks on the ground, just in front of Mo Yu, scared the hell out of it, and ran behind Liu Er, Liu Er thought to himself, Mo Yu, you are a man anyway, right?

The four of them belonged to Liu'er who was older and had no place to sneak in. He forced himself to stay calm and retreated to the corner with protection. The two over there immediately fought into a ball as if they hadn't seen them, and the dining table fell down. , The cups and saucers fell all over the floor.Those two rolled around on the ground, covered in soup, rice and snacks, they looked so disgusting, they almost hit Liu Er and the others a few times.

Liu'er didn't care about watching the excitement, but looked at the hydrangea ball rolling in the room like two loaches, she was afraid and shy, if it really hit her, what would happen?

But in the private room next door and in the corridor, there was non-stop ping-ping-pong-pong, and Liu'er felt her heart pounding. She was afraid it wouldn't work, but she had an intuition that she couldn't go on like this. Who knew that a group of men with red eyes could still remember that they were actually passers-by Woolen cloth.

She was hesitating here, and she had already touched the feather duster on the small table beside her, when she suddenly heard someone talking loudly in the corridor outside.

"I said Qiu Er, you are getting more and more excited now, a gang of three, what a hero! How courageous! How shameless!"

The voice was a bit familiar, and then the man said again: "Why, I don't know how to call you when I see Uncle Feng! Tomorrow I will ask your father, what a good tutor! Sure enough, one generation is better than the previous generation! Today it is actually Come to my restaurant to make trouble, it can be seen that you are tired of working, and you don’t inquire about the whole capital, dare you to be naughty on Uncle Feng’s land, and you haven’t been born yet! jjj, don’t you want to read the almanac if you die early, come here.”

One piece of good news and one piece of bad news, the good news is that the person who came is an acquaintance; the bad news is that he is an apprentice.

There is also bad news. It seems that the battlefield is about to expand. Didn't you hear Deng Tuzi calling someone again?

Liu'er didn't know what to do anymore, Xiaoyan Sanqi was a little girl, she had never seen this before, she was terrified today, she hid there trembling.

At this moment, Mo Yu remembered that he was a man, so he raised his voice and shouted: "Uncle Feng, it's Mo Yu, Second Master Bao's servant, Mo Yu, save us! Together, block the inside, help!"

Liu'er doesn't know what to say, Mo Yu, you are really obedient!Will you die if you don't name the Taoist surname!Even if you put Xiaoyan first, it doesn't matter!

In fact, I really can't blame Mo Yu for this. At this time, it's the most important thing to get out of the land of right and wrong and save your life. Naturally, whoever has the status should mention whoever has the status, and don't care about others.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't remember anything Liu'er said, isn't that right, didn't the old lady be added in front of sister Liu'er.

The old lady is the land of Jia's Mansion Tian Jia's Mansion, no matter who you are, why don't you show some face.Compared with the old lady, Liu'er is a barely visible little scum.

It's all scum, what's the point of mentioning a nomination?
