The clever maid of the red mansion

On the third day of March, because it was the third girl's birthday, at noon on the first day, the girls all gathered in the Tanchun room to discuss how to spend the next day.

Because the three girls had always had ideas, the old lady said, just let the girls make up their own minds, and let Lian's second grandma and eldest grandma Li Wan help arrange the arrangement.

Because Liu'er and Cui Mo are good friends, they often come and go, and go to their place. The third girl also treats Liu'er differently. She likes stationery, and she often gives Liu'er some.

Liu'er feels very sorry, although she does not lack these things now, but the third girl is disrespectful despite her kindness.Therefore, to catch up with these days, it is necessary to give something to show.

Taking Xiaoyan and two women holding boxes, taking the opportunity to give fruit to the grandma and the girls, by the way, give the third girl a purse made by herself.The things are not big, but they are extremely delicate. Liu'er made them by herself, so naturally they couldn't be worse, otherwise she wouldn't be able to take them out.

Don't girls, there are decent girls who are close to each other on a regular basis, and some give gifts, such as charming Xiren and others, who come here one after another while taking advantage of the time, and the whole room is full of laughter and warblers, which is very lively.

Liu'er first went to the grandmother's place and sent the fresh fruit there, but after a short stop, she went to Baoxia, where the third girl lived.Suyun sent Liu'er out, and said as she walked, "There was a funeral over there, although it doesn't interfere with anything here, but my wife said, don't make too much publicity, I think it's just setting up two tables of wine, calling the two daughters It’s all just a book, what else can I do.”

Although Jia Rui is nothing, after all, the Confucian generation is in charge of ethnology, and the second master has to give some face.As for the second wife, Liu Er used to watch her, she was just trying to save face to the third girl, a ready-made cover, so naturally she wanted to use it.

These are all matters for the masters, it doesn't matter to Liu'er, just do not know what to do, and deal with it a few words.When I arrived at the third girl's room, I saw that there were many people, so I didn't say much. After I gave the things, I wanted to go back.

Unexpectedly, Miss Bao stopped her and looked at Liu'er with a smile, "You girl, you don't come to play with us on weekdays, and Ying'er always talks about you, saying that she wants to do needlework with you."

Before Liu'er could say anything, Miss Lin half covered her face with a fan and joked, "I don't think Ying'er is going to do needlework, but tying. In terms of needlework, Manfuli is better than sister Liu'er." Not much. Sister Bao is promoting Ying’er or belittling Liu’er, we have to speak according to our conscience, don’t we?”

Thinking of something, she said again: "Isn't this Yinger going to ask sister Liu'er for advice on female reds? I didn't say sister. After coming here for so long, you should have noticed that now the old lady's needlework is all Liu'er. I'm doing it, and I have to do the old lady's orders to do the work for others from time to time. I don't know how to make the effort to give the third girl a birthday present. Ying'er is interested, so I should go to the old lady to ask for advice, which is more suitable."

Liu'er didn't realize that Miss Lin said such words, the eldest girl is not a mean and tactful person, she thought there must be a reason, so she just smiled and didn't say goodbye. ysyhdbsp;On the other hand, Miss Bao stretched out her hand and pointed at the eldest girl, with a half-smile, "Yu'er's mouth is so real, I know Liu'er is yours, and I'm afraid I'll work for her. It's just that I praised your screen a few times before." , you just paid attention, it shows that you are usually a caring person. I just asked a question, thinking that my girl is not good at sewing, and I want to ask for advice, so that I can grow up."

Miss Lin went downhill, raised her eyebrows, and smiled, pretending to be fake, "That's good, that's good, Amitabha, my sister scared me. If you want to ask about needlework, it's you who go to the old lady, how can anyone tell me?" If I run by myself, I will not be sincere. I will naturally protect my girl, but I will feel bad when I am exhausted. Where can I find such a good baby? I will not follow anyone's idea. "

The two chattered back and forth, Liu'er just stood on the sidelines and pretended to be honest.The eldest girl in Shaoqing got up and left, and picked her up by the way.

"Come and sit with me, or I will come to you, and I have something to talk to you about."

When I arrived at the eldest girl's residence, she went into the inner room. When the girl arrived at the tea, she sent Zijuan to go. The eldest girl put down the teacup, looked at Liu'er and said, "I may have to go home in two days. It's okay. Say, come back at the end of the year." Seeing that Liu'er was about to speak, she waved her hand, "Listen to me, it's not a big deal, just go back and see your father. It's nothing to worry about, I'm alone here, I have nothing to worry about. Only now I recognize you You, within the scope of your ability, I can’t say that I have to protect you. I don’t, if you have something, just ask someone to find it. On Nanmen Street, the shopkeeper Lin Da of Hengtong Pawnshop is there. Just ask Miss Yang to look for it. I have already asked someone to look for it. Pass him over. If it's a trivial matter, I have someone left in my courtyard. You are familiar with Wang Momo, just look for her, she has an idea and can make the decision, I have explained everything."

Liu'er can't make words anymore, her nose is sore, and she shed tears, "Miss is planning for Liu'er like this, she is a real sister, and that's all, Liu'er can't repay you. As long as the girl is useful Liu'er's place is to go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate."

Miss Lin took Liu'er's hand with pity, and comforted her: "Silly girl, this is worth crying for! You and I are both, but we are different from others, so I don't need to say, you are ambitious, otherwise I would It’s not like this, and it’s rare that we also hit it off. But when it comes to sisters, I don’t have any brothers or sisters. When I come back this time, I’ll just recognize you as my sister. In the future, we will all have relatives to visit.”

Liu'er didn't know what to say anymore, so she pressed her eyes with a handkerchief, wiped away her tears, and said: "I'm willing to do it all, but I've just seduced the girl, and Liu'er has taken advantage of it." Suddenly remembered something , Puchi laughed, "I listened to the girl's words and actions on weekdays, and I really thought you were an older sister, but the girl is not as old as Liu'er, right?"

Liu'er was about the same age as Second Master Bao, but a little older than Miss Lin, but Miss Lin usually acted in style, with a steady and dignified air, and people unknowingly ignored her age.

Thinking of this, Miss Lin also laughed, patted Liu'er, and said angrily, "I've never liked to be petty, I have the final say on this matter, we're not like those common people, we only care about ability , no matter your age, that’s all.”

Liu'er was teased by her, and her naughty temper also came up, and her eyes rolled, "Liu'er knows what a girl is capable of, and she has always been convinced. Doesn't it include needlework? The girl is so wise and powerful, how can she have such a little girl?" What about flaws?"

Miss Lin didn't take it seriously, "Don't provoke me, even if you are the only tailor left in the world, I wouldn't know how to learn it. Girl, I have a lot of money, so I don't want to waste that effort. If I have the time, it's serious to sleep more. .On the contrary, you should take it easy when you do needlework. If you get tired and make trouble, it’s not fun. Don’t think that you don’t care about it when you’re young.

The eldest girl did what she said, and immediately regarded Liu Er as her sister, and Lala bastards gave a carload of words, but they really cared.

A few days later, Mrs. Lin wrote a letter saying that she was not in good health and asked Miss Lin to go back and have a look.The old lady ordered them to come down, and everyone was in a hurry, and then ordered the second master Lian to take people, and sent Miss Lin back to the south all the way.

The servants of the family, etc., all discuss in private, it must be the words that Uncle Lin is dying of illness.Liu Er knew that the father and daughter were playing the game because of Miss Lin's revelation before, so she wasn't very worried in her heart, she just didn't show it on the surface, what to do.

Even though Miss Lin is gone, give her Liu Er a box of calligraphy and paintings and ask her to copy them.Every round of rest is just busy with work, not at all free, just enjoying it.

Qingming went to Master Dong's grave, came back and was depressed for two days, and there was no one to talk about, just because there was a lot of work, at least I got away with it, and it was May in a blink of an eye.

This morning, my wife, grandma, and girls came to say hello, and laughed with the old lady. Seeing that it was May Day, everyone was talking about the festival, and Mrs. Xue brought Miss Bao over.

After sitting down for a while, Liu Er and Fei Cui brought tea, Mrs. Xue took a sip and put it down, and said with a smile: "It's still lively here with the old lady, grandchildren and daughters, all of them are good-looking talents and filial piety, no wonder the old lady is always so healthy , even we can't compare, but Bai is a few years younger."

The old lady also laughed, "Don't just talk about our family, there is only Bao girl, who is as many as their sisters, she is steady and kind, and she also has a way for her sisters. At such a young age, it is very rare. Isn't the concubine a blessed woman?" .”

Mrs. Xue said a few words modestly, and then sighed again, "Don't worry about Bao girl. As long as you are filial, there is nothing to say. As long as I am a wicked person, as long as there is only one star in Bao girl, I will be content. It's something else. There are many more, delicious, fun, and lively. It’s okay and there are some moths. That’s not it, because it’s his birthday on the third day of the lunar new year, it’s going to be lively early, and two troupes of small operas and ten stories are invited. Well, a famous cook was invited outside, and he said that he would like to invite everyone to have a good time. He is a junior, so naturally he has no elders to make birthday gifts for him. Seriously, as for his birthday the day after tomorrow, just let him make a fuss about it, but don't care about our business."

This is to invite everyone to go to have a drink and watch a play. The old lady thought it was hot, so she naturally refused to go, but the girls and grandmas, who are free and idle, simply agreed to go.

Someone came from the palace in the afternoon to present a gift of rewards, and a letter from the empress to the old lady, saying that the embroidered Buddhist scriptures are very good, let me embroider two more, and just send them in before the Qianqiu Festival.

When the old lady heard that this was the big deal, she immediately ordered Liu Er to let go of other work and hand it over to Hu Po and the parrot. She could only concentrate on embroidering Buddhist scriptures.

As for the material, of course, you can't use the kind of Liu'er last time, and immediately ordered Yuanyang to open the cage, and found a light yellow woven gold lantern brocade with dark flowers. It's rare to see a good ruler.

The old lady rubbed her hands and said, "This is the only material I have. It was my dowry back then. Now I have money and there is no place to buy it. It will be gone when it is used up. You can't use it up. You can keep it for making it." Some things. I can’t let you waste your time, the empress also has rewards, this is not an exception, and I have something else for you. You just give me a good job.”

Liu'er thanked her, took her things, and went to work by herself.

It's just that this work could have been done blindly without delaying daytime work.Fortunately, the old lady gave an order to turn the darkness into light, and I had to do it in the daytime, which was helpless.

But she also kept an eye out, mostly doing it in her own room, not to be disturbed, only let Xiaoyan or Sanqi split the thread or do work outside, it is true that she often does some private work in her own room, when she has nothing to do at night, do it The first half an hour is enough, and it can be finished early before the Qianqiu Festival.

If it wasn't for the fear of causing unnecessary trouble, it would take more than a month to do it for an hour every night, and it would be over. It just can't be done like this.

On the second day, Liu'er took the ruler, and the old lady cut out two banners on the kang outside, two banners of the same size, and then used gold thread to lock the Wanzi Ruyi on the side of the head.

Hu Po and the parrot, together with Xiaoyan Sanqi, were also doing needlework, and they were chatting and laughing in low voices while doing their work. There was a little girl serving tea and water next to them, and it was fun.

Unexpectedly, the little girl brought in two decent women, one of them walked all the way, staring at Liu'er and the other girls.Seeing too much, everyone doesn't care, what to do.

Thinking about which family came to invite Mrs. An, this kind of thing is common.

Only today is Jade. Sister Yuanyang has gone to Lixiangyuan. Liu'er put down her needle and thread and instructed, "Don't touch this material with a finger. If it breaks, there is nowhere to find it."

"That's all, it's up to you to say, go in and serve. We are all iron fingers, and it will break if we touch it. Stealing teachers is not as good as you." The parrot scolded with a smile.

Liu'er didn't take it seriously, and went in to serve her.

Now Liu'er has learned a lot about how to make tea with jadeite. Of course, she also read books and asked Miss Lin for advice.Now he doesn't like to talk to Liu'er, he likes to snort her with his nose and squint at her with the whites of his eyes, everyone secretly laughs at it.

Especially recently, Sanchi and Xiaojiuer have been mentioned. These two Xiaohe and Xiaoyan are now under Liu'er's tune and teaching. Liu'er doesn't hide his secrets, and directly makes Fei Cui angry. I don't know if she is really sick or not. I'm on vacation, and I haven't come up to serve for two days.

Now that Zhenzhu is scared, he dare not beat the old lady's legs in front of Liu'er easily. In fact, with the cooperation of the old lady, Liu'er has almost learned it.

Amber knew about this, and secretly whispered to Liu Er, "You are the nemesis of those two people, no wonder you are not convenient since you came here, you are born enemies."

The old lady naturally took a look at the door and was very happy in her heart. When she is old, she still sees the intrigues of the little ones, so she has the right to amuse her.

Liu'er wants to please everyone and she won't offend anyone, but it's not easy, Zilai Jade and Pearl are not the same as her, and if offended, she will be offended, and it's not that she can't afford to offend.

Amber was doing her work, and suddenly said, "Remember, I said that woman looked familiar just now, especially that square face, I seem to have seen it before. That year when I accompanied the old lady to the temple to offer incense, it happened that the wife of General Shenwu also I went, there is this old woman inside, I really remember her generous face."

The parrot didn't mind either, and replied without raising his head: "What kind of General Marquis, there are too many, every now and then, you can't come twice, just you remember."

Hu Po smiled and said in a low voice, "It's not for the general's mansion, but for that woman, the nanny of the third son of their family. That day, Feng Ziying also had a relationship with Second Master Bao, so she came up to greet the old lady. I Look at that one, he is not a few years older than Baoyu, and his appearance is similar, but he is very experienced in talking and acting, and is different from the second master."

The two just chatted and laughed in low voices, Liu'er had already gone in to serve her, so naturally she didn't know it, but it saved a lot of trouble for the time being.
