The clever maid of the red mansion

Liu'er made tea, took the servant girls to serve to the old lady and the guests, then retreated to stand beside the old lady, ready to serve at any time.

The woman with a square face in the inner middle took a sip of tea, put down the cup and smiled, "I heard that the old matriarch can fuck people, but now, looking at this girl, she looks so well-behaved that ordinary ladies can't compare with her. The girl in our house Comparing them, they are all dusty and dusty. Let alone this tea, you can tell that it is a good craft as soon as you drink it. It can be seen that people usually say that it is not as good as the old lady. .”

The old lady was delighted by the flattery, and said with a smile: "That's how it is. Others don't say it, but this girl, there are few in the whole house who can compare with her. Not to mention her caring and filial piety, she is smart and smart. Forget it, needlework is the most important thing. Not to mention the old lady, I boast that I am a hand-embroidered craftsman, and there are few who can match it. She is all about my body, inside and out. Since she came, I can’t wear others Making clothes, my old skin and old flesh, can be regarded as useful, and I am better than the granddaughters. The former son and the second family have to beg for it, and Baoyu is here to serve, and I am not willing to let her suffer."

The square-faced woman smiled more sincerely when she heard the words, and talked to the other woman who flattered and flattered the old lady. They just came to say hello because of the holiday today, and it was fine.

Occasionally, the square-faced lady glanced at her, scrutinizing her face revealingly, but Liu'er looked at her nose, nose, nose, and heart, as if she didn't see it.

She also found out just now that this is the wife of General Shenwu's family, the Feng family, and she was worried.

The next day, Liu'er took turns to rest, so she simply brought her work back to do it.In fact, it's just a show. When I go back to work for an hour at night, I can finish the work in two days.

I got used to getting up early, had breakfast after calligraphy practice, the godmother went to work in the mansion, and Liu'er also started to do her own private work, planning to do it all morning, and then continue copying calligraphy and painting in the afternoon.

Not long after I sat down, two sets of gifts came, and I dealt with it patiently.Nowadays, during the holidays, not only are there more and more conventions and rules in various parts of the mansion, but even on weekdays, there is no shortage of close friends.The cost of food and clothing at home can't be used up in a year, and there is meaning to increase.

These days, Liu'er doesn't come back very often, so it's the godmother who deals with it.

I was upset and couldn't do embroidery work, so I simply picked up the "Diamond Sutra" and looked at it. I was familiar with it, and now I have to embroider two more, staring at it every day. Don't say it, but also offend the old lady.

After reading for a quarter of an hour, I calmed down and was about to do needlework, thinking that no one would come in the morning, but just as I put down the scriptures, someone knocked on the door again.

Reluctantly go out to answer the door, this time it's not from the mansion, a little girl doesn't recognize her, "Is this from Miss Yangliu's mansion?"

Returning to the house, I don't know which fairy is driving, Liu'er murmured in her heart, and said in her mouth: "It's the humble house, I don't know what's the matter with the girl? The eyes are tight, isn't it from our house?" She didn't let anyone in.

The little girl has a round face and bright eyes, which is a bit cute, she smiled and said: "Since it's Miss Yang, then it's right, come in."

She didn't reply to Liu'er's words, she just turned around and pointed at the two young men who carried things, and sent the things in. The little girl was afraid that Liu'er would block her, so she simply pulled Liu'er to stand beside her, but she had a lot of strength. The son's face was ugly but he couldn't break free, and he was already a little annoyed.

"What are you doing? I only heard about buying and selling by force, but never heard of giving gifts by force. Wait a minute, let's make it clear!"

The little girl just smiled nicely and said: "Miss Yang, don't worry, the servants are also obeying orders, don't make things difficult for us, the reason for this, the girl will know later."

As they said that, the two boys who carried the things had already put the things on the table in the main room, and then left quickly. The little girl just said: "My son's surname is Feng, I think the girl should know who it is, just leave it alone, don't send it far away." " After finishing speaking, he raised his foot and left, Liu'er stepped forward and stretched out his hand, the person had already flashed out, walked a few steps, got into the carriage at the street corner, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Liu'er was angry, anxious and afraid of being seen, she really lingered, now even her old nest has been taken away!He stomped his feet resentfully, looked left and right, there were no acquaintances on the street except for a few children playing games, and carrying burdens to sell food, so he hurriedly closed the door and turned around.

Looking at the things on the table, it was too annoying, and he stretched out his hand to push it to the ground, but he didn't move at all, instead he frustrated his wrist and rubbed his wrist to make trouble.

Suddenly remembered, this pile of things is not light, and the two strong young men are carrying it, but their steps are not light.

Suppressing his anger, he stretched out his hand to lift the lid of the upper layer of the box, and with a click, as the lid fell to the ground, revealing that the box was full of lychees, Liu'er laughed angrily.

Didn't this Dengtuzi want to say: "When the concubine of the world of mortals laughs, no one knows it's litchi!"

Pooh!He wants to be Li Longji, but he doesn't care about Yang Guifei!

I simply picked one up, peeled off the skin and ate it, it was quite sweet.

The mansion also got a few baskets, which were distributed among the masters everywhere, and the old lady didn't keep much here. Needless to say, the maids, Liu'er got a plate, but only ten or eight. She ate one at that time, and gave the rest to Xiaoyan. They split.

Now that I think about it, no matter the color, size or taste, it is not as good as this Dengtuzi sent. This big box weighs about ten catties, which is quite generous, bah!

Liu'er cursed inwardly, she ate a few, washed her hands, removed the upper box, and uncovered the lower one, there are four in total.

The second layer is also fruit, cherries, melons, loquats, no less than six or seven kinds, with assorted grids, and the middle grid is candied fruit.

Liu'er became curious, and didn't bother to eat, she simply looked at what it was, moved down to the second one, and looked at the third floor.But there are snacks made in a box, which are extremely exquisite and small. There are old ladies who have seen them, have you seen them? Liu'er has never been wronged.

This layer of boxes is different, the upper three layers are made of purple bamboo, although it is exquisite, I have seen it before.The last box is a red lacquered nanmu box, which is larger in size, and is no different from the box above.

The lid has a small lock, and now the key is inserted, Liu'er picked it up and twisted it, and it opened, pushed the lid up and took a closer look, it didn't dazzle her eyes!

A full set of jewel-encrusted emerald gold face!

It's nothing to eat fruit, Liu'er doesn't have the slightest thought of cannibalism.But such precious things as gold and silver jewelry can't be accepted!

Don't be afraid that Deng Tuzi will think that she is greedy for money or something, but let Deng Tuzi think that she has shallow eyesight, so she will be happy with it, and will be entangled endlessly in the future, that is Liu Er's worry.

Last time it was a mutton fat jade rabbit, this time it's the first one, this apprentice is relying on his wealth, does he want to use money as a cushion?

It was difficult for a while, and I didn't even eat raw for lunch. I only ate a few fruit snacks, and I didn't eat for nothing.And the lychee, if left for a day, the taste will be a little worse.

In the end, I had no choice but to wait for the godmother to come back to discuss.It doesn't look like putting things in the main room. After a little effort, they were all moved to the godmother's room, and it was an eyesore to put them in my own room.

Keep up your spirits, it's important to do needlework, and live by this.In the end, before a few stitches were done, someone came to knock on the door again. Liu'er groaned for a long time, seeing that the person didn't want to leave, she had to go to answer the door.

This time I came back to know each other, Dongfu Zhen's grandma Youshi is accompanied by a girl Chaodouer and two rough envoys.

Seeing Liu'er answering the door, he said with a smile: "Sister Liu'er, hello, because of the festival, grandma got some fresh fruits, and I asked my servant to bring them to my sister to taste some fresh fruits."

There is also an example in this mansion this weekdays, only the old lady has more big girls around her, so Liu Er greeted the three of them to come in with a few words of politeness.

The two mothers-in-law are each holding things, one holds two small bamboo baskets, and the other holds two boxes.

Liu'er suddenly had a guess, maybe he also gave lychees?

Chaodouer simply didn't sit down, only said that he still had some errands, and he was about to leave with his wife after putting down his things.

These few are no better than others, and it is not easy to take care of them on weekdays, so Liu'er hastily went into the room and took a purse with two silver coins.The silver is given to the two wives, each with a little girl.In the purse were two crabapple-style silver scorpions, each of which was heavier than for the mother-in-law. They were for fried beans, and I thanked Grandma Zhen for letting the three of them go.

After returning to the house, I opened two bamboo baskets. One was filled with lychees, and the other was filled with juicy red cherries. Liu'er was speechless for a while, as the house was overwhelmed with fresh fruits.

There are two holding boxes, one of which is a ruler head, and the peacock is used to weave gold makeup brocade on it. The old lady has a few pieces. It is said that such a piece is at least 50 taels of silver, and it is not easy to buy.

For a moment Liu'er murmured, what is the meaning of Grandma Zhen, she didn't give a gift like that!Intuit generous, but it's over!

Opening the second box in confusion, Liu'er immediately understood that this gift was probably not given by Grandma Zhen, or not just by Grandma Zhen!

No matter how you look at it, this set of Jin Leisi looks like a disciple!

Liu'er sat down, tapped on the table with one hand, and frowned in thought.In this East Mansion, apart from Grandma Zhen, there are only Grandma Zhen and her son Jia Rong who can order Chaodouer to deliver things. Qin Shi is not ill, and he will not stretch out his hands to commit taboos.

Before the case of Feng Ziying, Liu'er couldn't help but think about it, the two of them have always had bad reputations.She also never thought about being a child for others, and she would humbly be a child all day long, life would be no fun.

Suddenly, I remembered that Chaodouer had said before leaving that Grandma Zhen and Uncle Rong both said that she usually served the old lady hard.

When the godmother came back in the evening, Liu'er talked about today's incident in detail, and there was nothing wrong with it, so Feng Ziying's disciple Feng Ziying also mentioned a few words.

Mrs. Zhang is used to the world, Liu'er was already outstanding, now as she grows older, she only needs to attract more attention. Sooner or later, she will not make a fuss, she is calm as usual, which comforts Liu'er.

The two mothers looked at the presents while discussing, "In my opinion, this Dongfu item must have been given by Uncle Xiaorong. In the past, the New Year's Day was divided into cases, and the Dongfu was always there. It was just some snacks and food. Where is it?" They are all so precious. He is the serious master of the mansion, and Youshi has no children, so how dare you take care of him and send her a girl to do things, it is really common."

"It's all right, he doesn't have any good intentions after all." Liu'er became anxious when she heard this, and asked her godmother for advice.

Mrs. Zhang patted her hand, her expression unchanged, and continued: "It's nothing, you just ignore it, he can't do anything for a while. But this thing can't be taken away, and it can't be sent back like this, so that people can see it." Not good, simply ask someone to send money over to show that it is from the heart."

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Er understood that Jia Rong was also testing her, and it was not a problem to put it on ordinary girls and boys, and it would be over soon after talking about it, so she was naturally different.If it's interesting, the old lady can't do anything about it.If she didn't like it and asked the old lady to please others, the old lady would not force her, and she would be ashamed and make people laugh instead.

Isn't it an example that the Eldest Master wants a sister Yuanyang.

Besides, it's hard to say whether the old lady will give it or not.

As for the etiquette of Feng's apprenticeship, Mrs. Zhang was not sure, so she just said, "Let's put it aside for now. I'll find someone to inquire in private and find out what's going on. You have to make up your own mind, after all, everyone Young master, how many people can’t even think about it, and if you make a fuss, people will say that you don’t know how to praise, and everyone will be offended. If you make gossip, you will have a hard time in the future.”

Liu'er said solemnly: "Mum, needless to say, even if Liu'er hit her head to death, she doesn't intend to be a petty person, it's not a big deal if she can't hold her head up all her life, and her children and grandchildren are all inferior, what's the point! Take care of my mother, enjoy the blessings with Liu Er, be an old lady dignifiedly, with majesty, instead of being a servant for others and watching people's faces."

Mrs. Zhang smiled at the corner of her mouth, her heart was as soft as soft cotton, her eyes were kind, she nodded and said, "Just make up your mind. Don't worry about it now, let's take a look again. It seems that they won't be strong now. If you have scruples, there is room for change. Don’t be afraid of that, and your mother and I, with an old bone, can do a lot of things.”

That night, Liu Er took 300 taels of silver notes for her godmother, and planned to return them to Jia Rong.There are only so many enough, and I don’t want to buy them myself!

It is inconvenient for her to go out of the house, and she is also lazy to hand over to the people of Dongfu.
