The clever maid of the red mansion

In the next three to two months, Feng Ziying sent her family away again and sent things twice.But there are no expensive items, but they are necessary for daily use, seasonal fruits, cloth rulers, and occasionally Weifangzhai's sweet-scented osmanthus duck, which makes the mother and daughter helpless.

It is estimated that Uncle Feng really paid attention to it. The quantity of items this time is not too large, but they are fresh and exquisite, with more types.Even so, the two mothers have limited spending power, so they still have to send some good friends from time to time. Everyone only thinks that Liu'er is decent, rewarded by the old lady, or filial by the stewards, and they are even more fawning for a while.

That day when Liu'er came back, she was on duty as usual, thinking in her heart, if the godmother knew, she would have to praise her for being a big deal.A few days later, taking advantage of not being on duty, I went back and told my godmother what happened that day.

Now there are two mothers and one son, who are single and weak, and there is no good way, so they can only wait for a while, and slowly look for opportunities before making plans.

They didn't immediately force them to rob civilian girls or something, so what can you do.It looks like it's easy to talk and discuss, and those who know it have to say it, it's really a humble gentleman!

As for lust and so on, if you know lust, Mu Shaoai, let alone a nobleman, even an ordinary peddler, is not a big deal.The boy who sells oil also wants to play the role of oiran, which has become a good story.

To be mean, you have to say that you are a vixen, hooking up with people, anyway, it is all the woman's fault.

There is only one good thing, that Jia Rong has calmed down recently, no more people giving things, and the etiquette is much more normal.

It was difficult to guard against house thieves, but both Liu'er and godmother breathed a sigh of relief.

This day Liu'er went out to deliver things, came back from the outside, and just entered the outside room, she heard the old lady scolding in the room: "...bring your bastard wives to stop coming to my place, stand carefully and dirty my place. If you want to put the master's money, go back to your house, but you can't put it. I'm not dead yet, and don't be in a hurry to rush to Rewo..."

Taking a peek inside, the eldest lady Xing was standing there, being scolded bloody by the old lady, and everyone in the room was silent.

Whispered to the parrot, who was pretending to be doing work, but actually listening, "What's wrong?"

The parrot snickered and whispered: "It's not Xiaojiu'er's little hoof. I somehow annoyed the old lady of Wang Shanbao's family and scolded her. Unfortunately, the old lady heard it. She took it into her heart and didn't use it. The old lady ate it." Hang down."

As a result, even the concubines and concubines who followed Qiutong and the others were disgraced.After returning home, the elder may have a good lesson... Wang Shanbao's family has caught up with Miemen.

Liu'er fell down with a smile in her heart, resisted her complexion, picked up the needle and thread, and paid attention to the movement inside, she didn't have the ability and leisure to go in and persuade her, she should scold for a while, anyway, there is Sister Yuanyang, Naturally, there are those who serve the old lady.

But that little Jiuer... How long has it been since then, and dare to pluck the hair from the head of Wang Shanbao's tigress?Liu'er didn't believe it was not intentional, but Su Ri underestimated that little hoof.

When Wang Shanbao's family went back, he was kicked out by the eldest wife, and she was not called in to serve her.Even so, the eldest wife was also scolded by the elder.

However, because Wang Shanbao's family is the eldest wife's accompanying room, the Xing family has only two accompanying rooms. The family's surname is Fei, and their behavior is not as reliable as Wang Shanbao's family. serve.

Liu'er didn't care too much, with Wang Shanbao's family's flattering skills, it would be so easy to fall down.No matter how powerful she is, it won't hinder her. It's not common to see her, and it's cheaper to clean up.

As the year approached, Xiaorong's grandma, Qin Shi, suddenly disappeared, and the two houses were in a hurry.

It stands to reason that the Qin family was originally the daughter-in-law of the great-grandson. Although she was a grand-grandson, she was too grand and grand.

The mistress, You Shi, suffered from an old problem again and was unable to handle affairs, so she asked Lian's Second Mistress to come over for help. For a while, Lian's Second Mistress was rarely seen here, and some people felt a little restless.Although it's not out of the box, it's looser after all.

These are not things that Liu Er cares about. What worries her is that Miss Lin has been back for so long. She was originally scheduled to come back by the end of the year at the latest, but there has been no movement so far. What is going on?

I was really upset, so I found a spare time, and took the recently embroidered Jiqing painting "Kirin Delivering a Child", and came to Youranju to look for Wang Momo. It happened that Miss Lin brought a letter, and Liu'er handed the embroidery painting to Wang Momo Since she sent it to a shop outside, Dang even opened the letter and read it.

The letter was only one page, and after reading it in a few clicks, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike the recent rumors in the house, Mrs. Lin may be seriously ill and die... On the contrary, Mrs. Lin is in good health, and will return to Beijing to report on her work after the new year, when the eldest girl will come back with her...

Letting go of his worries, he said goodbye to Nanny Wang, and left Youranju with the two hundred silver that he sold for a set of Buddhist scriptures, thinking that he would come out anyway, so he might as well send the silver ticket home first, so he could feel more at ease.

Originally, from Youranju to return to Jiamu Courtyard, just go south from Youranju and walk through the small gate in the southeast corner of the mansion.Now, if you want to go back to your home in the back street, you have to pass through the north-south road between the group houses in the Xiaren area, and pass in front of the gate of Lixiangyuan.

People who come in and out on weekdays are also used to walking, so it's nothing at all.

But today Liu'er is also considered unlucky, just out of the narrow lane, a person came out from Lixiangyuan head-on, probably drunk, swearing, unsteady footsteps, two servants helped her left and right, and she didn't know where she was going, it was really impossible look.

Liu Er glanced at it, it was none other than Xue Dasha, who also went to pay his respects to the old lady during the holidays, so I met him.

That Xue Pan tilted his neck, his eyes were dangling like copper bells, and when he saw Liu'er, he opened his mouth wide, and he was overjoyed, and immediately called out, "Is it... Sister Liu'er, let's go, accompany me." Go drink a couple of cups, brother. Once you are happy, you will benefit from it. Gold and silver jewellery, satin ruler head, jewelry head cover, you... what do you want, what do you have, what..."

This Xue Pan and Xue are so stupid that Liu'er's ears are full.In Ms. Lin's words, she lacks nothing but heart and brain. This guy should be called Xue Chong, with two characters missing.

Now that Xue Erque was drunk, although the two young men didn't recognize Liu Er, but they knew Liu Er was a decent person by looking at Liu Er's clothes, so they hurriedly nodded and bowed to Liu Er to apologize, and at the same time supported his master with all their strength, and went to Pull in the pear fragrance courtyard.

Normally, Xue Erque would not dare to disrespect Liu'er, but now that he is drunk and cowardly, he becomes lustful for a moment, so he is not willing to go back here, struggling to get out, shouting, "My dear sister, eat wine... Grandpa money There are plenty of them, just use them..." All the way, the paw stretched towards Liu'er, like a dog crawling.

Liu'er was already annoyed when others were like this, and she couldn't really get angry with such an unclear person.However, he still looked like his willow eyebrows were upside down, and he shouted, "I don't want to send your uncle back, what a shame! Let's talk nonsense, I have to take your uncle to the old lady to talk about it. When the time comes, you Both don't have to live anymore!"

When the two boys heard it, they knew that it was the decent girl next to the old lady, and they were taken aback.If something really happened, the uncle was drunk and nothing happened, but the two of them would be in trouble.

There's no reason not to go all out for a while, and after talking and calling out two rough women, they got the drunk into the courtyard gate.

Liu'er thought it was all right, so she went home and put away the banknotes, poured a bowl of hot tea, and before she had a sip, Tong Xi, who was next to Aunt Xue, came with a woman.

Letting him into the room, Tong Xi didn't wait for Liu'er to pour the tea, so he said with a full face of regret: "My uncle was rude just now, sister Liu'er must see that he is drunk, and don't be as knowledgeable as him. Just now we The wife heard the young man talk about it, and also hit him twice, but he fell down, but he fell asleep, and the mad wife didn't do anything. Now I specially sent a servant over to annoy the girl. This little thing, I still hope Elder sister shouldn't dislike it. If elder sister doesn't want it, then she dislikes it, and if she really wants to annoy us, she might have to come to make amends."

To be honest, Liu Er served in front of the old lady on a regular basis, except for Lian's second grandmother, she didn't communicate with other masters, she was always indifferent, and she took care of the servants.It is different from Yuanyang who is kind to everyone.

Unexpectedly, with her demeanor, not only did the servants dare not offend easily, but she secretly flattered her.Even the masters are respectful.

Especially Miss Bao, she praised Liu'er for being a dutiful and courteous person, but in private, she felt that Liu'er had a gap in her chest and would handle others well.It also subtly affected Mrs. Xue, and every time she was so angry with her son, she would always be ruthless, and she must find such a wife for this wicked person, who can pinch this beast with just a raise of her hand!Let's see if he's still going to die!

These are private conversations between the two mothers, and no one else knows about them except their cronies, and it cannot be said that Mrs. Xue has no other ideas.

Now, after listening to the report from the servants, saying how his son is immoral after drinking, Mrs. Xue is half dead with anger.Not to mention that they are living in Jia's mansion now, they are the proud people around the old lady, and it is not easy to offend if they are offended, so they immediately sent their cronies to bring things to make amends.

Liu'er didn't bother with that Er Que at all, she just had to do some superficial work, which girl wouldn't be angry if she encountered this.Dafangfang kept things, and said to Tongxi indifferently: "Those who don't know don't blame, Liu'er naturally won't care about anything with a drunk, my aunt is too polite."

Tongxi went back to report, Aunt Xue saw that Liu'er had put away her things, she thought it was all right, she and her daughter were worried about what to do.

Unexpectedly, when Xue Pan woke up, he didn't know what dream he had, turned over to find his mother, entered the room and knelt down, with snot and tears, and cried: "Mom, my son is not going to survive, you Hurry up and ask the old lady for a favor, and give the girl Yangliu to my son. In the future, my son will definitely do things well, so that my mother and sister won't worry..."

Aunt Xue was dumbfounded, and Xue Baochai and the maids who were sewing next to her were also dumbfounded. What is this singing about?

At any rate, there was such a fool in the Xue family. No matter how stupid Xue was, Aunt Xue just got angry and scolded, but Miss Bao couldn't avoid it with her face full of shame, and she had to persuade her. Something happened, this is a later story.

Of course Liu'er didn't know, so she casually threw the Xue family's two high-quality rulers into the godmother's room, and went straight to work.

Serving the old lady after dinner, because Lian's second wife is busy with the funeral in the East Mansion, the old lady doesn't ask her to come over to serve, and the eldest lady dare not come recently, so only the second wife and three girls are left to talk with her. Do not erase cards.

Liu'er saw that Fei Cui and Yuan Duck were waiting inside, so she took Sanqi Xiaoyan to do needlework outside, and gave them pointers from time to time, because she was not busy with work, but she was leisurely.

Suddenly a woman came in and whispered to Liu'er, "There is a little girl outside the second door looking for a girl, and she said her name is Dong'er."

Liu'er was taken aback, the two sisters, Dongchun and Dongchun, were still working in Xiuzhuang after Master Dong left.Liu'er was grateful to them for taking care of Master Dong, and said before leaving that she could come to Jia's mansion to find her if there was anything she needed.

Especially that Dong'er, who has a kind heart and an honest disposition, if it wasn't for something she couldn't bear, she probably wouldn't have come to see her in person.

After leaving the second door, Xing'er in the class room was entertaining Dong'er for tea. Seeing Liu'er coming in, he hurriedly said hello, and went out tactfully to let them talk.

It's winter, although Dong'er is wearing a padded jacket, her face is flushed from the cold, her hands are folded in her sleeves, her shoulders are shrunk, and she is obviously depressed.

Seeing Liu'er coming in, she took two steps forward and knelt down, crying, "Sister, save my sister." After saying that, she began to cry.

Pulling Dong'er up, sat down on her, and wiped her tears, Liu'er said softly, "Anyway, you can explain clearly, what happened? Well, with you watching, Chun'er shouldn't cause any trouble. yes."

It's such a big night, Chun'er can't wait for tomorrow, so it's not a trivial matter.

Sure enough, Dong'er explained exactly what happened.

In fact, from Liu Er's ears, it was just such a trivial matter, and it's not like she hasn't experienced it before.It's just that Chun'er has gotten better in the past two years, but this time she was not favored by Master Feng or the dog friend, but by the second girl, Feng Hanyu, and asked to go with her, saying that she was determined to follow her as a dowry next year of.

Marrying with a girl sounds good, but it's a pity that today's second girl, since the eldest girl got married, has been spoiled by the second grandmother, without admonishment, her temper is getting worse day by day, beating and scolding slaves is commonplace.

This is not the worst, because at the beginning of this year, he made a marriage, the only son of a well-known wealthy businessman.It was rumored in private by the servants that this uncle is greedy and lustful, and he doesn't treat girls as human beings, and beats and scolds at every turn... Chun'er was angry at the second girl's room, but now when he heard it, he was so frightened that he died, and immediately ran out to find him. Her sister called for help.

That's why Dong'er ran over to find Liu'er regardless of the darkness.

Liu'er comforted Dong'er, and couldn't help asking: "Second Grandma Lai has always been a calculating person, why did she find such a son-in-law?"

"I heard from Wang Ma and the others that it was the second grandma who found it. It was the old man who met the old master for some reason, and they settled down without discussing it with the second grandma. The second grandma also had a fight when she came back, but it was nothing. I also got sick, and I just kept it from the second girl."

Mr. Feng's out of the ordinary, it's really not bad.For Liu'er, it's not a big deal, it's much easier than her own situation back then.

"You go back first, bear with it for a few days, and the second girl will not get married in just a few days. After the new year, I will try to get you two out. Only your sisters left the embroidery village, but there are relatives Have you gone to refuge?" Liu'er knew that the two sisters' parents were gone, and they were sold by their uncle and aunt's family.

When Dong'er heard this, she knelt down again and begged, "It's better not to have relatives, but it's just a resale, I just want to follow my sister, who will be a cow or a horse without complaint, and give me a bowl of food." That's it." As he spoke, he was about to kowtow, but Liu'er hurriedly stopped him.

"Okay, let's talk about this later, I have a house to live in now, so I can accommodate you for the time being."

Because it was getting late, I was afraid that the corner door would be locked, so I didn't talk much, so I asked Xing'er to help call a car, and watched her get in the car and leave without mentioning it.

Liu'er on this side was thinking in her heart, since she agreed to Sister Dong'er, it should be sooner rather than later, not to mention that the second son-in-law will be out of tune in the future, even Master Feng is also a dangerous person.

Both myself and my godmother are busy year after year, and I can't get away. I can't say that I have found Lai Mama. If I go to eat New Year's wine in the past, I can do it. If I want to come to Lai Second Mistress, I won't be able to refute her face.

Now that Liu'er is in power, she respects Nanny Lai a lot on weekdays, Liu'er is not worried that Nanny Lai will not help in this matter.

The author has something to say: Regarding the date of Qin Keqing's death, when watching TV dramas, I only knew it was winter, and I didn't know the exact date, so I had to count it as winter.Although there are many contradictions in the years and ages in the Red Mansion, there are still rough estimates for some major events.

Recently, I saw a saying that the Qin family died in Xia Tian. The specific evidence is as follows:

Attacker said: "I see that the fan cover you brought was made by Grandma Rong in Dongfu that year. That green thing can only be worn in the summer when there is a funeral in the family or relatives and friends' house. It happens once or twice a year. , I don’t usually commit crimes..." The 49-day rest period coincided with the day when I received the news of Lin Ruhai's death (September [-]rd).The brilliant doctor Zhang I invited before once said: "My uncle is the most brilliant person. It is not a symptom of a person who is sick to this position. After taking this medicine, it depends on the doctor's fate. In my opinion, this winter It’s irrelevant, it’s always after the vernal equinox, and you can expect to be cured.” In fact, it should be cured after the vernal equinox, so there are later sayings such as “the whole family knew it at that time, everyone was surprised, and they were a little suspicious”.

╮(╯_╰)╭, I saw this recently. Although it is for reference only, it is not accurate, but there is nothing I can do. After all, people are more clever than He in citing scriptures. In the article, Qin has to live for half a year longer.
