The clever maid of the red mansion

Those etiquettes that Liu'er didn't take too seriously were actually a bit difficult to deal with. The things were all good things, and it was uncomfortable to accept them.

Most of the gifts in the first year were some food rulers. During the Chinese New Year, eating and drinking are quite normal.It's normal to make two new clothes.Individuals with friendship, some with purses containing gold and silver lockets, or small gemstone rings, look exquisite and festive, and it is not too much.

Because Liu Er and his wife don't use much, it is inevitable that the host's gift will be given to the west's family. After some exchanges and favors, there are still a lot of rulers left, which is not like eating and living.

In the first month of the new year, the rituals of several families are different, they just come and go, or they can't go.

First of all, a large portion was sent by Feng Ziying, Uncle Feng.As usual, there are four holding boxes, two boxes of fresh fruit snacks, one box of rulers, and one box of jewelry.The ruler is made of bright red feather satin and feather gauze, and the jewelry is a set of golden beads inlaid with pearls. The beads are as big as lotus seeds.

Liu'er who watched it sighed straight away, and now she is a little worried about leaving it at home. If someone steals it, what compensation will I have?There are three sets in total. A few days ago, she specially discussed the market of Jintoumian with Sister Yuanyang, and learned more about it. These three sets of Toumian are not worth three thousand silver, and the materials cannot be bought. What about the craftsmanship!

Compared with these ones, the fruit of the ruler is nothing.

Anyway, she has something in her hand, she can take it out and return it at any time, and she can speak tough.

I can't do this for a while, so let's put it aside first, the box is packed, and the stack is neat, so as not to bump into each other.Turning around, he opened the other two boxes, which were sent by Jia Rong of the Dongfu, a box of rulers, and a box of emerald green phoenix hairpins in gold tires. They were re-covered and put aside for execution.

Grandma Rong is gone now, and tomorrow autumn, the new grandma, Mrs. Hu, will come in. Regardless of her background, appearance and temperament, Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Qin are incomparable. claim.Thinking of this, Liu'er couldn't help but feel cold in her back. Now that Qin Shi has just passed away, maybe Jia Rong doesn't dare to do anything, what about after Hu Shi enters the door?

As for the rest, Zhang Cai's family sent a small mink fur cape, covered with pine green Zhang velvet, camel yellow fur, neatly along the collar, matched with pine green Zhang velvet material, both Elegant and full of antiquity.

Zhang Cai's family usually does some sewing and shopping for curtains, but now Liu'er is good at sewing in the old lady's yard, and even the mansion also depends on the winks of their sewing room, so this ceremony went to Liu'er. Here, it is not without reason.

The rulers sent by the stewards of several other companies are just fresh and flattering, and that's all for expressing flattery.

On a daily basis, Liu Er is willing to help if she can take care of her.

Put these things aside at will, and don't take them to heart.Now that the Qin family in Dongfu has passed away, Jia Rong's things make her very worried.

After all the calculations, there are less than two years left, and she must find a way out, otherwise she may be in trouble.

Now that the new year is over, Liu'er is fifteen years old, and when the new year is over, she will be sixteen.In the past two years, she hadn't planned to go out of the mansion. Anyway, there is an old lady and a big girl, so it's okay to think about it.

But now, she is no longer that simple-minded little girl.It is the biological parents, and there are times when they can't take care of them, not to mention the old lady and the eldest girl, to her, they are just masters and servants, and now they are a great kindness, how can they live on them for the rest of their lives!

This year's eldest girl's birthday, although she didn't come back, Liu'er's birthday gift has been prepared long ago, a pleated skirt with white ivory and cloud patterns, embroidered with a year's scene pattern, and a bright green hem, sandwiched a trace of gold thread , Occasionally, the stars are looming.

Although the cloud pattern is expensive, it is not rare, but the tailoring and workmanship of this skirt is all Liu Er's thought. It's good to come.

I wrapped the skirt in a bag and sent it to Youranju and handed it to Mama Wang for safekeeping.This time I have a long memory, so I no longer walk in front of the gate of Lixiangyuan, but still go back through the southeast corner gate, pass through the backyard of Mrs. Wang's main house, and cross the north-south road.

As soon as he walked to the back porch of Jiamu Courtyard, he almost bumped into Xiao Jiu'er who ran out head-on. Thanks to Liu'er's quick reaction, he grabbed Xiao Jiu'er and said angrily, "What's the rush? The fire is imminent! You just play it safe, and if you do this again, tell your mother and let her beat you!"

Xiao Jiu'er saw that it was Liu'er, she was no longer afraid, she giggled and said, "Sister, go in quickly, there is a happy event."

"The old lady released the reward? Otherwise, I can't think of any happy event. But you, it's a happy event to give you a plate of fruit." Children love to exaggerate, but Liu'er is not at ease.

This time Xiaojiu'er was not in a hurry, just smiled, "Your sister will know when you go in, this time is really a happy occasion, Lai Mama is also inside, the old lady sent me out to look for my sister, I will wait for her, go in quickly."

This little girl is indeed a bit sneaky, Liu'er glanced twice, and she knew it simply by going in, but she wanted to see what happy event she could have besides selling her embroidery work for money. "

Before entering the old lady's inner room, I heard talking and laughing inside. It was very lively. When I entered the room urgently, Second Mistress Lian, who was facing the door, saw it at a glance and said with a loud laugh: "You are back, let's go together Everyone in the room is waiting eagerly, but congratulations to my sister."

Liu'er entered the house in a daze, and greeted the masters. Apart from a few girls, grandmas and concubines, as well as Lai's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, there was another young woman who looked pretty and was well-dressed, but she didn't recognize her.

The only strange thing is that as soon as Liu'er came in, she would stare at Liu'er for some reason.Liu'er only glanced at it, but didn't take it seriously.One hand was tightly held by Lian's second grandmother, and she was not allowed to serve the old lady, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

All the people in the room just looked at Liu'er with a smile, and then looked at the woman again, back and forth, making Liu'er feel strange all over.

It was the old lady who clapped her hands and laughed first, "There are six or seven points of resemblance. It can be seen that the blood relationship is so involved, which is really awe-inspiring."

Hearing the words, the strange woman couldn't help it, her eyes were red, she stood up and walked to Liu'er in two steps, stretched out her hand to hold Liu'er's arm, and said in a choked up voice, "Sister!" shed tears.

Liu'er was completely stunned, and didn't know how to react for a moment. Seeing the opportunity, Sister Feng hurriedly said, "Don't stand still, just sit down and talk. We will have a long time to talk in the future, so it won't be a while." She said and pulled the two of them together. Sit down and talk one by one.It didn't make sense, Mammy Lai's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said, Liu'er understood the reason after a while, but her heart was full of mixed feelings, and she didn't feel the ecstasy as imagined.

In fact, it's easy to say, this young woman, whose boudoir name is Sister Yang Xiu, is Liu'er's biological sister.Not long after Liu'er's father married his stepmother, sister Yang Xiu was sold out.Liu'er was only two or three years old at the time, and she didn't remember much. She had long forgotten that she had a sister, and she had never seen her in her previous life.

This sister Yang Xiu was lucky enough to be lucky, she was sold to a family by Grandma Chun, because she was smart and capable, she won the trust and love of her master's old lady, and later gave her son as an aunt.After the death of the daughter-in-law, she simply helped Yang Xiu, who gave birth to a son, to be upright. Now she is the head grandmother of the family, and she has given birth to two sons, so she is on her feet.

In fact, this family has some relationship with the Jia family. It is the cheap student of the second master of the Jia family, named Fu Shi.Now that he has passed the judgment, he is quite rich.In his early years, he was actually just a scholar with dozens of acres of land, at least he could be regarded as a scholarly family.

As for how Sister Yang Xiu found Liu'er, it was still because of Sister Qin who was a matchmaker's girl and now married.This sister Qin's husband is of the same clan as Fu Shi, and the two families have some contacts on weekdays.The women gossip, especially Sister Yang Xiu or Sister Qin's old mother who made it up, and one day they finally talked about Yang Liuer.In this life, Liu'er is not an unknown person, one can tell by asking around along the way.After two touches, and after many twists and turns, it was finally confirmed, and I found Lai Mama, and brought her to see Jia Mu.

The old lady is an old man, and she likes such dramas of good and evil cause and effect, family members reunited after hardships, and now seeing the two sisters recognize each other, she is very happy, and immediately asked Yang Xiu to stay for dinner before leaving.

In fact, the two sisters have no intention of eating, so they can only refute the old lady's face, and the day to simply talk is later. First, they will accompany the old lady to chatter. On the other hand, he praised Liu Er again, and just sent their sisters to reunite.

Liu Er was no better than Sister Yang Xiu, she had never seen this battle, and when she returned home, she didn't know what to say.But Sister Yang Xiu asked the two wives who followed her to drink tea in the main room, and Liu Er also asked the two sisters Dongchun to accompany the reception, and the two went to the inner room to talk.

Here Liu'er made tea for her, while Sister Yang Xiu looked at her carefully.The room is quite spacious, with a short kang on the north side and a kang on the west wall, with two chairs separated by a few chairs, covered with plum red flower chair cushions, and this is where the two of them sat.

Sister Yang Xiu was a little surprised when she saw this.

First, she saw the embroidery frame in front of the local window. She knows the goods. Although this embroidery frame is not expensive in her eyes, it is not something that an ordinary girl can be willing to use.At least she couldn't afford it when she was the most beautiful back then.Not far from the embroidery frame is a desk with a few books stacked neatly on it, complete with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. There is also a porcelain jar next to it, with many scrolls inserted, which looks like calligraphy and painting.Against the east wall, there is a rack of angry cats. Through the straight edges, one can faintly see the scrolls full of stacks inside.On the other Duobaoge next to it, there are two table screens with fiery red tassels hanging down, and several playthings.Next to the tall flower table in the corner, a pot of orchids is also green and stretched.

You don't need to look at the dowry box and cage, just look at these two things, she has something interesting as a girl.Their family's master is also considered to be from a scholarly family, so he pays most attention to these things.My sister-in-law has also been able to read and write with her since she was a child. Although she can't speak well now, she can still write and count.

Liu'er is a girl who lives in a homeless place, and if she is not good enough, she will be beaten, scolded and made things difficult for her, and her family has to serve her master all day long. If she can really read and write, it will be very difficult for her to think about it.This is not an ordinary temper, at least she has never seen it like this since now.

Sister Yang Xiu also heard about Jia's family. Men don't like to study, and it's normal for girls to be blind.

Seeing Liu'er in a different way for a moment.
