The clever maid of the red mansion

Mrs. Fu left Liu'er for lunch and some tea, but Liu'er politely declined the Fu family's kindness and finally took Chun'er back.

Because of their first visit, the two sisters Liu Er didn't have to say a few words of their own.On the contrary, Old Madam Fu was quite reluctant to pull Liu'er, and urged her earnestly, since she has relatives, there is absolutely no reason for her to live outside the house, and she must come and stay here for a while when she leaves the house sooner or later.

The third girl, Fu Qiufang, also hugged Liu'er affectionately, "I will do needlework together when I come back next time, so we can talk."

On the contrary, it was Sister Yang Xiu who sent Liu'er to the car, and only said one thing, and went to see Liu'er and the godmother the next day.

After half a day of contact, Liu'er has somewhat understood the temperament of the Fu family and others, and it's not difficult to get along with, but it's hard to say after a long time.

That night, I had dinner with my godmother and was drinking tea and talking about today's affairs when Lin Zhixiao and his wife came.

Entering the room and giving up a seat to pour tea, Liu'er has seen Lin Zhixiao in the past, and the couple came together, so she didn't avoid it.

Lin Zhixiao first handed the house deed that was done today to Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang was illiterate, so she handed it to Liu Er. Liu Er looked at it briefly, nodded, stood up and thanked them solemnly, and poured tea for the two of them again. Everyone sit down and talk.

But after a few words, Lin Zhixiao and his wife got down to business.

"Entrusted by Sister Zhang, today I took a look at the situation of the Fu family. This Fu family was originally from Fujia Town, Ping'an Prefecture. There were high-ranking officials in the ancestors, but they have declined in recent generations. He is a petty official. Fu Tongpan’s father was a scholar. He passed away in his 30s and left dozens of acres of fertile land. A family of three and a few servants and wives are doing well. Fu Tongpan is now 33 years old, but he is dedicated to studying and making progress. Yes, in his twenties, he became a Jinshi, and because of his good relationship with Lai Shangrong, he worshiped our second master as his teacher, and he was regarded as his disciple, and he was very favored by the second master, and his official career went smoothly."

Lin Zhixiao is a man, these are mostly men's concerns, Liu Er and his wife are just listening.

There are some things to say next, it is obvious that Lin Zhixiao is not easy to say, so he simply excused himself and left beforehand, leaving his wife to continue talking.

But Lin Zhixiao's family laughed before saying, "We women need to know what women's thoughts are. My family is usually like a saw-mouthed gourd. He doesn't like gossip, so let me let you know. stop."

In fact, these two couples were called deaf and dumb by Wang Xifeng, neither of them were gossips, so they hit it off with Mrs. Zhang, and they knew each other was safe, so they said a few more words.

Mrs. Zhang thanked her with a smile, "I'm already very sorry, you and my wife have helped us so much, don't talk about the extra old lady, just look at the future."

Liu'er changed the tea for Lin Zhixiao's family, and said: "Ma'am is very impolite with us. Over the years, I don't know what kind of temper we have, Ma'am. It's always easy for our family to move around. But if there is anything, Ma'am can just say That is, otherwise, it would be bad if my mother and I discredited and offended our relatives, and it would be hard to say some things to others. My sister is my own sister, after all, she is married and belongs to someone else's family. "

Lin Zhixiao's family took a sip of tea, and they originally asked for information from this lady, but now it seems that this lady is really sincere, and they didn't treat her as an outsider, so they simply came here one by one.

It turns out that there are two men and one woman in the Fu family. Fu Shi is the head of the house, and there is a younger brother who is dull and honest and can't study well. Now he takes his wife to manage the land and houses in his hometown. There are two sons and a daughter. The eldest son follows him. With the help of my hometown, the second son and the girl are now raised by their grandmother, but Liu'er didn't see him that day.

That girl, of course, is Fu Qiufang, she has both talents and looks, she can write, she can be regarded as having a sharp personality, and her speech is easy.Now in his twenties, he is not married, and has not even discussed marriage. It is said that his mother and elder brother are very fond of her, and they say that an expert has seen that it is not appropriate to marry early, and it has been delayed until now.

Of course, the outside world is not very good-looking, unless you are a wealthy family with all four corners.

Now the top priority is Fu Shi's room.

Before his father passed away in the early years, Fu Shi made a family for him. She was the daughter of a squire in the village. It is said that the family had a thousand hectares of fertile land and was very wealthy. She also raised her daughter alone, just like Xia Jingui later.Fu Shi's father died, and after observing filial piety, he became a relative.

It's a pity that this lady's life is poor, and she gave birth to a girl the next year, and her body was damaged due to childbirth, and it is not easy to have a body again.After two years, the old lady made the decision and gave Sister Yang Xiu to her son to serve.Just happened to catch up with this lady's parents passing away one after another, and she was hit for a while, and she was depressed after having nothing to do for four or five years in a row.

Sister Yang Xiu was different. When she came to Uncle Fu's side, she gave birth to a fat boy in a few years. In that year, Fu passed the examination, double happiness came to her family, and Chunwei won the Jinshi again, which was the icing on the cake for a while.Mrs. Fu believed in Buddhism. Before Fu Shi participated in Chunwei, she took her family to the temple to make a wish and offer incense. She found an eminent monk who was said to have attained the Tao, did a fortune-telling, and gave her family a horoscope.

The eminent monk said, Mr. Fu will definitely win.Moreover, sister Yang Xiu, Wang Fu Wang Zi Wang's family...

This sister Yang Xiu has been praised by several masters of the Fu family for many years, and she has won the favor of the old lady.The son is nearly [-] years old, and the Fu family has no foundation. Because of the eldest daughter-in-law, there is no shortage of money, and the eldest grandson is really sweet, so I discussed with my son in private.This Fu Shi has been popular for so many years, and Sister Yang Xiu is a beautiful woman with outstanding appearance, and she has long been in love.So the mother and son hit it off immediately, and they made sister Yang Xiu the main wife, and her eldest grandson became the first grandson, and that was the most important thing.

In a few years, sister Yang Xiu gave birth to another child, and Mrs. Fu believed it even more.

With Sister Yang Xiu's means, needless to say later, there is no winner in life than this, and now he is in charge of Fu's family gift, and everyone admires her.

The affairs of Lin Zhixiao's family are very detailed, and everyone who knows everything will talk about it in detail with Liu Ernianger and Mistress Liu. In, glad to go.

Seeing that it was getting late, both the mother and son felt sleepy, so they simply moved into Liu'er's room, had snacks and tea and continued talking.

In fact, the two of them are like mirrors in their hearts. Gang Lin Zhixiao's family has many unfinished meanings. She is not easy for outsiders to explain deeply, and it all depends on the listener to experience it for themselves.

For example, because of her background, sister Yang Xiu had to compromise.For example, the sister-in-law, who is young and not married, must be a bit of a talker, and it is difficult to get along with her aunts and sisters-in-law.

Not to mention Mrs. Fu, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not that easy.Now Mr. Fu has two housemates, one is Mrs. Xian's girl, and the other is given by the old lady after Sister Yang Xiu straightened her up...

The only thing that is certain is that Mr. Fu Shifu is kind and righteous, which is quite rare.

The two of them had a discussion, because sister Yang Xiu would come to visit tomorrow, and Mrs. Zhang had to go to ask for leave in the morning.The next day Liu'er had to go to the old lady's place to serve her, and she also mentioned the matter of redemption, so it was hard to say what the old lady would say.

As an old lady who is sympathetic to servants, it wouldn't be difficult, but if she stays for a while like Yang Mei, Liu'er won't be able to refuse, and she has to leave the house later, that's another story.

No matter what happens, the godmother has to rush to redeem her body and go out of the house to settle down. The house has to be tidied up and lived in, and most of the people are female relatives. There are many, all of which need to be arranged one by one.

After breakfast the next day, Sister Yang Xiu brought a woman to the door in a car, and the three of them greeted Mrs. Zhang one by one. Sister Yang Xiu was very affectionate and grateful to Mrs. Zhang, and the two were polite again before entering Liu'er's room. Everyone sat down modestly, and Liu Er served tea.

The woman had Dong'er sisters entertaining her for tea in the main room.

Sister Yang Xiu took a sip of tea, put down the cup and opened her mouth first, "Sister is coming today, I think my sister and Ganniang Zhang have also guessed it. Liu'er is not a long-term solution after all, and it will be inconvenient to marry in the future. The mother-in-law and the father-in-law have agreed, so let’s live together, be lively and intimate, and take care of each other. Besides, my family is simple, and there are no messy things, so I will not wrong my sister and godmother. If you have any ideas, just talk about them , everyone discusses it, I don’t know what you want.”

If it was said that before seeing Liu'er, sister Yang Xiu and her younger sister thought it was extremely simple, but after meeting this girl and waiting with everyone in Jia's mansion, she was not so sure.

In other words, I'm a little uncertain about living together, my girl is too outstanding...

Zhang Ganniang is the most knowledgeable and interesting, she just doesn't speak, and looks like she is letting Liu'er decide everything, but in fact she is as stable as Mount Tai.

Liu'er looked at her sister with a smile, rubbed the white porcelain blue and white teacup in her hand, and said unhurriedly: "Sister and brother-in-law's family is naturally good, and my sister has seen it before, a scholarly family with knowledgeable knowledge, you can't go wrong. It's just that my sister's surname is Fu now. It's easy to meet and difficult to get along with. Living together, there's no one who doesn't touch his teeth. When the time comes, the elder sister will be embarrassed, and the younger sister and the godmother will not be able to get along with each other. Rather than everyone being uncomfortable at that time, Simply staying together and living separately is the way for relatives to get along with each other for a long time. Elder sister, don't worry, just listen to what she has to say." Seeing that her elder sister hesitated to speak, Liu'er spoke comforting words and continued.

"My sister must have seen it too. My godmother and I have accumulated some self-confidence over the years. My sister is also very good at sewing. Besides, there is no sister. Besides, my sister must have seen it too. Now, for now, the younger sister is not the one who is wronged, even in the old lady's house, she is not far behind if she doesn't say a word. Although the younger sister has a heart of respecting the old and loving the young, after all, she is young. It’s hard to guarantee that there will be times when I’m not careful. To tell you the truth, we bought a house in Huazhi Lane just now. I think it’s not far from my sister’s house, and it’s very convenient to walk around. My sister misses my sister, so I came here in a few steps. My sister wants to find If my sister speaks, she can arrive on her feet, and it’s not bad to live with her, but everyone is at ease, wouldn’t it be nice?”

Sister Yang Xiu bowed her head in silence for a while, knowing that this was the best thing, she couldn't bear it, her eyes were red, and shed tears, remembering that her mother told her to take care of her younger sister before she left, but unfortunately her own ability was limited, and her heart was even more sad .

Liu'er was on the sidelines to comfort her again, she is a cheerful woman, she quickly figured it out, she simply stopped talking, after a while she collected herself, and then said, "It's up to you, just don't need to be fussy, When I go back, I will arrange for people to clean up. I can live in whenever I want, and if there is anything missing, I will tell me when the time comes. If I refuse again, it shows that you don’t treat me as a relative. Although my sister is not capable, daily care is still I can."

Speaking of this, Ganniang Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief, the general situation is determined.

To be honest, if Sister Yang Xiu insisted on refusing, the two women would have nothing to do, Zhang Ganniang felt a little embarrassed about her identity.

The other side of the house is handed over to Sister Yang Xiu, and it will be seven or eight days. Liu Er and the godmother will go and have a look. If necessary, I will talk about it later.

Sister Yang Xiu had a lot of things at home, so she left without eating.

As for Liu'er, after having lunch with her godmother, she packed up and went to see Mother Jia.
