The clever maid of the red mansion

Liu'er was left behind by the old lady, but Mrs. Zhang couldn't stay.After a period of time, the house was tidied up and everything was ready, and I brought the two sisters, Chun Dong, to move there first. This is a later story.

Let's talk about before, in fact, the house was not bad at all. When Lin Zhixiao helped to buy it, it had already been cleaned by someone, and the furniture in each room was still complete, so it would be used as soon as possible.

Before tidying up, because Liu'er was inconvenient, Mrs. Zhang and Sister Yang Xiu went over to look at it. Mrs. Zhang was naturally satisfied. She never thought that there would be a day when she would live in her own house, and she was very upset.

Sister Yang Xiu was a little surprised, the house was about the same size as the yard where her old lady lived.In addition to the main house on the west side where the old lady lives, there is a small garden in the middle of the Fu family, and on the east side is the main house of Mr. Fu and Mr. Fu Shi, with two small courtyards.One is reserved for Master Fu's family, and the other is for Fu Shi's couple.

Another reason why sister Yang Xiu was surprised was that the house bought by Liu Er and his wife was next to Fu's house, separated from the north-south courtyard by a wall!

Thinking of something, sister Yang Xiu couldn't help asking Mrs. Zhang, "Mother Zhang, did a housekeeper surnamed Lin from the Duke's Mansion help buy this house?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled and nodded, "Exactly, the eldest girl also knows that it is inconvenient for the old woman and Liu Er to go out all the time, and she doesn't know much about these matters. The lady of the steward Lin and us women are usually on good terms, so let's leave it alone." Her house. But thanks to Steward Lin's help, otherwise this house would have been bought by another family. How could it be so convenient for us to live in such a short distance now, and it would be cheap to walk around."

Sister Yang Xiu burst out laughing, and a trusted woman beside her even said, "It's really 'it's not that the family doesn't enter the house'. The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. It can be seen that it is fate, so I originally wanted to buy this house. The Lord’s home is our home.”

"Oh, it turned out to be the case. I really don't know about this, it's really..." After saying this, Mrs. Zhang felt a little sorry, and didn't know what to say.

Sister Yang Xiu waved her hand, "Don't worry about Zhang Ganniang. We didn't know each other before. We are willing to buy and sell, which is normal. Even if we already know each other, my sister wants to buy it. Is it possible that I, as a sister, can't follow suit? I have to buy it for you." She moved in, but now she has saved money for my elder sister, I am too happy to be happy."

Everyone laughed shyly when he said it, and Mrs. Zhang was polite and relieved.The sisters who didn't have a misunderstanding and grudges as soon as they met.

In fact, the Fu Mansion was originally just the main house of the old lady with a garden, and the other courtyards were bought and merged from the neighbors.Mr. Fu thought that more and more children would be useful when they grow up, and the mansion is well-off now, so it is better to take the opportunity to buy more gradually.Unexpectedly, this family actually sold someone else. At that time, Fu tried to be a bit annoyed, but he knew that the other party was a wealthy slave, so he had no choice. Who knows that his sister-in-law bought it now, and then he just laughed it off when he found out, and found it interesting. .

This house is also a three-entry courtyard. The front yard is spacious, with a brick screen wall in the middle.The inner courtyard also has three main rooms with side rooms and east and west wing rooms. In the courtyard is a peach tree with a thick bowl mouth.

When Mrs. Zhang saw her eyes lit up, she blurted out, "I'm sure I like this peach tree and willow. Let her see it before it's half in bloom. Then plant a few plantains and flowers under her window. That girl likes opening the window on rainy days, sitting on the couch and staring out in a daze."

Sister Yang Xiu also laughed, "Zhang Ganniang knows Liu'er the best, but if you like anything, just tell me, let you live outside, I can't get over it, no matter how small this idea can't be done, my sister really doesn't care. used."

Mrs. Zhang was a little embarrassed, but she could understand Sister Yang Xiu's thoughts, so she was no longer polite. She was fine anyway, but she was only in Liu'er's room, so she had to be careful.

So she and sister Yang Xiu walked all the way to see the details, and there was nothing else, but Liu'er's own room, furniture and utensils, the two of them spent a lot of time thinking.In particular, when Liu'er usually does embroidery work, she must go under a bright window. Mrs. Zhang doesn't like the window screen and paper, but the glass is precious after all, so she doesn't say anything.

There is also the study room, Mrs. Zhang is very high-spirited now, and her own girl is no worse than the well-educated lady.There are not many books. There are many calligraphy and paintings of celebrities and not famous people. I have to draw some when I have time at home. I can’t miss one of them...

But Mrs. Zhang had already made up her mind not to live in the main room. She originally planned to live in the wing room, but she was worried that Liu'er would not like it.It happened that the east wing room was connected to a small courtyard, three small main rooms, and two small buildings.Although the yard is not big, what is rare is that there is a small gate leading to the street. Mrs. Zhang likes it at first glance, and it is cheap to go out for a walk.Moreover, the utensils inside were no worse than those in the main house, and it was the house where the second-class master lived, so he immediately decided to live here.It's hard to say at this time, I just want to discuss it with Liu'er in private.

Finally, there is the back room, which can be used as a house for servants or as a warehouse... Her family is just a mother and a child, so it is not very useful.

When Mrs. Zhang came back in the evening, she told Liu'er about the arrangement of the house in detail.Liu'er lowered her head and thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.She's fine, it's more comfortable for a godmother to live alone in the small courtyard, but she spends more time talking with her in her spare time, and she is respected by an old lady on weekdays, so no one dares to underestimate her.

Nowadays, Mother Jia doesn't need Liu'er to be on duty at night. During the day, she just chats with the old lady or does needlework, and then goes home at night, so she is at ease.

But because everyone in the mansion knew that Liu'er was going to leave, they had some contacts on weekdays, and they all came to talk or give something, which meant goodbye.Up to the girls and grandmothers, down to the servants and girls who have been favored by Liu Er, they have never been broken.

Now listening to the godmother talking about the house in detail, Liu'er is also a little moved.I didn't really care about it at first, thinking that the population is small, and it is enough to have a place of my own to live in. As long as it is better than the small courtyard they live in now, I will be content.

Now I changed my mind, so I discussed with my godmother, and waited for the letter from my sister, and followed my godmother to see it first, and then I talked about it, and then moved back to my godmother.

In my heart, I also calculated that if the small Kua courtyard is not good, I will not call the godmother to live there.

But now that they have a house, there are no more than four masters and servants in their house, all of whom are female relatives.Even counting the janitor left behind by the original owner, there are only five people, twenty or thirty houses, it is really a bit empty.

Together, the two women need to add some manpower. The two sisters, Dongchun and Chun, worked in the embroidery village, so they simply followed Liu'er to take care of them. At any rate, they had to buy another rough envoy to wash and clean the stove, not to mention, Liu'er My son still wants his godmother to enjoy the blessings of being an old lady, so how can she do without a girl and woman to serve her.

After all, Mrs. Zhang had a hard time, so she felt that it was unnecessary for her family to do so.Now that Liu'er has money in hand, she doesn't panic, and she has the ability to be strong, so she made a decision, first buy two servants, and then I can entrust my sister to do it together.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, Zhang San's daughter-in-law came to the door with Sanqi at night. Liu'er and the godmother just regarded it as a leisurely goodbye, and entertained them for tea and snacks as usual.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang San's daughter-in-law sat down, she said to Liu'er, "I'm here today for nothing else. In fact, my girl, I heard that Miss Liu'er is going to leave after a while, and she will go with her. I I thought of her family as a child, but I was reluctant to part with the girl for a while, and I forgot about it after two days. The whole family is here, where is she going alone? Who knows that this is a good idea, seeing that I have not let go , actually ran to find her grandma to make the decision. Unexpectedly, her grandma had the same idea as her father, let her go! It depends on her own good luck, she has been with the girl for so many years, and she can't be wronged, follow the girl Learning some skills is enough for her. Although I am reluctant to part with it, I can't help it. Now I just ask the girl to let her follow, otherwise the family will quarrel with me all day long, and I will not be able to live this life."

Zhang San's daughter-in-law said so, after all, she was reluctant to bear her own daughter, and her eyes were red.Sanqi was standing next to her mother, she had been silent since she came in, she pouted and lowered her head, with a stubborn look on her face.

Liu'er and godmother's eyes met, they were both a little surprised, what did you say?

The girl Sanqi is ingenious and handy, and she is also somewhat pretty. After staying with the old lady for a few years, it is easy to be a second-class girl. If she is good, she may become a big girl, but she has a better future than following herself.

Immediately beckoned her to come over, looked at her from head to toe, and then Liu'er asked, "It's okay, isn't it good to be with the old lady? My sister goes out, but I don't have the blessings here. Don't say so much. We order, it is the dim sum fruit that we eat on weekdays, and it is not as exquisite as the old lady's place, let alone other things. It is monthly money, maybe there is not. Thinking about your life at home before, I dare not say that it must be better than you How much better is the family. I remember your love for my sister, so why bother to follow me?"

Sanqi raised her head and took a quick look at Liu'er, then lowered her head again, her voice was small but clear, "My grandma always said that girls are losers, and sooner or later they belong to them. No matter how nice this house is, it doesn't belong to me. In the future, if she is paired with a servant, people will look down on her. Sanqi just wants to be like her sister, and she will be respected everywhere. Anyway, here, Sanqi has no ability to play the role of her sister. If she can learn from her sister A few points are also Sanqi's good luck. If my sister is willing to let Sanqi follow, Sanqi will serve her for the rest of her life to repay her great kindness, without any second thoughts. If I go against this, I will get sores on my head..."

"Okay, okay, I swear on something important." Liu'er couldn't laugh or cry, and persuaded, "It will be a while before I leave, if you still think so by then, you can find me later. how?"

"As long as my sister wants me, I will obey my sister."

Liu'er also used a trick of procrastinating, thinking that she was only in her teens, and she would be able to figure it out once in a while, maybe in a few days, without her mother telling her, she would disappear without a trace.

From then on, she didn't take it too seriously, but from now on, she worked as an errand, Sanqi no longer listened to other people's orders, and only listened to Liu'er's orders, and never scolded chickens when she called a dog, which Liu'er didn't expect.

Let's talk about the second master's birthday on this day, guests, friends and relatives are entertained in the mansion, and it is very lively to eat wine and listen to theatre.

The male guests were entertained in the hall of the outer courtyard, and Jia's nephews and nephews were entertained as companions. Inside, there was Jia Rong, who accompanied Jia Lian and several children of the clan to guide the guests and friends inside and out.

Suddenly, people from the underground came to spread the word, "Feng Sanye from General Shenwu's Mansion and Fu Tongsan are here."

Although this Feng Ziying is said to be three brothers, he is most fond of being called Uncle Feng or the eldest son. Some servants who are useless or ill-informed naturally don't know it, such as the boy who is passing the news in front of him.

Jia Rong was taken aback when she heard this, and thought to herself, how did these two people get together now?Suddenly he had an idea, and asked: "Which Fu Tongpan is Fu Shi, Master Fu?" Where did he pay attention to Fu Shi in the past, but recently the Fu family has followed Liu Er, and the two houses are not unaware.

The person who sent the message agreed, and Jia Rong no longer hesitated, and raised her feet to greet her, without mentioning how affectionate and thoughtful she was.

Just talking about the old lady's inner hall, Liu'er also encountered an embarrassing incident.

Being targeted by Jia Qiong's mother, Mrs. Qian...
