The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

Third Sister You thought about it, since the matter of getting married is a done deal and she has no control over herself, it's not good for her to do such a thing of pouring cold water on people to hate her.What's more, when an older girl first hears about the marriage, she has to keep the careful thought that a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman are a match made in heaven.Even if I want to make a point, I don't want to spoil the fun with my red lips and white teeth at this moment.

It's just that it's okay not to say the words of direct remonstrance for the time being.She got along with the eldest girl once, and at least she became a sister for two years. She talked and laughed on weekdays, and learned how to do needlework together, and she never blushed.Even for this relationship, it's not good to watch the big girl step into the pit without warning.What's the matter, I have to find a way to help...

While meditating, I saw the second sister was lying on the eldest girl with a smile, whispering to her about the personnel affairs of the Ningguo Mansion.The eldest girl was so ashamed that she just lowered her head and fiddled with her belt, and said coyly: "I have been keeping my filial piety at home these few years, and I don't go out for a walk. How can I know what's going on outside. I don't know what my sister said. .”

The third sister looked at the shy but yearning look of the eldest girl, her heart was moved, and she thought of a good idea to mention the eldest girl.

Thinking of this, the third sister You first winked and smiled at the second sister, and joked to the eldest girl pretending to be narrow-minded: "It doesn't matter if the elder sister doesn't know the personnel affairs of Ningguo Mansion. Please beg me, I will How about asking the manager in the shop to inquire about it and tell you when he comes back?"

Hearing this, the eldest girl's fair face was already flushed with shame, she hurriedly got up and beat the third sister, cursing in her mouth: "You are going to die, you actually say these stupid things to make fun of me. Watch me beat you!" Don't beat the meat."

Seeing this, the third sister smiled and hid behind the second sister, letting the second sister stop the eldest girl, while she stood behind smiling and said, "Why should the elder sister be ashamed? This is also human nature." , don't you want to know what's going on in Ningguo Mansion?"

One sentence moved the big girl.The eldest girl stopped hesitantly, while twisting the handkerchief with her hands, she said in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's not good, if outsiders find out, they will definitely laugh at me for being unruly."

Hearing this, the second and third sisters couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled, and immediately sat down at the table. The third sister deliberately instructed the eldest girl to say, "It's not difficult. I'm thirsty. You can pour me a cup of tea." Give me, I'll give you an idea, how about it?"

The eldest girl has always known that the third sister's mentality and resourcefulness are not comparable to those of ordinary boudoir daughters. After hearing this, she happened to have the same intentions, so she took the tea bowl from the tea compartment on the table, passed it through warm water, and poured it into the thermos. Poured half a bowl of tea and handed it to the third sister, and said in the mouth: "You are narrow-minded, what's your idea, let me hear it?"

After eating half a bowl of tea, the third sister smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that I asked the shop steward to inquire more about the affairs of their two mansions. Just keep it secret. Even if it is because of this If you let the people in the house know about it, you won’t be afraid... Anyway, our two families are discussing marriage now, and as the wife of the housekeeper, it’s only natural for Mom to send her servants to inquire—"

While talking, someone suddenly spoke up and said: "This is very true. Tomorrow, I will ask He Cai's family to go to the mansion, explain the matter to her, and tell her to go back. Haosheng told her to man her son, Be sure to find out the personnel affairs in those two mansions, so that our eldest girl can have a plan in her mind."

Everyone was caught off guard, but was taken aback.Looking at the reputation, I saw Mrs. Chen closed the bed curtain and leaned on the large pillow, and said with a smile: "I have slept for a long time, and I am very thirsty. Pour me a cup of tea."

Seeing this, the eldest girl hurriedly rinsed a cup and poured tea, and held it with Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen ate it all in one gulp.The third sister smiled at Chen Shi and said, "Why did Mom wake up, did you sleep well just now?"

Mrs. Chen said: "You guys are laughing and making noise like this. No matter how deeply I sleep, I will be woken up by you. What's more, it's just a nap in the afternoon."

After finishing speaking, he took the eldest girl's hand and sat beside him, and said with a smile: "Just now, my third sister and I were talking about it, and I don't know what's going on in Ningguo Mansion. It's the mansion of Duke Houmen, and the bells are ringing for food The family, our family status, could not be climbed up. What's more, the situation is even more difficult when we marry in the past and become the second wife and stepmother. In the future, we may be wronged, or what, our family does not have that The ability to support you has to be taken care of by yourself. You have a soft face and a merciful temper, and you don’t easily argue with people who are red-faced. I originally planned to tell you about a family of simple people who are motivated. , you will be able to get used to it in only three to five days after you get married. Who would have thought that it would be a coincidence..."

"...Now your father is in charge and betrothed you to the Jia family in the Ningfu. That is a prominent family, the family has a big business and rules, and the temper of the master and slave is probably too big. Once you marry, if or It's okay to be liked by your husband-in-law, I'm afraid that the children of the family have the temperament of liking the new and loathing the old. Today they face east and tomorrow they face west, but after three or two years they will get tired of it, regardless of your life or death. There is a slave who deceives the master, and you can't control it..."

A few words were said with heart and soul, and every word and every word was from the standpoint of a big girl to worry about her, not like what Old Madam You said just now, she just talked about how good the house was, and called the big girl full of words After getting married, support and help the family.When the eldest girl Xiang Shao heard such heartfelt words, she felt that every word hit her heart, and her eyes almost turned red.

Chen's nagging such words is just to move people with affection.Seeing that the eldest girl had listened to it, she smiled again, stretched out her hand to caress her black hair, and said, "Although you didn't crawl out of my stomach, I have brought you along for the past few years and treated you as It hurts like my own daughter. Now that you have a good home, I am both happy and worried. It’s the same for anyone who wants to be a mother. I’m afraid that you will be wronged if you marry low, and you will be angry if you marry high... ok Now you follow me to learn the management of the housekeeper, and you learn the rules from the nanny. You also know a little about those underlings who fool the master, and you also know the social affairs of the prince's mansion, but you used to be a shy girl, There is no chance to show it. Only after that mansion, you can't be so doughy."

The eldest girl had mixed feelings when she heard it, and nodded hurriedly, wiping away tears.Mrs. Chen said something again with her arms around the eldest girl, then pointed at Third Sister You and smiled, "I'm heavy now, and I'm too lazy to move. Most of the things outside the house are entrusted to your third sister. You From now on, learn more from your third sister about the methods of housekeepers and directors to control people, and it will be useful in the future - just don't imitate her tricky and weird temper, if you really learn, I am afraid that men will be frightened."

When the eldest girl heard this, she couldn't help laughing through her tears.The third sister rolled her eyes helplessly when she heard the words, but seeing Chen looking at her meaningfully, she was taken aback.

I only heard Mrs. Chen continue to say to the eldest girl: "From now on, I will leave the affairs of the family to you. You have studied for so long, and you should practice and practice. You have never been a housekeeper or director in the inner courtyard, regardless of whether you are a prince or a small family. Xiaohu, the big meaning is the same. If you can take care of the family affairs and make no big mistakes, you will not be able to make big folds when you come to that mansion. Let the people in that mansion see that even though we are Even though he was born in a small family, he can manage a family."

After listening to Chen's bewitching, the eldest girl had already forgotten the desolation and hesitation just now, her eyes were shining brightly, her cheeks were flushed, it was obvious that she was fooled by Chen.The third sister couldn't bear to look directly at her.Only after Mrs. Chen spoke a lot of words of comfort, did she send the eldest girl away.The second sister was also sent back to the main courtyard by the Chen family to pick up things.

The third sister smiled and moved to Chen's side, sat next to the mat under Chen's body, and said with a smile: "Mom said just now that I'm not a good person, so why are you more verbose than me now?" stand up?"

Mrs. Chen sneered, stretched out her hand to poke the third sister's forehead, and scolded: "If you hadn't just been full and had nothing to do, why should I be that good person to smooth things over for you. I know what you're thinking, It's just asking He Cai to spy on the secrets of other people's mansion, so that people will know that there are no rules in that mansion, and it's not easy to get along with each other from master to slave, so as to remind the eldest girl. You did it With so many, I don’t know if they will accept your affection in the future.”

The third sister didn't take it seriously, touched her forehead and said with a smile: "It's her business whether she accepts the love or not. I get along with her once, but I have to do my best. It's just for the sake of a clear conscience. Where is it?" Thinking so much."

Mrs. Chen couldn't see the third sister's smile without calculation. After hearing this, her nose was not her nose and her eyes were not her eyes. What an idiot. If you don't speak out for the sake of others, it's like flirting with a blind man. It's useless. But it's not a bad job! Now the big girl is obviously climbing a high branch, She is going to be the wife of the country. If you give her a hand and help her now, in the future she will think of your benefits even more if she gets a wish, or if she has a difficult time in the mansion. It is more blind than that old lady. Instigate her to take care of the strong ones at home. It’s just that this way, you have to work hard to train her one more time. I’m heavy now, and I really don’t have the energy to take care of her—”

After hearing this, Third Sister You hurriedly smiled and said, "Naturally. Since I took care of this trouble myself, it's not going to bother Mom right now. If Mom is exhausted because of this, it's not my fault. Mom, don't worry about leaving this matter to me."

Chen looked coldly at the appearance of Third Sister You who was eager to try, and sneered, and poked Third Sister fiercely, saying: "Now I know that sweet talk is here to deceive people. Why didn't you just scold me? The tone that has made the rich and powerful lose their minds? People fold their arms and hide them in their sleeves, but you are good, you know how to turn your elbows outward!"

The third sister knew that Chen Shi was only good at talking, and she didn't take it seriously, so she had to hug Chen Shi's silly smile and wrap her around her body like a twisted candy.Mrs. Chen just cursed a few words casually to relieve her hatred, seeing that the third sister was subdued, so she didn't say any more.He just pushed the third sister and said with a smile: "Get up quickly, don't crush your brother..."
