[Red Mansions] The big maid struggles daily

Because Jia Baoyu was a little bored, when Youshi Zhijiu of Ningguo Mansion invited Jia Mu, Aunt Xue, and Mrs. Xing Wang to enjoy the plum blossoms, Jia Mu took Baoyu to relax.

Mother Jia ordered mandarin ducks and Zhuxiu to go with her. The people around were surprised. After taking the master away, they all said: "This has never happened before. Sister Zhuxiu doesn't care about these daily, sitting, lying and personal servants. Why did the old lady take her away?" went?"

Only Hu Po smiled and said: "What's so strange about this, Xiu girl is now in charge of Miss Lin's side, the old lady loves her granddaughter, so naturally she praises Xiu girl." Everyone felt reasonable after hearing this, so they went to work separately.

Seeing people dispersed, Amber spit and scolded: "Seeing other people get something good, everyone is jealous, what is it!" Isn't it just seeing that she went out with the old lady, the old lady is more generous outside, and there are often beatings. Is it a good thing to reward?

Although it was not the first time for Zhu Xiu to come to Ningguo Mansion, she was still a little girl when she came back, she could only stand outside the hall and wait for the summons, not daring to make a wrong step.

The plum blossoms in Dongfu are in full bloom, but the plum trees in the courtyards of wealthy people lack the charm and character of looking for plums in the snow.Mother Jia just watched it twice, and only joked with Youshi and Qin Keqing.

Just after the small banquet, Jia Baoyu said that he was sleepy and wanted to take a rest.

Zhu Xiufang felt that something was wrong, and Mother Jia had ordered Haosheng to coax him and come back after a rest.

With a smile, the Qin family took care of Jia Baoyu's placement, and told Jia's mother to rest assured.

Zhu Xiu was startled, this is not the story of Jia Baoyu's sleepwalking in the illusory world, so she heard Jia's mother ask her to go with her, so that she could take care of her.

This time, Jiamu had only two big girls, Yuanyang and Zhuxiu, and the rest were little girls who obeyed her orders.It's just that Zhu Xiu's heart was brought up. Today, Jia Baoyu's soul was drawn into the illusion by the police illusion. Although she was curious, she really didn't dare to approach it. If something was discovered, it would be no small matter.

Zhu Xiu swallowed the words as soon as they lingered on the tip of her tongue. Jiamu especially cares about face in her old age. If she goes against her wishes in front of others, even if what she says is reasonable, she will inevitably be refuted.

The Qin family is an amiable, graceful and slender woman, quite charming, and gently asks Baoyu's nurse and maid to accompany Baoyu to go.

Zhu Xiu looked at him coldly, Jia Baoyu really disliked the smell of rotten world affairs and economics in the house that Jia Baoyu had prepared for him, and wanted to go out arguing, but insisted on not staying in the house.

Qin said with a smile: "This house is not good, but where to go...or go to my house."

Zhu Xiu listened to this, and looked at her quietly, it was a bit frivolous for this person to say this on his own initiative.Sure enough, Jia Baoyu's grandma, Nanny Li, hurriedly stopped her and said, "Where is the reason for an uncle to sleep in his nephew's room?"

Qin Keqing blocked Nanny Li's mouth with the anecdote that brothers and Uncle Bao were in the same age, but still led Jia Baoyu to her room.

Zhu Xiu frowned slightly, she didn't think so before, but now she hears these words directly, and now she feels that it's very inconsistent. You have a brother who is the same age as Jia Baoyu, so that's the reason why you asked your uncle to sleep in your niece and daughter-in-law's room?Even if Qin Zhong came, could he still sleep in his sister's room?

Jia Baoyu arrived at Qin's house, and the sweet smell at the entrance had already fascinated him, and he heard Qin say that everything has its origin, not Wu Zetian, Zhao Feiyan, Yang Taizhen, Xizi and Hongniang... Zhu Xiu stood at the threshold Outside the house, only Nahan, although these people are very famous, they are really not the models of women admired by this era, and these people are not very famous because of their secret affairs.How could this be the bedroom of the grandson's daughter-in-law of the Duke's mansion?

The Qin family sent Jia Baoyu to lie down, leaving Xiren, Qingwen and other four maids in the room to accompany them, and then came out gracefully. Zhu Xiu hurriedly stepped aside and bowed her head in salute.

Qin Keqing took a look, she was only familiar with Yuanyang, and the rest of the girls were not very familiar, so she nodded slightly and passed by.He also ordered the little girl outside to watch the cats and dogs fight before going by herself.

Nanny Li also withdrew and complained to Zhu Xiu: "He's grown up, he's getting worse and worse, what's not a good place to sleep, why should he sleep in this room?"

Zhu Xiu only smiled and comforted her: "Second Master Bao has already fallen asleep, and the nanny has also rested. I will report to the old lady first."

From a long distance away, I could still hear Nanny Li muttering to herself, saying things like 'it's not like a serious grandma's house', 'don't be ashamed', 'teach Baoyu badly' and so on.

Zhu Xiu shook her head slightly, this Mammy Li's mouth was out of line: these words are unthinkable, no matter what she can dislike the Qin family, besides, in Jia's mother's opinion, it is wrong for her to place Jia Baoyu in her house safe.What place is more exquisite and comfortable than the master's grandma's residence?

When Zhu Xiu brought two little girls to Jia Mu, Qin Shi did not come back. When Zhu Xiu returned to arrange Baoyu's affairs, Jia Mu asked her very carefully.

Jiamu smiled at Youshi, "No wonder I love her. This child is a rare and appropriate person, who can talk and be dignified. Listen to what she said, 'It's so good to watch cats and dogs fight'. No one else has said that." Don’t need such thoughts! It’s because she doesn’t care about her Uncle Bao’s people, and she’s afraid that those ignorant little girls will disturb Baoyu’s sleep, that’s why she said that..."

You Shi smiled all over his face, and still said that it was Jia Mu who praised her, but it was just that she favored her great-grandson and daughter-in-law.

Even Mrs. Wang was not unhappy, she just said: "It's just that he has too many things to do, so he can't rest anywhere, and he insists on causing trouble to Rong's daughter-in-law..."

These words made Zhu Xiu's brain flash, could it be that there is some mystery in that room, Jing Huan can only lead souls into the secluded world only there?It makes sense to think so, after all, the decorations are nothing more than the couch and bed curtains of the Tang princess, the gauze quilt washed by Xizi, and the matchmaker’s pillow are all ancient relics for many years. Ruannuan, how weird.

Thinking about it again, even the monks who appear frequently and want to turn girls from various families into monks, the supernatural powers they show are just voices that can be heard by the people in the inner house, or they disappear after a few steps, these two people have never Those who go directly into the house without the consent of the master...is it rational or impossible?Zhu Xiu thought about the door gods that every household had to post during the New Year, and she seemed to understand.

Besides, in Qin's red silk warm tent, Jia Baoyu was not very safe. Suddenly he woke up from a nightmare, and the attacker rushed up to hug him and told him not to be afraid.

He said again, "Hurry up and serve him a bowl of soup to soothe his nerves."

Musk Moon hurriedly brought it over, and Xi Ren waited for him to sip a couple of sips.Qingwen and others just watched Xiren wipe Baoyu's sweat and dress, but they couldn't get a hand in it, so they had to be busy with others.

Xiren tied Jia Baoyu's trouser belt, but reached out his hand to touch his thigh, and found it cold and sticky.

Jia Baoyu's face was flushed, and he quickly squeezed her hand, Xi Ren then lowered his head, looking infinitely shy.

After tidying up her clothes, Qin came into the room and said with a smile, "How did Uncle Bao sleep well? This sleep time is not short, the old ancestor has sent people to look at it several times."

Baoyu thanked him with a smile, and only said yes, Xiren followed behind him, with his head buried, which was very different from the past.

Qin didn't know Xiren, so she didn't pay attention, only Qingwen glanced suspiciously a few times.

The waiter sent Baoyu back to Jia Mu, and Qin ordered the girl to make up the bedding. Unexpectedly, when the quilt was lifted, the girl frowned and said, "What's the smell?"

Qin was puzzled, and walked two steps. She is an experienced daughter-in-law, so she knew the reason immediately, and immediately scolded: "What a lot of talk! Just change the bed curtain and bedding, where did those weird words come from!"

It's just that I feel uncomfortable after all, and I don't look here anymore, I just feel that Jia Baoyu is so careless about how old he is.He also blamed himself, thinking that all the men from the Jia family are virtuous, and that the phoenix egg of Xifu must also be a dissolute person in the future. He hates himself for being stuck in this mud and cannot be clean... Jia Baoyu is still in Jiamu's place. My heart is itchy and hard to rub, I don't know that his deeds have added another serious heart disease to Qin Shi Keqing.

As soon as he entered the hall, Zhu Xiu smelled a strange smell, and seeing Xiren's soft and pretty demeanor, he immediately reacted.

Jia Baoyu went into Jiamu's arms to act coquettishly, Zhu Xiu only looked at the toothache, this young master looked so calm, wouldn't it be uncomfortable to stick to his body like peeing his pants?

Yuanyang stretched out his arms to pull her, "What are you doing hiding there, quickly show me the old lady's cards."

Zhu Xiu had no choice but to move closer, feeling in her heart that her keen sense of smell was not a good thing.

After dinner, Mother Jia took a group of people back to Rongfu.

Xiren tried every means to send everyone out, and only kept her and Baoyu in the house, so he took out his middle coat and changed it for him.

Zhu Xiu was in the front hall, and she could also hear her deliberately asked: "What story did you dream about? Is it the dirty things coming out of there?"

Zhu Xiu smiled "puchi", this attack is also interesting, Sima Zhao's heart is obvious, so why pretend to be ignorant when he actively asks.

Yuanyang was with her, and asked strangely: "What's wrong with you today? During the day, the old lady told you to watch Master Bao sleep, but you came back after a turn around. No one will recruit you at this moment, and you have no chance. Laughing for no reason."

Zhu Xiu said with a smile: "I think of an interesting story, let me tell you: there is a piece of fat, everyone wants it, even if it is oiled with a hand, it is good. There is a parrot next to the fat , I have been salivating for a long time, but I pretend to be restrained, and I always show my selfless money. This day, the fat is dripping, and the bird obviously has [-] saliva, but it is deliberately teasing that bird. Meat, let the meat jump into its mouth by itself... It's just that the meat is big, and although it's in the mouth, I'm afraid it's going to swallow a hot sweet potato in one gulp—breathtaking and heartburn."

The mandarin duck was confused, and also guessed that Zhu Xiu was only mocking, and even guessed that the fat was talking about Baoyu, but couldn't figure out why, so he laughed and said, "It's getting more and more out of order, Fat meat and lean meat have nothing to do with us! Even if the oil flows for three thousand miles, who would care about it?"

Yuanyang is highly regarded by Jia Mu, and compared to other girls, she came to the mansion at only a few years old. She has seen a lot in these years, and she has a stubbornness in her heart: even if she twists her hair to be a sister-in-law, she will not be an aunt-in-law.Zhu Xiu came, and it was the same. Yuanyang knew her ambition, and became more and more willing to get close to her. This year, she has nothing to say.

Zhu Xiu didn't want to listen to others here, so she hurriedly went to Meishouyuan.

What I don't know is that after she left, two maids did this trick.

A Qingwen, she thought Xiren and Baoyu were weird just now, usually Xiren sent people away, but today Baoyu also helped, and even with Grandma Xiaorong, Xiren's expression was very different.Thinking of this, he turned around quietly outside and hid under the outer window to eavesdrop.

The other is Bihen. In the past two days, Baoyu has not asked her to serve her more and more. Today, when she came back from Dongfu, she deliberately teased him to make him play, but Baoyu ignored him.Therefore, Bihen thought that Shi Xiangyun had offended Xiren when he left, and Xiren said bad things about her to Baoyu behind her back.Therefore, when she saw the attacker sending someone away, she hid behind the curtain outside the bisha cabinet.

After leaving Xiangyun's house, Jia Baoyu moved into the green gauze cupboard. At this moment, the two of them closed the door to do those cloudy things.

Hearing that the voice inside was wrong, Qing Wenzi blushed, almost screamed, covered her mouth and sneaked out from under the wall, and then spat hard: "Zhen Ri put on makeup like a serious person, said I'm thick and clumsy, who would have thought I'd be a vixen in rabbit fur!" She was ashamed and angry, and Baoyu was also shameless, mingled with the hoofs and dirty my ears for no reason.

Thinking about it, she stomped away after all, but she was a caring person who scolded fiercely, for fear that someone would break Baoyu's face and dare not go far, so she turned her head aggrieved, and stood outside Sit down in the small hall in the room and watch to keep people away.It's just that Qingwen has a strong temper, and her heart is blocked. After seeing Xiren, she became more and more angry. The western flower idea Haba just opened her mouth to curse like this.

On the other hand, Bihen, even though she is one or two years younger than Xiren Qingwen, is calculating in her heart, she nestled there, her face was flushed red, but what she was thinking was that Xiren did it, why can't I do it?

These two people, separated by two rooms, both heard the secret, but their thoughts were completely different.

-

Zhu Xiu endured it again and again, because only Mammy Zhu knew that she had a "smooth ear", so she only told her mother some things, otherwise she would be full of gossip and stories, but she had to hold back. It's not something a woman can bear. .But this matter between men and women, although Zhu Xiu is not thin-skinned, she is also embarrassed-even if she has watched a few imported action movies in her previous life, she is still a pure person with a single mother and fetus, but she has to open her mouth to her mother about it in this life.

"What's the matter, are you out of your mind?" Madam Zhu asked in relief as she touched her forehead, her hands were not hot.

Zhu Xiu came back to her senses and opened her mouth, remembering that Baoyu and her sisters would live together in the Grand View Garden in the future, she finally opened her mouth, leaned on her mother's shoulder, and finished talking about Jia Baoyu and the attackers in a low voice.

Even though Mammy Zhu is well-informed, she didn't expect Xiren to be so bold. That's the main room in the upper courtyard, and the Bisha cabinet is only far away from the warm pavilion where Jia's mother is. Besides, there are so many people and Jia Baoyu is a girl There are crowds of nurses, and they are not surrounded by people for a while.

Grandma Zhu only thought her daughter was frightened, and hurriedly hugged her daughter in her arms and taught: "Although Mama said this a little early, but you need to know that eating and drinking, men and women, people have great desires..." Zhu Nanny was afraid that her daughter would Because of this matter, I have prejudice and disgust, and I racked my brains to think of words.

Zhu Xiu's heart was warm, and she didn't want her mother to embarrass herself, so she pretended to be ashamed and said: "Mum mother, stop talking, who meant this! It's just that the second master is an adult, and he will still be in the inner curtain in the future. Miss Lin lives here, at least some distance away."

Grandma Zhu was also worried. This Second Master Bao was pampered and lawless by the Rong Mansion. Earlier, he came to lock the gate of the courtyard, but the two women stopped him from coming in. Later, when the girl went to the main room, she complained to her, saying that the two The mother-in-law is hateful.Now that he is a man and has a family member, the reasoning is naturally to choose a courtyard to live in another house, and to walk less among his sisters in the future, but Rong Mansion is not a reasonable place!

Even if the embroidered girl didn't say it herself, Mammy Zhu also knew that they could live in this yard now, and how much effort the girl had put in secretly. Didn't the Xue family still live in the cramped Pear Fragrance Courtyard?Thinking about that Miss Bao, her elder brother already has a common room, and she has no place of her own, so she has to share a yard with her adult elder brother. Because of this, the eldest brother of the Xue family has no home, and no matter how hard his mother scolds her Isn't that the reason why people go to him to go home and just hang out with him.

Nanny Zhu talked about the Xue family's affairs in a low voice, and said: "This is still my brother. Of course, it is the wife of the Xue family who wants to send Miss Xue into the palace to be rich, so she is stricter, but the reason is the same."

Zhu Xiu asked: "How does Mu Ma know what the Xue family is thinking?"

Mother Zhu smiled and said: "That Mrs. Xue heard that I taught the elder girls in this mansion how to behave, so she asked me intentionally. She said that she was a girl from a relative's family. Don't I know that this is a cover-up?" After finishing speaking, he suddenly shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid this Mrs. Xue's money has been thrown into the water. She wanted to follow the Jia family's way in her heart, but she made a mistake. The eldest girl in this house is a slave." The one who went in, although the outside said it sounded good, but we all knew it, but she was fascinated by the words of the biography, thinking that what her own sister said was true. But the second wife could see her niece in the election, and she suppressed herself for nothing. Is it a daughter... This matter is about to come to a conclusion, and Mrs. Xue's painstaking efforts will be in vain."

After saying something foreign about Xue's family, Mammy Zhu rubbed the center of her brows and told her daughter, "Leave these things alone, I just hope you don't worry about it, everything is up to me. No matter how bad it is, you still have to worry about it." Mother's sperm, her heart and eyes reach ten other people."

But Zhu Xiu was not so at ease, she just said: "When the girl is here, she usually reads and practices calligraphy, or copies a few scriptures, and also does some work for Master Lin to pass the time. I don't know Second Master Bao very well. Yes, why did the girl talk to him quite a bit when I saw it?"

Mammy Zhu rubbed her, and said with a smile, "You really care about ten people." Then she sighed again: "Perhaps people are destined to each other, just like our mother and daughter, or like the girl and that girl." The second master. The girl herself said that she hated him when she met him for the first time, but after he insisted on talking, she felt that he was a sincere person... Especially the girl said, somehow, it’s fine if they are not together. When I was with him, I always felt that he was familiar and closer than others."

"It's almost a year away, the girl is in control, and the second master can't come easily, it's enough for us to plan a way..."

After talking about that, he talked about the women's private affairs: "Madam Lin gave you 1 taels of silver, how about I entrust your uncle to set up a Zhuangzi? Zhuangzi can be promising, which is worse than letting it go for nothing. Besides, I will slowly plan and give it to you. There is also a place to store the dowry...the girl of the family starts saving as soon as she hits the ground, my girl, it is not as early as others, but mother will never tell you to be worse than others..."

The two women were together, talking heartfelt words, planning for the future, and slowly fell asleep in the middle of the night.

The next day, Zhu Xiu accompanied Daiyu to have breakfast together. The mushroom soup she made was very popular. Everyone was happy together when Zijuan came in and said, "Sister Zhu Xiu, there is a girl from the upper court coming in outside." Send word."

Zhu Xiu wanted to go out, but Daiyu said, "Let's eat ours and ask her to come in."

Zhu Xiu saw that it was not Jiamu's girl, but Qiuwen.Qiuwen came in, greeted Daiyu quickly, and then said to Zhu Xiu: "Sister Zhu Xiu, sister Xiren somehow fell ill today and can't eat anything. Second Master Bao said that sister should make some porridge and soup. The porridge and rice he had with the old lady before were delicious..."

The author has something to say:

Note: "Where is there a reason for an uncle to sleep in his nephew's room?" "It's so good to watch cats and dogs fight." "What story did you dream about? Is it the dirty things that flow out there?" Quoted from the original text.
