Across the Red Mansion: Qingwen Upgrade Road

Ping'er said: "Although the old lady loves Miss Lin, she doesn't stop her from doing what she does. Presumably it's because the mansion is unable to make ends meet. Miss Lin is no matter how good she is, she is also a cousin, so she wants to help the mansion. Besides, the old lady is full of heart. I thought that Baoyu would marry Miss Lin in the future, since Miss Lin will sooner or later be the second grandma of Bao in the mansion, it's okay to treat those things as dowry and use them earlier."

Sister Feng heaved a long sigh, "What you said is that the old lady thought that Sister Lin would marry Baoyu wholeheartedly. Let me tell you that it is not certain. Let alone ten years, even five years later, will the old lady still be as happy as she is now?" Power and power are not necessarily the same. What's more, the wife likes Miss Bao, and Miss Lin is probably out of luck."

Ping'er also nodded in agreement.Sister Feng caressed the purse in her hand. This purse was forged with high-quality palace yarn, and it was given by Jia Yuanchun in the palace last month. There were only two horses in total, one was given to the second wife, and the other was left by the old lady. I didn't expect it to be given to Miss Lin.Sister Feng suddenly stood up, stared at Ping'er closely and said, "Tell me, who is that Qingwen? Are you familiar with her?"

Ping'er replied: "Qingwen has been serving the old lady since she came in. She just does some needlework and has been with the embroiderer next to the old lady. For the past two years, she has only lived with Yuanyang. Make some purses, sachets and cloaks, the old lady likes her craftsmanship very much. If there is something outstanding, there is really nothing. Besides, Qingwen is lazy and doesn't go out much all year round. The little girl likes it, but it's just Just give some snacks outside. Oh, and Qingwen has a lot of money. Anyone who asks someone for help, no matter how small it is, will get a thank-you gift, often a lot of money, so she is in the room. The little girl over there likes to pass a message or bring a snack to Qingwen the most."

Sister Feng asked, "Send a message? What message? To whom?" Ping'er handed Sister Feng a cup of tea and sat down next to Sister Feng's lap, "Is Qingwen a girl hired from outside, or from her hometown in Jinling. At that time, there was only one elder brother by her side, and there was no one at home, so Lai, who hired someone, arranged an errand for Qingwen’s elder brother, and brought her two brothers and sisters to the capital. Qingwen is not very close to anyone on weekdays. I only keep in touch with this elder brother. But they always send some clothes made by themselves or ask her elder brother to buy some high-quality rouge, embroidery thread or snacks outside when the two of them take turns off. The most funny thing is, The two brothers and sisters didn't meet each other even if they passed the word, so they only entrusted the little maid in the inner courtyard to help pass the word and deliver things. These second wives knew early on, and there was nothing wrong with checking it a few times, so they let it go. People who do this often convey things in private, and my wife can't see it. Besides, Qingwen does things aboveboard, and my wife likes her very much."

Sister Feng nodded, "What you're saying is, I haven't met this Qingwen a few times. Even when she received the monthly money, she was helped by Yuanyang. She was a safe person." Then she lay back and lay down, Ping'er was quiet. Quietly pinching his legs, the room was silent for a while.

Suddenly, Sister Feng sat up and grabbed Ping'er's hand, "No! No! That Qingwen is not that simple. Have you noticed the clothes and jewelry she is wearing today?"

Ping'er lowered his head and thought for a while, then he was startled, "Grandma, that Qingwen is wearing a fabric that is not available in the house. When I touch it, it feels soft and fine to the touch, but it doesn't have the quicksand texture of ordinary silk and satin. But I It must not be cotton cloth, cotton cloth will not have a streamer. Besides, grandma, have you noticed what embroidered willow leaves on Qingwen's body? Such bright embroidery threads are very rare even in the mansion."

Sister Feng nodded, "You can take a closer look at the blue soft jade hairpin on Qingwen's head, it's really rare to see that hairpin. But the rarest one is the pendant like a purse she wears, the colorful ones on it gems, do we have them in our mansion?"

Having said that, the two of them looked at each other, Ping'er's face brightened, and he held Sister Feng's hand tightly: "Grandma, do you mean that Qingwen has any means of getting money in private?"

Sister Feng looked at her dowry maid speechlessly, "You have a elm head, you really don't understand. How can a maid like Qingwen get money? Besides, she hasn't gone out yet? Presumably her brother had some chance or something. They have relatives to help them. No matter which one, we can't underestimate Qingwen. You look at Qingwen's attire, it looks refreshing, there is no flower, willow, green or golden jade, but it has a natural temperament The style of the whole body is not something that a little maid would have. Even Jia Nushi in the palace could not match it. What's more, Qingwen can dress up. Have you seen the style on that dress? Most importantly, Qingwen Wen is very disciplined, no, it's not the rules, it's the etiquette. You see, she saluted me several times from the time she entered the door to the time she left. All of them have standard postures and elegant temperament. The salutes are like a painting. It is not the etiquette of the maids in the mansion to be pleasing to the eye and the eye like flowing clouds and flowing water. Therefore, I think this Qingwen has a history, and we will respect it in the future. I have never offended you before, and I will just treat it well in the future. Tell me to go on From now on, Miss Lin's house will be dealt with first, and we will also form a good relationship and accumulate some blessings for my eldest sister."

Ping'er agreed, but expressed his doubts, "Why is grandma so afraid of Qingwen? Maybe Qingwen learned those etiquettes from watching the second girl in private?"

Sister Feng sneered, "Don't you look at what the second girls are like? Besides, the ceremony Qingwen gave me was exactly the same as that of those maids when I accompanied my grandfather into the palace. Based on this, I I knew Qingwen would go out in a year or so, and there would definitely be a great fortune."

Ping'er didn't expect this to happen again, so he went out to spread the word without asking any more questions.Sister Feng leaned against the big pillow and was in a daze silently.
