[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

As night fell, Jia's mansion, which had been noisy all day, finally quieted down.Although Luochun didn't participate in the wedding, but after a day of quarreling, during which time she had a fierce battle with Aunt Xing, she was very tired.Bringing embroidery and yarn weaving, Luochun with a tired face was about to go back to her own house. She walked past the backyard of Jia Mu's main house, and when she turned the corner along the back porch, she ran over with Yingchun's nanny with her head down. Just hit the opposite side.

Seeing that Yingchun's nanny almost bumped into Luochun, Pinxiu said angrily: "Mom, why are you in such a hurry, what made you forget to look at the way? It's a good thing you didn't hit the girl, otherwise if you hurt the girl, No matter how decent my mother is, I'm afraid she won't be able to afford it."

"Miss Six?" Yingchun's nanny was also taken aback, subconsciously reached out and touched the bulging front skirt, her attitude was not as arrogant as usual, and said falteringly: "I, I have something urgent, So... I was busy on my way, so I didn’t notice it for a while.” Then she came to her senses, rolled her eyes, and scolded: “Aren’t the six girls all right, little hoof, don’t scare people here. I don’t have time right now. I am entangled with you here, and I will settle accounts with you later." After speaking, he left in a hurry.

Seeing this, Shazhi muttered: "It's really rude." Luochun looked back at Yingchun's wet nurse, walked forward without saying anything.After entering the house, Pinxiu ordered the little girls to bring washbasins, towels, mirrors and other things to help Luochun wash and change clothes.When Luochun was sitting on the low-legged bed taking a shower, Pinxiu said: "I don't think the girl has eaten seriously all day, why don't I ask the kitchen to make a three-cooked cat's ear soup for the girl as a supper? "

In this day and age, eating meat is not an easy task, and it represents status to some extent.In order to show mercy to the subordinates, the rule in the mansion is that the master eats meat, and the servants must also eat meat. Therefore, there are carnivorous animals all over the mansion, so the taste in the mansion is more meat, more oil and less vegetables.Normally, although the dishes are greasy, there are still some relatively light dishes during the banquet, but in today's important event, in order to show the wealth and style of the mansion, the table is full of delicacies from mountains and seas, mostly meat dishes, but there are only a few dishes Vegetarian dishes need more than a dozen chickens and ducks to match, and all the meat oil is used, so it is very greasy.

This kind of banquet, not to mention eating, even looking at it, makes one feel tired. Luo Chun felt that she couldn't even sit down with her chopsticks, so after picking and choosing, she didn't eat much.After Jing Pinxiu said this, Luo Chun suddenly felt a little hungry, first nodded in a hurry, and then said: "Forget it, I have been busy in the kitchen for several days because of Lian's second brother. They are so busy that they don't touch the ground, they are tired enough, so there is no need to bother."

Pinxiu opened the mother-of-pearl cabinet where money was kept on weekdays, opened the drawer to withdraw money, and said with a smile: "What's the trouble? Everything is ready-made. What the girl wants is not complicated, and she will get it in a while. I'm afraid they still have money." I can't wait, after all, the girl has never let them go to work for nothing." She shook the money in her hand at Luochun, "'Money can turn ghosts', just the people in our family. It’s not unclear, seeing this, it’s more effective than any panacea, and I’m still yelling tired words, I’m sure I’ll make it for the girl and send it here,” said Luo’er, the little girl, to give her the money, so that She went to the kitchen to order.

Shazhi handed the almond mutton oil to Luochun, and then said in Pinxiu's words: "It is said that the second wife takes care of the family well, please be lenient and pity, and the people below will praise her when they mention her. But if you ask me, the second wife is too The group of people in our family are used to their nostrils turned upside down, like uncles, they are paid monthly money for doing things in the mansion every month, but whatever tasks the girl assigns, they have to take the money out alone, The trouble caused most of the girl's monthly money to be spent on this, and this unhealthy trend should be stopped."

Luo Chun smiled and said, "You're right. Now Lian's second brother is getting married, and Lian's second sister-in-law has already passed the door. When I turn around, wait for Lian's second sister-in-law to take over the housekeeping. I'm used to living a relaxed life. Then just don't complain about her being strict." Yes. In the future, if you fall into the hands of Lian's second sister-in-law someday, I will not intercede for you."

ah?Saori was immediately frightened.Seeing Shazhi's face slumped, Pinxiu came over, poked her on the cheek, and said with a smile: "If I give you a mallet, you should take it seriously. You can't even tell that the girl is joking with you, so don't even think about it." Lian's Second Grandma is the housekeeper, how can the Second Wife agree?" Pinxiu never believed that Mrs. Wang would hand over the power of the housekeeper and hand it back to the eldest room.

"I'm not joking, I'm telling the truth." Luochun said with a serious expression: "This is not a question of whether the second aunt thinks about it. After all, the Rongguo Mansion is the eldest house. At the beginning, it was only the mother of the second brother Lian who passed away. My mother That's why the old lady asked the second aunt to take care of it for a while. Now that the second elder brother Lian is married and the eldest daughter-in-law has passed the house, if the aunt in the next room is to help the housekeeper, what's the matter? Even if the second aunt doesn't want to Handing over the power, my father will not agree."

It is well known in the mansion that Jia's mother favors the second wife, so Shazhi thought for a moment and asked, "But will the old lady agree?" People, yarn weaving, they naturally regard her as a person from the same country.As members of the eldest family, they naturally hoped that the eldest family would be well.If it was the big house butler, the situation in the mansion would be quite different, at least it would not be the same as now, the big house obviously inherited the title of the mansion, but because the housekeeper is the second house, the servants of the second house are invisibly superior to the big house.

Luo Chun smiled and said meaningfully: "At that time, I'm afraid that the old lady will be the first one to ask Lian's second sister-in-law to be the housekeeper." Why does Jia's mother prefer the second wife? Is it really because the second wife is lovable?There may be a little reason, but the word "balance" is more important.Although this era emphasizes that filial piety is greater than the sky, Jia's mother cannot subdue the two sons with the word "filial piety" alone, so they can say the same thing.Only when the first room and the second room fight, can Mother Jia stand firmly in the center and be an old lord who can keep her word. Otherwise, if the power is completely biased towards one room, who will listen to what she has to say?Now, Mother Jia is old and has been ignorant for many years. The Second Household has been in charge of the mansion for many years. The people in the house have gradually been subdued by Mrs. Wang, and the balance has been tilted towards the Second Household.

What's more, in the past, Jia Amnesty had no choice but to pinch his nose and ask Mrs. Wang, a younger sister-in-law, to help the housekeeper because there was no one on his side. Now that his decent daughter-in-law has married into the house, how could it be possible? Let Mrs. Wang continue to be in power?What's more, with Wang Xifeng's personality, how could she not fight for the right to be the housekeeper, and guard her little home peacefully?It's fine if you don't have this qualification, but as the grandson-in-law of the head of the house, the director of the house is justified.

Pinxiu said with a smile: "If that's the case, then it's all right. I just don't know if there will be some changes in the second girl's place. Girl, look at the second girl's side, didn't we meet the second girl when we came back just now? The nanny, Mama Wang, is gone. I saw that Mama Wang's skirts were bulging, and there was still a piece on the edge. The pattern was one of the materials that the mansion gave to the girls to make new clothes because of the happy event of the second master Lian. It's exactly the same. I don't believe it, it was given to her by the second girl, and Ms. Wang must have taken it secretly while the people in the house were not paying attention. I heard Siqi said that Ms. Wang's behavior was not once or twice, and I don't know. I don't care what the second girl thinks."

Luochun picked up a little almond sheep oil with his nails, melted it, and spread it all over his hands. Hearing this, he said, "Why, what I told you last time, didn't you tell Siqi?" Although Siqi asked for help last time, Due to various reasons, Luochun ignored her, but she pointed to Pinxiu.Pinxiu has a good relationship with Siqi, logically speaking, he should have talked to Siqi, since Siqi knew about it, he should persuade Yingchun to make some changes, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

"Of course I said it." Pinxiu tidied up the clothes that Luochun had changed, raised her head and said, "It's just that the second girl is willing to listen to persuasion. Siqi said that the second girl said that she just wanted to live in peace. , I don’t want to cause trouble. Girl, listen, what is the second girl talking about? How did it become ‘provoking trouble’? This has been bullied by the people in the house, and you still want to be clean? I really don’t understand The second girl's thoughts. In fact, it is not easy to say. I think the fourth girl is even more difficult than the second girl. The fourth girl is obviously from the east mansion, but now she lives in this mansion. I'm a real brother, but I haven't seen how close Uncle Zhen is to her younger sister. As for the sister-in-law, Grandma You, it's just a matter of face. And the fourth girl is younger than the second girl, but Don’t you manage the people around her submissively? I think if the second girl continues like this, one day, her house will be emptied by Ms. Wang and the others. Maybe one day she will be sold as well. .”

"After all, under the eyes of the old lady, Mother Wang is not so courageous. She is just stealing some things like fat, rice, hair, oil and cloth. However, if the two Elder sister has always been so indifferent, if she continues to indulge, she will become more and more courageous to indulge, and then it will be really like what you said, and it will not be impossible to evacuate the second sister's things." In the plot, Mother Wang Stealing Yingchun's expensive jewelry to gamble, it can be seen that her bad deeds were not formed in a day or two, there should be clues, but Luochun does not believe that no one will find out in Yingchun's room, but Yingchun, the only one who can control Mama Wang, is right. If he left it alone, what else could others do?Either they will be in the same boat, or they will pretend not to see, pretend not to know, or they will sulk secretly... eventually causing the situation to escalate.

Sazhi heard this, snorted, and said, "Even if Ms. Wang nursed the second girl, I don't believe that if the second girl told the old lady about her stealing, the old lady would forgive her? Since the second girl I don't care about it, I don't care, why does the girl have to worry about the second girl here? Sister Siqi and the sister Yuanyang who is next to the old lady are on good terms. It's all settled, but I asked the girl to come and let the girl make trouble. Aren't you worried that the matter will be brought to the old lady, for fear that the old lady will think the second girl is useless and lose the old lady's favor? I really think I am a fool. I can't see how careful she is!"

"Xazhi, what are you talking nonsense here, it seems like there is nothing you don't know!" Sazhi's words meant that Siqi would treat Luochun like a fool. After hearing this, Pinxiu hurried to drink end.Then she took a peek at Luochun's face and said, "Girl, don't take what Sazhi said to heart, she has no intention of speaking, she is talking nonsense..."

"You don't need to comfort me here, I understand." Luo Chun interrupted Pinxiu with a smile.Jia's mother likes smart and articulate girls, but what she despises the most is that they are wimpy, and the master doesn't have the gentle appearance like the master.Yingchun knows that her personality does not please Jia Mu. She feels that she can live a peaceful life in Jia Mu's yard now, thanks to Jia Mu. Jia Mu's attitude determines everything, so she doesn't want Jia Mu to dislike her, so That's why he chose to hide things like Jia's mother, and Luo Chun had already seen through this. "Although the second elder sister is the daughter of Da Fang, in her heart, the old lady is her only support, so even if she doesn't please the old lady, she doesn't want to cause the old lady's dislike."

Pinxiu smiled, and sighed: "It's good that the young lady can understand, but the second young lady thinks too much. The second young lady is peaceful, but her temper is a bit too soft. Everyone said, 'You must use a heavy hammer to play the drum' , it seems that if you want the second girl to change, you still need to take strong medicine, or let the second girl experience some things that make her feel that she has to change."

Luochun thought of Yingchun's experience in the Sun's family after she got married, but she didn't see any changes. She shook her head and sighed: "It's really not easy for the second sister to change her personality. Great stimulation is useless, you will only blame the cause on your life, and cry for your own life..."

While talking, Luo'er came in from outside carrying a food box.Pinxiu took it, took out the three delicacies cat's ear soup inside, put it on the table, Luo Chun stopped talking, got up and came to the table, picked up the chopsticks to drink the soup.After eating, Luochun looked at the embroidery manual for a while, and played a few rounds of Shuanglu with Pinxiu and Sazhi.Seeing Luochun's high spirits, Pinxiu couldn't help persuading her: "Girl, I've been tired all day, it's almost Haishi, it's time to go to bed, and Lian's second grandma will visit her family tomorrow morning, maybe she has to get up early. "

Luo Chun turned his head and looked at the rosewood carved lacquer grandfather clock behind him, seeing that the hour hand on it was almost pointing to nine o'clock, he nodded and said: "Well, what you said is very true, then go to sleep." On the bed, Sha Zhi came up and helped Luo Chun to the bed, and the two of them helped Luo Chun lie down.Then put down the curtain, move the incense sticks, and the two of them also fell asleep.
