[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

As soon as the curtain outside moved, Pinxiu came into the room holding a wooden tray with lotus leaf makeup on which was placed a Mifencai Ruci small soup cup and a plate of dim sum. She put the things on the small kang table and looked to the side Luochun, who was reading a book, said: "Miss, the red date and white fungus soup from the cook is ready and here. And I also spared a plate of scallion pancakes, honoring the girl."

When Shazhi came in with her things in Pinxiu, she brought a little maidservant with basins and handkerchiefs to serve Luochun to wash her hands. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "The cook here has a wink, and the waiter The girl moved here to use what she wants, and she has never been negligent, and she doesn't need to take extra money from the girl, and she is filial to the girl from time to time. If I knew this place is so good, the girl should have moved back , Not to mention comfort, but also save a lot of money.”

Pinxiu smiled and said: "You shouldn't say that, and you don't even think about it. Where are we now, and where were we back then?" Can living with Jia's mother be the same as living with parents?Besides Luochun, Jiamu also has Yingchun and their granddaughters. The most important thing is that Jiamu's favorite son Baoyu also lives with Jiamu. Luochun is not favored by Jiamu, so why should the cook curry favor with her?But Dafang is different. No matter what, Mrs. Xing is the eldest wife of Dafang. Luochun is Mrs. Xing's eyes. Jia Amnesty does not ignore Luochun like Yingchun. Dafang is serious Apart from Jia She and Mrs. Xing, the masters are Luochun and Jia Cong. As long as the cooks are not fools, they all know which stove to cook.

Luochun smiled and said nothing, and cleaned his hands with fragrant soap in the copper basin held by the little maid, Fang picked up the soup cup, lifted the lid and took a look, he saw the pitted red dates and large pieces of red dates inside. The white fungus floated up and down in the soup pot, and there was a sweet smell when smelling it. She knew that some honey must be added in it, and it was served with the salty and fragrant scallion pancakes from the kitchen, which relieved the sweetness of the soup. Nodding, picked up the spoon, and drank in small sips.

"Is the sixth girl here?" Mrs. Wang's voice from Zhou Rui's house came from outside the door.Hearing the sound, Saori frowned, and muttered in a low voice: "It's really annoying, what is this old man doing here? A weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken-it must be a bad thing." Pinxiu gave her a sideways look, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Well. Keep your mouth shut and don’t cause trouble for the girl.” He went out with a smile and said, “Oh, it’s Mrs. Zhou who came. Our girl is in the house. It’s freezing cold outside, Mrs. Zhou Go inside and stay."

Following the words, Zhou Rui's family came into the house with a big box in their hands, and when they saw Luo Chun, they said, "Miss Six, my aunt wants me to send flowers for the girl to wear." While talking, he opened the box and showed it to Luo Chun.Two sprigs of palace-made gauze piles of fresh and delicate fake flowers were lying in a corner of the huge box, looking very pitiful.Luo Chun glanced at the hands of Zhou Rui's family, motioned for Sha Zhi to take the things over, and then asked knowingly: "Is this for me alone, or does everyone have it?"

Zhou Rui's family replied: "In addition to Grandma Zhu, all the girls and Second Grandma Lian have them in the house. These two belong to girls." Then he seemed to think of something funny and laughed: "Miss Six just said that with me. Ms. Lin's question is exactly the same as Miss Lin's. It's just that Miss Lin's words afterward were too harsh. She even said that others didn't pick out the leftovers and wouldn't give them to me. "

Hearing this, the smile on Luochun's face froze for a moment, and cast a glance at Zhou Rui's family standing below. Seeing Zhou Rui's family's calm demeanor and smiling face, it seemed that what she said just now was just a casual remark, and there was nothing else mean.With a smile on Luo Chun's face, he said with a smile: "How do you say that, why don't you pick the leftovers? The things my aunt sends are all top-notch, except for the different colors and styles, there is no other difference. Furthermore, sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away—the gift is light and the affection is heavy. I am a junior, and my aunt’s house is also a guest. My aunt specially gave me something. I am receiving this kindness from my aunt. There is nothing to be picky about. No matter how beautiful they are, they are nothing more than two flowers, and it's not like I haven't seen them before, so I don't want to pick this reason."

"That's right, that's right, Miss Six is ​​still generous and sensible." Zhou Rui's family said with a smile: "It's all the same thing. I came out from my concubine's place, but I went to Miss Second and the others on the way, and then to Miss Lin. Miss Pianlin is not forgiving, and I am in trouble. If we all think like Miss Six, it will be much easier for us to do things below."

Lazy to listen to what Zhou Rui's family had to say, Luochun gave Pinxiu a wink.Pinxiu came to invite Zhou Rui's family to have tea.After Zhou Rui's family left, Luochun's complexion immediately darkened, and she picked up the soup cup at hand and was about to throw it to the ground, but before the yarn could stop her, she let it go again, dragged the pillow on the kang and fell to the ground, Then he got up and stepped on it.

Originally, Shazhi and Luochun shared the same hatred and were angry with Zhou Rui's family, but after seeing Luochun's actions, although the sullenness in her chest did not dissipate, she was not as angry as before. She burst out laughing and asked: "Girl, what are you doing? This pillow just serves as your punching bag for the soup cup. Don't say it, you still don't feel relieved, go up and step on your feet, isn't your behavior what you usually call 'persimmons looking for soft pinches'" ah!"

Luochun also felt that his behavior just now was quite ridiculous, but faced with Saori's teasing, he bluntly argued: "It's not that Zhou Rui's family didn't go far. If I throw the soup pot and she hears the movement when I turn around, wouldn't it be I don’t want to tell her that her words have affected me, so I won’t be fooled by her. Besides, no matter how you drop the pillow, it won’t break. At most, it’s dirty. Just wash it later. But it’s broken, I’m just cherishing things.”

Shazhi suppressed a smile, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, what the girl said is true." But when it came to Zhou Rui's family, the anger that had been suppressed rose again, and she couldn't help complaining: "Look at that crazy Zhou Rui's family!" Even if she is the second wife's companion, it doesn't matter if she is decent, after all, she is just a slave, but look at her, what kind of attitude was she just now, she didn't treat the girl with the slightest respect, and she even made a provocation, asking you and Lin The girl is vindictive. It is obvious that she has done something wrong, and she does not admit her mistake, but she still pushes the fault on others. What a big face. Sister Pinxiu should let her lead her down like this, no matter what, she should be taught a lesson."

Without saying a word, Pinxiu, who sent Zhou Rui's family away, came back and said, "It's simple, who should I teach the girl? How should I teach her a lesson? She is the companion of the second wife, the servant of the second wife, and the next room." People, after all, are people around the elders. When the girl saw her, she would call her 'Sister-in-law Zhou' for the sake of the second wife. How do you ask the girl to teach her? It's too big for you to make trouble here. The house and the second house are in harmony, right? What's more, he didn't say anything he shouldn't say, he just complained to the girl about Ms. Lin. Could it be that Ms. Xu Lin said that she shouldn't be allowed to parrot later on?"

Sha Zhi was dumbfounded by Pinxiu's words, she had no words to fight back for a while, but she couldn't refute it, which didn't mean she agreed with Pinxiu's point of view, so she stammered and said: "That's not the case, it's not This should be……"

"Okay, don't argue. It's just that Zhou Rui's family doesn't follow the rules because of their decency. What's the big deal?" Luo Chun sneered, "Second Aunt has been the housekeeper for many years. Under the influence, the people around her are praised Get carried away, not knowing who you are is not a matter of a day or two. You have also seen that the contempt of Zhou Rui's family was too vicious just now, she didn't even pay attention to me, the decent sixth girl in the house, let alone Sister Lin The serious master in the mansion just lives in the mansion. Besides, the second aunt's attitude towards sister Lin is the weathervane for them who follow the second aunt's slaves, so no matter what sister Lin does, she can be picked out by them. Come on, the left is also wrong, the right is also wrong, anyway, there is no time to be right."

Hearing Luochun's sigh, Pinxiu was silent for a while, and then said: "What the girl said is very true. In fact, this matter is simple and simple, but complicated and complicated. If the concubine assigns an ordinary old nanny to handle things , she definitely dare not send it out of the order according to the rules, but who is Zhou Rui's family? She is the companion of the second wife, and she is very respectable in this house, so she thinks she has a high status and is too lazy to leave. Miss Lin's attitude, so I can't blame her for being 'disrespectful' to Miss Lin. Even if Miss Lin is favored by the old lady, what's the matter? After all, the surname in this mansion is 'Jia', not 'Lin'."

Shazhi interjected: "Why don't you say that this mansion is full of snobby eyes. If Miss Lin is treated poorly and despised, and chooses to swallow her anger and keep silent, people will think you are a bully." Gradually, you will be bullied like the second girl; but if you are not reconciled and want to maintain your dignity and fight back, you will be called 'bitter', 'difficult', 'spotless', The reputation is not well spread, so this place is not easy to stand. This group of people who watch people order dishes, all of them have to die, because of them, the house is full of smog, masters are not masters, slaves are not slaves Yes. The second wife is the same, and I don't know what old grievances with my aunt can't be solved. I can't let go of it until now, so that the people below make things difficult for Ms. Lin in order to curry favor with her. Ms. Lin is really pitiful. Involved in it, he became the target of the second wife and aunt."

"Poor?" Luo Chun repeated in a murmur.Maybe Daiyu is very pitiful without her mother and can only let Mrs. Wang and her subordinates bully her, but now, not necessarily.Jia Min, who was ill, stayed at her mother's house regardless of her reputation for her children. She didn't believe that Jia Min would be indifferent if he knew about this matter, but she didn't know what Jia Min would do and fight back?Luochun is looking forward to it.

In fact, what surprised her even more was Aunt Xue's sophistication and the "cunning" of Zhou Rui's family. Let's see how she told Zhou Rui's family: "The three girls in your family, each with a pair, and the remaining six branches, Give Miss Lin two sticks, and give the other four sticks to Brother Feng." From this passage, it is obvious that the "remaining" six sticks can be given to Sister Lin. It can be seen that in Aunt Xue's heart, Miss Lin is not serious in the Jia family after all. Master knows.Otherwise, why bother to write the word "remaining"!I really admire Cao Gong's meticulous pen and ink, and it's not in vain for Bingxue to be clever. It's really "don't pick the rest and don't give it to me".

Looking at the same remaining people who got flowers, Sister Feng got four flowers alone, twice as many as Daiyu.Compared with Daiyu, Aunt Xue dared not offend the second grandmother who was in power.The snobbish Zhou Rui's family understood, and indeed they "dropped in" to Sanchun's house. There is a reason for this, but Aunt Xue mentioned Sister Lin first, but not Sister Feng first, and this Zhou Rui's family did even better. After staying in the house for a long time, from the time he found out that Ping'er came out with a big washbasin, to the time when Sister Feng came out after "half a moment" and ordered Caiming to send flowers to Keqing, Zhou Rui's family's service to Sister Feng was really flattering.Because she would never dare to give the last four sticks to Sister Feng as Aunt Xue ordered.This housekeeper's scheming is really not simple. Not only did she go against Aunt Xue's entrustment, but she also brought her own favor along the way.

Aunt Xue came to Jia's house not long ago, but she was able to make such an arrangement: in front of Mrs. Wang, the three granddaughters of the old lady were ranked first, and the old lady's "heart" Daiyu was placed before Sister Feng; And Sister Feng, who is the head of the family, is the last, but the gift is twice as much as others.For Aunt Xue who knew exactly her position in Jia's mansion, who she should please now, and whom she should rely on in the future, it was a very sophisticated and decent arrangement, which was really admirable.If it were Luochun, she would never have thought of these things even if she had ten brains.
