The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 186 Because of Zijuan's birthday question, Daiyu's helping hand is suspicious

Lin Daiyu thought it was a good idea to set the tone of the bare-handed spoon with all the sisters—at least she didn't let Baochai be more beautiful than before.

However, when I got home and actually operated it, I found that things were far from being as simple as I thought.

Needless to say, Daiyu herself, she has always opened her mouth with clothes and hands, and although Zijuan and Xueyan around her are maidservants, they have been pampered since childhood. They have never handled red and white cases, and occasionally need Serving on the stove is just to boil water and make tea.

Therefore, the three masters and servants gathered together, as if they were worried about something.

Zijuan originally comforted her, saying that there is nothing we can do here, and the other girls are probably the same.

In the end, I got the news a few days later, saying that the second girl specially invited a few cooks to take turns to go to the house to teach; the third girl also took the fourth girl to go to the stove to "show her face" all day long; When it comes to Miss Bao, there is obviously no shortage of masters who teach skills.

Daiyu became more and more anxious for a while.

The previous illness was just a little better, but I couldn't eat or sleep, and suddenly it happened again.

Zijuan and Xueyan, who had been bluffing for a while, discussed asking Baoyu to come and take care of them again, but Daiyu insisted on refusing, saying that Baoyu's birthday should not be missed because of trivial matters, so the two had no choice but to give up.

But they can't just watch Daiyu being so anxious and getting depressed day by day.

So I used my brain to calculate carefully.

Younger sister Lin couldn't save herself to learn the method of the third and fourth girls; Daiyu didn't bother to learn the method of Miss Yun. At present, it seems that there is only the method of Yingchun, or there is a possibility of learning from it.

So on the afternoon of the 23rd, Zijuan entrusted Daiyu to Xueyan's care, and quietly found the Yingchun courtyard by herself.

She didn't dare to disturb Siqi, she only looked for Xiuju's indirect inquiries.

Xiuju followed Jia Yingchun, who was submissive and did not argue about everything, and she was surrounded by a greedy mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Wang, who was used to poverty and embarrassment. Not to mention comparing with Zijuan, she was even worse than Xueyan.

Now that he has a support, he finally showed his face among the sisters with the second girl, so he had to show off a few words.

Then he snapped his fingers and said: "What tricks can there be for such things, left and right are just extra money! These people are most open to money, and they open three hundred big money a day, and they are rushing to come at the stove!"

Seeing Zicuckoo seems a little tempted.

Xiuju then said: "But these are all small heads. The real big heads are materials for girls to practice their hands. We didn't take advantage of the mansion. They were all bought from outside by entrusting someone. The daily mileage is enough. It took one or two taels of silver!"

Now Zicuckoo has no more thoughts.

Such a bold method, I'm afraid my daughter will not be able to learn it.

However, the second girl has always been in short supply, and she was mercilessly extorted by the eldest wife before, but where did she come from such a generous sum?
She curiously asked a few words, but Xiuju just smiled and didn't answer.

Zijuan had no choice but to return to the topic, and asked about the preparations needed to hone her cooking skills.

As a result, the more she asked her, the colder her heart became. It wasn't that Xiuju had mentioned some rare items, on the contrary, she was used to seeing the things that Xiuju reported, even Lin Daiyu was tired of eating them. .

But this is where the joints are!
Previously, I only thought about the worthlessness of the things I bought with my own hands, but I forgot that the flowers, plants, stitches, and threads used in this house are all precious objects!
If you really think about it, the few taels of silver that Daiyu has saved, I'm afraid it may not be able to catch up with the old lady's fraction of a dinner!

Therefore, although "ordinary materials" are used for Yingchun, the selection fee is not a little bit.

After figuring this out, Zicuckoo became more and more headache.

Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai are together, so there is no need to worry about it; the third girl and the fourth girl obviously want to take advantage of the stove, so naturally they don't have to worry about the material; What should I do if I win the championship in one fell swoop?
The more I think about it, the more I feel embarrassed for Lin Daiyu, Zijuan naturally loses interest in talking.

She said goodbye to Xiujuan with a few perfunctory words, and was walking out of the courtyard listlessly, not wanting to chase someone out from behind.

"Zicuckoo, Zicuckoo, wait a minute!"

Zijuan looked back, but it was Siqi striding forward. Before she could open her mouth, she heard her bluntly say: "Our girl is learning cooking at home alone, and it is really boring. Tomorrow, I will ask Xiuju to invite you, Miss Lin." Come on, the two sisters also have a companion, what do you think?"

When Zijuan heard this, why didn't she know that she did it deliberately, wanting to help her daughter?
At the moment, I am very grateful to Siqi, and then I went away beaming.

Siqi watched her go away, turned around and went back to the courtyard, but met Yingchun on the porch.

I heard Yingchun complaining with a straight face: "Our life is better, but why are you meddling with this? You are obviously looking for trouble by getting close to this person who provokes that."

Because Yingchun is a person who swallows his breath and refuses to be troublesome, the two masters and servants have already lost their status.

Now, although he complained face to face, Siqi is not afraid at all: "We have been together since we were young, can the girl just watch her suffer? What's more, Miss Lin is closer than Miss Bao. Now that we have the spare power, It is also necessary to help out once or twice!"

She was aggressive here, and Yingchun couldn't help but softened. He hesitated to speak and took a half step back, sighed slightly, and went back to the room silently to take out the "Taishang Induction Chapter" and Jiao Shun's gift. Expectations remain.

…………

Over there, Zicuckoo returned to the old lady's courtyard,

Just when she was about to go around to the place below Lin Daiyu, Xueyan's voice came from the corner: "Sister, we are here!"

Zijuan turned his head to look, but only heard his voice but could not see him.

Just as he was wondering, he saw smoke rising from behind the rockery, so he hurriedly walked around to the back with the corner of his skirt.

It was Daiyu and Xueyan's master and servant surrounded by a small red clay stove that came into view.

"Why did you choose to be here?"

Zijuan asked curiously, and stepped forward to take the blowpipe from Daiyu's hand, but Daiyu retracted her hand and avoided it.

"Sister, hurry up and persuade the girl!"

Xueyan said with a bitter face: "After taking a nap at noon, I finally regained some energy, so I made a fuss to come to this place where people carry people to practice, saying that I should at least learn how to burn fire first."

Zijuan knew at a glance that this must be another act of anger.

Originally, he wanted to hide from Daiyu that he got help from the second girl, so as not to make her feel that she was asking for help.

But now she couldn't care less, and hurriedly said: "What can I learn from this? I ran into Siqi just now, and she was worried that the second girl was alone, and she said that tomorrow she would invite the girl to learn cooking together. Good to have a companion."

Lin Daiyu paused when she was adding firewood, raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Zijuan, then lowered her eyes and said: "Second elder sister always ignores things, but how could it be... You must have come to the door to sue, right? ?”

Seeing that Daiyu couldn't be concealed, Zijuan had no choice but to tell the cause and effect.

He swore again: "Don't dare to lie to the girl, I never took the initiative to ask for anything, this is what Siqi said on his own initiative!"

Lin Daiyu was still puzzled: "Hearing you say that, it's even more strange—Second sister followed the eldest wife earlier, and she was obviously deducted a lot of monthly fees, but why did she become so extravagant?"

"I'm surprised too."

Zijuan recalled what she had seen and heard in that courtyard, and subconsciously said: "I see that there are a lot of pastries in that room, and they are all rare shapes in our mansion. I guess they were bought from outside."

Speaking of this, she suddenly woke up, and hurriedly said: "Young lady, don't inquire about it! After all, the second young lady has good intentions, we must not be bad customers!"

Although Lin Daiyu nodded slightly when she heard the words, her autumn-like eyes were full of inquiry.
