Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

Ordinary children with little experience are always lacking in human relations and sophistication. They don't know that the rich people often use artistic processing in their speech. Yunzhu felt in her heart that Jia Baoyu brought Feng Ziying to listen to her stories.

So, for the next three days, not only were I busy experimenting with ancient cakes with Zhao San and his wife, but I also bought a knife of paper and wrote and drew every day. I dug out the outline of the story in the Tomb Raider Notes that was left in my mind, and elaborated it with embarrassment. Read it again.

Without it, he prepared wholeheartedly, took it back to coax Jia Baoyu, thinking if he could get some more rewards.

Nowadays, reading and literacy is a precious thing. Ordinary people may not even be able to educate their children, let alone send their girls to school.Although Zhao San felt that Yunzhu's calligraphy was a little weird, it didn't stop her from being filled with pride.

In the past, she often felt guilty about Xiao Liu's status as a slave, but now that she sees her sister's skill in craftsmanship, the burden on her heart has been relieved a lot.I still have time to read and write in the courtyard of the deep house, so I think life is not too bad.

That's fine.

People live because they want to have a good future with enough food and clothing.

Seeing Yunzhu immersed herself in drawing something, Zhao San couldn't help but rub her head and asked: "Are you tired? Do you want to stay at home for a few more days?"

"I've already spent five days, how can I stay a few more days? If I go back and my house deducts my monthly payment, it will be a big loss." From being cautious at the beginning to being more comfortable now, Yunzhu feels that he has adapted took on the identity of a younger sister.

Listening to her childish words, Zhao San's eyes suddenly turned red. It was fine in the past, but now that he is full of food, it is hard to avoid that it hurts such a child to suffer outside.

Seemingly thinking about something, Zhao San sat in front of Yunzhu, stretched his head and asked her, "If you have a chance to come out of the Duke's mansion, what do you want to do?"

After Zhao San finished speaking, he couldn't help but step on his right foot with his left foot.What are you talking about, such a good treatment and family, if Xiao Liu is willing to do something, he must be relied on for the rest of his life, no matter how good the life outside is, it may not be comparable.

Yunzhu raised his head, as if trying to figure out what happened to Zhao San today, and after a while he replied seriously: "I will work hard to save money, and if there is a chance in the future, I will find a way to redeem myself."

The slave's household registration was in the name of the master's family, and in the larger case it was considered a lowly household registration.On a smaller scale, it is actually similar to an object from the Jia family.

After all, who would want to be an object?

Zhao San also thought of this, but now that her pockets are bulging, her courage is naturally much greater than when she was first sold.This time, after listening to Mrs. Hu talk about the twists and turns of those wealthy families, she quickly asked out her doubts.

"The young master didn't choose a match for you, did he?"

Zhao San is not like Yunzhu, he is an adult at heart, and after spending two years in the back house, he knows many things in his heart, but he doesn't show it on his face.Zhao San is a real teenager, not yet the age to completely hide her thoughts, the tangled look of "I'm worried and scared" almost filled her entire face.

Yunzhu: "..."

These are all Wang Xifeng's jobs, how can Jia Baoyu care about them?

"Do you and your brother-in-law still have any questions about making ancient cakes? I'm going back home, so I don't know when I will be able to come out." Yunzhu clasped his fingers, thinking that they would probably be able to move in in about a month. Go into the Grand View Garden. Once you enter the Grand View Garden, there is no need for the little maids to leave the house.

The recipe for the cake was bought by Wang Xifeng for ten taels of silver. Yunzhu naturally did not think about making it again, so he made a skeleton like chiffon cake. Yunzhu was very serious about how to use cheap ingredients to sell similar-looking food. .

Several people even studied and built an oven in the yard.

Hu Junrong stroked his chin and walked around the naan pit several times, stretching out his nose to smell the milky aroma leaking out from the side, "I also went to Hu Di in the early years, and the people there also built stoves on flat ground. , used to roast cattle and sheep or make pancakes.”

As he spoke, he came closer to Liu Ping and said mischievously: "I thought that those barbarians were rough and could not use the fine things of our Central Plains. I didn't expect that a girl like you could find another way... Gao!"

Liu Ping snorted, not bothering to argue with Muzhu about whether his sister was a genius, "Did you see this hourglass? In half an hour, I will know if this pot can help me eat in the future!"

There will always be a market and audience for sugar-oil mixtures. Yunzhu leaned in front of the window and watched Liu Ping's arrogant words. She was not worried about anyone imitating her, but was afraid of a bad market response.

"Around this baking pit, we also have several pastries to try. On weekdays, it's this ancient cake. When in season, we can also add mooncakes, puffs, milk beans..." Yunzhu detailed the production details three days ago. All were handed over to Zhao San.

Now that I was reviewing the market, I was afraid of losing money in the publicity process, so I hurriedly used the marketing methods I learned during my part-time job to teach them.

Pens, inks and paper are precious, and literacy is exclusive to the nobles. Naturally, leaflets cannot be distributed. "When you have free time, hire some beggars from the streets and alleys, and go to places with heavy traffic. Reporting and lobbying are indispensable."

"If business is bad on a day, don't keep it and don't be stingy about trying it out on the street." They are all neighbors, and the eaters are short-handed, so they eat out of their pockets.

Nowadays, there are no preservatives. Desserts with high oil and sugar content have a long shelf life, but the same cannot be said for snacks with added milk.Yunzhu didn't want Zhao San to be involved in a life-and-death lawsuit, so he specifically analyzed the pros and cons before finishing it.

Zhao San worked hard to digest the information, and also understood some of the hardships Liu Ping had when he was a salesman outside.Now that the battle with the Liu family has been fought well, no one will be too busy looking for bad luck in a short period of time.

Xiaoliu said, Jia's name is not in vain if it is not used.

Yunzhu picked out a purse from half a dozen furoshiki, put it in Zhao San's hand casually as usual, and wrote lightly: "This is 200 taels of silver."

"!!!" Zhao San held his breath for a while, then couldn't help but said: "I don't want it! Take it back!"

Yunzhu rolled her eyes. This was most of her wealth. Was that given to her for free?
Zhao San knew that he couldn't resist the little girl's sharp tongue. As soon as he threw his money bag, he covered his ears and was about to run out of the house. Unexpectedly, the little girl hugged him on his lap and asked angrily: " Are we sisters?"

"I saw with my own eyes that you, the mother-in-law, are still the stable ones I invited..." Zhao San subconsciously comforted him, but after a moment he realized what he was doing and yelled in a low voice: "Let me go!"

Seeing Yunzhu hugging her tightly, Zhao San said: "You are not short of money, why are you thinking about this?"

"Why aren't you short of money? I'm so poor, okay!"

In the inner house, apart from the rewards, there was almost no place to earn money. Yunzhu saved everything, plus the 200 taels given by Liu Ping in the first place, it was only a little more than 300 taels.Looking at the extremely expensive housing prices, how can we have a real sense of security?Now that there is a reliable opportunity to join the family, she has been cautious before she feels that she will take out the 200 taels: "Mrs. Hu must have told you that most of the servants of rich families are superficial and rich. The management is very tight. I have saved some money now, but when it comes to redemption, there are no precedents to refer to, and I don’t know how much money I need to prepare to be safe.”

"Good sister." Yunzhu squinted her face and exposed herself to Zhao San.

There was a smile in his big flashing eyes: "I'm not giving you this money for free, it's considered a bonus."

"Even if you can't get a cent, according to the original argument, I should give you a share of the profits." Zhao San still refused. The couple had no children, and they were making a net profit every day, so there was no capital. insufficient situation.

"Zhao San, Zhao San, your thinking is too small, you have to do it!" Yunzhu shook her arm, pushed Zhao San on the stool, poured another glass of water for her, and continued: "Chase the rise and kill the fall. You know? Our small business is not an exclusive patent, there are many capable people in the capital, and it is unknown how many times it will be imitated."

"Besides, if the business is good and someone wants to buy your recipe, will you sell it?" She told Zhao San about the court's policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business. If ordinary people do business, if they do better, they will be watched by the government. superior.

"Do not sell!"

"What if a dignitary threatens you?"

"..."

Seeing that Zhao San was speechless, he knew that no matter whether the business was good or not, these pastries and snacks would not be a long-term business.

Yunzhu also thought about the rule that merchants in this dynasty could not take the imperial examination. Even for a glittering family like the Xue family, Xue Pan had to abandon his family business in order to find a way to become an official. "You also have to think about your future children." , this kind of business, even if you make money, there will be people laughing behind your back."

They are ordinary people who do some short-term and quick small business. It is best to work hard for a few years and earn a lot of money to support themselves in the fields.

If things go on like this, if any of his children can study in the future, Zhao San's hardships will be over.Yunzhu's little calculations were going on in her heart, making Zhao San feel dizzy.

After listening to Xiao Liu's analysis, Zhao San snorted twice, and said stubbornly: "The child is still missing, and the child's imperial examination is not known which year of the monkey it is."

But he accepted the 200 taels of silver as promised, and did not forget to ask Liu Ping to come in as a witness. If Yunzhu hadn't said to start the furnace quickly and go back to the house in the afternoon after dinner, the couple would have had to ask someone to write a letter. A receipt is completed after pressing your fingerprint.

The Guzao cakes were very successful, the pile of naan pits was also very successful, and the winter melon imitation apple filling mooncakes were also very successful.Yunzhu almost burst into tears as she gnawed the cake embryo, as if seeing her increasingly plump pockets, the road ahead was brightened a lot.

"I'm going back!" When they came, they came with two small burdens and unloaded many gifts for Zhao San and his wife.When we returned, we still had two little baggage, but they were filled with sisterly love.

Yunzhu tearfully bid farewell to this free life and plunged into Jia's house again.

Unexpectedly, before entering the second door, I saw everyone walking away with their heads down, making a sound of wind and cranes.The smile on his face suddenly froze, what's wrong?
She didn't dare to talk to her, and even when she met people she knew well, she just looked at each other and smiled, and hurried back to Jiangyunxuan.When Xun Qixie was selling off her holiday, she couldn't hold it back after all.

"What do you want to ask?" Qi Lai looked at her calmly, put the tea tray on the shelf, poured a bowl of barley tea and drank it carefully. She was obviously both angry and busy.

Yunzhu chuckled, stepped forward to rub Qilu's waist and shoulders, and said considerately, "Sister Qi, I miss you so much! I've only been out for five days, but it seems like I haven't seen you for five years. Oh, let’s take a look, this slender waist and sandalwood face is really celestial and beautiful, it makes people...fascinate!"

Seeing the dog-legged little girl rolling around beside her, Qixi couldn't hold it in any longer. She hugged her with a puff and asked in a low voice: "How did you know that Baoyu was tricked into being a traitor?" Did the brother-in-law of the Prince's family eat?"

"What?"

Qixie saw Yunzhu's uninformed look, but she only knew that it was exactly as Baoyu said, that the branches in the same courtyard were connected with each other and looked after each other.But seeing Yunzhu's silly look, she was afraid that someone would make noises to her in the future, so she said, "On the [-]th, Baoyu went to your house."

"My sister's house." Yunzhu couldn't help but correct her. She didn't want her property to have anything to do with Jia's family.

Zha called Yunzhu to interrupt, Qixie couldn't help but glare at her, and said: "Now we have a noble concubine in our house, and the royal family is well behaved. But the loyal prince is now privately said to be a rebellious minister. Thief, although he has not been convicted, but people like us are determined not to have anything to do with him."

Yun Zhu vaguely had an answer in her heart, and seeing Qi Shang's bright red mouth opening and closing, she asked, "But what did I do wrong?"

"Silly girl! You've been a big help!" Jia Baoyu came in dancing and smiling as if he had won some kind of jackpot. The two girls both saluted, and Baochai and the others followed behind. This sudden excitement was so exciting that it made Xiao The little Jiang Yunxuan went back to the Chinese New Year.

"Everyone, let us congratulate this little girl who has hit the big luck." Baochai put her handkerchief on Daiyu's shoulder with a smile, with a leisurely look on her face, and the whole room was filled with the fragrance of her daughter's powder, like Spring flowers generally infect everyone.

"Miss Bao loves you, Miss Bao!" Yunzhu laughed, and amidst the chatter of the crowd, she finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that on the [-]th day, Feng Ziying joined the bureau originally to celebrate her being named in front of His Majesty, and also to unite with the children of the family. Under the instruction of her parents, she will show her talents after she emerges. The nephew pushed it out.

Unexpectedly, the grandson of Jingtian Houqiu's family suddenly arrived, saying he wanted to ask for a drink and have fun with everyone.

If it were normal, there would be nothing wrong with it.

But, who knew that the Qiu family was also on the list of those who attacked the palace at night that day?The young masters were so frightened that they trembled with each other and did not dare to drink with him. However, running away was a fall into the family tradition. For a while, it was difficult to advance or retreat.

The young masters drank wine and disliked the young boy being in the way. Even the young boy like Ming Yan, who was always with him, asked Jia Baoyu to send him to feed the horses.Seeing that there was no one to make up stories, it was obvious how helpless everyone was at that time.

At this time, Dr. Hu, who was summoned by Yunzhu, a magic soldier from heaven, was asking around about Jia Baoyu, saying that he had a good story about Yunding Tiangong. He just got an idea and wanted to tell it to him immediately.

When Feng Ziying saw this, she immediately dragged Jia Baoyu away as if she was joining in the fun. The people who were planning the game were gone, and the excitement naturally couldn't continue. The young masters were also smart and fled away to avoid the Qiu family's god of plague. Not unlucky.

In this way, it was a good thing to get the best of both worlds, and Yunzhu was also excited.

I thought: Hurry!Stop praising me and give me more rewards.
