Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

Chapter 106 I still have a few more recipes

Yuanyang thought for a while, called for Pearl and chatted for a while. After considering everything, he took care of the gold and jade box that the old lady usually used to reward people.

Everyone was simply immersed in the joy of moving. Yunzhu was cleaning the cupboards in the house. Seeing Yuanyang coming, Yunzhu quickly got up and wiped the seats. She was flattered and invited Yuanyang to sit on her. She also made rose tea with her own hands. And presented a stack of moon cakes and snacks.

"Why are you cleaning up here alone?" Yuanyang took a sip of tea and saw Yunzhu looking at her nose, nose and heart. She was obviously afraid of herself, so she chuckled first and took the initiative to break the ice.

"Returning to Sister Yuanyang, the second master went out to visit friends, and the sisters nearby were called by the housekeeper to clean up the new yard." Although I haven't decided where to live yet, there are some people who have already decided in the past.

Now is the time when the neat and tidy people are busy, so there are only two or three people left in Jiangyunxuan to look after the house, and everyone else has gone out. Yunzhu is telling the truth without hiding anything.

There is nothing to hide either.

"Are these going to be moved into the new garden?" Yuanyang looked around at the furnishings in the house. She was curious. These were all ordinary things. She had also visited the Grand View Garden, and everything in them was exquisite. No, where can I use these?

Yunzhu bent his eyes and smiled, feeling that Yuanyang was not as serious as usual, and hurriedly replied: "There is no need to move, but I am idle now. I will take care of it in one go, and the people who come to the warehouse to receive it will also be idle." Save yourself some trouble.”

It turned out to be like this, Yuanyang picked up a piece of moon cake and put it in his mouth with a smile, thinking that this little girl is really interesting, these girls who are more respectable in chores are ashamed to do it, let alone the things that are about to be unwanted.

Then he spoke more sincerely, "You are so kind, you are willing to go to the trouble of making mooncakes to eat during this Chinese New Year. The taste is also fresh, is it apple-flavored?"

After taking a bite of the snack, Yuanyang placed a brocade box on the table and said briskly with a smile as bright as a flower: "This is what the old lady gave you as a reward. Do you know why? It's common for ladies and grandmothers to be so busy and forget, but... Your contribution is real. Baoyu has just helped the regular prison. If that villain gets involved and damages his reputation, let alone Chunwei, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Qiuwei to catch up. You should be rewarded."

Yunzhu was so happy that she pretended to refuse a few words and happily took the brocade box.She also said a lot of nice things, saying that this was what she should do, and if there was a next time, she would still do whatever it took to do so.

It's quite interesting to say such a routine scene from a little girl's mouth. Yuanyang laughed a lot after being amused, and then said: "The old lady said that you are safe and honest, and it is true. This snack is well made. If you give it to me, then I will take it away?”

The mooncakes with winter melon and apple fillings taste sour and sweet, which is very suitable for girls.

"It's a joke, sister, the tea and snacks here are not exquisite." Yunzhu lowered his head, picked up a few more blueberry-flavored bags from the snack box, and handed them to Yuanyang.

Then he said: "This is Liu Ji's snack in the city. That person is my brother-in-law. This is the new product we have come up with. When the variety of fruits becomes more abundant in summer, we can make many other flavors. Then I will invite Yuanyang Sister, taste it.”

As she spoke, she sent Yuanyang out, successfully selling Zhao San and his wife. When she said goodbye, she added: "I will go to thank the old lady in the evening. Thank you also to Sister Yuanyang for coming to give me such a good thing." .”

Although I still don’t know what’s in the box, it’s always right to flatter me first.

Seeing the little girl going to the court like this, Yuanyang felt worried. He just thought of the old lady's increasingly sleepy body and couldn't help but smile and said softly: "There is nothing to thank you for. As long as you serve Baoyu well, it will be your sincere repayment to the old lady." ”

"That's fine, just listen to Sister Yuanyang." With that said, Yunzhu ignored the girl who was talking in the distance, and gave Yuanyang a blessing very intimately, and watched her go away with a smile.

The friendship between the eldest maid and the eldest maid must be pursued when it is time to do so.

As soon as the mandarin ducks left, the sun began to rise outside. In winter, no matter how bright the sun was, it was not too hot, but rather warm.Huixiang and the others came back from the Grand View Garden to have lunch. Yunzhu didn't even bother to look at the things the old lady had given her, and simply threw them in the space before following them to the canteen.

On the surface, it was said that there was no need to thank the old lady, but everyone knew that Yunzhu had received the reward, so she got off the road and butted her head at the door of the old lady's yard in front of everyone, and the matter was finally over. up.

There are many people in Jiangyunxuan, so work can be done quickly. It is said that they moved into Grand View Garden on February 22, but in fact it was the masters who moved in on that day.

All the belongings nearby have been taken care of in advance.

"No, I ate it at the old lady's place."

"You can do whatever you want, move the study there first."

"Alright, I'll ask Sister Lin, she has the largest collection of books and needs to be taken care of carefully."

When Jia Baoyu came back from outside, there were maids all the way asking attentively if he wanted to have a meal, if he wanted to drink tea, and how and when to move such and such things.As soon as he heard Sister Lin, Baoyu turned around and ran to the Bisha cupboard before he even moved into the main room. He was really a busy man.

"Second Master Bao." Yunzhu moved on his feet, holding a tea tray in front of Baoyu, and said with a slight smile behind his back: "Sisters Sheyue just sent things out, so they asked me to wait here. Second Master is tired after going out, drink Have some tea."

As he spoke, he pushed the tea tray in his hand forward, and the maple dew tea for the third time was bright and fragrant, swaying in the delicate white porcelain cup, tempting people to serve it.

Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu brushed away the tea and laughed loudly: "Good girl, I am busy, I will drink it when I come back later."

Seeing Jia Baoyu's anger, Yunzhu gritted his teeth and asked, "If the second master goes to see Miss Lin, I'm afraid he will look inappropriate and make Miss Lin angry."

Hearing that Daiyu would be angry, Jia Baoyu froze immediately, looked at himself up and down, and thought that there was nothing wrong with his clothes, so he asked: "Why?"

With a 'click' sound, Yunzhu placed the tea tray neatly on the lintel of the stool in the corridor. He stomped into the room and brought out a palm-sized bronze mirror. When he faced Jia Baoyu, a man with red lips and white teeth appeared in the mirror. Handsome young man.

Her lips were too red, and she didn’t know where she had been messing around with friends, or which maid had rouged her, "Second Master, Miss Lin is the most decent person, look at yourself, you have to be professional. Are you going to make Miss Lin angry?"

Jia Baoyu was stunned, but felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. He drank a cup of hot tea, looked for the handkerchief on Yunzhu's body, wiped the rouge from his mouth, and hurriedly handed the tea plate to Yunzhu. , and said: "Is there anything wrong?"

inappropriate?

There are so many things that are wrong!
It was obvious that Baochai had said she wanted to move out years ago, but now that the Lantern Festival was over, Aunt Xue was holding her back.Aunt Xue continued to talk about ancient times with Mrs. Wang every day, and every now and then she would lead Baochai in front of the old lady. Baochai must have known the elders' intentions, so she simply didn't even come to Jia Muyuan, it was Daiyu. He took the little maid to the northeast courtyard to play with her.

Jia Baoyu was careless and followed Daiyu to her house from time to time to make mischief. Little did he know that the talk of gold and jade among the servants was already very popular!

Yunzhu hated that iron could not become steel. She suppressed the disgust in her heart and shook her head with a smile.

Between Xue and Lin, Yunzhu can't know who the family prefers more.She just saw Jia Baoyu clinging to Daiyu every day, going to the Bisha Cupboard to share anything that smelled good or smelly with Daiyu, and Daiyu happened to be willing to listen to his nagging.Thinking again of Baochai's charming and rosy face, Yunzhu shook her head. Not to mention that their families were comparable to those of Jia's family, but also the girls themselves, any one of them was worthy of Jia Baoyu's eight hundred visits. Damn it, it all depends on how the masters above play the game.

These scenes all fell into Xiaohong's eyes. She felt angry and complained to Yunzhu.The two of them entered the tea room together. Yunzhu washed the cups and handed some roasted and oily chestnuts to Xiao Hong. He whispered: "Both girls, Xue and Lin, are very outstanding. Baoyu is willing." If you play with Miss Lin, wouldn’t it be nice for Miss Lin to be the mistress in the future?”

"Where am I talking about this? We don't care about who Second Grandma Bao is." Xiao Hong hissed and laughed while peeling chestnuts.

"Then why are you saying those mean things?"

The smiling look was very touching, and Xiaohong's eyes were a little clearer.

Xiaohong is a son of the family, and her behavior is inevitably based on the Jia family's standpoint.

She felt that it was inappropriate for Baoyu to choose anyone, and there was no need to delay other girls.

But when it comes to marriage matters, it is Jia Baoyu who has the final say.Yunzhu couldn't help but tell her not to say such sarcastic and weird things. Now there are several informants in Jiangyunxuan. If the news spreads out, wouldn't it be a big deal?
"That's right!" Just as the two of them were holding their heads in relief, they heard laughter coming from outside the door.

The two subconsciously saw that Lin Zhixiao who was holding a stack of ledgers was Xiaohong's biological father.

Yunzhu stood up quickly, feeling very uneasy.Although this wealthy butler was dressed simply, he wore a fine jade medal on his waist, which showed his important position in the house.

"Dad?" Xiaohong went up to greet him and asked kindly: "Why are you here? Where is my mother?"

Lin Zhixiao's face showed a bit of helplessness, and he glared at Xiao Hong fondly. He ignored the chestnuts that Xiao Hong handed over, and instead asked Yunzhu: "Where is Qixie?"

"When we get back to the housekeeper, Sister Qi and the second master have gone to move books for Miss Lin." Yun Zhu was trembling in her heart. She didn't know if anything she said was inappropriate, and she didn't know who this housekeeper Lin was. She's not someone who cares about every dollar she spends. It's all because Xiaohong never mentioned her father.

Lin Zhixiao glanced at Yunzhu standing in the corner, thought about what she had just said, and then said seriously: "You are serving in the house, so watch your mouth! Don't talk about things that have nothing to do with you. thing."

He was dealing with Jia Yun due to accounts, Xiaohong was ten years old again, and the two families were vaguely thinking about getting engaged, so his face was particularly bright. Even when he scolded his daughter, there was inevitably a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

And because of Xiao Hong, he didn't particularly avoid Yunzhu and directly told the two of them his purpose.

"Second Grandma intends to be independent of the accounts of the Grand View Garden. Although the regulations have not been published yet, the rewards and punishments in the future must depend on the wishes of the master of the garden. The two of you must be more attentive in serving and doing things." Lin Zhixiao put the hand in his hand. Peeling the chestnuts, he handed them to Xiaohong and said hurriedly: "I'm not worried about Guan Yunzhu's actions, but you are! Learn from others more, you are still my sister, you have to be more stable!"

Yunzhu was filled with envy when he saw such a loving father's consideration and all his care. When he saw Xiaohong's wrinkled face, he couldn't help but say: "You really feel sorry for your daughter."

"Isn't a good child like me worth feeling sorry for?" Xiaohong looked very proud. Even though her father scolded her for not standing properly, it didn't stop her from hanging half of her body on Lin Zhixiao's arm.

Fearing that her own father would scold her playmate again, he added, "You praised Yunzhu's cleverness when you were eating mooncakes!" As if remembering something, Xiaohong jumped over and rubbed Yunzhu's hand, saying happily: " To tell you the truth, I have a pastry shop at home, and your mooncakes are very fresh. If you can sell them in Beijing, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

Yunzhu didn't dare to say anything. Although she was moved, she didn't know whether Xiaohong did it on a whim or on purpose.

But obviously, Lin Zhixiao was interested in this proposal.

"She's so naughty. How can I ask for this recipe? Don't listen to her nonsense." He pretended to pinch Xiaohong's ears, and said insinuatingly: "It's okay to speak freely at home, but if you go out and act like this, If your mother knows about it, she will give you a beating! If you really want a recipe, you can only sit down and discuss the price. How can you have such a reckless style?"

During this period, he did not forget to smile apologetically at Yunzhu.

Such people have several plans in mind at all times, and they don’t know how long they have been working on the recipe.With a faint smile on her lips, Yunzhu listened to the father and daughter singing in harmony.

"It's just a cake recipe. My brother-in-law's family is running the business now, so I'm afraid it won't be sold." Seeing the father and daughter's eyes darkening, Yunzhu said briskly: "But I know how to make this kind of cake." There are several types of dishes that have never been seen in the capital."

As he spoke, he described modern snacks such as custard mooncakes and tiramisu to the father and daughter, and even volunteered to make them for them to try. He never mentioned the recipe, but everything was positive.

Lin Zhixiao agreed, and when he had time to talk, he and Xiaohong went to play at home. The house was fully furnished. If anything was missing, he could tell him in advance. He looked very interested in Fangzi and was bound to win it, which made Yunzhu feel worried. disturbed.

After Butler Lin left, Yunzhu was in a daze in the tea room. How could he sell the prescription so easily?Why is she so clueless?

"Are you short of money?" Xiaohong walked in and asked directly.

"?"

"You have been back since the Lantern Festival. You are doing well during the day. You always count your silver before going to bed. One night, you talk in your sleep. What a thousand, three hundred taels."

Yunzhu smiled sarcastically, not knowing what expression to make. He just felt that his old background had been exposed, and he was a little embarrassed.

Xiaohong said: "I don't have much money on me. My mother helps me get the monthly payment. If you are short of money, I can help you from my father. My father is an old-fashioned man, so I want to borrow money from him." Money is certainly not easy, and after thinking about it, I decided that I could just sell it to my son and save the debt, which makes me feel uneasy."

Seeing Yunzhu's puzzled expression, Xiaohong added: "To tell you the truth, last year I bought a recipe for crispy cakes at home, which cost 400 taels, but the mooncakes I ate were not as good as those you made. "

Yunzhu seems to be a person who doesn't stand out or stand out, nor does he like to be jealous. In Jiangyunxuan, he just makes tea, sweeps the floor, reads and writes. It seems that he is in his own way and is very different from others. It is unknown what his future will be like.After being in contact for a long time, Xiaohong felt that it was not only a good place to invest, but also a good place to talk.

"You don't blame me, do you?" Xiaohong nervously told Yunzhu what she was thinking.

Yunzhu pondered for a long time after hearing this, and realized that he was not just here to plot against people.She looked at Xiaohong and felt sorry. Even for a moment, she had begun to blame herself for seeing the wrong person. The daughter of a big housekeeper like Xiaohong had been influenced by her ears and eyes since she was a child, and her deep scheming was nothing...

Now it seems that my thoughts are really too dark.

Yunzhu's heart was filled with confusion and self-blame. After a moment, she patted Xiaohong's hand and said with a warm and grateful look, "Thank you, I have a few more recipes. Do you want them from your pastry shop?"
