Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

It’s best to have good faith among servants.

After all, the matter of Second Mistress Lian's premature birth was just an insignificant gossip to most people, and mixed with the quarrels between Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, the drama of this matter reached an unprecedented height.

The maids and women were whispering to each other and running around telling each other. Even though Yunzhu was in Yihongyuan, she had the illusion of actually seeing the scene. With the series of changes, it could be said that she didn't lose even a single heat.

Just a second ago, he was saying that the old lady was so angry that she fell on her back, Jia Zheng was released, and most of the backbone of the family fell. Mrs. Xing was about to taste the sweetness before her eyes.

But the next second, Mrs. Wang defeated the enemy with one move. She did not go to the old lady to explain it at all. She only said that there was something fishy in this matter. When it is proven innocent, you evil-minded people will be able to understand!

When the new news came again, it was Mrs. Wang who came to the Grand View Garden with her companions.Before the woman finished speaking, someone heard Xue Yan shouting in front of the moon cave door: "The second wife is here!"

Mrs. Wang is most annoyed by beautiful and charming people.

After everyone heard this, the girls who had put on rouge and changed into skirts all retreated in all directions. When they reappeared, they all looked plain and simple, wearing tight clothes.

What does Jia Lian say about Brother Rui? Why does Mrs. Wang care?She went straight to Yihong Courtyard, looked up and down at the girl and woman who came to greet her, and made sure that there was no such person among them, and then Shi Shiran sat down.

Baoyu stood aside with his head lowered. He wanted to ask what he was doing several times, but was coaxed back by Zhou Rui's family. He was so picky and picky that even his own mother felt eyesore, let alone Yunzhu.

Now that Sister Feng is away, Mrs. Wang feels that she is not strong enough as a director. Just when she started to have an attack out of nowhere, she sees someone from Wang Shanbao's family come in to announce that Mrs. Xing is here.

"She came at just the right time. She's hot everywhere." Mrs. Wang just finished her words here, but Mrs. Xing's color changed suddenly.

As we all know, the eldest wife has always been unconventional, and now she is too lazy to be polite. She strode up and pointed at Mrs. Wang and cursed: "What evil did I do in my previous life! Being a sister-in-law with a poisonous woman like you, who has a heart like a snake and a scorpion? It's just unkind and unfilial, but you poisoned my nephews and grandchildren! If it weren't for a wicked woman like you, how could my son have worked so hard, and now... he's exhausted!"

Mrs. Wang was so angry that her nostrils were turned upward, she was breathing heavily, she clasped her hands together and frowned tightly and said, "Amitabha! Fortunately, Brother Feng is also my biological niece! I didn't bother to bother you, my mother-in-law, who is a backer."

Then he said to Zhou Rui's house: "Go, today's purchase should have been completed long ago. First, close the four doors, and wait until I get back to the old lady, and then deal with it." Finally, he shouted to everyone: "Go! Stand here, I If you don't look at your timid appearance, who allows you to be lazy like this?"

Everyone was shocked when they saw this. Most of them were trembling with fear but confused. Should they go to work or wait elsewhere?Mrs.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's angry look, and because the Zhou Rui family had a good relationship with her, Qixie smiled and said, "Madam, today's errands are almost done. How about telling them to go back to their bedrooms and wait for the summons?"

Mrs. Wang said: "That's the way it is. Whether you are innocent or not, you can see the truth in two hours." Then she asked the chattering Mrs. Xing: "I'm here to find the root of my niece's illness. What are you doing here?"

"Hmph! I can't trust you. I'm here to find the root cause of my daughter-in-law's illness!"

Mrs. Wang smiled sympathetically, covered her expression with a teacup, and asked sideways how long it would take for the Taoist wife of Zhou Rui's family to arrive. She didn't blame others. Ever since the first Baoyu was killed by a curse, Mrs. Wang had been suspicious day and night. She was always suspicious. I feel that there are only things in this house that can hinder me, which makes the Jia family house restless.

Yuanchun favored her, and the Jia family was supposed to be prosperous, but now that things have happened, they have even arranged a visit to the relatives. Not to mention that the mother's family has not benefited much, but even her own family has been in constant turmoil.

What's worse now is that Feng Yatou is doing well, but unexpectedly she was born prematurely.She had also been a mother three times. She could tell at a glance how happy and long her child was. Thinking of this, she put down the teacup and silently recited Amitabha.

Mrs. Xing was afraid of being violently expelled, so she sent the little girl back to ask Jia She. She only told him to come quickly because something had changed.

Jia Zheng was now thousands of miles away. Jia She's eyes flickered and he said to the boy, "Let's go and invite the old lady."

The old lady was now in her seventies, and she could be considered an octogenarian. Now that Jia She was making such a fuss, she thought there was a chaos in the house. She immediately broke out in a cold sweat, leaning on a cane regardless of the darkness. The mother-in-law and maids had to stand in front of each other. He accompanied me to the Grand View Garden.

"Old lady, please slow down, let the people carry the sedan over, so as not to delay the journey." Yuanyang was filled with hatred, but he couldn't help it, so he only supported her and coaxed her, and winked at the others.

That Jia Rui was neither good at literature nor martial arts, and he had no father or mother. Even if he had real grievances, no one cared about it. Therefore, everyone seemed to have not heard about the retribution. They all carried their own concerns in their hearts and went to the Grand View Garden one after another. .

As for why they all go to the Grand View Garden, Mrs. Gein Wang said a few days ago: On the day of the imperial concubine's wedding ceremony, Taoist Zhang personally prophesied that the new garden in the house was dirty and was suspected of hindering the owner.

"What are we going to do about such a big battle?" Xiao Hong was worried. She returned to the house and sat back to back with Yunzhu in their respective rooms, talking quietly against a partition wall.

"My second grandma was born prematurely. She said she was hit by something. Maybe she needs to be searched." As soon as the search was mentioned, Yunzhu stood up quickly, not caring about listening to Xiaohong anymore, and hurriedly lit a candle and touched the foot of the bed.

The wooden bed has many dead spots for hygiene. I have only lived here for less than half a month, and there is another layer of floating dust under the bed. I simply wet a cloth towel, make a way for myself, and reach under the bed to find it.

But after searching under the bed for a week and seeing nothing, Yunzhu couldn't help but feel fear and fell down in front of the bed, thinking that she must have asked Mrs. Hu to take it away.

She wiped off the cold sweat, stood up and looked around the courtyard at the crack of the window, seeing no one around.She began to draw a map in her mind. It was very close to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion through the Moon Cave Gate, and cinnabar was extremely taboo in the inner courtyard. She wanted to ask Mrs. Hu what it was, otherwise how could she rest assured?

The wooden door creaked, and as soon as Yunzhu's skirt was lifted up, the woman on the corner door shouted: "Don't go out! Stay indoors!"

Yunzhu's hair stood on end at this startled shout, and he hurriedly slammed the door shut.I smiled bitterly in my heart, this is a good thing, if Mrs. Hu makes a mistake, it will really be a disaster.

"Where do you want to go?" Xiaohong leaned against the wall and asked her muffledly, her voice passing through the wall filled with confusion.

Now Yunzhu was frightened and anxious. He sat down on the bamboo couch, took out a pot of plum dew from the space, drank several sips, coughed several times and said: "I want to drink water, I'm very stuffy."

The two of them were chatting, talking about this and that.

When a woman broke in through the door, Yunzhu suddenly slid down from the couch and asked, "Mommy, what's going on today? What are you looking for? Can we help?"

The nun smiled, and just as Dao Po looked at the direction, she was going to search for dirt in the southeast. Is there anything wrong with you here?The girl next to Baoyu is as cute as Yuxue. She quietly pulls you and says she wants to help you. Who can not be soft-hearted?
But the next second, the nanny turned sideways and saw Zhou Rui's family outside the door. She suddenly coughed and said in a cold voice: "Don't hinder us from doing things! Stay aside!"

With a wave of his hand, the girls behind him filed forward. Everything valuable in the Yunzhu House was placed in the space. Everyone rummaged through it, but it was just some daily clothes and two pieces of jewelry. They were so shabby that they didn't even have any extra money. Fangguan's pink money bag came out, and spread out was a pitiful one tael of silver.

The grandma had a look of sympathy on her face. No one expected that such a decent second-class girl only had one tael of silver.

After unpacking and emptying the cage, I only had three or four changes of clothes, half of which were thick and half of which were thin. I picked out bellybands of different sizes and weird-shaped underwear, and they were all made of excellent silk and satin cloth. .Zhou Rui's family came forward to look at it, and they thought it was a handle, but they thought that Yunzhu was Baoyu's girl, so they invited some women to come over for inspection and asked, "What are these things used for?"

The underwear was specially woven with lotus-colored lace and inlaid with it. It was a birthday gift for Qingwen next month. Now she asked several women to pass it around in turn. Yunzhu turned red with embarrassment and said with a forced smile: "That's right. It’s a woman’s bellyband. As women, we run around every day, so there’s no buffer, and it’s really annoying.”

As he said that, he took the underwear over, made a few gestures on his chest, and took it apart for everyone to see. It was confirmed that it was just a few layers of fabric. Except for the weird shape, there was really nothing wrong with it.

The Zhou Rui family felt at ease, but they did not forget to ask: "How to make so many sizes?"

"As girls, we don't have much, so we can only lend a pair of hands to do some thoughtful things for our sisters."

The sister Yunzhu is talking about is naturally the high-ranking maids in Jia Mu's courtyard.As soon as everyone saw that the maids were all wearing such weird bellybands, the clever and skillful needleworker took note of the style on the spot, and the underwear trend started in this dynasty.

Afterwards, I rummaged through the brocade boxes sent by the noble master, and saw that they were all porcelain, ornaments, cloth, etc. that were of no use, and then I went out in a hurry to go to the next house.

Yunzhu let out a long sigh and went to clean up the mess in the house. She first put Fangguan's money bag back under the bluestone, and then folded her clothes.The nun guarding the door was still as stern as not to go out, and drove the probing maids back into the house. She had no choice but to twist up her needle and thread, and use the candlelight to carefully sew the disassembled underwear back together.

It is said that misfortune never comes alone. The maids and women in the Grand View Garden were searching the southeast direction, eager to dig out something. Several people and horses competed with each other, fearing that the other party would cover up the truth and follow closely.

Just when they arrived at the entrance of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, they heard that the second mistress’s new son had passed away.

After hearing the report, the old lady came up to Zhou Rui's family, holding a red paper doll that was so wet that the writing could not be seen on a tray. She did not forget to say that it was found near Qinfang Bridge.

The Grand View Garden is backed by mountains and connected by mountains and rivers. A stream of running water flows from under the north corner wall, which flows continuously day and night. The Xiaoxiang Pavilion is upstream of Qinfang Bridge. Everyone knows what this means.

"No!" The old lady shouted sternly, with anger in her brows and eyes. She turned around and stared at Mrs. Wang, asking: "You... what are you going to do to my Yu'er!"

Before finishing the sentence, Jia Mu felt that her whole body was weak and her steps were shaky. Yuanyang's eyes were fixed on the old lady, and her heart suddenly felt like it was boiling with oil. She stepped forward to help her, and the next second she exclaimed: "Old lady!"

How has this old lady, who has always been pampered and pampered, been attacked like this?The restlessness at home made her feel ashamed and resentful.

Now the treasure in her heart was so humiliated. At that moment, her little daughter's face flashed before her eyes, and overlapped with Daiyu's figure, causing a surge of suffocation to rush to the sky.

He opened his mouth, but before the words came out, he saw bright red dots rolling down his clothes, and a mouthful of blood fell to the ground, like late plum blossoms blooming, showing the desolation of the end of winter.

"old lady!"

"Ancestor!"

Jia's mother vomited blood, and everyone was stunned with shock. When they saw the mandarin ducks pulling hard, they came to their senses and started to help them. Jia She immediately cried out: "My mother! What's wrong with you? If you have a Anyway, how can I live?"

For a moment, there were sounds of crying and running, and the doctor was almost carried to the old lady by the servants.Aunt Xue came with her little maid. Seeing this appearance, she also knew that something serious had happened, so she hurriedly stepped forward and sent the old lady into the room.

Aunt Xue said to Mrs. Wang, "Have you asked the imperial doctor?" Then she took off her belt and asked Xiangling to go find Xue Pan to ask for the imperial doctor.

Mrs. Wang held back her tears and only said that she had ordered her servant to take Jia Zheng's name sticker and go to the Imperial Hospital. Then she asked, "Where is Baochai?"

"She's used to being lazy. She said she's at home because she's afraid of disturbing the discussion."

"Tell her to come quickly, I have something important to tell her."

Aunt Xue coaxed and lied, but Baochai refused.We even advised our mother not to meddle in other people's business. Since the old lady was ill, we happened to have two ginseng sticks, so we sent them both as a token of appreciation.

If you want to express condolences, since the house will be tidied up tomorrow, it is only reasonable for us as guests to come forward. What should we do now to cause trouble?
"I'm not going." Baochai took off her hairpin and made a show of going to bed.

"Your aunt called you, something must have happened. My dear, can you go and have a look?" Aunt Xue said, wiping her tears again: "I am homeless now. Fortunately, your aunt protects me and I have a roof over my head." So, save me from being homeless."

For Baochai, the love card is not as powerful as scratching an itch.

Seeing that Baochai was motionless, Aunt Xue was calculating quickly in her mind. After a while, her heart suddenly turned upside down and she said with a stern face: "You should fulfill your filial piety for your mother and go on this journey for me. Help your aunt. I will clean up tomorrow." That’s all right, move to Jingyuan with your brother and sister!”

"Seriously?" Regarding the moving matter, her mother refused to move. Baochai tried her best to talk, but she didn't let go. Now that she finally got the right words, she was also thinking about what Mrs. Wang wanted to find her, so she relaxed. point.

"Really!"

Mrs. Wang was crying in the room. When she saw Baochai coming, she hurriedly pulled her away. She opened her tearful eyes and said, "Bao girl, you also know how many people there are in our family. Baoyu is indifferent. Brother Feng is now I have encountered another great calamity, and your eldest sister has entered the palace again. In this state, who else do you think I can rely on?"

After saying that, he buried his head in Baochai's arms and cried loudly.

"Madam, you should be more attentive. The old lady is ill, and she still needs to take charge of the overall situation..." Baochai persuaded blankly, looking around, feeling that he had no place for his own use, and he didn't know what he was looking for her to do. .

Fortunately, after today, she no longer has to worry about these things. She can just endure it and endure it.

Although Mrs. Wang was crying, her ears were listening from all directions. When she saw everyone gathered, she stopped crying and didn't even ask what Baochai meant. She directly took the housekeeper's cards from Zhou Rui's hand and said bluntly: "I My son, these are troubled times, I just ask you to be a little considerate of me and help me take care of some household chores in advance, I will be satisfied even if I go to Abi Hell immediately!"

When Mrs. Dear, are you crazy? I don’t agree!"

Seeing the loss of power, Jia She immediately shouted: "Brother Zheng is not at home, and I don't agree with it either!"

Baochai laughed sarcastically and declined again and again. Her heart was so stormy that she wished she could take off with wings.

Looking at the confused Jia Baoyu again, who would want to agree!What a mess!
