Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

This flamboyant wealthy aunt obviously had a smile on her face, looking at her beautiful eyes, and her movements were artificially quiet.

The look he looked at Yunzhu also contained undeniable disgust.

Such a hostile gaze made Yunzhu feel confused.Trying to think about it, since I entered the Rongguo Mansion, let alone doing anything bad in front of this person, even if I have met him, there are only a handful of them!
Whether it was in front of the old lady or in Jia Baoyu's courtyard, she had never interacted with Aunt Zhao. Even if she did meet her, would she not be respectful to her?

The two of them moved their left foot and the right foot. The boss reluctantly went to the yard, leaned down from a distance, and said, "Auntie is fine. Is there something wrong with my auntie?"

They are all aunts, and Aunt Qiutong, who is under Second Mistress, is not as honorable as this one...

"Oh, I'm looking for you." Aunt Zhao turned around and smiled, talking about you, but her eyes fell directly on Yunzhu, and she took a few steps forward with a bit of worldly innocence, trying to catch her. hand.

Seeing Yunzhu retreating slightly, Aunt Zhao curled her lips and smiled, looking at Yunzhu nonchalantly, and said: "She is so well-behaved, polite and beautiful, no wonder the master never forgets her."

The two of them were confused, and then they heard her say: "Baoyu hasn't woken up yet? Hey, my wife doesn't allow us to get close to this precious baby, so I won't go in."

As he spoke, he asked the little magpie behind him to hand over a mahogany box, "This is the wild ginseng that the master specially sent back from the northern belt. This 300-year-old good thing is both life-saving and useful."

The master and the servant were like peacocks, one competing with the other in a show of beauty. This inexplicable operation dumbfounded both Yunzhu.

The hostility just now seemed to be a cloud of smoke, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.Yunzhu was thinking about something, but Aunt Zhao put the matter aside.

"I still think of myself as a piece of silver. I'm loved by everyone, but that's nothing more than that." Aunt Zhao muttered.

Xiaoque followed behind, thought for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "Why did Auntie give away the ginseng? It was obviously given to you by the master alone."

"What do you know? The old lady in charge wants to use ginseng. Our wives are in charge of the house and are still pushing back. If the Xue family hadn't sent it immediately, I don't know where to look for it!"

"Then since it's going to be a gift, why don't we give it to the old lady, but to Baoyu?" Xiao Que was young and was about the same age as Yunzhu when she was innocent. She was just thinking about this medicine. Wouldn't it be more useful to give it to the old lady than to give it to Baoyu?
After all, Baoyu was separated from them by a layer. If she were to give Baoyu as a gift, it would be better to stew it for Mr. Huan to eat.

Aunt Zhao remained silent, glanced at the little magpie, and then went back to the yard. Isn't it true that some people can eat 300-year-old ginseng if they want?

Yunzhu thought about it, but she still felt that she didn't need to take this matter seriously. Anyway, she was not an errand in Jia Zheng's yard. She was an aunt. Even if she really didn't like herself, could she make a special trip to deal with her?

She is a maid in the old lady's room, and she works as a maid next to Baoyu. If Aunt Zhao dares to come and cause trouble in front of her, she will slap the old lady and Baoyu in the face!

In the old, hierarchical society, maids were objects, but concubines were not?No one is better than anyone else.

Although Xiaohong was a bit heartless, she was the daughter trained by the housekeeper after all. Thinking of Jia Zheng and Jia Huan behind Aunt Zhao, she couldn't help but worry and said: "You have to be careful, Aunt Zhao is the master's favorite." A beloved concubine with sons and daughters at her knees..."

"Don't be afraid of her. Mr. Huan has never been liked by the old lady. If he really wants to trouble Baoyu, Mrs. Wang can deal with it first." After hearing this, Yunzhu began to comfort Xiaohong, "Baoyu fell asleep. That scabby monk is really weird. He said he wants to sleep for 33 days. Should we send this ginseng to my wife for disposal?"

"It's okay to let the old lady deal with it." Xiaohong said thoughtfully.

There are three people in Rongguo Mansion, and Jia She's family does nothing all year round.Jia Lian is a junior, but Jia Zheng, the second son, is more noble and decent.

But speaking of Jia Huan, although Jia Zheng has such a pampered father, he was born to a concubine. Although the old lady is gentle and loving to her children and grandchildren, Jia Huan has always been inconspicuous in the house and is still young. After asking Mrs. Wang to discuss it a few times, she just lived an honest life with her tail between her legs.

It was also because of his poor background that Aunt Zhao did a lot of planning for him. She had taken a lot of things from Jia Zheng here and there over the years, which made Mrs. Wang hate her as much as anything.

"Madam, the servants in Baoyu's room asked to see you. They said that Aunt Zhao sent something and they didn't know what to do with it." Yuchai received the gift box and sent it to Mrs. Wang. Yunzhu stood in the corridor obediently, waiting. Follow the instructions.

Mrs. Wang called her to her, and she felt more and more that it was right to ask such a little girl to serve Baoyu, who was honest and loyal, but she still deliberately asked: "Why do you want to take a detour and send her to me? What about the old lady?" Isn’t it closer?”

"Replying to my wife, Mr. Bao often said that saints rule the world with filial piety. Both the master and his wife are benevolent and filial people. Now that the old lady is unhappy, the servants dare not bother her." Yunzhu pursed her lips and pointed her eyes at that person. Seeing Mrs. Wang asking the jade bracelet to open the brocade box, she continued: "Second Master Bao is recovering from illness now, so everyone is more careful about food. They don't dare to accept it privately, so we have to ask my wife to make the decision."

Yunzhu was not a eloquent person, and this explanation made Mrs. Wang even more impressed. Her smile became more compassionate and she said gently: "It's hard for you to be so considerate."

"Ma'am, thank you." Yunzhu held his breath and lowered his head pretending to be shy. After a while, his ears and cheeks turned red, as if he was overwhelmed by the praise.

Sure enough, after looking at the wild ginseng, Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, looked behind the curtain as if nothing had happened, and said disgustedly: "She is quite cheerful and generous."

Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief quietly. Although the old lady didn't like Aunt Zhao, she would not interfere in the affairs of her son's wives and concubines. This trap could only be considered successful if it was dug in front of Mrs. Wang's eyes.

"Go ahead and serve Baoyu happily. You will not suffer any loss."

"Yes."

Mrs. Wang glanced at Zhou Rui's family, and Zhou Rui picked up a purse with a smile and handed it to the jade bracelet, "You take it to her."

Seeing Yuchai and Yunzhu walking out of their house, Zhou Rui's family said: "He is a cautious and peaceful person, and he knows how to hug your thigh."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was silent, she sighed and said, "It's a pity, I just asked her a few words and she started to hold a grudge."

"I know it's rare for Chicheng to know how to judge the situation, but it's a pity that he is too young." Mrs. Wang paused and realized what she had said, "Go and call the third girl over. I have something to tell her."

As soon as Tanchun entered the house, she saw her younger brother Jia Huan holding a pen and copying scriptures under the window. She didn't even look at her sideways until she came to Mrs. Wang. She first reported the accounts of the past few days in a familiar manner, and then said : "There is something that my daughter cannot decide, and my wife still needs to decide."

Mrs. Wang laughed and praised Tan Chun again before saying, "Let's listen."

"Madam, there is a female envoy named Xiren in brother Xian Toubao's room."

Tan Chun's face was indifferent, he caught a glimpse of Mrs. Wang's calm state, and continued after careful consideration: "People like us don't like to take advantage of others. This attacker is now working for sister Xiangyun, but he is I appropriated the monthly amount of money from the old lady's room, and here you are... She came in with a letter a few days ago to report her mother's death. In what proportion should the daughter be given this pension money?"

Mrs. Wang has never lived a good life for a few days after marrying Jia Zheng.

When she was young, she was worried about her beauty getting old, about her husband taking concubines, when she was not pregnant, she was worried about not being able to stand in front of the old lady, and when she became pregnant, she was worried about whether she would have a son or a daughter... She has been busy for decades, and these things have never happened to her. Didn't stop him either.But this didn't stop her from feeling sympathy for others.

"After all, you have served the old lady. What did the old lady say?"

"The old lady said, let me deal with it." Tan Chun suppressed the sourness in his heart. As a woman, she was determined to win a glory for Xiren, so she should treat it as a memorial ceremony for her family, so as not to fall into the trap of Rongguo Mansion. face.

But then I thought about it, Xiren was only 17 years old. If this memorial ceremony was offered, it would inevitably fall short of what others said.After all, she is the Duke of Houfu. Where is the precedent of throwing her aunt out to fend for herself?
This made her very unsure, so she had to ask her wife for help.

Upon hearing that Xiren was now with Shi Xiangyun, Mrs. Wang felt a little disgusted.

The old lady's maiden name was Shi, and Xiangyun was the old lady's grandnephew, but she just took Xiren over. What is this called?Sure enough, the whole family was on the same page, and they all looked down upon her, a serious daughter-in-law.

Seeing Tan Chun's watery eyes staring at her, Mrs. Wang pushed a plate of dried fruits up, rubbed the rosary beads in her hand and said: "It is indeed difficult to serve a person. My son, I can't help but think that you are willing to take care of your precious brother." , don’t make him lose his reputation. Since it’s just for reputation, I can’t bring it to the table. So, let’s follow the maid’s example, and the rest depends on what the old lady thinks about it.”

With that said, he threw the burden on the old lady's head again.

Tanchun was puzzled. She especially remembered that her wife also liked Xiren very much back then. She wondered why she hated Xiren so much now.

"Okay." Tanchun responded perfunctorily.

Seeing that she had no intention of persisting, Mrs. Wang smiled.

He didn't say anything more about the attack, and just told Tanchun: "If you take care of that matter, don't ask the people below to cause trouble in the Grand View Garden."

Everyone can't hear this. Now the Second Grandma refuses to take care of things. Whenever Mrs. Wang finds Sister Feng, she always says, "I have a headache. I don't know how. I'll go home and ask Second Master Lian what he wants." Even though Mr. Lian was very anxious, she still went her own way.

This also led Tanchun to believe that Wang Xifeng had given her the job of housekeeper on purpose, so she decided to comfort her sister-in-law who had just died.

"You might as well ask the second sister-in-law for her opinion." Tanchun patted the waiter's hand, and the master and servant went to Sister Feng's yard together.

When Ping'er saw him, he welcomed Tanchun in neatly and put a bunch of snacks in the waiter's hand, "Take all the newly made chestnut cakes and eat them."

Ping'er, always smiling and kind, said to Tanchun: "It's a coincidence that the third girl is here. My grandma is taking a nap. Please invite the third girl to her room."

Wang Xifeng's eyebrows were lightly swept, her temples were slightly loosened, and she sat there crookedly playing with the ashes. Even her sick appearance had a certain charm to it.

"It's so easy to come here to see my sister-in-law. It shows that the two of us have a tacit understanding. You were awake when I came." Tanchun pursed his lips and smiled, not wanting to be overly cheerful, and carefully taking care of the mood of the second sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng responded cheerfully, "What are you talking about? You came to find me and it's too late for me to be happy. If nothing happens and your second brother is not around, why don't you stay and have dinner with me?"

With that said, he sent Ping'er to the kitchen to ask if she could have the chicken, matsutake mushrooms for dinner.

"Okay." Tanchun knew he couldn't refuse, so he simply agreed.There happens to be something I want to hear from this sister-in-law.

Wang Xifeng felt happy again when she saw her being submissive. These days, she often felt sad and happy, that is, when she sat with someone she liked, her heart felt a little more at ease.

The flower bed in the backyard was covered with curtains, and several pots of vibrant trellis begonias were in full bloom. The two of them were sitting between the curtains, looking at the spring with a light expression. They carried a pot and poured tea for Sister Feng, "Second sister-in-law, this Lin Zhixiao Do you know that my two aunts gathered together to gamble?"

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows. If Mrs. Wang asked like this, she would immediately complain that she had a headache. But looking at Tanchun who was seeking knowledge, she sighed and shook her head, "In the past, I had too many responsibilities, and I was too busy to touch the ground." Yes, that’s why this kid got tired of me and even came here, but still left.”

"Don't you know, second sister-in-law, that it was the negligence of Butler Lin's sister-in-law that allowed people to take advantage of it and put those disgusting objects on the road that you often come and go, and asked you to step on it, then... Tan Chun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, not wanting to see Sister Feng in such a dejected state.

She missed her decisive sister-in-law very much.

"I used the in-laws and old friends of these people. I know all their origins." Wang Xifeng looked wistful. "Not only that, I also know that Brother Bao has found a woman who knows the art of witchcraft to nurse Lin Yatou."

"Baochai is now hooked up with Prince Beijing. I'm afraid it won't be long before my wife hears the news she least wants to hear."

"In your job of contracting the Grand View Garden, Lin Zhixiao sent four or five people in just to take down all the ponds to raise pearl clams."

"It's Brother Bao... so what? Could it be that these evil ways can harm my son and even want to take it away from me?"

"Then just take it away."

When Wang Xifeng said this, her cheeks flushed with slight excitement, and after a moment she covered her mouth and coughed.

Ping'er, who was waiting on the side, opened his eyes wide and hurriedly stepped forward to hand him some water and patted his back. He couldn't help but asked with concern: "Grandma, let's go back to the room?"

Wang Xifeng opened her watery eyes, nodded, and said to Tanchun: "Third girl, sincerely call me sister-in-law, and I will tell you, don't make wedding clothes for others."

"To answer Third Miss, my grandma has never said anything about these things. If you think it is useful, then you can choose it yourself. I used to think that the whole family had broken bones and connected tendons, but I didn't expect..."

Ping'er wanted to defend his grandma, but when he saw Wang Xifeng's stern eyes, he hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "I made a mistake, please punish me."

But she didn't release any strength from her hands, for fear that Wang Xifeng would be blown down by the wind without her support.

Wang Xifeng took two steps, then turned around and waved to Tanchun, reassuringly saying: "I don't care who you want to plan for. We are all women. This inner house is a battlefield."

Tanchun's color suddenly changed.

She used to think that Wang Xifeng was quick-tongued and sharp-tongued, but her words were reasonable. What happened now?
