Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

To make shredded bamboo shoots with red oil, chopping them was a troublesome task, but the maids in the kitchen were not very good at it, so they had to peel the bamboo shoots and send the tips to the Lin family, along with a labor fee, and asked the Lin family's cook to do it for them.

"Just wait, I will tell you to eat some hoof flowers before you go on duty tomorrow!" Yunzhu patted her chest to confirm, because there were only two people left in the kitchen, and the cooks were all busy in the yard. It seemed like It seems like a natural place for gossip has been created.

Xiaohong mysteriously changed her clothes, let the girl who was lighting the fire go out, sat down in front of the stove, and whispered: "By the way, Second Miss... do you know what happened with the Sun family?"

The Lin family is not like the Jia family. The Lin family has a simple population, and the elder brother is at Zhuangzi all the year round. He has few servants, so no one can just appear out of nowhere to follow him.So upon hearing this, Yunzhu hurriedly closed the lid of the pot, cringingly picked up a piece of wild fruit wrapped in lotus leaves and approached, "Who? Sun Shao's group?"

Yingchun's official partner is none other than Sun Shao, but he is not a good person.

The Sun family is in dire straits again. I don’t know what the Jia family is thinking. Isn’t this pushing people into a pit of fire?
"Exactly."

"I heard that it was because the second girl was introverted and could not go to those high-profile houses, for fear of being criticized by others, so I tried my best to find the Sun family. Now the second girl is satisfied and stays in the house every day. Embroidering the dowry, and even having less contact with Baoyu."

Seeing Yunzhu stunned, Xiaohong grabbed a handful of fruit and threw it into his mouth, saying vaguely: "It was the girl from Zilingzhou who spread the news about this. Do you think she is dissatisfied with Mrs. Xing for finding a husband for the second girl first?" ? Logically speaking, how can this stepdaughter be as affectionate as her niece?"

Xing Xiuyan lives in Zilingzhou. Perhaps his family is not well off. He spends nine and a half days out of ten making clothes in the yard and rarely comes out to play with the girls.However, even though he made clothes every day, he always wore old clothes, which must have been given away and sold.

"This... doesn't look like it. I heard that the Sun family has a bright future, but their descendants have been ruined. Now that they have climbed into our house, they will definitely not ask a cousin who is out of reach to come back."

The Sun family and Mrs. Xing were planning carefully. The former hoped to get involved with Yingchun and seek an official position in the Jia family; the latter wanted to make profits from it... Seeing Xiao Hong stretch out a palm to touch Yunzhu His eyes were shaking, "What's wrong?"

Yunzhu asked.

"My father said that the Sun family took advantage of the festival to send 5000 taels of silver in."

"Oh my god, is this selling my daughter?" A series of news made Yunzhu confused. She remembered this sentence in a daze, and after blurting it out, she quickly added: "It's impossible, with such a portal."

Xiaohong was also surprised and said: "I don't think it's possible either. Where did this happen? What do you think the chiming clock in the second mistress's yard is worth?"

"At least this amount should be doubled ten times!" Yunzhu stretched out his hand and made a gesture on the basis of 5000 taels.

"Look, don't you know the goods?" Xiaohong laughed at her and said proudly: "My dad said that's millions!"

"!!!"

Talk about money hurt feelings.

For those who don’t know the inside story, the wedding in Yingchun is naturally very good. They are slaves and maids, and they just say a few words behind their backs. When they get to the sedan chair, they will help their masters cry again. , that means you have done your duty.

Besides, there’s no need to worry about it being too early. What if Sun Shao’s group isn’t that kind of person?

Seeing the boiling pot and the continuous white mist, Yunzhu changed the topic and suggested: "When I came here, I passed by the sewing room and said that Qingwen went to visit the shop today and the two pig's trotters need some heat before they become soft. I just left one for your family, and how about we take the remaining one to Qingzhen to eat tomorrow morning? There happens to be a newly opened dried meat shop there, and I want to eat dried meat. After buying the dried meat, I will go directly back home. "

There were no pressure cookers at this time, so stews relied on constant firewood.Yunzhu drooled and soaked the kidney beans aside. She did not forget to ask the cook to put them in the pot and stew them with the pig's trotters before going to bed.

"Okay, when will the shredded bamboo shoots be made? I want to eat shredded bamboo shoots. I already finished the last time I made them. I'm embarrassed to ask you..." Xiaohong rarely hesitated. Everyone is on the same level, no matter how old they are. There was a difference, but because of the private friendship between the two, Xiaohong was unwilling to act like he was on a mission.

"Ouch, I almost forgot about this. I will teach your cook how to make it soon. From now on, we don't have to cook it ourselves. When we want to eat it, we only need to prepare bamboo shoots~" Red oil bamboo shoots are also often made in Silong's house. It's just that the Jia family is obsessed with pursuing luxury and class.

Fat chicken and big duck are good, but using fat chicken and big duck to match everything will only harm everyone.

Xiaohong's eyes were bright and she was so happy that she smiled and said, "That's great. Your recipe tastes the best to me, and it's even better when I put it in a restaurant."

……

As for the attacker, Qingwen and two embroiderers were mixed into the back room of the shop, and they casually collapsed on the small bed. There was a lot of dust on her face and she was unconscious.

Qingwen was afraid that she would die on her own territory, so she waited until dawn to invite the doctor back.The doctor looked sleepy and nodded after reading: "It's a coincidence that this sweating has actually removed the root. It only takes a few days to recover and the body will be healed."

After receiving twenty cash for carriage and carriage, I left without even prescribing any medicine.

Qingwen hissed, and as the crowd looked at her, she said: "The harm will last forever, and the doctor's money was wasted. Keep an account!"

At the same moment, Xiren gradually woke up. He first looked around in confusion, then looked at Qingwen's busy profile in confusion.

That person is still like this, with a slender face, gorgeous hairpins on the temples, silk all over her body, like a goddess descending from heaven, and fragrant cheeks and crisp hands, like a noble girl in a boudoir.

Looking around, he found that the small back room was very compactly furnished. This was a temporary resting place for the embroiderers. As soon as Xiren looked up, he saw the bronze mirror at the head of the bed.

The morning light came from the window and was projected between the curtains, faintly illuminating a face.

What kind of face is that?The inherently unattractive color is a sallow yellow caused by disease, the dry skin is rough, and the wet and tangled hair is messy. She is a bit more embarrassed than a person fleeing the famine outside the city.

"Two taels of silver." Qingwen sent the doctor away and entered the room to see what had happened. She felt happy, remembering the old grudges between the two of them in the past, and said with a proud expression: "I can do one good deed every day, and I can't lose even a penny if I do one good deed." .”

The embroiderer who had changed her clothes had already left work and gone home. Today it was Qingwen who came to guard her shop in person. Now that the former 'enemies' have reunited, a war is about to break out.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

Before Xiren could reply, he heard a knock on the door outside.

"Who is it? It's not open yet, wait a moment." He said wait a moment, but he went to open the door honestly. If you are your own boss, how can you push your business to outsiders?
Qingwen understands the truth that business cannot be done without righteousness.

"Yunzhu? Hongyu? Why are you here so early?" Qingwen was surprised and hurriedly welcomed the two of them into the house.

"We thought you weren't awake, so we went next door to buy dried meat. Well, we also brought pig's trotters!" They were busy on their own, spending less time together and more apart. They are all women who value friendship, and they were still the same when they met again. Kind and lovely.Xiaohong quickly raised the large and small packages in their hands and said with a smile: "I stewed it myself, and there are also some newly made bamboo shoots. I don't know when you will return home, so I brought them here."

Without waiting for Qingwen's eyes to tell her, Yunzhu took over and said, "Yes, yes, yes, eat quickly, we have to go back to the house before lunch."

"It's hot, it's hot. Where's the table? Put the table up quickly!" Xiaohong chewed some meat and walked into the room from Qingwen's side, looking around and asking.

Until you get into the back room.

"Forehead."

"..."

Everyone looked at each other, but no one could speak.

Qingwen held her forehead, Yunzhu had a headache, Xiaohong's eyes almost fell to the ground, she raised her fingers tremblingly, you, me, she didn't say a word for a long time.

Yunzhu was also vague. He hid the pig's trotters behind his back and whispered: "Sister Qingwen, shall we go first?" She and Xiaohong should go back to the house first, worrying that Xiren's body contract is still in Jia's house. In the mother's house, she was too embarrassed to say anything.

"This...ah...right..." Xiao Hong blushed and responded to Yunzhu.

The attacker turned his face away, looking like the eldest sister in Jiangyunxuan, stroking his hair and saying, "Why, after a year of not seeing each other, you don't recognize me?"

From Yunzhu's point of view, it was just Xirenjian who was slicking her hair back, trying to show that she was living a good life, but her dignity was really unflattering, and she couldn't help but sneered, "Haha...haha …”

There are many girls in Jiangyunxuan who have benefited from Xiren, but there are even more people who have suffered from Xiren's secret losses. She is the most slippery with the trick of matching a slap with a sweet date.

Now that she is in Pingyang, it would be a great kindness not to come forward and laugh at her. Do you still want to eat her stewed pig's trotters?Yunzhu picked up the things and hurriedly rushed into the shop. As he walked, he shouted: "What, Sister Qingwen, I suddenly remembered that Sister Qi asked me to go shopping, so I left first. Let's eat together another day!" "

Xiaohong's expression suddenly froze. She took two steps back. When she turned around and left the house, she simply ran as fast as the wind felt under her feet. "There are a lot of things to buy. Where can you go alone? Wait for me!"

The two of them ran away all the way in one breath. Yunzhu felt that the world was really like this. When other victims saw the disaster and were in trouble, they wished that the whole world would know that the other party had fallen!But she had clearly done enough to trample the attacker down, but she was still worried about whether she would get up again one day... She shook her head and sighed, regretting her caution.

Until I heard Xiaohong panting: "I felt so happy after seeing it!"

"Me too!" Yunzhu shouted from the bottom of his heart, and felt that his relationship with Xiaohong was suddenly getting closer.

What does the old saying say?

They rejoice in the same secret and are extremely close to each other.

"It's just what's going on with her? Aren't you serving Miss Shi Da? How can Miss Shi deprive her of food and clothing?" Xiao Hong looked at Yunzhu with a blank expression, feeling that the relationship between Xi Ren and Qing Wen was embarrassing to her. I don’t understand. It’s so strange that two people who used to be like black-eyed chickens can now get along in the same room.

Recalling Xiren's appearance, Yunzhu gloated, "I don't know, but what is certain is that she has no money on her, not even a penny!"

"She and Qingwen were both first-class maids back then. Qingwen had a straight temper and asked her to handle her. Why are you taking her in now?" Xiao Hong said angrily, her mouth pursed, as if she had been stabbed in the back. .

Although I hate attacking people, the friend I have made is a kind-hearted person who will come to the rescue when encountering injustice. How safe does this make you feel?Yunzhu snorted, but she didn't say anything to complain. She just said with a clear-eyed look, "Qingwen is somewhat anxious for justice and justice."

The look on Xiren's face showed that something was wrong. A few days ago, didn't the third girl give Xiren's mother money for burning and burial? Could it be that a relative passed away and she also changed her gender?
"Don't worry, won't it be clearer after asking Qingwen later?" Only when you ask clearly before stepping on her will you be able to live up to those moments of true hatred that day, right?
Xiaohong thought, that's right, the truth will come out sooner or later, and then she asked: "What did Sister Qi send you to buy? Why don't you tell me, let's go together, we will go back to eat pig's trotters after shopping."

"I made it up randomly."

"..."

The two of them had hired an oxcart to arrive, and now they were hiring an oxcart to return. The streets were deserted. They had eaten all the pig trotters they had brought with them in the noodle shop, and they didn't feel uncomfortable because they were so hot.

The old man walked in front of the ox head in an orderly manner. Seeing that the little girl was bored, he thought it was because she disliked the discomfort of the ox cart, so he said: "The two girls are going to the famous Rongguo Mansion. We old man don't understand these adults either." Our affairs are just a piece of news for the two girls to enjoy."

Seeing that the two people pricked up their ears and showed no sign of rejection, the old man coughed lightly, raised the whip in his hand, and suddenly there was a crackling sound in the air. He said: "To be prosperous, it has to be our capital city."

The coachman's voice was very calm, and he didn't know how many passengers had told the following story. Yunzhu and Xiaohong looked at each other, and when Xiaohong's eyes were speechless, she knew this routine.

But it was her first time taking an ancient taxi, so she still felt a sense of novelty, so she leaned sideways on the rafters and waited curiously for what was going to happen next.

"Of all the people, the King of Beijing can be counted among them. This powerful man wants to make a beautiful woman smile, and his skills are naturally different from those of a mud-legged old man."

It turns out that the ancients knew how to step on each other, and Yunzhu's support made Xiaohong stare blankly, "Why is it different?"

"How can it be different when Mr. Wang and Sun are praising beauties? Throwing money, throwing money like crazy." Xiao Hong said angrily, speaking indifferently and at the same time despising those powerful families.

"Hey, there's something wrong with this girl. Even the old man knows that all those big shots regard money as dirt, and it's vulgar to throw money at it!" The old man waved his hand, as if he earned more than ten cents from this bullock cart trip. But it's like ten taels of gold.

He paused and then said: "You know about the Xue family, the wealthy imperial merchants, right? When it comes to money, who can compare with the Xue family?"

Isn't that Miss Bao's house?The two of them suddenly became interested. Yunzhu did not expect that one day he would be so close to the center of the gossip whirlpool. They both leaned on the car and asked: "What next, what next?"

"Our Prince Jingbei has asked the Holy Father for a marriage, and last night he made fireworks with his own hands for this girl from the Xue family. There were words in the fireworks. I heard it was written, "I will not marry you if you are not your Majesty!" Oh, old man! I have never seen such a scene in my life, it is really enviable, I only wish my daughter was not named Xue!"

Hey!
There was a huge wave in the hearts of the two of them. They were talking about the excitement in the capital. Could it be that the Xue family girl was Baochai?

That's right, I haven't heard that there is a girl from the Xue family in the capital. The two of them feel that this trip is too bad. Baochai is also Mrs. Wang's niece. If the niece really gets the imperial edict to marry, Even for the sake of face, wouldn’t Mrs. Wang also want a big reward?
