Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

Chapter 123
Xiaohong came over holding a coat, and seeing Yunzhu standing still, she whispered: "There is no one in the yard, don't worry about changing, Second Master Bao and Second Grandma are at the old lady's house at the moment." .”

The early summer evening was a bit chilly. Yunzhu shivered and changed her outer clothes and was about to speak.

I saw Xiaohong washing the bamboo pieces that had gathered up on the ground, wrapping them in a lotus leaf, and said softly: "You are not wrong, this kind of thief only dares to rely on the panic among people in the house now." So presumptuous!"

Is this comforting her?

Yunzhu shook his head and said calmly, "It doesn't matter. Fortunately, we didn't suffer any loss. As for the thief, the house will have to deal with it sooner or later. Hey, don't throw it here. Take it back and burn it to feel at ease."

After all, it was the murder weapon. She had been silent and endured it for so many years, and she didn't care about being a quail for another year and a half.

The spacious tea room was filled with green smoke. Fortunately, the serious master was not at home and no one came to ask questions.

Xiaohong was a little discouraged. Thinking about what happened today, she felt more and more uncomfortable, "I think my father is very embarrassed. It is supposed to be easy to deal with a few thieves. The stewards in the house are all veterans who have experienced many situations." , there is no need for the masters to come forward, but now they are asking the madam and grandma to hold her down and not move, and I can’t understand it."

"Alas." They both sighed.

Yunzhu checked the stove back and forth, then took Xiaohong to the backyard with a lantern, and checked the crime scene while leaning down.

Fortunately, the pearl clams had not been touched yet, but a few ordinary clams were broken. She was a little distressed. These were two or three years old clams, and they had been washed in the imperial concubine's pond for a year and a half. A bath can be sold for [-] cents for [-] cents.

Now this matter should be regarded as revenge against Lin Zhixiao, right?Yunzhu touched her chest. After all, she had not offended anyone, so no one would specially come to attack her clam shell.

Seeing her family's property being ruined to pieces, Xiaohong let out a hoarse roar angrily. Yunzhu squeezed her hand, "When it comes time to deal with it, ask those bastards to pay for it with all their property!"

No kidding.

With Lin Zhixiao's ability in planning, no one could escape if he really dealt with it.

After all, this is not only a property defense battle between several housekeepers, but also an inevitable face battle.

Yunzhu didn't even raise his head, concentrating on repairing the half-finished trap. He was afraid that if he spoke too much, he would make mistakes, so he asked, "Isn't it very busy being an errand next to the second mistress?"

Speaking of this, Xiaohong's brows furrowed even more.

"what happened?"

Yunzhu rolled up her sleeves angrily and asked carefully.She filled the last bit of soil under her feet and stamped her feet several times until her heels were numb. Then she picked up a few pieces of dead clams by the water and felt a sudden heartache.

The pearls on the clam shells were picked away, leaving only a few rice-sized crooked melons and dates hanging lonely on the meat.I didn’t expect that this damn thief would actually choose!
"Sister Ping'er is as well behaved as everyone has seen."

Colleagues are easy to get along with, which is a great blessing. Yunzhu asked again, "Then what are you worried about?"

Xiaohong curled her lips, "Don't worry, Second Grandma..." She suddenly and mysteriously leaned into Yunzhu's ear: "Hey, I originally thought that since Baoyu didn't like me, I might as well find another way out. But I didn’t know until I got there... For example, as soon as Second Master Lian came back today, Second Mistress gave me half a day off. Do you think Second Mistress was guarding against me?"

"It's not impossible..." Thinking of Wang Xifeng's jealousy, the two aunts in the room were more trembling than quails, so Yunzhu said playfully in a low tone: "If you had decided on the whereabouts earlier, the second grandma might be able to Don’t worry, I’ll reuse you!”

Xiaohong was stunned.

Then he realized that the "luo" mentioned by Yun Zhu was an allusion to Mr. Yun.Since she became the second grandmother's servant, and now she is also the housekeeper again, all the big and small things in the house have to be reported in front of her, so she spends more time with Jia Yun, but she still says angrily, "Okay, okay." Talk!"

The dark night covered up the blush on her face. Before the building was about to collapse, the marriage of her children filled her heart, filling up many fears and uneasiness.

Regarding the fact that the Jia family has come to an end, Yunzhu expressed that he is happy to see it happen. After all, the maids and servants in such a big family have to wait in line to be given a partner when they reach the age of thirteen or fourteen.

The real target.

Money rolls on money and profits roll on, and a maid who cannot be redeemed must be married to a young servant. A big slave will give birth to a little slave, and there will be no end to it from generation to generation.

In the evening of that day, Fangguan brought the washed gauze curtain. Seeing Yunzhu sipping egg tea, he asked out of curiosity: "Master likes to eat steamed eggs with sugar these days?"

"I always feel hungry, so this is the only convenience." Yunzhu covered her stomach and commanded: "Come and have one too."

She had selfish motives, the Jia family was about to get angry, and her gesture of gathering wool could not be too obvious, so she ate two eggs every day after eating.

When Jia Baoyu heard about this, he magnanimously rewarded her with a bag of ginseng tea and asked her to take good care of her body and tell Xiao Chuang if she needed anything.

Qingwen and the others also paid attention to her a few times, but Qihe was the most considerate and even sent a menstrual belt in private. She said in a subtle way that she had been very greedy and good at eating in the two years since she came to Guishui. Her daughter's family should pay special attention to their health. Changes abound.

Yunzhu was flattered. Menarche seemed to be a thing for her body.But for reward, she also made a lot of healthy snacks in various ways, and frequently delivered them to several maids. Apart from laying a good physical foundation, she actually didn't know what to do.

From the day she came in, she had been cautious, unable to see where her future would be.As a result, most of the time, I have the mentality that one thing is worse than one thing less, and I try my best to live every day in my comfort zone.

Then hug a few more thighs. It is best if nothing happens and you can stay safe until the day you leave the house.

Naihe's words came true. As soon as Yunzhu sighed that he was safe, something big happened.

This matter had nothing to do with the people below, but after it passed through Wang Xifeng's hands, the whole house was immediately shocked.

Because Lin Zhixiao told Yunzhu to let go of pearl clams for the time being, she hid the pearl clams in the surrounding ditches, and then fell asleep with her arms around the quilt every night. Such a high bed and soft pillows were not enough for a day's sleep. One day.

It's not difficult to be Jia Baoyu's servant, but you just need to be more vigilant in daily life. As long as you make him happy and take care of his daily chores, you will be considered an excellent employee.

What's more, Yunzhu is a maid eight hundred miles away. The maids are busy fighting for favor and jealousy to suppress each other. She only needs to eat well, sleep well, do daily chores, and help the maids, so she is confined in the tea room. Just two or three years.

"So, Second Mistress has caught the main culprit?"

Because Yunzhu spent every day cooking in the small kitchen, her cooking skills were inexplicably good, and she was the one supported by Aunt Song, the cooks liked her very much. As time went by, even the short-sighted parents no longer avoided Yunzhu. "Yes, this is what Mr. Bao said before the meal, and it cannot be faked. Oh yes, I will make a few more of these flossed clams. Mr. Bao said he would give them to the old lady to try, but this snack is a bit greasy. Don't give too much." Who can afford it if the elderly become hungry?

Yunzhu kept beating the egg yolks into paste with her hands, and her frantic gesture of pouring butter made even the cook, who was used to being extravagant, sweat.

The cook came in and put the grated seaweed next to Yunzhu, and said with a smile: "It smells fragrant and sweet. The old lady must like it."

She felt that there could not be anyone in the world who didn't like to eat this kind of exquisite sugar-oil mixed snacks, so Baoyu said to make an extra plate and wanted the old lady to try it, and Yunzhu went there without stopping.

The kitchen was in full swing, and I heard footsteps running outside the back door, with words such as miscarriage and quarrels mixed in. This state of people eating melon one after another is really sobering.

After a while, Yihongyuan also became lively. Jia Baoyu ignored Yunzhu's instructions, took the snacks and put them in Mingyan's hands, and hurried out of the hospital.

"What's wrong?" Yunzhu was panicking. Is the house ransacked so quickly?

Qi Xie, who used to be Duanfang, also looked at a loss. She hurriedly untied the loops on her arms and then said, "Don't be impatient for a moment. Just do your own thing and I'll go ask."

The rules in Rongguo Mansion were loose, but when it suddenly became so noisy and all manners were lost, Yunzhu knew that something was serious.

She left two plates of snacks aside, gave the rest to the cook, and then hurried back to the dormitory.

Wherever he looked, he first put money and other valuable things into the space, then anxiously gathered a piece of clothing around his body, and then followed the flow towards Jia Mu's courtyard.

There were a lot of disputes in the old lady's courtyard, and they refused to give in.

Yunzhu was stunned for a moment, looked closely for the sound, and saw the maid in front of Mrs. Xing saying something loudly.

Seeing this, Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't just a matter of ransacking the house.

He was thinking that the big house might have caused the incident today.It's just that the big house is usually very peaceful. Although Mrs. Xing and Jia She are not as close to each other as her second wife, and she has no children, she can't suppress Jia She's fancy thoughts, but she is still in charge of the backyard.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Wang Shanbao's family kneeling in front of the old lady's door, holding Yuanyang's hand and crying: "I can't wait any longer, good sister, please help me. Please go in and tell the old lady that the master wants to divorce." He killed our wife!"

"Where do you start talking about this?" Yuanyang is the deacon maid in front of the old lady. It is reasonable to ask about the cause of the incident. After all, it is not the year or the festival, and someone can see the old lady casually. Doesn't it look like that? Are these servants incompetent?
Divorce?

Yunzhu was simply confused as to what he was doing.

Even though Mrs. Wife.

When Yuanyang asked the reason, Yunzhu couldn't help but prick up his ears. Hearing Wang Shanbao's voice choked with sobs: "Yes, it was the Second Grandma who gave birth prematurely a few days ago, and... The Second Grandma has now verified it. It must be said that this child was instigated by our wife." He kept saying he was going to Jingzhao Yinfen. After hearing this, the master slapped our wife...and now he said he wanted to divorce her. Sister Yuanyang, please help me, please. You, please save our wife, my wife is wronged!"

"Is Second Grandma hurt?" Yuanyang was startled and asked hurriedly.

"No."

"Where is the eldest lady?"

"I've had a lot of nosebleeds, and I can't stop them!" This bleeding matter is big or small, not to mention that if the eldest wife is really abandoned, will they be able to get along with their companions?The second mistress's fetus was dead after it was born. If we really wanted to tell the difference, it might not really be related to their wives.

Wang Shanbao's family cried bitterly, acted recklessly, and never relaxed.

After hearing this, Yunzhu felt that he could not attract Yihongyuan, so he listened without saying a word.Because Mrs. Xing asked Jia She to be beaten, she felt a little uncomfortable. No matter what, domestic violence was not allowed.

Wang Xifeng gave birth to a child and died in infancy. Now they keep saying that it was Mrs. Xing who instigated it. The old lady thinks it is inappropriate.

Mrs. Xing has no children, and she has been invisible in the house for more than a day or two. Although there are always signs that she and Mrs. Wang are estranged, she really has no motive to harm the child in Sister Feng's belly.

Jia She had already intended to apply for a title for Jia Lian, and was just waiting for the child to be born. At this time, Mrs. Xing would attack Sister Feng. Wouldn't it be too confusing?
Yunzhu was called forward by Jia Baoyu. Mingyan was a young servant and could not stay in the inner courtyard where the female relatives gathered, so he sent snacks to Yunzhu. This opportunity to gossip at close range came so unexpectedly. As soon as she bent down, she obeyed He stood still behind Jia Baoyu.

"You have to listen to why Brother Feng said that the eldest lady did this. Is there something wrong with it?" Yunzhu followed Jia Baoyu within three steps. Hearing the old lady stand up, Baoyu, Yuanyang Daiyu and others Someone helped him to the upper room.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly in the courtyard. Wang Xifeng's face was filled with coldness, and he was staring at the ground with a tense attitude.

Mrs. Xing was choking and leaning on Wang Shanbao's shoulder. She was in a panic and felt depressed.

Jia She sat alone on the side, with a pair of small eyes on his old face chasing the mandarin duck back and forth, obviously not paying much attention to what was happening.

However, Jia Lian was not present, probably because he had errands for the Rongguo Mansion, and Mrs. Wang and the others were not here either. I wonder if the matter can be settled today.

As soon as the old lady sat down, Jia She stood up suddenly, pointed at Mrs. Xing and cursed: "Mother, my son can't stand this vicious woman anymore!"

Ignoring the disbelief in Mrs. It’s better to be humbled!”

If Jia Zheng was here in the past, he would be the most respectable person. Seeing this scene, he would definitely scold Jia She, the elder brother, for being disrespectful and unfilial. Then he would utter many sage quotations in a jumbled manner, turning big things into small things. .

Seeing that Laolai and his wife were in a chaotic mess, with one hating and the other scolding, the old lady moved her lips, holding back her anger, and called Wang Xifeng forward.

"Ancestor." Wang Xifeng's voice was hoarse. She covered up the disgust in her expression and took a few steps forward to stand in front of Jia Mu.

Seeing that Brother Feng, who had usually been bright and generous, looked thin and thin, the old lady became a little less angry. She patted Wang Xifeng's hand and said, "I am also sad that you have lost your child. I won't blame you."

After taking a few breaths, he said to Wang Xifeng calmly and gently, "It's just that things are like this. You have to tell me the whole story clearly. Why do you say it was the eldest wife who did the evil?"
