Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

Chapter 19 Mrs. Wang

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang heard the letter from somewhere, and came straight to Jiangyunxuan early in the morning after paying a visit to the old lady.

"Mrs."

"I have seen Mrs."

"..."

A figure in a gray-green double-breasted embroidered round-neck jacket entered from the outside, and the maids and women in the courtyard surrounded him in a large circle. Before everyone could finish their salutes, the gray-green figure entered the main room on its own.

Looking bad.

"Why isn't Second Master Bao in the courtyard?" An old nanny turned sideways and asked Tan Yun in the corridor.

Seeing this, Qi Xun hurriedly carried her skirt into the tea room, and the beads on her head kept shaking in front of Yunzhu, "I don't want you to bring tea today, the second master must know that my wife is coming, so go and greet her.

If you see it, just say that Lian's second grandma is not at the house today, and if you don't see you, come back soon. "

Before Yunzhu could ask, Qixie picked up the dragon well that Yunzhu had just rolled, changed the tray, and searched for the Ru kiln teacup that Jia Baoyu often used. He was busy all the time, let out a sigh of relief, then decided to get up and lift the curtain and leave.

Leave the bewildered cloud bead in place.

She has seen Mrs. Wang before. When she was serving tea in Jia Mu's Courtyard, Mrs. Wang, as a daughter-in-law, would go to pay her respects every now and then.

Thinking of Qi Lai's order, Yunzhu half turned on the stove, raised her skirt, walked around the main room through the west corner door, and went straight to the green yarn cabinet next door.

Along the way, the fragrant wind blows, and the servants who come and go around are wearing jingle bells. Before they have gone a few steps, they see Baochai and Daiyu watching Jia Baoyu enter the door from a distance.

It has been rumored in the Rongguo Mansion that this Bao girl is smart and thoughtful, but seeing Xue Baochai, who is the master, arrange the skirts of others with her own eyes, she is afraid that the cold wind in the morning will blow her delicate figure.Yunzhu coughed lightly, and stood six or seven steps away.

"Miss Lin and Miss Bao are well."

Seeing that the news could not be passed on, she originally wanted to return after seeing a gift, but Xueyan raised her eyes, waved to herself, and asked crisply: "Just now Tan Yun came over and called Second Master Bao away, with a hurried look, what's the matter?"

As soon as these words were uttered, Xue and Lin also looked at themselves, with inquiring expressions on their faces.Yun Zhu hesitated for a moment, it wasn't that she was protecting the master's secrets, it was that she didn't know why Mrs. Wang came here.

So he had no choice but to take a few steps forward and speak carefully, "My wife came to look for the second master. I think there is something to say between the mother and the child, and the maidservant doesn't know the inside story."

"Look, I said it was my aunt who came to look for him, so you have to worry about it." Lin Daiyu rolled up a bamboo-green handkerchief in her hand, snorted softly with her small and beautiful nose, gave Xue Baochai a coquettish look, and turned to leave.

Baochai nodded to Yunzhu, and went to grab Daiyu's hand again. The pretty girls walked side by side, and only female voices, high or low, came from the air: "The hairpin is joking again, and now Baoyu, who should be making progress, is making rouge with us girls.
After so much difficulty, I was willing to go back to review the book, but I gave him a gift to attract him again?If my wife pursues it, wouldn't it be my fault? "

There have always been rumors in the Rongguo Mansion that this Miss Bao is a thoughtful and intelligent person, her crystal-like heart is so clear, and Daiyu is also mourning with a few words, but the two of them are far away, and Yunzhu can't hear their words clearly.

Until the sound of crying and howling came from Jiang Yunxuan, Yunzhu was frightened for a moment, was patted on the shoulder by Xueyan, and almost jumped up on the spot.

"What are you doing so suddenly? Go back quickly. If there is anything you need us, you can come and find it." After Xueyan finished speaking, she ignored Yunzhu's pale face and turned her head to chase Xue and Lin.

When I walked back, I became more and more frightened. Could it be that Mrs. Wang knew about attacking people and climbing beds?This is why he came to rectify?Otherwise, why did Qilu tell Jia Baoyu herself that Wang Xifeng is not at home today?

The reason can only be that a mother has to take care of her son's concubines, which is naturally more comprehensive and reasonable than taking care of her brothers and sisters-in-law.

The tea room is a few steps away from the main room. Although people cannot be seen clearly, voices can be vaguely heard. In addition, there are people crying loudly. The tea room is simply the best choice for gossip.

At this moment, Xiren is standing pretty in the main hall, like a holly standing against the wind in the yard. Although he is not very handsome, he has an outstanding temperament.

She was very calm in her heart, and she knew very well that Second Grandma Lian could fool her, but she couldn't let Madam Wang tell her the truth.She is the big maid from Jiamu's room, and now that she has put on such a posture, if she is not ugly, I am afraid that in the future, she will not have a place to stand out in this Jiangyun Pavilion.

Mrs. Wang sat in front of her with a smile that was not a smile, she was not at all the loving mother she was when she faced Baoyu just now.Seeing the angry expression on the other party's face, Xi Ren couldn't help secretly hating Jia Baoyu for smearing oil on the soles of his feet, and then slipped away when the time came to study in the school.

Xiren has always been eloquent, although she is not as good at picking up flowers as Qingwen, but now that the culprit is in front of her, she has already thought up her speech, and she is very organized and clear in words:
"It's only because we were not firm as servants, and we didn't persuade Erye to make rouge. The old lady has a loving heart, and the dew and pollen are all sent to her eyes. Everyone also wants to understand this matter quickly, so that Second Master Bao can read the book with peace of mind."

Nanny Li listened to the talk about pollen and rouge, and then thought about the basket of roses that the attackers gave her yesterday, and felt guilty. She is so old, why is she still wearing rouge?So he sold the flower to an errand in the outer courtyard for a tael of silver.

Mrs. Wang is the housekeeper's wife, and now she is even more afraid that this matter will be revealed. If the master finds out, wouldn't she blame her?So he hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, Baoyu has just entered the school recently, and it's time to work hard. If the girls hadn't started this matter, he would have refused to go."

Xiren hurriedly answered: "Yesterday, there were about ten people in our courtyard, and Miss Lin and Miss Bao joined hands, and the third lady also went to help after that. The second master finished his work early and came back to study."

As a mother, even if you feel that your child has misbehaved, you will only blame outsiders for leading him.In short, no matter what, I would not blame a female envoy Tongfang who gave her heart and soul for her son. Xiren's words were simply in the right place at the right time, and he was only worse than a dry husband.

The holly bushes outside the yard, the flower bushes that should not be taken care of at this time in Japan, there are already several hard-working maids sweeping there, they all heard Mrs. Wang coming, relying on the master to manage the house, and they didn't take care of them for a while, so they gathered in one place and stretched their ears to listen to the movement in the hall through the work in hand.

Tan Yun knelt down in the hall tremblingly, just because Mrs. Wang saw her and Baoyu entering the room with their ears biting their ears, she became very angry. As soon as she slapped the table, Tan Yun knelt there.

And these servants used to be long and short in the past. In the past few years, the housekeeper of Lian's second grandmother, although strict in rules, did not restrain them too much on weekdays.

Now Mrs. Wang didn't know why she got angry as soon as she entered the room, but seeing that the attacker who used to have a face like a quail, everyone was very excited, and they couldn't wait to stick their ears into the main room.

Qi Lu came with tea, and what she saw was this scene, she couldn't help but be more cautious, after serving the tea, Mrs. Wang only glanced sideways, and then looked at Tan Yun with hatred.

With a wave of his hand, the old mother next to her understood the look, and went out to drive away the little maids in the first yard. Because Yunzhu was in the house, maybe the old mother didn't notice, or the old mother felt that she was far away, so she ignored her.

Seeing this, Xiren's heart skipped a beat, racking his brains to wonder if what he just said was wrong.Hearing that the old mother closed the door again, I was even more surprised.

Just when she was looking for love, she saw the old nanny standing in front of Mrs. Wang, whispering a few words.When Mrs. Wang looked at Xiren again, she became more probing and loathing.

Isn't it about the rouge cream?Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Xi Xin guessed that in her opinion, Jia Baoyu was the center of Jiang Yunxuan, and their duty was to make Jia Baoyu happy.

and many more.

Make Jia Baoyu happy?

There was lightning in Xiren's mind. She sold herself since she was a child, and she is also an old man who has lived in this back house for many years.There are at least a few hundred servant girls in this mansion, and many of them are as attractive and ambitious as her. There are only a few male masters of the right age in this mansion, how many of them are staring at Baoyu's aunt's position?
It's just that Baoyu is young now, and the old lady just prepared to send a few girls over. Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth with hatred for Qingwen, and secretly rejoiced that she had climbed up to Jia Baoyu.

Looking at Mrs. Wang's face, she seemed to understand something, and when she heard Mrs. Wang's words, it was like drinking a bowl of iced plum soup in summer, refreshing her head to the soles of her feet.

"Now that the second master is young, and it's time for him to study and improve, the old lady is kind, and sent some of you maids to serve her, both of whom are handy and beautiful.

What's more, people like us don't have to let the men go outside and talk nonsense, but they can't break their bodies inside!After all, who is it that dares to take Baoyu to mess around with you? ! "

Madam Li was still in a daze at Mrs. Wang's words, but Xi Ren beside her had already felt the biting chill.In all fairness, Mrs. Wang spoke in a gentle voice without any aggressive intentions, but she pointed to two facts.

First, there was a maid who lost her job and seduced Jia Baoyu to do something she shouldn't do now; second, she was dissatisfied with the maid sent by her mother-in-law.
