Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

Chapter 35
Qingwen was dragged by Yunzhu and stumbled.

"Don't say a few words!" While looking around, she dragged Qingwen and the little maid to the room with voices.

After being pulled for a while, Qingwen realized that this place was not Jia's Mansion, and seeing the little maid leading the way, she whispered softly as if to make amends: "Your stitches are fine and beautiful, and the seawater patterns embroidered are very delicate.

The tricks on the side seem to be unskilled. Today Lai Nanny's family may have to make a lot of purses for backup, and they are all traditional tricks. You should also pay more attention to other people's handicrafts.

I also paid a visit to Nanny Lai on the way, if she catches her eyes, you will be of great benefit in the inner house! "Qingwen lowered her voice, and spoke quickly, with a lot of happy smiles on her lips, obviously looking forward to Yunzhu's status in the ring with Xiren.

It's just that Yunzhu couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart when he heard these words.

Nanny Lai is an old servant who has really seen the world. Before Lai Shangrong, when Uncle Lai took office, the Lai family held a farewell party, and even the old lady came to express her congratulations!How could such a person be willing to take advantage of himself for no reason?
He didn't pick up the words casually, all when Qingwen was dreaming.

The two of them were led all the way into the embroidery room next to the flower hall. There was a shelf with a door on one side of the room, and many sachets were densely spread on it.

The bottom of the cabinet is hollowed out and carved, and the stove where the sachets are smoked is filled with the smell of flowers and fruits, which is very fragrant and pleasant.There are two rows of girls in maid clothes sitting under the window, with lowered eyebrows flying needles and threads on the cloth, looking even more picturesque.

In this room, there are carved beams and painted buildings, curtains stretched and buckets folded, all that Yunzhu can see is the atmosphere of wealth and nobility, gold and silver threads are twisted in the shiny fish scale threads, and many purses with complicated patterns are even decorated with pearls and gems, which are extremely gorgeous.

"Mrs. Lai is not in good spirits now. She is so tired after seeing the old men. She has already fallen asleep. Madam Lai has not returned to the house yet, so I have to tell Sister Qingwen to invite you to meet again at noon."

After hearing the little maid's message, Qingwen smiled a little, pursed the corners of her lips and said softly: "Please let me know, I understand."

"If Nanny Lai has an order today, we need to ask you to let me know. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and my sister will inevitably be tired from walking outside. Please treat me to a cup of tea." Qingwen paused, and Yunzhu took out the purse she had prepared in her sleeve in a kind manner, and stuffed it silently into the hands of the little maid.

Although Qingwen is a great maid, she is only a maid.

When you walk around on weekdays, you don't get the master's orders, and you give people money for nothing. It is inevitable that someone will say behind her back that she is arrogant and everyone is a servant girl. What kind of reward is the money you give?
But maids sometimes ask for help, and only a young and inconspicuous maid like Yunzhu can do this kind of bribery.Of course, the money was given by Qingwen, and the four or five purses in her sleeves added up to two hundred cash.

After seeing off the little maid, Yunzhu thanked them and entered the door. The elder sister and elder sister greeted everyone shortly, and pretended to watch behind them for a while, then sat down next to Qingwen in the outside room.

She didn't really come to learn embroidery skills...

"Try it, nougat from the south." Qingwen pushed a cup of white candy to Yunzhu, her breath still smelled of milk, and she shook her head with her outstretched hand.

"No, I need to change my teeth." This body has just turned seven years old, and her front teeth are faintly loose. Seeing the signs of changing her baby teeth, she didn't even chew the bones provided by the kitchen, let alone these sticky candies.

The embroidering girls were in the back room, and the two Yunzhu were outside, one of them was holding an embroidery shed with wishful patterns in his hand, and they were doing stitches deep and shallow. Maybe they thought there were outsiders.

Qingwen said that on the day when Lai's family holds a banquet, the wives of the mansion will definitely come to the banquet. Lai Shangrong also has some official friends who come to the door. Fearing that negligence will make a mistake, he will have the banquet a day earlier with the familiar servants.

But this Lai family is also a talent. Although Qingwen is a girl from his family, she is served by the young master's side. Now that she comes back, she can be regarded as half a guest.

The guest came to the door, no visit, no summons, just left in the sewing room for more than half an hour, no one paid any attention, I don't know why?
Just when the two of them were bored, they heard noisy footsteps outside the house. Not long after, a little girl who was unfamiliar came to the door, her timid eyes turned around the room, and her eyes fell on Qingwen's face, and she said anxiously: "Slave, this slave is a girl in Lai Madam's courtyard. Lai Madam asked me to invite sister Qingwen to go to Songyan courtyard to talk about the old days."

A passage was stuttering, she really was a new maid, seeing the thin and lonely arms and feet, a sympathy flashed in Yunzhu's eyes, the food at Lai's family didn't look as good as Jia's.

Seeing that Qingwen packed up her clothes and was about to go out, Yunzhu also put down the embroidery shed in her hand and followed closely behind.

It's just that before she stepped out of the threshold, she was stopped by the little maid: "Guest wait a moment, Mammy Lai just sent me to call Sister Qingwen."

"Ah?" Yunzhu looked at the little girl, then at Qingwen, and made a questioning voice, why did you only invite half of the people?

She watched Qingwen walk out of the courtyard, and she was the only one left in the courtyard, feeling a little helpless and began to spread.

I knew it would not come.

"My sister, if you feel bored, you can go out of this corner door to stroll in the garden." Yun Zhu saw the maids coming and going on the porch, the afternoon sun was bright and warm, and the red and colorful dresses all over the yard became more and more brilliant, and there was a warm atmosphere of wealth and happiness everywhere.

Seeing that Yunzhu was confused, the maid who came in to deliver things said to her in a soft voice and with a smile: "You are the person next to Master Bao, we can communicate more in the future!"

Hearing this, Yunzhu realized in her heart that this might be a servant from a courtyard in Jia's mansion.But people recognized her, but she didn't recognize him, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

"Thank you, sister, for your guidance." Afraid that she would not be able to catch up with the next words, Yunzhu hastily agreed to the girl, thanked her, and went to the garden.

The maids in the old lady's courtyard, as long as they are not too strict in temper, are the objects of closeness and win over by the servants.Therefore, although he is not used to the sudden release of kindness from others, he accepts it naturally.

But I am an idiot, and I often can't tell whether others are talking about swords or honey, and I am afraid that I will be used as a raft to blow my bad luck. I still dare not walk around in Jia's mansion.

It was rumored in the mansion that Yuan Chun was quite embarrassing in the palace, presumably the Grand View Garden would be on the agenda soon.

When everyone moves into the Grand View Garden, they won't have to rely on others like they do now, fearing that they will make mistakes every step of the way.
