Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

Chapter 4 Rongguo Mansion

"Of course I don't need Second Mistress to come forward to buy a maid, but this time, for some reason, Grandma actually said that she wants to take a look for herself."

"Second Mistress wants to choose herself? There must be her reason. You go quickly. I will rest in the afternoon. When you come back, we will go out of the house together."

The mother-in-law of the sauce-colored bearded girl led a few little maids, and many people greeted her along the way. The group stopped and went, and the girls were inevitably curious about their surroundings, looking around as if they had never seen the world.

Only Zhao Liu was still immersed in his own world, and the woman was even more satisfied with Zhao Liu, who was so small and only walked with his head bowed.

After bidding farewell to acquaintances, he gave instructions as he walked, and said in a tone of three parts proud and seven parts flaunting: "Our Rongguo Mansion is not a family that can't wait for the top. If you get the attention of the head grandma, you will naturally have the good fortune to stay in the mansion and watch it carefully. Go quickly, otherwise you will not be able to go back for lunch in time."

This is to ask them not to look around, since there are maids and servants coming and going around, so naturally it cannot be the inner courtyard.Zhao Liu looked at the painted pillars in the carved gallery from the corner of his eyes. The mountains and rocks in the garden were hidden, and there was a sense of wealth and nobility.

The place where a servant lives is so luxurious, how extravagant is the place where the master lives?

She was still immersed in the shock of hearing the name of Rongguo Mansion suddenly, so naturally she had to follow along honestly, but she didn't know if this Rongguo Mansion was the other Rongguo Mansion.

In the past, Duke Cao wrote The Red Chamber, which has been handed down for hundreds of years and is still a classic. The name of the Red Chamber in the four great classics has endured for a long time.

It is included in countless compulsory reading lists for elementary, middle and high schools. It is a classic book with many characters and complicated stories.

very good!
The good thing is that she, a person who has never read The Red Chamber in its entirety, knows the general direction and ending of the story.

The cow chews the peony, swallows the jujube whole, and the pig eats the ginseng fruit.

It's about Zhao Liu's attitude towards the Red Chamber in the past, and she doesn't like it because it reads dull.It was also because she didn't like it, so she just read it in its entirety, and didn't remember the details at all.

Not to mention clearing up the complicated and trivial relationship between characters.

As Zhao Liu walked, he paid homage to hundreds of schools of gods and Buddhas in ancient and modern China and abroad. This ghost place must not be the Rongguo Mansion she knows.

When people are unlucky, drinking cold water will get stuck between teeth.

Second Mistress was busy with work. When they passed, Second Mistress was accompanying Mrs. Wang to deal with Er Ye Bao's picking up girls. She just glanced at them briefly and asked where they were from.

After the training is finished, she has read it before sending it over.

Zhao Liu didn't know where it was sent, but she could clearly hear what the servants were saying about Second Master Bao.

Throughout history, is there any other most expensive family who revolves around such a precious second master?

How fresh, the first time I encountered this absurd thing, it turned out to be transmigrated into the book.

She squeezed the piece of silver in her hand, and followed her mother-in-law to the backyard as kindly as possible, which was rewarded by the wife.

The newly cut hole on the broken silver was a bit thorny, Zhao Liu was stabbed by the silver, and suddenly came to his senses, no matter which Rongguo Mansion it was, such a generous master is rare.Anyway, it's work, where do you do it?

Rubbing the silver in my hand, I feel that it is more pressing than the five-dollar one in the toilet space.

The old lady was probably going to hand over to Ren Yazi, so she handed over the four little girls to a servant girl and told her to take them to the yard first.

A group of people turned left and right in the corridor, exited the courtyard gate and entered the courtyard gate again, and only heard the little maid when Zhao Liu's soles were sore.

"This is Second Grandma's accompanying room, you have to call her Mrs. Wu." The little maid smiled and introduced all the little girls to a woman in a reddish-brown bijia who smelled like sweet-scented osmanthus.

The mother-in-law asked with a straight face, "Have you seen Second Mistress? How did you say it?"

"I've seen them all. They say I'm training them first, and I'll let my wife take a look at them when I need them."

The mother-in-law didn't say anything, she nodded, and said goodbye to the maid, led a few little girls into the Hanging Flower Gate, walked through the Chaoshou corridor, and opened a very small corner door on the wall when she reached the corner.

Zhao Liu was small, and he followed the woman, unable to see the environment clearly, only seeing the red walls and bright tiles, shining under the sun.

The sunshine in Rongguo Mansion has its own fragrance, but that can't soothe the soreness of her feet. This morning, she almost walked for half her life.

Turning around three times, just as Zhao Liu turned his head in a daze, he finally stopped in front of a courtyard.

"You girls, stay together first, and someone will come to teach you what to do in the next afternoon." He also asked someone to come forward to check their clothes, shoes, socks and hair, and after making sure they were clean, they turned and left.

Of the four children, the youngest is like Zhao six or five years old, and the oldest is only seven years old according to the woman.

孽 孽!
A child of this age is still a treasure in the arms of his parents in modern times, so how can he need to support himself?
Zhao Liu was young, and the older ones would not just cry when they could be selected. In front of the mother-in-law, after a lot of humility from everyone, she got a bed that couldn't fit up or down.

In the small side room, there are six beds in a room. Although it is not a common bunk, it is not much better than a normal bunk. It is narrow and small, and it is more 'delicate' than the school dormitory.

The innermost one is next to the window, and there are bedding belongings on it, and it is already occupied at a glance.

Since they humbly let her choose, she unceremoniously chose the next bed that was already occupied.

Seeing everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Liu realized belatedly that everyone didn't think she had chosen a good place.

According to her university dormitory experience, the bed by the window is the best bed, far away from the door, so you don’t have to be subject to the wind coming in and out; by the window, the light is good and the air is fresh.

It may be because it is located in the north, and everyone thinks that it is not a good place to be near a door or a window, so the remaining three chose warm places like behind the door and by the wall.

Seeing that they had chosen a place, the woman nodded secretly after looking around, and then walked out with the four little girls.

"Since we have chosen the place to live, it's lunch time now, let's go next door and have lunch first."

The four girls all entered Jia's mansion alone, so they naturally did what the other party arranged for them.

Then he followed the woman out in a file, and walked from the corridor to the dining hall.As soon as she entered the door, Zhao Liu saw twenty or so children older than her sitting in a row, and two large pots of vegetables were placed on the long table in front of her.

One pot is some kind of broth stewed with carrots and white radishes. The soup has less ingredients and more ingredients, with a little bit of meat floating on it, and the other pot is full of sour and fragrant vinegared cabbage.For Zhao Liu, who hasn't had a full meal for half a month, this home-cooked dish, which is full of meat and vegetables, is like a full banquet.

After the woman with glowing eyes told them the rules of eating, the four of them sat in two pairs, and the woman cleaned her hands and went to another seat behind the curtain.

Seeing that everyone was starting to move, Zhao Liu quickly grabbed a pancake and gnawed it quickly, repeating it several times in his mind, the meal time is eleven o'clock, eleven o'clock, you can't miss it, if you miss it, there will only be leftovers.
