Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

Chapter 54 The Dumb with Ears

In the evening, after Yuanchun finished his bath, he set up a carved red sandalwood couch in the courtyard refreshed. He remembered that he had ordered Baoqin during the day, and wanted to ask about the whole story, so he retreated to the left and right, and Baoqin waited in the courtyard to play the fan.

Listening to Baoqin's description of what the family looked like, Yuanchun suddenly remembered his childhood.

So the past of the past 20 years rushed to my heart in an instant.

If we say that the most unforgettable thing is that the sisters in the family go to pay their respects early every day and study together.Tanchun is quick-witted, Yingchun is shy, Baoyu is playful and sleepy, and the maids call her over and over again, but the best thing to use is Tanchun's sentence: "Father is here!"

With just one sentence, Baoyu will immediately wake up, and he can recite what he learned yesterday verbatim, and then he shouts in a panic: "Big sister, wait for me, I was just reviewing the book, I didn't hear you call me!"

So the gauze lanterns were counted, and after eating and dressing, they were led by the maids and women. After paying homage to the elders one by one, they went to the old lady's room for half a day to accompany the elderly grandmother and listen to the elders' teachings.

At that time Zhu'er was still alive, and although Tanchun was born of my aunt, but because of their similar age, they mixed with the three siblings every day, and they were inseparable no matter where they went.

It's a pity that Aunt Zhao is short-sighted, she only knows how to instigate the children to fight for power and profit all day long. Later, the mother simply became a villain and raised Tanchun at her knees. After all these years, I don't know if the third sister has changed her temperament, and whether she is still the same as before.

Yuan Chun remembered that he officially entered the palace when he was 16 years old, and was in charge of document recording in the Sixth West Palace, and he devoted himself to it for eight years.

The 24-year-old Yuan Chun was fortunate to be ordered for the first time. He was frightened and also had a secret joy. Although His Majesty is not confused, he also has a suave temperament.

But after becoming a concubine, things ran in a direction that she couldn't control at all. Yuan Chun was a very smart girl, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stay in the palace for so many years. Now, what else does she not understand?

"Alas!" Yuan Chun sighed softly, feeling an inexplicable melancholy in her heart, seeing the palace lanterns swaying brightly, and the birds chirping in the sky returning to their nests, but she could only murmur to the qin: "The green lantern has a taste, it's no longer a child."

Baoqin looked from the side and saw that Yuan Chun was rubbing a handkerchief with a picture of a child flying a kite in his hand. The child who ran at the front and smiled the most had been stretched out, and his spirit had long since disappeared, so he asked: "Your Majesty, are you homesick?"

"Ten years." Yuan Chun was dazed while pulling on his handkerchief, and said, "I should have gotten used to it by now."

Baoqin said with a charming smile: "My empress is now enshrined in the Jin Dynasty, and the empresses of the Wang family and the Liu family can go back to visit their relatives. When you mention it to the empress, it must be time to meet the master and wife."

Yuan Chun originally wanted to say that the imperial concubine visits relatives, and the affairs are complicated. Just a compliant yard is a lot of trouble. The Jia family is now a thorn in the heart of His Majesty.
Turning around, he was about to tell Bao Qin not to say such words again, when he saw Bao Qin smiling briskly: "I know the strict rules of the palace, but this time I went to my house and heard that the mansion is building a courtyard. Although I didn't ask more questions, the master told me to listen."

Having said that, Baoqin deliberately paused, and then said in a more pleasant voice: "The old lady must miss you very much."

A girl, also known as Yuan Chun, was full of surprises, but her sense was still there. First, she spat at her for being unruly, and then asked in a low voice: "Really?"

Baoqin covered her mouth and nodded, her smile gradually subsided, and she didn't dare to raise her beak again.The joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys in this palace are all His Majesty's. When others enter the palace, they will have no parents or brothers, and they can only be dumb with ears for the rest of their lives. The Empress called this "ancestral family law".

Whose ancestors are whose ancestors?Yuan Chun thought wildly.

……

Daiyu went back and forth between Lixiangyuan and Bishagui by herself, eating vegetarian food inside and out for three months, before she let go of her longing for her parents.Now it is also because of the reward from the concubine Yuan that Fang is willing to play with Baoyu for a while every day.

So the exchanges between the two sides became enthusiastic again, and the atmosphere in Jiang Yunxuan was much more cheerful than before, especially after Baoyu opened a private treasury and distributed the rewards.

The Jia family has always paid attention to decency, and this reward is nothing more than a blow to the pillow. Seeing that the girls and wives all have rewards from the palace, even the rewards from Miss Lin and Master Bao, anyone with a discerning eye will know that it is...

Jia Baoyu was very careful, probably for the sake of protecting the attacker justifiably, so everyone in Jiang Yunxuan gave him a big reward.

Yunzhu held the two taels of silver in her hand, thinking that Jia Baoyu had grown up from a heap of brocade clothes and jade food when she was a child, and she didn't know that money was hard to come by.

Now just because Xiren was unhappy, he slapped his head carelessly and took out a hundred taels of silver, and added a lot of brocade and cloth, and several big maids were full of joy. Firstly, the things were valuable, and secondly, the master who came to serve them personally rewarded them, which is the most honorable thing in the mansion.

It's just that Qingwen was furious, and she was obviously unwilling: "Bah! She just saw that Miss Lin received the rewards of kindness in pairs, and she felt sour. What kind of broken light, I don't care about it!"

As she spoke, she threw half a lotus-colored brocade into Yunzhu's arms in public, cursing and saying, "I'll give it to you, don't let this unlucky thing appear in front of her eyes again," and then went back to the room angrily.

Yunzhu and all the maids stared at each other, although everyone has a share of the silver, but there are only three or two pieces of this fine brocade, and if it is divided up, only a few big girls will have a share.Right now, Yunzhu, a third-class envoy, got half a horse by herself. Although it was thrown to her by others, it is a real benefit, isn't it?
It's just that the big girls are still present at the moment, and everyone only dares to turn their eyes red in silence.

Xiren picked on Miss Lin's sourness, but didn't dare to disobey his master's signs, so he had to coax Baoyu to give a reward in Jiangyun Pavilion, so that everyone would know that this reward was due to her beauty, so as to save some face for himself.It's just that it's difficult for Jia Baoyu, as the master has achieved such meticulousness, it makes people speechless.

On the same day, Yunzhu and Qilu compared satin to make underwear, small clothes and other things. Such soft, comfortable and very high-grade fabrics, a maid like Yunzhu would never wear them to show off in the market.

Don't you see, even a maid with a head and a face like Yuanyang only wears such expensive fabrics during the New Year and festivals. She is a little girl who is not well-known, is she going to rush to the house to get eye drops?

Qi Xun sat aside and helped to pull the corners, and said with a smile: "The second master is really a wonderful person. He usually looks like a shopkeeper with his hands away, but he knows that a bowl of water is flat. I just don't know what Miss Lin thinks."

Yunzhu shook her head and laughed, sighing secretly in her heart, what a big-eyed Qilae, you know how to joke now.
