Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

Chapter 84 Who Falls In Love With The Night Shift?

The sky was bright, and Yunzhu, who was full after sleeping and eating, rolled a pot of water, and embroidered a lotus-colored apron with bamboo, cypress and pine leaves, and then started to tie it boringly.

"Why do you look so dejected?" Xiaohong asked when she entered the room and saw the crouching head lying on the edge of the couch, holding a silver net in her hand, and handing a basket of crispy rice to Yunzhu.

Nowadays, it is customary for big families to support famous chefs. In the small kitchen of the old lady, there is a Huaiyang cuisine chef with excellent color and skill. His surname is Su, and his single name is Jin.I heard that she is only in her early twenties, and she is a girl and a boy, so handsome, the little girls are going crazy.

There are even those who say that they are more beautiful than Baoyu.

To Yunzhu, the appearance is inferior, what is more beautiful is the good craftsmanship, and he is not stingy, and he is generous with the old lady's generosity, but in two days he used delicious food to win over the little girls in Jiamuyuan them.

"How? I'm just a little hot." Yunzhu refuted the dejected statement, she was just hesitating about the night shift at night.

The two of them chewed the salt-and-pepper-flavored rice crispy and crispy, and immediately said without worry: "It's delicious, as expected of Sister Su."

"That's right, this small rice crust is the most delicious. I got it after I went to help Sister Su light the fire." Xiaohong is used to fine wine and delicacies, but she never imagined that such a beautiful person could be in the The kitchen entered and exited seven times, and all the fresh energy in full swing went to the old lady's small kitchen.

Yunzhu only hated that she couldn't leave, but couldn't see the beauty next door.

Angrily stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth, the burnt aroma of rice crackers rushed towards his face with heat, after chewing carefully, he could taste the sweetness and beauty of stewing with flower dew, the sweetness was salty and spicy, and weird And harmonious.

Strange-flavored soybeans, the name popped up in my mind.

"It's a hot day, it's hard for you." The second-class girl is also the son of the housekeeper of Jia's house. As long as she doesn't cause trouble on weekdays, she is a more respectable existence than Sheyue and the others.It is really rare to be willing to bow your head and go to the kitchen to light a fire for delicious food.

It's a pity that Jia Baoyu doesn't have her own small kitchen, otherwise Yunzhu would have a lot of food ideas to fiddle with. Although she is not a famous chef, she can still be very pleasing, but now she can only cook some flower and fruit tea soup in this tea room to coax her stomach .

"Oh, I'm here to tell you that Baoyu and Miss Lin are staying in the old lady's room for dinner today. You don't have to prepare so much tea, someone will cook it for you over there." As if waking up for the first time, I took a big sip of milk tea made with Luo Han Guo.

After drinking, he smacked his lips and asked in confusion, "Why don't you use honey?"

The sweetness of Luo Han Guo is really unflattering, like drinking a sip of insoluble sugar, the paste sticks to the throat for a long time.

"Here." Yunzhu opened her mouth to show Xiaohong's newly exposed pink gums, which were still faintly bloodshot, obviously a tooth just fell out not long ago.

Seeing this, Xiaohong stopped talking halfway, and had no choice but to hold her mouth shut.It's not that Yunzhu doesn't like sweets, it's because of the long-term interests of her teeth that she doesn't like sweets.

……

Over there, Jia Baoyu and his party specially set up a high platform for the Yangzhou famous chef. The girls imitated the ancients and ate the banquet of Qushui Liuchang. I can't find North.

Even Baochai, who never drank alcohol on weekdays, her cheeks flushed at some point between drinking and drinking.

Jia Baoyu's luxurious clothes and treasure belt are slightly open, with a passionate look in his eyes, pointing at Baochai and teasing her hairpin and ring jewelry, ignoring Daiyu's eyes beside him, he talks about the allusion of the drunken concubine in a daze on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Baochai's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she was worried about the presence of the old lady, so she gave Yinger, the girl next to her, a wink, and finally left the banquet with the excuse of being too drunk.

"How did you go?" Jia Baoyu poked his tongue out and looked at Daiyu suspiciously, who knew that it didn't matter, seeing Daiyu's expression of ready to cry, he was so frightened that he sobered up.

On a normal day, although Daiyu's face was cold, she might still help Baoyu's teasing object in her private heart.But ever since she heard the rumors of a happy marriage from Xueyan, every time she thinks of it, she feels a pain like a heartache. On the one hand, she is inseparable from Baochai, and on the other hand, she is saddened by Baoyu.

Now watching the lawsuit between the eyebrows and eyes of the two, I can't help but have red eyes and almost cry.

Without waiting to hear what Jia Baoyu said, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and went to serve the old lady.

The old lady was getting old, and she was attracted by the babbling and singing on the stage. After a while, she pulled Lin Daiyu to leave the table early.

The grandparents and grandchildren sat under the stage and asked Yuanyang to give money to listen to it from time to time. They didn't know that Jia Baoyu behind him was melancholy.

Jia Baoyu stepped forward to be careful to make amends, tugged at his sleeves for a while, and asked Zijuan to find an excuse to block her back, and she didn't even see Lin Daiyu's face.Seeing this, a pair of beautiful eyes were full of grievances and concerns, and no one could care about it at the moment, and looked back to Jiang Yunxuan with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and secretly wiped tears behind the door.

Yunzhu and Qilu made the bed, and when they were guarding the threshold and waiting for Baoyu to come back, they heard the humming sound of grievance at the door, and Qilu stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? But what's wrong?"

Musk Moon hugged him a few times, saying that he was not feeling well after drinking, so go back and lie down.

Here, after finishing making the bed, Yunzhu was sent by Qilae who entered the room to find out the whole story with Zhenzhu, only to realize that it was Jia Baoyu who offended the two girls Xue and Lin with his outspokenness, so he couldn't help shaking his head and said: "Well, Miss Bao and Miss Lin are always magnanimous. If Baoyu goes to make amends one by one tomorrow, she will be forgiven by the two girls."

Pearl snorted, and teasingly asked her if she knew who she was as a maid. Be careful that the girls will annoy you first.

Yunzhu laughed and said: "Oh, the girls in our house are not stingy Jiao'e, how can they care about this?" Looking around again, the thief said: "Just now Baoyu is crying outside the door, he is drunk now. If you don’t know what’s going on, but still brood over this, you must be aware of your mistakes.”

The drunken imperial concubine refers to Concubine Yang. The ancients paid the most attention to meaning. Jia Baoyu teased Baochai about such a miserable character. Anger is already building up here.

What a happy match?I'm afraid Baochai's piece of gold has long since disliked this stubborn stone.

After Zhenzhu heard this, she immediately laughed so hard that the flowers and branches trembled. She said that she was out of shape, and then stuffed a plate of two-color bean cakes to Yunzhu, and then said: "Go back, and serve Baoyu carefully. The face of the old lady."

This alludes to attacking people, and it also tells Yunzhu not to lose his temper. The wives and grandmas fight, and the Chi Yu who suffers does not know how many times, and a maid should avoid the limelight when she should.

Yunzhu nodded, with a certain amount of money in her heart, followed the words, and went back to Jiangyunxuan with the bean cake in her arms, but just after leaving the old lady's door, Yunzhu stepped into the garden with half a foot, and for a while Then took it back.

It is naturally close to Jiangyunxuan from the garden, and they have not left Jiamuyuan, but it is a pity that mosquitoes are unbearable in summer, even if they smoke incense, there is no guarantee that they will be safe at night.

She was greedy for the cold, and she took off her socks and wore cloth shoes on her bare feet. If she passed through the courtyard, she would have to collect a few red envelopes.So he immediately turned around and walked from the veranda beside the garden, where there were stone slabs and incense along the way to avoid mosquito infestation.

Walking all the way, the sky was not completely dark, and there were sporadic lights in the yard, which seemed a little more interesting than during the day. Unfortunately, she had to go back to work for Jia Baoyu at night, so she didn't have time to watch it today. up.

As she was walking, she heard a few weak laughs. Yunzhu didn't have time to avoid it, and as soon as she lifted her foot through the arch, she saw a familiar figure talking in the distance.

This place is very close to the second gate, the scene of people coming and going during the day, but it is extremely quiet at night.

After a closer look, I realized it was Xiaohong.

Today she is still wearing a double bun, but she has ingeniously hung a tasseled begonia flower clip with gold threads and pearls. A section of her snow-white neck is perfectly contrasted by the light blue servant's clothes. She is holding a bamboo glove box in her hand. , I don't know what's inside.

The figure leaning slightly forward indicated that there were other people in the bushes, Yun Zhu's heart was pounding immediately, she didn't want to see other people's privacy.

On tiptoe, Yunzhu turned back again, thinking that there was Qilu in Jiangyunxuan watching over her, and it was not too late for her, but the wind under her feet hadn't picked up yet.

He heard Xiaohong shout loudly: "Yunzhu."

Yunzhu sighed, collected his expression carefully, then turned around and looked at the flowers, trees, and the clouds in the sky, and said with a smile: "The scenery here is very good, very good, you are dressed like this today. , is also very good."

"Miss Yunzhu." A man in green poked his head out from among the flowers, and gave Yunzhu a long bow, which shocked Yunzhu, and when he saw the figure clearly, he hurried back to Mr. Yun to salute Yunyun.

She wondered, who knew that the man who went back and forth among the flowers was Jia Yun?
Jia Yun is a descendant of the grassroots generation in the Rongguo Mansion, but it is a pity that her fate is very ill-fated. At a young age, she struggled with her widowed mother to earn a living. I heard that it was to take care of her mother nearby, so she gave up her skin and followed Sister Feng's family in order to get a job.

It's just that his family lives on the back porch, and now he manages the flowers and plants in the Grand View Garden, so why is he still wandering around the Jiamu Courtyard at this hour?

Seeing Yunzhu's doubts, Xu Shi immediately said, "I was going to visit Uncle Bao, but Uncle Bao was very excited today, and happened to meet Miss Lin when he came back, so he said a few words." , more deeply exposed, the two girls go back quickly."

A soft-spoken Miss Lin made Xiaohong's neck red from head to tail.

Even though he was so embarrassed, he still did not forget the words of concern: "I should thank you for helping me take care of the dead leaves of the flowers and trees at home. It is hot summer, and you are doing errands in the yard, so you have to be careful of the heat, that licorice And Huo Xiang, I will leave you to boil water to drink!"

After all, he stuffed the bamboo box in Jia Yun's hand into Jia Yun's hand, pulled Yun Zhu's hand, and ran out seven or eight steps in one go, then turned back reluctantly, but Jia Yun was not found, so he turned around. Entered the corridor in front of Jiangyunxuan's door.

While the two were panting, Yunzhu looked at Xiaohong's figure by candlelight, everything was the same as before, but everything was different from the past.

The clothes are still the same clothes, but the water-red low-necked skirt inside is very eye-catching.The bun is still the same bun, but the tasseled begonia pendant tactfully said that it has done its best.There is also a thin layer of Qianhong rouge on the face, which looks like a teenage girl.

It is normal for the eldest girl to have a spring heart.

"What are you looking at?" Xiaohong said angrily.

Like a little adult, Yunzhu raised her hand to straighten out Xiaohong's tassels, and sighed.

Then he hugged the pastry and ran away with a smile.

While running, he said with a smile: "I look like a boring person, that's all, let's go back and make some tea with licorice and fenugreek to cool off the heat."

The corridor was full of noises of frolicking, if they hadn't bumped into Musk Moon at the door, the two of them would probably have to fight for a while.

After listening to Yunzhu's return, Qilu rubbed her forehead, and said helplessly, "Got it. I just used the hangover soup, and I'm falling asleep now. You follow me tonight, and we will squeeze together on the small couch."

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Tomorrow I will give you a day off to recuperate, and you will wait with me in the evening."

Yunzhu nodded yes, but when Qilu turned around, she made a mournful expression, and followed her fate into the inner room resignedly.

This was the first time Yunzhu entered Jia Baoyu's bedroom in a proper way.

As soon as you enter, the first thing that catches your eyes is the colorful red sandalwood canopy bed with gold and inlaid treasures. There are colorful gauze curtains hanging on the top, and it extends outwards. You can also see various auspicious carvings around it as decoration The screen separates this place from the main room outside to form a space for gathering energy.

Then turn around, there are exquisite vases and bonsai everywhere, pianos and swords in harmony, the old lady's bedroom was already so exquisite that it was called Yunzhu's aphasia, but here it is no different.

He glanced left and right, noted down the way in and out, packed up Jia Baoyu's shoes and socks scattered all over the floor, and then nestled into the small couch beside the Babu bed together with Qilu.

Before the two of them squinted for a quarter of an hour.

I heard Jia Baoyu not sleeping well, turning over and sighing, and even faintly choking.

Yunzhu got up and looked at it three times, and after confirming that she was talking in her sleep, she rubbed her neck and crawled beside Qilu, but before she could lie down, she heard two puffs of the quilt falling to the ground.

Both of them saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Qilu whispered: "It's hot, it's hard to sleep. It's just that using ice at night will hurt your body. Go and fetch the silk fan from the closet."

Well, I'm going to stay up all night fanning the young master.

Yunzhu held her eyelids tightly, and each of them waved a thin white silk fan lightly to drive away the heat in the room.

Sister Lin...

Jia Baoyu babbled, then the corners of his eyes became wet, he let out a deep breath, and then woke up faintly, seeing Yunzhu and Qilu in front of the couch, he buried his head in the mattress, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What time is it?" ?”

Qilu closed the silk fan, and replied softly: "It's going to be ugly soon, second master, do you want some warm water?" She winked at Yunzhu as she spoke.

Oh, the young master wants to drink warm water.

Yunzhu walked towards the couch step by step, where there was a large double-decker teapot, filled with warm water every night, waiting for Jia Baoyu to use it.

"Yunzhu is here too." Jia Baoyu leaned forward to take the water glass, drank half of it in one go, and then leaned against the bedside table in the shape of Qilu.

Don't lie down immediately after drinking water, otherwise you will be flatulent, Yunzhu wrote down the knowledge points in his mind.

Only then squatted on the footrest in front of the couch, hummed in a low voice.

Who said that the night shift in the young master's room is a good job?Yunzhu wished she could prop up her eyelids with a toothpick, and Qilu wanted to tell her to go to sleep, but Baoyu was so interested that she couldn't open her mouth after all.

Seeing Jia Baoyu flipping through the idle book by the bed, Qi Xie said with concern: "Second Master, reading at night hurts your eyes, let me read it to you."

What?And sleep service?Yunzhu lamented in her heart, and seeing Baoyu pointing at herself, she said savagely, "I want Yunzhu to read."

Just about to say that I can't read, Jia Baoyu said: "You have read all the books in the study, I already knew."
