Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

During the entire twelfth lunar month, the maids and servants in the inner courtyard were tormented enough. Because of the matter of visiting relatives in Yuanchun, the masters of the mansion took turns to show their abilities on stage, directing the people below to go east for a while, and go for a while. West.

It was originally planned that Yunzhu would have a holiday to go home and have a look around the small year, but in the end she gave up in the sad eyes of Qixie.

Without it, the 'second generation' are really helpless, and a little white flower like Yunzhu who has no background has become the primary target of the butler ladies.

"Good sister, I'm done with work after the new year, and my sister will give you a five-day vacation in a row!" Qilu couldn't do it. After thinking about it, she had to cover Yunzhu's face with a big cake, and rewarded several big money in a row. Under the double offensive of Dabing and Dabing, Yunzhu was defeated.

If you want Yunzhu to tell you, all you can be busy in the twelfth lunar month is already done, and now the rest of the work is on the masters.And the more urgent thing than visiting relatives in Yuanchun is to open a ancestral hall to respect the ancestors.

The bulk of this matter is in Xifu again.

However, since there is no holiday, Yunzhu is happy to follow her back and forth to earn some rewards, since she is idle anyway.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Yunzhu put on a brand new cotton bedding and served in the old lady's courtyard.

Today, the masters and sons of the two prefectures will gather together to pay their respects to Jia Mu.For fear of lack of manpower, little girls like Yunzhu were arranged to listen to the call outside, waiting to run some errands.

After the mandarin ducks nodded, they changed into a gentle face and greeted: "The old lady went to the palace to congratulate her early in the morning, and you also come in and sit down, have some hot tea with fruits, and warm up your body. You will be busy later. "

The crowd was noisy, Yunzhu followed into the room and drank a cup of hot ginseng tea, and grabbed a handful of snacks made of sorghum rice. Regardless of other people's chatter, they nestled in the west hall with Zhenzhu and licked their ears.

Zhenzhu touched the color of Yunzhu's sleeve, and said casually: "It seems that the old lady has newly rewarded you with this material, so you have made clothes so quickly?"

"I saw that the colors were not in fashion this year, but this bunch of flowers looked festive, so I cut out my own clothes, and it happened to be worn for the New Year. It took me five nights!" Yunzhu nodded with a smile, and stretched out a palm. He gestured towards Pearl.

The masters all love servants who are pleasing to the eye. Since Yunzhu wore this dress, some people recognized it as a New Year's gift from the old lady's room when she was walking. They will give Yunzhu a face reward.

I was immersed in the joy of counting money, when Pearl said gently: "I know you are a little tired in Baoyu's room, but there is no shortage in the old lady's room right now, so don't be too wronged yourself. I still have a few I can't wear the magenta satin that Mrs. Chi gave you, but you are so handy, I will take it with you in a while."

She was older than Yunzhu, and because of Qingwen's sake, she took care of Yunzhu. Now she looked at the smiling Yunzhu as if she was looking after a little girl at home, and patted her on the head lovingly.

After hearing this, Yunzhu knew that it was so easy to serve the old lady.Even if the old lady isn't mean, the master of the house is always watching Jiamuyuan. Such a place that attracts so much attention is not as convenient as Jiang Yunxuan.

So he shook his head softly and said: "There is no grievance. I made some clothes, and today I got my sister's satin, so that my sister will reciprocate and make some small clothes for my sister."

"The old lady is kind, why do I want you to make clothes for me?" Pearl changed the topic, and said with a smirk to Yunzhu: "Baoyu loves beauty, you just want to make more bright ones, ask him to pour more rewards for you This money buff is good."

"Don't worry about it. I'll come to you to find your size when I'm free in two days. I don't make ordinary clothes." As he spoke, Yunzhu moved closer to Pearl's ear, chattered for a while, and gestured twice , so straight that Pearl's cheeks were flushed, and she even stuttered when she spoke.

"This...these are also taught by Qingwen...to you?"

"Don't worry about it, I figured it out by myself." Yunzhu leaned on Pearl with a smile, blinked her eyes, and walked outside quickly.

She walked quickly, afraid that Pearl would catch her and ask where she got the 'underwear' from, but in an instant her back disappeared before Pearl's eyes.

It's just that she kept stepping, Yunzhu was a little dazed and a little strange, and there was no one chasing after her, so why was she running so fast?
Pearl is not a tiger.

But she didn't give her much time to think, because someone had already summoned her, saying that Uncle Zhen from the West Mansion had come.

Not long after, the old lady who entered the palace to congratulate her came with the support of Mrs. Wang, followed by Yuanyang leading a dozen maidservants, carrying boxes of lucky money.

The purses woven with gold thread are packed into various auspicious shapes, and the gold and silver zippers are made into various shapes. Among them, there are seventeen or eight sets of gold and silver zippers for the twelve zodiac signs. Zhu's eyes were straightened, and his hands and feet could hardly be controlled to the point where he couldn't walk.

Gold and silver are good.

It's very cute no matter what.

And the twelve zodiac signs...how commemorative!

Then he sighed again, if only Jia Baoyu was so generous to them.

27 in the palace was sealed, the gentlemen in the family did not have to go to court or go to the yamen to do things, and today they gathered together during the New Year's greetings, and you and I were very lively.

Yunzhu stood by the corridor under the window, listening to their chatting all over the place.

She has been walking in Jiamu's Courtyard for more than ten days now. In previous years, she also saw those wives who came to pay her respects to the old lady, but this year, she was extraordinarily eager and flattering. Mrs. Xing's words are much more tactful.

"I heard that His Majesty intends to ask the prince to enter the imperial study as an servant." Jia Zheng is a relatively serious person in the inner house master, and it is rare to mention the situation outside. These things are not something that the inner house girl can understand.

But Yunzhu has the core of an adult, of course she knows that in feudal society, what kind of person is sitting on the dragon chair is directly related to the difficulty of most people's later life, which made her stand up involuntarily. ear.

"Entering the imperial study?" I don't know who exclaimed.

"Basically, I want the crown prince to supervise the country in the next year. If so, wouldn't the concubine be able to help us?" Although the Jia family has been following the crown prince, the crown prince has never been cold when the Jia family's nephews are withered. He waited and watched with a lukewarm attitude, and never had any contact with Jia's mansion in the open.

Now that there is rumor in the palace that the prince is in charge of the country, everyone in the capital who has ears, eyes and brains has already started to move.

"Thinking about it, if His Majesty wants to support the crown prince, he must first establish authority for the crown prince and take away the humerus, but who can be sure to say who will be the chief protector?"

The Crown Prince Taibao went far and said that he would be the emperor's teacher in the future. Not only would he have the prominent position of Cong Yipin, but he would also have the right to spur the prince to assist the East Palace.

However, such a person is not only talented, academic and moral, but also the most important minister and confidant in the heart of the emperor.This kind of pillar of the country is not something that the Jia family can come out of. It seems that everyone in the room knows it well, and they are all silent.

Yunzhu sighed in her heart, the destruction of a family really started with no successors.

The silence didn't last long.

The old lady came out with a smile on her face. The new clothes from the inside out fit her well. Yuanyang and Mrs. Wang supported her from left to right, and sat upright in front of the upper room, looking very kind and happy. The nephews in front of the hall were one by one Go forward and ask An to say auspicious words, just like the children and grandchildren painted in those New Year pictures are full of wealth and wealth.

Another year has passed, although she is one year older, but looking at the thriving people in front of her, how can anyone have the blessing of four generations living under one roof?The old lady became more and more energetic, caring for each one, and then handing out lucky money, which lasted from noon to dinner.

As the emperor's "Yue Family", the Jia Mansion also had to enter the palace to congratulate on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Gather in one place.

Yunzhu and the others stood in the corridor for most of the day, and Yuanyang pulled out a basket of copper coins after everyone dispersed, and asked everyone to grab a handful of lucky money and have a good time together.

Seeing her fist not much bigger than the Xiaolongbao, Yunzhu wanted to cry, but couldn't it be fair?Do you have a bunch of everyone!

In the end, if Amber hadn't cheated and caught each of the younger ones twice, wouldn't it be a big loss today.

When she returned to Jiang Yunxuan holding her purse, she saw that the courtyard was very quiet, Yun Zhu was taken aback, and tiptoed towards the dormitory, when she opened the door, she saw Xiao Hong sewing something by herself under the window.

The wooden door squeaked, Xiaohong turned around and saw Yunzhu with a pink face, she hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand and slid off the bed, poured a cup of ginger tea from the small stove, "Is it freezing today? Use some ginger The tea dispels the cold. The second master Bao is happy today, maybe he is confused after drinking, and now Huixiang and Sheyue are serving together."

Tonight, the two of them will sleep by themselves again.

very nice.

Yun Zhu sucked ginger tea, her face was red and she smiled, "Although it's colder, the rewards are quite a lot." As she spoke, she spread out her palm, revealing a large handful of copper coins, with two or three broken silver coins mixed in, about six or seven qian look.

Seeing this money-obsessed appearance, Xiao Hong snorted, but she didn't say anything, she went to ask her parents for a word, so that she wouldn't have to go out in winter.

"Second Master Bao also rewarded the New Year's money today, and your share is probably in the hands of Big Sister Qi, and there are more than one or two!"

"Really?!" Yunzhu's eyes became brighter, this day is worth more than three months, how many times overtime pay is this?

She laughed so hard that she couldn't help squinting her eyes, she couldn't even feel the cold on her body.

On New Year's Eve, my family visits the old lady.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when Chaohe came back, the respectable maids and maids in the house went to kowtow to the old lady. I heard that there was a big reward, but Yunzhu didn't have the blessing and qualification to take this reward.

I had no choice but to nest in Jiangyunxuan and make pearl milk tea for myself.

The milk is boiled with honey and floral dew, which removes the fishy smell and adds sweetness, and then bakes caramel with the remaining tea leaves and honey.

"Well, you are treacherous, so you are hiding here!" As soon as Qi Lai opened the door, she saw Yunzhu and Xiaohong drinking something deliciously, looking at the two satisfied and sighing faces, "I can smell it from afar. It smells good, and I can guess what Yunzhu is doing again."

Xiaohong smiled and thoughtfully said: "Big sister Qi is here, come in quickly to keep warm, it's snowing early this morning, don't freeze."

Yunzhu smirked, got up to make way for Qilu, and took a new cup to fill a bowl of milk tea.

The small "pearls" made of tapioca flour mixed with pumpkin puree floated in the brown milk tea. The hot and sweet appearance captured the first three people.

"After all, the small kitchen belongs to the old lady. You don't have to be afraid of being accused of blackness when you go to get things in the sky!" Qilu squinted, her mouth was bruised, but her expression couldn't be fake, obviously she was very fond of this milk tea. Useful.

"Aunt Song is also kind. She took these leftovers and made a meal for her. The small kitchen is also very desirable." Cooking some fresh food from time to time is also an important means of adjusting life, Yunzhu felt emotionally.

After hearing this, Qilu didn't worry too much, and just said: "Although it's all milk, cakes are better. You don't know yet, do you? Second Mistress got the prescription from you, and it has already been passed on to the Beijing Prince's Mansion." Yes! A few days ago, Baoyu also said that if any family in Beijing does not have a cake cook, it will lose its respectability!"

"Here, the New Year's money is the same as the reward money. Baoyu said that you made him look bad outside, but the name is not good for you, so I will give you more reward money."

Saying that, a lotus-colored purse fell into Yunzhu's arms. It looked heavy, and when she pulled it open, she saw two strings of big money threaded with red thread, and a golden peony flower-shaped purse.

Before Yun Zhu came back to her senses, Xiao Hong said pleasantly, "Oh, I got rich!"

"This... the second grandma has already given the reward for the cake recipe, so it's not appropriate for the second master to give it again." Yunzhu glanced at Xiaohong, and reluctantly pushed the golden box forward, and Jia Baoyu rewarded her with silk and satin. Cloth or calligraphy and painting decorations can be bought from the private treasury, but the real gold and silver have to go to the government account.

As long as the wives and grandmas pay attention, they will definitely know. If she accepts it with peace of mind at this time, wouldn't it be an impression of insatiable greed?Will there be rewards in the future?
Thinking of this, Yunzhu felt that she needed to be humble.

"Then I'll take it back to the second master?" Seeing her reluctance, Qi Xie deliberately took the golden key, and couldn't help teasing her.

Yunzhu seemed to be crying and laughing, forced a smile and said: "It should be, it should be."

For the sake of longer-term benefits, timely positive feedback should be, should be, I hope Jia Baoyu will be sensible, and reward some things that will not be accounted for in the future.But she didn't know that her property of being a money fan had already become famous in Jia Baoyu's heart.

Qilu took a deep look at Yunzhu, and left with a cup of milk tea and a cup of maple dew tea.

"Why didn't you accept the reward? Since Baoyu has rewarded you, it means that he thinks he should reward you." Xiaohong was very puzzled. Although she was not short of money, she could see that the golden scorpion was being pushed out, and there was something vaguely in her heart. It flashed by, but it was more at a loss.

No one wants the maid who serves the young master to be a frivolous person with shallow eyes.As a migrant worker, don't miss out on the money you should collect, and naturally you can't touch the money you shouldn't ask for.

But how should I tell people about my thoughts?So I had no choice but to break up what I said to Qilu just now and say it to Xiaohong again.

Unexpectedly, after Qilu delivered Jia Baoyu's tea, she didn't tell Baoyu about Yunzhu's refusal of the reward. Second, she went to Wang Xifeng's courtyard by visiting the door.

When Ping'er saw it, he didn't say much, so he directly led Qilu to Sister Feng.

After Wang Xifeng listened thoughtfully, his gaze became much gentler.

After Qilu left, Sister Feng patted Ping'er's hand and said with a coquettish smile, "It's rare to be so steady at such a young age, not to be petted, to serve Brother Bao for so long and not to have any flirts, it's a good one. "

Ping'er thought of the appearance of the money fanatic, and it was hard to puncture grandma's words, so she covered her mouth and laughed, thinking that this girl didn't know which god she was worshiping, and she actually made Second Grandma fall in love with her.

Isn't the spring of money fans coming soon?
