Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

The old lady feels guilty and gives 40 taels, Aunt Zhao makes a fuss

In the middle of winter and heavy snow, the holly outside the window was bent and fell heavily in front of the window. Accompanied by the warm heat in the room, it made people drowsy in the afternoon.

Qi Lai opened the green cloth door curtain, walked in and saw Yunzhu digging out chestnuts in the fire, she laughed and went up to her and asked, "Is it still cold?"

Coincidentally, she didn't know who said in her ear that if the fever didn't go away, she would send him to Zhuangzi for treatment. Yunzhu was so frightened that the fever went away the next day.

Today is the fourteenth day, and it is less than a day away from visiting relatives in Yuanchun.

Facing Qi Lai's concerned face, he couldn't help showing a soft smile, poured a cup of ginger tea from the teapot that was gurgling, and said in a soft voice: "It's not cold anymore, big sister Qi sit down and have a rest. Rest, eat two chestnuts to keep warm."

She was still sick, and there was still a little abnormal pink on her cheeks, and the clothes that fit her before looked a little empty now.

"I thought, you might as well go on vacation from today." Qi Xie took a sip of tea, smiled at her, and put herself in the authentic place: "Tomorrow is supposed to be busy all day, you are at home, just I can't help but have to follow the busy schedule, I'm afraid my body won't be able to bear it."

She paused, couldn't help but looked around and shook hands and said, "You go out of the house, and I'll go find your sister Pearl and prepare a carriage for you. You can go out to find an inn, or go to your third sister's place." It is better to rest for three to five days than to be busy at home."

It is a great honor for the Rongguo Mansion to visit the relatives of the concubine Yuan, but for the servants like them, they have been busy since the day the decree was issued.Since the beginning of the first lunar month, it has become even more busy. I heard that hundreds of catties of medicinal materials for wind and cold have been distributed in the house, so it can be seen that everyone is gritting their teeth and suffering.

Yunzhu was a little disturbed, but with the arrangement of Qilu, although Jia Baoyu couldn't say anything, she was afraid that the master above would say that they were spoiled.

"Sister Lao misses me. I think today's spirit is shorter, but it is much better than yesterday. It is said that the child's body is full of breath, and it dissipates quickly and gathers quickly. Why don't I come back to my sister this evening? Stay here, I will go out of the house." Yunzhu smiled and said with a deliberate thought.

In the evening, before Yunzhu could reply.The old lady took the lead and ordered everyone to come down. Those who were not feeling well should go to the servants' room to rest. Don't let the nobleman lose face for some reason when he arrives.

This order immediately made some people happy and some sad.I am as happy as a cloud pearl. Although I have lost the opportunity to ask for a reward, I can justifiably keep it.

Those who are worried are much more worried. How many people have been preparing for a long time, just waiting for this opportunity that may soar into the sky to come.

"Okay." Sheyue comforted Qiuwen who was also in the same wind and cold. Seeing Qiuwen's small face wrinkled into a frost-beaten eggplant, she was afraid that people would look bad, so she hurriedly pulled Qiuwen and said: "Tomorrow is the house. You should be happy about the big event here. What's more, you have already paid half a penny in advance. It's not for nothing? It's just that the imperial concubine and empress are precious, and the old lady has spoken, so what should I do?"

When Yunzhu returned to the house, she saw Sheyue persuading Qiuwen on the porch. There were so many opportunities for the first-class maids to show up. Just asking the nobleman to praise her while walking in front of others was one of the highlight moments of her career.

That is a noble person in the palace, Yunzhu thought for a while, if she had the chance to shake hands with the chairman, she would climb up even if she climbed, how could she be willing to go back to recuperate?
But due to the nature of society here, going out to recuperate is just what she wants.

After folding the bedding and clothes on the bed, Yunzhu put all the hidden money in the box into her purse, and when she was about to pack some clothes for a change, she heard Xiaohong come in and say, "It doesn't sound good, but I really envy you." your."

Xiaohong is lazy to Jia Baoyu, and even has no money to get up early. If it weren't for Yuanchun's busy family event, she could simply support her old age in place by relying on her parents in charge!
"I'm envious of you. Master Ming'er will serve you, and you may earn the glory of several lifetimes." Yunzhu kept moving her hands and joked with her mouth.

People like Jia Baoyu, who are both wealthy and wealthy, are tolerant and generous to their subordinates, and protected by an old lady above them. The job in Jiangyunxuan is something that not many people would envy.

Out of Yunzhu, stepping on the opportunity like this, hitting the big luck, and being promoted to the second class at a young age just because of the occasion, is the eyes of others.Thinking of this, Yunzhu felt as if she had burned the right kind of fragrance in the dark, and couldn't help saying: "Is there anything you want to eat or play? I will bring it with me when I come back in the future."

"Really?" Xiaohong saw that Yunzhu's words were good, so she leaned over to help with the furniture, and said with a smile: "I heard that Sihaixiang Restaurant is good at cooking a delicious dish called Diaolong, and I also heard that Tongfuyuan's big The chef is from Sister Su’s hometown, making salted duck is a must..."

I saw Xiaohong wriggling her fingers with a salivating look, then said dejectedly: "However, my parents really don't give me a lot of money, so I'm still greedy."

After listening to a list of dish names, Yunzhu puffed out her mouth and said angrily, "Do you think I look like a duck or a lamb with hanging dragon board?"

"The bear's paw and deer antler are also fine~"

Hearing this, Yunzhu hurriedly pushed Xiaohong and said, "Go, go, big sister Qi is calling you, maybe you have to take your place, don't delay."

After sending Xiao Hong away, she patted her mouth lightly and murmured, "You're a bitch!"
Before the little bundle was tied up, I saw Xiaohong waiting by the door with a smile on her face, holding a plate of jujube paste and yam pastry in her hand. Back again!"

"Big sister Qi is polite, I prepared a plate of snacks for you and Qiuwen to take to eat. I specially picked the sweetest jujube paste for you. Thank you soon."

A true Chinese, the highest evaluation of dim sum must be: delicious, not too sweet.But this is ancient times, Yunzhu took the dim sum with a playful smile on her face, rolled her eyes and said, "Thank you so much."

"Which of us is with whom?"

The sound of singing a little song was getting farther and farther away, Yunzhu put a cotton cloak on her head, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, she got into the carriage of the mansion on the side of the road outside the second gate, and swayed towards Zhushikou .

It was almost Youshi, Zhao San closed today's stall, thinking about tomorrow's Lantern Festival, according to the custom in the south, a pair of big carp should be made to make good things come in pairs, and there will be more than enough every year.

"I don't know if Xiaoliu will be able to come back this year. I heard that Jia's mansion is busy welcoming nobles. I asked people twice, but they all said that I don't know the specific situation. Could it be that they took my money and are trying to deceive me?" Liu Ping said Two carps were put into the water tank under the eaves, staring at the fish tank with interest and making complaints, but they could not hide the satisfaction on their faces.

Zhao San was worried, and he spoke with a low tone, "No news is good news. Such a big family has strict rules. If we ask too many questions, it will be annoying. Guard this house. Let's move when she comes back."

Although he didn't see the sadness on Zhao San's face, but the tone made Liu Ping sensitively feel depressed. He embraced his wife and comforted him: "But you still think about the third uncle?"

In the past two years, relying on his wife and sister's skills to earn some property, Liu Ping can be regarded as experiencing the life of a rich man for a few days.Thinking about the conspicuous behavior of handing out New Year's money last time, he aroused the jealousy of the third uncle, a rascal, he was a little embarrassed, "It's all my fault, if I hadn't done such a dignified thing, I wouldn't have..."

Zhao San glanced at him and said comfortingly: "You are also human." It is said that if you don't return to your hometown in brocade, it is like walking in brocade at night.Liu Ping's nature is not bad, he just wants to find some face for himself after having lived a miserable life for too many years.

Then he said: "Third Uncle is old, but it's unreasonable to want to live with us. Liu Shanbao is still alive. If we take it, don't we want to poke people's backs? Let people say that we are greedy for his property. Nothing to be ashamed of."

"Who is greedy for his property! It's not like we don't have it!"

"Hush!" Seeing Liu Ping jumping up, Zhao San held his mouth tightly and scolded him in a low voice: "Haven't you suffered enough?"

Liu Ping is a bit quick-witted when doing business, but this family has shortcomings.

Regardless of how many years he is older than himself, he lacks in sophistication even less than Xiao Liu, that silly girl.No, he earned some money a year ago, so he couldn't wait to take advantage of the festival to make up for the new year's money for the younger generation of the Liu family.

What they knew was that Liu Ping made a little money, but what they didn’t know was that they thought she had dug up gold bricks from under the couple’s house!Everyone looked hot, as if she didn't know why she came to her house every day?

The third uncle of the Liu family is older but younger.No, all the other uncles have grandchildren, but he is the only one who is still working hard to earn money for his son to study.

Zhao San said that Liu Shanbao's virtue of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, he should find a master to learn the craft under pressure.But the third uncle thinks very highly of himself. Every day, the autumn wind blows in every room of the family, and he bluntly asks for a prime minister to come out.

"He didn't even pass the exam as a scholar!" Zhao San gritted his teeth, and the husband and wife scolded these bad things while talking to each other.

Just as he was talking, he remembered the sound of knocking on the door, Zhao San couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the broom in the yard, pushed Liu Ping away and walked towards the door aggressively, saying bitterly: "The skinless and faceless thing, Knocking and knocking all day during Chinese New Year, my mother is not dead yet!"

Upon hearing this, Yunzhu couldn't help but click her tongue, did she find the wrong door?
Just as he was about to exit and look at the gate again, the wooden door creaked, and then Zhao Liu appeared, and the girl who was half a head taller than the gate bolt was gasping, with a broom in one hand, one hand on her hips, and one foot on the threshold , full of air in his mouth, quite informal chivalrous demeanor.

Yunzhu's chin almost dropped to the ground. Is this still her elegant and graceful third sister?

"Three...third sister?"

"Why, you...how did you come out?"

The two sisters were stuttering and shocked each other. When Yunzhu saw the bare-walled house, the stuttering seemed to be getting worse. "Sister, you... have you... been robbed?"

Liu Ping choked.

The hand holding the tea trembled unconsciously, and he pushed Zhao San, motioning for Zhao San to explain.Turning his head to look at Yunzhu's delicate and ruddy hands, and then at the two chilblains on his own hands, he was embarrassed to hand the pottery bowl to Yunzhu's hand.

After putting down the tea bowl, he said, "You two sisters will chat while I go kill the fish."

Then he ran away.

"Your brother-in-law has recently studied with Liu Shanbao, saying that this is called avoiding suspicion." Zhao San emphasized, but she refused to admit it.

Seeing that Yunzhu was dressed thickly and neatly, but it was unavoidable to look haggard, so he took Yunzhu's hand, looked left and right, and saw a bag of tears, then asked with a sob: "But what's uncomfortable? How can you be thin?" Like this?"

But she is much thinner than the last time they met, but at that time she had not even lost all her baby fat, so it was normal for her to be chubby.Now that she has not only had a vaginal discharge, but has also fallen ill, how can she still maintain her fat body?
But it is not important.

"It's because she's grown taller and looks thinner." Yunzhu laughed, and she even put on a layer of rouge before going out, her complexion is absolutely fine.After looking around the house, she asked again: "Why, the furnishings in the house are so empty? But the money is not in your hand?"

Yunzhu is afraid that the couple's money-making is just passing away. If the ability to keep money is so weak, she still has a lot of money-making ideas, how dare she teach them?

Zhao San likes Xiao Liu's calm and innocent appearance the most. When he was a child, he was cute, but now he is calm, which shows that the capital's feng shui nourishes people.

"Seeing that this is good news for you to know first." Zhao San touched Yunzhu's head with a smile, and said cheerfully: "Come on, third sister will show you something good."

Yunzhu didn't know why, so she saw Zhao San leaning over and taking out two pieces of paper from the cabinet under the kang mat. She didn't recognize the style of the deed, but she recognized the word deed.Seeing that a certain street and a certain courtyard were seriously written on the paper, where it started and where it ended, but it didn't say who owned it.

Yunzhu blinked her eyes, she didn't quite understand, but she asked, "Why didn't you go to the government to change the red deed?"

As a rule, the deeds of houses and land properties in this dynasty are called white deeds for private transfers. The white deeds have the name of the seller, the name of the intermediary, and even the name of the person who specially witnessed the signing of the contract, but there is no name of the buyer. .

Once the white deed is lost, even if the rent is paid in full, the buyer will not be able to prove that he is the ultimate owner of the house.What's more, if the bad-hearted person gets the white deed, he can spend some money and go directly to the government to pay taxes and change the name to the red deed, and then take the house as his own.

Seeing that Zhao San didn't talk to him, Yunzhu asked persistently, "But there's not enough money to pay the tax?"

Unable to bear Yunzhu's soft and hard foam, secretly surprised that this girl could read and break characters, she hurriedly said happily: "I wanted to wait for you to come back, find someone to follow you to exchange for the red deed, turn to the left and wait." Wait until you see you go home."

It was all right, but it turned into a complaint again.Yunzhu had no choice but to coax Jia Baoyu, and made Zhao San happy before listening to her continue: "Ordinary people live their lives, always wanting to keep their fat and water from flowing into other people's fields. Your brother-in-law also said that Liu Shanbao studied for two years, and helped him It's okay to be a good person, but third uncle knew about our house purchase, so he insisted on adding his name to our contract, this is the position I reserved for you!"

It turned out that an outsider wanted to add his name to Zhao San's real estate certificate, so would that work?Yunzhu was also annoyed, but in a blink of an eye, Zhao San said that the position was reserved for him, so she blushed immediately.

After asking about the house payment, I was even more embarrassed and said: "This is what you have worked so hard to earn. How can I occupy the magpie's nest? What's more, my brother-in-law has already given me 200 taels of dividends. I don't have to be so greedy to occupy you." house."

300 taels, a set of yards in the city is still an ordinary residential area, and the land is 300 square meters, so it costs [-] taels, Yunzhu couldn't help being speechless.

But he couldn't stop being happy for Zhao San, this is the end of all hardships.
