The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 247
Fengwei Hutong is very lively, and Rongguo Mansion is no less lively.Jia Zhen personally helped open the seats, and there were many people from the four princes and eight lords. Jia Zhen allocated the seats according to their hobbies and temperaments, and felt at home.On the left and right, the Rongguo Mansion gave out money, so Jia Zhen simply ordered Jinguan, who is well-known in the capital, to sing at the hall.

Jia Amnesty was happy to hear this, but Jia Zheng secretly thought that it was too extravagant, and made up his mind that when Baoyu got married in the future, he must be simple and not be so extravagant.

In the inner house, Mother Jia asked Youshi to lead a group of wives to have wine, while she personally entertained Nan'an Princess and others.Several little girls sat quietly at the table next to Mother Jia, sometimes whispering and sometimes laughing foolishly.

More than half of the people in the mansion are working here, so the Grand View Garden is immediately deserted.

Xiuyan brought Meilian and Miying into the garden, and the woman guarding the gate was hiding somewhere to drink, and she didn't even notice that someone went in.By the light of the candles, the three of them crossed the Qinfang Bridge. From a distance, they could see the gate of Yihong Courtyard was closed, and a dim lantern swayed wantonly in the wind, flickering on and off.

Meilian pushed lightly, but the door was unlocked.The three master and servant quietly entered the yard, but no one came up to answer.

"The Jia family is too careless. If a thief comes suddenly, or if something goes wrong, the girls and maids in this garden will not even have a chance to call for help." Mio pointed out the garden. Disadvantages of loose management.

Xiuyan nodded secretly, according to Mr. Cao's intention, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered later, it wasn't like what Mio said, those innocent and good women were ruined in the end.Just because she knew the cause of this disease, Xiuyan had very strict requirements on those night watchmen when she was managing the house in Fengwei Hutong.Not to mention those who gamble and drink in the middle of the night like Jia's mansion, Xiuyan will severely punish even a woman who has missed a round of patrolling.

Meilian snorted: "I think the wall of Jia's house should be built higher, so that I can feel at ease."

Xiuyan waved her hands at the two of them, signaling to keep quiet, and when she walked up to the high platform, she heard the maidservants whispering inside through the window.

The distance is a bit far, so the voice is only intermittent, but it does not prevent Xiuyan from recognizing a person's name: Chunyan.

She smiled faintly, lifted the curtain and walked in: "Which one is at home?"

When the people in the house heard the movement, they rushed out to greet her. The first one was Musk Moon, and the last one was Chun Yan, who couldn't be found anywhere.

Xiuyan smiled and said, "I just went to Xiaoxiang Hall to have a look, and when I passed by your courtyard, I wanted to ask for a drink."

Sheyue hurriedly said: "Miss Xing, sit down quickly, I'll let Chunyan go and make some good tea for you." After speaking, she quickly winked at Chunyan.

Chunyan was about to leave in a panic, but Meilian and Mio blocked her all the way.

"Miss Xing, what are you?" She Yue smiled stiffly.

Xiuyan smiled and sat in the position where Musk Moon had just got up, pointing at the low chair beside her: "I have something to ask you."

"Miss Xing's acting so serious made Chunyan and me feel terrified." She Yue forced herself to be calm, and pulled Chunyan to stand behind her.Chunyan, a little girl, didn't know what she was afraid of, her legs were trembling and she couldn't stand upright.

Xiuyan smiled and said, "I just saw Qingwen attacking people in front of me. I knew you were the only guard in Yihong Courtyard, so I wanted to come and see you. Coincidentally, I passed the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so I pushed the gate of your courtyard. However, I said Just a word of persuasion, you two are too careless, there is no woman in the yard, and you two little girls alone don't even know how to lock the door."

Musk Moon followed with an apologetic smile: "So there are women, but I thought, they have been serving the whole day, and now they are still detained, how unreasonable. It just so happens that there are wine and meat, and there are dramas ahead." table, I sent them out."

Xiuyan pointed at Chunyan: "Why don't you go play?"

Chunyan stammered: "Go back, go back to Miss Xing, I'll accompany, it's good to be with Sister Sheyue."

Xiuyan raised her eyebrows: "Oh? But why did I see you at Miss Lin's place just now?"

Musk Moon hurriedly explained: "Just now I sent her to deliver something to Baoyu, maybe Miss Xing saw it at that moment."

"Really!" Xiuyan's voice was calm, and when Chunyan gradually thought that Miss Xing was nothing serious, she heard the other party suddenly say: "But why did the lotus official complain to us, saying that you broke Miss Lin's lucky bottle with your own hands? Do you know how angry the old lady is? Now there are too many guests outside, she is not easy to let go, but she has already quietly called Lin Zhixiao's family, and tomorrow will ask people from the tooth shop to choose you. Chunyan, you should I've heard that dental shops that cooperate with Rongguo Mansion usually don't sell maids who have made mistakes to good places. Do you want to go to that kind of dirty place?"

Chunyan hurriedly shook her head like a rattle: "Miss Xing, I, I"

Musk Moon hurriedly said: "Miss Xing frightened our Chunyan. Besides, Miss Xing shouldn't listen to one-sided words. No one knows better than you what the origin of the lotus root official is. He is a little opera singer from Lixiangyuan. From the point of view of character, where is it? Is it as stable and steady as a family-born child? Chunyan only got acquainted with her after playing with her a few times. As for what to get, I can assure Miss Xing that Chunyan is not such a foolish child."

The little girl nodded hurriedly: "It's the Ouguan's nonsense, Miss Xing will make the decision for me."

Xiuyan gradually suppressed her smile, and said to Meilian and Miying: "You guys took Chunyan outside to play, I have a few words to say to Sheyue." Meilian and Miying grabbed the reluctant Chunyan and went out. inner room.

"Why does Miss Xing look at me like this?" Sheyue shyly avoided Xiuyan's hot eyes.

"Why don't you say it now?"

Musk Moon hesitated for a while, "How did Miss Xing know that I did it?" She actually spoke out about the matter.Xiuyan sneered: "Chunyan had a child in her family, and she suddenly became close to Ouguan, isn't that suspicious? Besides, she only got better in the last few months, and Chunyan often went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. If there is no problem, Even you won't believe it."

Musk Moon bowed her head and remained silent.

"I understand even if you don't tell me," Xiuyan sneered, "Did the Second Wife promise you some good? Telling you to do this kind of trick without principle."

Sheyue had fought against Xing Xiuyan a long time ago, and knew that the other party's ability was beyond her ability. She gritted her teeth and told the truth: "Miss Xing, don't be annoyed, and don't hate. Even if you change my position, you can't bear it." I will weigh it carefully. Xiren has always dominated me. She became an aunt, and the old lady began to praise Qingwen. The two of them were fighting. The second wife suddenly came to me and said that as long as I did this, she would call me Sitting on an equal footing with Qingwen, the second grandma will also promote me to be an aunt when she enters the mansion in the future. People die for money, birds die for food, I, I can't help it."

Speaking of this, Musk Moon faintly complained: "Miss Xing promised to help me back then, but then...isn't there no news? Is it wrong to find a way for myself?"

Xiuyan laughed angrily: "I won't stop you from climbing up, but you shouldn't be stepping on sister Lin's shoulders to climb up! This makes me shameless."
