Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

People are very sensitive to malice directed towards them, and Xiren clearly felt uncomfortable. She was indeed alert to the beauty of the maid brought by Aunt Lai, so she instigated everyone to come out to watch people.

However, her main enemies now are Ke and Meiren around Baoyu, and she doesn't pay much attention to Qingwen, who is not yet a maid of the Jia family.

The one who really cares about Qingwen is Yuanyang.

These little girls are very skilled and would like to test all foreign "job seekers" in advance. If she could find any clue, she could quickly find it when she entered the house.

Aunt Lai is the old man next to Jia Mu, and most of the people she brings are for Jia Mu. Therefore, the mandarin ducks who serve Jia Mu are the most vigilant.

Qingwen has no plans to enter Jia's house in this life. Since Qin Nian wants to live an innocent life, why not make some money and go to other places with her cousin.

Because of this idea, she did not actively go to Jia Mu's side. She would rather bask in the sun in the yard than serve tea and water to Jia Mu and Aunt Lai in the house.

If she hadn't suddenly seen the attacker and stopped her resentment, she wouldn't have paid attention to them.

"My sisters' clothes are so nice. I just got one like that and I haven't worn it yet!"

Qingwen didn't want to cause trouble, so she randomly found an excuse to fool him.

These words struck a chord in their hearts. Isn't the reason why they are so interested in this maid's position because she is better fed and clothed than others?

Everyone immediately interpreted her words as jealousy, and a sense of superiority arose spontaneously.

However, testing is still necessary. Several people dragged Qingwen over and asked her to turn over the flower rope together, but as they spoke, they found out about her origins.

"Are you also from Jinling? So are we! My mother-in-law and my brothers are still looking after the yard in my hometown! You came here two years ago? Then have you heard about the Jia Mansion there?"

Yuanyang looked like he was meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and even took out melon seeds from his purse and gave them to Qingwen.

Qingwen had lived in Jinling for several lifetimes and was quite familiar with Jinling. With a few words, Yuanyang's suspicions were eliminated. However, Yuanyang was more concerned about whether Qingwen would come to Jia Mu's place and whether she would be easy to get along with, so she sighed and said:

"It would be great if you were also the old lady's maid. We get along well, and I can also hear more about my hometown from you."

Qingwen just smiled, and when she saw Yuanyang saying that she was going to ask Jia Mu to get her, she said seriously: "My brother is also in the Lai family. I must be with him."

"Although Grandma Lai no longer serves the old lady, she still comes to visit her often. I come here often when I have time, so it's not a bother."

Everyone saw that she really had no intention of coming to Jia's house, so they played with her peacefully. When it was time to change shifts, the group of people dispersed.

Qingwen followed Aunt Lai back and found Wu Gui waiting for her at the door.

"elder brother!"

She looked at Aunt Lai with a bit of embarrassment, and after getting her consent, she ran towards Wu Gui.

"Brother, what do you want from me?"

Qingwen suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Wu Gui's expression. She hesitated to speak several times, but in the end she just smiled, asked Qingwen how she was doing, expressed some concern and left.

Qingwen looked at his back and saw that his body had improved due to the three months of food, and she couldn't help but think of Wu Gui in the original work.

In the original work, Wu Gui has become a low-level cook in the Jia family and married a house of slutty girls who can be bullied by everyone. This daughter-in-law is more lively than him, and all the men in the Jia family have something to do with her.

But he didn't care about it, he just kept drinking, and was nicknamed "Duo Munchong", which did not live up to his "green-headed turtle" behavior.

Now this young man seems to be strong and energetic just by eating enough food for a few months. Comparing this, he is completely two different people.

What circumstances caused him to do that?

After all, it was difficult to talk at the door. Seeing that Wu Gui looked bad, and worried about what happened to him, and fearing that it would be difficult for him as an elder brother to talk to him, Qingwen decided that she had nothing to do at night, so she secretly went over to see him.

The night was as cold as water, so Qingwen made her bed look like someone was sleeping, and lit soothing incense in the room to prevent the little girl in the room from noticing her absence at night.

In the dark, she found the door to the front yard and saw the gatekeeper yawning. After waiting for a while, she saw her taking a nap against the door. Qingwen used her small body to be light and jumped over on tiptoes.

She had been to Wu Gui's place during the day a few days ago and was very envious when she saw him sleeping in a room alone. It would be convenient to go find him now.

She expected that Wu Gui, who looked sad during the day, would not go to bed early at night, so she was not afraid of missing it, so she walked carefully so as not to be seen by the people patrolling the front yard.

It was only when I got to Wu Gui's office that I realized something was wrong.

Wu Gui was indeed not asleep at this time, and was drinking with Lai Da and another boy.

Qingwen became worried when she saw the two of them singing along and about to get Wu Gui drunk.

In the room, Wu Gui had already waved his hand and said he didn't want to drink anymore, but Lai Da and the boy still kept him pressed to drink. Only then did he realize that something was wrong, and his hands when he stood up to push people were limp.

"O-Master... Hiccup, you, what are you going to do?"

"Don't you know everything about what you are doing? You avoided me so tightly the past two days. Do you want to do it here because you don't want to do it with me?"

When Lai Da saw his wish come true, he felt happy. He had been coveting this person for some time, and today he was about to get what he wanted.

Wu Gui began to regret that he drank so much, but it was really because he was depressed that he fell into Lai Da's trap.

Today is the day when he will move his relatives out of the mass graves and lay them to rest. Originally, I wanted to take Qingwen with me, but when I thought of calling her, it would make me cry one more time, so I changed my mind.

Now Qingwen seems to have forgotten the past and is happy every day. Now she is eating well and her face is starting to look fleshy.

He couldn't help but regret not letting her live such a good life with no worries about food and clothing earlier. She suffered for more than two years because she insisted on her senseless character.

So when I saw Qingwen going out with Grandma Lai in the morning, I didn't say anything. When he came back from his work and saw her coming back happily, he couldn't say anything more.

Qingwen is young and has forgotten the past. But he could never forget it.

Especially knowing that today's emperor is the murderer who destroyed his family, but he is still so close to him, living in the imperial city not far away.

Every day when he went out with Lai Da, he would always see the walls of the imperial city. It was so close, but he couldn't go in and kill his enemy.

If there was no Qingwen, he might just bite the bullet and go, but now that he still has Qingwen to take care of, his determination is not firm.

He thought that if he got ahead in the future, he would not be a failure to his parents and relatives, but to get ahead was to serve the emperor, he was so confused that he couldn't find a way out.

It was like Lai Da had discovered that he was peeping at him, but he didn't dare to stare at him directly as he had before.

Now he no longer wants to live that kind of wandering life, and he has spent all his money.

Lai Da waved the other boy to leave. He got up and came over to undress him regardless of Wu Gui's obstruction. "Come on, come on, these clothes are stained with alcohol and can't be worn anymore. I'll help you take them off right now. You'll feel comfortable." ……hey-hey!"
