Be a maid in the red mansion [Comprehensive]

After sending Xiuyi away, Jiang Wanyin stayed alone and tidied up the Ning courtyard inside and out, and rearranged it according to Jia Hu's habits with minor changes.

In terms of living room layout preferences, Jia Hu really deserves to be Zhang's son, and even his preferences follow Zhang's.

Jia Hu likes simple, generous, exquisite and low-key decorations, not following his wife Jia Shishi who likes high-key luxury.

Apparently, the people in Zhang's mansion knew Jia Hu's preferences, and the interior and exterior layouts followed a simple and delicate style, and Jiang Wanyin only made a few changes.

After tidying up, it was still early and Jia Hu hadn't come yet, so Jiang Wanyin thought of taking a walk outside the courtyard, if she met the servants of Zhang's house, she would just ask about the rules of Zhang's house, so as not to accidentally offend Zhang's house in the future Rules and taboos of the master of the Zhang family.

Of course, with her status, she could only walk around, and she didn't dare to go far.One is that she is not familiar with the Zhang Mansion, and she is afraid of getting lost; the other is that she is a servant and the servant of a guest of the Zhang Mansion, if she accidentally goes to a wrong place, it will be bad .

Of course, Jiang Wanyin didn't even think about going to Jia Hu right now, not to mention that she didn't know where Jia Hu was, even if she knew, she couldn't just go there as a servant without incident, which ruined the Zhang family's master's impression of her. .

Jiang Wanyin left the yard, she walked around the yard, and saw a few servants, but when Jiang Wanyin wanted to approach them, they all avoided.This made Jiang Wanyin puzzled, and also displeased Jiang Wanyin.

Looking up, she found that the sun had already risen over the roof, and it seemed that it was already past noon, so she felt hungry.

She got up before dawn to serve Jia Hu, and followed Jia Hu to Zhang's mansion, that is, she hurriedly stuffed two small snacks before going out.It will take several hours to pass, and the stomach is already empty.

Brother Hu hasn't come back yet, maybe the old man and the old lady left a meal.

What can she do now?Where do I have to go for food?

If I had known earlier, I should have asked Sister Xiuyi first.When I came to Zhang's residence with Mrs. Zhang before, the meal was delivered by the servants of Zhang's residence, so there was no need for them to worry about it.

This rule is similar in the big family's house. The big maid serving by the master's side does not need the big maid to take the meal by herself, and the little maid will deliver the meal to the big maid.

It's not a secret that she accompanied Jia Hu to Zhang's mansion, it's supposed to be known by all the servants in the mansion.And she believes that the eldest wife of the Zhang family will make proper arrangements.

But what happened today?Even now, there is no little maid to bring her food. Could it be that he bullied Jia Hu, the master, who was young, and deliberately treated her harshly, Jia Hu's maid.

Just as she was thinking about suddenly seeing a maid in Tsing Yi not far away, Jiang Wanyin hurriedly called the maid to stop.

"This sister, please wait."

Seeing people stop, Jiang Wanyin hurried over.She knew the rank of maidservants in Zhang's mansion after she had been to Zhang's mansion. Unlike Rongguo's mansion, Zhang's mansion allowed servants to wear silk and satin casually.This maid in blue clothes should be the third-class maid of the Zhang family, she looks about ten years old.

"I've seen this sister."

Jiang Wanyin bowed slightly to the servant girl, and the servant girl returned the salute.

"You don't need to call me elder sister. The servant girl Liu Ye is only a third-class maidservant in the mansion, but she can't afford to be a girl and call her sister servant girl. The girl just looks at her face, I don't know who the girl is?"

Liu Ye looked at Jiang Wanyin suspiciously.Jiang Wanyin is Jia Hu's big maid, and she has been rewarded by the Zhang family. In addition to the rules of the Rongguo Mansion, Jiang Wanyin's clothes are better than the big maids of the Zhang Mansion.

"I am the eldest maid of the young master in your mansion, and I just came to Zhang's mansion with our young master today."

"It turned out to be the girl next to Young Master Biao of the Duke's Mansion." Liu Ye hurriedly saluted Jiang Wanyin again, making up for the fact that she had just accepted Jiang Wanyin's gift without knowing it.

"My name is Lu Yin."

Jiang Wanyin told Liu Ye her name.

"I don't know what's wrong with Miss Luyin calling her a servant girl?"

"That's the case. I want to ask. It's almost noon. I don't know where I should go to get my meal."

"Why didn't the maids bring the girl's meals?"

Liu Ye was surprised.Jiang Wanyin saw that she didn't look like a fake, as if she really didn't know.But Jiang Wanyin was still on guard.

"I guess it's because the mansion is busy, and they haven't had time to come yet."

Although I don't know why the maids of Zhang's mansion haven't brought her food yet, Jiang Wanyin will not complain or say that they are not, and Jiang Wanyin will even make excuses for her.

It's just that Liu Ye obviously knew something, and his expression was a little uncomfortable.

"What the girl said is that there is something to do in the mansion today. I think everyone is still busy. I am asking for the girl. If the meal is ready, I will bring it to the girl."

"Then it's up to you."

Jiang Wanyin stuffed a purse into Liu Ye, and Liu Ye took the purse and quickly stuffed it into her sleeve.

"Girl, go back to the house and wait, I will be back soon."

Jiang Wanyin thought Liu Ye didn't dare to lie to her, so she went back to the room and waited. After about half an hour, Liu Ye really brought Jiang Wanyin lunch with a food box.

Jia Hu came back after Jiang Wanyin finished her lunch, and the little maids who were assigned to the Ning Yuan by Mrs. Zhang also arrived after Jia Hu came back, and the big maids beside the old lady came back with Jia Hu Xiuyi.

It was also at this time that Jiang Wanyin knew that her cousin Xiuyi was actually the old lady's maid.It made Jiang Wanyin curious, she had been to the Zhang mansion several times with Mrs. Zhang before, and every time she came, she would go to the old lady to say hello, why she had never seen Xiuyi.

Now it's mid-April, the weather is getting hotter, and Jia Hu came back under the sun at noon, sweating all over.Moreover, Jia Hu looked very tired, Jiang Wanyin hurriedly told Xiuyi to ask someone to prepare water for Jia Hu to bathe in.

The two cousins ​​didn't talk nonsense, and asked the little maid to carry water for Jia Hu to take a bath and then serve him for lunch.After Jia Hu took a break, the sisters had time to talk.

"Sister Xiuyi, you are actually serving the old lady, why didn't you tell me before."

The big maid next to the old lady is a first-class job.Among the servants, the old lady's personal maid not only has a detached status, her status will not be severely delayed, and she also gets the most rewards among the servants, and when she is old, she can get a good marriage and even a good dowry.

"I know that you are the maidservant next to Master Hubiao, but you don't know that I am the maidservant next to the old lady. It can be seen that you don't care about me, so you don't know."

Xiuyi lightly poked Jiang Wanyin's forehead to blame her, Jiang Wanyin listened carefully and thought about it, she really didn't care about her uncle's family.

"Since my sister is serving by the old lady's side, then I used to come to the Zhang residence with my grandma to pay my respects to the old lady. Why haven't I met you, sister?"

"It's a coincidence that every time my aunt comes back, the old lady will order me to do things. I don't want to be like this, but our sisters haven't seen each other for several years."

Hearing what Xiuyi said, Jiang Wanyin also thought it was a coincidence.

"My sister is so important to the old lady, and she is also my sister's Fujin." What people fear most at the moment is not the master's distrust, but what they most look forward to is the master's trust.

"The old lady is kind and kind, and she treats me very well."

Xiuyi had a grateful face and a sincere smile, which showed that she had a good life in Zhang's residence.

"My sister is doing well, so my sister can rest assured. My sister will be nineteen this year. I wonder if the old lady has made arrangements for my sister?"

Ordinary people's daughters get married after reaching Jiji, and girls who serve as slaves to the master can only be married with the master's permission.

"This matter is up to the old lady to decide, so don't ask."

With Xiuyi's blushing and shy appearance, Jiang Wanyin knew in her heart that Xiuyi's marriage might be settled.Although she and Xiuyi were cousins, they were not very close, so Jiang Wanyin didn't ask any further questions.

"By the way, it's all over now, can you have dinner?"

"Already used it. I just finished it when you came back."

Jiang Wanyin had some thoughts in her heart, so she told Xiuyi about it.

"What? You won't eat until then."

"What's the matter. As slaves, isn't it normal for us to eat later?"

Jiang Wanyin said indifferently.

"But a little maid named Yuemei brought it to you? I told Yuemei to bring you lunch."

After all, she is her cousin, and she is also the big maid next to Master Hubiao. She said that she also has a bright face, and Xiuyi is also willing to take care of her cousin.

"It's not her who delivers the meal. I met a little maid named Liu Ye outside my yard, so I asked her to bring me lunch."

When Xiuyi heard that she hadn't explained to Yuemei, she immediately looked down.

Jiang Wanyin still doesn't know the relationship between the subordinates in Zhang's house, so she doesn't want to be troublesome.

"It's not a big deal, I guess it's because Yuemei has something to delay. It's enough for my sister to know what's on her mind."

"I'm sorry for my sister today. But sister, don't worry, with my sister here, I will not let that villain bully my sister."

Lu Yin didn't know, but she knew what was going on.

It must be Xiujia's little hoof.He couldn't do anything to her, but even thought badly about her cousin.What a fool, Lu Yin is not a maid of Zhang's mansion, she is from Rongguo mansion, or the big maid beside Master Hubiao.When the old lady knows what Xiujia's little hoof has done, the old lady will not spare her.

"Sister, my sister is new here, it's better to have one more thing than one less thing. Let's forget about it." She is not a serious guest, she is just a servant of Zhang's guests.

"This matter can't be forgotten. You are from the Rongguo Mansion, and you are someone close to Master Hubiao. If you bully you, you will slap Master Hubiao in the face and aunt's face. This is related to the reputation of the Zhang Mansion. That's all."

Saying that, Xiuyi suddenly got up.

"You rest first, I will go back when I go."

After Xiuyi finished speaking, she left, but Lu Yin couldn't stop her.

Lu Yin didn't tell Jia Hu about this.

This is just a trivial matter, but Jia Hu cannot ruin his relationship with the Zhang family because of such trivial matters.

Jiang Wanyin didn't know the details of what happened afterwards, and Xiuyi didn't tell her, and Xiuyi never mentioned it again; but after that day, the daily meals were delivered on time, and the old lady even summoned her to reward her with a pair of gold coins. bracelet.Lu Yin knew that this was a hush money from the old lady.

Lu Yin got the reward and knew it well, no matter whether it was to Jia Hu or Zhang, even the others didn't mention it again.

A few months passed in a blink of an eye, and Lu Yin got used to the life of studying with Jia Hu in Zhang's mansion.It was the end of the month again, and it was the day when Jia Hu could go home.

As soon as he returned to Rongguo Mansion, he heard good news.
