[Red House] World Transformation Project

When Baoyu grabbed the old cat's tail for the third time, Ruan Qing finally couldn't help it.

She reached out to move the child's fat paw away, patted it lightly, and reprimanded: "A person who turns four years old is still so ignorant."

Baoyu lazily lay on the stone steps to bask in the sun. Baoyu said with a frowning face, "I see that it always does not move. I am afraid that it will be uncomfortable, so I just want to see it." look."

Ruan Qing paused, touched the old cat's back, and sighed.Goudan is a long-haired Persian cat. It is inevitable that its fur will turn yellow and knotted when it gets old. Several girls groomed and combed it, but they couldn't make it clean.

There is really no way to do this, what it loses is vitality, and it cannot be solved by combing.

Ruan Qing said: "Girls are all watching, and they will tell if something is wrong. Your tossing around like this will only affect his rest."

Baoyu is very careful and serious about the things he cares about. He nodded hastily and asked again: "Can I take it out to play?"

Goudan had been looking listless since he was born, he was used to it, but he didn't think about life and death, but he felt a little strange that this cat was different from the cats he had seen.

He and his friends like to play with children of the same age when they are not energetic. If you want to take it out for a walk, maybe it will be more energetic.

Ruan Qing yawned and said, "Go ahead, let the girl hold you, you won't be able to hold her. Remember not to bring it in when you go to pay your respects to your grandmother."

Although Baoyu didn't get to be with Jia Mu under Wu Ming's control, he still wanted to go there every day to ask An to say a few words. Ruan Qing was afraid that it would be bad for him to carry the dog egg over to him in an unfamiliar environment with too many people. .

Although the cat can't open its eyes a few times a day, it grew up in the second room and hasn't been out much. In case, the old cat can't stand it.

Baoyu nodded solemnly, and went out holding the dog egg.Ruan Qing just got up not long ago, she was sleepy and dazed, and took the opportunity to squint for a while while the girl was dressing herself.

When she woke up and went out to see, Goudan was almost awake, and straightened up and lay on Baoyu's body to grab the jerky. Unfortunately, Baoyu is too short now, and he can't stop the cat's mouth even if he raises his hand to the highest.

Ruan Qing smiled, stepped forward and patted Goudan, injected some spiritual power calmly, and said, "Let's go, go and pay your respects to your grandmother."

Goudan was patted lightly, but he became more energetic. He shook his hair and combed it. Baoyu showed a look of reluctance, but he didn't bother him too much. He got up and followed Ruan Qing.

When they went, the main room was already surrounded by many people. Mrs. Zhang was sitting with her two children, Yingchun and Jia Cong, and Youshi, who was pale and haggard, was sitting on the opposite side. Ruan Qing was stunned for a moment, and asked: " The old lady and sister-in-law are well...how come Zhen's daughter-in-law is free today?"

To be honest, every time she called Jia Zhen that way, she felt strange in her heart, but she couldn't go too far as an aunt. Wu Ming could call Jia Zhen by her name directly, and she was a bit over the line when she was rude. Being able to hypnotize myself is calling a dog barking a dog...

Youshi forced a smile, and said: "Recently, Rong'er is going to start a family, and it's not good for a junior to go over the elders, so I'm here to ask the old lady to take care of me."

Ruan Qing couldn't help but glanced at her, feeling that she didn't seem to be in a very good mood, but considering Jia Rong's indifferent and contemptuous attitude towards her, it was understandable. She had no children under her knees, and her stepson was not filial, that is, she was living in a deep house. It's time.

"That's good, it's time for Rong'er to take care of herself."

Ruan Qing whispered in her heart, go to hell and calm down.

Although Youshi couldn't hear her heartfelt feelings, he could feel her indifference towards Jia Rong, forced a smile, and changed the subject, "Why don't you see Yuan'er and An'er?"

Ruan Qing said: "Yuan'er is with the eldest princess in the palace, and An'er is with her father. When they come back, I will let them go and greet you."

Youshi didn't dare to trust her, and hurriedly said: "No need, a sister-in-law can't let my sister go back and forth. Besides, my house is also busy now. When I have a chance later, I will invite my sisters to have a good gathering."

While talking, several little girls came in one after another, each holding a small tray with small and delicate teacups on it.

Ruan Qing felt something strange in her heart, couldn't help but glanced at the girl who was leading the head, and heard Jia Mu laughing: "This is a new girl who came here not long ago. She learned the rules well, so I will let you wait on her. If you are interested , just pick one and go back."

Ruan Qing hurriedly shook her head and said: "The old lady has flattered me. There are enough maids in my room. I don't feel comfortable surrounded by too many people."

Jia Mu nodded her head and said with a smile: "I know you are kind-hearted, don't go ahead, they are not reserved for you. These girls are reserved for the younger generation, and Baoyu should have a girl to serve her. You can't use your girl all the time, you have to choose some people in Yingying and Cong'er's rooms, so that when you grow up in the future, it will be convenient for you to use."

The children of noble families usually choose girls when they are raised by their mothers until they are four or five years old. Boys are used to be housekeepers in the future, and girls are used as dowry to play young feelings, and they are not afraid of changing their hearts midway. But this is really unfair to the boy's future wife. She is a childhood sweetheart, and you are a hammer.

The smile on Ruan Qing's face was almost froze, and it took a long time before she said dryly: "The old lady said, the daughter-in-law thinks that Baoyu and Cong'er should not have too many maids around, let's not talk about whether the maids who are not much different in age can serve you It is not appropriate for these noble young masters to be arrogant in the future if they rely on favor and become arrogant because of the soft-heartedness of their masters."

Mother Jia paused for a moment, thinking of Lai Nanny's family who were corrupt and corrupt based on her affection, her smile faded a lot.

Ruan Qing hurriedly hit the rails while it was hot: "Zhu'er and Lian'er were raised by their father back then, and there were mostly servants and nurses around them, so there is nothing wrong with it. Boys will always make achievements in the future. How can we let them be in the public eye? grew up?"

Jia Cong was only a few months away from being three years old, and he didn't understand what he heard, but Baoyu understood that he was preparing a girl for himself, and hurriedly said: "I don't want girls, it is enough to have thrushes around me."

He has admired Jia Zhu since he was a child, so naturally he doesn't want to distinguish him from Jia Zhu, not to mention that Ruan Qing brainwashed him since he was a child, and now he has no interest in little girls.

Jia's mother firmly believed that Baoyu, a grandson with visions, would have great fortune, so she didn't care. Thinking of the excellence of Jia Zhu and Jia Lian, her heart was already shaken. The thing is, these girls just entered the mansion a few years ago, and they have to be trained for at least a year or two before they can serve the master. Baoyu is weaker, so the little girls will inevitably be inattentive, so that's fine, you will pay attention, as for Cong'er..."

She paused, knowing that Mrs. Zhang was okay with Yingchun, but she was a little shy towards Jia Cong. She was afraid that someone with a heart would stir up the relationship between mother and child, and a good thing would turn into a bad thing. They are still young, so I might not be able to take care of them, in a few years, when Cong'er grows up, I will take Pearl with me, and Qiu Wen will go with Ying Yatou."

Anyway, she doesn't expect Jia Cong to be successful, as long as she doesn't lose the face of the Duke's Mansion.

Ruan Qing was stunned for a moment before realizing that these names were all mass-produced, just like the mandarin ducks who were forced to marry by Jia She have not yet entered the mansion, this autumn pattern may not be the one next to Baoyu, but it must be the one next to Yingchun in the future. The one who wants to change her name is Siqi, the granddaughter of Wang Shanbao, Mrs. Xing's companion. Anyway, she has no chance to serve Yingchun. I don't know if this girl will change her name to Siqi.

Jia's mother obviously put someone next to Jia Cong because she was worried about Zhang, but Ruan Qing looked over and did not see any change in Zhang's expression.

But when you think about it, you also know that the relationship that grew up together, how saintly can it be without a little deterioration in adolescence?Even if Baoyu liked Daiyu wholeheartedly, he still had an intimate relationship with his maid.

Jia's mother was obviously partial. When it came to Baoyu's future, she even broke the rule of putting a few spare rooms next to the young master, but Jia Cong put one first regardless of the others. Although Ruan Qing was the biological mother and Zhang's It's because of the adoptive mother, but it also shows that Jia's mother doesn't care too much about this child, and even said that she doesn't want the concubine to become a talent, and the eldest son's heirs are weak. It is not a good thing for Jia Lian to have an excellent concubine brother.

Ruan Qing paused for a long time, and glanced at Mrs. Zhang, she probably saw it too.

This is really... Although Ruan Qing is not the Holy Mother, she can't help but feel a little uncomfortable at this moment. If you don't want to see a concubine, don't give birth. If you don't raise it well, you will become a waste like Jia Huan.

The chat between their family was in full swing, and Youshi was sitting on pins and needles. Seeing that it had almost calmed down, he smiled and flattered him: "The old lady can teach/teach people, but after half a year, she can teach/teach them to be well-behaved. It's not like in my house, a group of maids can only be produced in one or two years..."

Mother Jia smiled reservedly, and waved away all the maids except Qiuwen. Yingchun is nearly seven years old now, and there should be a big maid by her side.

Girls who were not as tall as Ruan Qing's waist left one after another. Looking at their backs, Ruan Qing felt that the feudal society was really threatening, and they were so outstanding at such a young age.

Wait, what was the girl's name just now?

...Flower pearls?

Ruan Qing: "..."

Fuck, is it possible that Jia Cong wants to use Baoyu's script instead?

Youshi knew that just now when Mother Jia talked about the child's education with Ruan Qing like no one else, she was dissatisfied with Jia Rong's upbringing, so she couldn't help but smile wryly.

She also wanted to take care of it, but would Jia Rong listen?This child has been disobedient since she married in. She is a stepmother and dare not be strict with her, so she can only persuade and beg, so Jia Rong reluctantly agrees to get married.

She didn't know that Jia Rong was not good enough for Zhuxi county lord, but Jia Zhen looked down on her if her family status was low, and she didn't like her if her family status was high. Finally, a county lord fell from the sky, even if she fell into the palace The concubine's daughter, that is also the palace, if they want to get married, it is giving them face, and it is absolutely impossible to refuse.

What can she do?

I can only promise to run around in order to do my best. Although it is thankless, it can still pass anyway.

But that's all, Jia Zhen wants to attack her two younger sisters, she must not sit idly by, even if the younger sister brought by her stepmother, it will be named their You family's surname, and it is their family who lost Man, her third younger sister has been shrewd and pungent since she was a child. She really got into the Ningguo Mansion, and she will only suffer later.

She took a deep breath, and she was desperate. When Ruan Qing was still confused, she wiped the corner of her eyes, her eyes turned red, and she quickly knelt down: "I beg the old lady to make the decision for me!"

Zhang was startled, Jia Cong almost slipped from her arms, the child burst into tears instantly, Ruan Qing frantically pulled out a handkerchief to wipe Jia Cong's face while winking at the girls behind her.

It's not without reason that Jia's mother called the little girl here today. The previous girls have left a few not long ago. Some of them were released when they were old, and some of them were arranged by the parents. Now there are not many girls in the main room, and they are smart. Ruan Qing's eyes were almost cramping, but few of them understood what she meant.

Mrs. Zhang made a prompt decision, took out candied fruit from her bosom, stuffed it into Jia Cong's mouth, and said angrily, "Take the young masters and ladies out soon, if you are startled, you are the only ones to ask!"

Yingchun was well-behaved, timidly saluted and took her girl out. Jia Cong was sobbing and sobbing, and was also taken into his arms and carried out.

Only Baoyu didn't know why, and was still yelling in the girl's arms, "Mother, I'm not afraid—"

Ruan Qingxin said that at this time, don't be shy, didn't you see that Mother Jia's face turned green?

The girls all took the opportunity to go out, and there were only four of them left in the room with different expressions.Youshi's expression looked really sad, Ruan Qing didn't quite understand, after getting along for nearly ten years, she also knew that Youshi was the kind of cautious and careful person, different from Li Wan in the later period who was a little ambitious, she knew everything No, just be cautious, submissive, live a life that is almost satisfied, don’t try your best in things, but don’t perfunctory others to get hold of them.

Youshi sobbed and said: "...Old lady, it's not that I'm frivolous, but I really can't live on. Those two girls in my family are like jewels, but they are girls from a good family anyway. If it gets out, how should my father rest in peace under Nine Springs..."

Ruan Qing was greatly shocked.
