[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden

After Baoyu and Tanchun left the capital, Father Liu finished his errands in the south and returned to Beijing to pay his errands in the mansion.

When Liu's father returned to Beijing, he first saw Liu Wu'er who had been frightened, and saw that she had just recovered from a serious illness, and now she was still pale and breathless, and she had to pant three times after saying a word, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

Then Mother Liu and Liu Mei discussed with Father Liu about asking Endian to leave the government.Mother Liu was kind enough to drag Aunt Chen to discuss with her.The four of them gathered in the small courtyard of the Liu family and discussed carefully, only avoiding Liu Wu'er who was convalescing in his room.

But the aunt of the Chen family didn't feel too cold when she heard the Liu family's plan, she just smiled and said: "Sister and brother-in-law are too careful, this time it's just my wife sending some old maids out. Brother-in-law is doing a good job now Yes, why did you leave the mansion?"

Mother Liu stared, "Have you forgotten that you were almost bitten out and kicked out together?"

The aunt of the Chen family had already healed the scar and forgot the pain, so she said immediately: "What's the matter? When we gamble again, we will avoid people and play a few games secretly to satisfy our greed."

Mother Liu was so angry that she couldn't speak when she saw that her younger sister was not up to the mark.

"But sister, you really don't need to ask for grace to leave the house for these things!" The aunt of the Chen family saw that her sister's expression was not right, and finally became puzzled, "We have long been used to being the lady in charge of a wealthy family, once we go out by ourselves , without the momentum of the main family to rely on... Sister, that kind of life is not as simple as you imagined."

Mother Liu looked at one husband, and explained to her sister patiently: "The head of our family has already found a job outside, running errands for merchants, which is similar to what he manages in the mansion now, and the money he takes to support us The whole family will be enough, but it is hard for him to run outside all year round."

"Mei'er and I have looked at several residences in the city. What I mean is, whether it is renting or buying, we should first have a place to stay outside, and then ask for grace from above, and ask for a document to release us. ..."

She had just said this when she suddenly heard a noise in the inner room, turned her head to look, and said in surprise, "Wu'er?"

I saw Liu Wu'er coming out holding the door, standing in the hall blankly, staring at his parents and relatives.

"Mother... What you are talking about is that our family asks for the grace of the mansion, so we can go out and live on our own?"

Liu Wu'er had just recovered from a serious illness, and was extremely thin. Her pair of almond eyes opened wide with a slap on her face, making her look extraordinarily large.

"I'm not going out..."

After Liu Wu'er finished speaking, she stroked her chest and coughed twice.

"If you want me to get out of this mansion, unless I die!" Wu'er leaned on the door frame and bent over coughing.

Liu's father and Liu's mother stood up at the same time, and Liu's father hurried to help Wu'er, "Wu'er, everything is easy to discuss."

The aunt of the Chen family next to her also got up, ready to leave and run away: "Yes, yes, sister, brother-in-law, you can discuss it slowly... What I mean is that you want to go out of the house, first go out and have a look, if it is good Well, I will also bring our family to join you..."

Mrs. Chen and Zhang were extremely cunning, and made this point clear, excused that it was getting late, and went back to her home, leaving the Liu family in the yard to discuss with them.

"Fifth!" Mother Liu's face turned dark, she had long been dissatisfied with the eldest daughter, but seeing her sickness, she had been holding back, and now she finally burst out. "Is there anything you can't think of in this mansion? You know..."

Liu Wu'er lowered her head and let out a sad laugh: "...Even my wife said I was a complete disaster, didn't I?"

Mother Liu said with a straight face, "So you've heard about it too."

Father Liu has always been a very soft-hearted father. Seeing Wu'er like this now, he quickly helped her up and said softly, "Wu'er...your mother, this is also for your sake. Parents are willing to throw away the habit of doing it for so many years. I got an errand, and I went out from this mansion just thinking that in the future, you two sisters will no longer have to live the life of such people under the eaves, and you will not be beaten and scolded at every turn. When you two get married in the future, you can also be upright The wind and the scenery..."

When Liu's father received the letter from the family, he knew that Liu Wu'er was almost beaten for forty boards and sold, so he was already terrified.

Liu Wu'er heard her father say this, her heart was sore, but she suddenly shook her father's hand, shrank her body back, and said with a smile: "Everyone points to my daughter to climb a high branch and cross the Ming Road, then That's called uprightness, that's called scenery, but our family..."

As she said that, Liu Wu'er burst into tears with a smile, and turned her head to look at Mother Liu, "Mother, I know you dislike me for being useless, dislike me for losing face in front of my wife, and dislike me for causing trouble for you..."

"Mei'er, you also dislike me as a sister, think I'm not half capable, and drag you down everywhere, don't you?"

"Since you want Grace to be released, then don't take me with you!" Liu Wu'er became excited, and after crying, she coughed violently, "Since you don't consider me to be part of the Liu family, why do you still block my way? ?”

Mother Liu patted the table as soon as she stretched out her hand, "Wu'er——"

"What do you think our family is asking for grace to leave the mansion? Your father turned down the chance to be promoted to stay in Beijing, and your sister is currently eating three people, and she is willing to give up all of them. Wu'er, if it wasn't for you... ...if it wasn't for you..."

Liu Mei hurriedly went to pull her mother, as soon as she heard what her mother said, she felt terrible.

Liu Wu'er hates being favored by others the most, because it will make her feel more inferior and resist.And what Mother Liu is talking about right now is exactly this.

"You still dare to mention the shame in front of your wife? Have you forgotten that if your sister hadn't helped you, you would have been sold to nowhere. Even if there was no incident about Fu Lingshuang last time, this time, Miss Qing, Siqi, Fangguan and the others... have all been kicked out. If you weren't recovering from illness outside, you would be like them now, do you know?"

Mother Liu said, both angry and sad, two lines of tears rolled down, and she said in a trembling voice: "...In the final analysis, it is all mother's fault. It was mother who gave you such thoughts of climbing high branches... Conscience of heaven and earth, mother just wants you to live a lighter life, take it easy, mother never thought of making you so worried about earning that seat and name..."

Saying this, Mother Liu also covered her face and wept.

Father Liu's palms and backs were full of flesh, looking at his wife and daughter, he really didn't know who to persuade.

"Sister, you have to think clearly. If your wife said something like that, you won't be able to go back to Yihong Courtyard at all now, and you can't look down on those other errands. Even if you refuse to leave the house, you have to stay in the house." In the mansion, there is no other way out."

Liu Mei saw that her elder sister was stubborn, her parents didn't persuade her to move, so she had to speak up herself—to be honest, she didn't know what was wrong with her elder sister, she insisted on staying in Jia's mansion, she wanted to Go down with this wreck?

"Mei'er, I haven't tried it, so how do I know there is no way out?" Liu Wuer retorted with a pale face.

Liu Mei was furious, she really didn't know how to persuade this recalcitrant elder sister.

——Are you afraid that Jia's house will be ransacked in the future?When the house was raided, the slaves in the house were sold as property, okay?

These words have already rushed to the mouth, reason still prevailed, Liu Mei finally endured these words back.

"Father, mother, since parents are determined to leave the mansion, the daughter has nothing to say. The only thing my daughter wants is to ask my parents to act as if they never gave birth to me as a girl, and to let me fend for myself in the mansion." !"

Saying that, Liu Wu'er kowtowed three times to Liu's father and Liu's mother, stood up while holding the door frame, wiped the tears from her face, and ran out staggeringly.

Father Liu chased him out.

Mother Liu looked at Liu Mei who came over to persuade her with a blank face, and finally sighed, "It's all mother's fault!"

"Your sister has been stubborn since she was a child. If she wants something, even if Mother has already given it to you, as long as she wants it, she will definitely make trouble until the moment Mother takes it from you and hands it to her."

Liu Mei was also silent, and she also didn't understand why Liu Wu'er was so obsessed with the Grand View Garden, so obsessed that she could have such a place in the Grand View Garden regardless of face or even her life...

At this time, Liu's father came back from the outside and said, "Wu'er has gone to Chen's house. I secretly greeted my brother-in-law and asked my sister-in-law to take care of her for a few days. Just put your mind at ease and wait for everyone to calm down next time." , it won’t be too late to persuade her slowly.”

"Ah!" Mother Liu let out a long sigh, cheering up again.

"I will go to the master tomorrow to ask for grace. We are a family and we must stay together. There is no reason why the whole family leaves their citizenship and leave Wu'er alone in the mansion. I will pray for Wu'er together." Now, after the release of the paperwork, it will be useless for her to make a fuss."

This time Mother Liu made up her mind not to let Wu'er's temper mess with her.She kept her word and went to see Ping'er the next day.

When Ping'er heard about this, he felt a little embarrassed, rubbed his hands together and said, "Grandma...I'm afraid I can't take care of these things recently. mean?"

Mother Liu thanked her in a hurry.

But after several days in a row, there was no news from Ping'er.

Mother Liu also asked Lin Zhixiao's family in private, and Lin Zhixiao's family only said: "Normally, the superiors would not stop this kind of thing. But recently there are so many things, so delay it!"

There are indeed a lot of things going on in Jia's mansion recently. One is that Jia Zheng was dismissed as a poor student before, and now he will be able to return to Beijing to report on his work.Therefore, in addition to welcoming the second master, the whole Jia family also had to help with the management.

Second, Tanchun and Baoyu had already arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River along the canal at this time, and after a while they would go to sea and take a boat to the south.Mrs. Jia Muwang was very worried. She prayed before the Buddha every day and sent people back and forth to inquire about the news.

There is one more thing, it is a matter of relatives - the son of the Xue family, Xue Pan and Xue Wenqi, got married.

Liu Mei also listened to the gossip, and when she heard about the family background of Xue Pan's wife, she said "oh", thinking, why isn't this another Xia Jingui?
