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

After finishing preparations for Sister Feng's funeral, the weather was already very cold and the end of the year was approaching.

The head of the Rong Mansion lost his vitality because of the loss of Jia Lian and Sister Feng, and even Jia Amnesty fell ill. Mrs. Xing was jumping around trying to take power, but the old people left behind by Sister Feng were all in positions. , only listen to Ping'er's words, and the only loyal masters are Sister Qiao and Hu Geer who is still in the infancy.Mrs. Xing had nowhere to start, so she had to close the door and sulk.

After taking care of Sister Feng's funeral affairs, Ping'er was determined to keep the chastity, and only took her sister and brother to live peacefully in the backyard without contending with the world.However, Sister Feng Yu Wei is still alive, and people respect Ping'er very much, so the backyard of the long house can also enjoy a safe and sound life.

The second room looked more beaming.

Baoyu and Nan'an Junwang's boat was delayed a little on the way, so they couldn't make it back years ago.Mrs. Wang was very anxious, so she came to pay a visit to Concubine Nan'an in person. With her old man's permission, she brought a lot of winter clothes and road vegetables to Baoyu.

Soon there was good news from the palace, saying that Concubine Xiande was pregnant with a dragon fetus.Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were very happy. They each made up according to their grades and went to the palace to congratulate them.Mrs. Wang stayed in Fengzao Palace for a while longer, and the mother and daughter had some personal words.

However, because of the concubine Xiande's pregnancy, Yuan Chun had no plans to visit her relatives during the New Year's Eve.Since the Rong Mansion had no major event like visiting relatives, and because it had cut off contact with the Ning Mansion, in order to save money, Tete released a group of servants before the New Year's Eve.

Because the Liu family had been taken care of by Sister Feng in advance, they got the certificate of release, so they took advantage of the opportunity to go out with everyone.

Before leaving, Mother Liu took Liu Mei to see Aunt Chen, and finally asked her what she meant.According to Liu's mother's idea, if the Chen family's aunt is willing, when the Liu family is resettled outside, they will naturally bring the Chen family with them.

Unexpectedly, when Mother Liu went, she was ridiculed by Aunt Chen's family.

"Yo yo, sister, you are so stupid!" Chen's aunt is especially good at ridiculing people, "Now that girl Wu'er has almost found the position of aunt in Bao Erye's room, if brother-in-law hadn't resigned from the management of the house earlier Errand, how beautiful is it now?"

Seeing Mother Liu's expression of fear, Aunt Chen hurried up.

"I said sister, what are you still begging to do now? Wu'er is working in the garden, so you don't want to stay in the mansion and continue to take care of her? After Wu'er has been taken care of, Wu'er has to be promoted in the future, so naturally I will give it to you." Your face. Sister, don't be so stupid."

Mother Liu said flatly, "Since it's already been decided, I don't want to change it. Besides, your brother-in-law has rented a small yard outside, and we've already found a place to stay."

Father Liu has indeed rented a small yard between the inner city and the outer city. The location is not too good, but fortunately it is not too noisy, and the yard is not too big, but it is enough for each person to have a house—— Son, Father Liu insisted on saving a room for her.

When Mother Liu saw that she couldn't talk to Aunt Chen's, she stopped talking and went straight to see Wu'er in the Grand View Garden.

Now the Grand View Garden is showing signs of decay. In the cold winter, thousands of trees are withered, and there is a scene of decay everywhere.Looking at Liu Mei from a distance, it is nothing but the big clump of green bamboos in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, which is still full of vitality and greenery in such a severe winter.

The mother and daughter of the Liu family came to Yihong Courtyard together to look for Liu Wu'er.

They only said to the public that they had to leave the mansion because their superiors let people out of the mansion and hit the Liu family.

When Xiren heard about it, he couldn't help showing envy, and said: "It's good to go out of the house, after all, you can be free."

Liu Mei knew that Xiren was not a son of the family, but was sold into the mansion to be a girl because of the poverty of the family.I just don't know how sincere Xiren said. After all, she knew that the Hua family had wanted to take Xiren out, but Xiren was in love with Baoyu and refused to leave the house.

But Mother Liu pulled Wu'er, and the mother and daughter closed the door to talk.

Liu Mei stood guard outside, all she knew was that the mother and daughter had been talking together for a long time, and finally Mother Liu couldn't hold back and cried.

When the door was opened, Liu Wu'er was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing heavily to Mother Liu, and only said: "Father and mother's great kindness, Wu'er can't repay it in this life, so I will repay it in the next life."

Mother Liu wiped away her tears and said, "You take care of your things. In case something goes wrong in the future, you now know where our family lives, so you can come directly to find your parents..."

Saying that, Mother Liu took Liu Mei and left together.

The two walked a long distance, Liu Mei turned her head and saw Liu Wu'er still kneeling behind them, with a very reluctant expression on her face.

But even though he was reluctant, this Liu Wu'er was determined to continue messing around in Baoyu's courtyard like this.Liu Mei began to wonder secretly: This Liu Wu'er has been hit again and again, but now he still made up his mind to go down this road, I'm afraid it's not because of his paranoid temperament, and he just wants to climb high branches. up.

"Mother, I'll go to Xiaoxiang Hall to see Miss Lin again." Liu Mei greeted her mother, there was no reason why she didn't go to see Daiyu before she left.

At this time, there were shadows everywhere in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and there was no one there. Only the parrot saw Liu Mei and suddenly said, "Zijuan, Zijuan, the girl is here, hit the curtain, hit the curtain..."

When Zicuckoo heard it, she quickly opened the curtain and came out, hissed at the parrot, and said, "The girl just fell asleep, what are you making a fuss about, you flat-haired bastard..."

As soon as she turned around and saw Liu Mei, Zicuckoo rushed up to meet her and said, "Mei'er, I heard that you are going out of the garden."

Seeing Zijuan, Liu Mei also felt sad, she just whispered: "Sister Zijuan, is Miss Lin feeling better these days?"

What she was referring to was Daiyu's tears for no reason.

Zijuan shook her head and said: "Obviously I have heard the letter from Master Bao, but recently I have been crying more and more fiercely, sometimes it is even good, and if I don't pay attention, the tears will roll down."

Liu Mei secretly guessed that it was the cause and effect of the tears, so she could only persuade Zijuan to relax, and then left her home after moving out to Zijuan, saying: "If there is anything wrong I can help, find someone to pass me a letter, it must come from the fire and the water."

This is her affection as a Dai fan.

Zijuan sighed, and said, "Can I still trust you? For so many years, I have been thinking about the girl's... Meier, this heart, the girl and I, both remember."

As she said that, Zijuan looked sad, and said in a low voice: "Recently, I always feel that something is going on. The whole mansion is hiding it from us. That little girl sometimes says things that are on the rise. As soon as he saw me walking over, he refused to say anything and ran away. Xue Yan also said the same..."

Liu Mei's heart skipped a beat: the whole mansion is hiding the truth from the Xiaoxiang Hall, could it be, could it be that Baoyu is getting married?

But when I think about it, Baoyu will not be able to enter Beijing for at least a month. I didn't say that when this family is busy with the New Year, Jia's family will marry Zhang Luo to a son who has not returned to Beijing.

She was suspicious in her heart, but she thought, fortunately, Daiyu's mood is open-minded now, and there may not be too many personal relationships between her and Baoyu.So Liu Mei comforted Zijuan and said, "Sister Zijuan, anyway, I haven't heard anything in the mansion recently. But sister, you must control yourself first, don't be fooled by any rumors, first let yourself Messed up."

Zijuan thought it made sense, nodded solemnly, and called Xueyan to come out. The three said goodbye together and cherished each other.

For a while, Liu Mei left the Grand View Garden with her mother, and when they reached the gate of Jia's mansion, Liu's mother handed back the badge for entering and exiting, and left with Liu Mei.

On New Year's Eve, when the whole family was reunited, the Liu family was a little depressed and looked rather gloomy.

Father Liu has found a new job, and he will go on a long trip after the Lantern Festival.Liu Mei had already told Xiaohong that she was planning to visit Hongshun Building after the new year and find a job with a lucrative career.Mother Liu is planning to set up a small food stall by herself and start a small business.

Originally, the future of the Liu family was very good, and there might be a prosperous year in the coming year, but because there was one person missing at the reunion dinner table.The family of three are not in high spirits.

Father Liu sipped his wine and said while drinking: "At the beginning, the plan to leave the mansion was for the sake of the two daughters, but now after leaving the mansion, one daughter is still in the mansion... What, what is this?"

Liu's mother comforted her husband: "Her own body deed has been kept by her, and she can come out whenever she wants. Girls always grow up, and you can't keep her by your side forever."

But Liu's father was still unhappy, "In the past, the whole family gathered together to celebrate the New Year, but now that one is missing, it's really like a missing piece in my heart."

Mother Liu immediately put a chicken leg into Father Liu's bowl, and said, "In the future, both of your daughters will get married, and during the Chinese New Year, we will be together as the old couple, and we will hate each other. Is that what you mean?"

Father Liu didn't dare, he quickly apologized, "My wife, how dare I?"

As he spoke, he took the chicken legs to his wife's bowl again.

Liu Mei watched the two of them holding the same chicken leg back and forth, she felt amused secretly, and lowered her head to pick up the rice, feeling a little reluctance in her heart.In this world, we have been together for so long, and when we leave in the future, we will definitely feel sad.

Thinking of this, I suddenly heard Mother Liu comforting Father Liu, saying: "Today, my five sons have told me that the marriage of the second master Bao has been settled. Tomorrow's first day happens to be an auspicious day, and it's also my mother's birthday. Palace The empress in the palace will make a decree to bestow a marriage. Before the second master Bao returns home, he will release the small Ding, and when the second master arrives home, he will enlarge the Ding to choose auspiciousness and become a gift."

Liu Mei: ...What?

Father Liu was also very concerned, "Then... what kind of temperament is this second grandma, will she treat us five children harshly?"

In a hurry, he put down his chopsticks and said, "If you are a powerful one, hurry up and ask Wu'er to come out, it's not like we can't afford a girl."

Mother Liu glared at her husband, and sighed, "It must be a powerful one, but it may not be obvious to treat the servants harshly. This girl also lived in the garden, her temperament is very calm, and many people praised her at the time."

The chopsticks in Liu Mei's hand were unconsciously put down, and she heard her mother whispering in her ear: "It's the second wife's nephew, the big girl from the Xue family."

The golden and jade marriage finally came true because of Yuanchun's will.
