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

When Liu Mei returned to Yihong Courtyard, she felt that the atmosphere was not right.

At this time, it was already past noon, the sun was slightly slanting, and the maids, big and small, who had woken up from their afternoon naps, had already got up and started to work.

But Liu Mei walked all the way back to Yihong courtyard, but no one greeted her.Everyone seemed to be busy with their own business, no one noticed Liu Mei coming in.But Liu Mei felt that everyone was staring at him strangely, and handed them over to her one after another.

As soon as she entered the back hall of Yihong Courtyard, Liu Mei met Qingwen head-on.Qingwen sneered and said, "Mei'er, I heard you climbed a tall branch?"

As soon as Liu Mei heard it, she knew that the news about Jia Mu giving her the "double portion" had spread.

Before she could answer, Qingwen raised her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly, pointed at her with her halberd on her waist and said, "It's been a long time since I went out, and the tea stove is not burning, and the yard work is not done. Put aside all the things in your own job, and just go elsewhere to find those Qiao Zong'er?"

Beside Qingwen, Qiuwen added in a dark voice, "Today's tea stove, Qingwen remembered it and made it for you..."

It was only then that Liu Mei remembered that it was indeed her turn to burn the tea stove today.

Liu Mei really felt sorry for not doing what she was supposed to do, she just wanted to say thank you to Qingwen, but Qingwen choked her back: "You are really capable, you have been out of this garden from now on, and have been in Gaozhi'er for a long time. It's only up to you!" As he said, he shook his face and left, Liu Mei didn't have time to thank or apologize.

She pursed her lips, and Liu Mei went back to her room on her own, and as soon as she entered, she saw Si'er and Zhui'er, two other little girls from Yihong Courtyard, in her room.

"You...what are you doing?"

Liu Mei opened her eyes wide, seeing that Si'er and Zhui'er had already rolled up her bedding and thrown it aside, and had also packed up Xiao Hong's original bed.An empty box left by her former roommate Xiao Hong and Liu Mei's own box were dragged out and left at the door.

"Big Sister Hua said that this room will be empty in the future. Our place is too crowded, please move here!"

Liu Mei sneered: "Si'er, isn't it just you and Zhui'er who live in your house?"

What nonsense, they are all the same standard double room!

Zhui'er next to him said honestly and bluntly: "Our room has a bad orientation. Since sister Xiren said you won't be able to live anymore, why can't we move here?"

A wave of ignorant anger rose in Liu Mei's heart - but it was just that Mother Jia said that she would give her a few pennies a month, but her salary was still hanging in Yihong Courtyard!

No wonder she doesn't have any sense of belonging in this Yihong courtyard!She hasn't been assigned to the Xiaoxiang hall yet, and the Yihong courtyard just kicked her out with such white eyebrows and red eyes?

This Hua Xiren——Liu Mei felt that her molars were creaking. She would rather be like Qingwen, who would be angry at her if she was dissatisfied, than to have a daily price like Hua Xiren behind her back. play dirty.

In Liu Mei's room, the two sides were in a stalemate, when suddenly a soft voice from outside said, "Is sister Liu Mei there?"

Liu Mei had heard this voice two or three times, and knew it was Ping'er, the housekeeper next to Sister Feng.It's just that she didn't expect that such a busy person as Ping'er would go to Yihong Courtyard to look for her in person.

"It's Ping'er!" Xiren appeared out of nowhere, and when he saw Ping'er, he went up to hug her arm affectionately.

"I'll just give you a word." Ping'er was also very happy to see Xiren. "On the first day of the new year, our grandma invited Miss Lin and the others to go to the theater together. Because Chunxian had something to do at home, grandma went Light Liumei and join Zijuan and the others to accompany Miss Lin to go out."

When Ping'er said this, many people in Yihong Courtyard were listening.The way everyone looked at Liu Mei was different in an instant.

"Sister Liu Mei, you just want... to go out!" Ping'er had just taken a step forward, but Zhui'er had already rushed forward enviously, and grabbed Liu Mei.

When the girls of Jia's mansion go out to watch the theater, the maids they serve are all lucky enough to follow them out to see the world.But no one in Yihong Courtyard has this honor - who asked their masters to take their servants when they go out?

Zhui'er grabbed Liu Mei, Si'er immediately turned over her own purse, counted the big money in it, and immediately said: "Mei'er, you must do me this favor, go to the rouge shop on Huashi South Street and give me some money." Some gouache and hair oil..."

Before he finished speaking, Si'er looked up, and immediately saw Liu Mei was looking at her with a little mockery, her lips curled up...and the boxes and cages in her room.

Si'er was immediately embarrassed.Thinking about the rouge and gouache on Huashi South Street, and Liu Mei's future that seemed to have climbed to Gao Zhi'er, Si'er hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Mei'er, what are you worried about? We are here to clean up your house, now It looks messy, and it will be refreshing after a while."

Zhui'er also nodded and said, "Yes, yes, if my sister passes by the embroidery shop in Luogu Lane..."

Seeing this situation, Xiren was speechless and helpless, so he took Ping'er's hand and sent her outside Yihong courtyard.

In this way, Liu Mei not only kept her single room, but also brought a long shopping list and went out with Daiyu.However, she only responded ambiguously to other people's purchase requests, but she still planned to go to Qingwen herself to bring some to Qingwen.

On the first day of the first day of the lunar new year, the weather was hot like a raging fire.

Liu Mei, along with Zijuan and Xueyan, accompanied Daiyu to a chariot with green covers and red tassels and eight treasures.Zijuan was reminded by Liu Mei that she was worried about Daiyu's heat stroke, so she specially prepared herbal tea and medicine to cool off the heat and took it with her.

Even so, Daiyu's car stopped halfway, Zijuan and Liu Mei got out of the car, looked around, and ordered the driver to move the cart to a pavilion-like tree next to the official road to rest for a while.

Together with Zijuan and Xueyan, they hurriedly opened some gaps in the curtains on the four sides of the eight-treasure car, so that Daiyu could feel a little cool and breathable while driving.

Liu Mei poured the heat-relief drink she had prepared in advance from the small silver pot she was carrying into a thin porcelain cup, and handed it to Daiyu.

This fennel drink can be regarded as medicine or tea. When the heat is hot, take fennel, silver flower, forsythia, lentil flower, and Magnolia officinalis, and fry them in water instead of tea to relieve the heat.

Daiyu took the porcelain cup and drank it, trying to smile at Liu Mei: "Mei'er, I don't need to bother adding sugar in the future. I've been taking medicine since I knew how to eat and drink. It's a bit bitter, it's really not a big deal."

Earlier, Liu Mei had tried this fragrant mustard drink by herself, but after hesitating for a long time, she still added a little sugar to avoid Daiyu's bitter taste.Seeing that Daiyu's complexion improved slightly after drinking, Liu Mei felt relieved, and followed Zijuan down from the cart.

The two of them waited by the road together, watching the sedan cars of Jia's mansion passing by one by one.Suddenly, a sedan chair for four people came and stopped beside Daiyu's cart.Seeing that it was Sister Feng's sedan chair, Zijuan knew that Ping'er and others might not be nearby, so she hurried up to help them down. It was Sister Feng who came to visit Daiyu.

Seeing Sister Feng's arrival, Daiyu felt a little sorry, and said softly, "Second sister-in-law Lian, I'm really tired!" As she spoke, she struggled to sit up, trying to urge the coachman not to delay and go on.

But Sister Feng held Daiyu down and said, "What is there to worry about? If you really get burned by the sun, it will be my fault!"

Liu Mei watched from the side, feeling something unusual in her heart.According to Sister Feng's temperament, shouldn't she be far ahead at the moment, following the sedan chair of the old lady Jia Mu, so that she can show her face in front of Jia Mu at any time?Why does it seem like they came here to burn Lin Daiyu's cold stove?

As soon as Liu Mei concentrated, a thought suddenly popped up in her heart, should she... should also communicate with this colleague who shoulders the same mission as her?

"There is no direct communication between different quest lines!" As soon as she thought about it, the system went online immediately with a "ding" and sent her a warning push, "Otherwise, you will be returned to level 0 immediately, anonymous helper !"

"But now there is an intersection between the two quest lines, but direct communication is not allowed... Your world is designed to have problems!" Liu Mei protested to the system confidently.

"You can observe the direction of the other party's quest line and make your choices accordingly; the same is true for the other party. No problem!"

Liu Mei was startled, and glanced at the eight-treasure cart, "That means we can use each other?"

The system responded immediately: "You can say that!"

Liu Mei was solemn, she really never thought that she could still play like this - but thinking about it carefully, this kind of mutual observation and use actually started a long time ago.

"This—let me say, Big Brother System... Big Brother Shiqing!" Liu Mei lowered her figure, "It's not been a day or two since we two have known each other, can you reveal a little bit..."

"Can't!"

Liu Mei was a little frustrated when she was flatly rejected, but she still didn't give up, "You always know what I'm thinking, and you must know where..."

"Not the same system!"

Shiqing interrupted and responded instantly, and then there was the sound of the system going offline immediately.

What?Liu Mei was very surprised, isn't it a system?In other words, Sister Wang Xifeng Wang also has a portable system, and has an independent and clear system boundary with her own world situation system?

I don't know who the prototype of Sister Feng's system is.

Subconsciously, she turned her head to look at Wang Xifeng in the eight-treasure carriage, and saw that the other party was slightly pursing his lips, and with a pair of cold and bright eyes, he was also staring at Liu Mei...behind him.

Liu Mei turned her head and saw that the drivers of Jia's mansion on the official road had almost left.In the distance, the smoke and dust are still billowing, and the guard of honor of the deacon of another family can be vaguely seen coming slowly with great fanfare.

When he got there, Liu Mei saw a few big characters shining brightly on the guard of honor: Beijing County Prince's Mansion.
