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

Liu Mei has been thinking all night, how to convince her parents, never agree to the Qian family's marriage proposal.

But she didn't know what to do - because she was not familiar with Liu's father, she couldn't figure out the other party's way, how much he could think about her daughter, and what kind of words would be moved by him.

Thinking about these things, Liu Mei didn't sleep well, and heard noises outside, so she put on her clothes and went out to watch, just in time Qingwen caught a cold and caught the wind.With an idea, Liu Mei took out the jar of old ginger soup that her mother had boiled, found a small stove to heat it up, and poured it down for Qingwen.

Baoyu also ordered Qingwen to just lie down next to the smoked cage and rest, and ordered Sheyue to tuck her in the quilt, saying that it was enough to sweat hot all over.

The next morning, when Qingwen got up, she really felt much lighter on her body, and there were no major symptoms, so Qingwen thanked Liu Mei solemnly for the first time, and promised to tie her a waistband when she was free. .Baoyu Liumei and others just told Qingwen to take care of her life and not to work hard.

Liu Mei kept Ping'er's instructions in mind, went out early in the morning, deliberately left her own door unlocked, only concealed it, and then came to the small kitchen.

When it was almost noon, Ping'er came to look for Liu Mei, smiled and said to her: "The incident yesterday is settled."

When Liu Mei heard Ping'er talk about it, there were some twists and turns in that incident: she was not sure at first, and she didn't know Si'er's role in the whole thing—but it turned out that Si'er was a ruthless character.

This Miss Si'er went to look for Ping'er this morning and told Ping'er that Zhui'er, who lived with her, went to Luxue Nunnery that day and stole Ping'er's bracelet by taking advantage of people's unsuspecting. Secretly hid in Liumei's room, and planned to take the things out to sell after two days when the wind would be quieter.But later, Zhuang'er changed her mind and wanted to frame Liu Mei altogether, so she pretended to be messing with Si'er and went into Liu Mei's room, but she didn't find the shrimp beard bracelet in Liu Mei's room. Hei swallowed the bracelet all by himself.

After hearing this long series of stories, Liu Mei's expression was very exciting.

These four sons actually denounced the two of them at once, not only the first Zhuang'er, but also her.

Ping'er smiled, and said: "So I persuaded Si'er to go back, and just told her to talk about Zhui'er, and go back to your house to look for it again. In this way, Musk Moon and I can meet this incident just in time. Send it out."

Liu Mei also smiled, and replied: "So Si'er went."

Ping'er glanced at her appreciatively, nodded and said: "Yes, when Musk Moon and I went to your house, Zhui'er was rummaging around in your room, and we blocked her. Musk Moon called her on the spot Mother came in and took him away."

"Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhui'er suddenly yelled out, saying that Si'er asked her to do these things, and that if Si'er hadn't reminded her, she would never have thought of hiding things in your house, deliberately framing and harming you. you."

Liu Mei felt speechless, but she maintained the basic quality of a listener, and asked obediently: "What happened next?"

Ping'er didn't speak, just sighed.

"Sister Qingwen knows about this?"

Ping'er nodded, "Qingwen's hot temper was originally hidden from her, but Zhui'er was too noisy, crying and screaming, Qingwen heard it, and she didn't get any good results when she turned around."

Liu Mei imagined it out of thin air, and felt that Zhui'er must have suffered a lot.

"Later, Musk Moon called Si'er's mother to come in, and found an excuse to send Si'er away. It happened that the two of Si'er's mothers met Bao Erye on the road, and they cried for a long time. In the end, Musk Moon and I I still had to explain the cause and effect to Master Bao clearly, and finally drove Sier out, it was Master Bao who nodded... So, Meier, I'm sorry... I didn't do any of the things I promised you arrive."

Liu Mei couldn't help it, but she could only turn around and comfort Ping'er, "You can't say that, Sister Ping'er, now that everything has been investigated, your things have been found, and you have given me justice. The other thing...you have already Do your best."

Liu Mei felt a little helpless in her heart, as expected, the changes she wanted to make, no matter how small, could always be "corrected" without knowing it.

But it's good to teach Baoyu to know about this matter, at least he will no longer simply judge women's moral character by whether they are married or not--unmarried girls may not all have pearls in their homes, and married women and mothers may also It's not all fisheye.

As for Qingwen, Liu Mei can only say that since she still has the strength to beat and scold Zhui'er, she must be fine.

"By the way, Mei'er," Ping'er suddenly remembered something, and casually mentioned it to Liu Mei, "Do you know a family named Qian who also works in our house?"

When Liu Mei heard the surname "Qian", she was shocked immediately.

"I just want to remind you that last time a woman in charge, her husband's family name was Qian, came in to kowtow to our grandfather and grandmother. I just listened to it, and it seemed that you were mentioned."

Liu Mei was in a daze: The Qian family actually asked Jia Lian and Sister Feng for her sake?

"Lian Er | What does grandma say?" Liu Mei hurriedly pulled Ping'er and asked carefully.

"The lady in charge is the sister of Aunt Zhao, the second room. Naturally, grandma doesn't want to see her. Our master doesn't care much. Let me remind you, if you have any plans in your family, you should hurry up and make arrangements, and don't let others take advantage of it for nothing."

Liu Mei wanted to cry a little: "Me? I'm still young, and I have an older sister. Naturally, my parents want to keep me for two more years. Naturally, I have no plans right now!"

Ping'er nodded understandingly, "Since that's the case, I will naturally tell my grandma, and ask her not to promise anything easily. However, with our grandfather, it's not sure, so you have to tell your family."

Liu Mei quickly nodded, expressing that she already knew about it, and solemnly thanked Ping'er for the information, otherwise, the Qian family was doing something outside, but she would still be kept in the dark.

It seems that the matter of stabilizing Liu's father is the top priority and the most important thing.

After noon, Liu Mei urged her mother, mother and daughter, to tidy up in the small kitchen and hurry home.

Mother Liu naturally prepared a lot of Liu's father's favorite dishes early on, and some dishes were specially prepared for Liu Wu'er. They put them all in boxes and brought them back to the Liu family's own yard in the back street of Rongning.

Because Liu's father was away on errands all year round, Liu's mother and Liu Mei worked in the small kitchen of the Grand View Garden all year round, and Liu Wu'er lived with Zhang's aunt, so this courtyard of Liu's family was empty all year round and no one lived there.

At this time, the family of four came back, and everyone acted together. First, they tidied and cleaned the house, and Liu's father took out the clothes and various things specially brought for Wu'er and Liu Mei.

Liu Mei experienced it for a while, and felt that this cheap father was actually not difficult to get along with, but he seemed to prefer Wu'er more - the clothes and gadgets brought to Wu'er were better than those given to Liu Mei, and he also brought a lot of supplements to Wu'er Papa Liu seems to cherish Wu'er, a daughter, very much.

Although she seemed to be neglected, Liu Mei could understand Father Liu.

There are only two daughters at the head of the Liu family. Although Liu Wu'er is the fifth child in the Liu family, she is actually the first child of the Liu family. In addition, she has not been healthy since she was a child, so she is not as tough as Liu Mei. It is human nature for Liu's father to love him more.

But Liu Wu'er was indeed closer to Liu's father, and sometimes the father and daughter would sit aside and whisper.

Liu Mei would sigh at this kind of time, sighing secretly in her heart, a little helpless - after all, she is a dresser, not the original owner; even the original owner was born out of thin air, not in the original book; because she is not familiar enough, she really did It's impossible to get so close to Father Liu right from the start.

However, having said that, Father Liu is really kind to his family.

Liu Mei looked at her father, who took advantage of Mother Liu's inattention, and surrounded her from behind, and then lightly put a golden hairpin inlaid with gems on Mother Liu's hair.When Mother Liu saw herself wearing this hairpin in the mirror, her face was naturally happy and shy, she couldn't help but slapped Father Liu's hand away, and angrily said: "No, it's just a waste of money!"

Liu Mei: Huh...so envious!

Fortunately, she also has her own projects that she is good at.

Unable to intervene in front of Liu's father, Liu Mei went to clean up the stove alone, and then put the "full altar incense" that Liu's mother had prepared in advance on the stove, and simmered it over a low fire.

The irresistible fragrance wafted out like this, so Liu's father came in, stretched out his hand to touch the two eyebrows on Liu Mei's eyebrows, looked at Liu Mei's pretty eyebrows that had already opened, and said softly: "My eyebrows have really grown up. Already!"

In the evening, neighbors, aunts and aunts all came to celebrate the reunion of Liu's family, and dispersed one after another. Finally, it was time for the four members of Liu's family to sit down for a "reunion dinner".

Liu's father took a sip of his wine, looked at his especially beautiful wife under the lamp, and chuckled softly twice, which made Liu's mother roll his eyes at him.Father Liu could only cough twice, and looked at the two daughters sitting opposite.

"Mei'er has been working in the mansion for a long time." Liu's father said, it was just the beginning.

"A few days ago, Xing'er's father from the second family came to me and said that he had a close relative, but he said it wasn't Wu'er, but Meier."

Uh——Liu Mei couldn't help stretching out her hand to wipe the sweat, but Liu Wu'er who was beside her also turned her face and stared at her squarely.

Now Liu Mei was even more embarrassed, not knowing what to answer.

"I know, if Xing'er's father wants to say it, he will definitely be talking about Brother Huai from the Qian family." Liu's mother stood aside, holding a chopstick of vegetables and putting them all in Liu's father's bowl. "But no, Mei'er doesn't like him."

When Father Liu heard about it, he put down his chopsticks and said in surprise, "Mei'er has seen Brother Huai? And...don't like him?"

Liu Mei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, really not knowing how to reply.

She was not sure in this world, a small family like her Liu family, with servants, could see how serious this "order from parents, words from matchmaker" was.

However, in the end Liu Mei nodded, expressing her dislike for the little round-faced Qian Huai very much.

"Father Xing'er said that brother from the Qian family is very good. Could it be that he is fooling me?" Father Liu said, putting down his chopsticks, a little excited.

"Eat, eat!" Liu's mother urged, and Liu's father immediately picked up the chopsticks again, only to hear his wife whisper in his ear, "No matter how good it is, if Meier doesn't like it, can we still be strong without drinking water?" Can't get it right?"

Liu Mei breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Mother Liu in her heart: she really is her real mother!

"Besides, Wu'er hasn't been found yet, Mei'er is at this age, why are we in a hurry?" Mother Liu said leisurely.

Liu Mei put a piece of pork ribs into mother's bowl very dog-leggedly, and seeing the situation on the dinner table, she hurriedly put another piece into Liu's father's bowl.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Liu Mei's precious sister, Liu Wu'er, spoke lightly.

"I've heard some gossip recently," Liu Wu'er put the chopsticks by her hand, looked up at her parents, but didn't look at Liu Mei, "so I think, if someone comes to propose marriage, it will be good for Mei'er and our family." It’s not a bad thing, either.”
