The clever maid of the red mansion

However, on the side of Second Lai Lai, the eldest girl Feng Lianyu's dowry was basically prepared, and there was still nearly a year left, so she began to prepare needlework.

Because she loves her daughter, she doesn't want the two girls to do too much needlework, so she only lets the eldest girl embroider the wedding dress with peace of mind, and hand over the rest of the needlework to the subordinates.

I am busy every day, and I am in a good mood. Both girls are competitive. Not only are they outstanding in appearance, but also have a generous dowry. They also have a capable father. If they find a lover in the future, even if they have no brothers, they will naturally not be wronged. , with her usual teaching methods, when the daughters give birth to a son, the husband's family will have a firm foothold, and there will be a good day waiting for it.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, it was Lai's second grandma's birthday. She was 40 years old, and it was considered a full life. It was inevitable to invite a small show, and a few good friends and family members had a lot of fun.

The first day Mr. Feng came over, the whole family separated after talking. In the evening, it was inevitable to send those neat and tidy housekeepers to wait on them.In the early years, Second Grandma Lai did not expect Master Feng to be affectionate.

This time, she took off her hairpin and changed her clothes. Feeling a little upset, she dismissed the servant girl and leaned on the couch to take out a needle and thread to do a few stitches to calm down.

Mrs. Yang raised the curtain and came in, leaned close to Lai's second grandmother and whispered in her ear: "The little bitch went in to serve, but never came out again, the lights have already been turned off, and the others are on duty overnight, and some have been sent out, so there is no need to serve. "

Throwing down the work in her hand with a slap, the Second Mistress said bitterly: "I usually look at her with a bit of obscenity and crookedness, sure enough! I don't know what is good or bad! I really thought that if I climbed on the man's bed, the sky would be turned upside down. It's a dream!"

Mrs. Yang hurriedly said: "That's right, it's not grandma who has the final say in this mansion. It's not easy to be promoted after taking care of her. After being so stealthy, once the man's enthusiasm is over, he will make her plan for nothing. Three days and five days." , Who remembers that she is a red and green spring and autumn. If you want the old woman to say that, then you are a fool, grandma is very needless to be angry, it is not worth it."

Second Grandma Lai waved her hand wearily, "You don't have to comfort me, I've seen it through 800 years ago, men, it's common to see one and love the other, and it's common to like and dislike the old, and it's a fool to put all your heart on them. .It’s just coaxing me to have a good life. When my two daughters are married and have a firm footing, do you think I still spend so much energy trying to win him over!”

Hearing this, Mrs. Yang was busy and relieved: "Grandma doesn't need to say such frustrating words. The old lady looked at it coldly. Although the master said that women are superior... But he has nothing to say to grandma and the two girls. Just talk about today, and took this again. Dozens of hectares of Zhuangzi add makeup to the girl, and it is also very good for the second girl and grandma. I also secretly inquired about it. The first-born girl in the mansion over there is married, and the top day is only a matter of ten thousand dollars. It can't be done with our eldest girl. It’s even rarer than that.”

Unexpectedly, the second grandma sneered, "I don't know if it's rare or not. I just said that I put in this effort. You have been watching me all these years, and you don't say that you usually care about the little girl with a flat head and a full face. It's a waste of money." It’s not enough! Let’s talk about doing those immoral things for him. The girls and boys who have passed by in these years, if they don’t have a hundred, they will be fifty. After following him for more than 20 years, his old man has also been promoted, and he has received a lot of benefits. This idea of ​​our girls is just a drop in the bucket! Datou, why don’t you keep it for his son, do you really think I’m a fool? Don’t let me forgive you, Mr. Feng, he has schemes in his heart!”

Mrs. Yang looked embarrassed, and said in her heart, raising a son to guard against old age, the son is a serious succession of the family business, there is no reason not to leave it to the son but to the girl.

But he couldn't say that on his lips. Instead, he comforted him: "Grandma is not bad. Don't we have an embroidery shop here? Not to mention making money every day, but it is not far from it. Besides, the silk and satin shop and pawnshop, if It's not the master's way, how to make money like this, why should grandma be unjust, I think the decent wife and grandma in the house over there may not be as expensive as grandma, needless to say the two girls. What a woman wants in her life, why bother I think it will not hurt to find those for myself."

Thinking of earning a living in her hands, Second Grandma Lai finally felt more at ease. She raised her wrist and took a sip of tea, then put down the cup and sighed, "Forget it, I'm old enough to make trouble for a girl. Let's see tomorrow. Raise her to be a girl, let her chat with those few, soak her feet and walk by herself, and she will know in a few days that she can live a peaceful life, but what does it feel like to be a bitch."

The master and the servant chatted for a while, and when the second grandma asked about the sewing girl, it was nothing at all, but Mrs. Yang remembered what her relatives said, so she pushed Liu'er out: "I heard that the girl can read sewing, People are also smart, and the more people here, the easier it is to do things.”

Second Mistress Lai was used to these things, and she was happy to show Granny Yang some face, so she nodded, and the master and servant did not mention each other.

But the next day, Liu'er was told that she would go to work in the eldest girl's courtyard after breakfast and return after dinner.Because Liu'er knew that the eldest girl was doing the dowry work, she didn't take it seriously, so she had to hide her clumsiness.

As for Master Dong's work, she can do it when she has time at night. She is young, has good eyesight, and is dexterous in her hands and feet.

It's just that Master Dong has fewer people to serve her, but she is a little worried. In the past two years, seeing that Master Dong is lingering and difficult to recover when he is sick, it means that he has to lie on the bed for two months every year. Be thoughtful, otherwise, there will be a few people all over the yard coming forward, and the good people will offend her old man.

Then I discussed with Master Dong, "Master, look, if you say something to the old man, I won't go there. Now this place is busy, and the two girls here are fraught with things, which is really worrying."

Master Dong listened, pondered for a while, and said coldly: "Forget it, don't act like an old man and be my three-year-old child. Just go, I think there must be some rare good materials there, and see the world. It's also good, just one thing, don't be stupid and reckless, just be careful. Also, I'm not yet seventy and eighty, and it's May, and the weather is good, you just go, if the weather is bad in winter, there will be There is no way for you to come back, but you won’t be able to go for a few days, and it will not be easy for you to go out to hide and relax.”

Liu'er listened to it and thought about it for a while, but had no choice but to go. Although this Master Dong has a violent temper, he is a little careless in everything.There should be a lot of calculations, unless she wants to suffer or not care about things, otherwise it is difficult to calculate her.

Immediately, I recruited two little girls to serve in the embroidery village, and the two sisters Chun'er and Dong'er carefully told me that there were no others, only Master Dong had explained everything here, and I couldn't stand the nagging of Master Dong, so I drove them away. She said: "Hurry up, don't let people say that you don't know how to flatter. If you have something to say, you can't say it sooner or later. If you have to hurry up, it's not like you won't come back. It's like a ghost in a hurry! Go!"

Liu'er thinks about it, she's going to come back to live at night, it's not too late, after all, it's just a matter of taking care of Master Dong's room, tea, snacks and clothing, and going to the mansion over there with needlework, but I don't know. As soon as he went, he got into trouble.

But Qiuhong used to play a trick in the Xu family, but when she arrived at Feng's residence, the water was deep and there were many fish, and there were no cunning characters, so she couldn't bear it.

Originally coming out of the Xu family, although she felt that Liu'er had taken her position and held resentment towards Liu'er, but because she had climbed to the top of the Feng family and envied the wealth of the Feng family, that little resentment was not worth mentioning.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at Feng's family, I just looked at their wealth and wealth. Although food and clothing are more than one order better than Xu's family, she is a little girl with no face. In front of him, Liu'er added to the block, until Liu'er was involved.

Who knows, it's a shame that Liu'er came here as soon as she came, and became the second girl's personal girl immediately, not to mention her status was higher than her, and she was favored by the eldest girl and grandma, how could she swallow this? With a bad breath, Liu'er was framed later.

But this time her wishful thinking didn't last long, Liu'er seemed to be down and out and went to the embroidery village to be a girl. In a few days, she got favored by Master Dong and was sent to serve her personally. The monthly fee was better than the second girl's side. People are also getting more and more provocative, making Qiu Hong hold her breath once every time she sees that there has been no improvement.

Seeing that she is sixteen, there is no need to think about serving girls, not to mention dowry, she is next to Second Mistress, although she has finally become second class, but there are many maids in the main house, smart and capable, not to mention how many are around Second Mistress The big girls are not easy to get along with, even the dozen or so second-class girls are difficult to get along with, so I really look down on her who has no foundation in the future.

So, Qiu Hong's eyes fell on another group of people.

In the past few years, she has also understood that Mr. Feng looks like a refined scholar, but he is also a lecherous person. As the Second Mistress gets older, there will be more houses in Feng's residence, and more than ten houses will live in one of them. In the small courtyard, Second Mistress usually keeps a close eye on her and doesn't ask her to go out at will.But food and clothing are all good, and they will not skimp, much better than the big girls, especially the second grandma who let go that whoever gave birth to a son will take whoever is the aunt, and they will live in separate houses.

It's a pity that in all these years, no one has lived up to it, not to mention the boy, not even the girl.Yi Qiuhong guessed secretly, probably because the Elder Master was too old...

However, I heard the wives muttering recently that at Feng's mansion, a concubine of Master Feng just gave birth to a fat boy for her. The two silver coins are for himself, and the old man directly ordered Mrs. Feng to be raised as his son.

I heard that in the mansion nowadays, whoever doesn't look up to Aunt Zhou, even Mrs. Feng, who is in charge, dare not neglect her.

The unintentional words fell into the ears of those who cared, and Qiu Hong thought of herself, now she is getting older every day, maybe one day she will be assigned a boy, and with her status, she will not be able to fall into any good family.And this is still good, if you offend the second grandma, you might be sold to someone who doesn't care about it, and the hard life will be tormented, so I have been thinking about it since then.

Until this day of serving Master Feng, he was looked at a few more times by him, flirting with each other, and half pushing and half pushing, so he hooked up with him that night, because he was satisfied with serving Master Feng, he stayed here for three days, and Qiu Hong also became a dozen or so housemates as he wished. one.

Little did he know, he had embarked on a road of no return, and the sad days had just begun.
