The clever maid of the red mansion

After breakfast the next day, the old lady came to the East Mansion with all the female relatives in the mansion.Jia Zhen took You Shi and Jia Rong Qin Shi to greet him outside the door.

After entering the main hall, everyone sat down in the main hall first, had a cup of tea and a conversation before going to the garden.

The old lady was sitting in a sedan chair with a soft bag, and several women were carrying it.Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang followed, Youshi led, and Sister Feng followed with the girls.

Liu'er naturally waited on her personally, and accompanied two maids carrying clothes and other packages, two steps behind Mrs. Wang.

As soon as you enter the gate of the garden, across the river, you can see a cloud of steaming clouds on the other side, pink, white, peach red and vermilion, deep and shallow, thick and light, very lively.There seemed to be no fragrance at the end of the nose, and the spirit was shocked.

The old lady nodded, "Sure enough! There is no need to torture Meixian."

Everyone who knew laughed, and Sister Feng also said: "Since the old ancestor came here, he is naturally blessed. If you are not happy, how can you be worthy of the elder sister-in-law and the servants of the family."

The old lady couldn't stop laughing, she just pointed at Liu'er and didn't speak, and those who knew the inside story also pursed their lips and smiled, looking at the serious Liu'er, with a jade face and vermilion lips, with a serious expression, and found it more interesting , secretly thought, no wonder the old lady likes something.

Now that we talked about appreciating plum blossoms, the old lady had to pick two good vases herself, so naturally she had to go to Mei Lin's place.

Everyone simply crossed the bridge, walked along the edge of the plum forest, and went north along the river. After a stroll, we happened to cross the bridge on the other side of Tianxiang Tower, where the theater wine was already prepared.

Mother Jia sent a group of maids and women to go shopping by herself, leaving only the masters and a few close people, and turned her head to point to the plum forest on the west hillside and said, "Is the Changcui nunnery still empty now? With plum blossoms, It fits the scene very well, like a painting."

You Shi hurriedly replied, "Who says it isn't? The original grandpa was devoted to Taoism, so he built this Buddhist hall, which is not a good look. Who would have thought that it has become a real scene now, and it is cleaned every day, and it is cleaned on time. Make a confession as usual, and watch the house with a few women."

Jia Mu nodded, looked back and saw Liu Er was still following, and said, "Go and play too, it's no fun following us, just remember that it's cold, so go back upstairs to have a drink. If there are plum blossoms that you are looking forward to, you can fold them as well." A few of them went back, and my wife couldn’t trust the ones they picked.”

Liu'er agreed with a smile, and handed over the burden to the woman beside her, and took the little Jiu'er who followed her step by step, went into the woods and disappeared.Seeing it, Jia Mu fell down with a smile, and said straightly that this is the transformation of a little monkey spirit, who hates trees and forests the most.

Others naturally echoed the old lady's jokes, and there was the jealous old woman who curled her lips secretly. The little goblin did not know what tricks she had put on the old lady, but she seemed to be more liked by the old lady than the three granddaughters, and her words were full of affection .

Naturally, Liu'er couldn't care about that, as soon as she saw this plum blossom, she felt like grass grew in her heart, the closer it was, the stronger the fragrance became, it was really a sea of ​​fragrant snow, and there was an idea in her heart that was about to move.

If I have time, I must embroider a big screen with red plums burning like fire all the way from the beginning to the end. There are faint temples hidden in the distant mountains, a winding stream nearby, and a few grassy huts.

There are even two sentences in the title chant.

However, embroidery requires a lot of effort, and it is necessary to draw it first to be serious.He calmed down for a while, and took Xiao Jiu'er along, watching and discussing along the way.

Xiaojiu said that this branch is blooming well, and the flowers are thick and dense.

Liu'er said that the branch is the best, the old branch is slanted, with many bones, dense and dense, so it is called charming.Later, I thought about asking my mother-in-law to cut it and take it back.

Xiaojiu deliberately retorted, the flowers are more beautiful, what's so beautiful about the bare branches.Even though he said that, he secretly wrote down Liu'er's instructions.

Now Xiaojiu respects Liu'er very much, not to mention that her sister is likely to come in to serve in two days, Liu'er will help.Even on weekdays, she could tell that now the old lady's heart, the most proud person, isn't sister Liu'er.

Even the second grandma, she has to ask sister Liu'er to help her talk when she is in trouble, she is not capable.

Especially now, she often runs errands for Liu'er, and even does some private affairs, but she has received a lot of rewards.As for the unflattering ones, Liu'er has sent other wives to go. Although Xiaojiu is young, she knows what to do, and now she is the most beloved person in the family.

The two walked and commented, looking at a few good ones, Liu'er was afraid that he would not find a better one later, and forgot about this place, so he asked Xiaojiu'er to go back to find someone, and brought scissors and other things. , Cut off everything she thought was good.

Seeing Xiaojiu'er running back, Liu'er unconsciously walked forward for a while, not far away was a small piece of the most prosperous, I don't know if it is a double-petaled first-grade cinnabar, and I should break one and go back.

Looking at it from a distance, it was quite close, but I didn't feel it was far away, and I didn't even pay attention when I walked around a mountain stone. The most beautiful first-grade cinnabar.The only thing is that the river here is extremely narrow, so it can't be seen from a distance.

Not far from the opposite bank is the Ningxi Pavilion, and there are several pavilions next to the water here, and they have gone far away.

For a moment Liu'er hesitated, she looked around with her eyes, and saw that there was no one, she felt a little uneasy, but also reluctant, thinking of a quick solution, she should quickly look around and retreat.

Lifting the hem of the skirt slightly, she burrowed in, her eyes were sharp, and she saw a branch with a very beautiful shape from a long distance, and the flowers were half-open and half-closed, which was just right.

When she came close, she raised her head and stretched out her hand, but it was a bit difficult. The trunk, not much thinner than her wrist, swayed, but two petals fell off, and the plum branch did not move at all... Anxious, she simply raised her hands together. On the ground, people's feet were off the ground, and they swung twice like monkeys, but the plum branches stood still.

After all, Liu'er is a teenage girl, she is slim and slender, with such a small body, how much weight can she weigh, she feels awkward and helpless all of a sudden, fortunately, there is no one around... Scary!

"Hahaha... Which family's girl are you from? It's so interesting. Poor girl, hahaha..."

Obviously Liu'er's actions pleased someone very much, and she laughed out loud in a very ungentlemanly manner.

Liu'er almost died of fright, she didn't see the landing, she was bumped twice before she could stand, frantically pressing her clothes and stroking her hair, she quickly bowed her head and saluted.

In fact, it can't be blamed that Liu'er didn't see anyone just now, this person is wearing a scarlet python satin robe, and the leader has the style of a black fox, let alone the jade-faced golden crown, only the red robe, isn't he one with Merlin... …

Regardless of Liu'er's embarrassment, the young man walked forward after laughing enough, raised his hand and turned his wrist, and with a click, the red plum branch fell off firmly, and handed it to Liu'er, his eyes were full of smiles, Looking at Liu'er closely, he was a little more amazed, "Here, I didn't laugh at you for nothing, it's an apology."

Liu'er's face was flushed with embarrassment, whether she accepted it or not, seeing that the plum blossom was stuffed into her bosom, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it, and just stuffed it into her hand.

"Listen to what you said just now, is this girl from this mansion? What's her name? How old is she? Where do you serve her?"

Liu'er didn't want to talk to her at first, but she didn't agree with the etiquette, and now she was still holding other people's things in her hand, so she had to lower her head slightly, nod, pretending to be shy, thinking of fooling the past and finishing the calculation.

The young man clapped his hands, "Don't be shy, I fell in love with you the moment I saw you! It's as if I've seen you before, that's good, I'm good friends with your master Jiazhen, I want you to go, I promise you to eat better than now It’s more wearable, and you just go out to play on weekdays, and no one talks about you, how about it?”

Liu'er was speechless, this is... someone who encountered poaching?lecher?It's not like, what kind of situation is this? After all, I'm a little confused. I've never encountered such a thing.How about... slip away first... Anyway, she is not from this mansion.

Seeing that Liu'er didn't make a sound, she just lowered her head, and her footsteps moved slightly, moving backwards.The young man hurriedly said again: "Don't be shy, this is a serious matter. In two years, when you are older, you can follow me, how about it?"

I... don't have to doubt it, you bright apprentice!

Pooh!He spat hard.

Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, without even thinking about it, he raised his leg and kicked hard, holding the red plum, turned around and ran, crossed the small bridge in a hurry, turned south along the bank, and plunged into the vicinity of Tianxian Tower In the woods, there is no trace.

The young man was dumbfounded. He looked at the other side of the river in the distance, and then looked down at the small footprints on the hem of his robe, with some muddy marks on the petals... His face sank, and he suddenly smiled again.

It's just a girl, I will ask Jia Zhen for it later, and I will take care of her when I get her. Although she looks cute, her temper... is really weird and unruly.

It's a pity that not all gods in this world can achieve what they want, let alone Feng Ziying, an ordinary man.

Feng Ziying didn't shy away from saying goodbye that day and asked Jia Zhen directly: "I met a girl from your family by the river this morning. Son, I don’t know which side is serving, if it’s convenient, give it to my brother.”

It is also common for men to socialize and communicate.At that moment, Jia Zhen had to think for a while, "Brother has seen the world, since he said it is neat, it must be good. Although there are a few good ones in my family, they are incomparable with Xifu. Today, the old lady came to enjoy the flowers, so it must be there. I came here. Is there any special sign of what you said? Why don’t you ask a few people from my family who are familiar with it to come and see who it is, and if the brothers like it, they will take it with them. It’s not worth anything.”

So Jia Zhen called a few girls over. Normally, they were pretty rare, but now they look much worse, and they lack a sense of taste.

Naturally not, the person who presumably was an old lady couldn't help it for a while, so she had to leave it temporarily.
