The clever maid of the red mansion

"Hey, Sister Qin, sit down quickly, this is my sister, I finally found it, thanks to you, sooner or later I have to invite you alone, call her Liu Er, this is your sister-in-law. "

"Thank you sister-in-law for reuniting my sisters." Liu Er saluted.

"It should be, it's nothing, but it's outrageous to say that." Grandma Xun hurriedly returned the courtesy.

Sister Yang Xiu's face was full of joy when she saw the girl coming.Now Liu'er not only gives her face, but also supports her and cheers her up, and also secretly fills her with some private houses.Not to mention her own sisters, even her own parents, and her son is also taking care of her, so it's their sisters' turn.

Liu'er was young and didn't remember anything, Yang Xiu's sister didn't know anything.

Liu'er and Xu Qin's current grandma Xun, and the two girls from the Fu family, met each other and sat down, Liu'er looked at each other, but Xu Qin's appearance didn't change much, she was a little fatter, dressed as a woman, and in the same color Bright clothes and jewelry.

Xiaoju served the tea with a wink, then stepped aside.

Sister Yang Xiu saw that there were many people in the room, and told Xiaoju, "Take them to sit in the outer room, so that you can greet them well, and don't neglect them." Looking at Sister Qin and her sisters again, she said, "You two go back to your room, too. On the Double Ninth Festival, I can do the needlework for your grandma."

The two bowed to their elders and said goodbye, but Caiwei was a little bit reluctant, looked at Liu'er, but had no choice but to follow her sister away.

For a while, the room was quite quiet, there were only three girls left, except for a little girl beside Yang Xiu's son, one was Honghua carrying a bundle, and the other was beside Grandma Xun.In fact, Grandma Xun is now only surrounded by a girl and a woman to serve her, and the girl left behind at this time is also an old person, and it is Tao Hong.

Tao Hong also came up to greet Liu'er, but now one is in the sky and the other is in the ground, Tao Hong is also stronger, her heart is not feeling well, so her face shows it, her hands and feet are not known where to put them, showing off her body Petty, Grandma Xun sighed in her heart, sighing secretly that fate is impermanent, so it is necessary to describe one or two things.

"Sister Liu'er, this is really an eighteen-year-old woman. I can't even recognize the promising ones. Don't say that we Taohong are ashamed of seeing them, even if I see them, they will also make the village look good."

"Sister-in-law is being polite. I see my sister now because of my sister-in-law. I heard from my sister that my sister-in-law's family has a brother. How is he doing now? Why didn't you bring him here today?" Liu'er smiled and looked up slightly. Taking a look at Honghua, Honghua knew the trick, put the burden aside, and went out quietly.But in a blink of an eye, he came back again, with a small bag in his hand, and nodded at Liu'er.

Speaking of her son, Grandma Xun became interested and said with a smile, "Don't mention him, he is the most mischievous one. He can knock off the roof of the house when he cries. He can eat and sleep. When I come out, he sleeps soundly again. Thinking it was cold, I didn’t bring it out.”

Liu'er nodded and didn't say anything, but Honghua stepped forward and handed a small bundle to Liu'er, and sister Yang Xiu jokingly said, "But what good things did you bring for sister?"

"I don't have any good things, but this one is for my sister-in-law's brother. It's a wish from my sister and I." He opened the small red brocade silk bag with running water patterns, revealing a delicate red gold longevity lock inside. And two small bracelets with small bells, the sound is very clear and sweet when you move.

Grandma Xun is not the naive little girl she was back then, not to mention the gold, once she saw the workmanship, she knew it was made by the big jewelry workshop, and she knew what Liu Er meant, but it was just a matter of effort, and she wanted to curry favor with the Fu family, so what? Let Liu'er appreciate it, so she refuses to accept it.

Sister Yang Xiu helped wrap it up, and smiled and stuffed it to Tao Hong, "Just take it, now I've saved my thanksgiving banquet, what are you taking advantage of!"

Liu'er asked Liu Zhi and Aunt Li again, and learned that the whole family had returned to their hometown after sister Xu Qin's marriage, and the two of them didn't have much to say.

Sister Yang Xiu had a little bit of a girl's mind, and what she had always known about Grandma Xun was that she was just an ordinary woman who could read a few words, she had a scheming mind, and when she wanted to be a girl, she was also kind.Now compared with others, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of her sister who has seen the world.And there is such a past, thinking back when the sister was at her house, although she would not be beaten or scolded, she still felt a little bit idle. As for the disadvantage, she may not necessarily see her cleverness.

So, it's okay for both of them to feel a little uncomfortable, but there's nothing they can do about it. Everything goes well in the world, and there are always people who have to socialize.

As the host, Sister Yang Xiu always had a hot scene, and she also wanted to show off, and asked Liu'er with a smile, "Don't just think about the brother of the new sister-in-law's family, I think you still have a burden, but it's my sister's turn. That's all."

Liu'er pursed her lips and smiled, Honghua handed over the bundle winkingly, Liu'er opened it, and took out a long jacket, "I was looking through my autumn and winter clothes, and saw a piece of ruler, the color is just right to make a jacket for my sister Put it on, it's my sister's filial piety."

As soon as Liu'er opened the bundle, she revealed the bright magenta satin with dark flowers inside. Grandma Xun and sister Yang Xiu both liked bright colors, and their eyes lit up for a while.

Picking it up again to look at the style, it turned out to be a long jacket with a small collar and an open front, filled with silk, the collar and cuffs were edged with honeysuckle embroidered with gold and silver thread, and the buttons were all pink pearls, it was obvious that the workmanship was fine. The materials used are extremely delicate, and they look generous.

This is the first time Sister Yang Xiu received a dress made by a girl. After recognizing it for such a long time, she only knows that needlework is good, but she is busy making it for others. Now it is her turn, and it suits her heart again. She couldn't help smiling and said, "Oh, to tell you the truth, our Liu'er needlework is the first job in the Duke's mansion, and I did it for the empress in the palace. Since I recognized her family, I have been busy. Look, now I can be regarded as free, I am waiting to see through, ouch, I really hope that the cold weather will get better soon."

Grandma Xun was also full of envy. She glanced at Liu'er and said to Sister Yang Xiu, "No wonder everyone says that my sister is a lucky one. Not to mention that Brother Fu is capable, even recognizing a girl is extraordinary. This needlework embroidery , I think the embroiderers in the embroidering workshop are just like that, and Miss Liu'er is really a good crafter now."

Liu'er smiled and said nothing, what could she say, except cutting and sewing, embroidering, piping, and buttons were all a girl's business, but that was what Grandma Xun boasted about.Let's talk about the Xianxiufang or something, not to mention Grandma Xun didn't know about it, I stayed there for several years.

For a while Liu'er stayed by her side without saying a word, but the two women were in charge of the housework, so they couldn't finish their conversation. At noon, Yang Xiu's sister was eager to leave a meal. go home.

Liu'er got impatient a long time ago, so she endured it to save face for her sister, and just didn't do it again.

"I know you are impatient, but after all, he has done us a favor. The gift you just gave is very good, and we still have to save face." Sister Yang Xiu said to her sister when she came back.

Liu'er nodded, "I know, so I've been with her all the time, but I didn't like her very much when I was a child, and I had a lot of scheming, anyway, it has nothing to do with me in the future, and next time I won't come, don't call me either."

Sister Yang Xiu knew that the girl had some temperament, so she smiled kindly, "That's all right, all right, I know you don't like it, but I really like the clothes you made today, just don't make them in the future, I don't have any shortages. You are a little girl Girls, it would be better to keep yourself dressed more."

"As long as you like it, just wear it if I make it for you. Don't be reluctant to leave it for nothing. I have a lot of it, and there is no shortage of one or two. You can say that I gave it to you, and they won't be able to tell you anything It’s just that it’s not spent in the public school anyway.” Knowing that my sister is cautious, but she didn’t steal or rob, there is no need to be so cautious.

"You, a clever mouth, I can't tell you that being a daughter-in-law can be the same as a girl. Okay, I have a plan, you can have lunch with me." Sister Yang Xiu's heart is warm, after all, she kissed her sister towards myself.

"No, I promised my godmother to go back and eat with her." He said and took the girl to the house, but went directly to the godmother's room.

"Mom, you are so thoughtful. My daughter has forgotten that sister Qin has a son." Liu'er got on the kang a few times, hugged her godmother's arm, and said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang didn't take it seriously, "You, it's inevitable that things are negligent. Your mother and I only have one thing about you. I don't remember anything. I remembered it as soon as you went out, and I was busy asking Dong'er and the others to find something. I weighed it I picked it, and hurriedly sent someone to send it over, but is it still possible?"

Liu'er nodded straight, "It's great, it's great." The two of them laughed for a while, and didn't mention that they had lunch together.

Originally, Liu'er had already put this matter behind her neck, but within a few days, sister Xu Qin came again, but this time she did not look for Liu'er. After seeing Mrs. Fu, she came to sister Yang Xiu's room and sent her away. People talk in private.

No one knows what to say, but sister Yang Xiu came to look for Liu'er that night, dismissed the girls, and whispered to Liu'er, "I'm just telling you about this, you don't need to take it to heart, you just know what to do. That's fine. Grandma Xun really likes you and wanted to marry her brother, but I took her back. After all, she has seen little in the world, so she thinks that her brother owns a silk shop and the family has a few acres of fertile land, which is great. Yes. It's not that I look down on her family. I've met his younger brother. He has some talents, and his appearance is just average. Besides, his wealth may not be as good as yours. Besides, those who run small businesses have to suffer. , you look like this, how can you show your face. Not to mention that there is such a manipulative eldest sister like her..."

Liu'er didn't know what to say, so she just kept quiet.

In fact, she quite liked Brother Mo when he was young, but when it comes to lifelong affairs, he can't do anything at all. The old Xu's family, except for a few servants, really has nothing to worry about.

I thought this matter would be over if I hadn't heard anything, but I don't know how Old Madam Fu found out, she called Yang Xiu over, she didn't have a smile on her face, and she didn't ask to sit down like in the past, she just said, " I heard Grandma Xun took a fancy to your sister Liuer and wanted to marry her brother, is there such a thing?"

Sister Yang Xiu hated her to death, which leaked the rumor, there was no one in her room at the time, could it be that it was impossible to ask Grandma herself, shouting, it would not be of great benefit to her, would it?

"It's true that I mentioned it, but it's not appropriate for my daughter-in-law to return it. Besides, Liu'er is not very old, so I'm not in a hurry." Sister Yang Xiu couldn't bear to think too much, and hurriedly replied with a smile.

The old lady Fu didn't speak, and she pondered for a while, "I think you have something to look down on her family, and your sister is a rare one. But now it's the age to talk about kissing. When I mention this, I'd rather Think of a person. Speaking of which, you may remember that a nephew of my natal family used to come and walk around in the old years. He is now a scholar, in his 20s, and he is good at reading. It is not impossible to think about it in the future. The family tradition is clean, and there are hundreds of acres of fertile land, which can be regarded as a famous family in the local area. During the festival a few days ago, his family sent his mother-in-law over, and he also asked me to help her look..."

Sister Yang Xiu knows about this, but this scholar-in-law, his wife just died last year, and there is a girl, she can't control it if she tells others, but if she tells her sister, the one in front of her is her mother-in-law. Life is eaten!

Speaking of age, isn't my sister-in-law even older?There's nothing she can do about it being someone's stepmother, the girl is a hundred times stronger than herself, can it be the same!

Reluctantly, Sister Yang Xiu forced a smile and said, "I have to discuss with Liu'er what my mother-in-law said, but according to my daughter-in-law, it may not be possible, after all, I have to talk to Master Lin."

The old lady Fu's face immediately turned a little bit bad, and she said, "Just ask, but this matter should be done as soon as possible, and his family will not worry about his wife. After passing this village, there will be no such shop."

What is this called? Sister Yang Xiu was so angry that she didn't dare to show it, so she agreed to go.But after returning to the room, it was hard to talk to the girl, and it was a bit difficult for a while.

Xiaoju has been following Yang Xiu's sister all along, and she has always been a bit scheming. Seeing that her master is in a bad mood, she served a cup of hot tea and said hesitantly, "Grandma... Actually, there is no need to be embarrassed about this matter."

"Oh? What's your idea? Let's talk about it." Sister Yang Xiu took the tea and took a sip.

"At the old lady's place, it's not easy for grandma to say anything. After all, Miss Liu is grandma's own sister. There is nothing to say. Only grandma said her original intention. If you want to come, you can understand. And the girl lives and eats her own food. I don’t care about anything here. If you like it, come and go more, if you don’t like it, come less, what if you don’t like it, can you press your head forcibly?”

Sister Yang Xiu sighed, "Why don't I know, but how can I have the face to tell my sister about the old lady's idea now. She can help me now, but I can't help much, on the contrary. Calling her trouble, what has become of it. Forget it, it’s like this anyway, I’ll go there at night.”

After a while, I suddenly remembered something, and said, "How is my sister-in-law? A few days ago, I listened to my mother-in-law in a daze and wanted to marry the Feng family. Why is there no movement?"

Xiaoju smiled, "Grandma said this, is this marriage a marriage that you want to get married? I heard from the little girl next to the old lady that the old man briefly mentioned it to Mr. Feng, but they said that the old man has a colleague at home." , We are talking about marriage, so there is no more. I haven't seen such a few days, the big girl is a little tired, and the old lady looks at her face."

Sister Yang Xiu listened, nodded and remained silent.

The next day, Liu'er went to live in Lin's mansion, and Yang Xiu's sister returned to her mother-in-law immediately, "It's just a coincidence, the daughter-in-law of Master Lin's family came to the post yesterday, and the mother-in-law who came came with Zhang Auntie said in private that Master Lin showed someone's house, and now he wants to ask my sister what she means, but now he just keeps it from her."

The old lady Fu said nothing, but her face was not very good.

Liu'er doesn't really have any opinion on Mrs. Fu. When someone proposes marriage to you, it sounds good because they think highly of you, and they don't force you to agree.Her elder sister was only thinking of her, and she could only appreciate it. As for others, they had seen so much over the years and couldn't get angry, what else could they do, it was really not worth worrying about such a thing.

It happened that the Lin family sent their mother-in-law to pick her up, so they simply took the girl there.

She naturally didn't know that these days, Lin Ruhai was annoyed enough by old man Feng.He never knew that a court official could be so shameless!
