Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

There is a row of houses next to the main house. If it is inconvenient to live in the main courtyard, you can live in the Peony Garden.

The more Rong Mama observed, the happier she became.

It's so perfect! It's unreal.

It's just that family and four maids, which makes people feel a little uneasy.

"Li Ya Po," she called Li Ya Po. She was about to ask about the gardener's family and the head maid.

You have to meet someone at least, right?

Then a young man with no head left ran over and said, "Binemaker, Banner, my grandfather asked me to come over and ask if the person you brought is okay.

"If not, another group of people will come and take a fancy to the Peony Garden." He said with a pair of round eyes rolling around.

Li Ya Po looked at Rong Mama, "Mama! Look, can you make the decision? If you can't make the decision, we'll leave first. After you ask the master, we'll come back."

When Rong Mama heard this, she thought, "You are playing hard to get with me. Customers? How can it be such a coincidence? If we didn't come, you had no customers, and when we came, your customers also came."

Mammy, I've seen all kinds of storms!

So Aunt Rong said, "Then I'd like to see what kind of customer is coming."

"Besides, our master is very selective. We don't even care about mediocre skills. We just want him to have excellent character and appearance."

"It's not just any ugly person who can serve the master and the lady."

Madam Rong followed Li Yapo to the compound and saw a local rich man.

He was wearing a brocade robe with floral patterns, was fat and bloated, had a folding fan stuck in the collar of his clothes, and was pointing with his fat fingers.

Opposite stood four maids, not that old, probably around 11 or 12 years old.

He was neat and tidy, and spoke without dragging his words.

"Master Cheng, I'm sorry, we sisters choose the host family."

"The first rule is not to serve the male master."

"What...? Since you have sold yourselves into slavery, it doesn't matter who you serve."

"If there is a first one, there must be a second one. Tell me about it." The local rich man was spitting.

"The second clause is that we sign a living contract and can redeem ourselves at any time." The head maid said it crisply.

Master Cheng walked around the four of them, "Tsk tsk tsk!"

"She's plain-looking, sir. I don't think she's worthy of your attention."

"Well, I have plenty of money. I am a salt merchant."

"Big...Salt Merchant, I'll give you more money, three thousand taels, how about that?"

"You, that old man, and your whole family, the diggers, I don't want any of you."

"I hate the smell of dirt the most in my life, and I just like the smell of money."

"How about it? I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it." After saying that, the local rich man looked up at the sky, seeming to be disdainful.

Rong Mama looked at it and wondered what this meant? Forced buying and selling?

These girls are very chaste, so once they get married the lady won't have to worry about anything else.

Then the question is how good is the kung fu?

Aunt Rong wanted to let Shantou practice with them, as long as he could walk a few times back and forth.

She has the final say on this deed, and if she misses this opportunity, she will never get it again.

It would be so hard to meet someone so lovely again.

But the local rich man raised the price.

I just don’t know what price to charge for the four maids.

"Four girls, our master is here to serve the lady and the young lady. You won't serve tea or water. Just follow us to ensure our safety. How do you think?"

When Master Cheng heard someone was coming to steal his business, he glared, pulled out his folding fan, and pointed at Rong Mama.

"When I'm talking about business, I don't allow others to speak. Blocking someone's way to wealth is like stealing money and killing them. Do you understand, old woman?"

The call of "old woman" made Rong Mama so angry that she was fuming and trembling all over. She had followed Jia Min all her life and was respected everywhere.

Seeing that Rong Mama was shaking with anger, the followers in the mountain refused to stand for it.

Shantou kicked Master Cheng's folding fan away with a flying kick.

Master Cheng looked at it and wondered what it meant? Was he going to use thugs?

He also followed the four men, and waved his hands behind his back, "Young men, beat these old man and the young boy to a pulp."

The four people behind him picked up a stick and rushed towards Rong Mama and the hill.

Grandma Rong...

Manager...

This Yangzhou is so fierce!

"Let's fight first! It's too late to report to the police now."

A man came up to greet them from the top of the hill. The four girls saw that this Mr. Cheng was coming with bad intentions.

We have to take action today.

The girls pulled their whips at their waists, and four long whips flew out like dragons emerging from water, rushing towards their opponents.

"Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!" Four whip sounds were heard, and the four servants holding sticks fell directly to the ground.

The stick rolled away with a "gurgle".

Master Cheng saw that things were going badly and realized that these maids were really capable and they had suffered a great loss this time.

He left a word, "Master, I will go and call for help. I will not let you off!"

"Just wait for me."

He turned and ran, but he ran too fast. He was not paying attention and a stick hit his feet, causing his front and back feet to misalign.

"Plop!" I tripped and fell to the ground, and heard "Ha! Ha! Ha" laughter behind me.

Mr. Cheng was so embarrassed that he got up and ran away.

It’s so refreshing! It’s so refreshing!

Madam Rong cursed in her heart, how dare you call me old woman, you old turtle, get out of here!

When the four servants saw their master running away, they all ran away.

……

When Rong Mama saw that the girls were worried, she immediately waved her hand.

"Four girls! And the old man, you and your family, don't worry."

"The house, the garden, and all of you, as originally agreed, are worth 1,500 taels of silver. My Lin family wants them."

"Madam, I am in a good mood today. You don't need to ask the master. I will make the decision."

"Is the price okay, Mrs. Li?"

Don't raise the price! It's hard for me to raise the price. These maids have done me a favor. Rong Mama prayed in her heart.

Li Yapo...

You've said it all, what else can I say?

She walked up to a few girls and her father-in-law's family, asked for their opinions, and discussed the matter.

Nodded to Madam Rong.

Rong Mama smiled happily, "Housekeeper, prepare the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone. Li Yapo, draft the contract!"

The four girls came over, bowed and thanked her, and then confirmed it with the nanny again.

The ones serving were the Madam and the Young Miss, who then signed and sealed the document.

After signing the documents and paying the deposit, Rong Mama felt relieved.

I felt so relaxed, it was done so perfectly.

I'll have to talk to my wife about this in detail when I get back. It's hard to describe the twists and turns in a few words.

From now on, my wife will have a home in Yangzhou.

Looking at the four maids again, they nodded more and more.

"You can rest assured if you follow Madam. Madam's dowry maids are all from good families and married off in a proper manner."

"When I got married, my wife gave up everything and paid for the dowry."

"You just serve well, and you will have a good life following the lady. They are all kind-hearted people."

"It's settled now. Li Ya Po, let's go back. I'll report to my wife and then go to the government office to file the matter."

Turning to a corner not far from the Peony Garden, Master Cheng and his four servants, who had just run out, smiled flatteringly.

"Sixth Master, it's done!"

"He will definitely be able to enter the Lin family. Look at that nanny, her wrinkles are all blooming with laughter."

"But we got beaten, so you have to pay more." Mr. Cheng pointed at the dirt on their bodies.

They all fell!

"No problem. Here, one pack for each of you. You did a good job. I'll look for you guys for jobs in the future. But you're not good enough to play Master Cheng."

"In the future, take your money and go visit those big salt merchants more often. If you learn well, you will have a big job!"
