The Coral of the Red Mansion Does Not Return

It turned out that Daiyu separated her maids and sat alone in front of the window, her eyes were deeply hurt by the eye-catching and festive glances in the distance.Daiyu couldn't help but lowered her head, bit her lip, remained silent, and two lines of tears flowed down slowly.

Daiyu has been here for more than ten days, and the waiters have also figured out Miss Lin's sentimental temperament, so when Daiyu signaled people to go out, everyone retreated neatly, but called a few little maids to find Zi cuckoo.

Zijuan is the son of a new generation in the Rong Mansion. His parents were originally bought from outside. He is in charge in the mansion and has some connections.Most of the original home-born children in Rong Mansion were sent out in the early years. Now, most of the errands in the mansion are bought from outside, and there are also some like Zijuan whose parents are from outside, so they themselves are considered home-born children. .On the day Daiyu came, Mrs. Liu gave her Zijuan.In the evening, they also sent the deeds of selling their lives from Zijuan's other family members.Now brother Zijuan is outside, with the same monthly payment as Jia Lian's servant, helping to deal with Daiyu's inconvenience outside.

Zijuan lifted the curtain and came in, and stopped at the door, waiting for the cold to go away.When she raised her eyes, she saw her own girl wiping her tears, so she hurriedly asked: "Girl, why are you crying? But which little hoof is disobedient and made the girl angry?" Zijuan said a few words of concern, and then turned angrily: " Seeing that my wife and grandma don’t have time to housekeeper, these little hooves are getting more and more unruly! I’ll talk to my nanny later, if I don’t punish them a few times, sooner or later they will be so frivolous!”

Daiyu heard the movement behind her and wiped away her tears in a hurry. She looked up a few times, but she heard Zijuan's voice, and then she relaxed. Hearing the words, she burst out laughing, and said angrily, "I haven't said anything, Zijuan, you!" There's a lot of talking." He said again: "Don't worry, no one will mess with me. It's just that I want to be alone, so I sent them all away. But you, why did you come back so early? Auntie But what do you say?"

The girl cried from time to time, but there was a reason for it. Zijuan didn't want to expose it, so she agreed with her to change the subject, "It's a good thing. Don't worry, the girl is not cold after sitting in the cold wind for a while?" As she spoke, she twisted her body and went to the cubicle to get hot water, and gently applied the veil soaked in hot water on Daiyu's face, and said in a babbling voice: "The girl's face is precious, and the girl cry After a while, if you don’t put on the top grease, it will not look good if your face is chapped.”

Zijuan worked diligently, removed the silver basin while speaking, and brought a small box of face cream, which she was gently melting on Daiyu's face with her fingertips.

Sensing her gentle movements and the warmth of her fingertips, Daiyu felt that her slightly tingling face suddenly became very comfortable, and she couldn't help but said, "I was negligent. When I was in the south, I never saw her. There is so much snow." It seems to be explaining why it is by the window, and it seems to be admiring.

Zijuan said: "This year's snow is very heavy. Many houses outside the city must have been crushed by the heavy snow. If our uncle hadn't thought of a way to use ice to make houses, I don't know how many people would have been frozen this year." died."

"Are you talking about an 'igloo'? A house made of ice is not only not cold, but can also accommodate people and keep people warm in the severe cold." Daiyu praised sincerely, "I heard about it in the south, father I even asked someone to come up with a way to try it. The big cousin is really a fantastic idea!"

Zijuan said proudly: "That's the uncle! Over the years, which of the things that the uncle has done is not a whimsical idea but has practical effects? Even the emperor exaggerated that the uncle is 'Gewu No.1'!" After speaking, he suddenly remembered He is no longer from the Rong Mansion, so he hastily kept his mouth shut.

The two families are close, Jia Min and Liu's exchange letters and papers from time to time, and Daiyu grew up listening to the deeds of her eldest cousin, so she is familiar with his deeds.Even so, I still never tire of listening to it, and I was inevitably disappointed when I saw Zijuan stop talking.Fu asked the previous topic again: "Auntie called you over today, what's the good thing?"

Because Daiyu was still in the [-]-day period of filial piety, she would inevitably bump into the pregnant princess, Liu Shi spared her morning and evening meditation, and only ordered her to copy scriptures for her deceased mother in her room.There is also a small Buddhist hall here, which is convenient for Daiyu to burn scriptures to her mother.When Daiyu came, she was worried that she would have to sacrifice herself privately, but she didn't expect her aunt to be so considerate.Since then, Daiyu kept her filial piety at ease, and didn't care about the rumors and rumors that she might not be taken seriously by the Rong family.

Although the girl is quietly keeping her filial piety in Shanghexuan, she has food and uses, and the lady always asks and cares about everything.The rice paper used to copy the book was used up, and my wife even ordered someone to bring it.Zijuan knew that the girl had a high status in Madam's heart, but not everyone else.

In the eyes of other unreasonable people in the Rong Mansion, this is the Chinese New Year and the princess is pregnant, all of which are great happy events, but a cousin girl in filial piety came for no reason. .

No, as soon as the cousin girl entered the mansion, she was sent to a corner by the wife to watch her filial piety. That Shang Hexuan was deserted and deserted, with no trace of popularity.If it weren't for the fact that the madam was afraid that the cousin girl with insufficiency would die there and no one would know, and she pretended to be concerned every day, everyone would really not have remembered that there was an extra little master in the mansion.

However, the masters and masters of the Rong Mansion run the family very strictly, even if they think so in their hearts, no one dares to treat Biao girl slowly.The master is the master, and the master and the servant understand these four words clearly, but it is a lesson learned by the blood of the servants of the Rong family.That's why Daiyu said that no one would dare to provoke her anymore.

Zijuan knew Daiyu's situation, so she was very happy with his wife's instructions.She didn't keep her secrets, and announced beamingly: "Madam intends to let the girl assist the housekeeper!"

housekeeper!

Daiyu is no longer the eight or nine-year-old girl who just went to Beijing in the original book. After her mother's teaching over the past few years, she understands the importance of housekeeping rights very well.She immediately said with some hesitation: "How can this be done?"

Zijuan interrupted her and said: "Girl, the affairs of the house are all decided by the madam. As long as the madam speaks, what's wrong?"

Daiyu shook her head, "After all, I'm just a cousin girl, and I still wear filial piety. Besides, there is a sister-in-law Rou and a sister Yingchun in the house..."

"Although the girl is a cousin girl, I see that the madam loves her more than the second girl." Zijuan argued, "Besides, the girl has already become obsessed with filial piety. The girl is in her own home. Could it be that the girl is obedient because of her filial piety?" Do you leave home?"

Daiyu couldn't laugh or cry, and was about to say that this place was not her own, Zijuan said again: "I know what the girl is thinking, but the girl has thought about it. Since Madam let the girl take care of the house, she didn't treat the girl as an outsider. If the girl still thinks of herself Wouldn't it make Madam sad to be an outsider?"

After saying this, Zijuan looked at the girl anxiously.As a servant girl, it was too much for her to say such a thing.

Is that right?

Daiyu was at a loss.

After a long time, she said in a low voice: "Let's see what my aunt means."

***

When paying her respects the next morning, Mrs. Liu asked Daiyu to sit down beside her, and asked lovingly, "Is Yu'er still used to the Huaiyang cuisine cooked by the new cook?"

Daiyu said with a smile: "I eat the same as what I eat at home. Auntie, don't worry about it."

Mrs. Liu smiled lightly, "Most of the dishes in the capital are rich in oil and red sauce. You grew up in the south, so it's common for you to be uncomfortable with eating." He added: "As you get older, your memory gets worse. The servant girl said that you don’t eat much, and my aunt can’t remember it. Yu’er, don’t be polite to your aunt, treat this place as your own, if you are not used to it, just tell me.”

The two talked affectionately for a while, and Liu Shifang said: "Yu'er, before your mother left, she told me that she has already started teaching you how to be a housekeeper, but?"

"My mother is not in good health and has been working very hard. Yu'er wanted to relieve her mother's worries, so she asked her to teach me early on." Thinking of Su Ri's mother's careful teaching, Daiyu couldn't help but reddened her eyes, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Liu said happily: "That's great, my aunt has something to ask you."

The sadness in her heart quickly dissipated, and Daiyu asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Liu sighed heavily, and said: "Yu'er, you also know that as my aunt is getting older, the family affairs are getting more and more difficult. Usually, wives like my age are not daughter-in-laws who do their jobs and just enjoy the blessings. How old are you?" I won’t talk about the evil of my cousin; your sister-in-law is capable, thanks to her all these years. Only she has a body and needs to cultivate. Your sister Yingchun is capable and organized during the Chinese New Year, but she is also sick now It's..."

"Oh, I have no choice but to think of you," Liu frowned slightly, and said in embarrassment, "Auntie also knows that you are visiting our house when you are sad, and you shouldn't bother you. It's just that Yingchun is exhausted all of a sudden, I don't know when it will be better, before your sister Yingchun is well, can you take care of this house for your aunt, okay?"

Auntie has come to this point, how can Daiyu not respond?She hurriedly said: "Yu'er can't help my aunt if she can share her worries. I'm afraid that Yu'er will not only be unable to help, but also cause trouble for auntie."

Mrs. Liu smiled happily, "Then Yu'er, are you agreeing? I believe in Yu'er's ability, and your mother has praised you a lot. Besides, Yu'er is smart and she must be able to learn it soon. By the way During the year, only our family was happy and happy. Yu'er only met relatives in Dongfu, but I haven't seen relatives from your cousin Ying and your second uncle. I saw that the snow stopped in a few days. May you please They came to enjoy the snow and recognize people. Yu'er can discuss with me what to do with this banquet?"

***

In the majestic Rongguo Mansion, is there no one who can manage it?No.For Mrs. Liu, the comings and goings of family affairs are nothing more than that, and they just need to be messed up.It's just that Daiyu is getting older, and when she is out of filial piety, she happens to talk about others.At that time, it will be too late to teach the housekeeper.But after all, she was just a cousin girl, and she came up with such an excuse just to silence outsiders.

For example, I don't know what's in my mind at the moment, and Xiao Wang's voice is strange.
