6. Strange
"Sister, my mother and I have to come every day to greet our grandmother, didn't you come in the past?" I didn't know how to reply to Liu Dong'er's words, and seeing that everyone's eyes fell on her, Liu Man'er couldn't help but feel the most anxious. In a hurry, some things that should not be said rushed out of their mouths.
"Mother?" Liu Dong'er looked at Liu Man'er strangely, and then looked up at Liu Zhang's: "Mother, why do you bring your sister to greet your grandmother every day, but you don't bring Dong'er?
While speaking, he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, and Liu Dong'er's tone couldn't help but cry: "Mother, Dong'er will be well-behaved, Dong'er will never go to the lotus pond to play anymore." Woo woo, mother. ”
Liu Zhang's is such a magic weapon This daughter, hearing Liu Dong'er's crying, where can she still bear it, and quickly hugged her daughter in her arms: "Dong'er doesn't cry, my mother feels the most sorry for Dong'er, good." ”
Liu Dong'er buried her head in her mother's arms, but the corners of her mouth showed a hint of ridicule, this time you took the initiative to reveal your flaws, then it's no wonder that she is. Raise first glanced at Liu Man'er unwillingly: "Mother coaxes people, my sister said, you bring her to your grandmother every day, but you don't take me!
Liu Zhang was slightly stunned, she was born in the Zhang family, and the old lady of the Liu family is from the same family. It's just that the old lady is a long room, and her house is a second room. Because her parents died when she was a child, she was fostered under her maternal grandmother, who is also an old lady's mother. also said that the old lady was really her own aunt.
It stands to reason that the old lady also loves Liu Zhang's very much, but Liu Zhang's has been cowardly and shy since he was a child. She supported her several times, but there was no way, and finally she had to give up. And what made her feel helpless the most was that this daughter-in-law and niece couldn't use her brain at all when she was in trouble.
For example, this time.
When Liu Dong'er cried first, everyone's hearts rose except for Liu Zhang's. The reason is very easy, anyone can hear it clearly, the mother in the mouth of Liu Man'er, the third lady, is not Liu Zhang's.
If Liu Dong'er is just young and can't hear clearly, then Liu Zhang's is extremely stupid!
Looking at her granddaughter with tears on her face, the old lady couldn't help but soften: "Dong'er, you came to report to grandmother, what happened to the water a few days ago?"
Liu Dong'er's heart sank, it seems that Aunt Zhou and Liu Man'er already have a certain status in the Liu family, even at this time.
With a fixed face in front of the old lady, Liu Dong'er spoke with tears in her eyes: "A few days ago, I fell into the water...... The reason I fell into the water was because I went to play in the lotus pond. ”
"Yes, who initiated the trip to the lotus pond?"
Of course it's Liu Man'er!" Yes, it's me. ”
"Oh, you did it, and who set it up for you?"
As for Liu Dong'er, the old lady will not question her anymore, she is a 7-year-old child, and if there is no one behind her, she will definitely not lie. After thinking about it, she asked what happened: "Dong'er, how did you say you fell into the water at that time?"
Liu Dong'er blinked her eyes, with a frightened expression on her face: "Grandmother, the water over there is so deep and cold, Dong'er shouted for help, but no one came to save me!"
The old lady's expression sank, she didn't blame Liu Dong'er for not answering her question positively, but she was dissatisfied with the servant women who followed Liu Dong'er and the sisters: "Are the servants all dead?
The house was quiet, Liu Dong'er saw that Aunt Zhou seemed to have something to say, and she also knew that she had passed the right thing, if she came forward again, I was afraid that even the master would not speak for her.
A concubine is a concubine, this is her luck that she can't escape in this life.
Stretched out her hand and pushed the daughter next to her, she was humble and couldn't speak, but her daughter was the eldest lady of the Liu family.
The old lady's expression changed greatly, and even Aunt Zhou, who was very calm before, also changed her expression.
The word "bong" has several meanings.
"Dong'er, you report to me, who is the big sister you saw?" Holding back the resentment in her heart, the old lady tried her best to keep her tone quiet.
Liu Dong'er tilted her head with a thoughtful expression: "I don't know what her name is!"
"Then tell me, have you seen her in the mansion in the past?" The anger on the old lady's face became more and more annoyed, but Liu Dong'er really didn't see it.
"I saw it, and I was in my sister's room. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. In fact, if it's just a maidservant, even if you finally climb into the man's bed, it's not a big deal. It's just that if the maid is the maid in Liu Man'er's room, it will be really embarrassing.
With a calm face, the old lady did not continue to ask, this is enough! What's more, how many maidservants can there be in a maid's room? There are only two unmarried, teenage years!
Moved by anger, the old lady spoke and asked Liu Dong'er's mother and daughter to come back first, and whispered to Liu Zhang's family to take good care of her daughter.
Liu Dong'er said hello to the old lady with crooked eyebrows, and then went back to the room with her mother. She has been living in her mother's room for the past few days, and in fact, in order to take good care of her, her mother and father have not been together for a long time.
Of course, this must not be possible. Liu Dong'er thought in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that she didn't have a brother to take care of in her previous life, she wouldn't have fallen into the realm.
Here, Liu Dong'er was thinking about how to convince her mother to let her move back into the small courtyard. And over there, the old lady dropped the teacup in public and gave Aunt Zhou a faceless face!
Yes, even if the old lady is afraid of face, she will not really tolerate an aunt kicking her nose in the face. What's more, there is a maid in the little granddaughter Liu Maner's room, you must know that it was because of Aunt Zhou's pillow wind, and the maids in Liu Maner's room were all hand-selected by Aunt Zhou!
Within two days, Liu Dong'er learned that the servants and maids in Liu Man'er's room had been cleaned and sold, and Aunt Zhou was stunned and didn't dare to say a word.
In fact, Liu Zhang's can't do anything about arranging people in Liu Man'er's room. In fact, Liu Man'er's room is at most Aunt Zhou's person, and this purge has given the old lady the opportunity to arrange her people in.
This is not to say that the old lady is wary of Liu Man'er, but she doesn't want Aunt Zhou to have another moth. Moreover, as the old lady of Liu's mansion, she prefers to hold the backyard firmly in her hands.
After Liu Dong'er learned this information, she didn't understand anything, and just tactfully reported to Liu Zhang's family that she wanted to move back to her yard.
Of course, Liu Zhang's first refusal, in fact, the courtesy of the Liu family is that after the child reaches the age of three, he will have to live in a yard alone. Of course, Liu Dong'er is not an exception, but she has always been in poor health, and she has a headache and brain fever for three days, Liu Zhang's feels sorry for her, and calls her to her residence every few days. Although this was a polite disagreement, the old lady did not stop it.
In her previous life, of course Liu Dong'er didn't think about it so much, but thinking about it now, the old lady didn't stop it, it was not so much indulgence as a disappointment.
Yes, in the past, Liu Zhangzhi was able to marry into Liu's mansion, not because the old lady wanted her daughter-in-law to have the same heart as herself. But in fact, a heart is really a heart, and I regret that Liu Zhang is a simple person, not to mention that he can't help, and often helps. As time went by, the old lady became indifferent to her, and even Liu Dong'er, who came out of her, first gradually parted ways.
In this life, of course, Liu Donger will not let things go the way. In Liu's Mansion, the highest status is of course the old man, who is busy with official business, and usually doesn't walk around the backyard much at all. If it weren't for the New Year's festival dinner, Liu Dong'er wouldn't want to see him at all.
In this way, the status of the old lady in the backyard is extremely high. Liu Dong'er knows very well that welcoming the old lady is more important than anything else.
Of course, the old lady is dazzling, and if she only knows how to flatter and flatter, it must not do any good. Rather than this, Liu Dong'er felt that it was better to make her porridge first.
The first thing is to move out of my mother's yard.
Liu Dong'er knows very well that the old lady porridge sees the self-reliance of the juniors, whether it is a boy or a girl, and she is very fond of people who can be on their own. Liu Dong'er is 7 years old, and it doesn't sound too big, but it's not too small.
The proposition has been decided, and Liu Donger wants to move out. Although Liu Zhang's family was very distressed, he couldn't do anything about Liu Dong'er. In fact, her nature is like this, the other party confronts her own opinions, and it won't be long before she takes the initiative to compromise.
Liu Dong'er's yard is some distance from Liu Zhang's family, but it is close to Liu Man'er's yard, almost next to each other. Walking to the gate of the courtyard, Liu Dong'er raised the first and looked at the door. There are two big words over there: Winter Garden.
I heard that these two words were written by her father when she was born.
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, so that her father was already very distressed about her. It's just that......
A hint of coldness slipped through her eyes, of course she knew very well what this plaque was next. Not only that, including this yard, it will no longer be hers in two years.
Of course, in this life, she will never let such a thing happen again!
Liu Dong'er nodded lightly and let Ju He take her to the room to rest.
Ju He is Liu Zhang's personal maidservant, and she is very powerful. And, if she remembers correctly, in less than three years she'll be climbing into her father's bed!
Can it be bad?
"Grandmother!" As Liu Zhang entered the old lady's room, Liu Dong'er happily threw herself into the old lady's arms, twisted her body and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, Dong'er's illness has been cured, can you let Dong'er come every day to ask for peace?"
It is the duty of the juniors to ask for peace to the elder, but Liu Dong'er is more difficult to ask for peace because of her weak body, so she was specially exempted from asking for peace, but this kind of honor is not worth being happy about, at least in the eyes of the subordinates, the second lady Liu Dong'er is a person with eyes above the top, and even the elder is too lazy to deal with it.
It just so happened that the third lady Liu Man'er was a filial person, and she asked the old lady to say goodbye every day, and so did Aunt Zhou, who accompanied her every day, but did not enter the door, but stood under the eaves and waited.
After a long time, let alone a subordinate, even if the old lady who personally exempted Liu Dong'er from asking for peace, she would feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Hearing Liu Dong'er say this, the old lady was happy in her heart, and looked at her kindly: "Dong'er is not in good health, let's rest more, grandmother knows your filial piety." ”
"Don't, Dong'er wants to say hello to her grandmother, that is!" Filial piety is not something that can be done by knowing it in your heart, but it must be expounded all the time.
In the end, the grandmother agreed, not only agreed, but also praised Liu Dong'er with a smile. But Liu Man'er, who was standing on the side, was so angry that her eyes were red, too, Liu Dong'er only spoke today to mention this matter, but she has been coming to ask for peace every day for several years, regardless of the cold and summer, but she has never received such praise.
The expression on Liu Man'er's face, of course Liu Dong'er saw it. It's just that when she saw her, she pretended not to see it, and Liu Man'er didn't dare to make a mistake in the old lady's room.
The grandfather and grandson said a few more words, and the old lady in front of Ruri stepped forward and whispered a few words in her ear. After finishing speaking, he immediately retreated to the side, and Liu Dong'er looked at it, this is what a first-class maidservant girl looks like.
"Dong'er, Renyazi is here, grandmother will take you to see it first?"
"Well, Dong'er is still waiting for her grandmother to reward people!" Liu Dong'er had a happy expression on her face, and when she saw Liu Man'er pinching her handkerchief in anger, her mood was even better. In her previous life, all the people around her were sent in by Aunt Zhou, and in the end, all her friends betrayed her, and she had nothing to do.
Let my grandmother lead me into the courtyard, where there are already many people standing. The grandmother sat on the chair brought by the maidservants, and smiled kindly at Liu Dong'er: "Dong'er picks by herself?"
"Grandmother help Dong'er choose!" In fact, Liu Dong'er knows very well that the people brought by this person's teeth must have been selected, maybe these are all picked by the old lady a long time ago. It's all at the mercy of this, it's better to let the old lady help point out people, and it will be more filial.
"You kid!" the old lady glanced at Liu Dong'er with disgust, and stretched out her hand to point out a few maidservants. Among the handmaidens brought by Renyazi, none of them were very old, and among the people selected by the old lady, the oldest was also twelve years old, and the youngest was only eight years old.
"That's all, what do you think, Dong'er?"
There is no need to look at it, Liu Dong'er also knows that Ju He must be pale at this time. You must know that being a lady's personal maid is a merit, and basically a personal maid is equal to a candidate for an aunt, so it also depends on the age of the young lady, right?
Liu Dong'er is only seven years old, and Ju He is already fifteen years old, and if she wants to wait for Liu Dong'er to be her husband's aunt after she gets married, she won't. In fact, Liu Fu's politeness is that when a servant girl reaches the age of eighteen, she should be matched, and she cannot cross the age of twenty at the latest.
Ju He's goal is to put it on the master, and no master will choose an aunt in his daughter's room. Liu Fu's politeness is strict, and the lord is not the kind of anxious ghost, although her Ju He's appearance is good, but she is not so good that she can confuse the lord with lust.
If she really had this ability, she wouldn't be a servant girl at this time. I thought about picking an opportunity to quietly climb into the master's bed, Liu Zhang is a soft nature, and he will definitely not say anything. In addition, the master did not have a male at this time, she was pregnant and gave birth to a boy, so she was bound to occupy a place in Liu's mansion.
But the doubt is that the premise of these is that she must be the eldest maid of Liu Zhang's family. If she caused the young lady's maidservant to climb the old man's bed again, with the old lady's character, I am afraid that she will be beaten to death for the sake of the young lady's fame!
gasped, and Ju He knelt down with a "poof".
Over there, the old lady was about to say yes, she thought that Ju He was a member of Liu Zhang's family, and she had been very stable over the years, calculating her age, and she should go out in three or five years. By then, the granddaughter has grown up and can learn to take care of things on her own.
The most important thing is that the old lady knows Liu Zhang's character very well, Liu Zhang's is extremely distressed about Liu Dong'er, about this kind of small request, she is bound to agree, and with her nature, she will not feel that this is the old lady pinching her: "Good ......"
As soon as the words fell, Ju He knelt down, the old lady's expression suddenly changed greatly, she naturally understood the disobedience of the servant girl at a glance, she was a dignified old lady in Liu's mansion, and she couldn't even hold a handmaiden?
Liu Dong'er naturally saw this scene, but she became more and more sure of her inner thoughts. This Ju He really can't stay, instead of letting her stay by her mother's side to cause trouble to her mother, it is better to put it by her own side, she has already been wary, and she is afraid of her being a little maidservant?
However, Liu Zhang's still looked puzzled, looked at his daughter who was still coquettish with the old lady, and then looked at Ju He kneeling in front of him, and asked most blankly: "Ju He, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Dong'er almost didn't burst out laughing, her mother is really a wonderful person, everyone present is afraid that they can see that Ju He has different intentions with her, but it just so happens that she, the main master, is still ignorant. Holding back a smile, Liu Dong'er turned around and looked at her mother: "Mother!"
"What's wrong with Dong'er? Isn't Shicai good?" Regarding Liu Zhang's family, her daughter is all she has, and she can't even compare to her husband, let alone Ju He, a servant girl. She is soft in nature and does not know the heart of the Virgin.
"Mother, Dong'er wants Juhe!" said his thoughts loudly, Liu Dong'er was very sure that his mother would not disagree. Coupled with the "good" that the old lady said, Ju He became her eldest maidservant, which was an ironclad thing.
Ju He was so anxious that she was sweating, Liu Dong'er was not favored in Liu's mansion, even if she was a big maid in the past, it was not as good as saving face in front of Liu Zhang's eyes. What's more, if she is really allowed to go to the lady's room, then what awaits her can only be assigned to the affairs of the house.
She is unwilling, she doesn't want her children to be slaves and servants like her in the future!
Regardless of Ju He's own joy or not, this matter is still settled. It's just that after thinking about it, she stayed by Liu Zhang's side for a long time, so she asked her to go back to Liu Zhang's yard to repair it, and explain the matter while she could.
returned to Dongyuan with five little maidservants, and Liu Dong'er was in a good mood. The five little maids all looked very young, and this little finger was not their young age, but the look on their faces. It seems that they are all very innocent, and they don't have the dazzling intelligence of a child at all.
"What's your name, how old are you, and who's in the family?"
The little maids were all brought into Liu's Mansion by Renyazi, and the first time they saw such a gorgeous mansion, and it was also the first time they spoke to friends and young ladies like Liu Dong'er, and they felt nervous in their hearts. But I didn't expect Liu Dong'er to have no personality at all, so she talked to them in a good voice and invited them to eat snacks, and suddenly the big stone in her heart was put down.
Of course, this is Liu Donger's original intention. She could see that even if there was an old lady in it, that person might not have scheming.
With her gentle smile and curious eyes from time to time, she asked, "Is it true?" The little maids could not help but be arranged to say a lot of things, and even said that they had no intention of eating meat at home.
After chatting like this for half a morning, the maid on Liu Zhang's side also urged Liu Dong'er to go over for lunch, and also reported to her that the master would be there today.
That's a strange thing.
