There are not many maids in Daiyu's courtyard, and the ones who serve in the house are generally snow geese and purple juan. When Purple Juan and Snow Goose went to the back kitchen, there was no one else in the house.

However, Jia Baoyu did not take the opportunity to do anything wrong to Daiyu, but took the opportunity to inquire why Daiyu was sad today.

It is best to find out and get rid of this unstable factor.

Although Jia Baoyu was not bored with the process of coaxing Daiyu from unhappy to happy, and even enjoyed it, he still hoped that Daiyu would be happy every day.

And Daiyu is actually a person with strong self-healing ability, and she will not hide herself in sadness all the time. was coaxed by Jia Baoyu's laughter and scolding for a while, and almost forgot all the bad things he had thought about all the afternoon.

In the end, she still has some little girl's heart.

I didn't want to say it before, because I couldn't pull down my face and complain behind my back, but at this time, it was not so difficult to accept it.

Who is not talked about behind her back, even his wife and someone gossips about her behind her back!

In addition, she also deliberately considered Jia Baoyu's reaction, so she slowly told him the reason......

……

Xiaohong's original name was Lin Hongyu, and she was the daughter of the housekeeper Lin Zhixiao, because she was born with some beauty, she was selected to be an errand in Yihong Courtyard when Jia Baoyu and others just moved into Daguan Garden.

But she obviously didn't get much light from her parents, and until now, she was just a second-class maid.

On the other hand, it can also be seen that the competitiveness of the eldest girl of the Jia family is that people close to the undecent master cannot be promoted.

Even a "high-level cadre" like Xiaohong can only start from a young girl.

Today, as always, she finished her little work, and then wandered around the garden.

She is not as playful as a little girl who doesn't wake up, but she is not satisfied with the status quo, and wants to find an opportunity to be appreciated by the nobles in the house, so as to improve her status and realize the value of her life.

She is a precocious, ambitious, and motivated girl.

It's a pity that there are many good things, and there is nothing to be gained in one day.

Just as she was feeling excited, suddenly a maid who was kind to her came to her and said that her mother was looking for her.

Xiaohong left other thoughts and went to Rongguo Mansion.

"Mother, what are you looking for me to do?"

In a small hall behind the butler's room, Xiaohong saw her mother and stepped forward to shout.

Lin Zhixiao's family has always been known as "dumb" in the house, because she doesn't like to talk or laugh, but when she sees her daughter at this time, it is very different.

didn't wait for his hand to be empty, so he stepped forward and rubbed it well.

Seeing this, the two mothers-in-law who replied next to them left with interest to make room for the mother and daughter.

"Good daughter, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you getting thinner and thinner?" Lin Zhixiao's family touched their daughter's face, looking very loving, and complained for a while: "It's so close to home, and I don't know how often I come back to see me." ”

Xiaohong smiled: "Didn't my father say it, tell me to work hard in the second master's house, and don't go home if you have nothing to do." ”

Lin Zhixiao's family is not easy to speak, and at this point, she is also contradictory, not only wanting her daughter to go home more, but also wanting her to mix well in Yihong Courtyard. Yin lowered his voice and asked: "How are you doing in Yihong Courtyard recently, have you talked to Bao Er Ye, is he good to you?" ”

Xiaohong's expression suddenly subsided.

She is an assertive person who wants to compete for the top, so even if their home is less than a street away from the Grand View Garden, she rarely goes back, in order not to give the people in the courtyard a lazy handle.

But even so, she still didn't have much chance to contact Jia Baoyu. Her daily work is to feed a few birds on the back porch and boil water.

As for Jia Baoyu's main house, she usually can't get in, Qingwen and others are very wary of maids like them.

"I have a very good life in the courtyard, Bao Er Ye is very good to us, he has never beaten and scolded us, and the sisters and sisters in the courtyard don't have to live in fear......"

Xiaohong didn't want to worry her mother, so she only picked up good things to say.

Lin Zhixiao's family smiled and said: "This is the reason why your father and I tried our best to send you to the second master's house, and we are also slaves, under whose hands, the difference is big!"

You are not allowed to be willful, you have to be more easy-going in the courtyard, and listen to their words more, you know? ”

Xiaohong nodded, not wanting to stay longer, so she asked her mother again what she asked her to do.

"That's the case, I heard that Second Master Bao has returned to the house, you take this list back and give it to him, let him take a look, if he doesn't have any other instructions, you can come back to me."

Lin Zhixiao's family took out a roster from his sleeve, which was the result of a busy day for him and Zhou Rui's family.

The people on it are all unlucky.

She explained some things that needed attention, as well as how Jia Baoyu replied when she saw it, and explained to her daughter in detail.

Xiaohong listened carefully, and then returned to Yihong Courtyard with the list.

When she got to the bottom of the porch, she wandered a little.

She was faced with two choices, the first was to give the list to the attackers, Qingwen and others, and let them hand over Jia Baoyu on their behalf.

The other is to go directly into the house to find Jia Baoyu......

After thinking about it for a while, she was still unwilling to abandon such an opportunity, she knew that this opportunity was deliberately created for her by her mother, and it was good to be justified.

So, seeing that there was no one around, she went up into the house from the back porch.

At the beginning of the construction of the Grand View Garden, Yihong Courtyard was the most magnificent place in addition to the main building and the Grand View Building, especially the house where Jia Baoyu lived, which extended in all directions, with compartments and windows next to each other, which was very complex and very different from the ordinary house structure.

Although Xiaohong has been on an errand in Yihong Courtyard for half a year, she still has a little strangeness to Jia Baoyu's house, and she has been around for a long time, but she hasn't seen anyone, so she knows that Jia Baoyu must have gone out again.

She didn't dare to stay in the house for a long time, so she was about to exit the same way, and before she left the house, she heard the voices of Autumn Pattern and Bijin under the porch approaching.

Xiaohong avoided it, and didn't dare to go back and go out from the main gate, because there were many people in front, and she might meet Qingwen and others. She also knows Qingwen's power, and she doesn't want to hit her head-on.

After a brief thought, she took a deep breath, made a calm gesture, and walked out of the room and went straight to the other side.

"Stop!"

Sure enough, she was still seen, so she could only stop.

"Sisters, what's the matter?" She asked.

Autumn Pattern and Bijin had apparently just returned from washing their clothes in the pool behind them, when they both caught up and stopped her.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Autumn Pattern asked very unceremoniously, and gave Bijin a look.

Bijin put down the barrel and went straight into the house, and came back a moment later, shaking his head with Autumn Pattern: "There is no one in the house. ”

Qiu Wen shouted, "Say, what are you doing in the house?" ”

Xiaohong began to want to conceal her defense, but it made the two of them more and more unkind.

So Xiaohong said: "Why am I sneaky, it was my mother who asked me to hand over something to the second master, and I just went in, and I didn't see the second master, so I came out!" ”

"Phew, don't talk about your mother! When you think that others don't know, you just walk around the house when there is something to do at home...... Shameless obscene thing, usually ask you to boil water, you still say there is an accident, tell us to go by ourselves, today you got this Qiaozong, you will come up! Qiu Wen scolded with a face.

Bijin also said bitterly: "Even if you don't take a mirror to look at your own virtues, you try in vain to climb on the heads of Sister Qiuwen, shameless sluts!" ”

Xiaohong couldn't argue because she was so scolded by the two of them because she was ashamed, and she was wronged, so she had to cry.

"To whom do you pretend to be pitiful? No matter how much you pretend, you can't hide your cheap appearance! ”

Xiaohong couldn't bear it, so she had to dodge.

Qiu Wen said, "Hand over the things." ”

Xiaohong knew what Qiu Wen was talking about, if Qiu Wen asked her to take it out before, maybe she would have given it, but now that she was scolded like this, she naturally didn't want to give it.

So the two of them grabbed her and didn't let her go.

Xiaohong has lived a prosperous life since she was a child, and she is not as savage as Qiuwen and Bijin, and she is afraid of damaging the roster in her arms, so she finally gave in and took the initiative to take out the list.

"Smack."

Xiaohong thought that she would be able to calm things down by taking out the list, but she didn't expect to be slapped in the face.

Qiu Wen took the list, couldn't recognize the words at a glance, looked back at Xiaohong and looked at her angrily, and said disdainfully: "This slap is the rule taught to you, next time you dare not understand the rules, just break into it casually, it's not as simple as a slap, phew!" ”

Autumn Wen finally took a sip of Xiaohong, beckoning Bijin to enter the house, but bumped into a gentle body when he turned around.

She looked up, and it was Jia Baoyu standing at the door of the room at some point.

Behind him, the attacker was also there.

"Two... Second Master ......"

Autumn Wen called weakly, but when he thought about it, he felt that he hadn't done anything bad.

It is clear that Xiaohong is restless, and as a big girl, she naturally has the right to discipline the little girl.

Despite this, she still wanted to explain, so as not to misunderstand Jia Baoyu, but saw Jia Baoyu reach out to her.

"Second master......?"

"Give me something."

Jia Baoyu only had a faint voice.

Qiu Wen was stunned for a moment, then reacted and handed the list to Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu got the list but didn't look at it, just glanced at Xiaohong, who was covering her face and crying, and turned around and went back to the house.

"You guys don't look like that!" Waiting for Jia Baoyu to leave, the attacker blamed Qiu Wen so much.

Qiu Wen couldn't figure out what Jia Baoyu meant at this time, and knew that the attacker was Jia Baoyu's henchman, so he wanted to ask her.

The attacker just shook his head and said, "Come in." ”

After taking two steps, he turned back to Xiaohong and said, "You come in too." ”
