Because the old lady was old and sleepy, the Lin family asked An to be half an hour later than ordinary people, so that Rong Jin got up every day.

Today she rubbed her eyes, opened the begonia flower woven gold brocade tent, and saw a figure flash into the door in the morning light, and then a faint candle flame lit in the room, the second and the third...... The room was bright.

Rong Jin finally saw that the person who came was actually Red Sleeves!

"What are you doing in here?" Rong Jin got up with her soft shoes on her feet.

"Miss, the slave maid is here to serve you to get up," the red sleeves blew out the fire, "getting up early to drink a cup of ginseng tea is the best way to nourish the body, the slave maid has already let the painting go to boil water to make tea, and the finch will bring water to serve you to freshen up." ”

Rong Jin walked to the mirror table, looked at the red sleeves, and said in her heart that this person is really proper, but she is used to being lazy in the painting, and suddenly asked her to get up early in the morning to boil water, and it is inevitable that there will be complaints.

So Rong Jin sat in front of the mirror and persuaded: "Red sleeves, you are really hard, but there are some things that must not be rushed, a person who gets up every day and night has to be corrected immediately, I am afraid it will backfire, slow down, maybe it is better?" ”

Red Sleeves disagreed, but his mouth still responded: "What Miss said is," and then walked to the edge of the bed and pulled the begonia quilt over, "The slave will take the quilt open and wash it, and take out the drawers to dry it later." ”

Rong Jin looked at her busy back from the rhombic mirror, pulling a lock of long hair and combing it carelessly.

Yesterday, when Red Sleeves proposed to take out the quilt cover to dry, he deliberately remained silent, thinking that Red Sleeves had understood, but he never thought that she still wanted to do what she was doing, what was she for? Could it be that he was ordered by his wife to touch her bottom? But her pocket was cleaner than her face, and she couldn't find it if she wanted to find it, so she went.

It's just that this red sleeve seems to be very stubborn, but I'm afraid that I didn't listen to what she advised, and now the newcomer is coming, the old man is not used to it, and it is most prone to conflict.

Sure enough, when Que'er entered the door and pulled her bun for Rong Jin, Red Sleeves stood in front of the mirror and watched for a while, looking at it all the time, and finally couldn't help but say: "Que'er, you comb the bun for Miss every day, don't you get tired of combing it yourself?" ”

"The slave maid is not bored, and the young lady is not bored," the finch combed her own hair, and deliberately said: "Miss, the slave maid thinks that you look the best in the bun!" ”

After a while, she came in with a pot of tea, yawned, lifted the chrysanthemum teapot and poured water into the cup where the honeysuckle had been placed, and filled it without paying attention.

The tea is full of people, and the tea is poured only seven points full.

Red Sleeves caught a glimpse, pulled the handkerchief again, as if it was unbearable, and reprimanded: "It's really good that Mother Zhang scolded you for having no rules yesterday, and you can't even pour a cup of tea!" ”

After taking a sip of her in her heart, she ignored it, and after bringing the steaming tea to Rong Jin, she carried the teapot again and went out around the red sleeves.

Rong Jin looked at this scene from the mirror, and finally made a gesture to signal the finch to go out first, she twisted a pomegranate crystal hairpin from the painted cloud pattern lacquer makeup box, and compared it to the bun, "Red sleeves, you come to help me hairpin." ”

The red sleeves stretched his face, stepped forward to take the crystal hairpin, and was about to put the hairpin between the hairpins, when he suddenly said: "Miss, it is better to use a hairpin to shake the hairpin with a hanging bun, and the tassel is gently shaken, which complements the two locks of hair hanging down." ”

"No need, just use a hairpin."

"But Miss ......"

"Just use this hairpin," Rong Jin looked back at her, there was a candle flame jumping in her eyes, but no matter how the flame swayed, her dark pupils remained motionless, like a stubborn stone that was scorched by the flames.

When she touched these eyes, no matter how sharp the red sleeves were, she softened, she was a slave, and the slave couldn't talk back to the master.

Rong Jin looked at her from the mirror, her red sleeves lowered her eyes, and her face was unwavering, but the hand holding the hairpin trembled slightly, and the red crystal embedded in the hairpin also flashed.

"How do you feel?" Rong Jin seemed to casually pull off the crystal hairpin and pushed the red coral beads into the bun.

Red Sleeves was stunned, "Slave...... The slave didn't know what the young lady meant. ”

"You are a first-class girl, the finch and the painting have done something wrong, you should correct them, but one of them is an old qualification who has followed me since childhood, and the other is appreciated by the old lady, and you are more and more dissatisfied with you when you shout and drink them, after all, it is not the few newcomers who have just learned the rules outside. It's like I just reprimanded you, you are a first-class girl, and you are also decent in front of your master, how uncomfortable you are, how uncomfortable it is for the finches and the painting. ”

Redsleeves was shocked, and his head drooped lower.

"So let's talk about everything slowly, in the future, our master and servant will have to stay in this courtyard for a long time, this head is not opened well, and I am afraid that it will be more difficult in the future," Rong Jin saw that the red sleeves blushed, so she changed her smile and patted her hand and said: "I expect that your combing skills are good, and in the future, you will come to serve me to freshen up, and those boxes and hairpin rings will be handed over to the birds." ”

Red Sleeves raised her eyes and looked at the delicate little girl in the mirror, telling her whether she had guessed what she was going to do, or just a random transfer, she didn't seem to understand this little girl very well.

She began to blame herself for not being able to calm down, seeing that Rong Jin was young, she was a good person, and she asked her to pack up the cage and wash and dry, and she had to be careful in the future.

"Red Sleeves, Red Sleeves? What do you want? ”

"Oh, the slave thinks that you have arranged it well, Miss, the slave and the maid have overstepped before, and the slave and maid will comb your hair for you in the future," Red Sleeves said with a smile.

……

People say that the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, and the red sleeves have big ideas, and it is impossible for people to change their beaks because of Rong Jin's words. She couldn't get into the painting, so she scolded the newcomers in the spring, summer and autumn at every turn, this can't do that doesn't work, and she has to think for a long time about which foot to walk first.

After Rong Jin invited An, she went to Yingchun Ju to learn the rules, since the last time she maintained Rong Qing in Wanshoutang, Meng's mother was much more polite to her, and now she taught her for two hours for the first time, and she is more attentive. Rong Jin finally understood why the third sister had to stammered Rong Qing and his wife everywhere, and in this back house, it was better to please his wife.

After learning the rules, it was noon, and Rong Jin went to the dining room.

There are not many Lin family members, the second room of Qianqiu Courtyard in the west is used in their own courtyard, the old lady is in Wanshoutang, and the rest are used in the dining room of Chongxiao Courtyard. Aunt Mei is an honest woman, with two six or seven-year-old daughters in her room, Aunt Chen has always been at odds with the Zhu family, and she doesn't like the table very much, after all, the concubine can only sit on the side table, and she is embarrassed to have one person at one table.

There is a partition in the dining hall to divide the east and west rooms, and the ladies eat on the west side.

As soon as the wife and the sisters arrived, they began to set the meal. Rong Jin glanced up at the elder sisters and noticed that the atmosphere between them was strange.

"I like this fish and sheep the most," Rong Zheng looked at the maid who was setting the dishes with sharp eyes. The maid was stunned for a moment, peeked at Rong Qing, and saw that she didn't react, so she put the fish and sheep in front of Rong Zheng.

"And the lotus tofu may not be useful for a long time, I want to try it now," Rong Zheng knocked on the table of the eight immortals.

These dishes are on day by day, Rong Qing likes them the most, saying that he hasn't eaten them for a long time is definitely talking nonsense, Rong Jin can't help but glance at Zhu's family.

"There have always been rules for how to set up dishes, so whoever likes to eat will put them on whose side, and what are the rules? Don't you even understand this, girl? Zhu glanced at the servant, and a hissing cold air appeared in his eyes.

The maid's face turned pale, and she immediately adjusted the position of these dishes and put them in front of Rong Qing.

Zhu said: "The fish should be placed on the top, and the main and secondary should be distinguished." ”

"It's like the eldest prince of Hai talking to the second sister, the eldest sister shouldn't interject," Rong Ci looked down at the food in front of him, as if he was just saying it casually.

Zhu bowed slightly, giving Rong Ci an affirmative look.

Rong Jin suddenly understood, she looked at the eldest sister opposite inquiringly, and saw that her mouth was crooked with anger. Suddenly, her sharp eyes looked over, and Rong Jin immediately lowered her head, pretending to look at the empty pink porcelain bowl.

The eldest sister was angry, it was a storm, and she just wanted to use the meal in peace, and she didn't want to get involved in their struggle.

However, Rong Zheng didn't let her go, she laughed angrily, and said: "It's a pity that the fourth sister was born so well but didn't pass, if you go, what else will happen to us?" Rong Zheng looked at Zhu and said, "Mrs., let's take the fourth sister next time, I asked my father just now, and my father said that we should let our sisters go, it doesn't matter if there are many people, just take care of each other." ”

At the banquet, all the ladies from the family came to see Rong Qing, and finally a son of the Hai family was attracted by Rong Zheng's beauty as soon as he came, and only talked to her, but he was also cut off by the Zhu family, and he was stunned to let Mrs. Hai call people to Rong Qing's side.

She has been responding to the diaphragm since she came back yesterday, so she has to vent her evil anger at this dinner table, but this is not enough, she can't steal the limelight from her daughter-in-law, so it's right to let Rong Jin come. With Rong Jin's appearance, what is the identity of Rong Qing's daughter-in-law, which family's son and wife don't look at their faces?

Rong Jin was finally pulled into the water, but she was slightly happy in her heart. With Daddy's approval, wouldn't this be able to go out and have fun?

"Rong Jin," Zhu ignored Rong Zheng completely, grabbed the ivory chopsticks and put them in the bowl, and asked casually, "How are the girls who sent them over?" ”

"Huh?" Rong Jin raised her head, the first thing that came to mind was the red sleeves, she laughed dryly and said, "Very good, conscientious, thank you for your kindness." ”

"Red sleeves are very good, you can rest assured that she is in charge of the affairs in your yard," Zhu took a piece of mushroom from the table and put it in Rong Jin's bowl. As soon as she started, everyone dared to pick up the dishes.

Rong Jin was flattered, and thanked her repeatedly, one didn't pay attention to the chopsticks and pestle into the crucian carp white jade soup in front of her, sandwiched a piece of fish meat and put it in her mouth to chew, about when she made the fish, the fish gall broke, so bitter that she frowned, but she had to echo the Zhu family: "The red sleeves are very capable, Yimei Courtyard depends on her, hehe!" ”

She is now a dumb eater of fish gallbladder, and she can't tell if she suffers!
