Aunt Xu didn't wait for Mother Wang to finish speaking, so she interrupted her: "Wait! Mother Wang was stunned, her face a little gloomy. Aunt Xu turned her head and glared at Chunying: "There are no rules!" Who told you to look up?! Who are you staring at?! ”

Chunying was a little stunned by her scolding, and lowered her head reflexively, secretly regretting that her eyes were too straightforward just now, and I hope it would be better not to annoy others because of this.

Chunying seemed to be the only one who was confused by Aunt Xu's words, and even Mother Wang, who was interrupted, didn't understand her intentions: "Brother and sister, ...... are you?"

"My sister-in-law smiled." Aunt Xu said lightly, "Today's girls don't know the rules too much, unlike when we were children, when we reached the age of remembering, there was someone to teach, and we would never look at people so stunned." This assignment was originally determined by the masters, and even we, the ladies in charge, are just sharing the worries of the masters, where can a little girl take the idea? ”

The woman who wore water red had a red face and a white face, gritted her teeth and asked, "What does Aunt Xu mean by this?" Could it be that our young master can't even ask for a girl? ”

Aunt Xu smiled slightly: "What a girl is serious." As soon as Chunying heard this, the corners of her eyes couldn't help twitching. How many girls? This is not a dream of red mansions!

Then Aunt Xu continued: "Our Qingguo Marquis Mansion was originally a poetry heirloom, with generations of scholars, and everything has rules. The big and small masters in the house, how many people should be used in which house, how many girls there are, how many daughters-in-law there are, how many mothers-in-law there are, there are rules, even the old lady, the marquis and the wife have not made exceptions, and the young masters and ladies are naturally no exception. The new little girl in the eldest young grandmother's house was originally lacking in the eldest young master's house, and the girl must have remembered that the embroidery book was injured by the second young master because she accidentally poured tea on the second young master, and she had to leave the house. Because the eldest young master said that there were many people in his house, he never made up for it. Now that we have a young grandmother, there is a shortage of manpower, and my wife remembered it yesterday, so she asked us to pick someone to send it. There is no shortage of people in the second young master's house, so how can he add more? She raised her hand to tidy up her cuffs, and asked casually: "There are already a lot of people in the second young master's house, I remember that the people who added in the first two years were all good at women's popularity, why is there no one to do the work?" ”

Many girls' faces were already blue, and they held back for a while before they said, "Those little hooves think they have face, and they are lazy and refuse to work!" He took two breaths and said, "That is the case, just right, our young master just said before that the girl in Nanqi didn't listen to the call and asked her to pour tea, she didn't move her nest for half a day, and walked outside all day, as if there was no such person as her in our courtyard, just throw her out and pick another good one." The eldest lady replaced this girl with her, and it also saved the second young master from being angry! ”

The Lu family suddenly laughed: "Girl, this is not a good thing, I am afraid that the second young master may not have such a mind, if you really change people, he will be angry." After saying that, he squeezed his eyes at the daughters-in-law behind him, some of them laughed, and some of them remained silent.

"What do you mean?" Many girls were stunned, and when they saw that the daughters-in-law were just laughing, they got angry, and Wang's mother hurriedly persuaded her: "The girls don't have to pay attention to them, your Aunt Xu is reasonable, forget about it, we still have business to go out, don't delay the hour." ”

Many girls were full of reluctance: "Where can't you even wait for a while?" Mom, take a break. Then he said to Aunt Xu: "I will report back to the young master tonight, and when he nods, someone will come to lead this girl in." Why should the eldest lady talk too much? Is it a sin to add a little girl? In the third young master's house, there are two more than others! Why don't you see the eldest lady mentioning? ”

Chunying scolded secretly in her heart, why did these so many girls get entangled with themselves?! I've never heard of the "many girls" in the Red Mansion, but I didn't expect that the many girls in this unknown world would add to the hatefulness! She was faintly scared in her heart, praying that God would never let her be the second young master's girl.

Aunt Xu frowned: "There are not many people in the third young master's house, but Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang are still paying monthly money in the wife's house, and they are still the wife's people, but the number of little girls is the same as that of other young masters." Girl, I advise you to save some trouble. Then, she said to Wang's mother: "My sister-in-law is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, and there are some things that I won't say to others, but with the affection of the Wang and Xu families, I can't help but open this mouth." If you upset your sister-in-law, please bear with me. ”

This made Wang's mother also serious: "This ...... What's the matter? You—...... you say?"

"Since ancient times, everyone has paid attention to a 'family and everything is prosperous', and there is no reason for the family to fight all day long for a little thing. The girl is a small matter, if the two young masters have a knot because of this, it is not the same as the people under us. Even if we can't persuade us, we should talk less and calm things down. This is the truth that Aunt Wang personally taught me when I was a little girl, and my sister-in-law must have heard it often? ”

Mother Wang's face was blue and white for a while, and Aunt Xu didn't wait for her to answer, she turned to Chunying and said sharply: "You don't understand the rules, and you don't stand out for your work, you should have studied for a few more years before you came up, and you were still honest on weekdays, so you will be included in the roster, and if you don't want to say a few words, you will do it again!" Now that the second young master is angry, it will be disrespectful to the second young master to raise you again! How should you be punished?! ”

Chunying was confused when she heard this, thinking to herself, how could this be her fault? What did she do wrong? She looked at Aunt Xu puzzled, and when she saw the other party's eyes, she suddenly understood, and immediately bowed down: "The little one is wrong, the little one is willing to be punished, please ask the aunt to command." ”

Aunt Xu nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you know your mistakes, the old lady often says, we have to be lenient to the people below, then I won't punish you heavily - go back and continue to learn the rules!" When you've learned it, let's ask for an errand again! ”

Chunying resisted the urge to curl the corners of her mouth, and pretended to be sad and responded: "Yes, auntie." I was secretly relieved.

Aunt Xu turned around and instructed the daughter-in-law holding the roster: "Tick her name and send the little girl named Jiajia who was just selected to the eldest young grandmother." ”

The daughter-in-law responded, and Aunt Guan opened her mouth, but she still didn't say anything after all. The Lu family glanced at her and smiled sarcastically.

The girl kept a straight face and asked for a while, "What about the people in our house?!" When Nanqi is kicked out, who will make up for her shortcomings?! ”

Aunt Xu glanced at her lightly: "When the people go out, we will ask the second young master what he means." Eight people have been selected, and the two young ladies only need to add six people in total, so there will naturally be left. Then he ignored her, and instructed the other daughters-in-law: "It's almost time for dinner, this person has chosen enough, let everyone disperse." ”

Everyone answered, and they packed up their things one after another, and Chunying was about to get up, but she heard a person rushing up behind her, kneeling on the ground and shouting, "Auntie!" Sisters-in-law! And me! You haven't asked me yet, but you can't just drive me back! She heard the familiar voice, turned her head and saw that it was Sister Feng Lian, and when she caught a glimpse of several housekeepers, her faces were not good-looking, so she hurriedly persuaded in a low voice: "Don't say it, let's go back quickly." He reached out again to Sister Lalian.

Sister Feng Lian broke away from her hand, pounced forward, and grabbed the hem of the girl's skirt: "Good sister, I am willing to go to the second young master, please help me talk!" Chun Ying was so shocked that she couldn't say anything.

Sister Lian, don't think about it!

But Sister Lian couldn't hear her inner voice at all, just pleading bitterly. The girl looked at her a few times, and saw that although she looked quite delicate, her makeup was too village, and her small body was shriveled and shriveled, far less than her plumpness. The girl rolled her eyes and smiled, "Since you are so loyal, I will be a good person." He turned his head to Aunt Xu and said, "It's just her, I look at her well." ”

Sister Lian was overjoyed, Aunt Xu glanced at her coldly, didn't say anything, just nodded to the daughter-in-law who took the roster, and agreed, Sister Lian immediately cried happily, and when everyone was gone, she was still wiping her tears.

Chunying was depressed by her side, and when she saw that she didn't mean to stop, she said angrily, "Are you done crying?" Everyone else is watching the joke! Aren't you hungry? Let's go back to dinner! ”

Sister Lian wiped away her tears and snot with her sleeve, and peeked at her timidly: "I'm sorry...... Chun'er, I'm ...... I robbed you of your errand......"

That's not her errand! Chunying resisted the urge to roll her eyes: "I didn't want to go in the first place, okay!" Let's go! ”

Sister Lian hurriedly responded, followed her home, peeked at her countless times with that guilty look along the way, Chunying was even more depressed, and ran to her house as soon as she entered the courtyard gate, not wanting to pay attention to her anymore.

After that, the smug laughter from the Feng family, the advice of Sister Lian, and the sound of Liu Xi'er angrily closing the window, Chunying only regarded it as a floating cloud in the sky and didn't bother to care about it. She still has some unreal feelings, and she can't help but pinch herself, and if it's true, she has a faint joy in her heart.

Being brushed down like this, although it is very depressing, it also means that she will not be forced into the house again in a short time, isn't it a good thing? Anyway, the family is already much better, it doesn't matter if she enters the house or not, now that she is free, it is time to think of other ways to make money.

Chunying hummed a song easily, picked up a rag and cleaned the room, and suddenly heard familiar footsteps outside, so she happily opened the door: "Mother, you come back, ......" Before she finished greeting, she was pulled into the house by the old lady and closed the door with a bang.

Mother Lu was a little angry: "I heard from your Aunt Liu, you didn't choose?!" What's going on?! Guan Pozi obviously accepted my things! Also, your Aunt Liu said that Aunt Xu drove you back because of what happened last time, and she annoyed you?! ”

Chunying hurriedly said, "No, no", she explained the matter in detail, and then said, "Mother heard it, right?" Aunt Xu is helping me, she is a good person. If she hadn't kicked me out in this way, I would have gone to the second young master, wouldn't it be miserable? ”

Mother Lu has calmed down, but she is still a little puzzled: "Then why did the Liu family say that she was making it bad?" ”

Chunying thought for a while: "It should be that she misunderstood, people who don't know, when they hear about this incident, they will think it's Aunt Xu's fault, right?" Anyway, I'm very happy, but it's Sister Lian, I really don't understand what she thinks, and she actually begged to serve the second young master. ”

Mother Lu pouted: "Feng Laocai******** want her daughter to go in, phew!" I don't look at how many pounds and taels his daughter has. Then he worried, "But how can it be done now?" I'm afraid that I won't be able to enter the house for a year and a half. ”

"If you can't get in, you can't get in, and our family doesn't lack those few dollars of monthly silver." Chunying hugged her mother's arm and coquettishly, "Didn't my mother teach me to embroider lotus flowers?" He also told me to go to the embroidery room to try, if I entered the house, how would I do the work for the embroidery room? ”

Mother Lu thought about it, but she was a little unwilling: "Didn't you add someone to the eldest young master?" Why can't I send you? ”

Chun Ying smiled: "That's a hornet's nest, how can the second young master give up?" I heard that the lack in the eldest young master's house was originally a girl who was injured by the second young master, if I really went, wouldn't I offend him? I don't want to be beaten. ”

Lu's mother was startled, thinking that it would be a good thing for her daughter not to go, so she put it down.

Lu Yougui felt that it was a pity, and later he heard that Mrs. Guan had received gifts from eight families, and she wanted to send the daughters of the eight families into the second lady's house, but several people were sent to other places, and some people were not selected, and those families all surrounded her family to explain the law. As soon as Lu Yougui said that he went home, Lu's mother couldn't laugh, and immediately went out to mix it, but she actually asked for half a load of rice, purse and gold bracelets, and even said that she had suffered a loss. Chunying was speechless.

Sister Feng Lian happily followed the mother-in-law who came to pick her up into the house within a few days, and before leaving, Feng Laocai told countless words, and her little face was always red. As soon as she left, Feng Laocai went out to gamble with three or five pig friends again. Liu Xi'er coldly crossed her arms and watched, her younger brother carefully asked her, and she scolded back.

Chunying looked out of the kitchen, sighed when she saw this, and then picked up two cucumbers to cut, but suddenly found a dark shadow behind her, and hurriedly turned around to see that it was Widow Cui.

Chun Ying greeted with a dry smile: "Aunt Cui...... Do you want to use the kitchen? ”

Widow Cui shook her head and solemnly stepped forward to hold her hand: "Good boy, don't worry, your sister and I will find a way for you." ”

Ay? What does this mean?
