The New Year has passed, and the girls have started school. Jiafu is not like the Lin family, who raised their daughters as boys, and studied the four books and five classics. Sanchun's class learning is mainly female workers needlework, can know some words, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, books and articles are not required, it all depends on everyone's interest, of course, if you want to learn, someone will teach, and the dignified Rongguo Mansion is not short of those two money.

Jiang Yan also took interest classes back then, and every time she was reluctant, she had to be coerced and lured by Jiang's mother, so she couldn't really fall in love with painting, and when she went to high school, she gave up naturally, only occasionally using the pen, but she grabbed it again when she had leisure in college.

If she goes to school in Jiafu, she must be what she should learn, and she won't touch it if she doesn't ask for it. Tanchun is a completely good student, smart and diligent, he gets up before dawn to study, this is still a primary school student.

Jiang Yan saw the book yawning under the porch, walked over and said early, "Do the three girls get up so early?" ”

Waiting for the book listlessly said: "No, our girls have to practice a hundred big characters every day, go to school during the day, go to the old lady and Mrs. to say goodbye, and go to the grandmother to practice needlework, and the sisters play among themselves, the time is full, don't you have to get up early." ”

"The third girl is really hard, she is hungry before breakfast is ready in the kitchen?"

"There's a snack in the room, it's not too fresh, but I can fill it up."

The two didn't say a few words when they heard Tanchun calling inside, and when the book was written, "You go get busy", turned around and went in.

After Jiang Yan finished sweeping the ground back and forth, it was almost dawn, so she ran to the kitchen to pick up food and go back to the house, and after a while, Lu Aya also washed up, and the two sat together, eating and chatting.

Jiang Yan saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she whispered to gossip with her: "The three girls didn't eat in the morning, and the people in this kitchen are too bold!" ”

Lu Aya didn't raise her head, and said: "This kitchen housekeeper's mother is the old lady's companion, except for the old lady, there has always been no one in her eyes." ”

"Why didn't the three girls tell the old lady, she has always been a lively and refreshing person, not like a person who can be snubbed by her subordinates!" Tanchun is a rose with thorns.

"What do you say?" Green Aya glanced at her, "She just said it, there is also something in the kitchen that the kitchen meal time is fixed, and you can't change the rules in your grandmother's room for the sake of a grandchild." ”

"I didn't let the rules be changed, and the third girl didn't get up early before the next person, and the kitchen had already started preparing breakfast, so why don't you just make a simple one and send it over?"

Midoriya thought she was an elm head, "You don't know what the kitchen looks like?" Those snobs, if Baoyu asked for something to eat in the middle of the night, they could get up from the bed and send it over, and they had to smile. For the others, if you want to let them advance a little, they will be scolded for starving to death and reincarnating, and they will only look at money. ”

Jiang Yan said strangely: "But our mother on the stove is very talkative, I went to get snacks and they asked me to take more." ”

"Can the mother who cooks our maid's meal be the same as the one in charge?"

Jiang Yan understood, that's what she said, but the third girl is in her own home, how can she look at people's faces.

"You think it's those people in your family, and the people in this house are much stronger than the master," Lu Aya stretched out her hand and compared it to two, "It's even more powerful over there, and everyone in her own house dares to give her a face." ”

She continued: "The third girl is not from the belly of his wife, and it is only two or two months of money a month, where is there enough to get some money every day, it is better to save some trouble." ”

has no money and no backing, so you have to endure it, but then again, if the third girl is a wife, she doesn't have to get up early to practice calligraphy.

Jiang Yan was silent by her words, silently bowed her head and drank porridge, she thought that the dream of Red Mansions was peaceful in the early stage, it seems that there is really no pure land in Jiafu, no wonder Daiyu said in the poem "Three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind, frost and sword are strictly pressing".

Jia's mother got up, and Jiang Yan went to duty.

She didn't have any technical content in this work, and she was not tired, and the wives and girls came over and opened the curtain to make an announcement. It's just to stay at the door, and you can't leave if you have nothing to do. There are benches under the porch, so you can chat when you have nothing to do. It's much easier than before, and you can show your face in front of your master.

Jiang Yan also thinks that this job is good, compared to serving behind Jia's mother, who is also a third-class maid, this is much freer, and there is no need to stand all day.

It's just that it's a little boring to knock on her teeth every day, and at this time, Jiang Yan misses her mobile phone and computer very much. In order to prevent herself from being bored, she took out her own needlework and made it. In fact, she would like to find two scripts to read, but she is nominally illiterate now, and the style of reading calligraphy and painting is not quite right, so that's it.

Jiang Yan was not interested in embroidery female red, although she also thought it was beautiful, but even if she appreciated it, she would be grateful if she came by herself. used to say that learning was to make a show, but last time she was disgusted by Xie Jingxing, she came back with these fabrics, she didn't believe that she couldn't make a good dress!

She is now holding a piece of cloth to embroider back and forth, and she doesn't ask how exquisite the pattern is, at least the stitches are neat, don't twist the missing needle, and don't let people say that it doesn't look like a human wearing!

Mother Jia has the habit of taking a nap, and at this time, no one will come to disturb her, and the maids will go back to the house to rest for a while if they are fine, and Jiang Yan is no exception. However, the maids naturally can't lie on the bed like the master, and rest is just sitting in the house talking and playing. Jiang Yan doesn't want to chat, so she usually takes a needle and thread to poke a few times, although the efficiency is not high, but it can be regarded as practice.

Seeing that she seemed to be really beginning to fall in love with Nu Hong these days, Green Aya gave her an idea, asked her to go to the kitchen to make a few snacks that Coral loved to eat on weekdays, and took her to meet Coral, hoping that she could give her some advice. Jia's mother's underwear, forehead shoes and socks and other objects are all responsible for coral, and Jia's mother's pickiness can be seen in her craftsmanship.

Anyway, she is in charge of the needlework in this courtyard, Jiang Yan is a novice and doesn't have to worry much, and Coral also agreed to it for the sake of Green Aya's face, but just a few more words. She was also busy on weekdays, and only had some free time when the old lady was resting, so she asked Jiang Yan to come over at noon if she had any problems.

After that, when there was nothing to do at noon, Jiang Yan took a sewing box to find coral, originally she planned to learn needlework from Green Aya, anyway, any craft was better than her, but Green Aya felt that she was still learning, how to teach people, so she introduced coral. Later, Jiang Yan learned that coral's craftsmanship was the top in the two mansions, and even Qingwen had learned from her for a while.

When Green Aya had been praising coral before, Jiang Yan didn't have any intuitive impression, but she remembered that there was a chapter in the Dream of Red Mansions called Qingwen's Illness and Peacock Qiu, probably such a name, later generations recognized that Qingwen's craftsmanship was the first in the Dream of Red Mansions, but she didn't expect that she still had a master here.

But think about it, Qingwen was only ten years old when she was sold to the Lai family, this female celebrity must have learned after entering the house, and it is not surprising to have a master.

With such a famous teacher, Jiang Yan's attitude is more correct, fortunately, she is an adult inside, she is calm, her memory and understanding are also strong, what are the key points of stitching, she can make sense of it, and she will embroider it in a few days, but it makes Coral Gao look at her, it was just a face, and gradually taught Jiang Yan some real skills.

Because of learning embroidery, Jiang Yan brushed a sense of existence among a few big girls, of course, some little girls' gossip is also indispensable, but fortunately, she invited them to eat a lot of fruit and pastries on weekdays, and they did serious things, and no one was too much.

In the blink of an eye, the remnant of winter has passed, and the weather is gradually getting warmer, Jia's mother chose a day and ordered someone to move Baoyu and Daiyu from the blue yarn cabinet to the backyard wing.

This is a big project, Daiyu don't say first, Baoyu has been favored by Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang since he was a child, and any rare objects are based on him, plus the gifts given by relatives and friends during the New Year's holidays for so many years, all kinds of rare treasures, people can't take their eyes off it, and it took half a day to move him just to register and make a book.

Of course, you can't let the master wait, the attacker has already taken the maid to pack up a batch of Baoyu's commonly used items, and after Jia's mother gave an order, the room was immediately arranged, and the rest of the things were slowly cleaned up.

This cleaning up is a problem, Baoyu's valuables all have a history, who gave what in which year and month, his grandmother is remembered, there are many things on weekdays, gold and jade are put together, and I don't notice what is missing, and this sorting is found to be wrong. Counting and counting, Baoyu's jade pendant is actually missing a piece!

Originally, I was afraid that there would be a lot of people when I moved, and some people had unclean hands and feet, but they didn't want to find out a house thief.

Mama Li's face changed at that time, the maids and women in the Baoyu House were all under her control, and the people below were not clean hands and feet, wouldn't they be slapping her in the face!

However, because there are many boxes to be moved today, in addition to the people serving in their house, many of the old lady's maids and daughters-in-law have also been called over to help, and I am afraid that there are many people and miscellaneous things that cannot be hidden.

When the attacker saw that Mama Li's face was wrong, he hurriedly interjected: "Grandma Li forgot, didn't you tie it up for Bao Er Ye in the morning?" ”

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot," Mama Li looked like she had just remembered, and she waved her hand, "Okay, let's keep moving." ”

Jiang Yan stood silently in a group of maids, and when she heard this, she pulled Liu Er, and the two stepped forward to move an ebony box and went out.

Mama Li's face just now couldn't be hidden, although the attack was covered up, others may not have noticed this one, and they didn't think about it deeply. But Jiang Yan has read Dream of Red Mansions and knows that it is not a matter of once or twice that Jia Baoyu loses things in his room, so this time she may not know what is going on, so it is better to make less money inside.

Anyway, she is a little girl, and she is 108,000 miles away from the core of Bao Erye's bedroom, and no fire can burn her, far away.

After moving the box, Jiang Yan slipped away, anyway, Mama Li and the others couldn't remember that she was such a little girl, and some people rushed forward to offer their courtesy, and there were enough people to move things.

Afraid of being caught again if she stayed outside, Jiang Yan simply hid in Mama Qian's tea room.

Mama Qian was eating melon seeds at the small table, and when she saw Jiang Yan, she said curiously: "Why did you come to me, it's lively outside today, why don't you open your eyes?" ”

"What about it? And you can't grow more meat. Jiang Yan also grabbed a handful of melon seeds, "It's better to come here to hide from laziness."
