Chapter XXVIII
Qian Xue's position is behind the four big maids, and she is not close to the service, she left Baoyu didn't notice it for a while, and she didn't know that she was picked up by her parents when she was still drinking tea. In less than half a year, there were three maids missing in Baoyu's room, and Jia's mother decided to pick a few more people for Baoyu, she really didn't worry about others to train her, so she simply chose among the maids in her room.
She only told Mandarin Duck about this, and asked her to observe the maids below, and pick a few obedient and sensible, or which kind of craftsmanship is good, because of Baoyu's preferences, and specially ordered the best to look good.
As soon as these requirements came out, the candidates were decided, the maids were not here for a year or two, what kind of temperament, everyone knew that within two days, the mandarin duck called two maids to come in and show Jia Mu.
Jiang Yan didn't know what she was going to do when she asked them in, before Mei Ren and the little maid left, their position was promoted by the original people in Qianyun Xuan, and she never thought that Jia Mu would actually parachute in the past this time.
Although Jiang Yan has been following Jia's mother for a few years, she has not had direct contact with her a few times, and she bowed her head and stood honestly when she entered the inner room, with her many years of experience in school, it is probably not a good thing to be called to the office by the teacher, and she thought in her heart that she had not done anything wrong recently, and the matter of going to Lixiangyuan yesterday was also reported to Mandarin Duck, and it was really not clear what else was going on. And Hongxuan is the most quiet person, why was she also called.
Mother Jia looked at the two little maids standing below, Qian Xue was only second-class in the Baoyu room, and the cats and dogs in Jia's mother's house were more noble than others.
Jia Mu asked, "What are you all good at?" ”
Jiang Yan was overjoyed, and Jia's mother asked herself, is this going to be promoted? The second-class maid's monthly money is a hang! The quality of rouge jewelry is on the next level! She began to guess which sister was going to get married, but the oldest ones were about the same age, and it didn't seem to be time to get married, so she really couldn't guess.
Hongxuan is older than her, Jiang Yan didn't speak first, and only after she said that she knew how to be a female red and cut, she replied to Jia's mother: "I have studied making tea with Mama Qian for three years, and I know a little bit, I dare not say that I am good at it, and other needlework female celebrities will also have some." ”
She is also doing a good job of needlework now, after all, she has been practicing hard for several years, and she has a foundation in painting. However, Coral was familiar with her, and she didn't hear her say that she was going to leave the house, so Jiang Yan said to make tea.
Jia Mu looked at Jiang Yan, "I seem to have some impressions of this maid." ”
The mandarin duck reminded her with a smile, "Didn't the old lady who made a new forehead wipe of Coral a few days ago still praise the novelty of the style, and also praised her?" Coral didn't dare to take credit, saying that Shuang'er designed it for her, and the old lady also rewarded her with a string of money. ”
"I remember," Jia Mu nodded, and she said to Jiang Yan, "Then you are too humble, the female red is still very aura." ”
Jiang Yan hurriedly said: "It's all Sister Sango's good teaching, she doesn't dislike me for being clumsy, and she often instructs." ”
"You're a kind person, and you're not in vain for Coral to teach."
Mother Jia said a few more words to them, and the mandarin duck let them go down.
Jiang Yan returned to the outer room, and Xing'er asked her, "What did the old lady tell you to do?" It took a long time to come out. ”
Although Jiang Yan had some guesses, she didn't want to talk nonsense, so she said casually: "I didn't say anything, I just asked a few words." ”
Inside, Mother Jia was talking to the mandarin ducks, and the two maids were calm in front of her, I don't know what it was like on weekdays.
Mandarin Duck told her about the daily situation of the two, Hongyan is the most honest, and the green silk and green silk who entered the house with her have been promoted to the second class, and she is still in the third class, although she is coming in from outside, people are really not very smart. Mandarin duck had the heart to push her, knowing that Jia's mother liked to attack people and give her to Baoyu, so she praised Hongxuan's honest duty, usually being a female celebrity in the house, and never liked to run around.
Speaking of Jiang Yan, she also said that she is sensible, in addition to making tea and embroidering, she also likes to make some things by herself, and she talks and laughs with the little maids every day, and the relationship is very good.
She didn't have an opinion on Jiang Yan, she just felt that Hongxuan was a few years older than her, and if there was a chance in the future, it would be better to give Hongxuan this time.
Who knew that this time Jia's mother changed the selection criteria, she sent to Baoyu's side of the attacker, Qingwen two, one docile and one dexterous, one static and one moving, this time she was going to choose a more balanced one, lest she be too gentle to persuade Baoyu to mess around, too lively to follow him.
After listening to Mandarin Duck's words and her previous impression, Jia Mu directly decided that Jiang Yan would go to Qianyunxuan.
Jiang Yan was stupid when she heard the news, although she wanted to be promoted to the second class, she didn't want to go to Jia Baoyu! Now there is Mama Li's faction, the attacking faction, the neutral faction, the surface is harmonious, but secretly there is no less stumbling block, and when Jia Baoyu is older, I don't know what it will be like!
Jiang Yan smiled and dealt with the people who came to Daoxi, and immediately went to find the mandarin duck, she didn't understand, why did she choose her? The mandarin duck is still strange, I thought that if I said that, the old lady would definitely choose Hongxuan, but I didn't know that I chose Shuang'er. She had to say something like the old lady valued you and sent her away.
During the lunch break, Green Aya came to her and congratulated her with a smile, Jiang Yan said with a sad face: "You also came to have fun, don't you know what I think?" Everyone thinks it's a beautiful difference, but I'd rather stay with the old lady and be a little girl. Why did you choose me? ”
"You are the only one in the little maid who has won several awards from the old lady, and it is normal to choose you. Hongxuan is an old senior, but she has never shown her face to the old lady, she is too honest, and I don't think it is suitable to go to Baoyu. ”
Jiang Yan held her grievances, "Am I not honest?" I'm honest too. ”
Midoriya glanced at her, "Who was it that went to Lixiangyuan to play for a long time yesterday?" ”
Jiang Yan defended himself: "Isn't that snowing? I'm also afraid that I won't be able to be on duty if I catch a cold. ”
"You just have a lot of reasons," Midori Aya sat down beside her, "I naturally know your thoughts, but the old lady is all decided, what can you do?" It's better to think about the good places, after all, you are also second-class. If I continue to stay with the old lady, I don't know how many years it will take. As for the matter over there, you are given by the old lady, and no one dares to do anything to you! You see that Qingwen hasn't leaned towards anyone, isn't it just as good. ”
"I also know this, but the environment is smoky, even if you don't choke people, the people inside won't be in a good mood, don't you think Qingwen's mouth is getting more and more powerful?" Jiang Yan supported her hand with her hand, "I feel a headache when I think about it, it's not a day or two, at least a few years!" ”
In fact, Jiang Yan didn't know that it was useless to complain, she was really unwilling, you did a good job in the president's office, the relationship between colleagues was good, and the boss was also kind, and suddenly you were transferred to a department with fierce struggle in the office, and the money didn't increase much, except for those who want to hug the minister's thighs, who is willing to change?
Midoriya patted her head, "Okay, at least Baoyu is not difficult to serve, if you come to us too much, he won't say anything about you." ”
Jiang Yan fell on the table and sighed, "This is also the only advantage." ”
"If you are heard by others, you will have to be smacked," Midoriya pulled her up, "I invited you to dinner when I was promoted to the second class, and I guess you won't be able to escape this time, so why don't you go to the kitchen to say hello, otherwise it will cost you a lot more." ”
As soon as Jiang Yan heard this, she was not decadent and depressed, and immediately ran to the kitchen. Her money was all bought the day before yesterday, and there was only a little left, but she couldn't spend more.
In the evening, Baoyu came back from outside, and Jia's mother said to him: "You went to a Qianxue in the house, and I can't find one to take advantage of for a while, it just so happens that my Shuang'er here can make tea, so I will go to your house in the future." ”
Jiang Yan stepped forward and saluted Baoyu.
"Shuang'er is the ancestor's person, and he is the most clever," Baoyu said that the monkey went to Jia's mother and coquettishly said: "I know that the ancestor loves me." ”
Baoyu returned to Qianyunxuan after dinner, and Jiang Yan also followed the attacker back with him. When it was time for the maids to eat, Jiang Yan pulled a few little maids who had been promised before to the kitchen to pick up the dishes.
Jiang Yan is very popular in Rongqing Hall, and everyone who is not worthy of her hospitality has come, and even the green silk has come over awkwardly to say hello. Everyone put the table together, sat in a circle lively, put hot ham stewed elbows, meatball casserole, roasted pheasant, braised pork, stewed mutton soup, etc., and scalded a pot of wine, everyone poured a glass, everyone laughed while eating and drinking, because it was rare once, and the big girls did not come to restrain them, until the end of the second watch.
Mother Jia didn't tell Baoyu that Jiang Yan didn't want to move all the covers directly to Qianyunxuan, and it was a little late to entertain at night, she was afraid that moving things would disturb others, so Jiang Yan still slept in the previous house this night.
It's a rare time, Jiang Yan actually has some insomnia, she has always wanted to stay in Rongqing Hall, not far and not close, from a bystander's point of view, the grievances and hatreds of these protagonists and supporting characters, but I didn't expect it to be involved, what will I do in the future? If there is more contact, there will definitely be feelings, can she really stand by and watch them step by step towards tragedy?
Jiang Yan turned over and covered her head in the quilt, no matter what, what should happen in the future, she will definitely have a way when it comes to the end.
When she got up early the next day, Jiang Yan habitually wanted to clean the corridor, and when she walked outside, she remembered that she didn't have to do these jobs anymore. She walked forward, but Baoyu hadn't gotten up in Qianyun Xuan yet, and they were still asleep, only a few little maids were sweeping the floor there. She simply went back to pack her things.
In Jiafu for three years, Jiang Yan didn't have many things, most of her money was spent on food, except for covering clothes, the rest of the burden was full. Apricot Liu'er Green Aya helped her hug her alone, and moved everything over.
Jiang Yan looked at the newly furnished bed, and from today, she will start a new working life.
