10 Qingwen

In the first week of coming to Jia's Mother House, Yunzhu always kept in mind her status as a third-class maid. She worked diligently to take care of all the affairs in the tea room every day, never being pushy. After all, if someone summoned

If she goes to do other things, her qualifications will only be enough to follow her.

The more things you do, the more mistakes you make.

Before she was completely familiar with the environment, Yunzhu did not dare to step out of her comfort zone easily. Admittedly, the current circle was not comfortable.

Fortunately, she was just a little girl under the age of six, so the work in the yard was almost never done to her, so it was considered fishing in a sense.

But looking at the half-made knot in her hand, her brows furrowed again. This was the skill that Pearl asked her to learn. It was really difficult!

The old lady is the highest authority in the Rong Mansion. There are countless things to be rewarded during the Four Seasons and Eight Festivals. Generally, to a servant with a moderate status, the money given out cannot be bare money, but needs to be packed in a purse.

It's a courtesy given by the host.

Well, it's like a red envelope cover.

She is currently knitting the red envelope cover. This thing is several levels more difficult than knitting a sweater. The colored thread used to make the loop is not much thicker than the thread used to sew clothes. For a novice like her, it takes a long time to make a loop.

It took three nights.

My eyes almost went blind before I typed out a mediocre red envelope.

She is young, and is just an inconspicuous third-class maid. She has no need to wear makeup for work, so when the big maids gather together to discuss rouge, gouache, and eyebrow painting, she does not participate in most of them.

Just now after a group of people finished chatting in the side room and dispersed, Amber went out with Xi Ren not knowing what to do. Seeing this, Qingwen from Jiangyunxuan acted like a cat that had stepped on its tail, and started acting up in the side room again. Then

Yun Zhu's eyes were filled with the anxious look on his pale face, almost like he was playing a girl's temper.

She was asked to say that Qingwen was good in everything, but she only had this temper and was the most petty, which was too offending.

But she neither dared to go up to try to persuade her, nor dared to hide aside and watch the joke, so she had to hide in the house and stroke the colorful thread. Tie-making was the first practical skill in her maid career, and it was impossible not to learn it if she wanted to be lazy.

While stroking the colorful thread, she wondered in her heart, Hu Hue and Xi Ren were already good friends, and they often went in and out holding hands, so what happened if they wanted to talk privately? She didn't understand what Qingwen was angry about, but she didn't

Dare to ask.

After knitting three more rows, the red envelope will be finished. Yunzhu cheered secretly in her heart and started sewing by the window again.

The half-open cotton curtain was opened, and the cold wind from outside suddenly blew in, along with a beautiful girl with a rosy complexion.

It's a pearl.

"Sister Yunzhu."

Dressed in a pale pink cotton jacket, with a flower-wrapped pearl hairpin on her head, and a string of swaying gold osmanthus tassels hanging from the end of the hairpin. It is not a precious thing, but the maid wears gold and silver.

, is a reward from the master. For a servant like Yunzhu, it is already considered honorable to have a pair of spring cicada cards covered with silver and copper.

This is a concrete manifestation of the feudal social hierarchy.

"Yes." Yunzhu put down the colored thread, stood up and blessed Pearl with a blessing gift.

Pearl's expression was indifferent, her eyes wandered around the room, and then she said, "I didn't see you in the room, so I guess you are still here."

Not sure what happened to Pearl, Yun Zhu thought in her mind that the old lady had gone out to meet the male guest early this morning. The tea room did not need anyone to be on duty. Pearl went to the dormitory to find her explanation and agreed that after the old lady went out, they

Even if the little maid is on vacation.

But Yunzhu considers herself to be serious and responsible for this high-paying job. Ying'er has already left her shift and gone home. She is the only third-class maid left in the tea room. Once the old lady comes back early, or if there are ladies who come to visit but there is no

Doesn't drinking tea become a 'work error'?

"I'm not looking for you to do anything, just sit here." Seeing Yunzhu turning on the charcoal stove to boil water, Pearl quickly interrupted her action.

Don’t you want freshly brewed tea? So she turned around to find a pot of jasmine tea that she was drinking and wanted to pour her a bowl. Unexpectedly, seeing no one around, Zhenzhu came to her side and said, "Second Master Bao and his nanny are quarreling."

, if you hear any noise, don’t go out!”

"Is there still such a thing?" Yunzhu muttered, covering her mouth.

But he was complaining in his heart, what's so strange? Jia Baoyu would have a small temper every three days, and a big temper every five days, but this time it was his wet nurse's turn to take advantage of his anger?

Seeing Pearl sitting down on the futon under the window, she clearly refused to get involved with Jia Baoyu's temper, so she could only continue to follow the conversation: "Do you want to tell the old lady as soon as possible?"

Of course, if children fight, they should tell their parents as early as possible.

"That's not necessary. It's just a trivial matter. It's not our business to worry about our masters."

Yunzhu laughed naively and said yes, but she shouted in her heart, "I'm not going to give you the gossip! Then don't tell me in the first place!"

"But Mr. Bao dropped the cup this time, which shows that he is very angry!"

Stroking the colorful thread, I heard Pearl talk about the main courtyard at one time or another. Although Jia Baoyu lived in Jiangyunxuan in Jia Mu's courtyard, he was still a few steps away from Yunzhu's tea room, but the servants

They are the most well-informed. No matter what the reason is, there will always be witnesses present who will throw out the inside story every few days.

There is a fierce daughter-in-law like Wang Xifeng taking care of the house in the house. Her resolute and resolute character is only respected and feared by the servants. With her here, the truth will only emerge faster.

Listening to the shouting arguments in the courtyard, Yunzhu thought for a moment before remembering that today Wang Xifeng went to see Uncle Rong and his brother-in-law Qin Xianggong. Not only Wang Xifeng went, but also many ladies and masters in the mansion.

That's why I got this half-day rest.

"Is the old lady back?" Yunzhu said, sitting under the window and looking at Pearl, who was leaning on her face.

"Um?"

Pearl hurriedly leaned against the window to listen to what was going on outside. After a moment, she shook her head and said, "It's not the old lady, it's Sister Yuanyang."

Are the mandarin ducks judging Qingwen?

Qingwen is the maid in Jia Baoyu's room. Her cute and straightforward personality is not very popular among the little maids. She often chokes people to death with just a few words, but she can't stand it.

What trouble was caused?

It is indeed the first time that I have been so angry today.

Yunzhu cut out two fan shapes from the old embroidery paper, and picked up two rice particles from the parrot food bowl hanging on the corridor and glued them into a receiver. The larger end was placed on the wall, and the smaller end was buckled.

After hearing the voices outside clearly, he handed the other receiver to Pearl in surprise.

Pearl was a few years older than her, and she was at the age when she was playful. She didn't mind the sticky tubes of parrot food. She leaned against the wall and imitated Yunzhu, putting the paper patterns on her ears. After hearing the sounds inside, she

I couldn't help being surprised.

"You evil-hearted girl!" He was hurting her with his words, but he was extremely honest with his body and put his ears close to listen carefully to what was going on outside.

What's the point of listening to a corner alone? Of course, bad things can only be done safely if two people work together.

"It's the voices of Sister Yuanyang and Sister Hubo." They were talking about Jia Baoyu's drunken madness last night. What else happened?

She secretly wondered in her heart that she slept too much. Now that she was growing up, her sleep quality had always been very good. Girls of her age in the hospital did not have night shifts, so they always occupied the bed and slept without any worries.

I had no idea that someone was drunk and crazy last night.

"Shh!" Pearl glanced at her, then turned her attention to the receiver.

Yunzhu nodded and quietly put his ear against the receiver.

Qingwen was very articulate, and as soon as Yuanyang finished asking about what happened last night, she started talking about the reason as if she was pouring beans.

"It was Grandma Li who had a drink at Aunt Xue's house. When she came back to sober up, she drank the maple dew tea left for Second Master Bao. Unexpectedly, Second Master Bao was annoyed outside and was furious when he came back. For a while, he couldn't find any tea to quench his thirst.

I just broke two lamps."

Before Qingwen finished speaking, Grandma Li started to scold Qingwen for confusing right and wrong, and Jiangyunxuan suddenly became a noisy mess. It hurt her ears, so Yunzhu had to take off the receiver.

Seeing that Zhenzhu was still listening with great interest, she sat quietly aside and stroked the colorful thread without making a sound.

But I was thinking in my heart, Grandma Li is Jia Baoyu’s nanny. According to a family like the Jia family, the nannies of the young masters and ladies are considered half masters. They usually provide delicious food and drink, but they are just the master of a cup.

Just drink the tea at home, it doesn’t matter at all.

But the strange thing about this is that Jia Baoyu never plays his cards according to common sense, and the maids are very competitive with each other. From Yunzhu's point of view, someone in Jiangyunxuan may suffer because of this!

After all, the lower classes of feudal society are naturally good candidates for taking the blame. Is the master in the wrong? It must be you who are not good at serving.

What's more, the young master's maids are almost all aunts and concubines in the eyes of outsiders. If the nanny can't take over the main wife, how can he not take over these little girls?

There is no eldest wife in Jia Baoyu's backyard now. According to unreliable but credible information, this Grandma Li has always been greedy. Anyone who wants to be a concubine in Jiangyunxuan will never escape her capture.

, what happened today, is it the little maids taking revenge on Grandma Li?

"Qingwen is such a little girl, how careless she is in serving the second master! When the tea ran out, she replenished it in time. Why bother causing such an incident?" Pearl murmured with her ear against the wall, after hearing the whole story.

Look, even the maid herself felt that it was her fault.

Pearl seemed to be complaining or lamenting. The folded paper receiver fell apart within two minutes after squeezing it in her hand. When Yunzhu saw it, she felt somewhat clear.

When the master is angry, the person serving him is right and wrong, and wrong is even worse.

She wanted to persuade Pearl, but she had set rules for herself and never gossiped about others behind their backs. This courtyard seemed to be full of flowers and everyone was equal, but in fact, there were distinct classes and strict rules.

No one can guarantee whether there is a third ear.
