Be a maid in the red mansion [Comprehensive]

"Huer, you are going to Jinling to observe filial piety with the master this time. Mother has something to tell you. You are old now, you are half an adult, and you have your own ideas. It's just that you are still worried as a mother when you go to Jinling this time. .”

Zhang's brows were tightly furrowed, full of worry.

"Mother, if you have anything to say, listen, son."

"Lvyin, go out and ask Shufang to bring a bowl of lotus seed soup."

Mrs. Zhang just wanted to say that she remembered that Jiang Wanyin was still there, so she sent Jiang Wanyin away.Jiang Wanyin also guessed what Mrs. Zhang meant and went out as she said.

Although there has been a disharmony between the first and second families of the Rongguo Mansion for a long time, and Mrs. Zhang also has resentment towards Mrs. Jia Shi and Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhang can tell her son about this to make him vigilant, but she does not want to let the servants who are not close to her know what she said. Jia Shishi and Wang's are not.

After Jiang Wanyin went out, Mrs. Zhang took Jia Hu's hand and said:

"Originally, you men shouldn't worry about this inner house, but this time, you are the only one who will go to Jinling as the mother of the big house, so I don't feel at ease; and you are getting older, and it's time for you to know some things."

"This matter has to start with the deceased old lady and wife, your father..."

Mrs. Zhang described the grievances between the old lady and Jia Shi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the relationship between Jia Shi and Jia She's mother and son, the discord between Jia She and Jia Zheng's brothers, the second room's coveting of the title, and Wang's pursuit of the title. She told Jia Hu everything she knew about planning for the title and the housekeeper's right to be murdered in the house.

"My mother told you these things not to make you feel resentful, nor to ask you to take revenge. These things are between us adults, and your father and I will deal with them. If you are not the only one who goes to Jinling , I don’t want to tell you this as a mother.”

"Wei Niang told you this just to remind you to beware of your wife and your second aunt. You are Wei Niang's eldest son, the eldest son of Dafang, the eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion, and the future heir of Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Hu is so clever, even though Mrs. Zhang didn't explain it clearly, Jia Hu understood it.

Because he is the eldest son of Dafang, the eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion, and the future heir of Rongguo Mansion, the second aunt who wants to seize the title will definitely start with him.

"Mother, if something happens to the son, then he will be the second brother?"

"So you must not have any accidents. My mother doesn't want to see anything happen to you."

"Mother, don't worry, the son knows."

Jia Hu also promised with a serious expression on her baby fat face.

"And Wei Niang plans to let Lu Yin follow you to take care of you. She has been serving you by your side all these years, so I can rest assured that she will follow you as Niang."

"Mother, you arrange it."

Jia Hu has no objection to this, after all these years, Jiang Wanyin has been serving him personally, and he is used to it.

Seeing Jia Hu's inattentive look, Zhang hesitated for a while and made a decision after struggling a bit.

"Hu'er, about this green..."

Jiang Wanyin, who was walking towards the main hall with lotus seed soup behind Shufang, Jiang Wanyin didn't know that Mrs. Zhang had told Jia Hu about her special ability.

"grandmother."

Shufang stood outside the door and sounded a reminder, and then Jiang Wanyin heard Zhang's voice.

"... You need to ask Lu Yin to use the things you said for your mother, do you understand?"

"The son knows, and the mother can rest assured."

The mother and son spoke in a low voice, and Jiang Wanyin could hear clearly only because of her extraordinary hearing.

After Zhang called to come in, Jiang Wanyin followed Shufang in.

When the lotus seed soup was available, Mrs. Zhang sent Jia Hu and Shu Fang away, leaving only Jiang Wanyin.

"This time, Hu'er is going to Jinling with Master Fu Ling. My uncle and I have decided that you will follow Hu'er to Jinling to serve Hu'er."

"Yes, grandma."

For such an arrangement, Jiang Wanyin was not surprised at all.Even going to Zhang's mansion, the Zhang family is not at ease to let her follow, let alone going to Jinling to stay away from the Zhang family.

"You must protect Hu'er well, don't let Hu'er fall into other people's schemes. And also watch out for Hu'er for me, don't let him be led by evil people."

Jinling is a gentle and romantic place, there are so many romantic and talented families and children in Jinling, she can't let her Hu'er be spoiled.

Mrs. Zhang told Jiang Wanyin carefully, it can be said that everything is in detail.

"Grandma, don't worry, the slaves have written it down."

"As long as Hu'er can come back safely this time, I will definitely not treat you badly, nor will I treat your family badly."

Hearing this, Jiang Wanyin's eyes lit up, thinking that there might be hope for her wish.Jiang Wanyin saluted Mrs. Zhang respectfully.

"Thank you grandma, servant girl."

The light that flashed in Jiang Wanyin's eyes did not hide from Zhang's eyes.

"Okay, let's go down and pack up."

"Yes, grandma."

When Jiang Wanyin returned to the house, Lu Fei was there.

"I'm home."

"Yeah. Sister Lu Fei, why are you in the house, aren't you going to serve my brother?"

"Brother said he wanted to be alone for a while without being disturbed. I'll be back with the little maids watching over me."

Hearing this, Jiang Wanyin thought that maybe what Zhang said had shocked Jia Hu, so he wanted to be quiet and take it easy.

Jiang Wanyin looked at Lu Fei, who was two years older than her, and now she was a 17-year-old girl.She has a beautiful appearance and a gentle and amiable temperament, even girls from ordinary small families can't match her.

"I heard that Brother Hu is going to Jinling, but Grandma wants you to go with her."

"How does sister know?"

"I guess so. You have been serving Brother Hu all these years. If you want to go to Jinling, you will be indispensable. If you don't follow, I'm afraid Grandma will be worried."

"Grandma ordered, I can't help it, who made us servants."

Just because he is a servant who is not free, he is at the mercy of his master.

"Besides, I haven't been to Jinling yet, so I just need to go and have a look."

With her status, she can only go out with her master and see more scenery.

"I heard that at the beginning of the year, Nanny Lu had already begged for grace from the eldest grandma on behalf of my sister, but is there such a thing?"

In a blink of an eye, Lu Fei has reached the age of being married.Unexpectedly, when Jiang Wanyin suddenly mentioned this matter, Lu Fei couldn't help blushing.

"Who did you hear about?"

"It's no secret that Nanny Lu came to Huaifang Courtyard. I also heard from my sisters. I heard that she is a shopkeeper. It can be seen that Nanny Lu and Grandma love my sister. But have you set a date?"

"It was originally intended to be ordered, but the old lady... this matter must at least wait until after the filial piety."

Originally, Lu Fei's marriage was to be arranged, but the old lady passed away suddenly. Rongguo Mansion will not hold wedding events for at least a year, and the servants of Rongguo Mansion are the same.

"My sister is only seventeen, and I won't be in a hurry until I wait another year. It's just that I'm afraid I'll have to stay in Jinling for a year, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with my sister's happy event. These are my sister's makeup in advance. Yes, I hope my sister won't dislike her even if she has a little heart."

Jiang Wanyin took a set of gold-inlaid silver noodles from her box, and this noodles were rewarded by Mrs. Zhang.Although the masters and sons are a bit shabby, but for the servants, they are very, very respectable.

Generally, servants get the master's reward, but very few get a complete set of honor. Most of them are a hairpin and a pair of earrings. This is the reward Jiang Wanyin got for her great achievements.

"How can this be done? I remember that grandma rewarded you. How can I accept such a valuable thing from you, no way."

"It's just a donut, no matter how precious it is, it can be compared to the sisterhood we have had for more than ten years. If my sister doesn't dislike it, then accept it."

It's just a silver headdress, Jiang Wanyin really didn't feel at ease; besides, a set of headwear is nothing compared to Lu Fei's friendship.Although the old lady is gone, Nanny Lu is an old man who takes care of the old lady. Jia She respects her quite a lot, and being close to the Lu family has more advantages than disadvantages.

Jiang Wanyin said so, and Lu Fei couldn't refuse and accepted; but Lu Fei also listened to Jiang Wanyin's words, and felt that the sisterhood was not in vain, and she paid more attention to the sisterhood with Jiang Wanyin.

After everything was arranged, Jiang Wanyin followed Jia Hu on board the big ship to Jinling.

Everyone was on the same boat, and it was the time of filial piety with Jia Daishan. After boarding the boat, Jia Shishi was grounded in his room to copy scriptures and pray for the old lady.Jia Shishi couldn't see that the big house was good, and before he left, he insisted on criticizing and dismissed the servants Jia Hu brought to serve.

Originally, Jia Shishi's words were very important to Jia Daishan, but after the incident of laughing in the mourning hall, Jia Shishi's weight in Jia Daishan's heart has fallen to the bottom.Afterwards, Jia Shishi tried her best to restore her image in Jia Daishan's heart, but the image of Jia Shishi's management was too good before, and now it is difficult to restore her ugly image.

Wang has to take care of two children and serve Jia Zheng, so naturally he has no time to spare.

As for Jia Min, after Jia Shishi's accident, she lost all energy and stayed in the room after boarding the boat.Jia Hu is also getting older, and has reached the age of taboo, so naturally she wants to avoid Wang and Jia Min.

Jiang Wanyin only focused on taking care of Jia Hu, or looking at the scenery along the road, she didn't care about the rest.

When they arrived in Jinling, after the old lady was buried, the master of the Rongguo Mansion began to observe filial piety behind closed doors.

Now Rongning Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua are still there, and the old lady in the back house has just passed away; Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua are sitting outside, and the old lady is watching inside, and Jia Shishi has not reached Jinling as he wished; Although the clan members like leisure and hate work, they don't think about making progress, and even gradually bully the people with their power; It has become a cancer in the eyes of the people.

Now that Jia Daishan is guarding the spirit at the ancestral house in Jinling, the people of the Jia clan in Jinling have become so obedient, they are afraid that Jia Daishan will find out and get a handle on them.

In the first two or three months of keeping filial piety in Jinling, Jia Shishi and Wang's family were relatively quiet, but after two or three months of peace, the two began to feel restless.

It's just that Jia Hu lives with Jia Zhu and Jia Daishan who have reached the age of enlightenment, which makes the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law afraid to take action easily.

Because of keeping filial piety behind closed doors, Jia Hu even calmed down to study.Jia Hu is a persevering person. Even without Mrs. Zhang watching over him, he still perseveres and never slackens his studies.

Jiang Wanyin sat outside the study doing embroidery work, put down the needle in her hand, twisted her stiff neck, took out a delicate pocket watch from her purse, and checked the time, two hours had passed.Jiang Wanyin put down the embroidery shed in her hand, got up and went into the study, saw Jia Hu was still reading and walked over gently.

"Brother Hu, you have been reading for an hour, take a break. Your eyes are tired after reading for so long, and your body is also stiff after sitting for so long. Go out for a walk in the yard to relieve the strain on your eyes. Tired, but also loose muscles."

"You have to combine work and rest, but your eyes and body must be exhausted. It will be miserable if you can't see clearly like that Chen Xiucai."

What Chen Xiucai couldn't see clearly was only heard after he arrived in Jinling.

Chen Xiucai's house is not far from Jia's ancestral home, so Chen Xiucai's eyesight is broken even when he reads, but his eyes are blurred and he can't see clearly when he is only in his thirties.Because I can't see clearly, there is no way to pass the imperial examination.

When Jiang Wanyin and Jia Hu first arrived in Jinling, they also met Chen Xiucai, because they couldn't see him clearly and had to be supported by servants even when he walked.

Everyone thought that Chen Xiucai was suffering from some serious illness, but only Jiang Wanyin knew that Chen Xiucai must be highly myopic.

Jiang Wanyin was worried that Jia Hu would damage his eyes, so she used Chen Xiucai's example to persuade him.

Not to mention that Jia Hu, who originally blamed Jiang Wanyin for disturbing him, heard about Chen Xiucai, and remembered the rumor that Chen Xiucai's eyes were damaged because of reading books day and night. Finally listened to Jiang Wanyin's persuasion to put down the book and go for a walk.

Jiang Wanyin herself was tired after sitting for a long time, so she walked behind Jia Hu.As the two walked, Jia Hu suddenly turned around and asked her:

"Lvyin, I want to take the county examination after my filial piety next year, what do you think?"

"Brother Hu, are you going to take the imperial examination? Next year?"

Jiang Wanyin was shocked when she heard the words.

"Brother Hu, isn't it too early? Are you too anxious? You are still young, so you can take your time to take the imperial examination."

Next year, next year, Jia Hu will only be [-]th, so it will be too early to worry about taking the imperial examination.

She admits that Jia Hu is smart and good at reading, but this imperial examination is not a joke.It doesn't matter if ordinary family members fail in the exam, but Jia Hu is different.He is the eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion, so many people are staring at him.He is the eldest son of Dafang, Erfang and Jia Shishi are also staring at him.

If Jia Hu failed the exam, it would have a great impact on Da Fang and Jia Hu in the future; but if he passed the exam, Jiang Wanyin was worried that Jia Shi and Wang would not tolerate him even more.

Jiang Wanyin couldn't help worrying, and wanted to persuade Jia Hu to change his mind, but although Jia Hu was young, he was stubborn and never changed his decisions easily.But fortunately, because Jiang Wanyin has been by his side since childhood, Jia Hu can still listen to Jiang Wanyin's words.

"It's getting late. My great-grandfather mentioned before that I want my cousin and I to try it out. This time, we will go back to Jinling to observe the filial piety, but after the filial piety, we just want to try it out."

The Jia family's ancestral home is in Jinling. Under normal circumstances, students have to go back to their original place to take the imperial examination.

"But brother Hu, our house is different from Zhang's house; it's also different in Jinling from the capital city. If the second room and wife know that you want to take the imperial examination, they will definitely stop you. I'm really worried... Now the uncle and the grandmother They are not in Jinling, so we have to guard against the second room and his wife. But we are few in number, I am worried that we will not be able to guard against them."
