Chapter 31

In addition to Gongzhong's, the old lady and Yuchen also have gifts for the annual gift from Hebei. The old lady's is a long-lived crutch, which is made of rare precious wood, which is only available in Chengde, Hebei Province. Its wood is white and flawless, delicate as jade, and it has the reputation of false ivory.

What Yuchen got was also a wall screen with a picture of flowers and birds carved in wood. The flowers and birds on the wall screen were as if they were alive. The carving work was extremely fine.

Yuchen likes this thing very much. It's not only because of its originality, but also because her father sent it. In these years, there will be gifts on the jade Festival, and also on the birthday. Every time I get something, jade Chen will hang out, this time is no exception.

Yuxi has red Shan as a kind of revenger, who is very clear about the major events in the mansion. So Yuchen got a pair of screen hanging things she soon knew.

Hongshan didn't want to say it at first. The third girl got the gift from the master, but the girl in her family has nothing. The girl knows it's uncomfortable. But Yuxi wants to ask, not to say no.

Yuxi was sad for this for a long time in her last life, but now she didn't pay attention to it at all: "there is nothing rare in the capital city. As long as you have money, you can buy it. It's just in front of me."

Hongshan looked at Yuxi carefully, and found that she was not sad. She said bravely, "girl, I think it's not the meaning of the master, it's the meaning of the third lady." Hongshan hopes Yuxi doesn't resent the third master. After all, the third master is his father, and his daughter will depend on his father later.

Yuxi said with a smile, "it doesn't matter who you mean. Besides this, is there anything else in the mansion these two days? "

Hongshan shook her head and said, "nothing happened in this quiet period of time."

Yuxi listened to this, no response, turned around and looked at her chess manual. Now Yuxi is to watch the chess manual as long as he has time. He plays chess while watching the chess manual. He can be used by two people by himself, forgetting to eat and sleep. According to Mo Ju and others, their girls have gone mad.

Shen's mother watched Hongshan come out of the room and asked in a low voice, "what did the girl say?"

Hongshan knew that if she said that the girl didn't care about hanging the screen, her mother would surely tell the old lady about it. I don't know why. Hongshan has a feeling that there is no performance on the girl's face. In fact, she knows what they have done in her heart. Subconsciously, Hongshan didn't tell the truth: "the girl is very sad. She said that she wanted to stay alone for a while and didn't want to be disturbed."

Shen's mother was skeptical and asked, "really?"

Hongshan scolds in her heart. This kind of thankless thing makes her rush forward. If the old lady scolds the girl, then the responsibility will be put on her. This Shen mother-in-law is really good. But Hongshan didn't dare to offend Mrs. Shen. She said with a smile, "what do I cheat my mother for?"

Shen's mother was dubious, but when she saw that Yuxi's eyes were red and her face was not good, she believed Hongshan's words.

Yuxi looks at Shen's mother's appearance, but she has some difficulty. She really doesn't understand what the old lady thinks now? She is afraid that she will retaliate because of the doctor's affairs. If she doesn't have this ability, she will not retaliate even if she has this ability in the future due to her filial piety: "Hongshan, let your brother send a letter to Fang's mother, and you can ask her to go to the government for a visit in the new year." She has something to tell Fang's mother. I have been very busy before, but these two days my husband will have a holiday, and she will be able to relax for a while.

"Good," said Hongshan crisply

Mother Fang's steamed buns are very popular and in short supply. Good business income is naturally high. After deducting all kinds of expenses, there are more than 30% of net profits of baozi shop every month. This number is good in Shangyuan street. Fortunately, the people in Shangyuan Street know that the owner of this baozi shop is the government. No one dares to make up his mind, or there will be trouble.

Baozipu is profitable, and Yuxi naturally has a lot of slack hands. The servant girls around her are the direct beneficiaries.

Shen's mother opened her mouth and said nothing at last. She has been serving the girl for more than half a year, but she is still very wary of her. Shen's mother is not stupid. She knows what the girl is guarding against, but it's all ordered by the old lady. She can't disobey. Therefore, the girl's attitude towards her is not cold, and she can only bear it.

In winter, it's dark fast.

Hongshan watched Shen's mother leave the rose yard, then she entered the room and said to Yuxi, who was writing, "girl, I have a few words for you."

Yuxi put down his brush and said, "what do you want to say?"

Hongshan said respectfully, "I know that you have a plan in mind. But there are some things that girls still need to worry about. " Seeing Yuxi looking at her, Hongshan didn't beat around the Bush and said directly, "just like today, the girl is so indifferent to the present that the master only gives you three girls, but she doesn't give you one. If you let the old lady know, she will be happy." Indifference means that there is no expectation for parents. In the eyes of the old lady, the girl is dissatisfied with the third master. She should be filial as a child. If the girl is carrying an unfilial name, she will not be able to get married in the future, even in the mansion.

Yuxi, with a dignified face, said, "what do you want to say? It doesn't matter to speak up. " Yuxi is worried that Hongshan is digging a hole for her, so she has to be careful.

Hongshan said, "girl, I have to be a filial child even if the master is eccentric." Only filial children can make people like and feel relieved.

Yuxi stared at Hongshan. If she could stare out a hole, "I want to know why you want to say these words to me." If it's really digging a hole, it can only be said that Hongshan's courage is too great, because she has to fall into the hole if she's not careful.

Hongshan looked up and said, "I believe in girls." As for the girl who believes, she must know.

Yuxi looks at Hongshan unexpectedly. It's devotion.

Hongshan was so nervous that her palms were sweating, but she didn't regret what she said. Some time ago, it was her turn to take a vacation. She told her father about her latest performance. Her father said that four girls would not be as big as three girls in the future, but it will not be bad in the future. Her father asked her to wait for the girl to be accepted by Mr. Song and serve her wholeheartedly.

Hongshan thought about it for a long time, and finally made her stand before Mr. Song accepted the girl. Otherwise, when you worship under Mr. Song's door, everyone knows that your future is not bad. Then you can't be trusted by you. It's not worth it if you don't get the priority and violate the old lady's wishes.

Yuxi said positively, "your father is the second housekeeper. Even if you don't rely on me, you can find a good way out. Tell me, why are you doing this? I want to hear the truth. "

Since Hongshan has made up her mind to take this road, she will not leave any more room: "girl, I originally wanted to serve the girl for five or six years, when I was seventeen or eighteen, I was also at the age of marriage. If you marry outside, you will have a good life. " According to Hongshan, to marry outside means to marry into a good people's home and become a good wife, so as to get rid of the fate of being a slave or a servant.

"What happened?" Yuxi asked Hongshan suddenly changed her mind. Something must have happened, and it must have been a big deal.

Hongshan's eyes were red: "I have a cousin who has served the old lady before. A few years ago, I went out and married a scholar. This year, my brother-in-law in Qiuwei became a member of the family. After that, their family began to dislike my cousin as a servant girl and felt that her family's reputation had been damaged. A few days ago, my cousin said that she was going to have a rest. My father came to their house. Their family was worried about the family of the government. At last, this matter ended. But my cousin is living a very difficult life now. " Hongshan has a good relationship with her cousin. Looking at her cousin, she looks so haggard in a few months. Her hair is cold in her heart.

Yuxi asked calmly, "you're afraid you'll fall into your cousin's situation, so you don't want to marry outside? Want to marry back in the mansion? "

Hongshan said directly: "people in the mansion have the same identity, and they will certainly not abandon my identity. And the people in the mansion know their roots, so don't worry about being cheated. " Her brother-in-law used to be loyal and honest, or her sister would not have chosen that person. It can only be said that the man's disguise is so good that his whole family is out of sight. There is no such worry when you look in the mansion. After all, it's OK to inquire about a person's details in the same residence.

This time, Hongshan was hit so hard that she didn't want to marry outside again.

Yuxi didn't answer Hongshan directly, but asked a question: "what's the matter with calligraphy?" It's not stupid to be able to climb the second-class servant girl in the upper house. But Hongshan is stupid about the calligraphy. She tells her things without thinking. Yuxi felt strange at that time, but she didn't ask much.

Hongshan knelt on the ground and said with a white face: "mother Shen asked me to tell her everything about the girl. I didn't want to do such a thing. It happened that sister Ziyi came to me to talk about the calligraphy." Hongshan does this to alienate Yuxi from her and keep her away from her. In this way, she knows that Yuxi's business is less and there is nothing to report to Shen's mother.

Yuxi suddenly realized that there was a reason: "you are not afraid that I can not give you a future?"

Hongshan had let go and said, "that's my life, too." In fact, it can be seen from Fang's mother's story that as long as she is devoted to the girl, she will certainly not ignore her.

It's very cost-effective for her to win Hongshan's loyalty. Yuxi said, "as long as you can do it, I will not let you fall into your cousin's situation."

Hongshan's heart returned to her stomach. Her cousin's affair made her cold, which also made her afraid to marry outside. If she married in the mansion, she had to find a support. Although her father is the second housekeeper, he is old, and her two brothers are not smart people, so they will not be able to take up her father's job in the future. If there is no strong backing, the future will be just as sad. This is the real reason why she committed to Yuxi. For the future, Hongshan decided to gamble. As for whether we win or lose, we need time to prove it.
