Red Mansion, Second Master Lian is too despicable

Chapter 110 Extra: Biyue’s autobiography
My name is Biyue, and I am Grandma Zhu's maid.Because we followed Grandma Zhu, Suyun and I didn't suffer at all after the Jia family's defeat.

[-]. The quiet and peaceful Daoxiang Village

Originally, I am a very lively person, and usually I just envy those maids elsewhere.In terms of liveliness, the first one is Yihongyuan. There are many people there. Baoyu treats people well, and even Xiren is easy to deal with. I still remember that year our grandma’s handkerchief was left there. Early in the morning , and sent me to look for it.

I knew very well that our grandma was a widow, and this veil was a personal and personal item that must not be lost, so I hurriedly agreed to go.Entering the house, I saw Baoyu wearing a chinchilla coat. The quilts in the house had not yet been folded, and the girls were not wearing coats.Qingwen only wore a green silk coat, a red coat and red sleeping shoes, with her hair down, and she was riding on Fang Guan.She Yue, wearing a red silk tube top and old clothes, was grabbing Fangguan's ribs.But Fang Guan was lying on the kang, wearing a flowered tights, red trousers and green socks, kicking his feet around, laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe.

Baoyu then stepped forward and said with a smile: "Two older ones are bullying the younger one, please wait for me to help." After saying that, Qingwen also came to bed.Qingwen felt itchy and laughed so hard that she quickly dropped Fang Guan and started scratching Baoyu.Fang Guan took advantage of the situation and pushed Qingwen down again and grabbed her ribs.Although Xiren didn't play, he laughed and said: "Be careful, it's freezing."

I saw Xiaoyan smiling at the four of them wrapped together for a while, and she also laughed and said, "Grandma forgot a handkerchief here last night. I wonder if it is here?" Xiaoyan said, "Yes. Yes, yes, I picked it up on the ground. I didn’t know which one it belonged to, so I washed it out and hung it to dry. It’s not dry yet.” I saw the four of them rolling around and said, “It’s quite lively here. I got up early in the morning. Baoyu said with a smile: "There are a lot of people there, so why aren't you naughty?" I said, "Our grandma is not naughty, she even invited two aunts and girl Qin to stay. Now Qin The girl went ahead with the old lady again, and she became even more lonely. The two aunts had passed away this year, and they all left next winter, and they were even more lonely. Look at Miss Bao's place, how deserted it is now that a Xiangling has gone out. I left Miss Yun alone."

Just as he was talking, Xiangyun sent Cui Lu again and said, "Please come out and read the good poems." After hearing this, Baoyu hurriedly asked: "Where are the good poems?" Cui Wei smiled and said, "The girls are all here." At Qinfang Pavilion, you will know when you go there." After hearing this, Baoyu hurriedly went to wash up.I took the handkerchief and returned to Daoxiang Village without mentioning it.

When I gave the veil to grandma and I handed over the errand, grandma also breathed a sigh of relief.Over there, Langeer had already washed up and was just reading and writing quietly by himself.Grandma had nothing to do, so she stayed with Langeer to do the work.My mother and I spend their time like this on a normal day. Recently, grandma said that Brother Lang is getting older and he can no longer just study. He should also practice archery in his free time.Nalan Geer went to practice with his master, sometimes shooting deer in the garden.Our grandma looked happy.

[-]. The young widowed grandma

Speaking of which, our grandma has a good family background. She was the eldest daughter of a well-known family. Although she is not as talented as the girls in the house, she is also educated. However, the master of the family believes that "a woman has virtue without talent", so I never asked my grandma to focus on reading and writing poems. She only focused on knitting women's clothing.

In this way, grandma also became the president of Baoyu and the girls' poetry club. Grandma said that although she was not good at writing, her comments were the most fair.No, Baoyu and the girls gathered around Miss Lin and entered our Daoxiang Village, asking grandma to read some peach blossom poems.

A while ago, because Second Grandma Lian was ill, our grandmother and the third girl had no time to take care of the housework. Then came the New Year and the holidays, and there were many chores, and the poetry club of the previous year was not mentioned.Nowadays, everyone is passing around Miss Lin's peach blossom poems and praising them. Our grandma even proposed to change "Begonia Club" to "Peach Blossom Club", recommended Miss Lin as the owner, and agreed to meet at Xiaoxiang Pavilion the next day. Composed poems and started a club.I saw my grandma happy, and I was even more happy.Unexpectedly, it coincided with the birthday of the third girl, and the sisters had to accompany the old lady and joke around for a day, so it was changed to the fifth day of the lunar month.

But unexpectedly, the master's letter arrived, telling him that he would go to Beijing and return home in June or July.It doesn't matter to others, but Baoyu is most afraid of the master checking his homework. Even if the old lady is there to protect him, it will be of no use.So the poetry club was not even mentioned.Speaking of which, Baoyu is not up to par. If he worked half as hard as our brother Lang, why would he be like this?An uncle is not as good as a nephew, and he is also very shy.

Our grandma is also a really miserable person. If the uncle were still alive, how could he be so miserable?Our grandma is a young lady from an aristocratic family, with a dignified appearance, a wonderful temperament, and a charitable heart. She is married to an uncle. If the uncle is still alive, how can she not be a housekeeper grandma?Just because the uncle died young and our family has strict rules, the widowed grandmother is not allowed to take care of things. She only leaves the girls to teach principles and learn to make needlework. Such a large family business is left to the second grandmother Na Lian!

Second Mistress Lian was originally the wife's niece, and she married the Eldest Master's son, Second Master Lian, so she had nothing to do with our branch.But because the old lady preferred her, she was asked to come here and handed over to the butler here.In this regard, our grandma has nothing to say, she is used to aloof from the world, and only treats people well, no matter whether she is a servant or a master, no one says a word about her.

But behind the scenes, I can't help but feel sorry for our grandma: Seriously, our grandma is my wife's daughter-in-law, and Lange'er is my wife's grandson, but because of a precious jade, these two women are actually inferior to each other.The old lady loves Baoyu very much, and Lan Ge'er is still young, so she inevitably ignores her great-grandson, but the lady actually only has Baoyu in her eyes, and even her biological grandson is nothing more than a favor.

Poor Brother Lan doesn't speak much at a young age. He spends all day reading and writing. He is a very lovable good boy.It's just that although he didn't say anything, he had a plan in mind.That Mid-Autumn Festival, our grandma was at the family banquet, and the master asked why Brother Lan was missing.Grandma could only laugh and said: "He said that the master didn't call him, so he refused to come." At that time, everyone said that he was born with a weird heart, but I saw it true. This guy knew it in his heart. He knew that he had lost his father. He also wants to be strong. He will not go forward unless others call him. He will definitely fight for our grandma in the future.[-]. Two sisters-in-law who fight overtly and covertly

Our grandma usually wears light makeup and doesn’t even apply makeup.It's a pity that she is also a young woman, as beautiful as Second Grandma Lian, but she cannot dress up.Grandma Zhen from Dongfu came to our house that day. After washing her face, she had no makeup. Suyun took grandma's makeup and her own rouge and said with a smile: "This is what our grandma lacks."Grandma doesn't mind it being dirty. This is mine. It can be used for some purposes. Grandma said, "Even though I don't have it, you should go get it from the girls."Why do you bring yours out so openly?Fortunately it was her. If it were someone else, wouldn't it be annoying! "Grandma Zhen smiled and said: "It doesn't matter.Since I've been here, who hasn't used it yet, and today it suddenly feels dirty again? "

Grandma Zhen has a good temper and gets along quite well with our grandma. She is not as rigid as Grandma Lian.Although Grandma Zhen is also the wife of Emperor Gaoming and the housekeeper of the East Mansion, she cannot take charge because she is the filler of Uncle Zhen's house and her family background is ordinary.Grandma Lian didn't take her seriously, but our grandma didn't take her seriously, so it was better for her.

Speaking of which, Second Mistress Lian was a very beautiful woman when she was housekeeper. Who did she see in her eyes?Because of the poetry club that year, our grandma took Baoyu and the girls to her to ask for money. She half-truthed and half-falsely asked our grandma to add money to play with her sister-in-law. She made some nonsense and then said calmly: "You have ten taels of silver a month." Your monthly money is twice as much as ours. The old lady and my wife also said that you are a 'widow and unemployed'. You are pitiful and not enough. There is another boy who has added another ten taels of silver, which is equal to the old lady and my wife. ; I will also give you the land in your garden, and everyone will get a rent; at the end of the year, you will be the best. There are only ten masters and slaves in your wives, and the food and clothing are still the same as those of high officials. In total, there are four to five hundred silver. Now you can spend one or two hundred taels every year to play with them. How many years will it last? They leave tomorrow, can't you still compensate them?"

She said it lightly, but who didn't know that she used the monthly money from the house to lend money?Although our grandma was honest, she was irritated that time, but she didn't show it on her face. She just smiled and said: "Listen, I said one thing, and he said two things like a scoundrel! He is really a bachelor with dirty legs, a professional You know how to make careful calculations and divide money and money. You are a poor thing, and you still have to be born into a family of poets, scholars, and officials. You are still like this after you get married. You want to be born into a poor and small family, and you have done it. You little girl, you still don’t know how to act! Everyone in the world has asked you to plot against you!"

Not to mention, our grandma decided to arrange a tie with her in advance.That day was originally the second grandma's birthday. Because the old lady loved her, she imitated the little family and joined in celebrating her birthday for fun. She also let Grandma Zhen make a show of it, and she stole the limelight for a while.But how can there be any reason in the world for one person to take advantage of all the good things?
On that day, the unpromising second master Lian had an affair with the second Bao's family in his own house, but was broken by the second grandma.For a while, everyone knew about the disturbance, but for some reason, it became even.Ping'er was originally the housemaid she brought from home, who served her since she was a child, and was utterly loyal to her.Originally, in order to win over the second master, he forced Miss Ping to become a houseguest, but because she was jealous, after all, the two of them didn't spend much time together all year round.Now being beaten for no reason, who would not be pitiful?It was difficult for her to be such a good girl, and our grandma loved her the most in her heart, so she complained for her that day and blocked the mouth of the second grandma.The second grandma couldn't do anything, so she had to put it off.

It’s true that grandma loves Ping’er.She always felt sorry for herself that she didn't have such an arm as Ping'er. The uncle left early, and two or three people from the house came first. But because the uncle was dead, they couldn't keep up. Things happened every now and then, and grandma sent them all away because of her pure intentions. .Both Suyun and I were picked up later to serve grandma, and the maids that grandma brought over as a dowry had already left and scattered.Grandma often said that if you have no choice, you will delay others.Those of us who are newly picked, although young, but grandma is kind, easy to get along with, and comfortable.Otherwise, Suyun wouldn't have dared to take out her own cosmetics to Grandma Zhen.

[-]. The ending of orphans and widowers
Originally, Lian's second grandmother was ill, and the wives had to enter the palace, so the family affairs were entrusted to grandma, third girl and Bao girl.Miss Bao is a relative, and although she makes suggestions, she is separated by a layer, and she refuses to stand out.Our grandma is a widow, and she is also kind and charitable. I don’t want to say too much. But the third girl is a decent person and capable. She has done several great things since she took office.

Apart from anything else, she specifically targeted Baoyu and Second Mistress Lian, and refuted everything big and small. I also heard what Ping'er and Xiren said.There was another thing that even our grandma brought with her, which was the eighty taels of tea and snack money that Baoyu, Brother Huan, and our brother Lan spent in school. The three girls said that they were wasted and wasted.

Naturally, our grandma wouldn’t object to her face to face. Even if she betrayed someone, she didn’t say anything.Suyun and I heard from the outside that Aunt Zhao was very angry.Come to think of it, Aunt Zhao's monthly money is limited, and these eight taels of silver are considered to be a lot of income. I suddenly thought that it was fake.But Baoyu didn't point to these eight taels of silver. Although our grandma had the pity of the old lady, her monthly income was rich, and her hands were easy, but these eight taels of silver were lost in vain, which was also a loss.But grandma told us that it is whatever the third girl says, no need to say anything.

There is a saying that "there are unpredictable circumstances." We have always envied the liveliness of Yihongyuan, but we did not expect that one day, Yihongyuan would turn into a gloomy and gloomy place.I don’t know if Qingwen and the others made some big mistake and were kicked out by their wife.

Those four sons and Fang Guan were nothing more than that, Qingwen was originally an old man who was entrusted by the old lady to Baoyu, but she ended up with the same fate. I can't figure it out.Our grandma ignored us, but Grandma Rizhen came to our house that day and was lost in thought for a long time. It turned out that she had hit a wall with the fourth girl.After a while, the third girl also came and was very angry about the inspection.Since then, the situation in the mansion has deteriorated day by day.Our grandma only guarded Brother Lang's son and ignored everything else. Until the raiders entered the second door that day, Brother Lang was still reluctant to drop the book in his hand!

Even though our house was ransacked, our grandma didn't suffer much.Not to mention that my grandma’s father was a very powerful official in the Imperial Academy, but our grandma was a young and widowed innocent woman. What sins could she have committed?Because grandma was not at fault, her home in Daoxiang Village was not searched.Grandma and I are really blessed people.

Later, the Grand View Garden was closed down, and our grandma moved out to rent a house. Although her natal family was willing to support her and take care of her, grandma was too strong-willed and refused to rely heavily on her natal family.Life was naturally more difficult than in the past, so grandma sent Suyun away because she was two years older than me.The very young ones who could be dispatched were also sent away. In fact, the ones whose parents had been sold and had nowhere to go, were taken in by grandma.I am not a child born in the family, my parents and brothers are all living outside. My grandma promised to let me out in two years and let me do as I please.I am naturally happy and serve my grandma even more diligently.
