Because of the quarrel before leaving, both father and son lost interest in chatting.

I have my hands folded in front of me, and Lai Shunzhui is looking around from behind, secretly reflecting the surrounding terrain and memory fragments against each other.

Anyone who has read the original book knows that the Rongning Erfu family has a great cause, but only by being in it can you truly feel what this family and two men mean.

With Rongning Second Mansion as the center, the back gate is nicknamed Ningrongli, the west of Rongguo Mansion is called Xingrongli, and the east of Ningguo Mansion is called Changningli.

Ningrongli is mostly a branch of the Jia family, Xingrongli is headed by in-laws from Zunrong Mansion, and Changningli is dominated by in-laws from Ningfu.

Outside the front door is Ningrong Street. Ningrong Street is adjacent to Ningrong Lane. To the south of Ningrong Lane is Fenggong City. There is also a newly built Ningrong back lane in the south of Fenggong City.

There is an old servant living in Ningrong Lane.

Those who have recently entered the government are mostly placed in the back alleys of Ningrong - Laijia is one of them.

Although the names are all "alley" and "li", in fact, there are alleys within alleys, alleys leading to alleys, and hundreds of families live in each.

With so many people gathered together in one place, I'm afraid there might not be three or four thousand people taking shelter here!

Talk less.

However, it was said that the father and son moved forward silently, exited the back alley, passed Fenggong City, and saw the entrance of a certain alley. Lai Wang suddenly pointed inside and said: "There is a person named Qian Xue in this alley, do you still remember it?"

This question was really unexpected. I looked at the alley and then at Mr. Cheap, with a puzzled look on his face.

But I heard Lai Wang continue: "She used to be the maid next to Mr. Bao. In the summer, he was kicked out of the house because of a trivial matter. He was kicked out of the house - well, she is a very good girl, but she has never been able to do it in this life.

I’m afraid it’s a waste.”

Before Laishun committed any crime, he also worked as an errand for Jia Baoyu, but his role was more peripheral than that of a maid or a servant.

At this time, hearing what I said, I immediately guessed that he was beating me up about Qian Xue.

only……

I wish I could be kicked out of Laishun!

While slandering me for being a slave and having a sense of superiority, I was thinking about whether to make more mistakes so that Wang Xifeng could kick me out of Rongguo Mansion.

With this thought in his mind, Laishun retorted casually: "Why did it go so wrong? Since she was once in Jia... She was a maid next to Mr. Bao, so her appearance is definitely not bad. She can find a good family to marry.

What’s so difficult?”

"What's so difficult?"

Lai Wang raised his eyebrows and was about to be scolded. He remembered that his son's soul was defective, so he patiently explained: "You think she will not be under the control of the government after she is kicked out? Not to mention that she is married, even if she wants to

Any serious business operations must be approved by the government first!"

After listening to Mr. Baixian's explanation, Laiwang finally understood.

Although Qianxue was kicked out of the government, it did not mean that she would get rid of her slave status - quitting her citizenship was equivalent to the boss actively funding employees to start their own businesses. It was an elusive dream for workers, so how could it be used as a means of punishment?

?

After Qianxue was kicked out, the restraint and oppression she experienced was even greater than when she was a maid.

In order to maintain the majesty of the master and serve as a warning to the monkeys, it is the most common practice to set up various obstacles in the marriage life of the master. Sometimes, they even deliberately allow ruffians to come to provoke trouble, and the reputation of the bad person will ruin the innocence of the other person.

…Therefore, the maids who are kicked out rarely end well.

After hearing this explanation, Laishun felt a chill in her heart, and subconsciously said: "Since everything is like this, she might as well escape from the capital..."

"shut up!"

Lai Wang raised his eyebrows and scolded, and said sternly: "Do you think a runaway slave is easy to be a slave?! Not to mention where she, a little girl, can escape to. Even if she can escape, a picture from the house will be handed over to her.

Tianfu will immediately issue the documents for sea fishing!"

At this point, he glanced at his son and added: "Second Grandma is the best to save face. If you dare to become a runaway slave, she might be able to confiscate our house and use a share as a bonus to reward you!"

After saying that, he took care of himself and took a step forward.

Gan~

Now you know how to save face?

That night when she shouted that she was going to be beaten to death, why didn't she think that the one she was being hit on would be Wang Xifeng's face?

Laishun followed behind and cursed bitterly, while silently giving up the idea of ​​becoming a runaway slave.

After crossing Ningrong Lane and arriving at the west entrance of Ningrong Street, we saw tall white walls and black tiles on both sides, which looked extremely neat and tidy.

Only then did Lai Shun understand why relatives lived at the back door and slaves lived at the front door. If relatives lived in the front, it would be unkind to build a high wall to separate them.

Turning eastward from the street intersection, it takes about a hundred steps to reach the west corner gate of Rongguo Mansion. As a legitimate steward, Lai Wang can enter the mansion unimpeded.

Passing through the corner gate, passing through the corridor, and walking around the corridors and halls, I passed by countless houses and pavilions. Everyone I met was greeted with friendly smiles.

When they reached the intersection between the two doors, they saw a thin woman pacing back and forth in front of the hanging flower door. She kept muttering to herself, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost twisted into a twist.

Seeing her restless look, Laishun hurriedly took two steps and raised his voice: "Mom, what are you doing here?"

That woman is naturally Mrs. Xu.

During these days, Mrs. Xu was busy with Wang Xifeng during the day, and when she got home at night, she would gather around her son to ask him for help, and wait on him with all his clothes on.

Human hearts are made of flesh, and when Laishun called her ‘mother’, she felt no discomfort at all.

As for being cheap, I...

It can only be said that people of the same sex repel each other.

But when Mrs. Xu saw her son, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her son and asked repeatedly: "Are your injuries okay after walking all the way?!"

Before Lai Shun could react, she complained to her husband: "Why are you so anxious? You can't wait until the child gets better before letting him..."

"What are you talking about!"

Lai Wang said displeasedly: "It's not like you haven't heard those rumors. If you don't let him show up again, I'm afraid the whole family will treat him as a fool!"

Seeing that his wife still wanted to talk back, he quickly added: "Didn't you say you wanted to arrange a marriage for him? This would really make him a fool, who would be willing to marry his daughter off?!

Mrs. Xu then gave up, hugged her son and exchanged greetings, then said that after meeting Wang Xifeng, she would take her son to Lixiangyuan for a walk. At that time, the mother-in-law would leave directly through the Dongjiao Gate, so that her husband would not have to wait.

When Lai Wang agreed, Mrs. Xu led Lai Shun into the back house and found three small halls with reverse seats. Seeing that there were many servants waiting in the corridors on both sides, this was obviously where Wang Xifeng handled housework.

.

...Ms. Xu told her son to wait outside, and then went in without calling the maid in front of the door.

Laishun stood alone in the courtyard. At first he didn't notice anything, but gradually he began to feel restless.

The most coveted women in the Dream of Red Mansions are undoubtedly Daiyu and Baochai. But according to the information he has collected these days, Baochai is only fourteen years old, and Daiyu is only eleven years old. They are really strong at such a young age.

Can't bear the fantasies of men.

On the contrary, Wang Xifeng is now in his early twenties, which is a good time for the newly ripened peaches and plums to moisten the mouth and promote fluid production.

Due to his fuzzy memory, he only vaguely remembered that the other party was a coy and pretty woman, but he couldn't recall the specific figure and appearance.

At this moment, thinking about going to see her, the coveting thoughts are like weeds that cannot be shoveled clean.

I'm worried that Wang Xifeng will notice my disobedient and angry look, but if I just look at her secretly with an 'appreciative' attitude, I shouldn't worry about it, right?

It has to be said that Laishun thought he had corrected his mentality, but in fact he was just not floating so high anymore, and his thoughts were still not in line with his identity.

But on the other hand, if he can really correct his mentality and regard himself as a slave of Rongguo Mansion, he will not look like a time traveler.

However, everything has its disadvantages and advantages. He only cares about scratching his heart, and gradually forgets the humiliation of kneeling down and admitting his mistake.

Just at this moment, the door curtain of the main room was lifted, and Mrs. Xu walked out again with a happy face.

Laishun's heart beat rapidly, and she subconsciously took two steps forward, waiting to go in and pay homage to the 'Female Bodhisattva'. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu said, "Second Grandma asked us to go directly to Lixiangyuan."

Go directly to Lixiangyuan?

He Zhe had been saving up for several days, but for the first time, his hot face was pressed against his cold butt!

I had so much expectations for Laishun just now, but now I feel so disappointed.

I deliberately asked Wang Xifeng why he refused to see me, but the servants and women in the corridor looked sideways. It was not convenient to talk, so I had no choice but to follow Xu out of the place.

"Auntie, auntie, come to auntie!"

I didn't want to just walk far away when I heard someone calling from behind me.

Looking back, she saw a young woman chasing after her. When she saw Laishun and her son stopping, she stopped shouting. Her slender waist was spread out and she stepped hastily. Although her feet were fast, her demeanor was not distracted at all.

When Mrs. Xu saw this, she rushed over to greet her and asked, "But what else does grandma have to explain?"

The young woman came closer, but she looked at Laishun generously first, and then smiled at Mrs. Xu: "Laishun is really good. Auntie didn't think about food and dinner a few days ago, so I thought he was being fooled."

How could it happen?"

"Thanks to those good medicinal materials you gave me!"

Mrs. Xu said, seeing her son just laughing at him, she hurriedly reminded him: "What are you doing in such a daze? Why don't you thank your sister Ping'er quickly?"

It turns out to be Ping'er!

Jia Lian's maid, Wang Xifeng's number one confidant, is also one of the most colorful characters in the original book.

When he came to Shun, Weiwei thanked him, and he secretly looked at the woman in front of him. He saw that she was wearing a long goose-yellow dress, with silver thread around her neck, tassels on her waist, gold bracelets around her slender wrists, and a jade hairpin hanging diagonally on her high bun.

It is said to be jewels and jewels, but it also has its own wealth and splendor.

...Her face is clear and watery, and there is not much makeup or powder on it. She just has an elegant and pleasant face, full of warmth and kindness.

It is said that she is something to be seen from a distance and not to be played with, but she is so approachable that people cannot have any delusions about her.

But precisely because the servant was like this, Laishun regretted not being able to see Wang Xifeng even more.

At this time, I heard Ping'er laugh and say: "I'm just an errand boy, what kind of thanks do I deserve? If you want to thank me, you should thank Second Grandma."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice slightly: "Auntie knows best that she has a temperament that protects her shortcomings. She did something cruel that day in a moment of anger, and she regretted it later."

Lai Shun believed this at most 30% of the time. It might be true to protect one's shortcomings, but to say that Wang Xifeng regretted beating herself was absolutely impossible - otherwise she wouldn't have seen him and sent him away.

But the idea was an idea, but Lai Shun didn't dare to show it on his face, and he was busy thanking his mother again and again.

After chatting for a while, Ping'er got down to business: "Grandma asked me to tell my aunt that Lai Shun's name has been posted in the boiler room. Don't forget to let him pass when the tenth day of the lunar month comes."

Boiler Room?

Has Rongguo Mansion started using boilers for heating?

"Boiler Room?"

Mrs. Xu let out a soft cry and complained: "That area is dirty and tiring, how can my family endure it..."

Halfway through the sentence, I remembered that this was Wang Xifeng's explanation, so I hurriedly stopped talking and went back to make up for it: "It's not that I think this job is hard, it's actually that Shun'er is older now, and it's so smoky all day long.

, making him look like a Stove Lord, for fear of delaying the marriage event."

"Auntie, don't worry."

Ping'er said with relief: "This time the matter is too big, so he has to show off in front of others. This job in the boiler room is not a permanent job. When spring gets warmer next year, there will naturally be good jobs waiting for him."

After saying that, he turned to Laishun: "You have been working hard in the boiler room these past few months, but you don't dare to cause trouble again!"

Although she was a bit serious when she said this, her face was still amiable, so Laishun also responded with a shy smile: "Sister, just don't worry, this time I walked in front of the gate of hell. Not to mention the great enlightenment and enlightenment, I became a Buddha immediately."

, you have to make some progress no matter what."

Ping'er was obviously a little surprised when he heard this. He couldn't help but look at Laishun again, and then nodded and said: "You are much smarter than before. As the old saying goes, good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. If you can really change your temper, it won't be a bad idea.

Not a good thing."

After saying that, he bowed slightly to Mrs. Xu: "Auntie, don't you want to go to Lixiangyuan? Second Mistress is inseparable from people, so I won't delay you."

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Xu, she turned around and went back the way she came.

But after taking a few steps, Ping'er suddenly turned around and asked, "Laishun, I heard that you can't even remember what happened before you got drunk that night?"

Without waiting for a response, she asked and answered herself: "It's okay if you forget, but you must be more careful in the future. You must know who you can make friends with and who you cannot associate with."
