Liu Wuer is also a member of the Twelve Hairpins in Jinling.
This is how she is described in the original work: Although she is the daughter of a kitchen servant, she was born into a character that resembles Ping, Xi, Zi, and Yuan.
It means that Liu Wuer's appearance is not inferior to that of Ping'er, Xiren, Zicuckoo, and Yuanyang.
The original book also said that Qian Huai, Aunt Zhao's nephew, saw that Liu Wu'er was good-looking and wanted to use his power to propose marriage, but Liu Wu'er refused.
However, Liu Wuer has always been weak and weak, just like Lin Daiyu.
In the original work, Fang Guan gave the leftover rose water that Jia Baoyu drank to Liu Wu'er. Because Liu's sister-in-law had offended Si Qi and others, Liu Wu'er was wrongly accused of becoming a thief. Although he was cleared of wrongdoing with Ping'er's help,
But judging from Mrs. Wang's reprimand to Fang Guan, Liu Wuer was frightened and wronged by the incident, and then died of illness.
In the last forty chapters of Anonymous, she was brought back to life and arranged to be Jia Baoyu's maid. She was also written in the style of "Qingying", saying that she looked like Qingwen and was mistaken for Qingwen by Jia Baoyu.
.
Now, Liu's sister-in-law suddenly asked Jia Yun to allow her to bring Liu Wu'er to Jia Yun's house often. The reason was that Liu Wu'er was young now and often stayed at home alone without anyone to take care of her.
In fact, this is only one of the reasons.
Another reason is that Sister-in-law Liu and her husband have been slaves of the Rongguo Mansion for a long time, and the Liu Wuer born to them is also the son of the Rongguo Mansion.
Liu Wuer is still young now, and in a year or two, he should be a slave in Rongguo Mansion.
Sister-in-law Liu didn't want to do this. She thought that now she often brought Liu Wu'er to Jia Yun's house. With Liu Wu'er's natural beauty, Jia Yun would probably want to take her as a maid, and maybe she might become a member of the house in the future. This is comparable to
It is much better to be a housekeeper and have children in the Rongguo Mansion.
In Sister Liu's view, with Jia Yun's current status, wouldn't it be easy to ask Rongguo Mansion for Liu Wu'er?
It is written in the original book that Sister-in-law Liu wanted to arrange for Liu Wuer to be Jia Baoyu's maid. She felt that the number of maids in Jia Baoyu's room was too small and there was a chance that she would be let out.
Now, after Sister-in-law Liu finished her request, she looked at Jia Yun expectantly, but felt nervous in her heart. She also knew that this kind of thing was a bit reckless, and Jia Yun might not only not agree but would also be dissatisfied with her.
Jia Yun hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "I agree to this!"
Sister-in-law Liu suddenly became excited: "Thank you, Second Master!"
…
…
"Zicuckoo's mother, brother, and brother's family are really ridiculous and disrespectful!"
With this thought, the next morning, Jia Yun left the Erjin Mansion on horseback with five soldiers and headed for a place called Lishu Alley.
Lishu Hutong is not far from Ningrong Street, where Zijuan's mother, brother and younger brother live.
The day before yesterday, Jia Yun just returned home in fine clothes and heard about Zicuckoo.
He learned that Zijuan's mother, brother, and younger brother first dragged Zijuan home forcibly, and then sent Zijuan back, but withheld nearly two hundred taels of property from Zijuan, including gold, silver, and
Clothing and jewelry.
Both Xiren and Zijuan asked Jia Yun to help get it back.
Naturally, Jia Yun would not refuse. In fact, he would do this even if the two pretty maids did not take the initiative to request.
I will protect my rhododendron!
If you can't even protect a maid, what kind of man can you be? What kind of master can you be?
Jia Yun also felt ridiculous. She felt that Zijuan's family had just taken away the gold and silver this time, but that it was too much to take away the jewelry. What was even more outrageous was that they even took away some of Zijuan's clothes and shoes.
These clothes and shoes are undoubtedly worth some money.
You must know that before this, most of the property that Zijuan had obtained in Rongguo Mansion over the years had been given to her brother and younger brother by her mother. According to Zijuan, there was a total of two hundred taels of property.
Including the nearly 200 taels of property withheld this time, Zijuan's family took a total of nearly 400 taels of her property, leaving Zijuan not only penniless, but also without a decent piece of clothing.
All gone.
This family is really greedy for money, and their treatment of Zijuan is really cold-blooded, comparable to that of Bu Shiren and his wife.
After hearing about this incident the day before yesterday, Jia Yun wanted to take action against the family immediately.
Firstly, he has been busy these two days, and secondly, he was thinking about Zijuan's affection and wanted to give this family a chance. He thought that when this family learned that he was knighted and came back, they might honestly give away his belongings.
Come back, then forget about it.
And now it's been a day, and the property hasn't been returned yet. It's so disrespectful!
It would be fine if they took the initiative to send it back.
Now that Jia Yun came to ask for it with his own soldiers, it was another matter. It was not just as simple as asking for the property that Zijuan had been detained this time!
…
…
Lishu Hutong, as the name suggests, there once was a tall and strong pear tree in this alley. Now the pear tree is gone. It was cut down when someone built a house here ten years ago, but the name Lishu Hutong is still there.
Saved.
There is an old courtyard in Lihua Hutong, where Zicuckoo's mother, elder brother, and younger brother live. This courtyard is passed down from ancestors.
The younger brother Zhang Bao is still young, a teenager, and the older brother Zhang Cai is an adult and has not yet married.
The property Zijuan Niang received from Zijuan over the years was mainly spent by brothers Zhang Cai and Zhang Bao.
Although her family is not rich, Lady Zijuan feels that since Zijuan is a cash machine, she does not need to save money, and she can let her two doting sons eat well, wear good clothes and spend money randomly.
That morning, Lady Zijuan was arrogant, lying smugly on the deck chair under the eaves, scolding a maid who had just bought it yesterday with money: "Little hoof, I spent more than ten taels of silver to buy it."
Come on, don’t be lazy, it’s been half an hour and I haven’t finished sweeping the floor yet, hurry up, I still have to cook after I finish sweeping!”
At this time, Zijuan's brother Zhang Cai, who had not returned home all night, walked into the courtyard.
Lady Zijuan immediately put on a smile: "My son, where did you go last night? Why didn't you come back all night?"
Zhang Cai said disdainfully: "Beauty."
After saying that, he went into his room to catch up on his sleep.
Zijuan Niang: "..."
Well, she is used to this kind of thing. Although she is inevitably a little dissatisfied, she has never scolded her eldest son for this. He is really doting on him.
At this time, Zijuan's younger brother Zhang Bao was taking three young men whom he bribed with money, Qingpi, and blocked a thin young man named Zuo Song at the entrance of the alley.
"Zuo Song, I'm warning you, go home right away and call your sister out to play with me, otherwise you won't be able to enjoy the good things today and we will have to break your legs!"
Zhang Bao threatened Zuo Song.
Zuo Song said stubbornly: "I don't!"
Zhang Bao glared at Zuo Song: "You say it again?"
Zuo Song was still stubborn: "I won't!"
Zhang Bao waved his hand and said angrily: "You are looking for death, give me a beating!"
Suddenly, three young men surrounded Zuo Song, punching and kicking him.
At this moment, six people riding six horses arrived near the entrance of the alley.
Zhang Bao and the three young men all stopped immediately and looked at the six men and six horses. Zuo Song, who had just been beaten, even though his nose was bleeding, did not bother to wipe it at this time and looked at Liu Song who suddenly appeared.
Six people and horses.
Although some horses pass by Lishu Alley every day, it is rare for six horses to appear at once. What's more, on the six horses in front of you, there are five officers and soldiers sitting in armor, and the leader is
A boy who looked about the same age as them.
Jia Yun, who was sitting on the black horse, looked at the five teenagers condescendingly and frowned. After living for two lifetimes, he was very familiar with this kind of bullying by a group of gangsters.
He asked lightly: "Do you know where brothers Zhang Cai and Zhang Bao live?"
