This loud noise shocked the two people in the room.
Regardless of whether it was Jia Lian or Baochai, they were sure that the person coming in must be Wang Xifeng with a stern look on his face.
But——
The smart and pretty Qingwen came in, carrying a tray with two cups of tea in her hand.
.
Jia Lian felt relieved - my little rescuer was here. He took advantage of the situation and quietly winked at Qingwen.
Qingwen saw it and knew that her visit was indeed in line with Jia Lian's wishes
"Hey, my foot slipped, and I almost fell."
Qingwen deliberately swayed her body slightly, indicating that her "kicking in the door" was an unexpected and last resort move.
Baochai was very unhappy, and immediately put a serious look on her face. She calmly stuffed her precious golden necklace into her arms, fastened the buttons of her coat calmly, and said:
"Are you Qingwen from Brother Lian's house?
Sure enough, Gusu women are born well. No wonder when everyone bought you as a gift to the old lady, Brother Bao and Brother Huan were all vying for you to come and serve her."
Qingwen placed two cups of tea on the table in front of Baochai and Jia Lian, and then replied:
"I'm just a little maid, and Miss Bao knows everything about my origins. People say that Miss Bao is 'a rich lady who never goes out, and knows everything about the world in her heart'. She is indeed well-deserved.
Qingwen's sharp tongue and clear voice, as well as the meaning behind this sentence "Miss Qianjin turned out to be a spy", immediately made Baochai extremely unhappy.
It’s just that she has always worked hard to be elegant, knowledgeable, and open-minded. Even if she immediately speaks out to give a lesson, she must also appear kind and generous.
So she pursed her lips and smiled:
"I'm going to tell you this. There are many advantages to being a maid, and you should know more about it.
Not only do you have to be diligent, careful, and not greedy for merit or profit, but you also need to be attentive to those above, unite with those below, and serve them with all your heart, so that you can be worthy of your master.
Speaking of which, I would like to set an example for you.
Look at Xiren, there is no one more loyal than her.
When she served the old lady, there was only one old lady in her heart. Now when she serves Brother Bao, there is only one Brother Bao in her heart.
She is a very well behaved person herself, and she also uses the rules to discipline her brothers. Everyone praises her for her pure heart, conscientiousness in her duties, gentleness and consideration, and hard work.
What's more, Xi Ren is always mature, steady, and decent in his dealings with others. He always knows how to respect superiors and subordinates, and never dares to be rude. Only then can he not lose his master's face. This is the most rare thing.<
/p>
If you act carelessly and without any rules all day long, in the eyes of outsiders, your master will be slapped in the face and humiliated, and he is the most despicable person.
You are still young, and you don’t understand many things. Some of the inappropriate things can be forgiven. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. You have to know what is good and what is bad, set an example in your heart, and imitate your behavior.
When others come, it will be your blessing in the future."
She deliberately spoke in a soft voice and with a deep heart, in order to let Jia Lian understand that she, Xue Baochai, was the most knowledgeable, family-ruling, and teaching noble girl in the house.
.
In fact, this is what annoys Baochai the most about Jia Lian - pretending to be green tea.
When in front of the elders, she hides her stupidity and is sanctimonious, pretending to be a "good girl" who says "I have no abilities and I don't like to make trouble". She shakes her head when asked about everything.
In fact, she can be found everywhere.
Xue Baochai, the "rich lady who has nothing to do with her own business and doesn't open her mouth", doesn't know about the private matters in so-and-so's house. Do you think she is "noble" or "gossip"?
No matter what happened, Miss Xue would always come and explain some great truths, for fear that even if she said a few words, she would not be able to show off her erudition and knowledge.
Also, this sister is a typical "famous double standard".
.
Jia Lian was about to speak, but the vanguard officer had already swung his sword for Jia Lian.
Obviously, when Sister Xue left Lixiangyuan today, although she calculated the time when Sister Feng was not around, she forgot to take a good look at the almanac. Otherwise, it would not be "unsuitable for everything".
First, he met Jia Lian, who was "unable to understand the charm". Sister Bao gave him a chance, but he didn't even come to get close to her.
Now, Sister Bao meets Qingwen again, who "doesn't listen and can't be taught", so she refuses to eat her "little talk" in vain.
Qingwen also pursed her lips and smiled:
"What Miss Bao said is really a lot of good advice, and I should tell it to my maid, Ying'er.
During the Chinese New Year, Aunt Zhao also told our grandma that Mr. Huan was playing Go with Xiangling and Ying'er in Lixiangyuan, and they bet ten dollars each. Because Mr. Huan and Ying'er were competing in throwing dice.
Ying'er had a heated argument with Mr. Huan to see if he was a 'yao'.
Ying'er said to Mr. Huan face to face: "I don't even care about a father who relies on our money. Qian'er and Mr. Bao are stubborn. He lost everything and didn't worry. The rest is
The money was snatched away by a few little girls, and he just smiled.'
Mr. Huan was so angry that he cried loudly: 'What can I compare to Baoyu? You are afraid of him, but you are all good with him, and you all bully me because I was not raised by my wife.'
Miss Bao, listen, what is this?
Who is the third master Huan? After all, he is also the concubine of the second wife of Duke Rongguo. Although he is not a direct descendant, who dares to disrespect him? He is the second and third girls, so what if they are concubines? Who dares to look down on them? p>
Our Second Mistress and Mr. Huan are both very polite. Even if Aunt Zhao scolded Mr. Huan for no reason, the Second Mistress would teach Aunt Zhao a lesson: "It's up to him to do whatever he wants. There are still ladies and gentlemen who don't care about him, so they just spit."
Him! He is the master now. What’s wrong, there are people who teach him anyway. What does it have to do with you!'
As long as Mr. Huan doesn't break the rules, no one in this house can scold him face to face. How can he ask a little girl to laugh at him in front of him because he has no money and can't afford to lose?
It's fine if outsiders don't recognize Mr. Huan, but Ying'er is Miss Bao's personal maid. She's been here in Jia's house for not just a day and a half, but a month or two.
In such a quarrel with Mr. Huan, where are Ying'er's rules? Where is her tutor?"
Qingwen's words immediately made Baochai's face turn red.
Baochai has always prided herself on being a well-rounded person and knowledgeable about everything. As long as there are no elders around her and she doesn't need to be quiet and dignified, she always likes to be a teacher and enjoys educating others from a high place. Every time she taught people, they were all convinced and ashamed, and then developed a deep respect and love for "Sister Bao".
But today, the well-informed Sister Bao "capsized in the gutter" in front of Qingwen.
Baochai stood up and was about to speak when she heard a "haha" sound at the door.
