Yuanyang kowtowed to Jia Mu again and said, "Ancestor, please rest assured, even if I die, no one will hurt Brother Huan."
Jia Mu couldn't help but spat: "What nonsense are you talking about, life and death? I want you all to live well."
Yuanyang kowtowed several times on the ground and said goodbye with tears in his eyes.
After leaving Rongqing Hall, Yuanyang walked towards Lin Daiyu's courtyard.
After entering the house, before Yuanyang could greet Jia Huan, Lin Daiyu and others, Lin Daiyu stood up first, took Yuanyang's hand and smiled:
"My sister-in-law is here, please sit down quickly."
Yuanyang blushed, and while saluting Lin Daiyu, he said: "Miss Lin, don't make fun of me. How can I take this responsibility?"
Next to her, the girls Zijuan and Xueyan also came up to salute Yuanyang and said they had met Aunt Jin.
Yuanyang shyly made trouble with them again.
Next to him, Jia Huan only found it interesting.
Lin Daiyu was originally stingy, but in some aspects, she was generous.
Take for example just now, the mandarin duck is here, and she expressed her attitude towards the mandarin duck by saying "sister-in-law".
Lin Daiyu is also very good to the three girls Qingwen, Caiyun and Xiao Jixiang.
She naturally knew that these three girls would most likely become Jia Huan's concubines in the future.
In fact, this is really Lin Daiyu's true temperament.
In The Book of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu once said to Xi Ren:
"Good sister-in-law, tell me. You two must have had a quarrel. Tell my sister and I will make peace for you."
The attacker pushed her and said, "Miss Lin, what are you making a fuss about? We are just a girl, and the girl is just talking nonsense."
Daiyu smiled and said: "You said you are a girl, but I only treat you as my sister-in-law." (Lin Daiyu's dialogue, original text from Red Mansion)
She personally called Xiren sister-in-law, wasn't it just to convey goodwill to Xiren?
However, instead of accepting her favor, Xiren secretly assassinated Lin Daiyu.
When Yuanyang heard Lin Daiyu call her sister-in-law, she felt even more relieved.
After the girls had made a fuss, Jia Huan couldn't help but ask Yuanyang, "Yuanyang, where are your things? Why didn't you bring any of them?"
Yuanyang hurriedly said with a smile: "Third Master, I have a lot of things. Parrot called a car and sent them to the house for me."
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Brother Huan, my sister-in-law has been with our ancestors for so many years, and I don't know how many rewards she has received from our ancestors. She is a rich woman. If Brother Huan gets her, it is considered a treasure!"
Lin Daiyu's words made all the girls in the room laugh.
After sitting in Lin Daiyu's yard for a while, Jia Huan stood up and said goodbye, taking Yuanyang back to Ningguo Mansion.
Besides, at the Ningguo Mansion, the Yuanyang people hadn't arrived yet, but the things had been delivered first.
Parrot Man hadn't left yet. When Yuanyang came over, she helped Yuanyang clean up the house before leaving.
Qingwen and Caiyun, two eldest girls, saw that the third master went to Xifu and actually brought back another girl.
And this girl is still the most useful maid in front of the ancestors, with a higher status than them.
This made the two girls feel bitter in their hearts, fearing that the mandarin ducks would overwhelm them.
Yuanyang has been serving Jia Mu for so many years, so he naturally has prejudices.
It only took her half an afternoon to win over Qingwen and Caiyun after a heart-to-heart conversation.
It made the two women secretly ashamed.
Caiyun even handed over all the housekeeping rights of the inner house.
"Sister, now that you are here, from now on, my sister will be in charge of the inner house. I will be able to have some leisure time."
Yuanyang asked hurriedly: "Caiyun, what are you talking about? We are sisters, don't you know me? Am I a competitive person? As soon as I came here, I wanted to take away my sister's power?"
Hearing what Yuanyang said, Qingwen smiled and said before Caiyun could speak:
"Sister Yuanyang, you really misunderstood Caiyun. I was the first to follow the third master. It turned out that the third master had left all the affairs of the back house to me."
"It's just that how can I take care of it? When Caiyun came, I hurriedly handed everything over to her. Caiyun is a good person, but it's just that it's okay for her to collect things, and it's really difficult for her to take care of the house."
"Sister Yuanyang doesn't know that when the third master returned to Rongguo Mansion again and invited the sisters in the mansion to have dinner, both of us were blinded. In the end, we invited sister Ping'er to help and we didn't cause any trouble."
"After arriving at Ningguo Mansion, the few times Third Master entertained guests, we both invited Grandma You to help."
"It's okay once or twice, but if it bothers Grandma You every time. Once word spreads, people won't say it's us who are stupid. There's nothing we can do just to be the third master."
"Now that my sister is here and she has this ability, why not leave this job to her? Is it possible that we have to ask Grandma You to help every time we treat guests in the future?"
What Qingwen said was true. The two of them did not have the ability to manage things.
Qingwen is clever and eloquent, but has no management ability at all.
Caiyun, on the other hand, is an honest person, usually silent, but has an excellent memory. She remembers everything she is asked to keep.
However, it is really difficult for her to take charge of things.
When Yuanyang was with Jia Mu, she always helped Jia Mu manage Rongqing Hall. Her talent was even greater than that of Ping'er, and she was no less generous.
Yuanyang also saw that Qingwen and the others were sincere in letting her go and were not testing her.
Therefore, Yuanyang couldn't help but smile and said: "Two sisters, this matter is easy. Caiyun just takes care of the matter. All I need to do is help you."
"There is something that my ancestors didn't want me to say. But we are all the best sisters. If I hide it from my two sisters, I will feel uneasy."
"I just hope that after the two sisters find out about this, please don't tell anyone."
Yuanyang knew that the two maids Qingwen and Caiyun had different statuses in the third master's heart. The two girls, Qingwen and Xiao Jixiang, risked their lives to follow the third master when he was kicked out of the house.
Caiyun, on the other hand, was very kind to the third master before he showed his talent.
These two girls have an extremely important position in the third master's heart, and they follow him wholeheartedly, so they can be completely trusted.
Therefore, Yuanyang is not going to hide it from them anymore. The main reason is that from now on we will be together every day, and I'm afraid it won't be able to hide it for long. Otherwise, it will make them suspicious, so it is better not to hide it from the beginning.
Qingwen and Caiyun listened to Yuanyang's words and hurriedly asked: "Sister, just tell me, we will keep it safe and won't tell anyone."
Yuanyang said: "The ancestor sent me to the third master not only to serve the third master. The ancestor also gave me some manpower, asking me to use these manpower to help the third master and protect the third master."
"Therefore, I really don't have much time to take care of things in the back house. I just help my two sisters."
