That night, Yan Ling was arranged to live in the west wing of the backyard of the Tan Mansion, and was served by the maid Xiaoyu.

After bathing and changing clothes, Yan Ling got into the soft and comfortable quilt, thinking about the upcoming meeting with her brother Kiki, her heart was full of excitement and excitement, but when she suddenly thought of her deceased parents, she became sad and sad again.

She tossed and turned in the bed, tossing and turning, until the second half of the night, when she fell asleep in a hazy way.

Early the next morning, a gurgling sound woke Yan Ling up.

Startled, she sat up, looked her eyes around, and listened to her ears, until she realized that the gurgling sound came from her belly.

It turned out that Yan Ling had not eaten since she went down to Li Mountain yesterday, and Gongying and his wife were happy for a while and did not ask about it, and she was embarrassed to speak, so she was already hungry until now.

There was a slight movement in this room, and Xiaoyu, the maid who was guarding the outer room, already knew about it.

She walked in lightly and greeted, "Miss Yan Ling, are you awake?"

"Well, I wanted to get a good night's sleep, but I was woken up by this stomach. Yan Ling pouted and patted her belly.

Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm afraid that Miss Yan Ling is already hungry." ”

"No, I didn't eat a day yesterday, my aunt didn't ask, and I'm embarrassed to say. Saying that, Yan Ling suddenly felt very hungry, and her stomach gurgled non-stop.

"Then Miss Yan Ling, you rinse your mouth and wash your face first, I'll go and pass the meal, and I'll take you to breakfast later." Xiaoyu said, went to the outer room and brought in the face towel and toiletry water that had been prepared, and put them on the table.

Yan Ling jumped out of bed, stretched to the fullest, walked to the table, and caught a glimpse of the basin of clear toiletry water, and suddenly felt thirsty and hungry, and couldn't help but glance outside, seeing that there was no figure, he suddenly lowered his head, opened his mouth, and quickly took a sip of toilet water and swallowed it.

A stream of heat runs down the throat and goes straight to the bottom of the belly!

Ahh

Yan Ling smacked her lips, her face was full of comfort, it turned out that satisfaction was sometimes so easy to get!

In fact, Yan Lingwei was really hungry, a little hungry and didn't choose to eat, so he didn't care about any washing water.

Yan Ling felt extremely satisfied, but she was afraid of being discovered, so she hurriedly rinsed her mouth, washed her face, and went to rummage through the package to find her clothes.

In addition to a few close-fitting clothes, there were two or three blue and gray robes, Yan Ling first picked a slightly new green gauze robe and put it on his body, ended the green silk silk around his waist, and then pulled a simple Taoist bun in the dressing mirror and inserted a hosta horizontally.

After dressing up, Yan Ling looked at the dressing mirror, straightened her chest, twisted her waist, dragged her robe, stroked her black temples, and was as delicious as food: I will definitely go to see her brother Jiji today.

At this time, the maid Xiaoyu was about to come in, and she happened to bump into it, so she pursed her lips and smiled: "Miss Yan Ling, breakfast is ready, please come with me." ”

"Oh...... Okay, okay...... It's coming, it's coming......" Yan Ling hurriedly replied, as if someone had seen through his thoughts, he couldn't help but blush, and followed Xiaoyu out of the west wing as if he was a thief.

Generally speaking: the first is rice porridge porridge, followed by long-wrapped noodles, and finally rice cake fried, supplemented by pickled side dishes, soybean milk bone broth and the like, as for the fruit plate at four o'clock, it is also indispensable.

When Yan Ling first entered the Tan Mansion, the Tan Mansion naturally wanted to be hospitable.

Yan Ling walked into the Tan Mansion restaurant with Xiaoyu, and saw that the table was full of plates, green, red, white and yellow, dazzling, and there was a tempting fragrance wafting in the air.

The Gongying couple had been sitting in the restaurant for a long time. There were three or two maids standing in the side compartment, with a cautious face.

When Mrs. Zhou saw Yan Ling coming in, she beckoned, "Ling'er, come on...... Sit down on my aunt's side. ”

"Wow! so many delicious foods, are they all for me?" Yan Ling walked briskly to Mrs. Zhou's side, sat down on the chair on the right, stared at the fragrant breakfast on the table, and kept rubbing her hands while looking around, looking like a hungry cat.

"Huh...... Of course, these are for you to eat, your younger brother Wen Ji studied the scriptures day and night, and he has not eaten in this restaurant for a long time, you can eat as much as you want, even if you eat up this table, it doesn't hurt. Gongying quipped.

"Really?" Yan Ling's eyes showed unusual excitement, he hadn't eaten such a hearty breakfast for a long time.

As soon as she reached out impatiently, she grabbed a soup bag from the plate and threw it into her mouth.

"Oh...... It's hot! It's hot......."

It turned out that the soup dumplings had just come out of the steamer, and the heat had not dissipated, and it was very hot. Yan Ling didn't pay attention, not only was his fingers burned, but his small mouth was also hot. She jumped to her feet, leaned her neck, shook her fingers, and screamed as she chewed her mouth desperately, without the reserve of her daughter's family.

When the maids caught a glimpse of Yan Ling's anxious appearance, they couldn't help but giggle.

Mrs. Zhou complained lovingly: "You child, you are in a hurry, this soup dumpling has a thin skin, a lot of gravy, and it is hot when it is just out of the cage, so you have to eat it slowly, you can't swallow it, look at you like this." ”

"Auntie: This soup dumpling is delicious, I remember eating it when I was a child, but now I have long forgotten the taste, and now I want to eat it when I see it. Yan Ling pouted and sat down, but she didn't feel embarrassed.

"It's not your fault, you've been in Lishan for fifteen years, how much can you remember when you were a child? Mrs. Zhou explained and demonstrated, and finally took a soup dumpling, covered it with a small saucer, and sent it to Yan Ling's mouth.

Yan Ling opened her ruddy little mouth, sipped the hot soup bag into her mouth, and ate it with a click.

Yan Ling had been hungry for a long time, so according to Mrs. Zhou's instructions, he ate seven or eight soup dumplings in a row, and then ate rice cakes with a big grin, one after another, drastic, windswept clouds, and looked very happy.

When all the maids saw this, they all covered their mouths and snickered: Zhenge'er looks like a female man!

Mrs. Zhou didn't care about Yan Ling's eating appearance, but felt more and more sorry for her: "Ling'er, eat slowly...... No hurry...... After breakfast, my aunt will take you to the market. ”

"I'm not going!" Yan Ling replied simply as she chewed on the rice cake.

"Why?"

"The Qingming Festival is here, everyone else is sacrificing to the grave, and I will also sacrifice to my father's mother. Yan Ling said.

"Ahh......h Good sensible Ling'er, you have lost your parents since you were a child, you are lonely, and you never thought that you would grow up and have this filial piety, which is really rare. Mrs. Zhou praised it profusely, and then said, "But according to Auntie, you don't have to be in such a hurry Ling'er, let's go back in two days, these two days, Auntie will see that your clothes are also a little old, so I will take you to the market, buy you a few pieces of silk, and add a few sets of new clothes." ”

"Well, yes, yes...... Ling'er should go back in two days, and let my aunt accompany you to the market in these two days, and add a few new sets of clothes by the way!"

"Don't bother, my clothes are very good, comfortable to wear, and I can't wait, I want to go to my father's grave right away." ”

"Oh, that's right. Gongying said abruptly, "That...... My aunt and uncle don't force you, so you can go. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou looked directly at the public with her eyes, as if hinting at something: "Master: This Ling'er's parents are dead, and there is not even a grave, where do you tell her to go to the grave?"

"It's okay...... Madame don't have to worry, I went to Wuhu to inform the Xu family of the news, according to the family funeral rules, although Xu Xiandi and his wife were killed, but the Xu family ancestral hall should have their spiritual position, now that Ling'er is back, he should go back to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and then his uncle Xu Dou will naturally fulfill his wish for her. Gongying knew it, but at this time, it was difficult to take back the words, so he had to slip along the pole.

Mrs. Zhou was obviously dissatisfied with the words of the public screening, but she had to agree verbally, "What the master said is also right." That Ling'er, when do you want to go? According to Auntie, you better wait for two days before you go?"

"No, I can't wait, I'll go after breakfast. Yan Ling said.

"Okay. Mrs. Zhou said helplessly, "Ling'er is a rare filial piety, then ask Ji'er to send you to the county, and when you get to the county, go to the 'Tan Family Wood Walk' to rest for a night, and then call your brother Jiji to accompany you back to Wuhu tomorrow, what do you think?"

"Well, listen to Auntie. Yan Ling just lowered his head to eat and drink, and suddenly heard the words "ask your brother Jiji to accompany you back to Wuhu", she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and drank half a bowl of millet porridge after dividing five by two, and finally felt that her stomach was full and uncomfortable, so she pushed the plate, wiped her mouth, stood up and said, "Auntie: I'm full, I'll go." ”

"Huh...... You kid, why are you in such a hurry, how are you going?" Mrs. Zhou said hurriedly.

"How? I didn't think about it. Yan Ling scratched the root of her ears, feeling very embarrassed.

"You kid, why are you so anxious? I have to wait for us to prepare before we can send you there. Mrs. Zhou scolded lightly.

"Oh, auntie, I see. Yan Ling suddenly blushed, "Then I'll go and prepare first." ”

Before the words landed, Yan Ling panicked and hid away from the restaurant, she also knew that she was a little reckless.

After a short time, when breakfast was served, the serving maids withdrew from the table and retreated.

Mrs. Zhou sent Xiaoyu to summon Wen Ji and explained the relevant matters, and Gongying also informed Wen Ji of the address of Yan Ling's uncle Xu Doujia. Then Gongying called Steward Liu again and told him to prepare the carriage.

Tan Fuli originally purchased two carriages, one four-wheeled carriage was driven into Wanling County by Wenji, and the other two-wheeled carriage was still parked in the mansion. Not long after, Steward Liu drove the two-wheeled carriage from the side gate of Tan's Mansion to the gatehouse.
