When Yan Mingyu returned to Fuxia Garden, Cheng Shulan had not yet returned. She touched the scroll letter on her cuffs, and said to Luye: "Luye, I'm going to Baihuafang, and when the fourth lady comes back, you will call me." ”

"Well, Sister Mingyu. Go ahead and mix gouache with peace of mind. Green Leaf said.

Yan Mingyu smiled, then entered the Baihua Room, locked the door, and unfolded the scroll letter given by Yan Ziqi, which was still in a crooked font.

A small volume is a bill, and there is a lot of money coming in.

A small volume is to say that Yan Mingbao and the three of them are fine.

A small volume asks her when she will leave the house.

Another small volume is to ask her why she has lost contact recently.

Yan Mingyu looked at the scroll letter, and her heart was warm. Swallow Seven is an honest person, and saying that a deuce is an equal share. Not adulterated at all. It's been so long, and he remembers every income clearly.

Yan Mingyu checked Hu Ji's token, and thought to himself, Hu Ji Qian Zhuang really saved a lot of silver.

At this moment, Luye came over to call her, saying that Miss Cheng Si was back.

Yan Mingyu burned all the letters to ashes, along with the bills, and then walked out of the Baihua Room.

Cheng Shulan was drinking tea, and when she saw Yan Mingyu coming, she said, "Mingyu, Mrs. Fang Cai rewarded a box of crystal steamed dumplings, and you can also come and reward it." ”

"Yes, Miss Four." Yan Mingyu stepped forward.

Luzhu brought bowls, chopsticks, vinegar dishes, and soy sauce up.

Cheng Shulan pulled Yan Mingyu to eat together, she tasted it first, then looked at Yan Mingyu and asked, "Mingyu, what do you think?" ”

Yan Mingyu took a small bite, chewed it slowly, and reluctantly said, "It's okay." ”

"Is it okay?" Cheng Shulan said: "I thought you would say it was very delicious." ”

Yan Mingyu said with a smile: "It's not very delicious, it's okay." The aroma of the meat filling is too strong, overshadowing the essential taste, if you add a little tangerine peel to the meat, the taste will be better. ”

Cheng Shulan looked at Yan Mingyu in surprise: "Do you know how to cook vegetables?" ”

"I don't know much, but I'm better at eating." Yan Mingyu ate in Fuxia Garden, only seeking food and clothing, not taste, after all, at the beginning, the food in Fuxia Garden could only be stuffed into the stomach, and the problem could not be raised. Yan Mingyu didn't stop at eating, but put down his chopsticks and asked, "Just now at the eldest lady's place, are the eldest lady and the third lady okay?" ”

Cheng Shulan also put down her chopsticks and asked Luzhu to come over, she wiped her mouth, rinsed her mouth and said, "It's all good." ”

"All right?" Yan Mingyu asked.

After thinking about it, Cheng Shulan said: "Maybe it's because I have the identity of a countryman, the eldest sister and the third sister treat me much better than before, at least today in the eldest lady, neither of them showed obvious hostility." ”

Yan Mingyu was puzzled, last night the two of them still looked like they were not with Cheng Shulan, and they figured it out this morning?

"What's wrong? Mingyu. Cheng Shulan asked.

Yan Mingyu shook his head: "It's not much, it's just a little hard to figure it out." ”

"What?"

"It's nothing, maybe it's really like what Miss Fourth said, Miss Fourth is now a countryman, so the eldest lady and Miss Third are different from Miss Four as usual."

"Hmm." Cheng Shulan nodded and didn't think much about it.

But Yan Mingyu couldn't let it go.

She thought about it, Cheng Molan and Cheng Qinlan have changed their personalities? Or is it really because Cheng Shulan is a countryman?

In the evening, Cheng Shulan went to ask Mrs. Cheng to say goodbye, and after she came back, she still told Yan Mingyu that the atmosphere was very harmonious, and Cheng Molan and Cheng Qinlan still did not sneer at her.

Cheng Shulan herself said: "Maybe because of the identity of the countryman, under the teaching of the eldest lady, they don't dare." ”

Yan Mingyu didn't answer.

The next morning, Yan Mingyu finally found out from Luye that Mrs. Cheng was free today, that is, she could go to Mrs. Cheng to cash in Mrs. Cheng's note.

Before leaving, Yan Mingyu wanted to tell Cheng Shulan about this matter.

"Fourth Miss." Yan Mingyu had just spoken.

Green Leaf hurriedly ran in from the door and said, "Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss, Miss Liang Fifth and Miss Liang Sixth from the Liang Mansion came to see you, and the eldest lady asked you to go to the courtyard to have fun with her for a while." ”

"The fifth and sixth ladies of the Liang Mansion?" Cheng Shulan asked.

"Yes, the eldest lady said, you played together when you were young." Green Leaf Road.

Cheng Shulan was a little impressed: "You go back to the eldest lady now, and I'll go over in a while." ”

"Yes." Saying that, the green leaves ran out of Fuxia Garden.

Yan Mingyu wanted to talk to Cheng Shulan about the deed of sale again, and Cheng Shulan was completely thinking about what clothes to wear and what makeup to go to see Miss Fifth and Miss Sixth of the Liang Mansion.

"Fourth Miss, I have something to say to you, I'm going to find the eldest lady in a while." Yan Mingyu said.

Cheng Shulan said: "Okay, you go." ”

Then, Luzhu brought a basin of water over and asked Cheng Shulan to clean her face.

Yan Mingyu shook his head. Then he walked out of the door, went to the Baihua Room, took the rouge gouache and gave it to Cheng Shulan and said: "Fourth Miss, with this, it must be a hundred times more beautiful than the fifth and sixth ladies of Liangfu." ”

"Thank you, Mingyu." Cheng Shulan said with a smile.

After a while, Cheng Shulan took the green bamboo to Chengfu Garden.

And Yan Mingyu went to Mrs. Cheng's place, and first saw Du's mother, Yan Mingyu politely saluted Du's mother, explaining that there was something to find Mrs. Cheng.

Mother Du went inside to spread the word and said to Mrs. Cheng: "Mrs., Mingyu from Fuxia Garden came to you and said that she had something to say. ”

Mrs. Cheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Mingyu came to sell her body, and was silent for a while, and then said, "Let her in." ”

"Yes, Madame." After Du's mother stepped back, Yan Mingyu appeared after a while.

"Slave Mingyu, participate in the eldest lady." Yan Mingyu saluted respectfully.

"Get up." Mrs. Cheng closed the account book, asked the steward to take it down, took the tea bowl casually, gently stroked the tea leaves with the tea lid, and took a sip of tea gently, then raised her eyes to look at Mingyu and asked, "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”

Yan Mingyu was not surprised by Mrs. Cheng's contemptuous attitude, but said directly: "Mrs. Hui, half a month ago, when the Queen Mother announced that Miss Cheng entered the palace, she ......."

Seeing that Yan Mingyu really wanted to tell the ins and outs of the matter, Mrs. Cheng's contemptuous expression froze, and then she said to the maid beside her, "You all go down." ”

Yan Mingyu's voice stopped.

"Yes." The maids and servants came out in streams.

Only Mrs. Cheng and Yan Mingyu remained in the room.

Mrs. Cheng looked at Yan Mingyu and said, "This time you entered the palace, you performed well." I also mentioned you in front of the master, and the master said that he would reward you again soon. ”

"Mrs. Xie, Master Xie." Yan Mingyu said.

Mrs. Cheng said: "The Cheng Mansion has always been lenient to its subordinates, and there are many children from poor families. ”

Yan Mingyu was silent and listened.

"Entering the Cheng Mansion is equivalent to having a different future, which is better than if you are in the countryside, find a country man to become your own son, and rely on the sky to eat." Mrs. Cheng said, stood up, and asked, "Mingyu, what do you think?" ”

Yan Mingyu said: "Mrs. Hui, no matter how bad the countryside is, it is also the home of the slave maid." The slave maid remembers that there is a saying in the slave maid's hometown that 'the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennel', and no matter how good the Chengfu is, it is not the slave's home after all. ”

Mrs. Cheng was slightly displeased and asked, "Do you really regret it?" You must know that although you can be beautiful, but you are a weak woman and have left the Cheng Mansion, if you want to live with your beauty skills, it is impossible. You must know that even the beauty shop is supported by officials who should not be underestimated, you ......"

"Mrs. Hui, the slave doesn't regret it." Yan Mingyu said firmly. She wouldn't think that this was Mrs. Cheng's kind take-in, she only knew that it was another use of Mrs. Cheng, so she didn't want to.

Anger appeared on Mrs. Cheng's face, and clusters of flames danced in her eyes, this dead girl, she was so good at talking, but she couldn't say anything. Mrs. Cheng turned around, walked slowly to the upper seat, sat down, and thought, she must not let Mingyu leave easily, Cheng Shulan will not beautify This matter is like a sharp bayonet, hanging above her head, the bayonet may stab her at any time, making her die, and the owner of this bayonet is Mingyu.

"What if I'm not willing to let you go?" Mrs. Cheng said slowly and coldly.

Yan Mingyu smiled secretly, Mrs. Cheng is really Mrs. Cheng, and she is not ashamed at all, Yan Mingyu said: "Mrs. Hui, there is a note from you here." ”

Mrs. Cheng squinted: "Are you threatening me?" ”

Yan Mingyu replied respectfully: "The slave doesn't dare. ”

"Mingyu, I have to tell you, even if I make a note, which yamen will ask me to obey your wishes when you are still a maid of the Cheng Mansion." Mrs. Cheng said: "When Cheng Shulan gets married, you can leave the Cheng Mansion." ”

Yan Mingyu didn't feel anything about this, and the reason why she left Cheng Mansion when she got married was because she wanted Cheng Fu to take the least risk. In case Cheng Shulan doesn't know how to beautify, the Queen Mother knows, and if the Queen Mother blames her, there will be a Qi Mansion to support her. The Queen Mother should at least take a look at the face of Qi Mansion.

Mrs. Cheng is really good at wishful thinking.

Yan Mingyu raised her eyes and smiled, but this smile made Mrs. Cheng stunned, at this time Mingyu was not only not angry or afraid, but laughed. And she never thought that Mingyu's smile would surprise her again. Then Yan Mingyu's words cracked the calm on her face again.

"Madame, you forgot that there is another item in the note that you have to promise me one thing, if I exercise it now, what will you do? If it is really as you said, the yamen knows this note, even if the yamen is biased towards you, then how far is the queen mother from the truth? ”

Mrs. Cheng was instantly blocked speechless, and stretched out her hand to point at Yan Mingyu: "You ......" 166 Reading Network
