"Mingyu." Cheng Wentao shouted softly.

Yan Mingyu looked up, but what he saw was an antique door panel, and he was still happy in his heart: "Young Master, it's late, go back." ”

Cheng Wentao stood outside the door, also looking at the door, a dusty heart, only a little quiet at this time, listening to Mingyu's pleasant voice, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and said, "Okay, you can go back too." ”

"Hmm." Mingyu replied softly.

Then, Cheng Wentao heard Mingyu's footsteps, getting smaller and smaller, and knew that she had entered the courtyard.

Cheng Wentao stood by the door for a long time, his joy was difficult to calm for a long time, as if he saw Mingyu and listened to Mingyu's voice, the days were more wonderful and interesting, which made his heart light and heavy.

"Great young master, eldest young master." The little guy shouted, "Let's go back too." ”

"Well, let's go." Cheng Wentao said with a smile.

Early the next morning.

Cheng Shulan sat in front of the bronze mirror and took a self-portrait.

"Fourth Miss, you look really good today." Green Bamboo Road.

Cheng Shulan also felt so, the joy on her face could not be hidden, the reason was naturally the family affairs of the Qi Mansion, and then she asked, "What about Mingyu?" ”

"Mingyu entered the Baihua Room early in the morning, saying that Miss Four's face rubbing cream was running out, and she would help Miss Four make a few more boxes." Green Bamboo Returns.

Cheng Shulan looked at the half-box of face wiping cream in her hand and said, "It's more, she's really worried." You go and call her over, and let her go with me to the eldest lady to say goodbye. ”

"Yes, is Luzhu still going with Miss Four?"

"Don't go, you've been rushing to work for the past few days, and you'll rest at home today."

"Yes, Miss Four." Green bamboo blessed body to go out.

After a while, Yan Mingyu packed up and went to the eldest lady with Cheng Shulan.

On the way, Cheng Shulan said: "Today's mood of the eldest lady, I don't know if it will be better." ”

Yan Mingyu didn't answer, Cheng Wentao came back, and Mrs. Cheng's mood would be somewhat better. With Cheng Wentao here, no matter how much Cheng Yanhuan doesn't like Mrs. Cheng, he will think of Cheng Wentao's son, and he won't really treat Mrs. Cheng well.

"Mingyu." Cheng Shulan shouted.

Yan Mingyu responded: "Yes, Fourth Miss." ”

"Do you say that the third sister will also come to ask for peace in a while?"

Yan Mingyu thought for a while and said, "The third lady shouldn't come." She wanted to come, but the eldest lady must not let her come. ”

Cheng Shulan nodded.

When the two went to Mrs. Cheng's place, they really didn't see Cheng Qinlan, but Cheng Wentao was there, which surprised Cheng Shulan.

"Big brother, you're back."

Cheng Wentao said with a smile: "Fourth sister, I heard that you are a countryman now, congratulations." Cheng Wentao clasped his fists and saluted.

Cheng Shulan blessed her body and said, "Big brother is polite." ”

Then Cheng Shulan saluted Mrs. Cheng.

Yan Mingyu has been following Cheng Shulan, and when Cheng Shulan sat down, she secretly glanced at Cheng Wentao, and really saw Cheng Wentao looking at her, so she immediately glared at him and warned him not to look around.

Cheng Wentao was immediately stunned, Xu is Yan Mingyu has always lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes, and suddenly she was so playful, which made Cheng Wentao in a trance, she hadn't seen her for twenty days, she seemed to be a little taller, a little older, and she was very good-looking.

"Wen Tao." Mrs. Cheng shouted.

Cheng Wentao came back to her senses, fortunately, she was talking to Cheng Shulan, so when she looked at Mingyu just now, what she saw was exactly the direction of Cheng Shulan, and the others did not pay attention to it, not to mention Ye Shenglin's matter, everyone did not slow down.

"Yes, Mother." Cheng Wentao responded.

Next, Mrs. Cheng asked some Cheng Wentao about his clothing, food, housing, transportation, and use in Jingzhou.

Cheng Wentao replied one by one, and when he saw that everyone was there, he chatted a few more words and left.

Before leaving, Cheng Wentao deliberately glanced at Yan Mingyu.

Yan Mingyu still lowered her head, looking at Cheng Wentao in the afterglow, and she was secretly relieved to see that Cheng Wentao finally left.

At this time, Mrs. Cheng looked at Cheng Shulan and Yan Mingyu and said, "Shulan, for a while, you leave later, my mother has something to tell you." ”

Cheng Shulan stood up and said slowly: "Yes, mother." But in my heart, I couldn't help but wonder what the eldest lady was doing to find herself alone.

Seeing this, Cheng Molan and Cheng Hualan got up and said goodbye.

Mrs. Cheng nodded and agreed.

Yan Mingyu raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Shulan, and then at Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng was looking at herself, Yan Mingyu's heart tightened, could it be that Mrs. Cheng wanted to hand over her deed of sale to Cheng Shulan?

Don't wait for Yan Mingyu to think about it.

Mrs. Cheng said, "You all go down." ”

"Yes." All the maids, including Yan Mingyu, responded in unison. Then followed Du's mother out of the room.

Yan Mingyu stood at the door.

Mother Du saw that she had nothing to do and said, "Mingyu, I see that the fourth lady and the eldest lady can't finish talking for a while, why don't you come and help me spin the thread." ”

Yan Mingyu nodded: "Okay." ”

At this time, Mrs. Cheng took Cheng Shulan into the inner room.

"Sit down." Mrs. Cheng herself sat on the upper seat first.

Cheng Shulan suddenly felt uneasy in her heart, what is it, is it worth the eldest lady to say it so secretly, or is it that other people's daughters should be like this about family affairs?

Cheng Shulan sat down cautiously.

Mrs. Cheng asked, "Do you know what I came to you for?" ”

Cheng Shulan said: "Back to my mother, Shulan doesn't know. ”

Mrs. Cheng smiled and said, "Yesterday, there was a matchmaker from the Qi Mansion. ”

Cheng Shulan's heart jumped. Although she had already learned the answer from the mouth of the green leaf, she still couldn't stop being excited when this was really coming out of Dr. Cheng's mouth.

"Qi Che has taken a fancy to you, and the Qi Mansion also agrees. Mother and your father also think this family business is very good. Therefore, it was promised. What do you think? Mrs. Cheng asked.

Cheng Shulan lowered her head slightly, and said shyly: "Shulan obeys her mother's arrangement. ”

Mrs. Cheng laughed, then took Cheng Shulan's hand and said, "Okay, good, you are a good child, sensible, well-behaved, and competitive, and my mother is very happy." ”

Cheng Shulan let Mrs. Cheng hold her hand and lowered her head.

Mrs. Cheng sighed: "You have all grown up and are leaving home." Mrs. Cheng patted Cheng Shulan's hand.

Cheng Shulan was also slightly sad because of Mrs. Cheng's sudden enthusiasm.

"Qi Mansion is not as good as Cheng Mansion, although you have the status of a township monarch, but Qi Mansion is also a big family." Mrs. Cheng said, "When you leave, which maid should you bring over?" The green sleeves are anxious and not stable enough. The green lotus is too warm, and the green bamboo ......"

"Mother, Shulan wants to bring Mingyu." Cheng Shulan answered.

With Mingyu?

Mrs. Cheng was pleasantly surprised, could it be that there have been too many things recently, and Mingyu has not told Cheng Shulan that she wants to get back the deed of sale? This couldn't be better for Mrs. Cheng.

Mrs. Cheng immediately said, "Mingyu can't be brought." ”

Cheng Shulan was stunned: "Mother, why can't Mingyu be brought?" ”

Mrs. Cheng was puzzled: "It's not that my mother doesn't want you to take it, it's really that Mingyu doesn't want to go with you." ”

Cheng Shulan was surprised: "Mingyu is unwilling to follow me? Cheng Shulan didn't believe it at all.

"It seems you don't know yet." Mrs. Cheng noticed the change in Cheng Shulan's face and said, "Mingyu has long had plans to redeem herself, and she has told me several times in private, saying that she wants to be free. ”

How many times have you looked for the eldest lady in private?

Cheng Shulan's face was not good-looking.

Mrs. Cheng continued: "I thought, you urgently need someone to serve you, and there is no one to replace you for a while, and you get along well with her, so you have not answered. Just last time, the Queen Mother summoned you to the palace to beautify your face, and my mother was very scared at that time, and it was the fourth lady who claimed to be beautiful, but we knew in our own hearts that it was Mingyu who was beautiful. ”

Mrs. Cheng paused, looked at Cheng Shulan and said: "So, my mother is afraid that something will go wrong after you enter the palace, so before you leave, I specially found Mingyu and asked her not to expose the fact that you can't be beautiful, otherwise it will hurt Cheng Fu and you, so she threatened with a deed of sale, and if she didn't expose it, her mother would give her back her freedom." Her mother had to agree to her, and she was willing to do her best to regulate the Queen Mother. ”

After Mrs. Cheng finished speaking, she looked at Cheng Shulan.

Cheng Shulan's brain was rumbling and messy at this time, and she didn't know how to speak.

Did Mingyu really do this? She suddenly recalled the sentence that the eldest lady said to Mingyu on the day she entered the palace, "Okay, I promise you." ”

Does it mean that the jade is real?

She always thought that Mingyu was loyal to herself wholeheartedly, but she didn't expect that in secret, Mingyu and Mrs. Cheng had so much communication.

For a while, she thought of Green Sleeves, who had been following her, but was bought by Cheng Molan.

Green Lotus is the personal maid of the fourth aunt, but she was bought by Cheng Qinlan.

Now, Mingyu, whom she values the most, is doing everything possible to get closer to Mrs. Cheng, trying to get back the deed of sale and leave her.

Seeing that Cheng Shulan was in a daze, Mrs. Cheng took out Mingyu's deed of sale from her cuffs and said, "This is what my mother promised to give to her before, and she came to ask her mother for it once, but her mother was busy at the time and didn't have time to give it to her." She is your maid, and it is up to you to return it to her. ”

Cheng Shulan looked at the deed of sale and slowly took it, with black and red seals on white paper.

Yan Shijing has a little girl, named Mingyu, eleven years old, please say that he willingly sell Mingyu to Cheng Fu as a maid, effective on the same day, personal freedom is controlled by Cheng Fu, I am afraid that there is no evidence in the future, and the words of the sale are kept.

The deed of sale clearly states the price, the seller, the buyer, and the time.

Cheng Shulan's hands couldn't help but tremble a little.

Mrs. Cheng said: "You take it back, you are the master, how to treat the servants, you don't need me to teach you, you will be the third lady of Qi Mansion in the future, and you will encounter a lot of these things." ”

Cheng Shulan reacted after a while, got up and said, "Yes, mother." ”

As soon as she took two steps, Mrs. Cheng called out to her: "Shulan." ”

Cheng Shulan turned around: "Mother." ”

Mrs. Cheng said: "I think, beautifying your face is the same as curing diseases and saving people, if you become the third lady of Qi Mansion, you only need to beautify the three people, the Queen Mother, Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Qi." ”

Mrs. Cheng looked at Cheng Shulan, paused, and said, "Mother, this is for your good, because when you leave the Cheng Mansion, you represent the Cheng Mansion, not just yourself." ”

Cheng Shulan's heart was shocked.

"Alright, you can go back." Mrs. Cheng said with a smile.

Cheng Shulan walked to the door woodenly, and as soon as she felt the light outside the room, she stuffed the deed of sale in her hand into her sleeve, and when she left the door, she didn't see Yan Mingyu.

She was stunned for a moment, and then asked the maid on the side, "Where is Mingyu?" ”

The little maid said: "Back to the fourth miss, Mother Du said that she wanted to spin the thread, and when she saw that Sister Mingyu had nothing to do here, she sent Mingyu to help spin the thread." The slave went to call Sister Mingyu back. ”

"No need. Let her spin it. I went back first. Cheng Shulan said weakly.

"Fourth Miss."

Cheng Shulan ignored her and walked straight out of the yard.

When Yan Mingyu came out of Du's mother, she asked the little maid to know that Cheng Shulan was gone.

Yan Mingyu wanted to ask about Cheng Shulan's emotions and others, but the little maid said she didn't know.

Yan Mingyu couldn't, looked at the eldest lady's room, and pondered for a while, but didn't go up to ask for the deed of sale, but went straight back to Fuxia Garden.

As soon as he entered Fuxia Garden, Yan Mingyu asked, "Is the fourth lady back?" ”

Green Leaf said: "I'm back, in the room." ”

Yan Mingyu asked again: "Luye, have you seen that there is something wrong with the fourth lady?" ”

Midoriba thought about it, shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Not very happy?" Yan Mingyu asked.

Green Leaf said: "No, it's the same as usual." ”

"Same as usual?" Yan Mingyu asked emphatically.

"Same as usual." Green Leaf replied again.

Yan Mingyu faintly sensed that something was wrong.

It stands to reason that Mrs. Cheng is looking for her because of Qi Mansion's family affairs, and Cheng Shulan has always liked Qi Che, because she was too happy and forgot about her, or she wanted to digest this emotional joy alone and come back alone, then she can understand.

However, instead of being happy, she was the same as usual.

Then Mrs. Cheng must have said something else to her, and it was about herself.

Otherwise, she wouldn't leave herself and go back to Fuxia Garden alone.

Thinking of this, Yan Mingyu said, "Well, then I'll go and take a look at the fourth lady now." ”

"Well, Sister Mingyu, you can go."

Yan Mingyu walked to Cheng Shulan's room, knocked on the door twice, and shouted, "Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss." ”

It was only after a while in the room that a voice came, saying, "Mingyu." ”

"Yes, Miss Four."

"I'm a little sleepy right now, sleep for a while, and you can come back later."

Yan Mingyu looked up at the sky, sleeping at this time, Yan Mingyu asked, "Fourth Miss, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

"Nope."

"Okay, you sleep for a while, and I'll come back later."

"Hmm."

Yan Mingyu stood at the door for a while, then turned around and went to the Hundred Flowers Room.

Seeing this, Luye followed Yan Mingyu to the Baihuafang and asked, "Sister Mingyu, what's wrong with the fourth miss?" ”

Yan Mingyu smiled: "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night and was sleepy." ”

"That's right." Lu Ye looked at Yan Mingyu and asked, "Sister Mingyu, why are you busy again?" How do you get so many soaps out? ”

"Want to know?" Yan Mingyu asked.

Luye nodded and said, "This kind of soaphorn is mild, and the fourth lady has a thin face, so it's for her." This kind of soaphorn has strong decontamination, and the queen mother is suitable. This whitening is used by Mrs. Qi. This kind of moisturizing is for Old Madam Qi. On the day the fourth lady gets married, these can be brought to Qi Mansion. ”

Luye was suddenly surprised: "Sister Mingyu, you are too powerful, a piece of soap, and so much exquisite." ”

Yan Mingyu said with a smile: "Beauty must start with exquisiteness." ”

"Then, Sister Mingyu, can I also be beautiful?" Midoriba asked shyly.

"Yes."

Luye was immediately happy: "That Sister Mingyu, you give me a support." ”

So Yan Mingyu prepared several skin care products for Luye.

After Cheng Shulan "woke up", she went to Cheng Shulan's room, where Cheng Shulan was drinking tea.

Yan Mingyu said: "Fourth Miss, what do you want to eat for lunch today?" ”

Cheng Shulan replied: "It's all right." ”

Yan Mingyu glanced sideways at Cheng Shulan, didn't speak, and said after a while: "Fourth Miss, why did you come back alone this morning?" ”

"Do you need to explain this to you as well?" Cheng Shulan asked in a cold voice.

Yan Mingyu was slightly stunned, did not answer, and retreated to the room.

Cheng Shulan turned her head to look at the door, her heart was mixed.

Yan Mingyu went out for a trip, and when she came in, she brought a pot of tea and said to Cheng Shulan: "Fourth Miss, this is my new flower tea, you can taste it, maybe you may not like it, but Mrs. Qi will definitely like it." ”

Cheng Shulan was stunned and asked, "How do you match it?" ”

Yan Mingyu's eyes flickered, and he raised his eyes to look at Cheng Shulan and said, "Fourth Miss, why don't you come to Mingyu, you can write it." Write it down, and you can do it too. ”

Cheng Shulan nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Then Yan Mingyu asked the green bamboo to grind, and he said on the side, Cheng Shulan wrote with a pen.

Yan Mingyu said: "One rock candy, ten dollars for cassia seeds......"

Cheng Shulan wrote them down one by one, and after writing them, she asked: "How did you make the face paper that the Queen Mother praised last time?" ”

Yan Mingyu raised her eyes and glanced at Cheng Shulan, and said without hesitation: "Different complexions use different facial paper, and the basic raw materials of facial paper are water, newborn silk, and flower oil. This is the simplest hydrating facial paper, where you drip flower oil into warm water and soak new silk in it for a quarter of an hour......" 166 Reading Network
