"Mingyu." Cheng Shulan interrupted Yan Mingyu.

Yan Mingyu raised his eyes.

Cheng Shulan said: "I won't write it." ”

"What's wrong?" Yan Mingyu asked.

Cheng Shulan shook her head, put down her pen, returned to her room, and closed the door. When I needed to say goodbye in the evening, Luye went to Mrs. Cheng to ask for leave, saying that the fourth lady was unwell and couldn't come today, so I asked Mrs. Cheng for forgiveness.

Mrs. Cheng looked concerned and asked, "Have you invited a doctor?" ”

Luye said: "Mrs. Hui, I didn't invite you, the fourth lady said that she wanted to sleep, just sleep." ”

"Nonsense! How can you not let the doctor take a look if you are unwell? ”

At this time, Cheng Hualan answered: "Mother, the fourth sister should not be in a good mood, when I talked to her in the morning, she was a little unhappy, I thought, maybe I was thinking that I would leave Cheng Mansion in the future, so I was sad." ”

Cheng Hualan's words were far-fetched, but it was enough to make Mrs. Cheng go down the steps, and the concern on the surface was expressed, what else do you want? So Mrs. Cheng said, "Okay, let's ask again tomorrow." ”

Cheng Hualan then hung her head and remained silent.

Green Leaves also ran back to Fuxia Garden.

It wasn't until Cheng Molan and Cheng Hualan left the eldest lady that Dr. Cheng smiled.

Mother Du said: "It seems that the words of the eldest lady have played a role in the fourth lady. ”

Mrs. Cheng smiled proudly.

Mother Du said again: "Mingyu, she knows so many secrets of the Cheng Mansion, and she makes the eldest young master think about it, she must not be kept!" ”

Mrs. Cheng was silent and said: "Now, if I say that Dayin Temple prays for blessings and brings Mingyu and green leaves that can't be needle-and-thread in Cheng Shulan's courtyard, Shulan's girl shouldn't be like that, protecting Mingyu like a calf, so that she can't leave an inch, right?" ”

Du's mother said: "She is a countryman, and she said that if Mingyu is with her, the people in the house can't be disobedient." However, now that the two have fallen out, let's blow a little wind again, the fourth lady must think that the eldest lady is good for her, so she will also listen to the words of the eldest lady. What's more, seeing that the fourth lady likes Young Master Qi Che quite much, this is the bargaining chip. ”

Mrs. Cheng smiled meaningfully.

At the same time, Cheng Shulan was still in the room, lying on the bed, not sleeping, but looking at the sky with her eyes open, watching the sky darken little by little, and the courtyard began to hold lights.

She looked into the illuminated interior.

Thinking of the first time I saw Mingyu, when her face was destroyed, Mingyu came to give her face with washing water, and as soon as she appeared, she scared Mingyu's basin of water down.

Then the green sleeves explained that Jade would beautify her face, Mingyu really would, Mingyu cured her face and made her beautiful again.

She took Mingyu to the banquet, and Mingyu taught her to congratulate her, which pleased the old lady Qi, and made everyone change their opinion of her, and she also had a small reputation in the boudoir.

Then Mingyu used her reputation to recuperate Mrs. Qi, preparing rice water every day, preparing face ointment every day, collecting Mrs. Qi's silver, and using these silver to deal with the difficult little ghosts in the house.

Her life is getting better and better, Mrs. Cheng looked at the red eyes, so she found Zhu Sujin, Zhu Sujin is fat and ugly, this is Mrs. Cheng deliberately put a hurdle, so that she can't cross it, and she falls hard, Mrs. Cheng also grabbed Mingyu's family, even at this time, Mingyu still did not abandon her.

All the honors, family affairs, and ...... she has so much These are all given by Mingyu.

How can such a bright jade be the same kind of person as Green Sleeves and Green Lotus. How could she erase Mingyu's care and help for so long because of Mrs. Cheng's words.

The more Cheng Shulan thought about it, the more she felt that Mingyu had done too many things for herself.

The sentence she remembered most clearly was-Fourth Miss, don't be afraid, I'm here.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shulan mourned in her heart and cried on the bed.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Yan Mingyu's voice came from outside the door: "Fourth Miss, are you awake?" ”

Cheng Shulan hurriedly wiped her face with her hands and said, "Wake up, come in." ”

"Yes."

Immediately, Yan Mingyu entered the room with a lantern in one hand and a food box in the other, then closed the door, removed the lampshade of the lantern, and lit the oil lamps in Cheng Shulan's room one by one.

At this time, Cheng Shulan had already walked to the table and asked, "Mingyu, today is the dinner you went to the kitchen to get?" ”

Yan Mingyu said: "Yes, Fourth Miss, you seem to be in a bad mood today, so I asked the master to make you a bowl of sweet soup, you can taste it, and people will feel better after drinking the sweet soup." ”

After finishing speaking, Yan Mingyu didn't hear the movement, and looked back, but saw Cheng Shulan with her head down, sitting at the table, and not speaking.

"Fourth Miss." Yan Mingyu shouted.

Cheng Shulan raised her head and said with tears on her face: "Mingyu, I almost did something sorry for you. ”

Yan Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "However, the fourth lady didn't do it." ”

"You know?" Cheng Shulan asked.

Yan Mingyu shook his head: "I don't know much. ”

Cheng Shulan stretched out her hand and wiped her face indiscriminately, and said, "You sit down, I have something to say to you." ”

Then Yan Mingyu sat opposite Cheng Shulan.

Cheng Shulan took out a piece of paper from her cuffs, the paper was transparent with ink, and she could see that there were black letters and red seals, Cheng Shulan handed her to Yan Mingyu and said, "This is yours." ”

Yan Mingyu glanced at Cheng Shulan, unfolded it, she clearly saw the three words of the deed of sale, she was slightly surprised, surprised not that the deed of sale was in Cheng Shulan's hands, but that the deed of sale was in Cheng Shulan, and Cheng Shulan was willing to take it out.

Cheng Shulan is an authentic woman of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they all say that the wealthy family is weak, such as Mrs. Cheng, who has raised Cheng Qinlan for so many years, once Cheng Qinlan makes a mistake, she will immediately leave it clean. For example, Cheng Qinlan has been following Cheng Molan, but the two are at odds with each other.

Therefore, she thinks that Cheng Shulan may be like Cheng Molan and Cheng Qinlan, only for profit, and her feelings are weak. Or to put it bluntly, Cheng Shulan may just be the property of her servant and master, so for her own benefit, she will not take out this deed of sale.

But Cheng Shulan took it out. This made Yan Mingyu's heart, which had been frozen all day, suddenly warm up, and said, "Fourth Miss, this ......"

Cheng Shulan struggled for a whole day, and finally made a decision, she suddenly felt a lot easier, and said: "This is given to me by the eldest lady, she said that you have always wanted to redeem yourself, and you have looked for her many times." ”

Yan Mingyu said: "I haven't looked for her many times, I only looked for her once." ”

"But I almost believed her." Cheng Shulan Road.

"In the end, you didn't believe her."

"Hmm." Cheng Shulan said: "Mingyu, let's go." ”

Yan Mingyu looked at Cheng Shulan, very moved, and said, "Thank you, Fourth Miss." However, I can't leave now. ”

Cheng Shulan was stunned: "Why?" The deed of sale has been returned to you, why can't you leave? ”

"I know too much about Cheng Mansion, Mrs. Cheng could have returned the deed of sale to me and let me leave, but she passed through your hand again, which shows that she has no intention of letting me go." Yan Mingyu said. Another reason is that Cheng Wentao can't pay attention to a maid, she has violated too many taboos of Mrs. Cheng, think about the fate of the first few maids in Fuxiayuan, so Mrs. Cheng will never let people go so easily.

Cheng Shulan couldn't help but be stunned: "Then what should I do?" ”

Yan Mingyu thought for a while and said, "The day after tomorrow is the day when Cheng Fu goes to Dayin Temple to pray for blessings, and I think that the eldest lady will let me go with me to help." ”

"Why did you go along?"

"Because the eldest lady saw that you didn't dispose of me." Yan Mingyu said.

Cheng Shulan frowned.

Seeing this, Yan Mingyu interrupted her train of thought and said, "Fourth Miss, the food is almost cold, you can eat it quickly." We'll think about it after eating. ”

Cheng Shulan hadn't eaten much all day, and when she heard Yan Mingyu say this, and as soon as the food box was opened, the aroma that came to her nose made her hungry, so she said: "Then eat first, and then find a way." ”

"Okay."

"Drinking?" Yan Mingyu asked.

"Drink, if you don't drink again, you won't be by my side." Cheng Shulan Road.

Yan Mingyu smiled: "Then drink." ”

Then, Yan Mingyu took out a small jar of osmanthus wine from the Baihua room, ate it carefully, drank it slowly, and finally Cheng Shulan was drunk.

After getting drunk, he was very honest, so he just lay on the bed and began to whisper: "Mingyu, I almost believed the eldest lady, I will never give you a deed of sale, let you be a maid forever, but you are good to me, you are leaving, I am reluctant...... The four aunts are not good to me, and neither is your father, and they are not ......."

Yan Mingyu sat on the side, listening to Cheng Shulan say these words, her eyes were sour. She is good to Cheng Shulan, and the good starting point is because she and Cheng Shulan are tied together, although later it was because Cheng Shulan is not bad, she is indeed really good to Cheng Shulan.

Today, Cheng Shulan took the initiative to make the right choice without being mentioned. This is very gratifying for Yan Mingyu, at least after she leaves, Cheng Shulan will be able to gradually distinguish between right and wrong in the future, instead of letting people mention everything.

However, she has to go, where is so easy.

Early the next morning.

Cheng Shulan took the green bamboo as usual to greet Mrs. Cheng.

Mrs. Cheng saw that Cheng Shulan's face was slightly haggard, but she didn't know that this haggard was because she drank too much osmanthus wine with Yan Mingyu last night, and she was only hurt by her own words, so she asked: "Shulan, listen to Luye, you were unwell yesterday, and you are okay today?" ”

"Mother Xie cares, it's much better." Cheng Shulan Road.

"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Cheng said with a smile.

Then, Mrs. Cheng asked about the completion of a few Lan Nuhongs, and whether there was a new look recently, and this good morning passed.

Cheng Molan, Cheng Hualan, and Cheng Shulan just left.

Mother Du came up and asked, "Madam, did you say that the fourth lady gave the deed of sale to Mingyu?" ”

"I don't know if I gave it to me, but Mingyu must have known it, and the deed of sale was on Shulan. Otherwise, Mingyu came back to me last night to ask me to sell the deed. Mrs. Cheng said.

Mother Du thought for a while, and then said: "Big lady, do you think that the fourth miss will be soft-hearted and let Mingyu out of the house, after all, Mingyu has followed the fourth miss for so long, and has done a lot of things for the fourth miss." ”

Mrs. Cheng thought for a while and said: "Shulan shouldn't react so quickly, listening to the green sleeves, Shulan not only didn't pay much attention to Mingyu, but spoke straight to Mingyu, it seems that early this morning, because the water served by Mingyu was not hot enough, she was knocked over by Shulan, after all, Shulan still has a young lady's temper." ”

"Well, eldest lady, I think it is better for us to bring Mingyu when we go to pray for blessings, and then ...... It's just a maid, you don't have to be afraid of wolves in front of you, and you don't have to be afraid of tigers in the back, and you miss the opportunity. After all, the fourth lady is now a townsman. ”

Mrs. Cheng nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, when the relationship between the two is the worst, we can take Mingyu away, otherwise, Shulan will definitely not let Mingyu go to Dayin Temple alone." ”

"The eldest lady is right."

After Mrs. Cheng agreed with Du's mother, that night, she said: "In recent days, there have been a series of incidents in the house, and everything has not stopped. It just so happened that it was the day to go up the mountain once a year to pray for blessings, and this time I wanted to bring more people, in addition to contributing some more sesame oil money, and giving more porridge for one day to help some poor people. ”

"Mother, I'm going to help." Cheng Molan was the first to propose.

Mrs. Cheng immediately agreed: "Okay." ”

"Mother, Hualan is also willing to go."

"Mother, Shulan is also willing to go."

Cheng Hualan and Cheng Shulan said at the same time.

Mrs. Cheng said slowly: "You two can't go. ”

Cheng Hualan and Cheng Shulan were stunned, the two of them went last year, why can't they go this year?

Mrs. Cheng explained: "The family affairs of the two of you have been decided, except for the Cheng Mansion is doing needlework for the two of you, the maids in your own room also have to do it, if you two go, the maids should be lazy." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Hualan and Cheng Shulan both lowered their heads and remained silent in shame.

Mrs. Cheng continued: "But this time there are a lot of people, Shulan, the handiwork of the two maids in your room, Mingyu and Luye, is not good, this time I won't let them be in Cheng Mansion, take them to Dayin Temple to help, can you agree?" ”

Cheng Shulan was stunned, and sure enough, Mingyu guessed correctly. Mrs. Cheng just didn't want to let go of Mingyu, and Cheng Shulan was embarrassed.

At this time, Cheng Hualan answered: "Mother, if the fourth sister can't vacate people, it's better to transfer another maid from me." ”

"You don't need to transfer it from the second sister, just let Mingyu and Luye go, anyway, the two of them can't be red, and it's useless to keep them in the house." Cheng Shulan seemed to have finally made up her mind.

Cheng Hualan didn't say anything anymore.

Mrs. Cheng and Mother Du had different levels of smiles on their faces.

Cheng Hualan glanced at Mrs. Cheng sideways, and thought to herself, what is Mrs. Cheng going to do?

After Cheng Shulan returned to Fuxia Mansion with Luzhu, she told Yan Mingyu about it.

Yan Mingyu asked, "Fourth Miss, can I go out of the house?" ”

Cheng Shulan asked rhetorically: "What are you doing when you go out of the house?" ”

"I want to meet my friend, I'm afraid that this time I will go to the Great Sound Temple, so I ......"

Cheng Shulan was stunned: "How bad is the evil?" Then why did you ask me to agree to the eldest lady's request? ”

Yan Mingyu said with a smile: "Fourth Miss, if you don't agree to the eldest lady's request, the eldest lady will have other requirements, the eldest lady has always been such a person, if she doesn't hit the wall once, she won't look back at all." ”

Cheng Shulan had nothing to say, but worry was written on her face.

Early the next morning, Yan Mingyu took advantage of the female relatives in the back house to ask for peace, and she was busy, so she secretly came to the back door of Cheng's mansion.

As usual, it was the straight who was watching the back door.

Junko smiled and greeted her.

She asked with a solemn face: "Junzi, can the eldest young master go out from here today?" ”

Shunzi Nahan said: "I went out, I went out with a little guy, saying that I was going to Yuexiang Building." I heard the three words Yuexianglou, but I don't know where Yuexianglou is, hey Mingyu, what are you asking for? ”

Yuexiang Building? Cheng Wentao is also in Yuexiang Building?

Yan Mingyu said with a straight face: "Shunzi, I want to go out of the house, only the fourth lady knows, you know, I know, maybe the eldest young master also knows, everyone else doesn't know, do you say it's okay?" ”

Shunzi had never seen Yan Mingyu so serious, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and asked, "Mingyu, is something wrong?" ”

Yan Mingyu said: "Yes, it's a big thing. I have to go out this time. ”

Seeing Yan Mingyu's anxious face, Shunzi couldn't help but panic in her heart, and said, "Will you come back?" ”

Yan Mingyu said: "It may come back, it may not come back." But I'm not going to bother you. ”

"You ......"

Yan Mingyu really didn't have time to deal with Shunzi anymore, she took advantage of Shunzi's hesitation, ran out of the back door with a dodge, and said, "Shunzi, goodbye." ”

Junzi ran out of the back door, but instead of catching up with Yan Mingyu, he muttered, "Mingyu, you must come back." ”

At about the same time, Cheng Wentao arrived upstairs in Yuexiang Building, which is not the largest restaurant in Los Angeles, nor is it one of the most luxurious in Los Angeles, but it is indescribably elegant.

Not only is the Yuexiang Building elegant, but the garden in the Yuexiang Building is also quite chic.

At this moment, Chu Wei, Qi Che, and Yan Ziqi were sitting at a table, waiting for Xiao Er to serve the food.

Qi Che yawned and said, "Brother Zi, you are really in good spirits. ”

"I'm a poor man's life, how can I be like you, you're going to get married, let you come out and ask for a drink, saying that you have a good drink, but you can't drink two cups, and you will fall asleep."

Qi Che said: "Two cups, Brother Zi, I almost drank two jars." If it weren't for Chu ...... Childe will run errands in the future, and when he meets the two of us, it is estimated that both of us will drown in the wine. ”

"Not really." Chu Wei answered, and then looked downstairs.

At this moment, Cheng Wentao entered the restaurant.

Yan Ziqi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Wen Tao, Brother Wen Tao, here, come here." ”

Cheng Wentao raised his head and saw the three of them, wondering, he was obviously here to see General Chu, why did Yan Ziqi, who sold spices, and Qi Che of Qi Mansion also be there?

Cheng Wentao beckoned to Chu Wei, went up the stairs, and arrived upstairs in Yuexiang Building after a while.

And at this moment, Yan Mingyu has taken off the maid's clothes on her body, changed into an ordinary folk girl's dress, standing on the street, looking around, she has never been here, although she has seen the map drawn by Yan Ziqi to her, but Yan Ziqi's painting is too abstract, she didn't see Yuexianglou at a glance, so she politely asked an old man: "This old man, may I ask where Yuexianglou is?" ”

The old man pointed to the left and said, "Keep moving forward, then turn right, and see a three-story restaurant, which is Yuexiang Building." ”

"Thank you, thank you, uncle." After asking clearly, Yan Mingyu immediately rushed to Yuexiang Building. 166 Reading Network
