He looked at his nose and nose, and he didn't dare to look at Wei Huan, so he strode forward and said with a deep salute: "The villain Lin An is the housekeeper of Jinghou Mansion, please meet the lady." It is really the sin of the villain to disturb the lady in the middle of the night. ”

Wei Wan leaned sideways and accepted his half-salute, and said softly: "Steward Lin is too polite." For my sake, I still work as a forest steward late at night, only hard work, how can I be guilty? ”

He also invited Steward Lin to sit and asked Pan Zi to bring tea.

While Lin An was serving tea, the corner of his eye glanced at Weihuan slightly, and his heart was shocked.

This lady is the daughter-in-law of Mrs. at first glance, much more beautiful than Mrs., there is obviously anxiety on her face, but she can stabilize her mind and order her subordinates to do things in a polite and orderly manner, her expression and demeanor are generous, and there is an indescribable freedom in her delicateness, and she can't help but wonder in her heart: Where is this woman like an orphan girl who has been married for thousands of miles, this style and demeanor are not comparable to some of everyone's daughters, graceful and calm, like a princess.

He was puzzled in his heart, and he didn't bring it out on his face, but only said in a low voice: "The pretentiousness with Boss Jie in the courtyard just now was for the people in the courtyard next door...... There was a guest in the courtyard who had just moved in with the villain. The little people also moved in as if the courtyard was empty......"

Wei Wan was puzzled, but she didn't ask, just waited for Lin An to continue.

Lin An coughed lightly and said, "Madame instructed that outsiders must think that the lady came back with the villain." -- Villain: Here is the lady's handwritten letter, and the lady is enshrined. As he spoke, he took out the letter from his bosom and raised it with both hands.

Pan Zi took it with both hands, and then handed it to Weihuan.

Weiwan has been secretly admonishing herself to be calm, but when she receives the letter in her hand, she still can't help but tremble her hands slightly.

There was no writing on the envelope, only the seal was sealed with wax. I opened the wax, took out the letter paper, unfolded it, and saw that there were only a few sentences on it, although the handwriting was scribbled, but it was also seen that it was from the woman's handwriting, thinking that the time was urgent, and I wrote it in a hurry, and I didn't have time to say more.

But I am a child, and I see words like faces

Wu'er must remember that he must hide his identity from the outside world and call himself my daughter. Except for Dongfang Gongzi, Hou Ye and me, no one knows my son's background. Lin An also only knows that my son is looking for his mother for thousands of miles, and he must not say it. Other matters can be arranged by Lin An

Native word

Wei Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, which showed that her previous caution was still right.

She thought for a moment and said carefully, "Mr. Lin, how did my mother tell you?" ”

Lin An gave another salute and replied: "Half a year ago, Mrs. sent the villain to the frontier to pick up the lady back to the house, who knew that when the villain arrived, the lady had already set off. The villain chased all the way, but he didn't catch up, thinking that he was on the wrong route with the lady. The lady is in Beijing today, and the villain is also in Beijing today. When Madame saw the messenger sent by the lady today, she knew that the lady had already entered Beijing. The lady was looking for relatives for thousands of miles, and only brought a few maidservants and maids, and the lady was afraid that it would be spread out and the reputation of the lady would be hindered, so she let the villain live in overnight, and said that the lady was picked up by the villain. Tomorrow morning, the government will send someone to pick up the lady. The villain went home with the lady. ”

After a little thought, she understood why her aunt arranged it this way. Lin An moved in like this, and tomorrow he could pretend that he came back with the steward...... It seems that the aunt is planning to hide the fact that Dongfang Yi came with her all the way.

At the same time, I also figured out the deep meaning hidden under the surface.

If she lives in the Hou Mansion as a niece who has joined her family, she will have no scruples about this. It's just that if you live in the Houfu with that capacity, you are afraid that your future will be affected, such as what kind of friends you make, what kind of family affairs you make, the influence of your identity is very important, which family is willing to marry an orphan girl with no dowry and no backing as a wife?

But if you want to live in the waiting house as your daughter, all this will be solved.

If the Hou Mansion has an extra daughter, I am afraid that it will also arouse the suspicion of the world, and the aunt began to build momentum half a year ago after receiving the letter, saying that she would take the daughter back to the house, so that as soon as she lived in the Hou Mansion, she would be justified, as for who gave the aunt the letter, but guess, it was the elder brother. My brother has been keeping the pigeons that he brought back from the middle week.

It seems that what her aunt wants to give her is not a place to live under the fence, but also a home, a mother who cares about her and a reliable future.

Weiwan was moved in her heart, tears rolled in her eyes, and she bowed to Lin Anyingying: "Steward Lin has worked hard." For me, steward Lin is busy, and I can't thank you, please accept my worship. ”

Steward Lin was so frightened that he jumped up, shook his hand again and again, and said, "I can't help it!" I can't help it, this is what a villain should do...... This can kill the villain...... "Steward Lin can't help it, and it's not okay if he doesn't help it, it's really in a hurry."

Wei Wan had already bowed, and seeing his hurried embarrassment, she couldn't help but smile without tears: "Manager Lin can see the person who sent the letter?" ”

Lin An said: "No." But what's wrong? ”

It seems that Lin An didn't see Dongfang Yi, and he couldn't ask anything.

Wei Wan was very hopeful in her heart, and said with a forced smile: "Please rest Steward Lin, we will enter the mansion tomorrow." ”

sent Mr. Lin out, but Wei Wan and Pan Zi lay down again, but they couldn't sleep. Even Pan Zi, who has always been on the pillow, can't sleep.

In the dark, Pan Zi heard Weiwan tossing and turning on the bed, so she whispered: "Lady, the maid knows what to do." Early in the morning, the maid told Taohong according to the words of Manager Lin, saying that the lady was the daughter of the Houfu who returned to the house after being fostered outside - anyway, they didn't know the true identity of the lady, so naturally what we said was what it was. ”

Wei Wan chuckled lightly and said, "Are you afraid? ”

Pan Zi knew that Weiwan was asking her if she was afraid of entering the waiting house, so she said, "Don't be afraid." In Dongxia, when he fled with his mother, he practiced courage. ”

Weiwan couldn't help but smile when she heard her say something funny. After a while, he said, "You're right. After such a difficult time, are you still afraid that you will not be able to live a stable life in the waiting house? ”

"That's it, what kind of cowardice is this, lady."

Wei Wan said: "Hometown is timid. When Ming'er is free, I will teach you to read and write, and you have to learn seriously. ”

Pan Zixi said: "Okay." Suddenly, he was worried: "But the maid is stupid, what if I can't learn?" The maid used to be just a village woman......"

Wei Wan smiled: "Okay, you Pan is bold, it turns out that you are also afraid!" ”

Pan Zi said that he was on his mind, so he ate and laughed.

The master and servant talked and laughed, and gradually the east window turned white, and in the distance, the sound of the rooster crowing came one after another.

Wei Wan thought that someone would come to welcome her to the Houfu for a while, and she would be so busy that she couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, so she called Pan Zi to get up.

As soon as he got up, there was a knock on the door.

Pan Zi put on her clothes and went to open the door, and saw Zhang's mother, who she had seen yesterday, leading a few people to stand outside the door, holding a basin and a handkerchief, carrying a kettle and a spittle, all smiling and respectful. Peach stood behind them, with a smile on her face, but not a smile in her eyes.

Zhang's mother laughed softly: "The lady is awake?" The slaves and maidservants came to wait for the lady to comb her hair and change her clothes. ”

Pan Zi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood why Taohong was so pale. It turned out that people thought they were country girls, and if they didn't serve the master and lady well, they would embarrass the Houfu.

Pan Zi was unhappy, but for the sake of Weihuan, she put her dissatisfaction in her stomach, with a smile on her face, and said, "Mothers are really early." Please sit in the hall, I see if the lady is up. Moms wait. ”

Saying that, he entered the inner room and whispered to Weihuan that Zhang's mother was going to serve her to groom her, and also expressed her opinion: "...... I think we don't know the fashionable dresses and combing styles in the capital. ”

Wei Wan understood what it meant.

Although they were kind-hearted and afraid that she would be embarrassed, the motive behind this behavior made Weihuan unhappy - didn't they think she was from the countryside, and they were afraid that she would not be able to dress up and make jokes for people?
