Chapter Seventy-Nine: Refusal to Welcome
Yun Qing took out a very delicately embroidered sachet and said: "I embroidered it a few days ago, and I have already sent it to a mother, and today I will bring this to my sister, which is filled with herbs and spices, and hang it on the bed net to repel mosquitoes, so my sister will accept it."

Listening to her "mother" and "sister" calls, I really felt uncomfortable.
I took a sip of tea and said expressionlessly, "No, I'll do it myself." ”
The mother-in-law acted as a peacemaker on the side and said, "It doesn't hurt to have one more, this sachet is of excellent use." ”
I still didn't reach for it.
Yun Qing's hand stretched out awkwardly, and after a while, she let out a soft "oh", and was about to withdraw her hand, Lan Sheng leaned over and took the sachet over, and said, "I'll take it for your sister-in-law." ”
Then he said to his mother-in-law: "Mother, the child thinks that in the future, it is better for Yunqing to call you 'stepmother', call me 'brother-in-law', and call Shuzhen 'sister-in-law' like before." ”
Yun Qing's little face tensed, and she slowly retreated to the chair and sat down.
The mother-in-law reprimanded: "Such foolish words should not be said, if this is the case, what face will Qing'er have in the house in the future?" I took her into the house just to prevent her from being bullied, isn't your idea going to make Qing'er ridiculed by others? ”
Lan Sheng was silent for a while, and then said, "It's the child who didn't think about it properly." ”
A figure appeared outside the door, and Yingqiao, who had just gone out, came back at this time, with a cup of tea in his hand.
I suddenly remembered what she had told me yesterday about "making amends."
Sure enough, Yun Qing took the teacup in Yingqiao's hand, walked to me and knelt down, held the teacup to the level of her forehead, and said, "Yun Qing failed to serve tea to her sister before, and today I specially apologized for my sister's sins." ”
Although I also knew that she was going to show Lan Sheng this, if I rejected her twice, Lan Sheng might think that I was a little unreasonable, but I just couldn't convince myself to take this cup of tea.
If I take it, won't it be equivalent to acknowledging her status as a concubine?
I turned my face away and said coldly: "I don't want to drink it, you take it back." ”
Lan Sheng spoke for me and said, "Yunqing, your sister-in-law doesn't like to drink tea in the morning, it's okay, you don't have to worry too much about this, the tea doesn't have to be served." ”
Yun Qing pursed her lips and didn't speak, but she still insisted on putting the teacup on the table next to me before returning it.
After sitting for a while, the maid came in and asked, do you want to put breakfast on the table now?
After breakfast, Lan Sheng and I went back.
When I got to the house, Lan Sheng put the sachet given by Yunqing under the tip of his nose and smelled it, and said to me, "Really, don't you want to?" The taste is ok. ”
I asked him, "Do you want to keep it?" ”
Lan Sheng looked at me and said, "It's better not to stay, just make another one." ”
I took the sachet in my hand and said, "If you think it's good, keep it." Then he walked over to the dressing table and took out another sachet.
Lan Sheng asked me suspiciously, "What are you doing here?" ”
I didn't reply, I poured out the contents of the sachet I made, and then put the spices and herbs in the sachet made by Yunqing into the sachet I made, and then handed it to Lan Sheng, and said, "Now you can hang it on the bed net, and it can also repel mosquitoes, which is really good." ”
Lan Sheng smiled wordlessly and took the sachet. I threw the sachet from Yun Qing into the paper basket.
I sat on the chair and poured myself a cup of tea, Lan Sheng sat down next to me and said, "It's a rare opportunity to stay at home with you, let's talk about where you want to go?" I'll go with you. It's not good that you're bored at home all the time. ”
I raised my head and looked at him with a smile and asked, "San Lang really has the leisure to accompany me out?" ”
"Well, of course." He said softly.
My heart was instantly filled with happiness. In the past, Lan Sheng was not often at home, and he rarely accompanied me out often. He understands it himself, so he often says he owes me something, and I always say "I don't mind".
Now that I think about it, it's false to say "don't mind", but in fact, I still really wish he could be by my side all the time.
I rolled my eyes and thought, "What are the interesting places in Haining?" ”
Lan Sheng thought for a while and said, "A few days later, there will be a temple fair near Baoyue Temple, and I will take you to visit it then?" ”
The ancient temple fair should be what it is called today, there must be a lot of people at that time, although I don't like to stick to the crowd, but it is quite good to see the scene of the ancients rushing to the market, and there is Lan Sheng with him, even if there are a lot of people, what does it matter?
I nodded and said happily, "Okay! ”
After discussing this matter, I thought that the temple fair is a day that people value more, if this matter is known to my mother-in-law, then she will say, let us take Yunqing with us, I don't want to do that, so Lan Sheng should be embarrassed again.
So I said to Lan Sheng again: "Let's not tell my mother, okay?" I just want to go out with the two of you and not bring anyone else. ”
Lan Sheng was silent for a while, and said, "I don't want others to be with me, but I don't want to say a word to my mother when I go out, it's not good, what if there's something in a hurry?" And if we go out, we must have a carriage, and my mother will know when she arrives. ”
I pursed my lips and said, "What's the urgency?" Don't you often stay at home all year round? And we didn't have much to do with the fact that we weren't out for a long time. As for the carriage, you can just go and say no to the housekeeper, and if my mother asks, she will naturally know where we are going. ”
I remember that in the previous life, Lan Sheng's words were still very good at the housekeeper's. At that time, my mother-in-law said that she would send me to see the official, didn't the housekeeper say that she had been instructed by Lan Sheng to let her mother-in-law wait for Lan Sheng to come back before dealing with my affairs?
If my mother-in-law had known about this earlier, we would not have been able to go out comfortably. I really don't want anyone else to follow.
I hugged Lan Sheng's arm, shook it coquettishly, and looked at him with a pitiful expression.
Lan Sheng reluctantly compromised, and said softly: "Okay, listen to you." ”
I burst out laughing, leaned over and took a sip on his cheek.
On the day of the temple fair, Lan Sheng and I went out after breakfast, and greeted Yueying before leaving, telling her that if anyone asked, she would say that my uncle and I went out and would come back in the afternoon.
I went to the butler to get the carriage, and sure enough, the butler happily led the carriage out.
I understand now, in fact, the housekeeper listens to the words of my mother-in-law and Lan Sheng, and if anyone is closer to them, they may be able to eat at the housekeeper's place. Sometimes he looks like he's very fair, but in fact, he still has a very personal position. (To be continued.) )
