Lin Yan looked at the sky outside that was completely dark, and said strangely, "Why did you come at this time?" ”

Gui's mother was originally Zhuang's maid, and later became her nurse, but she only served Lin Yan for ten years, and when Lin Yan was ten years old, Gui's mother's brother made a small fortune and ransomed their family out.

Gui's mother also has a daughter as old as Lin Yan, and the Zhuang family asked her if she wanted to put her daughter next to Lin Yan to serve, but Gui's mother refused.

Gui's mother is not a child in the house, but when she was a child, she was so poor that she couldn't survive, so she had to sell herself into the house and become a maid, so she was a little arrogant in her heart. Lin Yan knew in her heart that she felt that she was a person who served others, but she didn't want her daughter to become a subordinate who served others.

Lin Yan has not been very close to this nurse since she was a child, but she also has the affection of a nurse, not to mention that although Gui's mother is a little arrogant, she is not a bad person, and she is also very dedicated when serving her.

Lin Yan instructed Mu Zhidao: "You go and invite the nurse in." ”

Mu Zhi said yes, and then went out. After a while, she was followed by a middle-aged woman with a round bun. She was dressed very simply, but she was neat all over her body, probably because she was going out to meet guests, and she had a silver hairpin on her bun.

When she saw Lin Yan sitting on the chair, she first lowered her eyes, then knelt down and kowtowed three times, and then said, "Fourth Miss, I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect you to grow so big." ”

Lin Yan and her have indeed not seen each other for nearly five years, and Gui's mother is different from other people who have redeemed themselves and left the house, even if they go out, they still go back to the house from time to time to visit the master, in the hope that they can continue to leave an incense here in the Lin family. But Gui's mother went out, but she really never came back.

Lin Yan asked Mu Zhi to help her up, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen the nurse for many years, are you okay all these years?" ”

Mother Gui said: "Mrs. and Miss's blessing is very good, very good." ”

Lin Yan smiled and asked Mu Zhi to move Zhang Zizi for her, but Gui's mother refused to sit and only stood all the time.

Lin Yan was not reluctant, and asked her: "The nurse came to me, is there something wrong?" ”

Mother Gui stood there with her eyes down, she didn't speak for a long time, her face showed a little hesitation and struggle, as if she was thinking about an extremely difficult thing, after a while, her face returned to normal, raised her head and smiled lightly, and said: "It's not a big deal, but I heard that the fourth lady's family affairs have been decided, and I want to enter the house to kowtow to the fourth miss." ”

As he spoke, he knelt down again, kowtowed to Lin Yan three more times, and then said with red eyes: "Fourth Miss, when the slave maid serves you, she is not satisfied, and she always thinks about leaving the house in her heart. Now that you have finally found a good family, the nurse is very happy. I am a vulgar person, and I don't have anything good for you, and now I kowtow to you three times, and I should be the nurse to thank you for your kindness, and the nurse wishes you a safe and healthy life. ”

Lin Yan hurriedly helped her up with her own hands, and said, "I'm already very happy that the nurse can come to see me, what are you talking about." ”

Gui's mother said: "Now that I have kowtowed to the young lady, I have also calculated a matter of concern, and the slave maid still has something to do at home, so I will go back first." After speaking, he hurriedly said goodbye and left with Lin Yan.

Mu Zhi hurriedly caught up with her and sent her out.

Lin Yan called Mu Lan over and instructed her: "You go to the nurse's house early tomorrow morning to see if anything happened to the nurse's house." ”

If it's really just kowtow and just come to the house during the day, and come to the house at night, I'm afraid there is something urgent to ask for someone, but after entering the house, I can't say it, so I found an excuse.

On the second day.

The Lin family has a female dependent, and the Li, Qi, and Zhuang are all dressed according to the quality and wear the costumes of the order. Lin Yan also dressed up carefully.

Qi Shi looked at the niece in front of him, a purple plum blossom pattern silk gown, and below it was a concubine's red twelve Hunan skirts, covered with scarlet mink fur, embroidered with rich peonies. Although the bones of the body have not fully grown, and the posture is not upright, it makes people feel peerless, dignified and graceful, independent and inviolable.

And the red mink collar makes her little face extraordinarily red, her eyebrows are crooked, her face is always smiling, and her eyes are playful and cunning, as if she can always see everything clearly, so nothing can enter her heart. With her, you will never be able to treat her as a child, and unconsciously treat her as a mature adult.

The Qi family also had to admit at this time that this niece may have been born to be a queen, and what man could suppress the nobility and excellence she exuded from within marrying an ordinary family.

Lin Yan walked over and saluted the Li family, the Qi family and the others.

Qi Shi took her hand and sighed: "Every day when I see you, I always feel that you are different today from yesterday, and yesterday is different from the day before yesterday, Yuan Yuan, you can always surprise the second aunt." ”

Lin Yan smiled lightly and did not speak.

Zhuang took his daughter's hand and said, "Wait a minute, you will ride in a carriage with me." As he spoke, he went to test the temperature of her hand again, and then instructed Mu Zhi, "Bring more hand stoves for your young lady." ”

Lin Ying walked over from the other side, and when she saw her daughter, she was also a little surprised, reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile: "The longer you look, the more like your mother." ”

Zhuang glared at him, Lin Ying touched his nose a little embarrassed, and then said, "Hurry up and get in the carriage, it may be a fortress on the road when it is late." ”

Lin Ying and Lin Yong also have to enter the palace, they are going to participate in the Winter Solstice Dynasty in front, and Lin Yan and the others are going to the harem to receive the banquet.

Qi Shi and the others nodded, and then got into the car under the service of the maid. Li and Qi sat in the front, while Lin Yan and Zhuang sat in the back, and Lin Ying and Lin Yong and others were riding horses outside.

Although they weren't too late to set off, they were stuck in traffic for a while. By the time we arrived at the entrance of the palace, it was already around 10 a.m.

At the gate of the palace, an inner eunuch came to greet them, one led Lin Ying and Lin Yong to the front court, and the other led Lin Yan and others to the harem. When they arrived outside the gate of Changkun Palace, they were handed over to an older palace maid.

Changkun Palace is the residence of the queen and the place where palace banquets are usually held. But now there is no queen in the palace, according to qualifications, the winter solstice palace banquet should naturally be supported by Wu Guifei, so this palace maid should naturally be Wu Guifei's person.

The palace maid glanced at Lin Yan with a smile, and then respectfully saluted the Li family, Qi and the others, and said politely: "Mrs. Lin, Duchess Wuguo, Mrs. Lin, Miss Lin, Miss Lin, you are finally here, the concubine has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
