Chapter 9: The Past
"How dare you stare at the master? Do you know who the master is? Believe it or not, gouge out your cross-eyed and kick it as a ball! "The childish stamped his feet, but he was too young and his momentum was too weak.
"Oh, only those with small arms and legs like you can kick a ball with big eyeballs, tsk!" Liu Yan replied lightly.
"You!!" The childish face turned red, and he turned around and dragged Baili Jin's grievances, he didn't get half a benefit under Liuyan's sharp teeth today, and he couldn't help but want to ask Baili Jin to help him find a place. Who knew that Baili Jin just said lightly: "Okay, pheasant!" The tone was not heavy, but it also quieted the child.
Baili Jin arched his hand to Liu Yan again: "After January, I am waiting for my son in the Huamanlou in Kyoto, and I don't know my son's name?" ”
"Smoked." Liu Yan naturally couldn't use her real name, so she casually said a name, but although she was a little surprised that Baili Jin actually used her real name, she didn't show any unusual expression.
Baili Jin nodded slightly, and then pulled the angry boy away.
It wasn't until she heard the sound of the door closing that Liu Yan slowly walked out of the inner room, instructed Xiao Er to clean up the table, and began to fall into deep thought alone.
Three years have passed, but for Liu Yan, it's only three days, and there are some things that I haven't had time to forget in three days, just like him and her.
There is no lady in the Hou Mansion, only three noble side rooms, if it weren't for his accidental death, I'm afraid that he is already a character in the Hou Mansion at this moment, although the status is not as good as the side lady, but it is also the master of the serious children in the Hou Mansion, and the old lady has promised that as long as there is a son and a half daughter, he will be promoted to his own position and become a noble side room.
Although he has no intention of fame and fortune, he has rejected the old lady many times, but now the power in the house is becoming more and more complicated, the mother of the side room lady is powerful, and the old lady has to be half forced and half coaxed to let Liu Yan become a girl in the room and give it to the Hou Ye.
It's just that......
Thinking carefully about what happened that day, the old lady told Liu Yan in a serious tone that there was a difficulty in the house, and Liu Yan immediately rushed forward and clenched her fists in a hurry: "Madam treats me like a mountain, and now there is trouble in the house, as long as it is useful to Liu Yan, Liu Yan will definitely go to the knife mountain, get off the oil pot, and never shirk!" ”
is already young, and the tone is even more intense, a pair of clear and clear eyes stared at the old lady motionlessly, the body trembled slightly due to excitement, the old lady couldn't help coughing a few times, and then laughed a little treacherous, and the wrinkles at the eyebrows and eyes deepened a lot: "Just have your words, you also know, although the house is peaceful now, but if there is a problem that cannot be solved, Madame, I can't rest assured in my heart, and now my body is not as good as a day......" said and coughed twice as appropriate, and then said: "Master Hou, he ......."
Hearing this, Liu Yan also understood, but pretended to be stupid, pretended not to know, and only listened to the old lady's details, sure enough, the old lady looked at Liu Yan so unpopular, and was a little sneering, but this did not stop her from continuing: "Although Hou Ye married three side ladies with both ability and integrity, but now there is still nothing to do, since ancient times, there is also a room girl, but after all, the three side rooms are not at fault, if you really look for a girl everywhere and push it to Hou Ye's bed, after all, it is a little not good-looking, you say, right?" ”
Liu Yan pondered for a while, and said: "This is easy to do, asking the emperor for marriage, for the marriage of the marquis, the emperor seems to be very happy, even the three side ladies are given by the emperor himself, and there is nothing to say about the appearance and virtue, it can be seen that our emperor's vision is excellent, as long as the old lady Chen Shu is a letter, this matter will naturally come to fruition, in the three or four ladies, are you still worried about the little marquis?" ”
Liu Yan thought that her answer was satisfactory, but she didn't want the old lady to seem to have expected her to answer like this, so she just sighed slightly sadly and said: "Liu Yan, you have served by my side for many years, I thought you were smart and clever, why can't you understand it!" The three side rooms in the mansion are not from the same background, the concubine of the Duke of Zhenguo, the sister of General Rou, and the concubine of Lord Mei, all of them are superior, but the Hou Mansion is too small to accommodate more "ladies"! ”
Everyone is beautiful in four words, the old lady said very ruthlessly, how Liu Yan doesn't understand, although the Hou Mansion is not as good as the palace, but the distribution of power, jealousy and competition for favor are not less than any place, the Hou Mansion is not too involved with the imperial court, because the emperor gave marriage, it is not allowed to marry the daughter of the family, but because of this, if it is too involved with the imperial court, then the Hou Ye, the hereditary marquis with a different surname for generations, is not stable.
Speaking of which, Liu Yan didn't dare to speak casually, the old lady couldn't help but be anxious, and said in a somewhat hurried tone: "My son is only seven years older than you, and all of his family background and appearance are all human beings, I can't figure it out, why don't you agree?" ”
"I'm ......" Liu Yan didn't know how to answer, yes, the old lady mentioned it no less than a few times openly and secretly, and the maid was rich and wealthy since then, and her identity was different from the past, but Liu Yan was not a person who was greedy for vanity after all, and she had seen it in her eyes over the years, and she had seen it in her eyes that she had competed for favor in several side rooms.
The old lady saw that Liu Yan was silent, and couldn't help but say eagerly: "You are Mrs. I trust the most, now the power entanglement in the house, it is absolutely impossible for new forces to come in, and now the people in the house no longer take my words in their eyes, if the three side rooms are pregnant in the future, then where is there a place for me in the house, if you are not at ease, I will promise you that as long as you are pregnant in the future, regardless of men and women, you will be immediately named Mrs. Side?" ”
Liu Yan wanted to refuse, but she looked at the old lady's slightly tearful eyes, so she nodded helplessly, what can she do now, if she refuses, she doesn't know what to do, just a maid, and it is a gift to be promoted.
After Liu Yan came back from the old lady, she went straight back to the bedroom, and waited in the room for dark, followed by Liu Yan's good sister, Lan Ruo, who was also the old lady's personal maid, sent the prepared wine and a gorgeous dress.
There is an old lady in the house, Liu Yan's temperament is a little arrogant, for Liu Yan's publicity, Hou Ye is not much restricted, in the Hou Mansion, Liu Yan is one of the best girls, and now she has become a girl in the room, and after accepting the favor, she is a veritable character, this, I don't know how many people envy it, however, Liu Yan does not have too many emotions.
just changed his clothes, and then put on a layer of makeup,
Liu Yan is thirteen years old, the appearance is not outstanding, just a little delicate, love to laugh on weekdays, porcelain white teeth with crooked smiling eyes, just like a gardenia that can bloom in summer, beautiful but not demonic, fragrant but not greasy, always gives people a comfortable feeling, there is still a little green between the eyebrows and eyes, if you are growing up, the appearance should be more and more bright, after carefully depicting at the moment, there is a trace of shyness on the green cheeks, after all, it is the first # night of the daughter's house, Liu Yan is not immune to vulgar nervousness.
Because the matter was carried out in secret, not many people knew about it, and the old lady only waited for the raw rice to be cooked and cooked in the matter and made it public in the house, and at night, Liu Yan took the wine prepared by the old lady to the study to find the marquis.
