On an early winter afternoon, the sky was overcast and gloomy, and in the mansion of Lu Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry of Jing'an Dynasty, an old woman in a hurry was walking quickly into the Qiuhua Courtyard where the eldest lady Lu Zhihua lived. "Mother Wu, why are you here?" The little maid in the courtyard, Chunxi, saw her and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and asked respectfully. "The old lady heard that the eldest lady was fainting from crying, and sent me to take a look. How is the eldest lady now? "Although it is a word of concern, but Mother Wu's tone has no respect, she is the most proud old man in front of the old lady of the Lu Mansion, and the young ladies and young masters in the mansion have to give three points of thin noodles when they see her, this time the old lady can send her to see the eldest lady, which is enough to give the eldest lady decency." The eldest lady hadn't woken up yet, and the doctor said that she was overly sad and that she would be fine to recuperate for a few days. It just can't be too nerve-wracking. Chunxi lowered her head and replied quietly behind Mother Wu. The eldest lady has just left, and it is inevitable that the eldest lady will be sad, and those of you who are waiting around you should be careful these days. Mother Wu said a few words, and then walked into the room where the eldest lady was resting.

The first-class maid Bai Lan was waiting in the room, and I saw that she was holding a cotton swab soaked in water, carefully wiping the dry lips of the eldest lady. "I've seen Mother Wu." Seeing Wu's mother walk in, Bai Lan hurriedly put down the cotton swab and saluted. "The eldest young master has been clamoring to see the eldest lady, and the old lady sent me to see how the young lady is." Mother Wu motioned that she didn't need to be polite, and walked to the eldest lady's bed and leaned over to check.

I saw that the eldest lady's eyes were closed, there was no blood on her face, and she looked extremely weak. Looking at it like this, the eldest lady will not wake up for a while, and Mother Wu repeated the words she had just told the little maid to Bai Lan, and then said goodbye to the old lady to resume her life.

The sky darkened little by little, and Bai Lan stayed by Zhihua's side, thinking of the grief of the young lady in the past few days after the funeral of the eldest lady, and couldn't help but cry secretly. At this time, Lu Zhihua, who had been with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes wide and woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw the white tent roof, and heard the low sobbing sound of Bai Lan beside her, Lu Zhihua couldn't tell where she was for a while. "Bailan?" She whispered softly, tentatively. "Miss, you're awake!" Bai Lan burst into tears in surprise and smiled, "The old lady ordered the kitchen to give you hot millet porridge, do you want to use it now?" Bai Lan asked as she helped the young lady to sit up.

Do the dead also eat? Lu Zhihua was puzzled, she remembered that she was dead, and the sad eyes of her uncle and aunt were still in front of her when she closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Bai Lan, who had been dead for many years, and thought that she was in the underworld. Hearing Bai Lan's question, he realized that something was not quite right. I looked at my hands and found that they were white and young, not the slender but calloused, rougher hands than ordinary young ladies. At this time, the long-lost hunger in her belly reminded her that she seemed to be alive. "Miss?" Bai Lan saw that she woke up and just looked down at her hands, and didn't make a sound, she couldn't help but be anxious: "The young lady promised the eldest lady to take care of herself and the eldest young master, the eldest lady has just entered the ground, seeing you sad like this, how can you let her walk with peace of mind!" Miss, the eldest young master is still young, if you fall ill, it won't be as you like from the Begonia Courtyard. ”

Gentleman? Is her brother still there? After listening to Bai Lan's words, Lu Zhihua remembered that this should be back in that year, her mother had just died of illness, she was grief-stricken, and she fell ill just after her mother's funeral. Her younger brother was still there, and the woman hadn't straightened it yet, Lu Zhihua couldn't believe that God would treat her so kindly, and asked tentatively: "Young Master, he's okay?" "The eldest young master has been clamoring to see you, and the old lady sent Mother Wu to see you, and when she saw that you hadn't woken up, she persuaded him to come back tomorrow." It's really a younger brother, the younger brother hasn't had an accident yet, and it's still too late. Hearing this, Lu Zhihua was secretly grateful to God in her heart. Thinking of what would happen next, she cheered up and told Brandy, "Pass the food, I'm hungry." ”

After dinner, Zhihua leaned on the bedside and sorted out her thoughts. Seeing that she was not as sad as she was before she fainted, Bai Lan breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the small pestle next to her to do needlework. At this time, another big girl from Qiuhua Temple, Qinghe, walked in. "Miss, are you awake?" Seeing the eldest lady sitting at the head of the bed, Qinghe hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Seeing Qinghe, Zhihua remembered what Qinghe had done at the beginning, and asked coldly: "I've been awake for a long time, where have you been?" "Aunt Zhou and the second lady are concerned about the eldest lady's body, and they called the slave maid to ask some questions, so they delayed for a while......" Hearing the eldest lady's voice cold, she didn't seem to be very happy, Qinghe replied curtly, and couldn't help but shrink her shoulders. Is it? How long does it take to ask? Zhihua was noncommittal, and without waiting for her to answer, she ordered: "Go down, Bai Lan will accompany me." "For this kind of white-eyed wolf who eats inside and out, it's upset to take a second look.

Qinghe and Bai Lan are both big girls who have been in the house since they were children and grew up with her at a similar age. They are not only Zhihua's maids, but also her playmates since childhood. Once upon a time, they had always been the people she trusted the most. Qinghe is lively and clever, Bailan is steady, and it took a lot of effort for her mother to choose them. Qinghe has been by his side since he entered the house, and he has been raised like a young lady in a small household, so he has never seen her greedy nature before, and her mother is still sick, she was bought by the woman in the Begonia Courtyard, and has been saying good things for her and the second lady in front of her. Bai Lan is not as eloquent as Qinghe, so she used to like Qinghe more, and she was also affected by Qinghe and was very close to Aunt Zhou and the second sister, Bai Lan kept reminding herself to guard against those two, but gradually she was not liked by herself, and then Aunt Zhou straightened up and became her father's steproom, saying that Bai Lan collided with the second sister, and even disposed of Bai Lan without asking, and what about herself, the second sister forgave them by crying and saying sorry, and now in retrospect, Zhihua really can't wait to give herself a slap. Looking at Bai Lan, who was silently doing needlework under the lamp, Zhihua silently swore in her heart, her younger brother, Bai Lan, the two people who cared most about her best in the Lu Mansion, she would definitely protect them in this life! Thinking back to what was about to happen during this period of time in her previous life, Zhihua had a plan in her heart, and instructed Bai Landao: "Bai Lan, tomorrow you go to Zhuangzi and call Uncle Zhong's family, I have something to arrange for them to do." "Uncle Zhong's family is his mother's companion, and he has been taking care of his mother's dowry Zhuangzi and shop in his previous life. After Aunt Zhou straightened up, she took over her mother's dowry on the grounds that she and her younger brother were still young, saying that she was taking care of their sister and brother, and Uncle Zhong's family refused to accept Aunt Zhou's purchase because they were not slaves, and finally Aunt Zhou was finally taken care of
