Chapter 369: Life
"I, how is it that I and Miss Xiao are the same? She is Concubine Xiao's niece! β
"You also said that she is just Concubine Xiao's niece, and you are the flesh and blood of the old prince! This is Korel, the territory of your Yelu family, not the fief of the Xiao family. What's more, even in the Xiao family, she is only a branch, how can she compare to your background? β
Is that so? For the first time, Qing'er was hot all over her body because of Lin Yu's words.
She is the only daughter of the royal family of Yelu, and she should have the capital of pride! However, she always remembered that her mother was a humble slave girl, a person who had to milk her own cows, weave wool, and take care of herself and her children every day on the pasture. She has also envied the girl who dresses like a flower butterfly around Concubine Xiao and her father every day, and has even been teased by her since she was a child, because she knows that girl is what Concubine Xiao likes and her father likes, and she is more likely to become the real hostess of Coral in the future. And now? The future princess of the little prince is not her, just like Lin Yu said, she actually has the capital to be a veritable eldest lady?
"I, got it." Qing'er said, although her voice was still weak, but there was unprecedented firmness in her tone. Thinking of Xiao Lan mentioned by Lin Yu again, Xiao Lan's position as the quasi-hostess of Coral has not been passed on for a day or two, and almost everyone has recognized her identity, so she has been treated like a guest for so many years. I believe that Lin Yu has heard about it these days, she was afraid that Lin Yu would feel uncomfortable, so she comforted, "Miss Xiao has been under the shadow of Concubine Xiao for so many years, even if Concubine Xiao passed away, everyone also took care of her, but just like a sister, the little prince likes you, so he will drive her to the ranch." β
Lin Yu patted Qing'er's hand, she was a kind girl in the end. Even if he is not doing well, he still cares about her.
"Just now, you still call him 'Little Prince'."
"Brother Jing, Brother Jingwang?" Qing'er stared at her big eyes and whispered cautiously.
"That's right! That's it! Lin Yu laughed.
"Brother King Jing." Qing'er said tentatively again, but this sentence was much louder than before, "Brother King Jing." After speaking, he also laughed with Lin Yu. A height that once seemed so unattainable actually seemed not far from her.
"That's right! He must be glad that you call him that! β
"Will it?" Qing'er blinked.
"Absolutely! In fact, you are all the same, you have lost your father since you were a child, and then you almost lost your mother's love. Now in this palace, you are the closest person to him. You can call him 'brother', at least it will make him feel less lonely in this house, won't you?" And between brothers and sisters, they should love each other! You see me and my brother and sister, when I went over, weren't they all very welcoming? β
Oh, yes! That's true! The warmth of them, it seems that they have never experienced before. There are even times when she is afraid to look at it, thinking that it is too unreal. But in fact, normal people should be like that, right? Just like on the ranch, isn't Bart and his family also very harmonious and happy?
"Hmm." Qing'er smiled and nodded. Thinking of the matter of Xiao Lan just now, Lin Yu didn't say anything more, and probably didn't want to mention it anymore, so he didn't mention it anymore.
At this time, the water was boiled, and the slave girl brought it in.
Lin Yu saw that he was the first to open the door for her. Just came in and just talked, only to find out that there was such a female slave next to Qing'er. It's just that when I usually go to my own place, I usually don't bring her.
"Why is she alone today? What about the two girls who usually follow you to my place? Jing Hao put four big girls and a few little girls running errands beside her, even if Qing'er can't take care of her, the four of them must be matched, how can she only see one person for so long?
"Theyβ" Qing'er opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, and her face turned a little red. "Mao Yihan takes care of me on weekdays, and those two go out with me, and I let them rest."
Lin Yu looked aggrieved and helpless when he saw Qing'er, and he understood a lot in his heart.
"It's fine." Lin Yu smiled and said, "Mao Yihan? The name doesn't match reality! β
In the past few days, Lin Yu has learned Hushan dialect with Nayi, and knows that Mao Yihan is an ugly girl, but this girl looks okay except for being darker.
"When the slave was a child, he was very dark and not good-looking, so the big guys called the slave 'Mao Yihan', and it became a name when it was often said." This girl doesn't have Qing'er's nervous and shy energy, and her answers are neat.
"Mao Yihan was with me when she was a child, and when she came from the ranch, I only took her." Qing'er said, "Mao Yihan is very diligent and meticulous. β
Lin Yu nodded, it's good to have a henchman. "She looks like a good girl."
Although Qing'er is taken care of by Mama Luo in this house, there is really nothing that can be done about the female slaves below who are lazy behind closed doors. Having a loyal and honest person by your side will be convenient in the future.
Lin Yu drank some water, and not long after entering the house, she already felt a little cold on her body. If the house is not warm this winter, it is better to move outside. In addition, it took her so long to boil the water just now, so it can be seen that there is no ready-made hot water on the stove.
"By the way, Mao Yihan, is there still a little hair in the cabinet? Bring it to Sister Lin! Then he turned to Lin Yu and said, "This was fried by Mao Yihan before, and it tastes very fragrant." β
Mao Yihan took off his shoes and went to the kang, dug it out in the kang cabinet, and after a while, he took out a cloth bag with some salty sunflower seeds in it.
Lin Yu tasted it, "It's really good, I can't see that Mao Yihan still has such skills!" Lin Yu praised, although she didn't make the spiced delicacy, it was not bad.
"Sister Lin eats well, let's take it back!" Seeing that Lin Yu liked it, Qing'er said enthusiastically.
"Keep it for yourselves. But Mao Yihan likes to do this, next time you can put some star anise, pepper, tangerine peel and so on. It tastes even better when you do this. β
Mao Yihan's eyes lit up, "Then next time there are sunflower seeds, I'll try to do it!" β
Lin Yu nodded. This Qing'er's life is even more difficult than she imagined. It's just a tooth-beating snack, and Qing'er can't usually eat it in the house. It's a little good, and it's still going to be hidden in the cupboard. Otherwise, it will be snatched away, and it is really pitiful.
And Lin Yutong has been getting along for a few days, and Lin Yu feels that Qing'er's introversion is different from Lin Shan's. She is kind and simple at heart, probably the two of them will be more comfortable getting along in the future, right? (To be continued.) )
