After a while, a woman came out from behind the landscape screen, with a dexterous and beautiful appearance, wearing a lotus-colored dress, and her pretty face looked even whiter.

Luo Chan thought it was a young lady in the house, and she was about to go over to talk.

The woman glanced at her and greeted Luo Yan behind her with a smile.

Luo Yan recognized this as the old lady's big maid Baoqin.

Bao Qin blessed and said, "Miss Luo has always been good? The old lady was still talking about it yesterday! Come in with me. ”

Luo Yan smiled coquettishly: "Hello Miss Baoqin." "Follow her behind the screen.

Luo Chan's face was blue and white, and she hesitated for a moment before Liu Er Qing'er helped her in.

After they sat down, Mrs. Rong was helped out of the back hall by a group of grandmothers and maids.

Luo Yan quickly stood up, and Luo Chan also stood up when she saw this.

When Mrs. Rong saw Luo Yan, a smile immediately bloomed on her face, she took her hand, and boasted that she had grown taller and more handsome.

Turning his head and seeing Luo Chan, who was dressed in cherry red, he couldn't help but wonder: "Which girl is this?" ”

Luo Yan hurriedly said that this was her sister Luo Chan.

Mrs. Rong remembered the maid jewel that the house had given to the Luo family to accompany the bed.

"Are you okay?"

"Thank you old lady for your concern, my mother has always been healthy." Luo Chan lightly opened her lips, and her voice was like a silver bell, tactful and beautiful.

The old lady turned to look at the women and said, "Her mother's treasure bead is the most powerful by my side, unlike you who are always careless and unpopular." ”

Before the old lady finished speaking, Baoqin immediately bowed her knees and confessed her mistake: "The slave knows that it is not in line with the old lady's wishes, but the slave and the maid will learn slowly, and it is the blessing of the slave and the maid to be trained by the old lady." ”

"As far as you are a girl, I can't say anything. The treasure chest quickly helps her up, she is nineteen, how can you learn slowly! ”

Old Lady Rong blamed her mouth, but the smile on her face became deeper and deeper, and every wrinkle was full of laughter.

The treasure chest went over and helped Baoqin up, and when she stepped aside, blaming her would make a mess. The old lady's original intention was just to praise the jewel and give face to the Luo girl.

Although they have never seen the orb, it is the legend of the maids in the house. Being able to marry the prince and be an aunt is also a blessing from cultivation, why don't they look forward to having a good place to go one day!

The ancestors of the Rong family said that men in the house should not take concubines. The maid must leave the house at the age of 20.

Because of this family motto, the maids have more expectations for getting married. There is no hope for the lords in the house, and there is less invitation to pet, and the Rong family is also peaceful.

But Baoqin didn't think so, she had deeper plans......

Luo Chan's face was red, and the old lady Rong praised her mother, and clearly told everyone that she was a concubine. Born to my aunt, she was born inferior. At this time, she finally understood why Baoqin was so affectionate to Luo Yan.

"Baodie, are you ready for the second lady?"

"Back to the old lady, the slaves and maids are going back and forth, Qingfangyuan is ready, Miss Meng, the Cheng sisters and Miss Li have all settled down. Only Miss Zhu of the Duwei family in the capital has not yet arrived. Xu Shi'er will be able to arrive tomorrow. Just now, I happened to meet the doorman under the porch, saying that Miss Locke had arrived. The slave maid was very troublesome, and went to the door to pick up Miss Locke. ”

"What a lot of things, you girl! If you wait for the little maid to pass to the door and then to the inner hall, you must not delay time. You're just that, that's a good coincidence! No wonder your master likes you, is thoughtful, and likeable. ”

"Not really! Baodie went to the East Courtyard, but it has only been five years, and the second lady is no longer able to leave her. Or the old lady is well trained! The old woman in the calamus purple gown behind the old lady Rong smiled.

"Mama Yan is used to praising people, and being trained by the old lady is a great blessing for slaves." Bao Die's face was shy.

The little maids around showed envy and jealousy in their eyes.

They all know that the second lady Cheng is now in charge of the Rong family, Baodie is a celebrity around her, and she will reach the age of leaving the house in a year, and Mrs. Cheng will definitely be able to point her to a good match.

Luo Yan saw that Luo Chan's face was wrong, so she went over and took her hand and said to the old lady, "My sister is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is even more proficient in female red embroidery." This time, I also specially embroidered some sachets, which is more hearty than me. ”

After all, she is her own sister, and she doesn't want the maid of the Rong family to look down on Luo Chan.

"Really? What books has Miss Chan read? ”

Luo Chan glanced at Luo Yan gratefully. Twisted around and gave the old lady a blessing, and said: "It's nothing more than the "Female Commandments", "Internal Training", and "Female Analects" that girls often read at home, ......"

The old lady asked Luo Yan what she had read? What do you like to do?

Luo Yan said that she doesn't like to read, and usually likes to swing, kick, and origami puppets......

The smile on Mrs. Rong's face slowly retracted, and she said loudly: "It's really naughty, but you're still young, and it's not too late to read those again." She turned around and called Bao Die, and asked her to take them to Qingfang Garden to rest first, today's journey is tiring, I am afraid that she is also tired. After speaking, he yawned, his expression was a little aggrieved, and he was helped by Mama Yan and the treasure chest, and went to the back hall.

Baodie led them to walk for a long time before they arrived at Qingfang Garden. Let the little maid point out the two rooms that had been cleaned up in the afternoon and give them a rest.

She owed a debt and said to Luo Yan with a smile: "The greeting is not good, and it is not strange to ask the girl." ”

Luo Yan knew that she was referring to the snub she was referring to outside the door, and she didn't feel funny.

Bao Die saw her three years ago, and now she has grown a lot taller, and she is wearing plain clothes and old clothes, these slaves and maids who are used to recognizing people in gorgeous clothes can't recognize her, and it is normal.

"Sister Baodie has worked hard, you can go and get busy." Luo Yan said with a smile.

Bao Die gave a blessing before turning around and leaving.

Luo Chan pulled Luo Yan and said softly: "I remember that my sister likes to read the most, and she reads through the Four Books and Five Classics no less than that of a boy, so why did she go back to the old lady like that." ”

"My sister doesn't know, I have a headache when I pick up a book now. I've forgotten most of what I've read before, why bother saying that in front of the old lady, if I really ask, I'm afraid that I won't be able to say it for a while, and I'll be embarrassed in public. ”

Luo Chan sighed, and couldn't help but look at Luo Yan a few more times. The night was getting darker, and her eyes were starry, not like an idiot. Thinking about it, her temperament has changed greatly these days, and she is afraid that she is really sick and her brain is unknown, and she is not relieved, and most of the unhappy people who were neglected and neglected just now have disappeared. She thinks she is the most faceable young lady in the Locke family.

Qingfang Garden is divided into two places in the north and south, the south is called Qingju, and the north is called Yifanglou. The little maid led the Locke sisters into the Qingju.

The glazed tiles and gray and white walls of the house are hidden in the greenery, and the windows of the megridge have been inlaid with a bright green veil. The bushes of mast flowers blooming in front of the window, and the fragrance is even more faint in the night.

"Miss Luo, these two rooms are for you." The little maid turned around and said, "I just didn't know that there were two girls, I'm afraid you have to distribute them yourself." But the bed is enough. ”

Luo Chan felt unhappy again.

Luo Yan hurriedly said: "Let's look at it ourselves, there is Miss Lao." ”

The eleven or twelve-year-old little maid took her leave, covered her mouth and smiled and left.
