Chapter 5: The Liu Family Brothers and Sisters
"Miss, don't you do this again next time?" On the way back, Zhiyun didn't know where she got the courage, maybe she believed that the young lady in front of her would not hurt herself, just now, but she had been protecting herself behind her.
"Well, why?"
If Yan Xi didn't stop, he would like to hear about it.
"Miss Sixth is notoriously spicy and vengeful in the house, Miss Er has embarrassed her today, and she will definitely find a way to retaliate in the future." Zhiyun has seen Yan Ziyan's methods, and she is very cruel.
"Oh, really?" Yan Xiruo smiled disapprovingly, holding grudges, this has not changed in ten years.
It's just a pity that when she meets her, she can only endure it when she is spicy and resentful.
"Thank you, Zhiyun." This sentence is true, although I don't care about Ziyan, but this girl kindly reminded her that it was also for her good, it seems that grandma has trained a sensible and obedient girl.
As soon as he returned to Qingfeng Garden, Yan Xiruo didn't have time to catch his breath when he heard the news that the eldest lady was coming.
Sighing lightly, it seems that they don't plan to let her rest properly, one after the other.
"Xiruo, you are back, just now in the hall, the aunt wanted to greet you, but because of the presence of Lord Mo, I am not good to stay there as a woman, so I just came here at this time, and I didn't disturb Xiruo." Yan Xiruo, who was far away, saw the love on the eldest lady's smiling face, and the tone was full of concern and also showed her demeanor as a mother of a family.
"Where, the eldest aunt can come to see Xiruo, and Xiruo is too late to be happy?" Yan Xiruo put away the unhappiness in his eyes, replied gently, and let the eldest lady pull him to ask for warmth.
"Come on, Xiruo, these things were given to you by the eldest aunt, you just came back, and you use them in many places."
Yan Xiruo looked at the things that the eldest lady ordered to be sent, there were really a lot of things, in addition to the ones he wore and used, there were actually a lot of jewelry and silver taels.
"There's Aunt Lao."
"Where, I treat you like my own child, don't you see what you say?" The eldest lady looked pampered, as if the girl in front of her was her own child.
"Oh, by the way, the old lady asked me to pick out a few maids for you, you see I'll send them to you in a moment......"
"No need, auntie, I won't bother you about this matter, I'll go and see for myself tomorrow about the maid's matter, you are busy enough for this family, this little thing won't bother you." Yan Xiruo's smile is decent, and the words he says are also pleasing to people.
"That's right, this girl, you still have to pick it yourself, then I'll let someone bring it to your yard, what do you think?"
"Thank you, auntie."
"Then the eldest aunt won't bother you, you can rest early, I'll let people call you after dinner."
"Okay, Zhiyun will send the eldest aunt."
"Yes."
Sending the eldest lady away, Yan Xiruo's eyes fell on the boxes of things sent, and the corners of her mouth hooked, this eldest lady is very attentive, these things are worth a lot of money.
"Miss?" A slightly surprised voice sounded at the door made Yan Xiruo pull his gaze back.
"Mama Lin." The old lady at the door was none other than Yan Xiruo's grandmother who took her before she was eight years old, and she was also a very close person.
Mama Lin was brought by Yan Xiruo's father, so the Yan family also respects her, after all, Mama Lin is an insider.
"Miss, you're finally back, it's been ten years, but let the old slave wait." Mama Lin looked at the young lady in front of her who was more and more similar to her wife, and cried with joy, if the master saw it, he must be very happy.
Sir, where the hell are you, your daughters are all adults.
"Mama worries you." Yan Xiruo has respect for Mama Lin, this is the only thing her father left her, although she has never met her father and mother, but she can always hear about them from Mama Lin's mouth.
If Yan Xi knew her identity, Mama Lin had told her before she arrived in Phantom Valley, which was also the reason why she would go to Phantom Valley obediently.
She knows her identity, and she knows what such an identity will bring to her, whether it is good or bad, it will be what she will face in the future.
"Mama, in the future, I'm going to bother you again." Yan Xiruo took Mama Lin's hand and gently wiped away her tears.
"Where is Miss, it is the honor of the old slave to take care of Miss." Looking at the gentle young lady smiling in front of her, Mama Lin didn't know what fate awaited her when her identity was revealed?
After all, she is the only girl in the Phantom Family in the past fifty years, Mama Lin has been serving the little master in the Phantom Family since she was a child, and she also knows that the Phantom Family has been all men in the past fifty years, and Miss is the first girl, and this girl's identity is destined to be extraordinary in her life.
Mama Lin looked at her with pity, she really hoped that no matter what happened in the future, her young lady would be safe, as long as the young lady was safe, she could do whatever she wanted, and this was the right thing to ask Mrs. Qi to entrust.
"That's right, grandma, this is Zhiyun, who used to serve grandma by grandma's side, I saw that she was well-behaved, so I asked for her, grandma should treat her well." Yan Xiruo pointed to Zhiyun on the side, full of smiles.
Such a real smile seems to only appear next to the old man, the old lady and the grandmother in front of her, and the young lady at this moment is so beautiful that Zhiyun forgets how she dealt with the sixth young lady just now.
And just now, when she talked about herself like this grandmother, since she said that she asked the old lady for her, not that the old lady gave it to her, it can be seen that this master respects people.
Looking at her attitude towards this grandmother, this grandmother must be very important to the young lady, the young lady talked to the grandmother about herself, undoubtedly found a backer for herself, and also told the people in this yard that she was the person next to her, and others couldn't move.
Somehow, Zhiyun's eyes were a little hot, this young lady looked inscrutable, and even sometimes ruthless, but she was unusually good to the people around her.
And what she has to do is live up to her goodness.
"Oh, and, Mama, I heard that the fourth uncle brought me two people back?" In front of Mama Lin, she doesn't need to be that docile and false Yanxiruo, in front of her, she can be her true self just like in front of her grandmother and uncle, she can be coquettish, she can mess around.
"Yes, you see, people are old and forget about it." Mama Lin smiled and wiped away her tears, and turned back to greet her brother and sister who had been standing outside for a long time: "Why don't you come over and see Miss." ”
"I've seen Miss." Mama said that in this Qingfeng Garden, she is the young lady, and out of the Qingfeng Garden, she is the seventh miss of Yanfu.
"No need to be polite, since it was brought back by the fourth uncle, then it will be good to stay here in the future, you know?" Putting away the truth just now, she put on the mask of gentleness and hypocrisy again, it was not that she was suspicious of the person sent by her uncle, she was just used to facing unfamiliar people like this.
"Yes." When Liu Fu and Liu Hao were on the front line, they often heard General Yan mention this niece, and every time they mentioned it, they had a smile on their faces, which made those of them who were used to seeing life and death feel warm.
And now, General Yan sent them to her side, and gave them only one order, to protect the young lady.
The general is even more kind to the girl in front of him than his own children. They don't know why, but they know very well that from today onwards, this girl is their master, the master they must protect with their lives.
"Okay, don't be so serious in this Qingfeng Garden in the future. So, your name? Yan Xiruo looked at the girl in front of her, a little confused, she didn't seem to know their names yet.
"The slave and the maid Liu Fu, next to it is the slave's brother Liu Hao." The girl's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, but she was a person who had seen life and death.
"That's good, Liu Wu, you and Zhiyun will take care of my daily life in the future, as for your brother, it's good to stay in the mansion first." Yan Xiruo tilted her head and thought about it, since she was the fourth uncle's person, then she would believe it.
"Miss, this ......" Mama Lin felt that something was wrong, one of the two little girls had been with the old lady for ten years, and she was relieved when she arrived, but the other was a fresh face, and at first glance, it was a practicing family, leaving such a person by Miss's side, and being so close, it was a little inappropriate to think about it.
"Mama, I believe them." Yan Xiruo may be a little suspicious, but she is willing to give a chance, and she believes that if one of these two people betrays herself, the consequences are not something they can bear, she can give them the opportunity to get close to her, she can give them trust, but it is best not to be proud of her good pampering of them.
A sentence of I believe them, let the brother and sister in front of them raise their heads at the same time, looking at this woman with a gentle smile, there is trust in them in that look, and there is no impurity.
When they came to Yanfu, they often heard people mention the matter of this Seventh Lady, as long as everyone who had seen her ten years ago, they all said that she was an arrogant and cruel person, even if she was only eight years old at that time.
But now, they can't connect this girl with someone else's mouth.
The brother and sister glanced at each other, and tacitly made the same decision in their hearts, they followed this master, not because of the general's order, but because this girl deserves their lives to protect her, even if she is really as the scorpion heart that outsiders say, she has no regrets.
If Yan Xi is very satisfied with what bursts out of their eyes, it is loyalty to their own decision, loyalty that no one can defend.
"Miss, can I stay in Qingfeng Garden, so I can protect you nearby." Liu Hao knew where his responsibilities were, so his request was a bit bold.
Yan Xiruo looked at him, and just when everyone thought she wouldn't agree, she nodded: "It's okay." ”
"Thank you, Miss."
"In the future, there will only be four people in this Qingfeng Garden, okay, let's disperse, I'm also tired, go and rest for a while." He yawned as he spoke.
"I'll go get a basin of water for Miss." Zhiyun turned around and went outside, while Liu Wu led Yan Xiruo to the inner room to rest.
Mama Lin and Liu Hao were left in the hall all of a sudden.
Mama Lin looked at Liu Hao, the young man in front of her looked very young, but the perseverance in his eyes was rare, and looking at his bones, he should be a wizard who practiced martial arts.
"How about martial arts."
Since Liu Hao didn't react for a while, he didn't realize that the grandmother on the other side was talking to him again, and he was a little stunned: "Ang? ”
"I ask you, how are the martial arts." Mama Lin repeated impatiently again, and the young man and her sister in front of her could see that they were both loyal people. Although Mama Lin is not a phantom family, she has lived in the phantom family for decades, although she does not have the mysterious ability of the owners of the phantom family, but she is very accurate in looking at people, who is really loyal, and who has a different heart, she can see it. So, since Miss wants to reuse these two people, then she will definitely help Miss.
"It's fine." Liu Hao thought for a long time before he thought of these two words.
"Oh, how many can you fight against if it's a first-class samurai?"
"Twenty to Thirty"
"What about your sister?"
"Ten to twenty."
Hearing such a number, Mama Lin frowned slightly, maybe for ordinary people, this kind of martial arts is already good, but to protect the safety of Miss by Miss's side, such martial arts are far from enough.
"It's too weak."
Liu Hao couldn't believe that the martial arts he had always been proud of were only three words in front of this grandmother, and he was a little hit for a while.
"Liu Hao, your brothers and sisters are too weak, you must become stronger, only if you are strong enough to be able to protect Miss, you know, I can't tell you too much, but from tomorrow, I will let people teach you brothers and sisters martial arts, remember, only if you are strong enough to protect Miss, you must become strong, this will be your mission for the rest of your life."
Although he was a little unconvinced by being preached by the grandmother in front of him, when he heard her say that he had to become strong to protect Miss, he knew how important the responsibility he would shoulder in the future, and the grandmother in front of him also trusted himself to do so.
And he and his sister are categorically not going to live up to that trust.
"Liu Hao, never betray Miss, you brothers and sisters can't afford the consequences."
This is the last sentence that Mama Lin left him today.
