"I didn't ...... It's nothing! Grandma, I may be tired, can I go and rest for a while? ”

"Okay, let's go, Mother Wu, take Ling'er to the West Wing to rest."

Ling'er returned to the room, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw that the third sister was sitting at the table and feasting, and the tenth sister was sitting on the side and taking a small sip, a few plates of snacks on the table, and a bunch of empty plates.

When a few people saw Ling'er come in, Chun Qiao immediately took two little girls to Ling'er to greet her: "Miss is back, this is the little maid that the slave maid picked for Miss: this is called Qiu Cicada, good at female red embroidery, this is Qiu Ming, but there is nothing good at it, but she has a lively temperament and is very likable, I don't know if Miss is satisfied?" ”

Ling'er stared at the two little girls and looked at them, the autumn cicada was small and exquisite, and her temperament was quiet and delicate; Qiu Ming was a little fatter, and his round face had a pair of small eyes, but he was always smiling, and he felt really pleasing. Ling'er nodded with satisfaction: "It's good, I've worked hard for you, Chunqiao." ”

"Slaves and maids don't dare, it's just a matter of duty."

The two little girls also looked at Ling'er timidly, Qiu Ming saw Ling'er's gentle attitude, her heart was happy, and her courage was much bigger, so she said crisply: "Miss, Sister Chunqiao is wrong, in fact, slaves and maids are good at finding out the news, and Miss wants to know what she wants in the future, just ask the slaves and maids to do it, and make sure that you can get the news you want." ”

Ling'er smiled: "Really? Then I might really bother you in the future! ”

"Slaves don't dare."

The third sister over there finished the last bite of snack, leaned on the back of the chair with her stomach and hiccuped: "Miss, this snack is so delicious!" ”

Ling'er frowned: "Look at you, it's like you haven't eaten in a few lifetimes, and people who don't know still think that our family is so poor that we can't eat enough." Really! ”

The third sister hiccuped, hehe laughed dryly, Chun Qiao and the two little girls also covered their mouths and snickered, Chun Qiao said: "Miss, there are still a lot of small kitchens, Qiu Cicada and Qiu Ming, you go and get it." ”

The two of them answered. Ling'er walked to the table. Chunqiao immediately came up and helped her move the chair lightly, and Ling'er couldn't help but look at her, and then at the third sister. The two are so different!

Ling'er sighed in her heart, no wonder her grandmother wanted to send a maid to herself, the third sister's appearance was really unacceptable in a big family. Although I don't need someone to serve me, I still need to fill the table sometimes.

At dinner time. Ling'er left the third sister and the two little maids in the house, and took the tenth sister and Chunqiao to go. The feast was set up in the old lady's courtyard. The old lady hadn't come out yet, but there were already a lot of people in the courtyard.

As soon as she appeared, the eldest aunt and the second aunt greeted her, and the eldest aunt glanced at the spring girl beside Ling'er. A little sour: "Ling'er, you see how much our ancestors love you, and they will give you Chunqiao as soon as they come." How many times have I begged my ancestors, but I still asked for Zhilan. I didn't see her old man loosen his mouth. ”

The second aunt said: "Sister-in-law, there are still few big and small maids in your room, and there is no one around Ling'er, if you want to eat this, it will be too good!" ”

The eldest aunt glanced at the second aunt and said with fake disgust: "I'm just joking with Ling'er, and my younger brother and sister are taking it seriously?" ”

The second aunt also smiled and narrowed her eyes, and then she pulled a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy next to her over: "Ling'er, this is your cousin Shisheng, this year is just twelve, Sheng'er, hurry up and give your cousin a gift." ”

Then the eldest aunt also called the two sons in her room to get to know Ling'er, so Ling'er and the people of the Ye family all met. Because there are too many people, and they have just met, the impression is not too deep, but fortunately, with Chunqiao by her side, she knows all the masters and servants up and down the Ye Mansion, and she can also bring the other party's background preferences together, which saves Ling'er a lot of effort, and it will be much more convenient to act in the future.

The dinner party is still quite lively, but everyone is mostly holding the old lady's stinky feet, as long as the old lady asks herself, everyone will remember herself, the second uncle did not come, I heard that I went to the field to talk about business, and I can't come back for a while.

That night, Ling'er rested in the middle wing of the old lady's courtyard, and the old lady said that she wanted to talk to Ling'er, but she was old after all, and she couldn't stay up for long before she fell asleep.

After breakfast the next day, the old lady personally took Ling'er to Yanfang Courtyard, which was on the other side of the backyard, the farthest away from the old lady's courtyard. The old lady held Ling'er's hand and walked slowly:

"Alas, this side is a little farther away, everything else is fine, because it is the yard where your mother lived before, so I want to arrange for you to live over there, Ling'er, you take a look first, if you think it's not good, grandma will change the yard for you."

"No, no, grandma's arrangements must be good, and I also want to see where my mother used to live."

"It's good!" The old lady walked slowly, and it took nearly a quarter of an hour to get to the place. The gate of the Yanfang Courtyard is in the shape of an arched bridge, and the gate is covered with vines along the courtyard wall, and the middle is dotted with white or red trumpet flowers.

The old lady stopped and looked at the courtyard wall, and after a while, she sighed softly: "Alas, Yan'er didn't know where to get a few weeds to plant in the flower bed, she thought that other flowers and plants hindered the growth of this weed, so she had to stripped off all the flowers in the flower bed, and circled around the weeds all day long, for which she was scolded by her father, and now the weeds are crawling all over the wall!" ”

Ling'er liked to listen to the old lady talk about her biological mother, but she didn't expect her biological mother to like this kind of country wildflower. The group entered the courtyard, this courtyard is not smaller than the old lady's yard, and the furnishings and layouts inside all reveal the exquisite wealth of the young lady, and the old lady walked around one by one.

"This house is still the same, Ling'er, you can live here, if you lack anything, let Chunqiao go to your aunt, she will definitely arrange it for you."

The old lady may have been hurt and sad, so she didn't stop in the yard and let her subordinates carry her back in a soft sedan chair.

As soon as the outsiders left, the third sister and the tenth sister jumped up with joy, the third sister rushed into the living room and rummaged through the pile of things on the table to find food, while the tenth sister ran over and curiously touched the smooth satin fabrics, and couldn't put down the delicate jewelry in the box.

Ling'er also walked in, and saw that the table was full of things, Chun Qiao came in and said: "Miss, these are the meeting gifts sent to you by the owners of the house, you see, these are given by the old lady, this pair of bracelets is given by Miss Zhilan, and this step shake is given by Miss Zhiyu, this ......"

Chun Qiao introduced the things on the table one by one, most of these things were quite precious, but Ling'er was not very interested in this, just smiled and listened to Chun Qiao and said nothing.

Chun Qiao's heart is strange, this young lady has been born and raised in the countryside, although the family is okay, but that's it, she went to the old lady last time, so she still understands. I thought that the young lady would be excited to see so many precious things, or at least she should be excited, but she was not as expected, which is strange.

Ling'er's eyes fell on an ordinary small wooden box in the corner, she reached out and took it, opened it to see, it was just an ordinary silver hairpin. Chunqiao's face changed, and she introduced: "This is given by Miss Zhi Huan, Miss Don't be careful, Miss Zhi Huan doesn't mean to snub Miss you, it's just that Miss Zhi Huan ...... her" (to be continued)
