"Xiao Qi, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, do you think your father and mother still have a brother?" Cheng Yuyan sat on the round stool, the room was silent, except for Li Junran who was lying on the bed, there was no one else.

Parents? Brother? Li Junran's eyes flickered a few times. Since the last time I saw Li Xu in a hurry, I don't know if Xiao Qiliu's remaining consciousness has disappeared, or if this consciousness has been fused into his bones, which makes Li Junran's feelings for the Li family deeper than when he first came.

Li Xu didn't know that Miss Cheng Fu had given a favor before, and all Jing Yaxuan's girls could see their family members once a month. Because it was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, I specially asked someone to bring two small shortbreads to Li Junran, plus a small belly pocket that I wore closely. The filling in the shortbread is said to be Xiao Qiliu's favorite taste, and a lot of lard and brown sugar are specially added. Although the little belly pocket has not seen any flowers on it, the stitches are tight, and you can feel Li Xu's strong maternal love.

At this time and space, the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 also has the custom of eating moon cakes and admiring the moon, but this moon cake is only Su style, and there is no Cantonese moon cake. And moon cakes are not called moon cakes, but shortbreads. Layer upon layer of puff pastry, crispy, much like Jinhua shortbread. It's not big, and it looks like a steamed bun. It's not a problem to touch a mouthful with a big mouth, even if it's a young lady raised in a deep boudoir, it's basically two or three bites to eat.

In Li Junran's opinion, the filling in the shortbread is actually a five-kernel filling: melon seed kernels, walnut kernels, peanut kernels and almonds with black sesame seeds and brown sugar. Some wealthy officials will also add preserved fruits such as raisins and red dates to enrich the taste. Rao, who couldn't afford expensive raisins, would also add some shredded radish strips with lard to the nut black sesame filling.

The reason why Li Junran knows so clearly is also because she is now a second-class maid. This welfare treatment is naturally much better than before, not to mention, in addition to the extra monthly money reward for the New Year's holidays, there is also food for the festival. For Li Junran, a foodie who has eaten white porridge plus bitter Chinese medicine for more than a month, you can imagine how big it is.

Speaking of which, Li Junran was also a blessing in disguise, and after two meals in a row, she went from a third-class little girl who ran errands in the kitchen to a second-class maid in Jingyaxuan. If it weren't for the relationship between age and seniority, Cheng Yuyan would still want to promote Li Junran to the position of a first-class girl in one go.

This promotion is too fast, naturally some people are envious, jealous and hateful, and there is more than one sour speech to sarcastically mock Li Junran.

After Li Junran knew, it took a while before she lightly pointed to her buttocks, stretched out two fingers to draw a "two", and then pointed to the direction of the main house where Miss Cheng Fu lived. At the beginning, those who spoke sour words failed to understand what Li Junran meant. After Bai Zhi's explanation, those people completely shut up.

According to Bai Zhi's translation, Li Junran's meaning is very simple, whoever wants her position as a second-class maid only needs to be beaten twice like her. The kind-hearted eldest lady will naturally promote people like her.

Cheng Yuyan also smiled after learning about this from Bai Zhi. Not only did he not accuse Li Junran of misleading the little girl there, but also let a few second-class girls spread the word, this method is indeed a way to be promoted to a second-class girl.

Now, those little girls have stopped eating one by one. Two boards, even if it's just one meal, more than a dozen boards will not bloom in this ass? Luckily, I didn't hurt my bones. It's not impossible if it's bad luck and therefore lose your life. Even if you don't lose your life, in case you break your leg...... For the position of a second-class maid, she lost her life, or was broken and became lame so that it was difficult to marry in the future, and the price was too great.

Cheng Yuyan, who didn't expect Li Junran to speak, pulled out a faint smile, stretched out her little white jade-like hand, picked up a small shortbread, held it in her hand but didn't eat it.

"Yes." Just as Cheng Yuyan was looking at the little shortbread in her hand in a daze, Li Junran suddenly burst out with a syllable, and the unprepared Cheng Yuyan was so frightened that she almost threw out the small shortbread in her hand.

Cheng Yuyan knew in advance that Li Junran could speak, but since Li Junran took the second meal and lived in Bai Zhi's house again, she has made more than a dozen trips, no matter how much nonsense she said, even if Li Junran's little face had an obvious unhappy expression, she didn't see Li Junran say a word. So much so that several times before, she was deliberately teasing Li Junran, wanting her to speak.

Unexpectedly, this time it was unexpectedly successful.

"Xiao Qi, don't worry. In a few more years, I'll let you go home and reunite you with your family. Cheng Yuyan looked at Li Junran's immature little face, because of repeated injuries, there was not much meat left in the originally chubby little face at this time. If her Yue'er was still alive, she would probably love pastries like this little girl. Pity...... In this life, it is impossible to hold her lovely Yue'er in her arms and sing those touching nursery rhymes over and over again.

Li Junran didn't know what Cheng Yuyan could see when she stared at her, but looking at the distracted appearance, it really didn't look like the expression of a yellow-haired girl who was only one year older than her small body. The vicissitudes of life, sadness and a little discouragement, of course, are more hatred.

After many days of contact, Li Junran can feel Cheng Yuyan's resentment and hatred a little, as a friend who is barely a simple friend, Li Junran still hopes that Cheng Yuyan can let go of the obsession in her heart, untie the knot, and live her little life happily behind closed doors. After all, not everyone can have the good fortune to be born again. Since the heavens are open, why do you keep staring at the trivial things of the previous life. It's really not worth it. There is nothing more relieving of hatred than living better than the enemy.

"Xiao Qi, you have a good rest. I'll come back to see you. Cheng Yuyan exhaled, stood up, and in a blink of an eye, she became the high-ranking lady again.

Li Junran touched her nose, looked at the exquisite pastries on the table of the Eight Immortals, and secretly wondered if she would recover her health sooner. Anyway, she still has a monthly salary of 80 big characters a month, and it is really not her style to just take money and not work.

Cheng Yuyan walked slowly towards her house along the small corridor. Originally, every time she came out of Bai Zhi's room to visit Li Junran, Cheng Yuyan would be in a good mood. And this time it was surprisingly not very happy. Although Cheng Yuyan's face was not revealed, Bai Zhi, who took care of her daily life, still saw some clues.

As soon as she entered the house, Mama Xia took a rare bowl of lotus seed soup for Cheng Yuyan in person, put it in front of Cheng Yuyan, and said with a smile: "Sister, try it." ”

"There's Mama Lao. I happen to be a little thirsty. Cheng Yuyan picked up the lotus seed soup with a smile, and when she saw that there was no one else in the room, she lowered her voice and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"The little girl under the side came to report ......," Mama Xia whispered a few words in Cheng Yuyan's ear.

Cheng Yuyan nodded, indicating that she already knew.

"Big sister, then ...... next"

"It's hard to open up, you have to let people sing the play, or ......"
