Chapter 4 Entering the Chen Mansion for the First Time
Lin Miao remembered that her mother had confessed to her when she was dying, asking her to bring the letter to No. 6 Chimelong Street to find Wu Da Steward, and he would arrange his own.
Lin Miao took out the letter, and after opening it, he saw that the content inside was: Xue Yunfen is incompetent, and hopes that grandma will forgive. A few words made Lin Miao see in a fog. Lin Miao originally thought that the content of this letter was to ask the housekeeper Wu to take good care of herself, but she didn't expect it to be such a few words. Lin Miao carefully resealed the letter. Judging from the content of the letter, her mother should know this grandmother, and she should have something to do, so she will ask for forgiveness from the grandmother in the letter. Lin Miao was a little worried in her heart, if her mother offended the eldest grandmother, then she would come to the door now to ask for help, wouldn't it be boring to find herself. But judging from the current situation, Lin Miao has no other better place to go, since her mother asked her to go to Wu before she died, then her old man should be sure that the eldest grandmother will not stand idly by. Thinking of this, Lin Miao relieved himself and planned to go to No. 6 Chimelong Street to find Manager Wu the next day.
Early the next morning, Lin Miao inquired all the way and found No. 6 Chimelong Street.
The building in front of Lin Miao was stunned, the white wall of the Zhumen, the three bays of the main entrance, a pair of stone lions in front, and a few big characters engraved on the wide plaque on the lintel: Chen Gongfu. As soon as Lin Miao approached the gate, he was stopped by the guards at the door: "Who is it?" ”
Lin Miao hurriedly explained his intentions: "I'm looking for Wu to take care of it." ”
One of the guards looked at her outfit and immediately said impatiently, "There is no such person, go aside." ”
Lin Miao continued: "I have a letter here to hand over to Steward Wu, please help me forward it to him." I'm waiting for news here, thank you, big brother. The guard was about to excuse himself, but another guard ran over and took the letter, and said to Lin Miao, "You wait, I'll go and deliver the message to you." "Thank you." Before Lin Miao finished speaking, the previous guard flew over with a roll of eyes. Lin Miao was not annoyed, and waited outside the door happily.
After a while, the guard came out of it, followed by an old man who looked like a steward. But they didn't come out from the front, but through the corner gate. The guard nodded at her and regained his feet at the main entrance. The old man in charge stood still at the corner gate and asked Lin Miao, "Are you looking for Wu Da Steward?" Lin Miao nodded and replied, "Yes." The old man looked Lin Miao up and down, and said to her, "Come with me." ”
Lin Miao followed the old man and entered Duke Chen's mansion from the corner gate. As soon as he entered the corner gate, Lin Miao was shocked by the scenery in front of him. Surrounded by high walls, surrounding this deep house compound, the corridor in the courtyard is connected, the corridors extend in all directions, the green trees and lush pavilions are covered, all kinds of rockery waterfalls are around, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, so that the forest seedlings seem to feel that they have entered a fantastic fairyland. There is a small lake in the shape of a half moon in the middle of Chen Gong's Mansion, just divide Chen Gong's Mansion into two courtyards before and after, there is a half-arch stone bridge on the lake, there is a pavilion on the bridge, the pavilion beam hangs over the vulture, such as the flying swallow spreads its wings. The rockery in the lake is numerous, exquisite, and the caves are like that.
Lin Miao followed the old man into the front yard, and the old man led her to a guest room and asked her to wait, and he went to inform Chief Steward Wu.
Lin Miao looked around the furnishings in the room, the exquisite porcelain glittered under the refraction of light and shadow, the carved patterns on the solid wood tables and chairs were lifelike, and the picture scrolls hanging on the walls were exquisite. Just when Lin Miao could see his senses, a voice behind him coughed lightly twice. Lin Miao hurriedly turned around and found an elegant old man standing behind him. He was of medium height, his skin was a little loose, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "What is the girl's surname?" What's the point of looking for someone Wu? As he spoke, he sat down on the Taishi chair on the main seat, and at the same time motioned for Lin Miao to sit.
"My name is Lin Miao, and my mother Xue Yunfen asked me to come to Wu's steward before she died." Lin Miao thought to herself, no one in the Chen Mansion knew her, and she just didn't know what the original name of this body was, so she just used her real name in her previous life.
Wu Lian Wu's eyelids jumped, but on the surface, he was silent, he asked, "Xue Yunfen is your mother?" How old are you this year? The question he asked happened to ask Lin Miao's knowledge blind spots, and she didn't know how old this body was. But since Chief Steward Wu asked like this, he must confirm with her whether he is really Aunt Xue's daughter. Lin Miao weighed in her heart, if she indiscriminately reported her age and let the people in Gong Chen's Mansion know that she was deliberately cheating, she would definitely not have good fruit to eat. If you don't know, you don't know, tell the truth, it's a big deal to be kicked out and find another way to live.
"My mother never told me when I was born, so I don't know how old I am." Lin Miao lowered her eyes to hide the weakness in her eyes. Therefore, she didn't see Chief Steward Wu's expression of secretly relieved.
"Since it is entrusted by the Xue family, the old man must help. You sit down for a while, and I'll go and report to the grandmother. Chief Steward Wu got up, motioned to Lin Miao to be restless, and then went out.
In the grandmother's room, the steward of Wu reported Lin Miao's defection one by one, and presented Xue's handwritten letter. After the eldest grandmother Liu Yucian read the letter, her willow eyebrows rose: "This Xue Yunfen is really daring!" ”
Chief Steward Wu hurriedly saluted: "Grandma is angry." I don't think Xue told her anything, and she doesn't know anything now. If Grandma doesn't want her to live in this world, I'll do it. ”
Liu Yucian raised his hand to stop him, and his expression returned to normal. She thought about it and shook her head gently: "It's not ten years ago, the Xue family finally raised her, and now it's a pity to kill her." I haven't figured out what to do with her for the time being, so I'll let her stay in Gong Chen's Mansion first. I'll talk about the rest, let me think about it. ”
"Yes" Chief Steward Wu received the order, and then asked tentatively: "Grandma, in what capacity should she stay in the mansion?" Is it the master or"
"Humph!" Liu Yucian shook over with a pair of beautiful eyes like a knife, "Do you want me to teach you this kind of thing?" This little girl can save her life now, which is her great blessing, what? Do you still want to kick your nose on your face and put your master's score? ”
"The slave is stupid, please calm the anger of the grandmother. The minion will do it" Chief Steward Wu bowed his head and bowed down, and took the order to retreat.
Chief Steward Wu arranged Lin Miao in the kitchen of the mansion and asked her to follow a group of old mothers to dry wash vegetables and pick vegetables, brush dishes and wash dishes. Lin Miao wanted to ask Chief Steward Wu what her mother had to do with Gong Chen's Mansion before. Unexpectedly, Chief Steward Wu, who was originally polite to her, replied impatiently: "What can it matter?" She is a subordinate of Gong Chen's Mansion. Now that she is dead, she wants her children to join her old club, it's as simple as that. His disdainful eyes seemed to tell Lin Miao, don't be delusional about sparrows turning into phoenixes.
