It was almost lunchtime when Changsheng heard a noise in the east wing, it should be Douhuang who went to release the salute, so he still took the book and sat motionless by the charcoal basin waiting for her.

After a while, Dou Huang came over, holding a food box in his hand, and his eyes were red. Changsheng was stunned for a moment, understood that there must be a hidden secret, deliberately pretended to ignore it, waited for her to arrange the dishes, smiled faintly and left the meal, Douhuang lowered his head and excused himself.

Changsheng understood that the rules of the Xie Mansion were big, and they were just polite, so he didn't force her to stay, telling her that she didn't have to serve, and that she would come and pack up the food box after eating.

Watching her turn away, Changsheng suddenly understood that the person who reprimanded her to cry must be the old lady. The big family is very particular, she is the third son's Mingjing girl, it doesn't hurt to teach a few words for a small mistake, if it is a big mistake to be investigated, except for Mingjing and the old lady in charge, no one will train her so seriously, unless someone deliberately and Mingjing don't go.

When she turned her head to face the hot meal, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, the old lady was from a famous family, even if she didn't want to see her, she didn't care about being treated badly in life.

The dish is a fragrant two vegetables and a cup of soup, the staple food is actually snow-white rice, the north is mainly pasta, and the palace is the same, Changsheng has rarely been able to eat white rice since he came through, and after returning home, he is mainly coarse beans, almost forgetting that she was mainly rice-based in her previous life.

When Douhuang finished packing up and returned the food box and came in again, his expression had returned to normal, and he seemed to understand that Changsheng had something to ask her, so he knelt down very obediently: "Douhuang heard that several aunts came to the West Cross Courtyard, and they all blamed Douhuang for not being good, and after a long morning, he left the girl alone who was unfamiliar with her life, and asked the girl to punish her." ”

Changsheng pulled her up and secretly rejoiced in her heart, and the anger of the morning disappeared. Douhuang is not only careful and clever at observing words and feelings, but also speaks very decently, not only pointing out the things that embarrassed several aunts, but also taking the responsibility on himself, it seems that Mingjing will indeed pick people, and as soon as the third son returned to Xie Mansion, he suddenly became mature and sensible.

However, she is all over the county in the Uncle's Mansion, Mingjing and Mo'er are not easy to see, the old lady has prejudices, and Granny Lu makes people suspicious, Douhuang is both clear and clear, and should be trustworthy, but I don't know if she is willing to say anything to herself?

"Silly girl, why are you kneeling so cold on the ground? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to block me? I know, the old lady must be afraid that you will not take good care of you, so she sent you to ask for some things. Since the old lady passed on you, how can I blame you? ”

Douhuang's face turned white, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Changsheng, secretly shocked how did she know that it was the old lady who reprimanded her to cry?

Looking at her calm and kind eyes, my heart was a little lighter, thinking of the old lady's explanation, I opened my mouth but wanted to speak again, bit my lip and lowered my head and said with difficulty: "Yes, the girl guessed right, the old lady said that the girl is the eldest son's choice, and she is deeply valued by the son, and I am afraid that I will not serve well clumsy and clumsy, so that the son will mistakenly think that the person who treats him harshly in the house, so I told the slave to serve the girl well." ”

Changsheng took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, what is the best choice? Important? Someone who treats him harshly? What are these words? Like an elder said? Didn't you say that the old lady was born in a famous family and paid great attention to the rules? Is it just because Mingche chose to send herself back to take care of her daughter without her consent?

She looked at Dou Huang, trying to force her to tell the truth but held back. Although she was clearly and clearly chosen, she was born and raised in a home, and she has been controlled by the old lady for many years, and she is not familiar with herself, maybe there are relatives in the house who are controlled by others, and she is jealous, how could she confide the truth so quickly? Let's take our time.

"The old lady is bothered, it is rare for her to be in charge of a large family, and she still remembers my little thing, and I will thank her if I have the opportunity. Now I have something more important to ask you, presumably the third prince has an explanation for you, and you also know what I came to Xie Mansion so far to do? ”

Douhuang nodded solemnly: "If the girl wants to know about Miss Jinshu, the slave will know everything!" ”

If he is really a clever person, he immediately guessed what he was going to ask. "Then tell me, what the hell is going on with Miss Jinshu? Granny Lu always said that she was afraid of seeing people, how afraid was she? And what is the reason why Granny Lu refused me to see her? Is it really just because she's afraid of life? Anything that involves the two of them, tell me all if you know. I heard that my grandmother died three years ago, so let's start with what happened before she died. ”

Douhuang nodded but turned around and went out to close the courtyard door, Changsheng liked her more carefully and cautiously, so he simply pulled the charcoal basin, poured a cup of hot tea by himself, and chatted slowly, the more she was like this, the more relaxed she was, and the more she would talk.

When the young grandmother Lin Xinyi was alive, Xiao Jinshu was very healthy and lively, and she was a little beauty, so she was born to be the top of her father's heart. At that time, Xie Mingche was in the barracks all the year round, and Lin Xinyi was different from ordinary young grandmothers from official families, and she had always taken care of her daughter with her own hands.

She was born rich but is a concubine, her biological mother died early, she has not received a good upbringing since she was a child, her body is weak, she doesn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she can't hold needles and threads and embroider flowers, but she does very well in rice, and she has never seen many practices, especially when she always makes some strange things for Xiao Jinshu to play, and the mother and daughter are very affectionate. Changsheng thought that she probably didn't have the pain of her mother, and her mother didn't like it, so she always figured it out by making her own food.

What makes people sympathetic is that Lin Xinyi died of a sudden heart palpitation three years ago, Jin Mei was just four years old, she was seriously stimulated at a young age, crying and screaming for her mother all day long, and she was not allowed to leave except for her biological mother, who was most familiar and close to Lu Nanniang, and Lu Nanniang was also homeless, so she took on the responsibility of taking care of Xiao Jinshu. Slowly, Xiao Jinshu refused to see people and refused to speak, and now it is getting more and more serious, staying in her room every day to play with toys made by her mother when she was alive, except for the most familiar and closest people, no one will see.

What exactly is palpitation? Is it heart disease? Changsheng felt pity, if it was really a serious congenital heart disease, it would probably be difficult to escape the fate of early death in ancient times.

Last year, Jin Shu was six years old, and when she reached the age of enlightenment, there were several times when the old lady carefully selected her aunt and piano and chess master according to the family rules to prepare for good training, but when Jin Mei saw the living person, she either cried or hid, as if she was too scared to do it, and the hired people couldn't get close to her. The old lady did not give up, and asked people to look around for someone who fell in love with Jinshu, and was ready to let him enter the mansion after the New Year, until Changsheng came yesterday.

Changsheng smiled bitterly, no wonder he was not welcomed, innocent people were angered, it was probably the most unjust thing in the world.

While thinking about it, Douhuang said: "Does the girl know, the second young grandmother is the half-sister of the eldest young grandmother, but she is a concubine!" ”
