Everyone went out of Biyun Temple, and no one was interested in talking for a while, so they got into the carriage and went home.

Originally, Ji Lu wanted to eat a vegetarian meal in the temple after worshipping the Bodhisattva, but now it is naturally not possible.

By the time I got home, it was already past dinner, and everyone was a little hungry. The eldest lady told her daughters not to publicize the matter of King Jin everywhere, so she sent everyone back to their rooms.

Yulan took Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu to Lu Jingzhai, and met a little girl who came to report on the way: "Mother Qian is back, waiting for the girl in the courtyard!" ”

It's almost the end of the day. Yulan was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately added her steps.

As soon as I approached the courtyard, I saw a woman standing at the gate a few meters away, looking to be in her forties, dressed in coarse cloth, with a dark complexion, and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and forehead, looking in the direction of the courtyard gate.

It is Yulan's nurse Qian's mother.

Seeing Yulan, Mother Qian ran two steps, knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and cried and shouted: "Seventh girl! For a moment, she couldn't stop crying.

Yulan was very emotional, and her eyes were already red, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help her up and said, "Mother Qian, what are you doing, get up, it's been hard for you in the past two years." Come with me into the house, and we'll have a good talk. ”

Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu also stepped forward to see Qian's mother with tears in their eyes.

Yulan dragged Qian's mother into the hall, sat on the bed by herself, and asked Qian's mother to sit beside her.

Mother Qian repeatedly refused, but she refused to sit. Yulan said: "I haven't seen you for two years, Mom, you are still so polite." Forced Xiaoyue to sit down with her.

Yulan took Qian's mother's hand, touched a layer of calluses on her hands, sighed and sighed: "It's only been two years, Mom, you're a lot older." Zhuangzi is too bitter! ”

Mother Qian wiped a handful of tears: "There is food and drink in Zhuangzi, but I just do some rough work and tiring work, but I don't have much suffering." It's just that I often think about the girl, thinking that there is no reliable person around the girl, and I feel uncomfortable. I am so happy to see that the girl is doing well and looking more and more beautiful today! ”

The subordinates worship high and step on low means, Yulan has already understood, and Yulan doesn't need to think about it, and he knows that if Qian's mother makes a mistake like this, she will definitely be bullied by the Venerable Master Zhuangzi. She couldn't help choking up, "It's all because I'm useless, I didn't bring my mother back earlier!" ”

Mother Qian patted Yulan's hand and said, "Girl, don't say that, I know that it is difficult for you." This time, if the girl hadn't begged the old lady for grace, I wouldn't have been able to come back here, the account room had already told me that the old lady had promoted me to be a second-class mother, and there was a monthly case of eight hundred yuan every month...... "Mother Qian smiled happily, "The girl is still worried about me as an old woman, I am happier than anything else!" ”

Qian's mother is a native of Hejian Province, and when Yulan was born, there was an epidemic in her family, her husband fell ill and died, and she had no way to live. He fled to Beijing with his infant son, seeing that he couldn't survive, it happened that the seven girls of Yangfu were born, looking for nurses everywhere, and they were recommended by a distant relative, signed a deed of sale, and went to Yangfu to be Yulan nurses.

I have been milking Yulan for five years.

She doesn't know a single word, but she is loyal and honest, she knows how to repay her kindness, she has never had a bad heart, and she loves Yulan as her own daughter.

In the years after Aunt Qi's death, Yulan was young and had a hard time, the eldest wife often deducted the green Jingzhai degree, and Qian's mother often stayed up late and secretly embroidered small items to sell to the house to subsidize the family. She sheltered Yulan like a chick and a hen and helped her through those hard years.

Yulan inherited the memories and emotions of the original owner, and naturally has a very deep affection for Qian's mother.

Yulan asked Qian's mother about the situation in Zhuangzi in the past two years, and Qian's mother just reported good news and not bad news, and Qian's mother asked about Yulan's situation again, and Yulan picked and chose to tell Qian's mother about the situation in the past few years.

Seeing that Yulan Yangfu had gradually gained a firm foothold, Mother Qian smiled very happily and praised again and again: "The girl has grown up and is sensible!" ”

I haven't seen each other for two years, and the master and servant are both worried about each other and can't finish talking. The two recalled the past years, Yulan said: "When I was eight years old, I had a severe cold in the summer, I had a terrible fever, no matter how I drank the medicine, my wife did not ask the warehouse to supply ice cubes to us, it was Mother Yang who knelt in front of the warehouse and begged for an hour, only to get some ice chips, to help me get rid of the fever, my mother treated me kindly, I will never forget!" ”

Mother Qian smiled innocently: "These are all things I should do, what does the girl mention it for!" Aunt Qi treated me so well that day, if I didn't repay the girl well, I would still be a person! ”

Qian's mother doesn't know a single word, but she always shows the beautiful brilliance of human nature: simplicity and kindness. Yulan secretly made up her mind that she would repay her well if she had the ability in the future.

Yulan went out of the city for a morning, and she didn't even eat lunch, when the little maid came over with a food box, and Xiaoyu had already set up the meal for the second time. I came to greet Yulan for dinner.

"Girl, it's time to eat!"

The carriage was bumpy for two hours, and Yulan was really hungry, so he stood up, "Mother Qian hasn't eaten either, let's eat with me." ”

Mother Qian hurriedly refused, "Then what's the matter, girl, you eat you, I'll just serve you." ”

Yulan couldn't help but pull her into the dining room, but Qian's mother couldn't shirk it, and sat at a table with Yulan to eat. She didn't feel good at sitting on a stool, and she ate an awkward meal.

Yulan sighed. This era, after all, is a hierarchical era, they can rely on themselves and trust themselves, but they can't really get along with themselves as equals.

After eating, Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu also came around. The two of them have followed Yulan since childhood, and they have worked together with Wang's mother for a long time, and they also have a very deep friendship with each other.

Yulan asked about Qian's mother and son Li Hu again. "Is Brother Huzi okay? I'm sixteen years old this year, right? ”

Mother Qian said that her son's spirit was bright: "The girl is thoughtful. The old lady sent for my unruly son. Huzi has grown taller in the past few years, and with a lot of strength, he can do everything on the crops. He is a foreign man, and it is inconvenient for him to see the girl, otherwise I will lead him in and kowtow to the girl. ”

Yulan nodded again and again: "That's good, wait for me to write a letter to the third brother, arrange Brother Huzi to be by his side, be a little girl, let the third brother take care of them, do things well, and make a name for himself in the future." Mom didn't take care of him back then, and the third brother is a loving and righteous person, so he will definitely not shirk. ”

Mother Qian has been such a lone seedling all her life, and she is very grateful: "It's really annoying the girl, I think so well for the old woman, I don't know how I can repay this kindness......" As she spoke, tears were about to fall again.

Yulan and the two big girls persuaded her together, and Mother Qian wiped her tears, "Brother Zong is also out now, I heard from the little girls in the yard that he has passed the county exam in February this year, and is now preparing for the April government exam." If you pass the government exam, you will not be a child, and if you pass the academician exam, you will have a reputation. It's really amazing, in the future, the old woman will burn incense and worship the Buddha for him every day, and pray for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and he passed the government examination this time. ”

Yulan smiled: "Why don't you go to see him in person, he sent someone to tell me a few days ago that you must meet him when you come back." He is now studying hard every day in the outer courtyard, and he must be happy to see his mother. ”

Mother Qian was overjoyed.

After chatting for a while, Yulan estimated that the old lady should also get up after taking a nap, so she said to Qian's mother: "Mom, you haven't gone to thank your grandmother yet, come and meet the old lady with me." ”

Mother Qian is the eldest lady who drove out of the house, and if she comes back unexplained this time, it will inevitably attract slackness and dissatisfaction from her subordinates. I went to ask the old lady to come to thank you, and secondly, I also let everyone know that Mother Qian came back this time because the old lady meant.

Mother Qian is an honest person, but she didn't understand these twists and turns, and replied: "As soon as I returned home, I rushed to the girl, and I really didn't go to the old lady to thank her." The girl was right, without further ado, it was necessary to go there early so that it would not be rude. ”

When I arrived at Songhe Hall, the old lady had really taken a nap, and the little maid reported in, and after a while, Xinghuang came out in person to take Yulan and Qian's mother in.

Mother Qian respectfully kowtowed to the old lady, and said a car of words of gratitude, and the old lady instructed a few words such as "serve the master well", so she called Mother Su and asked her to take Mother Qian to the warehouse, kitchen and other places where she often has to deal with a circle, and get to know the mothers in charge.

Yulan was immediately grateful. Mother Su is an inseparable figure around the old lady, and the status of the servant woman is respected, even the eldest master, the second master, and the fifth master are polite when they see her. was personally taken by Su's mother to meet the mothers in charge of the house, how decent it was. It is conceivable that from now on, none of these mothers who have their own backstage managers will have the courage to embarrass their mothers.

Su's mother left with Qian's mother, Yulan accompanied the old lady to read the Buddhist scriptures for a while, the old lady asked about the Buddha worship in Biyun Temple today, although the eldest lady had ordered not to spread the word, Yulan did not dare to hide it from the old lady, so she told the matter of meeting Ye Yichen as it was.

The old lady pondered for a moment and sighed, "This King of Jin ......"

Thinking of Ye Yichen's cold eyes before leaving, Yulan faintly felt that he seemed to underestimate this young prince.

After talking for a while, Yulan saw that the old lady didn't seem to be in good spirits, so she offered to give her a massage. The old lady readily agreed.

Yulan was full of energy, and gave the old lady a massage, sweating, and then said goodbye to the old man and returned to Lujingzhai.

Out of Songhe Hall, Yulan was relaxed for a while, it seemed that the old lady did not blame herself for what happened to Mother Wang, and she was relieved.

Back in Lujingzhai, Mother Qian hadn't come back yet, so Yulan went to follow Xiaoyu to see where Mother Qian lived. It turned out that Wang's mother lived in the West Wing, and not long after Wang's mother left, Xiaoyue took someone to clean it up, and seeing that everything was cleaned up, there was nothing missing, and Yulan was also very satisfied.

After a while, Qian's mother also came back, and Yulan asked her about meeting with the housekeepers' mothers, and sure enough, as she expected, the mothers were very polite to her.

In the evening, the girl from Yiningju came to report the news, and the eldest lady shouted that she was uncomfortable as soon as she went home, and now she has asked the doctor to help her pulse, and she drank the decoction and rested in bed, so she didn't need to ask for it at night.

Throughout the afternoon, Xiaoyu ran around with Yulan, always feeling that something was wrong with Yulan. It wasn't until Qian's mother was arranged to sleep in the west wing room, and the three of them returned to Yulan's bedroom, that Xiaoyu remembered what was wrong: "Girl, where is your handkerchief?" The square handkerchief was still painted by Yulan, and Xiaoyu embroidered it for her. On a whim, Yulan asked Xiaoyu to embroider the word "Rong" on the handkerchief. The flower-like font is the handwriting of her previous life.

"Isn't that all!" Yulan reached out and touched his waist. It was empty.

Xiaoyue was shocked and said, "It can't be in the Biyun Temple, right?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all looked shocked.

If you put it on hold, let alone lose a handkerchief, it doesn't matter if you lose a piece of underwear. But in this evil old society, once a private thing like a handkerchief falls into the hands of a man and is publicized, it is easy for an innocent girl to be ruined.

Accepting this crime privately is really unbearable for our young lady.

The two big girls were already pale, but Yulan was still calm: "You let me think about it!" She hugged her head and thought carefully for a while, "When the Biyun Temple was in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, I still remember to hold it in my hand." After that, there is no impression. If you want to lose it, you may also lose it in the Mahavira Temple! ”

"It won't be so unlucky, will it?" Xiaoyue cried, Biyun Temple was occupied by a prince with seven or eight soldiers today, if those big old people were asked to pick it up, Xiaoyue couldn't imagine it.

Yulan tilted his head and thought about it, and said calmly: "This matter is big or small. Let's not scare ourselves and think about the worst...... The two of you will secretly go to Biyun Temple tomorrow and ask the monks in the Daxiong Treasure Hall if they have picked up my veil. But don't name me, you know? ”

The two nodded in understanding. The two big girls were so worried that they didn't sleep well all night, and got up early the next day, said goodbye to Yulan and went to Biyun Temple. didn't come back until noon, and when Yulan saw the dejected looks of the two people, he knew that this trip was in vain.

Sure enough, the two reported that they had asked all the monks in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and none of them had seen Yulan embroidered papa.

"If it is not in the hands of monks, will it fall into the hands of Ye Yichen, the king of Jin?" Yulan groaned.

Xiaoyue hurriedly said: "Then the slaves and maids will go to the Jin Palace, and ask to see the Jin Wangye." ”

Yulan shook his head: "Do you think the prince is so good?" Without a famous thorn, you can't even enter the palace gate. Even if you hold the famous thorn of the Yang Mansion, why does the prince want to see you as an insignificant little girl! "If you want to take the name of Yang Mansion, you must go through the eldest wife, if this matter is made known to the eldest lady, then it is really a matter of nothing. Of course, Xiaoyue understands this. "What then?"

Yulan pondered for a while: "This matter ends here, as if it never happened!" None of us should say anything. If that square veil was really picked up by the prince of Jin...... "He shouldn't be preaching it everywhere." Thinking of his cold and handsome face, he doesn't look like such a floater.

Yulan was anxious here, but the eldest lady was really sick. Xu is and Ye Yichen are in harmony, since they saw Ye Yichen in Biyun Temple, others are fine, only she is infected with wind and cold, yesterday I drank the decoction but it didn't work at all, and today I am still sick and unwilling to get up.

The sisters didn't have classes in the afternoon, so Yufei, Yuxia and Yulan visited their mother-in-law's illness according to the rules and pretended to show their concern. As an elder sister, Yufei made a request to serve the decoction in accordance with the rules of Dachu, and under normal circumstances, the mother-in-law would not agree to the daughters serving the sick.

One by one, they are pampered in silk and satin, and they can't even wait for themselves, and they still expect them to wait for the sick, so it's good not to add to the chaos!

Who knew that this time the eldest lady did not play according to the routine, she lowered her head and thought for a moment, and actually agreed. The three girls looked at each other and secretly complained together.

Coupled with the eight girls Yuxin, the four girls lined up the time, each for half a day, and took turns to wait.

When it was Yulan's turn, the eldest lady made it difficult in every way, for a while she thought that the decoction was hot, and for a while she thought that the towel was slow, Yulan pressed her heart, and always had a quiet smile on her face.

Finally survived for half a day, Yulan returned to Lu Jingzhai, lay on the bed and shouted that she was tired, and asked Xiaoyue to pinch her shoulder.

If the eldest lady tossing Yulan is a small test, then she tosses Yuxia, it is a bayonet red. Miss Yuxia was instructed by her to turn around, taking this for a while, taking that for a while, plus she was originally pampered, only when she was serving others, when did she serve others. It was clumsy, spilling the decoction for a while, and knocking over the incense burner for a while. The eldest lady got the opportunity and scolded her, Miss Yuxia really wanted to fly up and kick this old witch to death, but her arms couldn't reach her thighs, even if she was favored by her father again, she couldn't afford the reputation of "unfilial piety", so she could only swallow tears in her stomach.

When I returned to Hexiang Pavilion, I couldn't help but cry with Aunt Liu, crying and crying to the eldest master, how the eldest lady found faults, how to find faults, and how to practice herself.

The eldest lord naturally didn't like it. Knowing that Mrs. Lu Dao deliberately tortured several concubines through illness, but a "filial piety" hat was buckled there, and he couldn't say anything.

The eldest lady was originally a minor illness, but this illness lasted for more than ten days, and even the eldest girl from the Hou Mansion of Ji'an came back to see it once. Several of the maidens were tossed and exhausted. The eldest lord complained for Yuxia and went to Yiningju, but he had a quarrel with the eldest lady again, touched his nose, and went out of Yiningju angrily. The next day, Miss Yuxia fell ill and stopped going to school.

The old lady couldn't stand it anymore. After all, Jiang is old and spicy, she just let it out, if the eldest lady continues to be so "sick", then she has to ask the second wife to "manage" the housework for the time being.

The old lady's words were really a panacea, and the eldest lady immediately jumped out of bed after hearing it.
