Yan Ran didn't expect Yuejuan to be there, so she stepped forward and said, "Sister Yuejuan, didn't she come back tomorrow?" Why did you come here today? Yuejuan pulled Yanran to sit on the beauty: "Don't mention it, yesterday my sister brought her eldest nephew back, it was fine, but then I asked me to marry her brother-in-law, saying that sisters marry brothers together, which is also a good story." My mother also listened, and as soon as she left, she nagged around me, saying that my sister's mother-in-law was kind and the family was still solid, and her sister was a sister-in-law, so she wouldn't suffer any loss. I'm tired of listening to it, and I'll be back after lunch today! ”

Yuejuan will be eighteen after the New Year, even if she is a maid at this age, it is time to talk about marriage. Besides, whether it was Zeng Zhixian or Mrs. Zeng, they all acquiesced to Yuejuan's own family business. Sister Yuejuan has this thought, and it is very common, but Yanran didn't expect Yuejuan to be unwilling, so she couldn't help but chuckle: "Your sister also cares about you!" ”

"What do you care about, I'll tell you quietly, don't say it, my sister and she, I've been married for four years, and I gave birth to two daughters in a row, and her mother-in-law is a little dissatisfied. I don't want to think that this is my life's business, how can I let her casually! ”

Yuejuan went to serve with Mrs. Zeng very early, and she spent less time with her father and sister. Yan Ran couldn't help sighing: "That's it, this matter is horizontal, and it will be over when I beg the eldest lady." Sister Yuejuan, since you are back, then I will go home today! ”

What is the big deal, Yuejuan nodded, and Yanran went in and said to Zeng Zhixian, Zeng Zhixian listened to Yanran to go home early, and said after a deep sigh: "It's okay for you to go back for two more days this time, if you have time, go to ......"

Zeng Zhixian's face turned red as he spoke, and he paused before saying, "I made him a pair of shoes, you send them over!" After saying this, Zeng Zhixian's face was already red and couldn't look at it! Yan Ran should be, took the shoes and quit.

After packing up his things, he went out of the back door and rushed home. As soon as he walked out of the road, he heard Zeng Zhiqing's voice behind him: "Hey, this is not Yanran, do you want to go home?" Yan Ran stopped and turned to look at Zeng Zhiqing, her brows couldn't help frowning: "Why did the prince come here, this is not the way you walked!" ”

"There are people coming and going in front of me, and I'm annoyed, so I'm going this way, and it's my family's land both horizontally and vertically. What are you holding here, how do you have a pair of shoes? I think you did it for your dad. Hey, Yanran, I have done so much for my eldest sister, and I don't see you thank me, why don't you make me a pair of shoes to wear! ”

Yan Ran felt a headache, since Xiao Huan was driven away, Yan Ran reflected on herself, she must not talk to Zeng Zhiqing more, and when she heard Zeng Zhiqing's words, she said: "Shizi, Sister Yuehua's needlework is better than mine, do you still lack a pair of shoes to wear?" It's not too early, and I have to hurry back. Shizi, you should not go this way, otherwise, if you are seen, you don't know what rumors will come out! ”

After saying that, Yanran hurriedly saluted, and quickly turned the corner, Zeng Zhiqing shook his head, this Yanran, the more he grows up, the more boring he becomes, this New Year is full of entertainment, and he has a headache, so it is better to go to Shi'an tomorrow to play. Thinking about Zeng Zhiqing, he also entered the Hou Mansion through the back door and stopped coming to the front.

Yan Ran hurriedly turned the corner, and when she saw that she had thrown off Zeng Zhiqing, she couldn't help patting her chest with her hand, the farther away from this prince in the future, the better, so as not to make trouble! Two steps ahead is his own home, Yan Ran hooked her lips and smiled, stepped forward quickly, and came to her door, Yan Ran was full of smiles on her face, and deliberately knocked on the door instead of pushing the door.

The door was opened, and Yan Ran couldn't help but feel a little strange, and before anyone entered, he heard the voice of the little maid: "Brother Xiao Cheng came early today!" "Brother Xiao Cheng, who is this? Yanran's eyebrows couldn't help frowning, the little maid had already walked to the door, and when she saw that it was Yanran, she shouted inside: "Auntie, Sister Yanran is back!" ”

Yanran handed the burden in her hand to the little maid, and asked the little maid to send it inside, and then asked, "Who is Brother Xiao Cheng?" I remember our family, but there were no such relatives! Aunt Zheng heard the maid say that her daughter was back, and hurriedly hugged her son to welcome her out, and when she heard Yanran asking, she smiled and said: "Brother Xiao Cheng, the little brother we met when we went to my aunt last time, it is a coincidence that your grandfather wanted to find a few people to repair the wall in the winter last year, and it was the two of them who were found. ”

Yan Ran took her younger brother from her mother's arms, and her face did not slow down: "Mother, if you are really good to them, you want to let them serve in the house, and they can be regarded as having a settlement, and now like this, I don't know what is going on outside!" ”

"The mouths of this world eat whole grains, and they say anything. Besides, I am innocent and alone, and I am not the only one in this family, wherever I can be like them, stealing empty space and not being limited to wherever I am, I have to do some bad things. The one who says this is the one who has a bad heart. ”

Aunt Zheng's words did not surprise Yan Ran, Yan Ran responded, and said: "Mother, although what you said is right, but these words are not good after all, wait ......"

"There's nothing to wait for, they, after saving enough money, they are going to find relatives, Brother Xiao Rong went to Yangzhou to find his uncle, Brother Xiao Cheng, he wants to go to Jiangxi, they are also children from innocent and good families, saying that even if they starve to death, they can't vote for a big family."

There is also such a saying, Yanran's eyebrows frowned slightly, thinking in her heart, Aunt Zheng San saw her daughter frowning and patted her hand: "You, since you went in to serve, your heart has become more and more delicate, which is good." But don't you believe me, a mother? ”

How can you not believe it? Yan Ran smiled again and comforted Aunt Zheng San, Aunt Zheng had already asked the little maid to go to the kitchen to make a few more dishes that Yan Ran loved to eat, and the little maid came over in response, holding the pair of shoes in her hand: "These shoes are made by my sister for the third uncle, right?" Do you want to put it in the room? ”

Yanran sighed, and hurriedly brought the shoes over: "I didn't do it, take it!" The little maid was suspicious, but she still handed over her shoes to Yanran and went to the kitchen. Aunt Zheng took the shoes and looked at them, then returned them to her daughter: "This is made by the eldest lady for her uncle, right?" Just right, let Brother Xiao Cheng take it back! ”

"Mother, this is different, I'll send it!" Aunt Zheng hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes, the eldest lady always has something to bring to her uncle!" ”

At this time, the door rang again, and then there were footsteps coming this way, Cheng Ruiru had already stepped into the door, and smiled in her mouth: "What kind of delicious ...... do you make in the middle of the sentence?" ”

Look at this posture, Cheng Ruiru is really familiar with his own family, no wonder there are these rumors, Yanran's eyebrows have wrinkled into a pimple, although he knows that his mother is because Cheng Rong and his brother are close in age, so they have a lot of pity for them, but this outsider's mouth is still difficult to block.

Aunt Zheng saw that her daughter's face was not good, so she hurriedly patted her hands: "I have my own measure!" Yan Ran patted her forehead with her hand and said, "Mother, although they are younger than their brother, they always have to be divided into inside and outside!" ”

Cheng Ruiru heard the dispute between the mother and daughter inside, and quietly poked her head in, and then spoke: "Miss Zheng, our brothers, treat our aunt as if we were our own mothers, and we have no other thoughts!" ”

"If you dare to have other thoughts, your leg has already been broken!" Yan Ran didn't know why, looking at Cheng Ruiru, she was angry, so she replied to her mother before saying to her mother: "Mother, you listen to me, you have to be measured to help, and the work at home is almost over." Also,"

Yan Ran walked to the door as she spoke, took out a handful of gold bills from her purse, and put them in Cheng Ruiru's hand: "These gold bills, there are also three or four taels, you take them to redeem, the travel expenses to Yangzhou are always enough!" ”

A small handful of gold bills, shining in the sun, Cheng Ruiru's brows were also furrowed, as soon as the handle was withdrawn, the gold bills fell to the ground, Cheng Ruiru stepped back: "I want to save the travel expenses, I will save it, I don't need you to give alms, here, I won't come again!" ”

After speaking, Cheng Ruiru waved his hand at Aunt Zheng: "My aunt treats us well, we remember, but there is always a difference between men and women, and I won't come to my aunt's house in the future!" After speaking, Cheng Ruiru didn't look at Yanran, and turned around and walked out.

Aunt Zheng hurriedly chased out, but she didn't catch up, turned around and came back and poked a finger on her daughter's forehead: "You, they live in the same yard as my uncle, and I treat them well, not just in case you accompany the young lady out of the pavilion, then the uncle will treat you well for their sake, instead of an ordinary maid." How can you not understand my heart? ”

Those gold bills were scattered all over the ground, and Yan Ran had no intention of picking them up, and when she heard her mother say this, she said: "Mother, I am now given to Miss by the old lady, Miss is my master, and I don't have to please my uncle like this." You don't know how ugly it sounds from the outside! ”

"I've heard anything worse than this, did you eat for nothing for twenty years when I was more than you?" Aunt Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to her daughter, bent down to pick up the gold bill, and when she picked up two, she felt bored, and asked the little maid to come and pick it up, so she said angrily to her daughter.

"I know that my mother has more knowledge than me, mother, I'm hungry, I'm going to eat now!" Yanran hugged Aunt Zheng's arm and began to be coquettish, although Aunt Zheng was unhappy, she still felt sorry for her daughter, and asked the kitchen to cook quickly. When Uncle Zheng came back, he couldn't help but complain about his daughter with Uncle Zheng again. Uncle Zheng only listened, and didn't say who was right or wrong.

Yanran arrived on the second day, and also went to Shi'an's side, just got out of the car, before his hand opened the door, the door opened from the inside, and it was Cheng Ruiru who opened the door, seeing Yanran standing here, Cheng Ruiru's expression couldn't help but change, and then said: "People should also be divided into inside and outside, whose eldest girl wants to go to where the man lives?" ”
