Chapter 12: The Trap

Yan Ran sighed, Guo'er saw that Yan Ran didn't care, but she was a little anxious: "Sister Yan Ran, do you think, you are alone, there are so many people in Qingdang, they want to make it bad, how can you prevent it?" I'll tell you, you have to put away your needle and thread! ”

Yanran finished embroidering the last stitch, looked at the purse with satisfaction, and then said to Guo'er: "Who said that I am just a person?" Guo'er's brows furrowed, and she said with a smile: "There are a lot of people with me, and as for those people, many of them are wall grass!" ”

Fence-sitter? Guo'er's brows furrowed, and Yanran pinched her face: "You are still young now, wait for time, you will know more things." How many of those who jump up and down to form gangs can have a good end? Although this is true, Keguo'er's brows are still very tight: "But this feeling of being calculated and stared at is really not good." Really, Sister Yanran, it's too bad. ”

Yes, it's not good, but in this life, you have met so many people and passed so many things, you will always meet such people. It's just that in such a backyard, I encounter more. The words that grandmother said to Yanran before her death sounded in her ears again, in the Hou Mansion, such a subordinate is indeed glorious, relying on the Hou Mansion, the family is also safe and sound, much richer than the small people outside. But although the tree is good for the shade, but also restrained, I have been in the Hou Mansion for a lifetime, what do I not know? Yanran, if you marry outside, life is more difficult than marrying a subordinate of the Hou Mansion, but you are also more comfortable.

"Sister Yanran!" Guo'er looked up and saw that there were suddenly tears in Yanran's eyes, and hurriedly shouted, Yanran put away her thoughts and smiled at Guo'er: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and if you come to serve the old lady, you will always meet others who are jealous." The old lady is an understanding person, and she is not stupid, she knows some things to do and some things not to do. Those actions should be passed away! ”

Guo'er couldn't help swallowing her saliva: "Sister Yanran, you are two years older than me, but I never knew these truths, I don't know when I will understand these truths?" Yanran pinched Guo'er's face: "It's nothing if you don't understand, there is always a way to be confused." I won't tell you, these purses are almost done. I'll get it to the old lady! ”

Guo'er nodded, and when she saw Yanran go out with something, her eyebrows furrowed, confused and confused, what about being smart, what is the way to be smart?

Yanran came to the upper room, Zeng Zhimin was talking to Mrs. Zeng there, the grandparents asked and answered, some words sounded funny to outsiders, but their grandparents spoke with relish. Seeing Yan Ran pursing her lips there, Zeng Zhimin blinked her eyes wide: "Sister Yan Ran, are you laughing at me?" ”

"I didn't laugh at Miss and the old lady, I just remembered that when my grandmother was still alive in the past, I accompanied her, and I couldn't help but talk like this, I couldn't help but ......" Yan Ran paused before saying to the old lady Zeng: "It's the slave who forgets her feelings for a while, and the old lady forgives her sins!" ”

"What sin is forgiven? Hongyu and I, although our identities are different, and when it comes to affection, we are similar to sisters. There are no outsiders here, what are you doing so well-behaved? Although the rules are for people to keep, it also depends on when! "Yan Ran should be, send the finished purse to Mrs. Zeng.

Zeng Zhimin had already probed to take a look, pointed to the purse and said, "Grandmother, I want this embroidered peony, it's so beautiful." Hey, there's this, and the orchid embroidery is not bad! Old Madam Zeng tapped Zeng Zhimin's forehead with her finger: "As far as you love these things the most, you have to wait until the Chinese New Year to ask for them!" ”

Zeng Zhimin's mouth pursed, and Mrs. Zeng had already called the green bell to come over and put the purse in, so that the gold and silver bills would be scattered during the New Year. The smile on Qingdang's face did not change, and a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes when she lowered her head, Yanran's grandmother just couldn't get past it.

This Yanran, outsiders keep saying that they are honest, but in front of the old lady, they never forget when they should mention their grandmother. I know that the older the elderly, the more nostalgic they are. Qingdang received the purse inside, and when she came out, she already had a smile on her face: "Old lady, just now the flowers said that the plum has bloomed, and I asked if I want to move here!" ”

"Grandmother, I'm going to see the flowers!" Zeng Zhimin jumped off the kang and shouted at Mrs. Zeng. Old Madam Zeng hurriedly asked Yanran to bring a cloak for Zeng Zhimin and wrap it up: "It's cold underground, you, you're so naughty!" ”

"It's not cold in this room, it's you, grandmother, you're old!" Zeng Zhimin said to Mrs. Zeng with a smile, Mrs. Zeng put on a leather jacket before getting up and pinching her granddaughter's nose: "Yes, you, when the little doll's ass is still three fires, let's go and see the flowers." ”

As soon as the grandfather and grandson entered the warm pavilion, they smelled a faint fragrance, not only the plum blossomed, but even the narcissus had a tendency to open, the old lady Zeng smelled the faint fragrance, and instructed the green bell: "Or put it in the warm pavilion, the day after tomorrow will be the New Year, and then move out when the New Year is keep." Don't let the dogs and cats in. ”

Qingdang should be, repeating the words of Mrs. Zeng to Hua'er, Hua'er stood there with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, listening respectfully. When Mrs. Zeng left, Hua'er hooked her lips and smiled, cats and dogs, remember that there is a big white cat, and the green bell is the best.

Everyone is busy during the New Year, Yanran is no exception, I went to Zhao's room to get something back on this day, and Ming'er will celebrate the New Year, after the New Year, there are a few days off as usual, and then you can go home and stay for two more days. Thinking about it, Yan Ran's steps were a little brisker, and she turned a corner and almost bumped into Zeng Zhiqing, Yan Ran hurriedly stopped and saluted: "Good world!" ”

Zeng Zhiqing's face was a little unsightly, and when he saw Yanran, he said: "It's Yanran, you go to your mother's room to get something!" After Yan Ran should be, she thought that Zeng Zhiqing was leaving, but Zeng Zhiqing did not leave, but asked Yan Ran quietly: "That time I ran out secretly in the clothes of a small girl, didn't you tell anyone?" ”

Zeng Zhiqing was very close, Yan Ran could feel his breath spraying on his neck, and subconsciously took a step back, only then did he frown and look up at Zeng Zhiqing: "Where did the prince say?" Am I like that? ”

Zeng Zhiqing glanced at Yanran, and saw that she was about to stick to the pillar, so he smiled: "I knew you wouldn't tell the truth, hey, Yanran, my mother asked you to serve me, why didn't you refuse?" Now that Sister Yuehua is even more powerful than my grandmother! ”

Yuehua is the eldest girl carefully selected by the Zhao family to serve Zeng Zhiqing, two years older than Zeng Zhiqing, Yanran smiled when she heard Zeng Zhiqing complain: "Madame has always praised Sister Yuehua's good service, Shizi, you can go first where you want to go, I have to send something to the old lady!" ”

Zeng Zhiqing snorted in his nose: "Yes, I knew you would say this!" After saying that, Zeng Zhiqing walked forward, Yanran couldn't help but smile and continued to move forward, just took a few steps, and met Yuehua, Yanran hurriedly stopped and called Hello, sister.

Yuehua nodded vaguely, and caught up with Zeng Zhiqing: "Shizi, you forgot to take your purse!" Zeng Zhiqing looked at Yuehua helplessly: "This purse, it's okay if you don't take it, you don't have to send it over!" ”

Yuehua had already given the purse to Zeng Zhiqing and hung it on his waist, and said with a smile: "In this big year, it is difficult to ensure that the prince of the world wants to reward people, I have some broken silver in the purse, so that the prince of the world can reward people." What did Fang Cai Shizi and Yanran say? Yanran is getting bigger and bigger, and she is getting more and more provocative! ”

This tone made Zeng Zhiqing a little uncomfortable, and he glanced at Yuehua: "But just ask her what she took from my mother's room for my grandmother?" When you see these people serving grandmothers, you have to be polite, this is what you told me, sister! ”

"It's just a vain question, son, go out quickly, don't let the people on your in-laws' side wait!" Yuehua understands why she was picked out by the Zhao family to serve Zeng Zhiqing, she can't be an aunt in Tongfang, and it's good to be a person who can be trusted by the world. Shizi, but the future Hou Ye, the daughter-in-law of the chief steward of the Hou Mansion, is much more energetic than the aunts in this mansion.

And Yanran is a potential competitor in Yuehua's heart, seeing the competitor talking to Zeng Zhiqing, Yuehua of course wants to ask more.

Sending Zeng Zhiqing away with a smile, Yuehua turned around, and that day Qingdang came to talk to himself, the meaning of the words was to make Yanran suffer a little, but he didn't know if the plan was thorough. Yuehua bit her lower lip, and as soon as she returned to the yard, a little maid came over: "Sister Yuehua, Sister Qingdang is looking for you!" ”

"Is this the gust of wind that has blown you here?" Yuehua saw that Zeng Zhiqing was not there, there was nothing in this house, so she went straight to her room, Qingdang saw Yuehua coming in, hurriedly closed the door, and said to Yuehua: "Yuehua, we are usually fine, you must save me today!" ”

"What's wrong with you? You are by the old lady's side, how decent is that, why do you want me to save you? Yuehua pulled the bell and sat down. Qingdang has already said: "To make a long story short, Yuehua, the son of the world, but there are also narcissus plums, they have to be opened!" ”

"Of course there is, could it be that you broke the narcissus and plum that the prince gave to the old lady?" Yuehua's face turned white all of a sudden. There were tears in Qingdang's eyes immediately: "You also know, that big white cat likes to play with me, now the old lady goes out, I will steal a vacancy, who knows that the big white cat came to look for me, I played with it for a while, I wanted to enter the house, who knew that the big white cat ran into the warm pavilion and broke a pot of flowers!" ”

"Who's in there right now?" Yuehua hurriedly held Qingdang's hand and asked. She calmed down and said in a gentle tone: "At this time, a little girl named Hua'er is tightly guarding the warm pavilion, waiting for me to go back." Heck, I won't tell you anything else, give me the flowers first! ”

"It's not difficult to give you flowers, but Qingdang, don't you want to look good? It's better to push it on her! Yuehua only thought it was a good idea for a moment, and slowly said it to Qingdang!
