With a snap, Guo'er received a slap in the face, and then Qing Zhong said angrily: "It's not your turn to intervene here, although I am injured, I am also the first class in this room, it is easy to clean up your little!" ”

Seeing that Guo'er's face was immediately red and swollen, Yanran hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Guo'er and said: "Sister Qingdang, Guo'er is in a hurry, and what she said is reasonable, you are still injured, please go back!" Saying that, Yanran motioned for Hua'er to hurry up and help the green bell down. Qing Zhong angrily pressed his hand on his chest: "You don't come to be a good person, you are worse than me, I went out, and I have to look here!" ”

"I'm bad or good, everyone has their own opinions, Sister Qingdang, you better go down first, otherwise, we haven't arranged it when the old lady comes back, this is wrong, I don't dare to be it!" Yanran looked up at Qingdang, Qingdang looked at everyone in the room one by one, and saw that those who greeted him with a smile in the past all looked away, and Qingdang's heart was full of blood and blood. White-eyed wolves, wall grass, all of them are like this.

Since they can do this to themselves, they will do this to Yanran on another day, Qingdang bit her lower lip and pushed Hua'er limping back. Hua'er glanced at Yanran, saw Yanran bowing her head and talking to Guo'er, hated that she didn't recognize the situation at that time, and hurriedly went to chase Qingdang.

The little maid brought a basin of cold water for Guo'er to wash her face, Yanran wiped Guo'er's face with a hand towel, and looked at the red on her face before she said: "There are freshly cooked chickens in the kitchen, you go and ask for two shelled ones, roll them on your face, and then use some fat powder when it's almost rolling, and now it's the New Year, it's busy here, and I can't let you go down to rest!" ”

"Sister Yanran, I don't need chickens anymore, that's it!" Guo'er touched her face with her hand, and felt that the *spicy feeling had disappeared before she said to Yanran. Yanran reached out and touched her head: "You and Huazhi go down first and get your face together, this is indispensable for the two of you, but hurry up!" ”

If it's late, you can't come to kowtow to Mrs. Zeng to pay New Year's greetings, Guo'er understands, and go down with the flower branches. Yanran asked people to continue to clean up, and as soon as the ancestor worship was over, there would be old ladies in the clan who would come to pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Zeng.

Seeing that nothing happened to Yan Ran, everyone who wanted to speak, no one spoke, and continued to clean up.

Despite Yanran's instructions, the two of them didn't dare to delay longer, so they hurriedly rolled eggs over their faces, re-applied some fat powder, and saw that they couldn't see the traces of being beaten on their faces, so they came forward.

The front is more lively, there is already an old woman to report, the ancestor worship has been completed, the old lady Zeng has received the gift of the grandfather, and now she is coming here.

Yanran raised her eyes and looked around, and saw that the room had been paved with splendid scenery, so she let the two little maids guard and took someone out to greet Mrs. Zeng.

Old Mrs. Zeng was surrounded by everyone into the room, and when she saw the different furnishings in the room, she said to Ziling: "Yanran, this girl, will not lose to you in her careful heart!" Ziling smiled and said, "This is the old lady's discernment!" ”

"This is not my discernment, it is your wife's discernment, if she hadn't taken a fancy to me and wanted to honor me, I wouldn't have such a lovely girl!" The Zhao family took the concubines with a lot of makeup today, and served respectfully there, and when they heard the words of Mrs. Zeng, they hurriedly said: "The daughter-in-law thinks that it must be because Aunt Zheng has been away for so many years, and she is still worried about her mother-in-law, so she sent Yanran here!" ”

Mrs. Zeng was even more happy when she said this, and after a while, the old ladies of the same generation as Mrs. Zeng in the clan came to pay New Year's greetings, and everyone gathered together to laugh again. Then the children greeted the old ladies for the New Year, and when the old ladies left, the servants in the courtyard came forward to pay New Year's greetings. Mrs. Zeng said a few words of hard work for a year, and they each rewarded it, and they didn't even forget the share of the green bell. It's just that except for this time, Qingdang's name has not been mentioned again.

After the chaos of New Year's greetings, Mrs. Zeng moved to the front hall again, and had a New Year's dinner with everyone, Ziling served with her, and Yanran still took someone to wait in the room. It was only at this time that Yan Ran could catch her breath, and as soon as she sat down, someone came over with tea: "Sister Yan Ran, you take a sip of tea, tonight, you are afraid that you will not be able to sleep!" ”

Yanran took the tea and said thank you, this serves the old lady, the scenery is beautiful, but when it comes to the New Year's Festival, especially the New Year, the old lady Zeng can't rest, and everyone can't rest, those little girls can still take turns to take a nap, these big girls, they have to open their eyes one by one all night.

After staying up tonight, tomorrow morning Mrs. Zeng will bring her daughter-in-law into the palace to celebrate the New Year and receive a banquet in the palace, but she can take a nap at that time, but it is just a nap, and she will have to wait until the second day of junior high school to sleep normally.

Yan Ran calculated in her heart, and the little maid beside her had already said: "Sister Yan Ran, I will tell you quietly, the events of that day were indeed caused by Hua'er, and then Sister Qingdang went to talk to Sister Yuehua, and then it became like this for some reason!" ”

Yanran looked at this little girl, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart, in this family, there are not one or two people who want to fight, and what means they want to use are also targeted. This little girl didn't say it yesterday but said it today, also to wait for Mrs. Zeng to speak, right?

Yan Ran finished thinking in her heart before she said to the little girl: "I know, these things, in fact, don't mean anything at all, who doesn't know anyone?" ”

The little maid nodded again and again: "Sister Yanran, you're right, we just want to serve well, whether we can go up or not depends on the chance!" "What a person who can talk, Yan Ran sighed in her heart, and the smile on her face did not change.

After thirty, Ziling kowtowed to Mrs. Zeng on the second day of the new year and went home to get married, and Mrs. Zeng rewarded her with twenty taels of silver and two gold jewelry as a dowry. Qingdang lay down for a few days, and also thought about bringing back Mrs. Zeng's heart, so she got up on the third day of the junior high school to serve in front of Mrs. Zeng.

Old Madam Zeng treats Qingdang almost the same as usual, but only Qingdang herself can notice that Old Madam Zeng treats herself much colder than usual. But this is not something that Qingdang can control, only serving Mrs. Zeng more meticulously than before.

Because it was the end of the year, Qingdang came back to serve, and Yanran received the grace of Mrs. Zeng, and went home to live for two days, saying that she would go out at noon and come back at noon on the third day, and she could stay at home for two nights, which was also extraordinarily generous.

Yanran kowtowed to Mrs. Zeng happily, packed up her things and wanted to go back, and as soon as she had finished her burden, she saw Guo'er standing there. Yan Ran asked her a little strangely, "What are you doing standing here?" Guo'er was embarrassed at first, and then asked in a low voice, "Sister Yanran, can I go back with you?" You know, my uncle, I don't really want to go back! ”

Guo'er was also born to the Hou family, her father and mother died early, and she lived with her uncle and aunt, her uncle had no errands, and relied on her aunt's monthly money in the kitchen. Guo'er was sent in when she was less than six years old, first in the kitchen of the Hou Mansion, and then Mrs. Zeng lacked a little maid here, and she didn't know what method her aunt used to let Guo'er be picked. After picking, Guo'er's monthly money every month was no longer in her own hands, and her uncle went to the account office early every month to pay it. is talking about letting Guo'er enter Mrs. Zeng's room, borrowing debts, and naturally asking Guo'er to pay it back.

How could Yan Ran not know these things, and when she saw Guo'er like this, she touched her head: "Then you will go back with me, but there is no bed for you to sleep in at home, you, you want to squeeze in with me for one night!" Guo'er's face suddenly became happy: "I like to be with Sister Yanran." Saying that, Guo'er went to take Yanran's burden, and when Yanran saw Guo'er's joy, she pinched her face and didn't speak.

The two came out of the back door all the way to Zheng's house, Yanran was just about to step forward and knock on the door, the door opened, Zheng Laosan was sending a mother-in-law out, seeing Yanran standing there, Zheng Laosan's face suddenly rejoiced: "You took leave and came back for the New Year?" ”

Yanran called Dad, the mother-in-law had already said: "Yanran, who listened, has been promoted to the next level, this is only thirteen, and the future is unlimited, I see, you are blessed." Some women have headaches and brain fever, and they can't afford to hire a doctor, so they will ask her to take a look, worrying about whether their mother is sick, but they can't say the word sick in this year, so they called Aunt Wang and said, "Auntie, this is coming to my house?" ”

Wang Baihui had already smiled and said, "Yanran, I haven't congratulated you yet, you, you're going to be a sister!" "Be a sister? That is, his mother is happy? Yanran looked at his father, Zheng Laosan's face couldn't help but blush, after all, the son who succeeded his eldest brother has been married these days, just waiting for a happy event in April, his daughter-in-law is happy again, and his grandson is about the same age as his son, he is still a little embarrassed.

"Sister Yanran, this is a great joy. Congratulations to Uncle Zheng! Zheng Laosan rubbed his hands together: "Or Guo'er can speak, are you coming back all the way with your sister Yanran?" Come in and have a cup of tea! ”

Guo'er's face blushed before she whispered: "I also have a few days off, I have nowhere to go, I want to disturb Uncle Zheng!" Guo'er's voice was smaller than that of a mosquito, but Wang Baihui had already slapped his face: "Evil, such a well-behaved child, how can he have such an uncle and aunt." Guo'er's face became redder and redder, and Wang Baihui had already patted Guo'er's shoulder: "Don't worry, I won't say it." Lao Zheng, I'm leaving. ”

Aunt Zheng Sanjie had already walked over with the support of the little girl: "It's just a person, why is it so long?" As soon as the words fell, I saw Yanran, and her joy suddenly overflowed, and she pushed the little girl next to her: "Hurry up and tell your Aunt Zhu and let her cook a few dishes that Yanran loves to eat." Also, the quilt I just cleaned up a while ago, take it out and cover her, and there is ......"

Seeing that her mother kept instructing there, Yanran had a real sense of returning home, and called her mother: "Mother, don't be busy, I will clean it up myself!" ”
