Chapter 6: Secrets

Yan Ran heard this voice a little familiar, and when she looked back, she saw that it was two little guys dressed up, so she blocked the door with her hand, these two little guys dressed up had already run over, and one of the little guys covered her face with her hands, Yan Ran felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but bluff after a careful look: "Why is the prince dressed like this?" ”

Now that his whereabouts have been discovered, Zeng Zhiqing also put down his hand and said to Yanran: "Yanran, can't you tell your grandmother that I will go out quietly!" ”

"The prince wants to go out for a walk, take someone through the gate well, dress up like this and then quietly walk from here, if you want to go out, there is a mistake, that's not good!" Yanran's words made the little guy next to Zeng Zhiqing immediately have a bitter face: "Shizi, the little one just said, you can't go out like this, you just said it's okay, look at it now, even the girl Yanran said this, and then the little one will be beaten again!" ”

"You're just cowardly, what are you afraid of?" Zeng Zhiqing said nonchalantly, and said to Yanran again: "Yanran, let me tell you, there is a reason for this, and besides, I am not fooling around when I go out, just this time, don't tell your grandmother!" Zeng Zhiqing raised a finger as he spoke.

Seeing that he looked different from usual, Yanran only smiled lightly, and seeing that Yanran only smiled and didn't speak, Zeng Zhiqing smiled again: "Yanran, otherwise I'll tell you why I want to dress up like this and go outside!" While the three of them were talking, they had already turned into the back garden of the Hou Mansion, and there was already another little guy waiting there, still holding Zeng Zhiqing's clothes in his hand, and when he saw Zeng Zhiqing coming in, he stomped his feet: "Oh, my lord, you are finally back, I am talking about going to the small half an hour, this is half an hour, and I haven't seen you turn back, then I'm the guy who eats, do you want it!" ”

Zeng Zhiqing didn't take the shirt in the little girl's hand, but reached out to pull Yanran's sleeve: "Good sister, good Yanran, just help me this time, really, really this time!" The people who can serve by Zeng Zhiqing's side are all clever people, and the little guy understood why at a glance, so he simply knelt down and said to Yanran: "Good girl, the prince really didn't lie to you, just this time, it will be too many times, and we don't dare to do it?" ”

This little guy knelt down for Yan Ran, Yan Ran was startled, and hurriedly took a step back: "Okay, I won't tell the old lady, but you are not allowed to indulge the son of the world to do such a thing in the future, there must be a case, who will pay!" ”

Seeing that Yanran agreed, Zeng Zhiqing went to untie the clothes outside, and was about to change the clothes, but Yanran didn't expect Zeng Zhiqing to change his clothes in front of him, and hurriedly shouted to him: "You will change it when I leave!" Yan Ran's face couldn't help but blush as she spoke.

Zeng Zhiqing also stopped his hand and said with a smile: "I forgot, Yanran, you go quickly!" Yan Ran turned the rockery and walked forward.

While serving Zeng Zhiqing to put on his clothes, the little girl couldn't help it: "Shizi, I won't dare to say anything next time." Fortunately, this time it was Yanran who met her, if she met other mothers-in-law, or Sister Ziling, then a few of them would be scared! ”

"You're all so cowardly, and I'm not out there to do anything bad, I'm just thinking it's funny!" Zeng Zhiqing didn't take the words of the little guys to heart at all, after all, going out with the clothes of the little guys is different from going out surrounded by the front and back, this feeling is very strange.

The two little guys glanced at each other and decided that it was better to persuade slowly.

Yan Ran didn't know about these lip lawsuits they were fighting behind their backs, and they were funny while walking, although the prince had a high status, he still had a child's heart, and he didn't know that there were many people outside who envied the days in the Hou Mansion.

"What are you smiling at, girl?" Hearing Ziling's voice, Yan Ran hurriedly raised her head: "Hello sister, I just think people are really the most interesting!" ”

"I can still say such a thing, the old lady said let people come and see if you are back, the purse you made for her before, she likes it very much. Let you make another one, she is going to take it and send it to the third old lady! ”

Yan Ran responded, opened the door and invited Ziling into the house, opened the package brought from home, and took out the jujube cake made by her mother from inside: "Sister Ziling, you can send someone to take a look, why don't you come here in person." Just right, eat a piece of jujube cake and go up again! ”

Ziling took the jujube cake but didn't put it in her mouth: "You have been here for more than a year, and for more than a year, I can see that you are a safe one, and I am not good to serve by the old lady's side all the time." ”

Yan Ran, who was pouring tea, almost poured water into her hands, and only then made up her mind before saying, "Sister, what are you talking about?" ”

"My daughter's family is old, and she always wants to get married, the old lady promised my mother, let me hire outside, my mother also found some people this year, and it almost has to be settled, and when the marriage is decided, at most I can serve by the old lady's side for a year before I get married, I vacated the nest, I also know, many people are red-eyed, but I'm good, the old lady, I always think you are a safe person!"

Ziling is also seventeen years old this year, at this age, if it weren't for the maid, she would have been married. Yanran sat down next to Ziling and said, "Sister's words are heartfelt, and I can't shirk it, but Sister Qingdang?" ”

"I don't understand this girl yet, she loves to be in the limelight, but she can't remember that our limelight is given by the old lady. When I'm gone, don't worry about her, as long as the old lady treats you well, then anyone will be hot to you! ”

"If that's the case, I don't know how many people will be jealous!" Yanran's words made Ziling laugh and pinch her face: "People are not jealous and mediocre, as long as they remember to serve their masters well, then let them go!" ”

Yan Ran nodded, the two said a few more words, and Yan Ran changed her clothes and followed Ziling to the top.

Seeing Mrs. Zeng, sure enough, Mrs. Zeng asked Yanran to make a purse like a few days ago, and Yanran agreed and said: "I don't know what kind of flowers the third old lady likes. It's not good to be heavy! ”

"What is this, you will embroider a plum blossom!" Yanran was just about to agree, but Mrs. Zeng shook her head again: "It's not good, let's embroider bamboo!" ”

"In this case, it's better to embroider the three friends of the year!" Ziling came over and covered Mrs. Zeng's legs with a thin quilt, and said with a smile. Mrs. Zeng couldn't help but say: "Sure enough, you think well, just embroider the three friends of the year!" Ziling, you have been by my side for more than ten years, and I am reluctant to marry you, but how can this girl's family not marry? ”

"Look at what the old lady said, the slave and maid are terrified, although I am better, Yanran will only be better than me!" Qingdang was coming in with a sun-dried quilt, and when he heard Ziling's words, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and then he stepped forward to spread the quilt, and said with a smile: "Sister Ziling is like this, it's really hard to find with a lantern!" ”

The maids' eyebrows and eyes lawsuits, how can Mrs. Zeng not know, as long as they don't fight and you can't serve yourself well, Mrs. Zeng will go with them, at this time, she followed Qingdang's words and said with a smile: "Ziling is really good, Yanran, you have to learn more from your sister Ziling!" ”

Yan Ran smiled, and Qingdang's expression changed slightly, but she didn't say anything.

After Yan Ran chose the pattern, she also retired so that she could draw the pattern to make a purse. As soon as I got up, I heard the maid outside the door say, "The prince came to greet the old lady!" Then the door curtain was lifted, Zeng Zhiqing walked in with a smile, he had already changed his clothes at this time, because he was young and had not tied his crown, he only used a hosta to hold his hair, and wore a jade-colored eight-group brocade robe, which became more and more red lips and white teeth, and the color was like a spring flower.

Zeng Zhiqing stepped forward to salute Mrs. Zeng, and Mrs. Zeng had already taken his hand and asked long and short, what have you done today, and have you been naughty in the study? Zeng Zhiqing answered them one by one, and when he said that he was in the study, Zeng Zhiqing couldn't help but glance at Yanran and said: "I'm not naughty, Mr. Jin still praises me, and says that my article is already very good!" ”

"That's good, although you don't go to the exam to raise people to become scholars, but you also have to set an example for your younger brothers, if your younger brothers are like your second uncle, and they are admitted to be Jinshi and go out to be officials, I, ah, can also close my eyes!" Old Madam Zeng said with satisfaction, and Yanran couldn't help but think of Zeng Zhiqing who had just run out to play in a little girl's clothes, and couldn't help but smile quietly.

Zeng Zhiqing happened to see it, and quietly waved at Yanran, this action Mrs. Zeng didn't see, Qingdang could see it, and her eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, there must be something strange in the middle!

Ziling's family affairs were quickly decided, he was a guy from a fat powder shop, and he also had an income of thirty or forty taels of silver a year, and the young man was nineteen this year, which can be regarded as young and promising. The marriage must be under the rules, according to the rules of the Hou Mansion, Ziling will go to Mrs. Zeng less often, now everyone wants Ziling's nest, you know, the first-class maid in front of Mrs. Zeng, in addition to decent, there is a tael of silver in a month!

"Sister Yanran, these people are so funny, don't you know that the old lady values you the most?" Hua'er has been very familiar with Yanran for more than a year, although Yanran joked with them, but rarely told them about those things, and when she heard Hua'er's flattering words, she smiled: "These things, it's always the old lady who is in charge, what can we say?" ”

"Sure enough, Sister Yanran is different from others!" didn't come out of Yanran's words, Hua'er had to turn her mouth, and when she saw Yanran flying needles and threads, she said: "This pine, plum and bamboo embroidery is really good, better than the painting hanging in Aunt Wu's room!" ”

"Sister Xiaochan is in the old aunt's house, and she is also very important!" Yanran bit off the thread, smiled and said to Hua'er, Hua'er wanted to say, what is good in the old aunt's room, but after thinking about it, she said: "The old aunt is also blessed, I heard that the second master wants to ask for a seal for the old aunt!" ”
