"Shizi, you are different from us, you are the son of the Zeng family, the future Marquis of Dingyuan, and the hope of the Zeng family is all in you. If we can, we also hope that the children of the past will no longer suffer from what we have suffered! Rong Qi's words made Cheng Ruiru pat him on the shoulder: "What's the matter, it's only so big, so you're worried about the children in the future?" ”

Rong Qi lowered his head and smiled, Zeng Zhiqing had already poured a glass of wine for each of them: "Come on, what is rare in life is to be able to speak and drink happily." Shi An, who had not spoken, also picked up his wine glass and clinked glasses with Cheng Ruiru and others in turn, in life, there are always peaks and valleys, you don't have to be so proud at the peak, and you don't have to be sad at the trough, this is what people are!

Yanran stayed at home for two days, and returned to the Hou Mansion on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Aunt Zheng San packed a large bag and a small bag for Yanran to take back as usual, and there were some things to honor Mrs. Zeng and Zeng Zhixian.

Yanran put the burden on her back, and Aunt Zheng looked at her daughter and said, "No, let the little girl send you over, otherwise I will be tired of you, and I will feel distressed!" ”

"Mother!" Yanran screamed sweetly, and grabbed Aunt Zheng's arm: "I went inside, and I also served people, and you also asked the little girl to send me over, this is to be seen, how frivolous I am?" ”

"There are also several classes to serve people, you are a first-class maid, and it is common for you to call a little girl!" Aunt Zheng felt sorry for her daughter, and called the little maid to ask the little maid to send Yanran over, and the little maid responded to the sound and went to take the burden on Yanran's body, Yanran hurriedly stopped, just when she was pulling and pulling, the door was knocked lightly a few times, and then Cheng Ruiru's voice sounded: "Auntie, are you at home?" ”

Why is it him again? Yanran's face didn't look good at once, and Aunt Zheng patted her daughter's hand to make her face look better, and then she sighed: "I'm at home!" The little maid had stepped forward to open the door, and it was not only Cheng Ruiru standing at the door, but also Rong Qi, seeing Yanran standing in the courtyard, Cheng Ruiru's face suddenly became bad. Rong Qi bumped Cheng Ruiru with his arm, and Cheng Ruiru spoke: "Auntie, we have been taken care of by you, and in two or three months, we will leave the capital, so I came to talk to my aunt!" ”

"How fast?" Aunt Zheng's brows furrowed, and Cheng Ruiru had already said: "The travel expenses have been almost saved, so naturally I have to leave the capital!" Cheng Ruiru paused: "Although we are poor, we also have to save our own travel expenses, and we don't need other people's gold bills!" ”

This is clearly said by Yanran, Yanran's eyebrows couldn't help but rise, and Aunt Zheng hurriedly patted her daughter: "Little child, what do you know, hurry up and go in!" Yanran glared at Cheng Ruiru fiercely and left with her baggage.

When passing by Rong Qi, Rong Qi nodded and smiled at Yan Ran, and Yan Ran also bowed her head, but she didn't look at Cheng Ruiru. Cheng Ruiru glared at Yanran's back, and then turned to Aunt Zheng and said, "Auntie, you are good to us, we always remember!" ”

Aunt Zheng couldn't help sighing, and then beckoned them into the house: "You guys, don't go quietly like this, wait for me to make a few pairs of shoes for each of you, and you can wear them on the road!" Cheng Rong and the two hurriedly thanked him.

Although Yanran left home, she still wanted to hear what her mother and Cheng Rong had to say, and when she heard that her mother was going to make a few pairs of shoes for each of them, Yanran's little nose couldn't help wrinkling, and she didn't care about the surname Rong, and she shouldn't treat the person surnamed Cheng well, and she wouldn't even be able to say anything.

"Hey, I said Yanran, what are you listening to while standing in front of your house? Is it because you're afraid of breaking your mother's good deeds? "Sister-in-law Chunhua was talking and laughing with a little girl and came over, the little girl was also very affectionate with Sister-in-law Chunhua, and when she saw Yanran standing at the gate of the Zheng family, Sister-in-law Chunhua left the little girl and asked.

Yanran glared at Chunhua's sister-in-law: "What's the matter, I can't stand at the door of my house?" If you want to hear it, you can go inside! Saying that, Yanran was about to shout, but Chunhua's sister-in-law was already empty in her heart, and she hurriedly said: "I don't listen, I still have something!" He hurried away with the little guy.

Yanran took a sip of Chunhua's sister-in-law, and left in a hurry with her baggage.

Sister-in-law Chunhua walked two steps, didn't see the little girl, turned around and saw the little girl standing there looking at Yanran's back, and stepped forward to twist the little girl's ears with her hand: "Still by the old lady's side, just look at other women, think beautiful!" The little guy was twisted in his ears, and he didn't dare to call, so he touched Chunhua's wrist with his hand: "It's not like I haven't seen Yanran for a long time, this is getting better and better, she should be fourteen this year, right?" ”

"What do you think, how do I not know? You, don't think about it, Yanran is a first-class big girl next to the eldest lady, look at this posture, I'm afraid that I will follow the eldest lady out of the cabinet, and I'm afraid that I will serve my aunt at that time, and at that time, the future is something that no one else can catch up with! Don't even think about picking this flower! ”

Sister-in-law Chunhua was jealous and hateful when she said this, and as soon as her eyes rolled, she took Sister-in-law Chunhua in her arms, went to a secluded corner, and bit Sister-in-law Chunhua's ear and said, "You can't pick this flower, what are you afraid of?" ”

Sister-in-law Chunhua's body was about to soften, and she put her hand on the shoulder of the little girl: "You want to eat this piece of swan meat?" The little girl's voice was lower: "Isn't this also a lesson for the Zheng family?" My dear, I'm not doing this for you? ”

Sister-in-law Chunhua's face turned crimson, and she took the little girl's hand and said, "Don't be here, let's go back to my house to discuss it, it's just, how do you repay me?" The little girl smiled and said something in Chunhua's ear, and Chunhua's sister-in-law glanced at him: "I will tell jokes to make the old lady happy, hurry up!" ”

Yanran returned to the Hou Mansion, went back to her room to change her clothes, and put away the things that should be honored by whom, and took them to Mrs. Zeng's room first. Mrs. Zeng was talking to Mrs. Zeng San there, and when she saw Yanran coming over with something, she smiled at Mrs. Zeng San: "I know that some people resent me for hurting Yanran a little more, but they don't know that Yanran's family is careful and thoughtful, and everything is better than others." You see, the red jade has been gone for almost ten years, and I still remember that I love to eat this, and I still send it to me every year, and the taste is still the same! ”

Who is this talking about, the people in this room know it, Cui Sleeve's face couldn't help but blush, Yan Ran put the thing down before saying: "It's just a little thing, if the old lady likes it, it's our blessing!" Old Madam Zeng smiled: "Listen, this mouth is sweet." Actually, this mouth is sweeter than her, it's not nothing, it's just that some people are from the heart, and some people are not from the heart! ”

Mrs. Zeng San was busy smiling, although Yan Ran was also smiling with her, but she didn't ignore the dissatisfaction in Cui Sleeve's eyes, and now, she had to bite the bullet, otherwise, what else could she do?

Yan Ran came out of Mrs. Zeng's room, and then went to Zeng Zhixian's house, Zeng Zhixian looked at the things Yan Ran brought to himself and smiled: "My grandmother who listened to me loves to eat this very much, I thought, when will I find some for my grandmother, but I forgot that your family does this every year!" ”

"This recipe was also found in a book by the old lady when she was young and asked my grandmother to make it. It was handed down year after year. If you like it, make one more jar every year! As she spoke, she took a small plate and pulled some out.

Zeng Zhixian has also eaten a lot of pickled fruits, but it is the first time like the Zheng family, and he tasted one with a toothpick and said: "The taste is really different from others." No wonder grandmothers love it. But having said that, Zeng Zhixian only ate two and put it down, Yanran took a handkerchief and wiped Zeng Zhixian's hands, and said with a smile: "What the eldest lady wants to hear, is it my uncle?" ”

Although he personally ordered it, he could let Yanran say it, Zeng Zhixian's face still flew red, Yanran pursed his lips and smiled: "Uncle is fine, the yard has also been cleaned up." Although there is only one small guy around, that little guy is capable, and my uncle only needs to study with peace of mind! ”

"Then I'm relieved!" Zeng Zhixian said a word before he felt that it was wrong, and then asked Yanran: "Do you think that I am a little too ......" What is too much? Yanran was still waiting for Zeng Zhixian's words, and when she saw that Zeng Zhixian's face was very red, she knew that she was embarrassed, so she hurriedly said: "The old lady also said that if you have established a relationship, you are husband and wife, and it is right for a wife to feel sorry for her husband, so she has to be polite!" ”

Yes, but it's still different from passing through the door and not going through the door. Zeng Zhixian wanted to say this, but he felt that he wanted to cover up, but he just bowed his head and said nothing. Girl's feelings are always like this, Yanran looked at Zeng Zhixian like this, and couldn't help but hook her lips and smile, I don't know where the man who can make him blush when he thinks of it?

Then Yanran eliminated this thought, being a maid, all of them are masters, how can they think of anything else? It's just that this person's heart, how can he control himself?

Yuejuan lifted the curtain from the back room and looked at it, couldn't help but smile slightly, and put the curtain down again.

After the New Year, it is February, and the garden of the Hou Mansion is still lively as usual. Zeng Zhixian kept filial piety and did not go to the garden, but when the maids came and went, they began to like to walk through the garden and feel the breath of spring.

Yanran is no exception, sometimes I go to each room to deliver things, I will go to the garden to see if the begonias have bloomed, and when the peach blossoms will be able to bud. The peach and willow are green, and the garden is the most beautiful in a year, that is, this month, so it is natural to take a few more looks, so as not to see the flowers open when the flowers wither.

On this day, Yanran turned out from behind a willow tree, wanted to see how the begonias were blooming, and heard a voice behind her, Yanran turned her head and saw that Cui Sleeve came over with a mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law was still carrying a food box in her hand, thinking that it was Mrs. Zeng who told Cui Sleeve to go to the kitchen to pass some food, Yan Ran stopped and said: "Sister Cui Sleeve is good!" ”

Carrying people, Cui Sleeves always has no good face for Yan Ran, and this moment is no exception, looking at Yan Ran and saying, "You also love to walk from this garden?" This question is neither yin nor yang, Yanran nodded: "Isn't it the same for Sister Cui Sleeve?" ”

The author has something to say: Assassination or something, Yanran is really the most heroine-like one I have ever written.
