"Qinglong soldiers, please help tell the general, the ancestral hall is ready, I will ask the people to cover the candlesticks with covers, so that when the candles are lit, the entire ancestral hall will not be filled with smoke, so that everyone will smell uncomfortable."

Yan'er first replied to the words of the Qinglong soldier, and didn't bother to pick up Miss Caiwei's words, as if she didn't exist, but when she turned her head and thought about it, she was also the personal maid of the third lady of Zhiqiu Courtyard.

And today is a good day, and I can't just ignore Cai Wei like this, there are so many maids in this ancestral hall, for fear of falling behind, saying that I gave birth to a child with the third lady, and I am becoming more and more arrogant.

"Sister Caiwei, you are the second lady's personal servant, the second lady passed the door earlier than the third lady, I naturally want to call you a sister, the general sent me to take care of the ancestral hall today, I am afraid it is also for the third lady's face, otherwise like our humble identity, although it is the personal maid of the lady, it is also a subordinate, how can there be this honor to help handle the ancestral hall sacrifice? Yan'er came to the General's Mansion later than Sister Caiwei, and many things have to be troubled by Sister Caiwei's pointers. ”

Yan'er smiled at Cai Wei with a smile, thought about it and said, "Originally, the third lady was going to come with the general, but the general sympathized with Mrs. Cai Wei just gave birth to a child, and her body was weak, so she had to let her rest until almost noon. ”

Cai Wei was slightly stunned when she heard Miss Yan'er's words, this time and again, she really seemed to be mean and stingy, making people look at the jokes, and the words were the general's favor for the third lady, and she naturally couldn't say anything.

At the same time, he did not hesitate to belittle himself, indirectly reminding himself that he was also a lowly servant, and humbly called himself a sister, this smoke, no wonder he could be the personal servant of the third lady, and he was so articulate that he couldn't talk back for a while, so he could only cough slightly to hide his embarrassment.

"Miss Yan'er, I don't think it's too early, why don't you hurry up and put the candlestick on and light it first, I think the third lady is about to arrive, Miss Caiwei, the general sent you, I also feel that you are doing things safely, and the second lady values you, so you and Miss Yan'er will do things safely together, and I will go to the wing room to tell the general."

Qinglong looked at Cai Wei who was standing on the side at a loss, completely lost the snarky questions that had just started to be aggressive, and stood there with a red face looking a little pitiful, while the Yan'er girl stood there neither humble nor arrogant, clenching the handkerchief in her hand with both hands, and looking at Cai Wei with a pair of big eyes.

"The Qinglong soldier is right, Sister Yan'er, let's light these candles together, and then put the cover on, let's stand here and talk about some things, don't miss the big thing, if the general blames it for the wrong time, it will be terrible."

Cai Wei turned her head and looked at Qinglong with grateful eyes, the general hadn't been to the Snow Willow Courtyard for a long time, and Qinglong and Chihu, as the general's personal guards, naturally wouldn't go, so although they were in the general's mansion, Cai Wei really hadn't seen Qinglong a few times.

Even if the people from the General's Mansion gather together on weekdays, they all look at them from a distance, and they are not as careful as they are standing around today.

Qinglong saw Cai Wei's eyes, and nodded to her, grinning, Yan'er, who was standing opposite, saw Qinglong like this, I don't know why, suddenly there was no excitement to win the fight just now, but there was a sour feeling in my heart, I can't tell what it feels like, anyway, it's chest tightness, and I can't breathe.

She looked at the two people standing opposite, this Qinglong, who always goes to Zhiqiu Courtyard with the general on weekdays, how can he go down the steps for Cai Wei today, he doesn't want to see that this is the second lady's personal servant, it is the ruthless second lady.

Although the heart was unpleasant, but the smoke did not show, Yun turned around lightly, took the fire fold handed over by the servant, and lit the candle in a muffled voice, the ancestral hall of the general's mansion enshrined five generations of ancestors, and three candles were placed in front of each ancestor's tablet, and there were quite a lot of unlit candles, not to mention that each candlestick had to be covered with a cover.

Yan'er thought about not missing the hour, and the hand that lit the candle unconsciously got up, lit the candle, and when the smoke dispersed, Yan'er put the copper cover on the candle cover, leaving only a little flame out, in this way, it is not like before, every time you worship your ancestors, let the whole ancestral hall choke people in panic.

Cai Wei saw that Yan'er didn't reply, and when she turned around to light the candle, she also took the fire fold handed by the inferior maid, this Yan'er, she is really careful in doing things, this candle is covered with a cover, and the smoke is really much smaller, and there is a little room on the top of the cover, and the candle will not be extinguished.

Looking at the size of this cover and this candlestick, is it possible that this cover is custom-made early in the morning? If you are yourself, I'm afraid you can't think of this way, when you used to worship your ancestors, you can stand outside the ancestral hall, you can also smell the pungent smell, but why didn't you think about it carefully, it seems that you are not as careful as Yan'er to think about it.

Cai Wei watched the candle of the candlestick gradually glow red under the lighting of the fire fold, and the slight heat wave hit her face, a little hot, she turned her head to look at the green dragon who was also lighting the candlestick, and she was in a trance.

She just wanted to put away the hand holding the fire fold, but she didn't think that the force was too strong, and knocked down a candlestick next to her, before she could react, the green dragon next to her dodged away like a gust of wind, and when she heard the exclamation of the smoke, her chaotic brain woke up, and she quickly turned around.

"Qinglong, are you alright?" Yan'er rushed up, hurriedly picked up the candlestick that Qinglong had grasped in his hand, put it back on the sacrificial platform, and leaned down again, ignoring the rules of whether men and women give or receive kisses, and grabbed Qinglong's arm.

As soon as Yan'er's hand touched it, she felt hot, she lifted the sleeves of Qinglong's white shirt stained with wax, and saw that her originally white arms were burned red by wax, so she quickly turned around and ordered her servant, "Go and bring cold water over quickly!" ”

"Let's go!" Cai Wei saw Qinglong's red arms, and raised her voice to the maid who was staying there motionless.

In order to catch the fallen candlestick, Qinglong pounced on the ground, but fortunately caught it, today is the third lady gave birth to a child, the general's mansion held a sacrificial ceremony, this candlestick fell is a big bad luck, fortunately I caught it, otherwise today's matter will be big.

"Oh, you two girls, don't make such a fuss, this injury is a piece of cake for me, it doesn't hurt at all, you do your job, I'll wash it myself, don't alarm anyone, this candlestick almost fell, if any of you dares to reveal half a word, the general will chase it down, and no one will be able to eat and walk around."

Qinglong's eyes swept the few slaves and maids who were working, and those slaves and maids hurriedly lowered their heads and whispered "yes".

Qinglong pretended to be relaxed and got up, covered his arms with his sleeves, waved his hand at Yan'er and Caiwei, who were still stunned, and walked out of the ancestral hall calmly, walking towards the back kitchen of the ear room next to the ancestral hall.

Looking at the figure of Qinglong in the distance, Cai Wei's eyes were red, Yan'er kicked Cai Wei fiercely, and couldn't say anything, so she could only hurry up and continue to light candles, Cai Wei didn't say anything, and worked silently.

The ancestral hall was quiet for a while, and the needle could be heard, and when everything was ready in the ancestral hall, Yan'er ignored Cai Wei, and walked out of the ancestral hall with her maid, Cai Wei stood behind her, holding a handkerchief tightly in her hand, and followed.

When Cai Wei came out of the ancestral hall door, she turned around and looked in the direction of the ear room, today she made such a big mistake, it was just a fun fight, and she was so careless, anything on the altar fell down, it was very unlucky.

If today's events are known by the general, it is not an exaggeration to drive him out of the general's mansion or the general's favor, and his head is not in a different place, thanks to Qinglong today, he did not fanfare to let people serve cold water, but left quietly by himself, as if none of this happened, he, Qinglong, why is he so good to himself?

Yan'er hurried to the wing of the ancestral hall, this Qinglong, she and Cai Wei quarreled, he helped her even if he did, Cai Wei was careless, knocked the candlestick to the ground, he even disregarded his own safety and rushed over to catch the candlestick, and let his arm burn like that, and did not allow people to make noise, which was obviously to protect Cai Wei.

If this matter is known by the general, he will definitely be furious and punish Cai Wei, it is best to drive her out of the general's mansion, maybe he will hate the second lady even more, and transfer his anger to the second lady.

In the past, when the second lady was favored, she targeted the third lady everywhere and bullied the third lady, and the maids of the Snow Willow Courtyard also bullied them with human power, so why not take advantage of today's incident to punish them, but unfortunately, they were disturbed by the green dragon again.

This Qinglong, who is he helping, the third lady is so good to him on weekdays, he actually eats inside and out, he has no conscience, Yan'er scolded angrily in his heart while walking, and when he was about to walk to the ancestral hall, he thought about his face and was not good-looking.

So Yan'er pulled her face with her hand, let her face relax slightly, and then grinned, changed into a smile, and stepped into the wing of the ancestral hall.

Yan'er walked into the wing room and saw that General Mo Lin and the eldest lady and the second lady were sitting on the chairs, so she blessed the three of them and said hello to the general's wife.

"Yan'er, is the ancestral hall ready, Wanqiu said that you have always been delicate and cautious, and today's affairs are entrusted to you at ease."

Mo Lin looked at the smiling Yan'er who came over, and laughed, he sat here with the eldest lady and the second lady for a long time, the atmosphere was awkward and dull, and when he saw Yan'er coming, he thought of Ye Wanqiu again, and suddenly felt a little more comfortable, counting the time, Wanqiu and the child were almost there.

"Back to the general, everything is ready in the ancestral hall, just wait for the general's wife to move to the ancestral hall, and prepare to hold a sacrificial ceremony at noon, and the Qinglong soldiers will do a final careful inspection, and they will definitely come soon." Yan'er blessed the general again, and replied to General Mo Lin in a whisper.
