Chapter 8 Returning Home

After a while, Tinghe led Song's mother into the wing.

"Mother Song has been waiting for a long time." Yan Meng looked at the woman in front of her with gray pants and blue shirt hunched over her waist with a light smile, although she was hunched over, she was not low, enough to glimpse the slender body, this woman was about forty years old, her temples were slightly white, her face was slightly cold, her cuffs were pressed to her wrists, and a pair of neatly trimmed hands leaked out, it could be seen that she was a sharp person, the old lady had been waiting for a long time, and she was thoughtful in etiquette, which could not be faulted.

"Fifth Miss is polite, this is all the duty of a slave." Mother Song replied respectfully, not because Yan Meng was young.

"My mother has been in the house for many years, she is my elder, and today I am lazy and neglect my mother." Speaking of this, Yan Meng couldn't help lowering his head, a little ashamed.

Mother Song looked a little nervous at Shangyan Meng, although her face was cold, she had a smile on her face at this time, revealing a somewhat reassuring look, "The fifth lady is just right, she should rest more, and the old lady also knows that the young lady needs to be taken care of at this time, so she sent a slave to see what the young lady needs, just like the order." ”

"I'm tired of Mother Song..."Yan Meng lowered his head and whispered.

At this time, Yuchen came in with a lunch box, "Girl, the meal is hot." ”

"The slave waits for the fifth lady to eat." Song's mother sandwiched a chopsticks and a side dish in front of Yan Meng.

"Thank you, Mom" Yan Meng was a little flustered and stuffed the dish into his mouth.

Mother Song was stunned, "It's the slave who is abrupt, I thought this was the old lady's rule, so that the fifth lady was not used to..."

"Mom's words... You're good like that.. Wrong.. It's..."Yan Meng was anxious and didn't know what to say, so he looked at Tinghe for help.

Tinghe was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes and whispered, "Mom, forgive me, the girl is young and doesn't specialize in these." ”

Mother Song thought a few times in her heart, "Yes." "No more words.

After Yan Meng had eaten, Mother Song led the way to listen to the lotus rain and dust to hand over the things in this courtyard, Yan Meng's Youlan Courtyard is just two big girls and four second-class maids, things are not complicated, and the maids are also picked by Du's mother when she was young, and her mind is not so lively. Although it is not a matter of pride, it is guaranteed that there will be no mistakes on weekdays. It's because Song's mother is very easy to get started, but she sorted out the big and small affairs in the yard in half a day.

However, the little maids are young in the end, after Du's mother left, it is understandable that things are a little unstable, Yan Meng woke up and felt that she couldn't be too aggressive, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, she was just a child who couldn't be a director, she also knew that Du's mother couldn't come back in a short time, and someone would arrange a housekeeper for her, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, so she had to turn a blind eye to some things. Mother Song came to beat a few times, which can be regarded as calming the minds of the little maids in Youlan Courtyard, and also making listening to the lotus rain a lot more leisurely.

The days passed in a flash, and everything in Yanfu was running as usual, calm and monotonous.

"Girl, when the eldest lady returns home today, it is better to wear this peach, and look more festive." Yuan Huan waited for Yan Meng to freshen up, took out a light pink dress from the closet, and handed it to Yan Meng. Yuan Huan is the newly promoted big girl who has been promoted by Song's mother to manage the yard in the past few days, as a rule, Miss Yan should be equipped with a steward, four big girls, four second-class maids, and a few small maids, but Yan Meng's yard is small, and there are usually few things, and Du's mother does not pay attention to so many rows of noodles, but she only thinks that what is important to being a slave is dedication rather than quantity, and it is enough to have two big maids around Yan Meng who listen to Lotus Yuchen by her side.

Although Song's mother did not mention the number of maids after she took charge, she said that she saw that Yuan Huan was clever, and she mentioned the big maid within two days, and now Yuan Huan is waiting for Yan Meng nearby.

Yan Meng was a little stunned when she saw Yuan Huan take the initiative to bring the clothes over and wait for her to wear, since she woke up, she has rarely been wearing such a pink color, besides, this dress... But he didn't show anything, and let Yuan Huan put it on for himself.

Yuan Huan saw that Yan Meng didn't hate it, and he was happy in his heart, and he only felt that he had guessed the master's mind, and he didn't feel a little fluttering, "The girl is white-skinned, and she rarely wears these colors on weekdays, but the slave thinks that the girl looks good in pink!" ”

When he heard that he brought breakfast, he was a little stunned when he saw the pink clothes on Yan Meng's body, but when he saw Yan Meng's expression, and Yuan Huanxi on the side was colorful, he understood that he was seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

"Yuan Huan, you go to the small kitchen and bring the girl's medicine." Listen to Yuan Huan who was standing on the side of the lotus.

"The girl's breakfast is still useless, and I still have to serve the girl here!" Yuan Huan finally became the big girl next to the master, and now he has taken the master's "favor", so he naturally wants to behave well beside him. After that, he put a bowl of porridge in front of Yan Meng.

"The girl has to take medicine after eating, so it's better not to delay." Listen to the lotus is not salty or light.

Tinghe is the big girl in this courtyard, although she is gentle on weekdays, no one will contradict her, today Yuan Huan bumped into her and was a little weak-hearted, so she was choked, so she had to bow and reluctantly walked out.

Looking at Yuan Huan who was far away, Tinghe remembered something and seemed to whisper in Yan Meng's ear

"A few days ago, Mother Song's only grandson was arranged to be with the eldest young master, and it was Ma Pozi's man who asked someone to say it." Mother Song is a widow after all in front of Mrs. Yan, and now there is only one grandson left in the family, and no one takes care of her in the front yard.

"No wonder." Song's mother is just this grandson, and she is inevitably running around for her children and grandchildren in the inner courtyard. The eldest young master Yan Chuyi, as the eldest son of Yan Fuyan, has an unlimited future, and with such a master, Song's mother and grandson are still worried about the day when they will not come out? Ma Pozi helped Mother Song with such a big favor, and the courtesies were exchanged, so Mother Song naturally wanted to let Ma Pozi's daughter live comfortably in her yard. Originally, although Mrs. Yan assigned Yuan Huan to pay attention to her actions, she had no reason to interfere with the scheduling of the maids in Yan Meng's courtyard, but now Mother Song promoted Yuan Huan to be a big maid as soon as she came, which not only made it convenient to help the old lady monitor her, but also gave Mrs. Ma a favor, in the end, the old man in the house, and he did things beautifully.

"Does the girl want to change her clothes?" Tinghe opened his mouth with some hesitation.

"No need." It's just a piece of clothing, and after a lifetime, the reason for it can't be cared about by Yan Meng.

After a while, Yuan Huan entered the house with tears in his eyes, "Girl...", her eyes were slightly red, and she could see that she was angry.

"Asked you to serve the medicine, why did you come back like this?" Hearing He, seeing Yuan Huan returning empty-handed, his face crying and frowning.

"The slave maid went to serve the medicine to the girl, and when she saw that the medicine was not yet decocted, she wanted to be busy with Yuchen decoction, but Yuchen not only did not accept the kindness of the slave and maid, but also lost her temper with the slave and maid..."

Before Yuan Huan could finish speaking, the sound of rain and dust came

"The front foot is out of the kitchen, and the back foot comes to sue, what can you do, you can sue." As soon as Yuchen came in with the medicine, he saw Yuan Huan's appearance of sobbing and suspension, and he suddenly became angry.

"I'm kind enough to help you, you... You..."Yuan Huan stared at Yuchen with red eyes, his lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't say a word

"Your kindness is to make the girl unable to take medicine?" Yuchen rolled his eyes and pushed back, and the choked Yuan Huan was speechless.

"What's going on?" Yan Meng asked out loud.

Yuchen glanced at Yuan Huan, who was standing aside, "This girl rushed to come to the girl to invite credit, and the unboiled medicine was ready to be served, I didn't want to burn my hands, and I almost spilled the medicine jar, and I don't know what An's heart is." Originally, Yuchen was dissatisfied with Yuan Huan, Yuan Huan was so lazy when he was a second-class maid, he often couldn't find anyone, and he didn't know how to get into the eyes of Song's mother and promoted the big girl.

"You.. You have wronged people, I want the girl to drink the medicine earlier! Yuchen's mouth was sharp, and Yuan Huan couldn't help but raise his voice.

"What is it like to be noisy in front of a girl!" Seeing that Ting Heleng lowered his face, both of them closed their mouths.

"Mother Song went to the front hall to help today, there are not enough people, you are still adding to the chaos, the two of them have an improper division of labor, causing the master to displease, punish the yard for half a month, go down." Tinghe took the medicine in Yuchen's hand and drove the two out.

"Yes." The rain and dust are nothing, she is not used to seeing Yuan Huan being lazy on weekdays and preferring to sell in front of the girl, even if she is punished together, she feels happy.

The two came out of the house, Yuan Huan's eyes stared at Yuchen, she said that she couldn't do it, she only hoped that her eyes could turn into a knife to rip off Yuchen to vent her anger.

"Hmph." Yuchen snorted coldly and went to the small kitchen, no longer looking at Yuan Huan.

In the house, Tinghe watched Yan Meng finish eating, and opened his mouth hesitantly, "Girl, this Yuan Huan..."

"Mother Song came back and let me know." Mother Song is an old man in the house, and she has a set of means to take care of the yard, but a few days have calmed down the heart that was originally a little fluctuating in the yard. It's not your own person, but it's useful.

"Yes." Mother Song promoted Yuan Huan because she thought of Mrs. Ma's favor, Yuan Huan made a mistake herself, and Mother Song knew that she would mention it. Just the look in Yuan Huan's eyes when he left, Yan Meng put down the bowl in his hand

"Remind Yuchen later, don't always talk to others quickly, and don't notice the loss."

"Yes."

Just after noon, the little maid in the old lady's room rumored that the eldest lady had entered the house, and this time the son had arrived at Rongkang Hall, so Yan Meng also passed.

Today, when the eldest lady returned home, outsiders only knew that the eldest lady went out of the house to pray for blessings, so as to save face. However, Yan Meng's body has not healed, and the autumn is slightly cool, Yan Meng doesn't need to greet her, but the eldest lady has to be attended by everyone when she enters the mansion.

When Yan Meng entered the Rongkang Hall, most of the people in the big room had already arrived, and what came into view was what the old lady Yan was talking to and the Zhao family, today the Zhao family was wearing a dark shirt, the makeup was simple, but it was not rude, the Zhao family hung his head, did not speak, and listened to the old lady Yan's preaching quietly. However, Mrs. Yan also took care of Zhao's face, her words were not harsh, and her face was also kind.

Over there, Aunt Jiang and Yan Jingshu also said a few words from time to time, like a harmonious scene, if it weren't for Yan Meng's heavy life to know everyone's thoughts, I really thought that everyone in this Yan Mansion got along as harmoniously as they were.

"Say hello to my grandmother, my grandmother is well." Yan Meng lowered his head and said timidly.

Old Madam Yan waved her hand and let Yan Meng sit down.

"You can't get on the table."

After Yan Meng sat down, a light mockery floated in his ears. Looking at the voice, the man moved to the side in disgust.

"Fourth sister, long time no see." Yan Meng smiled and looked at the man.
