"Why has Miss been around for so long today?" Mother Song put the meal on the table and had some questions.

"When I came out of my grandmother's place and went to see my eldest sister, I passed through the garden, and I saw that the flowers on the roadside were blooming, and after looking at it for a while, I forgot the time." Yan Meng smiled shyly, lowered his head and began to eat the prepared meal, he didn't feel it on the way, but when he saw the food in front of him, he really felt a little hungry.

"If Miss eats in the afternoon, you can go and see again, although it is autumn now, but the light is still stinging, if you don't pay attention, it's not good to hurt your face."

"Mom, I know, pay attention next time." Yan Meng's eyes were a little evasive, and he was sullenly eating the rice in the bowl without speaking.

After a while, he asked "Mom, when will Mother Du come back?" ”

Mother Song, who was standing on the side, was stunned by the question, her eyes were a little complicated, "Miss, do you think the slave is not thoughtful?" ”

Yan Meng saw that Mother Song seemed to have misunderstood something, and hurriedly explained

"No, no, no, I just... What my mother said just now was like what Du's mother said to me... Du's mother hasn't written back to me for a long time. When he looked up, tears seemed to roll in his eyes.

Yan Meng really misses Du's mother, she has been taken care of by Du's mother since she was a child, and she thought that she would be able to see Du's mother when she came back, but she didn't even see her for the last time. I just saw Aunt Jiang guarding Yan Jingshu, her eyes were red, her heart was not untouched, I remember that every time she was sick when she was a child, Du's mother worked tirelessly in front of her bed, and she was in a coma for a few days and days guarding her day and night, and she knew that Du's mother was harmed by Yan Bocheng but could not do anything. Only those who experience it feel how unbearable it is.

Mother Song sighed in her heart, when she first came to serve Yan Meng, she vaguely guessed that Mother Song was afraid that she would not come back, although she didn't know about Guan Qiao, but with the decades she had been waiting by the old lady's side, the old lady's temperament would not have instructed her to wait for Yan Meng for no reason.

On the day she came out of Rongkang Hall, the old lady's words revealed everywhere that she wanted her to take good care of Yan Meng, and she was afraid that she still had doubts about Aunt Su's matter. But since she came to this Youlan Courtyard, she only felt that Yan Meng was a girl with affection and righteousness, although she was a little timid outside, and her etiquette was not careful, but who is to blame, a good young lady, not to mention the two young ladies of the second master's family who are far away in Mobei, the degree of food and clothing alone is not comparable to the fourth lady in the house, and she is choked by the fourth lady every day. The old woman is not as favored as the eldest lady, although she occupies the name of this concubine, but she is not valued in this mansion, and it is even more difficult to deal with things.

Xu is old, thinking of this, Mother Song couldn't help but be a little moved, raised her hand and touched Yan Meng's head

"Girl, don't worry, Xu is delayed on the road, maybe you should come back in a few days." She is also old now, and she can't wait for a few years, just waiting for her grandson to have the ability, become a Zhuangzi steward, and take her out of the house to support the elderly. I'm afraid that I won't be able to go back to Rongkang Hall, so let's wait in front of Miss Five.

"Mom." Mother Song saw that Yan Meng's mouth was deflated, and her tears fell as if she didn't want money, and her heart was softer like water, and she held Yan Meng's face and gently wiped her tears.

Yan Meng used to look down on Cui Wenqian and always showed weakness by that person's side, but now he also used such means to win people's hearts, and his slightly longer eyelashes covered the ridicule in Yan Meng's eyes.

After eating, Mother Song went to the yard to beat everyone again, causing the maids to look at each other, and they couldn't figure out what happened to Mother Song today.

After Song's mother went out, only Yan Meng and Tinghe were left in the house, and Tinghe replied softly to Yan Meng that he had already said to Qingli what he should say.

But the slave didn't understand why she was looking for green pears in front of Xiangtan. Shouldn't Aunt Jiang doubt the relationship between the girl and Qingli? ”

"You are secretly looking for green pears, which is what makes Aunt Jiang suspicious." Yan Meng has been pondering Aunt Jiang and her person for the past few days, Aunt Jiang seems to be easy-going, but in fact, she is very smart, she can be said to be a very smart person, such a person, a trivial thing has to be dismantled and crushed, she has no intersection with Qingli on weekdays, and she has a relationship with Qingli at this juncture, which will definitely make her suspicious, even if she doesn't say anything now, she will definitely pay attention to the relationship between the two of her in the future, with Aunt Jiang's mind, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not see something.

Aunt Jiang is a smart person, so in her previous life, she was able to survive in the hands of the eldest lady, and Yan Jingshu could also get a good family affair because of the relationship with the old lady.

Now that she has spread out one thing to show her, how can she be suspicious? What's more, Aunt Jiang's mind will not be on her now.

Listening to Yan Meng's words, he thought back to what he had just said to Qingli, and suddenly it dawned on him, the girl has counted Aunt Jiang's thoughts...

It's just that Yan Meng didn't know that although her behavior today made Aunt Jiang feel at ease and avoided some investigation, it made Aunt Jiang remember her.

"In the afternoon, you go to the outer courtyard and wait for your brother, if he comes back, let him come to our courtyard for dinner."

"Yes."

Yan Meng went to the study again, and listened to Heze's running to tell Song's mother that Yan Meng was going to find Yan Chunan to have dinner today, and after speaking, he went back to the study and waited by her side quietly.

Song's mother responded to the lotus, thought about it a few times, raised her feet and walked out of the courtyard gate, and walked towards the big kitchen, the big kitchen is located in the east direction of Yan's mansion, and to go to the big kitchen, you must pass through the Qingyun Courtyard of the eldest lady.

"Mother Song, where are you going?" Mother Li greeted her with a smile.

"Go to the big kitchen and order some dishes for Miss Five." Mother Song pondered Mother Li's intentions, and her words were a little indifferent.

"It just so happens that the fourth lady wants to eat chestnut cake, let's go together."

Qingyun Courtyard has a small kitchen, and also hired a cook for Miss Four to eat, and Miss Four's snacks are made in the small kitchen on weekdays, and now I want to work with her... Mother Song knew that Mother Li had something to say to her, so she didn't shirk it and laughed

"One is."

Mother Li pulled some anecdotes about the countryside that her parents and Zhuangzi heard along the way, as if she was really chatting with Mother Song

"Speaking of which, the girl from the Cen family woke up like a different person, she didn't know her father, and the fifth lady also hurt her head, what is the big problem with her body?"

Here it comes!

"In the past, Mother Du waited for Miss Five, and I just went to Miss Five to wait, and my heart was plucked out of the old lady, and I was a little snub to Miss Five." Mother Song shirked it without being light, and she also understood the real reason why the Zhao family left the Yan Mansion. When I did that ugly thing that day, why didn't I expect to be looked at? Why is this cautious behavior today?

But the master's affairs are a thing that she can't comment on, thinking of Yan Meng's pitiful appearance today, she can't help but sigh in her heart, she is about the same age as her grandson, although she is not as comfortable as her grandson, and she can't stop her from scheming like this...

"Speaking of which, I didn't see Du's mother when I came back this time, do you know what's going on?" Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Li's mother changed the subject, thinking that she would ask someone else next time.

It's just that unfortunately this question is a bit insinuating for Mother Song, who knows something, Mother Song sighed in her heart, do they know about Mother Du?

"I said that I went home to save my relatives, but I was delayed on the road?" Let's wait a few more days. After speaking, he secretly observed Li's mother's expression, thinking about what to see.

Mother Li is a little puzzled that Mother Du has been in the house for many years, and she has never heard that there are relatives at home, but Mother Du is a person brought by Meng Leyu, and there is nothing strange that they don't know about many things.

Mother Song saw that there was nothing wrong with Mother Li, so she was relieved, and then Mother Li handed over the words, and the two walked towards the big kitchen.

Chunseiin

Xiangtan whispered something beside Aunt Jiang

"I just heard that he was looking for Qingli because of the fifth lady's lost hand. Qingli said that a few days ago, it seemed that Miss Wu lost her handpiece when she was wandering around in the courtyard, and asked Mr. Li if Qingli was on duty that day, so he came to ask. ”

"What handpick?" Aunt Jiang put the peeled peanuts in her hand in a small plate, and waited for Yan Jingshu to come over and eat them.

"The slave doesn't know, it seems that the fourth young master gave it to the fifth young lady."

Aunt Jiang nodded knowingly, and stopped talking, Yan Fu knew that Yan Chunan and Yan Meng's brother and sister had a good relationship, and it was expected that Yan Meng was in a hurry to find Yan Chun's hand. After thinking about it thoroughly, she no longer thought about Yan Meng's affairs, looking at Yan Jingshu, who had already gotten out of bed and walked around the yard to recover, her eyes were full of tenderness, and she thought of something that flashed a trace of pain, Shu'er's health was her greatest wish. Now that she is in her marriage, she has reached the age of saying that she is married, but the marriage of children is ordered by their parents, what can she do for Sister Shu as an aunt?

Speaking of which, the grandchildren of the Ji family also have men of appropriate age, the Ji family is the old lady's maiden family, the old lady's love for Shu'er for so many years, if it does not involve the gains and losses of the interests of the Yan Mansion, it is not false, and the old lady's mother's family can also help the Ji clan who is a little lonely, and the old lady will naturally be willing to raise Shu'er, so the Ji family is also an excellent choice.

It's just that the Ji family's lineage is a little withered this year, and she doesn't understand the affairs of the court, but she understands that a prosperous family has a prosperous foundation.

She has been waiting for Yan Bocheng for decades, and she has become his room before the entry of the Zhao family, and she has been accompanied by her youth for so many years, although she does not understand the affairs of men's officialdom, she understands that Yan Bocheng is an ambitious person. The Ji clan has long been defeated back then, although there are still very few officials in the Ke clan in terms of prestige, and their help to Yan Bocheng is also limited. These days, Zhao is not in the house, and he has come to her yard for more days, and the previous paragraph inadvertently mentioned Sister Shu's age, although he was silent on the surface, she understood his private thoughts.
