"Miss. What Miss Fourth said just now is really ugly. Although the young lady is not the biological daughter of the Marquis of Changning, the old marquis is very fond of you, how dare the fourth young lady and the eldest lady treat you like this! Walking on the way back to the Wind Courtyard, Yuying couldn't help but feel angry at Shen Qiao'an's suffering in front of the Gu family and Ji Qingliu.

The path leading to Tingfuin is not walked by many people on weekdays. But Yuying said it so boldly, Shen Qiaoan still said to her, "Yuying, you have to know that I am alone in this Changning Hou Mansion, although Uncle Ji and the old Hou Ye adopted me, but if something big happens to the Changning Hou Mansion, they will only give up me, an outsider who is not a relative." ”

"Sometimes, feelings are actually the least valuable thing."

"Miss......" Yuying's face changed, and then she felt that she had said the wrong thing.

In the previous life, plus in this life, Shen Qiaoan knew that Yuying and Yuyan were loyal to her, so she never looked at these two girls as a person.

Shen Qiaoan shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Looking ahead, they had unconsciously walked outside the Tingfeng Courtyard. Shen Qiaoan patted Yuying's little hand and comforted, "Go in."

…………

When Ji Huan and the two sons came back at night, lanterns were lit under the eaves of the Changning Marquis Mansion, lighting up the way home for all those who had not yet returned home in the dark night.

In the hall, the three mothers and daughters of the Gu family, Shen Qiaoan, and the second lady Li, were already sitting in their positions.

In the dark night, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, from far to near, and then a figure dressed as a small servant ran in from outside.

The little servant ran to the middle of the hall, waved his hand to the Gu family above, and gasped for breath in his mouth, and said, "Tell the eldest lady, the master and the two sons have returned."

Gu nodded, and Jin Yue behind her approached the little guy, and then took out a few pieces of broken silver from the money bag on her body and rewarded the little guy. The little guy accepted the reward, and the expression on his face became rich. After getting Gu's orders, he slowly withdrew from the hall with his body down.

Candles were burning in the hall, and everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Gu sat up from the wooden chair with the help of Jin Yue, Gu first straightened his clothes, and then looked at several female dependents.

"Let's all take a seat, let them serve the food, and when the master and the two sons come in, the meal will be served."

After about a few minutes, Ji Huan and the two sons walked in from outside the door. When even a maid stepped forward to take their robes.

Ji Huan rolled up his sleeves, revealing a strong and thin arm, he looked at the ladies of the Changning Marquis Mansion who had been sitting in a circle, and smiled casually: "Are you all seated?" Are we back late today?"

At this time, Shen Qiao'an saw a gentle expression on Gu's face for the first time, and it seemed that his voice was a few tones lower than usual, "Master, do you feel tired today?" Let's sit down and eat first, and let Qingliu pinch it for you later. ”

"Good!" Ji Huan laughed heartily and sat on the first seat beside Gu. Ji Mengyu and Ji Huaizhou were in the third position on both sides, and they were several girls from the Changning Hou Mansion in turn.

The family rules of the Changning Marquis Mansion pay attention to the rules of eating and not sleeping and not speaking, so as soon as everyone is seated, the sound of speech in the hall disappears completely, leaving only the subtle sound that comes from time to time when eating.

After dinner, Ji Huaizhou and Ji Mengyu hurried to review the homework they had learned today, and then left first.

Gu and Ji Qingliu just came back today, and stayed in the hall with Ji Qiaohui and Shen Qiaoan. Ji Huan sat at the head of the hall, looked at Gu and Ji Qingliu first, and asked with concern: "You have been going to Jingshun Marquis Mansion these days, are you still used to it?" Are Old Madam Gu and Cong Sheng okay? ”

When Gu Shi heard this, he replied with a smile: "Everything is fine in the Marquis of Jingshun's mansion, and after walking for so many days, the old man is worried at home."

Ji Huan shook his head and said, "Although you have married to my Changning Marquis Mansion, the Marquis of Jingshun Mansion is your maiden family after all, and you have not gone back to do your filial piety in front of Old Madam Gu for so many years, so it is not bad to take this opportunity." Filial piety comes first, and filial piety must be fulfilled before talking about other things. ”

Ji Huan is a civil official, and he speaks with a lot of truths.

Gu Shi bowed his head slightly and said, "What the master said is true."

Ji Huan nodded with satisfaction, his eyes rolling back and forth in front of the three Shen Qiaoan.

In the end, Ji Huan looked at Shen Qiao'an and asked kindly, "Qiao'an has also been coming to the Marquis Mansion of Changning for a few days, but is it still the habit of living?"

"A few days ago, when you came back from the Jingshun Marquis Mansion, I was busy with official business, and I was busy dealing with the things ordered by the superiors, but I didn't have time to take care of you, Qiao An. If Joan is not satisfied with anything, just let me know. ”

Shen Qiaoan stood up and saluted Ji Huan respectfully.

"Sit down, today our family only talks about some common things, and there is no need to be so complicated." Ji Huan waved his hand at Shen Qiaoan and said.

Shen Qiao'an only looked relaxed this time, her expression on her face was peaceful, her eyes looked at Ji Huan in front of her seriously, and said lightly: "Qiao'an is fine, Uncle Ji is worried."

Ji Qingliu next to him couldn't help but feel sour when he saw Ji Huan treating Shen Qiaoan so gently. She said in her heart: "She is used to pretending to be well-behaved and sensible in front of you elders, but in fact, her heart is very bad!"

Ji Huan nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "Then everything is still suitable in this mansion?" I heard that there are only two girls in your Tingfeng courtyard now, and you can ask them to transfer a few more people for you tomorrow. There are only two people, I'm afraid it's not enough. ”

When I came back a few days ago, the appearance of Yuying and Yuyan working hard to clean the yard was still imprinted on Shen Qiao'an's head and not erased, and now Ji Huan took the initiative to say it, which was in harmony with Shen Qiaoan's intentions.

Shen Qiaoan said, "Thank you, Uncle Ji."

"Master, since there is a shortage of maids in Shen Niangzi's courtyard, then transfer a few from our courtyard, right? It just so happens that we don't need that much, so it's appropriate to give it to Shen Niangzi. As soon as Gu heard that Ji Huan was going to give Shen Qiaoan a maid, he was angry at first, hating Shen Qiaoan for not understanding his identity at this time, but he soon thought that this opportunity was just right.

"In our courtyard?" Ji Huan was puzzled.

Gu said, "Exactly." A few days ago, Jin Yue's subordinates just transferred a few girls who had just been bought back from outside the house, and I had already checked them in my free time, all of them were innocent women, and they had not been trained yet. Give it to Shen Niangzi, firstly, you don't have to worry about being used to it by others, and secondly, those girls have just entered the mansion, and they just want to cultivate a few girls who are waiting by your side, isn't it just right?"

"Joan, what do you think?" Ji Huan asked Shen Qiao'an. After all, it was Shen Qiaoan himself who wanted to choose the maid, and Ji Huan still had to ask Shen Qiaoan what he meant first.

Shen Qiao'an pondered for a moment, and just when everyone thought she wouldn't agree, Shen Qiao'an suddenly spoke, "Qiao'an thanked the eldest lady for her kindness. It just so happens that there are a few maids missing in the courtyard, so this time I will trouble the eldest lady. ”

When Gu's goal was achieved, she couldn't help but be happy for Shen Qiao'an's stupidity, but her face was still fair and just, and she said: "Those girls are in my courtyard now, if Shen Niangzi is not in a hurry, I will ask Jin Yue to bring them to you tomorrow."

Ji Qingliu glanced at Shen Qiao'an out of the corner of his eyes. She couldn't understand why everyone thought Shen Qiaoan was very good, and everyone had to like her! Ji Qiaohui is, and now even Ji Huan is too!

"Liu'er, what's wrong with you?" Ji Huan noticed a strange look in Ji Qingliu's eyes and asked.

Ji Qingliu was startled by Ji Huan's voice, her body shook violently, and she replied in hindsight: "No...... Nothing ......."

In Ji Huan's eyes, this action is a loss of everyone's rules, Ji Huan frowned, his voice was a little colder, and he accused: "My daughter's family should have the appearance of a woman's family, what do you look like when you are shocked!"

Sometimes the imbalance in the heart is born inadvertently in this way. Ji Huan, who was still kind to Shen Qiao'an and pleasant, faced Ji Qingliu at this moment, but he had another extremely stern appearance.

"Old man......"

Gu persuaded: "Qingliu is still young, why do you ...... this?"

It was okay before, but since Shen Qiaoan came to the Changning Hou Mansion, Ji Huan didn't look at Ji Qingliu anywhere. Shen Qiaoan is obviously a little younger than Ji Qingliu, but he is better than Ji Qingliu in every way.

On the other hand, Ji Qingliu, in addition to being petty, where else can he get his hands on! At this time, seeing that she is so unruly, Ji Huan only has the idea of hating iron and not steel.

Ji Huan stiffened his face and shook his head helplessly.

"Father, it's time for you to start the school tomorrow?" On the side, Ji Qiaohui, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Ji Huan paused and raised his eyes to look at the Gu family.

"Master, tomorrow is the first day of the new year, Liu'er and the others should go to the school to listen to the class."

Ji Huan suddenly remembered what happened last time and asked, "Have you arranged Qiao An's entry into the academy?"

Because of Ji Qingliu's thoughts, Gu went to the school early in the morning to give instructions. At this time, Ji Qiaohui mentioned it, but also reminded the Gu family.

Gu replied, "I already ordered it a few days ago. Since Shen Niangzi is going to enroll, let her be with Liu Er tomorrow? The two sisters are good to take care of when they are together. ”

"Is Sister Shen willing? Sister Shen is outstanding in learning, and when she arrives at the school, she will definitely surprise her master, and even I have to bow down in front of Sister Shen. Ji Qingliu said immediately.

Ji Huan didn't know what happened before, and seeing that Ji Qing Liuken took the initiative to talk to Shen Qiaoan, his face softened a little, and he said to Shen Qiaoan: "What Liu Er said is good. Qiao An just came to Yanjing, and it was good to go to the school and have a family to take care of. On weekdays, your two brothers and I are busy, and Qiaohui has her own things to do, so I think it is the most suitable to be with Qingliu. ”

"Okay." Shen Qiaoan's eyes narrowed and said.
