"Well, let her be." The old lady said.

Fang Jinyan hurriedly instructed the girl to bring water and wash her hands first, and then walked to the old lady's side to personally serve the old lady's vegetables. The old lady looked at the granddaughter in front of her quietly, to say that her appearance is naturally the most top-notch among all the children, but her personality is not ostentatious, and she is not like a child in an ordinary market family, and she also found that the clothes Fang Jinyan is wearing today are also the plain colors she likes, and even the dishes she sandwiches for herself are some light dishes that are beneficial to the body and suitable for the elderly to eat at night. What an attentive child! The old lady sighed.

After serving the old lady to eat, Fang Jinyan walked to the old lady's side, waited for her to wash her hands and rinse her mouth, and then sat down by herself.

"You should eat quickly, you have been too busy to eat something." The old lady's tone of voice at this time was no longer as stiff as before, but with a hint of love.

"It's okay, when I was in the village, I just finished eating in a while." After Fang Jinyan finished speaking, she didn't chew slowly like other young ladies and ladies, but picked up the bowl, took a little vegetable and buried her head in the bowl and pulled it up, and after a while, a bowl of rice had already made her eat clean, and there was not a grain of rice left. The people around him all opened their eyes wide, looking at the fourth lady of the Fang family in front of them like looking at a monster.

Fang Jinyan put down the bowl, and Mother Yang on the side hurriedly motioned to the girl who was waiting to bring tea and rinse her mouth, she was really worried that Fang Jinyan would wipe her mouth with her sleeve.

The old lady didn't mean to be angry, but felt that this child was not pretentious. It's what it looks like, after all, it's been in the village for seven years, and it's impossible for her to change everything at once.

Fang Jinyan rinsed his mouth. He wiped his mouth with a warm, wet cloth, and then smiled innocently at the old lady.

"Let grandma see it, if I don't eat quickly, there will be no food, so ...... I can't change it for a while, and I ask grandma not to blame her grandson! ”

Mother Yang frowned when she heard this. What words? It's like complaining to an old lady, even if the old lady knows that you will suffer in the country. But there's no need to pour bitter water when you come back.

Fang Jinyan seemed to see what Mother Yang meant, and suddenly got up and knelt down. Choked up and said: "Grandma, my grandson made a mistake and then woke up, and asked grandma to punish him!" ”

The old lady glanced at Mother Yang with reproach in her eyes.

"Good boy. Grandma knows you mean nothing else. Get up quickly, where is the punishment, get up, tell grandma about your interesting things in the country. ”

Fang Jinyan saw that the old lady did not mean to blame, so he got up carefully, sat down again, took out a square handkerchief from the sleeve tube and carefully placed it in front of the old lady, first looked at the old lady's face. Seeing that she looked at herself with some doubt, she looked at the veil again. Said softly: "I'm not afraid of grandma's jokes, my grandson is busy driving pigs and chopping wood in the village, and he has never learned any female workers. ”

Mother Yang hurriedly stepped forward to open the veil, only to see that the inside was really neatly stacked on the top of the head, the head is generally black bottom, because the head is generally worn by the elderly or the people in the confinement wear the cold, so the color of the old man's head is generally either cyan or black, or dark green, and then embroider some peonies, green pines, cranes more meaningful patterns, Yang mother picked up the top of Fang Jinyan embroidery and looked at only one plum blossom, the stitches are not detailed, and it is sewn by novices at a glance.

"What a ...... you young lady Where does someone send plum blossoms to the top, don't you know that plum blossoms and unlucky plums mean the same thing? Mother Yang's face suddenly sank.

Fang Jinyan seemed to be frightened by Mother Yang's words, and suddenly knelt on the ground, looked at the old lady nervously and said: "Grandson should die, grandson should die, grandson has always thought that the ancients are cloudy, plum has four virtues, the newborn Rui is the yuan, the blossom is the Heng, the knot is profitable, and the maturity is chastity." Later generations have another saying: the plum blossom five petals, is a symbol of five blessings. One is happiness, the second is luck, the third is longevity, the fourth is smooth, and the fifth is peace. Also, plum is often used by the folk as an auspicious symbol of the spring annunciation, plum blossom is one of the three friends of the cold year, since ancient times, people have praised her proud snow spirit, her lonely not with the flowers to compete for the beauty of the noble beauty. Therefore, she symbolizes the people of the high wind and bright festival, the natural roots are different, and everything is difficult to accompany. Since ancient times, the meaning of early spring, the snow in the harsh winter has been opened, but it ignores the homonym between plum blossoms and bad luck. What a damn one! ”

Along the way, Fang Jinyan didn't put in a lot of effort to read and write, Leng Yi said, Fang Ziqing himself is a learned Confucian old pedant, and he is a scholar next to the prince, if you are illiterate, you will naturally be ridiculed in the Fang family. In the village, she didn't know too many words, read too many books, so she only slept for two hours a day, and at other times all her energy was spent on making up for these things, although she was not like the ladies of the official eunuchs who had read books for several years, but she was also a lot of her former self.

How could she choose a plum blossom to embroider for no reason, naturally there is a reason for her, of course, this is also due to the accompanying Wang mother, although this Wang mother said that she took the money of the eldest lady and almost took her own life, but before this, Wang mother told herself a lot of things that others did not know, probably she was the person next to the eldest lady, and served beside the third lady and the fourth lady, and naturally knew much more than those girl slaves.

Sure enough, the old lady smiled, and even held Fang Jinyan's hand with her own hands, and said softly: "Pitiful, it's just a head, this old fool really scared her like this, don't hurry up and sit up and talk, always kneeling, and not too tired to panic, I see that your complexion is not very good, you definitely didn't eat well in the countryside, this time you came back to make up for it, how can you be in poor health at a young age?" ”

Fang Jinyan smiled secretly in his heart, but his expression was timid and cautious.

At this time, a girl came in from outside the door and said, "Old lady, old lady and big lady have come to greet you." ”

Fang Jinyan deliberately pretended to be very nervous, her hands on her knees kept trembling slightly, she often used this trick in front of her aunt, and sometimes she could really let the old sow spare herself once or twice.

The old lady naturally saw it in her eyes, and she knew in her heart that her son and daughter-in-law were very reluctant to see this child, saying what was a disaster, when she saw the fortune teller in front of the whole family pointed out that the child and her son were restrained, in order to protect her son, she had no choice, so she had to send the child to Hangzhou, thousands of miles away, and now the child is back, so well-behaved and sensible, so pitiful, so careful, I was afraid that I would commit some heinous crime if I was not careful, which really made the old lady feel pain in her eyes.

Fang Jinyan lowered his head, only to hear the old lady sigh softly and said, "Alas! Tell them that I'm not feeling well, I don't want to talk to them, and they've had a hard day, so let's go back and rest. ”

"Grandma, please let your grandson say something!"

The door was about to return, and when he heard Fang Jinyan say this, he couldn't help but stop.

The old lady was stunned, looked at Fang Jinyan, Fang Jinyan got up and bowed down and said: "Grandma, my grandson is thinking about every relative in the family all the time in the countryside, and I beg grandma to let my grandson meet his father and mother, so that my grandson can sleep sweetly tonight after seven years of wishes!" ”

This is the sorrow of the concubine, obviously he has a biological mother, but he wants to call Fang Ziqing's original partner to call his mother, thinking of this, Fang Jinyan's tone became more and more gentle, but in his heart, he instantly hated that person thousands of times!

The old lady couldn't help but sigh even more, what a kind child this child was, didn't she know that no one in the family welcomed her back? Including himself, he also had some concerns before, but this child was obviously afraid of dying, but he still didn't want to be embarrassed for himself, he didn't want to stand between his grandson and his son, and he insisted on finding another reason that people couldn't help but accept to relieve himself, such a child...... How can it not be distressing!

"Alright, just let them in." The old lady looked at Fang Jinyan and stretched out her hands, Fang Jinyan thought that she would sit down, who thought that the old lady said, "Come, Yan'er, sit next to grandma." ”

What a great honor this should be, in this family, there is no grandchild who can sit in the same position with the old lady, Fang Jinyan stretched out his hands with a grateful look and asked the old lady to lead her and sit down.

As soon as she sat down, she heard scattered footsteps outside the door, her heart was beating hard, and she was about to see the woman who had caused her to live a life worse than death, and the woman's husband, her own father, she couldn't help but be a little excited. The old lady saw that Fang Jinyan's hands were trembling a little, thinking that she was afraid, so she comforted softly: "Be good, don't be afraid, with grandma here, no one can do anything to you!" ”

Fang Jinyan looked at the old lady gratefully, this glance she was sincere, although she knew that if those people wanted to get rid of themselves, they would always find countless reasons and excuses for themselves, and the old lady would not want to protect herself at that time, but for now, she still had to find someone to rely on first.

The door curtain was opened, and Fang Jinyan saw two people walking in, a man and a woman, both about forty years old, she didn't have time to take a closer look, so she hurriedly got up, who wanted the old lady to hold her hand tightly, she couldn't get up at all. She looked at the old lady in surprise, and saw that the old lady gave her a stable look, as if to tell her that she didn't need to salute her parents, because in such an official family, the concubine can still be called a mother, and the concubine can only be a mother, or a title, but this woman in front of her, who is forty years old but still maintains better than her mother, how difficult it is to call her mother!
