At this moment, a cold voice sounded: "What's the fuss?" ”

Bai Zhi immediately withdrew the hand that was holding Lin Miao, and blessed herself: "The slave is going to receive the punishment."

Lin Miao was stunned and turned around, only to see everyone surrounding a woman wearing a dark red skirt, wearing a black silver thread embroidered moire forehead, black hair, ruddy complexion, and tight and full skin.

This is Grandpa Chen's wife?

looks like no more than fifty at most, doesn't it mean that they are childhood sweethearts?

Why is only Grandpa Chen in a hurry, with white hair and an old face?

When Lin Miao was looking at Old Lady Chen's wife, Chen Lin, she was also looking at Lin Miao.

His eyes fell on Lin Miao's face first, and he nodded slightly with satisfaction, his small appearance was okay, and he was slightly dressed in the top ten in Beijing.

The word dress flashed in her mind, and the disgust in her eyes increased a little, and the flower-like girl didn't know how to dress up, and she didn't even have a hairpin on her head.

Bad review!

Fortunately, she came, and from tomorrow onwards, she had to dress up.

There is also a temperament, which must be changed immediately, but when she jumps in a quarter of an hour, it will be more time for the Jingshi to wait for people in the future, how can it be done like this?

Lin Miao greeted Chen Lin's gaze and bowed like a decent blessed body, "I have seen the old lady, I wish the old lady good health and all the best." ”

Chen Lin snorted, and sat down on the top with the help of the servant.

Lin Miao followed her gaze, and saw that after she sat down, her buttocks only occupied one-third of the chair, her hands were folded, her body was straight, and she was sitting upright.

Isn't that tiring? Lin Miao shook her head and chose a chair to sit down.

Neither of them spoke for a moment.

Chen Lin was so surprised, she hadn't even let her sit yet, why did she sit down?

And sit like this, that little girl will sit like this?

Lin Miao sat casually, but it wasn't rude, it was just not so upright.

Chen Lin was dissatisfied with Lin Miao's sitting posture, his lips were open, and he was about to scold, but he persuaded himself again: The children brought by the old man have no rules like this, she slowly re-teaches, and she has a sense of accomplishment after teaching well, just like Sheng'er, after being taught by her, it is more than a hundred times better.

The maid served tea, with a standard smile and skillful techniques, and said softly after putting it down: "Miss, please use tea." ”

Lin Miao smiled slightly: "Thank you." As he spoke, he picked up the tea and opened the lid and smelled it, the tea fragrance was refreshing, and it was undoubtedly a new autumn tea.

After taking a sip, he exclaimed: "The Longjing tea in Yuhang County is worthy of being the best in the world, it is so fragrant!" ”

Chen Lin didn't expect that the little girl had such an appreciation for tea, even the old man of her family might not be able to taste the tea there, so her dislike for Lin Miao was directly less.

He glanced at Lin Miao with a smile, proudly picked up the tea, and took a sip.

Yes, it's fragrant, and it's worth the price.

Lin Miao put down the tea and said regretfully: "Tea is good tea, but the method of making tea is average, and the fragrance of tea is greatly reduced." ”

These words made Chen Lin's face look a little ugly, but she had just made this tea herself, and it was just to make this tea herself, so she delayed for a while.

Now she is actually disgusted, she is a well-known tea maker in Beijing, does this stinky girl know how to taste tea?

snorted, and said coldly: "What do you mean by this that you can make tea that is better than that of the old body and the old maid?" ”

"Of course, I'll show you a chance." Lin Miao smiled.

Chen Lin was not convinced, "Don't wait for any chance, come now," he said and looked at the servant woman next to her, "Ah Lai, take her down to soak." ”

Making tea was trivial to Lin Miao, and when she heard this, she immediately stood up, "Is the tea set ready?" ”

The servant replied, "Miss Hui's words, they are all there." ”

"Okay, let's go."

Lin Miao was just about to leave, Chen Lin raised his hand, "Remove the tea set and brew it in the hall, and the old body wants to watch." ”

The servant woman named Ah Lai immediately nodded: "Yes, the slave and maid will go now." ”

Lin Miao was noncommittal, and when she saw Ah Lai leaving, she turned around and sat back on the chair.

After a few moments, one should be ready.

Lin Miao asked the maid to bring hot water to clean her hands, and then carefully checked the tea set, then scalded the kettle, selected tea, controlled the water temperature, brewed, and divided the tea...

It is done smoothly and freely, as if it has been rehearsed thousands of times.

Ah Lai brought the tea to Chen Lin's face, "Old lady, please use tea." ”

Chen Lin's eyes fell on the tea, her shocked mood had not calmed down, how could she not see that this little girl's technique of making tea was above her?

The operation just now is too amazing, even the Queen Mother in the palace and Aunt Biluo can't compare.

"How do you know how to make tea? Who taught you yours? Chen Lin didn't drink the tea, so he asked first.

Lin Miao: "My grandfather taught me, you should also know him, his name is Lin Shikang." ”

"Shikang is back? Does he still know to come back? This one has no conscience. Chen Lin's face was not good.

Belch?

This Grandma Chen won't be a childhood sweetheart with Grandpa, right?

Lin Miao inexplicably made up the scene of a few little boys teasing a serious little girl, and couldn't help but feel a trace of joy in her heart.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Lin frowned.

"Huh? Am I laughing? Lin Miao wanted to hold back her laughter, but she didn't, and her smile became more obvious.

When someone else is blind? The maids bowed their heads and slandered in their hearts.

At this moment, Mrs. Chen's ancestor and grandson and Chen Zhu came.

Old Lady Chen walked straight up, sat down next to Chen Lin, and asked, "Why did you come back suddenly?" ”

"You haven't been back to Beijing for two years, do you remember?" Chen Lin complained.

Old Lady Chen's face was sneering, "Isn't this busy?" ”

Chen Lin snorted, his eyes moved to Chen Sheng and the others, and the three of them hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Please grandmother." ”

"Well, sit down."

The three of them sat down separately, and Lin Miao felt that she should retreat as an outsider at this time, so she stood up and said, "You guys chat, I still have something to deal with, so let's go first." ”

Chen Lin didn't stop it, glanced at Lin Miao, and then turned his gaze to the servant woman on the side, "Ah Lai, you go to Miss's yard to take care of Miss." ”

Ah Lai responded: "Yes, the slave must do her best." ”

Lin Miao: "......"

When did she say she needed someone to take care of her?

"Thank you, but I don't need it, I can have Ye Zi, and there are so many maids in the courtyard, there is no shortage of manpower."

Chen Zhu hurriedly gave Lin Miao a look, telling her not to refuse, so as not to upset her grandmother.

It's a pity that Lin Miao didn't notice it, and turned around and left after speaking.

Chen Lin's face sank: "Stop." ”

Lin Miao heard it, she didn't care about it without a name or surname.

Out of the hall, Ye Zi approached Lin Miao and whispered, "Girl, are we really going to leave like this?" Will the old lady be angry? ”

Lin Miao glanced at her: "Don't worry, Grandpa Chen is here, and her grandchildren are also here, she is a little angry, and she will get better soon." ”

"Girl, why don't you take Aunt Alai?" Ye Zi asked.

"You forgot, we're going to leave the Chen family in a minute, what do you want that aunt to do? You can't take it to Lin's house. ”

Lin Miao paused as she spoke, and then said: "Besides, this Grandma Chen is too inexplicable, there are so many people in the Lingzhi Courtyard, and one of them is arranged, I think there must be fraud in it, and I must not accept it." ”

The two returned to the Lingzhi Courtyard while talking, and as soon as they sat down, the maid outside replied: "Girl, Aunt Alai from the old lady's courtyard has arrived." ”

Lin Miao: "......"

She refused, why did she come back?

"Let her go back, there are enough people in the Lingzhi Courtyard."

After a while, the maid's voice sounded again: "Girl, Aunt Alai said that the old lady arranged for her to serve in the Lingzhi Courtyard, she can't help but obey, if the girl doesn't like her, you can arrange for her to wash the night pot or something." ”

Washing the night pot?

Lin Miaohan, the person in front of Grandma Chen, if she arranges to wash the night pot, wouldn't she slap Grandma Chen's face naked?

That's it, she'll be gone anyway.

"Let her in."

"Yes."

After a while, Ah Lai came in and saluted: "I've seen Miss." ”

Lin Miao leaned back on the back of the chair, looked up at Ah Lai and said, "Don't call me Miss, call me Yue'er, Lin Yue, or girl." ”

Alaifu: "Yes, listen to the girl." ”

Lin Miao nodded with satisfaction, "You are the person next to Grandma Chen, and I don't know what to arrange for you to do, so it is better for you to go down and rest first, let me think about it, and then let someone inform you." ”

The coming day is long, slowly penetrating, Ah Lai thought about it like this and bowed and retreated.

Ye Zi came out of the room, looked at Ah Lai's back, and said in a low voice: "Girl, is the old lady hostile to you?" She looks very much like the second lady in our house, and the second lady is like this, always looking for a reason to stuff people into the young lady's yard. ”

Lin Miao leaned forward to support her cheeks, thought about it, and said, "It shouldn't be, I'm not Grandpa Chen's outcast, let alone his lover, so I borrowed the Chen family, so I would be hostile to me, that's too stingy." ”

Mrs. Chen is not a stingy person, so why is she like this?

Ye Zi couldn't figure it out, at this time, she really wished that her young lady was also here, and the young lady must have seen it at a glance.

Lin Miao waved her hand, "Forget it, it's not important, let people go and see if Grandpa Chen is free, I'll resign." ”

Ye Zi nodded and walked out of the door quickly.

After a while, the maid came to report: "Girl, the old lady and the old lady have gone out." ”

"Let people pay attention, and let me know when you're back."

"Yes, the slave knows."

Unable to leave for the time being, Lin Miao felt bored while sitting, so Ye Zi brought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and began to write a brief introduction to the medical school, prospects and other copywriting.

At night, the autumn breeze blows and the leaves rustle.

Lin Miao sat on the bed reading after washing, and asked from time to time: "Ye Zi, Grandpa Chen, they haven't come back yet?" ”

"Girl, the slave maid has been watching, and she hasn't come to report yet, so she shouldn't have come back."

Lin Miao asked again, "Did you send any news from Baguio?" ”

Ye Zi shook his head, the mastermind behind the scenes can arrange so much, and find people he doesn't know, which proves that he is also a smart person, a smart person, it is not so easy to find out.

Lin Miao put down the book, "Don't wait, I'm sleepy, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Ye Zi removed the candle: "Then the girl sleeps." ”

Next.

The first thing Lin Miao did when she opened her eyes was to ask Ye Zi, "Is there any news from Baguio?" ”

"I just let people pass it, but nothing was found, the carriage is still by the lake, no one has ever approached, the one called Pothos is dead."

"Dead?" Lin Miao sat up in shock, "Why did you die?" Isn't someone looking at her? How did you get her dead? ”

"I can't tell, the person who came only said that the pothos was dead, and asked the others, but he didn't know."

Lin Miao hurriedly got out of bed, "Let people prepare the carriage, I'll wash up and go out." ”

Ye Zi nodded, turned around and walked out the door.

After a while, Lin Miao packed up and was about to go out, when Ah Lai appeared and saluted: "Good morning, girl." ”

"Good morning Aunt Alai, by the way, I thought about it last night, I really can't think of anything I can arrange for you to do, why don't you find something to do by yourself, I'll go first." Lin Miao said and continued to walk out.

Ah Lai stood in the way, "Girl, where are you going?" ”

"Huh?" Lin Miao was stunned for a moment, "I have something to go out." ”

"Did the girl have breakfast?" Ah Lai asked.

"It's urgent, I'm not hungry, don't use it yet." Lin Miao said and bypassed Ah Lai and continued walking.

Ah Lai followed again: "Girl, are you going out like this?" ”

Or else?

Lin Miao didn't ask, thinking of what Chen Xiuling said that big families had to go out with the consent of the elders, so she stopped, looked at Ah Lai and said, "Grandma Chen probably hasn't gotten up yet, I won't bother her, there's nothing to do here, you go back and rest." ”

"The old lady will get up in a moment..."

"That was before, now that Grandpa Chen is by his side, do you understand that Xiao Biesheng is newly married? It's not good to bother, don't talk about it, I'll go first, take a good look at the yard. ”

Lin Miao's steps were fast, and Ye Zi lowered her head and snickered.

Ah Lai looked like he had been struck by lightning.

Lin Miao left the Chen family and did not go to the Zhang family but came to Mixian Lake.

The carriage that almost rushed into the lake yesterday was still there, and the brown horses were leisurely eating the grass by the lake, and occasionally drinking some of the lake water.

"This horse is so strange, why don't you know how to go?" Ye Zidao.

It's really a little strange, the average horse must have gone far without tying, but this horse has always been here, and it hasn't deviated much from the place.

What is the reason for this?

Lin Miao thought about it and got out of the carriage and walked over, and Ye Zi hurriedly followed.

As soon as they approached, someone immediately rushed out to surround them, and a middle-aged man dressed in indigo said angrily: "It's finally time for you, it's you who let the carriage hit our young lady, report your name." ”

Lin Miao: "......"

Is she a victim?

Ye Zi: "What nonsense, our girl is a friend of Miss Zhang Baguio, and she was the one who was almost hit by the carriage." ”

The young men looked at each other.

Jiang Dazhuang, that is, a young man in the prime of life wearing indigo, looked Lin Miao up and down, and said, "You said yes, what proof is there?" ”

Ye Zi was a little annoyed, and pointed to the carriage lane not far away: "Can't you see the carriage of the Chen Mansion?" There are marks on it. ”

"You go check it out." Jiang Dazhuang said to the prime man next to him.

It can be seen that Jiang Dazhuang is the eldest of these people.

Lin Miao looked at him and asked, "Are you all here this night?" ”

Jiang Dazhuang waited for Lin Miao's identity to be confirmed before replying: "Yes, the brothers kept watch all night, and no one approached the carriage. ”

"That pothos, are you also following?"
