Ming Yan was very surprised to learn that Zhang Xi had gone out of the house to drink tea in Tao Ranju, and then there was a rush and chaos.

"Hurry up and inquire if your cousin's gift list has been sorted out." Ming Yan looked at the stack of gift lists that had just been sorted out halfway, and couldn't help but be impetuous, so he simply put down his pen and instructed Lan Fangdao.

Lan Fang didn't dare to disobey and bent her knees to agree.

Since the last time she came back from Wuzhangfeng, Madame strictly controlled her, Miss Biao's temper has become more and more difficult to fathom, and she does not dare to persuade her more.

"Wait!"

As soon as Lan Fang walked to the door, she was stopped by Ming Yan again, so she stood up and turned around, lowering her hands and waiting for orders.

"Let's see if you can inquire about who the gift list my cousin has distributed." Mingyi's expression was uncertain, and he commanded in a low voice.

Afterwards, she also asked her eldest cousin-in-law coquettishly, but unfortunately the eldest cousin-in-law made a haha and perfunctory. The more this happened, the more she felt that there was a problem with the distribution of the gift list.

Lan Fang didn't dare to be suspicious, and took the order to retreat.

Out of the East Cross Courtyard, Lan Fang couldn't help but let out a long breath, planning to go to the main house to ask Chu's mother for an idea first.

Of the two things that Miss Biao ordered, the first one could still be inquired about, but the latter one inevitably suspected that Mrs. Shizi was unequal and unfair, even if she did not dare to persuade her, she did not dare to obey the order.

Who knows that it is not a coincidence, Chu's mother was sent out of the house by the British Duchess to run errands, and Lan Fang had to go to the Qingyuan reluctantly.

When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the little maid guarding the door, Qingzhi, greeted with a smile: "Sister Lanfang, why are you here?" ”

Lan Fang smiled and asked knowingly, "Is Miss in the yard?" ”

The little maid shook her head and said with a smile: "No, the young lady went out of the house earlier." ”

Lan Fang smiled: "It was Miss Biao who sent me to pass a message to Miss, since Miss hasn't come back yet, then I'll go in and wait!" ”

The little maid was about to refuse, but Lan Fang had already stepped into the courtyard by herself.

The little maid thought that it was not a big deal anyway, and Lan Fang was often ordered to deliver things and pass on words, so she gave up.

Lan Fang walked all the way through the atrium and to the eaves.

When the maid who was doing the sweeping saw her, they all greeted her.

After all, everyone in the house knows that although Miss Biao's surname is Ming, she is deeply favored by her wife, and there is no difference between Miss Chang and Miss Yan. Lan Fang, as Miss Cousin's confidant, naturally has a rising identity.

"Miss Cousin, I'll send a message to Miss." Lan Fang smiled and said to the little girl Qingju, who was playing the curtain, "Since the young lady is not in the house at this time, then I will go in and wait." ”

Qingju felt a little unreasonable.

The young lady is not here, how can the next person enter the room at will?

smiled and said to Lan Fang: "It's rare for my sister to come back, why don't you come to my room to drink tea?" ”

Lan Fang couldn't ask for it, so she smiled and nodded.

Anyway, even if she was lucky enough to get in, she didn't dare to look at Miss's things privately. Rather than entering the house and not getting things done, it is better to be stopped at the door under the pretext of being stopped and waiting in front of Miss Biao, which is perfunctory.

Qingju saw that Lan Fang agreed happily, so he didn't have any doubts.

invited Lan Fang into his room, and Qingju hurriedly made tea and grabbed melon seeds to entertain him.

The tea is aged tea and has an astringent taste; The melon seeds are quite crispy and delicious.

In the end, the little girl who was picked up can have any good things.

Lan Fang took a sip of tea, put it down, grabbed a handful of melon seeds in her hand, and gossiped with Qingju while sipping.

When it was speculative, Lan Fang sighed as if unintentionally: "Since Miss Biao took over the Mid-Autumn Festival, she has been busy day and night, and those of us who are close to us are also staying up with each other night after night." ”

Qingju smiled and persuaded: "The young ladies are busy, we can't sit idle." ”

When Lan Fang heard this, she knew that Zhang Xi had been busy with this matter recently, so she nodded with a smile and said, "What you said is still reasonable." ”

Qingju smiled embarrassedly.

Seeing this, Lan Fang took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, has Miss's gift list been sorted out?" ”

Qingju didn't doubt him, and said with a smile: "These are all Sister Lanxin waiting, and we don't know." ”

Lan Fang didn't ask for an answer, so she couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but she was also secretly relieved.

Although she serves Miss Cousin, she is a servant of the British Mansion, and it is always wrong to help Miss Cousin spy on Miss's "military intelligence".

If she wants her to say, why should it be so sneaky to ask about such a trivial matter between cousins?

Lan Fang finished the melon seeds in her hand, patted the ashes on her hands, and prepared to get up to say goodbye.

It's a big deal that I didn't complete the task and was scolded by Miss Cousin! It's not the first time I've experienced it anyway.

As soon as Lan Fang stood up and was about to leave, she heard a burst of laughter outside.

Hearing Lan Xin's voice, Lan Fang suddenly "chuckled" in her heart, quickly stood up, prepared to speak, and walked out of the house with Qingju.

The two happened to meet Lan Xin in the court.

"Why are you here?" Lan Xin was stunned for a moment, and then greeted with a smile, but her heart immediately raised her guard.

Lan Fang said with a smile: "Miss Biao came to me to pass the word, saying that the early laurel bloomed in the house recently, do you want to hold a flower party and invite the young ladies of all families to come to the house to enjoy the flowers?" ”

After that, he looked behind him, and saw Zhang Xi's figure, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still asked with a smile on his face: "Didn't you go out with Miss?" Why don't you see Miss? ”

Lan Xin smiled and said, "Miss has gone to the main room." ”

You must tell you when you go out, and you must face you when you return. This is due etiquette and filial piety.

After saying that, Lan Xin smiled again: "For these things, just find a little maid to run errands, and you can do it yourself." Isn't it overkill? ”

Tongue-in-cheek words implied temptation.

Lan Fang smiled and perfunctorily said: "What is overkill?" Let's be subordinates, it's not what the master commands, just do it!

"Is it possible, Miss told you to pass the word, can you still rely on your identity as a big girl, if you don't go?" Lan Fang kicked the words to Lan Xin again.

Although she is a servant of the British government, she is now serving Miss Cousin, and the master has lost face, so what can she look good on her face?

Besides, she and Lan Xin have the same monthly routine, and there is no reason to be ridiculed by the other party, but they have to swallow their anger.

Lan Xin had no intention of planning with Lan Fang, so she smiled and perfunctory the topic, and said, "I will report this matter to Miss." ”

Lan Fang didn't want to stay longer, so she said with a smile: "In this case, then I'll go back to my life first." ”

Lan Xin smiled: "I'll send you." ”

As he spoke, he personally sent Lan Fang out of the Qingyu Hospital.

In the evening, Zhang Xi returned to the courtyard, and Lan Xin explained the matter.

Zhang Xi said with a smile: "At this time, what kind of flower party does she still have the leisure to hold?" ”

After that, he shook his head.

Looking at her mother's posture, before the Double Ninth Festival, they don't think about feasting and drinking, and obediently follow their sister-in-law to learn housekeeping!

Lan Xin hesitated: "The slave maid looked at Lan Fang's description, but I was afraid that this was just an excuse......"

Zhang Xi was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a heavy gaze: "What have you inquired about?" ”

Since Lan Xin said this, he must have asked the people in the courtyard in advance.

Sure enough, Lan Xin said everything Lan Fang said after entering the hospital, and at the end, he said: "Qingju said that Lan Fang mentioned the Mid-Autumn Festival gift list a few times. ”

Zhang Xi was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed with a smile: "Sister An said that I refused to admit defeat, it seems that Sister Yan is not much better than me!" ”

The two have fought since childhood, and neither of them will back down first.
