"It's okay, maybe it's a new pair of shoes...... I'm not used to it. ”

Zi Yan answered Lao Liu's words softly, smiled slightly after speaking, and then lowered her head shyly. In the eyes of her family, she has always been like this. Because he was born in a wealthy mansion, a ten-year-old child knows how to maintain a standard image of everyone's girlfriends.

Although the housekeeper Lao Liu had doubts, he didn't ask too much, and just took the wheelchair from Zi Yan's hand.

Zi Yan walked very slowly behind Lao Liu, as for the feet, what was the matter? Only she understands.

The Fang family's house is very large, and there is a long corridor from the front yard to the back yard. Under the light breeze of the night breeze, it is a little more cold here. Since Fang Yan took charge of the family business, the number of servants in the family has decreased. At present, there is only one butler left, the old lady and a personal maid in front of her, as well as two chefs in the kitchen and a miscellaneous man.

As for Leng Chunzhu, who has been in this family for many years, he can't be regarded as a servant, but he is responsible for taking care of Ziyan, and he often helps serve the old lady. Since Qianyan suddenly suffered from eye disease and vision impairment two months ago, Leng Chunzhu took care of him again.

Perhaps in the eyes of the old lady, Leng Chunzhu had already become one of the hostesses of this family, but Fang Yan had always refused to accept it in his heart.

"Zi Yan, hurry up and come along."

"Dad, why don't I go to the kitchen and take a look. Belch...... I want to serve my grandmother's meal myself. ”

Zi Yan's words made Fang Yan very relieved and happy, he liked this well-behaved and sensible daughter more and more, which also reminded him of Yun Qilan again.

"Okay, there you go."

Fang Yan didn't praise Zi Yan in person, but only responded casually. Zi Yan dragged her uncomfortable feet, from a "fork" in the corridor, down the stairs to the kitchen across the west courtyard.

"Young master, Zi Yan has a well-behaved temperament, and she is becoming more and more like a young grandmother."

Lao Liu unconsciously praised Zi Yan in front of Fang Yan, of course, he also thought of Yun Qilan.

Speaking of Qilan, she ...... today. I think I've been here. ”

Fang Yan finally said what he sensed in Shadow Lan Villa. When Lao Liu heard this, he immediately stopped, and his hair, which was already very thin, seemed to stand on end.

"Young Master, are you ...... Also seen? No, did you hear that? ”

Lao Liu's voice trembled slightly, and his voice was very low.

"Lao Liu, what do you mean? What does it mean to see and hear? Could it be you...... Encountered the weird too? Have you seen her? Where is it? ”

Fang Yan's emotions suddenly became excited, turned around, stretched out his hands and groped for Lao Liu's arm.

"Yes, young master! I saw it, just outside the gate. I think...... It must be that the young grandmother misses Ziyan and misses you, so she came back to take a look. ”

"Lao Liu, take me tomorrow and go to Qilan's grave to have a look. I'm sorry for her and I ask her to forgive ......"

"Lao Liu, why don't you push the young master over quickly, what are you doing there?"

Just as Fang Yan and Lao Liu were talking about Yun Qilan, Leng Chunzhu suddenly walked towards him. Fang Yan quickly shut up, and Lao Liu didn't dare to slack off, pushing the wheelchair to speed up.

Then the two were silent, and soon arrived at the backyard where the old lady lived. Ten years ago, after the accident in the villa, the old lady moved here to live, and specially sorted out a room to make a Buddhist hall. She began to live in seclusion, three meals a day were carried out here, and every night after dinner would go into the Buddha hall to burn incense and worship the Buddha.

There are three kinds of people who burn incense and worship from time to time. One is to believe from the heart, the other is to give thanks or make a vow, and the other may be to atone for sin. As for the situation of the old lady of the Fang family, only she understands.

A gray-haired woman in her sixties sat behind a dining table in the atrium. Looking at the figure, this old lady belongs to the slightly chubby type. From the face in the shape of the word "country", to the very coordinated facial features, to the silk and satin dress, all of them reflect a kind of luxury. There was a little girl standing beside the old lady, waiting for orders at any time.

Leng Chunzhu came in one step ahead of Lao Liu, and stood respectfully on the chair on the old lady's side, but did not sit down immediately. Lao Liu pushed Fang Yan to the other side of the old lady, so that he happened to be face to face with Leng Chunzhu.

"Lao Liu, Xiaohui, you go to the kitchen to help prepare dinner. Tell them to add two more dishes, not afraid of being late, it just so happens that I still have something to say to Fang Yan. ”

The old lady did not smile, and her tone was full of majesty.

Lao Liu and the maid Xiaohui both understood that the old lady was splitting the two of them. So, the two turned around and went out very interestingly.

"Chunzhu (stupid pig) closes the door."

The old lady spoke with an accent, and when she called Leng Chunzhu's name, it sounded like a stupid pig. Haha, stupid pigs are stupid pigs, anyway, Leng Chunzhu didn't dare to get angry and refute. Leng Chunzhu went over to close the door, came back and stood beside the old lady again.

"Sit down, Fang Yan, there's a chair behind you, sit down by yourself."

The old lady spoke, and Leng Chunzhu and Fang Yan sat down obediently.

"I'm looking for you today, what's the matter...... I guess you all understand, right? ”

The old lady deliberately paused as she spoke, and then looked at the two on the left and right. Fang Yan looked dazed, he couldn't see his mother's expression originally!

Leng Chunzhu's face showed a faint smile. But in an instant, she shook her head again and said deliberately: "Chunzhu is not educated, and her talent is not agile enough, so please ask the old lady to make it clear." ”

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point. The eighth day of next month is Ziyan's birthday, and I plan to set the date for you on that day......"

"What? Mom, what are you talking about? What day? You probably haven't had a break lately, so don't think about it useless. ”

Fang Yan began to be nervous and flustered, he didn't want to hear the old lady say that.

"Don't pretend to be confused in front of me, Chunzhu (stupid pig) has worked hard in the Fang family for so many years, shouldn't you give her a name? Ziyan was brought up by Chunzhu herself, isn't she qualified to be her mother? ”

"I never thought about that, Harutake...... She is the benefactor of our family, and I will be grateful to her for the rest of my life. But...... But...... This kindness and the love between men and women cannot be equated at all! Mom, listen to me......"

"Don't force your quibbles, unfilial piety is great! You are the only son of the Fang family, and now you have passed the age of establishment, but our family still does not have a grandson. Could it be that you want the Fang family to cut off the incense? ”

Hearing the old lady say this, Leng Chunzhu's heart was full of joy. But Fang Yan's heart was full of pain. Out of his family education and etiquette, he didn't dare to argue with his mother anymore, so he had to find an excuse to speak.

"There's been a lot going on on the farm and the tea factory lately, and I'm not in the mood to think about anything else. On Ziyan's birthday, I will take her to worship Qilan. ”

"Qilan, it's Qilan again! That woman lost all the face for the Fang family at the beginning, and she was innocent of death! I don't allow you to worship her again, and I don't allow Ziyan to worship! In the future, Ziyan's mother can only be Chunzhu, Leng Chunzhu! ”

The old lady of the Fang family's face became very ugly, and she was actually like this, insulting Yun Qilan, who they thought was "dead".

"Old lady, don't be angry, pay attention to your body! I'm going to find Zi Yan over now and ask her to tell you a story. ”

Leng Chunzhu comforted the old lady with a far-fetched smile.
