Yuetan quickly pulled out the lotus seeds with her hands and feet, selected the green and full fresh lotus seeds, took out the lotus hearts and gathered them into a plate, and then used the specially selected long-pole lotus pod to insert the bottle.

Yuetan held the lotus seed in one hand and the vase in the other, walked to Li Jingming's room, and sent it to the small table on the couch.

"There was a light rain in the morning, so I picked half a boatload of lotus canopy, and only picked out this plate, young master to taste."

Li Jingming was sitting at the desk looking at something, and saw the emerald green lotus canopy with varying heights in the moire white jade bottle, and said with a smile: "Everyone else takes lotus flowers in the vase, you are good, and the lotus canopy is regarded as a flower." ”

Yue Tan said consciously while fiddling: "It's not that the young master's marriage is approaching, I will use it to offer an ugly one, and wish you more children and grandchildren in advance." ”

When Li Jingming heard this, he paused, picked up a lotus seed, felt that it was very fragrant and delicious, and said to her with a smile: "If anyone who tempts people can't learn to check that there is no trace, you should be punished for eating all this plate of lotus seeds." ”

Yue Tan waved his hand again and again: "Where do I dare to test the young master, this is an open and honest question to you, what is the next step?" This lotus seed is cold, the young master is strong, it's no problem to eat some, I don't dare to eat more, I have another grape cake here. ”

As he spoke, he took out a plate of purple-red grape cake from the round table behind the screen and put it in Li Jingming's hand.

Li Jingming ate a piece, it was really sweet and delicious, and the fruity aroma was pleasant, "You can also make more of this, it is suitable for children!" ”

"Little children?" Yue Tan cleaned up his desk for a moment, and immediately understood what he meant: "Young Master is going to bring back Young Master Sun and Aunt Sun outside?" ”

"Where's the aunt?" Li Jingming observed her face, pondered for a long time, and then said: "That child has lived outside for a long time, and his personality is a little left, after taking it back, you will be more attentive, and I will not worry about handing it over to others, so I can only entrust it to you." ”

Yue Tan wanted to ask, why she could only trust her to rest assured, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed again, nodded and agreed.

After taking a nap, Yuetan sat down in the shade, took out an embroidered bandage, and kept embroidering a Fushou Wandai pattern on the upper of the shoe, and squatted at the feet of a big orange cat with a smooth and smooth oil, lazily leaning on her shoes and sleeping soundly.

This is a few days ago, Li Jingming picked it up from nowhere, he was lazy and could eat and sleep, and he was not afraid of people, especially like to be coquettish with Yuetan, which may also be because Yuetan couldn't help but stuff it with some snacks.

"Let me see, what are you doing? I looked at you for a long time, and I didn't see you looking up, so attentive. Han Yingniang walked in from the gate of the courtyard, followed by a little maid guarding the door, and ran over in a panic.

"Sister Yuetan, I'm sorry, I accidentally squinted just now." During the little maid's period, Ai Ai lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

Han Yingniang hurriedly persuaded: "Don't scold her, blame me, seeing that she is still working hard to guard the door this day, I didn't call her." ”

provoked a grateful look from the little girl.

Yue Tan smiled, she hadn't said anything yet, her cousin rushed to Qingcang Courtyard to be a good person, and blocked her with words, was she a bully?

"I'll be on duty later, and I'll go to Rose to receive the punishment myself." Yue Tan confessed casually, ignoring Han Yingniang's slightly discolored face, put the needle and thread in the basket at hand, and saluted: "Hello cousin." ”

Han Yingniang covered her lips with a handkerchief, as if she could cover the embarrassment, but soon she waved her hand out of sight and approached to look at her needlework and thread: "Tell me to see, what good things have you made?" ”

The big orange cat was awakened, stretched his waist, bared his teeth at Han Yingniang, and with a "whoop", the three of them jumped up the wall and disappeared.

Han Yingniang couldn't put it down, holding a grape sachet with three-dimensional embroidery of Ye Mao's fruits, and when she got closer, she smelled it and smelled it, and couldn't help but admire: "This is what you did?" What a coincidence. ”

"I don't dare to boast about it as a cousin, this technique is not difficult, it is just fresh and interesting." Yuetan said modestly.

This is Li Jingming saw that she loves to do embroidery to pass the time, and specially gave her a new idea of "three-dimensional embroidery", using special materials and embroidery methods to make the embroidered flowers and plants three-dimensional and fresh, lifelike.

In fact, this embroidery method does not take much effort, but the upper she embroiders now is the water grinding work.

"Isn't it difficult to embroider? Then teach me! This is about to be the old lady's birthday, and this thing made by herself can better reflect her intentions, isn't it? ”

Han Yingniang unceremoniously asked, which made Yuetan stunned, and she chuckled: "If the cousin girl can see it, just take it to play, this thing is still a little unworthy as a birthday gift." ”

The underlying meaning of this is that it is not taught.

Han Yingniang raised her eyebrows, this is the second time she has been pouted back by this maid, and she doesn't know if she is good at advocating or getting the master's instructions.

"Then I'm really biased towards your good things, your craft, others have never seen it before, I really don't know how you came up with it, no wonder the third cousin values you so much."

Han Yingniang picked up the upper of the shoe again and looked at it: "Is this for the third cousin?" What a sweet maid. ”

Yuetan lowered her head and smiled lightly, not answering.

This cousin girl is really strange, she came to talk to her, saying that she was here to be close, not like, she came to find fault, and she couldn't be called it, but she just stabbed you coldly, yin and yang, yin and yang.

"My craftsmanship is not yet on the stage, and I don't deserve such praise from my cousin."

Yuetan's reply was so not soft or hard, which made Han Yingniang a little embarrassed, and she just wanted to reply, when she heard Li Jingming come out of the main house and asked, "Yuetan, I've called you for a long time, what are you doing here?" ”

Han Yingniang didn't wait for Yuetan to speak, threw the upper of her shoes into the basket, and hurriedly reminded: "Third cousin, I came to you to talk about something, can you go to the study to talk?" ”

After speaking, he took a step forward and blocked Li Jingming's sight, not wanting him to talk to Yuetan.

Li Jingming hesitated, but nodded, Han Yingniang saw this, immediately smiled reservedly, and turned her head to look at Yuetan, with a little smugness in her eyes.

Yuetan shook her head in her heart, and just wanted to sit down and continue embroidering the face of her shoes, when she heard Li Jingming reminding in a loud voice: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Serve tea to the cousin and serve in the study. ”

A lot of words, if there are only two parties left, no one will see it even if it is a shame, but if you add an eye-catching maid, a person who has the upper hand in the scramble, Han Yingniang can't hold it even if she is thick-skinned.

However, Li Jingming didn't seem to see that she had asked to talk alone several times, and insisted on letting Yuetan stay in the study, and finally had to leave in a bad mood.

went back and forth like this, the second wife let go too early, and Li Jingming didn't accept the offer, so there were some not very good rumors in the house.

The second wife hugged Han Yingniang, held her chest and said hatefully: "Auntie's good daughter, you have been wronged!" There are really more and more rules in this house, listen to what you say, I will talk to your uncle-in-law tomorrow, and I will definitely settle the marriage. ”

How can Han Yingniang not be sad, she asks herself if she is not inferior to others in terms of appearance and talent, but she is half a cut shorter on her body, and the people in the house hold it when they can use it, and when they don't need it, they are unscrupulously contemptuous.

If she becomes the master of this house, who will dare?

She thought so in her heart, and persuaded the second wife to be relieved: "Auntie doesn't have to pay attention to those villains, I don't have to be angry with my body, I just was said twice, it's okay." ”

The second wife took Han Yingniang into her arms and wiped her tears.

"It's all your uncle's fault, because the third mother-in-law, the vixen, has always been biased towards the third child, and I, the mother-in-law, can't be his master, and your seventh cousin is too young to support the family business, so let our mothers suffer this grievance."

Han Yingniang was made her head hurt by the second wife's crying, and returned to her yard with her forehead, since the Han family also lived, she had to move out of the second wife's courtyard and live with the Han family.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard her own sister talking loudly, as if she had watched her enter the door and deliberately let her hear.

"Mother, when are we going home? No matter how good this house is, it's not our home, you listen to what those subordinates are preaching, saying that our family is a poor relative who lives in the autumn breeze, and every grass and paper is used by their family. ”

Immediately afterwards, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Han, gently persuaded: "Be good! When your sister's marriage is over, let's go home. ”

"Then when will the marriage be decided, I see that the third young master doesn't want to marry his sister at all, my sister goes around people all day long, what do people think of our Han family, the people in the house have looked at me with contempt these days?"

Mrs. Han was silent for a while before she slowly spoke: "Don't talk nonsense, your sister was raised by your aunt, and if others accuse you, they will also criticize your aunt, what does it have to do with our family?" Besides, when we go home, I don't know your sister's style over there, and it won't affect you. ”

The maid coral who followed behind Han Yingniang couldn't hear it, and was about to go to the mother and son to theorize immediately, but fortunately, Han Yingniang had a clear mind and hurriedly stopped.

She walked into the house, sat down on the kang, looked at the poorly furnished house, and remembered a series of behaviors after the Han family moved in.

In the name of helping her housekeeper, Mrs. Han searched all the dozens of taels of silver she had saved, and Han Luoniang said that she had not prepared gifts for her younger siblings for so many years, and she collected a lot of good things that she wore and wore on her head.

The more Han Yingniang thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally she was so angry that she couldn't speak, and she was stunned for a while before she cried, muttering a few words in a low voice.

"They all took it, so don't blame me for being ruthless...... The path I chose myself, and I cried to finish it...... In the future, I will have no home. ”

She has no way out now, so she can only desperately press the treasure in the Guogong Mansion, and how to become the master of this mansion is the first thing she has to solve now.

If...... The third cousin's path doesn't work, maybe, maybe you can try...... Seven cousins!
