The eldest lady in the house was wearing a long dress embroidered with gold silk and red gold phoenix tail, and she was sitting dignifiedly, with the style of a housewife.

Lin Yue felt tired and panicked when she saw that she was sitting so upright, and she learned from Li Wanyan to salute and said, "My daughter visits her mother." ”

"Wanyan, why don't you practice outside, what are you doing with you? Lazy again, huh? The eldest lady said gently.

This kind of gentleness is different from the gentleness towards them, Lin Yue can feel that the eldest lady's tenderness to Li Wanyan is sincere, and with doting and kindness, theirs belongs to the routine kind.

Li Wanyan smiled sweetly and said: "Mother, aren't I happy to see my fourth sister, don't practice the piano anymore at this time, and my piano skills are already very skilled, don't talk about me anymore." Mother, look at the fourth sister after dressing up, she really changed a person. ”

In front of them, Li Wanyan still has the dignified appearance of the eldest sister, but in front of the eldest lady, she has a childish heart.

Hearing this, the eldest lady fell on Lin Yue's body, because Lin Yue's body was thin, so after wearing thick clothes, her figure became more and more slender, except for the chest was not bulging enough, everything else was still good.

"Xinyue, don't be afraid, raise your head, come over and let me take a closer look." The eldest lady said kindly.

Hearing this, Lin Yue walked over slowly, in addition to not being confident enough, she also walked with the temperament of a small jasper.

When she got closer, Lin Yue raised her head, and her delicate facial features flashed a touch of surprise in the eyes of the eldest lady Ruan, she glanced at her daughter again, and found that Lin Yue's appearance was not inferior to her daughter at all, and even more exquisite.

She squinted her eyes and smiled: "This dress is really beautiful, as beautiful as your mother, and when I send someone to teach you etiquette in the future, you will be more like a lady." ”

Lin Yue's face was deferential, "Yes, mother, Xinyue will definitely live up to her mother's expectations and will learn etiquette well." ”

"Good boy, come, sit down, after so many years of exile, you must have suffered a lot, in the future in the Li Mansion, if you have a bad life and have been wronged, you can tell your mother, and you can tell your mother what you lack." The eldest lady Nguyen said thoughtfully.

Lin Yue nodded heavily and said, "Thank you, mother, I remember it." ”

"You don't have to be so restrained at home, you will be the fourth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, be confident, the past is over, you see how beautiful you are dressed up, no one will say that you are from the countryside." When you usually have nothing to do, you can come to your eldest sister's side to walk around and learn from her about everyone's beautiful demeanor. Nguyen admonished.

Her careful and patient advice and teachings are like a loving mother.

"Yes, Xinyue must remember her mother's teachings, the eldest sister loves Xinyue very much, and Xinyue will be closer to the eldest sister more."

Hearing this, Li Wanyan grabbed Lin Yue's hand and said, "Well, that's right, I'm your eldest sister, I don't need to see outside, I like you very much when I see you, if you come, I will teach you to play the piano and practice calligraphy." ”

Lin Yue hesitated: "However, I can't read or play, I'm stupid by nature, I'm afraid that my sister will dislike me for being stupid." ”

Li Yingyun, who had been unable to interject, said: "It's okay, take your time, the eldest sister's piano skills and calligraphy are the best among the Miss Beijing, with such a good teacher to teach, you will definitely go a day." ”

"Fourth sister, don't worry, the eldest sister won't dislike you for being stupid, and you have time to come and walk around like the third sister." Li Wanyan said kindly.

Lin Yue said with a compliant face: "Yes, Xinyue remembers." ”

If I don't learn well, I guess I'll have to find something to do when the time comes, but if I refuse now, I won't give face directly, so on the surface, she still behaves very humble and deferential.

Ruan Shi and Li Wanyan looked at each other, and Ruan Shi said: "Xinyue, I see that there is only one maid by your side, and it looks shabby, it really doesn't look like a look, bright moon and autumn wind, from now on, you will follow Miss Four, you must take good care of Miss Four, you have to be neglected, I will cure your sins." ”

The two maids in the room hurriedly saluted and said, "Yes, madam, the slave and maid remember." ”

Then they saluted Lin Yue and said, "Mingyue/Autumn Wind to meet the fourth lady." ”

Lin Yue was flattered, and hurriedly bent down and said, "Hurry up." ”

Her behavior made Li Wanyan despise her, those who are in the countryside are from the countryside, even if they change their appearance to become a young lady, they are still humble and lowly in their bones, and they will never learn to be noble.

Ruan Shi said with kind eyebrows: "Xinyue, you don't have to be like this, you have to remember that you are the fourth young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a young lady, not a servant, your posture must be higher than theirs, you must not be so humble again, this will make others look down on our Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Lin Yue hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Yes, Xinyue remembers, and she won't do it again." ”

"It's okay, just remember it, they will teach you the rules in the future, and in a few days, I will arrange some servants and maids for you to come to your courtyard." A motherly style.

Lin Yue sneered, this is to put eyeliner next to me to spy on me.

She waved her hand and refused: "Mother Lao has bothered, and the three of them take care of me, it's enough, my mother doesn't have to break the bank, if there are many people, Xinyue will also feel uncomfortable, and ask my mother to take back her life." ”

Ruan thought to himself, it should be enough for two maids to serve closely, and the others can just make a little show.

"You are the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can you have a shabby life, I know you have a quiet temperament, you don't like to be noisy, I won't arrange a lot of people, three or five should be fine, if there are too few people, you really can't get on the stage."

Li Wanyan also persuaded her: "Yes, fourth sister, you are a young lady now, you can't do everything yourself, just let someone do some things, you are a young lady of Jingui." ”

"What the eldest sister said is right, you still received your mother's kindness, if there are too few people in your yard, those ignorant people will think that you are left out and will bully you." Li Yingyun said.

Lin Yue saluted and said, "Then Xinyue thanked her mother here." ”

"Good boy, get up, you should have seen all the people in this mansion, there are two aunts in the mansion besides me, you have seen them all, this is Yingyun, your third sister, and the daughter of the fifth aunt, and there is another named Xiaotong, she is your second sister, the daughter of the third aunt."

Lin Yue couldn't help but ask, "Are there only female dependents in the mansion?" ”

Ruan Shi smiled: "Of course not, your three aunts and I each have a son, and they all serve in the imperial court, so you don't usually have the opportunity to meet them." ”
