Beyond the white walls and green tiles, a four-season laurel extends in, with small yellow and white flowers hanging on the lush branches, swaying in the breeze.

Sniff in, the aroma is already very strong.

A few small yellow and white flowers flying down in the corner of the wall swirled in the wind, Wan Chaoyun's eyes were moist, and he forced himself not to recall, "Find a jar and pick up the petals to make wine." She commanded Willow Eyebrow.

"Girl, how can you brew so little?" Liu Mei accidentally stepped on a few petals, and even less could be used.

"Accumulate a lot, go quickly, and see if the sugar steamed cheese is done by the way." Raise the willow eyebrows again.

Liu Mei heard the words sugar steamed cheese, and immediately rushed back, Zhou's mother should have done it for so long, right?

Looking at her ignorant appearance, Wan Chaoyun smiled helplessly, it was good to be young, lively, vibrant, and without trouble.

When Liu Mei came back, he held a plum white porcelain jar in his hand, and the sugar steamed cheese was still not ready, "Girl, Mother Zhou said that she would have to wait for two hours......

"Liu Mei, are you literate?" Wan Chaoyun took out the report letter from his cuff and asked.

Liu Mei nodded, "Yes." ”

"Then look at what is written on it, I only know 10,000 words, and I don't know anything else." Wan Chaoyun handed her the report letter.

Willow eyebrows scratched their heads, and the curved eyebrows of willow leaves frowned tightly, "Girl, Madame only teaches slaves and maids to write their own names." ”

"Forget it, let's pick up the petals." She casually put the report letter into her cuff and began to pick up the few petals.

Liu Mei quickly forgot about this little episode, and after the two of them picked up all the intact petals on the ground into the jar, Wan Chaoyun proposed: "Go to Grandmother to find Xiao Si, and let Xiao Si help us pick a few fresh ones." ”

"Didn't you say that flowers grow on trees......" Liu Mei felt bitter again, "Girl, where should I put the flowers?" ”

"It's good to just look at it, of course, on the tree, but if you want to make sake, you have to pick it." Wan Chaoyun said as he walked.

After listening to it, Liu Mei thought about it, it seemed to be like this.

There are a total of five rooms in the family, the grandmother is still there, and the family is not separated, and dozens of people are crowded in the courtyard of Sanjin, fortunately, those who study are studying, and those who go out as officials are officials, and there are not too many people who live in the house in normal years.

After a while, through the leafy courtyard, Wan Chaoyun came to Ning'an Courtyard, and before entering the door, he heard the laughter of children in the flower hall.

The original people of the Wan family were prosperous, but later the family changed, and most of them died in a foreign land, almost extinct and withered badly.

Entering the flower hall, what caught my eye was an energetic old lady leaning on the main seat, she was wearing a silver gilt bun and half a pair of jade heads, wearing a longevity pattern pipa sleeve shirt, a purple satin white pleated apron, and a thin fox fur collar on her shoulders.

Under the main seat, the nurse took the three great-grandson-level milk dolls in the long room and the second room, and the second room was also there, so she was relieved, how could the play go on without the people in the second room?

Next to the milk doll stood a young girl, the girl wore a newly made brocade moon white azalea collared shirt, a red satin and white pleated long skirt, and a jade belt around the waist, on which hung a matching azalea silver border with a ruby tassel pendant.

She has delicate facial features, a quiet gentleness between her eyebrows, and is the second daughter of Dafang, sixteen years old this year, and her name is Chaoying.

The second lady Zhu sat on the mahogany chair under the old lady, and Wan Chaoyun came in, and he was reluctant to take his eyes off his grandson.

Compared with Wan Chaoying's rich and noble clothes, the Zhu family is much more simple and simple, although they are not separated, but each room receives monthly silver from it, and then each has its own, and the gap between the rich and the poor is clear at a glance.

Wan Chaoyun first asked for peace, "Chaoyun asked for peace to grandmother, grandmother Wan An, I have seen the second aunt and the third sister." ”

When she arrived, the old lady remembered that her own granddaughter was sick, "What about your mother?" ”

"My mother went to a private school." Wan Chaoyun replied in a regular manner.

"You're sick, she still goes to teach, and she doesn't know how to take care of you at home, so how can you teach students well?" The old lady said with disgust on her face.

After her mother married into the Wanjia family, she never thought of relying on the Wanjia family to help her mother's family, but went to the women's private school to teach, and used a meager bundle to buy medicine for her grandfather to treat the disease, and she was a respectable woman who was self-reliant and self-reliant.

"My mother took care of her at home for a few days, and today my granddaughter is well and my mother went to teach." She defended her mother in a deep voice, but because she was too young, she sounded milky and milky, and there was no deterrent.

The old lady didn't look down on Wan Chaoyun's mother's mother's family, and she didn't even like her granddaughter, "Since you have just recovered from your illness, you can raise it in the house, come out to blow the wind, and turn around to relapse, and you are still uncomfortable." ”

"Yes, my granddaughter knows." Wan Chaoyun didn't want to compete with a few milk dolls here, so he curtsied and was about to leave, but he inadvertently turned around, and the report letter in his sleeve fell out.

She hurried to pick it up.

There were two report letters, which fell down and scattered at their feet, and the old lady and Zhu both saw them, and the envelope read 'Mrs. Wan personally opened'.

"Wait." The old lady called Wan Chaoyun, who had picked up two letters and was about to leave.

Wan Chaoyun turned around and looked at the old lady with bright eyes, "Grandmother, is there anything else?" ”

"What's in your hand?" The old lady asked in a deep voice, she is the only one who can be called an old lady in the family.

Pretending to be ignorant, Wan Chaoyun handed over the letter in his hand, "My granddaughter doesn't know what it is." ”

The old lady's side took the letter and handed it to the small table, this time the old lady saw it clearly, and the envelope was written with six big words: 'Mrs. Wan personally opened'.

"Where did you come from?" The old lady stared back at Wan Chaoyun's eyes, if a milk doll who had just turned six years old dared to lie, she would never escape her eyes.

However, Wan Chaoyun is not only a six-year-old milk doll, she said innocently: "Just now my granddaughter went to the wall to pick up osmanthus petals, and then this thing fell on her granddaughter's head from the sky, grandmother, what is this?" The granddaughter only knew that there was a 10,000-word writing on it. ”

"Falling from the sky?" The old lady squinted, she was considering, a six-year-old child didn't know how to lie, even if she could lie, it didn't make sense for her to see it.

Wan Chaoyun nodded heavily, "Well, at that time, the granddaughter lowered her head to pick up the petals, and suddenly smashed it on the granddaughter's head, grandmother, look, is the granddaughter having a long bag on her head?" She said and stuck her head out.

"You didn't see anyone suspicious?" The old lady asked again.

"Grandmother, what is a suspicious person?" Wan Chaoyun frowned and asked.

Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, the old lady waved her hand, "Let's go play." ”

Wan Chaoyun seemed to be very sad as if she couldn't get her grandmother's care, she left Ning'an Courtyard depressed, and the old lady watched her leave, her eyes fell on the two report letters, and for some reason, her heart jumped up uneasily.
