Following her memory, Mu Yunlan came to the Qinghe Courtyard where the old lady lived.

Her grandmother, Geng, was not from a high background, and after the eldest lady Qi entered, her grandfather ordered the middle feed of the house to be handed over to the eldest lady. Geng's family has a lot of grudge against the eldest lady, but the eldest lady can be a person, and there is nothing wrong with taking charge of the feed, which makes Geng's quite helpless.

Geng had just finished using the bird's nest porridge, and was slightly surprised when he saw Mu Yunlan walking in with Mu Yunfan, didn't this girl say that she was going to pray for blessings, why did she come back so soon?

"I've seen my grandmother." Mu Yunlan swept Geng's face, and seeing that her expression was cold and indifferent, the thoughts in her heart turned back and forth.

Her grandfather Mu Jianyu is in a high position, but there is only one wife and one concubine in the backyard, and her father Mu Zhengmin is from the concubine room, so he has never been treated by the Geng family.

"Get up, what's wrong with you today? I've never seen you so diligent on weekdays. ”

"I was sick a few days ago, and I couldn't come to greet my grandmother, because I was afraid that I would be sick." Geng's words were prickly, and Mu Yunlan didn't care.

Geng Shi made an expression without smiling when he heard this, and said lightly: "Sit down." ”

Mu Yunfan was young, but his intuition was keen, and after entering the door and saluting, he obediently snuggled up to his sister's side, looking a little uneasy.

Before Mu Yunlan could speak, there was movement at the door. The eldest lady walked in with someone.

"Daughter-in-law, please be okay to your mother."

Seeing Geng's faint nod, he didn't mind, and took a slightly wrong step to the side, revealing the peerless girl behind him.

The girl is dressed in a blue skirt, the skirt cuffs are carefully embroidered with a large piece of begonia, and the edge of the petals is finely outlined with gold and silver threads.

The cloud bun is elegant, the eyebrows are trimmed, the red lips are bright, and the teeth are fresh...... For a while, I couldn't find more words to describe the girl's beauty.

"Qingyao greets grandmother."

Geng's face looked much better, and he said affectionately: "Hurry up, it's been extremely cold these days, I won't say everything, I don't need you to come over every day to say goodbye." ”

"Grandmother cherishes me, I am grateful, but I don't see you for a day, I always feel uneasy, I can only come over to salute, even if it is just to look at my grandmother, my heart will be at peace." The tactful voice like a yellow warbler said words with honey, which made Geng's smile deeper.

"You're still obedient." Geng nodded with satisfaction, glancing at Mu Yunlan out of the corner of his eyes, and his heart became more and more displeased.

The girl turned her head to look at Mu Yunlan, with a pair of water-cutting autumn eyes and a smile: "When did Sister Yunlan come over?" I heard that there was an accident in your yard yesterday, and the mother-in-law and maid kept begging for mercy, crying for a long time, and it sounded very scary, if it wasn't for me copying the scriptures to my grandmother and couldn't stop, I would have gone to see you. ”

Geng's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said unhappily: "Our house has always been lenient with its subordinates, even if you make a mistake, you can't beat and scold it at every turn, otherwise what will it look like if it spreads?" ”

Mu Yunlan's heart flashed with coldness, the girl's name is Mu Qingyao, she is the daughter of the big house, she can be said to be the pearl of the entire Mu Mansion, and the reputation of both talent and appearance has already spread all over the capital.

"The order to beat someone was given by the eldest aunt." Mu Yunlan looked directly at the eldest lady.

The eldest lady lowered her head slightly and sipped her tea, without meaning to speak.

"I heard my mother say, it's my sister, you think those subordinates have no rules, it's just ...... The subordinates in our house are all seriously trained, how can they do such a thing? Sister, you don't like these mundane things the most on weekdays, but what's the misunderstanding? Mu Qingyao's voice was full of concern, and she looked like a good sister who cared about her sister.

"A misunderstanding of murder?"

"Why is my sister so serious? What proof do you have? ”

Mu Yunlan glanced at the eldest lady, and after saying so much, it turned out that she was secretly tempting, thinking about it, her previous actions made Qi's heart uneasy.

Seeing that she was silent, the eldest lady's heart sank: "Yesterday's incident was my order, and the behavior of those minions was indeed very negligent, mother, I will deal with this matter." ”

Geng waved his hand impatiently: "I can't take care of these things." Yun Lan, your parents are gone, you will naturally have your uncle and second uncle to take care of you in the future, you can do whatever you like, and your uncle and second uncle will not treat you badly. ”

Mu Yunlan sneered in her heart, Geng's hand was good, let the eldest uncle and the second uncle take care of it, and it is estimated that there will be no third room soon.

"Back to my grandmother, although my parents are gone, my brother is fine! The care of the eldest uncle and the second uncle is in our hearts. ”

Geng Shi was blocked from talking, his brows furrowed, and finally looked at Mu Yunlan squarely, and his heart was even more surprised when he saw it.

In the past, this granddaughter was always weak, and when she came to ask An, she only lowered her head and did not speak, and when she was asked occasionally, she was also in tears as if she had been bullied, which made people gamble, and now, she sat upright, with a straight back, a firm face, and a pair of black eyes that were brilliant, which was particularly eye-catching.

When did this granddaughter change her temperament? Is it really too bad?

"After a long and wise life, Yun Lan's niece is really sensible." Before anyone could laugh, a woman walked in with a smile on her face, she handed the cloak to the maid on the side, revealing a coupled Seluo skirt, leaned over slightly and saluted, her head shook Ding Dong, and she was hearty and atmospheric, "Mother, daughter-in-law greets you." ”

This person is the mother of the second house, Wei, she has always been liked by the old lady Geng, seeing her enter the door, Geng's expression instantly calmed down a lot.

Mu Yunlan saluted her, and before she could finish it, she was held by the second lady's wrist: "Okay, the family doesn't need to be so polite, you kid, you are really suffering, I don't know how it will not be easy in the future!" Alas, the third brother and sister are really ruthless, why are they willing to leave you two children. ”

Merriam-Webster said, tears falling from his eyes. Mu Yunlan lowered her head, her original feelings for her parents were extremely deep, even if she was replaced now, it would be uncomfortable to think about it a little.

"Alright, sit down."

The old lady opened her mouth, Wei Shi hurriedly wiped her tears, got up and walked to her, and naturally helped her knead her shoulders: "Mother, my daughter-in-law got ten fine Nanyang pearls yesterday, and at a glance I felt that only you could deserve to wear them, so I hurriedly sent them over." ”

The next person came over with the box, Geng took it and looked at it, his eyes were immediately full of joy, but he excused himself: "Such a good thing, you keep it for yourself, why give me an old woman?" ”

"If things are good, people must be worthy, where do we get the grace and bearing, this bead will be dusty if it is placed in me."

Geng took Wei's hand and laughed, praising her for being sensible, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked like a mother and daughter.

The eldest lady was silent while drinking tea on the side, and Mu Qingyao sat beside her to accompany her, always smiling, but without the sincerity of Fang Cai.

Mu Yunlan quietly took this scene into her eyes and had a preliminary understanding of the division of forces in the mansion.
