Chapter 4: The Strange Handyman

Guan Qingyue is helpless, it seems that gossip is really a thing that has been prosperous forever since ancient times.

However, Guan Qingyue noticed that a tall man in coarse linen clothes was passing by her back and forth with abandoned furniture. When she first came here, she often heard people talk about a backyard handyman with a gloomy face all day long and rarely talked to people.

The man sensed Guan Qingyue's gaze and glanced at her, Guan Qingyue quickly looked away, pretending to be nothing. But he was nervous in his heart, his face was too gloomy, as if there were three big words written on his face, "Don't mess with me", Guan Qingyue shook her head, thinking to herself how could the Yuan family use such a strange handyman.

In less than half a pillar of incense, the second young grandmother actually brought the maid to the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, Ning Xianglan leaned on the beauty couch, looked at her coldly and came in, but she didn't get up to greet her.

The second young grandmother was not unhappy, she knew Ning Xianglan's temperament, gave her a blessing with a smile, and said with a concerned face: "I heard that my sister-in-law was unwell at tea this morning, so I came to take a look." ”

Ning Xianglan hooked the corners of her lips, "That's really a brother and sister Lao, my body is not very happy, so I won't get up, Mama Zhao, go make a cup of tea for the second young grandmother." ”

The second young grandmother resigned and sat on the side, "I specially brought Chinese medicine for fetal protection today, and let Qingyue fry it later, and my sister-in-law will get better soon." ”

Mama Zhao served tea, and the second young grandmother picked up the teacup and gently flicked the tea leaves, "Speaking of Qingyue, how did I see her kneeling outside when I came just now?" Didn't you make your sister-in-law angry? ”

"That girl is frizzy, I'll set rules for her." Ning Xianglan said lightly.

"On such a big day, that girl has fine skin and tender flesh, don't kneel anymore." The second young grandmother looked at Ning Xianglan's expression, "Sister-in-law, didn't she want to punish her because of the tea ceremony this morning?" ”

Ning Xianglan looked at the second young grandmother and chuckled: "What's the matter, it's too late for me to be grateful for the soothing water that my mother-in-law sent this morning, how can it be because of this matter, my younger siblings are really good at laughing." ”

"That's fine, that's fine, I was there at the time, my mother-in-law really cares about you." The second young grandmother smiled and took a sip of tea.

Ning Xianglan hooked the corners of her lips and sneered: "This is natural, after all, Annan is the eldest son, and the one in my womb is the eldest grandson of the Yuan family, of course my mother-in-law values it." ”

The second young grandmother's smile decreased a few points, and then she regained her smile, "That's natural." ”

"Brother and sister, do you have anything else to do today?" Seeing that the second young grandmother had no intention of leaving, Ning Xianglan asked.

The second young grandmother said: "This year ago, my father came out of his hand to let the eldest brother and Anbei take care of the incense powder shop went wrong, Zhang Yuanwai's eldest wife wants to order a set of rouge gouache from us, you can choose and choose, it is not to your liking, Anbei and I thought, can we let the eldest brother go into some rare incense powder." She paused for a moment, and then said, "This is a big business, so I came to discuss it with my sister-in-law." ”

Ning Xianglan nodded, "I naturally have to discuss this matter with Annan, after all, Annan is the eldest son in the family, and it is better to do everything yourself." ”

The second young grandmother's smile stiffened a little, but she still said yes again and again.

Outside the house, the sun became more and more poisonous, Guan Qingyue's cheeks were sunburned crimson, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, she wiped the sweat beads on her face with her wide sleeves from time to time, and looked up at the big sun on the horizon, so that she could barely open her eyes, and she was about to lose her support.

In a daze, the expressionless handyman put the discarded screen in his hand beside Qingyue with a bang, just blocking the scorching sun, Guan Qingyue looked at the handyman puzzled, but he walked away directly as if he hadn't seen Qingyue.

Qingyue looked at the screen erected beside her, and then looked back at the direction where the handyman left, and the doubts in her heart deepened, could it be that the handyman was deliberately helping her just now? No matter what, Guan Qingyue finally felt a lot more comfortable.

After a while, the second young grandmother came out of the house, and when she passed by Guan Qingyue's side, she suddenly smelled a unique and elegant fragrance, she stopped, sniffed Qingyue's surroundings, lowered her head and asked, "What are you wiping on your body?" ”

"Huh?" Asked coldly, Guan Qingyue hurriedly said: "Back to the second young grandmother, it's just an ordinary incense powder." ”

The second young grandmother shook her head, "No, you didn't smear the incense powder sold by the Yuan family, this taste is very unique." ”

That's natural, Guan Qingyue used to work in a famous cosmetics company in modern times, and she was very sensitive to things like cosmetics and perfumes.

"It's really just ordinary incense powder." Guan Qingyue bowed her head and replied.

The second young grandmother was obviously suspicious of Guan Qingyue's words, she glanced around, finally glanced at Qingyue, and said in a cool voice: "Ah Xiang, let's go." ”

In the middle of the night, Mama Zhao came out of the house, came to Guan Qingyue with an expressionless face, and said in a cold voice: "Grandma Zhao let you in." ”

Because she had been kneeling for a long time, Guan Qingyue almost fell when she got up, Mama Zhao glanced at her mockingly, turned around and walked towards the door, Guan Qingyue hurriedly followed her into the hall together.

Ning Xianglan leaned on the couch, casually fiddling with the hairpins on her bun, and said lazily: "I saw the second young grandmother standing next to you just now, what did you say?" With that, she raised her eyelids and stared at Guan Qingyue.

"The second young grandmother just looked at me kneeling there, and told me to serve the eldest young grandmother carefully in the future, and don't make any more mistakes." Guan Qingyue said.

Ning Xianglan snorted coldly, "Do you think I'll let you go if you sell a few good words?" ”

Guan Qingyue knew that Ning Xianglan still couldn't get along with herself because of the matter of having a room, so she said cautiously: "Grandma, in fact, you can not only use the method of having sex to capture the heart of the eldest young master. ”

"What do you mean?" Ning Xianglan straightened up slightly and looked at Guan Qingyue puzzled. Guan Qingyue took a step forward and said: "The eldest young master has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and there are countless warblers and swallows around him, and he has always valued the beauty of women. ”

Ning Xianglan felt that what Guan Qingyue said was very reasonable, and she sighed wistfully: "But now that I am pregnant, those rouge gouaches are harmful to the children in the womb if they are used too much..."

Guan Qingyue said with a smile: "Ordinary rouge gouache naturally can't be used anymore. ”

Ning Xianglan looked at Qingyue unhappily, "You say that, don't you have any methods?" ”

Guan Qingyue nodded, "Can the young grandmother prepare some spices for the slave?" Slaves and maids can make rouge gouache suitable for young grandmothers. ”
