Jin Ran and Li Ying's master and servant discussed it and settled the matter.

This old lady was asked for by Jinran when she went back to Sheng's house to find her mother Zhang. Now that she has returned home, Jin Ran can't hide her illness, and she was pulled by Zhang's ears and talked about it before it was over.

The Zhang family was originally not at ease with Jin Ran's life alone in the county lord's mansion, but today he was even more dissatisfied when he heard the reason why Jin Ran returned to the mansion to ask for someone: "You kid. is so young, and the one who is closer to her is Li Ying, who is two years younger than you! How can I take care of you? If you want me to say, you better live in the Sheng Mansion for me. ”

Jin Ran said helplessly: "Mother, don't I come back often?" She reached out and grabbed Zhang's hand holding her sleeve and smiled bitterly: "Besides, this county lord's mansion is given by the emperor, how can you say that you can't stop living?" ”

Zhang is also very aware of the stakes, but he just heard that his daughter was sick and his heart was agitated for a while. She sighed, "Not really. But when a little person like you is outside, why don't you worry about being a mother? ”

She gestured to get up as she spoke, "No, I'll have to find you a few more people to bring with you." When you are out alone, there are more people around you who are waiting for you. ”

Jin Ran hurriedly stopped her mother, who wanted to come out of the house, and she smiled bitterly: "Mother, there are so many people in the county lord's mansion, there are enough chaos." If you add me another few people, what else will I do? ”

Zhang looked at Jin Ran disapprovingly, but Jin Ran was not afraid of her, Jin Ran smiled slightly, she held her mother's hand and shook it gently, and said coquettishly: "Mother, just pick a few good grandmothers for me when the time comes." I don't have any other requirements, I want these grandmothers to be more majestic than those children in the Sheng Mansion. I didn't ask them to go back so that they could take care of things, and it would be the same for these people to retire with me in the future. I won't be without them for pay or something. ”

The Zhang family glared at Jin Ran with disgust: "You are the unmarried daughter of the Sheng Mansion." Could it be that you have to pay the remuneration of the servants around you? ”

Jin Ran's arm holding his mother was still shaking: "I know that you love me, but it's just a few grandmothers, I can still afford it." ”

Zhang's really couldn't resist Jinran, so he had to agree to her in the end and not bring more people to serve her. As a corresponding compensation, this Zhang family picked four grandmothers for Jinran in one go.

It is also a coincidence that the draft will be selected in a few days, and a new batch of palace maids will be selected at that time, and the old ladies in the palace will be released. Jin Ran and Fang Tianji have a marriage contract, so the relationship between the Sheng family and the Fang family is also close. Therefore, the old grandmother in Concubine Fang's palace was taken to the house by the Sheng family to be raised.

said that it was Rongyang, but these old women also held certain positions in the Sheng Mansion. Now that Jinran is in need, the Zhang family simply packed up all the people for his own girl.

These four old grandmothers, one surnamed Zhao, one surnamed Sun, one surnamed Qian, and one surnamed Bai.

Mama Zhao is proficient in housekeeping skills, and when she was in the palace, the concubine also relied on her a lot.

Mama Sun embroidered a good flower, especially proficient in Suzhou embroidery. The tailoring skills are also unmatched. She was also an embroiderer when she was young, and later entered the palace when her hometown flooded.

Mama Qian is very good at the art of easy teething. It's cooking. She knows all the eight major cuisines of the Hua Dynasty, and some of the home-cooked side dishes made in Su Ri can also be delicious and make people swallow their tongues.

And Mama Bai is also the person that Jin Ran is most interested in, and it is said that she is very good at the art of disambiguation. One-handed acupuncture is superb. Zhang told Jin Ran that this white grandmother had actually studied medicine in the Valley of Hundred Flowers earlier. That's why Jin Ran agreed to bring people to his house.

These four grandmothers are all from the palace, and their identities, backgrounds, and qualifications are not known to be many times higher than those subordinates in the county lord's mansion. When the time comes, there will be no problem in suppressing them.

Jin Ran also specially met the four grandmothers, all of whom were old men who knew how to advance and retreat, and were extremely transparent and sophisticated. Jin Ran is also extremely satisfied with their little understanding. She didn't want to choose these few, and as soon as she returned to the county lord's mansion, she fought for power. And these grandmothers also made it clear that they are willing to support the elderly.

The test is a two-way street, Jin Ran is satisfied with these grandmothers, and those grandmothers also have a good impression of this Jinrui county lord. They have been fighting with others in the palace all their lives, and naturally they don't want their old age to fall into endless battles, so they are also extremely satisfied with the choice of going to the county lord's mansion.

After choosing someone, Jin Ran didn't leave immediately, and her mother Zhang was very worried about Jin Ran's fever. While muttering that she was going to thank Fang Tianji, Yunyun forcibly grabbed Jin Ran and let her have lunch at home.

Because the lunch was Jinran's first recovery from a serious illness, there was no meat. Only one dish of white-cut chicken and a bowl of duck soup with spring bamboo shoots are used as meat dishes, and the others are some vegetarian dishes such as buttoned three silk and stuffed vegetarian goose.

There is also a dish of green bean soup, which is made of fresh peas and steamed, scooped and ground finely, and then added as fine as powdery sugar, yellow and clear honey, and finally poured a layer of jam before serving.

This jam is also taken from Lingnan's unique sand fruit, the yellow glutinous flesh is sweet and sour, extremely suitable for making sauce, with refreshing and tender green bean soup, Jinran has eaten two or three bowls and is still unsatisfied.

When Jinran was about to reach out for the third bowl, Zhang's stopped her, and Zhang's looked at his daughter with some distress: "Look at you, eating a bowl of green bean soup has become like this, how should you live outside?" It's not too much to eat, this green bean is not easy to restrain and be careful to feel uncomfortable in your stomach if you eat too much! ”

Jin Ran didn't dare to disobey Zhang's words, she knew that if she dared to say more, Zhang would have to pack up her baggage and go to live in the county lord's mansion with her. At that time, I would definitely be eaten alive by my father.

Jin Ran shuddered. In order not to be cleaned up by his father, Jin Ran was also very well-behaved in the future. In the end, I finally finished this very difficult lunch. In the end, she finally got the permission of the Zhang family, and planned to return to the county lord's mansion with her four grandmothers.

As soon as Jin Ran left the gate of the Sheng Mansion, she was blocked by another wave of people who had already targeted her.

It's Xiao Qingyan.

Xiao Qingyan only learned that Jin Ran was sick this morning. He didn't have eyeliner in the county lord's mansion, but in the morning Li Ying sent someone to the Xiao Mansion to apologize, saying that the meeting originally scheduled for today was postponed for a few days because of Jin Ran's illness, and Xiao Qingyan knew that Jin Ran had a fever after returning to the county lord's mansion.

Although Li Ying's post did not blame Xiao Qingyan for not reminding him in time, Xiao Qingyan himself understood that he couldn't say that there was nothing wrong with this.

In fact, from the moment he learned that Jin Ran was sick in the morning, Xiao Qingyan had already begun to secretly blame himself for why he didn't put on an extra piece of clothing for Jin Ran when he helped Jin Ran downstairs. He blamed himself a little, he was so careful that he was sloppy with Jin Ran, and Jin Ran had a fever.

So Xiao Qingyan went straight to the county lord's mansion early in the morning, but unfortunately he happened to miss Jinran who returned to the Sheng Mansion. However, Xiao Qingyan didn't give up, he simply chased Jin Ran all the way to the Sheng Mansion and made up his mind to see Jin Ran today.

Jin Ran was a little surprised by Xiao Qingyan's arrival: "Young Master Xiao? Why are you here? To wait for me? Or did you come to my third brother? ”

I shouldn't be that familiar with Xiao Qingyan? But this Xiao Gongzi feels that he has a good relationship with my third brother on weekdays. Jin Ran secretly pondered, this Xiao Gongzi is probably here to find my third brother.

She said earnestly: "Young Master Xiao, do you want me to order someone to help you report and leave a message?" Today, my third brother went with my father outside the city, and he is not there. ”

Xiao Qingyan was choked by Jin Ran, what could he say, did he want him to honestly tell Jin Ran that he was dating someone else's brother for her and saving the country?

Xiao Qingyan silently chose to shut up, what he really meant in his heart was that he definitely couldn't talk to Jin Ran.

Xiao Qingyan smiled at Jin Ran like a gentle breeze: "I came to Sheng Mansion for you." I heard that yesterday you caught a cold because you were drunk, and your body was hot. Are you feeling better now? While speaking, Xiao Qingyan stepped forward and gently touched Jinran's forehead.

His actions were smooth and natural, as if touching the woman's forehead was not an intimate act, just ordinary concern: "Hmm...... It's not hot to the touch, but it still can't blow the wind. ”

Xiao Qingyan said, and invited Jin Ran to his carriage: "Lord Jinrui, I also had part of the reason why you were sick yesterday. I'll take you for a casual walk today, and I'll make amends to you. ”

He saw that Jin Ran showed a look of refusal, and naturally added another sentence: "It just so happens that the embroidery craftsmen in my shop are here, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's go and see it today and finalize this deal." ”

Since Xiao Qingyan had already said about this transaction, Jin Ran was also a little moved.

She really wants to make a quick decision, and if she misses this one, she doesn't know how long it will take. Now that this draft is approaching day by day, if it is delayed day by day, according to his slow progress, it is very likely that he will not be able to earn a penny and lose a lot of money.

Thinking of the lot of principal he had invested, Jin Ran's heart sank, and the balance in his heart couldn't help but be biased a lot.

And now Zhang and Fang Tianji are looking at themselves very strictly, and they don't know when the next time they go out.

Xiao Qingyan's series of actions did not have the slightest disobedience, and even were very natural. Jin Ran, who wanted to question him why he made such a move, was also a little difficult to speak, after all, Xiao Qingyan only touched his forehead, and just to touch his head was still hot.

After such a comparison, Jin Ran still plans to go on this trip with Xiao Qingyan. She tried her best to ignore the sense of disobedience in her heart, and got into the car with Xiao Qingyan.

Jin Ran didn't see it, Xiao Qingyan stood behind him, sniffing carefully the hand that touched Jin Ran's forehead, the smile of satisfaction.
