The original good mood disappeared without a trace because of Duan Nianyun. All the way back to Tingyu Pavilion, Yan Lingyue was still angry, and she didn't even eat much dinner.

Early the next morning. Mr. Yan came over and brought four girls, saying that the old lady asked them to send them.

Yan Lingyue looked around and saw that several girls were around twelve or thirteen years old.

Mr. Yan said, "They were bought by the slaves from Ya Pozi yesterday, and they are very immature." ”

The implication is that these girls have not been trained by others, and she can completely train them to be her cronies.

Indeed, Yan Lingyue is only Mama Li by her side, and she does seem a little thin. After marrying the Nine Emperor Princes and entering the palace, how could there be no trustworthy person beside him.

The old lady was afraid that she had also thought of this, so she asked Manager Yan to send a few newcomers. Yan Lingyue accepted this kindness.

Several girls are all from other places, and they are very unfamiliar with everything in the imperial city, and they only know that the master they have to serve is the fifth lady of Prime Minister Yan's mansion, and she is about to become the concubine of the Nine Emperors. The girls have never seen anything in the world, and their first reaction when they saw Yan Lingyue was to kneel and kowtow.

For training maids, Mama Li is a good hand.

Yan Lingyue directly handed over the girls to Mama Li, and explained by the way, "It's a material that can be made, so I'll stay and serve." If anyone has other thoughts, let him be driven out of the house. ”

Yan Lingyue said these words, and did not avoid those girls. To put it bluntly, it's for the four of them.

When several girls heard that they might be kicked out, they became cautious at the moment. They finally entered the Yan Mansion, found an errand, and put on such clean clothes, but they didn't want to go back to wandering on the street.

"Slaves and maidservants must serve the young lady with all their hearts."

Yan Lingyue nodded, but what she was actually thinking about was how to contact Lao Wang.

She also knew that she should calm down, after all, she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Moreover, revenge is not something that can be accomplished overnight. But whenever she heard Zhou Ziyu say how his father was, she couldn't help but be anxious.

Mama Li saw that Yan Lingyue's face was full of sorrow, and she was worried that her young lady would be sick, so she suggested whether she wanted to go around the street.

Thinking that there was nothing to do, Yan Lingyue instructed Chief Yan to prepare a carriage.

A few of the new maids did not take them out, but only arranged a place for them to live, so that they could familiarize themselves with the Listening Rain Pavilion.

Yan Lingyue took Mama Li out of the door.

For the first time since she woke up, she went out shopping by herself. In her previous life, she was the princess of Beiyan, and she almost never even went out of the palace gate, let alone had such close contact with these gadgets. Now that she has an opportunity, Yan Lingyue simply pulled Mama Li out of the carriage and asked the groom to wait for her at Yixiang Restaurant later.

Rock sugar gourd, glutinous rice cake, small sugar man...... Walking all the way to buy all the way and eat all the way, Yan Lingyue was in a good mood.

Mama Li saw that Yan Lingyue was so happy, and then thought of the suffering that her young lady had suffered for so many years, and just wanted her to have more fun, "Miss, you see that there are bean paste buns sold in front of you." "Mama Li knows that her young lady has liked to eat bean paste buns since she was a child.

The fifth lady of the Yan family likes it, which doesn't mean that Yan Lingyue also likes it, but since Mama Li said it, Yan Lingyue simply bought two. But before the steaming bun was delivered to his mouth, he was snatched away by two and a half children running from the opposite side.

Yan Lingyue was almost pushed down.

Mama Li helped her own young lady, and she was angry, "Which little rabbit is this, why are you so ignorant?" After Yan Lingyue stood firm, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to chase after her.

Yan Lingyue hurriedly stopped Mama Li, and said at the same time, "Boss, here are two more steamed buns." ”

Although Mama Li didn't understand why her young lady bought so much, she still counted enough copper coins and handed them to the vendors.

After taking the buns, Yan Lingyue strode into a small alley on the corner of the street.

After Mama Li followed, she saw that the two children who had just grabbed the buns were squatting in the corner and gobbling up.

"Eat slowly, don't choke. Here, these are all yours," Yan Lingyue bent down and said to the two children.

The two children were stunned at first, and after making sure that the buns were for them, their eyes lit up. snatched the bun and ran away.

"These two children, I don't even know how to say thank you," Mama Li was about to ask her young lady to leave, but she didn't expect the two children to come back. One of the children grabbed Yan Lingyue's arm and ran deeper into the alley.

"Let it go! What do you little bunnies want to do? Mama Li's heart tightened, and she hurriedly chased after the child and dragged her.

The other child ran forward and kicked Mama Li hard.

While Mama Li was in pain, the two children worked together and dragged Yan Lingyue to continue running deep into the alley.

"Miss!" Mama Li panicked, so she could only follow after her with a limp.

I don't know why, Yan Lingyue always felt that these two children did not harm her.

At the end of the alley, there is a row of courtyards. The two children dragged her and ran to the third household on the right, and knocked on the door with a "bang", "Grandma, we're back, open the door quickly." ”

"Coming, coming," with a creak, the courtyard door opened, and a middle-aged woman in her forties walked out with a smile on her face.

Mama Li, who had just caught up, gasped for breath and protected Yan Lingyue behind her, "Bold, in broad daylight, you actually dare to hold our young lady hostage!" ”

The smile on the middle-aged woman's face froze, she looked at Mama Li, and then at Yan Lingyue, puzzled, "Xiaohu, Ah Fei, what's going on?" ”

The two children handed the big white bun wrapped in oiled paper to the middle-aged woman as if offering treasures, "Grandma, this sister bought it for us." ”

The middle-aged woman didn't take the bun, but just looked at Mama Li with an apologetic face, "Please don't be angry, I think there must be some misunderstanding here, or let's go into the courtyard and talk about it." The middle-aged woman leaned sideways and stretched out her hand to please.

Mama Li protected Yan Lingyue like an eagle guarding a chicken, lest she worry that there would be an ambush in the yard.

The woman was a little helpless, "We are really not bad people! ”

"It's out of the way, Mama," Yan Lingyue pulled Mama Li's sleeve and said to the woman with a smile, "Mama is very protective of the master, and I hope that the eldest lady will not mind." ”

At this time, Xiaohu and Ah Fei glanced at each other. The two joined forces, one pushed Mama Li away, and the other dragged Yan Lingyue's arm and walked into the courtyard.

"Hey, what are you going to do?" Mama Li stumbled and almost fell.

The middle-aged woman hurriedly hugged Mama Li and scolded the two children, "How does Grandma usually teach you, how can you be so rude?" ”

"Please rest assured, we really have no ill intentions," the woman said apologetically to Mama Li again.

Mama Li is not an unreasonable person, seeing that the middle-aged woman is so sincere, it is not easy to be dissatisfied in her heart, so she can only follow Yan Lingyue into the courtyard. As soon as I entered the door, I saw two children pouring water for their young lady.

"Xiaohu, Ah Fei, come and apologize to Mama," the middle-aged woman beckoned to the two children.

"No, she was the one who chased after us and called the little bunny first," the little tiger pouted and turned his back.

Ah Fei grimaced at Mama Li.

After making sure that these people in front of her had no malicious intent, Mama Li also softened her attitude, "If you hadn't robbed my young lady's bean paste bag first, why would I be chasing you with an old woman?" ”

"What? Are you going to grab food again? The middle-aged woman's face darkened.

"We're hungry, Grandma," Xiaohu and Ah Fei both lowered their heads.

The middle-aged woman picked up the strip on the ground and was about to teach the two children a lesson.

Yan Lingyue hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

Originally, she was still wondering how she could afford to live in such a good house, but she couldn't even eat enough. After some exchanges, she learned that the middle-aged woman's name was Wang Jinglan, and she was not from the capital. Three years ago, she and her husband's family and two children came to Beijing to make a living, but they were attacked by robbers, only she survived, but she was also seriously injured and hid in a small ruined temple on the outskirts of Beijing. It was Xiaohu and Ah Fei who found her on the way to beg, not only gave her the steamed buns they begged for, but also stole other people's silver in order to invite her to Langzhong.

Fortunately, the two children met a kind person, and when they learned that they had stolen the silver to save people, they not only did not report to the official, but also took the initiative to invite a doctor. In order to facilitate Wang Jinglan's recuperation, the kind-hearted people even took them to live in this small courtyard, and also sent two children to the school to study and read.

About half a year ago, this well-wisher seemed to have an accident at home and wanted to leave the capital for a while, but before leaving, he also gave Wang Jinglan two hundred taels of silver. It stands to reason that this silver saves a little flower, which is enough for the three of them to live for two or three years, who would have thought that Xiaohu later became seriously ill, and then the hospital was robbed again, and the family became destitute.

During this period, Wang Jinglan also went out to do odd jobs a few times, but unfortunately she was left with sequelae after that serious injury, and she often suffered from dizziness, and she couldn't earn a few copper coins at all. The two children felt sorry for Wang Jinglan, and they didn't even go to school, and often begged for food nearby.

"How many times has Grandma said that you can beg, but you can't rob, why don't you listen?" Wang Jinglan scolded and scolded, her eyes turned red, "It's all because Grandma's body doesn't work, it's Grandma's fault." ”

As soon as Wang Jinglan cried, the two children were also scared, "I'm sorry, grandma, it's all our fault, we won't grab food in the future." "Xiaohu, Ah Fei also apologized to Mama Li.

Mama Li has already been moved, where is there anything to account.

"Grandma, don't be sad, we'll change it in the future," Xiaohu, Ah Fei took out the bun again and stuffed it into Wang Jinglan's hand, "Eat, Grandma, it's delicious." ”

Looking at the hot buns, Wang Jinglan kept thanking Yan Lingyue.

"Feelings, you two pulled me over just to let Grandma thank me?" Yan Lingyue rubbed the heads of the two children.

Xiaohu said, "By the way, let Grandma see how beautiful my sister is." ”

"Look at this little mouth and sweet mouth," Mama Li also smiled, pinched Xiaohu's face, and admonished, "But in the future, you can't just pull others away without saying a word." We don't know what you're going to do, in case we take you for an accomplice of the bad guys. This time, there are no guards around, and Mama is too old to catch up with you. If this were a different person, you two children would not be hurt. ”
