Ah Yan remembered that in the previous life, she pushed the Nine Emperor Princes into the water and rescued him, but she was also embarrassed, and naturally she was discovered.

After she returned, she was also punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, but not long after kneeling, the eldest lady came to intercede and pardoned her.

When Ah Yan recalled, he couldn't help but wonder why the eldest wife in the previous life came to save herself, but she didn't come in this life.

I'm afraid that in the previous life, because I wanted to annex the third wife's dowry, in the end, I was weak-hearted, so under the crying and pleading of the third wife, I came to make a favor, right?

The servant woman who followed was also a difficult person to get along with, and looked around, but said: "Third girl, since the ancestor ordered you to kneel all night, it is no wonder that we are not in good shape, we were originally obedient to orders." Now that he has received this order, he does not dare to disobey, and he has to watch from the sidelines. ”

When Ah Yan heard this, he laughed, but instead of kneeling, he bent down and groped for his shoes.

The servant woman was a little surprised when she saw her like this, and said in a shrill voice: "What is the third girl going to do? Isn't it to disobey orders? If so, I have to go back and report to the old lady that I know." ”

Ah Yan still didn't answer, but after a while, he saw that she seemed to exert a lot of strength, pulled suddenly, and then lifted up.

The servant woman couldn't see her doing something like this, so she became more and more angry and said: "This is in front of the ancestors, does the third girl have to disobey the old lady's order?"

Ayan looked back, smiled at her, and handed the servant a gold bead that she had just broken off from the shoe: "There is nothing on me for a while, but there is one on this shoe, but it is a real gold, if this mother does not dislike it, take it." ”

When the servant woman heard this, she looked suspiciously at Ah Yan's hand, and when she saw the golden beads under the candle flame, she seemed to be blind, and hurriedly took it, looked back and forth, and put it in her mouth to bite.

Ayan said lightly: "It's just a bead, what should be important, if my mother likes it, go to my room in the future, and I'll find it for you." ”

With just one sentence, the servant's gaze suddenly changed when she looked at Ah Yan.

His eyes shone brightly, with a bit of vigilance, admiration, and greed.

In fact, it's no wonder that she was just a coarse servant next to the old lady, and the man is also a coarse servant in the house, and the monthly money that the family earns every month will not exceed three taels of silver

Just such a gold bead is enough for them to chew for a year.

What's more, between the words of these three girls, it turned out that there would be another one in the future!!

For a while, I remembered the gossip in the tea room, saying that among the three rooms now, the big room and the second room are all empty shelves, and only the third room has a rich family background!

The servant woman's eyes flashed with greed at the moment, and she put away her original fierce and vicious appearance, carefully put the gold bead into her sleeve, but laughed with her, and said carefully: "Third girl, you look at today's incident, although the old lady wants to punish it, but you have little arms and legs, who can bear to treat you like this." It's just that the old lady can't hide it from me, and she always has to make a show. ”

Seeing that she was an intellectual, Ah Yan nodded with satisfaction and said, "I know this, and I won't embarrass my mother, but I just ask my mother to make it convenient, don't be too embarrassed." I'm so young, if I really want to kneel down this night, I'm afraid that this leg will be ruined here. ”

Hearing this, the servant woman looked at the three girls in front of her, but she also felt a little sympathy, and immediately hurriedly said: "Isn't it, if it is according to me, this punishment is too heavy!"

As she was talking, Xiqing hurriedly ran over, but she was holding a few soft cushions.

Seeing this, the servant woman wanted to please Ah Yan, so she also helped to get the thickest one and spread it on the ground, and when she saw this, she didn't ask anything, but tied two small soft cushions to Ah Yan's knees with ropes.

Xiqing whispered again: "Mrs. I'm afraid I won't dare to close my eyes tonight, but it's not good to come here, I'm afraid that the old lady's people will see it, so I'll send soup to the girl later, and then I'm going to leave." But I'll sneak over tonight, and if the girl needs anything, I'll get it for you." ”

Ah Yan's knees were wrapped at this time, and the ground was soft, so he began to kneel there, and he really didn't feel uncomfortable under this kneeling.

smiled and said to Xiqing: "You go back and tell your wife, just say don't worry." My mother here is kind and will take care of me naturally. You can just bring me a food box later, and send me more food, and preferably some more food. ”

Food and drink?

Xiqing was stunned for a moment, but looking at her girl's determined face, she didn't say anything.

I don't know when it started, this arrogant little girl in the past has become very thoughtful, and even his wife has to listen to her on weekdays.

Xiqing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back first, and I'll come to deliver the food box later." ”

When Xiqing left, Ah Yan knelt there leisurely, looking at the solemn tablets in front of her, thinking that the tablets here were all ancestors of the past dynasties, that is, her ancestors.

But I don't know if it's because of the reliving of a lifetime, she has no respect for these tablets.

In fact, since she was sensible, the ancestor was in charge of the Jingguo Mansion, and several men in the family were her elder brothers.

The old ancestor is eccentric, and has been crowded out of the third room a lot, the eldest wife is a harsh one, and the second wife is a person who doesn't ask about everything, she really has no sense of belonging to this Jingguo Mansion, and she has no respect for this ancestor.

After kneeling for a long time, she casually asked the servant woman beside her: "What is your name, and where is the man to help?"

When the servant woman got the gold beads, she treated Ah Yan very attentively, and said with a smile: "The little woman's man's surname is Liu, and everyone else calls me Sister-in-law Liu. ”

Ah Yan nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Who else is there in the family besides the two of you?"

The sister-in-law Liu hurriedly smiled and said: "The little woman has a thin life, and now she only has a daughter, and others call her Liu Ye'er, who is fourteen this year." Now I have nothing to do, so I am idle at home. ”

Ah Yan smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Liu also knows that my third room has never been looked down upon by the old lady, but now I think Sister-in-law Liu is a good one, and I want to help you, but I don't dare to show it." If Sister-in-law Liu is willing, I will look for an opportunity to let your Liu Ye'er go to the third wife's room to serve. ”

When Sister-in-law Liu heard this, she was overjoyed, and she knelt down beside Ah Yan and thanked her.

Because of this promise, this sister-in-law Liu worked harder and harder for Ah Yan, so she told everything she knew: "Third girl, I'm afraid that the old lady will still send someone to see when she turns around, and when the time comes, she will have to deal with the girl, be careful not to cause trouble." But as long as the girl endured the Shen time, the old lady rested, and no one else had anything to worry about this. At that time, if the girl is tired, she will simply find a place to lie down in this ancestral hall, and it doesn't matter. ”

Ah Yan nodded: "Yes." ”

Sister-in-law Liu was already wholeheartedly trying to feast for Ah Yan at this time, so she said again: "If the girl is tired, sit here for a while, I will go outside to control the wind, if someone comes, I will say hello, and the girl will kneel, how about it?"

Ah Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile and said, "Excellent, you are a clever person." ”

Sister-in-law Liu hurriedly said: "Girl, don't boast, these things that violate the yang and yin are not less done on weekdays." ”

Saying that, Sister-in-law Liu went to the door of the ancestral hall to stand.

After a while, I heard the sound of talking outside, but it was Xiqing who came with a little maid, carrying a food box and holding a futon in her arms.

Xiqing first put the food box there and let Ah Yan eat, Ah Yan was already hungry after being tossed like this now, and he devoured a few pine nut cakes at the moment, and was hungry for longan eight-treasure porridge, so he felt more comfortable in his stomach.

Seeing that there were still some pastries left, Ah Yan beckoned to Sister-in-law Liu and said, "If Sister-in-law Liu doesn't dislike it, she will eat these few, right?"

Sister-in-law Liu stepped forward and said with a smile: "I'm not hungry, but this pine nut cake looks exquisite, much more fragrant than ordinary home-made, I'm afraid I haven't eaten willow leaves in my family." ”

Xiqing looked at this sister-in-law Liu, and didn't think about it for a moment, her own girl actually let this sister-in-law Liu vote for herself, and when she heard this, she smiled and said: "It's just a few pine nut cakes, what's the matter, sister-in-law Liu quickly put it away, go back and take it back to your Liu Ye'er to taste." If you like it, go to our yard and ask for it, and there are. ”

This sister-in-law Liu was very useful in her heart, and said with a smile: "Then I'm not welcome." ”

He immediately stepped forward, carefully wrapped the pine nut cakes with a handkerchief, and then put them in his arms.

Ah Yan squatted there, coldly watching this sister-in-law Liu clean up the pine nut cake, but she thought in her heart that all parents in the world love their children. Even though she is a rough servant woman, even if she will make a stubborn face in front of outsiders, she is actually a motherly heart in the face of her children.

I thought for a while, for that Liu Ye'er, I am afraid that I don't know that her mother is greedy in front of her and her face when she sees the wind and rudder, but she only thinks that this mother is very good.

After thinking about it again, I knew what it was, I was afraid that my son didn't think his mother was ugly, and he still felt that his mother was very good, and no one could compare.

The so-called greed and seeing the wind to steer the rudder were originally just used to being slaves, so they learned an instinct.

Ah Yan thought about it, and with this level of cognition, he suddenly remembered how his mother was crying and helpless in front of the old lady today.

In fact, there is such a timid and cowardly mother, how can it not be a headache, I am afraid that Ayan in the previous life also quietly envied why others have a mother who can take charge of the family business, right?

It's just that now that he has relived his life, and after seeing this sister-in-law Liu again, Ayan suddenly saw it.

It's really not a mother who is ugly, but no matter how cowardly the mother is, she is always her mother, and a heart that thinks about her wholeheartedly is always right.

That being the case, she must cherish it even more.

With this level of understanding, Ayan felt more and more that he should cope with this hurdle so as not to worry his mother.
