Later, my great-grandmother told my great-grandfather about Xiaolan. As for these things, after my great-grandmother took my grandfather back to her parents' house this time, she listened to the maid Xiaoxiang next to her tell her intermittently.

Here's the thing: When Xiaolan was seventeen years old, that is, the year when my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother got married, Cai Wenye personally promised to give Xiaolan a free body, and as long as Xiaolan wanted to marry, Cai's mansion would prepare a rich dowry for her.

Since the day of the fight, Xiaolan has been obsessed with it and secretly looked for the person she likes. Because Xiaolan's parents died, her uncle and aunt sold her into Cai's mansion, her uncle and aunt were a kind break for her, and it can also be said that she has no relatives at this time, and it is no longer realistic for her to want relatives outside the house to find her in-law's house, and besides, she often does not leave the house, and there are no acquaintances outside the house, so she finds her favorite person in Cai's mansion herself.

When she was eighteen years old, she really found one, the florist in Cai's mansion, one year older than Xiaolan, and the florist was nineteen years old.

Since my great-grandmother married my great-grandfather, Xiaolan has been in charge of serving my great-grandmother's mother, Li, sometimes Xiaolan accompanies Li in the garden to enjoy the flowers, the little florist just prunes the flowers and plants in the garden, the two of them peek at each other a few times, Xiaolan is very beautiful, the little florist is also good, maybe they both like each other.

Later, Xiaolan ran to the garden whenever she had time and asked the little gardener about raising flowers, but in fact, it was all an excuse, mainly to see her own crush. The little florist, his love for Xiaolan is no less than that of Xiaolan for him, the two of them are happy and love each other, and it didn't take long for the two of them to get better.

Later, many people in Caifu saw this pair of little mandarin ducks in the garden at night, and from time to time they could hear Xiaolan's happy laughter, which was very affectionate and envious of others.

This matter quickly spread to Cai Wenye and the Li family, and the Li family said to Cai Wenye, it seems that Xiaolan wants to get married, and it is necessary to prepare a dowry for her in advance. Xiaolan is also very fond of the Li family, and the Li family has always treated her as half a daughter.

But less than two months after Li said this, that is, when Xiaolan and the little florist were just about to propose marriage to Cai Wenye, the little florist was sick, and it was an inexplicable strange disease.

The death of the little florist is undoubtedly a blow to Xiaolan who is in love, and her mood and pain at that time can be imagined.

In the next two months after the death of the little gardener, many people in Cai's mansion could hear Xiaolan's heartbroken cry in the garden at night, which was sad for the hearers and weeping for the listeners......

Later, Xiaolan had mental problems, the whole person seemed withdrawn and gloomy, sometimes she hid in a place where no one was talking to herself, sometimes she was fine, she cried when she said she was crying, and even laughed while crying, laughing when she cried, which was scary and weird.

Cai Wenye and his wife saw Xiaolan like this, and they were distressed and had a headache, so they asked Lang Zhong to show her, and Lang Zhong said after reading it, Xiaolan is a matter of heart, and it doesn't work to prescribe medicine, and heart disease still needs heart medicine.

Cai Wenye and his wife are combined, Xiaolan's heart disease is in the little florist, the little florist is dead, what should I do? Later, the couple thought about finding Xiaolan's in-laws, and maybe after finding her in-laws, her heart disease would naturally be solved.

There are not too many men of the same age as Xiaolan in the county, and later the old housekeeper Cai Zhang inquired that the son of the owner of a cloth shop in the east of the city has not yet married, and the family is quite wealthy, but his son is average, this is twenty years old, two years older than Xiaolan, I feel that the age is quite appropriate, Cai Wenye heard it, and asked the old housekeeper Cai Zhang to come to the door as a matchmaker.

The owner of the cloth shop saw that the old housekeeper of Cai's Mansion personally came to his son to tell the matchmaker, and felt that the face was enough, and Le's mouth couldn't close, and later heard Cai Zhang say that he was a matchmaker for the maid in Cai's Mansion, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Cai Zhang, the old housekeeper, said that this maid is like a daughter in the eyes of their old lady, and the dowry will not be less at all, and if the cloth shop owner has anything to do with their family in the future, Cai Fu will also help. When the cloth shop owner heard Cai Zhang say this, he laughed again.

A few days later, the owner of the cloth shop took his son to Cai's mansion to give a dowry and choose a date.

On the day of the dowry, Xiaoxiang secretly led Xiaolan to hide in the side hall according to Li's instructions, and let Xiaolan look at her future husband through the crack in the door.

Xiaolan's madness attacks at this time are getting less and less, maybe she wants to leave Cai's Mansion one day earlier, leaving this sad place that makes her miss and suffer. The son of the cloth shop owner, although he looked average, was quite satisfied with Xiaolan, and nodded in acquiescence. That's it, this family business is settled.

As I write here, some people may say, is a maid also qualified to pick and choose? It stands to reason that the maid is a subordinate and is not qualified to pick and choose, but it depends on whose maid it is, the Cai family is second to none in their county, and the maid is also nobler than the daughters of ordinary people.

In the days of waiting for her to get married, Xiaolan never got sick again, almost the same as before, cheerful, lively, and smiling...... It seems that this medicine is the right one for Cai Wenye and his wife.

It's just that at night, those night watchmen occasionally see Xiaolan alone in the garden, walking around the flowers and plants, and sometimes whispering something to the flowers and plants, but there is no such crying phenomenon. People in the house speculated that maybe she hadn't let go of the little florist in her heart, or maybe she was saying goodbye to the little florist.

Seeing that the day of marrying the son of the cloth shop owner was getting closer and closer, Cai's house was busy buying her a dowry. Still at such a juncture, there was news from the cloth shop owner that he regretted his marriage and did not want the dowry, and the housekeeper Cai Zhang found the cloth shop owner and said that the cloth shop owner did not want Xiaolan's daughter-in-law.

Cai Wenye and his wife had no choice but to comfort Xiaolan with kind words, and when there was a suitable opportunity, they would find another one for her.

This is undoubtedly another heavy blow to Xiaolan, she had the idea of suicide, if she hadn't been found early, she would have hanged herself in the big house where the maids were resting and sleeping.

Later, Xiaoxiang heard that she didn't know who in the house, so she secretly told the cloth shop owner that Xiaolan and the little florist had a good time, and because the florist's death was crazy and stupid for a while. When the cloth shop owner heard this, it turned out that Xiaolan still had such a "criminal record", even if she was better off with the gardener, she was still crazy, their son was not stupid, although he was a little older, he would not marry a madman.

That's it, the owner of the cloth shop regretted his marriage, said nothing, and returned it to the big matchmaker, that is, the old housekeeper Cai Zhang, and left a cruel sentence, my son just won't marry the crazy girl in your house, or you will call the second young master of your county government to arrest both of us.

What is it called? This is called, if you are not afraid of no good things, you are afraid that there are no good people.

In the following days, Xiaolan returned to the depressed state of the past, but it was much better than last time, at least she didn't cry anymore, but she didn't talk much every day, and she didn't have much contact with the people under the maids, as if she was self-enclosed, living in her own world, occasionally, she would still run to the garden at night, looking at those flowers and plants talking and crying......

asked what the world was like, and the straight people promised life and death, Xiaolan at this time was nineteen years old.

Two years later, Xiaolan was twenty-one years old. For a while, my great-grandmother's mother, Li, was ill, and Lang Zhong prescribed a few herbs to Li. Although Xiaolan lived in a self-enclosed world at this time, she knew very well who was good to her and who really cared for her, so she took the initiative to ask Ying to take on the matter of boiling medicine for Li's family.

At this time, Cai Mansion had just invited an old chef with superb cooking skills from outside, and the old cook also brought a little cook, that is, the aforementioned Zhang Jiang. This Zhang Jiang is one year younger than Xiaolan, twenty years old that year, and he is not bad, quite clever.

When Xiaolan went to the kitchen to boil medicine for the first time, Zhang Jiang was moved by Xiaolan's beauty and fell in love with Xiaolan, of course, Zhang Jiang didn't know Xiaolan's past.

After boiling more than a dozen pairs of medicines, Xiaolan couldn't stand Zhang Jiang's entanglement, and gradually, she came out of the self-enclosed world, with a smile on her face, and the relationship with Zhang Jiang gradually warmed up from indifference to intimacy.

The matter of Xiaolan and Zhang Jiang was that after my great-grandmother and my great-grandfather came to Cai's mansion, Xiaoxiang took the time to quietly tell my great-grandmother, before I went to invite my great-grandfather to come to Caifu, my great-grandmother didn't know about Xiaolan and Zhangjiang, and few people in Cai's mansion knew about it except Xiaoxiang.

Xiaoxiang also told my grandmother that Xiaolan had made a private agreement with Zhang Jiang for life before her disappearance, and gave her body to Zhang Jiang. Why does Xiaoxiang know this, because in Cai's mansion, the only one who can say a word to Xiaolan is this Xiaoxiang.

At this point, my great-grandmother told my great-grandfather all about Xiaolan. My great-grandmother went on to say that after Xiaolan disappeared, someone from the yamen came to check and found that Xiaolan had gone out once on the night of August 15, but she came back soon. According to Xiaoxiang, after the banquet on August 15 was dispersed, when the maids went back to their rooms to sleep, they found Xiaolan lying on her bed and clothes, her eyes looking at the beams of the room in a daze, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

The yamen also found out that on the night of August 15, the little cook Zhang Jiang also left the house for the last time, Zhang Jiang walked on the front foot, and Xiaolan followed out on the back foot. It's just that Xiaolan returned soon, and Zhang Jiang didn't return home until the early morning of the next day.

What did the two of them do when they went out of the house, no one knows
