"Madam, the slave helped you out to have a look? Our yard is not ordinarily big, there are three entrances, and there are even two small cross-courtyards," Zhang Lan's personal maid Xianyun came in with a happy face, "Now the slave and the flying star don't have to squeeze together~"

Seeing the descendants of the Luo family, Zhang Lan couldn't help but sigh that the two girls she brought over were childish, and as soon as she came, she walked around, looking east and west, what would those people from the Luo Mansion think of themselves? "No need, I want to rest for a while, the days will be long~"

Zhang Lan has never put any master in front of Xianyun and Feixing, and Xianyun is not afraid of her, so she turned around and said, "Just now, Aunt Liu sent the slaves and maids over, and the slaves and maids thought that you must be impatient to see her, so they said that you are tired and have rested, this is only obtained by slaves and maids, this Hou Mansion is really different, the slaves and maids specially wore them to show their parents, where can we have such good satin in Jinzhou, "Jinzhou naturally has good fabrics, but according to their identities, it is not their turn to wear such materials, Xianyun is extremely satisfied with the Wu'an Hou Mansion."

"What clothes?" Zhang Lan raised her eyebrows suspiciously, looking at Xianyun with a happy face.

"It's for the slaves and maids, it's the rules of the house, and the people who come back with you will be given one person and two bodies first," Xianyun and Feixing are Zhang Lan's big maids, and Luo Qingrong specially instructed Aunt Liu to come according to the example of a first-class girl in the house.

Zhang Lan looked at the new suit of willow green thin satin daylily pattern armor, with a crescent moon white Luo skirt, Zhang Lan also has some knowledge, the fabric and the workmanship style are many times better than when they were in Jinzhou, and then look at the bright silver hairpin on her meniscus bun and the beads strung by rice grains, it seems that they are all new this time, no wonder Xianyun is so happy. Just thinking of Xianyun's breathless temperament and taking it upon herself not to let Aunt Liu enter the house, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Zhang Lan's heart.

"Yes, you and Feixing were brought over by me from Jinzhou, tell Mother Su, just be the first-class maid of this Qin Seju," Zhang Lan has been in the workplace for a long time, and she has also developed a pair of fiery eyes, whether it is the girl in the Qingtai Courtyard, or the girl next to Luo Qingrong, and the Aunt Liu, which one is a hundred times stronger than the person she brought over, this strength is not in appearance, but in temperament, she has to admit that what the people around her lack is that kind of temperament, but now, those people do not regard her as the master, The only thing she can rely on is a few old people who accompany her to the capital, "We are different now and when we were in Jinzhou, we must be extra careful when we speak and act, so as not to be seen as a joke, and Aunt Liu will come back in the future, let her in~"

Why? Xianyun was a little puzzled, "Although you only came today, but this Hou Mansion, you are the serious master, who will not act according to your eyes in the future?" Madam, you are too careful, that Aunt Liu, the slave maid has already inquired, and the Hou Ye didn't want to see her before, if she didn't give birth to a young master, where could she be promoted to an aunt? You don't have to pay attention to her, so you don't have to add to your blockage~"

Jin Lingyun was almost sent back to her parents' house by herself, and now she has become a peacemaker, that Yiliu, Zhang Lan didn't care about it at all, but she didn't bother to reason with these women whose eyes were only the size of a pin's nose, and waved her hand to signal Xianyun to go out.

I got up and walked to the floor mercury mirror in the corner, such a dressing mirror is nothing if it is in the previous life, but here, it is extremely rare, she looks closely at her slender figure and youthful and beautiful appearance in the mirror, this can be regarded as the welfare of the traverser, she is much more beautiful than in the previous life, especially when she is back to seventeen years old, Zhang Lan pinched the orchid finger and smiled at the person in the mirror, her appearance is not the most beautiful in this Luo Mansion, I want to come to this capital lady who is more beautiful than her, but she has not lost confidence, she understands, What she has is something that these frogs at the bottom of the well who have not gone out of the door since they were a child will never understand.

The east room made her living place, Zhang Lan slowly paced room by room, this Qin Seju is really gorgeous, beautifully furnished, a bed and a couch, a case and a frame are all treasures that are difficult to find.

After reading it again, Zhang Lan strengthened her judgment: her cheap daughter is by no means simple, although she carefully arranged the Shuli Courtyard, but she didn't want to live there at all, and this Qin Seju is the place she prepared for herself, otherwise she would not have hung the Guanyin statue of Gao Ruxian burning incense all day and the bead curtain that Luo Yuanpeng gave her in the main hall, thinking about this, Zhang Lan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, she didn't plan to be an enemy of Luo Qingrong at all, even if she wanted to make enemies, her enemies were Aunt Liu, Aunt Jin, and Mrs. Luo, It won't be Luo Qingrong, in her eyes, Luo Qingrong is just a poor little girl raised without any blood relationship, and it is precisely because she has no relatives to take care of her that she has scheming and calculations that do not match her age.

It is precisely because of these scheming and calculations that she likes and feels sorry for this beautiful little girl, as for Luo Qingrong's calm and calm head, there is no innocence and liveliness that an eight-nine-year-old girl should have, so it is easy to understand, how many children from single-parent families are sunny? Zhang Lan believes that over time, Luo Qingrong understands herself, and when she understands that she has no bad intentions towards her, she will definitely like herself, if it really doesn't work, then forget it, she doesn't have the patience to be a good stepmother, anyway, there is no shortage of Luo Qingrong's food and drink in this family, as long as she doesn't treat her harshly, she will marry her out when she is old.

She is not afraid that Luo Qingrong will drive a wedge between herself and Luo Yuanpeng, of course, some children who oppose their parents' remarriage will do this in modern times. But she believes in her weight in Luo Yuanpeng's heart, even if she directly proposes that she doesn't like Shuliyuan, Luo Yuanpeng will rely on herself, although Gao Ruxian is Luo Yuanpeng's wife, in Luo Yuanpeng's description of her, she is also full of praise and gratitude to her wife, but praise and gratitude are not love, Zhang Lan is very confident in this, under the feudal system, how many ancients who married blindly and dumbly have experienced what love is like? Just look at Luo Yuanpeng's obsession with herself now, a thirty-year-old man is completely a little boy who has never tasted love, and emotionally, he is still a virgin.

"It's rare for her to be so reasonable," Mrs. Luo knew well about the arrangements of Shuli Yuan and Qin Seju, so she took the opportunity to praise Zhang Lan, a woman from a Penghu family, in addition to playing tricks, I am afraid that she is not even as good as her nine-year-old granddaughter, thinking of this, Mrs. Luo put her heart at ease, there is a way that "flowers are not red for a hundred days," she wants to see how long her son can be loved? !

Listening to his mother's exaggeration, Luo Yuanpeng was also a little happy in his heart, and said, "Mother, don't look at her poor background, but her knowledge is incomparable to many official ladies, and her heart is even more noble, and she has poetry and books in her belly, she is a rare talented woman~"

"Talented girl?" Mrs. Luo was a little unimpressed, a fisherman girl was afraid that she could recognize the words, and she could give a few crooked poems, and she was afraid that her son, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, saw that the was also a double eyelid, "That dare is good, now it is wise, and the Zhide Dynasty is a rare prosperous age, the literary style is prosperous, it is a good thing that she has talent, and she will be stronger in front of the ladies of the various provinces in the future, but this woman is different from the girl's family who has not been out of the cabinet, and this director is the right thing~"

"Yes," Luo Yuanpeng bowed, and then smiled again, "Speaking of stewardship, I am not afraid of my mother's jokes, Zhang's is very clear in the accounts, and more than a dozen old account rooms are not as fast as her," Luo Yuanpeng has seen this, Zhang Lan only uses to write and draw on paper, and she can actually be faster than the abacus of those old account rooms, which can also be called a must."

Is it enough for a housekeeper to just settle accounts quickly? Isn't the housekeeper a bookkeeper? Old Madam Luo disagreed again, but Luo Yuanpeng had never suffered a loss, and it was when the couple was clear, he would not listen to what he said, but would be annoying, "Since you said so, then I am relieved." ”

"In my opinion, the second aunt's housekeeper let go in advance, and it is only serious to learn the rules first," Luo Ayajin did not hide the disdain in his eyes, at least the rules are not clear, and when he opens his mouth, he will be able to manage the accounts, which is unbearable!

Luo Yuanpeng wanted to teach this niece a lesson, but although he was full of disdain, he still called "second aunt" in his mouth, did he want him to say that you were not allowed to look down on him? What's more, Zhang Lan did a bit rude when she gave tea to her mother today, "She grew up in a remote place like Jinzhou, although Zhang Shangjing has achieved five grades, in fact, she is also from a civilian background, and there is really no way to compare with the women in our Beijing in terms of upbringing, and I ask my mother to guide her more in the future," Luo Yuanpeng said sincerely, if his wife's reputation for unfilial piety is spread, it will be difficult for his wife to gain a foothold in the circle of noblewomen.

No matter how good his wife is, in the end, there are still fewer people in the world, although Luo Yuanpeng is very disdainful of what is noble and noble, thinking that they are just mediocre talents who are eating their old books, and they have no real ability to earn fame, so they are holding on to what family and refusing to let go, but he has to admit that he only went so smoothly, and the merits of his father's generation are inseparable, those civilian-born generals have never even had the opportunity to be the boss in their lives, and he will be an official in the capital in the future, and the role of his wife cannot be ignored," Zhang's etiquette rules are indeed a little worse, and the grandmother invited when he came is not very reliable, if the mother is a useful person, please help one or two, after all, it is related to the face of our Luo family~"

People are so strange, but they can't lose what they look down on, Mrs. Luo sneered in her heart, "She is already your daughter-in-law, at this time, I invited the upbringing aunt in the palace with great fanfare, and I didn't have to lose your face, so let's do it, the Queen Mother specially rewarded Aunt Lan for teaching Sister Rong'er, so she let her have time to help your daughter-in-law, but I'm afraid that the Hou Ye will think that it's my mother-in-law who will put someone next to you~"

"Son doesn't dare," Luo Yuanpengjun's face turned red, using people on the battlefield and guarding against people, that was to eat a defeat, but he couldn't see it clearly in the inner house, "The son must have told the Zhang family to follow Aunt Lan to study hard, "According to Zhang Lan's intelligence, he should be able to get started soon."

Looking at Luo Qingrong's demeanor, Luo Yuanpeng naturally knew in his heart that this Aunt Lan was a good one, so he hurriedly got up and thanked Mrs. Luo, and the two chatted about the affairs of the court for a while before Luo Yuanpeng said goodbye and left.
