Just after the beginning of the year, the big girl of Chonghua Courtyard, Cinnabar, stood under the edge of the corridor and looked at Dongfang Boxi, wondering if she should wait for a while and then ask her young lady to get up.

It was July, and the hot and humid people couldn't breathe for a few days, and it finally rained in the middle of the night, which dispelled some of the stuffiness, and it was the opportunity to sleep well, but when I thought of my girl's temperament, I would be unwilling, Cinnabar sighed, and lifted the curtain into the main room.

"Second girl, it's time to get up," Cinnabar whispered outside the black lacquered bed, and the other big girl, Rouge, brought in the prepared clothes.

"Well," Luo Qingrong had already woken up, but the weather was rarely cool, so she lay down for a while longer to think about her thoughts, just waiting for Cinnabar to call.

Although she is only nine years old, which is the age of sleeping, but once the habit of many years is formed, it is not so easy to change, if she remembers it well, and now it is only a little more than a month since her father and the woman returned, and she has not done many things.

Hearing the sound of Xi Xi Suosuo, Cinnabar stepped forward and hung the ink and ice silk light gauze tent with a gilt and beaded silver spoon, "Yi Nu said that this day is dawning early, in fact, it is only the beginning of the day~"

"I'm already awake left and right," Luo Qingrong got out of bed, and saw the nurse's rich mother come in, followed by a little girl who was holding a basin and holding a knot, and said with a smile, "Mom is early~"

"My girl," the rich mother picked up the crystal clear glass curtain and glanced at her daughter Cinnabar, "Didn't I say that I would call the girl later?" As he spoke, he took Luo Qingrong's hand, "The girl is growing up, she will sleep more with her son, and the old lady will hurt you again," I won't be picked on if I go late."

Luo Qingrong smiled slightly, looked directly at the goose-yellow flower and bird double-painted embroidered thin silk shirt and tea-white water skirt held by Rouge, nodded and walked behind the four rich spring deep red sandalwood screens, grandmother Mrs. Luo is not her own grandmother, but she is like her own child, and because of this, she also has to do better.

"Mom, don't complain about my sister, I can't sleep," Luo Qingrong sat down in front of the red sandalwood carved dressing table after being served by the little maid, "Grandmother treats me well, I should be more filial, right?" ”

His father Wu Anhou is just a concubine, if it weren't for the death of his uncle in the war, leaving only his cousin Luo Ayajin a daughter, even if his father has made great achievements, Wu Anhou's position will not be his turn, and Mrs. Luo, even if she regrets and is sad in her heart, she has never shown it in front of outsiders, Luo Qingrong is a person who has lived a lifetime, and naturally understands the difficulties and pains involved.

"My girl is the most sensible," the rich mother looked at the girl she brought up with one hand and now has grown into a budding little girl, and took the tooth comb in Cinnabar's hand with a look of relief, "The girl has thick hair, I will give the girl a fairy bun?" ”

"How old am I? It's better to comb your bun," Luo Qingrong didn't overdo it, refusing to bow down, "You rest, just let Sister Cinnabar come." ”

Seeing that she was unwilling, the rich mother was not reluctant, so she threw away her hand and sat next to Luo Qingrong, "I heard that you asked Steward Luo to re-order the deeds for each shop?" ”

"Those shops are about to expire, I'll ask Steward Luo to ask if anyone wants to rent our shop again," Luo Qingrong pursed his lips and smiled, watching Cinnabar open the rosewood lacquer hibiscus makeup box, and picked out a pair of crystal beads from it, "Just use this set, look cooler~" There are some things that a rich mother will never know, and she just wants to take precautions and be one step ahead of that woman before they happen.

"Is the girl up?" A cold female voice sounded, Luo Qingrong hurriedly got up, quickly glanced in front of the tall black lacquer and mercury mirror, and then greeted him.

"Qingrong has seen Aunt Lan," Aunt Lan was specially invited by Mrs. Luo's Qi family from her mother's sister Empress Dowager Qi's palace to teach her granddaughter etiquette, and she was half of Luo Qingrong's master and a female official of the seventh grade, so Luo Qingrong wanted to do a half-salute when she saw her.

"Give the old lady the collar to the girl," Aunt Lan glanced at Luo Qingrong and instructed Cinnabar, "Last year, the girl had already been filial piety, and she went to the old lady to ask for peace, it's too pure and bad~"

"Yes," Luo Qingrong felt a pang in his heart, he couldn't change his habits for many years, "Rouge,"

"The girl also said the same, our girl's appearance and identity, any kind of treasure can be suppressed," Rouge is also serving the old, hearing Aunt Lan speak, she has already opened a red lacquer flat box, and held a pure gold tasseled eight-treasure collar decorated with rubies in front of Luo Qingrong, her own young lady will never be tough in front of this Aunt Lan.

"Alright, let's go," Aunt Lan smiled with satisfaction, "Don't make the old lady wait." "I think it's because of my background, my student is much more docile than Luo Ayajin, the lord of Huayang County, who lives in the palace, and every move at a young age is elegant and indifferent, and he is obedient to his words.

"Old lady, the second lady is here," Zitang, the eldest girl in Qingtai Courtyard, smiled and picked up the bamboo curtain of Ruian Hall for Luo Qingrong, and said softly, "The old lady slept late at night, so she got up." ”

Luo Qingrong bowed slightly, thanked Zitang for her kindness, in this life, she knew the truth of a good man and three gangs, and she also knew how to make good connections, "It's me who came early, I heard that your brother is going to marry?" This is a big deal, if you need any help, just talk to the rich mother,"

While speaking, Cinnabar had already put the two purses in Zitang's hands, "This is a congratulatory gift from my girl and a few of us, Sister Zitang should not be disgusted~"

Zitang is a child of the family, but both parents died, only one brother is left on an errand in the outer courtyard, there is no old man Zhang Luo at home, seeing Luo Qingrong rewarding things, and said that he wanted the rich mother to come over to help, and hurriedly bent his knees and said, "Thank you for the reward, the slave maid is also worried that there is no elder in the family to guide her, and several old mothers in the courtyard are very busy, so I will bother the rich mother to get an idea, and when the sister-in-law enters the door, Zitang will take her to kowtow to the girl~"

"Rong'er come in," Mrs. Luo was combing her hair by Zili, and when she saw Luo Qingrong in the makeup mirror, she beckoned with a smile, "Can your girl sleep well at night?" "This is asking the cinnabar who followed Luo Qingrong.

"Back to the old lady's words, my girl slept soundly, and she got up at the beginning of the year," Cinnabar bent her knees.

"You girl, didn't I tell you to sleep more, even if you come late, I can still run away?" Mrs. Luo pulled Luo Qingrong to her side and took a closer look: the delicate and white face like porcelain has been peeled off the once slight baby fat, the pointed chin, the big apricot eyes, the curved eyebrows, the cherry lips are smiling, like the Youtanbo flowers in the Buddhist scriptures, exuding a quiet atmosphere, there is no childishness, Mrs. Luo was born in a family, and she has read countless people in her life, but she has to admit that she has never seen a few calm and generous girls like her second granddaughter in her life. Thinking of Luo Ayajin, the granddaughter who was raised by the side of the queen mother's sister and was worthy of being a leader among the nobles, although she was two years older than Luo Qingrong, she lacked this calm and calm.

"Didn't Rong'er not see her grandmother all night, and she panicked?" Luo Qingrong lay on the three-dimensional red sandalwood carved dressing table in front of Qi's family, and selected a gold-inlaid sapphire cloud bat hairpin for her, handed it to the purple pear, and said with a smile, "Grandmother looks best when she wears this~"

"You girl," Mrs. Luo affectionately pounded Luo's light and smooth forehead with her fingers, and motioned for Zili to insert it for her, "The mouth is sweet,"

"Isn't it?" Mama Li, who was beside Mrs. Luo, said with a smile, "Every day, with the second girl, the old lady can use an extra bowl of rice~"

"That granddaughter also came to eat with her grandmother at noon," Luo Qingrong looked at Mrs. Luo's withered face, and her heart darkened, if she remembered well, her grandmother didn't survive next winter, "Come over at night~"

Wu'an Houfu from Rong, from the Taizu years to the present, I don't know how many children and grandchildren blood spilled on the field, but also for this reason, the Luo family's heirs have not been prosperous, to this generation, the old marquis has three sons and one daughter, the eldest son of the old lady Qi died in Liaodong at the age of twenty, the title was attacked by Luo Yuanpeng, the second son of the concubine, and the third son Luo Yuanhu attacked the Wupinxiao cavalry captain, last year he was appointed as the commander of Dengzhou Wei, and brought his wife Cheng and a pair of children to go together, and the daughter of the concubine Luo Yuanlu married the second son of Bei'an Boyan as his wife, Because he followed his family back to his hometown in Anhui to guard filial piety, he has not been to Beijing for several years.

As soon as Luo Yuanhu's family left, Luo's old wife Qi was not in good health, Wu'an Houfa's wife Gao died four years ago, leaving only one daughter-in-law, Luo Qingrong, Wu'anhou Mansion had no one in charge, Qi was helpless, so he ordered Aunt Liu, who gave birth to Luo Yuanpeng's eldest son, Luo Xuchu, who stayed in the house, and Mama Li beside him, and Luo Qingrong was after filial piety last year, and proposed to follow Mama Li and Aunt Liu to learn housework, Qi thought that the girl was older, and she also wanted to be familiar with family affairs, so she agreed, who knew that it was only a year of hard work, Luo Qingrong is actually becoming more and more proficient, handling affairs in an orderly manner, Mama Li is worried about the old lady's body, so she simply gave Qi to the Qi family, handed over the family affairs to Luo Qingrong, and still went back to Qingtai Courtyard to wait.

Therefore, every day after breakfast, Luo Qingrong took Aunt Liu to Zhengji Hall, which is not far from Qingtai Courtyard.

"I would like to," Qi said with a smile from Mama Li, "but now our family is counting on our housekeeper Second Miss to handle it~"

"Grandmother is here to make fun of me again," Luo Qingrong blushed, stepped forward and hugged Old Madam Luo's arm, wrinkled his nose and said, "Who doesn't know that our Wu'an Hou Mansion has an old feudal monarch who is both reasonable and good at running a family?" No matter where my granddaughter goes, people say that I am most like my grandmother~"

"This is even a compliment for me to take you along," Qi was in a good mood when he was coaxed by his granddaughter, but he was feeling that his granddaughter has become more and more cold since she ran the house, and it is rare to be like a child to coddle herself, "It is a good thing for our sister Rong to know how to run a family, but it can't be ignored in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, although we are a family of military generals, but we can't make people think that they are all rude!" ”

This is to remind himself, Luo Qingrong hurriedly said yes.

"I heard that you rearranged the deed of the shop under our name?" Old Madam Luo had already heard what Mama Li said, but she wanted to hear Luo Qingrong's intentions.
