As soon as he heard the topic, Chen Lan immediately remembered what Zheng's mother said before, and immediately glanced at the past, but saw that she didn't pay attention to herself, but her face was slightly condensed, but her eyes looked at a girl behind Zhu's back. I found that it was not only Zheng's mother, but everyone else in the room was also looking over there.

I saw that the girl named Zhenlong had a long face, a medium figure, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and a green banana cloth armor covered with a green banana cloth on the outside of the blue satin jacket, which was more and more white as jade, and her eyes were like morning stars, which was indeed outstanding. Seeing everyone looking at her at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little unnatural, and hurriedly lowered her head. Zhu glanced at her with interest, and asked, "Bing'er wants you, are you willing to go?" ”

Hearing this, Zhenlong hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, and said without raising his head: "The slaves and maids all listen to the old lady." ”

"That's good." Only then did Zhu turn his head and look at Chen Bingdao with a smile, "It's cheap, you girl!" But I still have a few pieces of needlework to do, and it will be a few days before you can get them back. ”

"Old lady Xie!"

While Chen Bing thanked him, Zhenlong also hurriedly kowtowed. Just looking at this scene of filial piety, Chen Lan also stood up: "The old lady cherishes the second sister, I also want to get a light." When I was recuperating from my injuries before, Zheng's mother wished her mother to come to see me, and I happened to see that the girls in the yard were not good. The old lady knows about me, and if there is no proper person to watch, my yard will only be more chaotic. I beg the old lady to look at me sincerely, and pick a sister in the house for me! ”

At this moment, Zhu's smile suddenly deepened: "Okay, today is not an appointment, and everyone will come to calculate me!" Listen to what Lan girl said, pick someone at will, is there not a single sweeper in my house who is better than yours? ”

Chen Lan just smiled: "The second sister is leaving, the old lady's beloved, I'm embarrassed, naturally I can only ask the old lady to give me a sister casually, the old lady will never favor one over the other." ”

Hearing Chen Lan say this, Zheng's mother joked beside her: "This is not bad, the old lady has been governing the family for decades, and a sweeper has rules and regulations, so she is naturally better than those playful girls." The third lady really has to have someone there to hide, the last time I went back to Zhu's house and I went there to visit, only a while, after she came out, she was so angry that she called the girls and girls together for a lecture. ”

"Oh?" Zhu raised his eyebrows, and then stretched, "That's it, then just let the red snail go." She is the same age as Zhenlong, and the two of them want to be good again, Zhenlong is gone, and she is lonely when she stays. ”

Without waiting for the people in the room to react, she pointed to Chen Yun and Chen Xi and said: "And you, the two sisters have opened their mouths, I agreed, and I can't wronged you, Chengxin and Mingjue will give it to your sisters, lest people say that I am biased." Besides, you are also older, and it is not enough to have only two second-class and four third-class around you, now make up for one first, and then add one after the New Year. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room smiled and thanked them, and all said that the old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter, and several girls also came up to kowtow. Zhu saw that the three people except Zhenlong were standing next to the new master, so he said to Zheng's mother next to her: "Lan'er is injured, her yard is too far away, and only one of the red snails may not be able to hold it. ”

It was almost noon at this time, and after talking and laughing for a while, a girl stepped forward and whispered to ask Zheng's mother if she was setting up a meal, and Zhu happened to hear it, so she had to order her granddaughters to stay, and it was so lively. Hearing this, Chen Lan rubbed his temples and showed a little tiredness. Sure enough, Zheng's mother glanced at a few young ladies and reminded Chen Lan that Chen Lan's injury was just right.

With her mention, the Zhu family naturally looked at Chen Lan, nodded and said, "Okay, Lan'er is also tired today, go back and have a good rest first, and keep the three of them sisters to accompany me as an old woman." ”

Chen Lan excused himself, then agreed embarrassedly, and after saying goodbye, he took Qin Fang and the new Hongluo out of the house. Suddenly out of the warm room where the earth dragon was burning, she couldn't help but shudder even though she had put on the cloak. Going out from the courtyard gate, walking along the mezzanine to the corner, seeing that she was about to arrive at Zi Ningju in the second room, she suddenly heard a call from behind, and when she looked back, she saw a girl holding a big coat in her hand, and hurriedly chased after her.

"Third Miss, just now the old lady asked you what kind of clothes you wore to protect yourself from the cold when you came in, and the next person answered, and the old lady said that it was too thin, and immediately asked the slave to rummage through the box and find this crane." The girl shook off the crane as she spoke, and said with a smile, "This is the filial piety of the princess of the Jin Dynasty in the winter last year, because the old lady has a lot of clothes and the colors are too bright, so she has been left unworn." This is the rose purple cocoon silk face, the gray squirrel lining, the most light and warm. The third lady is weak, so let's put it on now. ”

Today's illness just happened to come out like this, Chen Lan just wanted not to let people pick the number of courtesies, and in addition, he also recognized the situation of touching people, but when he went back, he brought a box of four golden hairpins and a second-class girl, and now he specially caught up and sent a crane, and she felt more and more wrong in her heart.

In her memory, she only has awe and no closeness to the ancestor of the Zhu family, and the Zhu family is just ordinary to her granddaughter, and she is definitely not as good as those juniors in the second and third rooms, but today she takes extra care, which must not be explained by any injury recovery or pity. Hearing the girl say that the old lady said that she didn't need to thank her, she half-pushed and half-let the girl serve her to put it on, and when she was tying the belt, she saw two mothers-in-law probing her brain over there in Ziningju, but they quickly retracted.

As the girl said, this crane is light and warm, the rose purple cocoon silk face is embroidered with gold thread peony pattern, the edge is outlined with black thread cloud pattern, the silver mouse inside is all soft hair, far warmer than her velvet cloak. When she passed by the gate of Zi Ning Ju wearing this new crane, she saw several people in the courtyard secretly watching at a glance, and she gradually had a number in her heart. When she returned to the Splendid Pavilion and entered her own room, she let out a long breath.

Although Hongluo is a second-class girl in Zhu's house, except for a few old ladies in the Hou Mansion, the highest among the young masters and ladies of the younger generation is also second-class, so they naturally look at it differently. Yun'er and the others who were left before greeted her, and learned that Hongluo was begged by her master to the old lady in person, everyone was a little stunned, especially Yun'er's eyes flashed, and when Chen Lan told her to clean up the place for Hongluo to settle, she came back to her senses and took people out again.

Compared with the grace and luxury of the Tatexiang Courtyard, now looking at his Splendid Pavilion, Chen Lan couldn't help but laugh at himself, thinking that even the charcoal fire could not compare to the burning there. After taking off the crane and changing it into a homely coat, she took it in her hand and looked at it carefully, and found that it was indeed new.

Qin Fang walked over with the jewelry box in her hand and asked in a low voice, "Miss, are these two pairs of golden hairpins still stored in their original places?" ”

Chen Lan raised her head at this time, and saw that only Qin Fang was in the room, and there was no movement outside, she raised her eyes to look at Qin Fang, and she didn't answer the words, and suddenly asked directly: "I asked the old lady for someone, you don't seem to be very happy?" ”

Qin Fang was startled, and hurriedly shook her head, and then knelt down on her knees: "The slave doesn't dare!" ”

"What is this for!" Chen Lan pulled Qin Fang up, and said angrily, "It's not that I don't know you. Before, Zheng's mother wished that you fell asleep when your mother came, because you didn't sleep for a few days in a row, and you would inevitably feel sleepy. It's just that you don't have to cower so much when you see her in the future, the more afraid she is, the more powerful she is. Now that it's in my hospital, does she dare to punish you like she did when you were a little girl? ”

Qin Fang suddenly shuddered when she thought of the past when she was punished by Mother Zhu for kneeling under the sun with green bricks against her head and almost fainting in Mrs. Ma's courtyard, and she suddenly shuddered, which showed Chen Lan's bright eyes, and her heart felt better, but she still shook her head: "Miss can't get along with the second lady, in this Hou Mansion, after all, she is the rightful housewife." ”

In the past month, Chen Lan has roughly figured out the situation in the Hou Mansion, and the result is that she has completely recognized how difficult the situation around her is. From the second- and third-class girls in the house to the little girls in the yard, none of them came to her when their parents were still by her side, even Qin Fang only served her for three years, because she was honest and faithful on weekdays, so she was the most powerful.

Because of this, since Zheng's mother had hinted, she followed Chen Bing to ask for someone from the Zhu family, but she didn't expect that the Zhu family seemed to have a plan, and gave her the red snail, and then gave Chen Yun and Chen Xi a girl.

At this time, she waved her hand and said, "Don't say it, I know all this." After lying in bed for a month, I also figured out that if others don't get along with me, I naturally won't get along with others. If I can bear it, I will naturally endure it, and if I can't bear it, I may not be able to come up with a way to eliminate it. ”

When she said this, Qin Fang's eyes turned red. She put the box on the begonia next to her, and she stepped forward and knelt down: "Thank you, young lady, for trusting the slave." The slave maid just thinks that since she wants a girl today, the young lady should be the same as the second young lady, and she should name one. After all, the red snail was bought from outside, and it has no roots, no foundation, no dependence, and no reliance in the house, where is it like Zhenlong. Zhenlong's father is the effective steward of the pioneer old marquis, and now he is in charge of the two largest silk villages in the house, and he handles the most money. Her mother is in charge of the four seasons and festivals to send gifts to various houses, and she also has a head and a face. Although Hongluo and Zhenlong were fine, because they came in from outside, the rest of the people in front of the old lady were quite jealous of her. What's the use of such a person following Miss? ”

Hearing these words, Chen Lan only felt that the girl in front of him was very worthy of his own liking. Honesty means not asserting one's own opinions, being restrained and not being unassuming, and as for being useless, being able to look at these is not just loyalty. Therefore, she smiled and nodded at Qin Fang and said, "You are right, you are really careful." Don't think about these or not, since the red snails are here, you should first take her to familiarize yourself with the situation here, and respect her more. Since she came from outside, she always has some recognition. ”

Unable to move Chen Lan, Qin Fang had to sigh and deal with the matter, and then asked: "The affairs in the house were originally a few things for me and Yun'er, what are the young ladies going to let Hongluo do?" ”

"Since it's an old lady's person, let her take care of the jewelry and money."

After Chen Lan finished speaking, he didn't look at Qin Fang, who was greatly surprised, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. For her today, the background of the people in the house is simple, and it is swaggering to name important people. Besides, four second-class girls, three of them can be taken away by their sisters, but Zhenlong still has a few needlework that has not been done well, and she has to stay with the old lady for a few more days, how can there be such a coincidence?

It seems that the old grandmother is also unwilling to let the people in the second room take advantage of it.

PS: Keep asking for recommendation votes ^_^. In addition, it's not that I don't want to be a little more, but there are a lot of things in the past two days, so I write slowly, plus there are still things to do in January, alas......
