Chapter 3 Sisters and Brothers
Chen Lan turned over and looked outside, but before he could answer, the door curtain moved, and Chen Yan actually broke in. Xu had just come back from the academy, and there were still a few dots of ink on his sleeve, but his face was full of joy. Seeing that there was no one in the room, he moved Jindun and sat down in front of the bed, reached out and touched her forehead, and then tried himself.
"Hey, why is it still hotter than my head?"
Although he had decided to accept the reality, and that familiar face was indeed kind, Chen Lan was still a little awkward about such a younger brother who suddenly became extra, but at this time, he couldn't help but be amused by his self-talking, and immediately said angrily: "This is a trauma, not a fever, what's the use of trying your forehead?" Also, this way is running back, look at you sweating profusely, the wind blows naturally cool. Look at you, your sleeves are covered with ink again, and you have to send it to wash it when you turn around......"
As she spoke, she froze. Unconsciously, how did she habitually use the tone of her sister reprimanding her brother? Just as she felt something strange in her heart, she heard an aggrieved voice: "Sister, aren't I in a hurry to see you?" ”
Seeing Chen Yan with a flattering smile on his face, Chen Lan sighed in his heart, sat up on the bed, moved the pillow again, and then took a handkerchief from under the pillow and motioned him to wipe himself. Chen Yan took it and wiped it awkwardly twice, then swept around, and suddenly lost his smile: "Sister, where are the people serving in the house?" You're still sick, why don't they all run off to play, it's too unusual! I didn't see anyone when I first entered the yard, these dead girls......"
Before he finished speaking, a few voices came from outside, and soon the green flower-sprinkling curtain was raised high. The first person to come in glanced at the room, was taken aback, and hurriedly beckoned back. For a while, all three of them hurriedly entered the house, Yun'er, who was the leader, raised their heads, and the three of them curtsied in unison.
"Fourth Young Master."
Chen Yan's eyes widened, and he immediately started a fire: "Where have all the people gone?" No one is watching the door, and no one is guarding the house, so if you don't want to keep it, then I'll ......."
"Fourth brother!" Chen Lan listened to him more and more disagreeable, so he had to open his mouth to stop him, and asked lightly, "What's going on?" ”
Although she knew that she was not the real Chen Lan, there would inevitably be some deviations in her words and deeds, but since she had been seriously injured and dangerous before, she was unconscious for more than half a month, and it would take a while to recuperate, she also knew that it was not the time to blindly pretend to be deaf and dumb. Seeing that the three girls looked at me, but they didn't say anything, she couldn't help frowning, and said in an accentuated tone: "Is it really impossible to even say a word?" ”
At this time, Yun'er, who was beating her head, finally raised her head and explained with a very bad face: "Miss, it was my mother who called us all out and taught us a lesson." If it weren't for Sister Qin Fang's saying that there was still Sumu Pepper guarding the house, I wouldn't have listened to her scolding, and it took a lot of effort to hold back from arguing with her......"
At this time, Chen Yan, who had just kept his face silent, couldn't help it anymore, and immediately scolded: "What do you wish mother, when will it be her turn as an outsider to intervene in the affairs of this courtyard?" My sister was sick before, so she came over to point fingers, and I endured it, but now my sister is awake, how can she intervene in the affairs of this yard! ”
Chen Yan was originally a charcoal character, and as he spoke, he stood up, stomped his feet and said, "Don't let her in in the future, do you know?" ”
Yun'er immediately smiled, nodded again and again, and said, "What the fourth young master said is that the slave must remember it in the future!" ”
"Okay, okay, fourth brother, don't talk nonsense!"
Chen Lan saw Chen Yan lose his temper, but the girls below were all smiling, thinking that these girls must be used to it. Seeing that Chen Yan was still angry, she coughed lightly: "Since I wish my mother to call you over, then it's okay." ”
As he was talking, the curtain moved again, but it was Qin Fang who entered the room. Her eyes were still a little red and swollen, and her face seemed to be filled with some fat powder, which was fine to see. Seeing the three girls standing in front of the bed, she was stunned.
This time, it was Chen Yan who asked first: "Where have you been!" ”
Qin Fang saw that Chen Lan was also looking at her, she hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Today is the day to release the monthly money, because the amount is wrong, Su Mu and Pepper led a few little girls to go out to find Aunt Zhao's theory, and the slave maid could only stop her alive and dead, and in the end, she couldn't stop it, so she could only go with them." The slave and maid should die, forgetting that there should be people in the house. ”
At this point, Chen Lan really didn't have the heart to continue to ask. First, her injuries are indeed not healed, secondly, the situation has not been clarified, and I don't know if there are other hidden dangers in the yard, and thirdly, I can't ask how much money is this month. Therefore, Lazy gave a few more orders, and she sent someone down, and even rejected Qin Fang's proposal to let the little girls kowtow and admit their mistakes.
As soon as the person left, Chen Yan said angrily: "Sister, you are too weak to be bullied, I wish the family is not happy!" If it weren't for the old lady still here, the second aunt would have been unable to tolerate the two of us, didn't she just think she was Mrs. Hou? It's all because Daddy didn't attack the knight back then, otherwise these subordinates wouldn't dare to be so snobbish! Sister, when I become an official in the future, we will move out! ”
The eleven-year-old child was worried about this, Chen Lan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then patted his hand lightly, shook his head and signaled him not to say any more. And looking at Chen Yan's eyes that seemed to be "hating iron but not steel", she didn't take it to heart, just smiled and instructed him again, and took out a purse from the small box next to the pillow and gave it to him.
"This ...... Did my sister make it again? The needlework is just as good! Chen Yan happily put the purse into his arms, and then grinned, "It's going to be the New Year, I was just thinking about grinding my sister to make one, but I didn't expect you to prepare it a long time ago." ”
In the past three days, although Chen Lan was not allowed to get out of bed, he was familiar with all kinds of utensils on the bed, including all kinds of needles and threads in the bedside box. There are purses, fans, sweat towels, and shoe uppers...... All in all, there are all kinds of everything, even if she used to save money, needlework is not bad, and even cut clothes, but there was a sewing machine at that time, and now this is a real embroidery, and her little stitching is really not enough. If it weren't for the fact that the original owner left so many things, and the injury was not healed, it was also an excuse, how could she fool when she wanted to give gifts for the New Year?
Leaving Chen Yan to sit for a while, Chen Lan didn't mention what Zheng's mother said after all, but just told him to be careful with himself and not to cause trouble. When he left happily, Chen Lan pressed his chest and took a deep breath.
Although she is completely obsessed with the history of this era, whether it is modern or ancient, this life without her father and mother is the same, not to mention that the personnel here are more complicated and difficult than her original environment. However, life is hope, since she has been reborn, she will definitely live well in place of this poor girl who lost her parents but wholeheartedly protects her younger brother, and she will definitely take good care of Chen Yan for her!
In addition to recuperating from her injuries, she had to think carefully about what Zheng's mother had mentioned before to let Chen Yan move to the outer courtyard. Chen Yan is only eleven years old, and he has no parents to take care of him, and he lives alone in the outer courtyard, God knows what will happen? This is not only for him, but also for herself, you must know that her biggest reliance in this family is this younger brother.
