In the Lin Mansion of Hongqing City, Master Lin and Mrs. Lin were sipping tea in the main hall, and Mrs. Lin looked at Master Lin while drinking.

"This new Longjing tea is good, much better than the tea we drank before."

"It's really good, I'll let Steward Li serve more of this tea tomorrow. Master Lin also praised the tea for being delicious, and blew it from time to time.

"Master, you see that our Hongwan is getting older, shouldn't we invite a female gentleman to teach her to read, learn calligraphy, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Mrs. Lin asked with a smile as she drank tea.

"It's time to invite a female gentleman back, Hongwan is not small, and it's time to take away her naughty nature. Master Lin thought seriously and looked at Mrs. Lin.

So, after the two agreed, two days later, Master Lin invited the most famous female gentleman in Hong Qingcheng to the Lin Mansion.

As soon as Mr. Lin and Mr. Lady walked into the main hall, they invited Mr. Lady to sit down, and then, the maid Xiaocui served tea and was about to turn around and leave, but Mr. Lin stopped her, "Xiaocui, go and invite Mrs. and Miss over." ”

"Yes, sir, I'll go. So, Xiaocui withdrew, and after a while, Xiaocui invited Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin to the main hall, and the nurse Hongru also followed Miss Lin into the main hall.

As soon as the three of them walked into the main hall, Master Lin smiled and said to the female gentleman: "Female gentleman, this is my daughter Lin Hongwan, and I will ask the girl to bother to teach her in the future." ”

"Hongwan, this is the female gentleman that your father invited you, come, come and meet the female gentleman. ”

"Father, what are you doing, what kind of female gentleman, my daughter doesn't want to learn. Lin Hongwan looked extremely reluctant.

"Hongwan, don't mess around, what do you know about your children. Master Lin's face became serious and shouted angrily.

"Don't be surprised, sir, she is a child who is not sensible. Master Lin smiled and looked at the female gentleman.

"Master Lin, it's okay, many children are like this at the beginning, it's okay. The female gentleman said a little gently.

"Thank you, sir. Master Lin bowed with a smile on his face.

Then, Master Lin said to Steward Li who was standing beside him: "Steward Li, you take the female gentleman to go down to rest first, and then clean up a side room for the female gentleman to live in." ”

"Yes, sir, please come with me, gentleman. So, the female gentleman followed Steward Li and left here.

After Steward Li and Mr. Daughter left, Lin Hongwan walked to her mother's side, and then shook her mother's arm: "Mother, my daughter doesn't want to learn, why don't you find Sister Yueling to study with your daughter." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Hongru beside her, and Hongru saw Lin Hongwan wink, and immediately echoed: "Yes, madam, Miss is still young after all, how can you let her learn alone, it's better to find someone to accompany Miss to learn together." ”

"Hongru, you are the most fond of her, sometimes I think you are more attentive to her than me, a mother. Mrs. Lin smiled, and there was some relief in her eyes.

"Why, I'm just Miss's wet nurse. Hongru was slightly embarrassed in her heart, but she didn't want to show it.

"Your sister Yueling is a young lady of the family like you, how can she come to be your companion?" Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Hongwan with a doting look.

After hearing this, Lin Hongwan thought about it, then looked at Hongru and pointed at Hongru, "Doesn't Aunt Ru have a daughter? Why don't you let Aunt Ru's daughter accompany me?" It just so happens that I haven't seen Aunt Ru's daughter yet?"

"It's okay, Hongru has been coming to our Lin Mansion for some years, and all her thoughts are on Hongwan, master, I think I should let Hongru's daughter come over to study with Hongwan." Mrs. Lin nodded and looked at Master Lin.

"Well, everything will be decided according to Madame's wishes. Master Lin said with a smile in his eyes.

At this time, Hongru was very anxious after hearing this, she didn't want Mo Xuelian to contact the Lin family, so she immediately knelt on the ground and nervously said: "My daughter Xuelian is a country girl, how can she come to be the escort of the young lady? ”

"Hongru, you get up first, since you came to the Lin Mansion, you have been taking care of Hongwan with all your heart, you must have been negligent to your daughter, and I also feel guilty in my heart, my lord and I let her enter the Lin Mansion to study with Hongwan, which can be regarded as compensation for your mother and daughter." Mrs. Lin said with a slight mildness.

After hearing this, Hongru stood up helplessly and didn't know what to say, so she could only agree to the matter.

In the early morning of the second day, Hongru left the Lin Mansion after getting up, came to the door of the small courtyard and opened the door and walked into the small courtyard.

"Mother, you're back, I miss you so much. Don't you usually come back at the end of the month?Why did you come back today?" Mo Xuelian greeted her mother when she came back.

"Yes, why did you come back today? Is there something wrong?" Mo Liansheng also echoed.

Hongru nodded after hearing what they said, "It's something, let's go into the house, let's talk in the house." ”

After the three of them entered the house, Hongru looked at Granny Mo, Mo Xuelian, and Mo Liansheng.

"Mrs. Lin and Master Lin want to find a companion for Miss Lin, they want Xue Lian to go, I also agreed, Xue Lian, you pack up and go back to Lin Mansion with me tomorrow." “

After Mo Xuelian heard this, she knew that she could go to study and practice calligraphy, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting like many young ladies from the family, not to mention how happy she was, she looked at Hongru in disbelief.

"Really? Mother, can I really study with Miss Lin?"

Hongru nodded after hearing this, "Yes, it's true." ”

"This is a great thing, Xue Lian will go to the Lin Mansion with you tomorrow. ”

Mo Liansheng echoed but Granny Mo didn't speak at this time, and after a few people finished talking about it, Mo Xuelian happily went to pack up the things she used.

After Mo Xuelian packed up her things for a few hours, she thought to herself: "I'm going to Lin Mansion, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Master's place often in the future, I want to talk to Master about this." ”

So, thinking about it, he left the small courtyard and came to the broken temple on the hillside, and just entered the broken temple and saw his master and brother practicing there, the old man in purple and the boy in white knew that it was Mo Xuelian who came in, so they both opened their eyes and looked at Mo Xuelian.

Then, Mo Xuelian stepped forward and looked at the old man in purple, "Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to your old man's house often in the future, I'm going to go to the Lin Mansion from tomorrow to accompany Miss Lin." ”

"This is a good thing, what you should have been taught as a teacher has already been taught to you, you just need to practice diligently, and you don't have to come to study for the teacher often. ”

"However, I can't bear to be a master and a senior brother. Mo Xuelian was a little bitter and sad.

"Silly boy, this is a good thing, you can go to the Lin Mansion with confidence. ”

Mo Xuelian nodded after hearing this, "Yes, Master, the disciple knows." So, Mo Xuelian stayed in the broken temple to practice with her master and brother. “

In the Mo family, after Mo Liansheng and Mo Xuelian left, Granny Mo quietly called Hongru to her room, and then closed the door.

"How can you let that girl from Snow Lotus go to the Lin Mansion.....? How can you let her go?" Granny Mo spoke quietly, afraid that others would hear her.

Hongru's face was full of anger, "This is what Mrs. Lin and Master Lin said personally, I want to refuse, I also said that I don't want to let Xuelian's girl go, but Master Lin and Mrs. Lin have made up their minds, how can I refuse, wouldn't it be too abnormal if I refused?"

"Yes, there's really no way to refuse, then let that girl Xue Lian go, anyway, it's been so many years, I don't think it's going to be anything. When the time comes, when Snow Lotus enters the mansion, you just need to observe and pay more attention. It shouldn't be okay to pay more attention?" Granny Mo instructed.

"Mother, don't worry, I will naturally pay more attention and pay more attention, and if I think that girl from Xuelian is also simple and sensible, she will be fine. ”

"That's it, tomorrow you can take that girl from Snow Lotus. So, when the two had finished speaking, they went back to their rooms.

The next day, in the Mo family, after Hongru and Mo Xuelian had breakfast, "Xuelian, take your things, let's go." ”

After hearing this, Mo Xuelian took her things and left the small courtyard with Hongru and walked towards the Lin Mansion.

When they walked to the gate of the Lin Mansion, the doorman notified Steward Li, and then, Steward Li came out and led Hongru and Mo Xuelian to the main hall.

"Master, Hongru has brought her daughter to the Lin Mansion. ”

"Got it, there's nothing to do, you can go down first. After saying that, Steward Li turned around and left the main hall.

At this time, Master Lin and Mrs. Lin looked at Mo Xuelian, and for some reason, they felt that this girl was very kind, so they immediately liked Mo Xuelian very much, so Mrs. Lin spoke.

"You are Hongru's daughter Mo Xuelian, I liked you very much at first sight, the little girl is so beautiful, people like it unconsciously at a glance. ”

Mo Xuelian smiled embarrassedly after hearing this.

"In the future, you will accompany Hongwan to read and practice calligraphy, and learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, are you willing?"

"I am willing, I am very happy to be able to accompany Miss Lin to study in the Lin Mansion. Mo Xuelian replied happily.

"Hongwan has someone about the same age with her, and she won't be lonely in this Lin Mansion in the future. As he spoke, he looked at Lin Hongwan.

"Hongwan, Xuelian will be by your side in the future, you are not allowed to bully others just because you are a young lady. ”

After hearing this, Lin Hongwan glanced at Mo Xuelian: "Mother, don't worry, how can I be? ”

After Lin Hongwan finished speaking, she looked at Mo Xuelian carefully, and thought: "This little girl is really beautiful, this eye, this skin, this lips, and that figure, hey, I haven't seen anyone more beautiful than her so far, Sister Yueling is also beautiful with herself, but compared with her, Sister Yueling and herself can't look at it."

She couldn't help but feel a little jealous when she thought about it, but when she turned her head and thought about it, no matter how beautiful she was, what could she compare with herself and Sister Yueling? Thinking of this, I shook my head and smiled.

"We are not people of the same world at all, how can we compare them together?

"Hongru, you take your daughter down first, clean up the room next to you and let Xuelian live. ”

At this moment, Master Lin's voice interrupted Lin Hongwan's thoughts.

Hongru knew that Master Lin and Mrs. Lin hadn't found anything, so she quickly relieved herself from her anxiety.

"Okay, sir, I'll take Snow Lotus with me. Then, she looked at Mo Xuelian.

"Xue Lian, let's go, Mother will take you to your room to have a look. ”

When Mo Xuelian heard this, she nodded obediently and followed her mother out of the main hall of the Lin Mansion and walked towards the place where she wanted to live. That night, Mo Xuelian stayed in the Lin Mansion and stayed.
