Chapter VIII: Mediation

Lilac was so frightened that she stayed in her room and didn't dare to go out again. All day, she waited for Miss to call her, but seeing that it was almost dark, Miss never called her once. She was even more scared, thinking that she must have failed to do something well, which made Miss angry and didn't want her anymore. I wanted to ask, but I didn't dare to go out, until Chen's mother came to call her for dinner, she couldn't help crying, Chen's mother couldn't persuade her, so she had to tell his wife.

Dong Yaqing has only moved here for a short time, and the furniture is not complete, so she has to be busy buying things these days, and she has to write letters to friends to inform her of the move. Seeing Chu Yun worried about the little girl's affairs, he felt very funny, but he didn't have time to care about her. At this time, as soon as I heard Chen's mother say, no matter if it didn't work, I asked Chen's mother to call Lilac over.

Lilac sobbed into the house, squatted down to greet her aunt and grandmother, and stood with her head bowed and did not dare to say anything.

Dong Yaqing looked at Lilac's crying face, which was really angry and funny. asked Chen's mother to take her to wash her face, and then come over after dinner.

Taking advantage of this, Dong Yaqing called Chu Yun over. Chu Yun said that he didn't want this little girl, but when he heard Dong Yaqing say that Ding Xiang cried like a tearful person, he felt unbearable, after all, Ding Xiang was just a little girl who was two years younger than herself, and she was also worried.

Dong Yaqing hugged her daughter's shoulders and said slowly: "I know you don't like to let others wait for you like this, but grandpa has already sent it, if you send it back again, grandpa will be so sad!" Or think that the cloves are not to your liking, and maybe they will change another one for you. Unlike the West, we in China cannot change the thinking and habits of ancient traditions in a day or two. Now that we are back, we should follow the local customs and adapt to life in Peking as soon as possible. Besides, Lilac has left her grandfather's house, I don't think she wants to go back, she is also a girl, and she is quite smart, you be patient, slowly teach her some new knowledge, new ideas, can't you also be a companion? ”

Hearing this, Chu Yun finally nodded.

Dong Yaqing smiled, patted her daughter's head gently, stood up and walked to the door and shouted, "Mother Chen, call Lilac over." ”

After a while, Lilac timidly pushed open the door and walked in. Chu Yun looked up and saw that Lilac's little face had been washed clean, leaving only two red and red swollen eye bubbles crying, and the two hands were clasped together, twisting and twisting nervously. Chu Yun felt that he had gone a little too far, and glanced at his mother embarrassedly.

Dong Yaqing beckoned to Lilac and said gently, "Lilac, come here." ”

Lilac was nervous in her heart, she walked up to Dong Yaqing, and just wanted to salute, Dong Yaqing grabbed her, pointed to the sofa opposite and said, "Sit down." ”

Lilac was even more uneasy in her heart, Miss must not want her anymore, otherwise why would her aunt be so polite to her? She raised her head with tears in her eyes, "Grandma, Miss, I was wrong, I must change, don't send me back." ”

When Chu Yun heard this, he smiled: "You are wrong, where are you wrong?" ”

Lilac muttered bewildered, "I, I ......"

Dong Yaqing walked over, sat her on the sofa, took a handkerchief and handed it to her, "You're not wrong, you're doing a good job." It's just that the young lady is not used to having people follow her all the time. Lilac, since you don't want to go back to the old lady's house, it's better to stay here. ”

"Really? Can I really stay? ”

"Really. Are you happy now? Chu Yun said with a smile.

"Thank you, Grandma, thank you, Miss!"

"However, there are rules for each family, and this is different from the old lady's, if you want to stay here, you must do things according to the rules here, can you do it?" Dong Yaqing said solemnly.

Lilac nodded desperately.
