"Oh, it was my mother's negligence. I forgot about it." Yun Yixi quickly asked the servants to come in, "You go and clean up Yuxinyuan carefully, and then clean up the mattresses, bed tents, curtains and
All the screens have been replaced with new ones.”
When Tan Feng'er heard this, her expression changed drastically and she said hurriedly: "Auntie, didn't you say that when brother Lei gets married in the future, you want to use it as a new house?"
Yuxinyuan was originally the main residence in the General's Mansion, and it was also the largest and best residence here. Because Yun Yixi liked the elegant Yunyi Pavilion, she did not live in Yuxinyuan.
Moreover, the location of Yuxinyuan is relatively good, with sunshine all year round, and it is in the middle of the mansion. It has always been the place she wanted.
Now it is given to this new woman, which is so unacceptable.
Yun Yixi smiled slightly and said: "I have said that before, but that was before. Now that Ping'er is here, it will be a different matter. Besides, Lei'er hasn't married yet, even if he does in the future.
, there are so many houses in the general's mansion, aren't they enough for him to live in?"
Now I just want to give her poor Ping'er the best things, and I can't let her suffer any more injustice.
Yan Qiqi's eyes flashed slightly, and she smiled and said: "I prefer peace and quiet, so you should arrange a more remote and quiet place for me. Yuxinyuan should be reserved for my brother to get a wife."
Before Yun Yixi could speak, Tan Feng'er immediately said: "It turns out that Sister Ping likes peace and quiet, but Feng'er knows that there is the purest place in the General's Mansion. Auntie, the courtyard is the cleanest place in the entire General. Please clean it up and let Sister Ping
Just stay there, that's what she wants."
"Feng'er, how can you let Ping'er live in the courtyard? It's dilapidated and not even a place for a descendant to live. She is my biological daughter." Yun Yixi frowned and her voice became harder.
Tan Feng'er's face was slightly stunned, and she was a little at a loss, "I, Feng'er just think about Sister Ping. Doesn't she like a quiet place? Besides, although the courtyard is dilapidated, it is very big. If it is repaired, it will definitely be restored to Ping."
Sister’s wishes.”
"Forget it, don't come up with random ideas next time." Yun Yixi glanced at her mouth and said.
Then, he said to Yan Qiqi: "Ping'er, if you want to live in a clean place, you can live in Meiyuan from now on. It's quieter and more elegant there."
When Tan Feng'er heard this, she immediately became dissatisfied: "Aunt, the Plum Garden is where we stay during the New Year and festivals, and it is also a place to enjoy plum blossoms in winter. If I give it to Sister Ping, we can gather there during the festival."
"There are many courtyards in the General's Mansion. If you want to have a party, you can just find one. As for plum appreciation, you can go there and enjoy it even if you give Ping'er a penny." Yun Yixi said with a hint of impatience in her tone.
Tan Feng'er moved the corners of her lips slightly, and wanted to say something more, but saw some displeasure on Yun Yixi's face, so she stopped talking.
He hurriedly stepped forward and took Yun Yixi's arm, saying coquettishly: "Auntie, don't blame me. It was Feng'er's lack of consideration that made her say such nonsense."
Yun Yixi looked at her, reached out and patted her arm, and sighed, "Oh, Auntie, I don't blame you. I'm here now, and Ping'er will live in Meiyuan from now on."
"I know that my aunt treats Feng'er the best, so I can't bear to blame Feng'er." Tan Feng'er said with a sweet smile.
"You, you, please get along well with Heping'er from now on and become good sisters who love each other." Yun Yixi raised her hand and tapped her forehead, rolled her eyes angrily, and said.
After Ping'er was lost, she was so sad that she never got pregnant for ten years. In order to relieve her depression, Tan Heng brought a ten-year-old girl from a distant relative's home.
That is Feng'er. Feng'er is a sweet-tongued and considerate girl. After six years of being together, she has long been regarded as her own daughter.
Now that Ping'er is here, seeing everyone turn their attention to Ping'er, he feels a little bit left out, so he said these words.
"Yes, Feng'er has remembered it." Tan Feng'er nodded obediently and said.
"By the way, Auntie, Meiyuan is a relatively large place, so we should send more servants to her. Sister Ping has just come back from outside. She is afraid that other servants will look down on Sister Ping and neglect her, so she must do some tricks for her.
I need a smart, sensible and obedient maid to serve me, so why not give the orchids and plum blossoms around me to Sister Ping, they are more diligent and neat in their work, and they are nice people."
The way she spoke was as if she were the mistress of this house.
And there is a hint of irony in this statement.
Yan Qiqi frowned slightly, her eyes showing impatience.
She has a lazy temperament and doesn't want to scheming with others, as that would take too much brain power.
But that doesn't mean there's something wrong with her brain. Tan Feng'er first instigated a relationship between her and Yun Yixi, then obstructed her in her residence, and even let her live in a broken house.
Of course, it's not Tan Feng'er's decision whether to live in a broken house or not. Forget it, she doesn't bother to care about people like this. She often doesn't bother to pay attention to people she doesn't like.
Unexpectedly, he was being sarcastic and wanted to place people around her to monitor her, or for other purposes.
Seeing that she hasn't spoken a word, do you really think she is easy to mess with?
Yan Qiqi's lips curled up slightly, and she said quietly: "You don't need to worry about this. The servants in the mansion still take such good care of you, an outsider. What's more, I am the real eldest lady in the general's mansion, so I should be able to serve you carefully.
Already."
When he said the words 'outsider' and 'genuine', his voice became a little heavier.
Well, although she is also a foreigner and is not the real owner of this body after all, it is hers now, so it is not an exaggeration to borrow her identity.
Yun Yixi slapped the table and said angrily: "Ping'er is right, you are the real eldest lady of the General's Mansion. If a servant dares to ride on the master's head, what do we want him to do?"
She originally meant that Yan Qiqi was the eldest lady in the house, but when she heard that Tan Feng'er's ears changed.
Tan Feng'er's face turned pale and she bit her lower lip heavily.
Tan Xiping is the real eldest lady, which means she is not.
Now that Yun Yixi has a daughter, will she be sent away to her original home in the future?
She didn't want to leave. Her father was just a small county magistrate, how could he be compared with a great general.
Moreover, her father had many wives and concubines, and many children. She was born as a concubine, and her appearance was not outstanding, so she was not taken seriously at all.
She and her mother usually live in fear, and their status is not as good as that of the eldest maid in the eldest house.
After arriving at the General's Mansion, she realized that people could live like this, with groups of maids to serve them, luxurious houses, and fine clothing and food.
The most important thing is that she can meet an outstanding man like Brother Lei.
She doesn't want to go back to the life of a lower class person. She must marry brother Lei and become the hostess here.
Tan Feng'er secretly took a breath, hiding all the dissatisfaction and jealousy in her heart, and then let a sweet smile appear on her face, "Auntie is right, if there is that servant who dares to bully Sister Ping, he will be kicked out directly and he will never be used again.
."
"Yes." Yun Yixi responded, then took Yan Qiqi's hand and said, "Ping'er, let's go, mother will take you to the Meiyuan. There are not only many rare varieties of plum blossoms there, but also a
In the lotus pond, the lotus flowers are still blooming, let’s go and have a look.”
Yan Qiqi smiled faintly at her and said, "Okay."
"When winter comes, the plum blossoms there will start to bloom. It will be a wonderful experience to make tea under the plum blossoms and play the piano." Yun Yixi held her hand and talked to her while walking.
"Really?" Yan Qiqi responded softly, but she didn't expect that her old lady was still a leisurely and elegant person.
Tan Feng'er stared at the retreating figures of mother and son, and the fire of jealousy in her heart instantly burned.
In the past, Yun Yixi would hold her hand wherever she went. Unexpectedly, not only did she not come to hold her hand today, she didn't even call her.
Thinking about it, Tan Feng'er's eyes showed a hint of sinisterness.
Then, he quickly chased after him.
Only after arriving at Meiyuan Yanqiqi did we know why Tan Feng'er had such a big reaction.
The courtyard of Meiyuan is very large, and the courtyard is full of plum blossoms. They are not in bloom now in the summer, but it would be a different experience if the plum blossoms bloom in winter.
There are not only plum blossoms here, but also some flowers and plants planted along the walkways. Although they are relatively common, they are elegant.
There is an artificial pond next to the courtyard, which is full of many kinds of lotus flowers. There are many beautiful small fish swimming under the wide lotus leaves.
Entering the main house, although the house is not big, the decoration inside is elegant and beautiful. Overall, it is a good place.
"Ping'er, how are you? Do you like it?" Yun Yixi said with a gentle smile.
"Looking at the loving smile on her face, Yan Qiqi felt a hint of warmth in her heart.
"Yes, I like it." He nodded and smiled softly at her.
Yun Yixi suddenly smiled and said, "As long as you like it, if you need anything, just tell mom, and she will definitely satisfy you."
He raised his hand and tucked a strand of hair from Yan Qiqi's face behind her ear.
"Ping'er, the place is being cleaned. Let's go to the pavilion by the lotus pond to chat." Yun Yixi held her hand and walked out of the house.
Yan Qiqi and Yun Yixi chatted by the lotus pond for a whole afternoon, and then it was time for dinner.
It should be said that it was Yun Yixi who said it, and Yan Qiqi would answer from time to time. Sometimes when Yun Yixi asked her questions, she had no choice but to do something interesting for her.
Although it's not funny, it can make Yun Yixi laugh heartily and get excited.
Since Tan Heng often socializes outside, Tan Xilei's return home is uncertain.
The General's Mansion doesn't have as many rules as other wealthy families. When it's time to eat, Yun Yixi and Tan Feng'er eat first.
Naturally, I will not wait for them today, and have people bring the food directly to Meiyuan and eat it here.
At the dinner table, Yun Yixi kept serving dishes to Yan Qiqi.
"Ping'er, come and try this boiled fish tofu. This is Master Liu's specialty." As he spoke, Yan Qiqi piled another piece of plump fish meat on top of his mountain-high bowl.
Naturally, Yun Yixi also saw the mountain of food in her bowl, and couldn't help but frown, "Ping'er, why do you eat so little? Is it not to your taste? If so, I'll hire some cooks later."
Yan Qiqi was speechless. It wasn't that she ate less. It was because if she ate one piece, there would be three more pieces in the bowl. Could she finish the meal if she continued like this?
However, it seems that this feeling of being taken seriously by others is really good. For the first time, I feel really happy to have a mother.
Although she was nagging a little, this kind of nagging made her feel warm and comfortable.
Yan Qiqi immediately made a bowl of red dates and lotus seeds porridge, put it in front of Yun Yixi, and said with a smile: "Mom, drink more red dates and lotus seeds porridge. Then your skin will be white, tender and shiny, and your father will be fascinated by it."
"
When Yun Yixi heard her calling her mother, she felt extremely excited.
He rolled his eyes at her and said angrily: "Damn girl, you actually made a joke about your parents."
He said so, but he still took a spoon and drank it, muttering, "It can make him fascinated even if he doesn't drink porridge, and he doesn't know anything."
Yan Qiqi laughed and said, "Well, mother is a charming beauty. How can Daddy not be fascinated by her?"
"Yes, it's hard for any man to resist my aunt's charm. Even if my aunt is with an outstanding young man, I don't see anything wrong with her." Tan Feng'er, who had always been ignored and was holding her breath while eating, immediately said to please her.
Seeing Yun Yixi only focusing on picking up food for Tan Xiping, forgetting her existence, I felt extremely jealous, but there was nothing I could do about it, because she was not my biological child.
"Shh!" Yun Yixi put down the spoon in her hand and said with a slightly sullen face, "Don't say these nonsense. It will be bad if the master hears it."
That jealous person can't bear to hear people say these things, even if they are joking.
Tan Feng'er's face was slightly startled, she squeezed the chopsticks in her hand tightly, and then smiled and said: "Yes, Feng'er said the wrong thing, Auntie, don't blame me."
In the same joke, it's so unfair that Tan Xiping smiled brightly at what he said, but she dismissed him coldly.
Thinking about it, her resentment towards Yan Qiqi increased even more.
At this time, a clear and magnetic male voice came from outside.
"So you are really here, making it easy for me to find you." Tan Xilei walked in holding a rectangular paper box that was more than half a person's height.
As soon as I arrived at the mansion, I went to the hall and saw no one. Then I went to Yunyige, but still no one. Thinking that my mother-in-law would arrange Ping'er to Yuxinyuan, I went there again, but still no one.
I had no choice but to ask a servant and found out that they were dining here.
Yun Yixi glared and said, "You also know whether you have eaten when you come back. If you haven't eaten, ask someone to bring you another set of bowls and chopsticks."
"Haha, I've eaten, mother." Tan Xilei chuckled.
Then he said to Yan Qiqi: "Ping'er, look what brother brought you."
With that said, he opened the paper box and took out a piece of yellow silk satin.
"This is Xueyun satin, made from the silk spun by the Snow Phoenix silkworm. The Snow Phoenix silkworm is only found in Feng Shang Country and is very rare. I managed to get one with great difficulty."
Tan Feng'er's eyes flashed, and she immediately rushed over, took the silk from Tan Xilei's hand, and said excitedly: "What a beautiful silk, it feels so comfortable. It will definitely look beautiful if it is made into a dress."
He reached out and tugged on Tan Xilei's sleeves, acting coquettishly and saying, "Brother Lei, I really like this piece of silk. Can you give it to me? When the clothes are made, I will be the first to wear them for you to see."
Tan Xilei frowned slightly and said patiently: "Feng'er, this cloth is for Ping'er. Later I will get you some good silk to make clothes for you."
Then, he quietly moved his body and freed the sleeves from her hands.
