"This is really embarrassing for the young lady..." she whispered.
"This embarrassment is not what we want to give her." The second young lady turned around and said, "It is what the mother wants to give her. If we don't leave, we will be embarrassing the mother. Sister, do you want to do this for this dispensable person?
, offend mother?"
Of course the eldest lady didn't dare, she lowered her head and made a noise.
Seeing her like this, the second lady was a little anxious.
"Sister, you have such a temper... sometimes you have to be tougher," she said.
The eldest lady smiled bitterly.
"What qualifications do I have to be so tough..." She murmured, "My father doesn't like my concubine, so I gave birth to another child..."
She stopped abruptly at this point and finally sighed and lowered her head.
The second young lady and the third young lady looked at each other.
"Sister, actually, why do you...have to take Yan'er with you..." The second young lady hesitated before speaking.
The eldest lady's footsteps paused.
"Because she was born to me." She said, although she still lowered her head, her tone was a little more stubborn.
The second young lady wanted to say something else, but the third young lady stretched out her hand and pulled her, shaking her head as a sign. The second young lady sighed and stopped talking.
Seeing little girls running around on the road, the second lady couldn't help but stop.
"What to do? There are no rules during the Chinese New Year?" she said.
"It's the young lady who placed fruits in Juchung Pavilion and let everyone watch the show." the little girls said hurriedly.
The three young ladies couldn't help being stunned, and turned around to look. Sure enough, they heard the sound of gongs, drums, silk and bamboo coming from the Juchung Pavilion.
Is this okay?
The three of them looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
"You are really thick-skinned..." the second young lady finally said, "it's good to have a meal..."
The three of them came to the third young master Chang Yunqi with complicated expressions.
Chang Yunqi's fever has subsided and he is a little depressed, but he is no longer seriously ill.
Because he grew up in front of the old lady, he was also very happy to see Chang Chunlan.
"How did you endure it like this?" Chang Chunlan said distressedly, "Third brother, you are well educated and will be fine in the county examination. There is no need to be like this."
Chang Yunqi smiled and said it was okay.
The second lady sneered from the side.
"It's not shameful to endure it just for the sake of the county exam. I'm afraid it's just because of the thoughts I shouldn't have." She said calmly.
"I'm willing to do it no matter what." Chang Yunqi said calmly.
The two of them are brothers and sisters from the same mother and father, but their relationship has always been a bit strange.
"I don't understand. What do you want for that woman? To get the top prize in the exam? To earn a job for her?" The second lady sneered, "Don't be stupid! What are you confused about? You have to think about it all the time.
Hold on to that woman!"
Chang Yunqi raised his head and glanced at her.
"Because I was born to her." He said calmly, not impatiently.
As soon as he said this, the room became quiet.
The eldest lady felt that her tears couldn't help but flow down.
"Master, the food is here from the kitchen." The girl replied outside the door, breaking the awkward atmosphere in the room.
The two maids each carried food boxes and smiled as they presented gifts to the ladies one by one while placing the meals on the table.
"Why are you cooking it alone again? I'm already healed, so let's eat a portion." Chang Yunqi said while looking at the food on the table.
"Master, this is what the young lady specially ordered, and she personally prepared the recipe. She said this...is..." A servant girl replied with a smile, but couldn't remember the word the young lady said, and looked at the other
Servant.
"It's a meal for candidates." Another servant said with a smile.
Chang Yunqi couldn't help but laugh. How could he have so many weird thoughts...
Looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, they were the dishes she personally selected...
"Who is it?" the second lady asked without hearing clearly.
"Young Madam." The servant girl hurriedly replied, putting the food box aside, "Young Madam said that the Third Young Master has an exam, so this is a big matter in the family. Food and drink must be prepared separately. This is called...
Call.."
"Ask one person to prepare for the exam, and the whole family will be mobilized." Another servant woman took over and said with a smile.
What? What nonsense?
The second young lady was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.
"Let me tell you, I went to the flower garden a few days ago and met the girl from your house who came to pick flowers. The flower garden lady, who usually relies on the young lady's eyes to grow to the top of her head, personally accompanied her and asked her what to prepare for the exam and what to keep her in a happy mood.
Looking at the messy flowers and plants, I thought she had changed her gender..." Miss San thought of something and laughed.
Chang Yunqi smiled but said nothing.
It turns out she arranged this too...
The second lady said nothing with a sullen face.
"Third Young Master, you have to eat well. You'll have to check it when you get home, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the Young Madam." The servant woman smiled and bowed before retreating.
Chang Yunqi smiled and picked up the chopsticks.
"Is it really arranged by the Young Madam?" The eldest lady couldn't hide her surprise, "She's not... not..."
Wasn't she almost killed by Aunt Zhou?
how…
"That's how she is." Chang Yunqi paused with his chopsticks and said calmly, "I'm offended, I'll eat first."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and started eating.
The three ladies in the room sat in silence.
What is she like...?
Qi Yue enjoyed the meal very happily, and the girls around her also had a great time. Somebody suggested playing drums and passing flowers around, so Qi Yue also came and was interested in participating. As a result, a few bold girls deliberately kept the wine in their hands several times.
I also had a few more drinks and told a few jokes, but no one made anyone laugh.
"Hey, Tangtang was walking in the snow and felt that he was so cold, so he turned into a dick... isn't it funny?" Qi Yue looked at the girls with stiff faces and said unconvinced.
The girls laughed heartily.
Qi Yue sighed, stood up, and threw the flower in her hand to the next person.
"You guys keep playing, I'm going to use the toilet," she said.
Ah Ru and Ah Hao are busy following.
"Stop following me, I'm just at home. I'm not a three-year-old child. I can follow wherever I go." Qi Yue stopped them and said, waving her hands, "Keep playing, tell them more jokes, and put my
Earn some face for me."
Ah Ru and Ah Hao both laughed and listened to her words and sat down to continue playing.
Qi Yue left the crowd and walked slowly around the small yard instead of going to the toilet. The snow was still on the trees and the red plum blossoms were blooming. Standing here, you can hear the opera singing on the stage, which is perfect for admiring flowers.
The scene was right, and she couldn't help but stop. Just as she was about to take a closer look, she heard an ouch behind the rocks, followed by the sound of the rocks falling to the ground, followed by several screams of pain, and a small figure fell in front of her eyes.
It was a child, four or five years old, who fell from the rock.
"Oh, you kid, how come you climbed so high and there's still snow?" Qi Yue hurriedly went over to help him while scolding.
The child was so frightened that he struggled to get up and run away, but fell down again just as he got up.
Qi Yue reached out to support her.
She's a little girl.
"Why are you running? Let me see if it's broken?" She smiled, trying to turn the child over.
The child was trembling like a sieve.
"Mother, mother... I'm looking for mother..." She finally couldn't control herself and cried in fear, her voice was muffled, and she didn't know whether it was because she was crying or because she fell on her mouth.
"Who is your mother?" Qi Yue said hurriedly. Seeing that the child was a little shabby in dress, he thought he was the child of a servant in the family, "I'll call her for you."
She said this and helped the child sit up. When she saw the child's face, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Is this a mask for people here?
The child's hat fell off, and his face was covered with a square scarf, which was now loose.
The child struggled to run away, but was pulled by her arm. Her big eyes were full of fear, and she suddenly reached out and pulled off the scarf.
Qi Yue couldn't help but widen her eyes and covered her mouth with her hand.
Scream! Scream! You're scared to death!
The child waited for the woman in front of him to scream and faint like everyone else who saw him, and then she could run away.
But what surprised her was that the woman in front of her just widened her eyes.
"Oh my God, cleft lip and palate!" Qi Yue said in surprise, reaching out to hold the child's shoulders, "How old are you? Let me see."
Because Ju Chunge and the third young master encountered two incidents, the three ladies lost interest in talking and soon dispersed.
Chang Chunlan walked back to Aunt Huang's yard uneasily.
"Miss, have you thought about how to tell Madam? We have to find a reason to stay like this." The woman following her whispered, with a bit of anxiety.
"I...I..." Chang Chunlan Nuonuo couldn't say it.
The woman couldn't help but sigh, and just about to say something, she saw the little girl from Aunt Huang's yard running towards her.
"Miss, has the little lady gone to find you?" the little girl shouted.
Chang Chunlan was shocked.
"No, isn't she staying here?" she asked hurriedly.
"Just now, just now, the little lady ran out by herself..." the little girl said timidly.
I searched all over Aunt Huang's yard but couldn't find it.
"Where can she go..." Chang Chunlan hid her face in the room and cried.
Aunt Huang was sitting beside her, her face even weaker because of her anxiety.
"Don't scare the talented people..." she murmured, especially the Marquis. If by any chance the Marquis sees it...
Aunt Huang shivered.
"Why did you bring her here?" she shouted, slamming the table, "Why did you keep her here?"
Chang Chunlan knelt down in front of Aunt Huang.
"Mom, I know you do it for your own good, but Yan'er is my daughter. You worry about everything, so how can I abandon her so cruelly?" She cried while holding Aunt Huang's legs.
Aunt Huang also burst into tears and hugged her shoulders.
"My poor son, what kind of evil has this done?" she cried.
Just as he was hugging his head and crying, the little girl outside the door became excited.
"The little lady is back."
These words made the mother and daughter in the room get up in shock.
A pair of pretty girls walked in holding a little girl.
"Where have you been? Why are you running around!" Chang Chunlan grabbed the little girl's hand and slapped her on the back several times, choking and shouting.
The little girl didn't cry even after being beaten.
"I want to find my mother..." she hugged Chang Chunlan's leg and said.
Chang Chunlan could no longer put down her raised hand.
"This is the fruit that the young lady likes to eat. The young lady asked me to pack a box and put it here." The neglected pretty girl said at this time, placing a box in her hand on the table.
Chang Chunlan then remembered to look at her. She had been married for a long time, and almost no one knew the girls in the family. She didn't know how to call this girl.
"Which courtyard does your sister belong to? Thank you so much." She said, with a bit of gratitude, and looked at her daughter carefully. Seeing that her scarf was well wrapped, she felt a little relieved.
"Are you from the young lady's house?" Aunt Huang asked suddenly, standing up from the kang.
Ah Hao smiled at them.
"Yes, this slave has resigned." She said, bowed again and left.
In the room, Aunt Huang and Chang Chunlan were still in shock.
"Did you run away to the young lady?" Aunt Huang murmured.
"I went to find my mother, and there was a colorful face doing somersaults on the stage there... I hid on the mountain and watched... Then I met a pretty lady..." Yan'er described intermittently.
Aunt Huang and Chang Chunlan looked at each other and were sure they had met Qi Yueniang.
"It's good that it didn't scare her," Chang Chunlan said.
Here Yan'er climbed onto the kang, took out the fruit from the food box, lifted up the scarf and put it in her mouth.
Aunt Huang looked at the child who was eating. Although she was still wearing a scarf, she could not hide the terrifying mouth and nose exposed at that time. She couldn't help but look away and turned her head sharply.
"Yan'er!" she shouted, "have you eaten at the young lady's place?" *** (To be continued)
