"Yes …" Fourth Sister and I had originally planned to look for Third Brother to ask him about poetry, but who would have thought that Third Brother would go out instead, so our grandson and daughter stayed there to read a few books. "
What Chu Qinghuan said was the truth, but Old Mistress felt more and more that Chu Qinghuan was pretending to be calm. Hearing her words, he nodded his head and shook it, "It is not good for a daughter to go to the front courtyard, but your Third Brother loves you, and that is another story. I heard that Chen'er was teaching your brother how to read and write recently?"
Sure enough, the Old Mistress was playing a game of marriage with him. At first, Chu Jinfu did this, but now, she did this again. Old Mistress, do you really think I would be trapped in this?
Fuer and I are close because Fuer is indeed good to my brother, but Chu Yunxi is Chu Yunxi and Chu Wenchen is Chu Wenchen. Even if they are siblings, I will only show mercy to Chu Wenchen.
If Chu Yunxi really had no eyes, and wanted to make a move on me, could it be that I will just sit there and wait for death?
"Yes, the Third Brother is very warm-hearted, and extremely good for me."
Your second uncle's family has always been pretty good. Your aunt is my niece, and she was virtuous when she was at home, and she had to take care of your uncle after raising him for so many years, so her education of Yun Xi and Lian'er was still lacking. Today, when Yun Xi said those words, it was because of the speed of his speech, and it was my fault for being old.
Chu Qinghuan suddenly wanted to laugh. Old Mistress, could you clearly remember the words that the Old Master said to you fifteen years ago when he was on his deathbed, but could you not remember the promise that he made to Chu Yunxi three years ago?
What's more, what's the use of Nanny Lin? How much do you think you'll believe?
Only, even though she was filled with disdain, Chu Qinghuan still carried a faint smile on her face, "Fourth Sister is straightforward, so it's not really a big deal."
A faint smile surfaced on Old Mistress's face when she heard this, but before she could relax, her expression suddenly changed.
"It's just that, when Fourth Sister goes back to promise me this, it won't be good to say it out loud. After all, the words and actions of the daughter who goes out represent the good name we,, have for a hundred years. What do you think?"
A strange look flashed past Old Mistress's eyes. She did not expect that Chu Qinghuan would actually use the hundred years of clear reputation of her Chu Family to suppress her.
She would definitely not care about what Chu Yunxi said and would not pursue this matter.
But if Chu Yunxi were to say anything less than three or four after she got married, that would be sullying Chu Family's reputation!
At that time, Chu Family would suffer a crushing defeat, but there would be nothing to regret.
Actually, the side had all the ingredients, even the cumin powder wasn't lacking. Chu Qinghuan's lips raised into a smile. The venison that had just been roasted still had a burning heat to it, but when it was eaten to her stomach, it was actually very refreshing.
Last time when he was eating the roast deer meat, wasn't it with Yun Jianying and his master? After not seeing her for a long time, she started to miss her master. After all, there were not many people in this world who were good to her for no reason, and her master was one of them.
After all, Old Mistress was someone who had immersed herself in training for dozens of years. She quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, your aunt is a proper person, she will naturally teach you well …"
Looking at Chu Qinghuan's smiling eyes, Old Mistress's eyes flashed with a trace of fear. Madame Chang was indeed well-prepared, but Chu Yunxi was not stupid, if she could convince Chu Qinghuan, then she could only speak the truth.
And this truth, was actually a secret that had been hidden in the The Backyard of The Prime Minister'S Estate for more than ten years!
Four eyes facing each other, Old Mistress felt that Chu Qinghuan's eyes were filled with ridicule. It was a pair of eyes that were questioning him, and also a pair of eyes that was mocking him.
However, Chu Qinghuan slowly lowered her head, she would never have imagined that her act of borrowing a person's life to kill would actually benefit her.
"It was also because I was muddle-headed and forgot about this matter. Second sister, you've been back for so long. It just so happens that you opened your ancestral temple on the new year, so you should write your name on the family tree."
That was what he had been waiting for!
Chu Qinghuan stood up and bowed towards the Old Mistress, "Your grandson's daughter thanks Old Mistress for her grace."
Hearing this, the corner of Old Mistress's mouth didn't have the slightest hint of a smile.
When Nanny Lin returned, she saw Chu Qinghuan walking out. She couldn't help but to welcome him, "This servant will send you back?"
Chu Qinghuan heard and laughed. She looked at Nanny Lin and said sincerely: "It's such a cold day, I don't need to trouble mother. I just happened to be back."
Feng Mei was empty-handed, her face had a look of helplessness, "Young miss, this servant, Qing Tan, Zhao Zi and the others searched our courtyard, and the cumin powder has actually disappeared, who knows which gluttonous person took it away."
If I waited for your cumin powder, I would probably starve to death. What treasure does Old Mistress not have? Let's go back. Nanny Lin, the older the better, you better take care of him. "
Nanny Lin watched as Chu Qinghuan left, and immediately turned around to enter, only to see Old Mistress leaning on the bed, her face filled with dejection. She was just about to step forward to ask when she heard Old Mistress's words: "Tell me, the Second Girl is obviously 70% similar to her mother, why is her temper so different?"
Thinking back to what Chu Qinghuan had just said, Nanny Lin immediately understood that even Old Mistress was unable to get anything good from him.
"Cloud... Madam is a merciful person, so the Second Miss must be a good person as well. "
Now that things had progressed to this point, the Old Mistress also understood that Chu Qinghuan was no longer the useless Second Miss who had just entered the palace. She couldn't help but sigh and say, "Go and tell Jin Yue to discipline the four little girls properly.
Hearing that, Nanny Lin was stunned, but she quickly consoled: "Old Mistress doesn't have anything to say, today's matter can't be blamed on you, Fourth Miss has soft ears, but I must keep this huge matter in my heart."
Nanny Lin's words were directed towards Chu Qinghuan, but putting aside Second Miss's methods, if Old Mistress really wanted to deal with today's matter impartially, then she shouldn't be beating Second Miss up.
Even Second Wife knew that his daughter had a petty personality, and even wanted to protect her, so it was no wonder Second Miss would throw a tantrum.
Furthermore, Nanny Lin was trembling slightly in fear. Second Miss's methods … She really couldn't be underestimated.
Old Mistress did not expect Nanny Lin to say these words, but upon hearing it she was stunned. After a long while, he said: "Do you think I have done wrong?"
Even though Fourth Sister has her parents and brothers, she doesn't have any strong support. She can't be compared to Second Sister, who has Grand Princess and 8000 years of age supporting her from behind.
In the blink of an eye, the already knew what she was thinking, "Old Mistress is right, but those are things that the Second Miss earned by relying on his own abilities."
His two granddaughters that he doted on the most wouldn't be able to earn this honor. Thinking about what he had just told Chu Qinghuan about how they had entered the family tree, Old Mistress's heart turned cold, "Forget it, I'll just send the fresh venison over to the Zilan Academy for the second girl. If it's me, I, this old woman, will apologize to her."
The Nanny Lin moved swiftly and nimbly, and after serving the Old Mistress well, he instructed the servant girl to take care of the Old Mistress, and herself carried the box of food to the Zilan Courtyard. Inside the house, Chu Qinghuan and a dozen of the servant girls were eating chestnuts around the stove.
"I thought you smelled the fragrance from far away. Turns out the Second Miss is bringing everyone to eat. I wonder how much face I have left?" Can you try something fresh? "
Looking at the Nanny Lin, the few maidservants in the Zhi Lan courtyard were all a little reserved. Even Zhao Fen had hurriedly placed the chestnuts that she had snatched with much difficulty onto a plate, and stood there without daring to move. The Nanny Zhou however smiled and said, "Then we'll have to see what delicious things you brought, Nanny Lin."
Nanny Lin handed over the food box and laughed: Old Mistress has been busy watching Second Miss for a long time, but did not eat much.
In the end, they were still Old Mistress. Even if they knew, they wouldn't apologize to a junior like him, however … Seeing that Nanny Lin had sat down, Chu Qinghuan smiled and said, "Nanny Lin has already said so. Go and bring over the grill and the seasonings.
Hearing that, the smile on Nanny Lin's face became even wider, as expected, Second Miss took my olive branch.
Chu Qinghuan personally acted, and the two old gals guarding the gate also received a small plate of venison. Immediately, the smile on their faces spread wide, and they said while drinking the wine: "This kind of rare thing, where have we ever eaten it before? It is all thanks to the good fortune of Second Miss."
The other woman quickly drank a mouthful of wine and said: "Isn't that so? This venison was personally grilled by the Second Miss, it's the first time we've had it. Even the wine we drank today was the finest rice wine produced in Jiangnan.
"Speaking of which, we were lucky. At first, I thought that this Zilan Academy was a hard job, but who would have thought that it would be now? In summer, there was green bean soup for vigil, and hot wine for winter. Who else in the courtyard would have such a soup … Oh, Nanny Lin, are you leaving? "
The two wives hurriedly stood up, but they saw that Zhao Zi and Zhao Fen were following behind Nanny Lin, "I said go back by yourself, Second Miss won't let you, so I would like to trouble you two to leave the door open for these two sisters."
"Nanny Lin, don't worry. Although the snow has stopped and the ground is slippery, Nanny Lin and the two ladies should be careful."
After everyone had left, Chu Qinghuan carried a plate of chestnuts into the bedroom, and couldn't help but ask: "Young miss, are you hungry now that you gave us some barbecue? How about this servant go and find some snacks for you? "
Who would have thought that they would be caught by the Thorny Eyebrow eyes, Chu Qinghuan's face became slightly hot, and she waved her hand: "No need, it's just that the chestnuts are delicious, I want to eat a few more."
He did not expect the usually calm Second Miss to think of secretly eating chestnuts. With a smile, he covered his mouth and said, "Then I'll warm up the little miss's tea. If she's thirsty in the middle of the night, I'll take a sip."
Chu Qinghuan felt that her ears were all burning hot. She must have been possessed by a ghost to bring this plate of chestnuts in.
After making the bed, the thrush left. However, Chu Qinghuan held her teacup and stared at the plate of chestnuts, lost in thought.
"Little girl, if you keep staring at this chestnut, it won't get pregnant."
The tea in his mouth sprayed out, coincidentally all of it sprinkled onto the face of the person opposite him. Chu Qinghuan wanted to laugh, but when she saw Ji Fengye's face which had instantly turned slightly colder, his smile was hidden away.
After wiping away the tea on his face, Ji Fengye smiled seductively: "Is this how you welcome our Director? "Seems like your words are not true, little girl."
Thinking back to the words that he had vaguely said last night, Chu Qinghuan's face reddened, but she placed some of the plate inside, "I left it for you for free."
Ji Fengye was a man of such character, upon hearing that, he immediately cut off the plate, "So it's our Director who has misunderstood."
The roasted chestnut was still warm as it fell into Chu Qinghuan's hands. Chu Qinghuan was a little confused, but she met those eyes, "Since you want to curry favor with me, then you have to do it well."
It was clearly serious words, but when Chu Qinghuan heard it, she blushed. However, her fingers nimbly peeled off the chestnut's skin and took it off before she stuffed it back into Ji Fengye's mouth. Chu Qinghuan said with a little anger: "Even if I eat something, it won't be able to stop your mouth."
However, Ji Fengye took the opportunity to hold her finger, and lightly sucked. After that, he loosened his thin lips and said: "It's delicious." It was unknown if he was talking about chestnut or Chu Qinghuan's finger.
Chu Qinghuan's face turned as red as a sheet. Just as she was about to stand up, he fell into Ji Fengye's arms and said, "I really want to, if there's anything better, why don't you try it with me, Qing Huan?"
She knew that she had made a mistake.
