C13 Han's Promise

Qingliu had seen the original owner's family after she had transmigrated to this world. Her mother and brother would come visit her every few months to bring her food and clothes. At first it was said that they were trying to get more money from her, and when Qingliu first passed through, she was skeptical.

It was just that after a long time, she did not believe these people's words. This was because every time her mother and brother came over, they would never ask for money from her. Instead, they would give her money, afraid that she was short on money. Naturally, Qingliu wouldn't take their money, but she didn't give them any either.

Qingliu walked quickly to the back door. Her brother, Lin Anran, had been here many times. The old gatekeeper recognized him as the younger brother of the head maid, Qingliu. Therefore, he told him to wait in the hallway. After Qingliu entered, she called out to the teenager sitting there, "Little brother."

Lin Anran immediately stood up and shouted, "Sister, you're here!"

Qingliu asked him to sit down, then took out several tens of large coins from her purse and passed it to the old woman. "I'll have to trouble mother to get some fine dried fruits for me on the back street. Here, I'll look after them for mother." The woman took the money and left happily.

An Ran said with restraint, "Big Sis, every time I come here, you always spend so much money. I …"

Qingliu patted his head, "It's alright. I'm happy that you came to see me. By the way, didn't you come last month? Why are you here again, but what's the matter with your family? " Her family was afraid of coming here too many times, so she added some dislike to Qingliu. Every year, she would come over two or three times.

An Ran smiled, "Sis, I've passed the exam. I'm here for the Beijing college entrance exam."

Even though Qingliu had a mature mind, she could not help but exclaim, "Really? When did you take the test? I don't even know anything about it. "

An Ran blushed slightly. "I didn't expect to pass either. I only wanted to try out for myself. I didn't expect to actually pass the exam. Mister said that my homework was still okay, so let me give it a try this time. "

Qingliu smiled and said, "Hmm, don't be too stressed. You're still young, even if you're lucky, there will still be a next time."

A voice could be heard from outside the door, "What do you mean 'wrong'?"

The two siblings turned around at the same time, only to see a woman carrying a box of food. The woman put down the box of food and turned away.

Qingliu smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

"When the Madam heard that your brother had come, she said that it wasn't easy for Big Brother Lin Family to come over. She asked the kitchen to make a few dishes and deliver them to him so you two and your brother could have a nice chat." I just had my lunch, so I asked for this job, just in time to get rid of the food. "Right, what did you two just say was false?"

Qingliu smiled slightly and replied, "It's nothing. It's my little brother who passed the exam and has become a scholar. He's come to the capital to participate in the Academy's examination."

"How old is Brother Lin this year? And you're only going to get admitted into the school? "

"He's two years younger than me. Thirteen years old this year."

"So small? He was truly a young man with a bright future ahead of him. "Good, this is a joyous occasion and I can't let you off that easily. You have to arrange wine and treat us to dinner." Fei Xu jokingly said.

Qingliu waved her hand. "I'm just a girl, how can I brazenly hold a banquet because of this? Once An Ran has passed the Elementary Scholar examination, I will definitely treat you guys to a good drink. "

"That's true. However, once your brother is admitted into the Elementary Scholar class, I'm afraid the mansion won't be able to keep you any longer." Having known Qingliu for so many years, Feixiu naturally knew what she wanted to do. Now that she saw that her friend's wish had been fulfilled, she couldn't help but feel happy for her.

She stood up and said, "Then I'll be waiting for the feast that you treat. Alright, you two and your little sister should have a good chat. I'll be leaving first."

Returning to the Yuehua Courtyard, Nanny Qi saw Fei Xu smiling all over, and could not help but ask: "Little girl, did you encounter any good news? So happy! "

Fei Xu replied with a smile, "It's not that I have good news, it's Qingliu."

Mrs. Han, who was sitting in the inner room, couldn't help but ask, "What good news does that girl Qingliu have?"

"I just received your orders and sent a few dishes over. I heard that Qingliu's brother, Brother Lin Family, has passed the Scholar examination. He is here to participate in the Beijing college entrance examination!"

Mrs. Han smiled, "This is indeed a good thing. How old is Qingliu's brother? He could be considered a young genius by being a scholar. "If that's the case, then ask him to come over later. I'll see that child."

"Yes." Feixiu accepted the order and left.

There was no need to explain the taste of the dishes cooked in Mrs. Han's kitchen. Qingliu was used to eating, so she didn't think much of it. However, this was the first time that An Ran had eaten such exquisite food. It was her first time eating so delicately. Qingliu smiled and said, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke." He poured another cup of tea and brought it to his side.

At that moment, Feiyi ran over. Seeing that the two of them had not finished eating, he anxiously said to Qingliu, "Quickly, don't eat yet. Tell your brother to pack up. The Lady wants to see him. "

Qingliu quickly pulled him up and fixed his hair in a bun. Since An Ran had come to see her sister today, she had intentionally worn a new set of clothes. Although the material was a bit inferior, it was still considered clean.

When Mrs. Han saw An Ran in person, she asked him a lot of questions. Although he was a bit nervous, he had been able to talk about things at such a young age. He was neither humble nor haughty. In his heart, he had first taken a liking to them. Although the clothes he wore were clean and tidy, they were made of ordinary materials and had thick calluses on the palms. "I don't think he's the kind of man who has a sour, perverted love affair.

She had heard from Feixiu and the others that Qingliu's family came to visit her several times a year and never asked for any silver from her. It seemed that they really did come to visit their daughter. However, scholars always paid attention to their reputation.

Thinking of this, Lady Han asked, "I heard that Lin Ge'er has already become a scholar. He is truly a fearsome future, and his future is boundless. It's just that you came here to visit your sister. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others because you have a sister who was once a servant girl?

Lin Anran replied, "Back then, mother was very ill, so this kid was still young and ignorant. It is a righteous action for me to sell myself to you as a way to save my mother and protect my younger brother.

When Han Yunxi heard this, she smiled. "Good. You're a ambitious person. I hope you remember what you said today and treat your sister well in the future." "I will put it this way today. If you are able to pass the academy's examination and become an Elementary Scholar, I will allow you to take your sister away. I don't want a single cent of her ransom."

Lin Anran said excitedly, "Are you serious, Madam?"

Mrs. Han nodded with a smile. "I'll take my word for it. If you don't pass this time, then when will you be able to pick up your sister?"

Lin Anran bowed and said, "Thank you Madam for your kindness. I will definitely take the exam with all my heart."
