"This lowly concubine is actually here to thank xiaojie!"

Lan Li came to change the tea for me, and Aunt Mo hurried to change the bowls of pink longevity peach buns that were placed in front of me with a handkerchief. Her respectful attitude was comparable to the servants at my side.

Because Aunt Mo still had her three children with her, and she didn't know when her grandma would recover. Her three little brothers would probably have to follow by her side. However, if one were to choose a large courtyard, it would be better to have an Imperial Concubine on the surface than to be there. Moreover, apart from the Yinxiang Courtyard at the back of his grandmother's house, there would be no other suitable courtyard for the size. However, this place was originally used to be used by his father when he was young. Not only was it located at the back of the main courtyard, it was also directly connected to the outside world.

Because of this, I thought over and over again, then gave Aunt Mo the "Yiyun Pavilion" in the southeast corner of the flower garden, and told her that Mother Song would only bring people over when the time came.

The two courtyards were of the same style. The main house in the front was for the master to live in, while the middle hall was for the master to listen to. Both sides of the pavilion were for the servants to live in. The courtyard was surrounded by a long line of houses for the mothers of the night watchmen.

Now that she's here to thank me, I can explain a little bit to her.

"We'll talk about the Mid-Autumn Festival another day, you can leave for now!" I waved to the matron mothers in the room.

The mothers said in unison that they were going to kneel down and leave.

Aunt Mo stood behind me as if she were a servant girl.

I couldn't help but laugh.

When I first heard that all three children called her Aunt, I thought she was a very cautious person. At this moment, seeing her intentionally act so respectful in front of the servant woman, I also felt very grateful for her sincerity.

The relationship between people tends to be smoother if it is based on a friendly attitude.

"Go and get a little Wu Dan! Come and sit with me!" I smiled at Lan.

Aunt Mo thanked him profusely again before sitting down.

"I have indeed wronged my concubines by letting my concubines stay at the Yiyun Pavilion, but this matter of entering the palace came in a hurry. I didn't have much of an idea, so I could only let my concubines stay in the Warm Pavilion for now. However, behind the Yiyun Pavilion was a small bamboo forest. At that time, they could just open the door to the aunt's yard and build a small yard for their younger brothers. At this moment, all the women in the family have no one to take care of this matter. I have to wait for my father's return before I can make any plans! "

Actually, I have other thoughts in my mind.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to bring her a child, as Grandmother meant. Looking at the way the three younger brothers talked and behaved, I guessed that my grandmother would most likely take a fancy to this older brother. It's just that he's eight years old and he can't keep me in the yard anymore. Grandmother would probably raise the child herself and let me go every day. If that was the case, then his father's old residence, the Fragrance Court, would be of use.

This way, he would build a small courtyard for his five-year-old second brother, and only the three-year-old third brother would have to wait for three or four more years before he would be able to get his own courtyard assigned to him.

"Miss, you're overthinking things. Your concubine's view of the courtyard is very good, and it's also very close to the aunt. I can't possibly have a companion like you!"

Aunt Mo's smiling face was like a pure and white lotus flower.

It took me a moment to realize who the aunt she was referring to was …

When she found out the truth, would she regret calling her 'aunt' today?

I cleared my throat and said, "Aunt Wang has a weak character. I hope that Aunt Mo can take good care of her!"

Aunt Mo gave me an ambiguous smile and blinked her eyes. She pursed her lips and smiled for a moment before weakly replying, "I understand!"

I didn't even need to think to know that Aunt Mo might mistake me for the daughter of my mother, who was born under the name of Aunt Wang.

However, I didn't intend to explain. I just carried a cup of tea and said, "If Aunt has already packed up, why don't you come with me to see Grandmother?"

I'm afraid that her front foot came through my door, and that Grandma Back foot already knew about her arrival. If he didn't bring her to see his grandmother, it would be against the rules.

"Why don't we call the young masters over …" Aunt Mo was a little hesitant, obviously thinking that it would be more beneficial for her if she could call her sons over to pay respects to her grandma.

I couldn't help but shake my head. Even though Aunt Mo was smart, she wasn't as sharp due to living outside for so long.

"If you can call your younger brother over as well, then auntie will be like a beautiful woman, and your younger brothers will be so naive and adorable. Would it be better for Grandmother to see your aunt first, or your younger brothers first?"

I wanted to tell her gently. As an old lady, she naturally had something to instruct her aunt to do; but as a grandmother, she also had to ask her grandchildren who she had met the first time. Aunt Mo listened to what was said to her brothers, but her brothers could not bear to hear what was said to Aunt Mo.

After a moment of blankness, Aunt Mo understood the meaning of my words. She stood up from the brick bed and supported me with a smile, "It's because I'm too shallow with my knowledge!"

I smiled and accompanied Aunt Mo to Aunt Chen's room, just in time for Aunt Chen to have dinner outside. When she saw me accompanying Aunt Mo, she hurriedly smiled and said, "This must be Sister Mo!" I have long heard that you came to the Palace today, but my health is not good, so I didn't go and pay my respects to you. " She smiled as she asked if I had eaten dinner. After hearing that I had not eaten yet, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Young Mistress, what do you like to eat? Let the kitchen add two more dishes!"

Recently, Aunt Chen had become more obedient.

"This is our family's Aunt Chen." I introduced myself to Aunt Mo with a smile, but she wasn't surprised at all.

It seemed like she had already figured out what was on the surface at home.

"How dare you bow to elder sister!" Aunt Mo quickly stepped forward, and kneeled down before him, "It should be me who pays my respects!"

Seeing that Aunt Chen's body was unwieldy, she stepped forward to help her up with a smile. "Elder sister, quickly don't be so courteous. It's not good to injure this little brother!"

With that, Aunt Chen's expression changed and she felt uncomfortable all over.

It was understandable just thinking about it.

Aunt Chen was willing to give herself to her father because she believed in her eldest son's reputation. She didn't expect a lady like Aunt Mo to appear out of thin air. Even if she gave birth to her son, she would only be a Fourth Young Master. Last night when I was writing a letter, Lu Kui came to tell me that when Aunt Chen heard the news, she immediately dropped the teacup in her hand. Because Grandmother lived in the greenhouse, she didn't dare to make a ruckus, but she still cried fiercely a few times.

Seeing the weariness in her eyes, I couldn't help but sigh, but I should have known sooner or later, I might as well have let the child know where I was from the moment he was born.

Aunt Mo looked thoughtfully at the woman in front of her.

"Many thanks, Lady Chen. It's just that your dishes are so tasteless for me, so I won't take advantage of you!"

Ever since the incident, Aunt Chen had put very little salt in her mouth, as if it was boiled in white water. Coincidentally, Huang Gangzhong repeatedly told his grandma to reduce the amount of salt and oil used, and the two of them ended up having a meal together. It was just that in the past few days, her grandmother had not been in good health and did not go out much, so the two of them had separate meals.

"Then I won't delay the young miss any longer!"

It seemed that Aunt Chen didn't want to see Aunt Mo to make herself feel uncomfortable, so when she heard that we didn't keep any food or ask for it, she smiled and walked us to the door of the Warm Pavilion. Then, with the support of the Zhou family, she went back to the inner room.

Grandmother was sitting on the kang talking to Mama Du. She nodded when she saw me enter with a serious expression on her face. Smiling, I introduced Aunt Mo to Grandmother and Mother Du. Together with Mother Du, we left the greenhouse and left the house for Grandmother and Aunt Mo.

"Young Miss, please come to the east wing for tea!" Mother Du smiled and invited me out.

I smiled at the big red buck deer, which was quietly lowering its head, and followed my mother to the east wing.

Now that I'm in charge of the house, I'm not afraid that Grandmother won't tell me what's going on.

Mother Du poured me a cup of Da Hong Pao and placed it in front of me. She only smiled as she talked about the Dong Family's Xi Family. Apparently, she only wanted to stall for some time.

"Is Sister Su better?" I smiled and sipped my tea.

The taste was bitter, long and sweet.

It was the best Da Hong Pao!

"Miss Lao, it's great that you're concerned. It's just that I've been busy these days, so I didn't bring you here to take a look. "

"I think we should do it tomorrow!"

Mama Du's face was a little unsightly, but I was smiling to myself.

There was no better way to get to Doudou than from her daughter.

The inner and outer courtyard were connected since ancient times. Although this had been the male lead and female lead since the ancient times, but who could be so distinct and distinct? What's more, the inner chamber's debt could only be paid after they had gone to the outer court to clear the way. Currently, this Shopkeeper Du alone manages the Yang Family's biggest business and is the head steward of the capital. Only by obtaining his approval can I naturally suppress those small stewards working in the outer court.

However, this Shopkeeper Du was extremely strict. Not even King Qi's men could find anything amiss about him, they only said that he doted on his little daughter.

What I can think of, Mama Du is not confused.

"Mom, you should know as well. Although I'm still young, Grandma saw that my actions are still accurate, so she wanted me to help her lead the siblings." If this little sister was following by my side, I would naturally have to carefully discipline her. No matter what, I cannot let this child ruin his future. "

Mother Du was still pursing her lips and looking calm and silent.

"This matter isn't urgent. Why don't you go back and discuss it with your son's wife?" I smiled and took a sip of my tea.

In just a short while, the tea in front of him had already cooled down.

I got up and tidied up my clothes before returning to my grandmother's room. I saw Aunt Mo standing by my grandmother's side as she respectfully prepared some food. When she raised her head, her eyes were a little red.

"Grandmother!" I smiled and squatted down to pay my respects, smiling at Aunt Mo with the corners of my mouth pulled up.

She lowered her head.

The person who was talking and laughing with me a moment ago, why are you so restrained now?

Did Grandmother tell her that I was going to choose a younger brother to take with me?

But Grandmother had never even seen a child before, so how could she lift it without thinking?

My heart was filled with doubts, and I couldn't help but slap a few more circles on my grandmother's and Aunt Mo's face …

Grandmother drank a red date and lily soya chicken soup with ease, while Aunt Mo, who was standing at the side, pressed her head down so that I couldn't see her expression.

In a situation like this, I have always followed the principle of minimalism.

My whole body broke out in a cold sweat as I ate only a few mouthfuls of the food.

After serving dinner, Grandmother left me to drink some tea, but I didn't even have time to eat a mouthful of food before she dismissed me.

"I meant for you to have three children!"

Mommy Du, who was serving me some tea, suddenly shook her wrist and emitted a crisp sound of something touching porcelain.

What?

I actually want to bring three younger brothers with me?

"But …" I couldn't help but look at Grandmother with a troubled expression.

"Don't worry, they're living in my courtyard. They'll just be taking care of everything under your control!"

My dear grandmother!

It's in your yard, don't they want to eat and drink and scatter? Moreover, she's a child of half a year of age. She has to read books and play around with others. I might not even be able to look after her, let alone look at three of them. The remaining two were five years old and one was three years old. I was the one who had taken them away from Aunt Mo when they were still dependent on her, but this mother and son were born of their own nature. How could I rely on the title of the eldest young mistress to restrain them?

Unless they had other motives, how could they possibly develop such an intimate relationship? Rather than thinking like this, it was better to let the remaining two children grow up happily by their mother's side. When they reached their age, it would be even more appropriate for them to understand the principle of courtesy!

After making up my mind, when I told my grandmother about it, my grandmother unexpectedly also hesitated a little. She only sighed and said, "Let me think about it a little more! "…" I couldn't help but be even more surprised. Since when did my honest grandmother show such weakness?

Since this matter could not be settled for the time being, and seeing that Grandmother looked exhausted, I hurriedly helped her to rest and let her out of the house with Mother Du.

"Miss, when do you think I'll take that child to see you?"

Seeing that my grandmother was prepared to hand over the upbringing of her three children to me, Mother Du started to scheme for her grandson's future.

To be able to stay by his grandmother's side for so many years, he was naturally not a fool.

"I think it's the beginning of the afternoon!" I smiled as I stood at the door of the pavilion and promised her, "The mothers of those few days have already returned to their posts, so I can take a good look at the child."

'Look carefully 'means that you won't necessarily accept it, it depends on whether the child is willing to accept it or not.

Mother Du knew that this was due to her previous rejection. She immediately smiled as she praised me with words of praise, and sent me out.

After a spin, I returned to Aunt Chen's main house. Seeing that she was sitting on the bed and silently weeping, Zhou Baili Mu's family immediately went up to comfort her with a few words of consolation. They even analyzed the pros and cons with her for a while, and only after she had sobbed and taken back her tears did they leave the main house together with the Orchid Goose.

"Miss!" A figure emerged from the darkness by the wall and called out to me with a sobbing tone.
