C275

Somehow, I was a little flustered. I pulled the target and said, "Maybe it's because I've been recovering well recently!" Lan Li didn't have much to say. Hong Qiang silently pulled on her sleeve and shook her head slightly. Lan Li could only keep her words back into her stomach.

As long as he didn't pursue the matter further!

I let out a long, secret sigh.

"Go get a basin of water and wash my face!"

After such a ruckus caused by Lan Ling, I felt sweat trickling down my temples. I had long forgotten about my dissatisfaction with Jiang Ming.

After clearing my face, I went to the west room. The two aunts were sitting opposite of me on the brick bed, talking. When they saw me walk in, they both stood up and bent their knees towards me, so I quickly took a step to the side and ordered food to be served outside. Aunt Mo took the opportunity to ask me what I had been doing all this while. "You might look young now, but if you fall sick, you will have to suffer in the future!"

Aunt Mo looked back at us several times.

But Aunt Wang was too busy nagging that she didn't notice me winking at her.

"Since it's my mother's funeral, I have to find some fresh colors for the past few years so I had no choice but to wear this for now."

I was afraid that others would say that I looked like Princess Honghua, so I generally choose the simple style of color bright. Who would've thought that something like her mother suddenly happened? She actually didn't have anything to take out to wear.

"I have a black fox cloak that is the color of the moon. You can take it and wear it!"

Aunt Wang turned around and got on the brick bed, untied her bundle and jumped from the bed.

I couldn't help but think of my mother's death. Every time Aunt Wang saw that joyful look in her eyes and knew that everything in the house passed through my hands.

That was the concern a mother would have for her child.

Although I didn't need her concern anymore, I couldn't bear to refuse, to let her down.

This was a woman with a rough life.

"Thank you, Aunt!"

Smiling, I took the cloak from her hand and curtsied to her.

"No need, no need!"

Aunt Wang quickly reached out to help me up, her eyes red. I didn't want to embarrass her, so I stood up with her strength.

Aunt Wang looked at me as I hugged her clothes and laughed as if I had gotten something good. I couldn't help but feel a little sour in my nose.

I hurriedly lowered my head and untied the ribbon tied to my jaw. I smiled and said, "I'll show you!"

Aunt Wang didn't seem to think that I would be so enthusiastic. She nodded with a smile and said, "Alright."

Aunt Mo smiled as she came up to receive the green cloak that I had taken off. She placed it on my arm to help me put on the white cloak, and praised, "I didn't expect elder sister's box to contain such a good item! Usually, when looking at her plain and simple clothes, could it be that she's keeping them for our Young Miss? "

Hearing the meaning behind Aunt Mo's words, I couldn't help but frown.

Although Aunt Wang's personality was weak, she wasn't stupid. Before I could open my mouth, she smiled and answered, "There's still three catties of nails on the broken boat!" With your little sister being pampered like this by the master, who knows how many other good items there are at the bottom of the cupboard! "

He was implying that Aunt Mo was meddling in his affairs.

His attitude was neither humble nor haughty, but it had a faint intention of refusing to be seen through the door.

Aunt Mo was not angered by my words, she laughed and smoothed out the wrinkles on my cloak. "The young lady is young, like a flower that has bones! Originally, when I saw First Miss wearing fresh clothes, I didn't want to make her more energetic by wearing these clean clothes. "

She had to be merciful and let go of others. Since Aunt Wang wasn't a real concubine, she naturally wouldn't argue with her for too long. Hearing her soft words, she smiled, making this matter worse.

The two aunts sat opposite to each other on the kang, and I ate a meal with them at the big round table at one side. I moved to the flowered armchair in front of the kang in the inner room and sat down to drink tea with the aunts.

Taking this opportunity, I started talking about family matters with Aunt Mo.

"Second Brother has been following me for the past few days. I think it's pretty good. Does Aunt have any plans for the three children?"

Even though the boy belongs to my father, I really want to hear the thoughts of my birth mother, Aunt Mo. Although it was impossible to arrange according to her wishes, he could still try his best to fulfill her conditions.

Aunt Mo held the teacup and looked at me in surprise. She didn't seem to think that I would ask her about it, so she was stunned for a while.

"Miss!"

Her voice shook a little when she called me.

I was shocked. She must have misunderstood me.

"Although I can't decide on this matter, I can at least say something. Since this matter was done by human means, I was thinking that it would be even better if we could make everyone happy! "

Tears welled up in Aunt Mo's eyes.

"Thank you, young mistress!"

Speaking of which, Aunt Mo was also a strong person. She hurriedly lowered her head and used a handkerchief to wipe her tears away.

"I never thought that someone would ask me about this!"

Aunt Mo laughed as she wiped away her tears, her voice carrying a hint of a nasal tone.

The meaning was that although he had thought about the future of his three children, he knew that he could not make the decision, so he did not intend to say it out loud.

I think that as a mother, I should know the nature of the three children very well. Although it couldn't be generalized, it was still possible to use it for reference.

Actually, what I'm more concerned about is the future of our family. It's just that all three of them are brothers, not to mention there's an elder brother who can read well in front of us.

"According to the rules, naturally I have to take over the family business. Brother Yi was the second son, so he should be sent to the branch family. "Brother Xin and Brother Cheng are very old, and only grew up when Brother Cheng took care of the family, staying at home to help his brother, or going out separately. At that time, all we can do is look at his brother's intentions."

It seemed like Aunt Mo wanted to do this in accordance with the rules of the aristocratic family.

I nodded silently to show that I understood Aunt Mo's thoughts.

"Miss …" "You …"

Aunt Mo looked at me and hesitated.

I hurriedly shook my head. "Like you, I can't decide on this matter. I know what you mean, but in the end, I still need father to decide on it!"

Aunt Mo was discouraged, but she still held the cup of tea and took a few sips.

I didn't expose her and chatted with the two aunts for a while. After eating half an apple, I brought Lan Lingyun back to the east.

"You guys should go down and rest as well!"

After rushing along with me all morning, the maidservants still have to attend to us. I'm afraid that by this time, they have long been exhausted to the point of having a sore back.

Lan Su knew that I wouldn't stand on ceremony with her servants. She said that she really wanted them to leave so she could go rest. Smiling, she bowed and left.

The maidservants in my yard have always been following Lan Ling's lead. Now that they see their elder sister leaving, they naturally followed her.

"You stay here and help the young miss watch the door!"

Lan Lian turned around and instructed the girl behind her.

This is a big girl that I specially groomed for our family. Presumably, she can also feel that she is special.

The young girl quickly curtsied and agreed. She carefully closed the door after sending her sisters out. Then, she walked back in.

"Go and lie on the bed!"

Laughing, I got out of the bed and lay on the bed I had brought with me. I pointed to the Rohan bed at the side.

Sister Su shook her head and carefully helped me tuck the quilt in.

Looking at her gentle expression, I couldn't help but smile.

He was clearly Lan Li's disciple, but he actually taught her the temperament of a green bandit.

She was very lively when he first saw her.

I am a quiet person, the room is lifeless all year round, I love to be lively, like these girls who can talk and laugh. The family was young, so they had to serve those who were thick and silent. They would not talk so much to harm their master.

It seems that Lan Li treated the task I gave her seriously as a matter of course!

Although Lan Li was lively and lively, she rarely did anything wrong or said anything wrong. And the most lively extroverts are more impulsive and often do things they regret on impulse, so I put in an extra effort to pay attention to this girl.

He didn't know when to look, but when he saw who it was, he was shocked.

From all the details of Lan Li's life, it could be seen that she was a rare and intelligent person. In the eyes of a lowly maidservant, she was an untouchable elder sister in charge. However, she was amiable and benevolent, and often gave them candy and pastries. As a result, the maidservants had the best relationship with her and respected her the most. In the eyes of the lowly mothers, Lan Jun was the most experienced and reliable girl around me. They would carry anything they wanted to talk to Lan Li about. Lan Li said that she would definitely do it if she could, but Lan Ling couldn't. No matter who she found, she wouldn't be able to do it, so in the eyes of those mothers at the bottom, Lan Li was someone who could do what she wanted. In the mouths of the maidservants who were on the same level as Lan Li, Lan Lingyun was a distance closer to her. Normally, she was on the same level as everyone else, but in terms of business, she was meticulous when it came to greeting everyone, so among the girls who were on the same level as her, there were some who would usually chat and laugh with her, but the only one who could be considered a good sister was Lu Kou. In the mouths of those mother managers, Lan Ling was a famous "spicy" person. Normally, when she spoke, her face would be as sweet as honey, and not a shred of face would be left behind. Because of this, these mothers would rather come to me because of something, rather than play in front of Lan Lan.

At such a young age, it was hard to find such a method.

From top to bottom, there was no one in the mansion who didn't praise Lan Leng for her exquisite bearing. This was also why when Lan Li and Hong Chang heard their mother and father argue, Hong Chang was already prepared with her dowry, and was only waiting to be released after next year's Lantern Festival, while Lan Li still steadily stayed as her manager.

Even if you have my protection, you still need to have true ability. Grandmother knew that the Yang family would not be able to do anything without the help of Lan Yuan.

"Your sister Lan Li taught you very well!"

I smiled and nodded at my sister.

The little girl's face turned red from embarrassment. Although she lowered her head, she still said in a soft voice, "Elder sister said that I can't lose face for her!"

I smiled.

In the end, his nature was hard to change, and once he spoke, he revealed his previous skipping personality.

In the end, he still had to praise Lan Lingyun for teaching so well, and he himself was not bad either.

I had always admired this sort of person who had courage and confidence, so I smiled and praised her a few times before falling asleep.

When he woke up, he felt a cool breeze blowing on his face. Faintly, he could smell the fragrance of the Gardenia Flower wafting from the wind onto his face, making him feel very comfortable.

I smiled and opened my eyes.

Seeing that the young girl was sitting on the edge of the brick bed and fanning me, seeing that I had woken up, her eyes twinkled like crescent moons. She sweetly smiled and said, "You're awake!"

I couldn't help laughing.

It was late autumn, so why did they slap each other?

Even in the middle of the summer, I didn't slap the servant girl. I felt that it was too tormenting.

"Are your hands sore?"

I smiled and touched her head.

The girl smiled shyly and nodded, looking a bit cute and innocent.

I gathered up my hair and looked out. It was only when I saw the Bodhisattva Guanyin in the middle of the hall that I realized I wasn't at home.

"What time is it?"

Sis pushed open the window and looked outside. She closed the window and came back to pour me a cup of tea.

"Sister will be here for you in an hour!"

I looked at her in surprise.

"You know how to watch a corona?"

Sister Xu smiled and nodded, "Father taught me!"

Sister Ji's father was the eldest son of Mother Du. The head storekeeper of the Yang family in the capital would not be surprised by the sun, and it was normal for his daughter to have more experience than the maids.

I nodded with a smile, drank a cup of tea, and found the fern I had just taken off from the kang to put on.

I couldn't fasten the buttons on my ribs for a long time. The young mistress was also very busy and sweating. She apologized in a low voice, "I have never seen a button like this before!"

I smiled and shook my hand at her. I took it off and put it back on the kang. "It's a new style from the capital. I didn't learn it!"

The two of us looked at each other helplessly and smiled. The atmosphere was extremely joyous.

Looking at the carefree smile on my sister's face, I suddenly had a thought.

Did she just fan me because she saw me sweating when I was sleeping? Not only was he fanning himself, he had even specially placed a scented sachet in order to let the cool and refreshing wind blow on him.

Such a meticulous person wouldn't have any thoughts about his future, right?

I thought of Aunt Mo's words, "In the future, we will have to leave the residence."

How easy was it to be spoken of by Aunt Mo?

However, if it was really that simple, how could there be so many people who would rather be admired by people at home than split their homes and go out on a single trip?

If the eldest son was kind and gave his younger brother more money, then it would be fine. But if the brother was stingy and sent away like this, who would be shameless enough to come and make trouble for him?

Unless his little brother had power and influence, who would be willing to let go of the leg that had already been established as the son of the Zong Clan and follow a little brat to ruin the family etiquette!

To put it bluntly, what was being tested was one's ability to survive.

If his younger brother had the ability to independently support the sect, he was afraid that even if his younger brother didn't say anything, his younger brother would still want to open his own residence and go out. Since they had the capital to survive, who would be willing to fall out with the family? They might be able to get along with the family and split their debts with them.

However, this way, the path ahead of the family would be a bit more difficult, so the servants and instructors should be more careful in choosing who was in charge.
