C296

At that time, it was already the second half of the day. It was the time when one's sleep was the deepest, and one's sleepiness was the densest.

I also can not avoid vulgarity, especially the four big fire red charcoal brazier, warm as spring, let me heavy eyelids, drowsy.

She was first escorted into the inner room, where she washed her face and combed her hair. Although she was still in the middle of her filial mourning, it was still a matter of a housekeeper after all, so she couldn't appear in front of her servants as if she had lost her virginity.

I put on a thin layer of makeup and a layer of blubber to look at the girl in the mirror. Her face was like a protein. Her eyebrows were slightly raised and her lips were full of power. Only then did I put the plain brocade handkerchief back on the mirror.

After sitting in front of the mirror for a while, Lan Lin came in and asked, "Where do I see her?"

The people of the north prefer a spacious house. Although our Yang family came from the south, we can't help but follow the customs of the country.

Like my yard.

The front and the back had a total of three moves. First in, three rooms in the center, two rooms on the left and one on the right.

As she was at the outermost part of the courtyard, there were many women walking about, so she was not very quiet. Furthermore, since she was leaning against the outside of the courtyard, if she were to be a bedroom, she would have to step into the bedroom whenever she met someone who came to visit.

Even though it was a good thing that they had a good family background, it meant that they were close to each other. However, due to the fact that I was running away with Xuelang, it sounded rather disgraceful. In my heart, I secretly abstained from asking others about my private affairs, so I stuck a knife into my heart. As a result, I have never been drawn into my inner chamber.

Although this life was very different from the previous one, it was still a new life. However, I am already used to this kind of tranquility. I might as well maintain my previous life's habits and properly arrange my first entry.

Qing vase, Ru kiln bowl, sweet white porcelain beauty shrug bottle, Zheng Xie's thin bamboo, Huang Yun's plum, specially selected those expensive and elegant, interesting and dignified, with a set of mahogany Song furniture, saved into a quite elegant, the daughter of the room welcome living room.

However, it was not suitable to see a servant.

Furniture from Song Dynasty paid the most attention to the essence of bones.

On the topic of simplicity.

It was like a footstep and a teacup. They were all made with the utmost care and care for their wealth. They were all naturally formed.

These pieces of furniture, in the eyes of the scholarly and elegant, and the noble ladies, were elegance and character. However, in the eyes of these servants, they were just broken tables and chairs. Not only were they unable to suppress them in terms of aura, they even made them laugh in secret.

That's right, she threw her charming eyes at the blind man!

Rejecting the first step, I continued to ponder.

Because the second place is the five rooms in a row, it's both spacious and warm, and in the middle, it's neither too noisy nor too quiet, so it just became my bedroom.

The main hall in the center of the courtyard was only decorated normally. There was only a single bell in the main hall. This was the rule for all the people in my courtyard to do as they pleased. The two rooms on the east wing were both decorated in elegance. Inside, one of them should have been made of pear wood furniture with clear lacquer. It had the word 'You' in it.

The two rooms on the west were very different from the one on the east. It was a piece of rosewood furniture with complicated carvings. From vase, porcelain pillow, to tea cup, tea play, all should be bright colors, gilt silver, take out a rich and prosperous weather, even the flowers, such as peonies, peonies and other beautiful flowers. The first time I had been able to sleep in the east, the five lambs were set up in the Hundred Treasure Walk Bed for my daily use.

At this moment, my second blood related brother is resting there.

I pondered for a while before saying, "Bring them to the back room!"

The rear covering room was the main house of the third courtyard. The maids lived in one of the rooms in the third courtyard. The main house had been well-decorated before, so it was used as a guest room. However, since no one had actually come to stay for many years, Miss Wen had come to play a few times, and had rested there at noon. Although he had never neglected to do so, in the end, he lacked some popularity, and was not as exquisite or wealthy as the main house.

Lan Lingyun seemed to have expected that I would make such arrangements. She withdrew her brows and faintly smiled.

Although the room was wide and there was a thick cotton curtain in the middle, it was better not to talk in the east room because they were sleeping next door.

Even deeper, I didn't want him to see how hard I worked with my underlings.

Whenever I brought along a housekeeper to teach him how to see the evils of the human heart, I often hesitated as to whether this was a good or a bad thing.

Even though there was a storm outside, he should not be protecting the child in his little embrace. But he is not more than eight years old, the age of other children foolishly playing, let me personally destroy a brilliant innocence, I also can not bear to.

Every now and then, I would mutter to myself.

If you don't want him to end up like me, then don't have any hopes of getting lucky!

But today, I wavered again.

Just as a comfort to myself, in these minor matters, give him some warmth I can do.

He put on his coat, changed his boots, put on his cloak, and went to see his family. Although he was sleeping soundly, it could be seen that he was not in a happy dream.

Leaving Tao'er in the inner room, I went to the back room, escorted by Lan Ling, Lan Xi, and Lan Xin.

Cui Er and Gan Sanquan's family were already being watched by their mothers, waiting inside the house. The lights had already been turned on. The earth dragon was burning inside the house. The fire brazier was lit. The decorations were neat and tidy, giving off a solemn aura.

I glanced at Cui'er.

"Take her away first."

In front of the mothers, Lan Bing seemed to have an air of steadfastness. The women hurriedly agreed to Vi's request and escorted Gan Sanquan's family out, but no one knew where she went.

The two maidservants hesitated for a moment, then they lowered their hands and left with their mothers.

One could see that some people could become a maid, while others could only become a second class maid. There was a reason for this.

Lan Lingyun closed the door and served a cup of hot tea. She held the tea tray and stood behind me. Together, we stared at Cui'er, who was kneeling on the ground.

I fiddled with the tea cup but didn't drink it. I smiled and said, "Stealing things from the kitchen and even paying tribute to the ancestors. Do you know what kind of crime it is?"

She had only her head, and although her face was pale, she did not cry.

He was wearing a light green plain clothes, just like a green bamboo, firm and straight, with a bit of backbone.

I didn't force her. I just smiled at Lan Ling and made eye contact.

Lan Li understood what he meant, and raised her eyebrows, asking with a stern voice, "Although you have never had a father since you were young, you don't look like one of those people who are short of food and clothes. I heard that your mother was working for the old lady, and that she was able to receive a few rewards. Just by looking at your clothes, you have to pay at least a silver tael to get one. Even if you are hungry, your mother is still working in the garden. If you don't look for her, why would you go steal from her? "

Cui Er still did not speak, only lowering her head, as if she would not speak no matter what.

Lan Ling was at a loss as to what to do. She looked at me with fear in her eyes, afraid that I would torture this young maid in my rage.

Today, Lan Li was frightened by me until she became a frightened bird.

I couldn't help but laugh. Even the tone of my voice was quite gentle. I took a sip of tea, caressed the creases on my sleeves and said softly, "There will be people who will send it to me, or if you really want to give it to them, there won't be any need for these two reasons. If you were to give it to someone else, that would be fine. But if someone else gave it to you, you can only wait for the day I give it to you! "

Hearing this, Cui'er's body froze, showing her panic.

It looked like someone had given it to her.

My methods, many of which have not yet been used, have already acquired the reputation of being strict in governing families. If I had really used 100%, I'm afraid these maids would be scared the moment they see me. Not to mention lying, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to speak so fluently.

Those who used ruthless methods were mostly those with deep grievances. In this life, my emotions have gradually calmed down and I am no longer happy. Furthermore, I am already very old, so I have some energy to grind. Thus, I am even more unwilling to use underhanded methods.

It wasn't that he believed in karma, but just that he didn't want to see these people who had parted from each other.

I couldn't help but bear with it as I tried to persuade her, "Since you're unwilling to say it, I'm afraid it was passed on from the outer court. Most likely, it was the servants. There might even be someone in charge here. You know what I'm talking about. Even though Manager Lu was supporting me outside, he still wanted to give me some face. "You have guts. If you don't tell me the truth, how can I guarantee that that person will be like you and wholeheartedly help you preserve your dignity?"

Cui Er was still kneeling on the ground, not saying a word, but looking at her face, there was a change.

I waited for her to speak.

"It wasn't sent in by the outer court. It was given to me by this servant's mother."

Cui Er lowered her head and muttered, but what she heard clearly in this quiet room.

This is strange!

Since her mother had given it to her, what was there to say about it? Why was she acting like this, hiding it?

"This cooling cake is …" "Steward Liu, who is in charge of supplying flowers and plants in the outer court, sent this to my mother …"

So that was the reason!

Widow, there's a lot to talk about in front of the door.

But this Cui Er was full of filial piety! Because he was afraid that his mother would be talked about, he would rather accept the name of the burglary.

However, like this, the clue to the Cool Breeze Cake ended.

After asking this Cui Er again, I confirmed that she was only hiding the origin of this cool cake. I called Lan Li in and told her to bring her back to the side room to guard.

A few mothers accompanied Gan Sanquan's family into the house.

The woman stood below the hall with her head bowed. Not only did she not show any signs of fear on her face, but she also hid a trace of a smile that was brimming with vigor.

To have the guts to act in such a manner, one would need to be a woman.

I knew that she would definitely not be able to compare to Cui Er, that little girl.

Heavens above, earth below!

It's really not that I, Yang Chong, want to kill you, it's really that, I have no choice but to do it!

I sat in front of the hall and looked at the woman for a moment. After being locked up for the greater part of the day, no matter who it was, their hair, hair, and faces were all unkempt, and they looked exhausted. The woman wore a brown jacket that revealed her peach-red breasts. She wore a dark green dress, and her facial features were very ordinary. However, her waist was plump, and under the lantern light, she stood out elegantly.

I smiled.

It was the master's zeal and filial piety. Although he was wearing plain clothes on the outside, he was still wearing green and red on the inside. It was clear that he was a lively person.

I thought she was being honest, but I misjudged her and underestimated her!

"Sit down!"

In the room, only she, Lan Lingyun, and I were there. I smiled at him while pointing at the small Wugou before me.

An extraordinary person should use an extraordinary method.

The man from the Gan Sanquan family was a straightforward person. He didn't hesitate as he put down his skirt and sat down confidently.

When Lan Lingyun saw her expression, she became displeased.

I smiled and patted Lan Li's hand. I pointed at Gan Sanquan's hand and said, "Go and pour a cup of tea for sister-in-law of the Gan family!"

The eyes of Gan Sanquan's family narrowed, he politely and politely said, "How dare you work for a girl!" But he didn't even move his butt.

This was truly a bit too much!

I couldn't help but surmise that with her current condition, could it be that she had broken down?

Lan Xin had this kind of ability. She had only been here for four or five months, how could she last against these old family members?

Or could it be that these people were people that she could use?

I remembered the words of the Lord of the Rites.

"It's not only you who are secretly inquiring about me. Your every move is in my eyes as well."

Was it because a scout like Lan Xin had entered the inner chamber of our Yang family before, that he had hidden himself in our house?

The guards in my courtyard were aghast at the thought of King Qi's arrival.

Compared to these, what was a servant woman who was originally a spy for Prince Qi?

Looking at the woman in front of me, I couldn't help but become more cautious.

Lan Lingyun brought the tea over. In the end, Gan Sanquan's family had stood up to receive it, so it was not too rude.

I raised my glass and took a sip from my lower lip.

Instead, he meant to have a level talk with me.

I smiled as I stroked the embroidery on my sleeve and said, "It seems that sister-in-law has something to say to me."

The man from the Gan Sanquan family raised his eyebrows, but didn't comment.

Lan Li took out a folded piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to me.

I smiled as I accepted it. I opened the display of the Zhaoge family and said, "In front of all the people, you won't say any kind of secret words. Since sister-in-law isn't someone who can be fooled with words, I won't beat around the bush. "This is your contract. Since sister-in-law sold herself to you that year, our Yang family spent two hundred silver, so I will take it as two hundred silver and buy you a few words."

Gan Sanquan smiled, still holding the teacup, like the wind that did not blow, like the Buddha.

I sighed in my heart.

This is true, there's a path to heaven, yet you refuse to walk it.

Who cares if you are a real Yang family servant or a spy of Prince Qi! If you were in my hands, you'd be out of luck. Even if he wanted to protect you, he would have to take a look.

Would he fall out with me for a lowly servant girl like you?

I couldn't help but smile as I curled my lips and took a sip of tea from my teacup. "Tomorrow, you will go and …"
