C303

It seemed like everyone was aware of what had happened outside.

Aunt Mo, who was standing closest to me, lowered her head in panic, not daring to look me in the eye. She only stared at the tip of her feet; she peeked at me through her grandmother, with a worried expression on her face; the letter from home was still old-fashioned, and as soon as she saw me enter, she quickly dragged Jiayi to bow to me. The wet nurse also stood up from the brick bed, waiting for the young masters to greet me.

Only his grandmother remained unmoved, like she was the only one in charge of the north, south, east and west winds.

I secretly smiled in my heart. This is the demeanor of a general!

After greeting his grandmother and meeting everyone else, he followed the usual etiquette.

Grandmother lightly said, "Why are you being so courteous? Just sit down!"

Power as a promise to me.

I quickly smiled in response.

Normally, I would sit at the first or second place on Grandmother's right hand, but now that the letters and the family members had filled my seat, I had no choice but to stand on the left side. After a slight hesitation, I sat on the second seat on the left.

The left was supreme while the right was inferior.

Left chairman, it should be the father's place.

Grandmother asked casually, "When will your father return?"

Aunt Mo and Aunt Wang both looked at me as if it was time for me to answer.

I couldn't help but twitch my mouth.

He really knows how to use the wind!

News of you, Lady Mo, spread in all directions, and even when you're not at the Residence you can create such a storm. Moreover, now that you've entered the Residence, you're like a fish in water, having someone to command you, how can you not know where your father is now?

It was just that he was afraid that if his grandmother reprimanded him, he could appear and eat the head of the steak instead of getting any benefits!

I calmly put down my spoon and respectfully replied, "Father wrote that he will be back in about three or five days."

Following that, I smiled and said, "It'll be fine once Father returns. We'll be able to deal with the matters outside in a certain way. Sun Daughter will also be free to take care of the matters in the garden."

I frankly looked at Aunt Mo.

Aunt Mo, who was standing next to her grandmother, flicked her wrist, causing the plates and cups to strike against each other with a crisp sound.

Grandmother cast a glance at Aunt Mo and gave a faint "En".

Obviously, he knew what kind of battles were going on between Aunt Mo and me.

Although it was only a single word, it was enough to express Grandmother's position.

You, Aunt Mo, jumped up and down to put on airs. Didn't you think that the Old Granny would stand behind you?

Then I'll put it to the surface now, and show you what you think of as a steady reliance, just a paper lantern, usually bright and bright, like that, but in the real chapter, but in the wind and rain, the paper scattered the shelves, no more than that!

With this section in the middle, the people sitting on the table could not help but feel a little embarrassed. Of course, the people sitting on the table could not help but feel a little embarrassed.

Everyone just followed the instruction of not saying anything, eating a meal was meaningless.

Only the letter from home seemed to have not felt this awkward atmosphere at all. It was a calm face, a proper manner, a respectful manner, and a strict meal. It was as if the letter was educating the people that they should follow the words of the saint from the beginning to the end.

I couldn't help but admire my brother in my heart.

In this world, there were many people who talked about righteousness and morals. There were even many scholars who wore long gowns and talked about the same things, yet did such ludicrous things. There were even some who used the words of a saint to bewitch people, raped their wives and daughters, and even did some evil deeds like killing people and stealing their goods.

There were very few people who truly believed in Kong Meng's gift, not to mention the fact that they wanted to use "knowledge of things" like Chu Feng to restrain their words and deeds.

But what I can't do, I will have a heart of awe to look at.

For a nine-year-old child to have such a transcendent awareness, I was truly impressed and had to distance myself from him.

After the meal, the maidservants in the grandma's room filed into the room carrying small yellow copper pans filled with warm water. The maidservants followed the maidservants in the house. After washing their hands, they stepped back out of the room.

Red Jade brought another group of young maidservants to serve tea.

While everyone was drinking tea and chatting, Grandmother instructed Aunt Mo and Aunt Wang, "Grandson, grandchildren, and daughters, I'll have a chat with them. You two can go eat dinner!"

The two concubines hurriedly curtsied, placed the big red box full of candied fruits on the table, and left.

Grandmother and I discussed the idea of inviting the usual ladies to dinner again before we left home, which could be considered as an explanation to the outside world.

I immediately understood what my grandmother meant.

Ever since his mother passed away, strange things happened frequently in the family. Outsiders didn't know the details, so it was easier for them to spread unrealistic rumors.

She was afraid that others would think that her mother had been hurt because of her, so in order to avoid responsibility, she escaped into the void to escape punishment.

I'm also afraid that the madams will think that it was us who fought over the rights of the clan, and that she was forced to go into seclusion because of her downfall. In order to continue interacting with our Yang family, the ladies have no choice but to take one of the two.

The old lady who had lost her power and the young lady who had taken charge of the household chores before the age of 30. Which was more advantageous was something that anyone with a discerning eye could appreciate.

I smacked my lips.

One could imagine that even though her grandmother had entered the buddhist faith, her heart had never left this mortal world.

A person like him, who loved liveliness, would not be able to leave the world even if he died.

This was originally a personal good fortune.

I smiled and nodded. "This is a good idea. In the future, if the various wives come and look for you, they will know where to go!"

Grandmother smiled and nodded in agreement.

It's better this way, with my grandmother to clear things up, than when I go out and defend myself.

Since it was a win-win situation, why not?

However, it was not difficult to organize a banquet.

But …" I changed the topic and continued, "Preparing these things is a small matter. However, our current situation isn't suitable for such a grand feast like this to be prepared by our granddaughter. "All the guests in our family have to be vegetarian, but if the guests enter our house, we can't let them suffer too. If they all sit at the same table, and then arrange a whole table for the guests, then our host will sit together and eat and drink. It won't look like it at all!

It was laughable to think of such a situation.

Grandmother nodded her head and said with a smile, "Of course it is because of what you said. Furthermore, your father is still not back yet and your mother is still lying down … "My wife isn't in the mood to mess around with such a flirt!"

I hastily replied with a smile, "Grandmother you are indeed very experienced and knowledgeable, unlike us. You don't have any sense of propriety when it comes to doing things!"

Grandmother also knew that I was trying to stop her from saying anything more, so she just smiled and didn't argue with me. She started asking questions about the three brothers.

After listening to the letter, which contained a few passages from the 'Zhu Zi's Tribute', Grandmother claimed that she was tired and told Aunt Wang to go in and have a few words with her. She was about to rest.

My brothers and I all knew that this was the meaning of 'shelling people out', so we quickly retreated.

Aunt Wang and Aunt Mo were waiting at the door side by side. When they saw Red Jade walking us out, they hurriedly went up to her.

Aunt Wang opened her mouth to say something to me, but Yingyu urged her to enter. Aunt Wang could only reluctantly look at me before following Hongyu into the inner room.

So Aunt Mo took over the house and used him to cover her face as she came up to me in embarrassment and bowed.

I pulled myself together, stepped aside, and invited her with a smile. "Will Aunt come with me?"

"Miss, I … "Concubine …"

I hastily waved my hands, interrupting Aunt Mo's words. "Aunt!" You are a hero in the fan club, so you know that there are some things that are useless no matter how hard you try to cover them. However, there are some things that you obviously did not do, but if someone intentionally splashed sewage on you, you might be unable to wash it clean no matter how hard you wash it. "

Regardless of whether Huang Wei's every move and movement was incited by her, but in front of me, Huang Wei's mother represents her Mo family.

It wasn't that Aunt Mo didn't understand this logic, but she was just hoping that she would plead for mercy in front of me.

I shook my head.

It could be seen that even tigers had a time of doze off. For an old Jianghu like Aunt Mo, she would actually commit such a stupid and naive habit!

Aunt Mo was momentarily at a loss for words. She stammered, "Many thanks for Miss's kindness. I still have to escort Eldest Young Master back to his room. I won't trouble you to drag me out."

I smiled and nodded my head, but didn't point it out. Grandmother had long forbade Lady Mo to walk home and write letters to her parents. She said these words to me in a perfunctory manner, bringing Lan and Aunt Mo to bid me farewell and left the main house.

Along the corridor outside the house, a six-pointed sheepskin lantern hung every three to five steps under the eaves. The orange light shone on the puddles of water at the edge of the courtyard, making it look extremely adorable.

Lan Ling then smiled and said, "Miss, I see that you're heading towards Lady Chen. Can I go first?"

Surprised, I raised my eyebrows.

Lan Li has always been by my side. Could it be that something important has happened?

However, looking at her joyous expression, she really didn't look like one!

I raised my eyes to sweep her with my gaze and asked, "What about it, did we, Sir Li, have any business with you?"

Surprisingly, Lan Li didn't get angry. She laughed and said, "You are just like this. There's never any seriousness in it!" He pulled on my sleeve again and whispered to me, "I've heard everything that you told me to tell Big Sister Lan Xi. I finally understand what you mean when you say that everyone has their own lives! "I've already explained it so clearly to her, but seeing that she's still …"

I smiled and poked her arm. "Little Gouzi, you know how to make people up now! You haven't said what you're going to do! Quickly tell me honestly! "

Lan Ling chuckled. Following my usual appearance, she blinked her eyes and said, "The message you gave me this morning was from Dong Feng. You even sent me the information I wanted!"

The mourning hall, I thought, was to the east of the outer court.

Instead, she picked up a ready-made coquettish phrase and used it to gag me.

It seems that the matter of the burglary that I let Lan Lingyun investigate has been resolved.

I nodded. "Then, Lord Li, how long are you going to stay on the trial?"

Lan Ling gave me a quick glare, stamping her feet as she replied, "Didn't I already say not to call me that?!" He thought for a while and continued, "I'm afraid that I won't have the luxury of time tonight. Just wait and see. I'll find someone to serve you!"

I couldn't help but be speechless.

Easily said!

Wherever I go, I'll find someone who's as useful as she is!

But looking at her excited expression, it seems that she has no choice in the case. I can't bear to polish her, so I let her go.

Lan Ling sent me all the way to Lady Chen's courtyard, only then did she bring a young maid with her. She then took a lamp with her and left.

Lan Xin would be the one to take care of him.

Although not as smart as Lan Ling, better than honest. There was no big occasion that she needed to agree to. When she came to Aunt Chen's side, she did not need to look at her eyes and act accordingly. It was watertight, without any mishap.

After sitting with Aunt Chen for a while and drinking a cup of tea, what I could tell her was the same few words I had said before.

I said goodbye to Aunt Chen and went home.

As expected, Lan Li was still in the third courtyard. It seemed that she would have to wait until the end of the night for an inspection.

So I changed my clothes and went to the west room to talk to my family.

He didn't expect that he would sleep so early today and had already rested. There was only Lan Xi, Tao Er and that maid that Aunt Mo sent to guard the bed.

"Huang's mother said that Miss didn't have any rules in her house, so she went out to rest with her mother at the gatehouse."

I smirked. "You sure are well-behaved!"

It seemed like my act today wasn't in vain, and it was effective as soon as Aunt Mo saw me, she jumped up like her butt was on fire. Without waiting for me to ask, she already knew to report the whereabouts of Madam Huang.

I nodded and called for Lan Xi and Tao'er to come with me.

Lan Xi brought them to the east, and immediately knelt on the ground. As she wept, she told them that she was wrong, but when she asked her where her fault was, she only said that she should not have followed the Huang Clan to bring Second Young Master to the Old Ancestor first.

I sighed and thought to myself, "This kid is not worth teaching."

Fortunately, she had to go out in a few days, and I had never thought of promoting her to be my manager's mother in the future, so I wouldn't have to teach her a lesson.

Doll, on the other hand, had an expression of sudden enlightenment. She stood there with her head lowered, as if deep in thought.

With great interest, I asked Tao Er a few questions. Seeing that her age was so young and her every word and sentence was on point, I instructed Lan Xi to ask her more. I would discuss it with her before making my decision.

Lan Xi's face was rather unsightly.

Tao Er was only eleven or twelve years old this year, but Lan Xi was already sixteen. It would truly be embarrassing for her if she was told to listen to Tao Er.

But this was also a problem for Doll.

How could he think of a way to make his sister, who was four or five years older and had more experience than him and was at the same level as him, listen to his commands?

It's not easy.

I want to see what the boy is capable of.

Doll looked a little timid, but she still nodded in agreement. I sent the two of them back, still taking care of the family's justice.

I sent a little girl to the back to see how the trial was going with Lan Ling. The little maid came back, beaming with joy as she replied, "Sister Lan, you're amazing …"
