He did not expect that no one would be able to walk all the way from the West, through the main hall, to the East, and to the West.

I sat down on the kang.

He could faintly hear the sound of the door opening and closing as the curtain was lowered. The sound of the door knocking against the door frame and the servant girl's voice speaking.

The curtain on the door tilted. It was the two little girls, Tao Er and Xi'er, who were carrying a large kettle in.

When the two of them saw me, they called me miss with a smile. After they put down what they were doing, they knelt down and greeted me.

I took the opportunity to ask, "Where is your sister Lan Li?"

Tao Er scooped out some water from inside and poured it into the pot, saying: "Sister Lan called all the other sisters in the room to the gatehouse, and said that they would like to talk with the mama. I'm afraid that the young master and the young miss won't have anyone to attend to them, so I told me and my sister to come back first."

It seemed that Lan Lingyun could trust these two little girls.

I nodded and asked, "Did Lan Li say anything else?"

Tao Er and the elder sister looked at each other and smiled. "Sister said that if Miss asked, then I will tell you that you don't need to wait for sister. Sister will come in tomorrow and ask for forgiveness. If Miss didn't ask, then you don't need to say anything."

I couldn't help laughing.

Tao Er scooped up another canteen and covered it with a lid. She instructed the younger sister, "Hold it steady. Don't burn your hands and give it to sister Lan Xi. She said it's water for young master to wash up with."

"Yes!" The elder sister responded before bowing to me. When she saw me nod towards her, she carried the teapot away with great difficulty.

Doll scooped water out of the basin and mixed it with the water to help me wash my face.

In the end, she had never done the delicate work of serving people, so she had no idea what was going on. I rolled up my sleeves and took some powdered soap out of the drawer. I rummaged through the drawer a few times, but didn't know where Lan Ling kept the rose petals.

At least this girl knows how to pass me a towel.

I smirked in my heart and handed the used towel back to her. I told her to pour me a cup of hot water.

After thinking about what had happened today, Wai went to the east side of the brick bed to look for a few books. After sitting on the brick bed for a while, seeing that Lan Li hadn't come back yet and the sounds of the maidservants coming and going and Lan Xi's voice were still ringing, I smiled in my heart.

For a while, the light went out, and I lay on the kang, while she stayed up all night, leaning on the bed like she was resting.

On the morning of the second day, it was a sunny day. The sunlight shone through the window sill, illuminating the curtain of the curtain with the Immortal Crane Embroidery, causing it to sparkle with a silvery light.

I got up and stretched my body. I relaxed a bit and thought that today was the third day of the month's events. I would be able to leave this ordeal in two to three days. I could not help but feel a little more relieved.

Pushing aside the tent, he peeked his head out of the barrel like a quail. Suddenly, he realized that the person who was lying on the bed during the night had changed.

At some point in time, the place where he was resting had turned into a land of orchids.

I lifted up the quilt and pulled my jacket over my shoulders from the smokebox before tiptoeing over to her. This maid was still unconscious as she slept.

Breathing evenly and deeply, sleeping soundly. I saw the pale blue of her eyes and the sharpening of her jaw, and I felt guilty.

It's all because of me that she's so tired.

I had meant to frighten her into a fit of play, but I had long since given up the idea. I walked over to the kang again and took the bed I had been lying on and draped it over her.

Occasionally, one could hear Lan's light snoring.

I shook my head. Everyone was exhausted these days.

Especially her.

I dressed myself, sat on the kang, drank a cup of red date and wolfberry tea that had been simmering overnight, polished off the ink, and wrote a note to treat my guests while waiting for the maidservants to come in and wash up.

When Lan Xin returned with her maidservants, I had already written all the posts I was going to use. I scattered some fine sand on them and waited for them to dry. Then, I could post them.

Lan Xin looked at Lan Ling, who was lying on the bed with a silk quilt covered with winter plums and snow silk, and could not help but reveal an expression of surprise.

I shook my head at her and pointed into the east.

Lan Xin understood and instructed the young maidservants to follow me to the eastern branches of the mountain.

By the time Lan Ling woke up, I had already had breakfast with Jiayi. The two of us sat together on the kang in the west room, talking about reading.

Lan's face was full of guilt. She hovered at the door, too embarrassed to enter.

I ordered my sister to tell her to go to dinner, then came back to accompany me to Grandmother's.

In a moment, the wandering shadow at the door disappeared.

When Lan Ling came in and helped me put on my cloak, I smiled and asked her, "Is everything ready?"

Lan Lingyun nodded with a smile and held my hand as they walked out of the room.

This is the first day that my relationship with my family was resolved. Naturally, it was not good to let my mother's maidservants take him. I had no choice but to lead him while the rest of us slowly walked away.

Lan was there, too busy to say much in front of the children. She stood behind me, holding the box I had just handed her, and followed me into my grandmother's yard.

Before entering Grandmother's inner room, Lan Li extended her hand to give me a small box. She whispered into my ear, "This servant already knows who that person is."

I smiled and nodded. I patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's unavoidable."

Lan Ling nodded and carried the family over the threshold.

Perhaps it was because I had come early today, but only the letter and Aunt Wang accompanied my grandmother and sat on the brick bed to talk. I held her hand and went over. After greeting her, she crisply called out, "Big brother, only then did I call you grandma."

My grandmother gave me a questioning look.

I smiled and nodded. I gently caressed the top of my head, indicating that I had already told him my future plans.

Grandmother's face regained her usual benevolence.

After the letter from home had bowed to me, the red jade gave me and the family Yi tea, everyone sat down, I took the opportunity to tell the letter, want to ask him to teach his brother to read.

The letter from home frowned, stood up from the brick bed, gave me a deep bow and said, "I have only studied a little, and have never entered the sect. I do not dare to become a teacher."

I smiled, as expected.

"On the second day of 'Three People's Path', there must be a teacher among them. Also, in 'Thirteen Classics', there is a saying that teaching grows together." "Brother, you really don't have to be too modest."

For a child like this, he could not be forcefully coerced.

Weren't you the one who spoke to the saints all day long?

Then I will use my spear to attack his shield!

Seeing that there was a trace of surprise on the surface of my letter, I felt that there was something strange about this, so I hurriedly continued, "Didn't the Grand Historian also say in the book of the Five Emperors that 'eight yuan was raised to make the Five Churches spread throughout the world, with respect to the father, motherly love, brotherhood, brotherhood, brotherhood, filial piety, filial piety, and inner peace'?" "Is that so?"

The letter from home nodded. With a face full of admiration, it cupped its hands towards me and said, "Every day, I would see my elder sister busy with household chores. I didn't want my elder sister to be able to read so many ancient books. I am truly impressed."

I felt myself blushing, a little hot.

I'm not the only one who knows all this.

In his previous life, he had spent his time learning how to sing, play, play, and play, practicing his zither and chess. In his previous life, he had spent his time learning how to sing, how to play, and how to read, but only knew a few words.

I read and recited them last night before I went to bed.

"Moreover, he's still young, so it's impossible for him to read so many profound books. He only picked books like 'Young Jade Forest' and 'Enlightenment of the Sound Laws', and that's it!"

Even though I haven't asked, but looking at the words written on the account book and knowing how to hold a pen, I can tell that he has received an enlightened education.

In the Zhou Dynasty, most of the books I read were the Three Character Classic and the Hundred Families, so I directly skipped those two books.

Grandmother put down the teacup in her hand and said to her, "Since your sister has already said so, you can agree." The two of you aren't together, so you'll have to spend more time together this way. "

Seeing my grandmother give me an unfathomable smile, I helplessly curled my lips.

She thought that she was going to follow her advice and cause trouble for herself.

In front of so many people, I had no choice but to acknowledge my grandmother's kindness and to nod and smile at her.

The letter from home rose, then bowed again, and first said to grandma: "Grandson will follow Grandmother's teachings!" He cupped his hands towards me and said, "I am willing to follow elder sister's orders!"

I smiled and nodded. "Quickly go and pay your respects to your brother!"

Jiayi, grinning foolishly behind me, approached and bowed to his brother.

After Aunt Mo brought her parents over, I took the opportunity to tell her about my arrangements. Aunt Mo's face was full of melancholy as she moved her mouth a few times to retract her words. I pretended not to know, but it could be considered a peaceful breakfast.

After tea, I discussed with my family letter when to send home, where the brothers were studying, and so on. The conversation in the room was so lively that it made the two children feel embarrassed. Jiayi, who was sitting behind me, looked at his brother with a flirtatious expression.

I couldn't help laughing to myself.

It was as if children liked to play with people a little older than them.

Finally, it was agreed that by the beginning of next month, everything would have been settled inside and out, and that he would follow the letter to study.

Every morning, Jiayi stayed by my side to study with me, and after the lunch break, he went to the letter house to study for four hours. The two brothers went to my grandmother's for dinner, and then I took him back to my own courtyard.

The place where he was going to study was in the building where he was going to study at home.

I thought about it for a moment. The timing was exactly the same as the time I'd come to greet him, but it wasn't inconvenient to send someone to escort him to his grandmother's courtyard at noon. As for how the brothers' work and rest would be arranged after their grandmother moved out, there would be another way to explain it. Since it was too late to openly discuss it, they agreed.

On the way back, he pulled me along to talk, asking for pen and ink, asking for ink, and worrying that my brother would find me stupid, but also worrying that my brother would scold me, so childish and cute that everyone would laugh out loud.

Lan Li was the only one who didn't move a step behind me. It was obvious that she wanted to say something to me.

It was only when I sent her home that Lan Lingyun finally had the chance to speak a few words to me in private.

As I walked toward the building, I asked her, "Does that talkative person know who he is?"

Lan Ling was somewhat surprised. She paused for a moment, and seeing that I had walked far away, she caught up with me. "How do you know that I have caught the traitor?"

I laughed to myself.

Last night, I specifically called Lan Xi to go out and ask her what she had told me and she rushed here early in the morning, wanting to speak to me in private. If she can't wait to teach her maidservants and moms a lesson like this, then she wouldn't be Lan Lan.

I clicked my tongue and said smilingly, "If it wasn't for our Lord Li's all-nighter trial and the results of it, how could he have been unable to wake up from his sleep until dawn?"

Lan Ling could not do it. She cut her leg, and seeing that she was about to reach the steps of the building, she knew that time was of the essence, so she said concisely, "Madam Feng's mother in the courtyard was very close to Wu Dengke's family some time ago. Yesterday, Wu Dengke's daughter, the one who got the hairpin from the quarrelling Little Liu, was also given to her by her mother, Feng. "

Hearing this, I couldn't help but stop.

Why did it involve the Feng Clan again?

Didn't I tell her to look at the utensils in her mother's yard?

I frowned. "Did the old lady transfer the people she left in her mother's yard back?"

Lan Ling bit her lips and said, "No!"

I waved my sleeves and said in deep thought, "That's strange!" The mothers were all there, and it was impossible to let Mrs. Feng walk around. "One of them is the wife of our general director, the other is a living corpse locked in the courtyard by me. How did they hook up with each other?"

Seeing Lan Ling's hesitant expression, I wasn't happy, so I asked directly, "You don't have any relatives here, what can't you tell me?"

Lan Lingyun paused before moving close to my ear. "It was Mother Song who built the bridge between the two of them."

I couldn't help but frown.

Why did it involve her mother again?

Didn't I send Mother Song to take care of matters in the front yard's mourning hall?

I raised my eyebrows and motioned for Lan Li to continue.

Lan Li changed the topic. "For the time being, this servant only knows these things, they were all said by little Liu'er. Her mother has always been on good terms with Mother Song, and Mother Song introduced her mother to Mother Feng. After that, her mother would often be invited to accompany Madam Feng, and sometimes she would even tell her about these things.

Even without Lan Lingyun, I know what's behind it.

The young maidservants loved to hear secrets and things like that. By gathering in groups of three or five in the corner, one could spread the rumor out. It didn't need to intentionally publicize the rumor, it could spread to the ears of the family.

The crowd was fearful of Lan Lan's dignity, and the green bandits were upright, naturally, they would not dare to tell them about it. In my courtyard, with so much talk coming out from the ground, I became deaf with my ears, and they were all pointing fingers behind my back, but I did not know anything about it.
