~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The old lady looked at the main house from afar. It was pitch black. The entire Scholartree Garden was deathly silent and dark, except for the small kitchen that was enveloped in warm lights. She sighed in her heart and put on a pitiful smile again."Yo! What are you eating that smells so good? Is there a share for my old lady?"
"Old Madam?" The three servants in the small kitchen, who had eaten until their mouths were black, were surprised for a moment before they rushed forward to greet him. Little Lian was still in a panic and knocked over the unfinished bowl of black sesame paste on her dress.
Ling 'er kowtowed to the old lady with resentment in her heart. In his previous life, other than kowtowing to his parents to earn red packets during the new year, he had never kowtowed to anyone. In the future, when the hard times came, he did not know if he should kneel down every morning when he paid his respects.
"Old Furen, if there's anything you need, you can just order the servant girls to come and call your granddaughter. Why did you have to come personally?”Ling 'er held the old lady's other arm and walked towards the main house. A little girl obediently carried a lantern and walked in front to illuminate the masters.
Nanny Chen had already gone to the main room to light the oil lamp. Fei 'er and Little Dough hid on the beam and looked down curiously. The Golden Rat tried its best to hide its tracks, afraid that it would be eliminated as an ordinary rat.
The old lady sat down on the best chair in the room and quietly sized up the furnishings in the room. The dilapidated furniture had been replaced. At this moment, the room was filled with 80% new yellow rosewood furniture. There were many new items added. It was twice as good as when Ling 'er first came in. Even so, the old lady's brows still furrowed slightly.
However, she quickly adjusted her facial expression and patted Ling 'er's thin hand lovingly. She smiled and said,"Call me Grandmother! I don't like it when my granddaughter calls me Old Madam.”
Ling 'er lowered her eyes and revealed a timid smile. She sweetly called out,"Grandmother." He sneered in his heart. She was his grandmother now, but what about in the past? When Gu Ling 'er's true body was suffering from fear and loneliness, what were you doing? When her soul fused with her main body, Ling 'er could clearly feel the relief of her original body. Death was also the beginning of freedom. What a great sorrow and helplessness that made a ten-year-old child need to use death to achieve the goal of freedom!
When she raised her head, her eyes were filled with the desire and yearning for kinship. That kind of admiration moved the old lady. Who didn't know how to act?
"Good child! You've suffered all these years. Fortunately, the ancestors appeared and blessed you with the return of your wandering soul. Don't worry, after tomorrow, you won't have to live like you did in the past. The empty courtyard of our Gu residence's inner courtyard, you pick it up!”The old lady pulled Ling 'er to sit beside her. The bones on her small arm made the old lady sigh again.
Ling 'er was shocked when she heard that she was going to change her courtyard. She was very satisfied with the current courtyard. On one hand, the courtyard of Scholartree Garden was huge, and there was a lot of barren land. She could plant whatever she wanted. If it was another courtyard, could you dig up the elegant garden and plant spiritual herbs and vegetables in it?
On the other hand, this courtyard was remote. Under normal circumstances, even servants rarely passed by. No matter how big of a commotion she made in the courtyard, very few people could notice it. Moreover, the hole in the backyard was convenient to enter and exit. In the future, any interactions with the outside world would depend on it. If they changed to a new courtyard, they would not be able to go out a few times a year. How aggrieved would that be?
Thinking of this, Ling 'er's heart was in a panic. She stabilized her emotions and a timid smile still hung on her lips."Grandmother, I'm fine living here. He did not need to trouble himself to help his granddaughter change her courtyard.”
"What a good girl. She knows how to think for others. Don't worry, it's no trouble. There are several empty courtyards in the inner court. You just have to choose a day to move in. You're the Gu family's young miss after all. If you need anything, just let Grandmother know.”The old lady's heart ached for this considerate little girl.
Ling 'er shook her head and looked at the old lady with bright eyes."Granddaughter really feels that Scholartree Garden is quite good. You also know that your granddaughter has always been timid. His granddaughter was used to living here. She would be afraid of a new environment.”
The old lady knew very well what Gu Ling 'er was like in the past. When she heard this, her eyes flickered.
Ling 'er continued,"Moreover, I can't bear to part with the flowers that I planted myself." Grandmother, it would be great if you came during the day. You would be able to see the flowers that your granddaughter personally served. Although it couldn't compare to the beauty cultivated by the professional gardeners in the residence, it was better at having some wild fun. If the weather was sunny, he could move a chair, brew a pot of good tea, enjoy the flowers and taste the tea. It would be a different taste!”
When it came to appreciating the scenery and tasting tea, Nanny Chen remembered the teasing of Madam You in the morning and couldn't help but smile from the bottom of her heart. She lowered her head even lower and tried her best to hold back her laughter. The others did not notice, but Ling 'er, whose five senses had gradually become more sensitive because of the forging of spiritual energy, noticed the slight tremble on her shoulder. She was a little surprised, but she had no choice but to pretend that nothing had happened in front of the old lady.
When the old lady heard her words, she sighed in her heart. Ling 'er had really grown up and become sensible. She nodded and praised," I smelled it as soon as I entered the door. That's right. It's very fragrant!" Grandmother knows that all the flowers and plants in your garden are useful. Grandmother has been basking in your light these past few days. It's just that I really feel bad for letting you live in such a remote courtyard.”
"Grandmother, don't say that. It will make your granddaughter feel uneasy. You also know that your granddaughter has been afraid of people since she was young. This courtyard is a little remote for you, but for your granddaughter, it's quiet and less crowded. It's perfect. Don't worry. If my granddaughter's personality changes in the future, she'll ask you to change the courtyard, okay?”Ling 'er's words were so considerate that the old lady felt very comfortable listening to them. After all, ten years of cold treatment, ten years of neglect, and ten years of suffering, this ten-year-old girl not only did not complain, but she also thought of others. It was really commendable!
At this moment, the love and praise in the eyes of Old Madam and Master Gu could not be concealed. In the end, the old lady no longer insisted on changing the courtyard. However, the proposal to renovate Scholartree Garden was carried out.
As long as she didn't give up this comfortable living space, everything would be easy. Ling 'er smiled sincerely." Grandmother, I've been working hard all day today. I've finally found a new dish." The book said that this kind of food could not only nourish the body, but also slow down aging and moisten black hair!”
"Oh? Is there really such a magical food?" The old lady's eyes lit up. She had been drinking the rose tea that Ling 'er had given her for five or six days. Yesterday, an old sister came to visit and said that she had become more than ten years younger. If her silver hair could be rejuvenated, wouldn't she look even younger? This woman, no matter what age she was, always yearned for beauty and youth.
"This is what granddaughter tried to make today. Try it first to see if it tastes good…Father, try it too.”Ling 'er's heart was extremely conflicted when she called him' father', but she still had an extremely bright smile on her face.
Was it easy for him? He was about to have schizophrenia…
