Behind them were seven or eight servant maids and old women. Wan Mama was also there. "Grandmother!" Wan Qiu paused for a moment and smiled as she walked over to support the woman's other arm. "Look at you two!" The old madam smiled warmly." It's like I'm in my seventies or eighties and can't walk anymore.”"Grandmother is still young. How can she not be able to walk?”The red-dressed girl flattered her." It's us who want to take this opportunity to be close to Grandmother. You can't expose us.”Her tone was delicate and innocent, like a young girl who was ignorant of the world. It made people feel that she was playful and cute. She smiled and asked Wan Qiu,"Don't you think so?" Sister!" "That's right! Second Sister." Wanqiu looked at her with a smile, as if she admired her cheerful and lively nature.
" Grandmother has two elder sisters, so she forgot about me. I won't be happy about this." As she spoke, a woman dressed in a green embroidered dress walked over from behind the curtain, followed by a dignified woman.
This woman was the Third Miss, Lu Wanjing. She was just like her name. At the age of ten, her actions were calm and composed. What a daughter of a wealthy family! Her birth mother, Mrs. Ke, was the second in the family. She was originally Old Furen's personal maid. Although she was later promoted to a concubine and gave birth to a son and daughter, she was still the same as before. She often served Old Furen in her room and did her best to serve Old Furen. Matriarch Lin was also very close to her. She brought her Third Miss, Lu Wanjing, and Second Young Master, Lu Mingqi, by her side and raised them like her eldest son, Lu Mingxuan. Their relationship was extraordinary. Seeing the two sisters being so intimate, the old madam's smile was filled with satisfaction. She patted the back of Wan Qiu's hand comfortingly before tapping Wan Ling and Wan Jing's foreheads with her index finger.""Only the two of you are capable! How dare you diss big sister in front of me!" There was a kind of indulgent intimacy in her words. Wan Ling naturally did not take the old madam's words seriously. She giggled and asked Wan Qiu,""Sister, Grandmother said that I'm eliminating you. Tell me, did I eliminate you?”Wanqiu didn't answer, she just covered her sleeves and smiled. Wan Ling tugged at the old madam's sleeve and said coquettishly,""Look, look, sister has nothing to say. You're just biased. You're afraid that Eldest Sister will suffer a little grievance. Why don't you take pity on me? I'm the same as my sister. I can't bear any grievances!”The old lady was amused by her childishness. He pulled Wan Ling's hand and sat on the Luohan bed.""Good, good, good. I wronged our Second Miss and made Wanling suffer.”He also ordered the little servant girl to bring the brocade to Wanqiu. "It is!" Wan Ling pouted as she sat on the Luohan bed. When she saw the servant girls bring tea in, she came forward with a sweet smile and took a jade tea bowl with ten lotus petals from the servant girl's plate. She said with a smile," Grandmother, this is the freshly brewed Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao." As she spoke, she brought it to Consort Li's side. The old lady smiled and accepted it. Wan Ling poured herself another cup. Then, she squeezed herself onto Wanqiu's brocade table and smiled innocently.""The water used to make this tea is the spring water transported from Yuquan Mountain yesterday. There is also jasmine that has been roasted in the fire. It is mixed into the dry tea and then soaked into the tea cup. When you drink it, it has the fragrance of tea and flowers. Sister, I'll send some to you later. Let's taste it together?”Seeing her actions, Ouyang Nuan smiled and nodded.""Younger Sister is really thoughtful." If it was in the past, she would have thought that Lu Wanling truly respected her as her elder sister. That was why she would think of her in every way. Now that she had been reborn, she realized that she had ulterior motives. Not only did she curry favor with Old Madam, but she also created the illusion of being close sisters in front of everyone. At such a young age, her thoughts were as deep as Miss Chen's.
As expected, the old madam smiled and nodded.
Lu Guanling's beautiful eyes turned as she whispered to Wan Qiu and Wan Jing in a voice that the old lady could hear,"Look at this tea…When I came here earlier, it was Longjing tea, but now it's Wuyi tea. Grandmother is indeed very biased!"
Her words made everyone in the room laugh. The old lady pointed at Wan Ling and said to the person behind her,""Look, look, I wanted to praise her, but now it seems that I've raised a naughty monkey that makes me restless every day.”Wan Ling snuggled into Lady Wang's arms.""If the monkey doesn't mess with the Queen Mother, then who?" "That's because Old Furen spoils you." The maid beside her also laughed.”The old madam held her forehead and sighed helplessly. For a moment, the house was filled with laughter and laughter. Wan Qiu and Wan Jing sat at the side and laughed. When Old Madam saw this, she asked Wanqiu seriously,""A few days ago, you fell into the water to save Brother Xuan. Are you better now?”
" She's fine now. I was so anxious to save my younger brother that it's my fault for making Grandmother worry," Wanqiu quickly stood up and replied.
There seemed to be something different about this granddaughter? Why did his speech and behavior become so appropriate? The old madam smiled in satisfaction." Although it's better now, you should still be careful in the cold weather outside. In the future, you don't have to meditate in the morning and evening. I'll talk to your mother.""Bring the fox cloak in my box to the big girl."
A flash of jealousy and hatred flashed across Wan Ling's face, but Wan Jing remained calm.
Lu Wanling thought about it and smiled." Grandmother's yard is full of pine trees. If we plant some red plum blossoms, the white snow will reflect the red plum blossoms. Wouldn't that be beautiful?!" I have a good red plum tree there. I'll send it to you later.”"Younger Sister is right. I remember that when we were young, Grandmother even taught Xuan 'er and me how to recognize red plums. Now, the decorations in his courtyard are all placed according to Grandmother's instructions back then, especially the iron tree in the courtyard. Grandmother personally ordered someone to plant it the year Younger Brother was born. It has been planted for ten years, and it's the first time it has blossomed this winter. Wan Qiu replied lightly, her tone filled with nostalgia. There was a hint of warmth in the old madam's eyes."Now that you mention it, I really want to go and take a look.”
Lu Wanling was still young and could not catch her breath. Her face turned pale instantly. She had wanted to please her grandmother, but Lu Wanqiu had taken the initiative. Her mother, Miss Chen, had only given birth to her daughter and no boy. Matriarch Lin had always been very critical of this. Today, Lu Wanqiu used Lu Mingxuan to curry favor with Matriarch Lin. She felt that every word she said was harsh to the ears. Wasn't this eldest sister usually very silly? She was very close to her and trusted her mother very much. Why did she suddenly become like this today…
Then, the old madam said seriously,"I called you here today because I have something to tell you. You are all daughters of a large manor, not like small families. You have been learning to read since you were four years old. You have learned music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and cooking for three to four years. Previously, because of the new year, you took a vacation. After that, your eldest sister fell ill and stopped. Originally, your mother was in charge of this matter, but her health has not been good recently, so I will take over. Master has already returned home. Classes will start next month. Go back and prepare well."
With that, everyone left with their own thoughts.
Wanqiu thought as she walked,'That's right, in my previous life, the school reopened at this time. It's just that in my previous life, it was Madam who took care of it and used the reason that I was sick to not let me go to school with her.'
He had to change his fate in this life!
