Qi Concubine's Cultivation Notes in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 32

When Li Rulan returned to her room, she felt that the atmosphere was a bit unusual, but she still had to dress up to meet Ming Duan Gege, so she left Bai Wei behind and asked Bai Zhi to ask what was going on.Bai Zhi came back soon.

"Second Miss is resting in the side hall of our yard." Bai Zhi said with her hands down. "The one serving by your side is Qing Dai, who used to be by the old lady's side, and let her keep it around. When she was taking a nap before, the second young lady was resting in the room, while Qing Dai was in the yard, and the maids below chatted a little. Sentence." Seeing the expressions of Bai Wei and Bai Zhi, Li Rulan knew that Bai Zhi was ready to share joys and sorrows with her, while Bai Wei was still hesitating.I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that wealth is really up to the sky, but just after losing power, people's hearts are scattered, and I will work closely with Bai Zhi first, and Bai Wei still has to beat her.

"Grandma's meaning?" Li Rulan asked, looking at her delicate face in the mirror.In the bronze mirror that was slightly dizzy, Bai Wei's slender fingers could be seen forming a bun.

"Yes." Bai Zhi said. "Actually, after asking, the second lady's temperament can't be discerned, but she doesn't seem to like talking very much, her body is a little thin, but her appearance is beautiful."

Li Rulan cares most about her appearance. For women, beauty and temperament are the best weapons. Using the objects in the space to take care of her every day, Li Rulan is confident that she has a very beautiful appearance. Hearing Bai Zhi's words, she is a little curious , "Oh? Beautiful?"

Naturally, Bai Zhi knew that the master cared about her appearance. The maids in the yard said that Li Yunting was like a fairy, but it was hard to say it directly, so she said: "I have never seen it before, but the people below say that she is beautiful."

They chatted one after another like this, knowing about Li Yunting's situation, and when her bun was combed, she even nodded her red lips, and Li Rulan said: "This second young lady is my younger sister. I want to come here for more than two years. Time has also suffered a lot, since you are in the courtyard outside, the two of you must restrain the servants, especially the younger sister who only has one available, so you can't be treated lightly."

The two naturally bowed and said yes.

"My sister is back, and you all understand that I am adopted from another family, so I am in an awkward position." Hearing what Li Rulan said, Bai Wei and Bai Zhi's expressions were undecided. Although they thought so in their hearts, they just I didn't expect the master to speak so bluntly.Bai Zhi had a little joy in her heart, saying such words, she took the two of them as her confidants.

When Li Rulan was speaking, she watched the two people's reactions, and when she saw Bai Zhi's reaction, she comforted her heart and said: "The words today came from my mouth and entered your ears, so don't let the third person know." After waiting for the two to respond, Li Rulan continued, "Since the two of you are mine, if I am safe, I will naturally be able to protect the two of you. After all, I am your master. If I am down and out, you will not be able to please me. Wait until After the prince and his party left, my master and servant must have had a difficult time in the mansion. However, my mother is kind and my grandmother has always loved me. How I will live in the future is still a question. If the people below are frivolous, you Just avoid his sharp edge. Thinking about my situation, there are many people who are the real masters in the mansion, and they may still pity me. Just be careful, if you pass this time, you will naturally get some benefits, only the master is good It’s better for the people below. I don’t need to point out this truth, you all know it too.” When Li Rulan said this, she glanced at Bai Wei, which made her back feel cold, and she didn’t dare to give up. .

Thinking about going to Mingduangege's place, Li Rulan planned to go to his wife's room first, and went to pay a visit to Mingduangege together with his wife. Before leaving the courtyard gate, she couldn't help but look at the side courtyard with closed doors and windows again. The real Miss Li lived there.

Fahrenheit was still getting dressed, so Li Rulan waited in the hall, it was only half a stick of incense, and she had already dressed, and the two of them walked towards the courtyard where Ming Duan was sitting.

"Have you seen your sister?" Fahrenheit finally couldn't help asking.

Li Rulan said apologetically: "When I returned to my room, I changed my clothes and put my hair in a bundle. Then I came here in a hurry. I saw that the door in the side hall was closed, and I had to pay a visit to Ming Duan Gege. I couldn't see it. Although I didn't see it personally, It’s just that the people in our yard have seen my younger sister and said she was born beautiful, presumably she must be similar to my mother.”

Fahrenheit reluctantly responded, just thinking of Mingduangege after the meeting, so he went to Li Rulan's side to meet his daughter.

Before reaching the courtyard where Gege is, he heard a tune, which he had never heard before, and it seemed to be calming when he listened carefully, and Fahrenheit's anxiety was also greatly reduced by the tune.Can't tell what kind of instrument it is.Li Rulan recognized the instrument, but it was just a green leaf, and it reminded her of her past life in the countryside.I thought those memories had faded away, only to realize that they were never forgotten, but buried in the deepest part of the memory.

The tune is getting lighter and lighter, as if dissipating in the clouds.

A group of people entered the courtyard, and a camphor tree was planted in the Linfeng Pavilion. The advantage of the camphor tree is that there are few mosquitoes after planting, and it was transplanted from other places specially. Although it is not the autumn wind at this time of year, It was a bit windy, the leaves rustled and some leaves fell.Camphor is evergreen all year round, and leaves often fall.Under the tree are stone tables and benches. A girl with a small hat and a flag dress is sitting with her hands resting on her cheeks. The stone bench is covered with brocade mats. Much better.Fahrenheit looked at the ten-year-old girl standing under the tree, holding a leaf in her hand, wearing a pair of sea-blue skirts, a double bun on her head, adorned with jade rings, and jade pendants of the same color on her ears. His appearance is very beautiful, but his figure is quite thin.

"Greetings to Princess." Fahrenheit barely suppressed his emotions, God knows how much she wanted to hold the child in her arms, kiss her forehead and stroke her temples.

Li Rulan was also holding the gift, and she was startled when she saw Li Yunting's appearance. Originally, she was quite proud of her appearance, but only after seeing this appearance did she realize that there was someone out there. Although it was just a quick glance, Li Rulan felt a little sour in her heart.

"No courtesy." Rui Min said.

Li Yunting held the leaf in her hand, stepped forward to salute Hua, "Is mother well?" "I think this is my sister."

Fahrenheit couldn't help herself, she stepped forward and grabbed Li Yunting's hand, "Xian'er."

Li Rulan looked at Li Yunting, getting closer, and saw that the skin on her body was rare, comparable to the skin she maintains every day.There is even a hint of jealousy in his heart, feeling that this lady magistrate is extremely at odds with him. Before entering the mansion, she was Ronghua and he was in the mud.After she was abducted, she got her good luck, and the old lady valued her for being able to enter the mansion. She thought she would be happy in the future, but she came back at this juncture! "Sister." But she didn't dare to reveal a little bit of her emotions, but judging from Fahrenheit's performance, she knew that Li Yaqian must be the treasure in her heart. If she showed her emotions, Fahrenheit's beating would be indispensable.

"It's so good." Rui Min clapped her hands, "Sister Li, please spend more time with me, you will have a long time with your mother and family in the future."

After Gege said this, no matter how much reluctance Fahrenheit had in his heart, he let go of Li Yunting's hand, more like a housewife, asking if Rui Min's basic necessities of life were satisfactory.Rui Min nodded, "Very good, I want to stroll around your yard with Sister Li, and let Sister Li play the tune for me."

Rui Min kept emphasizing that she wanted to go to the garden with Li Yunting, obviously she didn't want Huashi or Li Rulan to get involved.Although Li Rulan wanted to curry favor with Ming Duangege, it was not easy to do so, so Fahrenheit dragged Li Rulan to leave.

After seeing Li Yunting for real, although he didn't say a few words, Hua's heart finally settled down, thinking that the hands holding his daughter just now were still a little callused, and his body was as thin as what the mother said, So I thought about opening a warehouse and thinking about what I could do for my daughter.

Li Rulan needs to go to the old lady's place. Originally, Li Rulan had such a contemptuous mentality towards Li Yunting's opponent. It must be difficult for her to be kidnapped. Since it was brought back by the prince, it is unlikely that she will be sold. In a place with three abuses, it is more likely to be a servant or a child bride-in-law. The latter two are also jobs exposed to the wind and the sun. In such a prosperous Li Mansion, Li Rulan had imagined that she would be cowardly or lose her manners.It's just that after seeing each other for real, not to mention the appearance, the demeanor is also polite, and it doesn't seem like a person who has suffered.

After thinking about it, people rely on clothes, Li Yunting's beauty may be due to her dressing up, but how can she tell her bearing without saying a few words?And it is also possible that the maid of Prince Yu's family gave Li Yunting surprise training, which resulted in the current result.Thinking about it this way, most of the sense of crisis that Li Rulan had just seen Li Yunting dissipated, and even a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, it was not good to cry when she was going to see the old lady.Strong with some weakness, isn't this role well positioned?

The old lady was still smiling when she saw Li Rulan, but she felt a sudden shock in her heart. When she saw Li Rulan's fragility under her strength, she realized that this girl was covering her wounds, and she hugged Li Rulan quickly, heart and soul, Said: "You are the serious young lady of our Li family, who dares to make irresponsible remarks?"

After receiving the old lady's words, Li Rulan buried herself in the old lady's arms, pretending to cry, but secretly made a proud gesture.

After accompanying the old lady, she saw Li Yunting coming out of Linfeng Pavilion in the yard, followed by Qing Dai, Li Rulan's eyes lit up, it was a good opportunity, she said quickly: "Sister."

Originally, Li Yunting saw Li Rulan, but she had mixed feelings about Li Rulan. In her previous life, Li Yaqian had a rough life, but she blamed Li Rulan for the reason.Having calculated the fate of Li Rulan and Li Yaqian, it can be said that it was indeed Li Rulan who cut off Li Yaqian's fate.

"Sister." Li Yunting called softly.

Li Rulan said with a smile: "It's fate. I just thought that if I go back, I will definitely visit my sister. I didn't expect to see her as soon as I came out of the old lady's room."

"Yes. My sister has a heart." Li Yunting said lightly.

"Just now I heard you playing a tune with leaves in Linfeng Pavilion. It sounds really good. Does this tune have a name?" Li Rulan asked.

"I've heard other people say that too." Li Yunting said, but it's not in this world.

Li Rulan's eyes lit up, and she could faintly feel Li Yunting's two years of life, "Sister Qian, what kind of life was it?"

"Do some farm work every day." Li Yunting said simply.

When Li Rulan heard Li Yunting's words, the corners of Li Rulan's lips became more and more curved, so she should have spoken to Li Yunting before Fahrenheit had trained her.Where is there someone who buys girls to do farm work?She must be a child bride.Li Rulan was originally in a gloomy mood because of Li Yunting's return, and suddenly became enlightened. "After thinking about it, I will live a good life, and I will be at Cheng Huan's knees, and everything will be smooth from now on." Li Rulan said with a smile.

"Perhaps so." Li Yunting said simply.

The two talked about each other, but Li Rulan asked more questions, while Li Yunting answered simply.

After each of them entered the room, Qing Dai claimed that she was the person next to Li Yunting, and hurriedly said: "Miss, why did you tell me everything?"

"No problem." Li Yunting shook her head, "This is the truth, and there is nothing to hide."

Qingdai looked at Li Yunting, she looked like a banished fairy, and she really acted like a banished fairy, not touching the fireworks of the world.Since she became Li Yunting's maidservant in the future, she had to think a lot about her, so she said earnestly about the powerful relationship between Li Rulan and her.

Li Yunting rested her chin and listened to Qing Dai's words, "What you said makes sense. In the past two years or so, she has taken my place, and her imprint has been left everywhere in the mansion. The old lady loves her, and everyone in the mansion loves her." I like her. I know all this, but I can't hide it from the days when I'm not in the mansion, so it's okay to say it bluntly."

"Second Miss, I still think it's wrong." Qing Dai, who couldn't explain why, still shook her head.

"It's good for you to know this. I won't do what I shouldn't say or do." Li Yunting said, "As for that experience, I have already told her everything I can say."
