The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 8 Brother
Yuechan slept until dawn and was still in bed, when the curtain was lifted, Yue'e and Yueting hurried in.

"Sister, the sun is shining on your butt, get up quickly!" Yueting sat on the side of the bed, stretched out her cold little hand and stuffed it into Yuechan's quilt. The coldness in the hand.

"You girl, don't even look at what time it is, just come running here, well, while you guys are playing, I'll get up right away."

Since she couldn't sleep anymore, Yuechan naturally wanted to get up, and asked Huang Ying to play with Yue'e and Yueting. Huamei took two little girls to put on a water-red skirt for Yuechan, and put on an apricot-yellow gown outside. It was embroidered with peonies, and Yuechan's face was pink and sweet.

The hair was tightly tied into two long braids, which were pulled up on both sides, tied with pink silk flowers, and gold hairpins with beads hanging down were inserted on both sides.

After tidying up, Yuechan cleaned her face in the washbasin, took the towel handed by Thrush and wiped off the water droplets on her face, put down her rolled up sleeves, strode up to Yue'e, and walked towards Yue'e and Yueting. Nod each on the head: "Let's go, let's greet the old lady, after breakfast, Huang Ying must have put the things in the pavilion back, and then we will play together."

While talking, she took the thrush out first, followed by Yue'e and Yueting, and went all the way to the main room.

After eating at the old lady's place, the old lady kicked sister Yuechan out, leaving only Liu Mei in the room, and she didn't know what to discuss.

Sister Yuechan took the opportunity to go to the pavilion in the garden, and brought a flower basket to pick flowers with dewdrops in the morning. Yuechan sent some to the old lady and some to Liu Mei, and sister Yue'e did the same. made.

After distributing the flowers, the three sisters were a little hungry, so they sat in the pavilion talking, laughing and eating snacks.

Before eating here, the girl Chun Wen sent by Yue'e to deliver flowers to Liu Mei hurried over, and said as soon as she entered the pavilion: "Second Miss, Third Miss, my aunt told you to go over quickly, saying that I have something to talk about."

Yuechan froze for a moment, wondering what was wrong with Liu Mei, whether she didn't like to let sister Yue'e play with her, and purposely made excuses to drive the two girls away.

Even though she was thinking this way, Yuechan still smiled: "Since my aunt has something to ask you, you should hurry over there."

While talking, Yuechan asked Huamei to pack up the remaining snacks and handed them to Chunwen to carry, then she stood up and sent Sister Yue'e off.

Yue'e's complexion was a little bad, while Yueting frowned directly: "Mother, what are you going to do, I just played for a while, and I was having fun, so let me go back, I really don't know what she thinks, the girl who is all day long Nuhong, are you bothering me!"

Seeing Yueting's impatient look, Yuechan didn't say anything. This was a conflict between Liu Mei's mother and daughter. She was always an outsider and couldn't get in the way. Women are not very good, if a word is not good, or it will be a two-faced person.

Knowing that they would always be unable to hold back Liu Mei, Yue Ting stomped her feet angrily and left, Yue E followed behind Yue Ting, looking back at Yue Chan, a hint of jealousy clearly flashed in her eyes.

Yuechan didn't notice Yue'e's gaze, she smiled and sent the two sisters away, and asked Huamei to take the things back to the room.

Going back to the room to tidy up briefly, Yuechan left the thrush in the room and told others to retreat.

"Sister Huamei, what do you mean by Liu Mei?" In front of Huamei, Yuechan didn't have to hide anything, Huamei's loyalty was enough, Yuechan didn't believe that Huamei who could block the knife for her would betray her.

Huamei thought for a while, but she was a little confused, and said to herself: "Doesn't Aunt Liu not want the second and third misses to get close to you?"

"Probably not!" Yuechan shook her head: "Liu Mei promised well yesterday, if she changes her mind today, what will others think of her, she is not that stupid, she can just play tricks secretly, she won't play such superficial things."

This is true, Huamei also felt reasonable, and couldn't help but nodded: "Miss said so, I also think it is reasonable. If you think about it this way, could it be that there is something serious about her?"

Maybe that's it, Yuechan raised her hand: "Sister Huamei, look at which girl in our house has a good relationship with the girl in the old lady's house or Liu Mei's house, give them some money, and ask them to help find out Let's see what's going on."

This is a good way. When Thrush heard Yuechan's words, she immediately laughed, feeling that Yuechan had matured a lot and knew how to win people's hearts.

You know, at Yuechan's age, it's not easy for a familiar girl to make a fool of herself. What's more, Yuechan even knows how to give these girls money to buy people's hearts, which shows that this young lady is really serious. It's not simple.

Although my wife has poems and books in her stomach, she is too noble and pure-tempered. She has no intention of harming others, nor does she have any thoughts of guarding against others, so she disappeared early, and looking at the eldest lady like this, she is really amiable. My wife is different. She has such a deep scheming at a young age, and she will definitely not suffer in the future.

Huamei was very happy, and hurried to Yuechan's dressing table, took out a box inside, grabbed two handfuls of copper coins and went out. After a while, she came back and told Yuechan that a third-class girl in their yard had a very close relationship with a little girl in Liu Mei's house. Well, there is another cleaning girl and Pearl in the old lady's house who entered the mansion together, and usually have contacts, so they should be able to find out what happened.

Hearing what Huamei said, Yuechan was relieved, thinking that she would never be able to live in a daze, and she had to learn everything she needed to learn, not only poetry and calligraphy, but also calligraphy and painting, and female red housekeepers and the like. Also have to learn.

Thinking of Nuhong and the housekeeper, Yuechan was a little annoyed, other things are fine, you can find someone to teach or learn by yourself, but this Nuhong and the housekeeper alone can't do it, it's okay for Nuhong, you can learn from Huamei Learning, although it is not sure how good it is, but simple embroidery can always be made.

But the housekeeper is going to be very difficult, Liu Mei will be righted soon, she will be the wife of this house from now on, Yuechan wants to learn how to be a housekeeper, so naturally she has to learn from Liu Mei, but with Liu Mei's little thought, if she can If you teach Yuechan well, the sun will come out from the west.

Do you want to learn some housekeeping skills from the old lady?

Only when she thought of this possibility, Yuechan immediately vetoed it. The old lady has not cared about the family affairs for many years. Every day she just plays with the girls or Yuechan for a while, but she is very happy and relaxed. If Yuechan skips Liu Mei Learning to be a housekeeper from the old lady would not be good for Liu Mei or the Meng family. Although the old lady is old, she is not stupid, so naturally she would not do this.

After much deliberation, Yuechan sighed, let's wait and talk, learn what you can learn first, and talk about other things later when you find a chance.

After resting for a while, Yuechan wanted to find some pens and paper to practice calligraphy, when Huang Ying came quickly and said: "Miss, the young master is here to see you."

My brother is here?Yuechan raised her head: "Why is brother here? Isn't he going to the school to study today?"

Huang Ying smiled: "Miss is confused, isn't it? Yesterday the master took the young master to the academy to pay homage to Mr. Today, I have a day off to pack some things, and tomorrow the young master will officially go to the academy to study. I am afraid that I will live outside every now and then. Perhaps the young master is worried about the young lady, so come and have a look!"

Yuechan thought about it too, and laughed herself first: "I was confused."

While talking, Yuechan tidied up her clothes, went out to welcome Meng Haoyu in.

Looking carefully at her elder brother, Yuechan nodded secretly, her elder brother has not changed at all, it is still the same as in the previous life, and looking at Meng Haoyu's immature face, Yuechan frowned slightly, her elder brother seems to be more innocent.

Looking at his elder brother's appearance, he should be a young boy in his teens. He was wearing a light yellow gown inside, and a blue cardigan robe outside. .

He looks very similar to Meng Zhiwen, but because of his young age, he doesn't have the aura of elegance that Meng Zhiwen has all over his body. Instead, he looks as pink and cute as a snowball under the background of his clothes.

Especially a pair of eyes, full of shining light, when looking at people, it will make people feel that this is a pool of clear spring, it is really clear to the bottom.

While sizing Meng Haoyu up, Yuechan asked him to sit down and said with a smile, "Brother isn't busy today? I paid my respects to Mr. yesterday, did you say anything?"

Meng Haoyu looked at Yuechan and nodded: "My sister's complexion has improved a lot, she must have recovered from her illness, you don't have to worry about brother, yesterday I went to the academy to test some of my knowledge, and I answered all of them. The husband is very satisfied and let me Go to the school to study tomorrow."

Only then did Yuechan feel relieved, thinking that her elder brother's previous knowledge of poetry and calligraphy was taught by his father. Although his father has some flaws in character, he is not very courageous, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the inner house, but learning is good. My brother has learned so much. A few years, it won't be too bad.

As long as the elder brother is good at studying, the Meng family can be regarded as a scholarly family, the family of Liehou, and if the elder brother strives for success, if he can pass the imperial examination and enter the court, relying on the relationship of the Meng family, he will definitely be able to help him get promoted in the shortest time.

Yuechan made some calculations, and smiled at Meng Haoyu: "Well, brother must work hard. I heard from my father that that gentleman is a great Confucian in the world, and he accepts students very strictly. It is not easy for my brother to be recognized by him. Can you tell me?" You must learn from Mr.

While talking, she said again: "Also, brother, don't study desperately, but remember to combine work and rest, the body is the most important thing, you should take good care of it."

Meng Haoyu bowed his head, his eyes were a little hot. Since his mother passed away, although his father taught him, men and women are different after all. His father is a strict father, and he always scolded him sharply, asking him to learn this and that. He was young and only cared about playing. Although the old lady loved him, but after all, the old lady valued his father most in her heart, so she treated him much worse.

But today, when his ignorant younger sister said such words, Meng Haoyu was very moved. He felt that his younger sister was really sensible and knew how to care about himself. the days before.

Huang Ying came over with tea and snacks, and Yuechan pushed the snacks in front of Meng Haoyu: "Brother, try it, this is a gift from the old lady, it is said that it is made according to the recipe in the palace, I am fine eating it , Brother also eat some."

Meng Haoyu nodded, stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of crystal plum-shaped pastry, put it in his mouth and took a bite, his mouth was immediately filled with fragrance and a little bit of sweetness, although it was sweet but not greasy, the taste was really good.

"It's really good!" After eating a piece of dessert, Meng Haoyu admired it, and then looked at Yuechan: "When brother is not at home, you should be more concerned about yourself, and you should mention something that the girls can't reach, Yue'e If you and Yueting are making trouble, don't worry about it, after all..."

Meng Haoyu didn't say the following words, but Yuechan was very clear in her heart, and the meaning was already obvious. After all, Liu Mei will still be in charge of the mansion in the future, and it would be very unfavorable for her if she and Yue'e and Yueting collapsed.

Yuechan was about to sigh in admiration, thinking that her brother was not as innocent as imagined, and he seemed a little narrow-minded.

Before she could say anything here, Meng Haoyu said again: "Aunt Liu is a very kind person, she is very kind, and she treats our brothers and sisters as if they were your own. From now on, you should respect her more and get closer to her..."

Yuechan was speechless, and wanted to touch her forehead and sigh, thinking that it was no wonder that her brother was framed by Liu Mei and stuck in the quagmire of gambling and could not get out. It turned out that he was really too innocent, thinking that Liu Mei was a good person. How can you tell that Liu Mei is good, Liu Mei is just a treacherous villain with a hidden knife in his smile, okay?
