Splendid Book

Chapter 36

After dinner, the old lady asked Mrs. Xu to lead Shen Changle to have a rest, she was exhausted today, so she should rest earlier.As for the table next to it, it was very lively pushing and changing glasses.

And Shen Changle was indeed tired, even though he had rested in the car for a long time today, after all the car ride all the way, his body was sore.Mrs. Xu got up immediately, stretched out her hand to hold Shen Changle, lowered her head and smiled softly at her: "Auntie, you have cleaned up your yard a long time ago, it is not far from your auntie's yard, if there is anything missing, send someone immediately Come tell your aunt."

"Thank you, auntie," Shen Changle lowered his head and smiled.

She knew that her uncle was the eldest son, so her aunt's yard must be huge and in a good location. If it was in the yard next to her aunt, no matter how she looked at it, it wouldn't look bad.Although Shen Changle did not live in the Jining Marquis Mansion in her previous life, she would still come and live there occasionally, but at that time she always lived in the old lady's courtyard, but now she has an independent courtyard.

Mrs. Xu took Shen Changle's hand, and two maidservants carrying palace lanterns illuminated the road ahead.Because it was getting late at this time, Mrs. Xu just picked up important places and talked about it.When it came to her living alone, Xu couldn't help asking: "Changle wants to live in a courtyard alone, do you feel afraid?"

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'm not afraid," Shen Changle shook her head, she raised her head and smiled at Mrs. Xu, "I also live alone in a courtyard at home."

Naturally, Mrs. Xu knew that, seeing the little girl's cheerful face, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.Such a young child is just at the age when she is nestled in her mother's arms and clamoring to sleep with her mother, but she lives alone in a yard, and she has to manage the money, reward the servants, and discipline her. Maid and mother-in-law.

"Now that you live here, it is your own home, but you must not be polite to your aunt," Xu said affectionately.

"I know, auntie," Shen Changle took her hand, and his feet were as relaxed as if they were stepping on cotton balls.

When Shen Changle heard the name of the courtyard when he arrived at the Lanting Courtyard, he was immediately surprised and speechless.Apparently the name of this courtyard reminded her of Ye Lanting far away in the south of the Yangtze River.He did, as he said, write a lot of letters to himself.It's just that she made an excuse that she couldn't write, and asked her second elder brother to tell Ye Lanting when he replied to the letter.

So for two years, Shen Changle didn't reply him a single letter.

Shen Changle still remembers that every word he wrote in the letter was written with the promise he always remembered to her.

For Ye Lanting's enthusiasm, Shen Changle can only be silent, only hoping that this childhood friendship will slowly dissipate with time.

Mrs. Xu led her in. As soon as Fang entered the yard, she saw many maids standing under the porch. She took a look, and the leader was a maid with a face, while her three maids stood beside her.

As soon as the leading servant girl entered and came over to them, she immediately greeted them respectfully, "My maidservant greets my wife, my cousin."

"This is Biyun, the maid beside me, she is pretty smart. My aunt knows that all the maids around you are capable, but she is a little familiar with this mansion, so if you have any errands, just send her there Do it," Xu pointed at her and said with a smile.

Biyun was wearing a water-red bikini, with a slender face and delicate features. Looking at Shen Changle at this time, she couldn't help saying: "No wonder the old lady and the wife are thinking about it all the time. Our cousin girl looks so cute." It's so beautiful, the head servant is so good, but I haven't seen such a good-looking person before."

"You're the one who speaks eloquently," Xu smiled slightly, but Shen Changle couldn't hide the surprise in her heart at this time, she knew that Biyun was Xu's big maid, but she didn't expect Xu to give her to herself.

Although she always knew that her aunt was very kind to her, she didn't expect her aunt to take such good care of her from the very beginning.

"Sister Biyun will be in trouble in the future," Shen Changle nodded.

Bi Yun immediately said: "Miss, what you say is a nuisance to a slave. It is a slave's duty to serve a girl, how dare you say anything troublesome."

Xu nodded in satisfaction, and led Shen Changle into the room.As soon as you enter the house, it is brightly lit. The main house is a three-room courtyard, the middle is used as a living room, and the innermost room on the left is her living place.On the right side is the place for reading and embroidery. There is a yellow pear wood arhat bed next to the window, and on the right is a yellow pear wood screen. Behind it are desks and bookshelves. The layout is not only elegant, but also extremely delicate.

"It's getting late today, and I think you're tired after a day's driving. Ask the maid in the yard to boil some hot water, take a comfortable bath, and go to bed early," Xu looked at her with a gentle face .

It's true, she has only two sons, and she usually likes pretty little girls.Seeing such a beautiful little girl now, who speaks softly, well-behaved and obedient, isn't it even more likable.

"Auntie also went back to rest earlier, this made Auntie tired." Shen Changle knew that it would not take a day or two to tidy up the yard.Coupled with the decorations in this room, everything is exquisite.

"This child is still polite to his aunt," Xu said again.

After a while, Mrs. Xu was about to leave, and Shen Changle sent him to the door.

Biyun immediately greeted the maidservant to boil hot water for her to freshen up.At this time, Chunliu and the others displayed her daily things, and the four of them were in order.When Chunliu and Luwu waited for her to take a bath, Shen Changle smiled and asked, "Are you still used to this place?"

"Naturally, I'm used to it. Sister Biyun has a very good temper and treats us affectionately. Besides, this is my uncle's house, who dares to neglect us?"

Shen Changle nodded, that's true.She is not a down-and-out cousin girl, on the contrary, she is a girl from the Duke's Mansion.Now they are only staying here temporarily, so they are petite guests, as Lu Wu said, who would dare to neglect them.

"Even if others dare not neglect you, you also need to be cautious in your words and deeds," Shen Changle instructed.

Chunliu responded immediately: "Miss, just don't worry, the servants will save it, and they will never embarrass our Duke's Mansion."

Lu Wu also smiled, and hurriedly said: "That's right, don't worry, girl, we all know the seriousness. Although there are strict rules in the mansion, our Duke Wei's mansion also has strict rules."

"As long as you know it, you just need to act generously, and we are only staying here temporarily, and we will be able to go back after a while," Shen Changle said.

Both of their maidservants knew that Duke Wei's mansion was going to move back to the capital, so they got excited when they mentioned this.After all, no matter how good it is outside, it is always better to be at home.Not to mention that these two maids think like this, even she herself thinks like this.

After she took a shower, she sat on the Luohan bed and let Chunliu dry her hair with the smoker.

Biyun also came over, and asked with a smile: "Girl, there is a late-night snack in the kitchen, what would you like to eat?"

Shen Changle thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "I don't like to eat at night, so I don't need it."

Just now at the banquet, the old lady was afraid that she would be too shy to move her chopsticks, so she kept asking the servant girl to bring her vegetables.And Mrs. Xu and her aunt kept letting her eat, so she really ate a lot.Now she didn't want to rest earlier, she felt that there was still food in her stomach.

On the other side, Zhang Ru personally helped the old lady back to the yard. The old lady sat down, took a breath obviously, and sighed: "I'm old after all. I just went to the garden and I'm so tired."

"I see mother, you are happy," Zhang Ru said with a smile, and then ordered the maid next to her to pour a cup of ginseng tea from the stove.

After Zhang Ru sat down next to the old lady, she smiled and said, "I never thought that Chang Le would look so good-looking."

"That's right, she's prettier than you and Miss Rong when you were young," the old lady said with relief.

Zhang Ru snorted, and said with some amusement: "Mother now has a granddaughter, so she despises me as a daughter."

The old lady knew that she was just joking, but she would calm down, only her own daughter was in front of her, so she spoke out her heart. "Looking at her, she really looks like your sister when she was a child. When I look at her, it's as if I can see Sister Rong."

Zhang Rong is the youngest daughter, and not only her parents dote on her, but her brothers and sisters also dote on her, and she is the first to get all the good things.As a result, she was the first one to leave.Zhang Ru was also heartbroken by what the old lady said, but when she saw the eyes of the old lady were moist again, she immediately persuaded: "Mother, please don't be sad anymore, Rong'er has been gone for so long, you must do it." Take care of your body. I think Changle is a good child, but I was worried that she would be misled by Lin Xiang."

"How is this possible?" The old lady frowned immediately when she heard this. She glanced at her daughter and said with a little seriousness: "I know you look down on your cousin, but she is still your cousin after all. I promised her mother Yes, if I give it to someone else, I won’t worry about it.”

"Mother, I told you a long time ago that today is different from the past. In the past, my aunt asked you everywhere, so she naturally flattered you in every possible way. But now my cousin has married into the Shen family, has become the wife of the state, and has her own daughter. Your child, how could she still treat Changle wholeheartedly," Zhang Rong knew that the old lady didn't believe what she said, but this brother would still fight against the wall, let alone this cousin.

The old lady Zhang sighed again, and she said: "You think I don't know that your cousin is not very different from before, but this person is fickle, I just hope she can remember some duties, Just wait for Changle to feel better."

"I don't think so. If the two of them are sons, Lin Xiang's hand can't be stretched that long, but Changle is a girl, and she has to be raised by her. If she really has some bad intentions, then Changle has to bear it." Go," Zhang Ru couldn't help but said.

As a result, the two were talking, when they heard some noise outside, Zhang Ru thought it was the two young ones, but it turned out that Zhang Xing broke in.

Zhang Ru was taken aback, and immediately got up and said, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"You go out first," he said, pointing to the maid in the room.

The maids hurried out, and when the old lady saw that her son was so nervous, her heart arose, and she asked, "What happened?"

"I said that my mother mentioned it many times before, asking him to send Changle to stay for a while, but he refused. This time, he sent it here instead," Zhang Xingzhi was almost out of breath.

Zhang Ru had never seen her eldest brother like this before, and she couldn't help but panic, and said, "Brother, what is it, please tell me in detail."

"Mother, Shen Lingcheng sent Changle here this time because someone wanted to harm her."
