The reborn concubine seeks the world

Chapter 3 Talent and Learning
The eldest lady took my hand and looked me up and down carefully.

I lowered my head slightly and smiled lightly, but never said a word.

"Well, she is really a cute girl."

The lady nodded, "Bailing, go and get the bracelet I just got the day before yesterday."

After the lady finished speaking, Bai Ling smiled and presented the bracelet.

A green and transparent jade bracelet was shining with a dazzling luster.

"Give it to Miss San."

The eldest lady said lightly.

Bai Ling walked up to me with a smile and said: "Miss San, Mrs. Madam just got this bracelet the day before yesterday and said she would keep it for you. Miss San please stretch out her hand, and I will help you to wear it."

After hearing these words, I immediately bowed to the eldest lady again.

"Thank you mother for your kindness."

I stretched out my fresh and fair hand, and Bai Ling looked at it suddenly, and said with a smile: "I never thought that the third lady has been out these years, but she is so good-looking. If the eldest lady and the second lady saw it today, maybe they would miss it." I want to go out and live for a few years."

Hearing this, I was taken aback.

Aunt Liu on the side walked up to me with a smile, "Bailing, this girl likes to talk nonsense, don't be surprised by Miss San."

Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief, Aunt Liu is helping me out.

It is said that Bai Ling is the servant girl next to the eldest lady, so it is wrong to speak so indifferently, I am afraid that there is something in her words. In the mansion, it should not be the turn of a maid to say that I have stayed outside the mansion for so many years, but the maid said, I am afraid it is the master's intention.

Although there are three courtyards in the entire Murong Mansion, after all, the female family members of the three courtyards are headed by the Da Furen. If the Da Furen wants to deal with me as soon as I come back, then I am afraid that I will not stay in the Murong Mansion for long.

Hearing Aunt Liu's simple rebuke turned the embarrassment in my heart into peace, and I was very grateful to her in my heart, so I raised my eyes to look at Bai Ling, and immediately smiled slightly.

"It's okay for Auntie, it's because of Sister Bailing's straightforward temper."

As soon as I said this, not only Aunt Liu at the side showed a satisfied smile on her face, but Bai Ling also smiled.

The Da Furen nodded slightly at this time, but her expression looked a little listless. Also, it was already dark outside, and it was the cold winter season, so people tended to get sleepy.

"Ma'am, it's time for you to rest at this time, I will bring the third lady back to the yard first."

Seeing Aunt Liu's words, the eldest lady smiled slightly.

"Go, Qingluan is different from the other ladies and young masters in the house. She is a hard-working child. From now on, Qingluan will have to worry about Aunt Liu's teaching."

Since the eldest lady spoke like this, Aunt Liu naturally responded: "Don't worry, eldest lady, this concubine will definitely teach the third lady well."

Coming out of Da Furen's courtyard, Aunt Liu reached out to take my hand intentionally or unintentionally, I glanced at her, but saw a smile in her eyes.

"Don't be afraid, just now Da Furen just wanted Bai Ling to try you, but you are really smart, Da Madam doesn't seem to embarrass you, as long as you live a peaceful life in the mansion and don't cause trouble for the mansion. gone."

Aunt Liu broke my mood so much, I immediately blushed.

"Thanks to Auntie, you helped me out, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself in front of my mother."

Seeing what I said, Aunt Liu smiled very happily.

"I have been in Murong's house for more than ten years, but I have never had a child. Since you were arranged by the eldest lady to live with me, it is equivalent to adopting you under my name. Third Miss, from now on In the days to come, I will definitely protect you well, as long as you don't commit any serious crimes, I will have a way to protect you."

In this life, suddenly someone said to protect me, I couldn't help but look at Aunt Liu a few more times.

I am not related to her, so I naturally understand that she protects me because she really likes me. Although I have been fostered outside the house for 13 years, no matter how low my status is, I am still Murong Lie's biological daughter.

Aunt Liu is probably not asking for nothing when she treats me like this. She said that she has no children, so she protects me by protecting herself. After all, my existence can still give her some hope.

Suppressing the thoughts in my heart, I looked at Aunt Liu gratefully, "Thank you, Qingluan, for your love."

I followed Aunt Liu all the way to her yard.

My residence was arranged in the West Wing, while Aunt Liu's was in the East Wing, separated from me by quite a few rooms, but this is exactly what I like.

After settling me down, Aunt Liu ordered the maid to bring many books into my room.

"One month later, the empress invited ladies from officials of the third rank or above to enter the palace to enjoy the flowers. Even so, there will inevitably be a contest of talent and learning. No matter whether the ladies of other families are descendants or concubines, most of them are somewhat different. You are different, you have lived abroad for thirteen years, I inquired about it earlier, your biological mother never hired a teacher for you when she was alive, and my aunt does not ask you to read all these books, I just hope you read them a little bit. If you can see it better, you won’t be ashamed in front of the Empress and other young ladies in a month’s time.”

Hearing that the empress is going to hold a flower viewing party in a month, I couldn't help feeling in a trance. Aunt Liu probably thought that I was timid, so she sighed.

"Auntie knows that it is indeed embarrassing for you to want you to read so many obscure books, but Miss San, you have to know that although our master is brave and good at fighting, those literati secretly ridiculed him as a talentless and reckless person. Man, so at the flower viewing party, my aunt does not ask you to show off, but I hope you can do nothing wrong, you have to know that if you make a fool of yourself, you will embarrass your father, and even make the entire Murong Mansion a laughing stock of others."

I heard that Aunt Liu analyzed the whole situation so thoroughly, and I understood it immediately.

I looked at Aunt Liu and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Auntie, naturally Qingluan won't go out and disgrace her father, and of course she can't disgrace Auntie either."

Seeing what I said, Aunt Liu was relieved just now.

However, at this moment, I was screaming angrily in my heart.

Empress, that sister who once took everything from me, Zhou Xiaolian, I didn't expect that I would meet her again so soon!
But now I am no longer Zhou Ning, I am Murong Qingluan, even eight years younger than Zhou Ning.

My face was a little pale, and I clenched my fingers tightly. When I thought of the various injuries that Zhou Xiaolian and Yu Wenjin had done to me, my heart throbbed with pain.

"What's the matter, are you not feeling well?"

Aunt Liu saw that something was wrong with my expression, so she immediately asked.

But I shook my head and said with a slight smile, "Maybe it's because I've been traveling all the way today and I'm very tired."

Seeing what I said, Aunt Liu immediately reached out to help me sit down.

"Hui'er, check to see if the ginseng soup in the small kitchen is ready, and bring it to Miss San in a while."

After Aunt Liu finished speaking, the maid next to her hurried out.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll be fine after a night's rest."

Seeing what I said, Aunt Liu said: "This ginseng soup can not only relieve the feeling of fatigue, but also nourish your body. We don't often have this thing in our yard. The old lady gave it to me before. I will keep it to know you If you want to come back, today I specially asked the small kitchen to cook it."

Hearing these words, no matter whether Aunt Liu's kindness to me was true or false, I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart, and the circles of my eyes immediately turned red.

"Thank you, Auntie."

When the ginseng soup was delivered, Aunt Liu had already gone back to her room to rest. After all, she was an elderly woman. In such a cold weather, even with a charcoal fire, she still felt sleepy.

After drinking the ginseng soup, Hong Lian took away the bowl and spoon, then came back and told me to go to Da Furen's place to pay my respects tomorrow morning.

I naturally understand that I came back late today, and I haven't met the other women in the mansion one by one, but it is always a tough battle for me to say hello tomorrow, after all, my current status is not as good as before. As the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, I am deeply loved by my father. Anyone who sees me should be polite.

Now, I am just a little concubine in the Murong Mansion, and I have been fostered outside for many years. I reckon that in this mansion, not many people think highly of me.
