The Blessing of Traveling to Pregnancy

Chapter 20

The news that Qing Mei had just returned to the mansion and performed the wrong etiquette spread like wind in private.It's just that apart from saluting, Qingmei didn't have any troubles in other parts of the day.Zhang's mother held her chest. Apart from kneeling and forgetting, this little aunt was blessed with everything else, and the corners of her mouth would twitch slightly when it was time to smile, and she passed it safely.

The first day back to the mansion was quite busy, butler Lin followed Xu's instructions and stayed close to each other, politely introducing her to the big and small things in the mansion.Qingmei followed him to the yard where she lived.Although the house in the Lin Mansion is big, the children are still young. Except for the eldest son who lives a little farther away, the other children live in the warm pavilion behind the main house.But the eldest son Lin Yuanye has a small main room alone, very close to Xu's.This is also because Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her son, and deliberately let Lin Yuanye live closer.Although Qingmei just came back, she lives in a small main house.

"Miss, look, there is a small pond in the yard here, look at how green the lotus leaves are. Madam also planted a lot of flowers and plants here, I think Miss must like such an elegant place." Lin Butler bent over and said with a smile.

Qingmei nodded her head, as a response.

Mama Wang's and Mama Zhang's hearts suddenly twitched.Although they wrote a letter to Mrs. Xu when they were in Biezhuang, but it rained heavily all the way, even those messengers didn't deliver the letter!The letter made it clear that Qingmei has been afraid of water since she was young because she accidentally fell into the water. Now that there is such a pond in the yard where she lives, isn't it fatal?

Butler Lin was careful, and noticed the difference in the expressions of Ms. Wang and Ms. Zhang, and wondered if he had said something wrong just now?He took a closer look at Qingmei again—the young lady's expression was quite normal.Butler Lin thought about it secretly, and it seemed that Ms. Zhang and Ms. Wang had to talk to their wife about Miss in detail tonight.

"Miss, this way is the East Wing. The Second Miss lives here, and the West Wing lives in the Third Miss and the Fifth Miss." These are all concubines, because the Second Miss Qingyou was raised under Xu's name. , lived alone in the East Wing.Qingmei also has a concubine elder sister who was married to a small official from another place a year ago.

Everyone walked into the house where Qingmei lived, and the house was already fully furnished, with all kinds of furniture revealing the so-called low-key luxury of a big family.Mrs. Xu still pays attention to these aspects. The so-called difference between concubine and concubine, at this time, the decoration in Qingmei's room is naturally better than Qingyou and the others, but it is not as good as her younger brother Lin Yuanye.

"Miss, next to your house is the small garden in the mansion, do you want to take a look? Besides, other ladies also want to come and see you."

"How long will I be staying here?"

"This... huh?" Steward Lin was taken aback, a little puzzled by Qingmei's question, but he still said honestly, "Miss is really good at joking, so naturally I will stay here until you get married. Even if I go Husband's house, this is also your boudoir, and the Lin Mansion is always your natal family."

"Since there is plenty of time, there is no need to rush to meet and visit the garden." Qingmei made a decisive decision.Butler Lin could only smile and nod.

One of the maids gathered in the room sneaked out, and waved quietly to the little maids outside the door, indicating that Qing Mei had no interest in seeing her sisters today.The little maids understood and reported to the masters.Lest you rush to meet people on the ground, and end up making yourself miserable!

Until the welcome banquet for dinner, Qingmei spent her sleep in the room.Just before the banquet, she appeared slowly.As a result, when she arrived, it was time to start the banquet, and Qingyou didn't have time to say some words she had prepared.

In the mansion, there is an emphasis on eating and sleeping without talking, and Qingmei implements these two very well.

After finally finishing the welcome banquet, when everyone planned to go to the garden for a walk to digest food and chat for a while, Qingmei suddenly stood up and walked in front of Mrs. Xu, "Mother, my daughter came back after traveling for more than half a month. I am tired at this time Very much, if there is nothing else, the daughter will go back to the house to rest, and hope for mother's permission."

Those words were enough to keep everyone silent for nearly a stick of incense.

Xu looked at her for a while, and finally said, "Mei'er has worked hard all the way, go back and rest."

"Thank you mother." After finishing speaking, he left with Dongqiao Liangfeng.

"Okay, everyone go back." Mrs. Xu waved her hand lightly.

Being stabbed by a needle hidden in Qingmei's words, the interest in viewing flowers is gone.The young ladies and aunts sitting around immediately got up and bowed their blessings, and went back to their rooms with winks.

After everyone dispersed, Mrs. Xu summoned Butler Lin, "Let Mama Zhang and Mama Wang come to my room later." Steward Lin understood and hurried down to order.

At night, Zhang's mother saw that Qingmei's place had settled down, and when she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Lin Butler asked her to go to Xu's house.Zhang's mother frowned, she just felt that what she had experienced in the palace for so many years was not as exciting as today's.

When she arrived at Xu's courtyard, she found that Mama Wang had just come out of the house.Zhang's mother's heart shuddered - the wife called her to ask about the young lady.Now that Mrs. Wang just came out, she must have told his wife about the young lady before her. What should I do if what I said is inconsistent with what Mrs. Wang said?Zhang's mother thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea in her mind. She stabilized her mind, and entered the room with her skirt in hand.

"Mother Zhang, this journey has been really hard for you." Mrs. Xu was sitting in front of the dressing table, and the big maid, Lan Xin, was helping her comb her hair. "I heard that there were several heavy rains along the way. I don't think there is any good medicine on the way. Now that you are back, remember to drink more ginseng soup. Zhang's mother is also an old man in the house. You must take care of yourself."

"Thank you for your concern, madam." Mother Zhang replied with a smile, "This servant is a bit of a boner, and I'm fine in a little rain. My wife is careful, and the young lady ordered the kitchen to make ginseng soup as soon as she came back. The servant must have been cultivated by her predecessor. Blessed to be able to follow a master like my wife."

"Hey, my daughter has had a lot of troubles since she was a child. I am very reluctant to send her to the Biezhuang, but for the sake of her health, I can only do this. Meier is young, so she must have blamed me all these years." Xu frowned sadly, "If she blames me, she should be blaming me. After all, I have treated her badly."

"Madam, please don't say that." Zhang's mother hurriedly stopped Xu's tears, "Miss is young, and now she is brought back to the mansion, and seeing how hard she has worked for her, she will definitely understand her difficulties."

Xu wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "I hope so. Oh, by the way, how does Meier feel about the yard she lives in now?"

Zhang's mother had been prepared for a long time, and she said, "Miss naturally likes it very much. The courtyard has always been the most elegant place in the mansion. Back then, when brother Ye'er wanted that courtyard, Madam couldn't bear it."

"As long as she likes it." Xu said, "It's not in vain to waste my heart."

"It's just..." Zhang's mother paused, and quietly glanced at Mrs. Xu.Mrs. Xu remained silent, and Zhang's mother continued, "When I was in Biezhuang, I heard from Steward Cui that although the young lady has nothing to taboo, she is only a little afraid of water. I think it is normal for this little girl to be afraid of some water at home. of."

"Are you afraid of water?" Mrs. Xu thought for a while, just now Mama Wang said the same.The two experienced old men in the mansion both said so, it seems that Qingmei did not pretend to be afraid of water on purpose.But even so, she couldn't let Qingmei move to another yard.

Qingmei's residence is indeed the most elegant place in the mansion, but it is also the main house in the backyard farthest from her younger brother Lin Yuanye.Moreover, there is a lotus pond in the courtyard, and places with a lot of water must be more cloudy.At the beginning, Lin Qingmei was judged by the abbot of Donglai Temple that 'this girl is very yin, if she stays with her mother forever, her biological mother may be in danger. 'So it's better to stay away from this kind of dark place, I can't let the evil star Lin Qingmei affect my son!
"I used to say, this person, the more he is afraid of something, the more he has to get along with it, lest he become a weakness because of it in the future. Meier is a legitimate daughter, and after she gets married, she will definitely manage the backyard , can't be too weak."

"Madam taught me the lesson." It seems that Qing Mei knew that she would not change her place even if she knew that she was afraid of water.

"Miss just came back, and there are many things that you old people still need to point out. In a few days, I will find some female gentlemen to teach. If Qingyou and the others are willing to listen, let them go. The girls are together, and you can talk if you want to talk." There will be more."

"Yes, ma'am, don't worry, this servant will do it now." Mama Zhang bowed and said goodbye.

After Lan Xin changed Xu's clothes, Xu closed her eyes and leaned comfortably in the chaise longue.Lan Xin squatted aside, pinching her legs moderately.

"Lan Xin, how many years have you been by my side?"

"It's been seven years since I told Madam." From the 11-year-old maid to the big girl now, seven years of youth have been spent serving the most honorable woman in the mansion.

"Tomorrow you can serve the young lady. Xingfang's maidservants are still too impetuous."

"Yes." Lan Xin nodded obediently.
