Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 20

One day when Laba was approaching, after taking a nap, Yin Huan was called to the Lanxin Courtyard. As soon as he entered the room, Yin Huan saw Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Mu sitting on it.

Fang looked at her very gently, "Come here." Yin Huan walked over, this time, she did not show any cowardly expression, and respectfully called her aunt, mother, Fang pulled her, smiled He said to Mrs. Mu, "Sister-in-law, look at this child."

"Yin Huan, if you are allowed to leave this Zhuqing Courtyard and live in the Bauhinia Courtyard with your aunt, would you be willing?" Mrs. Mu said directly without beating around the bush.

"Auntie is talking about adoption?" Yin Huan didn't evade, but met her gaze, Mrs. Mu nodded, and Yin Huan asked again, "Auntie wants Yin Huan to pass on, right?"

"Yes, would you like to?"

"May I ask, is it because Auntie likes Yin Huan that she wants Yin Huan to accompany you?" Yin Huan's eyes were full of persistence, and he looked straight at Mrs. Mu with a glint of hope, but then quickly restrained himself. In the past, even if she wanted to win sympathy, she had to fight for it.

Both Fang and Mu were taken aback, and Fang asked, "Why do you ask such a question?"

"Because if Auntie doesn't like Yin Huan, Auntie won't be happy even if Yin Huan goes to accompany her." Yin Huan said seriously.

After a long time, Mrs. Mu stretched out his hand and touched Yin Huan's face, showing a rare smile of comfort, "Of course I did this because I like you, so are you willing?"

Her ability is meager, even if she was reborn, she escaped several disasters, and finally came to this step. Yin Huan touched Mu's hand tremblingly, and nodded slightly, "Yin Huan is willing."

"If you go to my place, they will be my children. In the future, you can't call them father and mother. You have to respect me as mother and respect the dead uncle as father. You are no longer your aunt's child, do you know?"

Yin Huan looked back at Fang, nodded, "Yin Huan knows."

"Good boy, you go back, I have something to discuss with your aunt." Fang asked Qing Ya to take Yin Huan out, and then talked with Mu about the heir daughter.

Yin Huan was almost stunned by the sudden joy. He thought that there had been no news, maybe Mrs. Mu was annoyed and didn't want to choose.

"Sister Qing Ya, am I dreaming?" Walking to the corner of the corridor, Yin Huan turned around again, looked up at Qing Ya, and squeezed her little hands tightly, fearing it might be fake.

"Miss Seven, this is true, you are not dreaming." Seeing her expectant and fearful look, Qing Ya took her hand and walked towards Zhuqingyuan, "The eldest lady came here early in the morning and mentioned this to the madam. things, so Miss Seven doesn't have to worry."

She is not worried, she just feels happy, this is a big change, she has been going to the Small Buddha Hall every time she spends six months, and finally left some impressions in the heart of the aunt, she bet right, No matter how gorgeous and jumping, it is better to let her remember quietly.

Thinking of this, the corners of Yin Huan's mouth turned up, and even his footsteps became brisk...

The matter of adopting a step-daughter proceeded very quickly, and Mu's style of doing things was not sloppy. After discussing with Fang's here, he went to Mrs. Gu and told her what she wanted, and asked Mrs. Gu to help choose a good one together. Days presided over the affairs of the heir.

Mrs. Gu saw that Mrs. Mu had made her own proposal, and she was too happy, so she quickly sent her second daughter-in-law to help with the matter. There were a lot of affairs near the New Year's Eve, and it happened that Laba was over, and it was not too late for officials who were serving abroad to come back. Before it arrived, Mrs. Gu simply chose this day to be at the beginning of the year.

The day is certain, and everyone in the Gu family will know about the eldest lady's heir daughter, and in the end it is Miss Qi who plans to adopt the third wife.

As for Miss Seven of the third room, not many people in the Gu family knew clearly what kind of person this Miss Seven was, who would be spotted by the Da Furen, and even the maidservants outside the Zhuqing Court passed by frequently. Much higher.

In Yinhuan's room, Qingya and Siqi called the female master from the garment workshop to measure Yinhuan's figure. Ask Yin Huan to stand on the soft couch and walk around her waist to measure her size.

Yin Huan was already thin and small, but once she took off her weight, she became a little smaller, which made people feel distressed.

Siqi put the clothes on her. Apart from the Duke, she rarely found out how much the eldest lady paid attention to other things. This time, the eldest lady asked her to come over and help Miss Qi make the clothes. It shows that she attaches great importance to her heir this time.

"Master Yang, can this dress be finished before the third grade?"

"Yes, I can call a few more. Miss Seven is small and her clothes are not embroidered, so she has time." Master Yang put away his things and followed Siqi out. Qing Ya tied up the clothes for Yin Huan, put on his coat, The chubby body came back again, Qing Ya smiled and said, "Okay."

"Sister Qingya, why do you have to make so many sets of clothes?" Yin Huan hugged the stove, sitting there, a little puzzled, except for the one she wore when her heir daughter, the female master said that she made something else Several sets.

"It's Da Furen and Furen who love you." Qing Ya brought her hot tea over, watched her whisper, "From now on, Qing Ya will serve you, Miss Seven."

Yin Huan was stunned for a long while, looking at Qing Ya's rare smiling face, he couldn't believe it, "Sister Qing Ya, you mean, mother asked you to follow me to the Bauhinia Courtyard?"

"Ma'am, I'm afraid you won't be familiar with the Bauhinia Courtyard, so I can help you with some things, Miss Seven, would you like to?"

"Of course I would. It would be great if mother could give me Sister Qing Ya." Yin Huan quickly grabbed her hand, smiling happily. She can relax a lot about herself.

Not long after, Er Dong came back with a food box, followed by Xi Qiu who was full of smiles, "Miss, I don't know what's wrong today, on the way to the kitchen, many maids greeted us."

"What did you say?" Yin Huan frowned slightly when he saw the dishes. Usually, there are two meats, two vegetables and one soup, but today they are full of fish and meat.

"I said that Miss is going to move to Da Furen's, and I asked Miss if there is any more staff in this house." As soon as Xi Qiu finished speaking, Yin Huan put down his chopsticks, looked at Er Dong and said, "How did you eat here before?" It’s still how to eat, who asked you to put these dishes in.”

"It's Mama Guan from the kitchen, who said Miss should eat something like this now." Seeing Yin Huan's face darken, Er Dong put the two plates of fish back, "Miss, don't be angry, Er Dong knows how to measure."

"Forget about today, I went back to the kitchen, how to eat in the past, so as not to let people gossip, now it's just the news about the heir, look how many people are outside the Zhuqing courtyard, I don’t know how many of them are watching the excitement.” This kitchen is full of fish and dragons, and a cook is adding dishes, but it’s hard to say who is behind the scenes, how can a little cook have such great power to change the menu at will.

Yin Huan saw that they lowered their heads, and slowed down their tone, "Our house has always been low-key, and those maids and women would rush to grab you when they saw it was profitable. In the past, they would have said a word to you, What you have to do now is to live in peace and contentment, as it was in the past, it is still the same as it is now."

Looking at the table full of meat dishes, Yin Huan felt that he had no appetite, so he simply ate some food and asked Er Dong to clean up the table.

When he got outside the house, Xi Qiu was still a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask Er Dong's expression. He just whispered to An Xia, "Isn't that the one in the kitchen to please Miss? Why doesn't Miss want it?"

Er Dong looked back at them and said sharply, "I didn't expose you just now in front of Miss, Xi Qiu, who gave you the courage to let me see if the dishes in Miss's food box are correct, you and I said no problem."

Scared by her scolding, Xi Qiu knelt down and hurriedly explained, "No, Sister Er Dong, I think Miss is growing up, and what Mama Guan said is right, Miss should eat better, so I will Say it's okay."

"Don't you know that every lady's meal list in Zhuqingyuan is written and cannot be changed at will. If you take it like this, you can see what they will say about the lady behind her back. They will say that the lady is worth a lot. , the food is also good, and she actually asked the kitchen to add such good dishes to her!" Er Dong was really angry, and she also blamed her for not opening the box to take a look, these two maids have only been here for a few months, How do you know so much.

"Sister Er Dong, I was wrong. I really don't know what they think. I won't do this in the future. Don't be angry. I didn't mean to harm Miss." Xi Qiu hurriedly pulled Er Dong with such eyes. Dong's hand started to cry, she just thought those in the kitchen were really trying to curry favor with Miss.

"I know that none of you intend to harm Miss, but there are too many people in this mansion who don't want to see other people's good, you have to remember in the future, but if others do this again, don't bother, do what you should do, don't let others I made a mistake." Er Dong helped her up, "As long as you are wholeheartedly for Miss, Miss will not treat you badly."

Xi Qiu and An Xia immediately nodded, and Er Dong led them away kindly. After they left, Qing Ya appeared from the corridor with an approving smile on her face. Madam is right, Qi Miss is actually smart, she is a master who can endure, and one of the eight or nine-year-old maids under her command knows this trick to win people's hearts...

In the evening, the scent of chrysanthemums in Gu's kitchen blocked Er Dong's way, looked at the food box in her hand and smiled lightly, "Sister Er Dong, you still carry the food box for Miss Seven, that's right, now Madam is taking Sister Qing Ya I gave it to Miss Qi, sister Er Dong, you probably have to stand back a bit."

"It's over? Let it go when you're done." Er Dong glanced at her lightly, and just as soon as Ju Xiang took a step, she took a step towards her, "Don't worry, Elder Sister Er Dong."

"Let me think about how many years Elder Sister Er Dong has served Miss Seven. It has been three years, and now a Qing Ya has come and snatched your position. Elder Sister Er Dong, you are still so willing to do things for Miss." Ju Xiang stretched out her hand Wanting to get the food box in her hand, Er Dong dodged it and scolded, "Ju Xiang, it's better for you to stop talking about such gossips, let people listen, you can bear the madam's criticism! "

"Sister, don't worry, Ju Xiang just wants to tell my sister that if you are wronged, even if you are with my sister, after all, we have been sisters for more than a year. It’s about my sister.” Ju Xiang suddenly approached Er Dong, and whispered in her ear, “I won’t be disappointed if I change my master and sister.”

Er Dong looked at the figure of Ju Xiang walking away, holding the handle of the food box tightly with both hands, and there was nothing unusual on his face, when suddenly the figure of Guan's mother came from behind, "Isn't this Miss Er Dong, why do you have to bother me?" Come get it for Miss Seven in person."

Er Dong turned to look at Guan's mother with a smile on his face, "Yesterday, Xi Qiu was ignorant. The ladies' food was all ordered, and she even gave it to the lady by mistake, and the lady scolded her. This is a wrong meal." It's causing trouble to the kitchen, so from now on, it's better for me to get it." Er Dong followed Mama Guan into the kitchen, and saw that what Miss Seven had prepared was really the same as what Xi Qiu got yesterday.

"Did Mama Guan remember wrongly? Which yard is this lunch? It's all in our lady's place. No wonder Xi Qiu made a mistake yesterday."

"That's right, doesn't Miss Seven want to eat some good food to replenish her body?" Mama Guan reached out to help put the plate into the food box, but Er Dong stopped her, "Mama Guan still doesn't want to make fun of Er Dong Well, this madam didn't give any instructions, she didn't want to make it difficult for our young lady."

"Ms. Guan's kindness is appreciated, and please ask my mother to bring the lady's." Er Dong's voice gradually became colder, and Mrs. Guan took away the food and replaced it with the previous one, and Er Dong smiled and let it go. She went in, "That's right, Mama Guan is also true, don't make a mistake next time."
