The Reborn Noble Girl is Hard to Find

Chapter 13 The Snipe and the Clam

Ji Lan was stunned for a moment, although she didn't understand why Han Yan said that, she nodded and retreated. Mother Chen hesitated for a while, then asked: "Miss said so, in case the slander is passed to the master's ears..."

"Don't worry, mom." Han Yan stretched out his hand and put it on top of the stove, narrowing his eyes comfortably: "The master already wanted to praise her, and Aunt Mei will know about it sooner or later. Now that you know, you can make preparations now. Ji Lan is a If you are sensible, you will not tell people in other courtyards. Aunt Mei knows about this, and she is not in a hurry to hide it, so why would she tell everyone?"

Chen's mother was slightly startled and understood. I lamented that this was something a twelve-year-old girl came up with, but she was so smart, she didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse. I always feel that the girl has become very different since she woke up this time. When the Zhou family entered the mansion, everything looked calm, but I'm afraid things will change soon.

Early in the morning, Han Yan gets up to make up under the service of Ji Lan Shuhong. After choosing for a long time, Han Yan pointed to a plain long skirt with wide swing: "Just that one."

Ji Lan wondered: "Miss, even though it's still the period of filial piety, it's too plain. If the Zhou family just came in, if they dressed so plainly, I'm afraid they would look down on them."

Hanyan shook her head: "We are not the main characters in the show today, and I don't like those bright ones either. It's best to let them go crazy and look down on us. The lower you look down now, the worse you will fail in the future .”

Shu Hong silently found a little jacket in the light of the moon for her, and said: "Even so, it's windy outside, Miss, you'd better dress warmly."

Ji Lan started busy combing her hair again, and Han Yan let her do a maid bun that was the same as before, and the two round hair buns made her even more childish. Ji Lan tied her hair with a hair tie of the same color, without any accessories. Looking at the girl in the mirror, she was a little late in development, so she was dressed like a little doll.

"Let's go." Han Yan straightened her skirt and beckoned her mother to go to the front hall with her.

Compared with other courtiers, Zhuang Shiyang has never been very close to women, so for so many years, there are only one wife and two concubines in the family. The two aunts lived far away in Furongyuan. Aunt Wan was the housekeeper given to Zhuang Shiyang by the ancestor when he was alive. Later, after giving birth to a daughter, he took care of the aunt. Zhuang Shiyang didn't care much about this aunt, and after giving birth to his daughter, he rarely entered Aunt Wan's house. Fortunately, Auntie Wan is also a law-abiding person, she has never caused trouble to her mother for so many years.

But the other Aunt Mei is not a simple master anymore.

After the death of the first emperor, there was a famine in the northwest, and Zhuangzi Qianmu under the name of the farmer immediately transported the output of that year to the northwest to alleviate the disaster. The emperor was overjoyed, so he rewarded several treasures, and Aunt Mei was one of them. As the name suggests, Aunt Mei is not from the Central Plains but Hu Ji. She is beautiful and charming, and her actions are even more arrogant and bold. Ever since Aunt Mei entered the mansion, Han Yan and her mother have not had a good life.

With Aunt Mei's beauty, even if Zhuang Shiyang was a saint, he had to think about it. Besides, Orchid has always had many ways to attract men. Since Aunt Mei came into the mansion, Zhuang Shiyang even neglected his wife and Aunt Wan, resting in Aunt Mei's house every night.

Although Zhuang Shiyang said he would not spoil his concubine and kill his wife, he also respected his mother on the surface, but unfortunately, the man never cared about the affairs of the inner court, and Aunt Mei Mei was very thoughtful, so she did not directly compete for favor, but provoked conflicts between the servants of the inner court and her mother , Mother is cowardly by nature, and is in a difficult situation. Aunt Mei was given a chance, and not long after, the servants spread the rumor that my mother was not doing enough to manage the house.

Aunt Mei said that because she wanted to take advantage of Zhuang Shiyang's favor and push her mother into a target of public criticism. It would be best for Zhuang Shiyang to divorce his wife, so that she could take over the position of mistress. But there was a conflict between Aunt Mei and her mother once, and she went too far that time, Zhuang Shiyang was furious, and took Aunt Mei to the ancestral hall to teach her a lesson. Since then, Aunt Mei has settled down a lot, or no longer Xiao wanted to be the mistress, and only wanted to dominate Zhuang Shiyang wholeheartedly. Although she still doesn't take Niangqin and Hanyan seriously, she didn't deliberately find fault.

Han Yan felt that this Aunt Mei was not so much frightened by Zhuang Shiyang as she saw that the position of mistress was false. The mother occupies the position of the main house, but the position is not as good as that of the concubine. There are three women in the backyard, and the other two are not threatening at all, so Aunt Mei probably finds it boring.

But looking at such a deserted Zhuang Shiyang, he actually raised an outside room, and the daughter born in the outside room is so old?

With Zhuang Shiyang's indifferent temperament, I'm afraid this woman occupies an extremely important place in his heart. So after my mother passed away, I couldn't wait to bring her into the mansion.

Han Yan didn't understand why Zhuang Shiyang waited until now to let the Zhou family enter the mansion. You must know that mother has a gentle temperament, if Zhuang Shiyang welcomed the Zhou family into the mansion earlier, mother would definitely agree. It has been kept outside and hidden, why? What is the mystery in this?

Before finding out the details of the Zhou family, the mansion had already prepared a good show. Aunt Mei has never encountered such a strong opponent in so many years, and this opponent is spying on the position of mistress she is determined to win. The curtain is drawn, and the show is about to begin.

Han Yan raised the corners of his mouth as he thought about it, Ji Lan was taken aback.

Arriving at the main house, the small kitchen has already prepared meals, Han Yan glanced at the table, crystal shrimp dumplings, bird's nest with red dates, jasper porridge, hibiscus crisps, and several unnamed side dishes.

Han Yan sneered in his heart, what a hearty breakfast! Since her mother died, she wept all day long, so she stopped going to the main house to eat with her two aunts. And the food brought to Qingqiu Court in the small kitchen is just porridge and side dishes, which is extremely simple. What she didn't know was that the food outside was so unique! Aunt Wan has always been not a picky owner, such dishes should be prepared by Aunt Mei instructing the kitchen.

Ji Lan waited for her to sit down, just as she sat down, Aunt Mei and Aunt Wan entered the room.

Seeing Han Yan, Aunt Mei was taken aback for a moment, then covered her lips and smiled: "Miss Si is here, it seems that her illness is cured, but why does her complexion look so bad? Don't force it."

Aunt Wan stood quietly at the side, but the third lady behind her, Zhuang Qin, took a quick look at Han Yan, then lowered her head again.

This third lady has very little friendship with Han Yan, and they can even be regarded as strangers. Zhuang Qin and Aunt Wan stayed in the Furong Garden doing embroidery all day long, and they didn't see each other very much.

Han Yan was still thinking about it, and felt that Shu Hong behind her was tugging on her sleeve without showing any traces, and when she looked up, she saw Zhuang Shiyang walking towards this side with Zhou's mother and daughter, with a smile on her face: " Aunt Xie is concerned, in fact Yan'er is still feeling unwell, but today is Aunt Zhou's first breakfast in the mansion, and my father told me not to neglect it."

Aunt Mei's expression changed, and when she saw the three of Zhuang Shiyang, she tightened the brocade handkerchief in her hand. I thought that after the death of Mrs. Wang, the position of the main house would fall on me, but I didn't expect Mrs. Zhou to rush out halfway. What's even more hateful is that the master still treats that bitch so differently.
