Chapter 1 Winter

After a few days of snow, the white ground on the treetops of the roof was covered with frost. The light reflected from the window lattice covered with lattice paper was much brighter than usual, and there was a crystal clear brilliance in the room.

Eleventh Lady put down the Dazhou Jiuyu Zhi who had been halfway through, and opened the window to look out.

The woods outside the Lujun Tower were covered with a thick layer of snow. Occasionally, the wind blew by, and the snow pontoons resting on the tops of the boxwood fell down, revealing green leaves, which made people feel refreshed.

It turns out that Yuyao where she is located is located in the northwest of Hangzhou Prefecture, with Dadi Mountain in the southwest, Jingshan in the northwest, and Tiaoxi River in the south, which originated from Tianmu Mountain in Qian County.

Too little information

She had been to Yuyao before, but that time was on a business trip. The wife of the client hid back to her hometown in Yuyao with her children. She found Yuyao and persuaded the client's wife to give up the custody of the child. As a lawyer, she received a seven-digit reward. This was her first pot of gold in her career.

Thinking of this, Eleventh Lady couldn't help but sigh.

What's the use of these now

After three years of coming here, the farthest place she has ever been to was the second gate of the Luo Mansion's inner house to send the eldest wife of the Luo Mansion, which was her legitimate mother, Xu, to Ci'an Temple to burn incense.

What is Yuyao now like? How far is it from Hangzhou? What does it have to do with her?

Even if you know all this and see it with your own eyes, what's the use

This world is no longer that world

Eleventh Lady sighed as if she wanted to blow away everything she had before in this breath

When the maid Binju came in with hot tea and small pancakes, she saw Eleventh Lady's forehead pressing against the window frame beside her, and you opened the window again. Today there was north wind. As she said that, she placed the tea tray on the small table beside her and went up to help her. Today, she made a pancake with plum blossom filling, you can try it.

Three years ago, the body fell and fell into a coma for three months, and then lay in bed for half a year. Without the careful care of Binju and another maid, Dongqing, she would not have survived even if she had been inexplicably worn into this body.

Eleventh Lady couldn't bear to wiping her kindness, and obediently sat at the table, took the hot tea she handed over and took a sip of it.

Melting black tea, a little bee, her favorite.

Eleventh Lady's eyes couldn't help but narrowed slightly, showing a satisfied expression.

Binju looked at it, her mouth curled up, and she turned around to close the window frame.

There was a sudden thud of thudding sound coming from the upstairs. It was overhead, making people feel nervous.

Binju's face changed, she looked up at Chengchen, and was about to say something, Eleventh Lady said as if she was chanting a scripture: Tolerate her and let her avoid her and let her ignore her. In a few years, you can see her

A burst of laughter came from the door.

Eleventh Niang and Binju couldn't help but look in the sound. A girl in pink and armor was standing against the curtain with a stone green bag.

Sister Dongqing's eyes lit up. When you come back and talk, you will come up and help her carry the bag.

Dongqing is from Yu County. Her sister got married and her eldest wife gave her five days off. Today is the fourth day. Unexpectedly, she came back before noon.

Why don't you stay at home for a while and Eleventh Lady smiled, there are not many opportunities like this

What's the point of staying? Dongqing Ren Binju took over her burden: her brother married a sister-in-law and had a nephew in recent years. The family was already narrow. I went back and I had to buy a house, so it would be better not to go back.

In the past two years, Dongqing's family has been relying on her as a maid for a monthly payment. Last summer, her brother wanted to buy the land next door, but she was tight, so her sister-in-law also came to the mansion to find her, wanting her to help borrow some money.

This time, why did Binju have poured a cup of tea for holly?

At that time, Binju also borrowed five taels of silver to Holly, while Eleventh Lady made two golden hairpins and raised ten taels of silver.

Dongqing didn't answer, but just smiled and untied the burden of Binju putting on the round table: My mother made a few pairs of shoes for the lady and asked me to bring them back.

When they were talking, Dongdong upstairs kept stopping, and at this time it became more urgent, making people feel uneasy.

The three people downstairs still looked the same, as if they were sitting in the garden with the spring breeze.

This Cuihua handkerchief is for Binju. This is soybeans with sauce. For Xinma

This year, I made soybeans and soybeans again. Binju smiled when she heard this. It seems that your family has a good harvest this year and also likes to eat it. You should bring more back

Holly felt a little embarrassed.

The family was very thoughtful. Even Xin's mother, who was doing rough work in Miss Eleven's house, brought something, but she didn't even mention a word of repaying the money.

She didn't know how to explain it, but Eleventh Lady asked her with a smile: "You can thank me when you go to your mother's place."

Dongqing hurriedly said: I went there. I also met Mama Xu and gave me two cans of soybeans.

Eleventh Lady nodded with a smile and took the shoes that Holly Lady made for her and looked around: Holly, your mother's craftsmanship is really good.

Needless to say, Binju smiled and said, Sister Dongqing has obtained the true story

For some reason, Eleventh Lady remembered that when she was in college, school started after the Spring Festival. Everyone brought the specialties from their hometown to taste the sisters in the same dormitory. Only themselves are the most expensive snacks that can be bought in the city.

The expression on her face was inevitably a little sad.

Holly looked at it and couldn't help but think of what she had been worried about.

Miss Eleven, she had a little uneasy in her voice. Is it for my business?

Eleventh Lady was stunned, and after a moment, she understood what she was talking about.

Dongqing is beautiful, calm, and has good needlework. She was attracted by the mother Yao next to her, and wanted to tell her to be a wife for her nephew. However, Yao's nephew is not only a lewd person, but also likes to be a gambling person. Not to mention Eleventh Lady, even Dongqing is not even a look. A few years ago, Yao's mother came to mention Eleventh Lady. Eleventh Lady also agreed to marry Yao's mother, and that was a blessing for Dongqing. When Yao's mother left, she took the roe to the eldest lady and went to the eldest lady's place. While pounding the eldest lady's legs, she asked the eldest lady blankly: Yao's mother said that his nephew was looking at the girl in the yard, and she fell in love with Dongqing. I was with Dongqing x day, and I don't know where his nephew had seen Dongqing.

The eldest wife has been a little careless to Yao's mother since then, so this matter will naturally become ruined. But Eleventh Lady and Yao's mother and Liangzi also got together.

After a while, the eldest wife began to reuse Yao's mother again. Yao's mother's waist was thrust up and said: Look, within two years, I will want that little bitch to lie down under my nephew and let him ride it.

This unwritten rule of the wealthy family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the maid who was not worthy of her at the age of twenty will be released, so as not to go against the will of heaven.

Holly is eighteen years old this year

Eleventh Lady's biological mother, Aunt Lu, couldn't help but advise her: Why have you got a knot with a maid and a mother Yao? She is the eldest wife's house. You don't know where you will be. You can offend someone for a maid.

Thinking of this, Eleventh Lady was a little annoyed.

She didn't regret it when she stood up for Holly.

Living in a place like a woman like a Luo family compound, people will be bullied if they are kind, and they can't even protect their maids. Who will take you seriously? Besides, Holly also paid a lot for her.

She is worried about her future

The mother who is beautiful and her destiny is in the hands of the eldest wife.

If the eldest wife is just a woman who can fool her by saying a few good words, she is easy to say. But she is from a prominent family in Qiantang. Her father was appointed as the Minister of Rites. She followed her father to serve in office for half a year and raised her like a man when she was young. She married into the Luo family at the age of thirteen and the family at the age of fifteen. There were six concubines around the master. Except for the eldest wife, who was originally the close maid of the eldest wife, who gave birth to a concubine who was nine years younger than the eldest son, the other children either died prematurely or the daughter was a little nervous when she saw the eldest wife's quiet face like a Bodhisattva.

The thought flashed by, and Eleventh Lady couldn't help but look up at Chengchen above her head with a strange look.

There are three rooms and two floors of Lujun Building. On the east side of the first floor are Eleventh Niang, on the west side are Twelve Niang, and on the upper floor are Twelve Niang.

Eleventh Lady's biological mother, Aunt Lu, and Shiniang's biological mother, Aunt Yang, fought for most of her life. In the end, both aunts were dealt with by Twelveth Lady's biological mother, Aunt Lu, and Shiniang remembered that, she asked the maid to knock on the floor with a big stick, which made them uneasy.

Eleventh Lady can calm down, after all, there is a mature soul in her body. The seven-year-old Twelve Lady is as calm as her, so she must not help but look at her with admiration.

Sister Dongqing. Seeing Eleventh Lady saying nothing, the joy in the house disappeared without a single word. Binju smiled and comforted Holly. Isn’t it still two years left? Miss is so smart, and she will definitely come up with a solution in the past two years.

Holly's expression darkened, and she wanted to speak but stopped.

Eleventh Lady looked at her heart and thought of the expression when Holly came back.

Her expression was a little serious and asked: Dongqing, did Mother Yao send someone to your house to propose marriage?

Holly dropped its eyelids.

After the guess was silently confirmed, a fire broke out in Eleventh Lady's heart.

She snorted coldly, and was about to say something, when the little maid Qiuju came from outside, the sound of intentionally lifting her up: Mother Yao, it’s so heavy snow, why are you here? Come into the house and have a cup of hot tea to get away with the cold.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Binju pulled Eleventh Lady's sleeves pale: What to do

Holly's always gentle eyes also showed a little sharpness.

What a panic, Eleventh Lady stood up with a smile, and said calmly to the two of them: Dongqing, go and take out the big red robe that the eldest wife gave last time to entertain guests. Binju, go and welcome Yao's mother in.

Her calmness infected Holly and Hamaki.

The two of them promised, and were about to separate, but Mother Yao had already lifted the curtain himself and looked at the three people in the room with a smile: Miss Eleven, Grandma, please come over.
Chapter completed!
