Aunt Chen looked left and right, wishing she could grow a few more heads and reflect everything in her head.
The woman in charge didn't laugh at her. She remembered that when she first came to Jinling, Jinling was not as prosperous as it is now. Wasn't she also shocked?
The development of Jinling is really too fast. It has changed even if it hasn't been seen for a few years.
The carriage passed through the spacious avenue and drove into Yao Mansion without delay.
As soon as Aunt Chen entered the mansion, she gave Gu Qingling a big gift: "I have met the old lady. My concubine Chen greeted her. I wish her good fortune as the East China Sea and a long life as the South Mountain... Old lady, I haven't seen you for a few years. You are really getting younger and younger. You are really good at maintaining your face."
Aunt Chen did not exaggerate this sentence.
Before they separated a few years ago, Gu Qingling only looked younger than her and Aunt Zhang, but after a few years, she and Gu Qingling became "two generations".
If she hadn't been sure that the person sitting in the head had not changed, Aunt Chen would have thought that she would have met her daughter who was the same mold as Gu Qingling.
"Get up." Gu Qingling said with a faint expression, "On the way here, did the old lady tell you?"
"Well, I've said it all. Old Lady, don't worry, the little concubine will definitely look at the little lady Qiao and will not let her cause trouble for you."
"It's not that I won't cause trouble for me, it's that I won't cause trouble for the Yao family, or for Sanlang." Gu Qingling said, "Now that Sanlang has won the exam and become a county magistrate, he will become an official. As long as he does well, he will achieve results in three or five years, he will have his own day to make progress in the future. The road ahead has been paved for him, and your task is to show his back. Don't let anyone drag him down. You can also be an old lady..."
"I dare not say "Old Madam". In front of you, I am a slave." If I were not in front of Gu Qingling, Aunt Chen would certainly want to play with the majesty of "Old Madam".
But just now, Aunt Chen didn't dare to touch Gu Qingling's brow, so she was naturally very careful.
How could Gu Qingling not understand Aunt Chen?
The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.
It is impossible to make Aunt Chen "low-key". Of course, you can draw a series of tricks for Aunt Chen to let her know what can be done and what can't be done.
Gu Qingling said, "Do you believe what you said? Don't worry, you may be able to separate the family more. At that time, you will naturally be the one who decides the three houses. If they are separated, they will be the one who calls you "Old Lady". That's also true. As for me, I don't have so many other things, and I will care about the illegitimate son who has split the family."
"Old lady, look at what you said... Saburo was trained by you personally. Otherwise, you would have trained yourself with good intentions and personally, how could Saburo have today's achievements? The fact that he can achieve today's achievements is all your contribution to your old lady. No matter when the time comes, even if the family is separated, Saburo will have to call you "Old lady, be filial to you. How can you compare with you? In front of you, the little concubine has to stand next to you."
"Okay, you're tired all the way, so go back to the yard to rest early. There are a few people who serve you there. If you can't use it, you can go to the ward to choose it yourself. Our ward is also famous in Jinling. Many people like to send their servants to the Yao family's ward to the Yao family's ward to train, saying that it would be better to use it when you come here for a while before going back. Of course, everyone's usage habits are different, and the direction of the training will be slightly different. If you don't come back for a few years, it's normal for the servants to not understand your preferences. If you tell them a few more times, they will understand."
"Yes, old lady, don't worry, the person you choose will definitely be easy to use. If you don't choose, just use it. That little lady won't disturb the old lady. After you finish your clothes, you will come to pay your respects to the old lady."
After taking the leave, the expression on Aunt Chen's face was not as dazed.
Is she... back?
He pinched his thighs hard, and bit her teeth and cracked her mouth.
The maid who led the way had changed. When he arrived in the yard, a servant in charge brought everyone forward to salute and introduced himself to Aunt Chen.
"Your name is Winter? You're Winter?" Old Aunt Chen was happy when he heard two very easy-to-remember names, "Okay, then you two will follow me to serve you. I've been on the way for a day and I'm tired. I'll send some delicious food first."
"Yes, old lady."
...
There was not much noise when Aunt Chen returned, so only Mrs. Yao, who was responsible for the common affairs, was greeted by Gu Qingling in advance.
Therefore, not long after Aunt Chen came back, Mrs. Yao sent Qiuhe, the eldest maid next to her, to send some meeting gifts, and to express her joy.
Mrs. Yao Er also knew Aunt Chen and did not give her any valuable things, but chose gold, silver and soft.
Aunt Chen is from a poor family and is a vulgar man. He has no other hobbies, but he loves gold, silver, and fines.
Mrs. Yao's second wife gave this move to her heart.
Aunt Chen said to the maid beside her: "Did you see it? This is a smart person. No wonder the old lady is biased towards the second wife. If I had such a caring daughter-in-law, I would be biased towards it. Speaking of my depressed daughter-in-law, did she come to ask me if she had a gift?"
The woman in charge of the Lu Zhou family lowered her body slightly: "It's all my fault when I go back to the old lady. I haven't told the third lady that you are back yet, so the third lady probably doesn't know."
Aunt Chen rolled her eyes: "She wished I would never come back in my life. I want to come back, and she still has a peaceful life? No wonder I said I have been back for so long, why is the backyard so straight? It turns out that she doesn't know... If she knew, she would have jumped up long ago."
Aunt Chen doesn't know much about this daughter-in-law who bullies the weak and is like a soft bun.
She has always disliked this daughter-in-law, isn't it because of this?
"I heard that my son has an aunt who is pregnant? Is it true or false?"
"It's true when I go back to the old lady. This aunt used to be the eldest maid next to the third lady, but later..."
Aunt Chen felt a little incredible when she heard Mrs. Yao San’s promise that anyone who is pregnant would be promoted to her aunt. Later, Mrs. Yao San regretted it and wanted to lose her baby grandson, but it was the old lady Gu Qingling who took the initiative to protect her.
"There is another thing, I don't know whether to talk about it." The Lu Zhou family, the manager, looked carefully at the expression of Aunt Chen.
"What's up?"
The manager Lu Zhou family said, "Actually... the old lady has indeed lost a maid's child."
Then he told the story of a maid who had climbed into the bed, angering the old lady, making the old lady feel that it was unruly, so he let the child go away and told the story of selling people.
Aunt Chen was silent for a while.
If she followed her previous personality, she would definitely be furious when she heard that the old lady Gu Qingling had lost her grandson without saying a word.
She didn't care whether the maid was climbing the bed or not. She didn't care about the maid, she cared about the child in the maid's belly.
But the woman in charge said that the reason why the old lady was exiled was for "rules" - to let everyone understand that everyone is equal in the face of "rules", and even if the child with the master is born, it is no exception.
