After hearing this, Aunt Li wanted to teach her niece a few more words, but before she could speak, she heard faint voices outside and the sound of footsteps coming all the way to the main room. The aunt and nephew immediately stopped talking.

After a while, a young woman's voice sounded outside: "Mother Li, are you awake?"

Aunt Li's voice was filled with enthusiasm: "Hey, isn't this Miss Chunxiang? Why are you here now? Have you eaten?"

Chunxiang's voice sounded young, but when she spoke to the third wife's steward, Grandma Li, she was not as submissive as Chunxiao. Her tone sounded like she was overpowering Grandma Li: "Oh, the masters haven't eaten yet.

How can we slaves eat it first?"

Aunt Li didn't care after hearing this. Instead, she smiled and said to Chunxiao: "Why don't you go bring some snacks and let Miss Chunxiang put her on the table first?"

Chunxiang interrupted ungratefully: "Stop working, do I still lack those snacks? Madam Tai asked me to come over and see if the eldest girl is awake. If she is, come with me to Fushouyuan."

Chunxiao interjected in a low voice: "The eldest lady's fever just subsided yesterday. The doctor said it's best to keep her healthy for a few more days."

Chunxiang's voice was obviously displeased: "Madam Tai ordered all the masters in the house to go to the Fushou Yuan. Even the eighth young master, who was only three months old, was carried there by the wet nurse. Since the eldest girl's illness has been cured,

Of course I shouldn’t be absent.”

Aunt Li slapped Chunxiao hard and said sternly: "Go and find some clothes for the big girl to go out!" She smiled and said to Chunxiang, "The little girl is ignorant, I will discipline her well when I get back.

I'm going to see if the eldest girl has woken up."

Chunxiang hurried back to resume her life, and didn't say anything else. She just said "hmm" lightly.

He Linwan closed his eyes again before Nanny Li came in. Nanny Li walked to the bed and called in a low voice: "Big girl? Big girl?"

He Linwan didn't move. She felt that Nanny Li was getting closer. She gently helped her cover the thin quilt that had been lifted, and then sighed and turned to leave.

However, He Linwan moved and slowly opened his eyes.

When Grandma Li heard the noise, she immediately turned her head and came over happily: "Big girl?"

He Linwan rubbed his eyes and glanced at Nanny Li in confusion.

Nanny Li turned her head and looked outside, then whispered into He Linwan's ear: "Miss, Madam, the lady asked all the masters in the house to go to the Fushou Yuan. Do you feel better? If you still do

If you feel uncomfortable, I will tell you that your illness is not cured yet and ask someone to call a doctor."

He Linwan's voice was still hoarse as he had just woken up: "Did the Madam send someone here? I just seemed to hear someone talking outside."

"It's Chunxiang from Mrs. Tai's yard." Nanny Li whispered.

It happened that at this time Chunxiang was a little impatient with the waiting, so she came over and said through the curtain: "Mother Li? Are you awake?"

Aunt Li looked at He Linwan hesitantly.

He Linwan frowned, thinking how could the maid in Mrs. He's room be so unruly?

But then He Linwan felt relieved when he thought of the origin of the old Mrs. Cheng'enhou.

The Yang family where He Linwan lived in his previous life was a completely different family from the He family. The family, which had lasted for hundreds of years, was very strict but relatively tolerant towards the upbringing of the women in the family. Yang Weizhen began to follow her mother and elders at the age of five.

My sister is literate. She was favored by her grandfather because she was smart and had a photographic memory since she was a child. She was allowed to study with several cousins ​​by his grandfather.

When she was young, Yang Weizhen was proud and impetuous for a while, because no matter what she learned, she learned faster and better than several brothers in her family. Even her fifth brother, who was the most knowledgeable in the family, was not as popular as her.

Until her grandmother called her over and warned her lovingly and sternly that the purpose of women's study and that of men's study are different. Men study for the sake of their future, but women study for the sake of understanding. So she does not need to compete with those brothers who are boys.

They were competing for victory, and what she should learn was another kind of decision-making in killing without blood.

However, her grandmother did not stop Yang Weizhen from continuing to study with her grandfather, but since then she has personally taught her the knowledge that she should learn as a legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family, which includes the lineage of various aristocratic families in the Central Plains for the past three hundred years.

Yang Weizhen has been able to memorize the entire genealogy of the old and new families of the Zhou Dynasty since she was ten years old. Her grandmother and mother like to take her with them during festivals and festivals because she will not misremember the intricate interpersonal relationships of any large or small family.

.

So Yang Weizhen naturally knew the origin of the He family.

Like most generals who followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the country and gained titles based on their military merits, the old Cheng'enhou He Yong came from a very ordinary background. The ancestors of the He family were farmers.

The origins of Mrs. Cao, the Marquis of Chengen, and He Yong, the Marquis of Chengen, were considered to be of the same family. The Cao family and the He family were from the same hometown. He Yong and Cao's brother Cao Sheng once farmed land for the same family. Later, the two

They joined the army together, and Cao Sheng became He Yong's subordinate. One year later, Cao Sheng died on the battlefield. He Yong married Cao Sheng's biological sister. Cao Sheng's only son, Cao Fei, was promoted to the fourth grade under the guidance of He Yong.

General Pin Xuanwei.

Since Yang Weizhen became He Linwan, he has not seen the old Mrs. Cheng'enhou, and has only seen it a little bit. Judging from the words and deeds of the old Mrs. Hou's maid, He Linwan is quite dissatisfied with the rules of the old Mrs. Hou.

.

"Let someone come in and help you freshen up." He Linwan nodded to Grandma Li.

A little worried, Nanny Li put the back of her hand against He Linwan's forehead. When she saw that there was indeed no fever, she left. After a while, she brought in a few maids holding copper basins and cloth towels.

The maid named Chunxiang opened the curtain and looked into the room, wanting to urge the maids to hurry up, but she couldn't help but froze when she saw He Linwan.

Everyone in the He family said that the eldest girl was rude and rude, but Chunxiang looked at the eldest girl who was being washed by the maid, and felt that even the action of spitting mouthwash into the spittoon, the eldest girl looked very good-looking when she did it.

For some reason, Chunxiang touched her nose and quietly lowered the curtain.

When Chunxiao was combing He Linwan's hair, He Linwan took a few glances into the bronze mirror. The ten-year-old He Linwan's facial features had not yet opened up. His nose and mouth were like his mother Wei's, small and delicate. His eyes were a little bit...

Her round eyes made her look a little childish. Looking at those eyes, He Linwan couldn't help but be slightly startled. For some reason, she felt that the eyes of the person in the mirror were somewhat similar to her in the previous life.

A third-class maid found a box of fragrant powder and said flatteringly: "Miss, this is the new fragrant powder that was introduced in the house a few days ago. I heard that it contains fine pearl powder. After rubbing it, the skin will be crystal clear and the complexion will be like

Snow, do you want to try it?"

Chunxiao, who was putting a beaded flower on He Linwan's face, changed her face and scolded the maid: "Where did you come from, this idiot who doesn't have eyesight! Get out of here!"

While scolding, Chunxiao secretly looked at He Linwan, fearing that the little ancestor would fall out.

He Linwan is not ugly, but I don’t know if it is because she has liked to play outside since she was a child. Her skin is a bit dark, and she looks a bit unsightly when standing with other girls in the family. Although Miss He is not

Why does she care about her appearance? But what she hates most is people saying she is inferior to others.

Once upon a time, that mean-spirited bitch said that the eldest, second and third maids were standing together and were less conspicuous than a third-class maid. As a result, the eldest girl was furious and went to the house together with the third and fifth young masters.

The woman threw poisonous rats and insects on the kang for a month, and finally even put a highly poisonous green bamboo leaf on the bed, which frightened the woman so much that she became seriously ill and hid in the village, not daring to come back.

Although the eldest girl was severely punished later, the ordinary maids and women in the house also knew how powerful the eldest girl was and did not dare to provoke her easily.

The little maid who had caused trouble was stunned, and then immediately knelt down crying: "Big girl, please forgive me, big girl, please forgive me..."

He Linwan glanced at the maid inexplicably and frowned: "Go down."

Her original intention was that this was just a trivial matter, and she didn't think the maid had done anything wrong, so the matter was over with.

But I didn't want the little maid who cried so much that her face was covered with tears and snot to look at He Linwan with a look of horror. Then she shook her knees and kowtowed: "No, no, no, big girl, you can punish me. You can do it."

Let me punish you, I will never dare to do it again..."

Even Chunxiao's face didn't look good. She forced a smile and begged the little maid: "Big girl, this maid is new and she is not sensible yet. If you don't like it, how about having her beaten and kicked out?"

She only has a life, so why should she dirty your hands?"

He Linwan: "..."

After a moment of silence, He Linwan suppressed the urge to twitch his forehead and said, "I heard that the day of the Bodhisattva's Enlightenment is coming soon, so it is not advisable to kill animals?"

She was originally joking, but as soon as she said it, the maids in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

Chunxiao lightly kicked the little maid, took the lead in trying to please her and said, "Young lady is so wise and powerful!"

The little maid reacted and sobbed in surprise: "Big...big girl is so wise and powerful!"

Then several maids shouted "Young girl is wise and powerful" one after another in the room.

He Linwan: "..."

Then Chunxiao asked carefully: "How will the big girl punish her?"

This was the first time that He Linwan was forced to punish someone. She glanced at the purse that the maid was wearing, and said with a helpless face, "Looks like the embroiderer is good? Please embroider two purses for me."
