"Sure enough, I grew up in the country. Look at this little arm and calf, and I don't have a pound or two of meat. When I pushed it out, I thought it was a kid." It turned out to be Aunt Santang with eyes higher than the top. She couldn't help sneering. She couldn't get enough to eat three meals in Maocun.
Aunt Santang was also Mrs. Wang. Her sharp sneer was immediately recognized by everyone. Chu Qingyan frowned, not understanding why these people kept their eyes on her.
"Forget it, after all, it's a girl from the Chu family, something is better than nothing." Madam Chu spoke at this time, her eyes flashing fiercely.
"Mother is right, it's good if someone comes." The second aunt, Mrs. Xing, also said with a smile at this time.
"Although it's a little shabby and looks a little bit shabby, but as long as you stay in our Chu family for two days, you can still go out to meet people, and mother and father can feel at ease." Mrs. Wang is like picking vegetables in a vegetable market, picking from three to four. He said, as if Chu Qingyan was really hard to see.
In fact, it is not. Although Chu Qingyan is a little thinner, her appearance is still not bad. Madam Wang, who has seen too many people, can tell at a glance that Chu Qingyan is still a beautiful embryo. In time, she will definitely overshadow her daughters. That's why Mrs. Wang can't see each other's good, so she often tramples to death.
Chu Qingyan had become accustomed to this family's lip-smacking skills just now, but it was difficult for her own mother, seeing her own daughter being judged like this, but she couldn't refute it, her face was very ugly.
"I've seen them before, ma'am, you are in charge of arranging their accommodation. I have a painting left before I finish my appreciation." Mrs. Chu didn't look at Chu Qingyan and his group, and left on her own.
After Mrs. Chu left, Mrs. Chu looked at them sternly, and said to Mrs. Xing, "My mother is a little tired from the second family, so it's up to you to arrange it!"
"Yes." Madam Xing responded immediately.
So Mrs. Chu Shi Shiran also left.
After the two elders left, the second master Chu patted his sleeves, got up and left, and the third master Chu and Mrs. Wang followed with their chins raised, while the fourth master Chu Zhizhi and his wife Mrs. Lin, who had been stunned, also left. .
As a result, the small main hall was suddenly empty, leaving only Madam Xing and Chu Qingyan's family of three.
Chu Qingyan looked at the empty main hall in a blink of an eye, raised her eyebrows secretly, seeing the attitude of everyone just now, she couldn't feel welcome at all, on the contrary, there was an evil inside and outside the words! The meeting seems to be just a passing scene.
As if there was some premeditated plan!
Although Chu Qingyan usually doesn't care about many things, her intuition has never gone wrong, so she immediately tightened her nerves and raised her vigilance, and turned her eyes to the only one who was still in the hall. .
Mrs. Xing was still smiling at Mother Chu and said, "You guys are running all the way, and you are tired after thinking about it. Let me have someone take you to rest first!"
Without waiting for Mother Chu to speak, Madam Xing had turned her head and said to the eldest maid by her side, "In the early spring, take the eldest master, the eldest lady and the ninth miss to rest!"
"Yes, ma'am." Bao Chun led the order to salute them, and then led them out of the main hall.
So Chu Qingyan and the others followed Baochun to their room.
When I walked out of the main hall, someone was already waiting there, it was the maid, Camellia, who had passed away before. Baochun said to the mountain tea ceremony, "Shan Cha, you take Miss Jiu to the east wing, and I will take the eldest master and the eldest lady to the west wing."
Hearing that, Chu Qingyan immediately stood up and asked, "It means that my parents and I are going to be separated, isn't the room together?"
Baochun glanced at her, "The old lady has already instructed before that Miss Jiu is ten years old and should avoid suspicion, so the rooms are not arranged together."
"But..." Chu Qingyan wanted to say something, but was stopped by her mother, who only saw her whispering to her, "Be obedient first, and don't start a conflict."
Chu Qingyan couldn't help but shut up obediently, while Baochun raised her eyebrows sarcastically at her, then turned around and left with Mother Chu and Father Chu.
At this time, Shan Cha had already said to her, "Miss Jiu, please come with the servant."
Mother and father have gone far away, so she can only follow Camellia.
Although it was vaguely felt that the Chu family wanted to separate their family of three, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, she still sorted out the current situation before making plans.
Shan Cha looked back at Miss Jiu, who was following her quietly, and couldn't help but wonder, didn't this Miss Jiu come from the countryside? How is it not similar at all? Wenwen is quiet, and there is an indescribable calmness, even the young ladies in the house do not have the tranquility that exudes from her.
However, thinking of the second lady's intention to take over Miss Jiu's family, Shan Cha turned to sympathy for this Miss Jiu.
Although she walked quietly behind, it didn't mean that the expression on Shan Cha's face escaped her eyes. Maybe it was because she was still young, so Shan Cha did not hide her emotions from her, so she clearly saw her feelings on Shan Cha. mercy.
Strange, why pity? She just hasn't had a good life for ten years, but that doesn't mean she wants to be sympathized by the subordinates
Recalling the cold treatment of her parents just now, more attention was placed on her. She was a child less than two months old when she left.
And now even the maid has sympathy for her, is there something unpredictable waiting for her
Just when she was thinking wildly, Shan Cha had stopped and said to her, "Miss Jiu is here, this is where you will live from now on."
Chu Qingyan raised her head abruptly, the complicated thoughts in her eyes faded away, and she returned to her smiling face, and then nodded to Shan Cha, "En."
The penetrating wisdom that flashed in her eyes just now made Shan Cha startled. In the blink of an eye, she saw Miss Jiu looking at her with a calm expression on her face. Shan Cha thought it was her eyesore, and hurriedly opened the door and took someone away. go in.
Chu Qingyan looked at the room. Although it wasn't big, it was much better than the room she lived in Maocun before, and someone should have cleaned it before. The room was fairly tidy and clean.
"Miss Ninth, the second lady asked the servants to serve you temporarily, and a new servant will be sent over in a few days." Shan Cha smiled at her.
She was only the same age as her, but she had already learned to serve others. Chu Qingyan couldn't help but sigh that this was the ancient society of monarchical power, and the people at the bottom had no freedom and human rights.
Chu Qingyan nodded, indicating that she knew. She put the burden in her hand on the table, and Shan Cha immediately took it over with a wink, and then said, "Miss Jiu, let this servant help you sort it out."
She wanted to refuse, but she thought about it and let her go.
When Shan Cha was unpacking and tidying up, Chu Qingyan stood up and walked around the room.
"Miss, do you want tea?" Shan Cha asked with a smile.
At the mention of Camellia, Chu Qingyan really felt a little thirsty, and said, "Okay."
So Shan Cha picked up the teacup and started pouring tea.
Chu Qingyan approached the table, watched Shan Cha roll her eyes, and suddenly asked, "Shan Cha, do you know what happened to the Chu family recently?"
As soon as the words fell, the tea cup that Camellia had just held fell on the table with a bang.
