Ji Lan was stunned. Although she didn't understand why Han Yan said this, she nodded and stepped down. Chen's mother hesitated for a while and asked, "Miss said this, if the girl was heard by the broken mouth..."

"Don't worry, Mom." Han Yan stretched out her hand and placed it on the stove, narrowing her eyes comfortably: "The master was willing to give her a thumbs up. Aunt Mei should know about this sooner or later. Now she knows that she can prepare now. Ji Lan is a sensible person and will not tell the people in the other yard. Aunt Mei knows about this, and she doesn't even need to hide it. How could she tell her everywhere?"

Mother Chen was slightly stunned and understood. She sighed that this was not a way to think of by a twelve-year-old girl. She was so smart, and she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a disaster. She always felt that the girl had become very different since she woke up this time. Zhou entered the mansion and everything looked calm, but she was afraid that the weather would change.

Early in the morning, Han Yan got up to dress up under Ji Lanshuhong's service. After choosing for a long time, Han Yan pointed to a plain-colored, wide-skinned skirt and said, "Just that one."

Ji Lan said: "Miss, although it is still a filial period now, it is too simple. If the Zhou family just entered the door, if they dressed so simply, they would be looked down upon by them."

Han Yan shook her head: "We are not the protagonists of the opera today, and I don't like those bright ones. It's best to make them crazy, it's better to look down on us. The lower you watch now, the worse you will lose in the future."

Shuhong silently found a small jacket with a light moonlight for her and said, "Although that's what it means, it's better to wear warmer when it's windy outside."

Ji Lan began to comb her hair again, and Han Yan asked her to comb a maid's bun that was exactly the same as before. The two round hair balls made her look even more childish. Ji Lan wrapped her hair with the same color, without any ornaments. Looking at the girl in the mirror, she was already developing a little late, and when she dressed up like this, she was just like a little baby.

"Let's go." Han Yan tidied up her skirt and asked her to go to the front hall with her.

Compared with other court officials, Zhuang Shiyang has never been very close to women, so over the years, there have been only one wife and two concubines in the mansion. The two concubines lived in Furong Garden far away. Aunt Wan was the girl who gave to Zhuang Shiyang when his ancestors were alive. Later, after giving birth to a daughter, he carried the aunt. Zhuang Shiyang didn't care much about this aunt, and after giving birth to a daughter, he rarely went to Aunt Wan's house. Fortunately, Aunt Wan was also a peace of mind and had never caused trouble for her mother for so many years.

But the other concubine Mei is not a simple person.

After the death of the old emperor, famine broke out in the northwest. The thousand acres of Zhuangzi under the name of the merchant immediately transported the output of that year to the northwest to relieve the disaster. The emperor was very happy and rewarded several treasures, and Aunt Mei was one of the treasures. As his name was, Mei Niang was not from the Central Plains but Hu Ji. He was beautiful and charming, and he acted even more arrogant and boldly. Since Aunt Mei entered the mansion, Han Yan and his mother had not lived a good life.

Even if Zhuang Shiyang is so beautiful, even if he is a saint, he has taken some thoughts. Moreover, Hu Ji has always attracted many ways to attract men. Since Mei Niang entered the mansion, Zhuang Shiyang has neglected his wife and Wan Niang and rested in Mei Niang's house every night.

Although Zhuang Shiyang did not like to spoil his concubine and killed his wife, he respected his mother on the surface. Unfortunately, the man has always ignored the affairs of the inner courtyard. Aunt Mei was very concerned and did not directly compete for favor. Instead, he provoked a conflict between the servants of the inner courtyard and his mother. His mother was cowardly by nature and was embarrassed when encountering problems. He gave Aunt Mei a chance. Soon after, the servants spread the saying that his mother was not good at managing the family.

Aunt Mei said this simply because she wanted to rely on Zhuang Shiyang's favor to force her mother to the point of public criticism. It would be better for Zhuang Shiyang to divorce her wife, so she could take over the position of mistress. However, once, Aunt Mei had a conflict with her mother, and that time she did a little too much. Zhuang Shiyang was furious and brought Aunt Mei to the ancestral hall to teach her a lesson. From then on, Aunt Mei became much more content, or she no longer had the position of mistress, and she was only devoted to dominating Zhuang Shiyang. Although she still didn't take her mother and Han Yan seriously, she did not deliberately find fault.

Han Yan felt that this Aunt Mei was not afraid of Zhuang Shiyang, but rather that she could see that the position of the mistress was a void. Her mother occupied the position of the main house, but her status was not as good as that of the concubine. There were three women in the backyard, and the rest of the two were not threatened at all. Aunt Mei might think it was boring.

But seeing Zhuang Shiyang so deserted, he actually raised an outdoor room, and the daughter from the outdoor room was so old?

With Zhuang Shiyang's cold-hearted personality, I'm afraid this woman occupies an extremely important position in his heart. So after his mother passed away, she couldn't wait to bring her into the mansion.

Han Yan didn't understand why Zhuang Shiyang had to wait until now to let Zhou enter the mansion. You should know that his mother is a gentle person. If Zhuang Shiyang had welcomed Zhou into the mansion earlier, his mother would definitely have granted her. She kept her outside and was hidden. Why is this? What's the mystery in this?

Before finding out about Zhou's background, the mansion had prepared a good show. Aunt Mei had never encountered such a strong opponent in so many years, and this opponent was watching the position of mistress she was determined to win. The curtain was opened and the good show was about to begin.

Han Yan thought about it and raised the corner of her mouth, which made Ji Lan stunned.

When I arrived at the main house, the kitchen had already prepared the meal. Han Yan glanced at the table, crystal shrimp dumplings, red date bird's nest, jasper porridge, hibiscus crispy, and a few plates of side dishes that were indescribable.

Han Yan sneered in her heart, What a sumptuous breakfast! Since her mother passed away, she shed tears all day long and stopped going to the main house to eat with her two aunts. The food that brought to Qingqiuyuan in the small kitchen was just a side dish, which was extremely simple. She didn't know that the food outside was unique! Aunt Laiwan was never a picky person. Such dishes should be made by Aunt Mei instructed the kitchen.

Ji Lan served her to sit down. As soon as she sat down, she saw Aunt Mei and Aunt Wan entering the house.

When Aunt Mei saw Han Yan, she was stunned at first, then covered her lips and smiled, "Miss Four is here. It seems that she has recovered from the disease, but why does her face look so bad? Don't force it."

Aunt Wan stood quietly aside, but the third lady Zhuang Qin, behind her, looked at Han Yan quickly and lowered her head.

The third lady had a very shallow relationship with Han Yan, and she could even be considered a stranger. Zhuang Qin and Aunt Wan stayed in Furong Garden for embroidery all day, and they didn't meet each other very much.

Han Yan was still thinking, feeling that Shuhong behind her pulled her sleeves without any trace. When she looked up, she saw Zhuang Shiyang walking towards the side with her mother and daughter, and smiled on her face: "Auntie Xie cares. In fact, Yan'er is still a little uncomfortable. It's just that today is the first breakfast that Auntie Zhou has entered the mansion. My father told me not to neglect it."
