Chapter 180
"Slave, slave, father and mother, one is from the stable and the other is from the rough."
The girl replied. Xiruo glanced at Lin Yunwan and saw that Lin Yunwan had no reaction, so she said to the girl: "Go down."
I asked seven or eight girls in succession, one girl was about thirteen years old, her hair was neatly combed, and her eyes were bright.
"what is it call?"
Lin Yunwan asked her.
"Slave Cuiqin."
Cuiqin planned to tell her life experience as soon as she came up, but she didn't expect the girl to specifically ask her name.
Lin Yunwan nodded, and Xiruo let Cuiqin continue.
Cuiqin spoke slowly but clearly, and after finishing speaking, she lowered her head and stopped looking around.
Xiruo looked at Lin Yunwan, who nodded and said, "It's her."
Cuiqin was very surprised, but still didn't dare to raise her head.
Xiruo handed over a purse and said with a smile, "Why don't you thank me, girl?"
Cuiqin took the purse with both hands and stupidly walked up to Lin Yunwan and kowtowed: "Thank you, Miss!"
Xiruo went to give Fan's mother a purse again, and gave the rest to the maid who helped in the meeting hall.
Lin Yunwan and Xiruo whispered a few words, and then ordered: "You take her back to Bixi Hall first, I will go to the old lady's class."
"yes."
Xiruo took Cuiqin back, and Lin Yunwan rushed to Aunt Fan to attend class.
"Girl is here, I will teach you something new today."
Aunt Fan took Lin Yunwan into the ear room and said, "Girl, you can choose."
In the eyes of Aunt Fan, Lin Yunwan can write some words now, but knows nothing about the rest.
There is a piano, a chessboard, and colorful paints placed in the ear room.
Lin Yunwan walked in and asked, "What do you think I should learn?"
She looked at Aunt Fan sincerely.
Aunt Fan walked to the chessboard and the piano, hesitated for a while, and then said with a smile: "Girl, let's learn how to play the piano."
"Auntie, does it have any profound meaning?"
Aunt Fan smiled and said: "As an ordinary person, how can I not like the music after hearing it?"
"This melody is more pleasing to others, and it can also please others. What the girl learned before was all for herself, and she also learned how to make others happy."
Lin Yunwan smiled.
The only thing she is not proficient in is the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
She humbled herself and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to learn to the point of pleasing others in such a short time."
But Aunt Fan said: "Girl, don't belittle yourself."
Then he asked Lin Yunwan: "Leave your schoolwork to me, girl."
Lin Yunwan handed in her homework. After checking it, she nodded and said, "Girl, please sit down."
She started to teach her from Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu.
After studying for a day, when get out of class was over, Aunt Fan gave Lin Yunwan a rare reminder: "Girl, is there something on your mind today?"
Lin Yunwan was stunned for a moment, then said: "I am learning about housekeeping with my wife. I just picked a maid this morning and has already gone to my Bixi Hall. I haven't met her alone yet."
Aunt Fan smiled slightly and said, "You have to be careful when choosing a maid to be close to you. She might be the one who will accompany the girl for the rest of her life."
"Exactly."
Lin Yunwanfu said: "Mother Fan, I will take my leave."
Just left.
After returning to Bixi Hall, she saw Cui Qin staying in the wing in a polite manner. Xiruo rushed over and said, "Miss." She followed Lin Yunwan into the upper room and whispered, "What you asked me to inquire about, We’ve all asked about it.”
Lin Yunwan sat on the couch and asked carefully: "Cuiqin's wife and I are both three generations of family, and they don't look stupid. Why haven't they been reused until now?"
Xiruo said: "Their family is from the old lady's house."
"When the family was separated, it was given to our master. My wife didn't like to use the old lady's people, and she didn't dare to send her mother-in-law's people away. I will definitely not agree to get rid of the old lady's people. Just keep one in the house. It's cold inside."
"Miss Cuiqin was also left out."
Lin Yunwan nodded and said, "This is something my wife can do."
"I heard that Cuiqin has an older brother. Where is he working as an errand now?"
Xiruo then said: "I was helping the steward run errands in the front yard of the main house. Cuiqin said that her brother only did some chores and was not very shameful in front of the masters."
Lin Yunwan nodded, very satisfied: "That's good. He's an errand boy. He can go wherever he wants."
Then asked Xiruo: "What do you think of Cuiqin?"
Xiruo did not hesitate to say good things about Cuiqin: "In the morning in the meeting hall, when other families gave birth to children, they were always a little arrogant. Maybe because of my mother-in-law, Miss Cuiqin grew up being arrogant in the second room, and she has no arrogance at all. .”
"When the slave asked her about her life experience, she was not dissatisfied at all whether it was the old lady's side or the madam's side."
Lin Yunwan also praised Cuiqin: "She is a good girl."
"Are you going to keep her?"
Lin Yunwan nodded: "Go and arrange the room for her, and ask her to come and take care of her tonight."
Cuiqin came over half an hour later.
Lin Yunwan said to her: "Go to the warehouse and move one of my pianos out." That was when she entered the house. Lin Huabin gave her something... Of course it was not given by Zhao Jingyi.
Cuiqin took people to move the piano and put it on a long table.
Lin Yunwan was sitting under the window sill playing the piano. It sounded like a beginner plucking the strings, very clumsily.
When Cuiqin served the tea, she boldly said: "...If the girl is irritable, would you like to drink some tea first?"
Lin Yunwan stopped and asked her with a smile: "How do you see that I am irritable?"
Cuiqin said: "This slave heard it." She said: "When I was young, I often heard the married eldest lady playing the piano."
Lin Yunwan smiled lightly. I heard that that person was also trained by Aunt Fan, so naturally he also learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
"I have something to worry about."
Lin Yunwan sighed deliberately.
Cuiqin suddenly became very nervous. She knew that the opportunity had come!
"If you have any instructions, young lady, I will do my best to do it for you."
Lin Yunwan looked at her but said nothing.
Cuiqin pursed her lips and suddenly knelt down and said: "Girl, this slave is new here. I dare not ask the girl to trust me immediately, but the girl can at least try my skills as a slave."
Lin Yunwan smiled lightly and said, "You have the ability, but I have to dare to use it."
Cuiqin thought for a while and said, "I want to tell you something that speaks to my heart."
"My wife and brothers are living a life without hope, but I don't want this. I want to follow the girl!"
Lin Yunwan nodded and said, "This is the truth."
Cuiqin smiled awkwardly, wondering if the eldest lady really believed her. She rubbed her hands, eager to help Lin Yunwan solve his problem.
"Have you ever heard of the Su family?"
"I've heard of it!" Cuiqin stared, this is the girl's maternal grandfather's house.
Lin Yunwan ordered: "Your parents are from home, and your brother works in the front yard. Go and find out where the Su family is staying now."
After the Su family got married to the Lin family, the family suffered a lot and fell.
As soon as Miss Lin's biological mother passed away, the two families broke off contact. After Lin Yunwan came over, she never saw or heard from the Su family.
Cuiqin nodded solemnly: "I'll go right away!" She didn't forget to express her loyalty: "Don't worry, girl, I won't say a word to anyone."
Lin Yunwan said "hmm".
She wasn't worried about Cuiqin telling her. It was natural that she wanted to inquire about her grandfather's family. Even if people outside know about it, it doesn't matter.
She doesn't care about her maternal family, and people outside will be surprised.
Cuiqin didn't come back with the news so quickly, so Lin Yunwan went to Zhao Jingyi's private garden first.
Lin Huabin took Lin Yunwan to the garden in a carriage and said, "Talk to your father. The carriage is waiting for you outside. My uncle will leave first."
"good."
Lin Yunwan took Xiruo and walked inside. It was the same garden as in the flower market last time. The two of them walked deeper and saw Ah Fu standing outside the yard.
The person who came to see her was not Zhao Jingyi, but Qi Lingheng!
Lin Yunwan stopped.
