There are some furniture of unknown age placed in the penthouse, so it is not difficult to put them away.
Zhou Cong didn't find any other wood, he just chopped all the broken furniture into small pieces and threw them into the fire tunnel.
As the flames grew stronger and stronger, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Liu took people to check if there was any smoke in the house.
"Thank God, the earth dragons are all good. Now the girl can sleep well at night."
Aunt Liu happily ran over to report to Ye Jintang.
The ground dragon was burning and the room was gradually getting warmer. Aunt Liu brought Ye Jintang a cup of red date and ginger tea and let her drink it to warm herself up.
"The old lady treated the girl like this as soon as she entered the Marquis Mansion. The girl should plan more for herself in the future."
"Well, since the old lady doesn't give me face, then I don't need to give her face."
Ye Jintang immediately had an idea in mind.
"One more thing, the old lady didn't even assign a maid to the girl. This really shouldn't happen."
"And at this hour, the stewardess didn't come to remind the girl to pay her respects to the old lady tomorrow morning."
"It would be extremely unfilial and disrespectful for the girl not to greet the old lady as soon as she returned to the Danyang Marquis Mansion. If it spreads, it will damage the girl's reputation."
"It seems that the old lady deliberately did not mention this matter."
Ye Jintang picked up the red date and ginger tea and took a sip. He was very disdainful of Mrs. Ye's actions. These small tricks were nothing in her eyes.
She is not a little girl who is ignorant of the world, and she will not be frightened by the smallest things.
"Mama Liu, help me pack my white clothes. Call me early tomorrow morning. I'm going to pay my respects to the old lady."
"Yes, slave, please prepare your clothes now."
Ye Jintang curled his lips and played tricks on her, hoping that the old lady would be in better health and not be mad at her.
After a tiring day, Ye Jintang fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow. Half asleep and half awake, she vaguely felt a fluffy figure crawling into the bed and curling up under her feet. She knew it was the naughty little Xue Duan without even thinking.
At dawn the next day, Grandma Liu and Grandma Zhang came over to wake Ye Jintang up.
"Why so early?"
Ye Jintang fell asleep in a daze, not wanting to leave her warm bed at all.
"To pay my respects to the old lady, it is natural to go early. If you go too late, you will easily get caught and make irresponsible remarks."
Aunt Zhang brought the clothes she had prepared and helped Ye Jintang dress and wash up.
"Aunt Zhang is still kind-hearted, so you should get me that pure white dress. The jade color just looks fresher."
"Wearing a jade-colored long dress in this winter makes me feel so cold. The girl is kind-hearted and doesn't want the old lady to faint from boredom on the first day."
The maids and women in the room all laughed softly.
The older a lady is, the more she likes lively colors.
In Mrs. Ye's eyes, Ye Jintang's behavior was extremely unlucky.
Dressed in white, with a beaded flower on her hair, and no makeup on her face, coupled with Ye Jintang's thin body, she looked lifeless.
"That's right, let's go and pay our respects to the old lady."
Ye Jintang took Lvzhu, Forsythia, Aunt Liu, and Aunt Zhang to Fushouyuan.
As soon as she entered the gate of Fushouyuan, she saw several girls about her age standing under the porch of the main house.
The colors of the clothes worn by each girl were very lively, and there was even a younger girl who looked very gorgeous in a red dress with white fur.
The appearance of Ye Jintang made them all turn to look at the door, with almost everyone having a look of surprise on their face.
Ye Jintang is better-looking and more delicate than rumored.
Grandma Sun, who had been waiting at the door, didn't expect Ye Jintang to come, so she quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"Sixth Miss is here. Several ladies are chatting with the old lady in the room. It will probably take a while before she can come out. Sixth Miss is delicate, so why not go to the west room to sit for a while. After the ladies come out, the old slave will come to invite the girl. .”
"These cousins haven't gone to the West Room to rest, so it's naturally hard for me to go there. I can just wait with my sisters."
Grandma Sun didn't dare to respond casually, so she went into the back room to report to the old lady after saying a few polite words.
When Grandma Sun entered the room, Ye Jintang took a few steps forward and stood with several other girls.
It wasn't that Ye Jintang wanted to get close to them, but there were several charcoal stoves placed next to them. Wherever he stood, his body felt a little warmer.
"Are you sister Jintang?"
A girl wearing pink clothes took the initiative to say hello to Ye Jintang.
"Yes, I don't know what to call my sister."
"My name is Yanran."
Ye Jintang was surprised when he heard the name.
This is the koi heroine Ye Yanran in the original work. Just looking at her face, I feel that she is very gentle, not cruel.
People really can't be judged by their appearance.
"I've met Sister Yanran."
"This is your fifth sister Ye Lan, this is your seventh sister Ye Zhu, your eighth sister Ye Qing, your ninth sister Ye Tao, and your tenth sister Ye Bin."
Although they are said to be younger sisters, they are actually about the same age as Ye Jintang. Only Ye Bin is younger, and is only 11 years old now.
Ye Yanran was enthusiastic and introduced several girls to Ye Jintang.
Everyone was of similar age, so naturally there were topics to talk about. Several girls gathered together and chatted.
The old lady in the room was having breakfast. When she heard that Ye Jintang was coming, she couldn't help but frown.
"She is very polite. I thought she would be so scared that she would cower in Jade Garden and not dare to come out."
"Since she wants to come to pay my respects, just wait."
"Old madam, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to keep Miss Six waiting."
Grandma Sun quickly gave an overview of Ye Jintang's appearance, "This servant looks at Miss Six, and her face is not very good. If she suddenly faints after standing outside for a long time, the matter will be unclear."
"Besides, she has been standing and talking with several other girls. It would be inappropriate to just let her wait."
"He's such a troublemaker. He makes me feel troubled when he comes here."
Mrs. Ye slammed the chopsticks in her hand on the table and asked the maid serving in the room to remove the breakfast.
"Mother, don't hurt yourself because of a little girl. If mother doesn't want to see her, just don't ask her to pay her respects in the future."
Mrs. Gan, the eldest daughter-in-law, personally handed the warm handkerchief to the old lady to wipe her hands.
"Well, it's nothing. You all should leave and let a few girls in."
Several ladies went out, and the girls standing at the door lowered their heads and saluted. The leader, Mrs. Gan, glanced at Ye Jintang meaningfully and left without saying a word.
Several other ladies had similar attitudes, and some even didn't even look at her.
It was as if she didn't exist.
Ye Jintang didn't understand. Even if she was an orphan, she would not be treated as a transparent person by everyone in the Hou family. This was too strange.
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Ye Jintang is ready to find out how his family offended Mrs. Ye.
