Xu Wanning followed the tenants' sunrise and sunset every day. Time passed quickly, and four or five days passed in a flash.
Although she was so tired that she couldn't straighten her waist, those tenants treated her as one of their own and told her everything, which made Xu Wanning feel that it was worth it.
"Steward Chen's daughter is nineteen, and will be twenty during the Chinese New Year. She is as beautiful as a flower!" someone said with a smile.
Xu Wanning also laughed: "Are you married?"
"No, no one was allowed. All the matchmakers who came to the house were kicked out. They said they didn't want to get married."
Qingxing was curious, "Then Manager Chen and his wife just let their daughter do whatever they want?" She was also nineteen, and she wanted to stay with the young lady forever and not get married, but that didn't stop her from feeling that she was old enough to get married at nineteen.
Miss Nineteen and the baby are two or three years old.
"There's nothing I can do about it. They only have one daughter. She's raised very delicately, and there are two maids by her side. She doesn't do anything, and her hands look like green onions."
"She used to always come out to play, and she even followed us to the mountains to pick mushrooms and wild fruits. Just this year, it seems that I haven't seen her for a long time."
"I haven't seen her either."
"Do you know what she is doing at home?" One of the women pretended to be mysterious.
Everyone else looked at her curiously, and Xu Wanning motioned for her to continue.
"She hides in the house every day and embroiders. I heard that her mother also hired a nanny to teach her etiquette, and she comes over every once in a while to teach her. I accidentally saw it when I went back to her house. You heard it? Just listen, but don’t say it was me who said it.”
"I know, I know." The rest of the people agreed. We are all tenants, and we all have the same mind. Who would tell anyone about it? If Manager Chen finds out, it will not be good for them.
Xu Wanning became interested.
Has it changed this year?
These two words this year are the keywords.
Qingxing suddenly remembered something: "I have seen her before. Miss, you have also seen her."
"Oh? When?"
"During the Chinese New Year this year, she came to the house with Mr. Chen and his wife to pay New Year greetings. She also brought many things from the village. At that time, Mrs. Marquis personally received her. Miss, you said that she was not married yet and was a child, so you gave it to her. New Year's money of ten taels of silver."
Xu Wanning remembered, yes, after being reborn, she had forgotten such an important thing.
During the Chinese New Year last year, she did meet this Chen Mianmian, and praised her for her beautiful appearance, which looked like a fairy in a painting. She also asked Manager Chen and his wife to take good care of her eyes. In the future, this girl will definitely be Marry into a wealthy family and become a young mistress.
Xu Wanning smiled. Could it be that her words made her think something she shouldn't have?
Chen Mianmian was actually just a peasant girl with a low status. She probably wouldn't meet any prominent nobles. It was her first time entering the Hou Mansion. Could it be that she fell in love with one of the male masters of the Hou Mansion that time?
Cui Qingping is impossible, he was only four years old last year.
Cui Lu, who is over forty years old, is her father's cousin and her grandfather.
A nineteen-year-old girl would never fall in love with someone of her grandfather's generation.
The only one who is possible is Cui Yunfeng.
Cui Yunfeng was in his twenties, a time when he was suave and handsome. It was normal for Chen Mianmian to fall in love with him.
But she also remembered that Chen Mianmian did not enter the mansion in her previous life. After she redeemed Zhuangzi for the second time, she had not heard of Chen Mianmian getting married. It seemed that she had lived with her parents in another place.
This person who is harmless to her can become a knife for her revenge.
Xu Wanning became interested.
If this little girl really wants to climb a high tree, why don't you give her a stool?
Cui Yunfeng currently only has the shady Bai Qingqing by his side. If he had an additional aunt, how much would Cui Yunfeng think about Bai Qingqing?
"Hongmei, I want to meet this girl Mianmian."
…
Chen Mianmian is sitting in a chair with an elegant posture, a straight back, a slender neck, and graceful movements when drinking tea. She is wearing the most popular dress in Yancheng. Looking at the material, it is naturally good quality.
Sitting here, if Xu Wanning hadn't known that she was the daughter of Zhuangzi's steward, he would have guessed whether she was a young lady from a wealthy family!
Chen Ming is the steward of Zhuangzi. He doesn't have much money, but he is willing to spend such a large amount of money to train his daughter. It seems that he really has the heart to let his daughter fly to the branches and become a phoenix.
Xu Wanning washed her hands and wiped her face. After entering, Chen Mianmian stood up immediately and said, "The daughter of the people has seen the young lady and wishes to greet the young lady."
Xu Wanning waved her hand, and after sitting down, she asked Chen Mianmian to sit down as well, "I met you last year."
"Yes, the daughter of the common people will go to the house with her father and mother to pay New Year's greetings to all the masters."
"We haven't seen each other for a year, and Miss Mianmian has become more and more graceful." Xu Wanning looked at Chen Mianmian, and the more she looked at her, the happier she felt.
I feel pity for this, gentle and tender look, men like it best.
Chen Mianmian's cheeks turned slightly red: "Young Madam, you are overly praised."
"It's not a compliment, it's just telling the truth." Xu Wanning said: "Miss Mianmian is so beautiful, can she be accepted by others?"
"Never." Chen Mianmian shook her head.
How could those stupid young men catch her eye?
"Miss Mianmian is so beautiful. The threshold of the family should be broken down, right? Why haven't you agreed to her until now?"
"I am the only daughter of my parents. I...I want to stay with my parents for a few more years."
How many more years will you stay with me?
She is already nineteen now, even if she turns twenty in another year, twenty is an old girl in the village.
"If there is a suitable one, you should make a decision as soon as possible. It will be difficult for a woman after she is twenty. My sister is a person who has been through it all. I really treat you as my sister, so I am telling you these words from the bottom of my heart."
No matter how good-looking you are, no matter how good-looking you are, when you get older, you will only be chosen by others.
Xu Wanning was telling the truth.
Perhaps it was the word age that touched Chen Mianmian's heart.
Chen Mianmian bit her lip, the corners of her eyes began to turn red, and her tears fell like broken beads.
Xu Wanning noticed something was wrong. This little girl had something on her mind. She should be able to tell.
She winked, and Hongmeiqingxing immediately went down and closed the door.
There were only two people left in the room. Xu Wanning sat closer to Chen Mianmian and comforted her gently: "Is there anything on your mind, sister?"
Chen Mianmian was about to speak but stopped.
Xu Wanning was extremely sincere and comforted: "It's just you and me here. We are both women. If you have any grievances, I will help you if I can. Even if I can't help, I will keep the secret for you."
"Madam, please help me, I'm in so much pain."
