When Jingwan was born, the Old Madame's eldest daughter had already been married. She had only seen this eldest aunt, Luo Ronghui, once or twice. That was because she married in the capital, while Jingwan was born in Qi 'an prefecture. Due to the distance between them, it wasn't easy to walk around.
When Luo Ronghui and her entourage came in, Jingwan clearly felt that although the woman in the lead was trying her best to restrain herself, she still appeared to be in a hurry. "Mother!" She almost fell to her knees in front of the Old Madame.
The Old Madame hugged her. "My child, my child …"
The Old Madame was, after all, a person who had experienced storms and waves. Although her eyes were a little wet, she didn't cry.
Seeing that it was about time, Jingwan stepped forward to comfort her.
Perhaps because she felt a little embarrassed crying in front of the younger generation, Luo Ronghui followed the Old Madame's servants to wash her face and reapply her makeup. When she appeared again, her posture was that of a graceful noblewoman.
Because Luo Ronghui's husband was busy, he would only come to visit the Old Madame during the next break. Accompanying her was her only daughter, Yuan Qiaoqiao, who was currently talking to Jingwan. Luo Ronghui's life had been relatively smooth. The only problem was that she didn't have children. After four or five years of marriage, she was only pregnant with a daughter. After that, there was no more news. She didn't know how much medicine she took, how many gods she prayed to, and how much money she gave to the temple, but the result was still the same.
She had no choice but to let her husband take in concubines. However, although some of the concubines gave birth, they were all daughters. This number was also not satisfactory. Others said that she was vicious, that she was a hen that didn't lay eggs and didn't let others have children. She was so wronged that she wanted to die. Now, there was another child at home. The doctor said that it was most likely a son.
Luo Ronghui held Jingwan's hand for a while and gave her a greeting gift. Then, the Old Madame let Jingwan take her cousin to her small courtyard to play. The mother and daughter wanted to have a private talk, so Jingwan was prepared to take the initiative to leave.
Outside the main courtyard, the two of them met other people. Presumably, they had heard that Luo Ronghui had returned and had come to greet him.
After greeting Third Aunt, Jingwan looked at her stepsister. "Aren't you in class now? Why are you here?"
Luo Jingyou was much quieter than her biological younger sister. She was caught playing truant by her elder sister. She blushed and stammered, not knowing what to say. "Third Sister, I, I …"
"Third Elder Sister, Fourth Elder Sister said that since Eldest Aunt has returned, as juniors, we should come and pay our respects." Luo Jingwei looked at Jingwan, her face bright and innocent. She didn't know if she was just telling the truth or if she had other intentions.
Jingwan nodded slightly. They had come quickly. She said, "Let's go back to class. Grandmother and Aunt are talking right now, so we shouldn't disturb them. I think Second Aunt and Third Aunt will come back later. Let's pay our respects together later."
After hearing Jingwan's words, Luo Jingying urged the girls to play truant, including the six to eight girls. In any case, except for Luo Jingying herself, the others all turned back.
Jingwan curtsied to the Old Madame Liu and left. Yuan Qiaoqiao, who was next to her, saw this and was a little surprised, but she also followed suit.
"Mother, look at Luo Jingwan. She doesn't even put you in her eyes." Luo Jingying was so angry that her eyes turned red.
The Old Madame Liu pulled her handkerchief, her eyes dark. "Let's go back to class."
"Mother?"
"Ying 'er, be good. We really didn't come at the right time." Because her brother-in-law was from the Ministry of Personnel, and her father-in-law refused to support her husband, she was so focused on pleasing her sister-in-law that she forgot about everything else. Being reminded by her niece was like being slapped in the face. Especially with her four sisters-in-law, she was the only one standing here. She didn't know how the servants would laugh at her.
That Luo Jingwan was not only Ying 'er's nemesis, but also the third branch's nemesis.
Luo Jingying followed beside the Old Madame Liu and said in a low voice, "Mother, is the beeswax bracelet on Luo Jingwan's wrist given by Eldest Aunt?"
"Yes." The Old Madame Liu replied absent-mindedly.
Luo Jingying was jealous that Jingwan got something good again. All kinds of vicious curses were thrown at her. She had no manners at all. When the Old Madame Liu came back to her senses, she took a deep look at her daughter. Her daughter's talent and appearance were outstanding, but sometimes she had to admit that she really couldn't compare to Luo Jingwan. "Ying 'er, mother has told you many times that there are some things that you can't say."
"Mother, I'm just telling you. I won't say anything outside."
The Old Madame Liu was helpless. Why didn't her daughter understand what she meant?
"Wan Wan, your Begonia House is really beautiful." The path was paved with cobblestones, and there was even a small stream with koi fish and clusters of water lilies. A small bridge was set up, and all kinds of flowers and trees decorated the small courtyard in a picturesque disorder. There were even spider plants hanging under the corridor. It was the season of blooming, and the fragrance of the flowers filled the air.
"It was all arranged by my mother." It was arranged according to her preferences in Qi 'an fu. Yuan Qiaoqiao was led to the swing under the flower rack.
Mama Gong quickly brought people to bring tea and snacks, and the tea was the flower tea she made herself.
Leisurely swinging on the swing, eating the exquisite and delicious tea, and drinking the fragrant and sweet flower tea, nothing more beautiful could be imagined.
"Wan Wan, you really know how to enjoy. When I go back, I'll let my mother decorate my small courtyard like this. Also, give me some of your flower tea. Compared to other teas, your tea is the most to my taste. "
"Okay, I'll also give you the recipe. You can make it yourself."
"Aiya, Wan Wan, why are you so nice." Yuan Qiaoqiao gave Jingwan a big smile. "I'm embarrassed."
"It's just a recipe. It's not worth anything. Cousin, you don't have to be polite with me."
Yuan Qiaoqiao found that she and Jingwan were very compatible. She was obviously younger than her, but she felt that she was the one being taken care of. However, she didn't dislike it. Instead, she enjoyed it. There were many cousins in the Luo family, but there was no one around her age who could talk to her.
"Wan Wan, you and Fourth Cousin …"
"We were born one day after the other. It's inevitable that we would quarrel and have a little conflict." Jingwan said casually.
Seeing Jingwan like this, Yuan Qiaoqiao suddenly covered her mouth and giggled. She didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, Luo Jingying was short-sighted and used to putting on an act. Every time she came to the Luo family, she would come over and didn't know how to look at people's faces. It was annoying.
As Jingwan expected, in less than an hour, the other two aunts came back one after the other.
Although the second aunt was born of a concubine, because her birth mother died when she was born, she had been raised by Madame Luo. Compared to the other two biological daughters, she was actually very close to Madame Luo because she lacked a status. However, Jingwan didn't know whether this kind of closeness came from the heart or on the surface, so she didn't make any guesses.
Not long after, people came to Jingwan's place. In addition, Madame Luo allowed the students to finish school early, so there were even more people in Haitang House. It was very lively.
This was the first time for everyone, including the Luo sisters, to come to this small courtyard. They were all full of praise.
Perhaps it was because Madame Liu said something to Luo Jingying, or perhaps there were "outsiders" here, but Luo Jingying didn't do anything out of line. She was a qualified little master for once. That's right, she smiled sweetly and became the master of Haitang House.
Jingwan didn't care at all. She talked to these cousins who she had never seen before and got to know them. After entering the capital, she had to start to integrate into this circle. This was a good start.
"Cousin Wan, in two days, Miss Sun will be holding a flower banquet. Why don't you go with her?" The eldest daughter of the second aunt, Chiang Lingshan, looked at Jingwan with a smile.
It was said that "birds of a feather flock together". Jingwan didn't think that the girl who had a close relationship with Luo Jingying had a good temperament. "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
"If Cousin Wan is worried about the post, I can help."
"It's not about the post."
"Then Cousin Wan doesn't like Miss Sun's banquet?" She asked carefully, but there was an inexplicable excitement in the depths of her eyes.
She always wanted to dig a hole for others. Sure enough, she hated it the most. Did they really think that she didn't know who Miss Sun was?
