"Madam?"
Lin Yan'er spoke, bringing Nian back to her senses.
She looked at Lin Yan'er in front of her and said, "Okay, I'll do it for you tomorrow and hire some servants to take you a concubine right away."
Guo Liangxian immediately agreed, "Okay!"
After arranging things for her son and Miss Lin, Nian asked Mother Cui to call Yuan Xueyue.
Zhongsi Hall.
Yuan Xueyue sat on the ground with a straight posture, neither humble nor servile.
On the way here, she heard Mother Cui say that Guo Liangxian had found the right person to organize the account books.
And that person was actually Lin Yan'er!
This incident was somewhat unexpected for Yuan Xueyue.
However, what will surprise the General's Mansion, Nian family and others even more in the future is that the reason why Lin Yan'er sorted out some things is that the identity behind it cannot be revealed!
But now Yuan Xueyue didn't want to make it public so quickly, so she listened to what Nian said.
Nian said, "Look at you. Zhuangzi has just been settled, and you can't help but go back to your parents' home. Don't you care about the affairs of the mansion?"
Yuan Xueyue said calmly, "I've been diligently performing my duties for five years and have worked very hard. I bet my mother-in-law wouldn't be unaware of this."
Nian was suddenly speechless.
"But now Liangxian wants to take a concubine. As the general's wife, you should help with the arrangements. Let Miss Lin help you sort out the account books, so you don't have to worry about it!" Nian thought for a while and said.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yuan Xueyue's expression on purpose.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xueyue nodded directly and said,
"Okay, as long as mother-in-law agrees, I will arrange for some servants to prepare and take good care of Liangxian tomorrow."
After saying this, Nian felt a little sad.
Where can you find such a sensible mistress who is not jealous of the general's mansion and is sensible?
Nian comforted her,
"Don't be sad, she's just a concubine, she can't reach your status and position."
Yuan Xueyue smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law knows and will not let Miss Lin suffer any grievances."
The next morning, as soon as the bird crowed, Yuan Xueyue sent someone to do it.
People inside and outside the palace were divided into two groups.
Taking a concubine should be done early, not in the evening.
Therefore, the courtyard next to Yaoyu Pavilion, Yanling Garden, is exquisite and graceful, and is decorated to look like the mistress's opera garden.
It was Guo Liangxian who personally asked his servants to do it, and it was almost copied.
It was because Lin Yan'er said last night, "I went to the Pear Garden and saw that the decoration there was very unique, elegant and beautiful. Can I decorate it the same way tomorrow?"
Guo Liangxian was almost surprised.
"Yanling Garden is not as big as Liyuan. If you want to wait and see, you won't be able to catch up!"
"Besides, I am taking you as a concubine, so you must come to the mansion at noon."
Lin Yan'er refused to agree. "I want it! As much as it resembles me, I'll do it. There's no shortage of servants in the mansion anyway. It'll be done in less than two hours. As long as it looks roughly like me, that's fine!"
"General~ is this okay?"
Guo Liangxian still couldn't resist Lin Yan'er's nagging and succumbed to her.
Therefore, early in the morning, not only was Manager Li in the mansion busy, but even Mama Rong in the backyard was also busy, directing several maids and servants to clean up the courtyard.
Yanling Garden.
Yaoyu Pavilion is next to Ju Niuer.
After all, the side courtyard is at the back and far away, and it is also where important servants live, such as Mother Cui.
After getting up, Yuan Xueyue washed and dressed herself up, looking dignified and elegant. She ordered someone to go to the side courtyard to pick up Lin Yan'er and wait outside the house.
However, Cuiping came running over and said,
"Madam! Miss Lin doesn't want to come out!"
Yuan Xueyue glanced sideways, "Why?"
Cuiping said angrily, "Her two maids, Caichan and Qingliu, helped to guard the house and insisted on waiting until after noon before leaving!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xueyue wanted to laugh.
It turns out that Lin Yan'er didn't want a big ceremony, but she insisted on holding it like Huanghun did, to have a formal marriage!
This ambition is enough!
Yuan Xueyue walked out calmly and came to Zhongsitang to urge Mother Cui.
"Mother Cui, we are almost too late. It's almost 9 o'clock and Miss Lin hasn't left the house yet." Yuan Xueyue said truthfully.
Mother Cui was so anxious that her scalp was numb. At the critical moment, it was just to take a concubine, so why was Miss Lin still making such a fuss?
The old lady finally agreed to her request, what else did she want!
Mother Cui said, "Okay, okay, wait a moment. I'll call the old lady to hurry up."
Nian had already been groomed by her maid and had her half-gray temples tied up. When she heard Cui Mama's explanation, she was furious!
"What's going on? Do I need to ask her to come out for such a small matter?"
Nian was very angry and ordered Mother Cui to call for help.
So, four or five servants gathered in the side courtyard, pushed the two maids away, and then went in to pull out Lin Yan'er who was holding on to the doorpost tightly!
Mother Cui said coldly,
"Please, Miss Lin, be sensible! Don't wait for the old lady to come over and get angry in your face before you leave!"
Hearing this, Lin Yan'er immediately stopped struggling and allowed herself to be carried out by the servants.
Afterwards, before Guo Liangxian returned from the farm at noon, Lin Yan'er was carried directly into the mansion from the back door in a sedan chair by people arranged by Yuan Xueyue.
The simple ceremony was much better than the one with Ju Niuer.
In the afternoon, in Zhongsi Hall, Nian began to teach Lin Yan'er while cursing.
"Be more careful! This is the General's Mansion, a place where family traditions are valued! Just because I take a concubine, we won't allow you to run wild!"
"You still think you can stay here until noon and come back to the mansion at dusk? Don't dream on!" Nian said angrily.
Lin Yan'er was not affected at all and retorted,
"Old Madam, you also know that family traditions should be respected, right? Then why did you dare to pry open the warehouse last time?"
When these words came out, Nian was shocked!
This guy is really good at rebutting!
Nian roared,
"How dare you say that? If it weren't for your instigation, you bitch!"
Lin Yan'er smiled and shook her head, "No! It's because you, old lady, are lucky and think that Madam dare not speak."
Nian was shocked, "You, you...!"
Mother Cui came forward immediately, calmed Nian's emotions, brought her a cup of hot tea, and then pointed at Lin Yan'er angrily and said,
"Shut up! Even the general wouldn't dare to anger the old lady, how dare you? Someone come!"
Mother Cui wanted to call someone to beat Lin Yan'er, but she was not afraid at all and shouted, "Who dares to touch me!"
"The General's beloved is me! He rests in my room every night!"
"If I get hurt and can't serve the general, can you bear it?"
Lin Yan'er glared at Mother Cui with a sharp and cold look, which made Mother Cui and Nian very angry!
This is being arrogant because of being favored and relying on luck!
"You, you bitch!" Nian was angry and thought to herself that if her son didn't like her anymore one day, he would kill her in minutes!
Lin Yan'er suddenly stood up and prepared to leave.
She asked, "Then, old lady, do I still need to be confined to the side yard from now on?"
"No need! Get out!"
After calling Lin Yan'er away, Nian was horrified. Now the general's mansion would be ruined.
Nian was eagerly waiting for Guo Liangxian to come back so that she could report Lin Yan'er, but she didn't expect that he would come back until after dinner!
