When she was ten years old, her father got a pot of autumn chrysanthemums from somewhere. The colors were beautiful. It was the first time in her life that she had seen such beautiful chrysanthemums. She cherished them very much and regarded them as jewels.
During a game, her brother accidentally knocked over a flowerpot. She burst into tears and asked him to find an identical chrysanthemum as compensation on her 18th birthday.
Eight years passed in a flash, and she had forgotten about this matter, but she didn't expect that her brother still kept it in his heart.
Not only did he find the chrysanthemum of the same color, but he also found so many colors, giving her a sea of flowers.
"Brother, you must have put a lot of thought into this chrysanthemum field."
Gu Yunran lowered her head and eyes to hide her dripping tears.
Tears wet the front of his shirt.
"No trouble."
Gu Yunyi had the gate opened, and Gu Yunran heard a group of people shouting in unison, "Miss!"
"Welcome back, Miss!"
Mrs. Wang stood at the front, followed by four maids, and saluted Gu Yunran with a happy smile.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yunran's eyes were slightly hot. She gave him a light support and said, "Madame Wang, get up quickly!"
Nanny Wang was her wet nurse. Gu Yunran grew up by her side until she got married. Originally, when she got married, her mother wanted Nanny Wang to go with her to the Lu Mansion, but Lu Qingzhou and his mother disagreed, so Gu Yunran gave up.
Nanny Wang stayed in Gu's mansion and cleaned her boudoir every day.
But she didn't expect that she couldn't go home, so her brother brought Nanny Wang to this courtyard.
Seeing that his sister had arrived safely at her residence, Gu Yunyi hurried back to report for duty.
I have an important mission today, so I didn't dare to delay any longer after he ran out after saying just one word.
"Yun Ran, my brother is going back first."
Gu Yunran nodded: "Brother, be careful on the road."
Gu Yunyi left, but the two girls, Qianbi and Ningxue, stayed.
"Miss, we two know some martial arts, so we'll stay here to protect you."
Gu Yunran knew that this was Mu Qianchen's arrangement, so she agreed.
"It's a good opportunity for you two to go look for Taohua and Ruizhu and bring them here."
Qianbi said, "I will go find them alone. Let Ningxue stay behind. If anything happens, we can deal with it in time."
"That's fine."
After Qianbi went out, Ningxuehua hurriedly closed the gate and locked it three times.
Then she went to take care of the bamboo leaves.
The other four maids went back to their respective duties. Mrs. Wang instructed, "Make something that the young lady likes to eat."
She had already prepared the menu and kept it in the kitchen, and the preparation process of each dish was clearly written. The maid who was cooking in the kitchen had also been trained for a long time by the chef in the mansion.
Under the guidance of Mrs. Wang, Gu Yunran strolled leisurely in the small courtyard.
Looking at the well-arranged scenery in the courtyard, her eyes welled up with tears.
The layout here is exactly the same as the yard where she grew up. Even the swings under the two peach trees are built according to the original style.
The courtyard is not big, it is a small courtyard with two entrances and two exits. After passing through the central hall, Gu Yunran arrived at his own wing room.
Mrs. Wang reached out and pushed open the door, lifted the curtain, and Gu Yunran entered the inner room and the familiar feeling came over her.
A pink Viman, a pink goose down quilt, and two white plush toy rabbits at the head of the bed.
These two rabbits were sewn by her mother for her when she was five years old, and she has always cherished them.
"Miss, this was arranged by the eldest master according to the courtyard you lived in as a child. I don't know if you like it."
"I like it very much."
Tears welled up in her eyes, but Gu Yunran tried hard to hold them back.
I worked like a slave in the Lu family for three years, but no one ever showed any gratitude.
Only when she returns home can she feel the warmth of being held in the palm of her hand.
I guess her father, mother and brother knew her plan a long time ago, so they bought this yard and decorated it carefully.
"As long as the lady likes it."
"Miss." The little maid came in with a copper basin. Mrs. Wang took a soft towel and put it into the basin to wet it, then wrung out the water.
"Miss, you must be hungry from all the hard work. I will clean up some noodles for you and we'll have dinner later."
Gu Yunran did not refuse Wang Pozi. When she was a child, Wang Pozi would wipe her face and hands carefully. She also felt the motherly love from Wang Pozi.
She couldn't help but reach out and hug Wang Pozizi, "Madame Wang, thank you!"
"Miss, you really make me suffer. It is my duty to love you." Mrs. Wang's face flushed, but she felt warm in her heart.
After wiping her face, Wang Po took Gu Yunran's hand and gently washed it in the copper basin. Suddenly, she frowned, turned over Gu Yunran's palm, and tears fell from her eyes.
"Miss, your hands, which are so precious, were carefully cared for in the mansion. How come you have so many calluses after three years at the Lu family?"
Mrs. Wang gently stroked the calluses on Gu Yunran's hands with a distressed look on her face: "How much suffering have you endured in the Lu family?"
While washing Gu Yunran's hands, she cried bitterly and couldn't help but curse all the ancestors of the Lu family. She had been nursing the young lady since she was a child and loved her as much as the lady did.
Seeing the young lady whom she had held in her arms since childhood, whose delicate and fair hands had never touched water in the mansion, now covered with calluses, she wanted to chop Lu Qingzhou with a knife.
Gu Yunran's eyes welled up with tears. She smiled softly and said, "I didn't do any heavy work. My fingers just fiddled with the abacus a lot, so I got all these calluses."
