Tan Shuya grabbed Li Da Nv who was looking around.
Li Danniu was a little disappointed because she didn't see the man.
Looking down...the mother and daughter's shoes were stepping on the carpet...both mother and daughter blushed.
Tan Shuya bowed to Mrs. Bai nervously, "Thank you, Madam, for allowing my mother and I to stay..." She couldn't help sobbing.
Madam Bai had already changed her clothes and sat in the main seat. She smiled and said, "We are of the same origin and clan. I am happy to be able to help my clan members. You don't have to do this!"
"You don't know, I, I took great pains to find this place... but when I asked around, I heard that the Tan family had all moved away. At that time, I really thought that my mother and I were going to die..." Thinking of everything that happened on the way, her body trembled and tears flowed.
"Don't cry. Once you find me, everything will be fine. Don't worry, taking care of you and your daughter is a piece of cake for me. Settle down first, then we can talk about other things."
"Yes, ma'am, I have a shameless request. Please see..."
"Speak!"
"My mother's family fell into poverty. After I got married, my husband's family abused me. My health is not good either... I am fine, but I am afraid that I will not be able to teach this little girl due to my illness. I can't even teach her how to do household chores. Do you think it is possible to keep her by your side as a little maid and serve you?!"
At this moment, the man came over from the next hall.
"Madam? This is..."
Mrs. Bai said, "My husband, this is a branch of the Tan family's yam, which was originally moved to another province. Now, the mother and son have returned to find their ancestry, and you also know that the Tan family is here..."
The man smiled and said, "Oh, so it's Madam's family. As long as Madam is in the Tan family, she is worth thousands and millions..."
"Okay!" Mrs. Bai scolded. "You mean, let this little girl stay in the yard... But I have a lot of things to do. I have to work, meet guests, and take care of my husband and son. I'm afraid I can't take good care of her!"
"Madam! Don't underestimate her because she is young. She can do everything. She can cook, chop wood, fetch water, and wash clothes. You have so many flowers and plants in your garden. You can ask her to help take care of them."
"Little girl, look up and let us see?!" the man spoke.
Li Danniu was overjoyed. She looked up at the man and then at Mrs. Bai.
Mrs. Bai saw that her hair was dry and yellow, and her complexion was not good, but her eyes were clear, bright and watery, and she left a good impression on her.
"Ah! After all, it's the lady's family, she looks pretty and smart! Little girl, what's your name!?"
"My name is Li Danniu!" She was not afraid at all, and even said it excitedly.
The man laughed: "What a rustic name! It's fine to call it that when she's a child, but if you still call it that when she grows up, people will laugh at you. Madam, what name will you give this little girl?"
Mrs. Bai was very happy to see her husband giving face to her relatives. "You should be the one to come up with the name!"
"Oh? Let your husband do it?!" He looked at his wife sideways, just trying to make her laugh.
Tan Shuya said hurriedly: "Please give her a name! But when her father was alive, he despised her because she was a girl and treated her badly. I think we don't need the last name Li, so please give her the last name Tan?!"
Mrs. Bai was of course happy to hear this: "Well, this is a good idea!"
"Of course it's good. This way, I can get some of Madam's spiritual energy... In my opinion, why not... just call her Tan Yanling! Yan means wild goose, and Ling means feather! Ling and Ling are homophones, both meaning smart and clever. It's a perfect match for this little girl!"
Mrs. Bai nodded: "It sounds good!"
Li Danniu said loudly: "Tan Yanling... Yan as in wild goose, Ling as in feather. Remember this, Niu'er! From now on, I will be called Tan Yanling!"
Her little face was stern and serious.
…
"Yan Ling?!" Who is calling her? "Yan Ling? Wake up!"
Tan's eyes were rolling, and she wanted to open them, but she couldn't open them no matter what.
…
That day, Tan did not show up at all.
Wen Yu was puzzled. She looked around and asked the maid next to her, "Why hasn't Aunt Xiuyun come yet? Have you gone to invite her?"
Because the Marquis's two concubines and Qi Youyi's aunt were all there.
A maid next to her replied, "Aunt Xiuyun said she would go to the old lady first to take a look, and then come over with her."
Master Qing had finished his work. Looking at the things on display, he came over and asked Wen Yu what to do next.
Wen Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go see what's wrong with her..."
Just as they were about to leave, Liu came over from behind and said to Madam Qi and Wen Yu, "Sister-in-law, the doctor is here and said that mother's spleen and stomach are out of balance, her body is weak, and she has just sweated a lot. The doctor prescribed some medicine and asked her to take it and rest first.
So, the clothes cannot be measured. Mother took a piece of clothes and said to make a set according to this size. Let Xiaowu's wife help choose and make a winter dress. "
Mrs. Qi didn't care and nodded.
Wen Yu was a little worried, "She was fine this morning. Did too many people come and disturb her?"
Liu: "The old lady said it's okay, it's just a coincidence!"
"Then let them retreat first?"
"Okay, let's retreat first!"
It was packed up quickly and the boxes were packed.
Wen Yu walked out with Master Qing, "What a coincidence... I wanted to let you see her, but in the end you didn't get to see her!"
"That's right! We'll see each other sooner or later."
…
Everyone in the shop left, and after a while, Wen Yu brought Xiao Ji to the old lady's room.
The maid in Tan's room saw her coming and came out to greet her, saying in a low voice: "Fifth Madam..."
"How is the old lady?" Wen Yu also asked in a low voice.
"I took the medicine and went to bed."
"Would it be convenient for me to go in and take a look?"
"No need! Aunt Xiuyun has been serving us just now. She has gone back now! The servants are watching us! We will tell you if there is any news!"
Wen Yu nodded and went back to her room.
Qi Wu is back, and quite early.
Seeing Wen Yu coming in, he helped her take off her cloak and asked, "Is the old lady sick?"
"Well, I took the medicine and went to sleep."
Wen Yu stopped talking to him and sat down, thinking carefully: Why is this so awkward? Did she do this on purpose to disgust me? Although this is her style...but Aunt Xiuyun didn't show up either.
If it wasn't Master Qing's business, all this would have happened naturally, and I certainly wouldn't have thought too much about it. But now...
Seeing that she was thinking about something, Qi Wu sat beside her and accompanied her silently.
When it was time to light the lamps, Tan was still awake! The maid went over to see her and found that she had a high fever.
So, he became panicked and went to find the third wife to ask for a doctor.
The doctor came and took a look, his expression became serious, "Normally, this shouldn't happen!"
Wen Yu heard about it and quickly followed everyone to the back hall. She watched the people busy coming in and out, and even the Marquis had come back...
Is this really a disease?! ...
"Yan Ling!" Tan heard someone calling again, and her mind suddenly became clear. She opened her eyes and woke up!
Looking at the embroidered tent ceiling, I turned around and saw the man sitting on the chair in front of the bed... Qi Zheng? Everything that happened when I was seven years old was still in front of me... Suddenly, a layer of sweat broke out on my forehead.
"Yan Ling, you finally woke up?!" Qi Hou had a smile on his face.
"My Lord..." Tan's voice was hoarse.
"Hurry and take a look, is there anything else that's uncomfortable?"
"…I'm fine, why are you here?"
"You had a fever, and they got scared, so they called me over. It's really scary, you've been sleeping since yesterday! It's already afternoon!"
"Ah? So serious?! I don't feel anything... I..." Tan's heart was pounding, thinking: I have a fever, I'm not talking nonsense! ? "It will be fine once you wake up. The doctor will be here soon..." Qi Hou comforted.
"I feel much better now. My Lord, please go and do your work first! I'm here..."
The Marquis nodded: "Okay, call me if you have anything!"
In the back hall, the Qi family was waiting for news.
Finally, Mrs. Liu came out, visibly relieved: "Mother has woken up, and the doctor said the fever has subsided. She's finally fine. Don't worry, everyone, go back to your room!"
Over there, a maid invited Aunt Xiuyun over.
Xiuyun was really worried: "Aunt, are you okay? Xiuyun was scared..." After saying that, her eyes turned red.
Tan forced a smile and said, "Everyone will be like this when they get old, but it's okay. You didn't measure your clothes yesterday?"
"Xiuyun has been with you all the time and has not gone anywhere."
Tan was relieved. "Well, let's do it after I get better. Pour me a glass of water..."
Xiuyun stood up and worked there. Looking at the familiar movements...
They look so similar! Fortunately, that person didn't see her yesterday...
Bai Yuqing...is it really her?! ...This is really...Tan laughed bitterly.
She was only twelve years old when the Bai family encountered trouble.
It's really strange. She's grown taller and a few dozen years older, but her appearance hasn't changed much... Look, her charm is still the same! Ha! But she is no longer a delicate girl, she has become a servant who makes a living by her skills...
And I became the marquis's wife.
Things change, the world changes... It's really funny! In fact, the six sisters of the Bai family have never offended her, and even treated her well! However, they have never seen her in their eyes, and never regarded her as their own sister...
So in the end, the Bai family was destroyed, and several noble ladies all had such a tragic end... It made her happiest! She couldn't help but laugh... What did I have at that time? I could kill you, let alone now?
I scared myself... How stupid! The grim smile on her face was seen by Xiuyun who turned around and called out worriedly, "Aunt?"
