Chapter 8 to please

When he entered the dining room, Mrs. Yan left her seat, and Mrs. Wang pulled Yu Fangfei to sit on the first chair on the left. Yu Fangfei was very reluctant. Mrs. Yan smiled and said, "You are a guest, you should have been like this."

Yu Fangfei sat down after she sat down, and Mrs. Yan smiled and said, "You guys can sit down too."

The female family members of the Yan family sat down one by one. When Yu Fangfei saw that Mrs. Yan and others did not stand to serve Mrs. Yan, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She remembered that when her mother was alive, she wanted to serve her grandmother's meal. Seeing that the rules of the Yan family were different from her own family, Yu Fangfei paid attention and followed them one by one. The meal ended without any surprise.

After having lunch as a welcoming banquet, Wang took Yu Fangfei to the yard arranged by Yan Mansion for Yu Fangfei. The yard was small and exquisite, with three upper rooms and four ear rooms. The front yard was planted with crabapple flowers and plum blossoms, and the bedding and curtains in the house were all brand new. It can be seen that Yan Mansion did not neglect this cousin.

Wang smiled and said, "If you have anything to buy, my cousin will come to me." Wang is now following Mrs. Yan and is in the housekeeper.

Yu Fangfei hurriedly thanked her, "I have troubled my cousin's wife."

"You are exhausted and I won't bother you anymore. You have settled down now, and we will have a long way to go." Wang helped his maid leave.

Yu Fangfei sat down on the couch and sighed softly, thinking of her deceased grandmother, who worked hard for her to find such a way out, and I don’t know whether it is good or bad. Whether it is good or bad, now living in Yan’s mansion, she can’t leave easily. Every day she would go to Chunhui Hall to pay tribute to Mrs. Yan and serve Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Yan looked at Yu Fangfei with tea with complicated eyes, "Fangfei, there are maids doing these things, you don't have to do this. When you have a good rest, just go to the boudoir with Qin'er and the others to study. You are my cousin's granddaughter, just like my granddaughter."

"Grandma Auntie is as kind as grandmother. When I see my grandmother, I feel like I see my grandmother. I want to be by my grandmother and respect my grandmother." Yu Fangfei looked at Mrs. Yan with a jealous face.

"I know you are a filial and good child." Mrs. Yan has experienced the world and knows what Yu Fangfei is thinking, but there is really no need. Since she is willing to bring people here, she is taking care of her like a granddaughter. When she gets old, she will find a good marriage and marry someone out, which is considered a sisterhood relationship with her cousin.

Yu Fangfei was determined to please Mrs. Yan. Fortunately, Mrs. Yan had to follow her, and she gave her some gifts from time to time, and she also showed that she was very close to her. Seeing this, the servants did not dare to neglect her.

In addition to please Mrs. Yan, Yu Fangfei also tried to make friends with the ladies in the mansion. Everyone else was very kind to her, but only Yan Xiang had a deep hostility towards her. She asked herself that she had not offended Yan Xiang, but she really didn't understand where Yan Xiang's hostility towards her came from? No matter how smart Yu Fangfei was, she could not have thought that Yan Xiang was the one who lived for a lifetime.

That afternoon, Yu Fangfei took a nap and went to Chunhui Hall again. Before she could enter the door, she heard Mrs. Yan calling someone to serve the soup. When she stepped in, she saw Yan Huo lying in the arms of Mrs. Yan, her eyes flashed slightly. After living there for a few days, she knew that Mrs. Yan respected the most granddaughter, Yan Rong, who was married, was not only because Yan Rong married into the Marquis' Mansion of Jingbian, but would be the Marquis' Madam in the future, but because Yan Rong was the eldest granddaughter; her favorite granddaughter was Yan Huo, the twelfth lady from the fourth room. Yan Huo gave birth prematurely and was sickly and ill. The whole family was careful to take care of her, for fear that she would die prematurely.

"Grandma, Twelve Sister." Yu Fangfei called out.

"Cousin Yu." Yan Huo looked up and responded.

"Fangfei, sit down." Mrs. Yan knew that Yu Fangfei liked to talk about this kind of etiquette and spoke.

Yu Fangfei owed her body, sat down on the chair next to her, smiling.

The maid brought the soup in. There was a plate of cakes in the shape of a rabbit on the tray. Yan Huo's eyes were bright, "What a cute pastry."

"Miss Twelve had to drink this soup before she could eat pastries." The maid smiled.

Yan Huo pouted, "Sister Muyuan is bad."

Mu Yuan smiled, "Miss Twelve said that I was bad, so I won't give the purse that I embroidered for Miss Twelve."

"Grandmother, Sister Mu Yuan has learned bad things." Yan Huo raised his head and complained.

"How should I punish her?" Mrs. Yan asked with a smile.

Yan Huo shook his head and said, "Please make her make twelve purses for me so that I can wear different purses every month."

"If you drink the soup, your grandmother will punish her." Mrs. Yan smiled.

"If Miss Twelve is willing to drink soup, I am willing to make twenty-four different purses for Miss Twelve." Mu Yuan smiled.

"The temptation is so great, oh, I can't stand it anymore!" Yan Huo shouted with his limbs spreading.

"Little bad girl." Old Mrs. Yan smiled and nodded her forehead.

Mu Yuan stepped forward to serve Yan Hae to drink the soup. Yan Hae picked up a piece of cake in the shape of a rabbit, held it in front of Mrs. Yan diligently, and said with a compliment: "Grandma, eat it, eat it! It's so sweet!" She slashed her mouth, showing a well-behaved and cute smile.

Mrs. Yan smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao eats it by herself."

Yan Huo happily stuffed the snacks into his little mouth and greeted Yu Fangfei again, "Cousin Yu, you can eat them too."

"Thank you." Yu Fangfei said thank you politely, and then stepped forward to get a piece.

Yan Huo held the pastry and ate with relish. After eating two pieces, Mrs. Yan refused to let her eat it, "Eating too much will not melt." Yan Huo was weak and although she ate sweetly, she could not eat too much every time.

Seeing Yan Hu acting coquettishly in the arms of Mrs. Yan, Yu Fangfei couldn't help but think of her grandmother. Her grandmother loved her so much and did not forget to plan for her before her death. She would not let her down her grandmother's expectations and would live a good life.

When she greeted her the next morning, Mrs. Yan saw that Mrs. Yan had worn a new forehead wiping, and she praised her: "Mother's forehead wiping looks so unique."

Mrs. Yan raised her hand and pressed her forehead, and smiled and said, "This is what Fangfei did."

"Miss Cousin's hand is so clever." Mrs. Yan smiled.

"No, since the cousin lady came, all the children at home were defeated." Mrs. Yan San said sourly.

Mrs. Yan glared at Mrs. Yan San and said, "I like Fangfei's temperament, gentleness and generosity, and skillfulness."

Yu Fangfei's face turned slightly red, "I was embarrassed to praise my grandmother. The embroidery work was very rough, but fortunately my grandmother didn't dislike it."

"The eldest aunt said that the forehead was unique, but my cousin said that the embroidery was rough. Was it because the eldest aunt praised the wrong person, or was it too humble?" Yan Xiang asked sideways.

Yu Fangfei smiled and said, "My aunt is not wrong, and I am not too humble. The forehead smear I made is indeed not as exquisite as the forehead smear my ancestors usually wear. It is better because the style is unique enough, making up for my shortcomings in needlework."

"My cousin has a clever mouth." Yan Xiang sneered.

"It's not as smart as my cousin." Yu Fangfei was also a little annoyed. She had already tolerated her everywhere, but Yan Xiang was getting more and more over-the-top.

"Okay, it's getting late, so go to the boudoir to study." Mrs. Yan could see that Yan Xiang was targeting Yu Fangfei. She was obviously a sensible child, so why couldn't she get along well? "Qin'er, this is the first time your cousin is here to take good care of her."
