After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

"Noble man, walk slowly!"

The matchmaker personally watched Meng Qianqian's carriage go away.

A girl beside her asked, "Only selling it for ten taels, isn't that too much of a loss? That girl caused us to pay out more than a hundred taels of silver in the beginning!"

Another girl said, "Yes, didn't they say they were going to sell her there? For at least fifty taels!"

This girl is a little small, but some men like this kind of girl.

The matchmaker said, "What do you know? From my perspective as a prostitute working in a brothel for decades, I know that girl is definitely not an ordinary person. I'm doing her a favor today. It's also because the girl was not destined to die, and a noble person saved her life."

Otherwise, how many people would not be tortured to death if they went to that kind of place?

On the carriage.

Banxia asked the little girl, "What's your name?"

The little girl played with the tassels on her clothes: "Tan'er."

Banxia asked again: "Your accent doesn't sound like you're from the capital. Where is your home? Who else is there in your family? Why did you end up in the hands of a matchmaker?"

Tan Er folded her arms: "Why are you asking so many questions? Are you afraid that I will run away? If I run away, you won't be able to catch me!"

Banxia was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Don't bother with the little girl!"

After arriving at the Lu family, Meng Qianqian gave Wu Ge'er a few instructions, and then she, Banxia and Tan'er walked towards the Begonia Courtyard.

Tan Er exclaimed: "Sister, the place behind your back is so big——"

Meng Qianqian pointed forward and said, "That yard is mine. The others are not mine."

Tan Er looked at Hai Tang Yuan who was still young: "Uh..."

The servants of Haitang Courtyard were all very surprised to see the eldest young lady bringing back a dirty and smelly little girl.

But the little girl was wearing the eldest lady's valuable fur coat, so the servants did not dare to neglect her.

Tan Er looked around curiously, reaching out her hand from time to time to touch the flowers and trees: "It's a little broken, but it's still unique!"

Banxia was stunned: "Broken? What's broken? Is the flowerpot broken?"

Tan Er explained: "Just four little ones!"

Banxia nodded: "Oh...wait, whose yard are you talking about? You're just a maid, and you're complaining about it!"

Tan Er made a face at Ban Xia: "Omitted."

Nanny Li loved cleanliness. She came out to greet Meng Qianqian, but when she saw such a little beggar, she almost fainted.

"Mammy, is there any hot water?"

"some."

Nanny Li was familiar with Meng Qianqian's habits. She always took a bath and changed clothes after returning from going out, so she asked the kitchen to boil water early.

Tan Er touched all the flowers and plants in the yard, came to Meng Qianqian with a smile, and asked, "Sister, when is dinner?"

Meng Qianqian gestured with her eyes to the room next to the small kitchen, where was the bathroom she had renovated for Lindong to use for bathing.

"Take a shower first."

"I won't wash it!"

"If you don't wash, you won't have food to eat."

"Uh-here-come-"

Tan'er rushed into the bathroom and dived into the bathtub filled with cold water.

As Nanny Wan walked to the door with a bucket of hot water, her head was covered by several pieces of dirty clothes flying towards her.

She took a deep breath and retched: "Hah——"

Tan Er sat in the cold water, hugging her arms and shivering: "I'm freezing to death... I'm freezing to death..."

After the hot water was filled, Tan Er stood up quickly: "I'm done washing!"

Aunt Wan was dumbfounded: "It hasn't been washed yet! You went in and came out right away, you think it's hot pot!"

Nanny Wan called over Aunt Hu and Aunt Liu, and the three of them held Tan'er down and washed her from head to toe over and over again, and they also boiled pot after pot of hot water in the small kitchen.

After an hour, the little girl was finally washed clean, and the three maids were exhausted.

Meng Qianqian was reading a storybook in the room.

Nanny Li and Banxia sat around the charcoal brazier doing embroidery.

When Tan'er, wearing a light green bodice, walked into the room, Nanny Li and Banxia were stunned.

She had a fair face, delicate eyebrows, a high nose bridge, red lips and white teeth. She was completely different from the dirty little girl before.

If she hadn't been wearing half-summer clothes, they would hardly have recognized her.

Tan Er didn't look at Li Ma and Ban Xia, but smiled and said to Meng Qian Qian: "Sister, your forehead is washed!"

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Set the table."

Tan'er was not polite and sat down confidently.

After a moment, she looked at the noodles in front of her without any spicy flavor and said with disdain, "The soup is so bland, I can tell it's hard to refuse."

A quarter of an hour later.

"one more bowl!"

"Come again!"

"More more!"

Banxia and Nanny Li looked at the table full of empty bowls. Isn't this too much to eat?

Tan'er finished the last bite, touched her round belly, and put down her chopsticks.

Meng Qianqian asked: "Is it delicious?"

“It’s hard to quit…” Tan’er burped.

Meng Qianqian said, "Tomorrow I'll make crispy duck, eight-treasure chicken, braised pork, and braised pig's trotters."

Tan Er's eyes lit up: "That's weird!"

Meng Qianqian smiled: "So, you have decided to stay?"

Tan Er winked slyly: "Yeah!"

Banxia took Tan'er downstairs to rest and taught her the rules of the mansion.

Nanny Li asked worriedly, "Young lady, this girl... can she do it? I'm not worried that I can't afford to feed her because she eats too much. She's too young. Although Banxia was also young when she first came to your side, she is a child of the Meng family and has learned the rules since she was young... This girl doesn't look like someone who can work. Of course, if you like her, it's fine to keep her by your side. I'm just worried that this girl won't obey and cause trouble in the mansion."

Banxia told Nanny Li what the matchmaker said. Banxia didn't believe it, but Nanny Li believed it a little.

Meng Qianqian turned a page of the storybook: "Mammy, haven't we been doing well in the Lu family these years? But what good have we gotten?"

Nanny Li was stunned.

Before dawn, Meng Qianqian was awakened by a loud noise. It turned out that someone had come from the old lady's place, urging Meng Qianqian to visit her morning and evening.

Meng Qianqian went to take care of Lu Lingxiao a few days ago and left the house yesterday. It would be inappropriate for her to use the excuse of being unwell at this time.

Meng Qianqian took Banxia with her.

In the past, when one went to pay respects, one would always have to wait outside for more than half an hour. But today, for the first time ever, the old lady got up earlier than Meng Qianqian.

"Greetings to grandma."

Meng Qianqian said.

The old lady sat on the chair, looking fiercely at the girl the Lu family had raised for five years, and said coldly: "I heard that you moved all the rewards from Xiao Ge'er back to your own yard?"

"That's true." Meng Qianqian admitted generously.

The old lady said unhappily, "Is there no storehouse in the mansion? You are not the head of the household anymore, what are you going to do with these? Why don't you have them moved to the storehouse!"

She got angry when she mentioned this. She had wanted to wait for her grandson to wake up and inform him so that he would give her all the rewards.

But she was just one step too late, and the girl had already emptied her grandson's study!

I heard that the emperor not only rewarded 10,000 taels of silver, but also valuable jewelry.

It was a gift from the emperor. She had never worn it in her life, and this girl snatched it away!

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Grandma, those are the dowry silvers that my husband returned to me. I'm afraid they can't be moved to the warehouse."

"Ridiculous!" The old lady slapped the table. "The Lu family married you, so your dowry belongs to the Lu family! How dare you ask your husband to return it? I think you really don't know the rules! Come on! Go to Haitang Courtyard and get back the reward from His Majesty!"
