The Regent's Tender Darling

Xuemei led the third and fifth ladies to the kitchen to get charcoal fire, while she continued to Aunt Wu's Orchid Pavilion.

Originally, Aunt Wu lived in Linyu Pavilion, which was also relatively close to the Lord's Courtyard. Later, it caught fire and it was said that it needed to be renovated.

Aunt Wu was temporarily placed in the remote Lanting Courtyard.

This temporary arrangement finally became a done deal.

Even Lin Zhengyang didn't have any dissatisfaction. He only focused on those beauties given to him by the Shen family.

Obviously he came from a family of noble scholars, but there were quite a few concubines in the family. Counting the concubines, there were more than 20 of them.

We walked to the Orchid Pavilion. This courtyard was really not good. Even the wood at the corner of the door was rotting.

The courtyard door was closed tightly, so it was quiet and quiet.

Boom, boom!

Qingtao knocked on the door three times, and then heard a female voice coming from inside: "Here it is~!"

This warm and loud voice... was that of Aunt Wu's mother-in-law, Mama Jin, who made good pastries and she ate a lot here when she was young.

Squeak~ The stumbling sound of opening the door is noisy.

Jin's mother was still respectful to Xiao Shenwei. When she saw her, she was stunned for a moment. She immediately beamed and patted her clothes in excitement: "Oh! The second girl is back!"

Looking at the slightly stocky woman in front of her, she was wearing the most ordinary gray linen clothes, plus the overskirt that had been washed white, which was enough to show how miserable Aunt Wu was living today.

"Mama Jin." She nodded with a warm smile. She grew up eating the pastries made by Jin's mother, so she naturally had a little more respect for her.

"Second girl, please come in quickly." Mother Jin said and quickly stepped aside.

Stepping into the courtyard, there are some dead trees on both sides, which are difficult to recognize after the leaves have fallen. The stone tile floor is actually clean. It must be that Jin's mother is hardworking.

The courtyard is neither big nor small. There are houses lined up in a row, close to the courtyard wall. In addition to the main hall and the main house, there are wing rooms on both sides.

She remembered that the room on the right was where her second brother lived.

It must be two days before this second brother comes back from Lushan Academy.

Before she even reached the hall, Aunt Wu had already opened the curtain and leaned out half of her body.

She has a gentle face, and is wearing a pea green cross-collar gown that is simple and elegant. The quilted moon-white armor does not look very warm, and the whole person is much thinner.

"Second Miss!" Aunt Wu was slightly startled and looked at her with disbelieving eyes. She obviously didn't expect that she would come here.

Lin Jiaojiao bowed slightly: "How is my aunt lately?"

Aunt Wu stared at her blankly for a long time, then she remembered that the Princess Regent was coming home today, and she quickly knelt down and said, "I pay my respects to the Princess."

"Auntie, what are you..."

…

——Lin Mansion Kitchen.

As soon as Lin Qingxue stepped into the kitchen courtyard, she was caught by Cui's mother who was shouting something. Her round face darkened and her chin was raised to the sky.

"Ouch! The Fifth Miss and the Third Miss are here. There is no fire today. Let's get early tomorrow." Cui's mother said, patting her skirt, grinning and turning around to leave.

"Mother Cui." Xuemei, who was behind, immediately stepped forward and called out to Mother Cui who was about to leave.

Mother Cui turned around with great impatience. Her impatience made her clothes wrinkleless and smooth.

It seemed like he was trying to open up the seams at the arms of the clothes.

I was about to open my mouth to scold, but when I saw that the person coming was Xuemei, I frowned, and then said in a mocking tone: "Hey! Who do I think I am? It turns out to be Miss Xuemei, what? Aren't the two girls married? Why is Miss Xuemei still here in my kitchen?"
