Traveling through time and space

"Second brother, how could you be so cruel? You didn't even tell me to wait a few days for it."

"Okay, okay, let's rest for two days and talk about it later. Let's put down a small amount and bring it back in half a month. Yuanyuan has just arrived, so let her play in the capital for half a month. Whoever of you is free can play with her."

"Grandma, you just spoil her like that." The second brother took back his outstretched hand.

"Mrs. Yang, call Mrs. Yan, Ruyan, Zhilin, and Zhirong over here. I have something to tell them." Grandmother instructed Mrs. Yang to go get them. Mrs. Yang had been waiting in the house. It seemed that she was also someone that grandma trusted.

"Shao Wu, I forgot something. When you take Yuan Yuan out tomorrow, give each of the children in the mansion a spare gift. Yuan Yuan will have to get along well with them in the future."

"Got it, Grandmother. Shaowu, I'll get it done tomorrow."

"Greetings, old lady, and young lady." Everyone saluted.

"Ruyan, Zhilin, Zhirong, you are all the elders who have stayed by my side. From today on, you will go to Qimeng Garden to serve Miss Yuanyuan. You must serve her with the same care as you did in Jishan Garden. Everything about Qimeng Garden will be taken care of by you, Mrs. Yan."

"Don't worry, old lady, we will take good care of the young lady." Mrs. Yan happily accepted the order. "Don't worry, old lady, we will take good care of the young lady." The three bowed and saluted.

"Grandma, Yuanyuan will take his leave first. Please take a good rest."

"Alright, I'm really tired, Yuanyuan. You should go and rest well. Tomorrow, Big Brother will accompany you for a walk. Aunt Yang, go to the accounting office in person, take two hundred taels of loose silver, and send it to Qimeng Garden. By the way, tell Xunyi to pass it on in the mansion. From now on, all the treatment for Miss Yuanyuan will be the same as Wenjing from the first wife's house. Miss Yuanyuan is also a lady in the mansion. Just say that this is what I said personally."

"Yes, old lady, I will go right away."

"Madam, young master, Zhang Xiu Niang is here." A maid came in and reported.

"Grandma, Shaowu, take Yuanyuan back to Qimeng Garden." The two brothers took Yuanyuan out of Jishan Hall, turned slightly left, and arrived at Qimeng Garden.

"Greetings, gentlemen and ladies." A middle-aged woman, accompanied by a large group of people holding cloth, walked to the door to greet them.

"Mrs. Zhang Xiu Niang, this is Miss Cai who just returned from our mansion. You must make the dress for her as quickly as possible. Everything inside and outside must be of the best quality."

"Brother, don't be so wasteful."

The eldest brother glanced at Cai Yuanyuan and said, "Mrs. Zhang Xiu Niang, have you brought all the best materials from your shop?"

"Yes, sir, as soon as we received the letter, we picked out the best ones and brought them here."

"Okay, all of you go inside and put them away. I'll let Miss take a good look at them later."

"Yuanyuan, if you like them all, I'll let them do it."

"No, big brother, it's too much. It's a waste anyway. Yuanyuan is still growing and will be taller next year."

"Yes, you see, you only reach my chest now. You will grow taller. I will make new clothes for you often in the future."

"Thank you, big brother." Cai Yuanyuan bowed, and a little woman walked slowly into the courtyard of Qimeng Garden. She had not seen her just now.

"Sister-in-law is so beautiful. Yuanyuan meets sister-in-law." Cai Yuanyuan saluted.

"What a clever sister-in-law! There are so many women in the mansion. How did you know that I was the eldest sister-in-law?" The visitor spoke very gently.

"Because the look in my sister-in-law's eyes when she looked at my brother was so gentle, Yuanyuan was certain that this was my sister-in-law. This kind of tenderness can only come from looking at someone you love."

"You, how old are you? How come you know everything? Wanjing, what are you doing here?"

"Peng Ge was fussy just now, so Wan Qin couldn't come. I just came to pay my respects to Grandma and to visit my sister."

"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. Big brother, you can go back. Yuanyuan can go and measure her size later. Besides, there is Mama Cai who is here to serve Yuanyuan."

"No, my grandmother said we have to do this well."

"Brother, go back and rest. Yuanyuan is not a child, she will do this well. Sister-in-law, take brother back." Cai Yuanyuan pushed her brother and asked him to go back.

"It's just right that your sister-in-law is here. Let her help you choose the fabric. She has a good eye." The eldest brother pulled his sister-in-law into the house.

People were about to enter the house, and Cai Yuanyuan was helpless, but her sister-in-law had a good taste. "Sister-in-law, I like all the Yuanyuans you chose. Thank you, brother and sister-in-law." After measuring the size, she sent those people away.

"All three of you come and meet the young lady." Cai Yuanyuan was sitting in the main hall, and Mother Yan called the three of them in front of her.

"Your servant Ru Yan greets the young lady."

"The servant Zhilin greets the young lady."

"The servant Zhirong greets the young lady."

"Looking at you, you should be about my age. You used to be people around my grandmother, and now my grandmother wants you to work in Qimeng Garden. I know that I have wronged you, but since you have entered the gate of Qimeng Garden and come to serve me, I hope we can cooperate happily. I was not a lady before, but I only keep loyal people by my side, so I also hope that you can serve the master loyally. The Cai Mansion is a big family, but today, I am setting a rule here. Apart from my grandmother, the affairs of Qimeng Garden are not to be known by other ladies. If anyone wants to know something, they can ask me in person, and there is no need to ask you. My inner room is open to the four of you, and no one else can enter casually."

"Don't worry, Miss. They all serve in Jishan Hall and know the rules of service."

"Okay, Mother Yan, from now on, I'll trouble you to worry about everything at Qimeng Garden."

"Don't worry, young lady. This servant will take good care of you. Let, let the old lady rest assured."

"Miss, let me show you the Qimeng Garden. Zhilin has prepared hot water. You can go back and take a bath later." Cai Yuanyuan stood up and followed Mother Yan to look around the yard, "You two don't have to follow me. Let's see if there is anything else that has not been tidied up in the yard." Mother Yan took Cai Yuanyuan and started to walk around, "Miss, this used to be your yard. Over the years, someone has always wanted to occupy this yard. The old lady doesn't allow anyone to touch this yard. She asks someone to clean it every two or three days. She always thinks that one day, you will suddenly appear." Mother Yan began to wipe her tears again.

"Mother Yan, you have been so kind to me. You have been protecting her all these years. My spirit in heaven will know this. Yuanyuan thanks Mother Yan on my behalf."

"Young lady, I was the one who raised you. Although I didn't give birth to you, I was your wet nurse."

"So there's such a relationship between my mother and Yan's mother."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about these things anymore, little miss. This is your piano room. You can hear the sound of your piano playing. Whenever you're unhappy, you'll put the piano in the garden and play. This is your study. This set of four treasures is the same one you used back then. You're also a good painter, but some of your books have been given to you by the eldest lady, and the old lady is a little unhappy about it."

"Mom Yan, is this a portrait of my mother?" Cai Yuanyuan turned her head and saw a folding screen. On it was a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, lively and lovely, a beautiful girl in her prime. The corners of her eyes were like hibiscus, and her cherry lips were like smiling red peonies. Her eyes made you feel that she was right next to you. The whole painting revealed impeccable beauty.

"Yes, this was painted by the old lady when she came of age."

"Mother Yan, please move this place to my bedroom. Yuanyuan wants to stay with me for a few days. Let me know that her daughter is back."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, young lady. I'll have someone move the things over later. Young lady, you should go to bed early today," Cai Yuanyuan nodded. She really felt a little tired. She looked at the three maids serving her back and forth. After taking a bath, Cai Yuanyuan entered the room and found a quilt on the couch. Cai Yuanyuan said that she was already an adult and didn't want anyone to stand guard in the room at night. She watched them move the things out and sat on the bed, looking at the screen with her mother's image. This was her mother's room and it had her breath. Forget it, Lu Yuanyuan was dead, and the one who was alive was Cai Yuanyuan. It would be Cai Yuanyuan from now on. In fact, Cai Yuanyuan's life had already begun.

"Yuanyuan, I am your mother. I am the one who gave birth to you."

"Mom, you came to see Yuanyuan? But mom knows that the person in front of me is Yuanyuan. I believe your daughter Yuanyuan will miss you too." In the dream, Cai Yuanyuan did not lie.

"Yes, mother knows. From now on, you will be Yuanyuan. The real Yuanyuan has turned to ashes. I, as her mother, couldn't keep her. Seeing her beaten to death, my heart aches."

"I know, mother, Lu Yuanyuan also suffered a lot in her previous life."

"From now on, you are Yuanyuan. You are also my daughter. You have my appearance and live in the house where I lived."

"Don't worry, mother. Yuanyuan will honor her grandmother on your behalf and will also avenge her. From now on, Yuanyuan will just be Yuanyuan. As for Yuanyuan, I have already sent her away."

"Okay, from now on you have to be a happy, lovely and happy Yuanyuan."

"Okay, Mom, are you thinking about Yuanyuan?"

"No, I came to say goodbye to you. Yuanyuan had such a hard life before, and I really couldn't bear to leave her. Watching her suffer, but being unable to do anything, it breaks my heart."

The self in front of me, no, the mother in front of me, looked very kind. "Mom, can you accompany Yuanyuan for a while? Just treat it as if you are accompanying your own daughter."

"Okay, this is the last time we will meet. Mother, please lie down with my daughter for a while."

"Mom, do you love him?"

"I love him. I still love him now, but I haven't seen him since we parted more than ten years ago."

"Mom, but Yuanyuan hates him a little. If it weren't for him, Mom wouldn't die."

"Silly child, don't hate him. Giving birth to you was my own wish. It had nothing to do with him. I was the one who insisted on having a child with him. He said we should have another child after we got married, but I knew I couldn't marry him."
