Rebirth of the Unruly Little Demon of the Boliang Guard

"Young Madam, it's getting late. You should go to bed. You still have to pay your respects to the Madam and the Old Madam tomorrow."

"That's good. My throat hurts a bit from talking so much with them."

"I'll go and tell the kitchen to cook you some stewed pears with rock sugar." After Qingqing said this, she went outside to tell the maid.

The night was very quiet, with a gentle breeze. The moonlight poured in through the window and reflected on the woman's peaceful little face.

The next day, Lin Li went to pay her respects to the eldest lady, but Miss Meng had arrived earlier and was already in the house having breakfast tea.

"Oh, what wind brings you here?" The eldest lady sat on a chair in the main hall, wearing jade bracelets with her hands on her knees, a string of conspicuous white pearls hanging around her neck, her face was rosy, but there were fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

In her previous life, Lin Li slept until noon every day and never came to pay her respects. Even though she was the daughter of a concubine, she did not take the eldest lady seriously. She was as arrogant as her deceased mother.

Lin Li bowed slightly, "Madam, I was ignorant before, please forgive me."

In fact, in her previous life, the eldest lady treated Lin Li well, at least she never mistreat her. Lin Li lost her mother at a young age, and the eldest lady took extra care of her. When Lin Li was little, she cried and refused to sleep at night, and it was the eldest lady who coaxed her to sleep. When Lin Li reached the age to get married, the eldest lady also did her best to choose a husband for Lin Li.

When Lin Li was getting married, the eldest lady even begged her family members to ask the emperor to revoke his decision. How would such a delicate and weak young lady survive if she was married in such a place? However, her family members had little influence and were not valued by the emperor, so how could they offend the emperor for an insignificant person?

The marriage was a foregone conclusion and no one could change it. In the end, they had no choice but to prepare a generous dowry for her so that she could marry in style.

Unfortunately, Lin Li was ignorant and took other people's kindness for granted. She insisted on marrying the eldest young master, did things that were damaging to the family's reputation, and was disrespectful to the first lady, which really hurt her feelings.

After being reborn, Lin Li wanted to correct her mistakes and respect and love the eldest lady as if she were her own mother. All the brothers and sisters in the Lin family were good to Lin Li, but Lin Li was too stupid to tell the difference between good and evil.

"Alright, alright," the eldest lady beckoned Lin Li to her side, "You were young and ignorant before, so I won't mention it. Now that you've grown up, you should be sensible."

Now Lin Li is fifteen years old and has reached the age of marriage. If Lin Li likes someone like his elder brother, then he can choose a man like that for her, or someone who can lead troops to fight.

She also needs to learn the rules. When she goes to her husband's house, she has to take care of her husband and children. The rules must not be broken. She is a little willful, but also simple, and she is afraid of being bullied when she goes to her husband's house.

"I understand, Madam."

Nanny Li brought a stool over and asked Lin Li to sit next to her. The old lady took Lin Li's hand and said earnestly, "The old lady will be back in a few days. Don't make her angry again. The old lady is in poor health and can't get angry."

The old lady is a vegetarian and chants Buddhist scriptures. She went to the temple to pray a few years ago. Now she is old and sick, and she wants to return home to enjoy her remaining years.

First, Lin Li's mother caused unrest in the Lin Mansion. Relying on the favor of Master Lin, she became arrogant and complacent, not caring about her master's face. She either beat or scolded the maids in the mansion, and liked to take advantage of others without any loss.

The old lady was a person who paid great attention to etiquette and she couldn't stand such people the most. The two of them just didn't get along and she was so angry that she had a heart attack all day long. Finally, she went to Mount Wutai.

"Madam, don't worry." Lin Li accidentally saw the bracelet on Qingqing's hand. It was a gift she gave to Miss Meng. Miss Meng was very kind to her maid.

~~

After sitting with the eldest lady for a while, Lin Li and Miss Meng left the eldest lady's yard. Lin Li walked behind them and heard their conversation.

Qingqing held up an umbrella and said, "Madam, this morning, the Third Miss sent two pairs of boots over, saying they were birthday gifts for Xie Yu, and she picked them out herself."

"She is thoughtful. If she hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that the day after tomorrow is Xie Yu's birthday." Meng Ranyue frowned and touched the tip of the pen with her handkerchief. "Put the things away and don't let Xie Yu know. Just pretend that nothing happened. She is about the same age as Lin Li, and father should consider her marriage."

It turned out that Xie Yu's birthday was coming soon. He and Meng Ranyue were destined to be together, but he only had one idea in his mind: what gift should he give him?

She hurried back to Qingyayuan and took out her sewing box, only to find that she had never learned how to embroider or sew clothes. At that time, she wanted to sew an undershirt for Xie Yu herself, because it felt different to see him wearing only an undershirt, and if she gave him such a personal item, he would definitely remember her kindness.

But there is a problem ahead. Lin Li doesn't know what size Xie Yu's clothes are. Plus, the day after tomorrow is his birthday. Slow work produces fine results. Can it be finished in such a short time?

The important thing now is to get the information about Xie Yu's clothing size from the butler. Every year, the master and the maids in the mansion will receive a new set of clothes, so it would be right to ask the butler, as the size must be in his book.

Lin Li didn't know many words, but luckily Yuzhu beside her could read. Her father was a tailor in his early years, so Yuzhu knew a lot about this.

Taking Yuzhu to find the housekeeper, Xiao Si, who was cleaning, came back: "The housekeeper is out of the house on business and should be back in the evening. If the young lady has no urgent business, the housekeeper will go to see the young lady and listen to her instructions when he comes back."

"I don't have anything important to do." Lin Li was about to leave when she thought of something else. "I'll come back in the evening. Let the housekeeper wait for me."

The housekeeper is in charge of all the big and small matters in the mansion. No one else will know where the housekeeper puts the book, and the housekeeper will not carry the book on him. The matter of finding the size cannot be known to too many people and needs to be kept secret.

The graceful lotus flowers are all in bloom, rising above the mud without being stained. The lotus leaves are dotted with light pink lotus flowers, complementing each other, and the flower buds are about to bloom.

On the path across the pond, a group of children were playing and chasing dragonflies and catching butterflies. In the pavilion not far away, Miss Meng, wearing a turquoise dress, was painting.

Meng Ranyue's painting skills are excellent, comparable to those of other painters in the palace. The emperor even intends to recruit her into the palace as a female official, but she falls ill at a critical moment and is bedridden.
