Cousin girl's salted fish life

Chapter 16 Leaving Home
On May [-], it is fine and suitable for traveling.

Hui Lanmao was dug out of the bed by Ms. Wang at just the right time, and she washed her face and rinsed her mouth.
After cleaning her teeth, she was pressed in front of the dressing table in her pajamas.

A double bun was combed on the head, and two jade-colored cloud-patterned headbands with pearls hanging down were tied to the ears.

Before dawn, Whelan didn't wake up, she saw the beads hanging from her head, she shook her head habitually, the pearls hit her cheeks and ears, it was quite amusing.

After tossing like this, Whelan yawned a lot and was completely awake.

Then he was ushered to the table to eat, early in the morning, Whelan had no appetite at all.There are seven dishes and eight bowls on the dinner table, and it’s not good if you don’t eat.

Looking at the resolute mother Wang, Huilan took a deep breath, picked up the spoon and took a sip one by one.

Almost choking on eating, Ms. Wang and Qingguo Liuya hurriedly patted their backs, stroked their chests, and brought the soup with them.

After drinking a bowl of soup, I finally put down my mouthful.

"Okay, I've eaten everything, and I can't eat any more. You and Liu Ya and the others are also moving, so you have to eat too!" Huilan said sternly, resolutely refusing to eat any more, and asked them to help finish the meal .

Mother Wang had no choice but to invite five maids to join the battle, and finished the table full of food, dim sum and soup.

Whelan applauded them again and again. They did a beautiful job. They did not waste food and strictly followed the customs. It was perfect and auspicious.She laughed that people will be safe, happy, healthy and successful!
After clearing away the dishes, Whelan stood up straight to make a wooden shelf.Mama Wang took two maids to change her clothes.

It is said to be children's clothing produced by the top embroidery workshop, with a goose yellow jacket and a jade-colored chest-length shirt and skirt.Whelan doesn't know the material, but in the early summer season, the tentacles are cold and delicate, and it feels good to the touch, which is not cheap.

Whelan wrapped the laces of the clothes hanging down on both sides and twirled them around her fingers, but Ms. Wang stopped her, saying that they would wrinkle and be impolite.

Whelan didn't care, she was smug in the full-length mirror.She once also dreamed of cosplaying in Hanfu, but unfortunately she had no money, no leisure, no time.

Now she can dress neatly every day and be a beautiful little cutie in ancient costume, Whelan is very happy.

She held up her skirt, turned left and right in front of the mirror, and turned around from time to time, looking beautiful.

Except for the headband, there are only two pearl earrings on the ears, and there are no other accessories.

Huilan felt that she was both immortal and beautiful, slim, refreshing, with a cute smile, so she was not too suitable for summer!
Whelan was so busy with her beauty that she didn't care how long she waited.

At the exact hour of the morning, my aunt brought two mothers, two maids, a dozen servants, and ten carriages to a mighty stop at the gate.Half of the alley was blocked, and the neighbors were attracted to watch the excitement.

Whelan was amazed, my aunt is really generous, and I also know that she will have a lot of luggage!
The aunt and nephew met at the gate, and after a few words, the aunt waved her hand, "Okay, when we get back to the mansion, our mother and I will have a good kiss. The old lady urged me to pick you up after dinner. , the girls and boys didn't go to class, they were all waiting to see you."

Whelan said nothing, the ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws.And she's not ugly, and she's not going to meet her in-laws.

The Duke's Mansion is so flattering, of course she wants to reciprocate.

So Whelan accompanied her aunt to sit and drink tea temporarily in the gazebo in the small garden. Butler Li greeted the nursing home at home and the servants brought by her aunt to carry the luggage and load the car.

The mothers and maids brought by my aunt were also sent to help with Wang Mama and the others.

"The clothes match well, and they are comfortable to look at. The Nishangfang has good craftsmanship. My aunt over there also prepared a few sets of clothes for you to wear at home." Mrs. Li praised Huilan with a smile.

"Thank you, aunt, you are so thoughtful, then I will have endless new clothes to wear in the future." Whelan hugged her aunt's arm and smiled happily.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your new clothes." Mrs. Li was indeed rich and powerful, both of them laughed.

The two drank two cups of tea, talked for a while, and then came to report that everything was packed.

A mother brought by the aunt reported to them articulately: one carriage contained four boxes, and seven carriages were filled.There are three remaining carriages for people, one for the wife and the cousin girl, and two personal attendants for young crops and fruits; three mothers and another big girl Qingcao for one; the other five little girls that Huilan will take with her Sit in one with their own baggage.

Mrs. Li nodded and praised a few words.He also asked Steward Li to guard the house well, pay attention to the door, and report to the Duke's Mansion at any time if something happened, so he led Huilan to get up, ready to set off.

Whelan had no objection, she obeyed the arrangement.I have already said everything I should have said to Uncle Li. If there is anything I missed, I can still pass it on to Mama Wang. They have one day off every month.

At the gate, the girls who wanted to follow were lined up waiting to set off.Butler Li and the people who stayed behind gathered at the door to see her off.

Turning his head to look at the convoy, the driver was ready to go, and the following servants lined up to guard the entire convoy.

In the space between the carriages, several neighbors could be vaguely seen looking over here.

Whelan's eyes were a little hot at first, but suddenly she smiled again.After such a toss today, the neighbors should know that all the valuables of this house have been moved with the girl.There should be no more people trying to get their ideas out of their house. There are still more than [-] people at this door.

Huilan smiled and nodded to the excited and reluctant Li family, and then followed her aunt and was helped into the carriage.

The aunt supported Whelan to sit beside her, and helped her straighten the broken hair on her forehead.After Qingguoqingmiao also boarded the carriage and sat down, about a minute later, the steward shouted to set off, and then the carriage started.

Whelan swayed for a while, quickly raised the curtain, and waved goodbye to the Li family who were looking forward to her carriage.

Whelan bit her lip and wanted to cry, she couldn't bear Uncle Li, she couldn't bear this little family that really belonged to her.

She seldom thinks of the past these days, but at this moment she thinks of when she first came here.Confusion, fear, busyness, sadness, passive coping, exhaustion, until now I am calm and integrated into it.

Uncle Li and Mama Wang played a very important role in melting the resistance and barrier in her heart little by little.

It wasn't until she turned out of the alley that she became flustered that she really realized that she was about to part.Leave Uncle Li who treats her like a daughter, and leave this quiet and peaceful little home.

So Whelan did what a real child would do, and she started crying.

My aunt quickly hugged her and coaxed her, wiping her tears and telling her, good boy, don't cry.

The two maids also handed over the handkerchief anxiously, helping her to rub her back.

Whelan cried for a while, then stopped, her emotions came and went quickly.Lying quietly in the arms of my aunt, listening to her describe her beautiful life in the future.

You can go boating on the lake with your sisters, you can play polo on horseback with your uncle, you can go hunting with your cousins...

Whelan followed her thoughts and began to imagine, and her mood improved a lot.

Until my aunt said, "When you are eight years old, you will be able to live alone in the courtyard. At that time, you will also be filial, and you can go home and live for a few days every month..."

Before she could finish speaking, Whelan suddenly raised her head from her arms, and asked her in surprise, "Really, Auntie? Can I go home and stay here for a few days every month?"

Mrs. Li was so frightened that she forgot what she was going to say, and gave her a white look, "You child, you startled me by surprise. Where did those silly thoughts come from? This is your home, of course you can come back Home. Is it possible that my aunt can still lock you up and not let you go out? It’s a joke, wouldn’t that be like going to jail! There is no one who doesn’t even know his own home and can’t live there, what a silly child!”

"Yeah, long live!" Whelan raised her hands high, shouted excitedly, and revived with full blood.

That's right, she forgot again, Daqin has no such thing as going out of the gate or stepping out of the second gate.Compared with the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the restraint on women is simply open and free!
Mrs. Li was amused by her, and wiped her eyes and nose, "What a child, crying and laughing for a while, he has become a little raccoon slave!"

Whelan had a thick skin and didn't care at all. She drank a glass of water to replenish the lost water.Then I held my aunt's arm and asked about riding a horse, hunting polo and visiting the lake.

The aunt and nephew talked and laughed, and soon the carriage entered Chongrenfang and arrived at the Duke's Mansion.
