Cousin girl's salted fish life

Chapter 21
It was just after midnight when we entered Fushouju, and my aunt and nephew got off the bamboo sedan chair outside the yard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, a maid greeted him, saying that the old lady was talking to Qin Niangzi.He was taken all the way into the second room where the old lady lived, and through the curtain, she could hear Qiniangzi's childish voice and the old lady's laughter.

"What are you talking about, mother and Xiao Qi? They are so happy." The maid opened the curtain, and Mrs. Li turned her head into the second room and asked with a smile.

"The second daughter-in-law is here, as well as Hui girl, come sit down and eat some fruit." The old lady was in a good mood and beckoned them to sit down.

Mrs. Li and her niece bowed to the old lady and thanked the old lady. Mrs. Li took Huilan and sat down opposite the old lady.

"Second aunt, cousin." Seventh lady didn't stay on the bed, she tilted her head at each of them, and paused every word.

Hui Lan narrowed her eyes when she smiled, she was so cute, she imitated Qin Niangzi's tone, "Xiao-qi-ye-an."

Seventh Lady blushed and buried her head in the old lady's arms.

The old lady patted her lightly while smiling, "My dear girl, come out quickly, your sister is playing with you."

"It looks like you're only five years old, how can you learn from a three-year-old child, you little rascal." Madam Li said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, pointing at Hui Lan.

Hui Lan stuck out her tongue with a smile, got off the chair, ran to the couch, and touched Seventh Lady's small bag, "Little Seven, sister just likes you when she sees it, do you like sister?"

Seventh Lady had already half raised her head, her round eyes looked at Hui Lan without blinking.

Seeing her look, Hui Lan winked at her pretending to be cute.

"Xiao Qi also likes my sister." Probably because Hui Lan pointed her to her, Qi Niangzi couldn't help but respond.

Hui Lan was overjoyed, and could hardly bear to kiss the little doll. Seventh Lady pushed her in fright, and the two children began to play.

The old lady, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bent over with a funny smile.

Hui Lan took advantage of her little advantage of teasing children, tried her best to coax the little doll into her hug, and the two children talked to each other in childish language.

"Hui'er is really likable. Xiaoqi is always shy and shy. I didn't expect to get to know you so quickly. It's also good. My brothers and sisters have to go to class, and you two are good companions." The old lady was very pleased.

"Hui'er is still messing around, but Xiaoqi and Xiaoqi can play together." Mrs. Li couldn't help laughing.Trying to put on a straight face, pointed at Huilan and said, "I'll be five years old in September, so I can't be lazy anymore."

The implication is that she has to go to school at the age of five. Huilan is glad that there are still three months of probation, which is really a blessing in misfortune.

"Old madam, look at my aunt, she knows how to scare me, Hui'er is so scared, you have to save me!" Hui Lan hugged the old madam's arm, pretending to be pitiful.

Then she hugged Seventh Lady again, "Xiao Qi, look how pitiful my sister is." After speaking, she pretended to cry in Seventh Lady's arms.

Seventh Lady was only about three years old, how could she understand this, she wrinkled her face and looked at Hui Lan and then at Mrs. Li, very conflicted.

The old lady couldn't help but let the servant girl rub her stomach.

"You girl, you're putting on a show." Mrs. Li pointed at Hui Lan, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Hui Lan finally straightened up, smiling wildly, and sticking out her tongue to make a face, which made Qiniangzi laugh too.

Everyone laughed for a while, and finally calmed down.

The old lady wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and beckoned the servant girl to send Seventh Lady to Fifth Lady.

"It's time for your sister to finish school, go and talk to her, loosely, and come to dinner at night." The old lady told Seventh Lady.

Seventh Lady was carried down, and before she left, she was quite reluctant to part with Hui Lan.

"Old lady, this is a kindness from my granddaughter, please accept it." Hui Lan called Madam Wang in and presented a tray.

The tray was picked up by the old mother beside the old lady. It was a box of blood swallows and a white jade statue of the Great Martial Emperor.

Huilan found out that Mrs. Tai in the Duke's Mansion believed in Buddhism, and the old lady loved Taoism.Therefore, a statue of Emperor Zhenwu and a statue of Maitreya Buddha of the same size and material were dug out from the warehouse, and it happened to be given to each person.

The old lady looked at it with a smile and let the old mother take it away.

"Is this your nanny? It looks familiar." The old lady looked at Madam Wang and asked.

"It's Hui'er's nanny, and also the dowry maid of the first mother. She's a personal servant. I think you've seen it before." Hui Lan explained with a smile.

The old lady nodded, but still looked at Mama Wang a few more times.

"Old Madam Rong Bing, the maidservant's maiden name is Guixiang, she is the personal maid of the late Madam, and she came to the mansion with Madam to pay respects to the old Madam." Mother Wang bowed and explained with a smile.

"Yes, you came here with Hui'er's mother. Well, you are a good person. You have served two generations, and it is appropriate. Hui'er has you by my side, and it is reassuring." The old lady suddenly realized, and boasted with a smile Kudos to Mama Wang.

Mother Wang didn't even dare to say anything, saying that loyalty is the main thing, and it's a matter of duty.

The old lady, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were satisfied with what they heard, and they praised her again before letting her quit.

"Good boy, our two families are good friends. I also watched your father grow up, he is no different from my own nephew. If he is old, we martial arts will not be able to rely on him to steer the helm. Alas! The old lady looked at Hui Lan lovingly, and couldn't help but sighed.

This sigh made Hui Lan also look sad.

The old lady quickly adjusted, hugged Huilan and helped her straighten her hair, "Good boy, don't be sad, the old lady is confused."

Seeing Hui Lan nodded, she smiled and said, "Your father was smart and open-minded since childhood, and your mother is also beautiful and intelligent. They are really a good pair. Smartness is born, you don't have to force it. Open-mindedness is a valuable character. Everyone They should all learn. You are their only flesh and blood, and you must learn from your father’s open-mindedness. They have a soul in heaven, and the only thing they hope for is your health, safety, happiness, and happiness, so don’t let them down.”

The old lady urged her earnestly, Hui Lan accepted her sadness, and solemnly agreed with a smile.

Mrs. Li, who was listening, nodded repeatedly, very pleased.

The old lady was also full of relief, "Okay, don't be restrained and don't see outsiders when you live here in the future. The old lady opened the middle door today and let the younger generation come out in plain clothes. face. Good boy, don't suffer yourself!"

Such a cherished welcome, from the master down to the servants in the house, no one can see how much the old lady loves her.At least 80.00% of those tangible and intangible things that are beyond the ability of the aunt will be blocked.

Even the outside of the house will not be ignorant, the value of Daqin's number one martial artist will win her back a lot of respect.

Xiao Huilan may not understand such kindness, but she can't live like a dog as an adult.She couldn't help being grateful, couldn't help but be moved.

"Grandmother, don't worry, my grandson understands, and I will definitely not disappoint my parents, you, and my aunt's wholehearted love." Hui Lan knew that calling her old lady would be too natural, and would make her sad.

The old lady was pleasantly surprised, and nodded in relief, "Good boy, what a smart boy."

After all, she is an adult, Hui Lan yelled crisply.After shouting, I feel embarrassed again, always feel that I have climbed to wealth through the pity of others, and hugged a big thick leg.It's okay to call in private, but it's embarrassing in front of others.

The old lady is old and refined, and Hui Lan's little thoughts can't be seen, she almost burst into tears when she laughed, "What a weird little girl, this person, the most important thing is to be comfortable and happy. From now on, you can call her grandma if you want. , You can call me the old lady, as long as you don’t call me the old lady.”

Hui Lan smiled embarrassedly, and nodded her head in gratitude to the considerate old lady.

The old and the young got bored for a while, and then Mrs. Li said, "Look at mother, I just sat here and ignored me for a long time. Now I only love Hui'er, not the little daughter-in-law. I'm superfluous!"

Hui Lan looked at her coquettish aunt, and smiled like a cat stealing, "Grandmother, the jar of vinegar has been overturned."

Mrs. Li was ashamed and annoyed when she heard the words, and made a gesture to hit her.

The old lady couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly stopped her daughter-in-law, "Okay, my son, mother loves you. Don't play around with children, I have something to ask you!"

Madam Li gave up resentfully, and Hui Lan smiled at her ingratiatingly, in exchange for a pretty roll of her eyes.

"Hui'er brought a few people, is there enough to serve around?" The old lady smiled and asked her daughter-in-law.

"I brought a second class, the daughter of her nanny, and four little girls. I thought about giving her the green fruits around me, and I have served her for a few months, and I am familiar with them." Mrs. Li accepted the joke. , to be honest.

The old lady nodded, "The green fruit is pretty good, let's give it to Hui girl. If there is something missing, I will tell your sister-in-law at night, and I will fill it up tomorrow. There is also a second-class one. I have a narcissus here, a needlework That’s right, let’s give it to Hui girl. I’ll pick four more foster mothers here, and that’s all.”

Hui Lan smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandmother." It is a tradition for elders to bestow gifts on others, and having a girl by the old lady's side is also a guarantee for her, so of course she readily accepted it.

"Hui'er will rely on you for food and clothing in the future, you should have some snacks!" The old lady beat her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Li laughed, "Don't worry, mother, your good granddaughter won't be hungry or cold."

All three of them laughed for a while.
