Cousin girl's salted fish life

Chapter 25
Shou'an Hall is a quiet and slightly remote courtyard. There are no bonsai in the courtyard, only two big trees.

The species of Cymbidium can't be identified, only that it is an old tree, and she can't hold the two of them hand in hand.The lush branches and leaves cover half of the yard, which is shady in the scorching heat, and a bit bleak in winter.Hui Lan murmured in her heart.

The gate of the courtyard was called open by Mama Yang, and a not-so-young old mother came out, with silver hair and a dull face, but she moved freely.He respectfully saluted Madam Li and was helped up by her.

Mrs. Li smiled politely, "Mother Zhao, how is grandma?"

Zhao's mother hooked the corners of her mouth and seemed to be smiling, "Mrs. Tai is fine, and Mrs. Er is worried. I don't know why I came here today..."

"Grandma loves to be clean. I shouldn't have disturbed her. It's just that my niece came to the mansion yesterday. I thought she would stay at home forever. It would be impolite not to kowtow to Mrs. Tai, so I brought her here. .” Mrs. Li explained her purpose with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhao's mother turned her head to look at Huilan.

Hui Lan sensed that her aunt was a little nervous, and she had already collected her full attention.Seeing Zhao's mother looking over, she immediately offered a bright smile.

Hui Lan looked in the mirror. She still can't see the future beauty, but her face is gradually rounded, rosy, and she smiles like a small apple. It's not good-looking, but cute is [-]%.

Zhao's mother accepted her cuteness attack, and her stern face loosened a little.He squatted down at her, "The old slave has seen the cousin girl."

Hui Lan turned her side, and it was considered a half-respect, "Mother Zhao, don't be too polite, you are by Mrs. Tai's side, so I don't appreciate your courtesy."

"Courtesy cannot be discarded." Zhao's mother gave her a serious look.

Hui Lan smiled embarrassedly, "Okay, you win."

"Mrs. Tai has also heard that the cousin is coming, and she has already given orders. She is old and impatient and noisy, so she will not see the cousin. Please don't see the cousin, live a good life with your aunt, and spend time with the sisters when you are free. Talking and joking with you is the same as being at home." Mother Zhao's tone was flat, with almost no ups and downs.

Hui Lan bowed her head respectfully to listen to the elder's instructions, her ears twitching uncontrollably.As soon as Mother Zhao finished speaking, Hui Lan immediately squatted down, "I would like to accept the training."

Mother Zhao nodded, but before she could speak, she saw Hui Lan walking to the front of the gate, kneeling on the bluestone road with her skirt up, "Grandson dare not disturb Mrs. Tai's cleanliness, so I kowtow to Mrs. Tai here." After finishing speaking , Kowtow three times upright.

Zhao's mother immediately stepped forward to help her, and Hui Lan stood up with her hand, "This is a little kindness from the younger generation, please give it to Mrs. Tai on your behalf."

Qingguo winked, and quickly offered the small tray in his hand.

Mother Zhao paused, and finally took it, and the little girl took it.

"The filial piety of the cousin is well known by Mrs. There are also gifts for the cousin here." As soon as Mama Zhao finished speaking, a little girl also brought a tray and presented it.

"Thank you Madam." Hui Lan thanked her respectfully, without looking at the contents, Qing Guo also took the tray.

"Thank you Mama Zhao today. The sun has risen, and I will take the child back. Mama Zhao has worked hard to serve Mrs. Tai. The health of Mrs. Tai is the blessing of the whole family." Mrs. Li made a farewell speech.

"I don't dare to be an old slave, but I will serve Mrs. Tai well. The second lady's cousin walks slowly." Zhao's mother became more and more neither humble nor overbearing.

The aunt and nephew then got on the bamboo sedan chair one after another with a smile and walked back.

Hui Lan sat on the stable bamboo sedan chair and was full of thoughts. This wife seemed to be very distant from the younger generation.According to what she heard and what she saw today, this Mrs. Tai lived in isolation.

It's so strange, the serious Mrs. Tai in Fugui Township, her grandson is the head of the family, and it's time to enjoy the blessings and take care of her life.If she came out of the mountain, the old lady would have to take a step back. After all, Mrs. Tai is the old lady's mother-in-law.Why can't you think about guarding the ancient Buddha with the green lamp, living in a deserted way!

Hui Lan thought for a while, and then dismissed the question.

It has nothing to do with her, she dare not be interested in the behavior and history of such an old man.

After all, curiosity killed the cat, and her curiosity is not too heavy.

But Mrs. Tai is definitely not a decoration, let her laugh and keep company with the sisters.The feudal ethics of the Great Qin Dynasty were not so strict, and the normal communication between relatives and juniors was not prohibited.

This was not so much for her as it was for my aunt.After all, according to common sense, Hui Lan should not understand.

Fortunately, Hui Lan secretly rejoiced that she had made up her mind early on to keep a distance from her cousins ​​to reduce troubles.

Otherwise, if there is any sign, Mrs. Tai will probably be the first to take the knife on my aunt, and of course she will not let her go.

Don't look at her being quiet and harmless, quiet and inaction, if her bottom line is touched, she will definitely turn into a fire-breathing dragon and burn Huilan into a piao.My aunt probably won't be able to run away, and she will have to be cannon fodder if she doesn't float.

Hui Lan curled her lips, she was a solo mother, and she hadn't developed this trick at all in the first 30 years.Could it be that in a different era, she would be a joke when she has a wealth of thousands of dollars?

She is so eager to be clean and at ease, how can she have the patience to marry an ancestor to serve and be filial with all the wealth of the family.

Does she look like a sand sculpture? Mrs. Tai really thinks too much, and the marriage of close relatives is too bloody.Hui Lan was extremely disgusted and complained all the way.

Cymbidium has always had a big heart, and before she got there, her mind was seduced by the scenery of red flowers, willows, greenery, singing birds and fragrant flowers.

Coming here and going back are obviously not the same way, Hui Lan looked at the scenery with great interest, and also thought about going down to pick flowers and tease birds and butterflies.

In the end Hui Lan gave up and obediently followed her aunt back to her Qing'an Hall.

Mrs. Li's complexion was a little bad, and it was a little different from the previous radiance.Hui Lan didn't dare to do anything wrong, so she obediently was led into the yard.

The yard was lively, with a dozen or so little girls crowded in the corner of the yard chatting.Mother Liu, who stayed behind, was talking with a mother next to the eldest lady on the porch of the main room.

Seeing them entering the yard, the two mothers greeted them immediately, and the little girls also calmed down and stood obediently.

When Mrs. Li saw Da Furen's mother, she cheered up immediately, with a slight smile on her face.

What a stressful reaction, Hui Lan snickered.

"My maidservant paid homage to the second lady, and met the cousin girl." The mother approached and saluted with a smile on her face.

Mrs. Li kept on stepping and waved her hands, "Mother Zhou is here."

Zhou's mother followed Mrs. Li with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, "Madam ordered the servants to bring some little girls, and ask the cousin to pick them out. Make up for the cousin early, and save the lack of manpower in the cousin's courtyard."

"Well, sister-in-law has a heart." Mrs. Li entered the door, sat in the main hall holding tea and being polite to Zhou's mother.

Zhou's mother heard the words and said a few words of humility for the eldest lady. Seeing Huilan leaning on Mrs. Li's arms and looking at her curiously, her rich face smiled even more attentively.

Hui Lan smiled back politely, and looked at her aunt expectantly.It's good to make a distraction to distract my aunt, so as to save me from sulking.

Even she panicked when she saw that mother Zhao's behavior, let alone the aunt who was beaten by the chief.

Of course Mrs. Li could see her niece's curiosity, she just thought that her child was looking for a new playmate, and immediately ordered Mother Zhou to bring everyone in.

Zhou's mother bowed to promise, but her rich figure was extremely flexible, and she hurried out to attract those little girls.
