Cousin girl's salted fish life

Chapter 4
The next day, Whelan woke up naturally after falling asleep.The first seven days have passed, those masters and Taoists can retire, and the mansion has finally returned to tranquility.

Whelan got up and had breakfast, and went to the mourning hall to burn paper and burn incense before going to see the elders.

First, I went to the courtyard where my uncle and aunt lived. After asking Ann and saying hello, I was hugged and sat on my lap by my aunt, looking across the table from my uncle.This is the posture of a long talk, Whelan cheered up.When my aunt was concerned about whether she was sleeping well or eating well, she answered everything seriously.To tell the truth, she ate well and slept soundly, and felt that her body was stronger. The only regret was that she couldn't eat meat, but this was as it should be, and she accepted it well.

The aunt expressed her satisfaction, and then the uncle took his leave.They arrived on the night of their father's death, brought a dozen or so family members, and stayed for seven days.In addition to helping with the funeral, this is also supporting her, and there is no trace of crossing the line.Otherwise, she is a little girl over four years old, why should none of these old servants steal and play tricks.All this cannot do without the support of my uncle and aunt. Whelan is not a real child, so she is very grateful.

"We are close relatives. Uncle sees in his heart that you are the same as your cousins. Originally, he thought that in case your aunt was inconvenient, he would take you back to Guanzhong. So he brought more people. Now Now His Majesty has issued an edict to confer title of Liupin Township Monarch on you, and appointed your aunt and uncle to raise you. Your aunt and uncle are not troubled, they love you very much, we have nothing to worry about."

The aunt nodded approvingly, "My aunt really loves Hui'er. I'm also a mother, so I won't make a mistake."

Whelan nodded affirmatively, her aunt really treated her like a child.

The uncle also nodded in approval, "This township lord is not considered a noble, but it is the best guarantee for you. Your Majesty is very kind, Hui'er must remember it in his heart."

"Yes, Huier dare not or forget." She is a girl doll, she has no credit for a dime, no matter how open this place is, it should not be as good as modern times. It is not easy for modern girls to get ahead, let alone now.If she is really a duke and earl, then she is tied to the Shenzhou, and she can only go to heaven.

"I don't know what's going on with your grandfather's and uncle's illness at home. It's not a long-term solution for your eldest aunt to be busy all by herself. It's already February [-]th, and it will be March when we go home. .The spring plowing is just around the corner. The plan for a year lies in the spring. I have to go back and take care of it.”

Food is the most important thing for the people, spring plowing is very important, and it is also a right thing for my uncle to go back.Whelan couldn't say anything more, but said earnestly, "The health of my grandfather and uncle is indeed worrying, and spring plowing is also a major event that cannot be delayed. But it is still cold outside, and the long journey is even more tormenting. Don't worry, uncle and aunt. Food and clothing are all ready before leaving, and it will save the inconvenience on the way and make people feel wronged."

Uncle's face was moved when he heard the words, and auntie also tightened her arms, "Our Hui'er is really a good and sensible child, we are so filial and considerate at such an age, and we are so considerate."

"When we came here that year, the child was only two years old, and he still couldn't see anything. Now that he is less than five years old, he is so sensible, reasonable, filial, and considerate. No wonder my brother-in-law wrote that Huier was smart, and I thought he was boasting." The uncle first smiled in relief, and when he mentioned his father, he hid his smile and sighed deeply.

"Good boy, we can rest assured that you are so smart and sensible. In the future, every year and festival, your birthday, your parents' memorial day, and important events in the Duke of Zhen's mansion, we will send people to visit you and give gifts along the way. Don't you We won't leave you without someone to rely on." The uncle said solemnly, and the aunt echoed repeatedly.

Whelan couldn't help but get red eyes, what a family member.Even if she has money, a house, a field, a store, and a title, she is still just a little girl under five years old.Money touches people's hearts, without the power and support of the Zhen Guo government, without the constant care and care of her uncle's family, how can she live in peace and ease.

So she didn't care about hiding her clumsiness and pretending to be stupid. It was her meager filial piety to show a little bit of wisdom to make them feel at ease.

"Your house is busy these days. When we came, we brought you some clothes, furs and other items and didn't take care of them. You went back and sent a few women to carry them back. They were all prepared by your first aunt and second aunt. It’s just what’s needed.” The uncle talked and went to see the aunt, and the aunt called for the only mother she had brought with her.She brought in a black lacquered wooden box and put it on the table in front of her aunt before leaving.Seeing the wooden box again, this box was painted black and gold, it was prettier than the ones she had seen before.Whelan's eyes lit up, it was definitely her dream jewelry box.

The wooden box was only the size of an adult's palm, and my aunt lifted the lock, and inside were ten small silver ingots neatly stacked, each two fingers long and one finger wide, small and exquisite, very cute.You can vaguely see a layer of yellow underneath, the same size.The money fan Huilan's eyes were wide open, and she gritted her teeth tightly to hold back the exclamation that was about to blurt out.This is money, money, money, she, a social animal who is struggling with food and clothing, dares to imagine these things only in her dreams!

Fortunately, she kept her head down and was short, so her embarrassing expression was not seen.

"These are for your pocket money, 20 taels each for gold and silver." Her aunt's voice dragged her back from the sky, and she couldn't help reaching out to touch her lips. Fortunately, there was no haha, and her old face was preserved.She raised her head and looked at her aunt respectfully, not daring to look at the source of evil on the table again!

"Under the gold and silver are 1000 taels of silver and the name stickers of our father and son, which were given to you by your grandfather. Good boy, don't refuse. You will live in the Zhenguo Mansion in the future. After all, we are far away. What do you have? If you need money urgently and it’s inconvenient for others to know about it, you can move the money. If there is an urgent matter, you can send us a letter with a name sticker.” Uncle raised his hand to stop her plan to speak, and let the words come to this point , she can only be grateful.

"Uncle has already said that, Huier has nothing more to say. I am young now, and I can only pray that my grandfather, uncle and aunt are in good health and everything goes well in Yanjing City. When I grow up in the future, I will be filial to all elders. .” Whelan said with sincerity.

The uncle and aunt were moved, and said some thoughtful words, and finally explained that she could send letters through the Civil Letters Bureau if she had something to do.The gifted house should be cleaned up as soon as possible, and the house should also be cleaned up. After July [-], we should move there as soon as possible, so as not to delay the time and cause trouble.

Whelan obediently responded one by one, and stayed for half an hour before returning.She also had to visit her aunt who stayed overnight last night, it was too late and disrespectful.

The black lacquered wooden box that she favored was naturally carried by her eldest maid, Liu Ya, who was 12 years old, who followed her out.The box was petite and heavy, and she definitely couldn't hold it by a pudding.

Let Liu Ya take the box back to her room and put it away, and then go to find her mother, that is, Mama Wang sent a few people to the uncle's yard to carry the things that her mother's family gave her, and then went to the aunt's yard to find her.

Liu Ya listened carefully to each item, and then told Liu Ye, another maid who was about the same age as her, to take good care of the girl, and then she bowed and left.
