Cousin girl's salted fish life

Chapter 43 Cunning Rabbit
Steward Zhou was not given for nothing, he was ordered to start performing the duties of the temporary chief steward.

Hui Lan continued to work happily as a shopkeeper for a few days, and was taken back to the Duke's Mansion on time on the eighth day of the eighth day of the lunar new year without any delay.

Mrs. Li hadn't seen her niece for more than half a month, so she couldn't help holding hands, "Oh, I lost weight, didn't I eat well, good boy, you have been wronged."

Hui Lan glanced at the fleshy dimples on her hands with a smile, feeling unable to answer the question.It was said that Shishi would lose three points in summer, but she didn't feel it at all.

It is said that she only goes out in the morning and evening in summer, and stays in the room at other times.There are ice bowls, fruits, and ice bowls of chilled plum soup in the room... You don't have to go out to eat, it's more comfortable than an air-conditioned room.

Three meals a day plus fruit snacks for supper, not affected by the weather at all.Not to mention losing weight, Hui Lan felt that her tonnage had skyrocketed.

Fortunately, she didn't need to answer the call.

"The old lady at home misses you all the time. Xiaoqi has been talking about it for several times. You didn't feel it when you were not by my side in the past. When you left suddenly, only my aunt was left to eat alone. I was very upset, so I I miss you." Mrs. Li continued to tell her miss.

Seeing that my aunt was more emaciated than before, Hui Lan also felt distressed, "Don't worry, aunt, I am the oldest in the family, how can I be hungry. Even if I really lose weight, I still think of my aunt.

The aunt is really thin, is it too hot to eat?Then eat more refreshing vegetables and fruits. "

Mrs. Li smiled contentedly, "Why is this child so good at talking? Don't hide it from me. If there is any embarrassment, you must tell it. My aunt comes from the bitter summer, and it is hot every year."

Hui Lan nodded, expressing both concern and curiosity, and asked, "Is Mrs. Tai's birthday lively?"

Mrs. Li had a lot of words to say, and she was talking excitedly, "Many people of the same generation have come here. It's a pity that you are not here, otherwise I would definitely make many friends."

Hui Lan laughed dryly, that's not necessarily the case.

"Madam Tai's natal family, your aunt's natal family, the two aunts must come. There are also many old in-laws, colleagues in the robes, and the juniors brought. Nearly fifty tables were opened, and it was lively all day long. There will be birthday presents on the second day and the third day." Mrs. Li thought that her niece likes to be lively, so she explained in detail. "Everyone close to you asked about you, and heard the old lady say that you were filial and went home to worship your father, and they all praised you. The elders of several relatives and families brought you gifts, and I put them away for you. I'll see you later, you have to thank me. And the Duke of the State, he gave Mrs. Tai a birthday gift, and he also brought you a gift."

Hui Lan was surprised when she heard that her aunt had missed the old lady's family home.But he was still very appreciative and nodded while listening, sometimes surprised and sometimes shy, "When I become filial piety, I will definitely kowtow to the elders."

Mrs. Li is of course very happy that her niece is valued by others.After talking enthusiastically for a long time, he drank a few sips of water and took a breath, "Mother Wang put it away for you. Let's take a look at it when you go back."

Hui Lan smiled and nodded without saying a word. My aunt wasted so much saliva in one breath, so don't ask her to talk, and the best thing is to recharge your batteries.So the two sat and drank tea without mentioning each other, and Hui Lan told Qing Guo to go back to find Mama Wang and ask her to bring the things over.

After a while, Mother Wang came over with the box.Hui Lan took it and let her go back.

"Thanks to my aunt for being considerate for me, otherwise I don't know how much trouble it would be to give gifts to my grandparents." Hui Lan sincerely thanked her.

Mrs. Li said angrily, "Look at what you said, who will you help if my aunt doesn't help you? That is to say, you are still young, and when you divide the yard, I will not care about everything and let you make troubles."

After a pause, he continued, "The stores in Beijing can also start delivering. I've already prepared the items. It's just... Butler Li is the one to send to Chang'an, right?"

Hui Lan nodded, "Uncle Li is a decent person." The big head accepted it, and the small head didn't have to evade it.Hui Lan didn't pretend to refuse, and acquiesced to her aunt helping her prepare the boxing ceremony.

Mrs. Li nodded, "He is indeed a loyal and capable person. Then I will send someone to deliver these houses on your behalf. Chang'an is so far away, but Steward Li will arrive in time, and the appointment is too late. There are not many left on your side." He is a capable person, and he can’t be sent by rough envoys.”

"Don't worry, aunt, Uncle Zhou has already taken care of Zhuangzi's side and entered the city. Now he is the temporary housekeeper at home. Everything is in order, and he can deliver the gifts." Hui Lan said with a smile.After all, they are relatives of the Li family, so it is appropriate for the Li family to send them off.

"Well, I forgot about him. He is also a capable person. He and Steward Li are two people your father used. They are loyal and capable. You should win over them well." Mrs. Li was still worried that her niece was young and couldn't bear it. Please tell her.

Seeing that Hui Lan obediently agreed, Mrs. Li felt relieved.I also asked about the harvest and the daily life at home, and the aunt and nephew talked about the daily routine for a long time.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Mrs. Li really wanted to send her niece back.Then Huilan looked at Kong and said, "Auntie, don't say that I am young. You have to worry about everything from making a gift list to buying things. When I grow up, at most I can make a gift list and things, and buying things is a must. I have to trouble my aunt. Our aunt and nephew, my aunt treats me and my daughter no differently. I will not see my aunt anymore, and I will entrust you with all the etiquette in the future. Please wait until I grow up I'll show my respect to you again. But I can't let you work hard and lose money, then I'm too thick-skinned. Although our Li family is not the uncle's house, it's not really a broken house, do you think so? I didn't Don't meet me, don't meet me." He said while holding the box and handing it to the aunt.

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment when she heard a series of words from her niece, and then she covered her lips and smiled, "It's amazing, you can say so much in one go, it's really a progress."

While talking, he took the box and put it on the table, and pulled Hui Lan to sit beside her.Hui Lan thought she had accepted it, and was pleasantly surprised that things went well, and happily let her aunt do whatever she wanted.

Mrs. Li spoke very frankly, "You, do you think I've been taken advantage of? Our Li family has never had anyone who took advantage of love, but we have never been taken advantage of."

Uh, Cymbidium's black line, aunt, there's no need to be so self-deprecating, I don't think so either.

"Don't worry, I can still underestimate my natal family. Your father has already arranged it and left money for you with me. It's not for food, but for the Li family's favors and gifts. " Mrs. Li didn't stumble, and fell out in a fit of anger.

Cymbidium immediately petrified, right?How much money does the Li family have? Dad, you are a secret agent, right?Looking at the situation, Uncle Li and the others don't know anything about it.
