farmer's wife

Chapter 14 Back to the Door
"Tu Tut Tuk..." There was a knock on the corner door in the backyard of the Zhao Mansion.

"Here it is, who is it?" The gatekeeper opened the corner door, his eyes lit up.

"Yo, it's Miss Shuizhu!"

The eldest maid of the Zhao family, Shuizhu, is beautiful and cold, and the servants and maids in the yard have heard of it. When she was in the mansion, Fu Yan would occasionally go out with Li Nanny to buy some things for the girl, guarding the door. Most of the boys know her.

Hearing that she married a local peasant boy, many servants secretly regretted it.

At first, I thought that she was born with such a good-looking appearance, and she wanted to be a child to the old masters and young masters. If I had known that she was willing to marry us little people, I should have asked the old master and wife for a reward.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

"Who are you?" The gatekeeper glanced at Xiao Lie who was beside Fu Yan, comparing secretly.

He is quite tall, standing on the side with a serious face and a smile, he looks quite energetic, but he is a poor boy in a rough homemade farm coat.

"Brother, I'm coming back to visit Miss Xia today, please pass it on to Nanny Li."

Fu Yan was polite, glanced at Xiao Lie, and hinted at him.

Xiao Lie also knew about human relationships.

He took out a small cloth bag and stuffed it into the servant's hand, "I'm sorry."

The little servant was stunned. It was estimated that there would be around [-] Wen, enough for a drink, so he said with satisfaction: "Okay, you wait, I'll find someone to inform Nanny Li."

After finishing speaking, the boy turned around and closed the corner door again.

"Brother Alie, when Nanny Li comes out, I will go in with her to visit Miss. You..."

Men are not allowed to enter the inner house at will, and Xiao Lie and his identities are not official enough to pay a visit.

"It's okay, you go. I'll take Ah Jian to the pharmacy to get the medicine first, and I'll wait for you outside this door in an hour. Let's go to the government office to register together."

"Then it's settled. I'll come out in an hour."

"Don't worry, I'll just wait for you."

They were discussing, the door opened again, and Nanny Li walked out quickly.

"I heard that you are coming, so I'll come right away. Come on, come in with me, the lady is waiting for you!" Nanny Li pulled Fu Yan over and smiled affectionately.

"Mother Li." The Xiao brothers greeted each other.

"Hey, how are you all? This is Xiao Jian, she's so big." Nanny Li lovingly touched Xiao Jian's little head.

Xiao Jian was a little shy, but she stood obediently.

"Mrs. Li, you came in a hurry. These are the rabbits and pheasants we hunted in the mountains yesterday, as well as some wild vegetables and mushrooms. They are all fresh, so don't hold them back."

Seeing Xiao Lie coming over with a basket of food on his back, Li Momo refused: "It's fine if you come, if you bring anything, take it back quickly. It's only good that you treat us Fu Yan well."

Fu Yan also hugged Nanny Li's arm affectionately, "You can take it, Mammy, I will add some food to the sisters, and share these pastries with everyone. There are not many things, and they are not worth a few. Money, but our hearts."

Nanny Li has nothing to do with the coquettish Fu Yan. After getting married, everyone is lively and seems to be doing well.

She has seen a lot of good things, these are not worth a few dollars, but the children's true feelings.She didn't refuse anymore, and hired a servant to carry all the things to the back kitchen.

"Then let's go in, don't keep the girl waiting for too long."

"Well, I haven't been separated from the girl for so long, and I miss her too."

Watching Fu Yan and Nanny Li turn around and enter the mansion, Xiao Lie picked up Xiao Jian and went to the West Market to buy medicine.

Walking through the corridors and corridors that are still familiar, she is still familiar with the courtyards everywhere in this mansion, but her mood is different.

Walking into the Luoxia Courtyard, Zhao Yunyan was still leaning on the couch to read a book as in the past.

Fentao was promoted from a second-class maid to a first-class maid, taking over from Fu Yan to serve Zhao Yunyan personally.

Seeing Madam Li leading Fu Yan, who was dressed as a woman, into the courtyard from a distance, she reported to Zhao Yunyan early on, and opened the door curtain to wait for them.

Zhao Yunyan put down the notebook in his hand and waved to Fu Yan.

Fu Yan tacitly held her hand as usual, and sat on the small stool before the collapse.

Zhao Yunyan looked at her carefully, and rolled up her woman's hair in a bun, her complexion was rosy and bright, she also painted her eyebrows and lipstick, and every frown and smile showed radiance.If she was an undecorated narcissus before, now she is a peony in full bloom, strong and gorgeous.

"Seeing my sister's style, I know you are doing well."

"Yes, sister, don't worry about me. The family is good, and the people are good..." When mentioning Xiao's family, Fu Yan smiled crookedly.

"Then I'm relieved."

"When are you leaving for Beijing?"

"Madam said that I will leave on the second day of April in five days. Everything in the house is almost settled."

"Okay, the journey is tiring, my sister must take care of her health on the way."

"There are Nanny Li and Fentao here."

"Nurse Li is very considerate, I'm the one who is just worrying about it."

"You worry about me, it's too late for me to be happy."

"By the way, I brought you the spicy diced rabbit that I made. It's convenient to eat on the road, and it can also whet your appetite when you don't have an appetite."

Fu Yan handed the small bundle to Zhao Yunyan, Zhao Yunyan happily took it, opened the wrapped oil paper, and couldn't wait to taste it.

"Hiss~ This is the taste, spicy and refreshing! It's delicious! Mother Li, please keep it safe for me."

Nanny Li looked amusedly at the young lady who was also being led with a little more liveliness, and took the small burden to put it away.

"Tell me about your life in the Xiao family." Zhao Yunyan was a little curious.

Fu Yan then told her about the excitement of wedding banquets in the countryside, how well-behaved little Ah Jian was, and what she had heard about picking in the mountains.

Zhao Yunyan stayed in the backyard all year round, listening fascinatedly, "That's great."

"Yeah, live freely, you really don't have to worry about me."

"I'm not worried. You've always been smarter than me, so I don't worry about you."

As they talked, the two laughed and laughed together, and even read the storybook together for a while.

The two sisters were chatting, and the time passed in a flash. Li Mama came to remind Fu Yan that Xiao Lie was already waiting outside the mansion.

This time we are really going to separate, and we don't know when we will see each other again.

Zhao Yunyan reluctantly pulled Fu Yan, "I will write to you when I return to Beijing and settle down."

"Okay, I will reply to the letter too. You have to take care of yourself, those people in the backyard, you should also be careful on weekdays..."

"Hmm! I understand everything..."

A banquet in the world.

In the end, Nanny Li sent Fu Yan out with slightly red eyes.

Seeing Fu Yan with his head down and the corners of his eyes turning red, Xiao Lie became anxious, "What happened? Don't cry, tell me everything."

"It's okay, it's just a little sad to say goodbye to Miss." Nanny Li patted Fu Yan's shoulder to comfort her.

"Nurse Li should also take good care of her health, let's go."

"Go."

After solemnly bidding farewell to Nanny Li, Fu Yan followed Xiao Lie and left step by step.
