He Linwan got closer and found that the two of them were actually playing with ants when they were just squatting under the eaves of the porch.

Although it was sunny today, it was still cold outside, and I didn't know where they had recruited the ants.

The little maid Qiu Nier was a little embarrassed, for fear that the master would think she was playful, so she tugged at the corner of her clothes and explained with a red face: "The slave and maid are all done, and the mother and maid let the slave and maid play by themselves." ”

Chunxiao said to her, "You're so old, and you still like to play with ants?"

Qiu Nier's face turned even redder, "Aunt Rong is amazing, ants listen to her." ”

He Linwan glanced at the nun at night, Aunt Rong?

The nun didn't like to talk much, so she just stood aside and pursed her lips and smiled.

Mama Wang seemed to hear the movement outside, walked out, and saw He Linwan and He Lan coming, so she invited them into the house.

As soon as He Linwan walked into Wei's house, he smelled a very comfortable sandalwood fragrance, not as heavy as other sandalwood fragrances, but with a clear fragrance like lotus flowers.

"The scent of sandalwood is unique. He Linwan said with a smile.

He Lan also nodded, "It smells lighter than elsewhere." ”

Mama Wang whispered: "This incense is newly concocted by Nanrong, saying that it can calm the mind and calm the body, and it is also good for the body. ”

He Linwan asked, "Is grandmother unwell?"

He Lan also hurriedly asked, "Have you invited the doctor to come and take a look?"

Before Mama Wang could speak, Wei's voice came out through the beaded curtain, "I'm fine, but I didn't sleep well last night." Come in and speak. ”

Mama Wang didn't dare to speak, so she only opened the bead curtain and let the two girls enter the second room.

Wei was lying on the couch, reading a scripture book in his hand, and when he saw He Linwan and He Lan coming in, he put down the book and beckoned them to sit down.

He Linwan saw that Wei's face and spirit were fine, if Mama Wang didn't mention it, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to see that Wei's body was unwell.

When talking to them, Wei did not appear sick. asked He Lan how the dowry was embroidered, had she seen the dowry list, and if there was anything missing, she could ask her mother-in-law Du Shi if she didn't understand anything, or come to her hospital to find her.

Although Wei's tone was not affectionate, he also fulfilled his responsibilities as a grandmother, and he was considerate and considerate.

After asking questions, and sitting for a while, Wei let them go back. Today, Wei didn't talk to He Linwan about anything, most of the time he was talking to He Lan.

Mama Wang sent He Linwan and He Lan out, Mama Wang hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help whispering to He Linwan: "Madame didn't sleep until the second half of the night when she thought about the eldest girl last night, and when she got up in the morning, she had a headache. ”

He Lin paused and glanced in the direction of the main house, "I know that my grandmother feels sorry for me." Mama unravels and unravels grandmother, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't worry about me, your body is important. ”

Mama Wang sighed and sent them to the gate of the courtyard.

He Linwan glanced back at the eaves of the porch in front of her, and found that Qiu Nier was still sitting there, holding a sewing basket and playing with a sewing basket, but the nun named Nanrong was gone.

He Linwan asked Mama Wang, "I don't know which nunnery Master Nanrong is practicing in?"

"Nanrong, she doesn't practice in the nunnery now. Mama Wang shook her head, "She is also a hard worker, when her man owed gambling debts and wanted to sell her to pay off the debts, she desperately escaped and fell into the capital, almost freezing to death in the snow." It so happened that the lady came back from outside, and found her lying on the side of the road, so she rescued her, and when she saw that she had nowhere to go, she sent her to the nunnery. However, she later found out that she did not have a wisdom in chanting, but was a little clever in perfume making, so Mrs. let her return to the vulgar and went to her own spice shop to learn how to make incense. She didn't want to marry again, and she was worried that she would be entangled by someone if she was a woman alone, so she simply kept dressing up as a sister-in-law. ”

He Linwan nodded, "I see, so she's the steward of my grandmother's spice shop? I haven't seen her much before." ”

After He Linwan returned to Beijing, he came to Wei's courtyard a lot of times, and the steward in Wei's dowry shop often went into the inner courtyard to talk back, so He Linwan also saw most of them.

Wang Mama said: "Nanrong is more quiet, no matter what the business in the shop, she is only responsible for perfume and incense, and she lives in the countryside on weekdays, so you don't see much." She rarely comes to the house once a year, and she can't stay for a day before leaving. This time I came last night, stayed at Sister-in-law Lan's for a night, and just came to say hello to Mrs., but now I'm afraid I'm gone. ”

He Linwan nodded.

Mama Wang suddenly remembered something, "By the way, the female gentleman who taught the eldest girl at the beginning is quite compatible with Nanrong." ”

He Linwan was stunned when he heard this, "You mean Aunt Ying?

"Yes. Before Aunt Ying came to our house, she lived in the Zhuangzi of Mrs. Niang's house for a short period of time, and it was the Zhuangzi that Nansheng had always lived. ”

He Linwan nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly said, "Mama, I smelled the sandalwood in my grandmother's house just now, I don't know if I can ask my grandmother to give me some?"

Mama Wang smiled and said, "This is just a trivial matter, the slave will send someone to the girl later." ”

Mama Wang turned around and went back, He Linwan said goodbye to He Lan and went back to her yard.

Before He Linwan could walk into the wing, he saw Xiao Huzi and Xiao Mu sneaking back from outside.

The two of them saw He Linwan standing in the courtyard at a glance, Qi Qi was startled, Xiaohuzi quickly hid his hand behind him, Xiao Mu paused, although he looked well-behaved and calm on his face, he didn't dare to move another step here.

He Linwan smiled and beckoned to them, "What are you doing standing?" ”

Xiao Huzi and Xiao Mu glanced at each other, but they still obediently moved over, pretending to stand in front of He Linwan as if nothing happened.

He Linwan looked at them carefully a few times, and finally fixed his eyes on Xiao Huzi, and Xiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

He Linwan picked his chin at Xiaohuzi and asked with a smile, "What are you holding in your hand?"

Xiaohuzi glanced at Xiao Mu obliquely.

Xiao Mu said innocently: "What do you think my sister is asking you?"

Xiao Huzi glared at Xiao Mu, and under the pressure of He Linwan, he had to stretch out his hand and hand the hidden things to He Linwan.

He Linwan took a look and found that it was a small bamboo tube, the two ends were sealed, and she took it in her hand and shook it, it was empty, and she didn't find any clues.

He Linwan looked at the two of them again, Xiao Huzi looked at his nose and nose, and Xiao Mu immediately showed a smiling face.

He Linwan didn't speak, just looked at them with a smile, and slowly a fine sweat broke out on Xiaohuzi's forehead, and Xiaomu's smile became more and more stiff.
