"Little grandma, someone came to deliver the letter, but left this one and left. Lancao handed a letter to her.
"You tear it down and read it--you have to try to use the words you have learned-"
The dumb aunt sat lazily on the chair and watched Qian'er Shen'er bathe the little mute girl, not looking at the letter, just instructing.
The bluegrass was demolished.
"When the child is young, the fish god is sacrificed on the warm river. See you or leave you. King of Fish. โ
Lancao read word by word, and finally finished reading.
The little mute girl didn't know how long it had been since she had taken a bath and washed her hair, her dry little body was soaked in a big wooden basin, the hot water was steaming, and a layer of white flowers suddenly soaked on the water surface. asked her to serve the little girl who picked up from nowhere to take a bath, and she was not convinced.
Qian'er didn't smile, opened the dressing box she carried, poured out some petal paste from the porcelain vase and mixed it in, rubbed it with the palm of her hand, and rubbed off a handful of dirt.
After reading Lancao, seeing that the dumb aunt had been silent for a long time, she seemed to be reminiscing in her heart, she couldn't help it, and asked rhetorically: "Tonight, he sacrificed to the fish god on the warm river, what did he mean to ask us to go?"
Liu Wan sat in front of a wooden bench, a pair of small feet soaked in a wooden basin. As soon as he heard this, the monkey got up in a hurry, pounced on it, slipped under his feet, and suddenly slipped on his back to the sky, knocked over the basin, and the water splashed everywhere, and he rubbed his ass and cried.
Lancao and the others immediately surrounded them, ready to support Liu Wan, the wooden basin, and the broom to sweep the water, but the dumb aunt suddenly knocked on the table, and her voice was cold, "Don't help! What should you do?
Ah, Lancao Qian'er and Shen'er all turned their faces to look at the dumb aunt.
"As a man, why did he fall and ask our little woman to help him up?
The three maidens were deeply surprised, stunned in place, Liu Wan was even more surprised and unacceptable, he looked at the blue grass, hated to beg her to help him, he had been living a life of clothes to reach out for food to open his mouth, and now he asked him to get up by himself, how could that be possible?
He simply began to cry loudly, and the cry was sharp and piercing, as hoarse as if he had been killed by a knife.
"Brother Wan-Brother Wan, what's wrong with you?" A figure stumbled into the door, it was the old Uncle Zhong who lived next door, he heard the crying and ran over, and when he came in, he saw Liu Wan sitting on the ground crying with his whole body, crying with a handful of snot and tears.
The ground is so cold, and it's wet again, how can you sit on the water? Old Zhong hurriedly bent down and picked up Liu Wan's little body, helping him wipe his tears while patiently coaxing.
He coaxed for a long time, tired and panting, Liu Wan was still crying and crying, not cooperating at all, his small body was like soft noodles and just slid to the ground again, but several women in this room quietly looked at Liu Wan and cried, and none of them helped or took care of them, including dumb aunts, orchids, shallow children, and deep children, several people watched Liu Wan make trouble, but they were busy with their own work in their hands, as if they couldn't see or hear Liu Wan crying.
"You?" Lao Zhong was almost angry, even if he was old and steady, he couldn't help but feel angry at this moment, and his eyes stared straight at the dumb aunt, "Little grandma," he pressed these three words very solidly, as if he couldn't squeeze water out of them, "Forgive the old slave for saying something that shouldn't be said, we came out all the way to treat Brother Wan'er, but now that he has suffered such a crime, you are watching it, and I am afraid that his body will be even more unbearable." โ
When he said this, Liu Wan cried even more, and while crying, he looked at the dumb aunt with his spare eyes, which meant that he hoped that people would come to coax him.
The dumb aunt didn't seem to see his person's cunzร i, stood up and walked to the bathtub, took the petal paste from Qian'er's hand and wiped it on the dumb girl's small back, while gently rubbing it for her, while kneading the thin little shoulders, there was no love in her voice, "When girls take a bath, men should avoid it, Brother Wan, you are not young, if any of us take a bath in the future, you will automatically go out and wait outside, do you know?"
Liu Wan stopped crying, looked at the dumb aunt, and suddenly asked, "You are my daughter-in-law, why do you want me to avoid it?" Your servant maid is also my subordinate, if I am happy, I can take them into the house casually, why should I avoid them?"
When she said this, several women were dumbfounded.
If these words came out of the mouth of a healthy and graceful young man, maybe the maids would be happy and surprised to accept it, after all, this practice is not uncommon at all, it is a practice that everyone is allowed in this era, and it is not uncommon for rich men to have wives and concubines, but this Liu Wan suddenly announced that he also has the right to have a daughter-in-law like those old and young masters, and at the same time, he also has the right to occupy any maid ring in the daughter-in-law's room at any time, this and this...... Why does it sound a little awkward?
Lancao covered her mouth and smiled.
With a smile, she put a finger of petal paste on the mute girl's ear.
Shen'er simply laughed.
The mute girl hid herself in the water.
Old Uncle Zhong was the first to react, helping Liu Wan to stand up, and at the same time snorting angrily and pointing at the blue grass, "You, you, you are really getting more and more unruly!
"Yes, yes, yes, they all bullied me, they didn't wait for me to soak my feet, the three little hooves teamed up to bully me, only my daughter-in-law didn't bully me, my daughter-in-law is a good person!" Liu Wan shouted loudly.
"Brother Wan, you, you, you, you...... Oh, how can you tell me to say hello!"
Lao Zhong originally protected Liu Wan and accused these female masters and servants of cooperating to bully the little boy, but he didn't expect that in the end, the little boy openly protected his daughter-in-law, and Lao Zhong knew that he was a dog meddling with a mouse, and in the end he offended more than one person, so he simply stomped his feet and walked out of the door.
Liu Wan sat in a puddle of water and looked at everyone with a wolf bรจi.
The dumb aunt suddenly laughed, looking at Liu Wan's little face, "Yes, little Xianggong, I know that I am protecting my daughter-in-law--aha, I am worthy of being my good father-in-law-my lady will repay you well in the future--But you should get up by yourself now, clean up the mess you made by yourself, and from tonight, train yourself to be a self-reliant man, don't be a parasite who relies on little women to serve." โ
"What is a parasite? Why can't I be a parasite?" Liu Wan muttered, but obediently got up, straightened the wooden basin, mixed some hot water and washed his feet, climbed on the kang to get into the quilt, with a flattering look on his face, "Daughter-in-law, am I self-reliant and self-reliant now?"
The dumb aunt watched the dumb girl's dirty half basin of water being poured out by Qian'er, and then replaced it with half a basin of water, and it was another period of scrubbing, and finally pulled out a refreshing and clean little dumb girl from the water.
The dumb girl is similar to Qian'er in age, Qian'er has already prepared her old clothes for her to change, where did the dumb girl wear such good clothes, she didn't dare to wear them, Qian'er forced her to change, and waited for the dumb girl to come out from behind a cloth curtain, looked down at the embroidered shoes on her feet, and then looked at the skirt, Cotton jacket and undershirt, and then touch the new hairstyle that Qian'er combed for her, as well as a jasper hairpin rewarded by the dumb aunt, she looked at everyone with a pair of bright eyes, and suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop, looking at the blue grass kowtow, panicked and the blue grass hurriedly dodged, she kowtowed to the shallow child, kowtowed to the deep child, and finally hugged the dumb aunt's feet, tears flowed from her eyes, and she couldn't say a word in her throat.
The dumb aunt had a deep understanding of how uncomfortable it was to have something in her stomach but couldn't make a sound in her throat, so she got up and pulled the dumb girl up, grabbed her little hands and rubbed them lovingly, and found that after this grooming, the dirty and unkempt little mute girl was gone, and in front of her was a very cute little girl with beautiful eyebrows.
"Dumb girl, we can't keep calling you dumb girl, we have to come up with a name......" the dumb girl muttered. Turning his head to look at the blue grass, "The close-fitting maid rings in the house are all named according to the blue characters, right?"
Shen'er and Qian'er suddenly looked at each other, and the indoor air was about to stagnate.
Shen'er pouted quietly, scolding in her heart for being eccentric, we have been serving you for so long, and we haven't been able to get a name of the Lan character generation, why did this little mute rank up the Lan character generation when he first came? Could it be that in the future, the status will be higher than me and Qian'er, and you will be your personal servant?
Qian'er felt sad and hurriedly lowered her head. Later, there is also a top, the master and servant pay attention to a kind of fate, although this dumb girl came late, but the life of the family is good, and there is weight in the heart of the little grandmother, this is something she can't do.
The dumb aunt was pondering, slowly muttering to herself, "I was born dumb, there are too many children in the family, and my livelihood is so difficult, so I have been blinded by my biological parents, and the road after this is still very long, who knows if life will be bumpy or smooth in this life......? Long, An, yes, it's called Chang'an. โ
"Chang'an?" Lan Cao was slightly surprised, but quickly accepted it and smiled lightly.
"Chang'an!" Qian'er and Shen'er shouted at the same time, and the voice was more of a surprise of relief, as long as it didn't follow the Lan characters, it didn't matter what it was called.
The dumb aunt nodded, "Yes, Chang'an, I will be safe for a long time, I hope it can really be like this." In the future, you can teach her to read, at least she can learn her own name. โ
Qian'er has a lot of contact with the mute girl, and Qian'er is smart, she can already use simple gestures to communicate with the dumb girl a little superficially, she immediately gestured to tell her that she has a name, it was the little grandmother who gave it for her, and she should thank the little grandma.
The mute girl knelt down again and kowtowed respectfully to the dumb girl.
The dumb aunt frowned, "In the future, the work of kneeling and kowtowing between us will be exempted, everyone is equal, why kneel, it makes people feel uncomfortable." โ
Lancao hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, in front of our little grandmother, some false courtesies can be avoided." Little grandma, she sympathizes with our hard work and loves us. โ
The dumb girl stared at everyone with good-looking eyes, although she couldn't understand everyone's words, but she was happy in her heart, she kept laughing, and kept secretly rubbing her clothes, looking like she couldn't put it down.
Seeing that it was not early, everyone put on their clothes and prepared to leave, Liu Wan didn't dare to wait for someone to serve, obediently put on his clothes, put on his shoes, took the hand of the dumb aunt, and asked in a milky voice: "Daughter-in-law, do you think I don't look like a real man now?"
The dumb aunt stretched out a finger and scraped the tip of his nose, "Like, when you see that awesome fish king later, you have to show a little bit of manhood, you have to negotiate a big deal with him on behalf of your daughter-in-law, that pretending man doesn't like to deal with women, and looks down on our little woman, then I will send a qualified man to face him." โ
The group quickly got into a carriage and set off overnight.
Behind him, Lao Zhong and Hu Ma and others rushed out, so angry that Hu Ma grinned, Lao Zhong twisted his ass, this little child's daughter-in-law became more and more difficult to control, and even ran out privately in the middle of the night, it was really lawless. (To be continued.) )
