But I saw a few sturdy men carrying two cabinets and already standing in the corner courtyard, rubbing their hands with frost pain, and asking where the medicine cabinet was placed?

Shen'er couldn't be the master, so he ran to ask in a panic.

Several women in the room looked at each other, looked at each other, orchids and orchids looked at each other, and asked each other in unison: "Is it the cabinet you want? What do we want so many cabinets?"

After speaking, Qi brushed and looked at the dumb aunt, they didn't ask for it, so it was the little grandmother who wanted it herself.

Through the door curtain, the dumb aunt saw that there were two rectangular cabinets that were full of people, painted dark red, and there were small drawers on one side, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to rub her eyes.

Before everyone understood what was going on, they saw the dumb aunt bowing slightly towards Bai Ziqi, and there was a faint expression on her face, which she couldn't see the joy and anger, as if she was smiling, and nodded to the orchid next to her.

Orchid obediently took the first step to spread out a piece of paper, and the dumb aunt gently wrote a line of words, "It's so thoughtful, thank you." ”

Bai Ziqi was originally in the previous embarrassment, but now after reading these three words, he relieved himself, and wrote with a smile, "A good horse with a good saddle, so many medicinal materials, how can you store them without a good cabinet, I just do my best to do my best." ”

Only then did everyone understand that it was Cousin Bai who sent the medicinal herbs, and then ordered someone to send two medicine cabinets.

The dumb aunt wrote the orchid by hand, and the cabinet was brought in and placed in the bedroom.

Orchid looked at the front and back, this room was not big, that day the housekeeper lady was equipped with a lot of furniture and utensils to enrich it, now put two more cabinets, will it be very crowded?

Bai Ziqi visually inspected the ground and felt that it was too narrow, "Let's put it in the Yahuan room." There are medicinal herbs in the bedroom, and there is a smell of medicine. ”

Orchids and orchids looked at each other, a look of embarrassment, this corner courtyard was not a remote courtyard that was ready to live in, and then married a child and raised a daughter-in-law, and just picked it up and stuffed it in, only two rooms, one made a new house, and a small side room next to it, there was already a large pile of charcoal fire underground, and there were three maid rings, and these two big cabinets could not be stuffed in anyway.

A few people hesitated for a long time, and it seemed that they could only carry it in and put this bedroom for the time being.

Bai Ziqi was busy directing his subordinates to carry the cabinet, how to place it, how to furnish it, and was busy doing his best, while secretly blaming his aunt and uncle in his heart, those two people really did things desperately, so many people lived in a palatial courtyard, but they married a little girl and threw it into this cold palace-like place, it seems that they didn't plan to treat this little girl as a person at the beginning.

He felt guilty for his aunt and uncle, peeked at the dumb aunt, and found that she had a calm face, as if she didn't feel anything wrong at all, and when the cabinet was set, she instructed Yahuan to move the medicinal herbs in and put them in the cabinet.

Shen'er shallow orchid orchid bag by bag to hug, here the dumb aunt has already listed a list, he took a look, it turned out that she arranged the medicinal materials according to the classification of drugs, Bai Ziqi's grandfather likes to dance guns and sticks to go hunting, sometimes it is inevitable to scratch the skin and suffer a little injury, so some drugs are necessary, Bai Ziqi served his grandfather, naturally he has also been exposed to some basic drugs and pharmaceutical knowledge, he looked at the past and found that the loading procedure on this list was not arranged randomly, not only considering whether it is commonly used, but also taking care of the requirements of drug storage conditions, and the drugs that are easy to string taste are stored separately。 At the bottom, the heavier herbs are stored, and the lightest ones are stored at the top.

Bai Ziqi was quietly surprised, it seems that this little girl really knows a little bit of medicine, what happened before, including delivering babies and treating her aunt, some of which he didn't see with his own eyes but just heard about it, and some of them only saw a superficial phenomenon, including the list of medicines she prescribed, he asked Mr. Pharmacy to see it, saying that it was all tonic medicinal materials, and it was impossible to see whether a person knew medicine or not, and there was no chance to really study whether she understood medicine, but today only with this order of medicinal materials, he saw that she was not a person who knew anything about medicine, at least she knew a little about medicinal materials。

Orchid took the same list and loaded the medicine into the bucket, Bai Ziqi was not idle, wrote a small note with a brush, and then personally led someone to the kitchen to make batter and rice, a few rings to put a drawer, and he pasted a note outside, so that it was very convenient to find medicinal materials in the future, and he would know what medicinal materials were inside at a glance.

Liu Yan has opened his eyes today, this handsome cousin, who has always been gentle and elegant and arrogant, is as busy as a subordinate in this corner courtyard, and more importantly, he seems to be very happy and enjoyable to do this, completely because he is willing, and he makes a little joke with Xiaoyahuan from time to time while doing it, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.

What's even more strange is that this little mute child daughter-in-law, she has always just used the pen to write and direct others to work, she sits peacefully, and the maid is just waiting for her, so handsome and handsome Cousin Bai is busy running before and after, she is not panicked at all, as if calling this man is a matter of course.

When did this, this, this corner courtyard become like this? And the girl ring called Orchid, how did she become so diligent and obedient, that day she clearly saw this little girl ring openly stealing and eating the master's things, and she was ashamed to insult the master while eating.

Bai Ziqi originally liked to laugh, and while working at this time, she made the four girls giggle, especially that Qian'er, who looked stupid and didn't have any scheming, laughed when she teased, although the others were also very reserved with the corners of their mouths, but Bai Ziqi deliberately wanted to have a good relationship with them, and after a while, their reserve was all forgotten behind their minds, and several people surrounded a white-robed young man, who was really a warbler and a young man.

Cousin Bai really did everything, everything was considered, except for the cabinet of medicinal materials, and after a while, the little guy sent a small medicine scale, a stone mortar for pounding medicine, and even the stone pestle was prepared.

Liu Yan glanced at the little mute who sat quietly and watched everyone load medicinal herbs, and said in her heart that after all, she was a crippled person, she couldn't laugh, she could only sit dry, it was okay for a while, if a person lived in a world like this all her life, wouldn't it be very pitiful and lonely? How could her expression be so peaceful and tranquil? Is she used to being silent alone, or is she mentally disabled, and she doesn't know that there are so many troubles in life at all?

Liu Yan got up lightly, preparing to leave, he seemed redundant here.

The dumb aunt didn't stay, followed Liu Yan to get up, sent her out, went down the steps, and suddenly the dumb aunt stretched her palm, and a folded square rice paper was revealed, Liu Yan was surprised, and said in her heart that she would ask me to go to the corner courtyard for a trip, and it turned out that I really had something to say.

Liu Yan was about to unfold and look, suddenly two little hands pressed over, gently pressed her hand, and patted her hand lightly on the back of her hand, the little face suddenly smiled at her, nodded, pointed to the door, and told her to go.

Liu Yan felt a little dazed in his heart, the palm that suddenly opened, the rice paper tightly held in the palm, the smile that suddenly appeared, the little hand that slapped himself, this qiē, seemed to have been arranged for a long time, and it seemed to be just a small thing that happened randomly in an instant.

She didn't know why she was willing to come here with the invitation of the little girl, maybe she was depressed in her heart, and wanted to come out to relax and breathe, but even if she was to relax and breathe, wouldn't it be better to find someone who could talk, a person who was deaf and dumb, could he tell her about the sadness in his heart? I really can't tell, anyway, I came.

Come and come, leave and leave, it seems that you will go this trip in person, and the final result is this small piece of rice paper in the palm of your hand.

Passing by the middle courtyard, Liu Yan couldn't help but take a few more steps to the front yard, there was no one in the courtyard, she bypassed the big stone screen carved with the pattern of pine cranes extending the years, the screen stood quietly, she secretly peeked in front of the screen, there was the gate. The gate of Liufu naturally symbolizes the status of Liufu on the ground of Lingzhou Mansion, the gate building is tall and magnificent, and the brick carved beast head eaves squatting high in a high place.

Today, the gate was opened, and the chubby figure of Steward Liu was in the crowd, directing everyone to hang red lanterns on the eaves.

It's going to be the New Year, so it's natural to dress up for some festive atmosphere.

Liu Yan looked at the lanterns hanging to the high place one by one, once, she liked to see the hanging lanterns so much, at that time hanging thin and soft pigtails, carefree and smiling and running, no one restricts where she wants to go, often run to the gate to play, since growing up, it is not good, the gate can not go out, the second door can not step, can only obediently stay in the boudoir embroidery, and spend a lot of years on those fine and complicated female red.

This may be the last time she sees the red lantern in Liufu, and she will be the concubine of Zhang Hanlin's family after the New Year.

She suddenly smiled bitterly.

The wind became stronger, and the lanterns fluttered in the wind, and the shadows that shook red in front of them shook in front of them.

She leaned against the screen, it was cold, the stone of the screen was hard and cold, and soon her thin clothes were soaked with cold, and she trembled and unfolded the page of hot rice paper, and what would the little mute write on it?

All the people advised her to do so.

She was tired of hearing and her ears were numb.

If you don't accept your fate, what else can you do?

The faint white, with a small line of black letters on it, not a good word, is arranged crookedly.

Word by word jumped into his eyes and reflected in his heart, Liu Yan slowly rolled up the paper, and his body tightly pressed against the thick screen.

The wind blew behind the screen, which was so tall that it could only be slammed on it, making a small crackling sound.

Liu Yan raised his eyes to look into the distance, and it seemed that there would be another heavy snow around the end of the year, and the sky was about to change.

In the corner courtyard, Bai Ziqi was finally busy, there was already an orchid carrying a feather duster for him to gently flick off the dust on his body, waiting to wash his hands, Bai Ziqi was just about to dip his hands into the water, the dumb aunt took his own hands, dug out a spoonful of light red paste from a small porcelain jar and turned it into the water, the water suddenly emitted a faint red, and a faint fragrance was faint.

Bai Ziqi was stunned.

"Plum petal paste, our little grandmother specially mashed and pickled with freshly picked petals on the plum tree, with a few flavors of traditional Chinese medicine, moisturizing the skin, smooth and delicate, can be used by both men and women. Please rest assured that Cousin Bai should clean his hands. ”

A timid voice, warm and moist, cool and clear, just like a drop of plum petal paste that has just fallen into the water.

Bai Ziqi couldn't help but turn his head to pay attention, but when he saw that it was bluegrass, he smiled lightly, this little girl is special, today he made several little girls giggle, she is always reserved, even if she laughs, she covers her mouth and is quietly happy.

Lan Cao saw that the work of dusting up close to the body was preempted by Orchid, and she was envious and uncomfortable in her heart, and if she continued to retreat shyly now, she was afraid that Cousin Bai would only recognize Lan Hua alone in her eyes, so she had the courage to say this.

This sentence worked well, Cousin Bai glanced back at himself, and the orchid stared at him angrily, hum, the orchid is not afraid.

So what about the little grandmother, will she be unhappy?

Peeking in a flash, the little grandmother was looking at her and nodded slightly.

Lan Cao's heart suddenly warmed.

Bai Ziqi washed his hands and took out two books from his arms, thin thread-bound albums, yellowed paper, and at a glance, he knew that they were books that were some years old, "Don't you need books in the corner courtyard, and I don't know what books you want to read, these are the two books I have read recently, I think they are not bad, I will send them to you first." ”

Orchid took the book first.

There was a little maid outside to urge Cousin Bai to go back to dinner, the eldest lady was already waiting, Bai Ziqi said goodbye and left.
