On the thirteenth day of the first month, the breakfast in Liufu was opened half an hour later than usual, because there was no rice in the lord's warm pavilion, so other places could not eat first, so they could only bet back.

The cook in the big kitchen put the steamed buns back that had just been uncovered, and muttered that she would get up but not put them on the table immediately, and she should be scolded when it cooled down later.

Liu Wan was already so hungry that he couldn't stand it, so he rolled on the kang and cried.

Chen finally lost his patience: "Mother Li, go and find out again, what is the matter, the master can attach so much importance to it, even breakfast has been postponed, and Steward Liu doesn't know what he is busy with, and he doesn't see him going back and forth to procure the coffin." ”

Li's mother went upside down.

In the warm pavilion, the water in the copper kettle has been boiled several times, the water squeaks in the kettle, the old man does not pass the word, and the little girl ring does not dare to come up to add water.

"The orchid girl knows the story of the twenty-four filial pieties, let's hear it. ”

"For the legend of Zhuo Wenjun, I don't know what you think of the orchid girl?"

"Gu Mulan is in the army, can the girl talk about her opinion of Milan?"

"Do you approve of what she did?"

……

They talked happily.

It can only be described as such.

The dumb aunt is historically illiterate.

Obstetrics and gynecology major, take-out to take a bachelor's degree in traditional Chinese medicine, just 20 years of life has been immersed in the medical world, where does she have time to pay attention to history, so, for historical knowledge has always been afraid and awe, generally detour.

Now I have to listen to this conversation, which can also be said to be an investigation, an examination of a man to a girl.

I have to admit that Orchid is a powerful person, the little girl reacts quickly, has quick thinking, and has a good memory.

Mama Li's chubby body swirled around at the door. Don't dare to enter, and can't go, otherwise this trip will be in vain.

Steward Liu stood silently at the door with his hands in his hands.

Mama Li secretly gestured at Steward Liu, looking eager.

Steward Liu ignored her. He lowered his head and continued to ponder, as if he had a hundred thousand things to think about.

So angry that Mama Li almost spit in his face, what kind of score does the old guy put on, as if the dog can't see us people in his eyes, and when he saw me when he didn't be a housekeeper, he didn't rush to call my sister-in-law. That stutters, hum...... Now it's a businessman's business......

Liu Dingmao asked and asked.

It's not that he talks a lot, this is actually the meticulousness of his way of dealing with the world, since he can marry on behalf of him, then this woman who replaces the woman to marry must be able to get through the tricks, because the person to marry is Zhang Hanlin, the old gentleman is a belly of knowledge, if he marries in the past, he will be tested by three or five sentences to find out that it is an empty brain straw bag, and it is the Liu family who is embarrassed at that time.

I can't imagine that this woman named Orchid is really powerful. Ask what to answer, answer like a stream, not in a hurry, and seem very educated.

After asking the last question, Liu Dingmao finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that a boulder that began to press on his heart last night had been removed, and he suddenly felt comfortable and bright, he picked up the teacup and drank it dry in one go, and said haha comfortably, and called Steward Liu to come in.

Steward Liu was already waiting at the door.

"Three things. You do it right away. One, ask the eldest lady to prepare, we will accept the orchid girl as a righteous daughter. All the houses were notified, and the ceremony of recognizing the woman was held in the afternoon. When the time comes, everyone will come to the front room, and we will celebrate. Second, the Lantern Festival, please invite the He family team of Lingzhou Mansion to sing, and you will arrange it early. Three, the sixteenth day of the first month. The marriage of the third and fourth young ladies is prepared as usual, and we must send the two young ladies out of the door in a lively manner. ”

“？”

Steward Liu raised his hand to scratch his skull.

The room was hot, so he could only take off the melon skin warm hat that was buckled on his head and hold it in his hand, and when the hat was taken off, a large and fat skull was revealed.

The dumb aunt looked curiously at the big sarcoma-like head.

Is this the head of the housekeeper in the ancient landlord's house?

"Especially the fourth lady marrying into Hanlin Mansion is a great joy for our Liufu Mansion for many years, so the wedding banquet will be held as usual, you must be vigilant and prepare early. Liu Dingmao waved his hand.

“……”

Steward Liu continued to scratch his brain. A layer of sweat was already oozing from the shiny head.

He was still hesitating.

"Let's go—" There was displeasure in Master Liu's voice.

Steward Liu staggered out two steps, and suddenly stopped, "Old, old man, the funeral of the fourth young lady ......"

Yes, didn't the eldest lady personally tell me to buy the coffin, candles, and paper money early in the morning last night, and prepare for the funeral for the fourth lady?

Now what do you old man say, if the fourth lady marries, the dead can still marry? Which of you two should I listen to?

Liu Dingmao quickly suppressed the irritability surging in his heart, not to blame Steward Liu, he could only say that it happened suddenly, and he didn't turn a corner.

Liu Dingmao waved his hand and lowered his voice, "Fourth Miss's matter, don't make a public announcement for now, you ask someone to send her to the family temple now, let's do the happy event first." ”

What? Preparing a happy event for the fourth lady again? Sending her to the ancestral hall again? How many fourth ladies are there? Is it dead or alive? Why is the old man talking so incomprehensibly today?

Steward Liu didn't dare to ask more, the cat pushed out the door, wiped a handful of sweat, thought about it, and ran to the middle courtyard with a puff of smoke.

The dumb aunt stood up, learned the appearance of an orchid, looked at Liu Dingmao and bowed slightly, which was regarded as a farewell, and then walked out of the warm pavilion in small steps, and returned to the corner courtyard in the surprised eyes of the sisters-in-law.

"What? Collect orchids as a righteous daughter? Invite the troupe? Three girls and four girls get married? One qiē as usual? Is the old man saying it? Is he crazy?"

When the eldest lady Chen heard this, she squatted on the table with a snap of the small porcelain bowl she had just picked up, and was so shocked that the lid on the tea bowl next to her fell down with a bang, but fortunately it still fell on the small table and was not broken, but Liu Wan, who was asking Yahuan to feed the porridge, frowned, pouted and spit out all the porridge in her mouth, and sprayed Yahuan's face, "Mother is bad, mother is scared of Wan'er, Wan'er doesn't eat, Wan'er is starving to death-"

Xiao Yahuan didn't dare to complain, so she could only hold the bowl and coax this difficult young master softly.

Steward Liu tried his best to hide the surprise and puzzlement in his heart, and Wen Yan replied, "Yes, it's an orchid, a maid who serves by the side of Gongzi Wan Ge'er's child daughter-in-law." ”

Chen Shi seemed to realize that his voice was a little high and a little out of shape just now, so he hurriedly suppressed it, "I know this girl, Lao Liu, you can't hear it wrong, right?"

Steward Liu bent his waist and nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, "The eldest lady who can't be wrong is ordered by the master himself." ”

Chen didn't have the heart to eat anymore, so he simply rinsed his mouth and hurriedly got up and ran towards the warm pavilion. I was in a hurry, and I forgot to put on the windbreaker outside.

Behind him, Liu Wan fell on the kang and screamed like a donkey rolling, crying to death. Usually as long as he makes a little fuss, his mother is busy coaxing him and hurting him, what's wrong today, he's like this, his mother left without even looking at it, no, he has to make trouble, he has to cry, he is his mother's baby, he wants his mother to hug him and hurt him...... (To be continued.) )
