After dinner, it was already dark, and when Qin'er arrived here, she only had long thoughts in her eyes, and she threw herself on the child and couldn't care about anything else.

Lancao can be regarded as free, she stretched out her hand to show the dumb aunt, "I know how difficult it is to be a woman with children, these days and nights, I can be regarded as tired." ”

The dumb aunt grabbed her little hand and looked at it, grabbed the feces and pee, fed and washed the diaper, it was really a lot thicker, she rubbed the little hand and smiled: "I'm sorry for you." After a long thought, I have to recognize you as an aunt. ”

Qin'er hurriedly responded: "Changnian must be very happy to have you as an aunt, thanks to you this time, I will definitely teach Changnian to remember your good son when he grows up in the future." ”

The dumb aunt bent down and teased Chang Nian's little face, "Call Auntie—we're all your aunts—"

Bai Ziqi leaned against the door, idly watching the three girls there just talking about their own thoughts, and no one paid attention to themselves.

He sighed, "Alas, how come people in this world are so conscienceless, people haven't grown up yet, they are busy showing merit one by one, and calling others aunt, what about my uncle, doesn't my uncle have a little credit for his affairs?"

After speaking, he yawned and stretched, "Let's talk about it in front of you, I don't know where to sleep tonight, I can't sleep at the door to keep a vigil for you, right?"

Qin'er knew that the dumb aunt was going to fight back again.

But strangely, the dumb aunt didn't say anything, but got up and went out.

Mrs. Yang's house is narrow and has only one house.

The three girls and Aunt Yang can sleep together, but Bai Ziqi, as a man, naturally can't spend the night with them.

The dumb aunt walked around outside, came in again, followed by Aunt Yang, Aunt Yang reached out to hug the futon on the bed, and smiled a little apologetically: "My family is difficult, if it weren't for the fact that the bluegrass girl came to deliver and see a doctor, she earned a few dollars to help me and bought these few beddings, and Bai Gongzi would really sleep on the ground tonight." ”

Qin'er and Lancao looked up at the same time, and the dumb girl's face was as usual. Aunt Yang gave Bai Ziqi a smile: "This son, there is no way, I can only ask you to lay the floor outside, but please rest assured, we will give you the best bedding." ”

Bai Ziqi seemed to have expected this treatment for a long time, and he smiled and gave Aunt Yang a smile: "It's okay, I have rough skin and rough meat, I sleep the same everywhere, I sleep at the door, and guard the door for the girls." ”

Saying that, when she went out, sure enough, there was already a wooden board at the door, and Aunt Yang put the futon on the board.

Lan Cao quietly lowered her sleeve and said, "Little grandmother, isn't it a bit too much for us to treat him like this? He can go to live in an inn on the street—or go to the neighborhood to spend the night, and I will help him find a suitable family." ”

Qin'er also frowned, feeling a little unbearable.

Bai Ziqi kept smiling, and shouted loudly: "Miss Lancao, Miss Qin'er, thank you for your kindness, but don't worry, I, Bai Ziqi, am really not the kind of cream student who can't endure hardships and can't be wronged as you imagine, it's really good to sleep on this door panel, just enough to count the stars all night-" As he spoke, he took off his shoes, got into the quilt and lay down, propped his hands under his head, looked up at the sky high up, and really began to count the stars.

Aunt Yang smiled apologetically, and praised at the same time, saying that this son obviously looked raised by brocade clothes and jade food, and he couldn't imagine that he could endure hardships so much, he was really a good boy, and he would definitely have a future in the future.

"That's—" said the dumb girl slowly, moving her hands as she spoke, pulling a quilt and a pillow from the rest of the bedding. Hold it in your arms and walk out.

Aunt Yang hurriedly stopped: "Girl, do you also go out to sleep? Do you think our room is too crowded? ”

Lancao also pounced: "Little grandma, don't go, if you're afraid of squeezing, I'll sleep under the bed, if it's really not good, I'll go and sleep under the eaves outside, there is no slave to sleep in the house, little grandma, you are guilty outside!"

The dumb aunt glanced at Lancao, suddenly approached Lancao's face, and asked in a low voice, "Why, you can't bear to see him spending the night outside?"

Lan Cao suddenly heard her say this, which directly broke her mind, she was suddenly nervous and shy, her heart was pounding, and she was about to pop out of her mouth. Her crush on Bai Ziqi is not a matter of one or two days.

The dumb girl stretched out her hand and touched Lancao's face, and her voice suddenly became serious: "I tell you Lancao, you can like any man in this world, but this person can't, I have also tried to match your minds before, but ......" shook her head, not knowing how to express it, "Some things are not clear, don't you be curious, can you? Please believe that I don't have the slightest intention of harming you, even if everyone in this world may harm you, I will not give you a bad heart." ”

Lancao only felt that her heart was flickering and falling low, she secretly looked at the little grandmother's face, and found that her face was so cold that she could pinch out water.

Lan Cao suddenly sobered up, lowered her head and explained: "Little grandma, how dare the slave and maid have such a mind! After speaking, he wiped his eyes, threw himself on the bed, covered his face with the quilt, and his face was almost on fire. It's really ashamed and ashamed, and it's as uncomfortable as being slapped in the face.

But the dumb aunt didn't explain more, and went out with the quilt.

Aunt Yang and Qin'er looked at the master and servant, and didn't understand what they were talking about.

And so the night fell.

Indoors, Changnian finished eating goat's milk and fell asleep under the patter of Yang'er.

Qin'er and Aunt Yang also fell asleep.

Lancao was awake, she couldn't sleep, she got on the ground barefoot, walked slowly on the ground, walked to the window, couldn't help but quietly opened the curtain and looked outside, the night outside was blue, and she couldn't see how the man and woman under the eaves slept.

Lancao has completely sobered up, and repeatedly reminisced about the words of the little grandmother, those words were a little direct and a little cruel, but after a careful aftertaste, what people said was not unreasonable, she was a little girl, born poor, helpless, why should she match other people's white sons, I am afraid that I am not even qualified to be an aunt's wife. Besides, Bai Ziqi has not paid attention to himself with a straight eye.

She sighed quietly.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, it was Bai Ziqi, he was talking: "Since you don't hurt me, you just ran out to accompany here, although it's not cold in autumn now, after all, your girl's body is weaker, why bother?"

His tone, with an indescribable taste, had a slight complaint, but more, it was joy, and it was uncontrollable anger.

This kind of tone is not strange to Lan Cao at all, in the days of the Tower of Forgetting, she saw him through the wall, from the hole to this side of the coquettish behaving, hoping to exchange for a little smile from this little boy's daughter-in-law.

But the dumb aunt has always been very cold, either coldly and coldly back, or ignored it.

But Bai Ziqi's face seems to be very thick, and he has been entangled hard.

What will happen tonight? Will the little grandmother still have a straight face and speak coldly to each other?

Lancao couldn't tell what she was thinking, anyway, she was suddenly very longing, and the little grandmother used the coldest language to refute the disciple who was pestering her in the coldest language.

However, she did not hear the little grandmother's counterattack, on the contrary, the voice of the dumb aunt never seemed to be so gentle, she sighed a little regretfully, and said: "People just want to see the stars, can't they? I haven't seen such a beautiful night sky and such beautiful stars for a long time." ”

The blue grass looked out the window, the night sky was vast, and it was indeed full of stars, and the stars were extraordinarily bright, and they were nailed to the curtain of the night.

Sure enough, it's a beautiful night sky with bright stars.

Under such a night sky, snuggling in a man's arms, feeling his temperature, breathing, and heartbeat, looking up and counting the stars, what a beautiful scenery it was! What a happy thing it was!

Is the little grandmother in his arms at the moment?

Lancao was taken aback by her own conjecture.

No way, the little grandmother is a married man!

It's a big rebellion to get this thing out!

However, when she thought about the personality and way of doing things, she thought that it might be possible. The little grandmother is very strange, on the surface she looks gentle and soft, she is sensible, no different from ordinary women, and even far more docile and gentle than ordinary women of the same age, but only the little grandmother who has served close to her knows that the little grandmother is actually full of another kind of power in her bones, she is completely and superficially two people, she opposes the little maids and maids calling themselves slaves, she asks the master and servant to eat and sleep together at the same table, she seems to abuse Wan Ge'er but it hurts very much in her bones, she is very kind to the poor, but for those who are rich and powerful and have a bad stomach, she is not soft, and there are always unexpected ways to rectify it。

Moreover, the little grandmother has never recognized her marriage to Liu Wan, even if she has married into Liufu, she also forced Liu Wan to write a letter of resignation.

So, at this moment, on such a night, what is impossible for the little grandmother and Bai Ziqi to sleep in a quilt and watch the stars.

The little grandma loves the white cousin.

After confirming this matter, Lancao felt so painful in her heart, even if she didn't want to admit it, she still had to face it, Bai Ziqi liked the little grandmother, she could see it, and even the stupid Liu Wan could see it, so the little grandmother liked Bai Ziqi, did you see it? Anyway, Lancao saw it. Lancao felt that it was time for her to face the facts.

Since you like it, why do you always bully people so badly, Lancao feels that the little grandmother is sometimes really incomprehensible.

"I think that star is you. ”

It was Bai Ziqi's voice.

The little grandmother's voice was still very gentle, "Why do you think it is, it has to be?"

Bai Ziqi's voice was so sweet that she was tired, "Take a good look, is there a big and bright star next to that little star?"

The little grandmother was curious: "Yes, but why do you think that the little star is me?"

"This is simple, one big and one small, a man and a woman, they all appeared in pairs, that means that they are the two of us, where you go, where I follow, I am your bodyguard, every step of the way to accompany you, even if it is the end of the cape. ”

Lancao's palms were clenched tightly, sweat was dripping, she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, she felt happy and sad, happy because she heard Cousin Bai confess to her little grandmother like this, sad because no girl wants to hear someone she likes confess to others so nakedly.

The little grandmother sighed softly, "What if I die?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Cousin Bai interrupted the little grandmother, "From now on, you are not allowed to mention half a dead word." We live well, in this world to be seventy or eighty years old, or even more than a hundred years old. We have a lot of children, educate them well, let them all become talents, and then ask the children to go outside to become officials, scholars, generals, and do what they want to do. We stayed in the Bai family in Qingzhou Mansion, planted flowers and grass and vegetables together, planted and picked them with our own hands to eat, don't you like classical things the most, porcelain, spices, silk, jewelry, Baifu lacks nothing, just lack a person who knows how to appreciate, I will buy you as much as you want. When the time comes, we will drink tea together, enjoy flowers, play chess, I see you embroider, you watch me practice swords, and when we are old, we live a fairy-like seclusion together, without quarrel with the world, never worry about such worldly things as food, clothing, housing and transportation, and do not have to go to work to earn money, let alone worry about not being able to afford a house and raising children, and live happily all your life, you say, what are you not satisfied with such a life?"

Bai Ziqi's voice was gentle, gentle, and slowly described in his ear.

Lancao was stunned, and her body slowly slipped along the wall, and she squatted on the ground.

She was attracted by the scene in Bai Ziqi's words and was deeply immersed in it, if the little grandmother could really marry Cousin Bai, she would definitely die happily. But little grandma, she can't. Can she make her own decisions? To put it bluntly, the little grandmother, like her Lancao, is also a lonely and helpless child from a poor family. How should the little grandmother control her own destiny in this life? Lancao actually forgot that she also liked Bai Ziqi, and at this time, she completely stood in the perspective of the little grandmother and considered her future destiny.
