As soon as the dumb aunt came out of the door of the back garden, she called someone to call Mama Li.

Mother Li quickly rushed to the corner courtyard, and saw the plum blossoms blooming in the corner courtyard, and the red flowers lit up half of the small courtyard like firelight.

Under the plum tree stood the dumb aunt, holding a small stove in her hand, wrapped in a crimson mink fur, and then looked at the willow snow beside the dumb aunt, wearing a tender yellow fox fur, with a circle of white hair around her neck and a pink little face, the little face was raised, looking at a bunch of plum blossoms on the high branches, "Little sister-in-law, I want to fold it down and insert the bottle." ”

The dumb aunt nodded, "Okay, fold more, I'll teach you how to insert bottles when I go back, which is also a science." ”

Liu Xue smiled and climbed the tree, and wanted to go up to fold the plum in person.

The dumb aunt didn't even stop her, and watched her climb the tree with a smile.

Mother Li sighed in her heart, feeling that as soon as this eldest lady died, Liu Xue followed this ignorant child daughter-in-law, and after only a few days, she was about to become an uneducated wild girl, and she even dared to climb the tree.

The dumb aunt suddenly turned around and said, "It is said that the snow is not cold and the snow is cold, and the cold winter wax moon is the time for heating.

Mother Li nodded: "It's been done early." According to the number of people, every room is warm. ”

The dumb aunt nodded, "That's good, it's cold, so everyone can be warm and have a good New Year." ”

Mama Li secretly dialed the abacus in her heart, but her face did not change, and she responded with a smile.

Seeing that the dumb aunt was okay anymore, Mama Li turned around and left.

"Mama Li, wait a minute. The dumb aunt suddenly shouted.

Mother Li turned around, but the dumb aunt didn't look at her, looking at Liu Xue who climbed into the tree, "It's enough for these branches to be broken down, come down quickly, in case you fall down-"

Liu Xue giggled and slowly slipped down with a large handful of plum branches.

Finally, he jumped into the arms of the dumb aunt with a bang.

The dumb aunt carried her to the ground and helped her pull her hair messed up by the branches, "Go ahead, raise it with water first, and then follow my sister-in-law to deal with business." ”

His expression was light, his tone was also light, and he instructed Qian'er: "You stare at the hanging on the fire, which is a tonic stewed for Brother Wan, and when Brother Wan comes back from learning his homework in front of the master, you take care of him and drink it while it's hot." ”

After speaking, I looked at Mama Li, "Are you sure that the personal charcoal fire has been implemented?" Mama Li, did you handle it personally?"

Mother Li was angry in her heart, and wanted to ask what this little woman meant? After thinking about it, she couldn't help it, after all, what about the housekeeper now, but the old man nodded. Now that the eldest lady is dead, there is really no master in this house who can support Mama Li.

However, Mama Li looked at the little waist of the dumb aunt and looked at the white little face, looking weak, even if she wanted to eat someone, she could really eat anyone!

Li's mother nodded: "It's all up to the individual." No mistake. ”

The dumb aunt nodded: "That's good." Let's go, this snow is heavy, the weather is cold, it is the time to use charcoal fire to add winter clothes, I will go with you to see the distribution of charcoal fire for each courtyard and house. ”

Mother Li was surprised and a little unhappy, and said in her heart what does this little child's daughter-in-law mean, can't she believe herself? She has been a housekeeper for many years, and she distributes things in each house and courtyard every year, and the eldest lady never asks in person when she is alive.

Unexpectedly, the child daughter-in-law began to supervise herself as soon as she took charge.

She was unhappy, but her face did not change, she smiled and nodded, "Little grandma will go in person, that's great, it's just that it's really cold outside, don't freeze you." ”

The dumb aunt said with a smile: "Mama Li has worked hard at such an old age, and she has never shouted cold, and we young people are even more embarrassed to be afraid of the cold." ”

At this time, Qian'er came over, holding a hand stove, "Little grandma, that one is out of charcoal, you can change it to warm your hands." ”

Mother Li quietly glared at Qian'er, the little hooves, they are all things that don't know whether they are dead or alive, one is going to personally supervise the work I do, and the other doesn't even know what it means to stop it?

She couldn't help but get nervous, but then she sneered and relaxed, what are you afraid of, she has been an old man in this mansion for more than ten years, she has never seen any big wind and waves, and she is afraid that the boat will capsize in the small gutter?

Liu Xue ran out on her feet, holding the hand of the dumb aunt, but she didn't look at Mama Li, twisted her neck and ran forward.

The dumb aunt pinched her little hand and smiled: "What are you running, don't forget that you are everyone's lady, this smile does not show teeth and feet, forget it?"

Liu Xue pouted: "Little sister-in-law, what do you mean? Why are you as verbose as my mother? What's wrong with just grinning? What's wrong with running crazy with your legs crossed? Didn't you say that you are most afraid of these cumbersome rules? Why are you using rules to restrain others again? A girl's family that is jumping around is simply restrained by these rules of the Three Principles and Five Constants. ”

This is exactly what the dumb aunt has said, and she didn't expect the little girl to use it to gag her mouth, so the dumb aunt laughed, "Okay, you little Xue'er, I have nothing to say." But this girl's crazy family has to have an occasion, isn't it, aren't you afraid that a few aunts will laugh at you for not being educated?"

As soon as she heard that she saw her aunts, Liu Xue's little face became serious, those women who lived in various courtyards were all her father's little wives, and they had always kept a distance from her and rarely got close, plus her mother hated them when she was alive, so in Liu Xue's mind, aunts were not good things.

Several people bypassed the middle courtyard, and in front of them was the small courtyard where Liu Dingmao's aunts and wives lived.

Mama Li followed behind, waiting to see where the little grandmother would go first.

The dumb aunt looked at Li Wanjiao's Mu Fengju, but she didn't enter, turned her head and continued to walk.

Mother Li turned around, followed by a few servants who had heard the wind. Mother Li coughed and scolded: "What are you sneakily doing? I didn't see that our little grandmother wanted to check the matter of adding charcoal to the fire in person, and the little grandmother said that every courtyard and every house should be missing!"

When a servant woman heard this, she ran backwards.

The dumb aunt pretended not to know anything, took Liu Xue's hand, pointed to a small courtyard and asked, "Do you know which aunt is this?"

Liu Xue blinked her bright eyes, her eyes were originally a little arrogant, and she couldn't help but rejoice when she saw the small courtyards in front of her that were exquisite, elegant and quiet, each with its own appearance, "Starting from the second aunt, the third aunt, the fourth aunt, and the fifth aunt all the way...... Mu Fengju was lived by the eldest aunt, and her father doted on Aunt Jiu, so Aunt Jiu lived. ”

The dumb aunt smiled: "Yes, our father is a scholar, and he knows a lot about the wind and snow, so marry an aunt's wife, open a chic courtyard, marry another one, and make a small courtyard out, one after another, isn't it a group of wives and concubines!"

Liu Xue nodded: "My mother said that it's like raising birds, no amount of raising is enough, and I always want to get all the women in the Lingzhou Mansion to be his aunt's wife." ”

The dumb aunt was stunned and a little surprised, did Chen complain like this? It seems that in every woman's heart, she doesn't want her husband to have three wives and four concubines, even if the woman doesn't love this husband.

Passing by the door of Liuyun Hall, the dumb aunt stayed and looked up, the door was locked, and there were cobwebs on the door lock.

The dumb aunt slowly removed the cobwebs with her hands, and her heart was agitated, Liu Yan died, the Zhang family became a monk, and this place turned out to be an abandoned hospital.

Walking further is the Double Crane Garden. The door is closed. The dumb girl reached out to buckle the tassel. Mother Li suddenly rushed out and blocked the door, "Little grandma won't enter here, since the third aunt left, this place has been empty, and it was supposed to be blocked, but Miss Lanrui cried and wanted to come to see the yard, so she stayed temporarily." She's a girl, there's nothing to see. ”

The dumb aunt shook her head: "Lan Rui is a person who misses the old love, the master is dead, but he lives here with two little girls, it is not easy, so that he can watch the Shuanghe Garden for the master, so as not to make this courtyard as deserted as Liuyun Hall." ”

Talking about slamming the door.
