The women of the inner courtyard love to copy scriptures, both for blessings and for cultivating the mind. Xie Fuya doesn't like to copy and chant sutras, first, it is boring, and second, she doesn't really believe that there are really gods and Buddhas to bless people! You don't see that the wives and grandmothers who are more diligent in their mouths chanting "Amitabha" are more ruthless in the backyard!

After being reborn, Xie Fuya also began to read and recite the scriptures, because she was afraid that she would do a lot of evil things in the future, so she should first pray for forgiveness from the gods and Buddhas.

Rushi threw a piece of Xie Fuya's self-blended orange incense cake into the incense burner, and the smoke filled the room with a light orange fragrance, which was more refreshing than sandalwood.

"Grandma looked carefully, don't look at it for too long. Rushi reminded softly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of laughter in the courtyard, and Xie Fuya looked up through the window screen. I saw Ruchun and Ruqiu two little girls surrounding Ruxue, looking at the silver chuan on her wrist, the three of them talked and laughed.

"It's not that they disturbed grandma's tranquility, and the slaves and maids went to let them stay away. Rushi also saw the scene outside, thinking that Xie Fuya was disturbed.

"Not necessarily. Xie Fuya put down the Buddhist scriptures and said with a smile, "It's good to have fresh air like this." ”

In the previous life, Xie Fuya was seriously ill, and the doctor invited by the Cai family said that her disease would be contagious, so he moved her to the westernmost courtyard of the mansion. Xie Fuya didn't want to take her maidservants tired, so she made arrangements one by one in advance. After moving to the small courtyard, the Cai family transferred a mute mother-in-law to wait for her, and the courtyard was silent all day long, except for the night when the man brought the chicken soup......

"Mother Luo is here!" Ruchun's sharp eyes, who were grinning around Ruxue, saw someone coming at the gate of the courtyard and hurriedly greeted him.

Xie Fuya came back to her senses, wiped away the hatred in her eyes and looked out the window.

I saw a middle-aged woman wearing a dark green armor and a yellow dress walking into the courtyard with three children. The middle-aged woman had a gilded hairpin diagonally stuck in her bun, and at first glance she was not an ordinary servant.

Xie Fuya glanced at Rushi, and Rushi turned around and went out to greet Luo's mother.

Luo's mother was originally an aunt next to Princess Anyang, and later married a Zhuang head surnamed Chen. In order to reflect the closeness, the subordinates in the Horse Mansion all call her by Luo's mother's surname. When Xie Fuya got married, the Zhuangzi was one of the dowries, and Luo's mother's family followed as a companion.

"Mommy is here, come in quickly. Rushi came out with the curtain open, went down the steps and affectionately grabbed Luo's mother's arm and invited her into the house.

"How is grandma?" Luo's mother asked Rushi with a smile, "This time, I specially picked some fresh fruits and vegetables from the Zhuangzi for grandma to taste." ”

"Grandma is much better, and two days ago I went back to the Pony Mansion to say hello to the princess. Rushi replied.

Entering the house, Luo's mother saw Xie Fuya, who was wearing a begonia red gauze shirt and a tender yellow Suluo skirt, and hurriedly stepped forward to bless herself, "Say hello to grandma." ”

Xie Fuya got up and stepped forward to hold Luo's mother's arm and stop her from giving her a blessing, "Mom, don't be polite, get up and talk quickly." ”

With the identity of Luo's mother, she can call herself "I" in front of the little master, and Princess Anyang's children all respect her, how can she give a big gift to ask for peace.

Luo's mother was still willing to get up after a shallow blessing, and the maidservant who followed up, Ruxue, moved the pestle and invited her to sit down, and then served a freshly brewed tea.

After thanking Luo's mother, she sat on her side slightly and sat on half a pestle, and then beckoned the three children she brought over to give a gift to the second grandmother.

"A few days ago, I received a letter from my grandmother, so I asked someone to teach me some rough rules, otherwise it would be difficult to bring it to my grandmother and be embarrassed. Mother Luo bowed her head.

"I am relieved of the people my mother has trained/taught. Xie Fuya smiled.

The first to come forward to greet was a little girl about ten years old, wearing an egg-blue dress, who looked delicate and had a pair of bright big apricot eyes.

"Suizhu asked the second grandmother to say goodbye. The little girl was deeply blessed, and her voice was crisp and pleasant.

"This is the youngest daughter of the Zhuang Shangguan back kitchen Li family, who is eleven years old this year. Luo's mother looked at Xie Fuya and said respectfully, "My son was learning to do things by my side earlier, and I was also planning to make up for the girl next to my grandmother to wait for my grandmother after she got married." ”

Luo's mother's implication is: This girl is a child born in the family, and she is adjusted/trained to be used by her grandmother as a trusted personal maid.

"Mother Lao thinks about me. Xie Fuya beckoned to Suizhu, "Suizhu, come here." ”

Suizhu stood up and walked over to Xie Fuya.

Xie Fuya looked Suizhu up and down, and said with a smile: "She looks a little blessed, and my mother is the best at picking people, so I will call it Ruyi in the future." ”

In this regard, Suizhu changed its name to Ruyi.

Xie Fuya turned her head to the maidservant Rushi and said, "Rushi, you take Ruyi to get to know Ruchun and them." ”

"Yes, Grandma. Ru Shifu received the order, then walked to Ruyi's side and took her hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you out to play." ”

Ruyi turned her head to look at Luo's mother, and then followed Rushi out.

After Rushi and Ruyi went out, Luo's mother called the two and a half sons forward, "These two are the twin sons of the tenant family surnamed Luo in Zhuangshang, the elder brother is called Luo Changsheng, and the younger brother is called Luo Changshou, and they are both twelve years old this year." ”

The Luo brothers stepped forward and knelt down to kowtow to Xie Fuya.

"Twins?" Xie Fuya was a little surprised, "you look up and I'll take a look." ”

The Luo brothers raised their heads, and two very similar faces appeared in front of Xie Fuya. But if you look closely, you can still tell the difference between their brothers.

"The one with a scar on his left forehead is his brother Luo Changsheng, and the one without a scar is his younger brother Luo Changshou. Luo's mother said, "My brother is naughty, and the scar is from climbing a tree and falling down; ”

Xie Fuya nodded and let the two boys get up.

"Mother Luo, when you leave, take Luo Changshou away and send him to the Horse Mansion. Xie Fuya said to Luo's mother, "Tell my mother, this is the little girl I found for my brother, and I must let him follow my brother." If my brother doesn't want it, let my mother tell my brother that this is my arrangement! Changshou can write, so he asks him to write down what his brother has done recently and who he has been in contact with every two or three days, and then ask the youngest son of Lao Tao, the porter of the Horse Mansion, to send it to me. ”

Luo's mother was slightly stunned, and asked with a little doubt: "Grandma, ...... are you?"

"Today, the saint wants to repair the palace, and the general management of this matter is handed over to the prince's uncle and Liangwang's uncle, and I ask my mother to go to the prince's uncle to ask my brother for an errand. But my brother is casual and playful, and the little guys who follow him are also dog-legged and patting horses, so I have to install a person of mine by my brother's side, and if something is good, I can remedy it in time. ”

Luo's mother didn't expect Xie Fuya to find someone for her to ask for someone this time, but it was for the sake of her brother Xie Zhuo, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Grandma, don't worry, I'll get this done. Luo's mother reassured.

"Mom bothered to tell this kid about my brother who was like a demon king of the world, so that he could be prepared. This child's monthly money is made up from me for two more pieces of silver every month. Xie Fuya sighed, "If my brother is greatly wronged, let him just come to Chengyibo's Mansion to complain to me, I will definitely go to my brother and say!"

Luo's mother covered her mouth and smiled: "Grandma's temperament is the same as when she was unmarried! Uncle heard that Changshou was arranged by your side, and he didn't dare to bully Changshou." ”

arranged an errand for his younger brother Luo Changshou, Xie Fuya looked at Luo Changsheng again, "Seeing that Changsheng, this child is a tiger with a tiger brain but is not clever, so stay in the outer courtyard and listen to the errand at any time." ”

The Luo brothers knelt down and kowtowed again, and Xie Fuya called Rushi to come in and take the two brothers outside the second gate to wait.

When there were only Xie Fuya and Luo's mother in the house, Luo's mother asked: "What taboo did you commit to grandma? ”
