When the imperial examination system of the dynasty was already humanized, this time it was a beneficial example for the children of the poor family, and for a time the whole country was cheering, praising the current saint and sage, the sage of the world, and the generation of Ming Jun.

Su Wanhao and Su Yao, father and son, have been busy for nearly a month, and even Mrs. Su is busy taking care of the father and son, and she has to cook medicine and food for the two of them at night, but the two sisters Su Xiuer and Su Moer are the most idle.

When she woke up early one morning, the fallen leaves opened all the carved windows to let the room through the light and air, and Mo'er was pleasantly surprised to find that the begonia tree in the courtyard that had not bloomed for many years had flower bones, and the delicate buds were full of flowers and branches dotted between the branches, which was very beautiful.

She washed up and got dressed and walked out of the door, the weather gradually warmed up, she also changed into spring clothes, green, red and pink pleated cardigan skirt and a goose yellow clip, the skirt depicted the colorful butterflies around the top, the arms held the pale green shawl, and the waist was equipped with an emerald green ring.

Su Mo'er stood under the tree and looked up at the buds of the tree, in a good mood, this tree was planted on the day she moved into Linlang Pavilion, it has been more than ten years, somehow, when Su Mo'er was ten years old, the tree did not bloom, Su Wanhao also specially invited the gardening gardener to come and see, and the gardener didn't know what was going on!

Now that the flowers are blooming again, it must be a good omen anyway. Half a month later is my brother's spring test, is it possible to make this flower unpredictable, the prophet brother will be in the flower Lang!

Thinking of this, Su Mo'er was in a good mood, and went out directly with the falling flowers, the falling leaves wanted to follow, but were stopped by Su Mo'er, the falling flowers were still young, and her heart was naughty, if she had been locked in a deep courtyard, she would also live up to her flower-like age.

Falling leaves had no choice but to go back to the courtyard on her own, she was in a low mood and irritable, looking at the empty yard and didn't know what to do, so she had to go to the kitchen to help, after all, she was also from the kitchen. When I entered the kitchen, there was only a mother-in-law and two little maids who were burning the fire, and even the snow was falling.

Su Mo'er felt that there were too many subordinates, and there were too many rights and wrongs, so she drove most of the subordinates out of the inner courtyard and arranged for other courtyards to do things. Such a big movement really frightened the old housekeeper, thinking that the subordinates had caused trouble and made the second lady angry.

Each of them was fined ten strokes of the cane, except for the son of the house, the rest of the land was transferred to the son, of course, including the mother-in-law who did not know whether to live or die.

Of course, these Su Mo'er don't know, all of them are done by Falling Leaves, she is the person who knows Su Mo'er's mind best, what Su Mo'er wants to do doesn't need to be said by herself, as long as she looks at and moves Falling Leaves will understand.

Falling leaves take Su Mo'er too seriously, so when Su Mo'er loves falling flowers, she will inevitably feel a little sad in her heart, so she has to find something to do. Falling snow is very surprised to see the fallen leaves coming, usually at this time the fallen leaves are served in the house, even if the lady wants to eat something, she also sent the falling flowers to fetch. Why did it suddenly come today?

Falling leaves are no longer the little fire maid, she is the second miss's confidant, the second miss gave her the power to completely control the inside and outside of the Linlang Pavilion, and has seen her ruthless attitude to do things, and the people no longer dare to offend her by underestimating her, and some will even come forward to please her.

The mother-in-law in the kitchen used to work with fallen leaves, she married a husband before, gave birth to two daughters, and then the plague broke out in her hometown and her husband died, she and her daughter survived, and finally when she was dying of starvation, she met Mrs. Su and went to the temple to offer incense.

At that time, she boiled a pot of soup in the grass, although it was a wild vegetable soup, but the aroma was good and made people have a good appetite, just at that time Su Moer had a picky eater, and it was not fragrant to eat anything, so the mother-in-law, mother and daughter were taken back to Su Mansion to make meals for Su Moer, and then Su Moer's appetite slowly improved.

Now, the mother-in-law's two daughters have been redeemed, both of them have gone out of the house to marry and have children, Mrs. Su returned the deed of sale to her very early, but the mother-in-law has feelings for Su Mansion and is reluctant to leave, so she has been staying in the small kitchen of Linlang Pavilion to do things, and usually will go out of the house to buy and then get together with her daughter.

The mother-in-law is very good to the fallen leaves, and when she sees the fallen leaves coming, she smiles at them:

"Deciduous girl, why are you here today, don't you have to wait by Miss's side?"

"Miss went out with the falling flowers, I have nothing to do, just come here to see, feel more comfortable here!"

Luoxue took out a cup of sweet soup with red dates from the pot, scooped a bowl and served it to the fallen leaves, and smiled when she saw that the fallen leaves were depressed:

"Why, you big celebrity eats the vinegar of that little girl in Luohua!"

"What do I have, don't talk nonsense!"

"I don't know yet, I regard Miss as more important than myself, Luohua is still a child, Miss likes her heart, if you lose your temper because Miss is good to her, Miss doesn't look good on her face. ”

"I know, I didn't do anything!"

Falling Leaves muttered in a low voice, Su Mo'er is a big girl next to her and Luoxue, and Luohua can only be regarded as a second-class maid, but because she is loved by Su Moer, she is treated the same as a big girl.

The three of them are the people Su Mo'er trusts and reuses the most, they are steady, clean and smart, and they are Su Moer's right-hand men. Luoxue is mainly responsible for Su Moer's diet and daily life, she is delicate, everything is done in an orderly manner, Su Moer also half-jokingly said:

"I've lived in a house cleaned up by snow, and I'm not comfortable living in another house in the future. ”

Luoxue is low-key and friendly, and she doesn't have a big girl's shelf for other people, her popularity is very good, she is slightly older in the maid of Linlang Pavilion, and she is like an eldest sister to other girls, caring carefully, not to mention falling flowers and even falling leaves are very close to her.

Snow will be everywhere to help, today is the first time since the New Year out of the sun, so people have a custom, that is, to drink tonic soup to dispel dampness and cold, there are no special requirements, it is a symbol of the festival, and people with conditions will pay attention to it.

Su Mo'er's body is a little delicate, and Luo Xue has been thinking of ways to use dietary therapy to improve her, so she came to stew soup early in the morning, and by the way, she also stewed the soup that everyone in the courtyard drank, these Su Mo'er will not care, anyway, just don't look for trouble for her.

The two little maids couldn't sit still after the fire, so Luoxue brought them a bowl of soup and asked them to go to the back to drink, and then come back after half an hour.

The two little girls took the soup and said goodbye to the falling snow, and Xie Xing happily walked to the back door of the kitchen. After drinking the soup, the fallen leaves put down the bowl and said to the falling snow:

"You indulge these little girls like this, I'm afraid that you will not understand the rules even more in the future. ”

"They are all subordinates, why bother so much, as long as they serve the young lady wholeheartedly. ”

As he spoke, Luoxue squatted down and pulled the wood ash at the mouth of a stove without a fire, and after a while, he pulled out two black hairballs, which were the two little milk cats.

Now it's not called a little milk cat, it's already strong and can be naughty everywhere, and now although it's spring, the two little ones still like to run to the stove to sleep.

Luoxue took the two kittens out to pat the dust, gave them a bowl of small dried fish, and the fallen leaves squatted down, and the two watched the two kittens compete for food and frolic, and the two also whispered a few words from time to time, and then covered their mouths and chuckled.

The mother-in-law looked at the stew inside, and inadvertently turned her head to look outside, and saw the young and beautiful figures of the two girls, with peach blossoms and pear blossoms blooming in the garden in the background, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth.

The spring flowers are blooming, the scenery is picturesque, the years are quiet and flowing, and the time is quiet!
