The old lady couldn't see the undercurrent surging between them, she pointed at Yuan Xiao and smiled: "Doudou, come and see your cousin Yuan Xiao." ”

Doudou pouted slightly, stood up and blessed himself and said, "I've seen my cousin." ”

Yuan Xiao naturally saw her expression, smiled slightly, and returned the salute: "Cousin is polite." ”

The old lady saw that the two of them were very polite and did not hold grudges at all, she felt very relieved and interesting, she nodded and said, "They are all good children, sit down and eat!"

Although Doudou and Yuan Xiao were very hungry, they were not embarrassed to gobble up when they ate, but the old lady was the most active during the banquet, constantly asking the two children various questions, and gradually the two of them let go, saying that they were happy and eating sweetly, it seemed that there were no rules, but there was more warmth that was rare in the house.

The old lady was very happy, and even had a few drinks, but soon she was a little overwhelmed, she told the two children to go back to the room early to rest, and she helped Wu's mother back to the room.

As soon as the old lady left, Doudou didn't want to, let alone dare to stay with Tang Yuan's cousin more, and wanted to slip away after giving Zhao's mother a look, but Yuan Xiao saw her little abacus at a glance, and said with a smile: "Cousin's food here is delicious, and my brother accidentally used more, at this time, it's too early to go back to the room to rest, and my cousin has just come here and is not familiar with it, why don't I take you out to play?"

Mother Zhao knew that it was this young master that the girl offended today, where did she dare to let her go out with him, just wanted to open her mouth to refuse, Yuan Xiao said again: "Mom, don't worry, my cousin is young, how can I, as a cousin, care about her, I will personally send her back to the room before dark." ”

Seeing that people were so generous, Zhao's mother couldn't say anything, Doudou was naturally very unhappy, but Yuanxiao didn't allow her to refuse at all, took her little hand and walked out of the warm pavilion.

The little maids just wanted to keep up, Yuan Xiao waved his hand and said, "Don't come with me, my cousin and I are just walking around the house to eliminate food, let's go back to our rooms!"

He said so, how dare the subordinates have objections, so they have to disperse.

Doudou looked at this situation and felt furious, cousin Tangyuan, don't you do it so obviously, okay? Fools know that you want to take revenge on me! The annoying mother Wu has dressed herself like this, and all the weapons have been left in the room, looking at her small fist, which is only half the size of others, she feels that this trip is really dangerous......

The two soon came to the garden, Doudou kept his head down and didn't speak, Yuan Xiao seemed to be able to hear what she was thinking, hehe sneered twice and said: "What, the wild girl is scared? Don't worry, the master is not so stingy, this is the grandmother's house, won't beating you ruin the reputation of the master?"

Doudou still didn't speak, but was visibly relieved.

Yuan Xiao smiled secretly in her heart and said: "Wild girl, it turns out that you are also a child of the Yuan family, and your real name is Yuan...... Beanie?"

Doudou didn't hear the mechanism in Yuan Xiao's words at all, but he didn't want to hide it, he raised his head and looked at him with bright eyes and said: "I just became a child of the Yuan family today, Doudou is my milk name, and I don't have an official name yet." ”

After all, Yuan Xiao is a few years older and has experienced a lot of things, as soon as she heard it, she knew that Doudou's life experience might be a little strange, it seems that she is probably a girl abandoned by her parents, her pity suddenly rose, and the anger in her chest seemed to fade a lot.

He didn't really want to hit anyone, he just thought that he had to rip off the wild girl's clothes to scare her, but this pity changed his mind.

He looked at Doudou carefully and said, "Why is my cousin wearing a pink dress? You are so lively and active, and your skin is so fair, you must look better in a green dress!"

Doudou didn't react at once, cousin Tangyuan was praising himself?

Seeing her small mouth open and looking at herself stupidly, Yuan Xiao smiled a little proudly: "Look at you are so thin that you don't have two taels of meat all over your body, and you are still round beans, and you are an out-and-out lentils when you wear a green dress!"

Doudou became popular all of a sudden, and said that this guy is so kind, and he still cares about what he wears!

"You big white rice balls, you're embarrassed to laugh at me!" Doudou clenched his little fist and beckoned to Yuan Xiao.

Yuan Xiao didn't want to make a move with her in the house, so she slipped away from the side in a flash, and Doudou punched the air and shouted: "You are not only a big white rice ball, but also a black core, a big white rice ball with black sesame filling!"

"Little lentils in the northwest, brother go back to sleep!" Yuan Xiao's voice gradually faded away......

※※※※

The old lady went back to the house and drank the sobering soup, and after washing, she lay down directly on the bed, Doudou's little face that looked like her daughter-in-law Gu's kept lingering in her mind, and she remembered that Yuan Hui's hot letter hadn't been read yet.

"Mei Xiang, take the candlestick, the wick is brightened a little, Aunt Cui helped me up and leaned back, lying down strangely uncomfortable. The old lady rubbed her temples and commanded.

The two hurriedly did as she instructed, and the old lady leaned on the big pillow and said, "You all go down, let me be alone for a while." ”

Under the bright candlelight, the old lady finally opened the Fang Sheng that made her uneasy.

Half an hour later, Mother Wu saw that the old lady still didn't move, so she knocked on the door lightly and said, "Old lady, do you want to rest, let the slave and maid come in and serve." ”

"Aunt Cui, come in. The old lady's slightly hoarse voice came from the room.

Mother Wu soon came to the inner room, and when she saw that she hadn't rested, she was a little disgusted and said, "You shouldn't be drinking when you're old, but you still refuse to rest when you're drunk." ”

"I can't sleep, come and talk to me. The old lady beckoned to Mother Wu and motioned for her to sit beside her.

"Aunt Cui, how many years have you been by my side?" the old lady leaned back into the bed.

"Old lady, the slave maid is forty years old this year, and she has learned to serve by your side since she was seven years old, and the slave and maid can be regarded as enjoying the blessings of half a lifetime with you. Mother Wu tucked the quilt for the old lady and smiled.

"Aunt Cui, don't you have some trouble figuring it out if I leave this child today?" the old lady closed her eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Mother Wu was slightly stunned, stretched out her hand and took a sip of warm water on the small table on the side and fed the old lady, and then said: "It's a little hard to figure it out, but you have your own reasons for doing this, if you like Doudou girl, the slave will treat her as a little master." ”

"I'm a little willful today, and I have settled the matter before I have discussed it with Zheng'er, alas...... The couple is probably going to have an awkward quarrel again, but ...... Aunt Cui, I really like this child, dozens of people in the house are waiting for me, the house seems to be full, but my heart is empty, today the two children are chatting with me for dinner, you don't know how happy I am!" the old lady said and suddenly opened her eyes, tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.

Mother Wu hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the tears of the old lady, her heart was also indescribably sour, for decades, she watched the old lady step by step from the new daughter-in-law who married into the high door to the current old feudal monarch, it seems that the scenery is infinite, and who can understand the bitterness.

"Old lady, the second master is filial, he has nothing to disobey what you decide......" Mother Wu wanted to comfort her master, but she didn't even believe it, so she couldn't continue to say it.
