Old Madam Li also laughed,

"If it's a creation, it's her blessing, you can go back and rest, tomorrow the day after tomorrow when you get home, pack up and settle down, bury, there are a lot of things, you have to take care of yourself, take time to rest, go back quickly, rest early."

Mrs. Zhou smiled and got up to leave, and went back to rest.

Mrs. Li leaned on the bed, closed her eyes and thought for a moment, called Grandma Sun over, repelled everyone, motioned for Grandma Sun to sit on the edge of the bed, and explained in a low voice:

"You send that girl back to Xiali Town tomorrow, let the end of winter also go with you, I will send a steady and polite steward and two little maids to follow with me, you be careful, pay attention to her own family talk and act, and let the steward and the little maid quietly inquire outside, if those families are really good to Xiao Nuan, just hand her over to the Li family to raise, and that's it, if there is something wrong, you will bring her back."

Old Madam Li paused, pondered for a moment, and then ordered:

"If everything is appropriate, it is naturally good, if there is something inappropriate, don't hide it from Xiao Nuan, you just tell her the truth, listen to her, if she insists on staying in the Li family, no matter how much it is inappropriate, you don't care, come back, if she can understand our intentions, you will take her back, and in the future, let her grow up with me."

Mama Sun was stunned and said with a smile:

"Ancestor, no matter how sensible Miss Biao is, she is only a six-year-old child, and she has never seen much of the world, how can she understand these things?"

Mrs. Li sighed softly, looked at Mama Sun, and said with emotion:

"Do you still remember Brother Qin of our Li Jiafeng's farming house?"

"Why don't you remember?! That kid, who would have forgotten the one who had seen him?! That look, that smart! I have seen so many children with my ancestor, and I don't even have half a point of him! To put it mildly, it is the master, the champion talent, the intelligence when he was a child, and he can't go half of the hard brother! ”

Mama Sun raised her eyebrows and sighed,

"It's a pity that I was injured at the age of eight, alas!"

"Yes, Huiji will hurt ......"

Mrs. Li sighed sadly, and Mama Sun looked up at Mrs. Li with a sad face, and busily changed the topic:

"Why did the old ancestor suddenly think of Brother Qin'er? That was decades ago. ”

"Lian Yu, Xiao Nuan, this girl, this smart, I'm afraid it's no worse than Brother Qin'er!"

Mama Sun was stunned,

"Ancestor ......"

Mrs. Li raised her hand to stop Grandma Sun, and then said:

"Along the way, the end of winter is more and more respectful to her, have you seen her do anything? The girl at the end of winter is a high-minded and arrogant, stubborn and stubborn. ”

Grandma Sun thought about it carefully and nodded,

"As soon as the ancestor said this, I remembered that I just left the capital for a few days, and at the end of winter, I liked to pinch Miss Table's face the most, because of this, I also said that she, these days, she followed Miss Cousin in and out, she was really respectful, but I really didn't see her pinch Miss Table's face again!"

"Well, she pestered Xiao'er and borrowed a few books he had read, I asked at the end of winter, in the car these days, the girl had already read these books, alas......"

Mrs. Li raised her eyes to look at the flickering candle flame in the corner of the house, and said slowly,

"It's a pity that it's a daughter's family, and there is no father and mother......"

Mama Sun frowned, thought for a moment, moved to Mrs. Li's side, and said in a low voice:

"The old ancestor also said that this wisdom will hurt, if Miss Biao is really so smart, then ......"

"It's okay, Xiao Nuan has no parents, this life is hard enough, let's talk about it."

A smile appeared on Mrs. Li's face,

"Don't forget, Master Idealism once guarded her and recited the scriptures for a day! This girl is a person who knows how to keep foolishness and hide clumsiness, and she will have great blessings in the future. ”

Grandma Sun's brows furrowed, and she said with a smile:

"I know, don't worry, ancestor."

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Li Xiaonuan resigned from Mrs. Li, changed to a canopy boat, and went to Xiali Town, Xiuzhou.

Steward Liu took two small servants, sat on a Wupeng boat at the front, a coffin in the middle boat, and Mama Sun, Mama Wei and the end of winter, waiting for Li Xiaonuan to sit on the last and largest Wupeng boat.

Li Xiaonuan lifted the curtain and looked outside.

The two boats in front, there are two men on the boat, one is rocking, one is propping, they are on this boat, with three boat girls, two boat girls in their thirties one left and one right supporting the bamboo artemisia, and the last one is a slightly older crew lady rocking, a line of three boats are connected from head to tail, and they are carried out quickly in the clear river water.

Facing the river, is a long falling water corridor street, is yawning to wake up, mossy green stone steps, has stood a lot of early housewives, mothers-in-law and girls, washing clothes, greetings, laughing, behind the corridor street, the early rise of the merchant's shouting is clearer and longer.

Li Xiaonuan looked at the blue and gray corridor top with fascination, the red round wooden pillars and the snow-white horse-head wall flying out in the distance, if it rained, the rain dripped from the cornice of the corridor into a long rain curtain and fell into the river, how poetic and picturesque it should be!

The Upong boat quickly passed through the round bridge holes, and soon left the town, the crops and trees on both sides of the shore showed a hint of yellow decay in the green and verdant, it was already late August, and the autumn was strong.

The boat did not stop at noon, the boat lady took turns to eat, supporting the boat to move forward quickly, in the evening, Mama Wei lifted the curtain and looked at it, and said with a smile:

"It's coming."

Li Xiaonuan hurriedly sat up, lifted the curtain and looked out, the verdant farmland surrounded a small village, the village smelled chickens and dogs, and the curling smoke was rising.

The three boats leaned against the simple little bluestone wharf, tied the ropes, and Mama Wei went ashore and walked to the village with Steward Liu.

After a while, more than a dozen young men with ropes and poles rushed out of the village, and an old man of about fifty years old walked in front, and his steps staggered towards the river.

Li Xiaonuan straightened up and was about to stand up, but Mama Sun stroked her shoulders and whispered:

"It's chaotic outside, girls shouldn't show up, and it's not too late to come home and say hello."

Li Xiaonuan obediently sat down again, through the light gauze curtain, watched the old man run to the boat in the middle, gently patted the two coffins with tears streaming down his face, his lips trembled, and after a while, he wiped his tears with his sleeves, and commanded the young man who followed behind to tie the coffin with a rope and carry it down.

Mama Wei got on the boat, kept wiping her tears, only couldn't speak, Mama Sun took a careful look at Li Xiaonuan's clothes, took a hat at the end of winter, put it on for Li Xiaonuan, and put it on herself, so she helped Li Xiaonuan, got off the boat behind Mama Wei, and walked to the village.

The old man stood on the shore, squinting at Li Xiaonuan, who was wearing a hat and surrounded by three people, thoughtfully.
