"Did you sleep well at night? Are you still used to it? ”

"Ancestor, Mrs. and Young Master are here."

Li Xiaonuan was about to answer with a smile, when the little girl outside the door came in, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly stood up and quietly took half a step back.

Mrs. Zhou led a boy who looked like seven or eight years old into the house, and Mrs. Li straightened up and looked at the boy with a smile on her face.

Li Xiaonuan stood in front of the couch, quietly looking at the boy, wearing a decrepit filial piety dress like her, with a round face and a little baby fat, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, and a strong childishness between laughter.

Mrs. Li pulled the boy to sit beside her, stroked him with her face full of face, and asked trivially, "Did you sleep peacefully last night?" "How many times did you wake up in the night?" "What time did you wake up in the morning?" ”……

After talking for a while, Mrs. Li put her arms around the boy, pointed at Li Xiaonuan and said with a smile:

"This is the new sister, the grandnephew and granddaughter of the grandmother, surnamed Li, called Xiao Nuan, Xiao Nuan, this is Brother Gu Xiao, we must get along well in the future."

Li Xiaonuan smiled gently and bent his knees slightly, Gu Xiao stood up, returned the salute with a smile on his face, looked Li Xiaonuan up and down, retreated to Mrs. Li and sat down, looked up at Mrs. Li and asked:

"Why is my sister dressed like me?"

"My sister's parents are gone, and I am as filial as you."

Old Madam Li hugged Gu Xiao and whispered sadly, Gu Xiao nodded, sighed heavily like a little adult and said:

"My sister is so pitiful, she has no father and no mother, it's really pitiful!"

Old Madam Li smiled and became sad again, gently stroked Gu Xiao's back and said:

"Our Xiao'er is the most sensible, my sister is a poor person, you are not allowed to bully my sister in the future."

"Hmm!"

Gu Xiao nodded solemnly and agreed,

"Ancestor, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister."

Li Xiaonuan smiled meekly, sat on the edge of the couch with her hands folded, and listened to the grandparents and grandchildren.

"Ancestor, the eldest lady and the second lady are here."

The little girl at the door reported in a crisp voice, the curtain was lifted, and three or four girls outside walked in with two sisters in their arms. Walking in front of the thirteen or fourteen years old, light body, delicate eyebrows, only the lips are slightly thin, faintly revealing a bit of shrewdness, followed by the eleven or twelve years old, plump and fine, fair and moist skin, cheeks with a faint peach, a curved willow eyebrows, watery apricot eyes are dripping, like a hibiscus out of the water, born extremely beautiful.

The two walked to the couch, bent their knees and blessed them, and asked Mrs. Li for peace, and turned around again, bent their knees to say goodbye to Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Li pointed to Li Xiaonuan and introduced:

"Come and get to know, this is the eldest sister, called Yun Shan, this is the second sister, called Yun Huan, this is the new cousin, surnamed Li, called Xiao Nuan, you have to get along well in the future."

Li Xiaonuan hurriedly stood up, bent her knees and blessed the blessing to see the salute, Yun Shan and Yun Huan bent their knees slightly and returned the salute, looking at Li Xiaonuan curiously, Yun Shan took two steps forward, reached out and took Li Xiaonuan's hand, lowered her head, looked up and down, and carefully looked at her for a moment, turned her head to look at Mrs. Zhou and said:

"Mother, Xiao Nuan's sister is really good-looking, even better than her sister!"

Yun Huan walked up to Li Xiaonuan, with a hint of pickiness, and looked at her carefully, Li Xiaonuan tilted his head, looked at Yun Shan with admiration, turned to look at Yun Huan, looked back and forth a few times, and said with an amazed face:

"My sister is really good-looking, like a fairy!"

Yun Shan laughed out loud, Yun Huan also smiled, stepped forward and took Li Xiaonuan's hand, and said in a sweet voice:

"Sister Xiao Nuan is really annoying."

Mrs. Li laughed, turned her head, and instructed the maid who was waiting next to her,

"Let's set the meal, we have to hurry if we eat early, and we can't miss the auspicious time."

The girl-in-law agreed to go out, and Mrs. Li turned her head to look at Mrs. Zhou, and said gently:

"When you go out, the rules are also more powerful for the time being, you are here, eat some in one place, and the hour is not early."

Mrs. Zhou stood up and respectfully agreed.

After a while, the girl's mother-in-law put breakfast up, Mrs. Li sat on the top, Gu Xiao sat on the left hand of Mrs. Li, Li Xiaonuan sat first on the right hand, Gu Yunshan and Gu Yunhuan sat on the left hand and second on the right hand respectively, Mrs. Zhou wrapped a pair of delicate and small silver chopsticks in a silk handkerchief and presented them to Mrs. Li, and spread a bowl of porridge, and Mrs. Li smiled and sent her to the small table next to her to eat.

After quietly finishing the meal, rinsing her mouth again, Mrs. Zhou retreated, went down to watch the girls pack up their things, and watched the people arrange the vehicles.

The four of them accompanied Mrs. Li to talk and laugh for half an hour, and Mrs. Zhou came in and reported, "It's all cleaned up." The girl-in-law was busy taking the thin cloak of her own son, and Mrs. Li called Yun Huan over and ordered:

"You ask someone to pick up a cloak, put it on your little sister first, and when you make clothes in the fall, let your mother make more for you."

Yun Huan smiled and nodded in agreement,

"My sister wants to wear it, just take it, I have a lot of clothes, you don't need to do more for me, I really can't wear it if I do more."

Mrs. Li nodded with a smile in her eyes, turned her head to look at Mrs. Zhou and said with a smile:

"Our children, you have taught them very well, this is everyone's demeanor."

Mrs. Zhou took the cloak in the girl's hand with a smile in her eyes, waited for Mrs. Li to put it on, turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan, who was secretly looking around, and said with a smile:

"Your grandma and Xiao'er's grandma are sitting in a car, and they have settled down, you can rest assured."

Li Xiaonuan hurriedly bent her knees to thank Mrs. Zhou, and lowered her head a little embarrassed, Mrs. Li looked at her with a smile and nodded slightly.

At the end of winter, he helped Li Xiaonuan to get into a smaller four-wheeled car, followed the car, put down the car curtain, and after a while, the car moved slowly.

The car left the mountain gate, turned onto the spacious official road, and moved forward without hurry.

Li Xiaonuan lowered the curtain and turned his head to look inside the car.

The carriage is not big, the four sides are covered with indigo silk, it looks very clean and refreshing, kneeling next to Li Xiaonuan at the end of winter, neatly packing up the baggage with his hands and feet, putting the fine points, cups and other things into the dark compartment in front of the carriage one by one, folding the baggage, stuffing it under the cushion in front of the carriage, clapping his hands, breathing a long sigh of relief, turning to look at Li Xiaonuan, and said with a smile:

"Girl, let's take a break, it's going to take half a month on the way."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the carriage, reached out and touched the indigo silk board of the carriage, and sighed slightly,

"The girl is going to be some, but she doesn't mean to wronged the girl, the cars of the ancestor, the lady, the young master and the young lady were all custom-made a few months ago, and now you suddenly want another one, where can you have it? This was originally Bilian and Cuilian's sister's car, except for the master's car, this one is the best. ”

Late Winter laughed,

"It's cheaper for me."

Li Xiaonuan also laughed, turned his head to look at the car, and said seriously:

"Sister Late Winter, this is the best car I've ever ridden."

At the end of winter, he raised his eyebrows, pinched Li Xiaonuan's cheek with a smile and explained:

"The girl is sincere, don't talk about it outside in the future, so as not to let those high-ranking minions look down on the girl."

Li Xiaonuan smiled shyly, nodded, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, tilted his head, stared at the end of winter with wide eyes, and asked curiously:

"Sister Winter, who are Sister Bilian and Sister Cuilian? Can you ride in a car like this? ”

At the end of winter, he turned around and lifted the curtain of the car, looked out twice, put down the curtain, next to Li Xiaonuan, leaned comfortably on the pillow, and said with a smile:

"Bi Lian and Sister Cuilian are the two most favorite and most powerful big girls around the ancestor, and the monthly silver is one or two more than the first-class, which is twice as much!"

At the end of winter, she sighed with envy, Li Xiaonuan squinted her eyes, looked at her with a smile on her face, and asked:

"What is Sister Sister at the end of winter?"

"Third class!"

Late Winter sighed heavily, and replied a little dejectedly,

"How many taels of silver does my sister have a month?"

Li Xiaonuan tilted his head to look at the end of the winter, stared at the end of the winter and asked, the end of the winter laughed, reached out and pinched Li Xiaonuan's cheek,

"How many taels? My sister is a third-class girl, and she only has 500 yuan a month, where can I see silver? Follow the girl, and give me money. ”

"Well, when I have money in the future, I'll give my sister ten taels of silver a month!"

Li Xiaonuan said seriously, at the end of winter, he hugged Li Xiaonuan and fell on the pillow with a smile.

"Okay, well, I've written it down, and when the girl becomes a lady in the future, she will soar, but don't forget the December or two months at the end of winter!"
