vs 17 The spring of the world
After dinner on this day, the sunset was as colorful as a peacock's feathers, Ling Tong took the red rabbit to the fork in the road, for the familiar East and West Mansion, it had long lost interest, and insisted on going to the arch bridge to go to the North Mansion.
Ling Tong sighed and said, "Okay, then it's up to you, besides, I haven't asked my eldest brother and sister-in-law for a long time......
came to the upper room of the prince of Beifu, and after the next person reported, Ling Tong led the red rabbit into the house.
Ai Ning welcomed her into the seat with a smile on her face, and called the little maid to say that she would take the red rabbit to yo-yo, Ling Tong said with a slight embarrassment: "Sister-in-law, let's leave it here!" It's so naughty......"
Ai Ning smiled: "Look at it, it's very cute! ……”
"Why can't you see Big Brother Shang?"
"He's in the back room, maybe it's getting hotter, he's tired lately, and he went into the house to rest after dinner," Ai Ning's expression was a little helpless.
"Hasn't it gotten better?" Ling Tong asked.
"Hmmm......"
"It's also careful, I personally take care of the daily meals and soups...... she said, there was a small faint green shadow under her eyes, and her complexion was not too good, compared with when she just married into Guo's mansion, she was a little haggard.
At this moment, a middle-aged manservant in ochre walked in and arched his hand: "Grandma......"
Seeing Ling Tong beside him, he stopped talking.
Ai Ning said: "It's okay, this is the little sister of the third master's family, they are all family members, just say what you have to say......"
"Yes, grandma, what I bring you is the title deed directory"
"Catalog? How many are there? Ai Ning asked.
"Three Books"
"Three books actually took most of the day?"
"The eldest grandmother didn't know, I went to the account room first, although there was a key, but Gu Zhun said that the second master could not go in to see it without reporting it, so I went to see the second master, and the second master asked grandma what to do with the accounts and land deeds, and I said that grandma had just taken over the affairs of the grange, so naturally I started from the account books......"
"The second master said that the title deed is the most important thing, the quantity is large and has been collected in order, there is no reason to take it out often, why don't you take the catalog of the title deed first?"
This ochre-clad man is called Uncle You, and he is the housekeeper brought by Ai Ning from Su Mansion, and he is proficient in accounting.
Ai Ning took the catalogue and flipped through a few pages and said: "This catalogue can only see that there are three hundred and twenty land deeds, but you can't see who rents a few acres, where to rent, what is the lease period and lease interest, Uncle You, you go to the second lord's mansion again, no matter how late, all the deeds and account books I have to see today, there will be a contract expiration at the end of this month, and then I will renew the contract, when I saw the second master, I said, I will go to the tenants of Zhuangtou Beiyi to renew the lease in person, I will carefully look through it in order, and it will not be disrupted, so please don't worry about him, if you still have questions, I packed up what I had to do and went to see him in person......"
"Yes, grandma, I'll go now!"
Ling Tong couldn't help but admire Ai Ning when he saw that Ai Ning was not much older than herself, but she was powerful and measured. Ai Ning blinked her eyes and saw Ling Tong who was looking at her, and hurriedly changed her smile and said, "My sister is so easy to come to play once, but my things here are so boring, I have wronged my sister!" ”
"Sister-in-law is busy with big things at home, Ling Tong has caused you trouble, otherwise, sister-in-law will be busy first, and I will leave"
"What are the words! I've been looking at those accounts all day, and my head hurts to death, and I'm thinking that a younger brother or sister can talk and laugh, and I'm not allowed to leave...... Hey, I heard this puppy is from the palace? ”
"Well, it was brought by a grandmother" She had never seen the Third Highness, and she felt that it was inconvenient to mention it.
"It's so cute, the body is so small, and these eyes are brighter than those gems? Can I hug? ”
"Try it, it's got a big temper!"
Ling Tong put the red rabbit into Ai Ning's arms, it screamed, and jumped off Ai Ning's body, and really didn't let him hug it.
Provoked Ai Ning to play with it, so she got up to catch it, how could she have the flexibility of Chitu, ran around the house a few times and didn't touch it, laughed and panted: "It's really hard to catch, it's so fast!" What a quirky little thing."
"Well, let it go! Xiao Nian hurry up and make new tea, I'm thirsty when I run, by the way, pour a glass of milk for Tong'er."
Xiao Nian responded and said, "It just so happens that the eldest young master is also going to drink tea, so I'll bring it together!" ”
After a while, she came in with a tea tray, put the milk in Ling Tong's hand, and brought a blue and white tea cup to Ai Ning, just put it down and brought it back and said: "This cup is the eldest young master's, this is the eldest young grandmother's ......"
"The tea that my sister-in-law likes to drink is different from that of my eldest brother?" Ling Tong asked casually.
"Where, the tea is the same, it's all southwest cloud tea, but the water is different......," Ai Ning said
"How is the water different?"
"The water you made Brother Shang to make tea is the water of the "Shizi Spring" in the garden in the west of the house, grandpa loves him, he was especially rewarded on his tenth birthday, and my sister forgot? ”
Ling Tong smiled: "I wasn't born at that time, so my sister-in-law can also drink it!" ”
"How do you know that the spring is very thin, and it needs to be connected with a bamboo tube, and only one or two buckets are produced every day, and besides, he only needs this water for drinking tea and cooking, and other water is not used to drinking......
As he was talking, Uncle You came back again, with several thick books and land deeds.
Ling Tong expected that Ai Ning had something to do, so she said goodbye, and Ai Ning smiled apologetically at her: "When I am free, I will go to my sister, and my sister wants to come to play, so I just have to come ......."
The night was quiet, and the red rabbit who came out of the cage was very happy, probably just detained for a long time, and ran to the big garden with Ling Tong.
The red rabbit in the flowers and plants is still looking for some buds to eat, after all, it is in Beifu, Ling Tong stared, did not let it bite, the moonlight was shining, came to a small pavilion, the grass and trees were particularly luxuriant, only to see a long bamboo tube, one end from the bushes on the mountain wall to lead, this end is dripping with water, the water is collected into the bucket below, I think this is Brother Shang's son spring......
Ling Tong didn't have much interest in this, just when she was distracted, the red rabbit was already lying on the shrub at the end of the bamboo tube, she climbed up with three feet and two feet to see, it was eating a small purple round fruit, the color was purple, about the size of a copper basin, reached out and scooped it up and said: "You will be trick-or-treating in the blink of an eye, let's go back quickly!" ”
As soon as she entered the room, Wu's mother nagged: "Where did you go so late?" ”
"I just took Chitu for a walk......"
"I'd better be back sooner! There were a lot of mosquitoes on this night......"
After that, it was time for her to wash the tent and put out the lights and rest.
When I got up early in the morning, I heard Shizuka Swallow laughing: "Hey, what's wrong today?" It's amazing to be so well-behaved."
Seeing Ling Tong get up, Yanzi said, "Miss, go and take a look, the red rabbit is wilting today, and she can't open her eyes......"
