Chapter 5: Gifts

Chapter 5

The old lady asked sharply, "County Lord, what else do you have to say?" โ€

The fingers under the sleeve of the county lord of Jing'an were clenched tightly, and after a while, she bowed respectfully to the old lady and said, "It was the daughter-in-law's negligence that made Runrun feel wronged. It's just that the daughter-in-law only knew about this at this time, and she also looked at her mother-in-law to see it. โ€

The old lady snorted and did not speak.

Ye Ling asked people to go out and let all the maids outside, so that Xianghe also went out first, and then said to her: "This matter has not spread anyway, otherwise everyone in the mansion will think that the county lord is deliberately targeting the child." โ€

Lord Jing'an said: "Master, I still say the same thing, I have been a husband and wife for several years, you should know what I am like." โ€

Ye Ling was on duty for a day, and when he came back, he had to deal with this kind of troublesome matter, and he was also a little impatient at this time, "You go back and discipline your own people, Mama Feng was brought by your mother's family, and it is inconvenient for us to interfere in the house, so you can watch it yourself." Then he said to the old lady, "My son is a little tired and wants to go back and rest first." โ€

The old lady nodded, "You go, you have been out for a few days and nights, and go to bed early tonight." โ€

After Ye Ling finished saluting the old lady, he didn't even look at the county lord of Jing'an, and walked away.

The old lady waved impatiently at the others in the room, "Go back, you can do it yourself." โ€

When the county lord of Jing'an came, he was still upright, but when he went back, he was sulky.

It's really on my side.

Mama Feng is her grandmother, who has grown up with her all the way, and sometimes likes to teach her with the posture of an elder. Although she sometimes dislikes it, but in the end, it has been a relationship for many years, so she has been letting her go. But she never expected that Mama Feng would say this kind of 'relying on the old and selling the old' in the future, and she didn't say anything yet, she chewed her tongue behind her back to fight for her.

How many outsiders can believe that Mama Feng's words really have nothing to do with her Jing'an County Lord?

Mama Feng was also frightened, and as soon as she entered the door, she knelt down to admit her mistake to the county lord of Jing'an.

The county lord of Jing'an couldn't handle her well for a while, it's heavy, it must not be said, in the end, it is the old man who is doing his best around him, kiss it, the old lady and Ye Ling are still waiting to see the results.

She waved her hand and let Mama Feng, who was crying with tears on her face, go down first. This crying and crying made her have a headache.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Vera had already fallen asleep, but when she heard the movement in the yard, she got dressed again.

At this time, no one dared to enter the house to touch the moldy head of the county lord of Jing'an, but she was the only one who was not afraid.

Lord Jing'an smiled lightly at her and said, "It's okay, you go to bed early." In a few days, it will be the day when you will go to the palace, and you will not be able to disgrace your family at that time. โ€

Zhen Zhen thought for a while, and then asked, "Then Runrun will come with me tomorrow?" Although she said that she was one year younger than Runrun, she was actually a few months behind. She was smarter than Runrun when she was a child, she learned to walk and speak before her, and then she followed everyone and called her 'Runrun'.

The old lady later said of her, "The two children are getting older, and Zhen Zhen should also change her voice to 'sister' in the future." โ€

But Runrun helped her say: "Don't change your words, I like Zhen Zhen to call me 'Runrun'." โ€

The old lady also went with her.

Speaking of which, many of the rules in the family have been changed because of Runrun, and it is no wonder that people like Mama Feng who came out of the palace feel that there are many unruly opponents in the huge bachelor's house.

The county lord of Jing'an sighed faintly, "It shouldn't be coming." โ€

Zhen Zhen didn't ask much, and said, "Zhen Zhen knows, go back to sleep first, and mother will rest early." Then the little man bowed squarely and went back to her own house.

Looking at the little back of his daughter leaving, the county lord of Jing'an finally felt better. Her daughter is so well-behaved, she still has a hope. She really shouldn't have set her sights on such a big place as the backyard of the Academy, she still has a long way to go......

The words are divided into two ends, and then let's talk about Runrun here.

She was originally suffering from food difficulties, but after being carried back by her aunt, her aunt wiped her face and hands with a hot handkerchief, and then undressed her, wrapped her little cold feet in a hot handkerchief for a while, and then stuffed her into the quilt.

After entering the quilt, Runrun's sleepiness disappeared. She rolled around the bed twice and rolled the quilt up on her body, revealing only a white and chubby smiling face, like a silkworm baby.

Lu Qinglan was served by the maid to rinse her mouth and wash her face, and she lay on the bed and stared at her, without blinking her eyes.

Lu Qinglan looked at her funny and said, "The sleepy chick is like pecking rice, why is it that he is refreshed now." โ€

Runrun said with a smile: "I just eat, it's good to be over that." โ€

"Have you slept well in the past few days since I was away?"

Runrun flattened his mouth and thought about it, looking like he didn't know what to say. She didn't want to lie to her aunt, nor did she want to tell her that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Lu Qinglan guessed when she saw her tangled appearance, and said, "Then you have to go to bed early today." โ€

Runrun gave way to the side of the bed, vacated most of the bed, and said, "I'm waiting for you." โ€

Lu Qinglan is not as good as a child like Runrun, she has been out for most of the day today, and she has to freshen up, which is half an hour.

Runrun didn't urge her, but she was a little sleepy, her eyelids fell down, she squinted sleepily for a while, and she tried to open her eyes for a while.

Lu Qinglan sped up her movements, finally got it right, changed into bed clothes, and went to bed.

Runrun rolled again, put the quilt wrapped around him, and said while yawning: "Auntie is so slow, this quilt is very hot covered by Runrun." โ€

I haven't seen her for many days, Lu Qinglan also thinks that she can't think about it, she went into the quilt and wanted to hug her and kiss her fiercely, but she felt that she was cold, and she was afraid that she would be exposed to the cold, so she gave way to the side.

Runrun didn't care about this, and threw himself into her arms as soon as he rolled his bones, and grabbed her shirt in his hand, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

Lu Qinglan gently patted her back and softly coaxed her to sleep.

Runrun was almost asleep, and he was talking to his auntโ€”

"How is my grandfather?"

"Okay. My grandfather wanted to run run, and he brought something for runrun, and he should be there in a few days. โ€

"Well, I miss my grandfather's ...... too What about my grandmother? โ€

"My grandmother is also very nice, she asked my aunt about your size and made you several new clothes."

"How is your uncle?"

"Whether it's your uncle, aunt, or cousin, they all miss you and have prepared gifts for you...... What do you want to know, Runrun will sleep first today, and then ask slowly when you are energetic tomorrow, okay? โ€

Runrun closed his eyes and muttered: "Asking tomorrow is tomorrow's concern, and asking today is today." โ€

Lu Qinglan saw that she was already sleepy and couldn't hold on, so she couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, okay, let's Runrun still think about who in my grandfather's family, let's ask together, my aunt will tell you okay?" โ€

Runrun said inarticulately: "I still think a lot, I want the big yellow dog raised by my cousin, and I want the little rabbit raised by my cousin...... Ah, I still want my grandmother's osmanthus cake, walnut cake, date cake and milk cake......" and then smacked his lips greedily, and finally fell asleep.

The next day, of course, Runrun didn't have to go to the county lord of Jing'an, and the old lady of the Lu family hadn't arrived yet, but she was free again. I got up in the morning and went to my grandmother's place to say goodbye, played for half the morning, and took a nap after lunch. When it was almost dark, the two brothers had also left school, and they could tell her about the interesting things that happened in the school.

The things that the Lu family gave her arrived the next evening. Of course, there are not only for her, but also for her two brothers, and even Zhen Zhen has a copy. But anyone can see that the things for Runrun and for others are always special and ingenious.

For example, her cousin was learning wood carving recently, so he carved a few knick-knacks and gave them them. It was given to Ye Heng by a tiger, by an eagle by Ye Yu, by a rabbit, and by a pair of little goldfish that could be hung on a rope by a pair of children. Although the goldfish is much less conspicuous than other things, it is carefully carved out of the scales one by one, which is really lifelike.

Her cousin had recently been learning embroidery, and she had embroidered something for them. What was given to Ye Heng and Ye Yu was a handkerchief, one embroidered with green bamboo, and the other embroidered with snow plum branches. For Runrun and Zhenzhen, it is one person and one purse. The difference is that Zhenzhen is embroidered with brocade flowers and butterflies, and the moist rust is willow spring swallows. The pair of little swallows are also very vivid, and their eyes are as if they are embroidered.

Runrun was overjoyed, so she hung one on the belt of the swallow purse and the little goldfish pendant, and showed it to people when she met them, telling them which one was given by her cousin and which one was given by her cousin.

Compared to children, who are not so good at hiding their minds, the gifts given by adults seem much more modest. Of course, it's just what it seems.

Lu Qinglan often writes letters to her family, and every time she writes a letter, she will leave a place for Runrun, asking her to dictate what she wants to say, and Lu Qinglan will ghostwrite for her.

For example, last time Runrun mentioned that her father was going to let her learn to write during the New Year, but the brushes at home were so big, her hands were funny, and she couldn't hold them well.

Her uncle specially asked people to make several small pens for her according to the size of a five- or six-year-old girl, whether it was long or short, or thick, it seemed to be tailor-made for her. And her name is written on the barrel of the pen. And a few slightly larger ones were attached, which were used for her to grow up a little.

After Ye Purlin saw it, he also felt that his brother-in-law had really put a lot of thought into it, this small brush was much finer than the ordinary ones prepared for children at home, and the material, materials and handiwork of the pen should still be from the hands of famous artists. It looks like it's something for children, and maybe its value has far exceeded that of some of the four treasures of the study room used by adults.

Runrun is what the uncle gave himself who looked at it the next day, and after another happy day, he held the box of small brushes and refused to let go, and he showed people to others. It's just that she also knows that this thing is rare, so she can only take a small look, and she has to put it away carefully after reading it.

The old lady saw that she had been happy for the past few days, and asked her, "Didn't the things from my grandfather's house arrive yesterday?" Why are you so happy today? โ€

Runrun smiled with a pair of eyes to complete the crescent moon: "Because I open a gift every day, I only opened my cousin and cousin's together, and I want to look at other people's slowly." โ€

The old lady was also quite strange, "Why do you want to do this?" Don't we know what they sent? โ€

Runrun nodded, and said honestly: "Curious, I was still guessing what the next gift would be before I went to bed yesterday." But they are all carefully prepared gifts for Runrun, if I open them all in one go, then I can only focus on the things I like the most, and I can't feel the thoughts of other people. If I only tear down one thing every day, I will be happy with everything, happy every day, and I will not waste other people's minds. โ€

The words made everyone who heard them feel intimate, and the old lady really wanted to hurt her to the bones. is such a child, so that people will feel that no matter how much pampering is given to her, it is a matter of course.
