The sky was getting dark, and the cold north wind was blowing, and the withered yellow branches and leaves were rattling.

Agarwood wore a half-worn peach-colored jacket, held a porcelain jar in his arms, crossed the narrow and narrow passage, crossed the corner door, entered the courtyard, knocked on the door, and went inside.

Chen hurriedly greeted him, "Xiang'er, why are you back?" But what happened? Chen pulled the agarwood and looked up and down, seeing that the little girl was doing well, so he put his heart at ease, but he couldn't help asking.

In the past, the girl had two days of leisure in January, but when she came home, when she was next to her, the daughter was very angry, and now she led the big girl's share, and was in charge of the first officer in the master's study, and she was a first-class decent person in the house.

Chen was full of joy, but he still couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

The daughter's errand is decent, but there are many things to take care of, and she rarely has free time on weekdays, so Chen has this question.

Agarwood followed Chen's strength into the inner room, put the porcelain jar in his hand on the kang table, turned his head and said with a smile to Chen:

"The saint has made a will, to go to the outskirts of Beijing to hunt, the lord was ordered to accompany the attendants, this morning I prepared a salute, send the lord out. The yard in front of me was also well taken care of, and when it was free, I found time to go home. ”

When Chen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became stronger, "Yes, look at me, you will be cranky, our family Xiang'er must be successful!" ”

The thirteen-year-old girl is rare to see in the house, and now who doesn't know that the agarwood girl in the Cangzhu Courtyard is a big celebrity who has to be used by the master!

Chen's face was honorable, looking at the little daughter who finally went home, he was overjoyed, and said:

"Xiang'er, you rest for a while, my mother will go to cook, there is nothing important in front of you, you will leave after eating at home!"

The little girl has her own house in the front yard, and she rests there every day and night, just in case the master has something to look for.

Agarwood sat on the kang, the palm-sized little face was porcelain white and porcelain-white, the big black eyes were sparkling, very rippling, lined with pink lips, compared with the stunned appearance of the wood in the previous two years, it was a little more smart. She pulled Chen, who was in a hurry, and hurriedly said:

"Mother, sit down! Don't be busy for a while. It's easy to come back, but it's not for you to keep busy. Rest, I ask you, what about my father? Why don't you see him?

Twisting left and right, Agarwood asked suspiciously.

The weather has been very gloomy these days, and Daddy Qin's legs and feet are sick again, and the pain is terrible, so he rests at home.

Chen looked at his daughter with a smile, and when he heard this, his face fell, and he was unhappy, and said, "Where else can I go?" It's not that Liu Shi has to drag your father to drink, I've been invited three or four times, your father really can't shirk it, so I'll go today. Your father didn't know that you would come back today, if he knew earlier, Liu Shi would have invited him to drink the elixir and jade liquid, and your father would not go, so he would have to stay at home and wait for you with his head stretched! “

When Agarwood heard this, he frowned rarely, and asked suspiciously:

"When did our family become so close to his?"

"Fart close!"

Chen didn't have time to think about it, a dirty word had already been scolded, obviously resentful, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at his daughter's little face, smiled, and found an outlet for a stomach-filled complaint, and said:

"Liu Shi's family was originally his wife's house, what does it have to do with our family? The mother-in-law of his family looked like she was nostrils facing the sky, and her face was full of words that she looked down on us, and we lived by ourselves, and we didn't want to provoke his family. But a few months ago, somehow, that Liu Shi seemed to suddenly change his sex, and he greeted your father with a smile repeatedly, and he could see him three or four times a day. It made your father get goosebumps all over his body, and when he came back, he learned from me, saying that he had nothing to do and was either a traitor or a thief. I thought to myself, what is there to make of our family like this? But the appearance of the Liu family is really not a muttering thing in people's hearts. Especially, in the past few days, I have asked your father to go drinking, and your father is not annoyed if he doesn't go to other people's homes, but he just turns over the sky and comes back, and people are still smiling and good-tempered, so that people can't get angry if they want to. Speaking of which, our family and his family really can't fight each other! Even the wife, I don't use the old people in the house much, and almost all of them are in charge of the fat difference...... Oh yes! If I remember correctly, the daughter of the Liu family is still the big girl who has to be used by his wife's side, tell me, such a family, such a relationship, what does the Liu family want to do? My mother really can't understand it in her heart, Xiang'er, think about it for your mother, why are they doing this? ”

Agarwood pursed her lips, also thinking about this question.

What is this for?

What are they drawing?

Lowering his head and thinking for a while, Agarwood suddenly asked:

"Mother, since you said that the Liu family asked my father to go out to drink several times, what did Liu Shi say and ask when they drank? Did Dad tell you? ”

Chen thought for a moment and said:

"It's nothing, it's just that your father complained, as if to say that Liu Shi always likes to inquire about our family, especially your brothers and sisters, and asks very carefully."

Inquire about their siblings? Agarwood frowned, her eyes drooped slightly, and she thought about it in her heart. 、

In the past few years, because of their brothers, the Qin family has been a little more eye-catching in the mansion. But it can be broken and said, the eldest brother is working as an errand outside, and the second brother has also begun to enter the account room in the past two years, learning to manage things, and the errands of collecting rent in Zhuangzi outside are all run by the second brother, as for her, she takes care of all the trivial matters around the master, and even more, the private property seal of the master has been given to her, so that she should take care of it. But in the final analysis, these have no interests with the wife, and the public treasury of the house, the land property, and the title deed are all in the hands of the wife. Even in the past, the private property of the master did not mean to go to the wife. Even if you have the intention to find something, you don't have to wait until this time? Now, why is the Liu family like this? ”

Chen looked at his little daughter and frowned, but he didn't have any energy in his heart, his daughter came back easily, and she bothered her daughter with these miscellaneous things, but it shouldn't be!

"Sensei, Xiang'er. Your father didn't make a mistake, before going out, he told me that he should go to drink today, not for the side, but to find out what Liu Shi wanted to do? Looking at the hour, it's not too early, your father should come back, and when the time comes, let's ask your father. ”

Chen still believes in his own man very much, but as long as her man wants to do something, he can't do it!

Agarwood only kept the question in mind, eased his face, hooked the corners of his lips, and nodded in response. Turning his head away from the topic, he asked:

"I heard my second brother say, mother, you went to see my sister a few days ago, how is it? Is my sister doing well, is their family good to my sister? ”

Chen first smiled, and then couldn't help but nagging again, and babbled:

"Look, look, your sister has no elders in the family, your brother-in-law loves your sister again, she is in charge, your sister is not very good a few days ago, your brother-in-law is very anxious, Baba came to the door, please take care of it for a few days. I couldn't sit still when I heard it, so I hurriedly went over and called Lang Zhong to check the pulse, and guess what? Oh, that Langzhong came out with a happy pulse after a diagnosis, it's been two months, happy me! Speaking of which, your sister has had a very good life in the past few years, just the same, she always can't straighten her waist without having an heir, although your brother-in-law always says that he is not in a hurry, but men, how can he not care about this, this is your brother-in-law's kindness, I feel sorry for your sister, I can't bear her feeling uncomfortable, and our family also accepts his affection. But this is really pregnant, regardless of men and women, your sister is also relieved. No, as soon as I heard the happy news, your brother-in-law's eyes were dizzy with joy, and he jumped three feet high in the hall, and he couldn't care about carrying people, and his mouth was grinning behind his ears! That stupid thing - but don't mention it! ”

When Agarwood heard this, her eyes also lit up, and she smiled happily:

"Really? That's good! As he spoke, Agarwood suddenly smiled and said with a worried face:

"Is my sister feeling unwell? I've heard people say that pregnant women are used to vomiting and not talking, and there are a lot of things to taboo, and my sister is pregnant for the first time, and there is no one in the family who has experienced anything. ”

Looking at his daughter's slightly immature face with a deep sense of worry, Chen was relieved and funny, nodded his forehead with agarwood, and said with a smile:

"You still need to say it, a little housekeeper! It's a lot of worry, your mother and I are good-looking, I told your sister about these things, and wrote a list of taboo things and handed them to your sister's girls, telling them to watch the kitchen take turns every day. Moreover, the two of us are not far away, a total of a few steps, that is, once a day, you can rest assured, my mother has nothing to do on weekdays, and your sister's affairs are now the most important things, and my mother has to watch carefully! ”

Speaking of which, I have to praise her good son-in-law, because of her marriage, the house she chose was deliberately close to the Qin family, in order to help her on weekdays, but now it can't be just right!

When Agarwood heard it, her mother raised four of their sisters and brothers, and she was always able to take care of everything, but she didn't have to worry about it.

Gu Agarwood cared a few words, and didn't mention it, but the next day she took the silver from her own small treasury and bought bird's nest outside to send it to Shenshui's family, so that she could make up for her body, and even make up for her nephews who don't know men and women in her stomach.

It's just that everything is always so wonderful, Chen's boasting is too early, and Agarwood is relieved too early, but a few months later, seeing his eldest daughter haggard, but he rushed back to his parents' house in anger.
