"I don't know my heart."

Gu Xin finished nibbling an apple and wiped the juice on his hand with a handkerchief: "Sister Li, where did you get this apple, it's delicious." ”

"I'm eating." Li Luan'er smiled: "You have to feel good, take some back when you leave." ”

Gu Xin hurriedly said: "Then don't bring more, just give me a small basket, our ice cellar is full of things, no matter how much I can't put down, when I want to eat it one day, come and ask my sister again." ”

Li Luan'er thinks it's very good for Gu Xin to ask for things like this, she likes Gu Xin's temperament the most, what to say, and never twists.

"Nacheng, I'll ask Ruizhu to fill some with you in a while, when you want to eat, send a letter, and I'll ask someone to send it to you." Li Luan'er finished eating her apple with a smile and asked Gu Xin: "In a few days, it will be the day when the eldest lady of the Pei family gets married, will you go then?" ”

"Naturally, I'm going." Gu Xin hurriedly nodded: "I also want to ask Sister Li today, Sister Li is going too." ”

"I'm afraid I can't go to Pei's house." Li Luan'er shook her head: "Her marriage is also my matchmaker, Father-in-law Yu has already made up his mind with me, and he will ask me to go to Yu's house to help on the right day, you also know that there is no female master in his family, and many things are inconvenient." ”

"Yes." Gu Xin thought about the fact that the Yu family only had two uncles and nephews, and Yu Xi was a eunuch, and he didn't have any relatives or friends in the capital, that is, he had close contacts with the Li family, so he naturally had to ask Li Luan'er to help: "Then I can't be with Sister Li, alas, I would not have gone if I had known that this was the case." ”

Gu Xinqing was depressed for a while, and after a while, he became happy again: "Sister Li, what do you think about that Zhang Wei?" She has a bad reputation, and she eloped with someone, so that she will not even affect the daughters of the Zhang family without dignity, and in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the daughter of the Zhang family to marry a good family. ”

Li Luan'er sneered when she heard this: "If she could take into account others, she would not have divorced from your brother-in-law at the beginning, let alone return home with other people's heirs after Jiang Shizi's death. ”

Gu Xin nodded again and again when he heard this: "What Sister Li said is that when Zhang Wei was clamoring to withdraw from her family, if Zhang Xianggong could stop her, there would be no such things as now." ”

Speaking of Zhang Weilai, Li Luan'er was full of disgust, and after a few words with Gu Xin, the two talked and laughed for a while, and a little girl came in with a hot and fragrant chicken soup, Gu Xin smelled the fragrance, and immediately became greedy: "This soup is really good, Sister Li, I'm welcome." ”

As she spoke, she took a few sips of chicken soup and admired it even more: "How did you get this soup, it's so delicious." ”

Li Luan'er also drank the chicken soup slowly: "This is my brother's method, and my wife added some medicinal herbs to it, this soup is not only delicious, but also nourishes the body, especially for us women." ”

"My sister will give me a copy of the recipe in a while." Gu Xin pestered Li Luan'er when she heard this: "I also learned to boil it for my mother to drink when I went back, during this time, my mother was busy with the family business and had to prepare for the New Year's gift, she was very tired, and I felt distressed when I saw it." ”

"Okay." Li Luan'er generously agreed: "I'll copy it to you in a while, you go back and think about it slowly." ”

After drinking the chicken soup, Gu Xin said some gossip incidents around the capital, which adult is the most afraid of the inside, which backyard has disputes again, which adult has raised an outer room outside, and the outer room has a son, who wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and the lady of the main house disagrees and so on.

Li Luan'er listened to it very interestingly, and gossiped with Gu Xin a lot, seeing that it was not early, so she urged Gu Xin to go home.

Gu Xin was a little reluctant, but Li Luan'er promised her to invite her to play when she returned to Li's house in a few days, and she turned around and left the Yan family's house step by step.

Sent Gu Xin away, Li Luan'er was also a little tired, so she threw all the girls out and slept in the back room by herself, when she got up, it was already dark, she stretched her waist and called someone in, and saw Ruizhu bring water in.

Li Luan'er got out of bed and washed her hands and face in the basin: "What time is it?" ”

"It's time." Rui Zhu agreed, took the handkerchief and handed it to Li Luan'er.

When Li Luan'er took the handkerchief, she saw some water droplets in the hair on Ruizhu's head, and saw that her shoulders were also a little wet, so she couldn't help but ask, "It's snowing." ”

"Isn't it, about the time it took to feel a pillar of incense." Rui Zhu smiled: "Young grandma, let's take a look, the snow is tight, just like a while, the roof and the trees are white." ”

Li Luan'er wiped her hands, asked Ruizhu to take a coat and put it on, and took Ruizhu out of the door, the two stood under the corridor and looked at the light in the lantern under the corridor, it was indeed white, the roofs in the distance and near were white, and the trees seen through the courtyard wall were also covered in silver makeup, and the sky was even darker and duller, and the clouds were very tight, and the snow was like cotton wool and couldn't stop falling, and they couldn't stop thinking about it all night.

"I don't know what's going on on the West Mountain, it's harder to walk on the snowy road, and it's colder on the mountain." Li Luan'er didn't look half happy, but worried.

"Young grandma, rest assured." Rui Zhu hurriedly persuaded two sentences: "No matter what the young master says, he goes out with the official family, and he lives well, and there are a few Yan Yi who are waiting, and he is cold to others, and he can't be cold to the young master." ”

Li Luan'er sighed: "In the end, they are all men, how can they be careful, besides, Yan Yi jumped, and the white chess mouth was broken, it was good that they didn't make trouble for your young master, how can I expect them to serve." ”

Ruizhu wanted to wipe his sweat a little, although Yan Yi and Bai Qi were not very good in temperament, they were very loyal to the young master, and they were both careful people, and they had taken care of the young master for several years and never went on a business trip.

"Forget it, I don't want to, after all, your young master should come back in a few days." Li Luan'er stood for a long time before laughing: "It's snowing heavily, the goods outside are estimated to be unable to come in, and we have to buy New Year's goods at the end of the year, I'm afraid the price is going to rise, fortunately, our family got a lot of things from the outside early, but I'm not afraid of these." ”

After thinking for a while, Li Luan'er said to Ruizhu: "You go and tell Steward Zhou to ask him to sell the fine paper, pen and ink in the shop slowly, I estimate that in a few days, the price of these objects will increase." ”

"Slave, go and talk to Steward Zhou." When Rui Zhu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Young grandmother, don't always stand under the porch, be careful of the wind." ”

Li Luan'er waved her hand: "I know it in my heart, you go first." ”

After seeing Ruizhu leave, Li Luan'er returned to the house, and when she returned, she wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Li's house.

The general meaning of the letter is also that the fear of rising prices is to be raised, and asked Mrs. Jin to make some preparations as soon as possible, and she is also worried that the people in the capital will be more afraid of diseases, and the medicinal materials in the pharmacy may not be enough.

After she sent the letter away, Mrs. Jin said that she only said that Li Luan'er would ask someone to deliver the letter, and there was a Zhou steward who was in charge of the affairs of the inner courtyard came in, Li Luan'er saw her coming, and quickly got up and smiled: "Mother Zhou is here, sit down quickly, but it just so happened that I got a few pheasants here, and I asked someone to bring one after a while, and my mother brought it back to try it." ”

"That's it." Mother Zhou also laughed: "You're welcome." ”

This week, my mother had a milk Yan Chengyue, whether she had a good temper or personality, Li Luan'er also respected her: "What my mother said is just a few pheasants, what is it." ”

As she spoke, Li Luan'er sat down, and Zhou's mother sat on a small stool not far from Li Luan'er, and only after sitting down did she say with a smile: "There were people in the old mansion just now, and it happened that the young grandmother was asleep, so the slave asked them and sent them away." ”

"Someone from the old mansion?" Li Luan'er asked while thinking, "But something?" ”

Zhou's mother was a little embarrassed: "Yes, I said that the eldest lady was sick, and asked the young grandmother to go back to serve for a few days." ”

Li Luan'er's face was as usual when she heard this, and nodded: "It's cold now, the eldest wife is also a little older, and it's normal to have a sick or disaster, and I, a daughter-in-law, don't usually go back to ask for peace, which is a little unbearable, and now that my wife is sick, I should go back to serve the sick." ”

Speaking of this, Li Luan'er asked again: "Did the people in the old house say how the old lady is, the eldest lady can't get up at that age, and the old lady is older, so it's a little uncomfortable." ”

Mother Zhou hurriedly smiled: "Young grandma doesn't know, the old lady has good bones, she looks old, but when it comes to it, she is no worse than young people, although it is cold, but the old lady has nothing to do, eats a lot, and sleeps well." ”

"I'm relieved." Li Luan'er smiled again: "I'm tired of Zhou's mother to bring a few girls to help me clean up, and I'll go back to serve my mother-in-law tomorrow." ”

"The young grandmother has this filial piety, and the eldest lady is really blessed." Mother Zhou praised with a smile: "Slave, let's help the young grandmother clean up her things." ”

"Pack more." Li Luan'er said with a smile: "It's cold, I don't know when I'll come back, bring a few more changes of clothes, bring all the things I usually use, in addition, bring a few big sweaters, and some medicinal herbs." ”

Speaking of this, Li Luan'er smiled more and more happily: "Speaking of which, I have also learned medical skills for a few days, and I can help my wife take a look after I go, I can't do it, I still can do the work of decoction, I'm afraid that I will have to do this work, you ask Ruizhu to take the thick gloves I made, and it will be convenient to serve a medicine pot and bowl when the time comes." ”

Li Luan'er kept laughing, but Zhou's mother was full of cold, and she always felt that Li Luan'er's smile was meaningful. R1152
