After resigning from Mrs. Lan, the people in several rooms all left the upper room of Fushoutang one after another, and put on their coats in the corridor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The snow stopped at some point. But a thin layer of snow has accumulated between the corrugated and flowers.

"Third brother and sister, it stands to reason that I should invite you to have a cup of tea first, and we can talk about it, but you are only afraid that there are still many things in the courtyard, and you are not in a hurry at this time, you straighten out the courtyard first, and then let's go back and drink tea together." If there is anything missing, if it is short, don't be born because you have been away from home for a long time, even if you send someone to look for me, I will do it for you. ”

Mrs. Lan took Mrs. Lan San's hand and smiled affectionately.

Mrs. Lan San naturally responded, and after gossiping with Mrs. Lan Second and Mrs. Lan Si for a while, they went out of Fushoutang together, and when they arrived at the fork in the garden, Mrs. Lan San led a few Lanxi sisters, and walked to the courtyard of the third room surrounded by a group of maids and servants.

Today, the house where the Lan Mansion lives was rewarded by the first emperor, and it is said that it was the residence of a princess of the previous dynasty. The three-bedroom residence is still a three-way courtyard near the left side of the former mansion, called "Wuyuan".

The first entry is the living place of the three masters and the three wives, and the main house has a total of five rooms, three bright and two dark. When the news that Sanfang was going back to Beijing in the morning, the house arranged for someone to clean it, and the people who originally stayed in this courtyard were all people who had to be used by the former third master and the third wife, so when Delanxi helped the third wife into the hanging flower gate of the Wuyuan, although the courtyard was busy, it was not chaotic. Everything is cleaned, and it is nothing more than putting the objects and cages back one by one, that is.

The third lady looked around and saw that the maids and servants were busy and orderly, but she didn't need to worry about it, so she nodded secretly, and smiled at Lan Xi with her eyebrows stretched. "Ah Jiu and Tenth Sister, you are also older now, and the boundary of our three rooms is quite rich, and we will learn to take care of the affairs of our own house in the future."

This is to let them live alone, and the two little ones look at each other, and they are very excited.

"Both of you sisters live in the East Courtyard, Ah Jiu lives in the East Chamber, the Tenth Sister lives in the West Chamber, and the Pearl Jade Pavilion in the back is where your five sisters lived in the past, and now she still lives there."

Lan Qin and Lan Yu naturally don't know, and they don't dare to have opinions. Even though, they had heard earlier that the Pearl Jade Pavilion was a two-story embroidery building, exquisite and beautiful. They knew from their own that the fifth sister was deeply valued by their parents, and they were used to this kind of attention, Lan Qin was always convinced of her sister, and Lan Xi would never forget to give her a share of any good things. As for Lan Yu, she is just a concubine, so naturally she doesn't dare to compete with Lan Xi. What's more, she is young now, but she knows how to read people's faces, and she knows that the third wife actually doesn't like her, but she can treat her like this now, she eats and wears a lot, and never beats and scolds, which is already very good, and she doesn't dare to force anything else.

Mrs. Lan San then turned to Lan Xidao, "I don't have anything to do here, you all go back to your house to watch, how to put those objects together, I'm afraid that my mother and girls will have to let you make up your mind." ”

The two little sisters thought that they would have their own house, and they had long been itching, and they were even more eager to try when they heard the words of the third wife, so they resigned from the third wife, and then discussed and left in a whisper.

Lan Xi didn't take a step, stared at the third wife with a pair of eyes, and said, "Mother, there are Mother Qin and them in my room, but I don't need to worry too much. There are some things I want to talk to my mother about. ”

The third lady glanced at Lan Xi in some surprise, saw her serious expression, her eyes flashed with different colors, and nodded, "Then go in and say!" ”

Earlier, the earth dragon had been burned in this house, and it was very warm. The upper room was almost cleaned up, and the third wife and Lan Xi took off their coats and went to the kang. A big pillow was stuffed behind her waist, and the third lady was half lying comfortably, feeling that her stiff limbs were finally stretched, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and her demeanor was also relaxed. It's just that when he looked at Lan Xi again, there were still two more doubts in his eyes, "What do you want to say to Wei Niang?" ”

Lan Xi raised her eyes and looked at the third wife quietly, the third wife's performance in Fushoutang today is remarkable, can she think that her mother is also like her, ready to return to this home? "Mother, although you only returned home today, do you probably see something?"

The third wife was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lan Xi's serious expression, and couldn't help laughing, "You, this child, are you taking the school entrance examination mother?" ”

Lan Xi was stunned for a moment, thinking, it's really true. I was afraid that this was also from the master's ears, so Lan Xi couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and called softly, "Mother-"

The third lady smiled, and gently touched Lan Xi's head and face with one hand, "Aqing, it's all because my mother was too careless in the past, so she let you worry so much at a young age." Now you can rest assured, my mother will not repeat the mistakes of the past, no matter how bad it is, she has to protect our mother and son. Therefore, this time, my mother was 120,000 careful, and naturally she saw something. ”

"What?" Lan Xi asked blankly, she didn't expect too much at first, but the third wife's performance really surprised her.

"Your eldest aunt is not in harmony with your second aunt, and your sister-in-law is not in harmony with your second sister-in-law. In the past, the big house could not take the second room in its eyes, but now it is different. Although your second sister-in-law is only a concubine, she is extremely face-saving in her mother's family. Her father is a squire in the military department, and her brother serves in the ministry, and even your second uncle has a position in the military department. I heard that your second brother is only afraid that he will have to eat official food in the coming year. Moreover, as a concubine, her aunt can control the back house of the waiter's house, but I am afraid that she is not a simple person, and your second sister-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp. On the other hand, your sister-in-law came from a mediocre background, your uncle has no intention of government affairs, and has an idle position in the Ministry of Rites. Your grandmother is not too openly partial, and your eldest aunt is a high-minded person, so I'm afraid that this anger will not go well......"

The third lady told the story, and Lan Xi listened carefully, but when she heard the eldest lady again, Lan Xi snorted and said, "Does my mother really think that the eldest aunt is just unhappy?" According to my daughter, the eldest aunt is facing us now, but it is not as good as before, and her words are all sharp. ”

When the third lady heard this, she fell silent, and after a long while, she sighed and said, "Your eldest aunt's heart ...... I'm afraid I have a pimple. As for what kind of pimple, the third wife never said it explicitly, and Lan Xi naturally knew it.

Lan Xi saw that the third wife's expression was a little gloomy, thinking about Mrs. Lan's consistent kindness to their third room in the past, and her heart was also a little astringent, "...... Mother has a bottom in her heart......" (To be continued.) )
