Chapter Twenty-Nine: Seriously Ill
When Huilan Huizhu came, Hui'an was sleeping soundly, and the two girls looked at their little sister next to the cradle, Huizhu didn't know what to think, and suddenly laughed and then said to Huilan in an old-fashioned manner: "When we went to see you when you were a child, you were as young as your fifth sister."

Echo almost burst out laughing when she heard this, if she really counted her age, she was a lot older than them. She was twenty-five when she came through, and she's four this year, isn't she twenty-nine?
The Zhao family was taking a nap, and only Huitong was in the room reading the ledger and looking at them by the way.
Where Huitong was there, Huilan only felt very uncomfortable, and Hui'an was also asleep and couldn't play with her for a while. Orchid tugged at Eizu's sleeve and winked at her. The girls who used to play together naturally understood what she meant.
She stepped forward and said to Huitong: "The fifth sister is sleeping, and the eldest sister has to read the account book again." My fourth sister and I went back first. ”
Huitong looked up at Huizhu, and Huizhu looked at Huitong and looked straight over, only to feel that his heart had missed a beat. This sister-in-law, although she always has a decent smile, makes her feel unpredictable. A pair of eyes looked at it, and it was like a slippery poisonous snake wrapped around his body.
When E-Zhu was about to lose her smile, E-Tong turned her gaze to E-lan who came over.
Hulan called out dumbly: "Big sister." ”
As if I was scared, I was stunned.
Hui Tong smiled slightly with satisfaction: "It seems to be about to rain this day, you can bring an umbrella and go." It's not good to get gonorrhea on the road. ”
Huizhu took Huilan's hand and walked away before exhaling a turbid breath, she said, "In the future, when we look at the fifth sister, let's come in the morning when we ask for peace." ”
Illan nodded approvingly, she turned her head to look at the Hibiscus Garden, where a canna grew in the corner corridor, and the old green leaves were swaying in the late autumn wind.
Illan resumed her daily days of going to and from school, accompanying the old lady to plan and read the account books, and she was happy to live every day boringly. In the blink of an eye, it was her birthday, and the old lady had breakfast and let her order a bowl of longevity noodles with eggs. The noodles boiled by the old chicken are even drunk with soup.
At this time, it was already snowing, and the old lady allowed Huilan to invite Huiyun and Huizhu to have a small banquet here.
The red oil pot was tumbling with slices of meat, plus a watermelon brought to the old lady from the capital. The three little girls ate happily, and the watermelon at this time was not easy. The old lady's second son is now an official of the Yushitai, which is naturally different from Su Zijin, who is still outside. Being able to eat watermelon in winter was a luxury in ancient times.
You can't eat more thin watermelon slices on the snow, for fear of upsetting your stomach. Baoxiang saw that the girls had almost eaten, so she stopped serving them, and only served them the sweet soup that had been prepared a long time ago.
The three of them nested on the soft couch, Huiyun did a good job, and Huilan and Huizhu were back to back, holding their feet with their hands, and they smiled together and pointed to the snow flying outside the window.
This was the fourth year of Illan in ancient times, and at this time, she felt slightly drunk even though she hadn't been drinking.
Zhao asked people to send a set of ruby bracelets, hairpins. Huitong also sent some new satin and some leather, and Baoxiang had already planned to make her three pairs of leather boots from the leather, so that even if she went to build a snowman naughtily, she would not be frozen to her feet.
Although the old lady was strict with her, she could do whatever she wanted, and she didn't have to look at other people's faces.
And Illan didn't expect that her happy life would end on this day.
She was obviously talking to the old lady, and as she spoke, the old lady suddenly fell down. Aunt Mei exclaimed, old lady! Illan had already called Baoxiang to invite the old lady to see a doctor.
No one thought that the old lady was so sick this time, her illness was menacing, and Su Zijin and Zhao's Huitong came that night, and stayed by her side for most of the night. Orchid sat by the old lady's window, looking at the old lady's frowning brow without blinking.
She was very uncomfortable.
Illan had tears on her face before she knew it, she thought she was using the old lady as an umbrella, but now she knew how important the old lady was to her. In the past four years of getting along day and night, she has long regarded her as her own grandmother, and she sincerely wants to treat her well, but why not Painted Lan?
In the middle of the night, Aunt Mei persuaded her to go to sleep for a while, and she came to guard the old lady.
Hui Tong raised her face, looked at Aunt Mei with red eyes from crying, and said in a thick nasal voice: "Aunt Mei, grandmother is uncomfortable. ”
The little man's words alone made Aunt Mei's tears fall, and warm tears rolled down her cheeks. She stopped Illan into her arms, she was so old, she naturally understood.
Zhao's Su Zijin and even Huitong, who is really worried about the old lady. Su Zijin was just afraid that he would worry about it for three years, and he was afraid that there would be a will for him to return to the capital in these three years. Although Su Zijin listened to the old lady's discipline on the face, it was not. His ambition, his plans, were all under that respectful smile. Zhao, not to mention, the old lady didn't like her in the first place, and the person she hired was not her. These old ladies have never given her a good face, and she has also accepted Su Zijin as a concubine, she naturally hates the old lady in her heart, and now that the old lady is sick, she naturally wants her to return to the West as soon as possible. Huitong, the concubine, was gloomy at a young age, and the old lady told her that she was not a good stubble, and she would suffer if she married in the future.
Such a big room of people guarded the old lady, and only the little girl in her arms was uncomfortable thinking about the old lady. A pair of small hands grabbed her hand and didn't let go.
"Fourth girl, the old lady will be fine. Don't be afraid, Aunt Mei is here. ”
Hulan was silent before saying, "Hulan is not afraid, Hulan is just afraid that her grandmother is not there." Hulan said that she would always be with her grandmother. ”
Aunt Mei remembered the calm appearance of Hulan when Mingqiu died, and then looked at the tearful person in her arms now. The heart is getting softer and softer, and this girl has finally grown into the old lady's expectation, and she can be strong and soft.
That night, Illan slept on the soft couch that the old lady's Aunt Mei had placed for her, and Ellen had some fragmentary dreams in a daze. Until the last little dream, she dreamed that the old lady combed her hair, combed two small buds, tied a pearl belt, and then still said to her with her kind smile: "Four girls, grandmother is leaving." ”
She burst into tears and reached out to grab the old lady, but the old lady turned into green smoke and dispersed.
"Grandmother!"
Echo woke up from her dream, and when she saw that it was a familiar room, she turned her head and saw the old lady asleep on the bed, and she was relieved.
Her grandmother, she'll be fine. She said to herself in her heart that she was reluctant to leave her.
