Chapter 2: The Law of Survival

When the Zhao family left Aunt Mei and helped the old lady into the house, Huilan heard the old lady snort coldly: "I thought in my heart, how could the four girls come here in the past few days, being a housewife is so narrow-minded." The www.biquge.info four girls were still sick for a few days after they were born, and now I have adopted them, but I remembered to take the girls to see them. Speaking of which, it's just that I don't want to raise four girls. Such a housewife, I didn't look down on her back then......"

"Old lady," Aunt Mei immediately raised when she saw that the old matter was brought up again, and she sighed as she spoke, "Now the person who lives his own life is a person who has both children and daughters." Mrs. has also been the housewife of the Su family for all these years, and Duoti has only hurt her body. What a thing," Aunt Mei led the old lady to look at Illan and said, "Now the old lady also has a girl with her." ”

Illan was spitting bubbles and grinned at the old lady when she saw her looking at her. This smile made the old lady laugh, she reached out and hugged Illan in her arms, looked at her carefully and said, "This child is a blessing, where can ordinary children have such a spirit." The old lady patted Illan gently, squinted her eyes and said, "Good boy, you will grow up safely." ”

Illan looked at the quiet smile on the old lady's face, and gave birth to a good feeling for no reason. The child's body was sleepy, and after a while, she fell asleep again, and when she woke up again, it was late at night, and the room was warm with silver charcoal. Illan looked at the splendid scenery all over the room, the jade pendant of the flower god hanging on the tent, the Sihe Ruyi bottle, the golden bean paste roll placed on the table, the goose silk treasure cake, and the honey balls...... This strange world made her feel a sense of nostalgia for no reason. She thought about it, and felt sad that this place did not exist in her world, and she could not find the hometown she missed.

She spent her last night in the rental house crying because her boyfriend, who had been in love for four years, broke up with her. The reason was that he was going to Shanghai to develop, where there were better opportunities, and the most important thing was that he met a girl in the refresher class, who was the CEO of a company in Shanghai, and she had a good impression of him. She still remembers that night her boyfriend cooked her a table of dishes, then turned off the lights, and said to her with a few candles in the room where they spent four years: "Mo Fan, we have struggled here for four years but there is still only enough food for three meals." I don't want to live like this anymore, this is the reality of the world, and I want to live better. So, let's break up. ”

It's really simple and crude, and there is no prelude at all.

She looked at him fixedly, didn't say anything but burst out laughing, she still paid him for the tuition of the refresher class, but pushed him farther away.

"Nobody wants to live like an ant." Finally he left the sentence and left, and strangely enough, the door in question, which was usually difficult to close, was easily closed that night, and the dim light of the alley outside the door did not leak in at all.

She looked up at the old house, and she thought that she did live like an ant.

An ant who is content with his destiny.

By the time she woke up again, she had already arrived at this place, and Da Yuchao had become a concubine born to an aunt. She was mediocre and inactive in her previous life, and she didn't want to achieve anything in this life. The plot of the house fight romance novels she has read flashes through her mind like flowing water, and her biggest goal is: to live!

At least now I don't have to worry about food and clothing!

Illan grew up to three years old like this, she was raised by the old lady, but she could often see her father Su Zijin. As the head of the family, Su Zijin knows very well that his favor is very important. So since Hulan would hold things, the first one was given to the old lady, the second was given to Aunt Mei, and the third was given to Daddy Su. The old lady is her umbrella, and she is very pleasing to her, which is very important. And Aunt Mei is the big girl next to the old lady, the most trusted person, her words and deeds are also important to Huilan, and Daddy Su needless to say, cough cough, it's also a money bag.

In the past three years, Illan has made the situation of the Su family clear, the old lady is the daughter of a scholarly family, and she married the old lady Su and gave birth to three sons and a daughter, which is a blessing. After her husband died, the three aunts behind her were all sent to Zhuangzi to care for the elderly, and out of sight was pure.

And Daddy Su, it is good to achieve this official position at the age of thirty, but he has a problem with good wine. Now there are six aunts with Hulan's mother, who is better than her father. And Zhao Mingjin, the wife of the family, was also born in Gaomen, is the daughter of an official family in the capital, and is raised by her mother, but she is actually the daughter of a concubine. To say that her identity is a little higher than that of ordinary concubines, and it is a little worse to match Su Zijin, but for some reason she is not liked by the old lady, there are probably some secrets in this, and Huilan has not yet inquired about it.

Illa was writing a pen drawing, and after writing a sheet, her little chubby hand picked up the paper and blew it carefully. The old lady loves poetry, calligraphy and painting, and is a standard lady. She has to teach her to work on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the three-year-old ordinary girl has not yet held a pen, she is already practicing pen painting.

"The girl has written three sheets, let's rest for a while." Baoxiang served the hibiscus cake, and the almond tea was placed next to the orchid. There are now two girls beside her, it turns out that her aunt's girl Mingqiu died when she was one year old, and the incense and frightening wind around her were brought up to her by the old lady from the yard. Originally, there should have been six maids around Miss Guanjia, but the old lady likes to be quiet, so there are four less, and Huilan is raised by her side, and Aunt Mei also knows that it doesn't take so many people to arrange for her.

The corner of Huilan's mouth smiled and said to Huxiang: "I took it to my grandmother, and it happened that my grandmother had finished reciting the scriptures at this time." Hearing this, Baoxiang handed over the almond tea and said, "That girl should moisten her throat too, you can not eat snacks, and it will be lunch in a while." ”

Hulan took the teacup, took a few sips, jumped off the chair and said to the frightened wind: "Take my words, let's go find my grandmother." ”

She walked just right, the forbidden steps were already hanging on her skirt, and the gold inlaid jade was made into the style of a butterfly smelling incense, which was still used when the old lady's daughter, who was Hulan's aunt, when she was a child.

The flowers and trees are prosperous all year round, it is spring at this time, the peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, pear blossoms, plum blossoms are in full bloom, the white flowers and trees bloom like the snow of the old year, with the light snow and the slight cold meaning of the face, and the bewitching peach blossoms are a little red in the snow, which is so enchanting.

Hulan walked slowly all the way, and when she saw the peach blossom, she felt pleased, so she asked Baoxiang to find scissors to cut off a peach blossom and give it to the old lady to take and put in the bottle. The old lady was drinking peach blossom dew to moisten her throat, and when she saw Orchid, she smiled and waved to her. Illan screamed coquettishly: "Grandmother ......" stepped forward and said: "Painted Lan cut a peach blossom vase for you, do you see if it looks good?" ”

Baoxiang took the peach blossom and stepped forward, and said with a smile on her face: "The girl has a heart, and when she saw that the peach blossoms were blooming happily, she insisted on cutting them for the old lady so that the old lady could also see today's spring." ”

When the old lady heard this, she liked it even more, so she immediately asked Aunt Mei to take it and insert it on the windowsill of her bedroom.

"When Edan learns to draw, I'll draw a picture of peach blossoms for my grandmother." Illan rubbed closer, and the old lady said.

"Why do you want to flower peach blossoms? Isn't it the same when you cut a peach blossom? The old lady liked to gossip with Painted Orchid, and Painted Orchid was suddenly a little embarrassed, she blushed slightly, stood on tiptoe, and wanted to say something in the old lady's ear. The old lady directly picked up Painted Orchid and held it in her arms, and Painted Orchid leaned close to her ear and said, "A peach blossom is a big peach with a bright water, and it is reserved for my grandmother to steam peach meat in the summer." ”

The old lady smiled when she heard this, nodded at the tip of Huilan's nose and said, "It turned out to be a little gluttonous cat!" After laughing, he remembered her words again and asked, "Are you writing today's words?" ”

Illan straightened her small chest, stretched out three white little fingers, and said proudly: "I wrote three of them!" ”

The old lady praised her again after reading Hulan's words, hugged her and said that it was time for lunch.

The old lady's food here is very good, eight treasure duck, Dongpo meat, pigeon treasure jade soup, fried vegetarian three silks, sweet and sour carp, and four dishes of side dishes. There are jasper bamboo shoots, finely chopped and mixed with various spices and boiled three fresh oils, the smell of the taste makes people's appetite move. Illan recently fell in love with braised beef, and used beef bone broth to make soup, coupled with the sauce specially prepared by the chef, the red and bright chili peppers made people drool when they looked at it. You must know that in her previous life, Edan was an authentic Sichuan girl, and chili peppers were her lifeblood. Because the old lady had an upset stomach these days, the kitchen served her japonica porridge, which was soft and glutinous for an hour with the sweetness of rice.

Helan was born like a kitten, but later developed an appetite under the careful care of the old lady. She can use two bowls of rice in a small bowl of golden silk, plus the tonic soup stewed for her by the old lady Su Ri, the girl who is carefully raised every day has snow-white skin and hair like Tang ink. The little girl's big watery eyes are a good child with a lot of aura at first glance, which makes people like it at first sight.

The etiquette of eating in Illan is also learned, eating will not make people feel squeamish nor rude, and they will take the bamboo carved chopsticks and pick up the dishes themselves, and the ones that cannot be added by the small short hands are the incense for her. The old lady was too old to eat much, but every time she looked at the sweet eating of Edlan, she felt that the meal seemed to be extraordinarily delicious, and she would use half a bowl more.

Aunt Mei was very satisfied with this matter, fortunately, the fourth girl was a good one, although she was polite but not overly squeamish. With her by her side, the old lady will definitely be able to stay healthy for a long time.

After eating, there is a sweet soup that has been boiled all morning, the pearl soup with honey is the most nourishing, Eilan drank a bowl and saw that the old lady only used a few sips, put down the bowl and went over to sit next to the old lady and picked up the sweet soup, and blew it decently: "Grandmother wants to drink more ****, come, Painted Lan feeds grandmother." ”

"Grandmother, the sun is just right in the afternoon, let's go to the garden to see the peach blossoms."

Talking like this, a bowl of sweet soup has bottomed out. The old lady rubbed her belly and told her the stories she had read in the books and the operas she had seen. Naturally, the young lady of the scholarly family will not tell her those mountain spirits and ghosts to tell stories about filial sons and good wives. Otherwise, it is the Buddhist shrine of Hokokuji Temple in Kyoto, the peach blossoms in the back mountain, and the apricot blossom trees that the two people hugged together in the former Shangshu Mansion......

There are more stories in Elan, but she doesn't want to tell them, she doesn't know how well the old lady treats her, but she still can't tell where she came from. In this feudal ancient times, she can't behave differently from others, even if she is not mediocre, she has to be mediocre, and the gun shoots the first bird.

She doesn't want to do those things that women do to visit green houses, open shops, and sell dolls. I don't believe that I can meet Wang Sun Gongzi by going out to play on the street over the wall, which leads to an eternal story of loving beauty but not loving the country. A child like her can't walk out of this heavy house, not to mention, after going out, a random flower can tie her up and sell her. Besides, she doesn't even have any money, so go out to drink the northwest wind? To say that she has a lot of gold, silver and jade, but they are all managed by her, she is a kitten, a dog, and a rabbit with gold, but those are also registered, and no servant dares to accept them even in the house, and once they find out the master's family, they will sell them. Wang Sun Gongzi went out to hug the front and back, riding a horse and riding a sedan chair, you want to have an intersection, and you can only accept the fate of eating the ashes after the horse. Therefore, Illan can see that Daddy Su is also an understanding person who has always been accustomed to the golden mean, and she just does it.

The old lady fell asleep while telling the story, Aunt Mei stepped forward to untie the jewelry on her body, hugged Xiang and hugged Painted Lan into the blue yarn cabinet to take a nap, this is a habit she developed with the old lady, and napping is a daily must.
