Chapter Twenty-Four: Homecoming
Illan was sick for half a month. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info is not a big deal, but I have been having nightmares, and people are also groggy. The old lady fed her medicine, recited a lot of scriptures, and sent someone to Qingquan Temple to give up the sesame oil money, hoping that Painted Lan would get better.
Half a month later, Illan gradually got better, and the old lady breathed a sigh of relief.
When the old lady lived in the fruit harvest, she pointed to the osmanthus tree and said: "The cinnamon that falls in late autumn is the most fragrant and charming, and if my grandmother waits until the cinnamon falls and then goes back, it can be regarded as living up to this autumn color." ā
The old lady has always spoiled her, thinking that it would be her birthday again, so she didn't bother to see Zhao playing tricks in front of her, so she sent someone back to bring thick clothes. I took Edan to soak in the hot springs every few days, visited the Autumn Mountain, and lived a happy life.
Yes, it was already late autumn and nearly winter when I returned home.
From the carriage, she looked at the cottage slowly moving away, and looked at the calf who was trying to wave to her, and her heart was full of sadness. This time, I don't know when I will be able to live this carefree life again, and I will return to the whirlpool of the Su family again.
Lou Yuntai father and son had already left, and the old lady returned to the house Zhao took people to greet him outside the mansion gate, Zhao wore a royal blue pleated skirt, a gold hairpin on his head, and teardrop-shaped ruby earrings. Huitong was wearing a water-red dress, with a golden ruby head, and her smiling eyes swept over the old lady and stopped on Huilan's body.
Hulan's body stiffened, but she also smiled at Huitong.
Zhao was greeting the old lady, and Illan couldn't help but glance at Hui Tong again, only to feel that something was different. Huitong is different from before, and the smugness and happiness between her eyebrows and eyes can't be hidden.
Thinking of this, Illan couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at the gate of the Su family, what kind of changes had happened there?
The Zhao family of Jincui Curie had already sent someone to clean it up, and also lit the incense that the old lady liked. put the peony peony that he bought with a lot of money and opened it just right, but Zhao's action was not as good as the old lady, and the old lady only glanced at it and let people take it.
The maids and ladies were setting up their things, and Illan brought a cup of tea to the old lady, and after the old lady drank it, she said to Ellen: "Have a good rest today, make arrangements, you will go to the class with your sisters tomorrow." ā
Illan answered, and said, "Echoan brought things for the second and third sisters, and I will go to the third sister's yard later." ā
The old lady twisted the Buddha beads and said with a smile: "Do you want to give away the pastries you received and asked the cook to make those osmanthus flowers?" There's nothing in this house, so far away, bring back a few pieces of cake,"
"My sisters gave me sachets when I was gone. They have never been to the countryside Zhuangzi, and they must be happy to bring back some things from the Zhuangzi. ā
After lunch, Huizhu sent someone to come, and Huilan checked the things she wanted to bring once, so she took someone to Huizhu's place.
The painted beads that have not been seen for a long time have grown taller, and the people are brighter, and the painted clouds are still coquettish, and the clothes are also plain.
Orchid took out the pastries she had brought back, and gave them the sachets of osmanthus and gardenias, which she picked and dried, but the sachets were not embroidered by her, they were all incense-hugging and frightening craftsmanship.
The two of them couldn't put it down, and the beads sniffed for a while and said, "Is this the taste of the mountains and forests?" ā
Such a simple sentence made Painted Lan feel sour, a girl like Painted Bead and Painted Cloud may not have the opportunity to go to the mountains, forests and fields in this life, they are concubines at home, and there is no chance to go out, and the Zhao family does not like activities such as incense, that is, there is no chance to go to the temple with incense. When I grew up and got married, I was in charge of my husband's family, even if I was lucky enough to be a housekeeper, but I couldn't go to the field, and in the end I didn't even see the appearance of a rice and vegetable garden in my life, but only saw a lotus pond in the yard of my family.
After reading the sachet, Huizhu pestered Huilan again to talk about her in the Zhuangzi. Illan scratched her fingers and told them one by one.
In summer, the mountains are full of flowers, cherries are full of branches and leaves, brook crabs, snails and loaches in the fields, autumn is full of back basket fruits, and the mountain trails are full of red leaves...... Pictures spread out in front of the eyes of the three girls.
After talking about the things in Zhuangzi, Huiyun Huizhu's eyes were full of yearning, and Huilan took a sip of tea and asked, "After I left, did anything happen in the house?" ā
This sentence pulled Huizhu's mind back, and she immediately gossiped, and poured out the words that had been in the bag for half a year.
"Now it's almost the big sister's housekeeper, the big sister is very powerful, she sold a few maids, and beat a few little girls, and now no one in the family dares to make a mistake. Even Aunt Ru, who slipped the fetus, stayed in the yard in peace, and Aunt Hui was still grounded, but it seemed that she was raising the fetus peacefully. ā
Painted Lan knew in her heart, this was why Painted Tong was so colorful. She also had to admire Huitong's methods in her heart, such a big Su family, if she was to take care of it, it would not be good to take care of it.
After Huizhu finished speaking, she smiled again: "My father has recently accepted a new aunt, and he is pampering him tightly." ā
The new aunt was sent by Su Zijin's subordinates, and she was her own sister-in-law. Born bewitching and having a good figure, Su Zijin now stays with her almost every day. Hulan couldn't help but feel strange, why was there a newcomer competing for favor with the Zhao family, but Hutong was not in a hurry?
Hulan didn't have eyes to stare at Hui Tong, so she naturally couldn't guess, but Hui Tong waited for her for a long time.
Painted Lan met Painted Tung when she returned to Jincui Residence, saying that she had met, but Painted Orchid had been waiting for her here for a long time to see Painted Tung's posture.
She has a beautiful face, she should be a gentle beauty, but Eilan saw the calculation and ruthlessness in her eyes, which made people feel uncomfortable looking at her.
If she is uncomfortable, she still has to salute, she saluted and called her big sister. Huitong said: "The sachet on the fourth sister is chic, what kind of petals are there?" ā
Hulan replied, "It's a gardenia picked from the Zhuangzi where I accompanied my grandmother to spend the summer." After speaking, she said doggedly: "If the eldest sister likes it, Eloan will go back and ask the frightening wind to send one to the eldest sister." ā
Huitong covered her mouth and chuckled: "The fourth sister is going to attend the class tomorrow, I haven't sent anything to the fourth sister yet, so how can I accept the fourth sister's things." After speaking, he said to Linshui behind him: "Take out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone I prepared for my fourth sister." He turned his head to Illan and said, "When the fourth sister first went to attend the class, I prepared a set of four treasures for the fourth sister. ā
Linshui presented a wooden purple box with blooming lotus flowers engraved on it, and Hui Lan was secretly strange in her heart but also thanked Hui Tong, and took a set of four treasures of the study with incense.
When I took it back and opened it in front of the old lady, it was very precious. A complete set made of robes and jade, the inkstone is a blooming lotus flower, and there are lotus leaves carved by jade next to it, with realistic dew drops on it, and a frog and a dragonfly. The square ink body is also a pale golden lotus lotus leaf, a wolf brush......
The whole set of things is expensive and interesting, and even the old lady who is used to seeing good things can't help but praise Huitong for her heart. Huilan is even more confused by the second monk, Huitong has never been friendly to her, nor is it targeted, but it has always been bland, why did she give her such a valuable gift as soon as she came back this time?
She also asked people to inquire just now, but she didn't receive her gifts when she was in school.
Illan looked at this set of things with incomprehensible meanings, and had a headache.
