The next day, Xiusun told Ruan about the old lady's preference for Aunt Wang, and Ruan nodded after hearing this, "Your grandmother is right, and Aunt Wang is the safest." ”

Then he gave Chen's mother a look, "There are so many black chickens sent from Zhuangzi, it's too noisy to raise them in the garden, so in the past few days, I'll kill the stewed ginseng and chicken soup one by one to add vegetables to each courtyard, and use the Korean ginseng sent from the north." ”

Chen's mother should have retreated, and Xiusun was a little worried, "Mother, what if Aunt Wang doesn't eat the reward for the little maid?" Ruan, who had never cared much about his aunts, suddenly rewarded the food, and it was entirely possible to do so according to Aunt Wang's prudence, which would not only fail to achieve the goal, but would harm irrelevant people.

Ruan Shi shook his head with a smile, rolled up the account book and knocked on her head, "Do you understand, Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang." ”

Xiusun was stunned and nodded, she understood, Korean ginseng is commonly used in the north, but it is not very popular near Nanzhili, plus the shape, color, and smell of Korean ginseng are a little peculiar, and it is not difficult to use this to cover up some special things.

If the aunts are on guard, they will definitely suspect this chicken soup first, and they won't even move, and give this somewhat peculiar thing to the people below to eat, but this Korean ginseng is a good thing, shengjin quenches thirst, calms the mind and intellectuals, and the little maids eat it, and they should make up for their bodies.

Focusing too much on this unfamiliar food can lead to neglecting some of your usual diets, and that's where the opportunity lies.

Well, this courtyard is full of Nguyen people, and she won't miss it.

Xiusun snatched the account book in Ruan's hand, simply closed it, and threw it on the flower table at hand, "Mother, you should pay attention to your body when you are pregnant, this account book has been read day and night for a few days, let Chen's mother and Chunting take care of it, how can you finish the confinement and then work hard." ”

"Yo," Ruan Shi glanced at Xiusun with a pretended novelty smile, stretched out his arm to take back the account book on the flower table and carefully flipped back to the page he had just read, "You kid, you still know about confinement." ”

Xiusun saw that Ruan's didn't listen to persuasion at all, so she tugged Ruan's arm again, "Mother's ......"

"In the medical book that Ru Niangzi gave me, it was written that women were confined, and it was also said that pregnant women should keep their mood comfortable and not bother."

Ruan Shi raised his head helplessly, glanced at no one in the room, and taught earnestly, "Mother told you, this is the general ledger," she shook the thick account book in her hand, "You remember, the key thing is still in your own hands, and you can't be confused." If you slack off for a long time, it is inevitable that the people under your head will not have a contemptuous heart. Even if you think that the people around you can trust your life, it is only an assumption, and you should never verify it until you have to, because you can't afford to gamble. ”

Xiusun was stunned, she wanted to persuade Ruan Shi not to be tired, she didn't want to get such a heart-to-heart admonition, Ruan's vision was a little wandering, the expression on her face became stiff, Xiusun knew what bad memories she was immersed in.

How could she not, in the last life, she wishfully agreed that Du Ruo shared weal and woe with herself, and there were no secrets between them, and when she died, where was Du Ruo?

She had so thoughtlessly entrusted her life to someone else, and this "other" turned out to be perhaps not so worthy of trust.

This is also why, so far, she clearly knows that Ah Hong is skilled and has the power to protect herself, but she is always used to being with the little magpie, once she was bitten by a snake, and she was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

Chen's mother came back from outside and brought stews for Ruan Thi and Xiu Sun.

Xiusun wondered in her heart, if Chen's mother heard Ruan's words, would she feel sad. Helpless, all of them are helpless.

Xiusun drank two mouthfuls of soup, and when she saw that Ruan's was still looking at the account book, she reached out to grab it again, and Chen's mother took the opportunity to stuff the stew cup into Ruan's hand, but she didn't care about Ruan's reading the account book.

This may be the duty of Chen's mother, she is Ruan's nurse, she nurses her, takes care of her, accompanies her, knows all her secrets, but never makes decisions for Ruan, never trespasses, and has kept this subtle difference between master and servant for decades.

Xiusun felt that she should learn more from her mother, this kind of proportional thing, she thought she had a good grasp of it in her previous life for more than ten years, and in the end she still lost on it.

Ruan Shi drank two sips of his own soup, looked at Xiu Sun's pouting face full of contemplation, and said tentatively, "Or, you can help me see it, and I will tell you by the way." ”

Xiusun's tooth root is sour, and he plans to plate, woo.

She looked at Ruan's expectant gaze, and suddenly realized that Ruan's trust in her was beyond a qiē, yes, she was her own flesh and blood.

As if bewitched, Xiusun nodded unprecedentedly, "Okay." ”

"Yo?" Ruan Shi glanced at Xiusun with interest, "I used to say that you were going to plate it, and you wrinkled your little face like Liu Changxing's crab roe soup dumplings, why did you agree so happily today?" ”

Xiusun briefly repeated what Mr. Xiao said to Ruan, "Mr. Xiao said that people's brain power is always limited, and if you want to get unlimited ability, you still have to use tools, and you can't give up because of temporary difficulties, not just abacus, I will learn the piano in the future." ”

Ruan Shi nodded in agreement, "It's still Xiao everyone who has seen the world, and in a few words, I will clean up my troublemakers." ”

Then he instructed Chen's mother to send a little maid to call Chuntai to come in and find something.

Chun Tai came in after a while, took out the key that he kept close to him, and took two little maids into the cabinet in Ruan's ear room and took out two lacquer boxes, one large and one small, which Ruan Shi signaled to open.

Chuntai turned around and lifted the lid of the box in turn, and in the first small lacquer box was an abacus made of pure gold, shining with golden light, reflecting the red velvet liner in the box.

In the second, larger lacquer box, there is a banana leaf lyre, with a rounded body, smooth lines, and bright color, which makes people fall in love with it at first sight.

Xiusun took out the small abacus and held it in his hand, the palm was wide, half a foot long, the abacus beads were the size of red beans, and there were thin entwined branches engraved on it.

Ruan Shi looked very interested, took the golden abacus and shook it twice, and the messy abacus immediately returned to its place, "This is still for my mother to learn abacus when she was a child, you have small hands now, just right." There is also the piano, which was also used by my mother when she was young, and I also gave it to you. ”

Children like beautiful things, Ruan hopes that this golden abacus can arouse his daughter's interest in learning, and specially sent someone to polish it, preparing to give it to her daughter to tease her during the New Year. (To be continued.) )
