The carriage sent everyone straight into the Zhuangzi, and stopped in front of a large courtyard, which was the main courtyard of the Zhuangzi, and was naturally the residence of the old lady, the old lady beckoned, called Liu Qin over, and told Cuiliu to move the girl's things into this courtyard, Liu Qin was very reluctant, but he knew that he couldn't resist his mother, so he had to obediently follow in.

Cai Xinlan took Brother Chao to live in a courtyard next to it, which was not small, enough to rest the gang of people they brought, as for Brother Hai, Jiang Li, and Xiao Wu, they each found a place to live in a distance, Fang Nuo and Jiang Li lived together, and Brother Hai and Xiao Wu lived alone.

Everyone went back to their rooms to freshen up, rest, and wait for the meal to begin.

The old lady was bumped by the carriage for half an hour, and her body was very uncomfortable, so when she went back to the main room, she wiped her face, and then leaned on the couch, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, she was old, and she couldn't sleep, but she often felt sleepy, so half-squinted and half-awake, the sound of the room came into the ears more clearly, the sound of the maids walking gently, the whispering sound of the very low voice, and the sound of the wind shaking the fan next to her, this qiē was clearly amplified countless times, and it became a river of sound in the ears.

The old lady frowned, didn't bother to open her eyes, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Don't stay by my side, I haven't seen your son for so long, let's go and see." ”

The sound of talking suddenly sounded in the silent room, which startled everyone, and it took Mama Liu a long time to react, the old lady said this to her, she replied with a hard heart: "What is so good about this kind of unfilial son, it is a shame that Mrs. still remembers him, and he is also a slave and maid who is incompetent, raising such a son of evil, not to mention the face of the old Feng family, and bringing Mrs. tired." Having said that, but her eyes were sour for no reason, Mama Liu lowered her head and pretended to wipe it inadvertently and secretly.

"Don't be hard-mouthed, conceived in October, finally gave birth to a son, and raised him with hard work, how can there be a mother who doesn't feel sorry for her child, I heard you say that he is still honest, you can persuade him, if you can live in peace of mind, it is also your blessing."

Hearing what the old lady said, Mama Liu withdrew and went to see her son Feng Da.

Liu Qin couldn't bear it anymore and was wandering around in Zhuangzi.

Although they are all flowers and trees covering the courtyards, there is still a difference between Zhuangzi and Liufu, every flower and grass in Liufu, every brick and tile has traces of design, and the emphasis is on the staggered, while Zhuangzi is natural, everywhere seems to be naturally formed, without artificial power. Taking tree planting as an example, the ones planted in Liufu are mainly precious and good-looking, and pay attention to ornamentality, while the ones planted in the village are mostly fruit trees, which are more practical.

At this time, there was a cherry tree on the side of the road, the red fruit showed a ripe state, Liu Qin cheered, and rushed over with Cui Yu, she didn't want to eat cherries much, she enjoyed the fun of picking the fruit herself.

Cui Yu jumped up and grabbed a short branch, pulled it low, and called Liu Qin as she pulled, "Girl, quick, pick it quickly." ”

Liu Qin just happily picked two of them, and before he could put them in his mouth, he heard the voice of a mother-in-law from a distance, "Eh, who is there, don't you know the rules, can you pick this fruit casually?" The old men and ladies in the house haven't tried it yet, so let's put it down quickly. ”

Cui Yu rolled her eyes and didn't pay attention to it at all. The woman was even more angry, and ran all the way from a distance, but before she could speak, she heard a child's crisp voice call her, "Aunt Zou." ”

Aunt Zou's mother-in-law was stunned for a moment, and followed the voice to see a little boy in brocade clothes standing there, some familiar, but not the grandson of Liufu, I don't know which relative's child, Aunt Zou saw that it was a noble son, and she didn't dare to shout anymore, rubbed her hands and smiled: "The little boy wants to eat the fruit, the old man will pick a basket and send it to you, don't stand here, the little heart has hands and clothes." ”

Cui Yu sneered, and Liu Qin also smiled, "Aunt Zou, you don't recognize me?" I'm Qin'er. ”

"Girl?" Aunt Zou looked at Liu Qin suspiciously, and after looking at it for a long time, she vaguely saw some of the girl's past marks, "Why is the girl dressed like this?" ”

Cui Yu smiled: "Aunt Zou, your forgetfulness is so big, I have seen you twice with the girl, and you still can't remember me." Our girls like to dress up like this, so don't you recognise it in the future. ”

Aunt Zou slapped her thigh and said with a smile: "Alas, the eyes are not good, I don't even recognize the girl, the girl go back quickly, it's time to set the meal, and I will call a few small ones to kowtow to Mrs. to say goodbye." ”

As he was talking here, Cuiliu over there was also found, and the old lady had already gotten up and gone to the dining hall, and was sending people to look for Liu Qin everywhere.

When Liu Qin arrived, the people in the dining hall had gathered and divided into two tables, Liu Qin jumped to the old lady, sat down next to the old lady, and shouted to the two men standing next to him, "Uncle Cheng, there is a noble brother." ”

Uncle Cheng's name is Zou Mancheng, the son of the old lady's nurse, about the same age as Master Liu, and also the head of Liujiazhuang, Aunt Zou who just met is his daughter-in-law, Uncle Cheng is old, and now the actual manager of the village is his eldest son Zou Yougui, this time because the old lady came, Uncle Cheng was afraid that his son would not serve well, so he personally handled it, and took care of everything from food and housing.

Uncle Cheng, like Uncle Fu, likes Liu Qin, the only girl in the house, and every time he goes back to the house to give the property on the Zhuangzi, he will give Liu Qin a backup gift alone, so when he saw the girl this time, he was very happy, and said again and again: "The girl has grown taller again, and she is almost unrecognizable." Some time ago, the girl's birthday was prepared, but the gift prepared at the village was still in line with the girl's heart? ”

"Well, I like it very much, thank you Chengbo." For the girl's birthday, Uncle Cheng also asked his son to cut a few bamboos and came back, and personally made up a set of bamboo toys and utensils as a gift, although it was not valuable but it was better than delicacy and heart, which made Liu Qin very happy.

When waiting for the food to be served, Aunt Zou brought her family and a few stewards of the village to kowtow to the old lady, grandmother, girl and young master, the old lady exempted Aunt Zou from the ceremony, and after the others asked for peace, three more people came in outside the door, but it was Bai Rong'er and her grandmother and brother, Aunt Zou smiled at the old lady: "This child was sent by the girl, I heard that the lady, the grandmother and the girl came, insisted on kowtowing and thanking, and couldn't stop it, the slave maid thought, it is also the lady with a good heart, so there is this kind of thing to accumulate virtue, so let them kowtow, also fulfilled her family's wish. ”

The old lady remembered Bai Rong'er's matter, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be this child, it's strange and pitiful, I also heard Qin'er say that I only knew about her, since the child has this heart, then I will accept it, but the old man is old, you can help her sit next to me and let the two children salute." ”

Bai Rong'er and her grandmother and brother were already kneeling on the ground, Aunt Zou heard the old lady say this, and hurriedly picked up the grandmother, the two pulled for a while, and the grandmother stood up tremblingly, Bai Rong'er and Bai Lingfeng kowtowed respectfully to the old lady's table three times, and then got up and stood aside.
