As it turned out, Sister Hui was not bad.

At the beginning of August, just after the beginning of autumn, the second master Chu Jinhui entered the capital.

It's been ten days since Aunt Zhou was grounded.

In the past ten days, Sister Hui saved Mingzhe's life, and on the grounds of the recurrence of typhoid fever, she said that she was sick in bed, closed the door of the hospital, and did not see anyone. Everyone also cooperated, and during the period, only Sister Lian brought something to visit.

Sister Hui took a group of maids and women to stay in the yard, reading, cooking tea, playing the piano, and chatting about gossip, but it seemed that she felt a sense of escapism. It's just hard to be bored with ink qin and ink painting.

The beginning of autumn is a major event, and the house itself is going to hold a family banquet, so it is natural to go out.

As soon as the courtyard door was opened, news flocked from all over the place, but the rumors outside still gradually subsided, and the biggest news at present was indeed that the second master's family returned home at noon today.

"Aunt Cao died, the sixth lady set the original family, the fourth lady got the old lady's jade Ruyi of the Burmese attack, but at night it was the broken things in the house were dropped, the day before yesterday, the old lady gave the eldest lady another remote yard, and the servants below were all matched according to the standards of the lady, and now there is no one in front of us."

As soon as the courtyard door was opened, the ink painting followed the wild horse, changed into the newly made autumn clothes in the house, embroidered with a circle of dark flowers on the skirt, and there was a hidden fragrance when walking. That's the news she got from wandering around in her new clothes.

There are many things in the middle that Sister Hui can't guess, and the ink painting is secretly full of excitement, just waiting for Sister Hui to solve her doubts after listening. But I saw Sister Hui patting her dress, putting the newly made incense into a velvet wooden box, slowly washing and drying her hands, and then took Qiu Ju to Shoukang Hall, and said lightly when she left: "It's been hard these days, let's go out for a walk for the rest." ”

"Miss, are you going to let them all go out to find out the news? Isn't that a lot of fanfare? Walking on the road, Qiu Ju asked tentatively

"The reason why I had to close the door of the hospital was because I wanted to avoid those rights and wrongs, but now that the matter is over, we are going to listen to the news with such fanfare, on the one hand, it really helps us to grasp the trend, and on the other hand, it is to make the old lady think that she can figure me out."

When she didn't go out before, the old lady was also in dire straits, eager to save her family, and didn't care about her, and now when everything is almost settled, she has to hurry to find out the news as soon as she comes out, that is, the old lady feels that she is easy to see through and she can control it.

Before entering the door, Qiushuang stood at the door and shouted: "Today, the doctor said that the third lady is good, but she can come out and walk, the old lady is happy to hear it, and she also said that she wants to take the freshly framed painting out for you to see." ”

"Come in, please." As Qiu Shuang spoke, she lifted the curtain and welcomed Sister Hui into the door.

"Say hello to Grandmother." Sister Hui hadn't seen the old lady for a long time, so she simply knelt down and saluted.

This ceremony is more important than the greeting ceremony, expressing her guilt for not being able to serve her for many days. The old lady could see it, and immediately put a smile on her face, and nodded again and again: "Well, okay, you get up." ”

"Thank you, grandmother."

"This time the body is very good, so I can't stay up late to study and suffer from the cold, our women's family doesn't need to read so many books, the more we know, the heart will be wild." The old lady pulled Sister Hui to the front, touched her forehead, and saw that she was no longer feverish, so she put her heart down and preached.

Sister Hui smiled and hung her head in response.

"Come, let's take a look, among the sisters, you have learned a lot of painting, this is a leisurely mountain residence picture just painted before, let the steward go out to frame, but it looks always unsatisfactory, you help me take a look." The old lady pointed to a painting spread out on the table and said.

Sister Hui nodded, took a closer look, and saw that the brushwork should be made by the old lady. The whole picture is based on Shoukangtang, as long as it is much simpler, surrounded by rockeries piled up with strange stones, and the top of the mountain shows the appearance of some bamboo leaves. The person in the hall was none other than the old lady herself, dressed in a loose skirt, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue and praying reverently. As soon as I saw it, it was just a copy of Shoukangtang, and I couldn't talk about the leisurely life of the mountain house, but I couldn't say that.

"Sister Hui'er is clumsy, this painting is excellent, if you really want your granddaughter to find one or two wrong, I'm afraid that the material of this framing is a little too simple, and my grandmother is a person with deep blessings, so it's better to use some rich paper and patterns." Even if the old lady nodded, in fact, she meant the same thing.

"You have listened to what the third lady said, find your housekeeper Chu and reframe it again." The old lady pointed to Mother Zhao behind her.

Zhao's mother knew that this time the family didn't do a good job of helping the old lady, so she quickly took away the painting and left, and there was no side talk during the period.

"By the way, your second uncle is going to enter Beijing in two hours, and you are also ready to prepare." The old lady remembered something and said.

"That's good, my granddaughter also wants to meet my second uncle."

The old lady's face froze slightly, quickly returned to normal, and nodded. After that, the grandfather and grandson said some things about the wind and snow, although the old lady did not read much, but she was very proficient in making some small crafts, Sister Hui took the newly made spices this morning and said together, the old lady analyzed the head of the way.

After this was over, Sister Hui thought about it and felt that she could still go to Qiao's side to have a look.

After Sister Hui left, Zhao's mother quickly hurried back to Shoukang Hall and said: "Old lady, as soon as the third lady went out this morning, she sent all the maids and mothers-in-law around her to go out to find out the news, but it was not half as the old lady expected. ”

"yes, I see."

Sister Hui entered Shunhe Hall and went straight to Sister Jing.

"Yo, my sister is also infected with wind cold?" Qiaozhu led Sister Hui into the door, and when she saw the woman stepping on the woman wrapped in a white cloth, Sister Hui quipped.

"I'm hi, third sister sit." Sister Jing smiled embarrassedly at first, and instinctively wanted to respond, but she threw off the headscarf on her head and walked quickly to Sister Hui'er.

As soon as Sister Hui sat down, Sister Jing'er had a pair of eyes glued to her, looking up and down.

"Say it, just say whatever you want." Sister Hui squinted amusedly and said.

On the night after the incident, she ran to Qiao's to ask tentatively, and when she returned, Qiao's was happy to teach her. But this time, he scolded her, and then told her not to inquire again. But on the second day, Sister Yan was resurrected with full blood, so she came to Shoukang Hall to ask for peace and listen to some clues, but this matter was learned by Qiao's family, and the two sisters were directly left in Shunhe Hall in the name of discussing homework.
