Mama Li volunteered to talk to An Ruolan, but she didn't want to get things done, but she was ashamed, and she became the biggest joke in the Hou Mansion.

However, what saddened Mama Li the most was not the ridicule and jokes of others, but Meng's indifference.

Knowing Mama Li's behavior in An Ruolan's room, Meng Shi also felt ashamed, she didn't even want to see Mama Li's face, and directly asked Wanxue to pass the word, telling Mama Li to enjoy Qingfu in the future, and no longer have to worry about the affairs in the fifth room, and there is no need to serve in the room anymore.

To Mama Li's ears, this is to let her be an idler and stop meddling in things.

Mama Li regards Meng's as more important than her life, to put it mildly, she can't serve Meng's, she doesn't know how to live.

So Mama Li cried and cried, and ran to Meng Shi to plead and cry, but she didn't want Meng Shi to even look at her, so she directly asked the maid to send her back to the room.

Even so, Mama Li still didn't complain about Meng's at all, only thinking that it was the evening snow in Meng's ears.

With full of resentment, under the successive blows, Mama Li was depressed and finally fell ill.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated, Mama Li is sick at this time, and she is naturally regarded as bad luck by others, and those maids and women who have been unaccustomed to her earlier can step on her sore spot vigorously, which makes her so angry that she goes out of her body and ascends to heaven.

For a while, Mama Li even thought about it but died, but when she thought of her simple and kind master, she couldn't swallow that breath and couldn't close her eyes. She is reluctant to let her protect the young lady from childhood to adulthood, and live alone in this backhouse that eats people and does not spit out bones, she wants to protect the beautiful young lady who is surrounded by wolves!

With this firm and strong thought, Mama Li, who was about to die, miraculously recovered, in addition to being thinner than before, her eyes were more gloomy, and she looked more mean than before, she even looked more energetic than before she was sick. However, she did not immediately return to Meng's side, but chose to wait for the opportunity.

When the sky of Shengjing was snowflakes again, the Chinese New Year's Eve arrived.

This day is destined to be the most lively day of the year, early in the morning, the entire Shengjing City fell into a boundless festive atmosphere.

Because the old marquis took all the men of the mansion to the ancestral tomb to pay respects, early in the morning, the Wenxin Marquis Mansion was very quiet.

"Sister Ke, you wait for us!"

A cheerful and crisp cry came from the verandah, breaking the silence, and the servants and maids who passed by looked back one after another, only to see the second miss leading the sixth miss, the fifth miss following the two, and the three of them chasing the fourth miss to play.

Seeing the cheerful smiling faces of the four young ladies, the subordinates couldn't help but smile, and turned back to continue to work on their own work.

At the end of the verandah, An Ruolan and the three of them could be regarded as catching up with An Ruoke, and before the three of them could catch their breath, they saw An Ruolan cross-waisted and glared: "You guys are too slow, grandmother and they will all come out of the Buddhist hall in a while!" ”

"You're running too fast!" An Ruoyan pouted and retorted breathlessly.

"Okay, okay, hurry up, we still have to incense the Bodhisattva!" An Ruojin hurriedly persuaded peace, and the four sisters held hands and walked happily towards the Buddhist hall behind Songhe Hall.

In the solemn and solemn decoration of the Buddhist hall, the old lady wore an emerald brown dark pattern forehead, a new Fulu Sixi Ruyi cloud pattern brocade forging jacket, a navy blue cotton skirt, and a thick brocade and silver rat skin cloak for the eight regiments of happy encounters, and was kneeling on the futon to pray, muttering in her mouth: "Bodhisattva bless, bless the prosperity of my Hou Mansion, harmony and tranquility." ”

Behind the old lady, the five ladies also bowed and prayed devoutly.

On the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, in addition to the old marquis to lead the male to visit the ancestral grave, the old lady also led the lady of the mansion to visit the bodhisattva, praying for prosperity and auspiciousness in the new year.

There are no requirements for the ladies in the house.

After the old lady took a group of daughters-in-law to worship, she let everyone disperse, leaving only Murong to accompany her, and she continued to meditate and pray in front of the Buddha.

When the four sisters rushed to the Buddha Hall, only the old lady and the Murong clan were left inside, and when they saw the old lady meditating, they did not immediately rush in, but poked their heads, picked up the door frame, and hid outside to look.

Murong saw the four pretty girls hiding outside the door, and seeing the cute appearance of the four people probing their brains, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, and pretended to look at her sternly.

The four sisters were not only not afraid, but also covered their mouths and giggled.

The old lady heard the movement, and knew that it was those naughty ones coming, so she opened her eyes and said with a smile: "Come in." ”

Only then did the four of them shrink their necks stupidly, and called obediently: "Grandmother, mother/aunt." One by one, he walked out from behind the door.

The old lady did not open her mouth to blame, but smiled lovingly: "The auspicious time has not yet passed, hurry up and put incense on the Bodhisattva, so as to bless you with peace and security in the new year." ”

"Yes, grandmother." The four of them bent their eyes and agreed, went to the Nanmu box to get incense and lit it, knelt on the futon in a proper manner, and kowtowed earnestly and prayed.

After the four of them had incense, Murong helped the old lady to get up, followed by four small tails, and the group walked out of the Buddhist hall.

"Oh, you go, grandmother loves you the most!"

"Don't, second sister, you go, the eldest mother is still there, I can help you speak."

"Ouch, it's best for you two to go together!"

"Sister Ke, why don't you go?"

Murong Shi helped the old lady and walked a few steps, when she heard the four little tails chirping behind her, she deliberately turned her head and glared, and saw that the four girls who were pushing and shoving were immediately honest.

Pursing his lips and smiling, Murong pretended to reprimand sternly: "What are you arguing about, if you have something to say, grandmother loves you the most, and you are still worried that grandmother is not to blame?" ”

This sounds like a reprimand for the four people, but in fact, it is a bridge for them, and by the way, it also gags the old lady's mouth, so that the old lady can't agree or not, otherwise she won't hurt the four granddaughters.

Regarding the eldest daughter-in-law's "overstep", the old lady just smiled.

In the old lady's opinion, the Murong clan is stable and capable enough, but in the past, there was a lack of aura, but now there is nothing missing.

With Murong's words, the four sisters didn't push me anymore, exchanged glances with each other, and gathered around the old lady together, pulling the corners of their clothes and hugging their arms.

"Grandmother, it's the New Year today, the street is so lively, we also want to go out for a walk, you just let us go!"

"Grandmother, you are the wisest, you will definitely let us go, will you?"

"Grandmother, grandmother, let's go!"

The four of you say a word to me, and they are coquettish and sycophants, and the old lady feels that her head is going to be dizzy.

"Good, good! Grandmother promised, promised! The old lady hurriedly responded, smiled at the four of them, and said, "My old bones are going to be scattered by you, and my eyes are dazzled!" ”

The four of them hurriedly laughed flatteringly, and beat the old lady's arms and shoulders.

"Okay, okay, you know how to be courteous." The old lady stopped the four of them with a smile and said, "It's okay to go out to play, but you must have elders with you." The streets are crowded with people, but they are also chaotic, and I am not at ease. ”

"That's what Mother said." Murong nodded in agreement.

An Ruoke rolled her eyes and said loudly: "Grandmother, grandmother, let my mother go with us!" ”

Hearing this, An Ruolan and the three of them immediately guessed what her idea was, and echoed loudly: "Let's go with Sanniang!" ”

Sanniang is good, Sanniang is bold and open-minded, she will not restrain them the most, and she can play with them.

The old lady saw through their careful thoughts at a glance, and said angrily: "Sanniang can go with you, but it is not enough." ”

"Why don't you let the second aunt accompany you, the second aunt is fine, I want to be able to take care of these girls." Murong said, she was naturally worried about the safety of the children.

An Ruojin was the first to purse her lips and was glared at by Murong Clan.

The old lady nodded and agreed, "That's okay, let the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law follow." ”

"Ah-" Hearing this, the four of them were a little depressed, Erniang is so fierce, this must not be allowed and that is not allowed.

"If you complain, you won't go." The old lady and the old god were talking, and the four of them hurriedly covered their mouths and shook their heads in unison, indicating that they didn't say anything.

The old lady and Murong were both amused.

The second lady and the third lady got together as usual, and when they received an errand to accompany the children shopping, the third lady applauded and clapped her hands and said, "This errand is good, I like to play with the girls!" Let's go, second sister-in-law, let's leave quickly, the girls must be in a hurry! With great interest, he pulled the second lady and ran out.

The second lady was quite helpless, but she also had some expectations in her heart. Since being woken up by her sister-in-law and third aunt, she has put more and more thoughts on her daughter, and she has gradually realized the benefits of her daughter.

Two adults and four children, after meeting at the second gate, they happily left the Hou Mansion together.

The streets are more lively than expected.

The gongs and drums are noisy, the firecrackers are constant, the dragon dance is playing the lion, the stilts are beating the waist drum, all of which attract people to take their eyes off, and the various stalls on both sides of the street are even more dizzying.

The second lady was tired, not only to take care of the four girls, but also to take care of the third lady, the eldest child, she was almost exhausted.

Fortunately, the four girls didn't wander around the street for too long, and after shopping for a while, they ran into the Taibai Building, and the second lady and the third lady followed in, just when the second lady thought that she could finally rest, God gave her another blow.

"Second Aunt An, Third Aunt An." Zhou Mi'er smiled and saluted to the second and third ladies.

Several other girls also came up to salute and greet them.

The second lady was startled, raised her eyes, and found that not only the young lady of Zhou Shangshu's family was there, but also the third young lady of the Yongning Hou Mansion and the young lady of the long house of Meng Guofu.

It seems that we are busy today, and such a large group of girls is not easy to serve, the second lady thought painfully and happily.

Compared with the melancholy of the second lady, the third lady can't wait to come a few more. R1152
