Chapter 64: Aunt Zhou is back again
A green silk oil-walled car quietly parked at the back corner door of the Hou Mansion, and the two pretty maids helped Aunt Zhou get out of the car, only an old lady came out of the second door to take care of it, looking at the green tiles and red walls in the yard, Zhou Yunfeng secretly recited the Buddha, "The old lady is back again." ”
Walking through the moon gate, looking at the trees in the yard withering in the cold wind, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, I accidentally missed Brother Shen'er, the little wolf cub, and almost got it to the point of no return, Zhou Yunfeng secretly reminded herself, you are just an aunt, you can only endure it, you can only wait for Brother Min to grow up.
Aunt Zhou kowtowed outside Qi's yard to ask for sin, and Qi didn't see her, only sent a little maid out to say a few words, and sent her back.
In the evening, Li Mingwei had to come over to take a look, skipping the wind and moon without mentioning it.
Aunt Zhou has a motherly heart, a heart is remembered on the two sons, she cooks every day, the soup is made, and people send it to Brother Shen and Brother Min, Brother Min is very smart, and he has learned to memorize a thousand words in just a few days, but Brother Min has not been in good health since he was a child, and he has a fever and cough at every turn, Aunt Zhou looked distressed, so she detained Brother Min, kept him by his side, let him study in the house, and did not allow him to go out to play.
Aunt Zhou is dedicated to Brother Min, and she refuses to ignore Brother Shen, all kinds of playthings are close to Brother Shen first, singing birds, fighting roosters, and talking starlings are all given to Brother Shen to play, as well as all kinds of rare and hard-to-find playthings, and all kinds of painting books in the bookstore are hard to play with Brother Shen.
The old lady looked at it and liked it, because Aunt Zhou was back, and she remembered another thing that day, so the old lady asked Mei Xiang, "It's really old that people can't remember anything, follow Brother Shen, how many little maids are there now, how old are they?" I remember that there was a guy called egg yolk, and he came to say that year, and he looked really good. ”
Mei Xiang smiled, "That girl is no longer called egg yolk, now she is called Jiangxian, but the old man remembers this name, and the little girl knows that she can't cry to death?" The eldest son was naughty when he was a child, and now that the eldest son is in school, he has already changed the names of a few little maids. Mei Xiang talked to the old lady carefully, and the old lady pondered for a while, "I didn't pay attention before, Brother Shen'er didn't have a competent person around him, you called Mama Qin over." ”
Mei Xiang was a little puzzled, but it was not good for her to ask, so she sent a little maid over to pass the word, there was not much time, Mama Qin came over, "What does the old lady want to order?" ”
The old lady said, "I also just asked Mei Xiang to remember, Brother Shen is not a powerful maid by his side, the few selected back then are a little bigger than him, although they are also beautiful, in the end they are bigger, catch up Ming'er, you carefully choose a few up, adjust early. Teach, you don't have to stick to those rules, you must be beautiful, and you will leave it for Brother Shen to use in the future. ”
Mama Qin couldn't help but laugh horrfully, "The old lady really loves her grandson, she even thought of this, too, the eldest son is getting older and older year by year, and it seems that he should be able to use these little maids, and the love of growing up since childhood is different." ”
The old lady smiled and said, "How do you know that for my brother Shen, my heart is about to break." ”
Mama Qin accompanied the old lady to wipe the dominoes for a while, and flattered her, seeing that the sky was going to be dark, she also said goodbye and went back, the news in Chunhui Hall could not be hidden, there was someone looking for Mama Qin that night, and it was the filial piety of firewood and rice, Mama Qin just accepted it with a smile, and had another plan in her heart.
The old lady was on a whim, and it was enough for Mama Qin to be busy for a while, and the soft things were not less useful, and it was almost the same, Fang went back and forth to the old lady, and brought the five carefully selected little maids to the old lady to see, the old lady saw that these children were born very well, although they were children, the little faces were white and tender, and the little hands were good, the old lady was happy in her heart, so she rewarded Mama Qin and asked her to send it to Brother Shen.
Here Aunt Zhou heard that the old lady had just given Brother Shen five beautiful little maids, and she was also busy selecting two beautiful little girls from her own family, and now Baba spent silver to buy two, both of which are extremely beautiful, and now Baba sent them to Brother Shen.
Brother Shen looked at the nine new little girls in the house, and he didn't know what to say, his mother was a "mother", and his grandmother was also a "grandmother", which was really thoughtful for him. But the elder didn't dare to resign, if he didn't want these little maids, it would be unfilial, and if this big hat was buttoned on his head, he wouldn't dare to bear it.
Besides, with the old lady's knowledge, I thought that a man should like beauty, if he didn't like it, it would be strange, the old lady might come up with some strange thoughts, these little girls are only six or seven years old, and it is strange and pitiful to leave home and come here, if they are really sent away, they will lose people, and there is no better place to go.
Brother Shen asked Lamei to arrange them to live in the row of houses at the back, and they were not allowed to walk around in the upper room on weekdays, and dressed them as boys, and raised them as a small servant, and Brother Shen's backyard had nine more handsome little offspring.
After February, Brother Shen's teacher came back, Brother Shen resumed his life of reading during the day and practicing martial arts at night, and taught these little girls to read and write when he was free, and taught them to bow, play with slingshots, and play with spinning tops.
It was originally a plaything for Brother Shen, and Brother Shen was happy, and the old lady also tossed with him.
Brother Shen saw that his grandmother didn't care, so he simply found several little girls, all of whom were about the same age as him at the age of seven or eight, and let them accompany them to study and practice martial arts, Brother Shen'er's husband could not teach these children, Brother Shen found a talent on the ground, only twenty taels of silver a year, let him teach these children to read, from time to time, Brother Shen found these children to play football and juju, cockfighting and lackeys, and had a lot of fun.
Brother Shen had a lively time here, Aunt Zhou was secretly happy, and she wished that Brother Shen could continue to play, and she tried her best to get some interesting playthings for Brother Shen, and the painting book sent over was mixed with several **, Brother Shen sneered when he saw it, and threw it into the fire and burned it to ashes.
Aunt Zhou sent a lot of food, not with the same for several days, Brother Shen took it with a smile every time, and turned around and rewarded the little maid to eat, Aunt Zhou has a calculation in her heart, she will not blatantly do the poisoning, she just wants to poison that she has to think of blaming others, she can pretend to be a sad mother, and Aunt Zhou, who will leave an obvious handle, will not do it, if it wasn't for the old lady who was willing to lift her up, her mother's family was developed again, and she didn't dare to go to the Qi family to provoke.
