Chapter 18: The East Wind and the West Wind

Li Mingwei was sitting by the window and laughing with Aunt Zhou, and when he saw Ying Yue hugging Brother Shen in, he frowned and said, "How old are you, and let people hold you, I let you practice martial arts, I want you to endure hardships, if you act, ask the maid to hold it, don't practice it as soon as possible." ”

Aunt Zhou saw that Brother Shen was willing to get close to Ying Yue, and she was happy in her heart, this child didn't like Mama Liu, and she was awkward everywhere, if Ying Yue could envelop his heart, she could know what he was doing at any time, and some things would be easy to arrange.

Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "Brother Shen doesn't want to be hugged on weekdays, it's easy to get to me today, and there are children who are coquettish, wait for me to talk about him later." ”

Li Mingwei thought that Brother Shen left his biological mother at a young age, and it was not easy to live alone with his mother-in-law, and now the child who was just so little was going to live in the outer courtyard, Yun Feng was very reluctant, and he didn't say anything, it was rare for Yun Feng to understand things so well, Li Mingwei felt that he owed his mother and son, and remembered that he was not with his mother when he was a child, and couldn't help but slow down his tone, "You are also older now, don't eat and play like before, and practice with the master, In the future, I will also earn a life for your biological mother, and she will not give birth to you in vain. ”

Aunt Zhou hurriedly hugged Brother Shen, "Brother Shen is so young that he has to practice the martial arts of Na Laoshizi, I always can't bear it in my heart, but my mother can't help it, son, who let you not be born in Mrs. Shen's belly, but I was delayed by my incapable mother." ”

Brother Shen couldn't help but speak, he said innocently, "I listen to my master's words, learn martial arts hard, and earn my mother's life." ”

Aunt Zhou was overjoyed, hugged Brother Shen and didn't let go, and called into Chunhua and Qiuyue to come in, and asked Brother Shen'er about his diet carefully, fist and motherly heart, it was really touching, Aunt Zhou rewarded Chunhua and Qiuyue in front of Li Mingwei A few small silver ingots, telling them to serve Brother Shen well, and praised the girl Lamei with a smile.

"I went to see Brother Shen last night, and saw that Lamei's girl served well, but I didn't think about it well, so I wanted to reward Lamei with a pair of silk bracelets, and the maid didn't dare to ask for it, saying that she was the person who the old lady rewarded Brother Shen, and she didn't dare to receive my aunt's reward, this girl has a good character, and I can rest assured that she follows Brother Shen."

Li Mingwei didn't care, "It's just a maid, there is so much arrogance there, but it's good that she is not greedy for money, and she can also be reassured by Brother Shen'er's side, you pass on my words, reward Lamei twenty taels of silver, let her serve well, the person given by the old lady is not bad." ”

Aunt Zhou smiled and took out the pair of red gold silk double buckle bracelets, and said to Ying Yue, "You go to see your sister Lamei, let me explain, this bracelet was originally a little bit of my heart, not a reward for her, and there are twenty taels of silver rewarded by the lord here, so I said that the lord knew her loyalty and asked her to take care of Brother Shen." ”

As he spoke, he ordered the rice to be passed and let Brother Shen accompany him to dine together, and the family of three was happy.

The atmosphere in the main room is not so harmonious, Qi is pregnant, now there is no need to go to the old lady early in the morning to say goodbye, the two daughters still have to go to their grandmother's side for breakfast, Yuqin saw that her father has not come over, she couldn't help but look outside, Qi was busy asking the nurse to send her to the old lady, Yuqin pouted, and followed the nurse to the old lady's side.

Yutan heard that Aunt Zhou went to the outer courtyard last night, and this morning a little maid came to tell her, saying that the Hou Ye took Brother Shen to the West Cross Courtyard, Yutan felt uncomfortable at first, and thought that this could not be hidden from her mother's eyes, so she saw that Lamei came over there. Lamei saw that the second lady was busy standing and said hello, and said with a smile that she wanted Mrs. Guan to ask for some potted plants and decorate the yard.

Yutan smiled, "It's also worth a reply between you and my mother, no matter what, you send a little maid to talk to me, and I'll let people dial a few pots when I turn around, so I don't care about these trivial things." ”

Lamei smiled, "The slave and maid still have a love for it, so I didn't go on this trip in person." ”

Caidie saw her coming, and said with a smile, "Madame is in the house, Sister Lamei go in." ”

Yutan saw that they had something to say, so they went to the old lady first, several sisters in the house came, and when they saw her come in, they all stood up quickly, Yutan smiled and asked her grandmother to say goodbye, and sat next to her grandmother.

The old lady sighed first, "Now that Brother Shen has gone out, he won't come in in the morning to greet me." ”

"Grandmother, my brother is a boy, how can he be like us, with us with you."

The old lady still felt uncomfortable, and said the old words that pressed the bottom of the box, "When your father was a child, he also lived in the outer courtyard alone, and he was so young at that time, I thought about it panic......"

Yutan hurriedly diverted the topic, said something that the old lady was interested in, and accompanied the old lady to wipe the dominoes for a while, before going to deal with those housework, and took time to see her mother halfway, and saw Qi's embroidery there, Yutan hurriedly snatched the flower bandage, "Leave these jobs to me, I said that I will do it for my mother, I have to be busy myself, my mother is not resting." ”

Qi smiled, "I think about when you and Yuqin were children, I made clothes, shoes and socks myself, and I can't be partial to this, right?" ”

"Can that be the same?" Yutan complained, "At that time, the family was not rich, my father's expenses were more, and the family couldn't afford to raise needlework at that time. It's not easy to give birth. ”

Yutan asked curiously, "Mother, what is the matter with Lamei coming over this morning?" It's not just about potted plants. ”

"It's not a big deal, that is, Aunt Zhou went there last night, and rewarded her with a bracelet, and rewarded those big and small maids with many things." Qi couldn't help but smile a little puzzled, "Zhou Yunfeng, this person is a little interesting. ”

Seeing that Yutan didn't understand, the Qi family didn't say much, but talked about another thing, "In a few days, Yingguo Gong's house will set up wine, this time it is also your grandmother who took you over, you pay more attention to everything, Yingguo Gongfu can not be compared to other families, people who come and go are very particular, our family is not enough, and there are some who were originally good with your aunt, and they have to be squeezed outside the words, you have to deal with it carefully, although your aunt's family has declined in the past two years, there are still three relatives and six reasons." ”

Yutan hesitated for a while but said, "Mother, I have hidden one thing from you, and I have been hiding it from you for a long time." ”

Qi Shi glanced at his daughter curiously, "What is the matter?" If you don't want to say it, there is a reason why you don't want to say it. ”

"Yes." Yutan took a deep breath, "I was afraid that Sister Yuxin would be locked up in the ancestral hall at first, but that day I met Li Yuxin again at Zhang Dutong's house, and she became so much that I almost couldn't recognize her." ”

Yutan said all about Li Yuxin's disguise as a man, "Mother, it's me who is not careful, she asked me to meet, I actually went to see her, she, she seemed to have another purpose, pulled me to say this and that, I noticed something wrong and ran out, she chased after me and asked me for a purse, several half-old children heard it, this time it was really thanks to Brother Shen, I don't know what this Brother Shen thought, he said to those children, Li Yuxin is our little maid who serves my father." ”

Thinking of Brother Shen'er's capture of Yutan, he couldn't help but smile, Qi's face changed greatly, "You are not allowed to see Li Yuxin again in the future, she wants to trap you to death." ”

After asking Brother Shen what he said, Qi pondered on the couch.
