Chapter 4 The Old Grievances of the Anguo Waiting House
The sun spilled in through the window lattice, the blue screen window was the shadow of the thrush outside the window, the maid Cuimo was sitting on a chair near the window doing needlework, the May day was already very hot, and it was even more drowsy in the afternoon, there was a girl's laughter outside the door, "My sister is working harder and harder, and she doesn't rest on this hot day, and she paints, and she should have a headache for a while." ”
Li Yuxin came in with two maids, she seemed to be in a good mood, Yutan hurriedly put down the paintbrush in her hand, "It turns out that Sister Xin is here, Sister is free to come over today?" In the past, I couldn't see my sister in the past, is my aunt okay? ”
The two sisters sat together and talked, and Cuimo hurriedly served tea.
"My mother is not like that, it's good day by day, let me see your painting first, whether it is beneficial or not."
When Cui Mo heard this, he pinned the unfinished painting and hung it on the wall, and the two sisters enjoyed it side by side, "My sister painted it casually, the layout is not good, my sister should point out to me." ”
Li Yuxin's mouth was a little bitter, this Yutan painting is getting better and better, a fluffy kitten is lying under the peony flower, and it is already very charming before the painting is finished.
"My sister's painting is really good, my sister is getting worse and worse than you, I came over today to say hello to my sister, I heard that you have an extra brother." Li Yuxin had a smug smile on her face, "These are some of the toys I packed up, all of which Brother Jin played with when he was a child, so give them to your brother to play with." ”
Yuxin's maid came over with a big box, Yutan smiled when she heard her say this, "It's really a happy event, since Brother Jin is gone, our family has not had a boy for a long time, this time my brother came back, my mother was the happiest, and now Baba ordered someone to clean up the house for my brother, and the big and small maids were selected and chosen, and even my daughter was not so careful." ”
Li Yuxin's face changed and changed, she soon smiled, and said a few words to Yutan about her younger brother, Yutan smiled, "Cuimo, you go and bring the few gadgets I prepared for my brother." ”
Cui Mo took it like a treasure, "Miss, you see that my young lady has been thinking about the little young master these days, the little young master is small, I don't know what he likes, my young lady has prepared a lot of fresh gadgets, and the fifth young lady is looking forward to the little young master every day, and our house will be lively in the future." ”
Li Yuxin couldn't sit still, and was about to say goodbye after saying a few more words, Yutan hurriedly stood up and sent her out, "Sister, don't you go over to see your grandmother?" Yutan said with a smile.
"Dead Nizi, that's your grandmother, I'm making a fuss." Li Yuxin said with a smile, and took the maids to the east side of the garden without looking back, passing through the small corner gate on the east side of the garden, which is the mansion over there.
Yutan sighed quietly, she and Sister Yuxin were getting farther and farther away.
Cui Mo looked at Li Yuxin's back and couldn't help but take a sip, "Miss Loss can think of it, and she is not too unlucky!" actually sent the dead brother Jin's things over, did she think that she didn't have a deep enmity with us? ”
"Forget it, you lost that box of things when you go back, don't tell my mother about it."
Yutan knew that Sister Yuxin was awkward, Li Yuxin was used to being the proud daughter of the sky, where could she endure the embarrassing position now, the little girl sighed, in fact, Sister Yuxin thought too much, she is still the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, and her grandmother still wants to give her a blind date, and she also said that she wants to let Sister Yuxin marry beautifully.
Yutan didn't want to go back to the house, she divided the flowers and willows all the way, not far in front of the magnificent Chunhui Garden, his father specially built the courtyard for his grandmother, his father couldn't bear to move out of the main courtyard where he had lived for many years, so he made a new change on their side, demolished the bungalows in the next area, expanded the area of the mansion, and asked the old mountain Ming Gong to help plan, changed the feng shui layout of the Hou Mansion, rebuilt the magnificent carved gate building, and carved a pair of stone lions, this time the widow still lives in the original place, The center of the Hou Mansion has shifted, and everyone has to say that Li Mingwei is benevolent and righteous.
Li Mingwei took the opportunity to accept the Hou Mansion's trading shops, and there was a grudge between the two mansions, in fact, this grudge can be even earlier, when the old An Guogong died, the prince Li Minghan asked his stepmother to go to the family temple to pray for the old An Guogong, the old An Guogong lived in the family temple for more than two years, every morning bell and dusk drum, pure heart and few desires, who would have thought that the inheritance of the Hou Mansion would change?
Li Minghan lost his life with typhoid fever, and the Anguo Houfu was attacked by Li Mingwei, and the inheritance of the Houfu was transferred to the second room, so it is no wonder that the orphans and widows in the long house were uncomfortable.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, Yutan can't say anything in her heart, she can't forget her uncle and aunt's cold eyebrows to their family, and she can't forget the bleak days that her grandmother spent in the family temple, and she can't forget her mother's careful planning for the family's life, and now their family is living well, and her father has not forgotten to bring three rooms and four rooms.
Sister Yuxin came to this show, Yutan just smiled, what did it mean for the family to be dirty.
"Miss, look, Lamei and the others are out."
I saw Lamei and the maid and the maid and the mother-in-law hugging the little master and going to Bihuaxuan, Yutan stood under the shade of the flowers and watched for a while, her little brother was so small, wearing a red dress, held by an old mother, and she couldn't see her face if she was far away.
Yutan also saw Aunt Zhou, who was lost and depressed, and saw Aunt Zhou slowly returning to the West Cross Courtyard with the maid, the concubines in the house are not qualified to walk around at will, and the West Cross Courtyard is the small world behind Aunt Zhou.
Mother is really amazing, through the hand of grandma to get my brother out, my father is not good to say anything, Yutan is also a little surprised, she wondered in the morning why her mother didn't want her brother to come down, it turned out that her mother was waiting for her grandmother to say this.
"Cuimo, you go to the small kitchen to pick up a few snacks and send them to the little master, and then ask him what he wants to play, and ask him if he likes the ones we have prepared."
Yutan also wants to be a good sister, no matter what, this younger brother should be recorded in her mother's name, this is her own brother, Yutan is still a little melancholy in her heart, it would be good if this younger brother was born by her mother.
Mother accompanied her grandmother to play cards again, and came back very late, Yuqin couldn't wait to fall asleep, Yutan hurriedly greeted her, "Mother, I'll sleep with you tonight." ”
