Chapter 179: The Eve of Departure (1)
The time soon came to the evening of the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, Li Xin was still cooking in the small kitchen of Songhe Hall, and then she, Mrs. Ling, Ling Ziye, and Ling Feifei all had dinner here in Songhe Hall.
After dinner, several people sat down and talked.
Early tomorrow morning, Li Xin and Ling Feifei will leave, and Old Madam Ling is naturally very reluctant.
After so many years of hard work, how much effort and energy it took to finally get this only granddaughter back! But I haven't lived at home for long! It's really reluctant to leave. This time we are separated, and I don't know when we will be able to meet!
"You're leaving tomorrow, Xin Yao and Fei Fei, have you packed up your things?" Old Madam Ling asked.
"Let my grandmother worry about it, everything has been packed up." Li Xin responded. Since she told Old Madam Ling that she was going to leave the Ling family, she began to pack her things, and these days, there are not many things, so naturally she packed up early. Come to think of it, Ling Feifei's side, Aunt Zhou should have packed up all her things early.
"My aunt also helped me clean up my things." At this time, Ling Feifei's love was actually very strange. She was naturally very happy to be able to go out and see the outside world. It's just that I am naturally reluctant to leave the home where I have lived for so many years. I am reluctant to leave this family, and I am even more reluctant to leave the family that loves me.
Actually, Li Xin's love is not complicated, he has lived in the Ling family for such a long time, so naturally he will not be without feelings. However, she still has to go back after all, compared to the Ling family, Wenbo naturally needs her more. In the Ling family, without her, naturally there are so many people who will take good care of Mrs. Ling, and their children and grandchildren will also be very filial.
However, Wenbo didn't have anything, they were just her.
And in terms of feelings, the relationship between her and Wenbo is naturally deeper.
Therefore, although the Ling family also had some reluctance, they still had to go back in the end. In her heart, in this world, only the Li family is her home.
"It's good that everything is packed up. What about those who serve around you? Have you chosen them all? Especially Fei Fei, you've never been far away! The people around you are indispensable. ”
"My aunt chose it for me, saying that the people who served around me brought it, and the people who served around her also gave me one." Ling Feifei replied truthfully. Ling Feifei is considered a young lady from the concubine, but the Ling family has never deliberately treated the concubine badly. Therefore, there are a lot of people around Ling Feifei, at least they are almost the same as Ling Xixi.
A nurse, known as Mama Zhong, is actually not very old, she is about 30 years old. Since he was a child, he was the son of the Ling family, and when he was young, he served in the inner courtyard, and when he was old, he was pointed out by his master to a small servant in the house. After getting married, she was still serving in the house, and at first she was just an ordinary servant. Later, she gave birth to a few children, and when Ling Feifei was born, the house wanted to choose a nurse, so she was selected, and she became Ling Feifei's nurse.
In fact, at Ling Feifei's age, she didn't have to use a nurse for a long time, but the Ling family has always been very kind to nurses. After all, the master of the milk is big, and there is no merit in the house, and there is hard work. After asking Zhong Momo's meaning, Mama Zhong was still willing to serve by Ling Feifei's side.
This is also good, Ling Feifei is young, and she really needs an older person to serve her. Speaking of taking care of children, Mama Zhong has had several children, so she is naturally very experienced.
Except for Mama Zhong, there are mainly maids. The two big girls, Hongyu and Luzhu, are now thirteen or fourteen years old. Then there are second-class maids and third-class maids, all of whom are not very old, only eleven or twelve years old. When you are younger, you can be a playmate for Ling Feifei, and she is already capable of serving herself, so these little maids don't have much work.
"Although it is better to say that there are more people, I can take good care of you. It's just that they all followed, and it didn't seem to be appropriate, there were too many people, and it was not easy to arrange to go there. Old Madam Ling muttered. She understands Aunt Zhou's love for her daughter, and she must want Fei Fei to live well. If there are more people around you who serve, it will be more appropriate to serve.
It's just that Ye'er also said that the place on the Li family's side is not very spacious, and so many people go, I'm afraid it's too crowded. Moreover, in such a small town, the Li family was originally a small family, and if there were a large group of servants in and out, it would be a little inappropriate for people to look at it.
Originally, the Li family had a small house, and the family could also build or buy it with money to build or buy a big house, but she knew that Xin Yao would definitely not agree. After getting along for so many days, she also knows a little bit about Xin Yao. This child, although he is still young, is a very self-reliant person who always dislikes the gifts of others.
"My aunt will inevitably be inconsiderate, so it's better for my grandmother to arrange it for me!" Ling Feifei hugged the old lady's arm and coquettishly.
Old Madam Ling smiled and said, "I see! You can take your nurse and a few red jade and green beads! Don't bring the others, these three people can take care of you. Besides, there are people in your cousin's house who will take care of you. ”
"Grandmother is right, then take the three of them!" Ling Feifei agreed. I wanted to go out and have some fun, but I didn't like that there was always a large group of people following up on the roots! Besides, there is a nurse to take care of her, and the others are not very important.
"What about you, Xin Yao? Caiyun and Caixia, you must bring them. The people who are waiting in Caixia Pavilion, do you think it's appropriate? How many to pick? The matter on Ling Feifei's side was settled, and Old Madam Ling looked at Li Xin. Fei Fei's side, she doesn't have to worry too much, with Aunt Zhou here, she will definitely worry about her daughter.
Only Xin Yao, in this family, Xin Yao's affairs, others will not pay too much attention to it, and only she will worry about Xin Yao.
"Grandmother, I don't actually have to bring anyone. I'm so old that I can take care of myself. And there are people in the house who are waiting, so you don't need to take someone with you. Although Caiyun and Caixia are very good, she has no intention of taking the maid back from the Ling family.
It's okay to have Sister-in-law Wu to help cook at home, and the rest, your own things can be done by yourself, and there is always someone to serve you where you need it!
I have to do everything for my servants, and I always live such a pampered life, and I am afraid that my hands and feet will be inflexible in the future. What's more, she always has to do work at home, and it's not convenient to take a maid! If she goes to do the work, and there are maids with her, and they don't help her do things, the maids will definitely feel that it is not appropriate.
If you say that you help her do things, the maid next to such a rich lady is more expensive than the young lady of a small family. Even in the house, you don't have to do much, just do something, it's also very simple and light, where will you do the work in the field!
In fact, when Caiyun and Caixia mentioned that they were going to leave with her, she had already thought about it. She still didn't think it was appropriate to go back with Caiyun and Caixia. If you stay in the Ling family, Caiyun and Caixia may have a better life!
"How can this work? There is no one in your house to watch for you. There are always a few people around you to serve, these days, Caiyun and Caixia, I look pretty good, and I am very dedicated to serving you. Even if you don't bring the others, you will always have to bring these two people. If it's everyone around you, I don't feel at ease! ”
"But I really don't need to be served by anyone, no one has served me before, and I'm not doing well."
"It used to be before, and there were no conditions at that time, but now it's different! Although you can do things yourself, it's just that if someone helps you, wouldn't you also be more light-hearted? Old Madam Ling was still trying her best to persuade Li Xin.
"This is a kind gesture from my grandmother, and my cousin will accept it! My cousin went back this time, and I don't know when I'll be back next time! If there is no one around my cousin, my grandmother will definitely not be at ease! Ling Ziye also helped persuade Li Xin on the side.
This cousin! The temperament is too stubborn. The Ling family is also her home! But how could she not like to accept what was given to her by her family! He knew that she was a very self-reliant person, and the maturity and stability that she appeared on weekdays always made people feel that she was beyond her age.
Although she has her own abilities and is fully capable of supporting herself, she can live well. It's just that she makes herself so tired! There was never a shortage of money or anything in the house, if she wanted to. In this life, you don't have to do anything, you don't have to work hard, and you can live this life in wealth and glory.
I don't know how many people in the world can't ask for such an opportunity! However, she was not willing to accept anything. Although she occasionally appeared greedy for money and would get a little money from him, she seemed to do so just for fun, not really trying to get money from him.
However, maybe it's her appearance that makes it easy to attract people's attention! If there is no difference between her and most women in the world, then she is just an ordinary and vulgar girl, and she really won't be so moving.
"Look, that's what your cousin said! You can leave the others with you, but you should take Caiyun and Caixia with you! Good no good? It's just to give my grandmother this face. Old Madam Ling took Li Xin's hand, and there was already a faint plea in her eyes.
Looking at Old Madam Ling like this, Li Xin really couldn't refuse anymore. R1152
