Chapter 44: From the Heart
Qi Hong shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know. ”
"Where is Liu Qing now?" Liu Ke asked as he walked.
"When the slave came out just now, Sister Qing was still in Xiuzhuyuan." Qi Hong followed a few steps back.
Liu Ke nodded and walked towards his Xiuzhu Garden.
After entering the door, she instructed Yuye to hand over the things that Tong Rust had brought back to her from Le'an for a while and give them to Liu Qing to put away.
It's just that at this time, Liu Qing was anxiously spinning in place, and when he saw Liu Ke enter the door, he hurriedly stepped forward, and without waiting for Yuye to speak, he pulled Liu Ke into the door, "Miss, you're finally back-"
Her words weren't finished yet, so she only heard Yuye Lang outside the door say loudly: "Why is Sister Xiangling free to come?" ”
Liu Qing was busy, turned around and saw that it was indeed Xiangling from the Compassion Garden, and greeted him with a smile and said, "It's not too early or too late, why are you here?" ”
Xiangling came to her and said with a smile: "Naturally, I came to find the eldest lady," and then gave Liu Ke a short salute and said: "Eldest miss, the old lady has been looking for you several times, hurry up." ”
Liu Qing hurriedly smiled at Xiangling and said: "My sister, don't rush, our eldest lady was yelling uncomfortable this morning, and now it's better, I'm coaxing her to change into thick clothes and go over, as soon as you urge, my tongue will be in vain for most of the day." ”
Liu Ke glanced at Liu Qing, never expected her to have such a lively mind and eloquence, and couldn't help but smile at her.
Xiangling listened to Liu Qing's words, and hurriedly said: "I said that the old lady passed it a few times, but the eldest lady didn't go over, so I'll go back and tell the old lady, don't let her old man misunderstand." ”
"I changed my clothes and went over, and told the old lady that I was fine." Liu Ke hurriedly said to Xiangling.
Xiangling has always liked Liu Ke's lenienness, and said with a smile: "Miss, just rest assured." With that, he left.
After Xiangling left, Yuye quietly closed the door to them.
Liu Qing saw that there was no one left and right, and quietly said to Liu Ke: "Miss, not long after you went out, the people of the Zhu family sent someone to see Mrs. Cui, who was waiting in the upper room, said that when they spoke, they mentioned you, Miss, and the slave must not know what is going on." ”
Liu Ke was also stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what moths they were going to produce.
At this time, Liu Qing hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The slave maid is a few years older than the eldest lady, and there are some things that the eldest lady has not thought of, the slave and maid will cross the distance today, and I hope that the eldest lady will not blame her." ”
Liu Ke smiled and said, "You just have to say it." ”
"Now the eldest lady is also thirteen, and when she turns the New Year, she will be in time, and she has reached the age of marriage, although the eldest lady is hurt by the old lady, but this marriage event is the order of the parents, and if the wife sets it for the young lady, I am afraid that the old lady will not be able to refuse, and it should not be said, that the wife is not the biological mother of the young lady, how can she really choose a husband from the position of the young lady, naturally it is the word first, and you yourself have to make plans in advance."
Liu Qing's words were all heartfelt words, and after Liu Ke heard it, his heart couldn't help but warm, and he smiled on his face: "I have written down everything my sister said, but this marriage matter is not something I can control, I just hope that the old lady can take care of these things before his wife, and that is my blessing." ”
Liu Qing nodded and said, "What Miss said is also true, if only someone could remind the old lady of one or two." ”
"Go find me clothes, don't make the old lady anxious." Liu Ke stopped the topic.
Liu Qing's words have been finished, and those who should be reminded have also been reminded, according to her understanding of Liu Ke, she felt that Liu Ke must have been concerned about this matter, so she didn't say anything more, took a slightly thicker dress for Liu Ke to change into, and accompanied her towards the Garden of Compassion.
When I walked to the gate of the Compassion Garden, I was greeted by a girl citron.
When Citron saw Liu Ke coming, she hurriedly turned around and said to the opposite person: "Go back to the old lady and say that the eldest lady is here." ”
Liu Ke walked to the courtyard, and a small figure ran out of the door, threw himself into her arms, and almost knocked Liu Ke into a stumble.
"Sister Ake, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss me to death."
Hearing Liu Kun's childish voice, Liu Ke's mood was comfortable for no reason, and he smiled: "I'm used to saying good things, why don't you come to see me." ”
Liu Kun raised his head in Liu Ke's arms, and grinned and showed his jagged teeth: "Mr. doesn't allow me to take a vacation, and I have to study hard, so that I can surpass Sister Ake's knowledge in the future, so I don't have to be teased by my sister." ”
"Call the eldest sister!" Liu Ke whispered angrily.
Liu Kun grinned: "Isn't there no outsider here!" ”
"Who's an outsider?" Yoo Jin's voice came.
Liu Ke looked up and saw Liu Zhen and Liu? Willow? Stood in the doorway.
Yoo Jin still had a meaningful smile on her face.
Liu Kun turned around without scruples and said: "In my eyes, except for the eldest sister and sister, all the peers in the family are outsiders, how are you doing?" ”
Willow? I didn't care about this, but I just smiled when I heard it, and I didn't take it to heart.
Liu Zhen felt that she couldn't hang it on her face, and it was not easy to get along with a child, so she said to Liu sourly? smiled: "Second sister, we have become outsiders, so let's get out of here quickly." ”
Willow? Hurriedly played the round and said: "Brother Kun is joking with his sisters." After speaking, he stepped forward and took Liu Ke's hand and said, "Eldest sister, let's go in, don't let the old lady wait." ”
When he entered the door, Liu Ke saw a room full of people, not only the old lady, the eldest wife, the third wife, and the fourth wife, but also the old lady Liu Jiafu, Liu Ming, Liu Xu, Liu Yi and the juniors in the family, even the stone inkstone who was not in two of the three was there, but Liu Feng was missing.
Liu Ke hurriedly stepped forward to salute the old lady and the old lady one by one, but when he was about to salute Liu Ming, he was pulled by the old lady to sit beside him.
The old lady held Liu Ke's hand tightly and asked, "Listen to the girl back and forth, saying that you are not happy, this will be better?" ”
Originally, I wanted to blame her for not seeing anyone for so long, but after listening to Xiangling's words just now, I was worried and more than worried, how could I blame her.
Liu Ke smiled: "It's just that the weather is getting colder, and I can't adapt to it, and I'll be fine in a few days, don't listen to the girls, old lady, Sister Liu Qing is too careful, she doesn't let her granddaughter come out after eating hot tea, and she has to wait for the heat on her body to go, and I found thick clothes to change before letting me out." ”
"It's good to be careful, they are careful to serve, and I will worry less." Everyone can hear that the old lady is really interested in Liu Ke.
Liu Ming was especially relieved to hear this, and looked at his grandparents and grandchildren with a smile.
The old lady Liu Jialu put his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly: "We are here to discuss the matter of tomorrow's festival, originally Zhimo said that he would hold a chrysanthemum banquet and invite us to celebrate the festival together, but how can there be a reason why the main family does not do the east and let the Hakka do the east festival, so tomorrow we will have a banquet and invite guests from afar." ”
Liu Ke speculated in his heart, this Shi Yan really didn't treat himself as an outsider, and he didn't go home for the big holidays, so he was stunned that he didn't leave Liu's house, and such a big formation was actually to discuss how to entertain Shi Yan.
After the old lady's words fell, no one answered, the scene was silent for a while, and Shi Yan said: "Tomorrow is the festival, the old lady will arrange it according to the same as in the house, don't worry about me, when I return to the table on the 16th, I will invite all the brothers and sisters in the family, and we will have a happy day." ”
After he said this, his eyes glanced at Liu Ke, and he hurriedly withdrew it.
This scene happened to be seen by Liu Zhen.
Liu Zhen's brows were almost invisible.
After Liu Jialu heard this, he looked up and smiled "hehe" and said, "Okay, good, good, it's up to you." ”
When everyone saw that Liu Jialu was happy, they all echoed and said a few words.
Liu Jialu and the old lady Wang had tiredness on their faces, and everyone retreated.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the Garden of Compassion, Liu Ke was pulled by Liu Ming.
"Ke'er come with me, I have something to ask you." Liu Ming said with a solemn face.
