Aunt Li arrived at Dagui's house, saw Daguiniang, and directly explained her intentions, "Daguiniang, I heard from my head that you have a sheep in your house that you want to sell, right?" The eldest lady said while introducing Aunt Li into the house, "There is such a thing, but it is sold with that sheep cub." The eldest lady didn't bend around and wiped her feet, and told the conditions first, "The ewe is two taels of silver, and this little lamb cub has eight hundred yuan." Why do you want to buy it, sister-in-law? I haven't heard from my father. ”

"I didn't buy it, I bought it for someone else." Aunt Li felt that the price was a bit high, "Can it be less, it's not easy for that family." "Okay, then it's fifty Wen less, and this has to be the price on the set," the eldest lady happily lowered the price, "However, Cuihua's sister-in-law, who is this buying for you?" She wondered who had made the village chief's wife so eager to help.

"I'll tell you about this later, the money will be given to you, and you can count it." Aunt Li took out the money and handed it to the eldest lady, she still had in her heart whether Lin Zhu and Ruyu could be optimistic about the little bun Fu Dou'er, afraid that if he woke up and cried, they would not be able to do it well, so it was inconvenient to talk to the eldest lady, and after a few kind words, she led the two sheep away. Leaving the eldest lady with the money, she was stunned to watch Aunt Li leave several times faster than usual, and sighed that she was strong and walked like a fly.

Aunt Li returned to Lin Zhu's house and tied the sheep first. Wash your hands and enter the house again, Lin Youqing has already arrived at this time, Lin Zhu told her what happened, and she has recovered from the fright of seeing Xiao Baozi at the beginning. This will see his mother enter the house, and hurriedly ask her to sit down and disperse the cold first. After all, it was winter, and you had to enter the house slowly from the outside. Aunt Li didn't say anything when she saw that Xiao Baozi didn't wake up, just looked at Lin Zhu's inquiring eyes, and whispered, "The sheep was bought." Lin Zhu was immediately relieved when he heard this, and the food for the small bun was settled.

Aunt Li rested for a while, then asked Youqing to take out the cotton of the cloth and prepare to make a small quilt, "Xiaozhu, there is not much cotton left in Auntie's house, you have to prepare some, and you have to make a cotton jacket and small clothes for Fu Dou'er." "Okay, it's not too late now, I'll go to beat Brother Dazhu and go to town." Auntie, take a look at what else you need, and I'll buy it back. Lin Zhu immediately got off the kang and was about to go out, so Aunt Li gave Lin Zhu some baby things one by one. That is, some of the things to be worn for the little bun Fu Douer, such as muslin and the like.

When Lin Zhu was about to go out, Steward Zhang arrived, firstly to send her some medicine, and secondly, to give her the New Year's gift. Steward Zhang came in a carriage, and brought a lot of things, five packets of medicine were kept for the little buns, as well as two muslin cloths, snacks, and a small box. Lin Zhu didn't have time to be polite to Steward Zhang now, so he took the things away first, and then asked Steward Zhang to go to the vegetable cellar to take back the cabbage she had divided. Steward Zhang knew that Lin Zhu would be very busy today, so he didn't stay long, and after loading the cabbage into the car, he left.

Lin Zhu first received the things he sent into the house, and before he had time to take a closer look, he hurriedly went out to find Lin Dazhu. Leaving Aunt Li's mother and daughter at home, Aunt Li looked at Dr. Zhang's return gift, which was really a lot, and the value was much higher than what Lin Zhu had sent. Although the contents of the box were inconvenient to open and see, the two muslin cloths alone were worth three or four taels of silver. I can't help but sigh at Lin Zhu's good luck.

Lin Zhu came to the town and first went to the cloth shop to buy some light-colored muslin and cotton. Because the things of the small buns should be used separately, I bought some cloth towels to wipe my face, feet, and bath. I bought a few feet of red muslin cloth and prepared to go back and make a few belly pockets and pillows for the little buns. First put these on Lin Dazhu's ox cart, and Lin Zhu went to the grocery store to buy two wooden basins, one large and one small, which were prepared for the daily use of the small buns and used in bathing. I bought a lot of miscellaneous things, and Lin Zhu went home.

Just when Lin Zhu and Aunt Li's family were busy with Fu Dou'er, at this time, in a room in the main courtyard of a mansion in the distant capital, there was a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old, holding a small bun and talking affectionately. The nurse next to her, the maid, surrounded four or five, it was very lively, and everyone was looking at the little bun in the man's arms with a smile on their faces. All kinds of praise are endless.

And in a cross-courtyard not far from this courtyard, a beautiful woman about the same age as the man was lying on the bed, she seemed to have given birth for a short time, listening to the maid's reply, "Auntie, on the way back from his hometown, Steward Xu encountered heavy snow and accidentally fell off the cliff. The woman nodded slightly, and waved at the maid, who left the room in a reckless manner. The woman played with the jade bracelet in her hand and said to herself: "Fight with me, now your son is also reunited with you, thank me, the mother and son on Huangquan Road also have a companion, and the person you trust the most will personally change your son to my son, and my son will enjoy this glory and preciousness for your son." ”

"Someone." The beautiful woman called softly, and the maid who had just gone out quickly came to her, "Auntie, what do you have to order?" "Chunxing, the family in charge of the affairs should take good care of it." Although the woman spoke softly, from the change in the maid's face, it could be seen that the meaning of these words was not as simple as it seemed. But she was still ordered to go out.

What happened in this cross-courtyard, no one outside will know about the road, but the darkness and seeds are deeply planted, but I don't know when the road will erupt.

In another family, the wife of the family was also listening to the reply of the people below, "Madam, just now the people from the Yamen, Steward Lin and the Wang family were killed by bandits in Feng County. The corpse has a sign on the body to prove that the property has been looted. The lady who sat on the main seat was about twenty-three or fourteen years old, and held a silver openwork stove in her hand. "Madame Hui, yes." "Okay, I know the way, you go down. By the way, give some wine money to the people from the yamen. ”

After the man left, the eldest maid beside Mrs. poured tea for her and said, "Madam, you should relax, this person is not as good as heaven, it is God who helps you, and no one will know where that person is, let alone threaten the status of the eldest lady." "I'm not worried, this is also an accident, I originally wanted to wait for them to come back and talk about the situation of that person, so that the uncle can rest assured."

The lady stood up, raised her hand, and motioned to go back to her house, and the maid helped her away.

The subordinate who replied just now came to the gate from the side door, and handed a purse in his hand to a catcher, "Thank you for the news brought by the official, please drink tea for these small meanings." The servant weighed the purse in his hand, was pleased with the weight of it, and said to him with a smirk, "The house is so polite." As he spoke, he took his purse into his arms. After sending the catchers away, the servants turned around and entered the door and closed the door. The plaque on the gate is impressively written with two big characters of Lin Fu.
