Chapter 21: The Good House

The next morning, Cai Ling forced Yuan'er to drink porridge, but Yuan'er was silent, but the hand holding the spoon did not move at all. Cai Ling stuffed a whole spoonful of fish fillet porridge into his mouth, "Children don't eat much, beware of not growing tall in the future." ”

"Can you grow as tall as Heyue after eating? Was he very good at eating when he was a child? Yuan'er suddenly became interested.

"It's Uncle Yue." Cai Ling corrected and said, "He ate a lot when he was a child. That's why I'm so tall. ”

Yuan'er didn't say anything, but pulled two mouthfuls of rice hard. Cai Ling asked: "After leaving the house, can you find a gentleman to teach you how to write?" ”

"Yuan'er, don't teach Mr." The round head shook into a rattle.

"Then go to a private school." Cai Ling thought that when she was a child, she wanted to go to the academy to study with her friends, but her father was not allowed, so she invited three teaching gentlemen, from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to famous singers, and forced her to learn every day.

"Yuan'er doesn't go to private school either!" The child drank the whole bowl of porridge and glared at Cai Ling with big round eyes, "Yuan'er wants to worship Heyue...... Uncle Yue is the teacher. ”

"Do you want to apprentice?" Cai Ling laughed out loud, "Is your Uncle Yue demanding?" You're not going to make it that big. ”

"Won't I be able to eat seriously in the future?" He suddenly said solemnly.

"That might work." The setting of the Ling routine is complete, and it is triumphant.

The maid came to spread the word that the good girl was in the courtyard. Cai Ling asked people to invite, and smiled at Yuan'er again, "The person you have in mind is here." Unexpectedly, the child just smiled reluctantly and remained silent.

When Liang Mingyue came in, the maids added two more side dishes, and Cai Ling beckoned, "Come and eat some." ”

Mingyue said, "Sister Cailing is good." I had breakfast before I came. ”

"Then sit down." Cai Ling greeted thoughtfully and enthusiastically, and said to Yuan'er, "You are dumb." ”

"Hello auntie." Yuan'er jumped down from the chair and bowed down.

"Whoa." Mingyue's eyes were full of love, and she squatted down and hugged Yuan'er in her arms, "Auntie's good Yuan'er, Auntie misses you very much." With that, he kissed his soft little face again.

"I miss my aunt too."

Hearing this, Cai Ling thought that Yuan'er would cry, because Mingyue had already had tears in her eyes at this time, but the kid didn't shed a single tear, just looked back at Cai Ling helplessly. Cai Ling thought to herself: You have been an aunt all day long, and now your aunt is by your side, so be happy.

"Is there something wrong with my sister coming this time?" Cai Ling asked.

"A few days ago, Liangfu received a letter from my sister, knowing that Yuan'er had turned the corner, and my sister who was sincerely grateful to the whole house, my mother asked me to bring some gifts, hoping that my sister would accept it with a smile." As soon as he finished speaking, the house slaves of Liangfu sent large and small gift boxes.

Cai Ling didn't look closely, but said: "Yuan'er is also my nephew." ”

Mingyue's little face turned white in an instant, and she didn't know where to start, Cai Ling said again, "But the third sister-in-law did hand over the task of taking care of the child to Liangfu." I was just on a whim. ”

Mingyue hurriedly looked at Yuan'er, seeing that he seemed to be playing with beads and was actually listening to them carefully, after listening to her aunt's words, she couldn't help frowning, so she said softly to Yuan'er: "Xiao Yuan, you go outside to play with Sister Ting, she hasn't seen you for a long time, and she is very worried." ”

Cai Ling was stunned, it turned out that what Yuan'er said was right, when it came to getting along with children, she was 108,000 miles behind Yuan Mingyue. With this subtle movement, you can see that Mingyue cares about Yuan'er's every move, and is always careful to protect Yuan'er's inner emotions. Cai Ling felt guilty.

When Yuan'er jumped out of the room, Liang Mingyue hesitated and said, "Actually, I came this time because I had a reluctant invitation. I don't know how to talk to my sister......"

Before she finished speaking, Cai Ling said, "You take Yuan'er away." After a moment's thought, he added, "But come back tomorrow, and let me say goodbye to that kid." ”

Mingyue said a few thanks, smiled happily, and radiated a lot, Cai Ling Fang saw the beautiful face of the woman in front of her, no wonder Yuan'er said that Biluo was not as good as his aunt, she only thought Yuan'er was talking nonsense. Now take a closer look, but it can really be compared with the blue Tianzi country.

When Mingyue left, Cai Ling was not delivered. Manyun said quietly, "The girl really can't bear to send the little boy away?" ”

"Mingyue, she is very good at taking care of children." Cai Ling replied. The voice of the little girl coaxing the child came from the courtyard of the house, "Auntie's good baby must be obedient, and Auntie will come to pick you up tomorrow." ”

Cai Ling nodded the direction of her voice with her chin, "Yuan'er should grow up in soft words." After growing up in the past, there is a lot less anger in his eyes. It's good for him. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the little chubby dun rushed into the house with his head buried like a defeated rooster, and sat on the carpet without saying a word. Cai Ling smiled and asked, "I couldn't go back with my aunt today, I'm sad, isn't it?" You haven't thought about spending another day with your aunt? In the future, I will go to the original mansion to find you, which is inconvenient. ”

"What's inconvenient. You knocked on the door outside the mansion and said that you were looking for Jiang Moyuan, didn't the family let you in? He said angrily.

"Makes sense." Cai Ling hurriedly comforted.

"Unless you're leaving the capital too." He suddenly raised his head and looked at Cai Ling with horror in his eyes.

"I'm not going anywhere." Cai Ling squatted down and stroked his head, "Just do as you say, when the time comes, you remember to say hello to the family, saying that you have an aunt who occasionally comes to the house to see you." ”

"Occasionally?!"

"Every now and then." Correction of Cailing.

"Every now and then?!" Still not satisfied.

"Often." Cai Ling and then correct.

"Auntie is not allowed to deceive people." Yuan'er held her head high, and there was a slight brilliance in her eyes.

"Auntie doesn't lie." Cai Ling was reluctant to hide it carefully, and only asked with a smile: "If you have anything you want to eat, ask Sister Manyun to make it for you." If there is anything you want to play, my aunt will accompany you all day long. ”

"That's great!" Yuan'er finally burst into tears and laughed, "I want to eat rock sugar gourd, sweet candied fruit, sour plum soup, I want my aunt to play with me**, fly kites, kick juju, hide and seek......"

"Good! Aunt plays with you. Cai Ling also learned from Yuan Mingyue and kissed Yuan'er's little face.

Who knew that this child immediately pretended to be disgusted, "Huh! Yuan'er doesn't like to be kissed! ”

Cai Ling didn't come out of his anger, and thought: Why didn't you say it just now!

At dusk, the papier-mΓ’chΓ© kite hung on the big tree in the back garden, Yuan'er climbed the tree for a while to get it, and when he was halfway up and thought that day he didn't dare to come down after going up the tree, his aunt shouted loudly under the tree this time, so he gave up. The maid said, "The slave and maid ask someone to bring a ladder to get it." ”

"Take it off and send it to Liangfu." Yuan'er ran away with a smoke.

Cai Ling went to chase, he ran faster, the two chased for a while, Cai Ling held it in his arms, Yuan'er giggled non-stop.

After dinner, Cai Ling took a hot bath for the kid, looked at his thin little body, and advised: "If you go back and miss two taels of rice, two taels of meat, and two taels of vegetables for each meal, my aunt will not spare you." ”

"Yes." The child held his eyelids, but he gradually fell asleep in the tub.

Cai Ling wiped him dry and carried him back to the small couch, tucked the corner of the quilt and looked at the little face on the pillow, he slept very quietly under the candlelight, and there was no daytime noise at all, which was really pitiful.

Cai Ling slept on the big bed until midnight, and was woken up by a sobbing sound, "Have a nightmare? ”

The sobbing on the couch stopped, there was silence for a moment, and then suddenly there was another sob. Cai Ling asked again: "Do you want to talk?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the people on the couch were already crying. Cai Ling let him cry for a while before asking, "Don't you want to go back to Liangfu?" ”

The kid didn't say a word. Cai Ling turned inward, "Don't say it." ”

After a while, a crying child's voice slowly sounded, "Although the good house is good, grandma, aunt and uncle love me very much." It's just that Brother Song in my uncle's family always laughs at me for not having a father, I don't want to play with him, I like Sister Ting,

But grandma said that brothers should be harmonious and should not always think about playing with the maid, so she asked me to go to Brother Song every day, and if I didn't go, grandma scolded me. I just saw Brother Song again, and he was laughing at me for being a wild child who didn't want my parents. ”

"Don't be afraid." Isn't Brother Song of his uncle's family just picking up the child who died early that day, Yuan'er doesn't know that Brother Song is no longer there, and he won't have a chance to make fun of him in the future, but who knows if there is a second or third Brother Song in the original mansion, "Have you ever explained to your grandmother why you don't want to play with Brother Song?" ”

"I said it." Yuan'er was very aggrieved, "But grandma only said that she blamed my mother for finding a useless one." ”

Yuan'er said the second half of the sentence very quietly, but Cai Ling felt that there was a thorn in her heart when she heard it. She got up and sat on the edge of the bed, "Your grandma doesn't know. Your father is very powerful, and his carved pen bed can be sold for 100 gold in the twilight Xuan. ”

She lied again, but she didn't regret it, "Does your grandma love Brother Song very much?" Cai Ling asked carefully, she was afraid that the old lady would blame Yuan'er for her grandson's early death.

"Grandma always leaves the best for Brother Song. But Brother Song doesn't have much contact with his grandmother. Yuan'er replied.

Cai Ling thought for a moment, and then said quietly, "Good Yuan'er, it's okay not to go back to Liangfu?" ”

Yuan'er replied: "Don't go back to Liangfu?" Where do I go? My aunt also said that my mother entrusted me to Liangfu. ”

"Are you only a mother?" Cai Ling whispered softly, "From now on, follow my aunt." Your father must want you to follow your aunt. ”

"My aunt wants me!" Uncontrollable joy, the little hairy child had already jumped to the side of Cai Ling's bed, shook Cai Ling's arm and said, "Great! That's great! ”

Cai Ling smiled, "Go back to sleep." What's the fuss in the middle of the night? ”

"Auntie...... "I want to sleep with you," her round eyes twinkled like stars. ”

Cai Ling stretched out her hands to lift Yuan'er onto the big bed, waited for him to climb inside, and then carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for him, and advised, "Only this once." ”

"Hmm." Yuan'er still had tears on her long eyelashes, smiled beautifully, and closed her eyes with satisfaction and fell asleep.

Cai Ling couldn't sleep. Although she and Shen Muchi lived together in the palace, they hadn't seen each other for a month. She deliberately avoided it, and the other party was busy with political affairs, and they both abided by the original agreement, that is, from now on, they only regarded each other as friends and never mentioned the past.

But this time to fight with the good mansion, the only way to Cai Ling is to beg Shen Muchi. Shen Muchi is a nostalgic person, and he is willing to help her save Yuan'er, so naturally he will not ignore Yuan'er's anger in Liangfu, as long as she talks to him well, it will not be difficult to solve this matter. But where is she willing to owe Shen Muchi any more kindness, her eyes are fixed on the cabinet, Ru Yuezhai's account book can finally be used to the fullest.
