Chapter 35 New Year's Greetings
Liu Yingxue took a bite of the Lantern Festival, soft and glutinous, she didn't expect the old lady to bring her food, she ate four of the eight Lantern Festival, and left the rest for Xiaocui, reluctant to eat them all.
After eating the Lantern Festival, according to the custom, it is to pay New Year's greetings to the elders, Liu Yingxue thought that since the Lantern Festival was sent, she should also go to the old lady Gao to pay New Year's greetings, although the old lady had been reluctant to see her before, but she had to give it a try.
Seeing that she was going to pay New Year's greetings, Xiao Cui's face was a little worried: "The old lady will drive us out." ”
Liu Yingxue glanced at the Lantern Festival on the table and smiled helplessly; "Even so, we have to go."
She took Xiaocui to the old lady's door, Yun Xiang looked at her in disgust, and drove her out: "Miss Cousin, why are you here again, didn't the slave maid say that the old lady doesn't want to see you?" ”
Liu Yingxue raised her head and shouted into the door: "Old lady, Yingxue has come to greet you for the New Year." ”
Yun Xiang pushed her out, and the silver teeth clucked: "What do you mean by this young lady, the slaves and maids have said to let you go quickly, are you deaf?" ”
Just as she was in trouble, the voice of the old lady came from inside: "Let her in." ”
Liu Yingxue smiled faintly at Yun Xiang, and continued to walk towards the house with Xiao Cui, the house was warm with charcoal, and the old lady sat on a wooden chair by the charcoal fire, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and her face looked a little peaceful.
"Yingxue has seen the old lady, today is the first day of the new year, I came to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady." As she spoke, she presented the painted danqing to Mrs. Gao.
The old lady opened it and looked at Danqing, there were many carp painted in it, and the fish looked lifelike, but it was a picture with auspicious meaning.
Old Mrs. Gao handed Danqing to Feng's mother and instructed, "Put it away." ”
She was relieved to see that the old lady had accepted her painting, and that she had not seen her for a while, and the old lady did not seem to be as dissatisfied with her as before.
Mrs. Gao ordered the maid to bring her a lamp, and withdrew the people around her, her face suddenly became serious, and she raised her voice a little and said: "Xiaoxue, Ming Xuan said in the letter, let me take good care of your life in the mansion, although our Gao family is defeated, but it is more than enough to raise a person, but I am old, and when can I protect you, you have also seen the situation in the mansion, now Mrs. Wei is in charge of the Gao family, your life in the mansion may not be easy, it is better to wait for the beginning of spring, I will find a Gao family's Zhuangzi for you to live in." ”
The expression on Liu Yingxue's face suddenly became stiff, and the whole person was almost petrified, and she endured it for so long, but in exchange for the old lady's words, she still had to send her away from the Gao family's ancestral house after all, this Miss Biao was an unjustifiable master.
Her hands were clasped tightly together, and she replied with a steady mood: "Xiaoxue is willing to obey the old lady's arrangement and leave the Gao family's ancestral house." ”
Seeing that she agreed, Mrs. Gao's tone became a little softened: "You can rest assured, I will definitely find a good Zhuangzi for you to live in, you are still the cousin of the Gao family, Xiaocui, you can also take it to Zhuangzi, and when you reach the age of marriage in a few years, I will naturally find a good family for you." ”
Liu Yingxue didn't want to embarrass Mrs. Gao, although Gao Mingxuan had insisted on letting her stay in the house, but the people of the Gao family didn't want to see her, maybe leaving was the best choice.
"Xiao Xue Xie old lady arranged." She was blessed, and a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes.
