Before Mu Hongsheng and Gu Yilan went out, Mrs. Mu sent someone to find Huiming as usual. As a result, Huiming sat still calmly, and waved his hand at Cuiliu, who was running errands: "It's just to go to Daxiangguo Temple, let Hongshang go by himself." ”

"Master, you agreed before you entered our mansion," Cuiliu replied unhappily, "Wherever our eldest lady goes, you have to be close to protect you." ”

"Maybe I still need to worry about the difference, but I don't need to worry about it." The wrinkles on Huiming's face were piled together, and his expression couldn't be seen clearly: "Whether there is a phase or not, don't worry about the old man, Daxiangguo Temple is a territory without phase, and nothing can happen." ”

"You're not a fortune teller." Cuiliu pursed her lips.

"Go," Huiming unceremoniously rushed to Cuiliu: "If the old man says no, don't use it." Don't be here Rory, delay the old man's recitation. If you can't even look at the child, that guy is too useless. ”

"Humph!" Cuiliu was so angry that she stomped her feet, turned around and ran to Madam Mu to complain.

Cuiliu ran away, and Hui Mingcai closed his eyes again, ready to start chanting, and his mouth was also muttering complaints, looking unhappy: "Worry." Isn't going to the temple just going back to the teacher's door! A large number of brothers and sisters are staring, what can happen, and this little also comes to the old man, and it is in vain to delay the effort. ”

Huiming refused to cooperate, and Cuiliu was so angry that she went back and sued him in front of Old Madam Mu.

After hearing this, Old Madam Mu thought for a moment and asked, "He said that there is a master of Wuxiang, and he doesn't need to worry about it?" ”

"That's what I said." Cuiliu replied, "It's as if he's so familiar with Master Wuxiang." But Master Huiming has been to our house for a few years, and I haven't seen any dealings with the Zen masters of Daxiangguo Temple, or something happened a few days ago, and the eldest lady begged him to go to Daxiangguo Temple for a trip, and then there was nothing to follow. Who knows if it's bragging. ”

"Leave him alone," Old Madam Mu waved her hand: "Since he said so, let Hongshang and his granddaughter-in-law go by themselves." Anyway, it was only a few streets away, and it was only a quarter of an hour by carriage, so it wouldn't have been anything. ”

"Old lady!" Cuiliu originally wanted to say something more, but Old Madam Mu shook her head at her and interrupted her: "Cuiliu, what do you guys think, I know. You can't wait to put the red clothes in front of you every day and take care of them with your own eyes. But she is not a child anymore, and she will always have to leave home in the future. And...... Even so, Jinyi can't come back, and if something happens to Jinyi, it's not because you take care of it, so don't be too careful. With her sister-in-law by her side, as well as lotus leaves and water chestnuts, the red dress is fine. ”

Cuiliu lowered her head and didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, she whispered: "Old lady, they are all children who grew up in front of the slaves!" ”

Mama Wang, who was standing beside Mrs. Mu, kept her head down, and a tear fell, smashed on the placket, and splashed into a small watermark. Mama Wang quickly rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief, then walked to Cuiliu's side, stretched out her hand and pulled her: "Okay, don't worry about it." The old lady said it was fine. Today I want to steam osmanthus cake for the eldest lady, you help me get a jar of osmanthus nectar. ”

Cuiliu choked up and admitted her mistake to Old Madam Mu, and then lowered her head and left with Mama Wang. After they left, Old Lady Mu sighed softly. Cuiyun, who had been standing quietly on the side, walked over with a pair of beauty fists at this time, sat on the pedals in front of Mrs. Mu's bed, and began to beat the old lady's legs.

Old Madam Mu lowered her eyes and glanced at Cuiyun, and said slowly: "Cuiyun, am I being too harsh on you. Hongyi and Jinyi, since they were young, they stayed in my room for most of the day, and you and Cuiliu have helped take care of them since they were ten years old. Until now, so many years......"

"Old lady," Cuiyun replied softly, "you are not wrong. Cuiliu refused to match when she was eighteen years old, and the slave maid is a widow, the two of them are the same, they will not have their own children in this life, the eldest lady and the sixth young master are often in your room, and they can be regarded as the slaves and maids who have taken care of them and raised them with their own hands, so they naturally have deeper feelings. But what the old lady said was right, the sixth young master...... There is no way back, and the slaves have to accept it. The eldest lady is also older, and she will ...... in the future In the future, I will marry and leave home...... Slave...... Slaves...... All the slaves and maids know is that when they think of it...... When I think about it, I feel ......."

Cuiyun finally couldn't help crying as she spoke. Old Madam Mu sighed gloomily and reached out to pat Cuiyun's shoulder.

At this time, Mu Hongsheng, who was being talked about by many people, was already dressed and waiting to get into the carriage by the second gate.

"Miss," Lotus Ye hurriedly ran over with the small package Mu Hongsheng used to go out: "The old lady just sent someone over to spread the word, saying that Master Huiming will not accompany you out today, so you don't have to wait for him." ”

"Oh." Mu Hongsheng nodded indifferently: "Then when the sister-in-law comes, let's go." ”

"How did you pack so much stuff?" Water chestnut looked at the package in the lotus leaf's hand curiously: "Isn't it just a trip to Daxiangguo Temple!" Just bring a change of clothes. ”

"Handkerchiefs, sachets, or something." Lotus Ye replied: "When you see it, you will take it all." There is also the tea that the lady usually drinks. ”

"Where do you need to prepare these?" Water chestnut couldn't help but laugh: "Today, it's the young grandmother who accompanies our young lady out of the house." The young grandmother is careful, and she must have prepared everything for the young lady. If you don't believe it, wait and see, the package in Fang Zhi and Fang Xin's hands must be twice as big as you. ”

As she was talking, Gu Yilan came over with Fang Zhi and Fang Xin. Sure enough, as expected, Fang Zhi and Fang Xin each held a huge package, twice the size of the small package in the lotus leaf's hand. Mu Hongsheng's master and servant couldn't help but smile when they saw them.

"Strange." Gu Yilan touched her face inexplicably: "Is there something wrong?" Why do you laugh so much when you see me? ”

"Sister Water Chestnut was still saying just now that the package brought by Sister Fang Xin and Sister Fang Zhi must be twice as big as Sister Lotus Leaf's package." Mu Hongshang smiled and pointed to the package in Fang Zhi and Fang Xin's hands: "Look, is this really the case?" ”

Gu Yilan looked back at Fang Zhi and Fang Xin, and couldn't help but smile: "Naturally, you have to be well prepared when you go out, where can you make do." ”

"So the slave maid was still talking just now," the water chestnut replied with a smile: "Follow the young grandmother out, the lotus leaf and the slave don't need to prepare anything, just bring a replacement skirt for the young lady." ”

"Just empty-handed." Fang Zhi immediately smiled: "Our young grandmother has brought a change of clothes to the eldest lady, the young grandmother is so thoughtful, where is there anything you can't think of." ”
