By the time Sister Lianzi in the Shen family's courtyard came to pass the word, packed up her things and prepared to hurry, and those bulky and bits were not needed, it was already the end of August.

In the morning, I went to the main courtyard to ask for peace, and An Cheng and An Mei each got a mutton fat jade pendant.

An Cheng looked at the jade pendant carved with the pattern of peach blossoms on his hand, and then looked at the jade pendant engraved with osmanthus in the hand of An Mei who immediately handed it over to her nurse, and knew at a glance that it was the handwriting of the second master of An Lin, An Cheng was born at the end of February, and An Mei was born at the beginning of August.

Judging from the gift alone, the second master An Lin is a little romantic, but the Shen family doesn't pay much attention to this.

"This is what the master asked someone to do, one of your sisters, Sister Shu'er's pomegranate flower is here for me, waiting for it to be given to her in Beijing."

Shen smiled and watched An Cheng play with the jade pendant, and said, "Don't fall carefully, this is the first time your sisters have the same jewelry." ”

"Yes." An Cheng nodded, and then handed the jade pendant to the nurse behind him.

The Shen family has always loved An Cheng, but An Cheng was afraid of society and homely in his previous life, and he had little communication with others, and sometimes he knew that Shen's occasional eager eyes were hoping that she would say a few more words, but An Cheng always didn't know what to say.

"I love it." After thinking about it, An Cheng added dryly.

Shen knew her temperament and smiled helplessly.

It was An Mei's nurse who tugged An Mei's sleeve and reminded An Mei to speak.

"Mother, when will we see the sixth sister?" An Mei didn't quite understand what he was saying, but he could hear it clearly.

"Sister Mei, look at the trees outside, when the leaves are gone, we will be at home." Shen is also very patient with this child.

"My daughter knows." An Mei didn't really understand it, her big black and white eyes looked at the green trees outside, but she also knew that she couldn't ask endlessly.

A little three-year-old child has already begun to learn where to be, to whom, and what to do.

An Mei is still young, so she can be coaxed to forget it, but the nurse's behavior just now made Shen pay attention.

"If I'm not mistaken, Wang Nuniang and Zheng Nuniang are both natives of Shuzhong, right?" Shen asked An Cheng and An Mei's nurses.

An Chun's nurse was dismissed when she was five years old, and some families would let the nurse always follow the master, but the Shen family didn't like this, for fear that the slave would bully the master.

But An Cheng Anmei is still young, and he could have waited another year or two.

It's just that both of them were born in Shudi, and the nurse also chose to be honest and healthy nearby, and now the An family moved to Beijing, these two nurses did not sell themselves, and they have a family and children here, so it is not good to separate the flesh and blood.

Seeing the two nurses kneeling on the ground, Shen smiled and politely asked them to get up and said: "Bring the two sisters from childhood to the present, you have worked hard, now we have to go back to Beijing, we can't ask you to leave your hometown with you, wait for these two days, and explain all the work that should be explained, and you will each go to the account room to receive a hundred taels of silver." ”

"Yes, thank you for your mercy." An Cheng's nurse responded very happily.

"Mrs......" An Mei's nurse hesitated.

An Mei people can understand the words at the age of three, and they jumped off the chair when they landed, almost fell, and went straight into the nurse's arms, "I don't want the nurse to go!" With a word, tears snapped and fell.

Zheng Nanniang also hugged An Mei's soft and small body, embarrassed and reluctant, tears were also rolling in her eyes, but she didn't dare to fall in front of Shen, "Mrs. ......"

Aunt Zhou, who was originally standing under the porch and waiting to ask for peace, couldn't stand when she heard the movement inside, and after walking in and saluting Shen first, she wanted to hug An Mei up, "Sister Mei, let's not make trouble with my wife, let's ...... with my aunt."

"Don't, nurse, nurse......" An Mei cried heartbreakingly, and pushed Aunt Zhou with one hand, for fear that she would take her away.

An Cheng had to say that she was stunned, she had been here for four years, and the Shen family had big rules, and it was the first time she had seen this sprinkling and rolling posture, not to mention that she was still well-behaved and sensible just now, and more often than not, she had almost no sense of existence.

The ancients were all precocious, such as An Chun, who was six years old, greeted with courtesy, spoke and behaved, and was very measured, which was the result of Shen's view that he was weak and did not have a strict education.

On weekdays, she doesn't know what An Mei is like in her yard in private, but she often meets, let alone seeing Shen, even if she sees her, she is also docile and obedient, and today's show is really stimulated.

Aunt Zhou watched her daughter cry and tremble and didn't forget to hug the nurse, she didn't want to be herself vaguely in her mouth, she didn't know whether she was ashamed or angry, she only felt that a room full of masters and maids of all sizes were glued to her body, and she couldn't help but exert two more points of strength in her hands.

"Why are you so disobedient, don't ...... at Mrs."

Sister Mei cried even harder.

An Cheng looked at the tenth sister who was crying with a red face and a dumb voice, Aunt Zhou who was getting heavier and heavier, and the nurse who was holding the tenth sister and didn't let go, and wanted to open her mouth to stop it, but she subconsciously glanced at Shen first.

Shen looked at the three people crying like no one was crying below, put down the teacup with a cold face, and glanced at the lotus leaf.

The lotus leaf, who understood it, opened her mouth for the Shen family, "What are you crying about, the main courtyard is also a place for you to cry and make trouble?" Is there any rule in the eyes, is there a wife? ”

It has always been the lotus leaves who go to the courtyards to pass the word to the aunts, and Aunt Zhou also has two taboos about the lotus leaves, and then saw Shen's expressionless face, knowing that she had done it, she hurriedly stopped her tears, and knelt down, "Mrs. is angry." ”

The nurse also knelt down, leaving only An Mei still crying breathlessly, which was even more obvious in the quiet room.

The nurse anxiously wanted to cover An Mei's mouth, but she didn't dare to really do it, she just looked at Shen pleadingly, "Madam, don't blame the tenth girl for being young and ignorant......

Lotus Ye didn't wait for her to finish, and stopped her, "Mrs. hasn't opened your mouth yet, what are you interjecting?" The tenth girl is also the daughter of the wife, she cried and the wife only felt distressed, where would she blame, that is, blame, that is also to blame you for not taking good care of the girl. ”

"Hezhi, you take the ten girls down first." Shen didn't open his mouth until now. "Brother Chun, Sister Cheng, you all go back."

"Yes." An Cheng and An Chun responded in unison, and then slowly withdrew, and no one saw whether An Mei, who was sticking to the nurse like twisted sugar, could be taken away.

Aunt Li had been waiting for Brother Chun under the corridor, and when she saw An Cheng, she hurriedly greeted with a smile, "Sister Cheng also came out?" Now that the autumn tiger is hot, the girl should take a good umbrella when she comes and goes. ”

"Thank you, auntie, for your concern." Every time Aunt Li saw An Cheng, as long as she had the opportunity, she would always say one or two words like this, and An Cheng would say the same thing every time.

"My sister went back and asked someone to cook a bowl of sweet wheat and red date soup to drink." An Chun turned around and said a word as well.

This made An Cheng a little surprised, on weekdays, An Chun rarely said a word to herself, she always thought it was because she avoided suspicion, maybe as the only concubine in the An family's two rooms, her identity is sensitive, Aunt Li and An Chun are both very careful people.

"Thank you, starling, for your concern." An Cheng felt that he should say one more word to express his true appreciation, "Starling is too." ”

An Chun nodded, "Okay." "Compared to An Cheng, An Chun is actually the one who is really uncomfortable.

On the way back, Aunt Li looked at An Chun worriedly, touched his palm, and felt very distressed, "Your palms are cold, and your lips are white, do you want to find a doctor to come and take a look?" ”

"It's fine." An Chun smiled and comforted her aunt, "It's just that it's noisy inside, and I don't feel very comfortable, don't you still have pearl powder in our house when you go back?" I'll just eat some, or my aunt will cook me a bowl of sweet wheat and jujube soup to suppress the shock. ”

"Okay." Aunt Li is such a lifeline, and she has no idea, everything An Chun says will do.

In the main courtyard, An Mei was still smoking and matching, holding the nurse and not letting go, "I don't want to go with you......"

Hezhi looked at Shen's face, and he was also a little anxious that the ten girls were willful today, but the quality of the master could not be said by her, so she could only try her best to coax, "Ten girls are good, the slave maid has a nest of silk candy here, and there are nine links, turn over the flower rope, go to the next room, the slave and the maid will play with you, don't the ten girls like it the most......"

The nurse was also half coaxed and half persuaded, and finally let Sister Mei relax, and was taken away by the lotus branch, and before leaving, she couldn't help but look back at the nurse.

Aunt Zhou was so sad that she almost cried, but it was only because of the Shen family that she covered the handkerchief and wiped it fiercely.

The room was quiet, and Shen Shi opened his mouth and looked at the nurse first, "I had good intentions, but I didn't want you to separate your flesh and blood, abandon your husband and children, why did you become a wicked person?" ”

When the nurse heard this question, her eyes turned red, and she kowtowed heavily, "Mrs. doesn't know, my son, I didn't stay in the cold before, and he has been dead for half a year...... I work in the house every day, and my man can't stand the loneliness, and he has ...... The rest of the words are too pickled and not easy to say to my wife. ”

"The slave maid is really homeless and has no way to go except for the house now, and she really treats the ten girls as her own flesh and blood! Please, madam, don't drive the slaves away...... If the slave maid leaves the house, it is really a dead end! The nurse cried sincerely, and there was a red mark on her forehead.

Aunt Zhou looked at the nurse, almost hating itchy, she was the concubine of the second master, an authentic hot girl, but the wife looked at it strictly, and she didn't dare to make a mistake, and now there was fire in her chest one after another, and she just wanted to pull the nurse and shake a few ear scrapers to see if she dared to rob her daughter.

Shen looked at Aunt Zhou's motherly eyes and turned red, and he knew that he didn't dare to open his mouth because he was afraid, so he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "Aunt Zhou, stand up and speak, the nurse is a slave, you are still half a master, where is the need to kneel with her?" ”

Then she didn't look at Aunt Zhou, who was obviously happy, but opened her mouth more kindly to the nurse, and her tone was full of real pity, "When did the child leave?" I didn't know. ”

The nurse mentioned her child, wiped her tears with a handkerchief before speaking again, "It's really a bad day, I bumped into the birthday of Miss Nine in our house, where do you dare to say that you are adding bad luck to your wife?" ”
