At this moment, the sun is just right, a little light shines on the podocarpus, beating between the fine needles, the light brown pot body and the dark green needles are all cold tones, because of this sunshine, it looks simple and precious.

"Zhu'er, go and get that ancient book out." The old lady patted Zhu Zhu's hand.

Zhu Zhu was originally a little stunned, but suddenly startled, "Eh." She opened the curtain and went out.

"Mother, what kind of ancient book is it?" Huo Gang tilted his head and asked.

The old lady smiled, "You'll know if you bring it." ”

The cage she brought had been sent over a few days ago, and Zhu Zhu instructed her to send a personal maid to Huo Mansion to pack up first, "Jasmine, bring that lone book, be careful in your hands." ”

"Huh." Jasmine was wearing a bean-green dress in the uniform style of the servants of Huofu, and she carefully brought a carved wooden box, and when she saw Zhu Zhu open it to check, she said flatteringly, "The girl can rest assured, the slave knows the value of this book, and she carefully packs it in a box, and checks it once a day, and there will be no mistakes." ”

Zhu Zhu glanced at it, it was indeed fine, "The errand was done well, I will come back to reward you later." ”

"Thank you, girl." Jasmine saluted with joy. Don't you who are slaves and maids just ask to have face in front of your master?

Zhu Zhu held the wooden box in both hands and came all the way to the hall, and respectfully presented it to Huo Gang. "Uncle."

"This is, Mr. Yi's book?" Huo Gang took the wooden box, opened it, and held the book in his hand and turned it carefully.

The yellowed paper exuded a smell of age when it was turned in the air, Huo Shui'er was far away, and seeing the dust flying in the light, Huo Gang's eyes burst with inextinguishable light and brilliance, which was enough to see how happy he was.

It seems that the old lady sent the book right, Huo Shui'er quickly came to a conclusion, although he didn't know who he said about Mr. Yi, he must also be a great Confucian in this world, but he didn't think that Huo Gang was a bookworm.

"It was also a coincidence that I got this book." The old lady knew that Huo Gang admired Mr. Yi, so she ordered people to make great efforts to find it, buy it with a lot of money, and think of many ways to get this book.

The old lady lowered her eyelids, the estrangement between mother and son is not terrible, if it weren't for this back, she glanced at the slim Zhu Zhu beside her, and she didn't bother to look for this lonely book. He smiled lovingly, "I know your hobby, so I specially brought it from Yangzhou." ”

Huo Gang liked this ancient book very much, and his expression was a little moved at the moment, "I am tired of my mother's troubles, and I still remember my son's little hobby." ”

The old lady was also very moved by this at the moment, and waved her hand considerately, and suddenly the atmosphere was full of the feeling of mother's love and filial piety.

"Old lady, master, girl, cousin, Aunt Xie asks to see." A white and innocent girl knelt on the ground to report. Huo Shui'er always felt that this maid was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while.

"Aunt Xie?" The old lady asked rhetorically, it was really Huo Gang's aunts who were too many, so she didn't remember anyone.

Huo Shui'er was afraid that Huo Gang would be embarrassed, so she hurriedly answered the old lady's doubts, "Aunt Xie sent someone to ask me a few days ago, saying that she wanted to live closer to the old lady so that she could serve you." Presumably, this is also for this. ”

"Oh? What do you think? The old lady's eyes flashed.

Huo Shui'er smiled gently, "Naturally, it is still based on grandmother's preferences." If grandmother wants Aunt Xie to stay and serve her grandmother, the yard is ready-made, and Shui'er can immediately order someone to clean it up, and Aunt Xie can move over at any time. She also looked back at the old lady and said word by word, "If grandmother likes to be pure, I will refuse Aunt Xie." ”

Huo Gang hurriedly added, "Xie is ignorant, and he made his mother angry." How can she be allowed to disturb her mother. ”

The old lady turned her head and was very puzzled, "When did I get angry?" He waved his wide sleeves randomly, "Go and let Aunt Xie in." ”

Fu said in a tone of elders teaching younger generations, "Although I know that you are sympathetic to the old woman and I love to be quiet, but it is rare to have such a virtuous and virtuous person, you can't just see each other, this is not a waste of the child's filial piety." ”

Huo Gang was confused, but still nodded, "Yes." "His old lady has a strange temper, and her temperament changes very quickly, for decades as a mother and son, he doesn't believe that his mother will feel sorry for other people's hearts, if he really cares, Wanwan was not bad to her mother back then, and she was not the same as not being warm to her heart.

"The concubine has seen the old lady, the master, and the two girls."

Aunt Xie is a woman with a hard life, I heard that her mother's family is also in Yangzhou, her father is a scholar, and her family has to go to the capital and sell herself into Huofu.

She is now wearing a light cyan dress, the clothes are cut in a very simple style, and there is no cumbersome pearl on her head, only two plain silver hairpins. It looks very plain, but it is indescribably proper and harmonious, and the appearance is not very outstanding, and the facial features are not so amazing, but the surrounding temperament, which is comfortable and clean.

Wu Nong's unique accent of soft language made Zhu Zhu feel familiar, and she didn't call her cousin, which made Zhu Zhu feel a little more than one or two impressions of Aunt Xie. At that moment, he asked, "Where is my aunt?" ”

"I was also from Yangzhou." Aunt Xie said softly, and her voice was as good as a bead falling on a jade plate.

Zhu Zhu was slightly surprised, "I didn't expect that my aunt was also from Yangzhou." ”

Aunt Xie only nodded and did not answer.

Huo Shui'er smiled and said, "My aunt is carrying a food box in her hand, is it food for my grandmother?" ”

Aunt Xie was a little cramped, and her voice was thin, "I heard that the old lady is coming, and the concubine thinks that the food here is different from that side after all, so she specially made some special food in Yangzhou City, so as to relieve the tiredness of the old lady." ”

"Bring it up and I'll take a look." The old lady really looks like a kind old lady at the moment.

As soon as the food box is opened, it is still steaming, and the braised silver carp head is salty and fresh, the soup is thick, and the fish meat is smooth and tender. Two steamed lion heads snuggle together, and they are cute when they look at them. There is also a large boiled dried shred, which is cut very finely, which is enough to see Aunt Xie's knife work.

This really sent to the old lady's heart. I also had some calculations in my heart, closed the lid of the food box, and said lightly, "Xie, you have a heart." ”

I know what she likes, but the maids and servants who have been serving for a long time around her, one is a coincidence, and three can't be a coincidence, Xie is prepared, I don't know which slave around him has such shallow eyelids, and he will be punished well. Stripped away the little killing intent in his eyes, and waited for Xie Shi to speak.

Aunt Xie looked at the old lady's pale face, and her heart chuckled. I obviously spent a lot of money to buy the news, how could I be wrong. She knelt on the ground, "As long as the old lady can relieve the tiredness of the old lady, the concubine is also worth it." ”

Huo Gang looked so cold again, he didn't even look at Aunt Xie on the ground, he thought it was a safe person, but it turned out that his heart was also big, and the old lady just came back, so he couldn't wait. There is no half-point safety.

Huo Shui'er looked at this scene, and only felt that Aunt Xie was smart, she should want to please the old lady, but she didn't want to be self-defeating. It not only bores Huo Gang, but also makes the old lady suspicious.

To Huo Shui'er's surprise, the old lady smiled, "What are you doing so nervously." She lifted the lid of the box again and sniffed the fragrant food, "I didn't say you did a bad job. It is rare to have this filial piety. ”

The peak turned around, and Aunt Xie was suddenly a little overjoyed, "It is a blessing for the concubine to be praised by the old lady." ”

The old lady smiled disapprerovingly, "I heard that you want to move over and serve me nearby?" ”

"Yes. It's just that the girl said......" Aunt Xie hesitated.

Is this blaming me? Huo Shui'er was innocently lying on the gun, but fortunately he had already explained in advance, otherwise this pot would have been extremely wronged.

Zhu Zhu was afraid that she would be so stupid that she would jump into the pit by herself, so she immediately interrupted, "If my aunt can move over and serve my grandmother with me, it would be fine, I will inevitably have omissions, and I am afraid that I will not serve my heart." ”

Aunt Xie glanced at Zhu Zhu with gratitude. The latter smiled meaningfully.

"Since Zhu Yatou thinks it's good, Shui'er, can you arrange it?" The old lady said that it was a discussion, but in fact, it was the final word.

"Grandmother has tormented her granddaughter." Huo Shui'er gently shook the fan, looked at Aunt Xie who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly, "Auntie can't live in the main courtyard, but I am wronged by my aunt, what does my aunt think of the side room of Zhuya Courtyard?" ”

"The girl's arrangement is naturally good. As long as you can serve the old lady, you can live anywhere. ”

"That's the best." Huo Shui'er didn't expect that this little Aunt Xie would actually have a lot of thoughts when she looked at her duty on weekdays.

Aunt Xie moved into the side house of Zhuya Courtyard the next day, and it was not a small wave among the group of aunts in the backyard, some people laughed at her stupidity, waiting to see her laugh, and some people were jealous that she could hug the old lady's thick thighs, and it was much better to be helpless in the backyard.

No matter what everyone thought, Aunt Xie settled there steadily.
