Listening to A Luo's question, Gu Yutang took down the letter that was placed on the pen holder to dry, carefully sealed it in the envelope that Gu Yutang had prepared in advance, sealed it with fire paint, and handed the letter to A Luo.

"Ah Hua and Da Han have always been frizzy, not more careful than you. Ah Luo, you must personally hand over this letter to the Jiang family's son, even the stone, he is not allowed to touch this letter. If the person serving in the Jiang family's house asks, you are the one who wrote this letter myself, and I have to hand it over to the Jiang family in person. ”

Although Ah Luo didn't know why Gu Yutang did this, he didn't dare to disobey her orders, and after taking the letter, he left the east chamber and went to the west chamber.

After A Luo left, Gu Yutang shouted on the winter solstice and asked the winter solstice to lead the way to the courtyard where the spring cicada lived.

The mother mentioned in the letter that she wanted the spring cicada to come back as soon as possible, and the year was approaching, and the big and small things in the house were backlogged on the mother, and the mother wanted the spring cicada to go back to help.

Now the maid who is serving the mother is the cousin of the spring cicada, although the young cicada is also very clever, but after all, she has not experienced much, everything has hit a wall, and the mother has to give her a point, if the spring cicada goes back, the spring cicada will carry the young cicada, and the mother can also take time out to make amends for the sin.

Chun Cicada lives in the small courtyard behind the east wing, and a few days ago, Feng Lao'an personally made the decision and told Cai's to tell the little maid to clean it up. The sun was warm, and the spring cicadas did not rest in the house, took a sewing basket out, and sat under the big locust tree in the courtyard doing needlework.

Gu Yutang still remembers that the needlework of the spring cicada is the best that her mother has ever praised, in the past, she and her brother's clothes were all the masters of the silk and satin village, and after tailoring the clothes, the style of the clothes was made, and the spring cicada drew the pattern, and finally embroidered it herself.

It's just that it's too time-consuming, and it was originally a year to make one of these clothes, then two years, and then three years. In the end, the mother needed Chun Chan to help with the chores in the house, and Chun Chan couldn't spare his hands to make clothes for their brother and sister, and they never made clothes for them after they were eight years old.

But those clothes, because they were made by spring cicadas, even if she and her brother were small and did not fit, her mother was reluctant to throw them away, and put them in a dowry cage for her.

said that on the day she got married, she would take her to her mother's house, and if she and her husband had children in the future, those clothes and children would be able to wear them, which would save a lot of money.

Whether it is in the previous life or in this life, there are too many places where her mother thinks about her.

At the beginning, her mother asked the Lin family to take her to Pengpu, not because she said that she would bring herself to meet the second room Feng's grandmother who had never met, but because she didn't want her to know about the bad things between her father and the Chen family, and she didn't want to affect her future marriage because of those things.

Mother called Ah Hua to serve her, in fact, it was also for her sake, Ah Hua is a smart person, and her mother believes that with Ah Hua's protection, she will not be bullied by others.

Gu Yutang thought like this, and glanced in the direction of the small Buddha hall in the back garden. If God has eyes, if the Bodhisattva Buddha really wants her to go through this experience again, except for her own marriage, she only hopes to be able to repay her mother, and her father and mother can accompany her to live this life in harmony and beauty.

Birds in the sky swept by, making a crisp call. The spring cicada doing needlework heard the bird's call, hurriedly stopped the work in his hand, looked around, and didn't see the bird, but saw Gu Yutang standing not far away, looking at himself intently.

Seeing that Gu Yutang had a little tears in his eyes, Chun Cicada hurriedly threw down the embroidery shed in his hand and walked quickly to Gu Yutang's side.

Before she could react, Chun Chan took out the handkerchief she was carrying at some point, and gently wiped the tears that had flowed to the corners of Gu Yutang's mouth. "Why is the girl here? Nor will he command me, so that I can make a good pot of tea, and wait for the girl to come. ”

Gu Yutang was about to speak, only to hear the spring cicada say again: "Why is the girl so dignified and crying again?" Is it blinded by the sand, the slave and maid help the girl blow? ”

After that, Chun Chan put down the handkerchief in his hand and was about to blow Gu Yutang's eyes, but she stopped him.

"Spring Cicada, I'm fine. I just remembered my mother, these days away from home, I didn't accompany my mother to serve, it's really unfilial! Gu Yutang said, and handed the letter written to her by the Yang family from her cuff to the spring cicada in front of her.

After Chun Chan took the letter, he read it carefully, then folded the letter and gave it to Gu Yutang.

"Because it is approaching the end of the year, the second wife is now busy with the marriage between Brother Yucheng and the girl of the Hai family, and she really can't spare it to help her wife, and the young cicada is a little girl who has nothing to do. My wife wanted me to go home early and help her with something. But if I leave, what will the girl do?

Although Ah Hua is a smart girl, she is a straight person, if I leave and the girl is bullied, what will I do?"

"Chun Cicada, you have been serving by your mother's side for many years, and now that your mother needs you, you can go back and help your mother! Now I have my grandmother to protect me, and the people in the house also respect me as the third girl of the Gu family, and no one dares to bully me. ”

Gu Yutang said, and took the money bag prepared in advance to the spring cicada.

"Chun Cicada, there are a hundred taels of silver in this money bag for you to eat and drink on the way back. If it is not enough, I will command them to go back and fetch it. Although there are eldest uncles and eldest aunts in the house, and the fifth uncle helps the mother, they always have to go back to Lu Liangyang's house to spend the New Year.

What if my father knew that my uncles had gone back and took advantage of this time to come to the door to make trouble, and my mother had no one to support, what would I do?"

Gu Yutang was worried about this matter in his heart, and he had to make it clear and clear with Chun Cicada.

This truth is also understood by the spring cicada itself. Now that my wife has no effective maid to serve, if she goes back, she can at least help a little. If the old man of the Yang family has returned to the Yang family for the New Year, and the eldest man comes to the door to make trouble, she can still protect his wife.

Chun Chan didn't expect that the three girls were already so sensible.

It has only been a few months since she left her wife, and after studying with the old lady for a few months, the girl has become so sensible. If Mrs. knew that the girl had thought about her for her, and knew that the third girl was already a sensible child, maybe she would be happier in her heart.

"What the girl said is that now that there is a shortage of people around my wife, I will go back as soon as possible and I can also help my wife do something. It's just that the girl gave this money, and the slave and maid really can't accept it!

The slave maid is the dowry maid brought by the wife from the Yang family, and the wife treats the slave and maid as kind as a mountain, and the slave and maid should share the worries for the wife, and the girl's money should be kept by herself! ”

Chun Cicada looked at Gu Yutang in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked like his wife. When my wife was young, she looked like a girl now.

It's just that the wife and the old man have been arguing and shouting for all these years, and the wife has become a lot haggard, which is not as good as before.

Now she only hopes that the girl can marry Ruyi Langjun in this life, and live happily for a lifetime, don't be like his wife, a piece of infatuation, and finally make a mistake, Zhou Langgu's situation!

Before going to the Lin family's hall, Gu Yutang called the mother-in-law who was waiting at the second gate, asked them to prepare the carriage to Chengjiang, and when the spring cicada packed up her luggage, she sent the spring cicada to Chengjiang.

Gu Yutang specially rewarded those mothers-in-law with two hanging money, and gave them enough rewards, so that they could help her do things with peace of mind.

Lin had woken up from a nap, sat on the soft couch in the house, and took care of the camellia sent by the flower room.

These camellias are a batch of varieties carefully taken care of by the florists entrusted by Feng Lao'an, named "White Peony", because these camellias are made of camellia rootstock, peony flowers are made of scion, and grafted.

At first, the gardener grafted ten pots, and the bloom was excellent. But within a few days, seven or eight pots died, because the watering was too frequent, and the rootstocks were not watered, and all of them drowned.

In the end, those who survived this winter were only two or three pots in the hands of Feng Lao'an, and these four pots in the hands of the Lin family. These two pots of camellias, Lin's baby is very good, usually even pruning, she personally took the pruning and cut out, carefully and carefully.

Seeing Gu Yutang enter the house with a sad face, Lin thought what was wrong with her, handed the pruning shears in his hand to Mama Liang, and asked a few words.

"Sister Tang, what's wrong with you? With a sad face, did someone upset you?"

Gu Yutang sat on the stool and chair that the little maid came, restrained the sadness and sadness in his heart, and came out with a smiling face.

"Grandmother, what's the matter? It's just that I haven't seen Zhiming these days, and I just miss him a little. It's okay, it's good to delay my granddaughter for a few days. ”

Listening to Gu Yutang's tone, Lin felt that she was not for the Jiang brother, but for something else. was just worried that he would be tricked out, so he specially pushed the Jiang family brother out to block the knife.

It's just that Sister Tang didn't say it, and she didn't want to ask further.

Lin picked up another pair of pruning shears placed on the top of the tall table, and asked the maid to bring another pot of camellia flowers that bloomed excellently.

The pot of camellia flowers was covered with flower bones, and Lin took the pruning shears in his hand and cut off almost half of the flower bones.

Seeing those flower bones fall to the ground one by one, Gu Yutang felt a little strange, and hurriedly asked, "Grandmother, what are you doing with cutting so many flower bones?" They can still bloom. ”

In the past, Gu Yutang was not interested in things like playing with flowers and plants, why did he think of asking her this today? Lin didn't think about it, so she replied.

"Silly girl, my kung fu is called topping. If you think about it carefully, raising camellia and raising chrysanthemums is a truth, this camellia is only a few feet, and it grows so many flower bones, if you don't top it in time, let these flower bones grow flowers, then this pot of camellia is afraid that it will not be. ”

Gu Yutang didn't understand these skills of tending to flowers and plants, so he asked again, "Why did grandmother say this?" If all these flowers and bones grow, won't they be full of flowers? It's a different scene, why not? ”

Lin Shi listened to Gu Yutang's words, only felt funny, patted her head, and said, "Silly girl." If these flower bones are not topped in time, none of these flowers will last long. If only a few bones are left, then once these flowers bloom, they will be left for a month or two, and as long as they are not touched, they will not wither. ”

Looking at Gu Yutang's half-understood appearance, Lin smiled and explained a few more words.

"Silly girl, when you have the kung fu, come and learn how to play with flowers and plants with grandmother. Grandmother didn't have much ability in this life, she just knew how to raise a few pots of flowers. ”

Listening to the Lin family's appearance of selling melons and boasting about herself. Mama Liang on the side couldn't help it, and hurriedly came out to make a few jokes.

"Old lady, you don't just raise a few pots of flowers. Originally, there were a few pots of eighteen bachelors in the flower room, but you raised them yourself, if it wasn't for the birthday celebration of King Liang's old wife, where would you let the second wife take those pots of flowers. ”

As soon as Mama Liang finished speaking, everyone in the room also laughed. Gu Yutang never knew that his grandmother was actually a flower grower.

After a while of jokes, Lin instructed the maid who was waiting in the pantry to bring the freshly brewed cloud tea, she still wanted to ask the purpose of Gu Yutang's coming over today.

casually mentioned, "Sister Tang, Mrs. Chen, who was waiting in the outer courtyard, just came to report, saying that you asked the mother-in-law who was waiting at the second gate to prepare a carriage, as if she was going to send someone out." ”

The Lin family knew this, and Gu Yutang didn't feel strange. After all, if he asked for a carriage from his mother-in-law on the second gate, the outer courtyard would be registered and reported. And he still went to ask for the carriage by himself, and those stewards were afraid that they would take on something, so they would report to the Lin family.
