The old lady snorted coldly, and said in an unkind tone for a long time: "What's the matter?" ”

"I've asked for a doctor, and the eldest lady also sent bird's nest lilies over yesterday." The old lady was originally a little apprehensive, but when she looked at the old lady with sharp eyes, her heart suddenly brightened.

"I see, my cousin is also suffering ...... this time"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of communication, and it turned out to be the eldest lady Zhao who had just mentioned.

"Mother's health is better?" Zhao smiled and tucked the corner of the quilt for the old lady.

The old lady coughed dryly and said, "When people are old, it's always like this." It's that you've been tired lately. She glanced at Zhao and saw that she was dignified and shrewd, and her heart was very safe.

The smile on Zhao's face couldn't help but be a little more real. After saluting, he sat down in front of the old lady's bed, took a small copper chopstick, opened the copper incense burner on the small table, and carefully removed the incense ashes.

With a half-hanging face, his expression was docile, "Mother, Ling Ling is afraid that he will not be able to return to the capital for the time being." I discussed with Crown that we should let Ling Ling read with the children at home, what do you think? ”

The old lady nodded, obviously indifferent.

"I heard that Yan Yan fell in the garden a few days ago, are you okay now?"

Zhao's expression became more and more gentle, and said: "She is like a monkey, jumping up and down, and her wrestling is solid, she has already been fine." He smiled slightly: "Just now I was clamoring to come to see my grandmother, and I thought that my mother couldn't stand her noisy and told her to come back later." "Mother really loves her Yan Yan.

Yan Yan has a lively temperament, and he knows how to look at people's eyes, and he is indeed likable. It's Lingling, who is weak but doesn't bow his head, no wonder his mother is unhappy. Zhao thought about it, but he just put his own Yan Yan next to the old lady to take care of it.

The old lady thought of her little granddaughter's cute appearance, and her expression softened, "I'm used to her monkey by my side." ”

"My daughter-in-law is thinking that I will call Yan Yan to serve you tomorrow." Let Yan Yan tease the old man, and maybe the illness will get better sooner.

The old lady nodded, and closed her eyes.

Zhao was interested, said something casually, and retired.

……

Mingshu touched the wall twice, so she wouldn't touch it a third time. No matter how sad my grandmother was, she still had her dignity.

However, Zhao personally called a group of cousins to get to know her, and let Mingshu Li live in the family to study with her cousins for a while.

The Li family style is quite upright, and all the sisters are gentle and polite.

Mingshu prepared a glazed hairpin with a silk begonia lamp in advance, the same style and different colors, and gave them to everyone as a meeting gift.

It is a recent trend in Kyoto to make hairpins made of light glass, and this gift is very novel and exquisite. Mingshu saw everyone's reactions, and her heart was also very happy.

Only the youngest fifth lady, Li Shuangyan, raised the corner of her eyes and glanced at Mingshu, opened the box containing the hairpin casually, and said with an innocent face: "Cousin Shu, did you kill your aunt?" ”

The happy scene suddenly collapsed, and Ming Shu was still cold, when he heard Zhao's angry shout, "Yan Yan! ”

The box in Li Shuangyan's hand fell to the ground with a "bang", as if she was horrified by her mother.

The most beautiful second lady immediately walked out and pulled Li Shuangyan to kneel behind her, "Mother, Yan Yan is young and doesn't understand anything. ”

Mingshu lowered her eyes and didn't look at the expressions of everyone present.

After a while, Ming Shu said, "Uncle, Yan Yan is not sensible. ”

Zhao's face was not good-looking, but he couldn't tell what emotion it was. She glanced at Mingshu soothingly, and said to Li Shuangyan, "Apologize to your cousin." ”

Mingshu's expression was calm, and she saw that the second lady was quietly pinching Lin Shuangyan through her sleeves. Lin Shuangyan was only five years old, and his eyes immediately turned red, and tears fell down like golden beans.

In the end, it is his own daughter, who is young and young, why apologize for crying like this? Zhao was really embarrassed.

"Mother, Yan Yan cried like this, because he knew it was wrong." The second lady, Lin Shuangjia, persuaded softly.

Zhao didn't know Lin Shuangjia's small actions, but Yan Yan was pampered, and it was absolutely impossible to apologize, and she didn't want to show her face to Yan Yan in front of the girls in the rest of the room.

She glanced at Mingshu in embarrassment.

"Uncle, Yan Yan is young, these words are nothing." Mingshu smiled at the corners of her lips, her eyes dark and bright.

Zhao sighed and said, "Don't cry, your cousin Shu hasn't bothered with you yet." She nodded Lin Shuangyan's forehead.

Lin Shuangjia took Lin Shuangyan to the side and gently persuaded him, and it was all right slowly, and the Zhao family left.

The ladies of the Lin family are in the school in the morning and afternoon, but in the afternoon, they learn one of the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and everyone can choose one according to their own interests.

In the morning, she was a guest, with a good bearing and good handwriting. The female master was full of praise, and the rest of the people also stayed away a little respectfully...... Who wants to play with their classmates who excel academically?

In the afternoon, Mingshu chose chess because he had never played it.

Then Mingshu was watched by the master with a toothache for an afternoon......

The people who were originally respectful of Mingshu couldn't help laughing, and began to point out Mingshu or tease Mingshu a little.

Mingshu's chess skills have not improved much, but he is obsessed with playing chess. When I saw someone, I couldn't help but pull it over to learn, and within a few days, it became a well-known stinky chess basket.

As a result, no one wanted to play chess with her.

……

Mingshu pressed herself for several days, but she still couldn't help it.

In the previous life, my parents died on the way to Huzhou, and so in this life. Accidents happen by water, and accidents happen by land.

It could never be a coincidence.

The uncle let him stay in the Li family for a long time, which means that the uncle is investigating this matter. Did the uncle in the previous life also investigate? But until her death, there was no news at all.

At the age of seven, he was still in his maternal grandfather's house, which was not close. Mingshu felt extremely powerless.

Li Jiabai has been busy these days, it is the Li family's business, and he is socializing with officials from all walks of life, and he has to send his own people to find out the news.

Fortunately, Zhao's explanation Shu is doing well at home.

There was no entertainment in the afternoon, and he took a nap in the study, but was woken up by the reported servant.

"Mingshu is here?" He was a little surprised.

Mingshu is shy and soft, and she doesn't come to the Li family much, although she is down-to-earth and generous, she looks a little alienated from these elders.

He hurriedly said, "Go and please come in." ”

Mingshu put down the bottom-up tea bowl in her hand, got up and walked in. Li Jiabo has lost a lot of weight compared with a few days ago, and he has a faint dark blue under his eyes, and he looks tired.

Her heart moved, a little sour, and she saluted and said, "Uncle has worked hard these days, I have a recipe for relieving fatigue and comforting my nerves at home, and I will write it to my uncle later." ”

Li Jiabo didn't ask Mingshu why he said that he had worked hard, but he breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "The recipes in your family are always very good." After a pause, "What is the reason why you came here today?" ”
