Chapter 17: Secrets of the Fu Mansion

"Xiaozhu, Xiaoguo, let's go. The smell is really heavy. I'm going to shower and change clothes when I go back. The boy took the lead and walked out of this side courtyard.

The two little girls glanced at each other and followed the young man.

Steward Fu sent it to the door, walked back to the eaves, and sat on the stool by the table. Some impatiently took out a handkerchief from his arms and covered his nose. Didn't speak again.

Two hours later, Liu's father and the three of them finally finished killing more than 40 pots of orchids in Fu Mansion for the first time with the people in the house.

"Steward Fu, the first insecticide of all the plants in the house has been completed. In the afternoon, the three of us will come back again and inspect each courtyard in the house in detail. At that time, the courtyard of those ladies and ladies will trouble the housekeeper to speak in advance. I'll let the little girl take a look. ”

"It's hard work. In the afternoon, I will arrange for a grandmother to follow Miss Liu Su. Let's eat first, I'll eat at Fu's Mansion at noon today. After eating, take advantage of the lunch break of the old lady, ladies and ladies, and you will check it out. ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Father Liu bowed and saluted.

After lunch. Father Liu went down under the leadership of Steward Fu to inspect the courtyard related to the old master and the young master. Zhao Yi was led by a small servant to inspect the housekeeper in the house, and the people waited for the courtyard. Liu Su was led by a grandmother to the courtyard of Mrs. Miss and Auntie.

On the way, the surnamed Cui Mama introduced a few yards to Liu Su, and should pay attention to them.

"In Madame's yard, you just don't walk around, don't touch the pot of lotus and osmanthus flowers in her yard. The pot of flowers is Madame's treasure. Mrs. Liansheng eldest young master, second lady is its blessing. ”

Mama Xie Cui reminded. Is there anything else I need to pay attention to? Liu Su asked.

"The second aunt's wife, the biological mother of the eldest lady, has a pot of acacia beans in her yard, which is now bearing fruit, and the second aunt loves it very much. Take care of it yourself every day.

Nothing else, the aunt's wife passed away due to dystocia, and a few old people in the hospital took care of her. The eldest lady and the second lady are now older, and they both live in the courtyard to the west. There is also a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, and I will ask the girl to help me take a look at it at that time. ”

"Mama Cui, thank you for informing." Liu Su bowed to Mama Cui.

"Miss Liu, it's very polite. You see, in front of it is Madame's courtyard. Madame is taking a lunch break, you should finish reading it as soon as possible. After speaking, Mama Cui went to knock on the door of the lady in the house.

The door of the courtyard was opened, and a mother-in-law saw that it was Mama Cui, and hurriedly gave a salute. "Hello Mama Cui, please come in." The mother-in-law ajar opened the door and invited Mama Cui and Liu Su in.

After Mama Cui entered, she went to the back room to greet a mama of the same age in the courtyard.

Liu Su, led by a little girl, began to inspect all the flowers and trees in the courtyard. Liu Su was very serious, she looked at each plant with her hand. Seeing that the leaves of the naan will be picked and placed in the cloth bag that he carries with him, if there is anything on the pole, Liu Su will use a small shovel to dig out the branches and roots.

Liu Su came to the pot of lotus osmanthus flowers that Mama Cui said. At first glance, isn't this the poisonous flower named Malijin in the previous life? Generally, few people plant it in their own homes, for fear of being eaten by children. In the past, it was common in the green belt in the middle of the highway.

Liu Su looked at its branches and leaves with his hand. "I'm poisonous, I can't give people to eat. But Madame always mixed my juice into the food and gave it to everyone in the house. I heard that the lower body is now swollen, which is not conducive to walking. ”

Although Liu Su was surprised in his heart, he did not react on the surface. Removed a leaf that had naan on it. Carefully inspect the pole again. In this process, Liu Su used his body to block the little girl's gaze and collected all the seeds that fell on the soil.

"Madame has been collecting your juice for a long time, and has you collected it anywhere else? I know that your flowers, roots, and fruits are poisonous. Liu Su communicated with him in his heart.

"More than 10 years ago, she dug up a piece of my root system, which hurt my vitality a lot, and now it's only so big."

"Thank you. In the future, you have to help me pay more attention, and I will plant you at home. There's some news for you to get out. I can receive it. ”

Liu Su inspected the last pot of plants in the courtyard and left. After that, I went to Miss West's residence and my aunt's wife. After processing, Liu Su came to the second aunt's wife. It's almost three minutes now. The second aunt has finished her lunch break. When Liu Su came, she sat in the lobby of the main house, drinking tea and eating snacks. About 25 years old, wearing a turquoise silk dress, a green silk hairpin with only a whole body of jasper. The figure is slender and uneven, and the face is sad. but added a pitiful attitude to her.

Liu Su came to the eaves under the leadership of Mama Cui to greet her. Explain the meaning. The second aunt's wife said that she was afraid that Liu Su would not be familiar with the environment, so she pointed to a mother-in-law and maid behind her.

Liu Su knew in her heart that this was to prevent her. didn't say much, followed by a mother-in-law and a maid, he quickly inspected all the plants in the yard with his hands and feet.

When I was about to inspect the pot of acacia beans placed on the windowsill in the hall, my hand had just touched it. A whole bunch of information came.

"Miss Liu, this pot of acacia beans is the love of the master and his aunt. It is absolutely inworm-free. So it didn't bother Miss Liu to look at it," and at the same time, the mother-in-law stopped the words behind her.

Liu Su was stunned for a moment, and then retracted his hand. Thinking of the information he had just received, Liu Su did not stop. Under the eaves of the main hall, he gave a salute to the second aunt's wife.

"Madam, I have inspected all the flowers and trees in your yard. Due to proper maintenance, there are not many insect infestations, and I have cleaned them up. If there are no other flowers and trees to look at, I will retire first. Liu Su said steadily.

"Let's go down. Jade tipping. The second aunt looked at her newly dyed nails and said without looking up.

"Thank you, ma'am." Liu Su took the small purse handed over by Cuiyu. He bowed again.

With the following Mama Cui left the yard of the second aunt's wife.

"Miss Liu, you did a good job. Now come with me, and we'll go to the last courtyard to have a look. ”

Under the leadership of Mama Cui, Liu Su felt that she was going further and further, and the more she was untouched. It's really remoter than the yard where the orchids are placed.

After crossing most of the mansion, Mama Cui took Liu Su to a small courtyard. This small courtyard seems to have not been opened for a long time. The entrance to the courtyard is very messy.

Mama Cui came and walked up the steps and knocked heavily on the door. After waiting for a while, no one answered. Mama Cui had no choice but to knock on the door again. It was half a ring again, and no one answered. "Uncle Zhou open the door, I'm Mama Cui." Seeing that the knock on the door didn't work, Mama Cui could only shout.

There was the sound of footsteps walking slowly behind the door, and after a while there was the sound of the door opening.

A 60-year-old man poked his head out of the crack in the door. "Mama Cui, is there something wrong?"

"The flowers and trees in the house are all infested, and the preliminary insecticide in your yard that was carried out yesterday is here to inspect those flowers and trees today. It won't be delayed for long, soon. Mama Cui explained.

"Is this little girl here to take a look?" Zhou Bo asked.

"Yes. She was alone. ”

"Then come in, the young master is reading in the courtyard, and his hands and feet are lighter." Uncle Zhou opened half of the door and let Mama Cui and Liu Su in. At the back, the door was closed again, and the deadbolt was inserted.

The courtyard looks very clean and tidy. Although it is not as exquisite and gorgeous as the other masters in the house, it has a sense of freshness and elegance.

Just like the one sitting in a wooden wheelchair, dressed in a half-worn black brocade robe, Ruyu's face was a little pale, and his black hair like silk was casually draped behind his head. A book in one hand and a cup of tea in the other.

Mo Shangren is like jade, and the phrase Gongzi is unparalleled in the world originally came to describe such an ancient son.
