Compared with other mansions around the fire trees and silver flowers, hanging all kinds of lanterns, the British Mansion does not have many lanterns, and from a distance it looks like only sporadic lights, which is a bit shabby.

But unlike in the past, the slightly shabby lights could not hide the steaming atmosphere in the house.

There are small maids carrying a white gauze lamp in front of the way, followed by the maids holding all kinds of brocade boxes, occasionally a few hurriedly drop things, the mother-in-law and mother-in-law who follow behind are not angry, laughing and scolding two little hooves, the little girls pick up things and fly away.

And the most joyful place is the small kitchen of Shou An Tang.

"Old lady, are you tired? Do you want to drink saliva? The small kitchen was filled with white steam, and the cooks were all happy to stay in the corner of the house, while Mrs. Bai stood by the stove with an apron, and Mrs. Chen was holding Mrs. Bai's dragon head crutches on the side.

"Where is it so delicate, you can't do this little work," Mrs. Bai made pastries under her hands, and laughed loudly, "Rong'er, where are they?" ”

"Wei Yong sent the letter before, and the person had already picked it up, and now it should have reached the twentieth shop," Mrs. Chen said with a happy face.

"Oh, then my subordinates have to hurry," the old lady Bai mixed the osmanthus sauce into the starch candy, and then poured it into the mold, the old man sighed while busy, "It's been fifteen years, but I didn't expect that I would have to wait for the child to go out and come home one day." ”

The wrinkles on the face of the old man, who had always been calm and moody, seemed to be stretched, and Old Lady Bai stared at the osmanthus halva that was gradually forming under his hands, and said slowly, "I don't know if Rong'er is having fun playing outside today." ”

Hearing this, tears oozed from the corners of Mrs. Chen's eyes.

That's why the British Mansion is jubilant tonight.

Trapped underground for fifteen years, the owner of this mansion, the only great-grandson, returned from his first trip.

For other old ladies with children and grandchildren, a commonplace scene, Mrs. Bai and this mansion have been waiting for fifteen years.

"yes, it's finally here." She muttered, "The eldest young master must be happy when he goes out for the first time. ”

"I'll be happier in the future," Mrs. Bai patted the flour on her hand, turned to Mrs. Chen, and said, "Are the mandarin fish ready?" ”

"It's ready early," Mrs. Chen wiped her tears, but the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't hide it, "Because it's not in season, it was pre-pickled from their house from Duyun Tower, and the old slave personally selected it, all of which were bright red and had been steamed." ”

"I don't know what Rong'er and they ate at Dusk Cloud Tower at noon, if it was heavy, it would be a joke," said Mrs. Bai with a smile.

"The old woman sent someone to inquire, there is no stinky mandarin fish at the luncheon in Duyun Tower," Mrs. Chen said with a smile, "The boy who sent the fish said that Duyun Lou is lively today, if he is not in a hurry to send fish to our family, he will not be able to walk there." ”

"Oh?" Old Mrs. Bai raised her eyebrows, "I don't know which talent is in the limelight today?" ”

"The boy who delivered the fish said that everyone in the Dusk Cloud Tower was inquiring about the identity of that person, and it should be a son who is not very famous." Mrs. Chen said with a gesture.

"Yes," Old Lady Bai said in surprise, "This year's Twilight Cloud Club seems to have a dark horse, I don't know if it's a literary fight or a martial fight?" ”

"That's just a little strange," Mrs. Chen said, "I heard that kid say that it seems that there have been twists and turns in Wendou and Wudou, and today most of the people in Huizhou City have gone to Duyun Tower to watch the excitement." ”

"That's really rare, I knew that the old woman and I would go to join in the fun," said Mrs. Bai as she put the boiled halva on the slate to dissipate heat.

"Later, the eldest young master will also enter the academy, and it will not be too late for the old lady to go back to the party when he participates in the twilight cloud meeting," Mrs. Chen helped hand over the knife for cutting sugar, and said with a smile.

"Yes, this can also be arranged," Old Lady Bai looked a little stunned when she heard this.

Enter the academy, worship a famous teacher, give him a little bit of the family's property, and teach him to treat people and things until he supports the door like an ordinary son of a family.

She didn't dare to think about these before, she could only hold on, stay up, and hope that he could survive.

She didn't even think about letting her great-grandson have a posterity.

Because she knew that her age was no longer allowed to last until that time, and she could raise Rong'er's children.

Unexpectedly, I didn't dare to think about things before, but I dared to think about them, and I could plan them.

The kitchen is filled with the sweet smell of osmanthus halva.

"I don't know which academy that kid can enter," Old Lady Bai exhaled, shook his head, and said, "Although he has always been allowed to study underground, he can't compare with the sons of other families." ”

"You can't say that," Mrs. Chen said, "The eldest young master is immortal and jade, if you can memorize such a difficult article, you will definitely be able to enter Ziyang Academy!" ”

"Back to Ziyang Academy, he will study for another two years, and I will thank God if there is a family in the Fourth Hui Academy who is willing to want him," Bai Lao Taijun sighed, "His grandfather and Lao Tzu are gone, and now he can only rely on himself." ”

As he was talking, suddenly there was a commotion outside the door.

"Old lady, the carriage has arrived at the gate!" And a servant woman came to give an offering.

"So fast," Mrs. Bai said happily, and Mrs. Chen helped undress her apron and handed her the dragon's head cane.

"Are all the people back?" Old Lady Bai asked while sorting out the clothes on her body.

"It's all back, the eldest young master, the ninth miss, and the seventh miss are all together, but ......" The expression of the servant woman who passed the message became strange.

"But what?" Old Lady Bai frowned, "Is something wrong?" ”

"No...... No, Miss Nine was a little injured. The servant woman said hesitantly.

"What about the eldest young master?" Mrs. Chen asked on the side.

"The eldest young master is fine." The servant woman replied.

Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but then Mrs. Bai frowned and asked, "She has a daughter's house, how can she still be injured when she goes to see a meeting?" Is it serious? ”

"I don't know about this slave, but Miss Nine seems to be in good spirits, so it shouldn't be serious......," the servant woman muttered.

"Miss Nine, my face has not been very good before, maybe it's because of my weak body," Mrs. Chen said on the side, and then she hesitated for a moment and walked to Old Taijun Bai and whispered, "Since the cure of the eldest young master." ”

Old Taijun Bai was stunned, her expression was a little complicated, and after being silent for a while, she said, "Old Chen's family, open the treasury and stew the mountain ginseng sent by Princess Jiang Chu the year before last." ”

Mrs. Chen was shocked when she heard this, and then said, "Old lady, Miss Nine is still young, and she can't afford to be heavy in that branch of ginseng, so let's change it to bird's nest." ”

"Okay, you can arrange it." Old Lady Bai moved her crutches and was about to walk out of the kitchen, but found that the servant woman was still standing in place without saying a word.

"What else?" She asked.

"Old lady, it's not just the eldest young master who came back with the car, but there are two more people...... the servant woman said with a strange expression, "Brother Wei sent someone to spread the word that it was two nobles, and asked the kitchen to prepare more meals for the two sons." ”
