It is Aunt Ruichun. Wanying's heart tightened: "It's not good, the brainless words with my brother just now are probably all listened to by Aunt Ruichun." This Ruichun aunt is also my wife's confidant, today I eavesdropped on my theory with my brother, presumably also every day to guard against my brother being close to us, so he squatted behind the flower tree to eavesdrop, if not, he came over generously, or shouted from afar, and they were not embarrassed by each other. ”

Thinking of this, my body and mind felt like falling into an abyss, and I only felt that I couldn't grasp anything around me, and let myself fall. "I was angry with my brother, this was my own small belly, but Aunt Ruichun didn't think so, she must have thought that her mother was secretly instigating. Bad things, bad things. Isn't this a disaster for my mother and brother? ”

Wanying really didn't know how to greet Aunt Ruichun. Aunt Ruichun's side, originally squatting behind the flower tree, saw Miss Wanying see herself, she simply got up, patted the floating soil on the skirt, lifted the flower basket, and took a few steps to Wanying and said: "The socks made by the previous child were too tight, let go of some, and they were too loose, and they stepped to the top of their feet before they took a few steps." The older you get, the less useful it is, and the needlework is not as good as a year. ”

Walking up to Wan Ying, she carefully pulled out a crimson rose from the basket, took out scissors, cut off the long flower stems underneath, and threw it outside the pavilion, landing on a row of low green rhododendron trees.

Pinching the flower branches, with a face of spring breeze, he said kindly: "It is said that this rose blooms the most in summer, I think it is the best now, and it is more graceful after a little wind and frost, just I passed, the corner of the west wall, full of red roses, very good-looking." Good flowers adorn the temples, and people are more pretty than flowers. It was exactly what I thought. It's really a look that captivates the country and the city. Aunt Ruichun said as usual, and inserted a red rose with five flowers on the bun of Wanying.

Wanying didn't see the slightest flaw, and wondered in her heart: "Could it be that Aunt Ruichun is really tying shoes and socks behind the hydrangea tree?" It's just that this hydrangea tree is not more than a foot away from the pavilion, when did Aunt Ruichun come over? If so, how much? ”

Wanying thought stupidly, stunned and silent.

Aunt Ruichun looked at Miss Wanying's appearance, and her heart was also mixed: she and her man Ruichun married with his wife more than 30 years ago, and he gave birth to a girl when he was in his wife's mother's house. If Ruichun hadn't died, the current housekeeper key would not have been in charge of the two brothers, Lian Jin and Lian Sheng. Pity yourself for the two of you, there is only one girl in total.

More than ten years ago, the master assigned the daughter of Aunt Ruichun to a Lanling guard in the army, a serious 800 martial arts Beijing official, and a six-grade soldier. The son-in-law has a good character, and the little couple is sweet and happy. is also jealous of talent, newly married for half a year, his son-in-law contracted a vicious disease, sought medical advice for several months, and died. The son-in-law's family disliked his daughter-in-law Kefu, swept her out of the house, and wanted to invade the family property. It was the pressure exerted by the master that brought it to an end. Although the daughter's private land is rich, she has no children and no daughters under her knees, and she is alone and boring. Aunt Ruichun wants her daughter to come back for a reunion, but it is just a huge piece of furniture, unguarded, which is equivalent to giving it to others; If it is sold, the family will not agree. can only consume it year after year, waiting for his daughter's oil to run out, and the family will share this family business.

Aunt Ruichun was in a trance, only to see Hongfu running into the pavilion in a hurry, panting heavily, and taking Aunt Ruichun's words and saying, "Auntie, you won't miss your daughter, right?" Look at your old age, look at Miss Wanying's fascination. ”

Both of them came back to their senses, and Aunt Ruichun half-stopped the panting Hongfu in her arms, and said with a smile: "Girl, you have to go to the aunt's room to sit down, the aunt loves you." ”

Hongfu also wrapped her arms around Aunt Ruichun's waist, and the two of them hugged her like sacks and said, "My dear aunt, Hongfu pointed to you and felt sorry for me." ”

Aunt Ruichun was intimate with Hongfu for a while, and then said that Mrs. still had instructions, and left the Reading Green Pavilion. Seeing Aunt Ruichun walking away, Wanying whispered: "What I said to my brother just now, Aunt Ruichun heard everything." ”

It was already a little drowsy, Hongfu began to pack up the tea set, and said with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, I can't listen to it at all." ”

Wanying's eyes flashed, and she said, "Dead girl, I'll tell you about your troubles!" ”

Hongfu poked her head and whispered, "I'm not joking with Miss either." ”

Wanying looked puzzled and said, "How do you know that you didn't hear it?" ”

"Good Miss, I saw Aunt Ruichun walking towards the pavilion from a distance, and hurriedly left the little bird, for fear that what Miss and the eldest young master said would not enter the ears of Aunt Ruichun. I came to report around another gravel road, and halfway through, Aunt Ruichun bent down to tie her shoes, I didn't dare to be abrupt, pretending to pick up pine cones. Who knew that when she walked to the reading green pavilion, Aunt Ruichun squatted down and another one. Then I saw the eldest young master from a distance and left. Then Aunt Ruichun entered the pavilion, and I ran over in a hurry. ”

"If you say that, she shouldn't have heard anything."

Hongfu was also worried that the young lady's temper must have quarreled with the eldest young master, so she hurried over to report. Along the way, I looked at Aunt Ruichun and also looked at the pavilion. When Aunt Ruichun walked near the pavilion, the eldest young master just left. ”

Wanying was relieved and said, "In this way, I am relieved." ”

"The young lady doesn't cover up for herself, she only hangs for the eldest young master; Since the young lady is worried about the eldest young master, why bother to be angry with the eldest young master? Even we are working hard. ”

"Little Hoof, what do you know?"

"Miss is right, Hongfu doesn't understand anything, it's just a pity that the broken object is a pity."

"Deserving of a rotten goblin, Ming'er will find you a son-in-law who has no mouth, so that you can have a good time alone."

"Good miss, you only talk about me, and I don't know who will marry first, but Hongfu looks at Miss's son-in-law as having a long mouth? Still don't have a mouth? Hongfu finished putting away the tea set, picked up the bedding laid on the stone slab, and flicked the floating ash hanging on the bedding. Put it in the baggage.

"Rotten little goblin, you have to subdue me now, and I carefully uncover your skin."

Hongfu took her luggage and quickly dodged, two huge baskets hanging from the branches and leaves on both sides of the path, making a 'rustling' sound.

Wanying caught up with Hongfu and wanted to get a basket for her, but Hongfu pushed and said, "This kind of heavy work, Miss doesn't have to stretch out her hand." Moreover, it is not a unit for outsiders to see. ”

Wanying understands that there are many people in the family, and more things are better than less. The slender waist willow walked in front, and Hongfu followed behind with her luggage.

When I left the garden, I saw a few sparrows pecking at the ground from a distance. Wanying turned to Hongfu and said, "Let's take a detour, don't startle them." ”

The master and servant went around to a flower path behind Dongbao Building, and just walked out of the courtyard wall of Dongbao Building, the housekeeper Lian Sheng was about to enter Dongbao Building, and when he saw Wanying, he turned around and came to greet him.

"Miss, why are you standing in the tuyere?"

"I went to the garden for a cup of tea and was ready to go back."

"Mmmm, go back early, the evening breeze is dry and cool in autumn, don't catch the cold."

Wanying nodded, and with Hongfu in hand, the two walked to the west.
