The sun is sinking in the west, and the afterglow is becoming a cloud.

Sanniang faced the sunset sideways, and half of her face was soaked in the golden orange light, which made it difficult to see the expression on her face.

"Miss, why do you say that? Even if the garden here is not allowed to be planted, there is still a vacant lot behind our Hefeng Courtyard. If you like, the slave will turn it over tomorrow. Bai Guo is a little gearing up, and she has also done the work in the field when she was at home.

"You can do all this hard work." Bai Zhi looked at Bai Guodao helplessly.

Sanniang smiled: "I just heard that the eldest sister is going to say goodbye, and I thought that she would be busy next, and it was not too sad when we could get together." ”

"The eldest lady is going to say kiss?" Bai Guo's eyes were shining, and he said with some excitement: "Which one are you talking about?" ”

Bai Zhi glanced at Bai Guo with some disgust, blaming her for asking such unruly words in front of the young lady, but she was also curious after all, and saw that this place was very hidden, and there was no one else around, so she didn't say anything to stop Bai Guo.

Sanniang seemed to hesitate, bit her lip and whispered: "I also overheard what the people in my grandmother's room said, it seems that the second aunt chose a candidate for the eldest sister." ”

Bai Zhi glanced at Sanniang when she heard this, and stopped talking a little, and then looked at the white fruit beside her, but after all, she didn't say anything.

"Bai Zhi, what do you want to say?" Sanniang found Bai Zhi's eyes, and glanced at Bai Guo again: "If you have anything, you can say it, they are all trustworthy people." Although Bai Guo talks a lot on weekdays, he is also tight-mouthed and will not talk nonsense. ”

Bai Guo was very happy to hear this, and his cheeks were slightly red when he smiled.

Bai Zhi saw Sanniang say this, and it was not easy to prevaricate. She wanted to say that the old lady has always disliked the second lady, and the old lady may not agree to the candidate proposed by the second lady. But such words are not easy to say. I had to say vaguely: "The eldest lady's marriage should be decided by the old lady, and the old lady may not be satisfied with the choice of the second lady." ”

Sanniang thought about it when she heard this, and deliberately lowered her voice and said, "I heard that my grandmother was indeed dissatisfied with the family mentioned by the second aunt. But today, my grandmother was suddenly willing to do something again. ”

"Why is that?" Bai Guo asked with a wink.

Sanniang shook her head.

"Could it be related to the haunting of the house?" Bai Guo said cautiously, she had naturally heard some rumors in the house.

A few people were silent, and the two maids remembered what they had encountered that night, and they still felt a chill on the back of their necks.

"Alright. Don't think about that. Sanniang exhaled softly: "Anyway, grandmother has already invited a mage to come to the house to do the rituals. In the future, the family will definitely be at peace. I heard that my grandmother was in a relaxed mood because the bad things that had happened in the house in the past few days had disappeared, and I remembered the happy event mentioned by my second aunt, and I also felt good. It just so happens that my grandmother's birthday is coming, so I want to have a double happiness. ”

Bai Zhi and Bai Guo felt that there was some truth when they heard it, so they nodded.

Sanniang smiled: "Actually, this is a happy event, I should be happy for my eldest sister." The candidate chosen by the second uncle's mother will definitely not be bad. ”

said. Sanniang clasped her hands together and closed her eyes to Xitian: "Sanniang hopes that the family will be peaceful and grandmother can be happy every day." ”

Bai Zhi smiled: "Miss is really filial. ”

Sanniang blushed and smiled: "The house is peaceful, grandmother is in a happy mood, and we, the grandchildren who are happy in front of our grandmother, don't have to tremble all day for fear of upsetting our grandmother." A few days ago, my grandmother was unhappy, and even the sixth sister, who was the most favored by my grandmother on weekdays, was eaten. Grandmother was happy today, and said that in two years, she would send the eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fifth brother to her uncle and grandfather in the capital. Let their uncles and grandfathers supervise their schoolwork, so that they can learn a lot. "People are under the roof, the Sun family is comfortable, and their grandchildren have a good life.

"Sanniang hopes that there will be no more changes in the family, and I hope that my brothers and sisters can live well."

That's all she can say. Whether you can listen to it or not depends on what your grandmother thinks. Of course, hatred is not something that she can resolve with a sentence or two, but even if she wants to take revenge, she must take into account the situation of her relatives. If the fish dies and the net is broken, no one will be able to get better.

"It's not early, let's go back, it's too late to be nagged by grandma again." Sanniang said and went in the direction of Hefeng Courtyard. Angelica Angelica and Angelica Fruit also hurriedly followed.

***

In the year of Wuzi fire, July 12, it is advisable to travel, take office, meet friends, go to books, and see work; Do not break ground, open a position, marry, and collect.

In Sun's room, Sanniang and Yuan Niang, Siniang sat at the table of eight immortals and wrote "Baoyi", Sun leaned on the couch and held an ivory handle with a fan embroidered with a beauty picture.

"The third said he was home today?" Sun shook his fan and asked slowly.

"Yesterday, I received a report from the outer courtyard saying that the carriage had entered Shandong Province the day before yesterday, and it should be able to arrive today."

Sun handed the fan in his hand to Gansong, who took the fan and squatted in front of the couch to fan Sun.

Sun raised his body slightly and stretched out his hand to Mama Chang, Mama Chang immediately handed the yellow calendar in her hand to Sun, Sun sat up straight and looked at it.

"The winged fire snake is fierce, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to return home." Sun frowned.

"Old lady, you see, today's six stars are the first to win. The first is the victory, the morning is auspicious, and now the hour is still early, according to the car, the three masters should be able to rush back before noon. Mama Chang pointed to a corner of the yellow calendar to comfort Sun.

Sun nodded: "If it arrives after noon, let the third child go to the boss's courtyard to settle down for one night, and then return home tomorrow, so as not to make a mistake and everything will be unfavorable." ”

Sanniang's hand holding the pen paused, are the three masters and the Liu family about to arrive today? Sun is so cautious now, it seems that this incident has had a great impact on her, and she has not asked her about everything before seeing her.

In the morning, Mama Chang sent people to the gate every once in a while to have a look, but seeing that it was almost noon, the convoy of the third old man Wang Dong still did not enter the city. Sun was a little disappointed, and was about to send Sanniang and the others back to the hospital, when a mother-in-law happily ran in and reported that the third master and his party were almost at the intersection of Changle Street.

Sun took out a pocket watch with enamel and pearl sesame chains, opened the lid and looked at it, frowning.

"It's past noon?" Mama Chang asked worriedly.

Sun shook his head: "It's noon." As he spoke, he handed the pocket watch in his hand to Mama Chang to see.

"Then do you want to let the third master go home? People are almost at their doorstep. "Mama Chang is embarrassed.

Sun sighed: "That's it." After all, it was not past noon, and the time when they entered the city should still be morning, let them in. so as not to provoke the gossip of outsiders. By the way, has the yard been cleaned up? Shen was not in bed and sneaked into the room. Don't wait until today to make your bed. ”

"It's all arranged, a few days ago, Aunt Cui from Fangzhi Courtyard took someone to take care of the yard. Just waiting for the third master and the third lady to enter the mansion. Mama Chang said busily.

Sun frowned: "What can she do if she can't even take care of her own girl?" You go to Fangzhi Courtyard to see if there is anything missing, go now. ”

Mama Chang immediately responded.

Sanniang and the others were originally going to leave, but now that they saw that the third master was about to enter the house, it was not easy to leave, so they still sat at the table of the eight immortals. Wait for Sun's orders.

"You go to the kitchen and give an order, postpone the meal for half an hour today. Take a look at some fresh dishes, and let the kitchen pick the good ones and make them immediately. Sun turned his head and instructed Licorice.

Licorice smiled: "Eh, a few fat-bellied treasure fish and rhubarb flowers were sent outside early this morning. At this time, the treasure fish and yellow croaker were fat, and the third master was afraid that he had not eaten fresh sea fish for a long time in office, so the slave maid ordered the kitchen to clean up a few fish. ”

Sun nodded: "Go and see what other fresh seafood there is, I remember that the third child liked to eat these before." ”

Licorice was about to be ordered to go out, but after thinking about it, he turned around and asked, "But at noon, you want to put the meal in the front hall?" The slave and maid sent someone to clean it up. ”

Sun thought for a moment and said, "Go clean up." Fangzhi Courtyard has always been only an aunt with a girl to live, and when the old Sanfu came back, it was strangely deserted, and he set up a meal in the front hall today. You find someone to go to the Autumn Courtyard and call the people from the big house as well. After a pause, he said: "Xicui Courtyard and Qinxin Courtyard also sent people to say goodbye, and those who are willing to come will come." ”

Licorice was ordered.

"You can stay too, just in time to meet your third uncle and father." Sun Shi said to Sanniang and the others.

"Yes. Grandmother. The three of them responded in unison.

Yuan Niang smiled softly at Sanniang, as if she was happy for her, Sanniang replied to Yuan Niang with a sweet smile, but her heart was very indifferent. The return of the third master and the Liu family only made her see trouble. If yes. She really didn't want them back.

"Move this table aside first, and then fetch a few basins of water to come in, and serve the ladies to clean their hands." Sun instructed the little girl standing outside the curtain.

Immediately, Agarwood invited three other little girls into the house, quickly cleaned up the pen and ink on the table of the Eight Immortals, and moved the Table of the Eight Immortals to the corner of the wall to lean on.

Sanniang and the three of them got up early, and when a few more girls came in, the copper pot was the copper basin, the copper kettle was the copper kettle, and the soaphorn scarf was the soaphorn scarf. A word lined up in front of the three young ladies.

A little girl with a total horn walked up to Sanniang and helped Sanniang remove a pair of plain silver bracelets from her hands.

Sanniang saw that she was not as high as the copper basin that was held in front of her by another slightly taller girl, so she could only gently tiptoe up and poke her head to wash her hands for Sanniang, so she smiled at her and wanted her to retreat.

"Bang dang." The copper basin knocked over to the ground, making a loud noise, the water was splashed high, and Sanniang and Siniang's shoes and socks on the side were splashed wet.

Sun was frightened by this voice, and glared at him with a pair of sharp eyes.

The little girl and the girl holding the copper basin turned pale with fright, and knelt down heavily without daring to say a word, and Sanniang could hear the crisp sound of bones hitting the floor.

Sun pointed at the two girls and was about to have a seizure, but Sanniang smiled in surprise: "Grandmother, the goodness is like water." Now the sewage flows towards the door, dispelling evil and removing filth, which is a good omen. ”

Sun was stunned for a moment, and saw that the water splashed on the ground was indeed slightly lower than the terrain at the door, and went towards the door, so he eased his face and put down his hand, frowning and said to the two girls: "It's not time to clean up!" ”

The two girls didn't expect such good luck today, and they kowtowed to Sun a few times in surprise, and cleaned up the mess on the ground. ()
