Sun asked Licorice to put away his shoes.

"Tell me to set the table." Sun's got up earlier today than usual, and the time for breakfast on weekdays is also a little later.

When Mama Chang saw Licorice go away, she asked Gansong to wait in the room, and she opened the curtain and went out of the main room to deliver food. Mama Chang sent a little girl to the kitchen, and turned around to see the little girl who had just been waiting by Sun's side, Agarwood, carrying an underglaze colored spittoon with a green bamboo and plum blossom pattern out of the main room.

The little girl grinned when she saw Mama Chang and walked over.

"Mama, thank you for the medicine you gave the maid, the maid tried it yesterday evening, and today I feel that the tinnitus is not so bad." Agarwood flashed with a pair of big eyes.

Mama Chang touched her head lovingly, and whispered, "Don't let others know about this problem." The old lady likes you to be clever and cute, and allows you to wait close to you, if you let others know, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in the main room. This medicine is what I asked for from Bai Ying in Hefeng Temple, saying that I have to use it once a day in the morning and evening, and it is very effective after a long time, and if you see her in the future, you will definitely thank her. ”

"The maid knows, Mama Xie mentions it." Agarwood crisp voice.

Mama Chang touched her head again and asked her to go down and do her own thing.

Agarwood walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around and walked back to Mama Chang and whispered: "Mama, when the maid came out to fetch water at first, I saw Mama Li going to Qiuheng Courtyard." ”

Mama Chang paused, thought for a moment, and then beckoned Agarwood to come over and ask a few times.

After listening to this, Agarwood nodded and turned around and went again, and after a while, the breakfast box in the kitchen was carried, and Mama Chang entered Sun's main room to help set the meal. Because Mama Li was not there, Mama Chang stayed to serve Sun's meal, and Sun let her stay.

"Where did Mama Li go?" Sun put down the spoon in his hand and asked casually. On weekdays, if Mama Li is fine, she will usually wait for Sun's meal on the side.

Mama Chang picked up the silver chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of emerald green melon slices into Sun's small plate, and replied: "I just heard the little girl in the kitchen say that Mama Li went to the kitchen to finish the meal and went to the sewing room, saying that she was looking for the embroidery girl in the needlework room to ask for a fashionable shoe to make a pair of shoes for the old lady." ”

Sun picked up the melon slices and ate them, and when he saw that it was very refreshing, he pointed again, and Mama Chang put another slice into the small plate.

Sun ate it slowly, and Mama Chang said: "This melon slice is really refreshing to eat in summer, but if you eat too much in the morning, I am afraid that it will hurt my stomach, so the old lady will use something else?" ”

Sun stopped his chopsticks and stopped: "Withdraw." ”

The little girls came up and removed the table, and Mama Chang waited for Sun's to rinse her mouth and clean her hands.

Sun took the cotton towel handed over by Mama Chang to wipe off the water stains on his hands, and said, "Last time, I heard her mention that she should make a pair of shoes, that is, the shoes made by you old people are easy to wear." These little girls are doing a good job of embroidery, but somehow these shoes are always uncomfortable when they are on their feet. ”

Mama Chang smiled: "This is a blessing for slaves and maids. Mama Li is busy, and the slave can do this every day, and the slave will make a few more pairs for the old lady in the future. ”

Sun handed his hand to Mama Chang to support: "You have a heart." Help me to walk around the yard and eat and drink, and they will come later to ask for peace. ”

Mama Chang carefully took Sun's hand and helped her out of the main room, not going far, just walking slowly in the yard.

Mama Chang and Sun were chatting while walking, and from a distance, they saw a little girl on the verandah carrying a basket of hibiscus flowers jumping over. The little girl was stunned for a moment when she saw Sun in the yard, and she restrained her steps.

When Sun saw the little girl, he beckoned to her, and the girl walked over with small steps.

"Old lady." The girl looked left and right, put the flower basket in her hand at her feet, and saluted Sun, but her slightly lowered face was a little timid.

Sun didn't pay attention, just looked at the flower basket and said, "This flower is blooming well, where did you pick it from?" ”

The girl raised her eyes and saw that Sun did not look like she wanted to blame, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and the person became alive.

"Back to the old lady, this is the maid picked it in the backyard. When the maid saw that the flowers were blooming well, she thought that the old lady would like them, so she picked them and wanted to arrange them in the old lady's house. ”

Sun was very satisfied when he saw that this girl was articulate and clever.

"Then leave it to licorice to arrange, and let Mama Li find a white porcelain flower bottle, and call it this color."

Agarwood said with joy on her face: "Yes, old lady, the maid saw Mama Li from a distance earlier, she came out of the kitchen and went to Qiuheng Courtyard, and when she came back, the maid will go." ”

Sun frowned when he heard this: "You said that Mama Li went to Qiuheng Courtyard?" "Qiuheng Courtyard is far away from the needlework room in the east and west.

Agarwood flashed her eyes and said, "Yes, the slave maid saw Mama Li go to Qiuheng Courtyard alone." ”

Sun was silent for a moment and then let the agarwood retreat.

"I think the people in the kitchen just heard the errand." Mama Chang smiled: "Mama Li is blessed to follow the old lady, she is the nurse of the old man, and it is inevitable that she will have some dealings with Qiuhengyuan." ”

Sun closed his eyes and said, "I almost forgot, she is still a nurse of Bai'er." Let's go back to the house, I'm tired too. ”

When Mama Chang heard this, she helped Sun back to the main room.

In the Qiuheng Courtyard, Mama Li was talking in Mama Lin's house, and Mama Lin and her daughter-in-law Fushun were accompanied.

Mama Lin invited Mama Li to sit on the seat, and Mama Li did not shirk and sat on the main seat.

"This is the filial piety of this month." Fushun's daughter-in-law smiled and handed Mama Li a purse.

Mama Li took it and shook it in her hand, but there was no smile on her face.

"Why is there less this month?"

Fushun's daughter-in-law's face stiffened, but she immediately smiled again: "Look at what Mama said, there were so many every month before, and there was no less." ”

Mama Li put the purse on the table beside her, slowly picked up the tea bowl and uncovered the lid of the bowl, skimmed the tea leaves, lowered her eyes and did not speak.

Fushun's daughter-in-law glanced at her mother-in-law on the side and motioned for her to help talk.

Seeing this, Mama Lin smiled and said: "Her children don't understand the rules, if there is something wrong, you should teach your own children a lesson, she doesn't dare to say anything." ”

"This tea is not good, you see that there are still so many tea stalks." Mama Li handed the tea bowl in her hand forward and put it on the table.

Mama Lin said with a smile: "Because this is this year's new tea, I brought it to Mama and wanted Mama to taste it, but I didn't want Mama to be served by the old lady's side after all, and the food used on weekdays is good, and her vision is naturally higher than ours." I also have a few taels of 'red bud crooked tail peaches' that my wife has rewarded, which makes people come. ”
