"Coming back?" Mother Qin eagerly greeted her children who had just entered the house, "Are things done?" Ah Ju, go and bring the chilled mung bean soup to relieve the heat for Yan'er and You'er. ”

"Yes, the slave will bring it." Ju Niang said with a smile.

Qin Yanran smiled leisurely and accompanied his mother to the table to sit down, and then replied to his mother's question.

"The matter is almost done, I have already agreed with Mo Qi and the housekeeper of Sikong Mansion, and we will go out to buy food in three ways." Shang Moqi replied.

"Do you have a place to put the food you bought? I took a look today, but there are still two spare rooms in the warehouse behind the house, you can put some there, but I don't know if it's enough? Mother Qin said to them.

"Mother, don't worry about it. We have already found a place to put the grain, so we will put it in an external house of Brother Sikong's house; There are also slaves and guards, who can help guard the food when the time comes. Leisurely brought himself a cup of tea and said with a light smile.

"That's good, you just have to think about it; Don't have nowhere to put food when you buy it, so you have to be in a hurry. Qin's mother said reassuringly, and at the same time felt relieved that her children were so thoughtful.

"Mother~ We are not children anymore, you can rest assured!" Leisurely tugged at Qin's mother's wide sleeves, and said a little coquettishly.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's my mother who is too worried!" Mother Qin dotingly pulled her little hand that was tugging at her sleeve, put it in her palm and gently patted it.

Leisurely returned her with a sweet smile. At this time, Ju Niang walked back with mung bean soup, put out two bowls and put them in front of Youran and Qin Yanran, and said with a smile: "Young Master, Miss, try it, it's been chilled for a long time, and now it's cool to eat."

"Thank you Ju Niang~" thanked her with a leisurely smile, and then picked up the spoon and took a sip, and the cool and refreshing feeling instantly dispelled the heat on the body.

"Wow - it's so delicious, and there's osmanthus nectar in it!" Leisurely and happily, I scooped a few more spoonfuls and drank them.

Qin Xianran sat aside with a doting smile, watching her scoop up the soup spoonful by spoonful, and realized that every time she saw her sister eating so happily, it was also a blessing.

"By the way, mother, where did Daddy go? Why didn't you see him? After drinking it leisurely and quickly, she handed the bowl to Ju Niang and asked her to fill her another bowl.

"Your father went to Qingxi Village, he discussed it with me, and felt that he would tell your grandfather about the disaster, after all, he is the head of a village and has the obligation to protect the village." Mother Qin saw that the corners of her daughter's mouth were stained with soup, so she reached out and gently wiped her with a handkerchief, and answered her by the way.

"Oh." Leisurely nodded.

"When disaster victims come this year, it is not only the county town that suffers, but the village will be even more miserable. In any case, the larger county towns are controlled by magistrates, but what are the villages? It's not on your own. Qin Yanran sighed with emotion while drinking the soup.

Qin Mu nodded and said with a sigh: "This disaster victim can sometimes do anything in order to eat. Often, stealing and stealing are trivial matters, and I am afraid that they will smash, rob, burn, and do all kinds of evil. ”

"Huh? Then, no one cares? She looked at Qin Mu in amazement, she had never seen such a thing!

"How?" Qin Haoran responded to her: "There are many villages under the management of this county, and there is one person in charge of this, and there are not so many of them!" Besides, there will be refugees in the county town to make trouble, and it's another matter if you don't care about it! ”

"So, your father went to tell your grandfather about this matter in advance, so that they could find a way to deal with it as soon as possible." Mother Qin nodded gently, "By the way, take your third grandmother, eldest grandmother, second grandmother, several aunts and children to live, how can we say that our family has a nursing home, and it is safer to live." ”

"Well, it's still thoughtful." Nodding leisurely in agreement, he continued to drink mung bean soup.

Qin's mother smiled slightly, "I asked people to clean up all the houses in the second courtyard, it should be enough for them to live." ”

"If it's not enough, let the brothers of the Su family live in my yard, and I still have a free room." Qin Yanran suggested.

"Okay, I'll see when they come, I think that's enough." Mother Qin nodded in agreement.

In the afternoon, near evening, Qin's father finally rushed back home, accompanied by the daughters and children of the Su family.

Qin's mother took Qin Xianran, leisurely and the dragon and phoenix fetal daughter out to greet her, and saw Qin's father riding on a high-headed horse from a distance, and behind him were three big carriages.

"Husband, you're back." Mother Qin smiled and stepped forward, handing a silk handkerchief over to wipe the sweat of Father Qin, who had just dismounted.

"Well, I'm back, leaving you at home to worry about!" Father Qin pursed his lips and smiled, looking at his wife with love, "Go and pick up the third uncle and the eldest uncle and the second uncle!" ”

Qin Mu nodded, and walked towards the carriage that had just been parked with a smile.

"Third uncle, you get out of the car carefully, take your time, don't ......be in a hurry" Mother Qin stretched out her hand to support her, and respectfully helped the third uncle out of the carriage.

"Yun girl just loves to make a fuss, your uncle and I am still tough! Where's no one who can't even get to the next carriage? Although the third uncle said this, the smile on her face couldn't be stopped.

Also, what old man doesn't expect to be honored by his younger generations?

"Say hello to the third grandmother, the eldest grandmother, and the second grandmother; I've seen Aunt Sanwei. Qin Xianran walked over with his younger siblings and saluted the elders of the Su family.

"Alas, good boys, get up quickly! The old woman and I are just the crop woman, there are not so many hypocrisy, just be normal. The third uncle said with an amiable smile.

"Yes......," they replied in unison.

"Alright, don't gossip here, please come in and rest for a while! After a long journey, I am also tired. Father Qin said at this time, please let the Su family in.

"Yes, yes, the house is cleaned, let's get inside!" Qin's mother said with a smile, "Ju Niang, let the subordinates move the salute to the second courtyard." ”

"Yes, ma'am."

A group of people walked into the inner house lively, because the second courtyard was relatively close, they all went to the second courtyard, and did not go to the main courtyard.

There are many houses here in the second courtyard, three main houses, with ear rooms on the left and right; There were three wings on the left and right sides, along with a toilet and a house for the servants who cleaned the courtyard.

"Yo~ This small courtyard is good, clean and elegant." As soon as I entered the courtyard door, I saw a tall banyan tree on both sides of the main house, and the umbrella-shaped branches were full of pink and fragrant velvet flowers.

"Third uncle, if you like it, it's fine! I know that you don't like the heat the most, but there are these two big banyan trees in this courtyard, which shade some of the scorching sun, and the wind blows in the afternoon hall, which is very cool. Mother Qin smiled and explained why she chose this place for them to live.

"There are just eight rooms here, and my uncle and aunt, second aunt, and three sisters-in-law live here with two girls, Jingrou and Jingduo." Mother Qin helped the old lady into the house while assigning: "Jing and the four of them, follow Kai'er back in a while, there is a spare room in his courtyard; Besides, they boys also have topics to talk about together. ”

"Okay, it's hard for you to arrange it so thoughtfully, just do as you say." The third uncle happily patted the back of Qin's mother's hand and agreed with a smile.

"Then uncle, you settle down, rest for a while, and when the meal is served, I will come to pick you up." Mother Qin saw that the big guys were a little tired, and said intimately.

"It's okay, if you have something to do, just send a girl to call us during dinner, you don't have to come in person." The third uncle nodded and said by the way.

"I know, third uncle, you should rest first!" After saying that, Qin's mother took Qin's father and children out, leaving the Su family to sort out their own salutes.

On the way, Qin's mother instructed Ju Niang: "Ah Ju, wait a few times to pick a few capable and neat maids to come over, although they don't like to be served, but they still need to bring a cup of tea and pour water."

"Yes, the slave has written it down, madam, please rest assured." Ju Niang bowed her head and answered.

"Mother, I'll bring a few cousins to my courtyard to settle down, and we'll go over by ourselves at dinner." Qin Yuran said at the right time.

"Okay, there you go!" Qin Mu smiled and nodded, "Brother Tong, Brother Yan, Brother Yi and Brother Da, you go with Yan'er!" It's like being in my own house at my cousin's house, so I don't have to be so restrictive, you know? ”

"Yes, Aunt Cousin, we wrote it down." The brothers of the Su family responded with a laugh in unison.

After Qin Haoran left with a few brothers, Qin's mother took leisurely hands and explained: "You'er, you know how to eat the best, what kind of meals do you want to prepare at night?"

Leisurely couldn't help but say: "Mother, don't worry, this matter is left to me, wait a while my brother has settled down several cousins, I will ask him to accompany me to Zhuangzi for a trip and pick some vegetables and fruits back."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you!" Mother Qin said with relief, "Then I'll go back to the main courtyard with your father first, if you have anything to do, come to me again." ”

"Okay, Daddy is tired after a busy day, rest for a while, and when I have prepared the meal, I will send someone to inform you." Said with a leisurely smile.

Father Qin was really tired and didn't want to say anything, and this eldest daughter had never made people feel uneasy about doing things, and Father Qin felt very proud and proud.

He reached out and touched the top of his head, and said with a smile: "Then it's hard for my precious daughter!"

After listening to it leisurely, he smiled, and his eyes were bent into a good-looking crescent moon: "What hard work is there?" Daddy used to laugh. ”

"Haha......" Father Qin smiled.

After separating from his parents, he leisurely took Wanyun back to his courtyard, "Wanyun, you go and tell your brother, and when he is done, accompany me to Zhuangzi." ”

"Yes, miss." As soon as Wanyun bent his knees, he walked out with small steps.

"Miss, drink tea." Wanxue came in with tea and gently put it next to Youran.

"Evening snow, go to the kitchen and see what vegetables and fruits are left at noon?" Leisurely took a sip of tea and moistened his dry throat, and assigned tasks to a few girls by the way.

"Xi'er went to the ice cellar to see, how much ice is left? Let's go and see if the licorice I dried two days ago or something, have they all been dried? ”

"Yes, Miss." Evening snow, Sister Xi, Sister Le received the task, and saluted.

When there was only leisurely left in the room, she looked left and right outside the room, and when she was sure that no one was disturbing, she said to a certain part of the room: "Okay, there is no one, come out......"

As soon as he finished speaking, there were three people in the place where there was no one in an instant, two large and one small, and at first glance it was a family of three.

"Meet Lord Xiao Ran." Gongsun Yan's family saluted leisurely.

"Get up!" Leisurely looked at them suspiciously: "Why did you come here at this time?" Looking for me? ”

Except for the fact that she has something to do with them, their family has never taken the initiative to come to her so actively? All of a sudden, something must have happened.

"Lord Xiao Ran, my father and mother and I are going to leave for a while, and we are here to talk to you today."

"What?"
