Before, Lu Man lived in a small courtyard with Lu Yu, an eight-year-old girl from the big house. The courtyard is very small, with only three wings in the east and west, and Lu Man lives in the east wing.

Xiao Chen asked the east chamber to be opened, and the west room was stacked with a small box, eight large boxes.

While the mother-in-law was moving the box, Xiao Chen quietly asked Green Aya, "Where is Red Aya?" Why didn't she come back together? ”

Midoriya said, "Our third grandmother relies on Sister Hongya very much, and she can't leave her for a moment, so she only let me come back." ”

Xiao Chen's heart was satisfied, so he asked the girl to secretly stuff a purse containing silver bills for Lu Aya, and said, "Let Hong Aya come back to see her mother Lao Tzu if she has nothing to do." As soon as she left, her mother thought she thought so much. ”

Midoriya took the purse and smiled, "Okay, I'll bring this to me." But in my heart, I said, you just wait.

When Lu Aya came to Lanting Island with a few mule carts, Lu Man was still catching up on sleep. She was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by a loud noise. For so many days, it was the first time that Lan Tingzhou was so lively.

Lu Man hurriedly got up, put on his clothes and went out, and saw Lu Aya directing her mother-in-law to move the box into the west wing.

Red Aya stood aside with a bad look and didn't go up to help. She secretly complained that her father and brother were all in the Lu family, and she had an errand to return to the Lu family, so she should be allowed to go.

Lu Man knew her thoughts, ignored her, and went over to open the small box first. The box contained several half-worn clothes, a bronze mirror, a few gold and silver jewelry, a few old fat powder boxes, and a few combs of various sizes.

Seeing these things, Lu Man's heart was astringent and he wanted to cry. This is not only the feelings of the original owner, but also her own. In two lives, the father is a scumbag who abandons his wife and daughter, and the mother is a poor person who is abandoned, which is really a kind of fate.

In her previous life, her mother was ruthlessly abandoned by men on the grounds that the girl she gave birth to could not pass on to him as an only son. The mother of this life was ruthlessly abandoned by men on the grounds that it hindered his future.

It's just that the mother in the previous life was able to take her daughter to rely on each other for her life. And the mother in this life is even more pitiful, she was driven away by her husband's family alone, and now she doesn't know where she is.

She touched everything and put it back very solemnly. Thinking about it, I found Wang's mother in the future, and then I found a way to find He's. If she finds He, she will have a mother again in this life, and she likes to have the warmth of her mother.

The other eight boxes were full of books. As soon as the box was opened, a faint smell of rue wafted out. Lu Man thought that the original owner's longing for his mother was true, and he also knew that he would use rue grass to repel insects to protect these books.

When I opened the book, I found that only a small number of books were relatively new printed copies, and these books should have been medical books bought in the study. And most of them are handwritten "codexes", these are the "codexes" that have been passed down from generation to generation by the people of the He clan. The font of the manuscript is too large, and the characters are not easy to recognize. There are a lot of books in several large boxes, but in fact, the content is not as good as the small half box of books in the previous life.

Lu Man is still quite excited, these are priceless treasures. In particular, most of the manuscripts are cases summarized by the He family for several generations, or the analysis of incurable diseases put forward, which is far more valuable than gold, silver and jewelry. Fortunately, Xiao Chen is only the daughter of the landlord's family, and she doesn't have much culture, so she doesn't know the preciousness of these books. Red Aya wasn't very literate, and she didn't pay much attention to the books in the box. Otherwise, even if you sell it to those Langzhong, you can also get a lot of income.

There are a few wardrobes in Lan Ting Chau, but there are no bookcases, so we have to find a way to make several rows of bookcases to place them for preservation.

After dinner, the three of them turned out the book and took it out to dry in a place under the porch where it was not exposed to direct sunlight, and pressed the book with a small stone.

It's just that many of the books placed under the boxes have become damp, some have mold, and even a few have rotten corners.

Lu Man was so distressed that if the most critical place was gone, it would be a big loss. She remembered that after Wang's mother left, the original owner never read a book except for occasionally putting some rue grass in it. When Wang's mother was there, she would turn the books out and dry them every two years.

There are hundreds of books in total, and almost the front porches of the upper and side rooms are full. More than half of these books have not been read by the original owners, mainly because they have not read the manuscripts, and they feel that the words are not easy to recognize, and they will have time to study more in the future.

Seeing a piece of white flowers on the ground, the land was surging, so many reference books were worth a lot of money in the previous life, not to mention ancient times. Perhaps, there is a peerless one-of-a-kind book in it.

So many medical books made Lu Man feel good. In his previous life, Lu Man had a habit of wanting to eat something good as long as he was in a good mood to satisfy his appetite. She thought that she didn't need to go to Heming Hall to massage the old horse in the next morning, so she took out a few silver bills and asked Lu Aya to go to the big kitchen to buy some ingredients and come back to make some delicious food by herself, and by the way, she asked about Jiang Wuye's illness. It's a pity again, it would be nice if I could buy some wine and come back, I heard that osmanthus is good, but I don't dare to do it now.

When Red Aya saw that Green Aya was going out, she knelt down for Lu Man.

Lu Man asked knowingly, "Is there anything difficult about such a big gift?" ”

Hong Aya said with tears in her eyes, "Third grandmother, the slave maid has been loyal since she served the third grandmother, for fear that she would not serve well for a while and please the third grandmother. But now, the slave always feels that the third grandmother doesn't seem to trust the slave and the maid. Third grandmother, if the slave or maid has done anything wrong, please make it clear, and the slave and maid will correct it. ”

It's really a rake!

Lu Man wiped away the chill in his eyes and said with a smile, "You think too much." You have been with me for three years, and you have done many good things for me with all your heart and faith. These are good, I will always remember. It's just that I don't want the Lu family to know my current situation yet, they just want to exchange me for wealth, and they never really care about me. If you go back, your father and mother ask you, do you say yes? Say, I won't allow it. Don't say it, you're embarrassed again. That's why I let Midoriya go back. ”

As she was talking, the courtyard door rang, and Hong Aya had to get up to open the door, and then brought in a beautiful girl. This girl Lu Man has seen it once, and it is the girl of the eldest grandmother Han.

The girl bent her knees and blessed, and said with a smile, "Please the third grandmother's An, the slave is the eldest grandmother's girl pink lotus, this is the tenth day of the first month, the house will send the monthly money, and the eldest grandmother will let the slave and maid send the monthly money in the third grandmother's yard." ”

That Han is really a delicate person, and he is such an unpopular person, and he can still send a second-class girl to send monthly money.

Lu Man already knew that in this mansion, except for the subordinate officials who served the eldest princess and the grandmothers, palace maids, and eunuchs brought from the palace, the other subordinates were divided into grades based on the belts tied around their waists.

The one who wears a dark green ribbon around his waist is the housekeeper's mother-in-law, and the one who ties the gray belt is the thick mother-in-law. The pine and cypress green are the big girls, the bean green is the second-class girls, and the light green is the third-class girls and the little girls.
