Chapter 219: This Way and That Way
The Mingcui courtyard next to it is a two-entry courtyard, and there is no back cover room at the back, a small garden, which is very exquisite.
The Huifang Courtyard behind the slope looks like it has just been renovated, and it is also a two-entry courtyard, with red pillars and green tiles, which looks very rich.
got off the sedan chair in front of Ming'an Courtyard, Mrs. Yan was full of smiles, and Mrs. Xu carefully introduced: "This Huifang Courtyard was originally the old lady's study, you also know, the old lady's eyes are spent, these ten years, I have not read books for a long time, please show me, simply vacate it, this courtyard is exquisite and elegant, it is best for Sister Dong or Ah Xia to live."
This Ming'an Courtyard and Mingcui Courtyard have been empty, just renovated this spring, very clean, Ming'an Courtyard is larger, and there is a small kitchen at the back, I didn't discuss with you, I will make the decision first, according to you and the third master's residence.
Although Mingcui Courtyard is smaller than Huifang Courtyard, it is better to have a small garden in the back, which was carefully arranged by everyone, and they all said that it is elegant, these two courtyards are cleaned up in the same way, Sister Dong and Ah Xia each have one, who lives in which place, your sisters discuss it yourself.
Brother Lan is thirteen years old this year, I picked the yard closest to his fifth brother, and it has been cleaned up, you are all very tired at this time, so let Brother Lan rest in his fifth brother's yard for a day, and wait for tomorrow Let's go over again to see if it is suitable, arrange it, and then let Brother Lan live in.
It's far away, I didn't have time to discuss it with you, so I arranged it first, and if you don't see where it is suitable, let people change it immediately, and if you want to change it to a very convenient one, just say it.
It's too late at this time, and when the year begins, let people connect the middle of these three courtyards with verandahs, and come and go as a convenience. ”
"It's all suitable, it's not suitable anymore, sister-in-law bothered." The warm tears in Mrs. Xu's heart almost fell again.
"Auntie, here, and here, where is it close to the courtyard of the seventh sister?" Li Xia reached out and took Mrs. Yan's hand, looked up and asked her.
Mrs. Yan smiled, and lightly tapped her finger on Li Xia's forehead, "It's close, and you're naughty with your seventh sister, right?" It's not close to here or here! ”
Li Xia immediately turned around, grabbed Grandma Shen's hand with one hand, and grabbed Grandma Yao with the other, "Third sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law, I like you the most, which one is closer to Seventh Sister?" ”
Grandma Shen San and Grandma Yao Si couldn't stop laughing, Shen San Grandma looked at Mrs. Yan, she only smiled and didn't dare to talk more, but Yao Si Grandma bowed her mouth to Mingcui Courtyard, "Even if it's close, it's not a few steps close." ”
"I live in Mingcui Temple!" Li Xia immediately announced.
Mrs. Yan laughed, pointed at Li Xia and Mrs. Xu, and said, "When she was four or five years old, I saw that she was a ghost, is she also very naughty all day long?" ”
Mrs. Xu smiled and nodded.
Mrs. Yan pointed to Mingcui Courtyard to Li Xia, and asked Grandma Yao Si to quickly watch the people carry their luggage to each person's courtyard, and she accompanied Mrs. Xu to Mingcui Courtyard and Huifang Courtyard to take a look around, and then to Ming'an Courtyard.
In the Ming'an Courtyard, Mama Hong had already gotten the letter, and the kitchen behind her should be complete, and Mrs. Tang was already busy boiling porridge and making a few delicious hot and cold dishes.
Mrs. Yan didn't delay much, and said goodbye, and sure enough, the Tang family outside, and the mother-in-law sent by General Lu's wife Ruan to say hello had already arrived.
Li Wenshan was not in the house, Li Wenlan followed in Ming'an Courtyard first, he ate a lot at noon, and when he came out of the bath, he yawned sleepily and fell asleep.
Li Dong held his heart high from the moment he entered the main courtyard of Mrs. Yao, and he almost didn't eat much at lunch, not to mention Mrs. Xu, she couldn't even finish a cup of tea, and the two of them were very hungry at this time, so they quickly sat down to eat.
Li Xia was full of food, bathed and washed, took green fruits and elm leaves, first looked carefully in front of Ming'an Courtyard, and then ran to Huifang Courtyard to take a closer look, and came out to return to Ming'an Courtyard, Mrs. Xu just crooked down to rest for a while.
Li Xia glanced at it, and was about to withdraw lightly, outside the Ming'an Courtyard, the little girl raised her voice to report in, and said respectfully: "Third wife, the ancestor said that I haven't seen you for decades, I want to talk to you well, please come over." ”
Mrs. Xu hurriedly struggled to sit up and asked for the clothes to be brought in.
She was seasick and dizzy, although the boat was big and stable, and the people were in a good mood, I don't know how much better than when I went to Hengshan County, but the seasickness still had to be dizzy, and I almost didn't sleep along the way, at this time, I was really tired.
"I'll go with my mother." Li Xia immediately jumped up and shouted.
The little girl glanced at her, lowered her head and said, "The old ancestor only said that he invited the third lady to come over and speak." ”
"Sister Dong looked at your sister, let her rest well, don't get tired and sick." Mrs. Xu instructed Li Dong, took the big girl Lilac, forced her full spirit, and went out to the main courtyard.
Li Dong watched A-Niang out of the weeping flower gate with great worry, Li Xia stood next to her and pulled her, "Sister, I have to settle my yard by myself, I'll go back first, and my sister will sleep for a while, and rest her strength, so that she can help a group of A-Niang and let A-Niang serve the ancestors wholeheartedly." ”
Li Dong hugged his sister and sighed, "Sister knows, sister is fine, A-Niang is fine, you can also sleep well." ”
"Hmm. Mama Hong, can you help me clean up? Li Xia agreed, turned around and pulled Mama Hong, who was also standing under the porch worriedly.
"Good, good! I still think you can really clean up by yourself, dare to feel sorry for your sister, this child, just have a lot of eyes. Mama Hong sighed, pulled Li Xia, and went to the Mingcui Courtyard next to her.
Entering the Mingcui Courtyard, Li Xia followed Mama Hong, carefully checking everywhere from front to back, while gossiping: "Mama, Mr. said that my uncle and grandmother will not be able to go to the capital until the New Year?" ”
"If you are in a hurry, you can arrive in the first few days, and what will be the time after the year...... Hey, it's not a year later, the first few years are also a year later. This room is arranged for night use, preferably, from the house at a glance, you can see clearly. Mama Hong replied while arranging various places.
"Mama, my uncle said that grandma is amazing, how can grandma be amazing? Isn't it fierce? Mama, I'm a little scared. Li Xia then talked about her grandmother.
"Awesome is not fierce, Ninth Sister, Mama told you, the face is fierce, the evil spirit is exposed, that is called stupid, but it is not called powerful, this hanging flower door is really beautiful." Mama Hong looked back and forth several times under the door of the hanging flowers.
"How powerful is that grandmother? Uncle said that my grandmother was the best at arguing with people. Li Xia only stared at Grandma Hong, who was one of Mama Hong's favorite topics to talk about.
"How awesome? That's a long talk, the first one, your grandmother is an understanding person, she talks and does things, and she stands on Li'er, and the second one, your grandmother is not like your mother, alas, you and Sister Dong, Sister Dong is like your mother, I look at you, but like your grandmother, your grandmother saw you, and it hurts, your grandmother doesn't like your aunt like this. ”
