Having said that, it was really boring to lie there all the time, so she had to focus on the conversation between the two maids at the door. The two of them, one is a young woman who is doing needlework, and others seem to call her "second sister-in-law", according to Liu Xixi's guess, it may be a nursing mother (Liu Xixi sweats: A one-year-old child should be weaned, right?). I hope she doesn't need to feed me anymore); The other is just an eleven or twelve-year-old little girl, who looks thin and small, but her temperament is quite lively, but she is a little tongue-twisting, because Liu Xixi can hear her squeaking almost all day long, saying that the east family, the west family is short, "oops, the little girl is awake" or "the third brother Ma ate an extra cake today" or something. It's the same now, although the second sister-in-law always told her not to make noise about "little chick" (Liuxisi: Does this mean me?). She still couldn't help but speak, at most she just lowered her voice. And the topic that made her so excited happened to be the reason why the "little girl" who was eavesdropping on the side now fell seriously ill.

She lowered her voice at the moment, approached the second sister-in-law, and looked mysterious: "The East Chamber quarreled early this morning, smashed vases and chairs, and cried and shouted, nine times out of ten they were crazy." ”

The second sister-in-law sneered: "Aren't you crazy?" She did such a bad thing, she was caught, and she had a bad face, but no one with a little eyesight would do that. I'd rather the third grandmother kicked her out sooner. ”

"I heard that the third grandmother replied to the third master and wanted to drive her out, but the third master didn't speak. She is so noisy every day that everyone else hears it. Xiang'er on the other side of the door yesterday quietly asked me what it was. ”

Hearing her say this, the second sister-in-law immediately glared at her: "You still dare to chew your tongue with outsiders?!" Watch your skin! ”

"How dare I, it's Xiang'er's mother who came to borrow soybean oil that day, and when she heard the commotion in the East Chamber, she didn't know which one was talkative, so she told her. Xiang'er heard about it and came to me to ask. ”

"Even if it doesn't work, what's the good thing? She asks you, and you should go back. It's okay for me, if you let the third grandmother know that you are talking outside, beware that she will even pull out the root of your tongue, and see if you have more mouths. ”

"What, you're talking nonsense." The little girl didn't comply, retracted her head, and pouted, "How could the third grandmother do this, at most a few words of scolding." Her old man has always been the most pitiful, such a kind person, otherwise he would not have let the one in the East Chamber climb on her head. ”

"You know what? Which one of the people above is easy to get along? The second sister-in-law just sneered, "This time it's also the confusion of the East Chamber, thinking that getting rid of Brother Duan'er and Xiao Niuniu can monopolize the third master, and trampling the third grandmother on the soles of her feet?" Don't look at what her identity is, a girl, even if her ancestors burn high incense if she can be a concubine, and she still wants to go against the grandmother of the main house, does she think the third master will stand on her side? I don't want to think about it, Brother Duan'er and Xiao Niuniu are the flesh and blood of the third master, if something happens, it's too late to feel distressed, how can they help her, the murderer? ”

"Isn't it? I heard that it was the third grandmother who helped her up to be a concubine, otherwise how could she have such a beauty, wasn't she just like me, a girl waiting for people? The third grandmother treated her so well, but she took revenge, she must have gone crazy a long time ago. ”

The second sister-in-law didn't say anything when she heard this, but just lowered her head and made needle money. The little girl saw that she didn't answer, she was quiet for a while, and felt bored, so she talked about the things on the side: "I don't know how Brother Duan'er is, the third grandmother is in the room over there every day, and the third master also goes to guard it as soon as he comes back from an errand, they all come back at night, but the little girl is still dumbfounded, not crying, not making a noise, and ignoring people, how can this be done?" ”

The child was frightened, and after two days he was relieved. Brother Duan'er is very sick, it is October now, Fengtian is much colder than Beijing, the water in the pond can be frozen, adults can't stand it, not to mention that Brother Duan'er is not yet six years old. ”

When she had finished speaking, she picked up the scissors and cut off the thread, and picked up the needlework again to look at the light. The little girl looked at it with envy: "Second sister-in-law, you are really good at needlework, when will I be able to do such a bright job, you can teach me." ”

"Okay." The second sister-in-law didn't raise her head, "As long as you use all the skills of chewing your tongue to practice needlework, in a few more years, you will be better than me." After that, he raised his head and shouted out the door: "Xiaomei, Xiaomei, come here." ”

After a while, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl came. The second sister-in-law handed her the needlework: "This is a belly pocket made for Duange'er, I embroidered the word Baifu on it, you bring it to him, it can be regarded as a blessing." The girl agreed, took it and turned around and left, didn't take two steps and stopped, turned back to the little girl and said, "Xiao Tao, don't keep talking, the third grandmother asked me to call you to the kitchen, I want to boil medicine for my brother today, I don't have time to help." You go and chop up the wood. With that, he left.

When the little peach heard this, the whole person was deflated, and turned her head to say something to the second sister-in-law, but when she saw that the second sister-in-law just squinted at her, she had to hang her head and go out.

Liu Xixi just listened from the sidelines, a little sleepy, so he closed his eyes to recuperate. The second sister-in-law turned around to look at her, saw her eyes closed, thought she was asleep, came up to tuck the quilt for her, looked at this cute little face, and remembered her two children in the capital, her husband and wife left them to their in-laws, and followed the third master's family to this Fengtian, I don't know what happened to them, the second girl was born and left her mother, and now she is afraid that she is about the same age as the little girl.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch her hair, but he didn't want Liu Xixi to open his eyes, and his big round eyes only looked at her. She looked funny, and with a smile on her face, she said, "So you're not asleep, you little girl." After that, he loosened the quilt and only looked at the child in the eyes: "You are also a great fate, thanks to your brother's desperate exaltation of you, not letting you get a little water, if not, you will be thrown into the cold pool alone, and after a while, your brother will be very sick." He loves you and loves you so much, you can treat him well when you grow up, eh? ”

Only then did Liu Xixi know that the reason why she was able to cross was because of the little "brother" who bravely protected her sister. In her previous life, she was an only child, and she always envied that people had brothers, but she didn't expect that after crossing over, she would also have a brother.

She is quite acceptable to her new identity now.

The second sister-in-law was gossiping and patting her to lull her to sleep. Maybe he hadn't enjoyed this kind of treatment for a long time, Liu Xixi felt sleepy after a while, his eyelids drooped, and he became confused after a while. The second sister-in-law only felt that the little girl was getting more and more normal, and she didn't stay much anymore, thinking that she would get better soon, and she was very happy, and she still took pictures in her hand.

At this time, a voice came from the door: "How is the little girl today?" As soon as the voice fell, a young woman wearing a stone blue cheongsam walked in, it turned out to be Xiao Niuniu and Duange'er's mother-in-law, Tong Shi. The second sister-in-law hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and replied: "It's much better, I'm still a little stupid, but now I know how to read people, I want to come in two days, I just coaxed her to sleep." Tong sighed and said, "Amitabha, it's okay." The second sister-in-law asked again: "Did the third grandmother just come from the brother's room?" How is he today? Tong Shi knew that she had also been her son's nurse and really loved both children, so she replied: "After taking medicine, the fever has subsided." The doctor said it was okay, so I was relieved to come and take a look. Even the second sister-in-law began to recite the Buddha.

Tong Shi looked at the youngest daughter, and asked the second sister-in-law about today's chores, and when she was satisfied, she sat down on a chair in the middle of the room, and said: "I just saw you make a belly pocket for Brother Duan'er, it's hard for you to have a heart, just put it on for him, and he will be much better, presumably it is your sincerity, and it is unknown if you moved the heavens." The second sister-in-law hurriedly said: "This is a torture slave, this is obviously a blessing for my brother, God also bless him, that belly pocket is just a coincidence." The slave maid didn't have much knowledge, but when she heard that the tricks of the word Baifu were auspicious, she thought about trying it for her brother. There is such a great ability there, so that God is also moved? ”

Tong's mood may be very good, and his face has always been smiling: "Why are you so cautious? When Brother Chu Duan was young, I had to wait for his grandmother, and I couldn't pay attention to him all day long, didn't you do all his things? Now that you have nursed his sister again, you can rest assured that my two children will be grateful for your kindness and will honor you in the future. ”

The meaning of these words was a little unclear, and the second sister-in-law hurriedly waved her hand: "The third grandmother doesn't dare to be a slave and maid, the slave and maid are the sons of the family in the house, and they have been the slaves of his family all their lives, and they can serve the two little masters, it is a blessing for the slaves and maids, even if there are no slaves and maids, there are others who milk them." Now the masters treat the slaves and maids so politely, which is the blessing of the slaves and maids for several generations, how dare they dare to hope for the future. Grandma, don't say such things again, the slave can't afford it. ”

Tong smiled and said, "What are you afraid of, family, why be so careful." Am I still treating you as an outsider? A few jokes, you are so panicked, don't be a 'slave' or a slave anymore. The second sister-in-law just listened and knew that it couldn't be true.

Then the two of them exchanged a few other gossips. After a while, Xiaomei's voice came from outside: "Third grandma, Brother Duan'er is awake." Tong was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't care about anything else, so he just asked the second sister-in-law to take care of the little girl, so he hurriedly rushed to his son's room.

As soon as she left, the second sister-in-law breathed a big sigh of relief, and then she felt that her legs were a little weak, and she slowly paced to the bed of the little girl, sat on the bed step, and muttered to herself: "Amiable people......"

She only stared at the bed tent in a daze, and didn't see that the little girl on the bed opened her eyes, and a pair of dark eyes were also looking at her in a daze.
