When she went out, Mama Li walked in with a tea bowl and said, "The red-sleeved girl is here, I'll take some tea." After speaking, he walked straight to the cabinet against the wall, opened the door and grabbed a few handfuls of Liuli's private tea.

Liuli looked out the window and said, "Where is the red-sleeved girl?" ”

She pointed to her room: "Sit in my room, the eldest lady called her to come and talk to the girl, and after drinking tea, she will go back and forth to the girl." ”

A maid who was ordered to pass the word, did not come to talk back to the master, but went to the old woman's room to drink tea first, where is the rule? Liuli watched Mama Li go out in a dignified manner, and sat down after returning to the case without saying a word.

Red Sleeves sat next to the lavender cage, watched Mama Li come in, and said with a smile: "It's embarrassing for Mama, I bother you to entertain me." ”

Mama Li handed her the tea and said, "It's a guest who passes through the door, let alone a distinguished guest like a girl!" We don't see anyone in this yard all year round, and it's our honor to have you here. ”

Redsleeves smiled, took the tea, and put it down.

Mama Li said tentatively: "I don't know why the girl came here in person today?" ”

Red sleeves said: "Isn't there a few people in this courtyard, when Mrs. Ming'er's birthday is over, Mrs. Qian will bring someone here, and I am here to inform you today." Again—"

Speaking of this, she stopped, Mother Li hurriedly put up her ears and leaned over, she chuckled, and then said: "Again, isn't this Chinese New Year's Eve coming, the nine girls will also take the opportunity of the Chinese New Year's Eve ancestor worship to recognize the ancestors and return to the sect, according to the old lady's meaning, this is a good story, when the time comes, you have to ask the relatives to come up to watch the ceremony, in order to prove that the old lady and the eldest lady attach importance to the nine girls, there are many etiquettes in this ancestral hall, Mother Li has the responsibility to teach the nine girls, shouldn't she be good from today on?" ”

Mama Li was stunned for a long time and jumped up: "What the girl said is very true!" ”

The red sleeves came out of Mama Li's room, and Mama Li entered the glass room with the curtain. As soon as he said that the people in the room were replenished and the Chinese New Year's Eve sacrifice, he returned to the long room.

Liuli was still thinking about going to meet Dr. Wu, so she didn't have time to think about it, so she waited for Rui'er to take the food and ate it in a hurry, and then planned to go out. Mama Li blocked the door: "Where are you going, girl?" ”

Liuli said: "I have been embroidering one after another, Xu is neck frightened, it hurts very much to move, I heard that Dr. Wu is coming, I went to ask him for a few plasters." ”

"Stop!" Mama Li drank her with her waist crossed, and turned around and took out the rattan that had been smoked from the wall: "Men and women are seven years old at different tables, they don't eat together, and the girl actually ran out to see a man with a foreign surname without permission, what are the rules?" ”

Ruri stretched out her hand: "I'm just asking the doctor to take a look at the disease-"

"That's not allowed!" Mother Li snorted coldly: "It's only half a month before Chinese New Year's Eve now, and the girl is still so unruly, whose face will she lose then?" It's the face of the whole Hofu! From now on, you won't be allowed to go anywhere, just practice the rules for me in the house!" ”

Liuli couldn't help but pull down her face: "Could it be that today I am terminally ill, and Mama is going to block my way?" ”

"If the girl is terminally ill, since someone has invited the doctor to the door, anyway, from now on, you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Mama Li waved the rattan, and the momentum of the majestic mountains and rivers when she first came to the small cross-courtyard returned.

Liuli gritted her teeth: "You try to block my way again!" ”

Rui'er heard the movement in the house, and hurriedly rushed out of the house: "Mama Li, don't go too far, the ninth girl is the master after all!" ”

Mama Li snorted: "The old slave is also good for the master!" ”

Liuli didn't know where she suddenly came from so boldly, and stood there with a blue face for a while. Rui'er knew that Red Sleeves had come, and when she saw that they were deadlocked, she guessed that Red Sleeves had said something to Mama Li behind her back, so she hugged Liuli: "Girl, let's go into the house." ”

Liuli followed her into the house with a calm face, and when she saw the tea cup on the table, she couldn't help but think of the dead old woman who had just taken her tea to entertain the red sleeves, and when she was out of breath, she grabbed a cup and threw it on the ground. Rui'er hurriedly knelt down: "The grievances in the girl's heart, the slave and maid are the most clear, but please think about it, every move in this house is in the eyes of the eldest lady, Mama Li must have been instigated by someone to do this, the girl must not be in the way of others!" ”

Liuli was a spirit, and it was like an initiation in an instant, and then she remembered that she had forgotten that Red Sleeves had been in this old pious woman's house for a long time, where did she have the confidence to fight against herself to the end, wasn't it because of Red Sleeves? When he sat on the kang with his ass, he took out a copy of "The Female Commandment" and snorted coldly: "Sooner or later, you won't be able to eat and walk around!" ”

In the matter of revenge, she was the most calm, so she made up her mind, and she calmed down her anger and memorized the book quietly.

Rui'er secretly admired her for being so free, and was afraid that her neck would hurt tightly, so she said: "Why don't you go to the front yard to meet Dr. Wu and ask him to give a few pairs of plasters for the slave to bring back?" ”

Liuli thought for a while and sighed: "It's just a plaster, I'll go to meet him for another thing." As she spoke, she got up and took out a small cloth bag from the drawer under the bookcase, "When no one is around, you quietly let him take a look, what kind of medicine is mixed in this rice cake?" What is the effect, where do you usually get it, ask me clearly. ”

Rui'er looked at the cloth bag, and her body shook suddenly. Liuli held her up: "What's wrong with you?" I think you've been suffering from a serious illness for the past few days - it's true that your injuries are worth a serious illness, but it's not like you're going to be weak? ”

Liuli chattered and helped her sit down, her face turned pale and shook her head: "It's okay, the girl doesn't have to worry, it's just that when I look at the two empty beds at night, I always panic in my heart, and I don't rest." Looking at the cloth bag on the bookcase, he stood up again, and after a long time, he held it in his hand and said, "The slave and maid will go." Then he hurried out the door.

Ruri shook her head at her back and sighed back to the kang.

Mama Li said that she should make good rules, and she actually counted the words, and moved the carved chair in the next day, and sat on it like a Buddha, holding a rattan in her left hand, and holding a glass of Emei green tea in her right hand, and asked her to practice saluting all kinds of people over and over again.

Liuli gritted her teeth and didn't say more nonsense to her. However, Rui'er saw that she had performed the blessing ceremony for more than two hours, and her knees were almost unable to bend, and she was so distressed that she couldn't help but curse a few words of old immortality when she waited for the old pious woman to go to the toilet.

When dinner was served, Rui'er was not so polite and pushed all the food of Liuli in front of Liuli.

Mama Li's face immediately darkened, "What does this mean?" Why won't you let me eat it? ”

Rui'er pinched her palms: "Since you want to talk about the rules, let's talk about it together, this is the girl's meal, you are a subordinate, what qualifications do you have to eat?" ”

Mama Li slapped the chopsticks on the table, "The old lady is a teaching mother, and she can't be half a master, as the saying goes, one day is a teacher and a father is lifelong, and parents are not qualified to eat a few bites of food for their children?!" ”

Rui'er's face turned red, and she tried her best to argue: "You are strong!" ”

Liuli looked at them coldly while eating, and didn't plan to participate, Rui'er naturally couldn't compete with Mama Li, and she was defeated in a few moves, but seeing that Liuli had eaten about the same, she just forgot it.

After the meal, Rui'er took hot water to soak Liuli's feet, and Liuli asked her, "How did you do it?" ”

Rui'er paused her hand and said, "I asked, but Dr. Wu said it was nothing." ”

Ruri sat up: "How can it be nothing?" So many birds have been brought down! ”

Rui'er was stunned, and Liuli also raised her own words, so she said: "I mean, there is obviously something wrong with the white rice cake, and you didn't let him smell it or anything?" ”

Rui'er lowered her head and went to give her a pancreas, "Smelled, he said it would be fine at all." ”

Liuli was speechless, how could it be? Obviously there is some kind of drug that can make people drowsy, if it is just for hunting birds, why put it in a cloth bag? And for game birds, the effect is too strong. According to prior speculation, Cui Ying died quietly in a coma and struggled weakly, and Mama Li also confessed that she also ate white rice cakes before she died, so the bag of rice cakes she picked up was very likely to be leftover from her, and it is also the key evidence to prove that she died of his murder, and now Dr. Wu actually said that there is no problem, Liuli really doesn't know whether to suspect him as a quack doctor, or suspect him of participating in murder.

She asked Rui'er, "What about the cloth bag?" Where did you put it? ”

Rui'er stood up: "Cloth bag...... When I lost it, the slave saw that it was dirty, so I threw it into the lake. ”

Liuli choked his wrist: "How can you lose such an important thing!" ”

Rui'er was at a loss. Liuli hated it for a long time, thinking that the little clue that was finally obtained was so gone, and then trying to find out about this matter, it was really difficult to climb to the sky! Seeing her pale face, I thought that I hadn't told her about this matter, and I couldn't blame her completely, so I eased my tone: "If there is such a thing next time, you can't make your own decisions." Rui'er hurriedly responded, squatting down to put on her shoes and socks. Liuli said: "In two days, Mrs. Qian will bring a newcomer to come, and when there are people living in the house, it won't be so panicked, I thought that if no one came, I would let people remove the two beds,—— you stay up for two more days." ”

Rui'er helped her to stand still and said, "Let the girl worry about it." ”

Liuli hummed and sighed: "It's right now—I'm going to the long room early tomorrow morning, but the congratulatory gift for the eldest lady hasn't been prepared yet!" ”

Rui'er thought for a while, "During the day, the slave maid inquired about the congratulatory gifts of the second girl and the seventh girl, because the two girls still have their aunts on the gifts, so they are ready to make a few snacks to express their gratitude, and the girls can consider it and take a look." If we also send snacks, the slave will have a few snacks, and then borrow them from the small kitchen next door to use them. ”

Dim sum glass can also be made, my grandfather is a gentleman who cooks far away, but her mother is a clever woman, just dim sum can make more than 20 kinds, not to mention the dishes, in short, the two uncles are full of praise for their mother's cooking skills. There is a mother with strong cooking skills, as a child is not a chance to be blue, the dishes are down, sometimes you can play on your own, but make dim sum purely by skill, and the glass will learn a total of six or seven things.

Of course, it is enough to know how to do six or seven things, but if she eats and worships, doesn't she give some people a chance to do it ready-made? When Yu ate her things, she suddenly had a headache and abdominal pain or something, so she wasn't looking for guilt?

She is thinking nonsense here, Rui'er is also worried about it next to her, this gift is not light, and if it is heavy, it can't be given, and other girls are just fine, and the Yu family doesn't care about their things, but her girl is different, her status is so embarrassing, and if she is not careful, she can make a big fuss and cause trouble, so she has to be cautious.

"There it is!" Suddenly, Liuli sat up straight, her eyes lit up like a cold star: "I thought of a good ready-made object!" ”

Rui'er hurriedly clasped the edge of the table with both hands: "What is it!" ”

Liuli smiled, walked to the cabinet slowly, opened the door and took out a small cloth bag from the dark compartment, opened it layer by layer, and a brilliant golden butterfly Hua Sheng immediately appeared in front of him.

Rui'er looked at Ruri in a daze.

Liuli picked it up and smiled coldly: "The Qi clan and the Yu clan are fighting each other, making me jump here until two lives are killed, this pot of muddy water, why don't I stir it up more?" Isn't this golden butterfly the best gift for the Yu family? I just have to throw this stone down, and I don't care if it will stir up wind and waves, and how many layers of wind and waves it will cause! ”

Rui'er gasped and involuntarily tightened the placket.
