On the twenty-third day of the twelfth month of the seventeenth year of Kangping, the Hongfu on this day was very lively, and the lights in the house were colorful, and it was not much more than the New Year.

As for this excitement, it is naturally not only because this day is a small year, but also because two years ago today, Su Shi, the hostess of Hongfu, gave birth to a daughter at dawn.

So today is also the second birthday of the daughter of the Hong Mansion.

As it had been two years before, the heavy snow that had been blowing last night had continued all night and stopped at dawn.

With a thick layer of snow on the ground and the moon still hanging in the sky, you can see clearly from the outside even if it is still past four o'clock.

And at this time, the people in the house also rose up one after another.

The work of cleaning the yard and clearing the snow is the heaviest unintentionally, and the place where the masters live and go often must not be left with a single snow slag.

Seven or eight rough maids were all dressed in thick cotton clothes and trousers, and they were covered with a crimson muslin face and a long armor in rabbit skin.

With fur gloves on their hands and boots in sheepskin on their feet, they all sighed, and quickly swept out the path paved with bluestone slabs, so as not to fall off the errand man for a while.

Falling and injuring yourself is one thing, and delaying the errand is more problematic. Especially since today is the girl's birthday.

After a while, the ear rooms on both sides of the main room in the inner courtyard shone through the windows, and a few rough envoys who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly brought hot water over and knocked on the door!

A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old with clear eyebrows opened the door, wearing only a jacket, and shivering as soon as the cold wind poured into her.

The mother-in-law who delivered the water hurriedly blocked the door with her body, and said softly: "It snowed last night, Miss Fubao go in!" ”

The maid named Fubao also hurriedly asked the mother-in-law to bring water in and gently closed the door. "I'm tired of my mother!"

When the woman entered the door, she felt the heat rushing to her face, and she was envious.

It's a good life to be a big girl, the ear room where you live is covered with floor heating, and the other rooms are burning charcoal and have to put on a cotton jacket, and this house, just wearing a jacket feels hot!

Thinking so in her heart, the rough mother-in-law respectfully put the wooden bucket with hot water in the washroom separated by a screen, and took out the commode by the way.

When he came out, another girl wearing a half-new pine-colored jacket was sitting at the local wenge table, pouring a sip of herbal tea to drink.

"How does Miss Xibao drink herbal tea? The kitchen was already on fire, and I went to ask the girl for a pot of hot water. ”

The maid named Xibao waved her hand and poured the herbal tea into her mouth in one gulp, and then said, "Where can I drink the overnight tea!" This is boiled water that dried before going to bed yesterday. This floor heating is warm, that is, when you wake up, your throat is dry and smoking! ”

Xibao poured another glass and asked, "I just heard my mother say that it's snowing outside?" ”

No, the mother-in-law nodded, "No, it's the same as when my grandmother gave birth to a big girl the year before last, they all fell all night, and it didn't stop until dawn!" ”

"It's really true, grandma is right. If my mother was not busy, she would run an errand for me, and told the kitchen that my grandmother had instructed me to boil a few more pots of red date and ginger soup, and told everyone in the house to drink two large bowls to get rid of the cold.

If anyone suffered from the cold yesterday, they should also hurry up to Aunt Zhao (Zhao Youyu's family) to get two pairs of medicine and decoction to drink! ”

After Xibao finished speaking, the rough mother-in-law said happily: "I'll go and tell the kitchen." ”

The man in her family didn't wear a coat last night, but the charcoal basin had long been extinguished, and he had some nasal congestion when he got up today.

Although she complained about the boss for a while, she calculated how much money it would cost him to take medicine, and there was no "full attendance award" for lost work, at least fifty dollars were gone, until the boss deeply realized her mistake, and then she gave up.

But whose man is distressed, plus the grandmother in the house is kind and generous, the two of them have saved a lot of silver, and the two pairs of medicines are still eaten, and they are about to go to the pharmacy to grab two pairs of medicines after finishing their errands today.

Who knows how to be unhappy when they hear the good news now? When he went out, he handed the commode to the old sister who begged for it, recited the Buddha on his lips, said this good thing, and hurried to the kitchen.

Other coarse envoys who got the faith first also chanted the Buddha again and again, only saying "Grandma must be the reincarnation of the dragon girl beside the Bodhisattva", and only said that Su Su has something in the sky and nothing on the earth.

And in the ear room, the maid who opened the door before, that is, Fu Bao, also washed her face and came out, looked at Xi Bao with a smile, and said: "I will have to see if the sun will hit the west today, so you actually asked a rough woman to do it!" ”

Xibao glanced at Fubao, and said as he walked towards the clean room: "I will respond to your point, and you are still ready to bury me for the rest of my life!" At that time, it wasn't small, who hadn't committed two! ”

Fu Bao smiled: "Why are you burying you, I'm praising you!" ”

"Thank you!"

Xibao entered the clean room, looked at the pretty girl reflected in the half-human-high glass mirror hanging on the wall, and grinned, revealing two sweet dimples.

At the beginning, my grandmother obviously didn't like her heart, and she looked like she was going to dislike her, either someone else, or Xibao thought that the best ending for herself was to be sent to Zhuangzi by the master, and when she was old, she would be a little girl, and that would be it for the rest of her life!

But no one thought that grandma not only didn't send her away, but also began to reuse her after Sister Fandai left.

In the blink of an eye, she has been a big girl for two years, and she is also in charge of the house, and now who sees it and doesn't call it "Xibao girl"!

Xibao thought that she would never forget what her grandmother said to her when she saw her alone.

"People say that God loves people, but I believe that opportunities are always only given to those who are prepared, and it is not a bad thing to have a few hearts, but a bad thing is to be smart!

You're not a crooked girl, it's just that you haven't recognized yourself a little hard when you enter this rich township.

Remember, in addition to loyalty, there is also duty. ”

Xibao only thought that her grandmother was going to drive her out of the house, and she scared herself to death, but she didn't want to hear such words.

By now, Xibao remembers that he didn't dare to cry, in fact, his face was already full of tears and snot.

And what made her think about it now and want to find a crack in the ground to get into was that she asked in a daze after hearing her grandmother's words.

"Isn't grandma driving the slaves out of the house?"

After hearing this, my grandmother immediately had a regretful expression on her face, "I'm afraid this is not a fool".

Xibao suddenly went online with his IQ, and "plopped" to his grandmother and showed his loyalty.

Later, after getting acquainted with grandma, she could also say some intimate words to grandma like Sister Fandai, and grandma also told her that if she hadn't been blessed in an instant and her soul had recovered her cleverness, then their master and servant would really be fated!

Xibao looked at himself very smartly in the mirror at this time, and imitated his grandmother's appearance, and gestured to the mirror, "Praise for yourself today!" ”
