Chapter Eighty-Five: Hope

When Mama Yang returned to Chunxiao Garden, she drove everyone out, leaned into Mrs. Xie's ear and whispered what happened just now, and said softly: "Madam, the young grandmother has really changed a lot, but no matter how much she changes, she shouldn't give up her favorite things, unless she ......."

Mrs. Xie said softly: "Unless it is boring, for her, the favorite will bring her pain." ”

Mama Yang nodded again and again, and said with tears in her eyes: "At the beginning, the young master ran back because the young grandmother sent him a poem, and after hearing that the young master had an accident, the young grandmother often said that she hurt him, and he shouldn't have sent that poem in the first place......"

Mrs. Xie leaned her head against the wall and did not speak.

Mama Yang wiped her tears and said: "When the young master was buried, the young grandmother took the things in the tomb to accompany the burial, in addition to a wedding dress and a box, I don't know what is inside, why don't you ask the slave maid about Lichun and Lixia?" ”

Mrs. Xie frowned, "It's been so long, what are you doing with these things?" ”

"Madam, if what the loyal servant of the Lin family said in the letter is the truth, then you must always know what she thinks when you persuade the young grandmother." Mama Yang persuaded: "Do you think today's young grandmother looks like a person who wants to die? ”

"It's not, she is in good spirits and has tough eyes, where does it mean suicide? But why did the old man say that? ”

Mrs. Xie pursed her lips and said in silence: "Then you can go." ”

"But," Mrs. Xie frowned and said, "Lichun and Lixia are not transferred, where do you go to find them?" ”

"They are also in the other courtyard, and now they are in charge of the Lin family's weaver and embroiderer, and they are also a little steward, but they rarely see the young grandmother."

Among the girls of the Lin family, Mama Yang and Lichun Lixia are the most familiar, after all, Sister Wan used to take them in and out.

Not long after Xie Erlang was buried, Lichun and Lixia were transferred away from Lin Qingwan's side by Lin Jiang, and Mrs. Xie and Mama Yang knew that he was afraid that Lin Qingwan would touch the scene and be in a bad mood.

But after all, it was Mama Yang's most familiar girl, so as soon as she arrived at Lin's house, she inquired with the little girls who came to serve.

The whereabouts of Lichun and Lixia are not secrets, and there is nothing to hide, almost as soon as you ask.

Mama Yang found an opportunity to go to the Lin family's weaving workshop to meet Lichun and Lixia. In the Lin family, there is almost nothing that can be hidden from Mama Lin, and she almost knew it as soon as Mama Yang arrived at the weaving workshop.

She didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to Lin Qingwan to report.

Lin Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Mama Yang is familiar with those two girls, maybe there is something to find them, so you can go and go, don't worry about it." ”

Mama Lin frowned, "What can I do to find the two little girls?" ”

"I'll know if I ask Lichun and Lixia," Lin Qingwan smiled lightly: "They are loyal, and they will definitely say it when Mama asks." ”

Mama Lin immediately got up, "At that moment, the slave maid will go to the weaving workshop to have a look, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, my aunt and grandmother and the eldest lady have to make a few new clothes, I will go and see the fabric." ”

At this time, Mama Yang was pulling Lichun and Lixia to stand by the river and talk, "You guys have a good errand, it can be seen that the young grandmother has not forgotten you, maybe in a few years, she will transfer you back." ”

Lichun shook his head and said, "We are very satisfied to stay here, and we don't expect to return to my aunt and grandmother." ”

Lixia shook his head, "Grandma arranged us in another courtyard, it is already against the master's will, if we are really transferred back, Steward Lin is afraid that the first one will not agree." ”

"Is your lord prejudiced against you?"

The two girls shook their heads and sighed: "When my aunt and grandmother see us, they think of our uncle, and they feel uncomfortable, how can we go back?" ”

"It's been so long......"

Lichun and Lixia's eyes were slightly red, and they still shook their heads and said: "We have served my aunt and grandmother since we were children, and we know her best, but don't look at her and don't say anything, I must still remember it in my heart." I didn't talk about it when I was in Yangzhou, but since I returned to Suzhou, we saw her twice, and every time she saw us, she was stunned, and she would pay tribute to her uncle in the courtyard that night. ”

"In addition, every month on the fifteenth day of the new year, my aunt and grandmother also have to set up a sacrifice in the courtyard, and it has not been interrupted for more than a year, do you say, she seems to be the one who wants to open?" Lichun wiped his tears and said: "We don't expect to go back, we just hope that my aunt and grandmother can be healthy and happy, and our hearts will not be so uncomfortable." ”

Mama Yang was stunned, "She, she doesn't look like it now, I see that she is much better." ”

"That's for the eldest lady and the Lin family," Lixia pointed to the hot farm outside and said: "It wasn't that big before, since the imperial court made up the official document, saying that these jue fields can be used as the Yongye field of the aunt and the eldest lady, the aunt and grandmother began to let go of their hands and feet, we estimate that this is to leave some things for the eldest lady, after all, the Lin family's property was donated before, and there was not much left." ”

"The eldest lady is thirteen this year, filial piety next winter, and the spring of the year after next year will be in time, if the family property is not abundant, how can you say goodbye?"

After all, her conditions are good but not good, although she is the county lord, she has no father, no mother, and no brothers and sisters, and she is very weak in this era when marrying is getting married.

If you marry more, you will have more confidence.

Mama Yang returned to Chunxiao Yuan in a daze, she recognized that she had read countless people, and she also had some skills to meet people, from goodbye to the young grandmother to the present, she was sure that she had no intention of dying, but why did so many people think she had the will to die?

Mrs. Xie also frowned, she naturally agreed with Mama Yang, and thought for a while: "Let's go to Dr. Xu tomorrow and ask, and the loyal servant of the Lin family, since he wrote to us, most of them will come to see us." ”

"That young grandmother asked you to go to Zhuangzi tomorrow to inspect the matter......"

Mrs. Xie wanted to refuse, because she had copied fewer Buddhist scriptures in the past few days, and she wanted to make up for it, but thinking that Sister Wan'er's matter had not yet been decided, she said: "You should go down, I will inquire with her tomorrow." ”

The harvest makes people happy, and Lin Qingwan believes that anyone who sees the yellow wheat and the rice that is about to ripen in the field will be happy.

So she asked Mrs. Xie to take a look, maybe she would be in a better mood after seeing these things.

Although she is wary of Mrs. Xie, she is Xie Erlang's mother and Sister Wan'er's mother-in-law, so she should do a little bit of responsibility.

Although you can't calm down in the morning and dusk, you can try to find a way to make her happy and recuperate the other party's body better.

Early in the morning, after sending Lin Yubin out of the door and watching her go to the school, Lin Qingwan went to invite Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie had just finished offering incense to the Bodhisattva, and when she saw Lin Qingwan, she was stunned, "So early?" ”

"Mother, let's go see people drying wheat, and when we come back, we will make a detour to the mountains and get some cold spring water down, I learned how to make glutinous rice balls with the cook at home, and I will make them for you to eat."

Mrs. Xie couldn't help but smile when she saw Lin Qingwan's smiling face, "You can actually cook?" I still remember that the first time you cooked was to make soup for Erlang, but you almost burned the kitchen, and we didn't dare to mention letting you cook again. ”

Lin Qingwan knew about this, Sister Wan said, she pursed her lips and said: "It has nothing to do with me, it's that firewood is too dry, so I just plugged it and shot it all out with a 'bang', which scared me to death at that time." ”

Mrs. Xie couldn't help laughing, "Don't talk about you, it's just that we were all startled, Erlang was so frightened that he jumped off the hospital bed, ran to the kitchen barefoot, and shouted that he didn't dare to get sick anymore, and he didn't dare to drink Wushen soup anymore." ”

Mama Yang saw that the perennial gloomy look on Madame's face gradually dispersed, and she was overjoyed, and hurriedly went into the house and took a hat and came out, "Madam, everything is ready, let's go." ”

Mrs. Xie looked down at the homely clothes on her body, frowned, and said, "Why don't you change your clothes?" ”

"No, we just walked around the village, and there were farmers who came and went, and there were not so many exquisite." When you change your clothes, you have to put on makeup, and then the sun starts to heat up.

She didn't want to bask in the sun at eight or nine o'clock anymore, didn't she see Mrs. Xie say she was dark?

The sun had just jumped over the top of the hill, but it had slowly become warm, and the dew on the ground had dried up, and the peasants began to spread out the wheat they had beaten to dry before they had eaten breakfast, and when the sun was hot, they could go into the house for breakfast.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law slowly walked on the smooth road with a group of people, and all the farmers they saw bowed down to greet them, and then turned around and began to get busy.

Mrs. Xie's anxious mood slowly calmed down, listening to the crisp sound of birds, some naughty children picked up stones and threw them into the rice fields that began to turn yellow, and then there was a hula sound, which startled a dozen birds.

When the adults saw these birds, they were half angry, and hurriedly shouted to the eldest children of the family to go and chase the birds, so that they would not eat all the rice and wheat.

Mrs. Xie saw a group of children running into the fields with wooden sticks, laughing loudly as they ran, and their little faces were full of joy, as if they were not at all sorrowful.

Mrs. Xie stopped and looked at them in a daze, her expression slowly softening.

Lin Qingwan breathed a long sigh of relief, and the corners of her mouth turned slightly to look at the group of children.
