Rui Xue sent Zhao Fengnian back to the front yard, called Sister Caiyun Caiyue, and said with a smile, "The shops in the city are very busy these days, and you have learned your skills well, go and help and come back in the first half of the month." ”

Caiyun Caiyue glanced at each other, she was a little apprehensive in her heart, her eyes were red, Caiyun was fine, she couldn't bear to say it, but Caiyue said directly, "Madam, do you dislike me and my sister for being stupid?" ”

What is this, Rui Xue was puzzled, and put down the teacup in her hand, "You are usually smart and well-behaved, how can I dislike you for being stupid?" ”

Caiyue pouted, "My sister and I are Madame's personal maids, but Madame is driving us to the city now, she must be disgusted with us, Madame has Mama Gui to take care of..."

Rui Xue smiled bitterly, motioned for them to step forward, took their little hands, and said, "Mama Gui is a guest, there is always a time to go back to the waiting house, you are my personal maids, how can you say such nonsense, the foreign merchants who will collect mountain goods are coming soon, the shops in the city are really busy, our food is a secret recipe, send outsiders to go, I don't worry, only you are the most suitable." ”

When Sister Caiyun heard this, they immediately smiled, "Madame, don't say it, we all forgot, our family's food recipe is expensive, and it is really easy to be stolen when others go to help." ”

Rui Xue saw that they had figured it out, so she didn't say anything more, and said with a smile, "Go pick up your clothes, Amber will enter the city in a while, and you will follow him all the way." Snacks at home, pick up what your little brother can eat, and pack some for him. ”

"Yes, Mrs. Xie." Both sisters loved their brother very much, and when they heard the generosity of their wife, they were overjoyed, and they held hands and chatted about what to take, and then ran back to their room.

Rui Xue looked at their lively and agile figures, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it was absolutely right to send them away, although they had been sold in, life and death were up to her, and it was not too much to ask them to block the sword at a critical time, but how could she give up such a young and beautiful life? It's not that she's soft-hearted and hypocritical, it's just that she's not the soul of this time and space after all, and she can't treat the life of a slave as a mustard...

Three into the yard repaired for more than half a month, on the residence of Gui Mama and Cui'er, as well as Wu two or three, very spacious, how many years the old mama in the door of the mansion, the vision is very unique, but in the corner of the wall planted a bush, a few vines, a few pots of flowers on the steps, a few lanterns hung under the eaves, the whole yard has become much more elegant.

Rui Xue slowly walked along the road, while walking, while looking, couldn't help but nodded in admiration, if the old lady lived longer, I would have to ask her for advice or two, but unfortunately...

The old lady is old, her body is not good, and she often feels tired, so Ruixue doesn't need her to serve her for a while, so she put a chair in the shadow of the eaves and courtyard wall, closes her eyes and rests, hears the footsteps, opens her eyes and sees that it is her own lady, and quickly gets up and lets her sit down, frowning and saying, "Caiyun Caiyue, these two girls, why did you come alone?" ”

Rui Xue walked for a moment, her forehead was already sweating, she smiled lightly, drank half a cup of warm tea, took the old grandmother's hand, and said with a smile, "Mama, you take care of me all day, but you feel tired?" ”

The old lady hurriedly waved her hand, "What did the young lady say, although the old slave said that he was old, he still wanted to serve the little lady and the little boy when they grew up." ”

Rui Xue didn't speak again, still smiling lightly, how could someone as smart as the old lady not understand the reason why she suddenly came to the courtyard three times, but she talked countless gossips and always pretended not to understand.

Rui Xue was helpless, and sighed in the end, "Mama, there is no feast in the world, now that your body has recovered, get ready, and go back to Houfu." When I give birth to a child, I will definitely visit my grandmother when I go out to play in the future. ”

The old mama's face darkened, and she took the initiative to reach out and shake Ruixue's hand, "Miss, it's not that Mama is cheeky here, Mama is... It's scared, Mama is old, maybe one day, I can't open my eyes anymore, the dowry left by Master Hou and Mrs. to Miss, the mansion, and Miss's life... Well, Mama didn't even hand it back to Miss. ”

Rui Xue was sad to hear it, but what she wanted to do, she didn't want to be shaken by a few words from the old grandmother, "Mama, my life is very peaceful now, I don't want to get involved in the original things again, money and wealth are all external things, if you abandon them all, you can change me for a lifetime without worry, I believe that the spirit of Lord Hou and Mrs. in the sky will definitely agree." Also, although I forgot the past, but when I was in exile, I was very embarrassed, and things must be complicated, and I can't even get justice, rather than being in a dilemma at that time, it is better to act as if the previous Miss Houfu has died, they ask for their money, I live my life, the two have nothing to do, and Mama should not force me. ”

The old lady looked at her own lady in such a light tone, spoke in an orderly manner, and suddenly seemed to see Mrs., it was like this back then, Mrs. sat and drank tea, took care of the housework, safe and thoughtful, she stood next to listen to the instructions, but unfortunately, Mrs. couldn't see Miss grow up, see Miss like this...

"Miss, leave your grandmother by your side to support the elderly, okay? Mama can't leave Miss and go back by herself. ”

Rui Xue sighed, "Mama, go back, then the Houfu will give it to you for the elderly, and I will definitely visit you in the future." ”

The old lady still refused to give up, "Miss, then stay with the grandmother for another half a month, and wait until I teach the chestnut cake and sweet bean porridge you like to eat to Caiyun Caiyue, and then Grandma will leave." ”

Rui Xue really has a headache, the old mother is dedicated to her, and she can't viciously push her out, but how to persuade can't make sense, "Mama, Caiyun Caiyue I sent to the city shop to help, not at home, you write down the recipe, and wait for them to come back and do it two more times..."

"They are Miss's personal maids, how can they all go into the city, let's go again, there will be no one around Miss to serve, Miss... Hey? The old lady is worthy of being a character who has been immersed in the door of the mansion for many years, and immediately felt that something was wrong, so she took Ruixue's hand tightly and asked, "Miss, you tell Mama the truth, is there something big in the family?" ”

"Mama," Rui Xue didn't expect the old mama to be so shrewd, and she was persuaded to dry her mouth just now, so she lost her patience, "There are some small troubles at home, but they have been arranged, and there will be no danger, but Mama is old, and I am afraid that there will be no one to take care of it when the time comes." So, I want to send Mama back to Houfu..."

"No, no."

The old lady's head shook like a rattle, "Miss is in danger, how can I leave Miss and walk away..."

"Mama, since you still treat me as your young lady, why don't you listen to my orders! Pick up the salute and go now! Rui Xue pretended to be a wicked person, glaring and frowning and scolding the old lady, and a person jumped out of the cold, and Po Tong knelt on the ground and said, "Miss, don't worry, with Wu Er here, no one can hurt Miss." ”

The old lady was afraid that Rui Xue would force her out, and seeing Wu Er like this, it was like seeing a savior, so she immediately patted Wu Er on the shoulder and said loudly, "Miss, Wu Er is the personal guard next to the major general, and his kung fu is excellent, he will definitely be able to protect Miss, Miss will stay with us for a while, even if this matter is over, we will leave immediately!" ”

"No, Mama, you and Xiao Cui'er don't know kung fu..."Before Rui Xue finished speaking, Wu Er seemed to be a little annoyed because he was despised, got up and took a few steps to a thick laurel tree by the courtyard wall, and he didn't see how lucky he was, so he simply slapped his palm on the body of the tree, and the laurel tree clicked and broke into two.

Rui Xue opened her mouth slightly in surprise, she only felt that this Wu Er didn't like to talk much, and his personality was wooden, but she didn't expect that her skills would be so powerful.

The laurel tree fell down and smashed into the cover tile at the head of the wall, and it fell down with a bang, and the sound was very loud, Zhao Fengnian and Amber soon heard the sound and looked for it, and they frowned when they saw this, but after listening to Ruixue's explanation, they were more happy, after all, at such a time, with a powerful helper, the certainty of victory is greater.

The old lady saw the opportunity and said, "Miss is inconvenient, how can there be no one around to take care of her, send Xiao Cui'er to the city, I will stay with Miss, in the past, Hou Ye had great achievements, and the people of the Southern Barbarians did not go to the house to assassinate, I accompanied Mrs." ”

Her words had already come to this point, Rui Xue naturally didn't want to stop her anymore, and when she looked up, she saw that Zhao Fengnian and An Bo were both nodding, so she also responded.

Wu Er stood aside respectfully with his head down, his fists clenched, trembling slightly, as if he was excited and happy to get the trust of the master's family, but whether this was the case or not, no one knows.

Soon, Amber and Mr. Yan, with three ignorant little girls, got into the carriage and kicked into the city.

Ruixue tossed for a long time, her stomach was very empty, she drank two bowls of millet porridge in one go, ate a piece of egg cake, and estimated that Sister-in-law Zhang should come back from the dock, so she made an excuse to help prepare the banquet and asked Yingzi to find Sister-in-law Zhang.

It just so happened that the business of the dock shop was good today, and she collected more than one or two pieces of silver, so Sister-in-law Zhang happily took the money bag over, Rui Xue didn't count it, smiled and opened the cash box and threw it in, kept the account, and took her arm, went to the stove together, washed vegetables, cut meat, and discussed the dishes for the evening, and the old mother guessed that they had something to say, so she took a few clothes, went to the well to do laundry, and gave them a place.

Sister-in-law Zhang is a talkative person, and has a good relationship with Rui Xue, and does not shy away from anything, hearing Rui Xue ask about the birthday of the old man of the Zhang family, he complained, "Old man, now it is a little old and confused, in the past, our family had a hard life, he always had to scold a few times when he saw the child's father, and now we are better, it stands to reason that he should be happy, but the result is still lamenting all day long, at first I thought he was complaining that we gave less pension money, so he was ruthless, and added an extra hundred Wen every month."

I never thought that yesterday he called the child's father to speak, and when I came back, I felt weird, and asked a few more words, only then did I know what the old man had the idea, he wanted to be rich! ”
