The next day, Wang and Li Mingmei chatted all morning, and Li Mingmei happily came out of the main courtyard to find Zhao Yunlan.

"Sister-in-law, I really like you so much?" Li Mingmei hugged Zhao Yunlan's arm and rubbed it.

Zhao Yunlan felt a little inexplicable: "What good things have I done to make you scarce me?" ”

Li Mingmei was amused by Zhao Yunlan's expression: "Sister-in-law, you are making fun of me again." Didn't you tell your mother yesterday that I followed Mama Cui to learn the rules! ”

Speaking of this, Li Mingmei leaned into Zhao Yunlan's ear and whispered: "Today, my mother went to me and admitted her mistake to me, saying that she was anxious during this time, so she was a lot stricter with me. Hey! My mother also said that in the future, I will study with Mama Cui every three days, and the rest of the time will be arranged by myself. ”

Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingmei's happy appearance, and couldn't help but be happy for her, but just said: "I didn't say anything to my mother, this is my mother figured it out herself." ”

Li Mingmei: "I don't care, you are my good sister-in-law, well~ my mother is also my good mother-in-law." ”

Zhao Yunlan patted Li Mingmei's forehead: "You are a ghost!" ”

Li Mingmei said: "Sister-in-law, I'm going to take Xia Xiang to the soap shop to collect soap today, I'll go first!" ”

Zhao Yunlan waved her hand: "Go!" ”

After a few days of adaptation, Zhao Yunlan left Chunxiang by her side, Dongxiang followed Wang's side, and Xia Xiang followed Li Mingmei.

"Mama Cui!" As soon as Li Mingmei left, Mama Cui came out of the main courtyard and came over to the east courtyard.

"Young lady!" Mama Cui responded.

"It's been hard these days, Mama Cui!" Zhao Yunlan wanted to express Mama Cui's careful teaching to Li Mingmei in the past few days.

"Young lady, this is what a slave should do!"

Zhao Yunlan saw that Mama Cui didn't want to say more, so she changed the topic and said, "How has Li Zhongyou been in the past few days?" ”

"Back to the eldest young lady, Li Zhongyou has done a good job in the past few days, he got up early in the morning, and after sweeping the ground in the front yard, he called those boys to get up and practice martial arts, and after practicing martial arts, he arranged the affairs of the family, and followed the third young master to do work in the field, helping the third young master to supervise the work of those workers, if the third young master is okay, Li Zhongyou will help the master weave bamboo together."

Zhao Yunlan was surprised: "He still has this skill?" ”

Cui Mama smiled: "I learned from the master, and I can get started after only half a day." ”

……

In the afternoon, Li Mingren and Li Mingzhi returned home together, and after the two went to the main courtyard to meet Wang and Old Man Li, they went to the east courtyard.

Li Mingren walked and found that Li Mingming was still following him, and asked puzzledly: "You go back to your own yard!" What are you doing with me? ”

"Hey, who followed you, you can't just take this road, and you can't just go to the East Courtyard?" Li Mingming strode forward, not wanting to deal with Li Mingren.

"Then what are you doing in the East Courtyard?"

Li Mingzhi thought to himself, but he was hungry and wanted to ask Zhao Yunlan to cook something delicious at night, but he said, "Guess! ”

"I didn't bother to guess with you, don't bother us as a couple!" Li Mingren walked in front with a snort.

"Hmph~" Li Mingming is now full of childishness, and he has to walk in front of Li Mingren, with a posture that he is bound to say the first sentence to Zhao Yunlan first.

Li Mingren was amused by Li Mingming's appearance, and walked behind and muttered: "What an unenlightened hairy boy." ”

The brothers entered the east courtyard one after the other, "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother and I are back." Sure enough, Li Mingming was the first to speak.

"Lady, I'm back!" Not to be outdone, Li Mingren was not to be outdone.

There was only a gust of spring breeze in response to the two......

Zhao Yunlan took Mama Cui and Chunxiang to the soap shop after lunch. Because the Li family didn't see Li Mingmei come back when they had lunch, Zhao Yunlan sent Li Zhongyou to the side of the mountain to take a look, but only to know that there was a problem at the soap shop. Zhao Yunlan quickly ate a few bites of food and went to the mountain, and when she went, she didn't forget to pack it for Li Mingmei and bring it over.

On the top of the mountain, Li Mingmei had just finished inspecting every room in the workshop, as well as the raw materials.

"Little sister, how's it going?" As soon as Zhao Yunlan came, she saw Li Mingmei frowning.

"Sister-in-law, there is no problem with these lard and plant ash, and I have also checked the room here for no abnormality." Li Mingmei said in a somewhat depressed mood.

Zhao Yunlan: "Little sister, you and Xia Xiang have dinner first, it's okay, I'll see if there are any problems I haven't found!" ”

Li Mingmei didn't have an appetite at the moment, but Zhao Yunlan shook her head again and again, and Li Mingmei had to open the food box obediently.

Zhao Yunlan: "Mama Cui, you first find an empty room and call everyone in." Haruka, you come with me to check again. ”

The three of them acted separately, and after looking for a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yunlan didn't find anything abnormal, and when she was about to go out, a mouse suddenly burst out, which frightened Zhao Yunlan and jumped to her feet, knocking over a bucket of precipitated grass and ash water next to her. Just when Zhao Yunlan was about to bend down to pick up the wooden barrel, she found that the bottom residue of this bucket of grass and wood ash was a little different, as if it was mixed with something else.

Zhao Yunlan called Chunxiang to put the ashes of the grass and wood in the barrel and put it in front of everyone.

"Mama Cui, have all the people come in?" Zhao Yunlan asked.

"Yes, the slave called all the people outside in, and asked Xia Xiang to look for it, but there was no one outside." Mama Cui responded.

Zhao Yunlan nodded, watching Li Mingmei walking towards her, there was still more than half of the rice left in the bowl, so she didn't force it anymore.

"Little sister, is there a roster that you wrote before?" Zhao Yunlan asked.

Li Mingmei nodded: "Well, I wrote two copies, one at home and one here, I'll take them out!" ”

Li Mingmei went to another room and took out a roster, which not only recorded the payroll received by everyone.

"Sister-in-law, here you go!" Li Mingmei brought the roster.

Zhao Yunlan instructed Xia Xiang: "Mama Cui, let's name it!" You hear the name shout 'to'."

Cui Mama took the roster: "Liu Meihua, Zhao Caixia, Zhang Lan......" A total of twelve people were ordered, and Ding Fengying was missing.

"Why isn't Ding Fengying here?" Zhao Yunlan asked.

Liu Meihua said: "Feng Ying took leave with me yesterday and went home, his child was sick, and the family couldn't take care of it. I've already told Mingmei about this, and Mingmei agreed. "In terms of generation, Zhao Yunlan has to call Aunt Liu Meihua. At that time, I also watched Liu Meihua work carefully and cheerfully, so Zhao Yunlan asked Liu Meihua to be the 'team leader', usually when Li Mingmei and Zhao Yunlan were not there, Liu Meihua was responsible for managing this group of people and supervising everyone's work.

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "This is what I just discovered, let's take a look at what's in this bucket!" ”

Liu Meihua stepped forward to probe, Chunxiang took a wooden stick and stirred the sediment in the bucket, "Oh, what is this!" Who threw it in? ”

Li Mingmei was also surprised: "Sister-in-law? It's ......"

Zhao Yunlan: "I'm not sure, but it looks like there's dirt in it?" As he spoke, his gaze swept over to the workers seated.

These aunts and aunts suddenly quarreled, "Hey, Yunlan, you know the aunt, where would I do these things?" "One by one, they rushed to clear up this matter.

Zhao Yunlan was a little troubled by the noise, so she had to say, "Let's be quiet first!" ”

…… After being quiet for a second, he began to shout again to make Zhao Yunlan believe in himself.

"Shut up!" Mama Cui scolded, and suddenly fell silent, and Zhao Yunlan looked at Mama Cui with an expression of 'it has to be you'.
