In a flash of light, she suddenly remembered that her grandmother had an old house, which seemed to be just to the south.

Liu Luoying leaned on the eldest sister's shoulder affectionately: "Sister, my grandmother told me in a dream last night that she was worried about the body in the old house, and knew that it was not easy for us to be in troubled times now, so she specially asked me to tell Sister A, and you can take it with you when you encounter difficulties when you flee." ”

Liu Qingqing rubbed the hand on her back, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes: "Ying'er, have you heard it really, did grandmother really say that?" The third uncle went to the old mansion several times, but he didn't find anything......"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Qingqing consciously lost her words. On weekdays, my father and mother are busy with housework, and I have no time to take care of this little sister, so Luo Ying has been fostered under the old lady's knee since she was a child, and the whole house belongs to her and the old lady.

Now that the third master coveted the relics of the old lady on the table, she was afraid that her sister would not be able to stand it.

But Liu Luoying didn't hear it, still flashing her big apricot eyes, holding her sister's arm and refusing to let go: "Sister, I miss my grandmother, let's go back to the old house to say goodbye to my grandmother, okay?" ”

Liu Qingqing was made to cry and laugh by her sister's splattering jokes, seeing that she looked like a monkey who went to the room to uncover the tiles, she couldn't hold back after all, she laughed out loud, bent her white fingers and gently scratched the tip of her nose, half reproached and half spoiled sighed: "You! ”

The two sisters made a mess in the room, but the eldest girl came in with Xia in her arms, which interrupted the conversation between the two.

Hugging Xia saw Liu Luoying wake up, overjoyed, hurriedly held a warm brass hand warmer into her hand, and took a pillow to cushion the back of her neck, and then said happily: "The imperial doctor estimated that it would take some time for the girl to wake up, but I never thought that the girl was healthy, and she woke up today, and the girl will be blessed in the future." ”

Liu Luoying drank the medicine with Xia's service, and raised her eyebrows when she heard the words.

Bao Xia is the maid assigned by her mother to serve her, in her previous life, because she listened to the provocation of the third aunt, she separated from her parents, and she didn't even like Bao Xia.

But she clearly remembered that in her previous life, she hugged Xia Zhong to protect the lord, and she worked hard to be an old girl for a lifetime to protect her and follow her into the palace. As a result, in an assassination at the behest of Qin Guifei, she fed the enemy with her body, which saved her life.

Looking at the familiar voice and appearance, as if in a different world, Liu Luoying shed a few tears in a daze.

Liu Qingqing thought that she missed her grandmother, so she hurriedly relieved: "Ying'er relax and obediently drink the medicine here." When did Sister promise you not to do it? Sister will go to discuss with her father and uncle, and set off for the ancestral house tomorrow. ”

When Liu Luoying heard this, where could she still sit still, she drank the medicine, and followed her sister to the hall.

It has not yet reached the beginning of winter, but the weather is getting colder and colder.

In the hall, the once magnificent red carved wood decoration, countless blue and white porcelain vases have all been sold out, and even the silver charcoal used for heating in winter is now unburnable.

The two sisters bypassed the screen and saw everyone in the clan sitting in front of the only remaining black lacquered square table, with different expressions.

The Liu family has three rooms, Liu Luoying's father Liu Chengan is the son-in-law of the long house, and then her second and third uncles.

Liu Chen Ganzi inherited his father's business, took over his grandfather's shop, and operated in Beijing.

Sanbo Liu Chenguang is idle on weekdays, but he does some small business under his father.

On the contrary, the second uncle Liu Chenxuan took the official career, and now he is a six-grade promoter in the capital.

Although they separated after the death of the old lady, the situation is unstable now, and they get together to take care of each other.

Now Liu Chengan is sitting upright, seeing her weak and squeamish appearance, her eyebrows are furrowed, and she can't help but reprimand: "Ying'er, you see what you have been pampered all day long, and now that the army is in chaos, who has the extra heart to take care of you!" ”

Liu Luoying sighed secretly in her heart.

Her father has always disliked her, not only because he was weak since childhood, but also because of the abnormal fetal position when her mother gave birth to her, and died of dystocia. For so many years, her father has always picked her nose and eyes, which is not pleasing to the eye.

The third aunt took the opportunity to echo: "Ying'er, you don't know how expensive tea, rice, oil, and salt are not at home!" These days, the soldiers are in trouble, the rice and noodles at home are almost unable to open the pot, and your daily share of medicinal materials is unknown. ”

Liu Luoying, who was taken out and reprimanded at the beginning of her recovery from a serious illness, was very innocent. She clearly remembered that her medicinal herbs and the expenses in the house were still the same as her father's.

Liu Qingqing felt sorry for her sister, "The third aunt is not in a hurry, there is a way to spend money in the house now." ”

Seeing that the concubine of the long house opened her mouth, the third aunt An Shi lifted her eyelids and said stupidly: "What can you do?" ”

Liu Qingqing hesitated for a moment, but finally announced her grandmother's dream. It's just that the name of Liu Luoying is hidden, and if something goes wrong in the future, it can't be blamed on my sister.

As soon as they heard that the old lady still had a body in the old mansion, everyone had different thoughts.

The third room was the most breathless, and the third aunt immediately shouted, "Then what are you waiting for, I'll go to the old house tomorrow!" ”

Liu Chengan's thick eyebrows tightened, and he reprimanded: "What ......kind of family is it to support the family with my mother's body?"

"Big brother, if you don't take that share, what will you use to support this big family?" Third Uncle Liu Chenguang slowly spoke, squinting at Liu Luoying, "Big brother doesn't want to see the Liu clan break the inheritance in our generation, right?" ”

"......" Liu Chengan was silent after all.

The matter of going to the old house was thus decided, and each house went back to its own courtyard to pack up the things for tomorrow's trip.

Back in Xuezhi Courtyard, Liu Luoying breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly instructed Hug Xia and Fudong to help pack their bags, while she opened the secret compartment where she usually stored herself, took out a stack of silver bills, and instructed Yingchun: "You take all these to exchange for cash, and then go to the hospital to buy some ointments to prevent headaches and brain fever on weekdays, but there is only one point, and you need to prepare a few more bottles of anti-wind and cold pills." ”

Yingchun is only afraid of her own lady's illness every once in a while, and she wants to grab a few more pairs of medicines in case of emergency.

Only Liu Luoying knows that although there are many states and counties in the south, and the water and grass are abundant, there are also many displaced people.

Once the Jin soldiers outside the pass were opened, a large number of displaced people poured into the south, coupled with the cold winter that had not been encountered in a century, countless displaced people died only due to the infection of wind and cold.

She can't stop natural and man-made disasters, the only thing she can do is to take advantage of the peace in the world and prepare more medicines to defend herself.

Liu Luoying arranged them one by one, and the maids in Xuezhi Courtyard who had lost their backbone because they were about to fall and leave were all gathered in an orderly manner.

And she was not idle at the moment, she counted the maids and grandmothers in the courtyard, and among them were willing to set off with the master's family to the south tomorrow, and those who had their own places to go, she was not embarrassed, returned the deed of sale, and let them leave on their own.

Outside the hospital, Mama Sun looked at her young and old appearance, felt relieved, and smiled at Liu Qingqing beside her: "Madame can be regarded as relieved this time, you can see that the second lady arranged it is more thoughtful than we thought." ”

"Yes." Liu Qingqing sighed, looking at her sister's busy petite back, her eyes were full of pity.

In the end, the children who have not been loved by their parents since they were children are always much more mature and sensible than other children.
