Chapter 21: Love

When they entered Fushou Residence, they got off the bamboo sedan chair outside the courtyard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, a maid greeted her, saying that the old lady was talking to the Seventh Lady. was taken all the way into the second room of the old lady's living, and through the curtain, I heard the childish voice of the seventh lady and the laughter of the old lady.

"What did mother say to Xiao Qi, so happy." The maid opened the curtain, and Mrs. Li turned her head into the second room and asked with a smile.

"The second daughter-in-law is here, and there is a girl, come and sit down and eat some fruit." The old lady was in a good mood and beckoned them to sit.

Mrs. Li and her niece saluted the old lady and thanked her, and Mrs. Li took Huilan and sat down opposite the old lady.

"Second aunt Ann, cousin Ann." The Seventh Lady didn't stay, tilted her head at them respectively, and said a word.

Hui Lanxiao's eyes narrowed, she was too cute, she learned the tone of the seventh lady, "Little-seven-also-an." ”

The seventh lady blushed and buried her head in the old lady's arms.

The old lady smiled and patted her gently, "Good girl, come out quickly, your sister is playing with you." ”

"Seeing that you're five years old, how can you learn from a three-year-old child, you little pusher." Mrs. Li couldn't cry or laugh, and pointed to Hui Landao.

Hui Lan stuck out her tongue with a smile, got off the chair, ran to the couch in a few steps, and touched Qi Niangzi's small bag, "Little Qi is good, my sister likes you when she looks at you, do you like my sister?" ”

The Seventh Lady had already half-raised her head, and her round eyes looked at Huilan without blinking.

Seeing her, Hui Lan pretended to be cute and winked at her.

"Xiao Qi also likes my sister." It is estimated that she was shaken by Huilan, and the Seventh Lady couldn't help but respond.

Huilan was so overjoyed that she almost couldn't help kissing the little doll, but the Seventh Lady pushed her in fright, and the two children frolicked.

The old lady, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laughed and bent over.

Huilan gave full play to her only advantage in teasing the child, and finally coaxed the little doll to let her hold it.

"Hui'er is so likable, Xiao Qi is always afraid of being shy, I didn't expect to get acquainted with you so soon. That's fine, my brothers and sisters have to go to class, and the two of you are also companions. The old lady was very pleased.

"It's still Hui'er messing around, but I can play with Xiaoqi." Mrs. Li couldn't laugh. Trying to straighten his face, he pointed to Hui Landao, "I will be five years old by September, and I can't be lazy anymore." ”

The implication is that she has to go to class at the age of five, and Hui Lan is fortunate that she still has three months of probation, which is really a blessing in misfortune.

"Old lady, look at your aunt, you know to scare me, Hui'er is so scared, you have to save me!" Hui Lan hugged the old lady's arm and pretended to be pitiful.

Then she hugged Qi Niangzi again, "Xiao Qi, you see how pitiful my sister is." After speaking, he pretended to cry in the arms of the seventh lady.

The seventh lady is about to be three years old, where do you understand this, she looked at Hui Lan with a wrinkled face and then at Mrs. Li, very entangled.

The old lady couldn't laugh, so she let the maid rub her belly.

"You girl, pretend." Mrs. Li pointed at Huilan with a smile and a smile, not knowing what to say.

Huilan finally straightened up, laughed beautifully, stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, making the Seventh Lady laugh too.

Everyone laughed for a while, and finally calmed down.

The old lady wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and beckoned the maid to send the seventh lady to the fifth lady.

"It's time for your sister to get out of school, you go talk to her, loose and loose, and come back to dinner in the evening." The old lady confessed to the seventh lady.

The seventh lady was hugged down, and she was quite reluctant to leave Huilan.

"Old lady, this is a little bit of my granddaughter's heart, please smile." Huilan called Wang's mother in and served the tray.

The tray was picked up by the old mother beside the old lady, it was a box of blood swallows, a white jade Zhenwu Emperor.

Hui Lan heard that Mrs. Li of the Guogong Mansion believed in Buddhism, and the old lady loved it. Therefore, a statue of Zhenwu Emperor and a Maitreya Buddha of the same size and material were turned out from the warehouse, and one person gave one.

The old lady smiled and looked at it, and then let the old mother take it away.

"Is this your nurse? It's a little familiar. The old lady looked at Mother Wang and asked.

"It is Hui'er's nurse and the maid of the first mother's dowry. I think you've seen it. Hui Lan explained with a smile.

The old lady nodded, but still looked at Wang's mother a few more times.

"The old lady Rong Bing, the slave maid's name is Guixiang, she is the personal maid of the first lady, and she once came to the house with the lady to visit the old lady." Mother Wang bowed and explained with a smile.

"Yes, you've been here with Hui'er's mother. Well, you're a good one. Having served for two generations, it is a proper one. Hui'er has you by her side, which is also reassuring. The old lady suddenly realized, smiled and praised Mother Wang.

Wang's mother didn't dare to say anything, saying that loyalty is the main thing, and it is a matter of duty.

The old lady's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were satisfied with what they heard, and praised her again before letting her withdraw.

"Good boy, our two families are good friends. Your father was also raised by me, and he is no different from my own children and nephews. If he is old, we martial artists will not have to rely on him to steer the helm. Alas! The old lady looked at Huilan lovingly and couldn't help but sigh.

This sigh made Huilan also look angry.

The old lady quickly adjusted, hugged Huilan and helped her straighten her hair, "Good boy, don't be sad, it's the old woman who is confused." ”

Seeing that Huilan nodded, she smiled again, "Your father has been smart and open-minded since he was a child, and your mother is also a beautiful man. Being smart is innate, and you don't have to force it. Open-mindedness is a rare and valuable character that everyone should learn. You are their only blood, and you must learn your father's open-mindedness. They have spirits in heaven, and the only thing they hope for is that you are healthy, safe, happy, and don't let them down. ”

The old lady Yin Yin advised, and Hui Lan accepted her sadness, and solemnly agreed with a smile.

Mrs. Li nodded again and again in attendance, pleased.

The old lady was also full of relief, "Okay, don't be restrained when you live here in the future, let alone see outside." The old woman opened the middle door today, and let the juniors go out in plain clothes to welcome you, not only to give you the dignity of Xiangcheng Bofu, but also to make a face for you. Good boy, don't suffer yourself! ”

Greeted with such a cherished welcome, from the master to the servant in the house, where could not see the old lady's love for her. Those visible, intangible, and indifferent beyond my aunt's ability will be at least eighty percent slighted.

Even outside the mansion will not be ignorant, the value of the first martial artist of Great Qin will win back a lot of respect for her.

Xiao Huilan may not understand such kindness, but she can't live to a dog at the same age as an adult. She can't help but be grateful, she can't help but be moved.

"Grandmother rest assured, grandchildren understand that they will not disappoint their parents, you and your aunt with their wholehearted love." Huilan knew that it would be too angry to call the old lady again, and it would also make the old lady sad.

The old lady looked surprised, and nodded with satisfaction, "Good boy, what a smart child." ”

After all, she is an adult, and Hui Lan shouted neatly. After shouting, I felt embarrassed, and I always felt that I had climbed into a wealth by virtue of the pity of others, and hugged a big thick leg. It's okay to call it in private, but it's embarrassing to be in front of others.

The old lady is old and fine, where can she not see Huilan's careful thoughts, and the tears of laughter are about to come out, "What a twisted little girl, this person, the most important thing is to be happy and comfortable." In the future, you can call your grandmother if you want, or call the old lady, just don't call the old lady. ”

Hui Lan smiled embarrassedly, grateful to the considerate old lady, and nodded again and again.

After a while, the old man and the young man got tired of it, and then listened to Mrs. Li say, "Look at my mother, I sit here for a long time and ignore me." Now I only hurt Hui'er, not my little daughter-in-law, I'm a superfluous! ”

Huilan looked at her coquettish aunt and smiled like a stealing cat, "Grandmother, smell it, the vinegar jar has been overturned." ”

Mrs. Li was embarrassed when she heard this, and threatened to beat her.

The old lady couldn't laugh, and hurriedly stopped her daughter-in-law, "Okay, my son, mother loves you." Don't play with the kids, I'm asking you something! ”

Mrs. Li gave up stupidly, and Hui Lan smiled at her flatteringly, in exchange for a delicate white eye.

"How many people did Hui'er bring, is there enough service around you?" The old lady couldn't help but smile and asked her daughter-in-law.

"I brought a second-class girl, her nurse's daughter, and four little girls. I thought about giving her the green fruits around me, and I have been serving for a few months, and I am familiar with them. Mrs. Li took the joke and said honestly.

The old lady nodded, "Qingguo is good, just give it to the girl." If the little girl is lacking, talk to your sister-in-law at night, and Ming'er will make up for it. There is also a second-class one, I have a narcissus here, and the needlework is good, so let's give it to the girl. I'll pick four more nurturing mothers here, and it's complete. ”

Hui Lan smiled and continued, "Thank you, grandmother." "It is a tradition for elders to give people, and having a girl by the side of an old lady by her side is also a guarantee for her, and of course she gladly accepts it.

"In the future, Hui'er's food and clothing will depend on you, you have to have snacks!" The old lady played the daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Li smiled, "Don't worry, mother, you can't be hungry and can't freeze your good granddaughter." ”

All three laughed for a moment.
