Chapter 27: Mingzhi

The hall suddenly became empty, and Hui Lan got off her chair and came to Mrs. Li's side, "Auntie, what time is it?" ”

Although the leaky pot is on the side of the hall, she still can't understand it for the time being, covering her face!

"Ghost girl, I can't even look at the leaky pot, I'm still too lazy." Mrs. Li pinched Hui Lan's little nose.

Hui Lan smiled, "Did Liulang live with his aunt?" ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Li glanced at her, "You little girl, don't be too heavy-minded, don't live because of other people's words?" Mrs. Li waved her hand, and the mothers and maids who were waiting in the hall all withdrew, and Mama Wang also went out.

"Since I entered the door, I haven't seen Mrs. Tai a few times. Her old man is really cold-hearted, at most on Chinese New Year's Eve, she will meet her two grandchildren, and at most she will see her great-grandchildren. Don't talk about the old lady, the sister-in-law and me, even the eldest girl and sister don't treat each other very well," Mrs. Li said in a low voice.

Hui Lan didn't dare to make a sound, and listened to the gossip quietly.

"So from the old lady down, we all hurt a few more girls. Even if Lang Jun is a top household, aren't the girls their own flesh and blood, so favoritism. Mrs. Li complained.

Hui Lan nodded clearly, there are many patriarchs, but it is a bit too much to think that Mrs. Tai is like this.

"So, Mrs. Tai, we naturally have to be respected. But looking at her actions, you know that she is a fool. On weekdays, there is no shortage of etiquette, but there is no need to wronged yourself for a word. After Mrs. Li finished speaking, her eyes were full of distress.

My aunt immediately guessed what she meant by avoiding suspicion. Instead of misunderstanding that she wanted to take the opportunity to get close to the heir of the Zhenguo Mansion in order to seek a good marriage for herself. Such wholehearted trust and sincere care, even at the expense of exposing the elders. Huilan's heart softened into a puddle of water, and she was moved.

She buried her head in her aunt's arms affectionately, "Auntie, don't worry, Hui'er is not a person who loves a lot of hearts, and she is not contemptuous." I just don't like trouble, I'm just lazy to bother. I just want to be a casual person, and the less things I bother to do, the better. Eat and drink well every day, be happy, be less angry and bother, and live a long life easily. ”

Mrs. Li's face was still a little dignified, but she was amused in the end. After thinking about it again, I felt that what she said made sense, and I was happy again, "You girl, you are only so old, why do you have some Taoist meaning of quiet and inaction." That's fine, this person, everything is nothing, only his own body is fundamental. ”

After a pause, he said, "That's fine, your father has been very smart since he was a child, and he is known as Qilin'er." How do you know that it is really in response to the sentence that Huiji will be hurt, and if you beat a child, you will be sick and weak. Thousands of maintenance, all kinds of thoughtfulness, but still died young. ”

The aunt and nephew sighed in unison, and Mrs. Li was amused, "What are you sighing for a little girl, you are not allowed to study." ”

Hui Lan laughed and responded.

Mrs. Li hugged her and continued, "It's good that you eat and sleep like this, and think less. In this way, you can be healthy, safe, happy and happy, and I think your father and mother are looking forward to it too. ”

Hui Lan nodded, her father did confess this before he died. She has long made up her mind that she will live like this in this life. Adhere to the principle of being happy and knowing your fate, being happy, worrying less, not doing much, strictly adhering to the concept of eating and drinking in the world, and strive to live to ninety-nine.

The aunt and nephew talked for a while, and then they got back to business.

"Because my sister-in-law was nearly thirty years old when she gave birth to Rokuro, it was a little difficult to give birth. Although the mother and son were safe in the end, they still hurt their bodies in the end. That's why I asked a brother and daughter-in-law of mine to help take care of the housework, and entrusted Rokuro to the old lady to take care of it. After all these years of conditioning, I slowly became healthy. It's just that the family affairs are complicated and laborious, and Rokuro is used to living with his grandmother again, so he didn't move him out. I only went to have lunch with my mother and sister every day, and when it came to the day of the Langjun ladies and sisters, they would rest in Taizheng Courtyard for one night. There were two girls to take care of during the day, and the old lady was not uneasy. ”

Hui Lan nodded, pondered for a while, and decided to go to meet at the beginning of the afternoon. It happened that the eldest lady was tired all morning, so she said a few words and said goodbye early to let her rest.

"It's already the beginning of the year now, and those in charge will come over in a while." Mrs. Li still told her the time.

Hui Lan smiled and straightened up, "Then my aunt will rest for a while and wait for the steward to come." I'll go back and get some stuff and go over to see my aunt at noon. ”

Mrs. Li pointed at her in disgust, but she didn't make fun of her, and happily let her go.

Huilan saluted obediently, and then went out of the main hall and went back to her small courtyard with Wang's mother.

The gifts to the masters of the Guogong Mansion have been prepared a long time ago, and the things for the eldest lady and aunt are almost the same, all of which are a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets, a horse of silk and a horse of Shu brocade.

Everything was stored in the storeroom, and now it is the willow bud tube storehouse, so she took Narcissus to get things.

Qingguo reported that the four little girls had settled down temporarily, and how to assign them had to wait for Huilan to speak.

Hui Lan drank two glasses of water from a cup, and she was so busy early in the morning that she didn't bother to drink water, and she was thirsty to death.

Putting down the cup, he sighed comfortably.

didn't care about settling the girls first, time was pressing, and Huilan was going to visit the elders. This is a political task that must not be compromised.

waved his hand, explained what Qingguo had in his hand in advance, and went to the eldest lady's yard with her.

Qingguo received the order, and at this time, the willow buds and they had returned. Huilan and Wang's mother Qingguo took another look at the prepared things together, and after being correct, they let Qingguo hold the things and set off to Tai'an Hall.

Before leaving, he explained that the black girl and the fat girl would be third-class, and live in the pearl room. The other two are rough envoys, living with Bai Yu.

When I arrived at the main courtyard, there were already housekeepers and mothers coming and going. Huilan didn't go in, and asked the mother-in-law guarding the courtyard door to pass the bamboo sedan chair as usual.

According to the time, Qing'an Hall and Tai'an Hall are not far away. Zhao Huilan estimated that it took less than half the time to reach Shou'an Hall. Excluding the speed difference of the mother carrying the bamboo sedan chair, the distance can be estimated.

Tai'an Hall and Qing'an Hall are engaged in relay races, and they are busy here and there. Qing'an Hall is full of people, and Tai'an Hall is clear and quiet.

The size of the two courtyards is not of the same magnitude, and the area occupied here is more than half. Coupled with the regulated architecture that Hui Lan couldn't understand and the relatively dark colors and regular servants, there was a lot more majesty and majesty.

After Huilan landed, the mother-in-law carrying the bamboo sedan chair stood quietly in the corner outside the gate, without a sound. Hui Lan was led in with a light smile by the mother-in-law guarding the door, and she felt that the steps of the three of them were much lighter.

The subordinates of the entire courtyard all smiled and restrained, walked in a regular manner, and did not take one more step.

Huilan was invited into the east room, and the eldest lady was half-lying on the kang, looking a little tired. As soon as he saw her, he asked her to come over, held hands and asked many questions.

Hui Lan smiled and answered them one by one, and took the opportunity to say what she meant.

The eldest lady praised her for a long time, and after praising her, she praised the bracelet and the fabric for being good. As he spoke, he took off the sapphire bracelet on his hand, put the mutton fat jade bracelet on his hand, and praised a few more words.

She really deserves to be a duchess and a top lady. Hui Lan sighed to herself, and she didn't know how to answer.

With a red face, he was repeatedly modest, and then hurriedly resigned. only said that the eldest aunt worked hard, and she came to see Yunyun another day.

The eldest lady estimated that she was really tired, so she let her go after a few more words. If Hui Lan was amnesty, she immediately slipped away.

She was still too young to be familiar with or coping. Huilan made up her mind that she couldn't come alone in the future, she couldn't cope with it!
