Steward Zhou was not given for nothing, and he was ordered to begin to perform the duties of the temporary chief steward.

Hui Lan continued to do Harpy for a few days, and was taken back to the Guogong Mansion on time on the eighth day of the new year, without any delay at all.

Mrs. Li hadn't seen her niece for more than half a month, and it was rare to hold her hand, "Oh, I've lost weight, haven't you eaten well, good boy, you have been wronged." ”

Hui Lan smiled and glanced at the meat nest in her hand, feeling that she couldn't answer. It is said that stones should be thinner in summer, but she doesn't feel it at all.

It is said that she only goes out in the morning and evening in the summer, and stays in the room the rest of the time. There are ice basins, fruits, ice bowls, iced sour plum soup, ...... in the room, you don't have to go out to eat, and it is more comfortable than an air-conditioned room.

Three meals a day plus fruit snacks and supper, half of which was not affected by the weather. Not to mention losing weight, Hui Lan felt that her tonnage had skyrocketed.

Fortunately, she didn't have to answer.

"The old lady in the family misses you all down, Xiao Qinian has been talking about it several times. You weren't with me before, and I didn't realize it. As soon as she left, my aunt was left to eat alone. My heart is full of thoughts, and I think of you. Mrs. Li continued to tell her thoughts.

Seeing that her aunt was more haggard than before, Hui Lan was also distressed, "Auntie, don't worry, I'm the biggest in the family, how can I be hungry." Even if I really lost weight, I thought about my aunt.

My aunt is really thin, is it too hot to eat? Then eat more refreshing vegetables and fruits. ”

Mrs. Li smiled contentedly, "This kid, why is he so good at talking." Don't hide it from me, if you have any difficulties, you must say it. My aunt came to have a bitter summer, and it was hot every year. ”

Hui Lan nodded, both concerned and curious, and asked, "Is Mrs. Tai's birthday lively?" ”

Mrs. Li saved up a lot of words, and was talking about Xingtou, "There are many peers here, but it's a pity that you are not here, otherwise you will definitely make many friends." ”

Hui Lan laughed dryly, that wasn't necessarily.

"Mrs. Tai's mother's house, your aunt's mother's house, and the two aunts and grandmothers must come. There are also many old in-laws, colleagues in robes, and juniors who have brought. Nearly 50 tables were opened, and it was lively all day, and there were birthday gifts on the second and third days. "Mrs. Li thought that her niece liked to be lively, and she said it in detail." People close to you all ask about you, and when they hear the old lady say that you are filial and go home to worship your father, they all praise you. Several relatives and elders have brought you table gifts, and I can't put them away for you. You'll have to thank you when you see you later. There is also Grandpa Guo, who gave Mrs. Tai a birthday gift, and also brought you a table gift. ”

Huilan heard that her aunt had missed the old lady's mother's house, and she felt strange. But he still nodded while listening, sometimes surprised and sometimes shy, "When I am filial, I will definitely kowtow to the elders." ”

Her niece was valued, and Mrs. Li was of course extremely happy. After talking with great interest for a long time, he drank a few sips of water and took a breath, "I asked Mother Wang to keep it for you, and then take a look when you go back." ”

Hui Lan smiled and nodded and didn't speak, her aunt spent so much saliva in one breath, don't ask her to talk yet, recuperate. So the two sat down and drank tea without mentioning it, and Huilan told Qingguo to go back to Wang's mother and ask her to send things over.

In the middle of the night, Wang's mother came over with a box. Hui Lan took it and let her go back.

"Thanks to my aunt's thoughtfulness for me, otherwise I wouldn't know how to bother to give my grandfather's house." Hui Lan sincerely thanks.

Mrs. Li said angrily, "Look at what you said, who will my aunt help you with?" That is, you are still young now, and when you divide the yard, I will definitely take care of everything, and you will toss it yourself. ”

After a pause, he said, "Those in the capital can also start to deliver, and I have already prepared the things." It's just that...... It was Steward Li who was sent to Chang'an, right? ”

Hui Lan nodded, "Uncle Li is a proper person. "The big head suffers, and the small head doesn't have to shirk. Hui Lan did not pretend to excuse herself, and acquiesced in her aunt's help to prepare for the festival.

Mrs. Li nodded, "It is indeed a loyal and capable person, then I will send someone to deliver these ones on your behalf." Chang'an is so far away, Steward Li will only arrive at this estimate, and it is too late to designate. There are not a few capable people left on your side, and you can't let the rough ones send them. ”

"Aunt rest assured, the former son Uncle Zhou has already taken care of Zhuangzi's side and entered the city, and now the family is his temporary housekeeper. Everywhere is appropriate, and the Boxing Rite can be sent by him. Hui Lan said with a smile. After all, it is a relative of the Li family, so it is appropriate for the Li family to send it.

"Well, I forgot about him, he's also a good man. He and Steward Li are the people your father used, loyal and capable, you have to take care of them. Mrs. Li was still worried about her niece's young age, so she couldn't help but tell her.

Seeing that Huilan obediently responded, Mrs. Li was also relieved. I asked about the harvest and the daily life of the family, and the aunt and nephew talked about the daily routine for a long time.

Seeing that the hour was approaching, Mrs. Li really wanted to send her niece back. Only then did Hui Lan look at the empty matter, "Auntie, don't say that I am young, you have to worry about everything from the gift list to the purchase of things." When I'm older, at most I can set a gift list or something, and I have to trouble my aunt to buy things. Our aunts and nephews treat me and my daughter no differently. I won't see my aunt anymore, and I'll entrust you with the future rituals and everything, and I'll honor you when I'm older. But I can't let you contribute and break the bank, then I'm too cheeky. Although our Li family is not a Bofu anymore, it is not really a broken household, don't you say? I haven't seen you, and you don't want to see me. As he spoke, he held the box and handed it to his aunt.

Mrs. Li listened to her niece say a lot of words, and was stunned for a moment before she covered her lips and smiled, "It's amazing, you can say such things in one go, it's really grown." ”

As he spoke, he took the box and put it on the table, pulling Huilan to sit beside her. Huilan also accepted it, and was pleasantly surprised that things went well, and happily let her aunt do it.

Mrs. Li's words were very refreshing, "You, is it possible that I am the wronged leader?" Our Li family has never taken advantage of love, but we have never been wronged. ”

Eh, Huilan black line, aunt, you don't need to be so black, I don't think so.

"Don't worry, I can still underestimate my own mother's family. Your father has already arranged for you, and he has left you money with me. is not for food, or for the Li family's personal exchanges, receiving and sending gifts. Mrs. Li didn't stumble and poured out in a fit of anger.

Strange Landing petrified, isn't it? How much money does the Li family have, Dad, you are a spy, a cunning rabbit. Depending on the situation, Uncle Li, they don't know anything at all.
