Huilan left the courtyard and called Uncle Li at the door to come in. She was picked up by two maids waiting outside the courtyard and escorted back to her room.

It wasn't until she entered the room that she was helped to sit on a chair by taking off her cloak and shoes. She was like a wandering ghost, and then someone wiped her face with a hot handkerchief and came back to life. She turned her head blankly and saw the aunt from before—

- It must be that Mother Wang has taken the box from her hand and put it on the chair next to her, and is wiping her hands, "Young lady must be hungry, let them set the food."

I saw her waving her hand, and four maids came in carrying food boxes. One after another, they walked quietly to the table with lowered eyebrows. They also placed half of the table with food and drink, and then filed out again.

.Looking at the unknown side dishes, snacks and drinks on the table, Huilan felt that her chest was stuffed and she was not hungry at all.

Mother Wang was very proactive, standing next to her and giving her some snacks and vegetables, "The girl is still young and her body is weak, but she must take good care of herself and eat on time, so as not to get sick again and worry the master!"

Huilan paused. Yes, this little girl's health is already gone. Her father would be so sad if he knew. This little body doesn't look strong. She just walked a few steps in the room.

She was short of breath. If she didn't eat on time, she might really get sick. Her father was so sick, wouldn't it make people feel uneasy if she got sick again? Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and started to eat. Mother Wang hurriedly felt relieved.

Feeding her... well... it's so embarrassing. Unfortunately, she is just a little bean with a three-headed body. She probably can't even use chopsticks, so she can only accept it happily.

After finally finishing breakfast that I couldn't take care of myself, I walked half a circle in the ancient lady's room, which was almost the size of a badminton court, to relieve my appetite (maybe it was because of my short legs), and was hugged and sat back on the bed.

Lan smoothly held the box given by her father in her arms and placed it on the bed.

Mother Wang was very considerate to the little girl and advised her to take off her coat and lie down to rest. Huilan blinked and felt that she was not very sleepy yet, "Good mother, I'm not sleepy yet, just sit there for a while, my mother said to me

Talk." In order to find out more about the situation, Huilan shamefully decided to be cute and shook Mama Wang's hand while talking.

Mother Wang smiled fondly, took a pillow and put it behind her, and pulled the quilt to cover her legs. She was brought a cup of fruit tea and served her until she was comfortable before sitting down by the bed, "Girl.

Mom is listening to what you want to say."

Huilan felt a little more at ease. She was so attentive and caring to an orphan who was about to lose his father. She thought he was a trustworthy person. She thought of the father and sighed with red eyes, "Father, he..."

Mother Wang stopped laughing immediately, and couldn't help but have red eyes, "Good girl, don't be afraid. I am a Wenquxing, the only second-class Jinshi in the martial arts. If it is true... then it is God who has allowed him to return to his position.

You don't dare to be too sad and hurt your body, making the master... feel uneasy." After a pause, she added, "The master is a very smart person. He sent a letter to the girl's maternal grandfather's house five days ago. Although Guanzhong

Yanjing is thousands of miles away, and the old man is getting older, but the two uncles are worried about the late old lady Ding at home, and they will definitely come after receiving the letter. It may be that the snow has not fallen yet this winter, so the road will not be difficult.

The master will be here soon. My aunt also sends people to visit her from time to time. In the morning, the master has sent people to deliver letters to my aunt, and several elders in the clan have also sent letters."

The meaning of these words couldn't be more clear. The two of them held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes. Huilan could only nod. Fortunately, Huilan had already gotten a lot of information from these few words.

After they calmed down, drank water and chatted some more, they saw a teenage maid coming in to report that the master had sent someone something. Huilan guessed that it was something her father had mentioned before, and Mother Wang asked her to put it away.

Outside, I then packed it up for her and went out to see it.

In the center of the spacious room, she saw four red wooden boxes that were as high as her neck. The boxes were only wrapped at the corners without any decoration. The three male servants who delivered the items had not left yet and were standing by the door with their heads lowered.

The box that was delivered was completely different from the previous wooden box. It must have been divided into high and low places. They all bowed and saluted when they saw Huilan. Before Huilan could react, they had already stood up straight. The leader was

The manservant, who was in his twenties and thirties, was dressed differently from the two behind him. He stood upright, lowered his head and said to Huilan: "This is what the master told the girl. The master said that besides him, there is only a girl in our house."

I still know a thing or two about these books and scrolls, so I gave them to the girl. I hope the girl will use them wisely and not miss these good things. The girl is still young, so there is no need to worry. Please remember to take care of it, Mrs. Wang.

"

Hearing this, Huilan nodded. It seems that this father is really a strange flower in this family of military generals. He is tired of martial arts and Xiwen. He has told her before and told her again. It seems that he really loves these things. Mother Wang transferred

He squatted down in one direction and saluted, "When you return to the master, I will remember it and will definitely help the girl put it away." Huilan's eyelids moved, indicating that she had learned the etiquette of women.

Then Mother Wang led her to open the boxes one by one. There were two boxes of scrolls, one box of thread-bound books, and one box of boxes of different sizes. They opened the authentic Four Treasures of the Study. Huilan secretly sighed, even if she didn't recognize them, she still knew them.

These are all cultural relics. How can a semi-illiterate person like her get these good treasures with culture and connotation? She will have to study hard in the future, otherwise she will feel guilty looking at these treasures.

After she read it all, Mrs. Wang covered the boxes and told the male servant who led them to carry the boxes to the warm pavilion and put them away gently. The male servant responded and led the people to place everything.

He bowed to Huilan again and stepped back. Before leaving, Huilan caught a glimpse of the manservant and Mrs. Wang exchanging glances.

Mother Wang waved all the maids in the room to leave, and led Huilan back to the inner room. Her face was heavy, and Huilan didn't dare to speak, her face was wrinkled and she was thinking wildly. When she came to her senses, she was already sitting in her arms.

When she came to the bedside, Huilan said doubtfully, "Mom..."

Mother Wang sat on the footrest and said, "That's Cheng Shoucai. The girl has seen little of him, and Xiangbi doesn't know him. His grandfather, like the servant father-in-law, came down from the battlefield with the old uncle. His father is in charge of the family.

Zhuangzi, he has been the master's companion since he was a child. He was named after the master. He follows the master as a servant and is in charge of the external affairs of the house. They, father and son, are the people that the master can use, and they are the most loyal people."

Huilan nodded to express his acceptance. He was a capable and loyal servant, a right-hand man.

After chatting a few more words, Huilan opened her eyes. Mother Wang fed her half a glass of water, took her to the toilet, uh, the toilet solved the physical problem, and then she was put down to sleep.

There was something on her mind, so Huilan didn't sleep well. I don't know how long it took, but she vaguely heard someone shouting outside, and she woke up with a start. She sat up quickly, lifted the curtain and was about to get out of bed. As soon as she landed,

Then two little maids about ten years old ran in quickly. Seeing that she had already gotten up, they came over quickly, one helped her put on clothes, and the other helped her put on her shoes. The dresser comforted her, "Don't worry, girl, be careful of catching a cold."

"

"What's going on outside? What happened?" Huilan asked anxiously, feeling panicked.

"My aunt, my aunt, my second aunt, and my second lord are here. They are in my room. Housekeeper Li sent someone to send a message to ask the girl to come over immediately." The little maid who comforted her was very articulate, and Huilan was shocked by the few words she said.

, “Where’s Mother Wang?”

"I think Mother Wang is settling down the people who are coming in the front hall. She is in charge." This little girl is nice, not old, well-organized, and a talented person. After hurriedly packing up, Huilan was surrounded by a fat girl.

The middle-aged aunt held her firmly and walked out.

Halfway through, they met Mother Wang and another mother who were rushing over. The group of people rushed past Huilan.

Finally arriving at the place, Uncle Li and Cheng Youcai were guarding the door. When they saw her coming, they immediately opened the door to let her go.

After her feet landed on the ground, Huilan ignored the men, women, and children sitting on both sides of the bed, and rushed in to the bed. Looking at her father, who had been talking to her calmly a few hours ago, her face was completely pale now, and she couldn't even think about it.

She had no energy left to smile at her. Tears welled up in Huilan's eyes. Her legs were so weak that she almost fell to the ground. She felt someone holding her from behind and said, "Good Huier, don't cry." There was obvious emotion in her voice.

Crying tone.

With tears in her eyes, her father looked at her reluctantly, then looked behind her. He raised his finger and pointed at Huilan with difficulty. He opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound. He only stared at the place behind her with his glasses wide open.

The female voice who comforted her finally cried, "Don't worry, brother, Huier is my biological daughter."

Hearing this, his father seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his wide-open eyes slowly closed, and the raised hand fell back to the bed. There was no movement from the person on the bed. Huilan was stunned for a moment, shaking his hands and grabbing the eyes.

With her cold and skinny hands, she looked at his face again and finally burst into tears.

Huilan cried so hard that she forgot all about it. Her sadness and fear exploded at this moment, like the Yellow River flooding out of control, and she finally passed out from crying.
