Chapter 21 Love is heavy

It was just midnight when we entered Fushou Residence, and the aunt and nephew got off the bamboo sedan outside the courtyard.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, a maid came out and said that the old lady was talking to the Seventh Lady. She was taken all the way into the second room of the old lady's living room. Through the curtain, she could hear the Seventh Lady's childlike voice and the old lady's laughter.

"What are you talking about, mother and Xiao Qi? They are so happy." The maid opened the curtain, and Mrs. Li turned her head and entered the second room, asking with a smile.

"The second daughter-in-law is here, as well as Hui Yatou. Come sit down and have some fruit." The old lady was in a good mood and asked them to sit down.

Mrs. Li and her niece bowed to the old lady and thanked her. Mrs. Li and Hui Lan sat down opposite the old lady.

"Second aunt, greeting, cousin." The seventh lady didn't stay down, she tilted her head at each of them and said every word.

Hui Lan's eyes narrowed when she smiled. It was so cute. She imitated the tone of the Seventh Lady, "Xiao Qi Ye 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."

"You are already five years old, how can you learn from a three-year-old child, you little narrow-minded kid." Mrs. Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, pointing at Hui Lan.

Hui Lan stuck out her tongue with a smile, got off the chair, ran to the couch in a few steps, touched the seventh lady's little bag, "Xiao Qi, my sister likes you when she looks at you. Do you like my sister?"

The Seventh Lady had half raised her head and looked at Hui Lan without blinking with her round eyes.

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

"Xiao Qi also likes my sister." She was probably swayed by Hui Lan, so Qi Niang couldn't help but respond.

Huilan was so happy that she almost couldn't help but want to kiss the baby. The seventh lady was so frightened that she pushed her, and the two children started playing.

It made the old lady, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laugh so hard that they bent over.

Hui Lan took advantage of her only advantage of teasing children and tried her best to coax the little baby into a hug. The two children talked to each other in childish words.

"Hui'er is so lovable. Xiao Qi is always shy and timid. I didn't expect to get to know you so quickly. It's good, since my brothers and sisters have to go to class, so you two can be companions." The old lady was very pleased.

"Hui'er is still fooling around, but she and Xiao Qi can play together." Mrs. Li couldn't help laughing. She tried to keep a straight face, pointed at Hui Lan and said, "I will be five years old in September, and I can't be lazy anymore.

"

The implication is that you have to go to school at the age of five. Hui Lan is lucky that she still has three months of probation, which is really a blessing among misfortunes.

"Old madam, look at my aunt, she knows how to scare me. Hui'er is so scared, please save me!" Huilan held the old madam's arm and pretended to be pitiful.

Then she hugged Qi Niangzi again and said, "Xiao Qi, look how pitiful your sister is." After that, she pretended to cry in Qi Niangzi's arms.

The seventh lady was only about three years old, how could she understand this? She frowned and looked at Hui Lan and then at Mrs. Li, extremely confused.

The old lady laughed so hard that she asked the maid to rub her belly.

"You girl, you are just pretending." Mrs. Li pointed at Hui Lan with a dumbfounded expression, not knowing what to say.

Huilan finally straightened up and smiled brightly. She stuck out her tongue and made faces, making the Seventh Lady also laugh.

Everyone laughed for a while and finally calmed down.

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

"It's time for your sister to finish school. Go and talk to her in a casual way. Come back for dinner in the evening." The old lady told the Seventh Lady.

The Seventh Lady was carried down, and she was quite reluctant to leave Huilan before leaving.

"Old madam, this is my granddaughter's kindness. Please accept it." Huilan called Mrs. Wang in and presented a tray.

The tray was taken over by the old mother beside the old lady. It contained a box of blood swallows and a white jade statue of the Zhenwu Emperor.

Huilan found out that the wife in the Duke's mansion believed in Buddhism and loved Taoism. So she dug out a Zhenwu Emperor and a Maitreya Buddha of the same size and material from the warehouse, and it happened to be a gift to each person.

The old lady looked at it with a smile and let her take it away.

"Is this your wet nurse? She looks vaguely familiar." The old lady looked at Mother Wang and asked.

"She is Hui'er's wet nurse, and also the first mother's dowry maid. She is a personal servant. I think you have seen her before." Hui Lan explained with a smile.

The old lady nodded and looked at Mother Wang again.

"Old Madam Rong Bing, my maid's name is Guixiang. She is the late madam's personal maid. I once came to the house with my madam to pay homage to the old madam." Mother Wang bowed and explained with a smile.

"Yes, you came here with Hui'er's mother. Well, you are a good person. You have served two generations, so you are a good person. Hui'er has you by his side, which makes people feel at ease." The old lady suddenly realized it and praised with a smile.

Praise the king’s mother.

Mother Wang didn't even dare to say anything, saying that loyalty is the main thing and it's her job.

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

"Good boy, our two families are very good friends. I have watched your father grow up, and he is no different from my own nephew. If he lives for a long time, we military heroes will not have to rely on him to steer the ship. Alas!

"The old lady looked at Hui Lan lovingly and couldn't help but sigh.

This sigh made Hui Lan also look sad.

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

Seeing Huilan nodding, she smiled and said, "Your father has been smart and open-minded since he was a child, and your mother is also smart and smart. They are a perfect match. Intelligence is innate, there is no need to force it. Open-mindedness is a rare quality for everyone.

You should all learn from them. You are their only flesh and blood, so you must learn from your father's open-mindedness. They have souls in heaven, and the only thing they hope for is that you are healthy, safe and happy. Don't let them down."

The old lady urged her earnestly, and Huilan put aside her sadness and solemnly agreed with a smile.

Mrs. Li nodded repeatedly as she listened, feeling very pleased.

The old lady was also full of joy, "Okay, don't be restrained when you live here in the future, and don't see anyone outside. The old lady opened the middle door today and asked the younger generation to come out in plain clothes. This is not only to give your Xiangcheng uncle's house dignity, but also to give you a good job."

Face. Good boy, please don’t make yourself miserable!”

With such a cherished welcome, no one in the house, from the master to the servants, could see the old lady's love for her. At least 80% of the tangible and intangible slights and contempt that were beyond the aunt's ability would be blocked.

Even people outside the palace will not know anything about it. The respect of the number one martial artist in the Qin Dynasty will win her back a lot of respect.

Xiao Huilan may not understand such kindness, but as an adult, she cannot live like a dog for as long as she is young. She cannot but be grateful and touched.

"Grandma, don't worry. My grandson understands that he will not let down his parents, you and his aunt's wholehearted love and care." Huilan knew that calling her the old lady would be too harsh and would make the old lady sad.

The old lady looked surprised and nodded happily, "Good boy, he is such a smart boy."

After all, she was an adult, so Huilan shouted crisply and neatly. After shouting, she felt embarrassed. She always felt that she had climbed into wealth through other people's pity and hugged her thick legs. It was okay to scream in private, but in front of others.

How embarrassing.

The old lady is so mature that she can't see Huilan's little thoughts. She almost bursts into tears when she laughs. "What a weird little girl. The most important thing for this person is to be free and happy. From now on, you can call me grandma if you want."

, it’s okay to call her old lady, just don’t call her old lady.”

Huilan smiled sheepishly and nodded repeatedly with great gratitude to the considerate old lady.

The old man and the young child felt tired for a while, and then they heard Mrs. Li say, "Look, mother, you've been sitting here for a long time and ignored me. Now you only care for Hui'er, not your little daughter-in-law. I'm superfluous!"

Huilan looked at her coquettish aunt and smiled like a cat that steals fish, "Grandma, if you smell this, your jealousy will be overturned."

Mrs. Li was ashamed and angry when she heard this, and planned to beat her.

The old lady couldn't stop laughing and hurriedly stopped her daughter-in-law, "Okay, my son, mother loves you. Stop playing with the children. I have something to ask you!"

Mrs. Li then gave up in frustration, and Hui Lan smiled at her in a flattering manner, earning a cute roll of her eyes.

"How many people have Hui'er brought? Do you have enough people to serve you?" the old lady asked her daughter-in-law, holding back her laughter.

"I brought a second-class nurse, her nanny's daughter, and four little girls. I thought about it and gave her the green fruit beside me. I have been serving her for several months and she is familiar with it." Mrs. Li stopped joking.

, said honestly.

The old lady nodded, "The green fruit is good, let's give it to Hui Yatou. If the little girl is missing, tell your sister-in-law tonight and it will be filled tomorrow. There is also a second-class one. I have a narcissus here, a needlework

That’s right, just give it to Hui Yatou. I’ll pick four more parenting mothers here, and that will be enough.”

Huilan then smiled and said, "Thank you, grandma." It is tradition for elders to give gifts to people, and having a girl beside the old lady by her side is also a guarantee for her, so of course she accepts it happily.

"From now on, Hui'er's food and clothing will depend on you, so you have to get some snacks!" the old lady said to her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Li laughed and said, "Don't worry, mother, your good granddaughter won't be hungry or cold."
