Chapter 6 The Joy of Heaven

Shaohua failed to take a nap in the end, and even scribbled his chopsticks for lunch, so he had no appetite. It's not because Cui's mother stopped her, but because she was panicked.

She felt aggrieved at the thought that she had finally come back to life and be married at will. But no one came up with a definite result of this matter, and it was not easy for her to defend it. She could only silently pretend to be deaf and dumb as an outsider.

Since she came to Li's house, sitting in a daze at the window every day has become something she must do.

In the past, because she was unhappy and didn't want to speak, Ling felt sorry for her and couldn't worry about the little maid to serve her, so she let Cui's mother next to take care of Shaohua. Nowadays, Shaohua can not only walk on the ground, but also be willing to speak. Although he is still a little awkward, it is still much better than before. After lunch, Cui's mother asked Shaohua for leave and went out. Before leaving, she had to go to Xiyuan to say good afternoon, so after serving Shaohua's meal, Cui's mother hurriedly left.

Without Cui's mother's nagging in her ear, Shaohua suddenly became a little unaccustomed and suddenly heard the knocking outside the yard.

"Go and see what's going on outside?" The little maid took the order and soon ran back to her life.

"In the words of the fifth lady, the stewman's mother said that she would pick up the house for the little lady of the Liu family and move in tomorrow to live with the wife."

"Where does she live?" Shaohua's understanding of the direction of the Li family was blank.

The little maid pointed to the west side of the window and said, "It's next door. To the east is the small courtyard where the three women live. Just turn left and cross a fence wall when you go out of our courtyard. Fifth Lady, you are not happy and should not move the earth, so the fence wall has not been removed, and it looks far away. Turn right at the gate of the courtyard and go around the Guanfeng Pavilion and Zhaodou Vine Flower Road, which is where the wife of the Liu family wants to live. Fifth Lady, if you feel comfortable, we can go out for a walk. Now the bean vines in Biwuxuan are all full of flowers, and several flower paths are covered with vines, hanging upside down. They are all kinds of colors, which are beautiful.

Without permission, the little maid can't leave the courtyard without permission, so she is particularly interested in Biwuxuan's most distinctive flower path. Although the name is Biwuxuan, compared with the vines that spread all over the flower gallery in spring, the sycamore looks lonely.

"What about the seven women?" Shaohua thought of the aggressive little lady in the morning and thought that her foot should be enough to hurt her for two or three days.

Unexpectedly, the little maid curled her lips and looked a little disapproving. "The seventh lady lives further west, across the outer wall, and used to be Aunt Su's Huansiyuan." Yu Guang saw Shaohua and saw her lack of interest, so he suggested, "Five Lady, why don't I play with you?"

"No, you go ahead." The main reason is that she doesn't understand.

When he thought that the days in the future would be so dull, Shaohua suddenly fainted, and he was dizzy and accidentally fell asleep. When she woke up, Cui's mother was looking at her hopelessly. She rubbed her eyes and looked out. The sky was already yellow, and she didn't know when it was.

"It's so late. Why didn't anyone wake me up?" Shaohua smiled.

Cui's mother sighed and did not answer. She twisted a wet veil for her and rubed Shaohua's face. "Since you are in good spirits, you will also learn from the third wife and the seventh lady from tomorrow, and you have to learn many rules."

"Ji Xue..." Shaohua remembered that he was forced to learn etiquette by the mother in the palace before he got married in his last life, and suddenly had a cold war.

Before Cui's mother could explain to Shaohua what a boudoir was, someone immediately came to send a message that the second master would leave dinner in the second lady's room tonight, and if Shaohua had nothing to do, he would go and eat with his parents.

When Cui's mother heard this, her face immediately smiled and quickly responded. She turned around and began to dress up Shaohua.

"Mother Cui, I'm just going to have dinner with my mother and father. I don't have to change my clothes." Shaohua looked at his dress and thought that the only advantage of this skirt was that it was not easy to be found by kicking people.

"Five ladies, you can't say that. How long has it been since the second master left dinner in his wife's room? This is a great opportunity. At that time, you and the third lady will perform well in front of the second master. Maybe he will not run to Huansiyuan in the future. Cui's mother is from Ling's family, and she just wants to grasp Li Xunzhuo's heart for Ling's family.

Shaohua did not argue again, although she didn't think that the two sisters could grab Li Xunzhuo's heart for Ling.

When she arrived at Xiyuan, Wanhua had already sat down in the house and accompanied Ling's joke. She came forward to salute Ling's mother and daughter, "My daughter is late. I hope you will forgive me."

"Get up, silly girl, you don't have to look out like this." Ling is talking about happy things with Wanhua and doesn't mind Shaohua's late arrival. Anyway, she is not the latest one.

"Mom, why don't you let Wu Niang go to study with me tomorrow? She is thirteen years old this year. I'm afraid it will be too late if she doesn't learn." Wanhua blinked at her.

Cui's mother was busy answering, "What the third lady said was that the fifth lady just asked about my daughter's study. The third lady was guiding her, thinking that the fifth lady must learn faster."

Shaohua only felt that his scalp was numb. He looked up at Ling's very appreciative appearance and said, "Listen to your mother's arrangement."

"Okay, someone from Xuyuan just said that Yan Sui will move to Biwuxuan to live with you in a few days, and I'm afraid she will go to school with you at that time. Although Yan Sui is the wife of the Liu family, she is also a sister-in-law. It is necessary to get along well. When Ling spoke, her eyes were on Shaohua, so she had to nod and agree.

As soon as he heard the name Yan Sui, Shaohua couldn't help thinking about Liu Li's marriage and couldn't get close to her.

Wanhua came over excitedly and bit Shaohua's ear. "You'll be fine. In the future, you can teach that ignorant girl a lesson."

Jinhua is three years younger than Wanhua. Although Wanhua, who claims to be the eldest granddaughter of the Li family, hates Jinhua for flattering and selling well in front of her husband, he is not willing to have the same experience with her. When Jinhua is anxious about her, Jinhua will go to find Li Xunzhuo to cry. Wanhua knew that as long as she did not behave well in front of her father, her father would naturally not be close to his mother. So in order to win her father to a greater extent, she also put up with Jinhua's private hands.

But today she suddenly found that Shaohua, who had been resistant to disgust, turned out to be the nemesis of Jinhua, and the enemy of the enemy was my friend, and she was also her own sister. Wanhua greeted Shaohua very enthusiastically to stand on his united front. Anyway, Su is just a concubine no matter how favored he is, and he only has one daughter. They have three siblings here.

Shaohua looked bitterly and whispered, "The third sister is very kind to my sister. Keep it for me to be a bad person." Unexpectedly, he wanted to kill people with a knife.

Wan Hua was a little embarrassed and muttered, "It's different. I'm a sister and you're a sister. You are about the same age as Qi Niang. It's normal to have a quarrel. At that time, she can come out as the eldest sister to uphold justice. No matter whether Shaohua is a loser or not, Jinhua will not have any advantage.

Thinking about this, it's a pity why Shaohua couldn't return home earlier and was suppressed by a little concubine for so many years.

"Look, how good the relationship between Sanniang and Wu Niang is. I'm afraid that their sisters haven't seen each other for many years and make trouble." Ling was very happy to see the two little sisters mysteriously talking together.

Cui's mother also narrowed her eyes with a smile, "That's, after all, she is a direct sister. Even if she hasn't seen each other for ten or eight years, she will be more intimate than others."

Shaohua turned around and laughed at the wishful thinking of Ling and Cui's mother. She was not intimate with Wanhua, but just stood on the united front for the time being. She originally wanted to be gentle with Jinhua, but as soon as she appeared, she gave her a line, which forced her to draw a clear line. Suddenly, she was extremely fortunate that she was a child of the Ling family. If she changed her identity with Jinhua, I'm afraid this day will be even more sad.

"Come on, call Wenxiang and Xixiang." Ling ordered that in a short time, two little girls of Shaohua's age knelt on the ground tremblingly. Ling pointed to the two maids on the ground and said, "Wuniang, these two girls are up to you. They were taught by Cui's mother herself. If there is anything in the future, just tell them."

"What about Mother Cui?" Shaohua asked.

"I, an old bone, respect the five ladies, but I can't serve them for a long time. These two will follow you to Langjun's house in the future." Cui's mother was moved by Shaohua's words, and it was in vain that she had taken care of her so hard recently.

Shaohua is a little frustrated. After all, the person she is most familiar with at present is Cui's mother.

"Wuniang, give them a name. They will be your girls in the future." Ling laughed.

This made Shaohua a little embarrassed, "The original name is quite good." Why do you have to change your name?

Wanhua beside him was not happy and pretended to be the eldest sister and said to Shaohua, "They have passed through the hospital, that is, they have changed their masters, and you have changed their names, which is a gift to them." Pointing to the two beautiful girls waiting next to her, she said, "These are my two girls, one is called Shuyu and the other is called Han Zhang. The two maids of Qi Niang are Yi Liu and Wen Lan. You can also give them a name.

Shaohua didn't expect it to be so troublesome. Her former maids, one named Dabao, the other named Xiaobao, and the other named Baoer. Originally, I wanted to continue using it, but when I heard Wanhua say the name of her and Jinhua's maid, Shaohua immediately stopped.

"Why don't you call Chu He and Youhan? What do you think of the fifth sister?" With a clear voice, Ling immediately got up to greet him and saw a ten-year-old boy steadily stepping into the house. His face is tender, but he deliberately pretends to be a young man, wearing a blue gold-bared round robe and a brown round-headed baby hat on his head. Originally, his face was serious. When he saw Ling get up, he suddenly pulled away his lovely smile and ran to Ling with open hands. Mother, are you doing well today? Do you miss me?"

"You are so shy, and you are so coquettish with your mother. Why don't you salute your two sisters?" Ling showed an extremely warm love for her son.

"Two sisters, Simo is very polite." Li Balang, who was only ten years old, made Wanhua laugh happily and chased him to twist his face. Li Simo was shocked and shouted hurriedly, "Five sister, help me! Look at the face where I named your maid, help me."

Shaohua was also made to cry and laugh by him, so he had to pull him over and protect him behind him. Wanhua ignored him. Li Simo was agile, but naughty. Wanhua refused to lose face to his eldest sister and shouted that he wanted to catch him. Shaohua, who was trapped in the middle, was a little dizzy, and the scene suddenly turned into an eagle to catch a chicken. Ling and Cui's mother both leaned forward and backward with laughter, and even the maids next to them covered their mouths and smiled secretly.

"What's so lively!" The male owner's loud voice stopped a farce. Li Simo immediately ran from behind Shaohua to Li Xunzhuo as if he had seen a savior. Hachiro, what bad things have you done? Look at your sister's anger.

Shaohua turned his head and saw the man's loving smiling face. Li Simo was eight points similar to him. His eyebrows were as thick as ink, flying into his temples, his facial features were smooth, and he looked like a very talkative person.

Li Simo listened to his father's words and flattened his mouth and complained, "No, it's just that I named the fifth sister's maid. The third sister was jealous and played with me."

Li Xunzhuo heard the words, looked at the maid on the ground, and then looked at Shaohua, "Is Wu Niang well?"

"Father is worried that his daughter is fine." Shaohua's cleverness was immediately praised by Li Xunzhuo, and Ling was also a little excited when he looked at it.

"Since you are your fifth sister's maid, why are you scrambling to name?" Li Xunzhuo turned his eyes back to Li Simo, who was his only son and naturally spoiled him very much.

Li Simo said seriously, "I'm relieving the siege of the five sisters. Besides, today's husband just taught me to learn Ailian's Talk, which is: 'Lotus, out of the mud but not stained, wash the ripples but not demons, straight from the outside, and not branches.' I borrowed flowers to present the Buddha and gave them to the fifth sister to express my respect for the fifth sister. Li Simo's words were immediately laughed by everyone. He was still not happy and raised his chin high.

"I think you just want to show off your knowledge." Ling is very happy today. Her children are well-behaved and her husband is gentle. She hasn't had such a family reunion for a long time.

Cui's mother knew the look and quickly let people cook. Such a warm atmosphere may make people eat more bowls.

Seeing that everyone was sitting still, Li Xunzhuo picked up his chopsticks and suddenly paused, "Why don't you call Qi Niang over for dinner?" Su is a concubine, and she can't come to the table, but Qi Niang is at least half a master.

Ling's face stiffened, and Wanhua hurriedly said, "This morning, Qi Niang asked Ann to have a scratch on the way back. A Niang asked the doctor to come, and the doctor said it was fine. Dad, please rest assured. He has told Mother Chen to take good care of her. He was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to walk, so he dared not call her to eat. Wanhua's words were very skillful. They were not only polite and considerate, but also showed the virtuous and considerate side of the Ling family, which made Li Xunzhuo couldn't help looking at Ling's family a few more.

"Daddy will stay in the mother's room tonight?" Li Simo also took the opportunity to ask, "I also want to recite to my father. In addition, the fifth sister also has something to say to my father."

"Oh? What does Wu Niang want to say to me? Li Xunzhuo looked at Shaohua doubtfully.

Shaohua couldn't wait to kick Wanhua and Simo's sister and brother and dig a hole for her. But in the face of Li Xunzhuo's curiosity, Ling's worries and Wanhua's sincere eyes, Shaohua sighed gently and said gently, "My daughter has not been in front of her mother and father since she was a child, and she has many fewer opportunities to serve than her sister and brother..." Shaohua spoke slowly and tried to find an excuse to prevaricate.

But in Ling's eyes, she became wronged. She immediately came over and hugged her and said with tears in her eyes, "My good daughter, it's enough for you to have this heart."

"Well, take good care of yourself, and there will be more opportunities in the future." Li Xunzhuo's words brightened everyone's eyes, which implied that he would come to Ling's house in the future.

Ling's hand holding Shaohua tightened as soon as he was excited.
