By Jia Xiuzhen

Mortals don't understand the things of gods.

Li Wan was sitting and eating with Jia Lan at this time, so he didn't know that someone here was already suspicious about Long Yi.Two mortals sitting on Baoshan praised the deliciousness of the noodle soup in the bowl, "Fish and sheep are fresh, fish and sheep are fresh, it is true that Cangjie did not create characters by mistake."

"The cooking skills have also become more and more exquisite. The soup is well-cooked and the taste is forced out. It's a bit of a trick."

Suyun said in a low voice at the side: "Grandma praises the cook, it's better to praise the money." Yan Mama was packing Jia Lan's school things, when Jia Lan saw Yan Mama took a leather bag, He hurriedly said: "Nurse, I don't need that for school, so put it away first. In a few days, my husband will take me out of the academy for two days, and I will use it at that time."

Yan Momo stopped her hands when she heard this, and took out the things that were put in, and used another bag, saying: "Brother now knows how to cherish material resources, but it's so rare."

Biyue took the leather bag and held it in her hand for a closer look, enviously said: "Master Lin is such a big official, even the girl and mother she sent here are so powerful, how did you come up with it, and make it out of leather?" The bag looks solid, and the shape is so neat, how come I didn't think of how neat the stitches are?" He said, tsk-tsk.

When Li Wan stopped chopsticks and Suyun and the others were waiting to rinse their mouths, Bi Yue couldn't help but glance at the leather bag.

Jia Lan was about to go out in a hurry, Li Wan stretched out his hand to hold him back and said, "Wait, what did you just say that you will go to the academy for two days in a few days? Where did this word come from? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Jia Lan hurriedly said: "Two days ago, Mr. sent someone to tell me, and he was going to tell mother."

Li Wan squinted his eyes and smiled: "Really, why did I hear Fang Gao and Tuanzi say that they would go out for a few days to practice?"

Jia Lan secretly scolded the traitor in his heart, and smiled hard on his face: "Hey, those two useless boys can't even speak clearly. Isn't going to the academy just to go out, and the academy isn't in our house..." Seeing Li Wan squint his eyes, he hurriedly stopped talking.

Yan Momo came in from the outside and said, "What are you waiting for, bro, hurry up, Second Master Bao is going to school today, if it's delayed, there will be another disturbance."

As if being pardoned, Jia Lan quickly saluted Li Wan and said, "Mother, I'm going to school first."

Li Wan also let go, and said with a smile: "Okay, the nanny is here to save you, and I'll talk to me about it when I come back tonight. Besides, if you dare to make things difficult for the boys secretly, I'll exchange them for you to grow up." Come on, you can figure it out." Jia Lan made another salute indiscriminately, and ran out quickly while hesitating.

Seeing that Nanny Yan put down the curtain and went out with Jia Lan, Nanny Chang snickered and said, "On weekdays, I like to be well-behaved, and I'm not slower than anyone else in protecting the calf, but she even does this kind of thing gracefully." If I can afford to be a nanny, I'm convinced." Suyun Biyue and the others all grinned sullenly.

Let’s say that Madam Yan sent Jia Lan to the second gate, and asked the little girls to hand over the things they took to Yan Ming and Chang’an, and explained a few words as usual, watching the few people leave, and then turned back to the women and daughters-in-law in the gate Let's chat a few words.As the sun was getting higher, Madam Yan took care of the few things at hand before going to the main room.Li Wan was flipping through a stack of papers, while Nanny Chang was talking in a low voice, Suyun and Biyue were serving tea, a peaceful place, like two worlds outside.

Nanny Yan stepped forward to salute, Li Wan raised her hand, Bi Yue hurriedly fetched a brocade stick for Nanny Yan, and served tea.Yan Momo lowered her hand first and said: "Second Master Bao has also gone to the school now, it is not too late for us to go out today, but we heard from the door that Second Master Bao went there early in the morning, as expected, he is a grown-up governor .”

Biyue giggled from the side, and when Madam Yan glanced at her, Biyue couldn't help shivering.Nanny Chang raised her head with a smile and said, "What are you laughing at, little girl?!"

Seeing that Li Wan was also looking at her, Bi Yue smiled and said, "I couldn't help laughing when I heard Mammy praised Second Master Bao. Now everyone really praises him. The old gentleman who invited me when winter came earlier There was something in the family, and they were going back to the south a few years ago. Second master Bao was overjoyed when he got the news, and even drank two or three cups of wine when he had dinner with the old lady.

The little maid in the old lady's yard also said that the second master Bao must be sick at this time of the year, so that the master can't invite Mr. Xin, and everyone is careful when they are on business, for fear that they will be hit by the white quilt if they are unlucky. Get involved.

Who would have thought that he would go to the East Mansion with Second Mistress, and when he met Grandma Xiaorong's brother, he would immediately feel relieved and pester the old lady to go to the school together to study.The old lady was overjoyed, and she ordered that a brocade canopy cart should be reserved for Erye Bao's commute to and from school, and the wife sent another person to tidy up the cart inside and out.

When I went there the day before, the one with the big bag and the small package didn't look like he was going to school, but it looked like he was moving house.Now that it's getting darker and darker, the old ladies are both relieved and distressed, and even become more affectionate to Grandma Xiaorong.It is said below that Second Master Bao is indeed our family's phoenix egg, and it is a benefit to be able to get a little bit of it. "

After hearing this, Nanny Chang said to Li Wan: "The little brother of the Qin family also looks good, but he's a little shy in front of others, and he's a bit girlish."

Li Wan recalled meeting Jia Mu last time, and said: "After all, it is a small family. Because Baoyu has won the eyes of everyone, it is inevitable that some people can't let go when they come to such a place."

Nanny Chang smiled and said: "Grandma's words are off the mark. Grandma Xiao Rong has always been close to the second grandma, and she is favored by the old lady. Not to mention in Dongfu, even here she has a bit of face. She It’s not all because of Baoyu that my brother can be treated badly.”

Li Wan nodded and said: "Mama's words are reasonable, but I was wrong. Now that this brother can lure Baoyu to study, I think there will only be more harmony in the future. The old lady and the master will not worry too much." .”

Everyone nodded in agreement.This is also a common idea, given that Li Wan's ladies in the inner house come from a scholarly family, how can one think that there is such a kind of person in the world who can be close to each other just because of their handsome appearance, and can also go to school in the name of studying And the truth is that the pictures accompany each other.

After a few gossips, Nanny Yan sat down on the brocade tree. Li Wan showed her the paper in his hand, and said, "This is the picture of the garden. I'm discussing with Nanny Chang about the place to be repaired. , Mammy also came over to take a look."

After hearing the words, Madam Yan picked it up and turned it over carefully in her hand. She knew it was not a small place, but this time she saw the blueprint and she knew better. It's hard to go out, and my brother is still young, so we need manpower for repairs and tidying up. Although there are many people in the house, it's not convenient for us to use it here. But if we ignore it, it's not a matter of entering the yard a few times , the grass and trees are the most unstoppable, and they will become a deserted garden after a year or two, not to mention a pity, it will take more effort to rectify it next time."

Nanny Chang echoed at the other end: "You've hit the point. It's precisely because of this that you want to look at it and fix it. Not to mention anything else, Ye Yuanzi's handwriting was so useless back then, it was a crime."

Li Wan also said: "It doesn't matter if you have a manpower. Uncle Lan'er can't waste his name in vain. My sister-in-law agreed to this matter earlier, as long as we come up with ideas."

Yan Momo nodded and said: "That's easy to say, it's all about what Grandma thinks."

Nanny Chang smiled and said, "We don't have any major affairs at hand now, just to give grandma the details, and the left and right grandmas are not short of money."

Yan Momo glanced at her and said: "This money is throwing away, but time and energy are not throwing away? Grandma has to stay there for a while, so it doesn't need to be so troublesome."

Nanny Chang smiled and said: "When the garden is repaired, if you want to go there in the future, you can always find something, so don't worry about that." After hearing this, Nanny Yan didn't refute her anymore, and the two of them calmly talked Discuss the repair of this garden.

Li Wan has been obsessed with cultivation in the Fuchen Bazaar for a while, and has a new enthusiasm for "things".Usually, in her opinion, the things in the world are just to entertain the body, to coax the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, and it is not worth investing too much.Last time, because I made a 'small room', I worked hard for a while, and realized that I still need to rely on these manifested "things" to walk in this manifested world, just like a clever woman cooks without rice.As a result, I gained some new understanding of the matter of "things", and even took care of living outside.Looking at it with the heart of "creating the environment", the garden at hand is naturally a bit interesting.At this moment, when discussing with the two nuns, every time there was a proposal that seemed like a stroke of genius, it caused a few exclamations.

This kind of thing is naturally difficult to accomplish overnight, and for a few days, when they have free time, several people will come up and talk about it, even Suyun Biyue can interject a few sentences.It was noon again today, when Jia Lan was going to leave school, suddenly a woman came and said that the wife had invited her.Li Wan changed his clothes and led others there, but Jia Lan was also there.

After going forward to salute, Mrs. Wang sat upright on the kang, twirling Buddhist beads in her hand, lowered her eyes and said, "I've asked you to come here this time because I have something to ask you."

Li Wan hurriedly bowed her head in agreement, and Mrs. Wang said: "I didn't pay attention before, why do I hear that Lan'er doesn't eat in the school now? There is a rule here, everyone in the school eats normally , Lan'er is so excited, do you think you have a long face?! You don't have to be said to break the rules! Besides, he is a junior, so if others don't say it, you are right?!"

Jia Lan stood aside with her head bowed, Li Wan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Madam, calm down."

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly and said, "Why should I be angry?"

Li Wan took a deep breath, and had no choice but to continue to say: "Back to Madam, Lan'er also eats in the school, but his food intake is not enough for the school's quota, so he brought some extra food. At the beginning, I also had a meal with him. The school said to give him some statutes, and the account is calculated separately. The school has always done it according to the head, so suddenly it broke the rules. The daughter-in-law thought about it, and then came up with this bad plan. At that time, it was decided. I told my wife, at that time my wife just said that I don't want to add trouble to the school."

Mrs. Wang frowned and looked at Caixia who was waiting for her, she saw that Caixia nodded slightly, she knew that this matter had really happened in front of her at that time, so she couldn't hold on to it any longer, so she said: " I don't think Lan'er is much stronger than the other brother. Didn't you still bluff a while ago? So it seems that the foundation is still weak. Eating too much can hurt your temper. You should still be able to eat it? It’s not enough, just bring some snacks, why are you still serving hot dishes in the charcoal stove every day? This is just coming to me. If the master knows, he must say that he is arrogant and habitual! I will see, from now on Don't bother with the kitchen every day, and save yourself from losing your dignity, it doesn't look like we are going to study, but we are actually going to eat."

Li Wan had no choice but to agree, thinking about something else.Jia Lan stood aside, clenched her fists tightly, and when Mrs. Wang said "Go down", she saluted with Li Wan and came out.Mrs. Wang raised her eyelids, Li Wan lowered his head and couldn't see clearly, but when he saw Jia Lan's face was so sullen that water dripped out, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel even more displeased.

The two returned to the courtyard, Li Wan greeted someone to wait on Jia Lan to change clothes, wash her face and wash her hands as usual, Nanny Chang and the others already knew about this from Nanny Yan, so naturally everyone was not angry, Bi Yue said: "What's the matter?" , in the end is to eat, or to eat a system!"

Nanny Yan patted her lightly, and when she saw that Jia Lan had packed up and was sitting on the kang, she poured a cup of fruit tea and handed it to her.

Yan Momo couldn't help feeling distressed, she looked at Li Wan and said, "What did you say? Did something happen in the school, or what? Why don't you let me eat?"

Biyue also muttered in a low voice: "I don't eat their food, we spend money to eat our own food, who is in the way?! My brother is bullied at such a young age, so he is not afraid of retribution!"

Nanny Chang smiled and said: "Okay, one by one, grandma really talked, and after a few days, all of them became frivolous. They were much more powerful than this back then, maybe they all came here like this. Everyone is jumping up and down at this moment. It’s hard to guess. Now that the second master Bao has brought Mr. Qin’s family to the school, if the second master Bao is allowed to use the school’s meals, I guess Bao The second master has nothing to be unhappy about, but compared with our brother, the phoenix egg is famous outside, isn’t it ugly on the surface? But if we follow our brother’s spectrum, I’m afraid the second master has no brother The good appetite is a matter of twos and threes, and the old lady has nothing to say if the fanfare is raised. If the master finds out, it may cause a storm.

This is still the second, the most important thing, there are not only Bao Erye who is a serious man in the school, but also Huan Sanye, who usually eats with the old lady at home. No one is serious, who let the old lady spoil her.But if you go to school, you can't let people deliver the dishes that the two old ladies rewarded every day. This is clearly out of order, how can the wife take charge of the family in the future?I am afraid that the name of the concubine will not be able to escape.Counting back and forth like this is not the most convenient way to make my brother feel wronged. "

Jia Lan listened attentively, and said at this moment: "Second Uncle Bao didn't eat at the school. Uncle Xue invited him for a few days, and Uncle Bao invited him back, and two more people who came to the school also came to join us. They are close, and they are all used outside.”

Nanny Chang also said: "Second Master Bao is not the one who waits for his mouth to be broken and heartbroken. He certainly didn't say it. It's just that my wife has my wife's considerations."

Jia Lan was still full of anger, Li Wan looked at him and asked him, "How are you doing?"

Seeing that Li Wan didn't show any signs of defending him, Jia Lan felt more and more wronged, and her eyes turned red.Li Wan didn't feel distressed, so he hurriedly pulled his hands into his arms, and sighed: "Look, aren't you stupid? What did the madam say just now? What the madam said was not to bother the cook anymore. Like that, If you still love the taste of home, it’s not impossible to cook for you on the small stove in our yard. I just heard from you that there are many people in your school who eat outside. If you like to eat outside, I will send Chang An Take some extra money to go out. In the end, it’s not easy to open here, and you don’t like the taste of restaurants outside, so I’ll hire another person to cook for you outside. Tell me, How can this matter be worth crying for you?"

The few people in the room were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. They couldn't figure out why the same thing always became a little weird when it came to my grandma.

After all, Jia Lan was young, and after listening to Li Wan's call, she also felt that nothing was wrong, so why was she so wronged and angry just now?Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Li Wan waved his hands to make everyone retreat, and said to Jia Lan in a low voice, "You were sad just because you saw that your wife didn't allow you to eat well, and you felt wronged. It was you who wanted to go wrong. You also heard what Nanny Chang said, this person has his own thoughts, and has what this person believes is important.

For example, master, if you ask him to eat a bowl of wontons in clear soup outside, he would rather be hungry.Another example is your second uncle Bao, if you tear up his book, I am afraid he will still laugh at you, but if you throw all the official kiln rouge boxes in his house into the back canal, do you think he will be angry? !But what if you were here?If someone moves your book for nothing, you don't seem to be the one with it.So you see, are you right, or your second uncle Bao, or the master?Hard to say?It's just a personality.

The wife is a person of this character, and her dignified appearance is more important than the belly of your grandson.It's true, that's what she thinks.What are you angry about!Can you be angry that it only snows in winter but not in summer?Can you be mad at the sun rising in the east and setting in the west?These are all facts, the facts are the facts, it is in front of you, as long as you know what to do, just do what you have to do, there is nothing to be angry about? "

Jia Lan listened in a daze for a while, thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that there was really nothing to be angry about, let alone sad, so she smiled and said to Li Wan, "Mother, really find a place for me to do it. food?"
