Chapter 246 Happy Birthday

In the cold winter, when it was dark, there was snow, which made the lanterns shine golden, and when the wind blew, they swirled and disappeared.Some little girls who love snow ran out to pick up snowflakes and play happily. When they saw someone coming, they squatted on their knees as a blessing.

"Sister-in-law Zhong. Sister Mo Zi." Everyone now knows that Mo Zi, who guards the bamboo forest, is one of the four major dowry girls of the third year.When others look at Lin Zi, they are not favored, but this one is different. You can come and leave whenever you want, and you don’t need to pass on when you want to see grandma, and when you come back, not only can you make grandma happy, but even the third master thinks highly of it. Talk about everything.

Mo Zi nodded with a smile, and said to Zhong's daughter-in-law, "It will snow all night, and tomorrow we can build snowmen."

The daughter-in-law of the Zhong family has been working for more than three months, and she understands it.This time, the third master put all his thought into the third grandma.Although the third master asked her to strictly govern the silent Zhiyuan and said that the third grandma would not be allowed to go out, but he was the one who broke the rules.At the beginning, I took the third grandma to the study, and there was always a bit of a stiff face back and forth. Later, when the young couple stepped out of the courtyard, it was like going out on a green trip, talking and laughing.

"That's great. Our yard will be lively tomorrow. Don't say that the girls and the third grandma like to get close, the third master will also come up with tricks." The daughter-in-law of Zhong's family is also an old man who has served Xiao Yong for many years, and she knows when to Open one eye and close one eye.From her point of view, the days when the golden silk was the sole favorite are over, and the first wife will become the heart of Yong Gu Zhai.Why should she sing a different tune, when the time comes, there will be no one inside or outside. "No, the third grandma brought some wild game from Zhuangzi to the old lady's place a few days ago, but the third master didn't follow, saying that in the palace, the third grandma can go wherever she wants. I watched, three* **The disease is completely cured."

It wasn't that he was cured of his illness, but that the momentary mood of placing Qiu Sanniang under house arrest faded from Xiao Sanlang's heart.A wise person should know that forced confinement is not a long-term solution.

"Although the illness is cured, the body still needs to be taken care of." The cold wind went straight into the neck, and the snowflakes were cold on the face. "Sister-in-law Zhong helped with the snacks, so as not to make grandma tired. By the way, you didn't talk about your family a while ago." That guy was seriously ill, and he was a little weak? Grandma once gave me a piece of wild ginseng, five years old, it may not be able to nourish the Qi, but it’s okay to nourish Qi. I’m here with relatives, and I don’t need it. Sister-in-law Zhong treats me a lot Take care, it's an early New Year's gift."

Before entering the inner courtyard, Mo Zi took out the prepared wild ginseng box and stuffed it to Zhong's daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law of the Zhong family made a gesture, so she hurriedly thanked her and accepted it. She looked around for attention, and said in a low voice, "The person in my family said that two days ago, the concubine and the lord mentioned that grandma is out now. Do you want Si Niang?" His two children were raised in the grandma's courtyard, and the prince said that the princess should be the master. In this case, I, a poor steward of the outer courtyard, told grandma, if you have the heart, please remind grandma. I see, Raising one's own children is much better than raising other people's children. Besides, Si Niang's two sons and daughters are already sensible, and they are favored by the old lady. Grandma will definitely cause trouble if she takes over. If possible, it is best to take advantage of the third master to treat grandma Like a baby, hurry up and conceive one yourself."

"Yo, it seems that I didn't give away this ginseng for nothing." Mo Zi pursed her lips and smiled, "I thank you for grandma."

"It's Miss Mo Zi who treats people with sincerity, and I said that. If my family knows that I gossip, I will have to be told." Zhong's daughter-in-law also laughed, turned around and hurried away.

"Next time, don't just chew on these things with me, I am more concerned about national affairs." Because it is about personal interests.As the day of the Daqiu Mission's arrival approached day by day, I felt uneasy for some reason.Of course, she was talking to herself,

Under the abandoned corridor, walking in the courtyard, the snow is falling.The country where she grew up in her memory was far colder than here, but she couldn't bear the cold in her bones, and she loved to wrap clothes around her body in winter, unlike those big begging girls whose ancestors were born in the grasslands, no matter how cold they were, they still wore slim clothes Than no chills.That person called her Bear in winter.

"Mo Zi, you're not afraid of the cold in such a cold day, and you wear so little?" Lu Ju was about to enter the study with hot tea, when she saw Mo Zi, she hurriedly told her to go faster.

Turns out, after all those years, she wasn't a bear anymore.Mo Zi trotted and stood still on the porch patting the snow.The snowflakes are small and melt into the palm of your hand with one slap, cool and moist.Turning in a circle, the memory quickly faded.

"Have guests?" The daughter-in-law of the Zhong family only sold gossip.

"My mother-in-law, you are from Luozhou. Grandma is happy to see that she is from the same town. She wants to stay for two days so that she can talk." Lu Ju touched the thick cloth curtain with her elbow, and the teacups on the tray trembled slightly.

Mo Zi helped Lu Ju lift up the curtain, "I don't know how you bring the tea in when I'm not around? Every time I get stuck here."

Luju turned her head and stuck out her tongue, "It's almost impossible to live alone."

Mo Zi laughed, shook his head, and followed in.Suddenly felt hot, the hearth was turned on high, and the room was as warm as spring and summer.Just as he took off his padded robe outside, before he could find a place to put it, he heard Qiu Sanniang calling her from inside.

"Mo Zi, come in and help me see, are these two girls good at picking?"

Mo Zi walked into the back room to take a look, first saw a familiar face, said happily, "Isn't this Mrs. Gao?".

Gao Yapo was sitting next to Qiu Sanniang, and heard someone calling her, but she looked at a girl she had never seen before, and thought to herself, could it be that she was too old-fashioned?

Seeing Aunt Gao's confused face, Mo Zi said, "Aunt Gao, I'm Brother Mo. In Luozhou, the black boy who often comes to your place to drink porridge."

Aunt Gao naturally remembered Brother Mo who saved her restaurant from the predicament, and stared at the completely different Peach Blossom Noodles with her mouth gaping, "Brother Mo is your daughter's home?"

Qiu Sanniang didn't expect the two to know each other, but she didn't stop her from being funny, "That's right, Brother Mo is a big girl. Her habit of painting herself black has been changed now. Aunt Gao, what you saw this time is the deity, but you must You have to remember, lest you won't recognize her when you ask her for porridge money."

Everyone laughed.

Mo Zi chatted with Mrs. Gao about something else, but didn't mention it.

After Aunt Gao and the two newly bought maids were led down by Luju, and waiting for the time for dinner, Mo Zi told the daughter-in-law of the Zhong family.

Qiu Sanniang pondered for a while, only said that she knew, and asked Xiaoyi to call Baihe, Hongmei and Greenju.

Bai He was wearing a stove apron, and was the last one to walk in, feeling a little anxious, "Grandma, what's the matter, wait until the servant girl finishes cooking, halfway through cooking, it's all in the pot."

"Isn't this while Mo Zi is here? She is in charge of the other side of the shipyard, and she comes back less and less. Maybe she will leave now. When will I get it next time?" Qiu Sanniang brought up a small black box with gold painting and put it on the table. , turning the lock with his hand, "Bai He, how long have you been with me?"

Bai He thought for a while, "The servant girl has been with grandma for more than 14 years since she was seven years old."

"Today is your birthday." Qiu Sanniang had an extra key in her hand and was fiddling with the lock.

Mo Zi thought, now is definitely not the time to say happy birthday.Qiu Sanniang obviously had something important to say, so she specially asked Xiaoyi to call her back.Perhaps a birthday surprise?People often don't know that surprise and fright are actually just a thought.

Bai He didn't have as much thought as Mo Zi, she was pure and joyful, "The slaves have forgotten, grandma still remembers?"

"I don't really remember, you all know—" Qiu Sanniang glanced over the four girls and Mo Zi, "I'm heartless, I've never celebrated anyone's birthday, it's my own , or you insisted on helping."

That's not because they are heartless, but because they are stingy and stingy, in order to save money.Mo Zi lowered her eyes and stared at the toe of the shoe, thinking to herself.But one thing to say, it's much better now.No, we have to celebrate the girl's birthday.

"Grandma, don't say that. How can a master make a birthday for a girl? It's Bai He's blessing that Grandma can remember the date." Bai He is pure and kind, but not stupid. After a few words, doubts arose in her heart.

"After all these years, how about making up the gifts all at once?" Qiu Sanniang lifted the lid of the box and took out a roll of paper and a small booklet.

Mo Zi couldn't tell what the roll of old paper was, but the book was very familiar, it was exactly the same as the household book in her hand.

"Bai He, this is your contract of sale." Qiu Sanniang held the roll of paper with her palm up and handed it to Bai He, smiling slightly, "Take it. If you want to keep it for yourself, you should tear it up Remember, you decide. You don’t have to worry about the deed of prostitution falling into other people’s hands, it’s already useless paper with the official seal on it. From now on, you can be at your own pace and make your own decisions.”

As soon as these words came out, several people were so startled that they didn't know how to react, it was hard to distinguish between joy and fright.

Bai He rubbed forward step by step, took the scroll with both hands, untied the rope, opened it to read for a long time, and brought it to Mo Zi, "Mo Zi, I can't read, please help me read it."

Lu Ju called out, "My good sister, you can't read and still read for a long time? My heart is jumping in my throat."

Mo Zi saw a big invalid stamp on the scroll, with the seal of the Great Zhou Household Department and the year, month and day written in small characters, and nodded, "It is indeed Bai He, your contract of prostitution has been voided." Congratulations... ?But Bai He's face was pale.

And Hongmei who was standing opposite didn't look happy, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

Lu Ju was the most thoughtless, clapping her hands and saying yes, "Sister, kowtow to grandma to thank you, from now on, you are a free person, how nice it is."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai He really knelt down.Kneeling heavily, knee hit the ground, bang bang twice.

"Grandma doesn't need Baihe?"Thinking more than Lu Ju, Bai He was very disturbed, "So, did you let Zhong's daughter-in-law find the cook?" She thought it was her helper, after all, as a maid, she couldn't stay in the kitchen all the time.Looking at it now, it is a well-calculated replacement.

"Bai He, you are old enough to leave the house. If you delay any longer, you will be missed for the rest of your life." A few months ago, Mo Zi's words woke up Qiu Sanniang, starting with Bai He.

Xingxing's eyes widened, and she made arrangements like this, "Let's have a good meal together tonight, and help Bai He clean up tomorrow morning. Xiaoyi, you send Bai He out of the house through the main entrance. Also, Mo Zi—"

Let Baihe go out.

Mo Zi thought that the first one to be free would be herself.However, for Bai He, who grew up with Qiu Sanniang and is as loyal as a satellite, freedom is not only not urgent, but also very frightening.

First update today.

There may be three more.
