Chapter 235

Ai Lan had had enough, so she took the sewing basket and led the pet dog Xiaobai to the courtyard to chat with Sophora japonica and Zaohua.On the way, I met Aunt Luo walking in the garden with the fourth young master in her arms, followed by two girls, Zhifang and Zhifei, and the nurse.

The fourth young master has finally been fed some meat during this period of time, his face is pink and chubby, he is wearing a tiger hat, red jacket and trousers, and a longevity lock on his neck, looking very happy.

Aunt Wu seems to be quite happy with Aunt Luo raising the child for her. She only visits Luoxue Garden once or twice a month, and at the beginning she will send some clothes and toys, but every time she goes there, the fourth young master is not willing to let her hug him. If he hugged her forcibly, the fourth young master would cry and stretch out his little hand to find Aunt Luo. This situation really broke Aunt Wu's heart, but Aunt Wu is also a person who can afford to let go. Seeing how the fourth young master didn't get close to her at the moment, it was her own flesh and blood. She still didn't believe that the fourth young master would abandon her as his biological mother in the future to honor Aunt Luo.

Afterwards, Aunt Wu stopped seeing the fourth young master, she was happy and at ease, she dressed up and took care of herself all day long, but she dominated Hou Yeyan Cangxiong for a long time.

Obviously, it has been several months since I had contact with Ai Lan, but the fourth young master remembered Ai Lan. When he saw Ai Lan, he stretched out his little hand to be hugged by Ai Lan. When he grinned, the four millet teeth It came out, very cute and cute.

Ai Lan didn't stay long, exchanged a few words with Aunt Luo and was about to leave. The fourth young master flattened his mouth, and tears were already rolling in his eyes. Ai Lan immediately handed over a palm-sized yellow bear, and the fourth young master smiled happily .

When Ailan arrived at the courtyard, she saw Zaohua sitting on the porch, feeding the soles of her shoes, putting her hands into her sleeves from time to time to warm up for a while before continuing to wear them.

Xiaobai recognized Zaohua, and first barked at Zaohua twice. Zaohua raised her head and saw Ai Lan walking through the corner gate. I haven't come here for a long time, Huaihua also said that you are a noble person who forgets things, and you have already forgotten about us!"

Ailan smiled: "Where's Sophora japonica? In such a cold day, I thought she would hide in the house and warm herself by the fire!"

"Isn't it approaching the end of the year? Madam was too busy, so she dispatched some people from the courtyard, kitchen, etc., and Sophora japonica was selected!" Zaohua poured a bowl of boiled water for Ai Lan, and the boiled water was slightly warm. But the drink is already cold in the mouth.

Ailan thought of the small tea room in the Sanskrit House, where hot tea is always available, and if you want to take a bath, there is plenty of hot water in the small kitchen. In the courtyard, except for the steward's room, there is a small charcoal stove burning hot water. Others have to go to the second kitchen to get hot water. Compared with here, Ailan feels that her current living conditions are quite good.

"By the way, why did you put the soles of your shoes on the porch, and why didn't you light a charcoal basin inside?" Ailan noticed that the inside of the room was not much warmer than the outside, and it was cold and gloomy.

"The charcoal we share is rationed, and the charcoal that Sophora Huaihua and I have shared is dedicated to Nanny Gu, so we can only bear with it, but fortunately, the quilt is thick enough, and the two of us can squeeze together at night. It's hot!" Zao Hua said indifferently.

Ai Lan didn't ask any more, she already knew why Sophora japonica and Zaohua did this. In addition to honoring charcoal, each of them also honored [-] Wen, because it was the end of the year, and there was a regulation in the mansion to let people everywhere The stewards report to the servants who are serious and responsible on weekdays and perform well. The mansion will give a monthly reward for half a year. Each steward can report one or two quotas. Both Zaohua and Zaohua want to fight for one.

"Is this shoe sole also paid for Gu Nuo?" Ai Lan asked.

"Well, I have nothing to show for it. My mouth is stupid, and the shoes I only made are not bad..." Zaohua blushed, a little embarrassed, suddenly thought of something, hurried to her cabinet, pulled Open the door of the cupboard and take out a pair of ready-made cloth shoes from inside. The uppers are verdant green and embroidered with pink lotus flowers. "I made this pair for you. You can try it to see if it fits well!"

Ai Lan didn't expect Zaohua to make shoes for her, and she was not in a hurry to try them on, she was a little touched, and her heart was warm.

"Oh, by the way, Sophora japonica also made a pair of shoes. She put them away and said they would give them to you during the Chinese New Year, and ask you for some favors by the way!" On the contrary, I find it funny.

"During the Chinese New Year, let's get together to have fun again. I'll treat the big guys to dinner." Ai Lan said, feeling a little rich, after all, she has a lot of money now, and she plans to let Leng Ping go out for her when she is free Find a house and buy it. Although you don't live in it now, you can rent it out, which can be regarded as a fortune.

"Okay! Sophora japonica will definitely die of joy if she finds out!" Zaohua said with a smile, rubbing her hands and stamping her feet, and looked outside to see the sky, "The weather is gloomy, it's only about three o'clock, but it's like evening I don’t know what happened to Sophora japonica on errand, it is said that she sorted things in the warehouse..."

Zaohua was talking, when suddenly she saw a third-class maidservant hurried over from the corner door, looked around, saw Zaohua standing at the door of the room, and said: "Is it Sister Zaohua?"

Zaohua nodded, doubts flashed in her eyes.

"Sister Huaihua had an accident, she was arrested, she said she was going to be shot, and asked me to find Erlan, but I couldn't find it, so I had to come to you!" The little girl said panting, and ran away in the cold weather. It's hard for her to sweat.

"You said something happened to Sophora japonica?" Zaohua couldn't believe it. In her eyes, Sophora japonica was an extremely shrewd person, how could...

"Are you caught by Nanny Lai, right? Let's go and have a look!" Ai Lan led Xiaobai out directly, without the little girl leading the way, and went straight to the accounting room, because the warehouse and the accounting room were in the same yard.

The little girl who was in charge of passing the message watched Ai Lan walk out of the corner door in surprise. She knew Ai Lan, and now Ai Lan is still very famous among the servants in the mansion.

Zaohua didn't care too much, she took the door and ran out of the corner door.

There was a large group of people standing in the courtyard of the counting room, headed by Nanny Chen and Nanny Lai, and two rough envoys were kneeling on the ground with Sophora japonica.On the ground paved with bluestone bricks, although the snow on it has been cleaned, there is still a little bit of snow left, which has already melted. The bluestone bricks are very damp, and the dress of Sophora japonica has been soaked, and the hair is messy. There are also red and swollen palm prints.
