"Sister-in-law Zheng, sister-in-law Wang, it's good that your two families are here."

In the afternoon, the cicadas chirped far away, Li Qianyue was taking a nap in the house, and the maid An'er and a few servant women talked softly under the porch, and from time to time paid attention to the movement in the house through the open window.

Li Qianyue slept peacefully, and her attention gradually turned away.

She was joined by the ladies of the two servants who had just arrived, and the ladies waited in the inner house, while her two men were in charge of guarding the doors and carrying the goods.

The courtyard is not very big, it is enough for so many people, and it is much more lively than before.

The two servant women are all newcomers, and they used to do rough work, so they are naturally not as expensive as An'er, a big girl who has accompanied Li Qianyue since childhood.

I heard that An'er used to serve the mother of the little master, and she was a widow by the elders' side, and she was so loyal to the little master, which was more and more worthy of a high look.

Sister-in-law Zheng smiled: "We are all stupid people, okay? It's just that Father-in-law Duofu ordered, saying that our man is still honest and strong, and he is here to help guard the door, and we will listen to the girl's orders to do some rough work. ”

Another sister-in-law also said: "Yes, we can't compare to girls, but we are bought slaves." ”

"Two sisters-in-law, don't say that, if you want to talk about it, who of us is not a slave?"

After all, An'er used to serve the young lady in a mansion like the Li Mansion, and these servants bought from outside must have been extraordinarily down-to-earth and generous and able to speak.

"I've just been serving the little boy for a long time, so I'm just talking a few more words in this house and taking care of things more. The two sisters-in-law have been here these days, and they can naturally see that our family is different from other families, and there is only one master, the little son. ”

Sister-in-law Zheng and sister-in-law Wang glanced at each other.

Of course they do.

"I know, I know, I made it clear when my father-in-law bought us. Hey, this is the official business, and those of us who are slaves don't care. Father-in-law Duofu said that if you listen to the girl, we will listen to the girl. ”

As he was talking, he heard two knocks on the door, and a familiar woman's voice whispered outside, "Is anyone there?" I'm Aunt Zhou on the other side. ”

"It's Aunt Zhou."

An'er smiled: "This new neighbor is really respectable and cute, and this Aunt Zhou is also a loud person." Two days ago, she said that her man would make a kind of dog cage that could lock up our naughty little white and not let it get out of the cage again. Presumably I'm here to deliver the cage today, I'll take a look. ”

"Hey, girl, let's keep an eye on the little boy here, it's going to be fine."

An'er smiled and went to open the door, Aunt Zhou outside the door saw her smiling, An'er hurriedly turned sideways and asked her, "Aunt Zhou, please come in." ”

Aunt Zhou hurriedly said, "No, no, I'm here to invite Miss An'er to us." Does the girl remember the dog cage? My man has already done it, but the object is too big to carry, so I simply asked the girl to go over and take a look, and if I think there is anything wrong, I will directly change it in our yard and send it back, so as not to move it around. ”

An'er was moved by the other party's enthusiasm, "Aunt Zhou, Uncle Zhou has worked hard to do this for us, and I'm already very embarrassed." Where is the reason to pick and choose and ask him to change? ”

"Well, that's not what I said!"

Aunt Zhou said happily: "Since you have done it, you have to do it well, my man can't do anything else, and the carpentry work is still okay." Let's go, just go and see! ”

It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, An'er glanced back at the corridor, and the sister-in-law Zheng and sister-in-law Wang heard their words, so they waved at An'er and motioned her to go.

An'er was relieved and followed Aunt Zhou to the opposite door.

Although it has been a while since An'er took Li Qianyue to live here by Duofu, she has hardly interacted with outsiders for several years, and she has not come to the other door.

It's the first time I've been here today.

She was a little embarrassed when she walked to the door, "Aunt Zhou, is your owner at home?" Wouldn't it be bad for me to come so rashly? ”

"What's wrong?"

Aunt Zhou smiled: "Our owner is a kind person, don't worry." What's more, your little boy likes our host so much, and when he sees him, he calls him daddy! We are neighbors again, and we have such a fate, you are polite and have a part! ”

Everyone has a maid with a head and a face, and it is inevitable that the etiquette is too thoughtful, and it is not suitable for ordinary people to interact with each other.

An'er thought about it and said a little embarrassedly: "Aunt Zhou is right, our two families have fate, so I won't be restrained in the future." ”

"That's right!"

……

An'er followed Aunt Zhou into the backyard, and saw a tall wooden cage in the yard, the wood was brand new, and it still exuded fragrance.

Uncle Zhou was standing aside, discussing something with a young man in a blue robe, and could only see the man's back.

An'er didn't care, now such a cyan robe is popular in the capital, and it is best to use cotton, I heard that the Queen Mother likes it the most.

She smiled at Aunt Zhou and said, "How did you make such a big cage?" Our little white is very small, and it was originally for the little boy to be a playmate, so I didn't dare to buy a big one. ”

Aunt Zhou said: "You don't know, your Xiaobai is still young, but he has good bones and can grow very tall in the future." My man can look at bones, and he's right. Wouldn't it be troublesome to simply make it bigger, and save the small white and change the cage again? ”

An'er became more and more happy, "I'm going to give Uncle Zhou a salute, thank you for taking such a bother!" ”

The two stepped forward while talking, and Uncle Zhou saw the two of her coming, and just greeted An'er, "Miss An'er, come and take a look, are you still satisfied with this cage?" ”

An'er leaned down towards him with a smile on her face, "I'm so satisfied, please accept my gift Uncle Zhou, thank you for your trouble." ”

When she got up, she saw the man in green clothes with his back to her turn around.

The moment she saw the man's face, she froze in place.

……

"Uncle, no...... Master! ”

In the quiet room, only Ji Yushen and An Er were left.

One sat upright on the Taishi's chair, and the other knelt on the ground, weeping profusely.

No wonder the little boy would call a stranger as his father at will, at first An'er only thought it was a joke, the child's ignorant language, but I didn't expect this person to be Ji Yushen!

An'er bowed to the ground, "The master didn't die, he actually came back, and since then the little boy has a father again, slave maid, slave maid is so happy!" ”

"Get up."

Ji Yushen's tone was as indifferent as before, "I am a dead person, and now I am just an ordinary businessman in Lingnan, not your master." Whoever sustains your livelihood now is his slave, and it is not mine. ”

An'er opened her mouth, thinking that Ji Yushen's death might have a hidden secret, and now that he wanted to hide his identity, he didn't continue to insist.
