On the 16th of the twelfth lunar month, Aiju limped to Feng Mansion.
When Pingbo saw Aiju coming over, he shouted: Aiju, I told you, you don't have to come here in a hurry - go to work. After your body recovers, you can stay in the house every day as you did in the past. Why are you in a hurry!
Aiju held up her legs and replied: These days, I stay at home every day and feel so bored that I want to go out and walk around.
Pingbo continued: If you want to move around, you are in the village...
"I haven't seen the Third Madam during this period, and I miss her very much. I stopped by to chat with the Third Madam." Aiju interrupted:
Pingbo replied: That's fine.
However, you have to be careful, as you can easily fall if you walk with a limp.
Aiju called out: Uncle Ping, my family has been taken care of by you and Uncle Fan in the past month or so. I would like to thank you on behalf of my family! Thanks!
Pingbo responded: We didn't do anything!
Aiju said: It was not you who sent me home that day...
"That's what the young master ordered us to do." Uncle Ping said:
"These days, you have been helping my family deliver food and medicine every day." Aiju said:
Uncle Ping replied: Without the old lady’s instructions, how would we have time to do this?
Besides, what we did was a simple task. From the perspective of friends, we have no shirking responsibility. For the sake of Liu Xiaotong (Uncle Liu), we are even more obligated.
What's more! You are a relative of Fan Bo, so you don’t have to feel guilty towards us.
Aiju argued: Uncle Ping, what are you talking about! "Grace is grace, love is love." This is something Aiju will never forget. I'm glad to know you. It's great to know you.
"By the way, I haven't seen Uncle Fan for a few days. Did something happen to him?" Aiju said blankly:
"Bah! Bah! Bah! You always think about the bad things. You seem to be hoping that something will happen to Uncle Fan!" Ping Bo said:
Aiju called out: Uncle Ping, don't make a fuss out of a molehill! I just don’t want to make things too perfect.
Like me, I'm not the best example.
Ping Bo said: Aiju, you don't need to be "fearful of well ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once." You have done a good job before. If you have made mistakes before, you are too kind.
Aiju said: Uncle Ping, you are making excuses for me. I was not careful enough before, so that’s why!
Pingbo continued: Aiju, you are indeed not cautious enough. You are a little more humane and have made yourself scarred.
if! You have no humanity and you don't know us, so we won't get you into trouble.
Aiju smiled and said: Uncle Ping, where did you get this? I didn’t think about it that way, okay!
Uncle Ping yelled, "I won't talk to you anymore. Go find the third lady. The third lady has asked me about you many times."
Aiju scolded: Why didn't you tell me?
Ping Bo said: So what if I said so! You have to hold your legs and walk now.
"How about I help you go to the third lady's room?" Uncle Ping continued:
Aiju replied: No, I will go to the old lady first.
Uncle Ping said: Then walk slowly!
Aiju moved step by step to the old lady's room and called out: "Old lady!" Old lady!
There was no echo from the back room.
She walked up and "knocked" on the door and shouted: Old lady, are you in the house!
The old lady heard the door knocking and called out: Gui'er (Feng Caizhu), go and open the door.
"Okay, mother." Rich Master Feng turned and walked towards the door.
He held the door open and said: Ah Feng, you are back so soon.
"Master Feng, be well!" Aiju asked:
Feng Caizhu saw Aiju standing outside the door, smiled and said: Aiju, please come to the inner room! Please come to the back room!
Aiju bowed deeply and thanked: Thank you, young master! Thanks!
"Aiju, are your injuries healed?" Financial Master Feng asked:
Aiju limped into the house and replied: The injury on my body has healed, but the injury on my foot is fine!
Mr. Feng then said: Aiju, can you go?
or! I'll help you in.
Aiju said: No, I can leave by myself.
The old lady saw Aiju walking in lamely and said: Aiju, what are you! Shouldn't you have come over here to blame me for punishing you?
Aiju reported: Old lady, where did you go? How dare the servant blame the old lady! The servant thanked the old lady for not driving away the slave, giving the slave a chance to breathe. The slave thanked the old lady for the whole family! Thank you, madam, for your kindness! Thank you to the old lady for being able to continue to support your family while this slave is recovering from her injuries.
The old lady said: Aiju, how could I not know who you are?
However, you have to understand that I love you, but it is by no means pampering. I can do anything! Nothing can be done! You'd better think it through beforehand!
Aiju responded: Old madam, I have failed to live up to your expectations.
"Aiju, sit on that chair." Feng Caizhu called:
"Master, that's the chair you're sitting on." Aiju said:
"Aiju, you are injured. The stool you sit on has no backrest..." Feng Caizhu argued:
"Aiju, my son asked you to sit down, just sit down." The old lady shouted:
Aiju said politely: Thank you young master! Thank you, madam!
"Aiju, sit down." Financial Master Feng set up a chair and whispered:
Aiju bent over and sat down.
The old lady continued: I punished you too hard last time and beat you until you are still limping. The third lady is a newcomer in our house.
Although, you are also a newcomer in our house.
But you are older than her, and she still doesn’t understand a lot. You have to guide her, teach her, and make her behave.
But you followed her and acted recklessly. Have you considered the seriousness of this matter? Have you considered my son? Have you considered us! Have you considered other people's opinions?
Aiju knelt on the ground with both legs and choked with sobs: "This slave deserves to die. This slave is unworthy of the old lady."
The old lady called out: Aiju, get up quickly.
"Old madam, young master, are you in the room?" Ah Feng shouted:
The old lady responded: Ah Feng, we are still in the room.
Ah Feng asked: Old madam, why is the door outside not closed?
"A-Feng, I just closed the door, maybe it was blown open by the wind! When you come in, you close the door." Rich Master Feng replied:
"Aiju, you really don't hate me for beating you like this." The old lady said:
Aiju replied: To be honest, it would be a lie to say that I don’t hold grudges.
But think back! It's her fault, and the old lady wants to be punished, which is natural.
"Old madam, young master, don't worry, the third madam is resting in the room." Afeng strode over.
The old lady said: Ah Feng, go and give Aiju a cup of tea.
Aiju then said: Old lady, the weather is so cold, I don’t drink tea.
Ah Feng raised his head and smiled at Aiju.
"Aiju, you haven't seen the third lady in the house yet, have you?" the old lady asked:
Aiju replied: Not yet.
The old lady said: The third lady is very dependent on you. Since you left the house, I have sent people to take care of her many times, but she has sent them back. When I went to talk to her, she always said, "You have to wait for two years." The sky will come back.
No, I asked Ah Feng to visit her every two hours.
Aiju muttered: The third lady has been tired these days.
The old lady said: She is tired, and we are also tired. Since you are here today, go over and talk to her!
Aiju then said: "I will go there after the meeting."
The old lady continued: "You come over and start work right away. You should still serve the third lady."
Aiju replied: No.
The old lady asked: Are you unwilling to serve the third lady?
Aiju said: No, no.
The old lady responded: If not, then I am willing.
Aiju called out: Old lady, my slave’s feet are still lame...
"Aiju, Xiaoya (the third lady) has always been depressed during this period. Please chat with her. I will ask someone to do other things." Rich Master Feng said:
Aiju hesitated and said: This!
Financial Master Feng shouted: "The injury on your foot has not healed and it is inconvenient to travel. I will send someone to pick you up and back."
The old lady said: I have never seen any woman that Guier has been so obsessed with! Considering that Gui'er (Feng Caizhu) is so considerate, you can't shirk it either.
Aiju looked very embarrassed and said: Old lady!
"From now on, I will never dare to give orders again!" the old lady called:
Mr. Feng continued: Mom, you are my biological mother, and whatever you say will always be an order.
The old lady called out: "Guier, you are my spiritual support. Since your father passed away, you have obeyed me in every possible way and have never done anything improper. However, time makes people grow old, and I am no exception." It depends on you young people to continue it, and I don’t have anyone to blame! Or someone to hate! I am happy for you at this moment. You have finally found the person you want to rely on.
Feng Caizhu replied: Mother, do you admit Xiaoya...
"I have never had any doubts about her. All my dissatisfaction with her comes from hating iron for not being able to become steel." The old lady interrupted:
Mr. Feng said excitedly: Great.
Aiju thanked: Thank you, old lady! Thank you, Master! I would like to thank you on behalf of the third lady!
"Old madam, Master Feng, you are out for dinner!" Bob shouted:
Ah Feng responded: Bob, we understand.
The old lady said: Aiju, let’s wait in the hall first!
Aiju said: Old madam, you go to the hall first, and I will invite the third lady to dinner.
The old lady shouted: Aiju, you can't even walk well, how could I let you go and invite me!
"A-Feng, go and invite the third lady to the hall for dinner." The old lady ordered:
Ah Feng ran towards the third lady's room.
Panting, she ran to the third lady's room and muttered: We're here.
She shouted: Third Madam, Third Madam, you have come out to eat.
The third lady replied: Ah Feng, please go back! I told Bob that I'm not hungry, so I won't eat lunch...
"Third Madam, are you sure you don't want to eat?" Afeng responded:
The third lady then continued: I ate too much for breakfast and my stomach is still full...
"Forget it if you don't want to eat. I'll tell Aiju when I go back. It's a good thing she didn't come over. Otherwise, her trip would have been in vain." Afeng said:
"Pong" The door of the third lady's room was firmly open.
The third lady said: Ah Feng, where is Sister Aiju!
Ah Feng replied: Aiju is waiting in the lobby.
The third lady closed the door and ran to the hall happily.
"Third Madam, Third Madam, please go slowly." Afeng shouted:
"Aiju, sister Aiju, why don't you go see me when you arrive at the house!" The third lady stood at the door of the hall and shouted:
She stepped into the hall and saw the old lady sitting above.
She hurriedly walked over and said, "Mom, be safe!" Please forgive Xiaoya for being rude!
The old lady said: "Xiaoya, you're welcome!" It’s great if Xiaoya is here! You sit down quickly.
Mr. Feng helped the third lady sit down.
The third lady sat on the stool and said politely: Mr. Sir, you also sit down.
She raised her head, anxiously looking for Aiju's location.
Aiju called out: Third Madam!
The third lady looked around, but did not see Aiju standing in her original position.
She turned around sharply and saw Aiju sitting behind the table.
She rushed over and hugged Aiju, with tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
"Mother! Mother! Be well!" The eldest lady and the second lady walked into the hall.
The old lady then said: Sit down, sit down.
"First madam, second madam, and the two young madams, are well"! Aiju walked over slowly and asked:
The eldest lady smiled and said: Aiju, you are here.
The second lady smiled and said: Ha! ha! ha! Aiju is like the rower...
"The boatman who rows the boat bumps and bumps when he walks. It's very funny and funny." The second lady joked:
The old lady shouted: Fen'er (Second Madam), shut up, do you want to experience Aiju's walking posture!
The second lady covered her mouth with her hands and quietly sat aside.
"Everyone, sit down quickly! Let's talk after we finish our meal!" Mr. Feng shouted:
"What Gui'er said is very true. Food in winter cools down quickly. After everyone has finished eating, chat again." The old lady said:
After a while, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another.
Mr. Feng said: "Uncle Ping, please send the food to Aiju's family quickly."
Ping Bo replied: Yes.
Aiju interrupted: Master, it is a great gift from heaven for Aiju to be able to sit at the table and eat today. The food that my family eats should be delivered by me...
"Aiju, you are still showing off at this time. Xiaoya and you haven't seen each other for a while. Please go over and have a few words with Xiaoya." Feng Caizhu shouted:
"That's right! Sister Aiju, don't even think about walking!" The third lady said with joy on her face:
The second lady's face was so long.
The servants left one after another.
"I'm sorry! Third Madam, I have to go back to change the dressing." Aiju thought about it and apologized:
The third lady called out: Sister Aiju, I haven’t seen you for a while, why are you hiding from me?
Aiju argued: I didn’t hide, I still need to apply medicine on my feet.
The third lady lowered her head and whispered: Okay! Let’s talk some other time.
The old lady said: Xiaoya doesn’t have to be like this! Aiju will come to accompany you every day.
The third lady smiled and said: Really.
"The old lady is right, I will come to accompany you every day from now on." Aiju continued:
"Okay! I have a lot to say to Sister Aiju." The third lady responded:
"Xiaoya, are you happy now!" Feng Caizhu called:
The third lady replied: I am happy.
Aiju moved her steps and thanked: Thank you, madam! Thank you, Mr. Feng! Thank you young ladies! Thanks!
