At noon on the 13th, a thick layer of fog filled the sky.
The third lady stood in front of the window and said: The fog is too heavy today, and it is still such a heavy fog at this time.
Aiju continued: In late autumn, it is like this every day.
"Sister Aiju said it too abstractly. Autumn is mainly sunny. As the saying goes, it doesn't mean: Autumn is high and the air is crisp. It means the weather is dry in autumn." The third lady responded:
"It's true that the air is crisp in autumn, but in late autumn, it's more rainy." Aiju replied:
"Ouch!" The third lady leaned forward.
"I'm sorry, Third Madam! The servant didn't catch the ball and let the ball hit Third Madam." Nanny Li bowed:
The third lady patted her pants and replied: It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
Aiju said: You go over there and play, so as not to let the ball hit anyone.
"I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm going to play here." Xiao Lanlan hid her feet and shouted:
The third lady said: Lan'er, you have to listen to your aunt. You and your brother go over there to play.
Xiao Lanlan pouted and replied: I won't go.
"If you don't go, I'll beat you!" The third lady shouted with a face on her face:
Nanny Li picked up Xiao Lanlan and walked aside.
Aiju called out: Third Madam, you can't be so cruel to Xiao Lanlan! If you treat her like this, she will slowly alienate you.
"Sister Aiju, you can't pamper a child all the time. The more you pamper her, the more she will take advantage of you." The third lady replied:
Aiju said: What the third lady said is not unreasonable.
However, Xiao Lanlan was originally Miss Feng Mansion...
"Sister Aiju, are you worried about my husband..."
Aiju shouted: Third Madam, there is something I don’t know! What should I say to you!
"Sister Aiju, what's the matter with you? You can just tell me! You don't have to meet me!" The third lady responded:
Aiju looked at the third lady and said: Let's talk in the back room.
The third lady called: Sister Aiju, let's go out for a walk.
Aiju went to help the third lady.
The third lady shouted: Sister Aiju, I will go by myself.
The third lady walked out of the room and asked: Sister Aiju, what is so mysterious! Do you have to tell them behind their backs?
Aiju closed her mouth and limped away.
The third lady said: Sister Aiju, you keep things in your heart and don’t tell anyone, I think this matter...
"Sister, how is your relationship with the young master recently?" Aiju asked:
The third lady then said: Wow!
Aiju asked: Then, did you follow him?
She leaned into the ear of the third lady and said: Do you guys sleep together?
"Sister Aiju, you confused my sister, why did you say such things..."
Aiju said seriously: Sister, answer me.
"Sister Aiju, you see him coming out of my room every day, how can we not share the same bed!"
Aiju thought: This is strange.
"Sister Aiju, what's the problem?"
Aiju continued: I can't tell, it always feels weird.
"Tell me where the blame lies! See if I can guess the truth." The third lady replied:
Aiju asked: After you gave birth to Xiao Lanlan, you had Xiao Kai'er. Now it has been two years since you gave birth to Xiao Kai'er, but there is no movement from you. Don't you think it's suspicious?
"Sister Aiju, you have been thinking about it for a long time, and it turns out that it is because of this matter. I can tell you that you don't have to worry about anything! First, as my husband's age increases, his physical, especially physiological , will show a downward trend. Secondly, my body is not as good as before. In addition, this kind of thing-it is not something I can control." The third lady replied:
Aiju frowned and said: I hope I am worrying too much!
"Sister Aiju, don't worry so much all day long! You should smile and look at the beautiful scenery outside the pond..." The third lady called:
Aiju pulled the third lady and said with a smile: Sister, you live a happy life, I am happier than anything else!
The third lady hugged Aiju and said coquettishly: Sister Aiju, it’s great to have you, you are my happiness.
Aiju replied: Sister, are you stupid? The young master is your happiness, your son and daughter are your happiness...
"That's different." The third lady hugged Aiju tightly and interrupted:
"Sister, it's time to eat. Let's go over and eat!" Aiju said blankly:
The third lady responded: It's still early! Bob hasn't come over yet to ask us to eat.
"Sister, you are now the head of the house. You have to be more active in everything. You cannot be the same as in the past - free and undisciplined." Aiju argued:
The third lady let go of Aiju and replied: Sister Aiju, let's go.
Aiju called out: Sister, please walk slowly.
"Hello, third lady! This old slave just came to invite the two ladies to dinner. I didn't think..." Bob said politely:
The third lady then said: Bob is polite, you go call the second sister, we will go there right away.
Bob bowed and said: "Old slave, I'm leaving."
The eldest lady stood in the middle of the hall and asked: Xiaohong, what day is today?
Xiaohong responded: Today is September 13th of the lunar calendar.
"Time flies so fast! My nephew has been back for more than half a month." The eldest lady said:
Xiaohong said: Madam, you miss your mother’s family, don’t you?
"So what if you think about it! Things have changed in my mother's family." The eldest lady continued:
"Sister, don't be sad! Your mother's family also has two younger brothers. They have both returned to the right path. You have to be happy for them." The third lady strode across the threshold.
The eldest lady thanked: Thank you, Third Sister!
Remember! Third sister had advised me not to feel sorry for them, but now it seems that every word of what third sister said was true.
It’s just that my parents—we are completely separated from each other.
"Sister, please sit down." The third lady supported the eldest lady and called:
The eldest lady took the third lady's hand and said with a smile: My good sister.
"Ouch! You must be asking for something to please me so much!" The second lady was helped into the hall by Qiaoer.
The eldest lady responded: "Second sister, why are you talking!" Third sister is the head of our house, she can't handle anything by herself! You still need my permission!
"I said the wrong thing, I slapped my mouth, I slapped my mouth." The second lady kept slapping her mouth.
The third lady shouted: Second sister, what are you doing!
My husband is not at home during this period. We sisters should work together to take care of this family. We should not worry about trivial matters...
"I care about everything, but you fart." The second lady scolded:
"Mom, who are you scolding?" Xue'er ran into the house to protect the third lady.
The third lady said: Second sister, I didn’t say you were fussy about everything.
"You didn't say that I care about everything. Could it be that I falsely accused you! Everyone has ears, so let's talk." The second lady responded:
The eldest lady replied: Second sister, can you say a little less, the hall is full of people, you and third sister are arguing like this, don't you feel embarrassed!
The second lady sat down and said: Qiao'er, go and help me serve the rice.
The third lady shouted: Bob, dinner is ready!
The servants became busy.
Xueer called out: Aunt Aiju, let me help Sanniang serve the rice.
Aiju smiled and said: Okay!
"Second Madam, your rice." Qiaoer brought a bowl of rice and called:
The second lady stared at Xueer and shouted: Xueer, help me put a bowl of rice.
Xueer replied: Qiaoer served you the food you ate.
The second lady said: "Qiao'er is ready, you can serve it again."
"It's too much, can you eat it? If I serve it more! Wouldn't it be a waste!" Xue'er replied:
The second lady sneered: What a good daughter! I gritted my teeth and gave birth to you, it’s not as close as an outsider...
"Who is an outsider! She is my third wife." Xueer said:
The second lady argued: You have your third wife in your eyes, but you don’t have me as your biological mother. You can turn a deaf ear to my words...
"Second sister, according to your logic, third sister and I can't even talk to Xue'er." The eldest lady shouted:
The second lady responded: Sister, that’s not what I meant.
"That's not what you mean! What do you mean?" The eldest lady asked:
The second lady replied: Uh...
"Xue'er, go and help your mother serve the rice." The third lady called:
Xueer went to the table to get her rice bowl.
The second lady slapped the table and said: Eat, eat, eat, eat whatever you want! I won't eat this kind of begged meal.
The eldest lady shouted: "Second sister, your words are getting more and more outrageous. Xue'er is so kind and kind to help you serve food. Just forget it if you don't appreciate it. You still say such things to make her angry. How can our house be so poor!" One needs to beg for a bowl of rice.
"Sister, I never said that." The second lady continued:
"Sisters, you eat the food." The third lady shouted:
The eldest lady smiled and said: "Third sister, you eat."
The third lady picked up a fish and called out: Xueer, eat this.
Xueer thanked: Thank you Sanniang!
The third lady said: Xueer, eat quickly.
"Second sister, you, Xue'er, are getting more and more beautiful. No wonder my nephew is obsessed with her." The eldest lady looked at Xue'er intently.
"Sister, what you said is true! If Ruan Liang was obsessed with Xue'er, how could he not come to see Xue'er for ten days or half a month!" The second lady sneered:
The eldest lady responded: "Second sister, my parents' home is not one or two steps away from here. It will take some time for Ruan Liang to rush home. After he returns home, he has things waiting for him to deal with."
I believe he will be back soon.
"Sister, what you say is true." The second lady continued:
The eldest lady replied: Absolutely serious.
"Sanniang, you eat while I go play with my brother and sister." Xueer put the bowl and said:
The third lady shouted: Xueer, you are full so quickly.
Xueer stood up and ran, calling: I'm full.
The second lady saw Xueer's leaving back and said: This girl is just like crazy - no big or small.
"Second sister, I think Xue'er is very good, even better than my Xi'er!" said the eldest lady:
Xueer ran to the door of the third lady's room and shouted: Nanny Zhu, please open the door.
Nanny Zhu replied: Miss Xueer, wait a minute!
Xue'er wiped her face and muttered: I'm so annoyed.
"Miss Xue'er, please come in!" Nanny Li opened the door and asked:
Xueer got into the house and shouted: Brother, sister, have you had enough to eat?
"Sister Zhu is still feeding the young master and the others inside." Nanny Li responded:
"Sister Xue'er, my brother and I are both eating fish." Xiao Lanlan replied:
Xueer ran to Xiao Lanlan and teased: Sister Lan, give it to me.
"I won't give it." Xiao Lanlan turned her face away and said:
Xue'er had a sullen face and called out: Sister Lan, you are so stingy, your sister won't even give you anything.
"Sister, sister, I'll give it to you to eat." Feng Kai held a chicken bone and pushed Xue'er.
Xueer squatted down and said with a smile: Kaidi, you can eat it by yourself. My sister has eaten it in the hall.
"Sister Xue'er, here it is for you to eat." Xiao Lanlan handed over a chicken drumstick.
Xueer responded: I don't want it, Sister Lan is so stingy, I will never eat your food again.
Feng Kai added some fish bones and said: Sister Lan is stingy! Cheapskate!
Xiao Lanlan looked at Xueer and cried: I am not stingy, I am not a stingy person.
"Miss Lan'er, if you don't cry, nurse will feed you!" Nurse Li advised:
Xiao Lanlan held her rice bowl and cried: Wow wow wow...
"Miss Lan'er, if you cry again, your brother will eat your fish." Nanny Zhu said:
Xiao Lanlan wiped her eyes and shouted: I don't allow him to eat.
"Then you eat it." Nanny Zhu picked up a piece of fish tail and continued:
Xiao Lanlan replied: I don’t, wuwuwu...
"Sister Lan, if you don't eat, I won't play with you anymore." Xueer shouted:
Xiao Lanlan sucked in tears and choked: I will eat it! I eat!
"Xue'er, I can't tell that Lan'er listens to you very much." The third lady walked into the room and said with a smile:
Xueer turned around and called: Sanniang, you are back.
"Xue'er, you're leaving in such a hurry! You're not even full!" said the third lady:
Xue'er responded: "I'm full."
"Miss Xue'er, there's still food on that big bowl. You and sister Xiao Lanlan - eat some more." Aiju walked in slowly.
Xueer said: How can I be in the mood to eat!
"You are not in the mood!" the third lady replied:
Xue'er continued: "You saw, my mother and aunt sang together, as if they were afraid that I wouldn't be able to get married."
"Xue'er, don't blame your mother! Your mother did it for you too. Then again, every woman will go through this stage. You have to learn to get used to it." The third lady advised:
Xueer sat on the stool and looked aside stupidly...
