Li Ran didn't have dinner outside. Seeing that it was almost the same time as supper, she quit Taonong and went back to Chang'an Hou Mansion.

Before he entered Cuiweiju, Li Ran felt something was wrong.

The two courtyard doors of Cuiweiju have always been open to the largest, but now, one of the two courtyard doors is covered.

As she stepped onto the steps, the door she covered opened opened, and an old woman showed up from the opened courtyard door and stood with her hands down.

Li Ran looked at the old lady for a long time. She seemed to have never seen this old lady before. Could it be that there were other people in the yard and guests were coming?

The two eyes Li Ran looked at her did not affect her steps. She did not pause at all, and walked through the corridor and under the Chuhuamen.

She entered the drooping flower door, and a little girl came out of her upper room. She stood at the door of the upper room with her hands and head down. She opened a curtain when she was two or three steps away from the upper room.

Li Ran stood at the door of the upper room and turned around and looked at the small yard.

It was exactly the same as when she left in the afternoon.

Li Ran looked at Zhou E who had already walked to the backyard, stood at the door of the upper room, and looked into the room first. The room was empty and there were no guests.

Li Ran entered the house, and the little girl followed her, and also entered the house, standing at the door with her hands hanging down.

In addition to the little girl who was holding the curtain, there was also a girl of seventeen or eighteen who was a little ill. Li Ran looked back at the little girl who was holding the curtain, and she was also a little ill.

Of course, in her yard, except Qiuyue and two or three other little girls she doesn't know what she calls them, if there are other big girls and little girls, they will be full of eyes.

But why did this look come to you?

The older girl stepped forward with her eyebrows down and her eyes lowered. Before Li Ran was a little stunned, she pulled away the cloak tie on her body and took it off for her.

Li Ran watched the big girl with her cloak and retreat, standing in the middle of the room, carefully looking at the three rooms she was already very familiar with.

Hardware or those hardware.

The pot of daffodils on the high table next to the warm kang, which had drooping flowers and leaves disappeared, and they changed into a pot of dripping spider plants.

On the other hand, in the big vase, after the plum blossoms fell, only the dead branches were gone, and a simple white jade incense burner was replaced. At this moment, the incense burner was radiating out, with blue smoke that seemed to be there and not existed.

Li Ran approached, raised her hand and slapped her a few strands and smelled it. She couldn't smell what the fragrance was. It had the fragrance of flowers and fruits, which was very fresh and good to smell.

On the long desk under the east window, the half-dead basin of daffodils was gone. There were simple stones covered with moss. In the stone nest, a bush of gold and calamus was very green.

Li Ran looked at it for a moment, raised her hand and pinched half of the fine calamus leaves, crushed them at her fingertips, and smelled them, and the faint fragrance.

What happened?

Li Ran sat on the kang and the big girl who was holding the cloak with her cloak had already come in. The two little girls following behind, one holding a basin and the other holding a pot of zippers.

Li Ran looked at the three of them one by one and sat on the kang. The girl bent her knees and stepped forward to lift her sleeves for Li Ran.

Li Ran knelt in front of her and raised her basin. When she saw the big girl who was going to wash her hands, she waved her fingers, reached into the basin, and washed her hands by herself.

She is not used to being treated so carefully.

What happened? Was it because of her illness?

Li Ran slowly washed her hands and thought absent-mindedly.

………………………………………

Zhou E entered the backyard, stood up, and looked at the house next to her, the house that was originally closed. At this moment, the door of the house was half open, and it was obvious that someone had lived in it.

Zhou E was hesitating whether to go over and take a look. When the corner door of the backyard was opened, an old woman in her fifties with extremely ordinary face and clothes came in.

Zhou E's eyebrows were raised high, and after a moment, she took a few steps forward and bowed to the end, "You are here."

"Hello General Zhou, I'll come and stay for a while." The old woman smiled, with kind eyebrows and bent her knees at Zhou E for half a salute.

"The girl's food is delivered. I'll go over to serve first. After a while, we'll talk."

The old woman politely explained a few words and then walked forward.

Qiuyue, who had been following the old woman, hesitated for a moment, and did not go forward with the old woman. She glanced at the old woman and entered the Yuedong Gate, grabbed Zhou E, and asked anxiously: "Aunt Zhou, do you know her? Why haven't I seen her before? She came as soon as you left. It was her second grandma who brought her. The second grandma said that her surname was Fu, and she said again, asking me to listen to Madam Fu in the future and leave!

I went to find the old lady, and the old lady said, "Hasn't the second grandma told you?"

You say this, this is called..." Qiuyue didn't dare to say this, and she didn't dare to say this to the old lady.

"Aunt Zhou, you said..."

"Since the second grandma has explained, the old lady has also explained. You can follow the instructions from the second grandma and the old lady.

Isn’t this just right? I’ve come to be the master of the family. Haven’t you been hoping that someone will stand ahead for you? Now, you don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

Zhou E's voice sounded very pleasant, and she was slapping the autumn moon while talking.

"It's time to eat. I don't know what delicious food is today. I'm a little hungry."

Zhou E said, with her hands behind her back, she walked out of the corner door and went to the kitchen to have a meal with brisk steps.

………………………………………

I don’t know if it was Li Ran’s illusion. Although today’s supper is still a dish similar to the usual, it has a clear difference between large and high-quality goods compared to the usual.

The same portion of stir-fried cabbage was fried. It used to be fried, and the shredded cabbage was flooded in the vegetable water. Today, the heat is obviously right. There is no trace of vegetable juice on the plate. The shredded cabbage is crispy and tender, and there is also a tempting vinegar aroma that seems to be there or not.

Li Ran lowered her eyes and slowly ate and tasted this fine rice.

After dinner, she sat on the kang for the first time. The big girl and the little girl rinsed her mouth with water and tea. After taking the cup of tea, Li Ran looked at the old woman standing in the door with her hands hanging down and smiling.

Facing Li Ran's gaze, the old woman smiled and bent her knees, "Report to the girl, the little woman's surname is Fu, I received the order and came to serve the girl."

"Thank you." Li Ran straightened up and owed her solemnly.

The changes she saw in her eyes should have all come from this Madam Fu. I don’t know whose order she received.

Li Ran's eyes drooped, sipped tea, hesitated for a while, but still didn't ask.

Judging from these changes, the old lady and her commanded her must not be the old lady and her wife.

Is it Chang'an Hou? Most likely not... Well, let's take a look first.

What is the difference between asking clearly or not asking clearly? No matter who ordered it, she was not free to say no.

She didn't have much curiosity.

Madam Fu looked at Li Ran siping tea, looked at the book with her eyes down, quietly exited, and checked in the tea room next to her.

Zhou E slowly ate a good meal, drank a few cups of tea, ordered two bottles of good wine, carried it back to Cuiweiju, entered her house, and first looked into Madam Fu's house.

When Madam Fu went back from the front, Zhou E had slowly finished drinking half a bottle of wine. When she heard the footsteps, she hurriedly stretched out her head and looked out. Seeing that it was Madam Fu, she hurried into the house to pick up the wine, took two cups, and followed Madam Fu into the next door.

"I didn't expect it was you." Zhou E didn't have to be polite to Madam Fu, and sat down on the chair in front of the kang, put the cup, and was about to pour wine, Madam Fu waved her hand and said, "I won't drink when I'm on duty, you can drink it yourself."

"Then I drink it myself, you are a person of particularity." Zhou E didn't say much, and poured herself wine. While siping, she looked at Madam Fu and asked, "I've been waiting by the side? How about it?"

Madam Fu's mouth moved down and shook her head.

"This girl is actually not difficult to serve at all, she is very easy-going." Zhou E hurriedly put down her cup and explained.

"You don't understand." Madam Fu washed her hands, brewed a cup of light tea, and sat on the kang. "If she is really picky, she is not hard to serve, then it's easy to serve. The most feared thing is that she doesn't care about anything."

"Yes, I really don't understand the matter of serving people." Zhou E didn't understand, and she recognized it very simply. She really didn't understand, and she didn't want to understand. "Where is that girl Qiuyue? Keep it? I see that there are several new faces in this yard."

"That's a silly girl.

I asked her how the girl got sick and how she got better. When she said that the girl's eyes were sunken, her tears fell. With this kind of tears, she could be left.

Besides, she was pointed out by the old lady in this mansion. As soon as I arrived, I would withdraw her. This is not good.

I picked a few more people, but it wasn't enough, so I have to pick some more tomorrow.

In this yard, there are only four girls, including two mothers and two slutty girls in the yard. How can you take care of this? Even the queues are not fully equipped, alas."

Madam Fu drank tea and spoke softly, and at the end she sighed.

"This girl can do everything by herself, just like us who are in the army. Also, she is very patient. I have never seen anyone who can stand her better than her." Zhou E sighed while drinking wine.

"I can see it. Alas, this one is a little harder than not caring about everything. She is a very rare person who speaks. She looks scheming and has no mood to show her emotions. Alas, just brewing tea, I can't see it clearly, and I don't know how to touch her spleen and stomach if I have ten days or half a month."

Madam Fu sighed a few times, looking quite worried.

Zhou E looked at Madam Fu and giggled for a moment, "It's rare to see you being so worried about serving people. I tell you, she really doesn't care about this tea."

Zhou E bowed forward, earnestly and solemnly.

"I've been with her these days, she can drink any kind of tea, and the same is true for white water. She never cares about hot and cold. She blew it when it's hot and cold, and drink it when it's cold. It's really the same as our soldiers. It's enough to drink it. What's the point?

I see if she drinks those teas, it’s not because of tea, but only looking at whether she is thirsty or not.

Also, she is very restrained and drinks slowly no matter how thirsty she is. You know, like when we fight a war and come back alive, it is most taboo to drink and eat wildly.

No matter how thirsty she is, as long as she drinks almost the same, she will stop drinking it. It’s rare.”

"You can't think so." Madam Fu listened carefully to Zhou E's words, frowned even more, and sighed again, "Because she doesn't care, the waiter doesn't have to be careful? If this is the case, wouldn't this waiter become a move and move, and if he doesn't move, he won't move? Is this still called a waiter?"

"That's the same." Zhou E frowned, thought about it carefully, and looked at Madam Fu sympathetically, "If you say that, it's really difficult for you to do this, it's not ordinary."

Zhou E thought about it again and sighed for Madam Fu.

………………………………………

Li Ran lay on the bed, listening intently to the movements outside.

Before going to bed, the Madam Fu said: Xiaoyun is light-hearted and let her sit outside for one night tonight. If no one is sent to the house, everyone will be in the backyard and the front yard, which is too far away. If the girl has something to do at night, she will be afraid that she will not be called in the short time. If that is the case, it will be a big deal.
