The scale of the mansion in Zhuangzi is far less than that in Hangzhou, but the population of the Yuan family is not large, and it is still extraordinarily spacious to live in.
This year, because Gu Chao was pregnant and gave birth to a child, she lived in the courtyard next to the old lady's main house.
After the birth of the twins, the old lady asked someone to open another moon gate between the two courtyards, and she and Gu Chao's mother and son actually lived together.
Doudou soon came to the courtyard of Gu Chao, and the two little guys should have just woken up from a nap at this time, and let their respective nurses be most energetic after feeding, especially Yuan Wei, who loves to cry and quarrel, and can't be quiet for a quarter of an hour.
But today the whole courtyard was very quiet, only a few rough maids were doing things, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
"Grass, come here."
Doudou saw that Cao'er, who was most familiar with him, came out of the small kitchen with a copper kettle, and beckoned to her: "Xiaojing and Xiaowei haven't woken up yet?"
Cao'er used to be a rough little girl, but now she is a few years older and can do things safely, and she was promoted to the old lady's house by Wu's mother to serve.
There are many people in the old lady's house, and after having a twin young master, she is often assigned to Gu Chao's side to do some chores.
She saluted Doudou first, and then whispered: "Early this morning, my cousin and grandmother in Shaoxing Mansion sent a lot of strange gadgets, and the nurse saw that the two little masters liked it, so she teased them, probably because she was happy and delayed some time, so she hasn't woken up yet." ” Doudou walked to the door of the house and opened the curtain to look at it a few times, only to see the two maids guarding the outside room napping with their chins on their chins, she knew that the two younger brothers would not wake up for a while, so she still went to see her grandmother first.
Since becoming a "traitor" that year, Doudou has restrained a lot in front of the old lady, and she is also a big girl, and she speaks and acts very decently.
The eldest maid Mei Xiang Ju Xiang is old, and more than a year ago, the old lady was in charge and promised to marry two stewards, and two of the second-class maids were promoted to serve closely.
At this time, one of them was brushing her slightly sleepy hair, probably because of her age and spring sleepiness, and she dozed off again not long after she got up.
Doudou motioned to the people waiting in the room to keep quiet, and walked gently to the dressing table.
She took the comb in Su Xin's hand, and just swiped it twice on the old lady's sideburns, probably the strength of her hand was different, and the old lady snorted slightly and opened her eyes.
"Why did Sister Yuan come here at this time?"
The old lady took Doudou's little hand and pulled her directly to sit down beside her, and the grandparents and grandchildren were crowded on the dressing stool, which was not too wide.
I hadn't been so close to my grandmother for almost three years, and Doudou seemed to be a little unaccustomed, and her little body stiffened slightly, but it quickly returned to normal.
The old lady couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, Sister Yuan was only more than six years old when she met at the beginning of the year, she was so generous and untwisted in front of her, but now she has become so restrained, although she has grown up according to her own ideas, and she still respects and is filial to herself, but there seems to be a faint barrier between the two.
She picked up the two little cloth tigers that Doudou put on the dresser and said with a smile: "These two gadgets are very exquisitely made, let grandmother guess, we Sister Yuan made them herself."
Doudou's mind is actually far less complicated than the old lady thought, and the destruction of the grandmother's concubine for his father is completely for Yuan Xiang.
And I've grown up, so it's not good to be tired of being coquettish in my grandmother's arms like before.
Although the events of that year were inevitably a little sad, in her mind, the old lady was still the good grandmother who gave her a lot of warmth from the moment they met.
She took the initiative to hold the old lady's arm and said: "Grandmother, where do I have such a great ability, this is what Sister Zhujun helped me make for my younger brothers to play, but it looks like I am pondering it myself, is it better than what others give."
Yuan Jing and Yuan Wei are tigers, the two little cloth tigers do a very good job, and what is even more rare is that there are not too many complicated decorations on it, and there is no need to worry about any small objects being swallowed by children by mistake, obviously it is a lot of effort.
The old lady took Doudou into her arms and said, "Time flies so fast, my sister Yuan is eleven years old, and it's almost time to see others." ” "Grandmother" Doudou is not really ashamed, but grandmother is different from her father after all, and she still doesn't dare to speak indiscriminately about the cheeky words in front of her.
The old lady seems to be bent on her grandson recently, but in fact, she has been thinking about Doudou's matter, more than half a year ago the new emperor ascended the throne, the situation in Da Zhou is completely different from four years ago, is it really to let Sister Yuan She really likes this granddaughter, and she is also very clear about her temperament, it seems that she is looking for a safe family affair for her, and there is nothing wrong with living her life so peacefully and happily.
"Sister Yuan, grandmother is going to Shaoxing Mansion in a few days."
As she spoke, the old lady took out a letter from another box, "This is the letter from your cousin Min today, and my grandmother's cousin has returned to Shaoxing Mansion from Hunan. ” "Your cousin is my aunt and grandmother.
Why don't you take me to say hello to my aunt and grandmother, plus there are so many elders in Shaoxing Mansion, I will definitely be able to receive a lot of gifts.
Doudou knew that her grandmother must want to take her with her, and deliberately made a small fortune fan.
"Okay, grandmother will take you to knock your aunt and grandmother well."
The second granddaughter is still so likeable, and the old lady is reluctant to put down her little hand.
"Sister Yuan, you have studied kung fu with your master for a year, but you haven't seen your hands become rougher, she is indeed much stronger than those guards."
The old lady rubbed the white and tender little hands of Doudouyu, she didn't want to stop her granddaughter from practicing martial arts, and she couldn't understand the level of martial arts, but she must not destroy her hands, after all, a girl's hands are as important as her face.
"My master is naturally better than those guards, but she also said that I only need to practice martial arts for the purpose of strengthening my body, and I don't need to spend too much effort."
Doudou knew what her grandmother liked to hear, so she naturally followed her meaning.
"Well, that's the reason.
A girl's life is a good life for more than ten years before she gets married, so your grandmother doesn't want to interfere too much with what you like to learn and do.
But in order to gain a foothold in your in-laws' family in the future, there are some things that you still need to learn quickly, and those are much more important than your own preferences.
The old lady knew in her heart that her granddaughter actually knew everything, but she couldn't help but remind her a few words.
Isn't it just those who embroider, make clothes and shoes, Doudou knows that her needlework is not as good as that of ordinary five or six-year-old girls, but she just can't raise her interest, but how can her grandmother's words be refuted, she can only say: "Grandmother, I must study hard." ” The old lady nodded with satisfaction, "Go back and let Zhujun pack your luggage for you, and we'll leave in two days." ” t1706231537:
