Chapter 151 Li'er

After saying this, Li'er leaned forward and lowered her voice and said, "Miss, it's better, even if it's simpler. I hope you can prepare meals for her. Her skills for those chefs..."

Li'er said, and glanced at Liang Zhangzhang, who was standing in front of the chopping board in the center of the kitchen and was working hard to chop the meat. The large basin of roasted meat on the side trembled as the board shaking, as if oil could drip out.

Seeing her eyes, Hua Mian understood and smiled, "I know, I will definitely find time to prepare, so let the poster rest assured."

At the time of Mao, I asked Li'er to go to Huamian yesterday. Although the message he brought back made Sikong Yu feel at ease, the breakfast served was really bleak compared to daily life.

"Miss Huamian means that today is the first day of the Lanqiu Festival. Miss Shen Shi must get up and prepare, and it is not easy to eat heavy food before going to bed."

"...That's right" but this is too light. A casserole of porridge, a plate of vegetables, a few cakes, and the maids in the building all eat better than this.

"Miss Hua Mian said..." Li'er suddenly looked serious and picked up the wine pot and glass on the table and took it to the tray next to her.

"It is not easy to drink before going to bed. During the Lanqiu Festival, she will be on the flower table every day and has no time to make sober soup for the lady."

"Just drink one pot, just one pot"

Sikong Yu had a pitiful expression on his face. Not allowing her to drink was as serious as forbidding her to eat sweets. Li'er had no chance to ask Sikong Yu, so she picked up the tray and turned around to send it out.

Seeing that Li'er was about to take away the wine, Sikong Yu stood up and returned to his original voice and called "Li'er".

Li'er paused and slowly turned around with a tray.

"It's...Sixth Master"

This was agreed upon by the two when they left Sikong Mansion. As long as Sikong Yu returned to his original identity, Li'er's name would return to thirteen years ago.

Thirteen years ago, Li'er, who was only eight years old, was sent to Sikong Mansion. At that time, Li'er was not as high as the base of the stone lion in front of the mansion. Li'er's parents rented the fields in Sikong Mansion in the countryside and relied on the weather to make a living.

Farmers are extremely susceptible to the weather.

Li'er still remembers clearly that the rain was too heavy that year, and many crops in the fields were flooded. The only boy in the family worked as an apprentice in the shop in the city. He had no income yet. Seeing the time when he paid the rent, the family almost sold food.

But I still couldn't make up the money to pay the rent. Although the mansion sent someone to pass the message and told the tenants not to worry. The rent was cut in half this year, Li'er's parents still sent her in after listening to the advice of the township doctor.

Sikong Mansion.

The elderly village doctor pinched Li'er's thin arm and said to her father, "The child is too thin. If you continue to stay, you not only have to divide the food, but you are afraid you will go hungry together. It doesn't matter if the adults are suffering, but the child is still young.

If this continues, your body will probably not be able to hold on."

In my memory, my father held the pickaxe in his hand tightly, while Li'er's mother sat aside and remained silent. The young Li'er looked at her parents, then turned to look at the old man bent beside her.

"When the child goes to the mansion, he can have enough food. Maybe he can have some extra money every month to supplement the family income. Several young masters and ladies in the mansion, who are of the same age as this child, are always very tolerant to the children who enter the mansion."

After hearing the words of the village doctor, Li'er's father felt relieved, "The countryside children are ignorant, so I have to take care of them more."

Seeing her husband agreeing, Li'er's mother threw down the work she had in her hand, hugged Li'er, buried her head in the child's neck and shed tears silently.

"Mom, what are you doing? You made me itchy"
