"Squeak", in the dim alley, a small wooden door that looked black and bright slowly opened, and a little girl of twelve or thirteen poked out of the door, and the little girl's head looked around, seeing that there was a figure in the agreed place, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and looked carefully.

It seems that he dislikes the weather a little cold, this person keeps walking around in place, his hands are in his sleeves, and his body is hunched over, thinking that it is because the weather is a little cold, and his feet are also stomped on the ground a few times from time to time.

A face is also buried in a thick felt hat, coupled with the dim sky, people can no longer see the expression on his face and the appearance of this person, but there is a red belt around his waist, which is extremely eye-catching at this time.

He stretched out his hand in the direction of the person who came, and saw that the man came out of the hidden place, looked around with a bit of a thief, and then quickly ran into the door opened by the little maid, and the wooden door that seemed to be worth some price was slammed shut.

Outside the door, there are two worlds, the north wind outside the door is small and dim, but the lights are looming inside the door, and the flowers are like a brocade. This is a small yard, but it is very delicate and elegant, the trees in the garden are dredged and the stream is murmuring, which makes people suddenly feel that they have walked to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

When he entered the door, he saw that this person was a little man about fifteen or sixteen years old, he took out the hand in his sleeve and said it on his mouth, and approached the little girl with a delicate face with a flattering smile, and the warm breath caressed the little girl's ear, which made the little girl blush.

"Why did Sister Qing'er only come out now? Let me wait here for a while, but I can't think about it!"

After hearing this, the little girl named Qing'er's face was even more red, and her little face seemed to be dripping, and she lowered her head and walked forward, regardless of whether the people behind her followed or not.

"It's all the time talking, see if I don't wait a while, Mrs., let her tear your mouth. ”

The words that were originally threatening came out of the little girl's mouth, but they looked sour and weak, but there was a hint of flirting and scolding, and the little man didn't think it was a pestle, but walked a few steps quickly to keep up with the little girl's pace, and even reached out and grabbed the little girl's hand.

"Sister, you see that I am so pitiful outside, if you want to open the door in the middle of the night, I am afraid that my fingers are almost frozen, so I miss my sister's tightness, I just hope that you will open the door early and let me come in to get warm!"

Qing'er couldn't catch her hand, it was really shocking to the coolness in her hand, she shook off the hand that grabbed her, and looked around in a panic, only to feel that what came from the palm of her hand was not a cold feeling, but a hot heat.

"Don't be like this, it's not good for people to see it later, if you miss Madame's big thing, you and I won't be able to please it!"

Listening to Qing'er's slightly pleading tone, this person also put away some oily and slippery looks on his face, and took out a hairpin carved from peach wood from his arms and handed it to Qing'er's hand.

"I carved it myself, if I don't dislike it, I will keep it in my hands and play with it, which will be my sister's reparation. ”

The hairpin of this year is not something that can be given away at will, let alone a girl in the mood for love, Qing'er only said "hmm" with her nose when she heard this, but her cheeks were already crimson, and she hesitated slightly, she wanted to return the hairpin to the man, but she felt a little reluctant, and finally put the peach hairpin in her cuffs.

After such a thing, the two of them didn't speak for a while, but they seemed to be full of tacit understanding, giving people a feeling that silence is better than sound at the moment, deliberately avoiding people and walking all the way to the backyard along the quiet path, and in a short time they arrived at the door of a delicate courtyard, and Qing'er led people to the courtyard.

A woman with a delicate face and gorgeous clothes is teasing a little milk baby who is less than a year old with a rattle, seeing that the little milk baby grabs it with her hands, she will move the rattle in her hand away again, and the little milk baby screams "wow".

"Madame!"

Seeing Qing'er come back from the outside, the woman called Madame waved her hand and let the nurse's child hug her, but she turned around and sat on the chair, and the servant maid quickly took a four-sided screen in front of her.

"Call someone in!"

With the voice, the man who came easily walked into the hall, and he didn't look around, but knelt directly to the person behind the square, and kowtowed a few times.

"The fourth servant has seen Madame. ”

As the man who called himself Si'er spoke, he took a letter from his arms and handed it to Qing'er, who was standing aside, and Qing'er took the letter and carefully placed it in the hand of the woman behind the screen.

Instead of looking at the letter in her hand, the lady put the letter on the table, and asked about some other things, looking a little longing and a little faintly excited.

"It's not easy for you to come from afar, so let's talk back. As the words fell, someone moved a stool, and Si'er sat down politely.

"Treasure ...... Is he okay?"

"On weekdays, I follow the young master in the academy, and people are also smart, and I heard the young master say that he can go to the Xiucai exam for a few more years, which is very enviable. ”

……

"What else does the girl have to say?"

The two of them asked and answered, perhaps because they heard a satisfactory reply, and the woman who was called Madame had a satisfied smile on her face, but she asked unintentionally.

"Now the second wife is sick in bed, everything in the second room is in the care of Grandma Li, and the second master is also old now, so it is good to let the master choose a family business for the second master. ”

Si'er didn't answer directly, nor did he ask or answer who the girl was in the lady's mouth, but seemed to be talking about other irrelevant things.

This lady also has a tacit understanding, and she only mentioned it and then diverted the topic, as if the girl in the mouth of the two did not exist.

"I heard that the second master of Nabao is almost seventeen or eighteen this year, and it should be the age to talk about marriage, he is such a character of Zhong Lingdingxiu, I don't know whose girl has the blessing to choose him?"

"It is said that the Xiangyun girl of Shi Hou's family grew up with the second master's childhood sweetheart, and the old lady also likes it very much!"
