"γ€žThe fastest update, no pop-ups!

This year, there was a lot of rain in Liaodong, and after entering June, it was almost every day, Huo Xiao went back and forth between Fuwang's Mansion and the Dou family every day, and he also felt a little unruly, so he lived directly in the Dou family's guest room.

Huo Xiao is now almost regarded as his own by Cai Qing and Cai Sang, and the two of them have no scruples at all when they talk and do things in front of him.

It's like this rainy afternoon, in the side room temporarily used as a study, Huo Xiao sat beside Doudou and read the same book with her, but Cai Qing and Cai Sang didn't feel anything wrong at all, and naturally got together to do needlework, without looking at them.

said that he was reading a book with Doudou, Huo Xiao actually didn't read a word, and after sitting for half an hour, he felt that his legs were stiff, stood up, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it over: "Little lentil, take a break and drink saliva." ”

Doudou took the cup and asked, "Brother Che, what time is it?"

Huo Xiao took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "It's almost time for Shen." ”

"Pick green and mulberry, you two also take a break, go to the kitchen and get some snacks to send to the peanut study. "Dou Huasheng's husband is very strict with him, and Doudou will ask people to send some snacks every afternoon, in fact, it is also for their master and apprentice to take a proper rest.

"Bh. Cai Qing responded, put aside the needlework in his hand and stood up.

Cai Sang happened to embroider to the finest point, and he was busy with his head down, and he didn't care about answering at all.

Doudou laughed: "The girl who is so lively and active on weekdays has completely changed her appearance as soon as she starts needlework, I really don't understand what you are thinking, you like to do this." ”

Cai Sang was still concentrating, and Cai Qing had no choice but to answer for her: "The slaves and maids are not doing well in other things, only the needle and thread are barely able to get their hands on it, so don't make fun of the girl." ”

"Then don't bother Cai Sang, you go for a trip alone. Doudou commanded.

"Yes. Cai Qing said and walked out.

Listening to the conversation between the master and servant, it reminded Huo Xiao of the fact that he had asked Doudou to embroider a handkerchief before, and he said slightly: "Little lentil, are you okay with the handkerchief you embroidered for me? I've been waiting for more than a month." ”

Doudou said: "You have been with me every day recently, when did you see me holding a needle and thread?"

Huo Xiao is very dissatisfied, is this trying to repay the debt?

How could Doudou not see what he was thinking, he glanced at him and said: "This girl is true to her word, since you promised it, you will not be repaid, I will definitely embroider it for you before I go back to Shandong, satisfied?" Obviously he is the most untrustworthy person, and he is embarrassed to say himself.

Huo Xiao said: "Then I'll wait, if the embroidery suits my heart, I'll give you a big gift when you celebrate your birthday next month." ”

"Big gift?" Doudou raised his eyebrows: "How big?"

This lentil really didn't know how polite it was, Huo Xiao pulled the corners of his mouth and asked, "How big do you want it to be?"

Doudou put the book down and snorted slightly: "I dare to take as big as you dare to give." ”

Huo Xiao also laughed, the little lentil really has courage.

What's so funny! Doudou pouted secretly: "Then what if I embroider not to your liking?"

Huo Xiao said: "Just do your best." Sure enough, Lentils was most afraid that the gift at hand would fly, so he had to negotiate the conditions with himself in advance.

Doudou curled his mouth: "I always do my best." "As for whether she did her best or didn't do well, she can't be blamed.

Cai Qing quickly sent the dim sum to Dou Huasheng's study, but when he turned back, he met Xiao Ai who came to deliver a message to Doudou at the door of the side hall, and the two walked into QΓΉ together.

When Doudou saw Xiao Ai, she knew that her aunt must have something to look for her, so she said directly: "Is my aunt looking for me something?"

Xiao Ai nodded and replied: "Mrs. just received a letter from the second master in Shandong, so she asked the slave to invite the girl and the young master to come over." ”

"Before, my grandmother said that I would go back after my birthday in Liaodong, how could my father suddenly write a letter?" Doudou said this to Huo Xiao, Xiao Ai naturally did not interject, and stood aside in a proper manner.

Huo Xiao smiled: "What's there to guess about this, just go to my aunt's side and see if you believe it." ”

The two soon followed Xiao Ai to Yuan Hui's house.

Yuan Hui beckoned them to sit down closely, took out an open letter and handed it to Doudou: "Your father's handwritten letter." As he spoke, his eyes were already red.

Doudou's heart tightened, could it be that something happened at home? Hurriedly took the letter and looked at it at a glance.

It turned out that Daddy was trying his best to rush back, although he didn't say the specific reason, but at first glance at his wording, it didn't look like he was in a hurry, and Doudou's heart finally let go.

But a deep sadness rose in her heart, she had only been reunited with her aunt and uncle for a few days, how could she be willing to leave immediately? She raised her head to look at her aunt, and sure enough, Yuan Hui's tears had already flowed.

Huo Xiao was most afraid of seeing such a scene, but he also knew that it was not appropriate for him to speak at this time, just stay by his side silently.

Seeing that her aunt was so sad, Doudou didn't dare to shed tears, she hugged Yuan Hui's shoulders and said, "Auntie has always said that crying shouldn't be my style, why did you cry instead?"

Yuan Hui became more and more sad, and Doudou had no choice but to continue: "I was only six years old that year, and my aunt didn't cry when I left, but now that I'm twelve, my aunt should be more relieved." ”

"Girl with no conscience, you go and ask your uncle, as soon as your carriage moved that year, I almost fainted from crying, but I didn't dare to let you hear it......" Yuan Hui's voice was slurred, but the love gradually calmed down.

Doudou took out a handkerchief and wiped Yuan Hui's tears, "Auntie, I can't bear you either, but my father's letter makes it clear that maybe he will return to Beijing before his term of office expires." After a pause, she said coquettishly: "You often say that I can't do it in terms of rules, now I'm miserable, Grandma Jin must have prepared all the boards." ”

Yuan Hui burst out laughing, stretched out her hand and gently gave Doudou a finger on his forehead: "It will be poor." ”

After that, he stroked Doudou's little face and said, "This time I really want to go back to the Hou Mansion in the capital, and I have to listen to my grandmother in the future." ”

Huo Xiao saw that Yuan Hui was steady, so he interjected: "Auntie, don't worry, although the second cousin asked my sister to go back to Shandong, it is not possible to make the trip in a day or two, you can talk to your sister slowly if you have something to say." ”

Yuan Hui nodded and said, "Yes, my aunt is in a hurry, but in this way, the time is a little tight, I have to hurry up and arrange it." ”

Doudou was puzzled: "What does my aunt want to arrange?"

Huo Xiao tugged at her sleeve and said with a smile: "Such a clever person suddenly became stupid, my aunt must want to pack some gifts for you to bring back to your grandmother." ”

Doudou remembered the five-horse cart full of things when he came, and couldn't help but shudder, this time he must have to go back slowly and leisurely, and he couldn't hurry up.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Huo Xiao smiled at Yuan Hui and said, "Don't worry about going back to Shandong, auntie, I'll arrange it." I happen to be going back to the capital recently, so I can give my sister a ride. ”

Yuan Hui was completely relieved at this time: "Your kid is both stable and capable, and it would be great to be able to give Doudou a ride." (To be continued.) )
