Chapter 43: The Kite

Gu Xiao nodded, but his feet didn't move, he only stretched his neck, trying to see Li Xiaonuan who was sleeping with his face inward and tightly wrapped in the quilt.

"Young master, wait outside, don't wake up the girl!"

Xiaoyu urged, Gu Xiao was about to go out, Li Xiaonuan suddenly turned over and sat up.

Gu Xiao bloomed with a smile on his face,

"Nuan Nuan, you're awake!"

Li Xiaonuan looked at him with a straight face, when Gu Xiao came in, she had been awake for a while, and she was lazily lying on the bed enjoying this rare leisure, Gu Xiao's footsteps, Xiaoyu's words, she heard it clearly.

Gu Xiao sat sideways on the edge of the bed, looked at Li Xiaonuan carefully, and said with a smile:

"Nuan Nuan, you look fine, in the past two days, I have been so worried, I'm afraid that you will be too sad and cry badly."

Li Xiaonuan's face gradually softened, tilted his head to look at Gu Xiao, thought for a moment, stared at Gu Xiao and said solemnly:

"Gu Xiao, you shouldn't have broken into my house like this!"

Gu Xiao was stunned, raised his hand and scratched his head, Li Xiaonuan sighed helplessly, and then said:

"Didn't Master tell you about etiquette? Men and women are seven years old, and this year, I am seven years old...... If you are eight years old, you will be eleven years old this year! Even if the family doesn't have to be so strict, it's not appropriate for you to come here recklessly, if you let someone with a heart see it, it will hurt your reputation! ”

Gu Xiao was inexplicable,

"Hurt my reputation?"

Li Xiaonuan nodded,

"And mine!"

Gu Xiao scratched his head, nodded suspiciously for a while, stood up and looked at Li Xiaonuan, and said good-naturedly:

"Nuan Nuan, you're right! Then I'll wait for you outside. ”

Li Xiaonuan smiled and nodded, Gu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, bent his eyes and went out with a smile.

Li Xiaonuan washed up, changed his clothes and came out, Gu Xiao hurriedly threw down the book in his hand, looked at Li Xiaonuan and said with a smile on his face:

"Yesterday, Mama Zhou sent seven or eight big kites in, and the kites are so good-looking, you must like Nuan Nuan!"

Li Xiaonuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly rubbed in front of the window, pushed open the window and looked out, it was already sunset outside.

"Alas!"

Li Xiaonuan let out a long sigh, turned his head to look at Gu Xiao and said:

"It's late today, tomorrow afternoon, when you come back from learning to draw, let's finish the window class quickly, and go to the back garden to fly kites, okay?"

"Good!"

Gu Xiao agreed heavily, Li Xiaonuan reached out and took the book that Gu Xiao had just thrown aside, glanced at him, and said with a smile:

"I'm going to check how you've memorized this book these days!"

The two laughed and memorized the book for a while, and after a while, it was time for the end of the Shen Dynasty to get up and go to Ruixuan Hall for dinner.

The next day, Li Xiaonuan got up early, and together with Gu Xiao, went to study at Mr. Wang's place as usual.

After eating at noon, everyone rinsed their mouths, the little girls came up with tea, Gu Xiao squeezed to Mrs. Li's side, and asked with a smile:

"Ancestor, when I finish learning to paint, I want to go to the garden with Nuan Nuan to fly kites!"

Old Madam Li smiled and was about to speak, Gu Yun raised her eyebrows and became excited,

"Ancestor, I'm going too!"

Gu Yunshan glanced at her,

"Didn't we say that we would check the warehouse with those housekeepers in the afternoon? When do you fly a kite? ”

Gu Yunhuan pouted and stood up, didn't look at Gu Yunshan, walked straight to the couch, sat down next to Old Madam Li, and begged coquettishly:

"Ancestor, I'm going too!"

Old Madam Li laughed, pointed at Gu Yunshan and said:

"You can go with your brothers and sisters, it's a good day today, just fly a kite!" The storehouse is there, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, you can check it any day! This March day of kite flying, but there is one less than one! ”

Gu Yunshan pouted and said angrily:

"The old ancestor is playing with them!"

Old Madam Li smiled and waved her hand,

"It's all kids, if you want to play, go play for a while!"

Gu Xiao smiled so much that his eyes were bent into crescents, he retreated, and pulled Li Xiaonuan to run out, Gu Yunhuan's eyes were shining, he looked at Gu Yunshan proudly, and said anxiously:

"Ancestor, the big kites that Mama Zhou gave me yesterday are all good-looking, I'll go back and get the kites! Our ancestors also came to see us to play kites! Mother is coming, too! ”

Gu Yun turned around happily and greeted Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou glanced at Mrs. Li helplessly, looked at Gu Yunshan again, waved her hand and said:

"Go, go."

Gu Xiao dragged Li Xiaonuan back to Songfeng Courtyard, and Ju Ying had already sent someone to pack up the burden of the painting utensils and wait for Gu Xiao in Songfeng Courtyard.

Gu Xiao took the burden, thought about it, turned his head and instructed the little girl who sent the burden,

"You go back and tell Sister Juying to ask her to send all the kites that Mama Zhou sent in yesterday to Songfeng Courtyard."

Gu Xiao turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, bent his eyes and said with a smile:

"I'll come to you after I learned to draw, you pick the one you like first."

Li Xiaonuan opened her mouth, thought about it, and only smiled and nodded.

Gu Xiao carried his burden and went to the front yard, Li Xiaonuan stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching him walk away, and then slowly swayed back to the yard, and followed him into the house with a gloomy face at the end of winter.

Li Xiaonuan leaned on the couch in the east wing, slowly straightened the silk thread, put it on the flower bandage to match the color, sat sideways on the couch at the end of winter, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and finally couldn't help it, and said angrily:

"Girl, that week, Mama sent kites to Wutong Courtyard, Rose Courtyard, and Hanlian Courtyard, and we didn't even see a shadow of paper in Songfeng Courtyard!"

Li Xiaonuan didn't seem to hear it, facing the light, carefully matched the thread, and wound the thread carefully, before looking up at the end of winter, and said with a smile:

"When she sent kites, we weren't in the house."

"Girl!"

At the end of the winter, he stomped his feet and whispered with some hatred, Li Xiaonuan sighed softly, put down the silk thread in his hand, and said in a low voice:

"At the end of winter, these things can't be smaller, don't care, in this mansion, the ancestor, Mrs., eldest sister, second sister, Gu Xiao is good to me, you and the people in this courtyard are good to me, that's enough, I'm not a serious master in someone's house, people entertain me as a favor, and it is my duty not to be paid, where can I force it?"

At the end of winter, she blinked, Li Xiaonuan tilted her head, stared at her for a while, thought for a moment, and then slowly continued:

"You are the son of the family in this house, and there are many grievances and grievances in this house, you should also pay attention, you should tell me about Mama Zhou first."

The end of winter was stunned, and asked a little inexplicably:

"What are you talking about Mama Zhou?"

Li Xiaonuan sighed depressedly,

"Mama Zhou is Mrs.'s companion, and the family has followed Mrs. to the ancient family, tell me who is in her family, what relatives or something."

The end of the winter thought for a while, and said in a low voice:

"Mama Zhou's husband is the chief steward of the house, and now he is taking his eldest son to look at the house in the capital, and is in charge of the wife's dowry shop in the capital, Zhuangzi, and the ancient family's property in the capital.

The end of winter looked at Li Xiaonuan, thought about it, and then said:

"Mama Zhou also has a younger brother who also came to the Gu family together, married the youngest daughter of the old housekeeper Liu, and sent us back to Tianwo Village, the eldest son of the old housekeeper."

Li Xiaonuan tilted his head and looked at the end of winter and asked:

"Who is the one who was in charge of the sewing room?"

At the end of winter, he raised his eyebrows and was stunned,

"It's Mama Wang!"

"Mama Wang is the wife and sister of Steward Liu."

Li Xiaonuan looked at the end of the winter and said, and the end of the winter was a little unconvinced:

"It was the eldest lady's idea to abolish the needlework room, but we didn't say a word!"

Li Xiaonuan shrugged her eyebrows and became depressed,

"At the end of winter, you said you didn't say a word, will people believe it? If it were you, what would you think? As the old saying goes, if you don't accept the melon, you don't finish the crown, that's the truth, it's not that you say you have done it, but that others think you have done it! Do you understand? ”

The end of winter pouted unconvinced,

"Even if that's the case, it's the ancestor and the lady who nodded, and they can't blame us!"

"Late Winter!"

Li Xiaonuan frowned, staring at the end of the winter, his voice became stern, the end of the winter shrank slightly, and Li Xiaonuan said in a cold voice:

"When you talk about human feelings, you talk about human feelings, and when you talk about rules, you talk about rules when you talk about human feelings, and you talk about rules with others, so what else is there to say? ! You are probably used to being an errand by the side of the ancestor, even if there is anything arrogant and unreasonable, people see that you are the girl of the ancestor, and they dare not worry about you, if so, I gave the ancestor at night, you go back to Ruixuan Hall on an errand. ”

At the end of winter, his face turned red, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

"Girl, the end of winter is wrong, I beg the girl to spare the end of winter."

Li Xiaonuan raised her hand impatiently,

"Get up, don't kneel and kowtow at every turn."

got up at the end of winter, stood beside the couch with his head down, Li Xiaonuan pointed to the couch,

"You still sit and talk, I just tell you this truth, if you talk about the rules, you are right, people are even more inappropriate, if you talk about human feelings, one, whether we do it or not, this melon has been in front of Li Xia, even if you don't say this, we haven't given people any favors, everyone has no favors for each other, I just live in this house, people don't send this kite, what's there to be picky?"

Li Xiaonuan looked at the end of winter with her head lowered, and then said:

"This is one, and two, where is this high and low thing? When is it not? What is the use of you in caring about these things except sulking yourself? ”

Late Winter nodded slowly and said in a low voice:

"I see."

Li Xiaonuan looked at her, sighed slowly, and said in a low voice:

"You care about these useless things! As soon as the needlework comes out, you should be vigilant and pay attention to whether you have offended someone! If you can think of a solution to it, it's good, if you can't solve it, you have to pay attention to it at all times, don't let people calculate, look at you, you're still here stupidly calculating whether people send kites or not! I really don't know what to say about you! ”
