Gu Yunhuan was in high spirits, and happily said that when Shen Zheng was in time, Li Xiaonuan's eyes kept slipping on the hourglass in the corner of the house, and when he saw that Chenguang was almost there, he stretched his arms exaggeratedly, and said with a smile:

"Alas, let's patronize and talk, we have forgotten the time, it's time to go to Ruixuan Hall, let's go quickly, if we go late, the ancestor will talk again!"

Gu Yunhuan reluctantly stopped, turned his head to look at the hourglass in the corner of the house, and said with a smile:

"It's still early, it's not too late to wait a little longer!"

"It's not early, we've been nesting on this couch for a long time, and our hair is a little hairy, so it's not too early to clean our faces and comb our hair again!"

Li Xiaonuan hurriedly said with a smile, without waiting for Gu Yunhuan to speak, he jumped off the bed and raised his voice to call for the end of winter.

At the end of the winter, he and Shiqin came in, waited for the two of them to clean their faces, combed their hair again, and went to Ruixuan Hall together.

From that day on, Gu Yunhuan came to Songfeng Courtyard almost every other day to talk to Li Xiaonuan, although Gu Yunhuan was extremely unwelcoming to Gu Xiao, but Li Xiaonuan never wanted to drive Gu Xiao away, but intentionally or unintentionally pulled Gu Xiao, and refused to be alone with Gu Yunhuan again.

Gu Yunhuan's feelings really frightened Li Xiaonuan, how could there be a good result for such a girl's feelings? ! What's more, this is a place with strict etiquette, Gu Yunhuan's thoughts, if they accidentally leak out, it will be a big sin!

She is the biological daughter of Madame, the granddaughter of her ancestors, and there are forgivable reasons for any kind of mistakes she makes, and someone has found a word for her and forgiveness, what about her? If something really happens, maybe she has to take her little life into it!

After the beginning of winter, charcoal basins were set up in each courtyard, and at the end of winter, she carefully looked at the charcoal sent in by the Oil Candle Bureau, and nodded with satisfaction, Li Xiaonuan turned her head to look at her and smiled,

"You don't have to look at it, it must be the best silver frost charcoal!"

The end of winter also laughed,

"What the girl said is that the young master reads and writes in our yard every day......"

Li Xiaonuan stared at the end of winter, and at the end of winter, he stuck out his tongue and swallowed back the words in the back, Li Xiaonuan sighed,

"You have a straight temper, you have to be more restrained, there are some things, it's good to understand, it's boring to say it, isn't it?"

The end of the winter nodded busily and said with a smile:

"I know, that is, I will talk to the girl secretly, and I will go outside, but I don't dare to say more than half a word!"

Li Xiaonuan looked at the two baskets of charcoal, thought for a while and asked:

"These two baskets of charcoal are our share of the day?"

"This is the girl's share of the day, and the girl's charcoal is another."

Late Winter explained with a smile,

"How many carbon basins are enough for these two baskets of charcoal?"

The end of winter was stunned,

"Two, the carbon basin in the girl's house, there are also regulations, both are two, put in the study and the east wing during the day, and put it in the east wing and the inner room at night. These two baskets of charcoal are just enough for two carbon basins for twelve hours. ”

Li Xiaonuan lowered her eyes, looked at the two baskets of charcoal and didn't speak again, she was most afraid of the cold, from winter to now, sitting in the house, feeling cold every day, I really hate to put ten or eight charcoal basins in the house! If only there were ondols and sandwich walls like in the north!

In the future, I will be the master of my own house, and if I have money in the future, I will build a house with a sandwich wall to live in winter! And if it is not enough, put ten or eight charcoal pots in the house.

Although Li Xiaonuan no longer wanted to listen to Gu Yunhuan talk about those old things in the capital, Gu Yunhuan seemed to like Songfeng Courtyard, and reluctantly sat in Cuiwei Hall with Gu Yunshan in the morning to listen to her mother-in-law's reply, and in the afternoon, she must be lazy and tricky, and refused to go to Cuiwei Hall again, nor did she stay in Hanlian Courtyard, and she came to Songfeng Courtyard almost every day, and sat on the couch in the east wing to sit on the needlework.

Li Xiaonuan knocked on the side and rushed a few times, and I don't know if Gu Yunhuan really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, in short, Li Xiaonuan's side knock was like a mud cow entering the sea, and half a minute of sound was not made, so naturally it was not half useful.

Li Xiaonuan was worried for a few days, and then let go, anyway, the prince of the pants was far away in the capital, and he could not threaten either her nor Gu Yunhuan.

Let's talk about feelings, as time goes by, the color will always fade cleanly, and the stronger the feelings, the faster the fading and fading! Gu Yunhuan can't see people, can't hear the news, after two or three years, his feelings will fade, and people will grow up and be sensible, and this matter will be considered in the past.

The days slipped in peace, the Rose Courtyard and the Hanlian Courtyard sent out seven or eight third-class and rough girls who had reached the age of marriage, and the younger sister Xiaofu at the end of the winter made up for the Hanlian Courtyard and became a third-class girl, Gu Yunhuan changed her name to Yushu.

Gu Yunshan got the support of Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou, and began to merge the four divisions and six bureaus.

In a blink of an eye, the light snow passed, and the days were getting shorter and shorter, Li Xiaonuan used his brains, accompanied Gu Xiao to recite the book early, and did a lot of needlework by himself.

One afternoon, Li Xiaonuan accompanied Gu Xiao to memorize the book, holding the flower bandage and Gu Yunhuan to do needlework together, Gu Xiao took the book, read a few pages, was a little impatient, put down the book, and looked at Li Xiaonuan, who was doing needlework in the soft white cotton mat, suddenly jumped off the bed and jumped into the West Chamber.

After a while, Gu Xiao came out with a smile on his face, walked to the couch, held up the rice paper, and said with a smile:

"Nuan Nuan, second sister, do you see, is it like Nuan Nuan?"

Li Xiaonuan and Gu Yunhuan hurriedly looked up at the rice paper, on which was painted a girl with her head down, the brushstrokes were immature but very smart, Li Xiaonuan's eyes lit up, she hurriedly straightened up, grabbed it and looked at it carefully, Gu Yunhuan also came over to look at it with interest on her face.

Li Xiaonuan looked at it for a while, looked up at Gu Xiao, and praised it with admiration:

"You're so good at drawing, why haven't I seen you paint before?"

Gu Xiao was a little embarrassed by Li Xiaonuan's praise, scratched his head and said:

"Before enlightenment, I liked to paint everywhere, but then my mother told me to concentrate on my studies, so I never painted again."

Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Xiao, his mind slowly turned, Gu Xiao's painting is full of spirituality, before enlightenment, that is, before the age of five, he liked to paint at that time, it can be seen that he likes to paint, he likes it, and has such a talent and spirituality, if he can find a famous teacher to guide him, maybe he can draw a few achievements, and everyone may become a generation!

Li Xiaonuan squinted her eyes and smiled, carefully folded the painting, and called the end of the winter to come over and order:

"Take this into my Nanmu box, and be careful not to break it."

Gu Xiao's eyes lit up, squeezed next to Li Xiaonuan, and asked with a little excitement:

"Nuan Nuan, do you really think I'm good at drawing?"

"Hmm!"

Li Xiaonuan nodded heavily and said extremely seriously:

"I've never seen a painting with such an aura! I'm going to keep it. ”

Gu Xiao's face flushed with excitement, Gu Yun laughed, nodded at Gu Xiao's forehead and said:

"Xiao Nuan teased you, are you serious?"

Gu Xiao turned his head and glanced at her, only ignoring her, Li Xiaonuan turned his head, looked at Gu Yunhuan, and said solemnly:

"Second sister, I really think Gu Xiao's painting is full of aura, I think he paints very well!"

Gu Yunhuan was stunned, laughed "eat", leaned back on the pillow, and said with a long sigh:

"No wonder Gu Xiao likes to find you to memorize and write together, and you praise him so everywhere!"

"Humph! Nuan Nuan didn't praise me every day! Now it's the Master who praises me every day! ”

Gu Xiao said unconvinced, Gu Yunhuan hurriedly nodded, and apologized sincerely:

"I was wrong, I said it wrong, our Gu Xiao is smart, spiritual, and better than others in everything we do!"

Gu Xiao snorted and didn't pay attention to her anymore, Li Xiaonuan pulled Gu Xiao's sleeve with a smile and asked in a low voice:

"What do you like to draw? What else will you draw? Would you like to draw a few more for me? ”

Gu Xiao's eyes lit up with excitement, he nodded hurriedly, jumped up and ran two steps, hurriedly paused, turned around and looked at Li Xiaonuan and said:

"Nuan Nuan, why don't you come over too, and you watch me draw?"

"Good!"

Li Xiaonuan happily agreed, jumped off the accommodation, and followed Gu Xiao into the West Chamber.

Gu Yunhuan was stunned, shook his head with a smile, picked up the flower bandage, and slowly continued to embroider without a stitch.

Gu Xiao pulled Li Xiaonuan to the desk in the west chamber, pushed away the books piled up on the table, took a piece of cooked rice paper from the bookshelf next to him, and spread it on the table.

Gu Xiao picked out a little white cloud sheep pen from the pen holder that was hung full, dipped it in ink, turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan and asked:

"What does Nuan Nuan want?"

Li Xiaonuan laughed, thought about it seriously and said:

"Let's draw chrysanthemums, draw chrysanthemums in the Chrysanthemum Pavilion!"

Gu Xiao bent his eyes and nodded with a smile,

"Good! I love painting flowers and plants, especially chrysanthemums! ”

Li Xiaonuan lay on the table, looking at Gu Xiao patiently and meticulously sketching the curled petals of the chrysanthemum with interest in his eyes, and sighed:

"You're so good at drawing!"

Gu Xiao didn't answer, biting his lip, and painting chrysanthemums with a focused expression.

"Have you ever learned to draw before?"

Li Xiaonuan stretched out his hand and pulled the rice paper, looked at it carefully and asked, Gu Xiao shook his head,

"No, but ......"

Gu Xiao leaned into Li Xiaonuan's ear and whispered:

"Once, when I was still in the capital, I flipped out a picture album in my study, which was full of all kinds of flowers, which looked very good! I secretly took the album back, and when I had time, I flipped through the album and learned a little bit. ”

Li Xiaonuan nodded, touched her toes, and also put it to Gu Xiao's ear, and said in a low voice:

"Or, you bring the picture book to this courtyard, and in the future, we will do a good job of the window class, I will embroider, and you will paint."

Gu Xiao nodded with bright eyes, Li Xiaonuan looked at him with a smile in his eyes, pulled him, put it to his ear and continued:

"The ancestor and his wife don't let you learn to paint, they must be worried that you will patronize painting and delay your study, in the future, let's study hard first, and let the master boast every day, the ancestor and his wife will not delay your study when they see you painting, and they will definitely not let you draw!"

"Nuan Nuan, you're right! I'll read the book so much that my master can boast about it every day, and then I'll draw when I'm empty! ”

Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Xiao with a smile and slowly calculated.
