Changchun wiped his eyes and said yes in a low voice. 『』

Xia Chunchao smiled again: "I remember the name Changchun, or when you arrived at the Lu family, the Liu family gave it for you." What was your original name? I don't remember. Changchun replied: "When I was at home, I only had a nickname given by my father, and maybe no one called me for a long time." I'm used to the name Changchun, and when I go home, everyone still calls it that. The girl doesn't have to change her words, just call me Changchun. ”

Xia Chunchao smiled and said, "You are also happy, how many people have been kicked out of the master's house, and they will no longer use the name given by the master's family." Changchun smiled and said: "It's just a name, it's just for people, it doesn't matter what it's called, it's always good to get used to it." Xia Chunchao smiled: "You can think about it." Then he asked, "What are you doing at home now?" But is there anyone at home? Ready for the dowry? Changchun smiled and said: "The girl is really joking, I am also old, and I have been a maid in someone's house for so long, what serious people are willing to marry?" I have been serving in the Lu family for all these years, and my family didn't think that I would go back again, and I didn't save a few dollars, where is the strength to buy me a dowry? Now I follow my aunt to take some embroidery work and do some embroidery work, and I also help people wash some clothes, and I can barely make ends meet. ”

Xia Chunchao sighed and said, "When you were in the Lu family, you only served in the upper room, where did you do such a job?" It's hard for you. Changchun said: "I was born with this fate, my family was not good when I was young, and I suffered for several years. It was the girl who bought me into the Lu family, and it was only a few years since I lived a good life, but now I just want to go back, but it's okay. I was going to live with my brother, but my brother has become a relative, my sister-in-law and nephew are a family, and the house is shallow and narrow, so it is very inconvenient to be crowded in one place. It just so happened that my aunt had been a widow for many years, and she was old and had no children or daughters, so she took me over. Now, I live with my aunt, and my life is reasonable. ”

While speaking, Zhu'er brought a tea tray and fruit to order.

Xia Chunchao asked Changchun to drink tea, how could Changchun dare to comply, and retreated again and again: "Girl, where do I dare to be so presumptuous?" Xia Chunchao said with a smile: "It's not what it used to be, now I'm not the young grandmother of the Lu family, and you're not the maid of the Lu family." The two of us are both people who were swept out of the house by the Lu family, are we still talking about the old master and servant? If you come to me, you are my guest. The Xia family treats guests, and a cup of tea is always wanted. If you refuse to eat, don't you look down on it? Changchun took one according to his words, took a bite lightly, and held it in his hand.

Xia Chunchao said again: "I left earlier, what happened to the Lu family?" I only heard the chaos inside, but I didn't know what the situation was. Changchun said: "Since the beating girl left, there has been no rule in the house. At first, the people were able to follow the rules left by the girl, and when they saw that no one could come out to take care of things, they became kings. The lady's temper, the girl knows, but she is a fierce and inward-looking goods, and she has no ability except for the side of the nest. The old man is a hands-off shopkeeper, and he never cares about this business. The old lady didn't have to talk about it, except for the aftermath, she only knew how to reprimand the wife. It's just that the mouth is so powerful, I really asked her to take care of things, but it was not good to shrink back and push her body. It's good or not, the second girl's illness is getting worse and worse, and no matter how much medicine she takes, she can't see any effect. One day, the old man found a doctor out of nowhere, saying that he used to serve his mother in the palace, and he asked an acquaintance to invite him. The doctor came to see it, but said that it was a disease of tuberculosis, but it was a big symptom, so he had to take medicine to see it, so he left a prescription. The second girl took a few pairs of medicine according to the prescription and got better. I don't want to be in one night, the second girl suddenly vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and she couldn't do it immediately. I looked panicked, so I hurriedly went to the top to report. Before the doctor could be invited, the girl let go. When the family was in a mess, my wife said that I didn't care about serving, and that my family was in a difficult situation and that I didn't need many people's hands, so she didn't want to be worth a lot of money, and threw me out. Speaking of this, she remembered Sister Lu Hong's kindness to her when she was alive, and couldn't help wiping two tears.

Xia Chunchao sneered: "Even if the second girl is gone, I can ask you to serve that old thing of the Lu Jia clan." Otherwise, kitchen pulp washing, where don't you need people? A Lu family, can't let go of you? Others don't send you out, but they send you out. The Liu family is afraid that without the second girl, Lu Huancheng will beat you again, support her nest, and send you away, so that Lu Huancheng will die of that heart. She took precautions, and she didn't count the fire outside, and she also lost her foot. Changchun heard this for a reason, and hurriedly asked, "What does the girl mean by this?" Xia Chunchao said with a smile: "I called you here today, just for this matter, just talking about it, and I didn't even care about it." As he spoke, he told Lu Huancheng about secretly raising a son in the house, and the house had given birth to a son.

When Changchun heard this, he naturally understood what he meant, covered his mouth with a smile, and said: "My wife has eaten vinegar all her life and killed so many people unjustly, but she didn't know that she had already been planted with maggots. Don't worry, girl, this is easy to do. Although I came out, my brother and sister-in-law are still at the Lu family. Now in the wife's room, Honeysuckle worships the housekeeper's wife as a godmother, and she doesn't take the summer in her eyes. Yingxia has no backer, and his wife can't stand up, she is worried, and she is looking for opportunities. I'm afraid that this matter can just be in her heart, she is older, but she has made up her mind than Honeysuckle, and his wife also believes her, and she is the most suitable to say this. ”

Xia Chunchao smiled lightly: "Although this girl is ugly, she is not good-looking, and she is a little clever, but she is afraid that she will not take the bait." Changchun said: "Girl, don't worry, she has reached this point now, she is in a dilemma, and she will not think about it so much." ”

Xia Chunchao smiled and said: "It's so good, but I still have to bother you, I can't help it." Changchun hurriedly said: "Where does the girl speak, I was also taken care of by the girl when I was in the Lu family." The girl has suffered such a great grievance, I only hate people for being weak, and I can't protect the girl. Now that he only repays the girl's kindness a little, how dare he ask the girl to thank him? Xia Chunchao said: "That being said, in the end, it is not as good as it was in the past. In this way, when I first came to the country, everything was inconvenient, and there was a shortage of manpower everywhere. Although the two of them are good, they are younger in the end and have nothing to do. If you don't dislike the countryside, I'd like to ask you to come back to help, after all, we have been together for many years and know each other well. If you don't worry about your aunt, I still don't need people to make a fire in the kitchen here. ”

When Changchun heard about this, how could he be unwilling? He immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times, and said, "The girl treats me so well, I really don't know how to repay her, and I will do my best to repay the girl in the future." It's just that the girl doesn't dislike me for being clumsy. ”

Xia Chunchao asked Zhu'er to help her up, and said with a smile: "Why are you kneeling down again, get up quickly." I have a body that can't help you, but you have to put it on the shelf," everyone in the room laughed.

Changchun got up from the ground, and when he heard this, he was very surprised, and said, "The girl actually has a body? But the young master's? Without saying a word, he hurriedly slapped himself in the mouth, and said with a smile: "I really should be beaten, who else can I be if I am not a young master" and said: "Now that the girl has a body, can she sue the Lu family?" If they had known that the girl was pregnant with their heir, they would have hurried to take her back. ”

Xia Chunchao sneered: "They came to pick up, I'm so rare that they came to pick up this child was raised in my belly, what does it have to do with them, I can raise the child alone, what do you want them to do?" ”

Zhu'er hurriedly took a look at Changchun, but Changchun didn't realize it, and still said: "Girl, although the Lu family has treated the girl badly, this matter has nothing to do with the young master. The girl said that this child had nothing to do with the Lu family, but in the end he was also the child of the young master, and the young master was his father. When the girl was at home, she was so affectionate with the young master, how could she bear to separate him from father and son? ”

Xia Chunchao's lips were pursed without saying a word, and Zhu'er hurriedly said: "It's not too early, Sister Changchun has to rush into the city." It's raining just now, and the road is muddy and it's hard to walk, so it's better to go back early. My sister went back to clean up and picked a day. We don't have anything else to do, there are people at home every day. ”

When Changchun heard this, he also knew that he had transgressed, so he got up and said goodbye to Xia Chunchao.

Xia Chunchao didn't say anything about it, but said: "You just pack it up, just don't forget what I explained." After that, he sent the pearls away.

Zhu'er sent Changchun outside the house and complained: "Why do you have to talk so much, the last thing the girl wants to listen to now is the Lu family and the young master." The whole family didn't dare to mention a word. I told you not to speak, you just don't listen. You're not a blind person like this before, what's wrong with you today? I'm going to provoke her and I'm not happy."

Changchun smiled and said, "You and I both know the girl's temper. She really didn't want to hear it, so she told me to shut up. But you see, the talented girl just didn't speak, which shows that she still can't let go of the young master in her heart. The young master and the girl are both excellent people, how can they bear to see them being torn apart by those wicked people? Zhu'er had nothing to say, and said for a long time: "We say the same thing, but we are just girls, where is our turn to take care of such a thing?" Even if we are told to take care of it, what is the best way? After that, he looked up at the sky, but saw that the sky was still dull, so he said, "Go quickly, lest you get caught in the rain again on the road and go home sick."

At the moment, they didn't have anything to say, and Changchun boarded the car and went home.

Back home, Changchun told her aunt about the day. Aunt Changchun is a widow for many years, there is no man and half woman under her knees, and she is worried about the aftermath.

The next day, Changchun went to his brother and sister-in-law's house and told Xia Chunchao about the confession. The men and women of this family were greatly favored by the Xia Chun Dynasty, and they were naturally willing to serve. Changchun's sister-in-law was even more embarrassed when she was in the Lu family and what Yingxia had always been able to say.

On that day, the woman went in on an errand and hurried Yingxia to the kitchen to eat melon seeds and chat, so she took the opportunity to talk about it as gossip. Ying Xia was taken aback and asked, "Is this accurate?" The woman laughed and said, "Why not?" People live on the street, the children's clothes are dried in a yard, the old man goes in and out every day, everyone looks at the female tiger in the house as soon as she falls ill, and the old man can be regarded as out of the net. Yingxia was silent, and said in her heart: In this house now, the old lady can still say a few words. Although there is also the way of the master, how can I walk with this appearance? It's not like this, losing his wife and going to the old lady is still a future.

With such an idea, she didn't swallow the melon seeds, and only said: "Sister-in-law, my wife is waiting for me in the room, and I don't dare to leave for a long time." I went first, sister-in-law, don't blame me. The woman knew that she had entered the harbor and hurriedly said, "Go ahead, I have a job here." ”

Yingxia walked back to the upper room and entered the yard, only to see honeysuckle sitting and embroidering under the porch. She ignored Honeysuckle, and Honeysuckle ignored her, and the two of them had nothing to say. Yingxia was about to enter the house, and Honeysuckle suddenly said: "Mrs. just took medicine and fell asleep, what plague did you go in and hit?" Yingxia ignored it and broke the curtain and went into the door.

Honeysuckle hit a soft nail and spat on the ground.

Yingxia turned into the inner room, and sure enough, he saw a pair of plasters on Liu's temples, lying on the bed as if he was sleeping. Slowly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Madam, can you sleep?" ”

Liu snorted, and Yingxia said again: "I have something very important, I wonder if my wife can listen to it now?" Liu said weakly: "If you have something to say, just say it, I will breathe like this, and there is nothing I can't listen to." Yingxia added fuel and vinegar to what Shicai had heard, and said: "Madam, when the master does such a thing, it is clear that he didn't take you seriously." I heard that the woman had given birth to a son to the master, and everyone on the street knew that it was the seed of our Lu family. In the future, the master will take him back to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, won't he have a share of this wealth? Madame had better come up with an idea quickly. ”
