The New Year's trouble did not affect Chu Yiyao's mood, after twenty-eight, the shops were closed, leaving the guys on duty at night, and the rest went home to reunite.

The next afternoon, the people of the criminal family arrived at the Chu Mansion, the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner, the Chu family was originally not many, Chu Yiyao asked the second brother to invite his grandmother and uncle over, Xing Wenyu stayed in the house, the Yang family stayed to take care of him, heard Ah Chuan come back and said that even if it is good, this hand will not be flexible in the future, and the guard of the third prince of Cao is extremely ruthless.

After more than 20 years, this is the first time that Mrs. Xing has walked into the house where her daughter lived before her death, and many things here are consistent with the places where Xing lived before her death, Chu Yiyao followed and approached the house and found that Mrs. Xing was looking at an old box in front of her mother's dresser in a daze.

It was a very simple makeup box, so simple that it seemed incompatible with everything in this room, but Chu Yiyao remembered that this was her mother's favorite before her death, and once one of the feet of the box fell off, or after her father came back, he personally found the same wood and put it on again, and her mother once hugged her and said that this makeup box was much older than her, much older than her eldest brother.

Looking at my grandmother's expression now, this thing seems to have been brought with her when she left Huizhou.

"I didn't expect your mother to keep this." The old lady trembled slightly and touched the makeup box, and the locks at the opening were already rusty.

"Well, my mother has always kept it, when I was young, my second brother was naughty, and I came here to play and knocked over this makeup box, and let my father beat it, saying that this is my mother's favorite thing, and my mother will be sad if I break it." Recalling the Xing family, Chu Yiyao's face was full of warmth, and the old lady suddenly turned red when she heard this.

"This makeup box was given to me by her father back then, at that time Cui Niang was still young, and she liked it, so her father coaxed her to give her a bigger and more beautiful one when she grew up, and her father died of illness within a few years, and your mother took away my makeup box when she followed your father." Memories are a sad thing for a person of the old lady's age, she reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked up at Chu Yiyao, and said with emotion, "You are like your mother." ”

"Your mother had a big idea when she was very young, that is, to go with your father, I didn't agree with 10,000 at the time, she still left, and she didn't bring any news all these years, and the news of your eldest brother's birth was still secretly sent back by your father." Chu Yiyao listened and didn't speak, and the old lady chattered a lot, and didn't leave the Ming Courtyard until it was dark.

After dinner, Xiao sat for a while and was about to send them back, Bao Chan came in and reported that the eldest young master of the Cheng family had sent someone to pick up a few young ladies to watch the fireworks in Wangjiang Tower, and the first person who was happy to hear the news was the Xiao family, only to see her look at Chu Miaoluo with a smile, "Then why don't you hurry up and change your clothes, how to get out dressed like this, Ah Chuan, the carriage is waiting outside?" ”

"Cousin, let's go together, it's very beautiful to watch the fireworks there, and I'll let Ah Chuan send you back later." Chu Yiyao saw that Xiao was urging his three daughters to change their clothes, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he pulled up Xing Zishu to go out, "Go to my place to change clothes." ”

Xing Zishu glanced at Xing Ziyu and them, and then looked at the old lady Xing, who nodded, and then followed Chu Yiyao to Yifeng Courtyard a little shyly.

Xiao Shi watched Chu Yiyao take his three cousins to Yifeng Courtyard to change clothes, his eyes flashed with a hint of unsharpening, and he said with some concern, "There are a few more people, and the carriage of the Cheng family can sit over." ”

"Second aunt, you are still worried about this, even if the Cheng family can't sit down, our own carriage will go, and besides, this Wangjiang Tower is not driven by the Cheng family, who can't go." Qiao Cong'an smiled back at her, a touch of embarrassment flashed on Xiao's face, and he also smiled and nodded yes.

It is not difficult to find a few clothes for Xing Zishu and them, Chu Yiyao deliberately changed Xing Zishu into a pure white one, with white velvet around the cuffs and neckline, and asked the peacock to comb their hair again, and apply a little powder, and the delicate face was immediately revealed, no worse than the eldest lady from Jinling.

"Here, put this on." Chu Yiyao chose in the jewelry box, and finally chose two simple hostas and inserted them into the hairpin that was wrapped around Xing Zishu's head, Xing Zishu hurriedly said no, Chu Yiyao sat her down, and said with a smile, "It's not a valuable thing, if you like it, I'll give it to you." ”

Chu Yiyao nodded with satisfaction, people rely on clothes, even the simple clothes before can't cover her natural beauty, and now she changes her clothes and dresses up a little, and Xing Zishu's good face is completely reflected.

"Miss, you haven't changed your clothes yet." Bao Sheng saw that she was only concerned about dressing up the ladies and reminded with a smile on the side.

"I'm not going to change it." Chu Yiyao shook her head casually, she didn't plan to dress up more swaggering to attract Cheng Shaopeng's attention, Xing Ziyu on the side pulled her to the screen, and said with a smile, "You have prepared everything for us, if you don't change us, how embarrassed to go out, change it quickly, otherwise we won't dare to wear it out." ”

Chu Yiyao was stunned, then smiled too, turned around and went behind the screen...

When Chu Yiyao and the others changed to the gate, Chu Miaoluo and the others had not yet arrived, and the outfits of the three cousins of the criminal family surprised the Xiao family, and even the old lady of the criminal family looked at it and said that it looked good.

Only Qiao Cong'an saw Chu Yiyao's purpose, poked her forehead lightly, and scolded with a smile, "You ghost girl." Chu Yiyao stuck out her tongue slightly, and turned her head to look at Xing Zishu and them, they were indeed very good-looking.

"Yo, this dress really looks like a beautiful girl, I can't tell that it's from the countryside at all." There was a strong sour taste in Xiao's words, especially when he saw Xing Zishu's dress.

"That's not it, second aunt, if you change into the clothes of a countryman, you won't be able to see the smell of people in this city." Chu Yiyao smiled harmlessly, and pulled Xing Zishu and them to get into the carriage first, "This Sister Miaoluo, they are too slow, they can't sit down after a while anyway, it's better for us to go first." ”

"That's okay, you Sister Miaoluo don't know Wangjiang Tower, let's go together to rest assured." Xiao Shi hurriedly stopped her, how could they let them go to Wangjiang Tower first, this young lady and this appearance made Xiao Shi feel a deep threat.

"Second aunt, cousin, they will take the carriage that Brother Cheng came to pick up, the coachman knows the way, it's all this hour, and if you don't go, people should blame us for being rude." Where could the Xiao family stop Chu Yiyao, Qiao Cong'an followed and pulled the Xiao family and agreed, "Yes, second aunt, Yiyao, they can go over first, and they can also say it, it's not good for people to wait for a long time." ”

Xiao glanced at the corridor, but still didn't see his daughters, seeing that Chu Yiyao and the others had already gone out, they turned around and walked in the direction of the Treasure Pavilion, and only halfway did they see three people hurrying over here, and it was too late to say that they were not, Xiao simply instructed them to hurry up and get into the carriage to go to Wangjiang Tower.

The carriage arrived at the door of Wangjiang Tower, Chu Yiyao and the others got out of the carriage, Li Xing, who was waiting at the door, took them to the box on the third floor, opened the door, Cheng Shaopeng was talking to Wang Jilin, and when he saw Chu Yiyao coming in, Wang Jilin greeted with a smile, "Yiyao, you are slow to come, this is almost half an hour." ”

Chu Yiyao glared at him and ignored him, and introduced to Cheng Shaopeng, "Brother Cheng, these are the cousins of my maternal grandfather's family, as soon as I come back to Jinling, I will bring them over to have a look." Chu Yiyao said and pulled Xing Zishu forward, Xing Zishu glanced up at Cheng Shaopeng, and shouted softly, "Cheng Gongzi." Then he lowered his head, and his other hand tightly pulled Chu Yiyao's hand a little nervously.

Cheng Shaopeng was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and Xing Zishu sat down with a slightly red face.

Wang Jilin on the opposite side poured the tea and handed it over, a touch of surprise flashed in Xing Zishu's eyes, and he took the tea with trembling hands, and Wang Jilin, who looked at it with a delicate appearance, immediately laughed, "Yiyao, your cousin is really interesting." ”

Wang Jilin smiled heartlessly, Xing Zishu became more and more nervous, Chu Yiyao took the cup from her hand and comforted, "Don't pay attention to him, he is not in shape like this, there will be more fireworks in a while, I will take you up to the attic to see." ”

"If no one comes, we can go up and see it now." Cheng Shaopeng retracted his gaze, patted Wang Jilin's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Cousin, they haven't come yet, why don't we go up first, Brother Cheng, are you waiting here?" Chu Yiyao looked at the fireworks outside the window that had been set off for a long time and suggested.

"How can you go up by yourself, I'll be with you, you wait here first, and I'll come down later." Cheng Shaopeng reached out and touched her head, and there was a bit of doting in his tone.

Chu Yiyao laughed casually, and Li Xing's voice at the door came again, "Young Master, Miss Chu, they have arrived." ”

Chu Miaoluo, who walked in, first glanced at Cheng Shaopeng, then looked at Chu Yiyao and said angrily, "Yiyao, you are really in a hurry, don't wait for us." ”

"Let's go up when everyone is ready." Wang Jilin, who was unwilling to be ignored, flashed to Cheng Shaopeng's side and proposed, everyone nodded, Chu Yiyao looked at Chu Miaoluo's dress, and it really took a lot of thought, on such a cold day, he was wearing such a thin cloak.

On the third floor of Wangjiang Tower, there are several attics, facing the wind on all sides, and the scenery overlooking Jinling is very good, so these seven or eight attics are full every day, Chu Yiyao felt a little cold when she walked up, took the stove from Bao Wei's hand, wrapped her cloak tightly, and she took Xing Ziyu and them to stand by the railing and pointed to the fireworks in the sky, "See, the one that puts the most is the Cao family's mansion." ”

"Is the Cao family you are talking about the home of the young master Cao that day?" Xing Ziluo sat down next to Xing Ziyu, grabbed her arm and said.

"Yes." Chu Yiyao smiled, Xing Ziluo felt a little cold for no reason, Cao Jinrong left a lot of shadow in her heart, the third brother's arm is not good until now, and she is not scared.

"It's their family every year, and you can tell at a glance that it's the guy's credit again." Wang Jilin is quite disdainful, the same family environment is good, the same is the third in line, Wang Jilin despises Cao Jinrong's life style very much, whose young master's wife has not yet married, and the concubine room is about to fill a courtyard.

Chu Yiyao agrees with this, Cao Jinrong is an excellent representative of the gentlemen in the impression of her two lives combined, and there is no one.

"Sister Miaoluo, aren't you cold?" Chu Yiyao turned around and saw Chu Miaoluo next to Chu Miaofei, her body trembled slightly, and she said with concern.

"It's not cold." Chu Miaoluo shook her head with a smile, and looked at Cheng Shaopeng, but Cheng Shaopeng was chatting with Wang Jilin, with his back to them, Chu Miaoluo tightened her cloak and it was difficult to maintain that demeanor, and she regretted it very much in her heart, how did she know that the fireworks were in such a ventilated place, shouldn't she be in the box, burning a warm basin to watch.
