The sky is dim, a wisp of bright and a shallow wisp. Look down, the eaves are layered, the height is different, occasionally stretching up one or two verdant, among which the delicate leaves are dotted, and the birds are half hidden and half visible. And then down were five or six servants, who were fetching water, sweeping the floor, and pruning, and all were quiet.

The green warbler supported her cheeks with one hand, and looked at the painting on the case for a long time, no wonder Feng Yuan spent a lot of time, this painting was not painted lightly, although the painting was only a corner of the house that he saw when he opened the window, but the scenery and the servants were all vividly depicted.

With a red face, that day I thought he was just a martial artist, but I didn't think that he was also a master in painting, and she could see people in the cracks of the door.

Unable to help but think of Wu Qing's painting, she got up and opened the box and took out the painting.

The two framed paintings, one on the left and one on the right, are placed on the table, which is naturally intriguing.

Wu Qing's painting lines are round, giving people a sense of warmth and affinity, and Feng Yuanzhi's painting lines are stiff, which makes people awe-inspired. But in fact, if you take a closer look, Wu's paintings are painted with ink on the people in that house, and the landscape is only blurred, and the color is light and light. In Feng's paintings, people are only like embellishments, even trees

There is more ink on the branches than on the people.

The green warbler secretly thought that Feng Yuan's paintings were like his man, standing tall and always forgetting to trample others under his feet. Reasonably, she likes the landscape even more.

Hey, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and she didn't know what happened to Wu Gongzi, but she was still setting up a stall in front of the bookstore?

Zhao Qiuyun took Feng Yuan's painting to the outer study, and she carefully rolled up the landscape map and put it in the box with great love.

"Girl, it's time to eat."

"Yikes!" The green warbler is on the edge of the box with her left hand, holding the top of the box with her right hand, trying to close the cover, but she was startled by a cold call, her hand was stunned, and the top of the box fell down in a daze, smashing her left hand.

"Ahh Slaves and maids should be damned! Chunqiao's face turned pale, and she seemed to be stunned in pain, and hurriedly stepped forward to help lift the top of the box. When he saw this, he cried: "The slave deserves death!" The girl's hands are purple! ”

"It's okay, don't cry, just rub the medicine." Lu Ying reassured, this matter is not bad Chunqiao, she just thought of Wu Gongzi, and her heart was in a trance.

When Chunqiao gave her good medicine, she glanced at her swollen hand, and said, "I'll go to dinner, and you can lock the box." ”

Chunqiao nodded: "Yes." ”

The green warbler walked to the door, thought about it and turned back to the inner room, and saw that the box was really locked, so he went to the dining room with confidence.

Bored, she sandwiched a piece of chicken breast meat and put it in her mouth to chew, and everything on the table was her favorite food, but she still didn't know how to eat it.

With a move in her heart and putting down her chopsticks, she said to Qiu Yun, who was standing in front of her, "Come with me to Jingqianzhai." After a pause, he added uncomfortably, "Buy some more notebooks, and read everything in your hand." ”

The sedan chair swayed, and her heart also rose and fell, both expectant and ashamed, holding her cheeks with her hands, warm and hot.

When Qiuyun said that Jingqianzhai had arrived, the green warbler was not in a hurry to come out, so she first helped her head to shake her step, picked up the handkerchief and tried the corners of her mouth.

Jin Lian's little feet stood on the ground, and she raised her eyes with shyness, and when she saw it, she was suddenly dumbfounded.

Looking east and west, there were many stalls, but there was no one she was looking for.

The scholar, who was about forty years a year, saw her stretching her neck and looking around, and stepped forward to ask, "What is the girl looking for, but the descendant surnamed Wu?" ”

The green warbler nodded hurriedly, ignoring the steps above her head and swaying: "Exactly, old gentleman, do you know why he didn't come?" Thinking of something, she panicked and asked, "Is he sick?" ”

The old man kept his beard and replied slowly: "It is indeed sick, but the sick person is his old lady." has been sick and crooked, and it seems to have gotten worse these days, and he is waiting at home, and the stall has not been set up. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and said, "Ah, his house is in Tonghua Lane, south of Yanxi Street." After entering the alley, I walked in with a stick of incense, and the second house to the east was. After speaking, he remembered that this rich girl was sitting in a sedan chair, so he talked to the petite girl again.

Lu Ying saw that this old man was very old-fashioned, and after thanking him, he hurriedly got on the sedan chair and went to Wu Qing's house.

After the sedan chair had passed, she suddenly remembered that it was very inappropriate to go to a man's house like this, and she was about to call the little maid to turn around, but the sedan chair had stopped.

Qiu Yun lifted the curtain for her, and when she came down to look, she was already outside the door of a house. A small piece of tattered door plaque hangs on the head, with the words "Wu House" written on it. She was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was Wu Qing, and when he saw her, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "It's you?" Hurriedly turned sideways and bowed to each other, "Come in and sit." ”

The green warbler blushed and nodded sheepishly: "Hmm." “

Hanging his head and skirt, he walked lightly, passed through a small courtyard full of firewood buds, and entered a small hall. The room was simple, except for a large kang and a small kang table on top, there was only a short-legged dining table and four old stools left in the room.

Add a large wardrobe.

Wu Qing pointed to the stool and said embarrassedly, "Sit down." ”

"Ahem"

Suddenly, a muffled cough came, and the green warbler's master and servant were startled and looked at the place where the sound came from. It turned out that there was still an old woman lying on the kang, very inconspicuous, and when I looked at it coldly, I thought it was a cover roll, presumably this person was Wu Qing's mother.

Sure enough, it was Wu's mother: "Son, a guest?" Ahem. "It's not good to say a word, and I can't stop coughing, "Hurry up, make tea and say hello." ”

"No need, no more trouble." The green warbler hurriedly waved his hand.

Wu Qing ignored her and went out to cook soup.

"Auntie, are you sick?" The green warbler looked at Mother Wu's cloudy eyes, coughed lightly, and sat on the kang with concern.

Mother Wu reached out and probed, groped to grab her hand into her own hand, and said happily: "It's a girl?" Good, good, good, good. ”

The green warbler was stunned, stretched out her five fingers and shook them in front of her, and said, "Auntie's eyes"

"Hehe, it's been blind, it's been a few years, old man, it's useless. Now that I'm sick again, I see that I want to see my lord, and it's okay, the old man is very happy, but I haven't seen my son marry, so I can't close my eyes. As he spoke, he patted her hand and said with a smile, "Girl."

Is it good to be a daughter-in-law for an old body? ”

"What did my aunt say?" The green warbler didn't expect her to ask like this, and her face turned purple with shame. was complaining about her presumptuousness, and suddenly thought of coming to someone's house with a big girl, wouldn't it make people think a lot? Hurriedly blushed and begged for mercy: "The slave family only has one side with Ling Lang

fate, don't misunderstand. ”

"One-sided relationship?" Wu's mother was thoughtful: "But outside the bookstore? ”

"Exactly."

Mother Wu pursed her lips and smiled: "Girl, I don't know, Lin Nu has seen you since that day, and when she went home, she talked to the old body endlessly, saying how beautiful that girl is, how kind her heart is, and the old body looks at it, he is in love with you." "Smiling with a squinting eye, with a face full of love,

"The old body is also very happy for you to be the daughter-in-law of my Wu family."

Green Ying listened to her, so ashamed that she wanted to get into the cracks in the ground, and she didn't know how to refute, so she couldn't help but snort: "What did my aunt say?"

Mother Wu is blind but deaf: "Lin Nu is Feng Qing's nickname, don't you laugh at his boss, the old body still calls him a nickname, no matter how big it is, it's still a mother's baby pimple, isn't it?" ”

Lu Ying thought about her own life experience, her heart was sour, she shook her head, and after shaking it, she realized that she couldn't see it, smiled shyly, and said: "Exactly, how can the slave family laugh at it, the aunt loves the son's heart, and Feng Gongzi is a great blessing." ”

Mother Wu thought of her son who hadn't returned for a long time: "Hey, why did Lin Nu make tea for so long?" ”

The green warbler also thought of him and looked at Qiuyun suspiciously.

Qiuyun glanced at Wu's mother embarrassedly, and then whispered: "Wu Gongzi was about to pour tea, and found that the tea bowls were missing edges and corners, so he said to go outside to buy a few bowls." ”

"Why don't you stop it?" The green warbler said in a hurry, the sudden visit is already a nuisance, and it even causes trouble to others?

Qiu Yun pursed her mouth and said aggrievedly: "The slave and maid stopped it, I can't stop it." ”

"Don't blame her, girl, Lin Nu is stubborn, what do you want to do, eight horses can't pull it back." Mother Wu smiled, and her eyes were bitter: "Hey, he, not only stubborn but also shy, since he was sensible, he didn't let the old man call him by his nickname anymore." Old body

He never called in front of him, no, he called twice behind his back. Actually, he can't be called for a few days, and when the soil buries his neck, no one in this world will call him Lin Nu anymore. ”

Lu Ying's heart chuckled, and she hurriedly asked, "What kind of disease does my aunt have?" ”

Mother Wu lamented: "It's a red snake sore." ”

I haven't heard of this sick green warbler, "Why don't you look for a doctor?" Is it not enough silver or not" After a pause, she said cautiously: "Or is this disease not curable?" ”

Mother Wu shook her head, "This disease is a disease of wealth and nobility, and the poor can't afford to cure it. ”

Thinking of the past, she choked up and said: "Our Wu family was originally a big family in Jiangnan, and it was only after the old man left that the family fell into the middle of the road. The cannibalistic brothers of the Wu family cheated the family property away, and the poor old woman was weak, and the Lin slave was about to be five years old at that time. now

Finally settled in this capital, don't say that there is no silver, it is the heavenly fairy manifestation, falling from the roof of a hundred taels of silver, and the old body is unwilling to be cured. ”

Saying that, she patted her hand, and Mother Wu smiled lovingly: "The old man would rather keep the silver to marry his daughter-in-law than spend the silver on me, a useless blind old woman." ”

I didn't expect Wu Gongzi's life experience to be so pitiful, those wicked people are bad!

She can't help on the side, but the aunt's disease, since it is cured, it is not a big deal, she has the silver, and she smiled: "The aunt is no longer called by the girl, so she will call the slave family Green Ying, you don't have to worry about the silver, the slave family"

"So your name is Green Warbler."

Wu Qing brought four bowls of tea into the house, and Qiu Yun saw that she was a maid, and hurriedly took it flatteringly.

Several people talked for a long time, Wu's mother was sick and weak, and she snored as she spoke.

Without her, Lu Ying was a little uncomfortable, blushing and twisting the handkerchief, and talking with Wu Qingyi without a match.

Wu Qing smiled ashamedly: "You are a beautiful lady, and Xiaosheng's family is so simple, which makes you laugh." Glancing at her boldly, he blushed and said lightly: "Miss Green Oriole is so beautiful and beautiful, it is incompatible with this humble room. ”

Lu Ying didn't like to listen to his self-deprecation, shook his head busily, and said sincerely: "Wu Gongzi, don't say that, the slave family is not a big family, and the slave family is not a beautiful girl." ”

Wu Qing glanced at Qiuyun, who could sit in a sedan chair, and how could it be a small family with a maid to serve, so he thought that she was humble, and he also loved her more.

After the green warbler said goodbye, he looked at the small sedan chair that was gradually moving away, and only felt that she was born in everyone but was not arrogant, humble and kind, and felt that it was a great blessing to meet this woman in this life.

The sun is shining, and the small courtyard is peaceful.

"You can rest for a while."

A soft voice sounded in his ears, and the green warbler looked up in surprise. Wu Qingzheng stood in front of him, his eyebrows were clear, and he persuaded gently: "Let's take a break, look at your hands are red." ”

She looked down, her clothes in her hands.

"Come and eat the balls, my mother will make it." Wu Qing took her hand, and the two entered the house.

Mother Wu heard the movement in the house, and said with a smile: "I know what you can do, but you also have to take care of your own body, come and come, eat balls, your favorite food." ”

Picked up the bowl and scooped it into her mouth, soft and glutinous sweet and sticky teeth, when the upper and lower teeth were clenched, a stream of fragrant juice spread, it was delicious, she was happy: "You eat too." ”

"Daddy is a bad person, obviously I haven't eaten it yet." With a childish call, a three- or four-year-old drooping child ran into the house, grabbed Wu Qingyi, pouted and complained.

"Eat."
