Jiangning Shuixi Gate outside the downtown street, a magnificent gatehouse. On the plaque of the gatehouse, there are three large characters that flow smoothly - Splendid Hall. It was still early, and the gate had not yet opened, only the stone lions on both sides of the road were staring sideways with their lanterns open and big eyes.

Passing through two red-lacquered solid wood gates, inside is a long stone path. There are several magnolia plants planted in the yard, and the blooming white and purple-red flowers bloom one after another, making the yard look more peaceful and tranquil.

Passing through the courtyard, at the back is a row of red brick and green tile houses. The window sash was closed, as if to suggest that the nobles inside had not yet woken up.

The door creaked open, and a lanky girl emerged from inside. She has loose green hair, melon seed face, and a pair of lazy phoenix eyes. She wore a snow-white cardigan, a red Luo skirt, and a pair of Jiufeng Chaoyang red embroidered shoes on her feet. She stretched long in the yard and pulled the hair that hung on one side of her face behind her ear, just in time to see a fish-white fox's head carved into her cheek. The fox complemented her face, making her more and more charming.

"Red Emerald!" There was a summons from inside.

"It's coming!" She readily agreed, and hurriedly turned to go in.

Inside, the light is very dark. Faint sunlight peeked through the lattice on the door, and the first thing I saw was a black lacquered mirror. Looking through the mirror, it was a magpie playing with bamboo screen. Behind the screen, Hongcui respectfully knelt under the bed covered with orange embroidered quilts, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and setting toiletries and spittoons on the stools next to her.

The nobleman on the bed first used tea to pout, spit into the spittoon next to the bed, and wiped his hands and face with a towel, and then was helped by Hongcui to sit up.

"Ge~~~" Hong Cui just said a word and immediately closed her mouth, and then shouted: "Childe." ”

The person on the bed is called Ai Ruoqing, and outsiders call him Ai Gongzi, and Hongcui knows that she is a veritable Gege. Ai Gongzi was waited by Hongcui to get up and sit in front of the mirror. Hongcui carefully combed her hair, braided it, put on a black boy's hat, put on a child's robe, put on a purple horse coat, and put on her feet Chaoyun boots. In an instant, a girl who is just beautiful becomes a handsome boy.

Hongcui said while arranging the folds on the back of her robe, "Childe, did you sleep well last night?" Hongcui didn't fall asleep until midnight. I don't know whose night owl has been meowing on the beams of the house, calling for spring, and tossing the dead. I haven't slept well all night, Childe, take a look, my eyes are swollen. ”

Ai Gongzi glanced at her and replied solemnly, "It's not swollen, it's the same size as usual." ”

Dressed up like this, Ai Gongzi seems to be more pretty than Hongcui. She has a goose egg face, a white flour face, and a 'golden lotus' blooming on her bare forehead. This flower was not embroidered, but brought out of the womb.

There was a faint sound of hey in the front yard. Hongcui said dissatisfiedly: "It must be those four devils practicing on the field, and they don't have much kung fu, what are you scared of?" I practice in the morning and in the evening, what have you done? Will Seventy-Two Change? No way! Will somersault clouds? No way! Do you have a golden hoop stick? No. What is there but that pile of scrap copper and rotten iron? Alas, tell me, why did the master send them down the mountain in the first place? It's not that I said, just Hongcui and me, and I will settle them all. Especially the stinky man of 'Dark Fragrance', who has a stinky bitter gourd face all day long, as if someone owes him tens of thousands of taels of silver. ”

Hongcui muttered endlessly, and Childe didn't say a word. When she stopped for a while, Childe suddenly said, "Hongcui, you seem to be fat, why is this skirt narrow?" Isn't this the fine red Luo dress I just bought you last year? ”

Hongcui sighed, her expression changed drastically, and she screamed at her dress. No way? Is she fat? Oh my God, how could it be? How can you be fat? She's been very restrained lately. Last night, I drank a bowl of bird's nest, a piece of walnut cake, half a duck, two handfuls of melon seeds, and, and, and~~~ She couldn't remember, anyway, she ate very little, and she didn't eat enough, so she knew she should not eat it. She tapped her forehead in pain.

The doors of the Splendid Hall have been opened. In the martial arts hall, four men were whirring and striding on their horses. They are the four guards beside Childe. The first fat-headed and big-eared man was called Bodhi. He is the one who talks the least among the four guards, and he usually likes to drill Buddha and chant scriptures, and he is a dead wood. In Hongcui's words, he is an absolutely rotten man, and to a woman, it doesn't mean anything at all.

The one who is full of anger is the second guard Dark Fragrance. He is still a literati, he can sing and endow, he is too serious, like an old master.

In the yard, it was the butterflies who were shouting five and six were coming. Don't look at his short figure, his appearance is not good, and his skin is the same color as coal, but he can give birth to such a 'winter melon' special attraction woman likes. No, it's that he likes women. On weekdays, Hongcui hides when she sees him, for fear that his lustful eyes will always wander under his skirt.

The fourth child's name is Zuichun. Listen to the name and know that wine and meat are not taboo. Hongcui said that he also looks like a man: more than seven feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is a man who is like a fake. But this would-be man has little interest in women. According to his words, there is only one mother-in-law in his life, and that is wine.

"Why hasn't our son-in-law come out yet? Shy and delicate, like a girl. For men, is he too delicate? "Butterfly's practice time is over. He said as he lay comfortably on a bench under a tree.

Drunken Chun scolded and said: "Childe, you are talking nonsense, close your stinky mouth as soon as possible, and be careful that Hongcui's girl comes out to slap your face." ”

Also, Hongcui is not easy to mess with. They know that Hongcui is a child's man. Although he doesn't have a name yet, he will definitely be an aunt in the future. They had already seen Hongcui's mouth, which was definitely the realm of stone listening to stone avalanches and birds listening to birds falling, and it was not something that a few bald monks could resist.

It's so late, why don't they come out yet? Randie thinks like this, was it late to play last night? Jun Gongzi is not a man, and he is virtuous when he sees a woman. Besides, Hongcui's girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Born in Yichun Courtyard and grew up in Yichun Courtyard, what have you never seen? Seeing a man is the same as a cat seeing a fish, can you spare such a delicate son? It's no wonder if you don't eat him raw.

"Second devil, are you lazy? Sue me, did you eat the boy chicken I smoked for my son last night? You thief, not only women, but also chickens? ”

With a scolding, Hongcui followed Gongzi to appear in the martial arts hall. Seeing Childe, Butterfly hurriedly got up from the chair, carefully stood aside, and respectfully greeted Childe.

The three of them stood aside and waited for the son to speak. Ai Gongzi walked over gracefully, followed by Hongcui. When he walked past Randie, he grabbed the corner of Hongcui's clothes and asked in a daze, "What did you do with Childe last night?" ”

Hongcui shook off his hand and said, "Take away your dirty hands." What can you do, what can you do? Slept. No, what about my chicken, did you eat it? ”

He glanced at Zuichun with a smile and said, "I'm also a child, don't you know?" But I didn't eat your chicken, that guy did. His eyes glanced at Drunken Spring.

Butterfly's voice was low, but Drunken Spring had already heard it. He glared at Butterfly fiercely and waved his fist to shut up.

Childe stood in the middle of the martial arts hall. Dark incense drove forward and asked, "The silk for the Interior House has been prepared, and it can be sent away today." I chose a few honest and reliable guys, and if there is nothing to do on the road, I can reach Jingshi at the end of the month. ”

Childe nodded and said to Hongcui, "You accompany me to the street." ”

When she heard that she was going to go to the street, Hongcui was naturally happy, but the four guards were unwilling. Dark incense leaned forward and bowed her head and whispered, "Childe is on the street, and there is no one around him." I think it's better for us to go with Childe for a while. ”

Randie also echoed and said: "Yes, yes, today is the temple fair on Shuiximen Street, why do we have to go to have a lively time." "It's nice to say, in fact, he has other plans, what a lot of excitement, he went to the woman of the temple fair. Everyone knows that there will be a lot of handsome girls and young ladies coming out during the temple fair. You can't touch it, and it's eye-catching to look at.

Dark incense said in a high-sounding voice. Childe has nothing to refute. He nodded slightly, first stepped out of the martial arts hall, then the hall of the Splendid Hall, and finally the gate, outside the gate was the downtown street of Shuiximen.
