"Master, when my subordinates found you this courtyard, I saw that this alley was secluded and unobtrusive, and the house opposite was uninhabited all year round. Now that the family is here, do you need your subordinates to find another place to live for you? "Two twins, dressed in black but with average appearance, were kneeling on the ground and replying.

And the man on the throne was the handsome scholar who helped Chu Qingruo in Fanyin Temple use ten taels of silver to send away the scoundrel Han Laisan.

The two men in black kneeling on the ground are his most powerful subordinates and henchmen, Party A and Party B. They are twin sons, with dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and burly figures, both in voice and appearance, and in their movements and demeanors, which often makes it difficult to distinguish which one is which.

The scholar raised his hand and interrupted them: "It's okay, I have met with the master of that house, a girl in her teens, looking like an ordinary woman." It's okay. At most, everyone will be careful when they go in and out in the future. ”

Party B was not at ease: "Master, I think for the sake of safety, let's find another place!" ”

"Party B is right, we ...... master"

"Heh, I understand what you mean, it's just that this imperial capital is full of people, even if you find a secluded place, there is no guarantee that there will be other people moving in in the future. In my opinion, it is better to be still than to be still, but it is not easy to attract attention. The scholar said with a light smile.

Party A and Party B glanced at each other, was silent for a moment, and clenched their fists: "It's still the master who thinks about Zhou Xiang, and his subordinates obey orders." ”

"Okay, you've worked hard, change your clothes and go down to rest."

"Yes!"

Today is the first day of moving to Papaya Lane, this small courtyard makes her feel like she is back in Wutong Village, a rare good mood, so that she did not read her words in the room, moved a pestle and sat in the yard to watch Zhou's mother choose vegetables with interest. Ah Ju, Chunju, and Dongzhu ran in and out energetically, visiting this strange courtyard, and from time to time let out a series of laughter like silver bells.

Han Ling'er brought a plate of tea and snacks over and placed them on the stone table in the courtyard. poured a cup for Chu Qingruo, handed it to her, then sat down and sighed pleasantly:

"Whew~ It's finally all packed. Girl, I used to hear you talk about how comfortable life was in Wutong Village, but I didn't believe it. After living in the Chu family for a period of time, and now living in this courtyard again, I can be regarded as having a deep understanding. Away from those intrigues, it's really happy like a fairy! ”

Mother Zhou and Chu Qingruo glanced at each other, and both laughed. Although Han Ling'er is as old as Chu Qingruo, her temperament can't calm down no matter what, and the past two years in the Chu family have really suffocated her.

Zhou's mother chose the green cabbage in her hand, and her round face was also a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time. Not to mention that Han Ling'er was the daughter of the dart head and felt tired in the Chu family, even she, who had come out of the Chu family, felt that it was a bottomless mud pool, as long as it was stained, it would be a trouble and headache that could not be shaken off.

It's better to move out, if they had known that there was such a quiet small courtyard in the old lady's dowry for the young lady, their master and servant would probably not be in the Chu family a long time ago.

After living in Papaya Lane, Chu Qingruo changed his previous habit of not going out of the Chu Mansion behind closed doors, and held Zhou's mother's arm affectionately every day, and went to the market with her to buy and hang out. Look at the freshness of this dish, the crisp and sweet melons and fruits, as if a different person.

Early this morning, she walked out of the yard with Zhou's mother as usual, ready to go to the market to buy. Sister Cheng came out of confinement and came to the post to invite her to come over to talk, she wanted to ask Zhou's mother to make a few good snacks and bring them over to taste with her. As soon as I got out of the courtyard, I saw that the scholar in the opposite courtyard happened to come out.

The one on the other side looked at her in surprise and closed the courtyard door with his backhand. walked over, gave a salute and said, "Girl, you are polite here." ”

Chu Qingruo was a little at a loss by his sudden visit, and hurriedly returned the salute: "The little girl is also polite." Zhou's mother hurriedly returned the salute and asked, "What do you call it?" ”

"Under the surname Sheng, Ri Chengsheng, he teaches in a private school in the city, and lives in the courtyard opposite his mother. Mom is a new move to Papaya Lane to live, and in the future, the street to the door will be a neighborhood, if there is anything missing, please bear with me. After saying that, he gave another salute.

"Oh, our master's surname is Chu, my name is Mother Zhou, and I will ask Mr. Sheng to take care of me in the future."

"Mother Zhou is polite! That Chu girl, Mother Zhou, don't bother for now, say goodbye! ”

"Hey, hey, Mr. Sheng is going well." After seeing Mr. Sheng leave, Zhou's mother glanced at the thoughtful young lady and asked strangely, "Miss, what are you thinking?" ”

Chu Qingruo came back to her senses, shook her head, and pulled her up with a smile: "It's nothing, let's go, let's go grocery shopping." Sister Cheng is still waiting for us. "Secretly funny:

Richengsheng? Splendor? I'm afraid it's not my real name, right? Does the family name have this surname? Forget it, it's just an irrelevant neighbor, just a few sides, and you don't need to dig deeper. Now the top priority is to lure out the poisonous snake in Uncle Guo's mansion!

Mr. Sheng said goodbye to the two of them and hurriedly walked on the way to the private school. When he passed a street corner, a man dressed as a butler gestured at him on the window sill on the second floor of a teahouse on the corner. He looked left and right, nodded slightly at the man, and strode off the other side of the street......

Chu Qingruo and Han Ling'er came to the gate of the Mighty General's Mansion with a red lacquer and gold food box. The porter got the instruction of Chu Qing to come today, and warmly welcomed them in.

From afar, I heard Xiong Ping's loud and joyful voice instructing his subordinates: "You two go and move the peonies in the yard to the yard of the young lady, so that the young lady will look happier and feel better." By the way, there are also a few pots of bamboo, take them to my uncle's room. And you, go and see how Miss's chicken soup is doing, if it's ready, quickly put a bowl and give it to Miss to drink."

"Uncle Xiong! What are you busy with? Chu Qingruo called him and stepped into the front hall with a smile.

"Oh, Miss Chu is here? Come on, come on, see if I have someone buy something for Miss today, you can help me palm my eyes, will these young ladies like it? Xiong Ping was like a child who invited merit, showing a smug look.

Han Ling'er let go of Chu Qingruo's hand, put the food box on a coffee table, ran over to take a look, and sneered: "Uncle Xiong, did you sell it to your young lady, or did you buy it from your young master?" ”

Chu Qingruo also walked over, looked down at a large bamboo basket at Xiong Ping's feet, and saw that it contained a cow tendon slingshot, a small bamboo sword, a spinning top "cheap bone" that would run all over the ground with a whip, and a few fireworks "Jumping Monkey" that would pierce the sky with a scream at a little bit, etc., a basket full of strange things.

Chu Qingruo also smiled: "Uncle Xiong, your straight brother is not yet full moon, and these things can't be played yet." Uncle Xiong, did you buy it too early? ”

Brother Zhier, Cheng Yujiao's son, Cheng Shangzhi. Lu Yiqing's protest was ineffective, and his own son took his mother's surname, so he could only give him the name Muyi.

Loyal and righteous, Ya is still lonely.

Xiong Ping heard the two of them say this, and grinned: "That's right, this is what we bought for our young lady." I heard the aunt of the Qi family say that women are especially prone to have some bad thoughts after giving birth, and if they are not well explained, it is easy to think about it, and it is easy to fall into the root of the disease if they are depressed. ”

Chu Qingruo and Han Ling'er couldn't help but praise him, saying that he was as careful as a hair, and he really thought about everything for Sister Cheng. The boasting Xiong Ping's rough face also gave birth to a bit of a big girl's twist.

While speaking, Deshun came in, and when he saw Chu Qingruo, he said happily: "Miss Chu is here?" Quick, the princess is waiting for you in the courtyard! ”

After Cheng Yujiao added a big fat boy to the Jiao family, Deshun insisted on changing her name to call her the princess, which made Cheng Yujiao have a headache.

Chu Qingruo and Han Ling'er saluted Xiong Ping slightly, and Xiong Ping waved his hand: "Go quickly, go quickly, I'll pull you to talk, let Miss wait in a hurry." Deshun, you take this basket of things, and lead Miss Liang and Miss Qiao in. ”

De complied and picked up the basket: "Miss Chu, Miss Han, please come here." ”

The three of them came to Cheng Yujiao's courtyard together, and saw the slightly plump Cheng Yujiao sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, holding a swaddling cloth wrapped in red brocade, and singing softly while shaking her hands:

"The reeds are high, the reeds are long, and the reeds are like snow and snow. The reed knows the wind the most, and the reed knows the wind the most.

The reeds are high, the reeds are long, and the reeds are playing hide and seek. How many high-ranking celebrities and fortunes are cowherds back then.

The reeds are high, the reeds are long, and they look at each other across the mountains and waters. The reed is the hometown, and the reed is the ocean.

The reeds are high, the reeds are long, and the reeds are busy weaving. Weave into my bag, accompany me to a distant place from now on.

The reeds are high, the reeds are long, the reed flute is melodious, the shepherd boy is in the distance, and the father and mother are concerned in the heart. ”

"I didn't expect Sister Cheng to have a good voice!"

Chu Qingruo and Han Ling'er couldn't help but want to applaud and cheer after listening to her song, but they were afraid of waking up the straight brother who had just fallen asleep, so they could only lower their voices and tiptoe over.

With their fingers, they gently brushed away the blackout weft veil blocking the straight brother's face, and they looked down at the baby's sleeping little face in disbelief, and their hearts were soft. In addition to the delicate facial features, there is also this small fluff visible to the naked eye, and the little mouth in his sleep pouts and spits out a few bubbles. It's so cute that you can't help but want to hug him and kiss him.

Cheng Yujiao looked at the two of them salivating funny, turned around and handed the child to the nurse standing next to her, and after signaling her to carry the child into the house, she turned her head and laughed at Chu Qingruo: "Don't envy me, you will have it soon." ”

Chu Qingruo was embarrassed, and Han Ling'er laughed.
