The sunset was red and half hung in the sky, and the spring breeze swept past Chang'an City with a hint of coolness.

At this time, Xu Promise, who was still lying on the steps, shrank back from the cold, sneezed coldly, sat up, looked at Youlan who was already sitting and said, "It's still a little cold this evening!" ”

Xu Promise looked at Youlan and nodded, then listened to the sound of someone unlocking the door outside the courtyard gate, Xu Promise got up, patted the dust on his clothes, walked lightly to the courtyard gate, and looked out through the crack of the door.

With a squeak, Xu Promise just opened the door, and the door was pushed open from the outside, Xu Promise hurriedly took a step back, and smiled awkwardly at the maid who opened the door, and saw the maid turned sideways towards the door, making way for Mrs. Ru behind her.

When he saw Mrs. Ru behind the maid, he instantly retracted, and the smile on his face stood in place and stared at Mrs. Ru with cold eyes.

"Oops! Although this is, my former yard! But now it's yours to live in. Won't you invite me in and sit down? Mrs. Ru said to the promise with a smile, took the lady's shelf, walked to the promise, pushed the promise, raised her feet and walked in.

Xu Promise looked at Youlan who was standing in the courtyard with her head down, slowly moved behind her, Xu Promise stretched out her hand behind her, took Youlan's hand, and said to Mrs. Ru, who was looking east and west: "Aunt Ru, what is the matter with you, please tell me quickly." ”

"Huh?" Mrs. Ru was looking at her former yard, and suddenly heard the words of the promise, she was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Oh! I'm here to tell you the boy you seduced. He is willing to marry you, and Mrs. Wang is also very happy to agree. ”

"No'er, I don't understand what my aunt said." Xu said flatly.

Xu Yue looked at Mrs. Ru and didn't pay attention to herself, but Mama Ni, who was beside Mrs. Ru, said with a smile: "Girl, our lady went to the Wang family to ask for your identity, and she just came back from the Wang family!" ”

"Mama's words, Nu'er can't understand it even more." Promise replied flatly.

"You don't know. Oh! That's right, it's my micro outside, how can you know! Mrs. Ru said, snorted coldly and said: "You and your prince, I and I have been seen by others, and now it is all over the street." For the sake of your reputation, I went to the palace of the prince today, I thought they would be unwilling, but who knows, they are willing. You're much better than your mother, she never knew how to hide, hehe! ”

After hearing so much, Xu Yu remembered that he fell yesterday, and looked at Mrs. Ru in horror and said, "You go to Wang's house and let Wang Lin marry me?" ”

"Huh! Have fun! You don't need to, you can seduce people by yourself, if you want to thank me, you don't need to, you just need to stay obediently for the rest of the days. Mrs. Ru looked at the promise with contempt and smiled.

Xu Promise closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in his heart, what and what is this! I went home happily, my father beat me indiscriminately, and you let people marry me for no reason.

Xu Promise closed his eyes angrily, and then Mrs. Ru said again: "I asked someone to send you a quilt, eat in the kitchen, and go get it yourself." ”

When Xu Promise opened his eyes, he saw Mrs. Ru walking out of his side, and the maid who came after her threw the quilt to the ground, and then turned around proudly and followed Mrs. Ru's steps.

Youlan looked at Xu Promise and looked at the quilt on the ground intently, and shouted with some worry: "Girl." ”

"Huh? What's wrong. Promise returned to his senses and asked suspiciously.

"It's alright, girl." Youlan saw that the promise was fine, bent down to pick up the quilt, and responded.

"Youlan, you are waiting for me here, I will go to the kitchen to get some food, and I will come back with a bucket." Xu Yu was stunned for a moment, then patted Youlan on the shoulder, and after speaking, turned around and ran out.

Half an hour later, Xu Yu found the kitchen door, looked at the brightly lit kitchen, took a breath, and found you, hey! I haven't been around at home since I was a child, but I didn't expect it! Now, in order to find a kitchen, half of the house has been turned around.

Listening to the clashing of pots and pans, smelling the aroma of food, Xu Promise walked in happily.

"That, that, hey! The elder sister ...... "Promise looked at the maids and mothers-in-law who were coming and going, smiled and wanted to ask where her food was, but no one paid attention to her."

Xu Promise watched everyone ignore her, and said in his heart that if you ignore me, then I will take it myself.

"Hey! What are you doing, this is Madame's dish, go and get busy. ”

Xu Promise was choosing the dishes on the table, when he suddenly heard the voice of a mother-in-law, and when he turned around, he was pushed by the mother-in-law.

"Hey! You ......" Xu Promise wanted to say a few words to her angrily, but when she thought that she had just come, she should not make trouble, so she smiled at the woman, closed her mouth obediently, and walked to the side.

Xu Promise had just walked a few steps, and saw a maid serving soup, she pasted it, and heard the maid say without replying: "You are here to get chicken soup for Gongzi, aren't you?" ”

Xu Yu didn't speak, looked at the busy maid, nodded, and said in his heart, is it Aunt Ru's son, it should be, since I was a child, I heard the maid around me say that Aunt Ru gave birth to a pair of good children, and she will please her father.

"Here, take it, don't spill it." Xu Yu was thinking about it, when he saw the maid turn around, handed her a cup of chicken soup, and instructed her seriously.

Xu Yu took the chicken soup, but his hands were a little hot, looking at the maid who turned around and was busy again, he hurriedly asked: "Sister, this is a little hot, does my sister know where the food box is?" ”

Xu Promise looked at the maid and didn't reply, pointed to a corner of the kitchen, and looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a row of shelves, neatly placed many food boxes.

Xu Promise put the chicken soup on a table, took the food box, put the chicken soup in it, looked at the people around, and found that no one paid attention to her, she reached out and served two dishes on the table, took a few full heads, took a few chopsticks, covered the food box, and hurriedly ran out.

Xu Yu just walked out of the house, looking outside the kitchen door, there was a wooden bucket for water, she looked back at the house, picked up the wooden bucket, and leisurely returned to Qiru Courtyard.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I heard Youlan shouting excitedly: "Girl, you're back." ”

Xu Promise smiled and nodded, and saw Youlan sitting on the steps with the quilt in her arms, and saw her come and put the quilt aside, Ying. Come here.

Xu Promise walked to Youlan's side, handed the food box to Youlan, and said to Youlan with a smile: "Let's eat first, and after eating, pack up and go to bed." ”

Xu Promise looked at Youlan, took out the food in the food box, took out his chopsticks, and handed them to Youlan, handed them to Youlan for a long time, no one answered, Xu Promise looked at Youlan in confusion, and listened to Youlan say: "Girl, you eat!" ”

Xu Promise sighed helplessly, and asked flatly: "Are you not hungry, or are you waiting for me to eat after eating, and then go back to the kitchen to eat, this is Uncle Guo's mansion, not the Su family, no one will wait for you to eat together, take it." ”

Xu Yue looked at Youlan with her head down, took the chopsticks, took another steamed bun, and said gently: "Here, eat a steamed bun!" When you're full, clean up the house in a while, it's up to you. ”

Youlan listened to what Xu promised to say, and immediately replied happily: "Yes, girl, I'll clean up the house myself in a while, you can rest." ”

Xu Promise smiled slightly and smiled: "Eat quickly!" ”

But after a while, the two of them promised the master and servant, and after eating, Youlan packed up the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the food box, got up and was about to leave with the food box, Xu Xu leaned on the quilt, and hurriedly said: "Put it there, I'll go in a while, you don't know the way." ”

"Girl, this—" Youlan replied with some hesitation.

Xu Yu got up and took the food box from Youlan's hand, and said to Youlan with a smile: "When you are familiar with it in the future, you will be allowed to do any work." ”

"Girl, then I'll fetch water and clean up the house." Youlan said with a smile to the promise.

"Okay, I'll help you clean up the house and go to deliver the food box." Promise smiled, lifted the bucket and handed it to Youlan.

Youlan took the bucket and said embarrassedly: "Girl, I'll just come by myself, you go and deliver the food box!" I'll pack it up when you come back. ”

"How long are you going to clean up such a big house? Together, we can clean up quickly, and we can go to bed early when we finish cleaning up early. Xu Yue glanced at the room behind him and explained to Youlan.

Xu Yu took off his coat, saw Youlan nodded, rolled up his sleeves again, and then followed Youlan to the well, and the two cooperated to bring the water out of the well.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Promise sat down on the steps outside the house tiredly, his face black from the dust.

"Girl, I'll take care of the rest, you go and deliver the food box!" Youlan walked out of the room and said to Promise who was sitting on the ground.

"Okay, I'll go and come back quickly, I'll help you when I come back." Promise replied breathlessly.

Xu Promise got up slowly, carried the food box put aside, and walked out of the yard slowly.

After a while, Xu Yu walked to the kitchen, looked into the house as he walked, and found that there were not as many people in the room as before.

Xu Promise walked into the room, put the food box on the table, looked at the pastries on the other side, and thought about taking some back for supper.

Before he could take it, he heard a person coming behind him, and he hurriedly put it away, looked back, and found that it was a mother-in-law who came to pick up something.

Xu Promise watched her mother-in-law walk past her, and looked around, and a few maids who were busy were about to reach out to serve it, when she heard someone behind her say to her: "Hey! What do you do. ”

Xu Promise turned around, looked at the maid who was talking to her, and explained with a smile: "Girl, she wants to eat pastries, I don't know, which one is for the girl." ”

"Oh! It's a frosted cream, white. The maid pointed to the pastries on the table and said to Xu Promise.

"Thank you, sister." Xu promised to thank the maid with a grin.

Xu Promise swaggered to the shelf where the food box was put again, took a food box, walked to the table where the pastries were placed, and picked up a few plates of pastries that were full of color and flavor.

Xu Yu looked at the food box full of pastries, smiled with satisfaction, closed the lid, happily lifted the food box, and was about to leave, when he turned around and found that a young man led a few maids and servants into it.

Xu Yu hurriedly lowered his head slightly, and after lifting the food box, he walked towards the door with a calm expression.
