The next day was the New Year.

Early in the morning, the Prime Minister's Mansion was busy everywhere.

In Moxiangyuan, there is no slack at all, everyone is busy getting up early.

Lianxin and Forsythia are busy steaming pastries and preparing meals, Qingman and Zizhu are busy cutting window flowers and pasting window flowers, Yuzhu and agarwood are better, and they are busy climbing and pasting Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns, and Qi's mother and Rong's mother are busy sprinkling and sweeping inside and outside the house, up to the cobwebs of the eaves, and down to the dust in the corners, all of which are carefully cleaned and cleaned. And Banxia is even more busy running in front of and behind the house, serving this and handing that to everyone.

The eldest grandson Changqing saw that everyone was busy, as if she was the most idle, so she couldn't stay a little anymore. For a while, she pestered Qingman and Zizhu to teach her to cut window flowers, and for a while, she crossed her waist to direct Yuzhu and Agarwood to paste Spring Festival couplets, and then ran over to see if Qi's mother was clean when they sprinkled and cleaned, and then ran to the kitchen to let Lianxin and Forsythia help her bake sweet potatoes. Everyone was really made to cry and laugh by her excessive activity, and begged for mercy one after another, so that she would not follow and make trouble everywhere. The eldest grandson, Changqing, who was driven aside, sat in the house angrily, really having nothing to do, so he could only sit and pull the handkerchief fiercely.

"What's going on? Who's upsetting you again? As soon as Chu Xiuyuan entered the door, he saw the eldest grandson Changqing who was puffing up his handkerchief.

"They don't want me to help." The eldest grandson, Changqing, pouted and ran towards Chu Xiuyuan aggrievedly.

"Isn't it good to let you rest?" Chu Xiuyuan smiled and scratched the nose of the eldest grandson Changqing.

"Of course it's not good, I can't help with anything, I feel like I'm useless!" The eldest grandson, Changqing, was a little aggrieved.

"Okay, don't be wronged! I'm not looking for you here, do you have something to do? Come with me to your father's study, and discuss something. Chu Xiuyuan took the little hand of the eldest grandson Changqing and led her out.

The eldest grandson Kongqing's study.

"What did Daddy call us for?" The eldest grandson Changqing asked suspiciously.

"Qing'er, Xiuyuan said that he would take you out of the house after the New Year, I thought about it, you will leave after the first month, this time, I don't know when I will come back, my father is really reluctant in his heart. Although over the years, your mother is gone, and I am busy with official business, I rarely take care of you, how many grievances you have, my father also knows a little, and my father is ashamed of your mother and you! After that, you have to ...... Be kind to yourself. The eldest grandson Kongqing sighed as he spoke, as if the eldest grandson Changqing would never come back when he went out.

"What did Daddy say? It's as if I went and never came back. Changqing didn't blame his father, his father was busy with official business on weekdays, and he rarely had time to take care of him in the house, so Changqing naturally knew. Besides, Daddy's teaching to Changqing has never been left behind, Changqing has never resented Daddy, and Daddy doesn't have to mind too much. "The eldest grandson Changqing naturally knew in his heart that the eldest grandson Kongqing was actually very good to himself because of the obsession with his mother. Look at other people's houses, but how many of the children who are not in the biological mother and have no mother to rely on can be valued and carefully cultivated by the family? It is not easy for me to be under the care of the eldest grandson Kongqing and get the careful teaching of the best master.

"Daddy knows that you are a good and sensible boy, more sensible than Huaijin and Yue'er, but in the future, if Daddy is gone, I hope you can take care of Huaijin and Yue'er more. Huaijin is more steady, but not like his mother, Yue'er has followed her mother since she was a child, and she is somewhat cautious, and her father knows it. Eldest Sun Kongqing sighed.

"Daddy, where are these words? Daddy is still healthy, this is almost the New Year, these words are not allowed to be said. Huaijin and Yue'er are my brother-in-law's younger brother and sister, how could I not take care of them? Daddy and peace of mind. One day with me, I won't let people bully them. The eldest grandson Changqing was a little surprised in his heart, and always felt that the eldest grandson Kongqing had something to say today.

"Xiuyuan, although I don't know where you are...... What happened, but I entrusted Qing'er to you, and it can be regarded as fulfilling her mother's instructions before she died, and I hope that you will treat Qing'er well in the future, and you must not let her down. Otherwise, I would have fought for this old life, and I would have to keep the last wish of Qing'er Niang before she died. Wait for Qing'er to go back in the future...... I hope you will bring her back from time to time. "Every time the eldest grandson Kongqing mentions the biological mother of the eldest grandson Changqing, his expression is always gloomy, as if he has a lot of thoughts.

"Father-in-law, rest assured, Changqing is Xiuyuan's destiny in this life, and I will not fail her." Chu Xiuyuan clenched the hand of the eldest grandson Changqing, his expression awe-inspiring.

"Well, you all have your own mission. Let's go back first, don't forget to go to the front hall early in the evening, and leave it for dinner, leaving your Chu Mansion for Qing'er, it's just an empty shell. After the eldest grandson Kongqing finished speaking, he waved his hand and sent them out.

"What does Daddy mean? How can you say that your Chu Mansion is an empty shell? "Eldest grandson Changqing feels like there are a lot of questions today! I always felt that there seemed to be some dumb riddle between the eldest grandson Kongqing and Chu Xiuyuan, and I also felt that I was the one in the mystery.

"Because the land of Chu Mansion was built according to Moxiangyuan, I was afraid that someone with a heart would occupy it, so I bought it early, and I was alone in it, with a housekeeper and a few mothers-in-law who sprinkled and cleaned, isn't it an empty shell?" Chu Xiuyuan didn't hide it this time.

"Bought early? How early? The eldest grandson Changqing said angrily.

"Probably the year your mother gave birth to you."

"What? Wasn't that twelve years ago? You were only seventeen or eighteen, and twelve years ago you were only four or five years old. The eldest grandson, Changqing, was even more surprised.

"yes, I'm seventeen years old." Chu Xiuyuan looked at the eldest grandson Changqing and smiled dotingly.

"Twelve years ago, I saw you, at that time, you were small, holding a small lump in your hand, much uglier than now, I was really worried that you were an ugly girl at that time!" Chu Xiuyuan teased with a smile.

"What? Do you call me ugly? So you mean that if I'm ugly, you don't want me? The eldest grandson Changqing waved his small fist, a little unhappy.

"No, I like it no matter what you look like. And you ...... And you're not going to be ugly. Chu Xiuyuan's eyes flashed slightly.

"Why?" Hearing what Chu Xiuyuan said, the eldest grandson Changqing was puzzled.

"Because your mother is a very beautiful woman, you will not grow crooked."

"My mother? Why have I never seen a portrait of my mother in the house? It is said that my father is so affectionate to his mother, how can he not even leave a portrait of her? The eldest grandson, Changqing, became more and more suspicious.

"Why are you so much, in the future, you will definitely see your mother...... Portraits. Chu Xiuyuan gently knocked on the little head of the eldest grandson Changqing and smiled.

The two laughed and returned to Moxiangyuan, because of Chu Xiuyuan's company, the eldest grandson Changqing looked at the busy figure in the courtyard again, and it was no longer an eyesore, and he didn't feel that he was an idler.

Thinking so, he paced to the small kitchen to see what Lianxin and the others were cooking for lunch.

"Lianxin, what are you doing here? Crystal clear, good-looking tight. The eldest grandson, Changqing, stared at a plate of delicate pastries, his eyes shining.

"Oh, Forsythia, what are you doing here? It's white, and it looks delicious. The two of you are so capable, if you run out of money in the future, you can open a small shop with the two of you, and you can make a lot of money! The eldest grandson Changqing walked around the kitchen, suffering from Chu Xiuyuan behind her, Forsythia and Lianxin both restrained their usual casual and eldest grandson Changqing, and they didn't even dare to open their mouths.

"Xiuyuan, look, forsythia and they baked sweet potatoes for me! Would you like to eat one? I grew it myself, and it's so sweet! The eldest grandson Changqing took out the baked sweet potatoes from the stove like a treasure, and she exclaimed when they were hot.

Chu Xiuyuan hurriedly reached out and grabbed the sweet potato and put it on the table next to him, "Is it hot?" Holding her slightly red hand, Chu Xiuyuan was distressed.

Then he waved his sleeves and said angrily: "How do you serve? Are you so lazy on weekdays? ”

Forsythia and Lianxin on the side were frightened and hurriedly knelt down: "The son spares his life, it's the slave who is slacking." ”

"What are you doing here? It's none of their business, I'm used to playing with them, and I don't let them bring it to me, and I like to eat it hot from the stove. When the eldest grandson Changqing saw the two who were frightened by Chu Xiuyuan, he quickly pulled Chu Xiuyuan's sleeve and wrapped his arms around Chu Xiuyuan's waist flatteringly, "Okay, Xiuyuan, don't be angry, don't be angry." Then he stood on tiptoe and kissed Chu Xiuyuan on the lips.

Seeing the nervous appearance of the eldest grandson Changqing, Chu Xiuyuan couldn't help but be a little funny, did this girl deliberately please him, so that he could spare those two little girls? "That's it, don't make an example."

"Why are you still stunned, what should you do, why do you go!" The eldest grandson, Changqing, turned around and hurriedly waved his hand at Lianxin and the others.

"I know that Xiuyuan is the most gentle." The eldest grandson, Changqing, continued to be coquettish.

The forsythia who were steaming pastries on the side, and the forsythia who had just escaped from death felt a chill in their hearts, and Chu Gongzi was gentle? I'm afraid that only my own lady thinks so.

The eldest grandson Changqing took out a handkerchief and carefully wrapped the baked sweet potatoes, then found a spoon, picked the sweet potato skin from the middle of the sweet potato, carefully dug the sweet potato with a spoon, dug a spoonful, and sent it to Chu Xiuyuan's mouth, "Xiuyuan, you taste it." ”

Chu Xiuyuan looked at the smile of the eldest grandson Changqing dotingly, and took a spoonful of sweet potatoes into his mouth, "Well, it's very sweet." ”

"I'll just say it's sweet, right? Don't look at who planted it, huh. The eldest grandson Changqing snorted twice, but it amused Chu Xiuyuan, how could this little girl be so cute.

All day long, Chu Xiuyuan accompanied the eldest grandson Changqing. Seeing her so lively, my heart is also full of warmth. I hope that in this life, I can always smile and see her laughing and making noise so happily, and I hope she can always be so carefree in this life.

Before you know it, it's evening.

"Miss, son, the master sent someone over to summon you to the front hall for dinner." There was a sound of jade bamboo outside the door.

"Got it, you go back to him, and say we're going here." The eldest grandson Changqing responded.

"Call Qingman and Zizhu to freshen up and change my clothes." The eldest grandson Changqing commanded.

After a while, Qingman and Zizhu dressed up the eldest grandson Changqing, the pink and tender little face was not powdered, the milky yellow skirt gown, and the front of the gown hung two tied braids, which were very delicate.

"Our young lady, it's just good-looking." The green vines on the side praised sincerely.

Chu Xiuyuan had been sitting in the room drinking tea, and when he saw the little person in front of him grooming and dressing up, seeing her even if she was plain and clean, it was difficult to hide her appearance like a painting, and his heart was even more happy.
