Now only Xu Hu is left with his grandchildren, and he is also handsome and obedient, and the old lady has always loved him, but unfortunately he is not only a concubine, but his temperament is also more weird, and he will not please the elders, so the old lady has never been raised by his side.

When the family was reunited in Linxia Pavilion, the old lady remembered Xu Hu and asked Yuelan to bring him over.

After Xu Hu came, he knelt down on his knees to say goodbye, and Liu said: "This kid is always silent, and no one knows what he is thinking?" It's a day to sit there, and another day to stand there. In addition to studying, it is just a dull appearance, which is really worrying. ”

The old lady couldn't help but worry, took Xu Hu's hand and said, "Or move to me, grandmother's side is very lively." ”

Xu Hu shook his head and said: "It's important to study, and besides, children are not used to living in an inner house, and it is inconvenient to have too many girls." ”

The old lady was very happy to hear this, and said with a smile: "Good boy." ”

Concubine An, who was sitting in the wife's seat, carefully looked at Xu Hu's appearance, inheriting the excellent bloodline of the Xu family's many handsome men and beauties, Yushu was in the wind, and asked Xiao Shi in private: "Brother Hu, how is this child?" ”

Xiao said: "I don't have to say anything about my character, they are stronger than my son in this life, they are the most nerdy, young and humble gentlemen." ”

Concubine An shook her head slightly, and she didn't know if her daughter liked too honest readers, based on the experience of people who came over, she was afraid that Lang Jun didn't know how to be gentle, and even when she was with her wife, she was serious, which was really boring.

Here, the old lady instructed: "Ask your third brother to take you to play, and go to the fun with the sisters and girls, and no one is allowed to bluff him." Then he instructed the girl: "Look at him, talk to him from time to time, don't be stupid." ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao's seat is full of sisters-in-law, and as a little uncle, he naturally can't play together. Xu Hao led Xu Hu to the table of Xu Cuiliu and Zhu Xianyuan, and the maid Xiuchun brought a cup and a pot of sweet wine, and lowered her head to walk out.

Xu Hao asked casually, "Where are you going?" ”

Xiuchun was the latest batch of girls to enter Daoxiangju, turned around and said, "Look at my godmother." ”

"Say hello to Mom for me."

Xu Hao finished talking to Xu Hu. Xu Hu sat in a proper manner, and he didn't dare to look at Zhu Xianyuan, who was handsome. Xu Cuiliu looked funny, and deliberately teased him with words, and after a while, Xu Hu's sweat flowed down his forehead, and Zhu Xianyuan on the opposite side felt a little restrained compared to the casualness when he was with Xu Jiang.

Here, Xiuchun went downstairs, greeted Musk Yue Zhiqing and the others who were eating on the first floor, picked up the food box prepared in advance, and went out of Linxia Pavilion. Step by step, I walked out of the garden.

At the Hanging Flower Gate, he reported his name to the four happy people who were on duty at night, and took the wooden sign out. When passing by the main hall of the outer house, I heard the voices of people inside, a large group of gentlemen pushed cups and changed lamps, ate wine and listened to plays, and thirty-four small servants set off fireworks in the alley.

Fire tree pear blossom, from time to time there are drill monkeys screaming and rushing into the night sky, Xiuchun slowly moved against the wall with fear, for fear of being blown up by two kicks and the like. The little servant Li San helped her lead the way in front, and finally bypassed the front hall and entered the west side of the inner house, handed over the wooden sign, and the lady in charge waved her in.

It turned out that most of the people lived here who were widows or married couples. The men of the Xu family are not at home when they go out on business, and they will also send their wives in to live, which is the Ming Dynasty version of the women's single dormitory, and it can be regarded as a forbidden place where men can't come in when they are idle. Especially at such a chaotic time as the festival, the door of the Xu family is more and more tight, and the reward is three times that of usual.

Xiuchun walked into Grandma Sang's yard. shouted: "Godmother, are you better today?" I'm here to see you. ”

Grandma Sang in the house responded: "Is it a show girl?" Thank you for your concern, and for coming to see me again. ”

Xiuchun walked into the house and saw Sang Xinshan sitting on the kang, looking a little ashamed. Grandma Sang lay on the kang and said, "Your brother is worried about me, and repeatedly begged Grandma Shu Er and Grandma Sixi, and she let him in to see me, what do you give me?" ”

Xiuchun said: "It's a bowl of cold sea cucumber, red stewed duck, steamed sea bass, and two pots of orange wine that are several years old. ”

Grandma Sang was naturally greedy, and said happily: "Hurry up and help your sister." ”

Sang Xinshan hurriedly took the food box and put it on the kang table, Xiuchun helped the godmother to sit up, and the three of them sat next to each other and talked to each other for a while.

The little guy who came with Xiuchun was named Li San, who was Li Dong's distant nephew, and Sixi deliberately asked him to accompany him, worried that there would be an accident when the road was slippery in the dark.

Grandma Sang made a look, and Xiuchun said to Li San: "You go back first, I'll sit for a while and leave, if someone looks for me, you just say that you don't know the way, let me accompany my godmother more." ”

Li San agreed, Grandma Sang gave him a hundred Wenbao banknotes, sent the person away, took Xiuchun's hand and said: "Child, Godmother has a long-term message to say to you, there is no time, it just so happens that you came here today, your brother is also here."

I think I have no children and no daughters, your brother is also worshiped like you, he also loves me like you, you see that he is also handsome, three years older than you, he has a good temperament, and he will be gentle, he is a good child. I think you don't have a good day in it, there are a lot of people around the young master, except for a few who have served him since childhood, no one has touched them in the past few years. Even if you open your eyes one day and have a spring breeze with you, can you still expect to give birth to a boy and a girl?

If you want me to say that you look good, you are no less delicate than Miss, but you are not as good as a monogamous, and your brother has never been engaged, you are a good couple made in heaven, and it is interesting for a long time. ”

To say that Xiuchun's parents died when they were guarding Beiping, it was because Xu Hao took care of her on weekdays, and did not treat her as a maid, so she was raised like a daughter like Xiao Yezi.

In Daoxiangju Xiuchun life is very comfortable, do your own thing, a lot of leisure time can be used to read and write, play the piano and paint, play everywhere, there are many people are not afraid of loneliness, if you want to do things, you can also help. Bookkeeping, medical science, human contacts, if you want to learn, someone will teach you.

However, out of consideration for her reputation, Xu Hao has always disagreed with her going to the study or serving her daily life, which made Xiuchun a little disappointed and dissatisfied.

If there was no cause and effect of Xu Hao, Xiuchun, who had no father and no mother, might have nodded and agreed because he was not deeply involved in the world.

Grandma Sang has a good calculation, knowing that Xiuchun is a good-tempered and soft face, as long as she agrees, she will openly and honestly tell the ugly thing that she and her godson have a leg, and nine times out of ten Xiuchun will not say anything.

Whether in the past or now, many girls are just so confused. was casually coaxed by a man to take advantage of others, even if three or four girls were insulted at the same time, none of them resisted and refused. Xiuchun is such a person, even if he and Grandma Sang and Sang Xinshan, they don't feel that there is anything wrong.

However, today's Xiuchun is more or less influenced by Daoxiangju, and his vision has become very high, although he is in a deep mansion compound, but the Xu family has never lacked young and promising young Junyan, most of the little guys have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they will go to the military academy for training at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Becoming officers in their twenties abounds.

The environment is different, people's ideas will naturally become different, the Xu family is not an ordinary ancient wealthy family, it looks vibrant from the inside out, there are many good men in the family, how can Xiuchun look at the new handle of Sang who eats soft rice? As Grandma Sang said, she looks like a top-notch character among maids of a similar age, and she is a beautiful beauty who does not worry about getting married.

At that moment, Xiuchun lowered his head and said, "It's not that I don't listen to my godmother." But the young master said several times that he wanted to marry the slave family in person, and he wanted to marry his daughter in a beautiful way, without the young master's consent, please forgive my daughter for not agreeing. ”

Grandma Sang was annoyed and angry when she heard this. sneered: "It turned out that you climbed the high branches, no wonder you don't come to see me these days, don't forget that when you were seriously ill, it was the old lady who rescued you one by one." ”

Sang Xinshank also swept away the gentleness just now. stood up with a hideous expression, meaning that he simply took the opportunity to force her, so that he didn't give up on marrying him?

Let's talk about Linxia Pavilion. Xu Hao saw that Xiuchun didn't come back for a long time, and said, "Chun'er went to visit her godmother, who is going to call her back?" ”

Xu Cuiliu's personal big girl Luan'er said: "I'll go find the spring girl." After speaking, he jumped out of the lun, and saw Xiao Yezi snuggled in Xiangling's arms, and stepped forward to pinch her little nose, "I'm going out of the lun, are you going?" ”

Xiao Yezi opened his eyes in a daze and asked, "Where is Ye'er?" ”

Luan'er couldn't help but laugh and said: "I know that Ye Er, Ye Er, he is still in Mu Wangfu and has not come back." ”

"Haven't you come back yet?" Xiao Yezi was very disappointed, "I knew that I would go with him, and I blamed my mother, saying that the girl's family could only go out in the second year of junior high school." ”

Xiangling couldn't help but smile: "Little fool! Your mother coaxed you. Sister-in-law Ye is really good, she pays attention to these things at such a young age. ”

Luan'er stretched out her hand and said, "Come with me, it just so happens that your mother is at the Hanging Flower Gate." ”

On the side of the weeping flower gate, the women also put up a table of banquets, Shu Erniang was a little worried, everyone knew that her younger brother had been weak and sick since he was a child, and he had not slept well in recent days, and he often didn't sleep all night.

In order to please her, Sister-in-law Ye said: "Suzhou Yaowang Temple is very effective, regardless of any disease, go to the temple to ask for a sign, take it according to the medicine on the sign, and there is no bad one." Because my daughter couldn't sleep well, I begged someone to bring it back and sign it, and I took it with me, and there were not many medicines on it. ”

took out a sticker from the purse, and Sixi and Zhulan and others all looked at it: the medicine king Lingqi signed the forty-sixth auspiciousness, the three coins of Poria cocos did not see iron, the ginseng money was half filed like crumbs, and the lotus root was fried in river water, and then the blood of the raw person was taken when served.

Zhulan said: "This recipe can also be eaten, but this introduction is difficult to find." ”

An old woman said: "There is everything in the house on the prescription, fry it and try it." The old body of the introduction came up with a way to replace it, and the good safflower used three points, which can probably replace the blood. ”

Shu Erniang said: "If you can cure his illness, what does it matter if you take my blood?" It's just that the medicinal herbs have to be begged for everywhere, which is inevitably earth-shattering, and my younger brother is not comfortable eating it. ”

Sister-in-law Ye said with a smile: "I have ready-made ginseng, Poria cocos and lotus root, and the safflower Xiangxuan has it in her hand." ”

Shu Erniang smiled and thanked solemnly: "No matter how good it is or not, this time I have received the love of my sister-in-law, I have offended before, please forgive me." ”

At this time, Luan'er walked over with Xiao Yezi in her left hand and an octagonal palace lamp in her right hand, Shu Erniang beckoned to her and asked, "Your mother said that you have a birthday today, did you eat noodles?" ”

Xiao Yezi replied in a crisp voice: "Godfather cooked me a bowl of eel noodles, and my godmother made a bowl of three fresh noodles, I couldn't eat it, so I begged my godfather to help me eat three fresh noodles, and my godmother helped me eat eel noodles." ”

"Amitabha!" Shu Erniang exclaimed: "Your creation is not comparable to a genuine girl, except for the green bamboo girl, who in the family has eaten the noodles cooked by the third young master?" ”

Zhulan said with a smile: "Speaking of eating noodles, today's mother Liu said that it is not an inner house, there are four tables in the listening room, and we are also four tables this day, and other tea rooms guarding the door, etc., it is not enough to eat noodles for 600 catties." ”

Yuelan sneered: "You listen to her nonsense, everyone within the Hanging Flower Gate eats until their stomachs are swollen, and they don't need more than two or three hundred catties of noodles." Every birthday has not exceeded this number, not to mention that today's table is full of dishes, and even Xiao Ye can't eat a bowl, most of them are reported as an imaginary number, and the dry noodles are privately evenly divided. ”

"Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, turn a blind eye." Shu Erniang smiled, "To say that this noodle is really rare, it is the craftsmanship of the ancestors of Shaanxi farmers, there are eighteen gaps in each noodle, the taste is very unique, and it is said that it can't make many catties all year round." Thanks to the young master, he can find it, and he is not allowed to say it, for fear of being used as a tribute to the people, although noodles are not expensive but they are scarce, they are all thinking of giving them to relatives as gifts, and the country's family is used for birthdays, and there is a lining and face. ”

Luan'er listened to the sisters-in-law's endless talk, and said in Zhulan's ear: "The young master asked me to go to find Xiuchun, but she went for a long time and didn't return." ”

Zhulan said: "I've been walking for a while, I'm just going to dissipate my food and alcohol, let's go together." ”

Leaving Xiao Yezi by her mother's side, they came out with lanterns and came to the door of Grandma Sang's yard amid the deafening sound of firecrackers in the capital.

Suddenly, a figure stumbled out, Zhulan was startled and shouted, "Who is it?" ”

Luan'er was bold and careful, and immediately realized that it was a woman, hugged the other party and shouted, "It's Xiuchun." ”

"Let's go." Xiuchun, who had messy hair, was shocked, "It's not appropriate to make a disturbance today, let's get out of here quickly." ”

Zhulan frowned and looked at the courtyard, she couldn't see anything clearly when the black light was blind, and helped Xiuchun to leave quickly.

In the room, Sang Xinshan, who was covering his face and being stabbed by the hairpin, shouted in panic: "What should I do? Will the slut be exposed? ”

Grandma Sang scolded: "Waste, even a girl can't control it." Don't panic, she will never dare to publicize such ugly things, and besides, I am also the nurse of the third young master, who dares to do anything to me? ”

Sang Xinshan said fearfully: "But she is unusual in the eyes of the young master." Alas! Hurry up and help me think of a way, get her, and the two of us will be just around the corner. ”

"It's just a yellow-flowered girl who has not dried up." Grandma Sang sneered, "If the hard one doesn't work, come to the soft one, get some medicine and pour it down, don't worry if she doesn't obey her orders." It's all your fault, you need to be patient for a few days, and let her lose her guard first. (To be continued......)
