The courtyard of the Su family, the scenery is the best at this time, the sun is just about to set on the distant mountain, obliquely fainting on the bluestone slab in the courtyard, such as sprinkled with broken gold in the courtyard.

The stone bench in the courtyard, one big and one small, two beauties sat on it, but the little one really couldn't sit still, and after a while, his ass was like a nail, and he leaned his face to the front and whispered in the ear of the big beauty.

"Where can I rest assured that the young master went out alone, so he secretly followed behind, but girl, guess where the young master went, Zuiyue Building is a serious place to eat, not a messy pickled place. Xiao Cumin shook the two pigtails on her head and chattered, and then cautiously raised her eyes to see the girl's expression, which was not much joy and anger.

"Are you sneaking out just for this, don't do these boring things next time. Wu Muxin said unhurriedly, because staring at the afterglow of the slanting sun on the horizon made her eyes as dark as the night seem to have a light beating.

"I'm really worried about the young master, just his stupid appearance, he was sold, I'm afraid I still have to help the people pay for it, yesterday it must have been that fox who used other means, otherwise the young master he wouldn't. ”

"Won't anything?" Wu Muxin narrowed his good-looking eyes and looked at Xiao Cun, who was talking around the corner, funny.

Xiao Wei lowered her head and hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "If it weren't for those charms like fire, the young master would definitely not be in the same room with a woman named Qin Ruye." Don't you know, even I, a woman, feel really seductive when I look at that fox. ”

"How old are you, dare to call yourself a woman. Wu Muxin tapped cumin's forehead, and couldn't help but smile and said: "A little girl knows what charm methods she has, and she dares to come and be a lobbyist." ”

"It's a woman. Xiao Cumin said angrily, breaking the extra black hair on both sides into a thousand knots.

Looking at the little girl who was making a fool of herself, Wu Muxin took a light breath and said lazily: "What's more, haven't you always hated him the most, saying that he is a moth who only rolls in the pile of fat powder all day long and has no contribution to the Su family, why did he suddenly turn around and say good things for him today? Could it be that he is short of hands and accepts his good things?"

"No, no. ”

Xiao Cun was resigned, and then said: "Xiao Cun just doesn't want to see the girl unhappy, as soon as the girl is unhappy, the atmosphere of the entire Su family is silent and depressed, and everyone is also weak to do their own things, and they don't even like to talk." ”

Looking up at the sunset that was about to set, and looking at the street in the distance, Wu Muxin breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and said to himself: "Xiao Yan, you should go to the kitchen to see if the dinner for the evening is ready." ”

"Okay. Hearing this, Xiao Wei stood up obediently, and was about to go out, but suddenly heard the voice of the girl behind her: "Wait a minute, put this secretly into the man's walnut cake." As he spoke, he took out a small gourd-like porcelain bottle from his arms, took it and put it under his nose curiously and sniffed it.

"It is. Xiao Cumin suddenly covered her mouth silently, a smile crossed the corner of her mouth, and the spirit moved, and in an instant, she picked up the bottle and ran out of the courtyard happily.

"Well, after eating these croton noodles, the young master is afraid that he will have to bear it tonight, but there will be a big competition tomorrow, forget it, let's put half of it into the young master's walnut crisp first." She seemed to be very satisfied with her thoughts, and Xiao Cumin was even more proud on her face. "Young master, young master, after eating Lou Chuan's walnut crisp, don't be used to tasting the ones at home, you have to eat a few more pieces." ”

Su Qinghuang's figure vaguely appeared at the end of the alley, staggering past the door, Li Yan was carefully sweeping the dust in front of the door, looking at his young master's disheveled clothes, he didn't recognize it at first, until he got closer, Li Yan stared at the faint old eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Young master, what's wrong with you, is it, how can our girl do it." ”

Su Qinghuang was confused, "Uncle Li, what are you talking about?"

Li Yan pulled the opening on Su Qing's yellow shirt distressedly, especially in a few places on his chest, the flesh injuries inside were still faintly visible, and said distressedly: "The injuries on your body are not done by the girl, it must be the girl who complains that you went to the place like the boat." It's not that I'm a mouthy person at the moment, it's really that kind of place, and I can't let Miss Mu Xin know. Li Yan advised bitterly.

Only then did Su Qinghuang understand that this old-fashioned old man, who was over half a hundred years old, obviously thought things crookedly to the point that he couldn't be crooked.

Su Qinghuang patiently explained: "Uncle Li, this thing was not done by Mu Xin, it was caused by my discussion with others, I suffered a little flesh wound, wait until I sleep enough tonight to calm my nerves, and when I get up tomorrow morning, I won't even leave a little scar, you always put your heart in your stomach." ”

"Yes, that's good, that's good, I said, how could Mu Xin be such a good girl?" Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then put his heart in his stomach.

"Then Uncle Li, do we have to settle our accounts first? Looking at the old man's peaceful appearance, Su Qinghuang stepped forward with a wicked smile and hugged Li Yan's arm, "You old man listened to Mu Xin's words, and actually shut the door of his own family master in the middle of the night, tell me yourself, what should I use to compensate for the psychological trauma caused to me." After that, Su Qinghuang looked at Li Yan's whole face with a smile like a bitter gourd, and the ravines and wrinkles were full of entanglements.

"Young master, the old bones of your old body and me add up to no two taels on the scale, where is there anything worth compensating, or, no. Li Yan obviously hesitated in his heart for a long time, and finally seemed to have finally made up his mind, and said with a sad face: "Big deal, big deal The next time you go to find Miss Qin, I will help you cover and promise not to let Mu Xin's girl know, it's just that young master, this kind of thing, the less the better." Although I also hope that our Su family will spread out and prosper, but, according to Miss Muxin's temperament, I can't be in a hurry, and I have to take my time. ”

"Uncle Li, mine, what kind of character. Before Li Yan's words fell, behind the closed vermilion lacquer door, an elegant woman's voice suddenly came.

It was a beautiful tone comparable to the sound of silk and bamboo, but in the ears of the old and young people in front of the door, they were shocked, and then big beads of sweat came out from behind.

On a spring day when the grass grows and the warbler flies, the weather is cool and pleasant, but the two of them seem to be in the dog days when the sun is the most poisonous, their lips are pale, and their whole bodies are soaked.

"Okay, Uncle Li, come in and eat, everyone has cleaned up the table, and then pestle here, there will really be only a little scraps left for a while. Wu Muxin stepped out of the threshold in one step, two steps, and three steps, and was so elegant that it was beyond reproach, Li Yan hurriedly lowered his head and trotted towards the courtyard.

Su Qinghuang tried his best to smile his face into a flower, although Miss Wu still ignored him the whole time, and didn't even look at him, but at least she didn't lock him out of the door again, this is always an excellent progress, and a good start is half the success, Su Qinghuang secretly comforted in her heart.

Today's meal seems to be more abundant than in the past, with fish and meat, plus vegetables and fruits, Su Qinghuang is feasting.

"Miss Wu is unforgiving, and she should still be thinking about tomorrow's big competition, and today should be a meal for herself. Bowing his head and eating the food, Su Qinghuang just thought in his heart that it was called a beauty, and Xiao Cumin had already put a whole plate of walnut crisp in front of Su Qinghuang.

"Young master, this is what the girl specially ordered you to do, don't let down the girl's heart. Xiao whispered in Su Qinghuang's ear, and the hot air flow swept through his ears, like a refreshing breeze from a mountain stream, making the tips of Su Qinghuang's ears a little itchy.

"Really?" asked Su Qinghuang with secret joy in his heart.

"Hmm. Xiao Cumin smiled cutely and nodded, "Young master, eat it while it's hot, you have to eat all of these to let the girl know your heart." ”

Su Qinghuang secretly looked at Wu Muxin, still with a peaceful face that had been quiet for many years, and even when he twisted his wrist when he was pulling vegetables, he was always clean and elegant.

Just look carefully between the eyebrows and eyes, there is always a little smile hidden in it, Su Qinghuang gulped down the walnut crisp, feeling more delicious than before, it seems that Wu Muxin's smile is also deeper.

After dinner, everyone packed up and returned to the house, because tomorrow was a critical day, and the Su family had not been so beautiful in front of the Qingjun elders for a long time. Therefore, after soliciting Wu Muxin's nod, the descendants of the Su family can go to the venue together tomorrow, and they all go to bed early at this time.

Only the room in the middle was still lit by candles, and the owner of the house went in and out, constantly running between the thatched hut and the house in the corner of the courtyard, and so on and so on for no less than five or six times, until at last the man crawled back into the house in collapse, face down. Lying on the bed shivering.

"Is this a bad stomach? shouldn't it, what I ate today is just the same as usual, that is, I ate two more bites of walnut crisp, why bother so much?" Su Qinghuang couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head, especially when his stomach was empty at this time, it was even more uncomfortable.

"Let's go to the kitchen and find something to eat to fill my stomach. Thinking so, Su Qinghuang turned over and got out of bed, especially remembering that because he had done a lot tonight, there were still some leftovers that had accumulated in the kitchen. Originally, it was scheduled to be given to the poor in the town tomorrow, but it was used for emergency response at this time.

The kitchen was pitch black, but there was no obstacle for Su Qinghuang, his figure moved like a cunning rabbit, and he soon touched the remaining walnut crisp storage, pinched a piece and was about to go down, but the sharp eyes swept over, and suddenly saw the inexplicable small gourd porcelain bottle placed in the corner of the table.

"What is this?" Su Qinghuang gently uncorked the bottle and sniffed it, because he had dealt with Chinese medicine in his previous life, he was quite familiar with this thing. "If I'm not mistaken, these powdered things should be croton powder, but there shouldn't be any need for them at home lately. ”

"Wait, croton powder. Su Qinghuang suddenly understood why the little girl would be unnormal tonight, and diligently pleaded him to eat walnut crisp, and remembered Mu Xin's strange smile at that time.

At this moment, Su Qinghuang figured it all out, it was all an excuse, this croton powder must have been used by the two of them to punish him Su Qinghuang.

"Xiao Yan, Mu Xin, I hate you. ”

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and in the thatched house, there is a fierce sound of gnashing teeth, but except for the yellow dog raised by the old man, the others slept very dead and did not respond.
