Chapter 45: Why Light Blue and Light Red (7)
Zhou Wenshi couldn't cry or laugh when he thought of his sister's drunkard appearance: "Ah Mu, do you know how to make people quit drinking?"
Xu Mu thought about it seriously and said, "I don't drink too much, and I don't know how to quit drinking."
Zhou Wenshi shook his head and said helplessly: "This girl really has no one to cure her." Mother plans to let her learn embroidery with her, so that she can regain her temperament, otherwise there will be no in-laws in the future. ”
Xu Mu didn't have any position to talk about Zhou Wenwen, just drank tea and listened to Zhou Wenshi's warm and beautiful voice.
"Hey, did you listen to me?" Zhou Wenshi patted Xu Mu on the shoulder.
Xu Mu smiled slightly: "Of course I'm listening." It's not too early, you have to go back, otherwise your aunt will chase you again in a while. ”
Zhou Wenshi's face sank, and he got up leisurely: "You understand the reason."
"Young Master Zhou's praise."

He Xian, who returned to the house, put the fabric he bought back on the long table, thinking about how to fix this thing.
I'm going to make a retro purse for Mrs. He and make some gadgets. But there is no style and content, and she has not embroidered for too long, so it is really difficult to start.
"Miss, let's have a cup of warm tea first. You've been looking at this cloth for more than half an hour, and your eyes will be bad if you look at it any longer. ”
Xiao Ju put the tea aside and looked at He Xian worriedly.
He Xian suddenly thought of Xu Mu and asked, "Where is Mr. now?"
Xiao Ju frowned and shook her head: "I don't know." When I was chatting with the other servants just now, I heard that he had been out for a while, and he still hadn't returned. ”
He Xian lowered his head in disappointment, his hand still turning over the fabric: "Then forget it."
After a pause, she still sighed and was relieved: "If he comes back, let him come to me."
Xiao Ju didn't respond for a long time.
He Xian looked up at Xiao Ju in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Ju wanted to speak and stopped: "Miss, it's late now, it's not appropriate to call Mr. Xu."
He Xian was stunned: "That's it, let him come tomorrow will be the same." You helped me prepare the things for class early tomorrow, and I have to take a long time with my husband. ”
"Yes, miss."

"Mom, this flower is going to be embroidered into a ball by me, don't let me embroider it again, okay?" Zhou Wenwen was coquettish to Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou didn't eat her: "I haven't been abroad for a few years, where did you learn this laziness?" Embroider for me, not only do you embroider, you don't embroider a shape tonight, don't want to sleep. ”
Zhou Wenwen had a bitter face: "Mommy, you won't really be so ruthless, right?"
Mrs. Zhou was unmoved: "You'd better hurry, it's not too early."
At this time, there was a commotion at the door, and the voice was that Zhou Wenshi had returned.
Zhou Wenwen smiled knowingly, and just wanted to ask for help from the eldest brother, but Mrs. Zhou stopped her first: "Don't let your eldest brother come to beg me, he will just be beaten worse by me." If you don't want to hurt him, you can embroider it for me and recuperate. ”
Zhou Wenwen was completely desperate, holding a thin needle and poking the "ball" shaped flower sullenly.
"Give me some peace." Mrs. Zhou finally warned her, and then walked to Zhou Wenshi's side and explained: "Don't help your sister exonerate." By the way, your dad told you to go to the office to find him. ”
When Zhou Wenshi heard that his father was looking for him, he walked to the study solemnly, and did not leave a single look to his sister who was begging hard.
She angrily picked up the new cloth embroidery, and longed for the needle to be inserted into Zhou Wenshi's body.
As soon as Zhou Wenshi entered the study, Uncle Zhou's face was calm.
"Where did you go?"
"I asked Xu Mu to talk for a while."
Uncle Zhou didn't say anything, and pushed the documents on the table to Zhou Wenshi: "This is Miaocheng's business."
Zhou Wenshi was puzzled.
Miao Cheng's business has always been in charge of Zhou Wenshi's cousin Zhou Wenjian, and there have been no major problems.
Therefore, he asked, "What happened to Wen Jian's business?"
The more Uncle Zhou thought about it, the more irritable he became, and gently put his old hand on his face full of furrows: "That Nizi was dragged on a blind date by your second uncle." Your second uncle meant to hand over the business to you for a few days, and it just so happened that you came back not long ago, and it was time to practice your hands. ”
Zhou Wenshi was even more puzzled. This cousin is a well-known strong woman, and it is even more impossible to let her go on a blind date than to be insulted when Zhou Wen went out.
Uncle Zhou knew his son's thoughts, so he just said: "Look at business for a long time." Miaocheng is a decent resource, so you should take advantage of this opportunity. ”
"When are you leaving?"
"Just these days. You can start packing tomorrow, there will be a boat to Miaocheng in five days, and I have already booked the tickets for you. ”
Zhou Wenshi was speechless for a moment, but his face was not obvious. He obediently picked up the document, then took it to the door and went back to his room.
——————————
The next day, He Xian got up early and waited for Xu Mu obediently with the horse in his arms.
As soon as Xu Mu pushed through the door, he saw an extremely strange He Xian. If you want to say how strange, I guess you have to ask the cloth in her hand.
"Miss, this is?"
He Xian said, "Please ask Mr. for a favor."
Because Xu Mu and He Xian's teacher are still men, the place where they take classes is in the He family's school.
At this time, the eyes of the mother-in-law and maids around the school hall were all focused on Xu Mu, and he took a step back with some embarrassment.
"Ho...... What's the matter? ”
He Xian said: "It's just a trivial matter. My mother's birthday is approaching, and I'm going to make some knick-knacks out of cloth for her. I didn't expect anything good, though. Sir, you have excellent painting skills and read a lot of books, so you must know or have seen some rare treasures. ”
Xu Mu really thought about it carefully: "There is indeed one thing, it is the most unforgettable I have ever seen." Only, it wasn't made of cloth. ”
He Xian was puzzled: "What is that?"
When did he think about seeing the painting?
Oh, it was a chance encounter in childhood. He didn't know how long he had been walking, where he had lost himself, where a rich man was holding a scroll and admiring it.
He leaned over to see that it was a butterfly rocking.
For some reason, his heart couldn't be calm for a long time, as if someone had broken into his heart and quietly rolled up the waves, and then quietly disappeared.
That's why he fell in love with painting.
There was tenderness in his eyes, and he said softly, "It's gold."
"A butterfly made of gold."
He Xian's hand holding the cloth shook violently, and his eyes widened in fright.
However, she cleverly disguised these movements: "Butterfly swaying?"
Xu Mu frowned suddenly, and then said to He Xian apologetically: "I can't draw its demeanor with that step shake, and I don't dare to comment on its appearance in vain, so it's difficult for Xu Mu to depict it to Miss."
He Xian put down the cloth in his hand and took a deep breath: "It's okay." Let's go to class. ”
Xu Mu nodded.
Xiao Ju hurriedly put away the cloth.

Xu Qingqing found Chen Niang, and finally got together the lipstick compensation for Wang Liuxi.
She held the money in her arms and looked for a smile haggardly: "Xiaoxiao, you go and send the money to the Rouge Pavilion, saying that it is the compensation given by the girl who broke the lipstick before."
"Girl......"
Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, and more worried about Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing smiled comfortingly: "You can go, I'm fine here."
"Why did Chen Niang give you so much money? Girl, did you promise anything? Smile and be skeptical.
Xu Qingqing's eyes flashed with emptiness, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes and ordered: "Can't I call you now?" Let's go, I'll talk about it when I get back. ”
Xiaoxiao was silent, holding the money and hurried to the Rouge Pavilion.
And Chen Niang also came out of the room and took pity: "It's good to be affectionate and righteous, but you don't owe her." If she doesn't temper and temper, she will suffer sooner or later, how long can you help her? ”
"Qingqing knows Chen Niang's kindness, and Qingqing also knows that Chen Niang, you have helped the three of us sisters a lot. In this life, I Xu Qingqing has nothing to repay, and I am willing to accompany Chen Niang for life and give you a pension and send you to the end. ”
Xu Qingqing was ruthless and knelt down.
Chen Niang's hand hanging in the air was silently retracted: "A lifetime of Qingqi may not be a disaster for you."
Xu Qingqing bit the broken skin on her lip and did not speak.
The life she had been dreaming of was gone. thought that after scraping together enough money and repaying Chen Niang's favor, she, Wang Liuxi, and Xiaoxiao could go to a new city to live well, and then open a rouge hall and live an ordinary life.
In the end, she still couldn't hide.
"I persuaded you when I saw that you had some eyes. Although Wang Liuxi is not a bad person, he and you are people of two worlds after all, your thinking is different, and it is very tiring to be friends. ”
After Chen Niang said this, she sighed and closed the door tightly.
Xiaoxiao, who came back, learned about this, and was so angry that she couldn't wait to rush over to Xu Qingqing to ask her clearly.
can see the haggard Xu Qingqing, she softened her heart again.
"Girl, don't you have something to do with Boss Qi, why would you rather agree to such conditions than ask others?"
Xu Qingqing shook his head: "Just because I know Boss Qi and I understand others, they are not as reliable as Chen Niang."
"How so? Boss Qi is a big boss, he is still the son-in-law of the Chen family. He smiled puzzled.
Xu Qingqing mocked Boss Qi: "It's just a superficial scenery." He has a few pounds and a few taels, I know. His company's capital chain is in short supply, and now he may go back to the Chen family to beg the Chen family, but he still wants to listen to music from me all day long. ”
"Oh my God!" Xiaoxiao couldn't believe it.
"Don't just tell anyone about that. Since I promised Chen Niang, I will stay in this Wind Yin Pavilion until the end. Xiaoxiao, you can leave another day, but you must promise me to go far away and see the scenery for me. ”
Xu Qingqing looked out the window with some regret.
Xiaoxiao didn't speak at this time.
She really wanted to leave, far away from this Wind Yin Pavilion. However, she is gone, what should Xu Qingqing do?
Xu Qingqing knew her concerns and said, "You take good care of Liuxi for me, she is still young and can live a better life." You don't have to worry about me if I don't have to worry about food and clothing here, we are all people who have to go through separation and integration. ”
"Wang Liuxi poked out the basket, girl, why are you still protecting her?"
smiled and sulked, and only spoke after a while: "I'm not leaving, I'll follow you." Here, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I don't have to run around for a living, and I don't have to take care of Miss Wang. ”
"You ......"
"Girl, don't say it, or I'll ignore you."
As soon as the cruel words came out, Xu Qingqing hugged each other with tears and smiles. That's true friendship.
