The fame of the Thousand Faces Pavilion is growing.

Along with her, there is also the appearance of the female boss.

Chu Yuqin has added a lot of manpower. Now the whole village is about to become a production place for skincare products.

Spring goes and winter comes. Another year.

This year, Chu Yuqin was eighteen years old.

Chu Lihong is twelve years old, and Chu Yulan is ten years old. Chu Butterfly is eleven years old.

As rumored to say, Chu Yuqin's appearance is getting better and better, and there are more and more people who covet her. Among them, there are many well-known dignitaries.

Seeing that Xiao Yu's family was worried, the Yu clan asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I haven't received any letter from Hui Niang in the past month." Xiao Yu sat opposite Yu. "I'm worried about what happened to that kid in the capital."

"What else could be done? Didn't you say it in the previous epistle? The boy treated her very well. Yu comforted: "The capital is so big. Maybe she's attracted to something and doesn't have time to talk to us old women. ”

"You're still an old woman! I've heard about it. The last time you went to the market, you were pestered in the street. The brother-in-law's face was black for several days. Xiao Yu teased.

"That's unreasonable." Yu's cheeks flushed. "People just ask for directions, and they don't mean anything else. He treats people like thieves. I'm a forty-year-old woman, and anyone can still look up to me? ”

"Why isn't there any? If I were a man, I would be able to see it. Xiao Yu smiled and sighed again. I'm pretty much in condition. In my opinion, I can also go to Beijing to find Huiniang. ”

"Have you figured it out? The capital is far from here. There are many dignitaries there. If you go in the past, you don't even have someone to rely on. Of course, Hui Niang is in Tongfu and usually doesn't come out often. How can she help you? In my opinion, you can stay with us in peace. Hui Niang is taken care of, you don't have to worry about her. ”

"If you were me, Qin Yatou was alone in a place you couldn't see, wouldn't you want her? Won't you worry about her? Wouldn't you want to go to her? ”

Xiao Yu's several questions stopped Yu's question.

She scratched her and said impatiently, "Okay, okay." I won't say anything. Go if you want! Don't sneak away, though. We'll give you something to make your journey easier. ”

"Got it. I'm not Ling Gongzi, can I still sneak away? After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said, "Is there any news from Ling Gongzi?" ”

"He is a rich and noble son, and he has no relationship with us, why is there any news?" Yu's tone was complaining.

They all liked Ling Shengyi before. Ling Shengyi is the benefactor of their family. If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have gotten rid of the old mansion so easily.

But after he secretly left, Chu Yuqin was depressed for a long time. Although she didn't say it, as her own mother, how could she not see it?

"We don't understand the affairs of young people, so don't mix them. In my opinion, this matter is not to be blamed on Ling Gongzi's head. Xiao Yu said.

"I know." Yu poked the embroidered handkerchief in front of him. Speaking of which, Qin'er's reputation is getting bigger and bigger. More and more people are coming to propose marriage. I'm really worried that something will happen one day. But there's no way I'm going to get her married, am I? With her temperament, if she hadn't met someone she liked, she would definitely not have been able to get married. ”

"Did you mention it to her?" Kotama asked. "That girl is smarter than we are. What you think is troublesome may not be a problem in her eyes. If there is someone who doesn't know how to deal with it, even if you don't tell her, you can tell Steward Zhu! ”

"Huh! What's the difference between telling Steward Zhu and telling her? Yu said.

"Mother...... Mother......" A small figure stumbled in. "Auntie......"

"Ouch, it's our little Huan'er." Yu put down the things in his hand and picked up Chu Huan who came over. "Xiao Huan'er, where did you go to play? How did you become a little black? ”

Chu Huan's dress was stained with black dust.

"I want to cook for my mother. But I was too short to go up. Chu Huan pouted and said aggrievedly: "My sister is bad, and she laughs at me." ”

Yu and Xiao Yu looked at each other and smiled.

"My little girl, why are you so cute?"

No one would have thought that the child left behind by a moment of soft-heartedness would be so cute.

From the time she could speak, she called Yu's mother and Xiaoyu's aunt, as if she was Yu's own child.

The people of the village knew her identity, but they never chewed their tongues in front of her. And she was too young to remember these things before.

"Madam......" Zhu Qian shouted outside: "Brother Hong is back." ”

"What? He's back? The Yu clan hugged Chu Huan and walked towards the door. Where is it? Take me there. ”

Chu Lihong went to take the township test.

Originally, they wanted to go with him, but he refused.

Twelve-year-old Chu Lihong is already a half-grown teenager. His eyes were more resolute than before, and his temperament was not as untouched as before, but more calm.

In addition to studying literature, he also studied martial arts with the Zhu brothers. It can be said that he is now a head taller than his peers.

When the Yu clan and the Xiao Yu clan rushed out, Chu Dashan and Chu Yulan also heard the news coming out. Chu Yuqin and Zhu Han were still in the shop in the city.

The carriage stopped in the courtyard.

The first to come down was the scholar Chu Qian, and then Chu Lihong, who grew taller than Chu Dashan.

"Dad, mother, aunt." Chu Lihong first saluted to the elders. "Sister, Second Brother Zhu."

"Thin." Yu Shi took Chu Lihong's hand. "Tired, aren't you? How did you lose so much weight? What's out isn't as delicious as at home, right? ”

"It's natural. In the whole world, I am afraid that even the imperial chef in the palace does not have my sister's skills. It's really hard to swallow what she is used to cooking, and then eat what others do. Chu Lihong said while walking with the Yu family: "Fortunately, my sister made beef jerky and mutton jerky for me, otherwise I could lose a few pounds." ”

"How can a man be so squeamish? You're just spoiled by your sister. Chu Dashan reprimanded: "I didn't eat it before, you didn't eat it at that time?" ”

"My son just came back, what kind of majesty are you putting on?" Yu glared at him. "You like to eat so much, then you go out to eat for a few days."

Chu Dashan suddenly lost his temper.

The last time he ate other people's vinegar, Yu ignored him for several days, and didn't even allow him to sleep in a bed. How dare you provoke her again now? She's got a big temper!

"Hong'er, how are you doing with the exam this time?" Seeing that they didn't ask about the subject, Xiao Yushi couldn't help but ask.

Chu Dashan and the Yu clan both looked at Chu Lihong nervously.

Chu Lihong was silent.

Suddenly, everyone's faces were full of disappointment.

"It doesn't matter. You're still young! It's the same next time we take the test. Yu comforted dryly.

In fact, they didn't have any hope that Chu Lihong would be admitted to the show. It's just that it's always a little bit of a thought.

Now that hope is shattered, it is inevitable that there will be some disappointment.
