When Mrs. Guan went back, she searched for a house for Mrs. Chu Shao. The kind that Xiao Chu wants, and he is stuck with money, not that he has it. The official's wife was at home, and asked the acquaintance to come and tell them if they wanted a house, and let them help find it.

If you go back and forth once every three or two days, Mrs. Guan will go back and forth once every three or two days, which can be regarded as a frequent visit. It was afternoon, and the sun was half drowsy and rainy. Mrs. Guan woke up in the heat, thought about the thick shade of the Chu family, and asked people to shout again: "The house I want to buy needs more trees." "Lest Mrs. Chu's family is used to living in a house that is not well introduced.

The economy smiled embarrassedly: "I want to have a façade on the street, I want to have all the pavilions and pavilions, I want to be good and have little money, I actually can't pump much, the main reason is that the house is not cheap." What is the price in Jingli," Mrs. Guan interrupted her: "I know, you just have to look for it, anyway, the person who buys it is not in a hurry." ”

Laughter came from outside: "Who wants to buy the house?" Mrs. Lin came in with a smile, and Mrs. Guan smiled: "Where did you come from, you remembered to come to see me today." "When you sit down, look at the economy. The economy is also interesting, and he said, "I'm going to be busy," and walked away.

Mrs. Lin felt cold, and said to the back of the economy with a smile: "I'm here, she's gone, is it bullying me that I can't afford to buy a house?" Mrs. Guan excused the economy and said: "People have something, and besides, you don't buy it now." Mrs. Lin immediately followed: "Then who will buy it?" Mrs. Guan smiled: "I said that you don't know each other, but a distant relative of mine wants to enter Beijing, so ask me to show her the house first." ”

When the door curtain sounded, Mrs. Wen walked in with a bamboo basket in her hand, and when she saw that Mrs. Lin was also there, she hurriedly greeted, "I haven't seen you for a few days." Mrs. Lin laughed, pointed at Mrs. Wen and said to Mrs. Guan: "This is also your relative, is it because she wants to buy a house?" Mrs. Wen didn't understand, so she only laughed. Mrs. Lin smiled again and asked Mrs. Wen: "I heard that your master's case is retried, so you want to buy a house to live in Beijing permanently, right?" ”

"You are joking with me, the case is a retrial, and the capital has to live permanently, but the house can't afford it, and there is money to buy a house," Mrs. Wen said, "I will also ask someone to help first." ”

Madame Guan opened her fingers and smiled at the Kodan on her finger. Seeing that Mrs. Lin asked more and more questions, Mrs. Guan said to Mrs. Wen: "Don't pay attention to her, she hasn't come to see me for a few days, I hate her." Mrs. Guan was forced to say a few words about Mrs. Lin's grievances in the past few days. Mrs. Lin is conscious, she has been going to Mrs. Jin a lot recently, and she feels that the people she knows are different. It's just that although Mrs. Jin is good, those people can't look down on her in their eyes. Mrs. Guan, everyone here is kind, but they feel that they are not very useful. Seeing that Mrs. Guan complained, Mrs. Lin smiled: "I'm not here, it's hard to come out in the heat." ”

I said that I went to see the bamboo basket brought by Mrs. Wen, which was covered with a clean blue cloth, and inside was a pair of delicate tiger head shoes. Mrs. Lin was surprised, and reached out to take one and take a look. Mrs. Wen, who had been careful in front of them, didn't let her, but laughed with her: "You can't touch it, it's not good to give it to people if it's dirty." Mrs. Lin was said by Mrs. Wen very unhappily: "If you don't look at it, you won't look at it, who is this for such a treasure?" ”

Mrs. Wen just smiled, carefully covered the cloth on it, and then said to Mrs. Lin: "You also said just now that the weather is hot and people are sad, and the sweat in the palm of this hand is sticky on it, and it will be dirty." ”

Mrs. Lin felt even more cold, she sneered and guessed: "It's hot and people are sad, your palms are sweaty, you still do this job, seeing that you do it so cleanly, I don't know how you did it yourself." Who is it for, and you have to put so much effort into it? Mrs. Wen just laughed, and Mrs. Guan stopped her words: "It doesn't matter who she goes to, you can't wear it." ”

"Of course I can't wear it, am I a one-year-old?" Mrs. Lin was even more angry, and she had to figure out who this was for: "Others don't have such a big child, even if they do, you can't be guilty." Mrs. Wen blushed when she said this, and Mrs. Guan glanced at Mrs. Lin, and wanted to ask her who she had been with Mrs. Jin recently.

Mrs. Lin guessed without much effort: "The only one who wants to have such a child with such a small heart is Mrs. Chu." Mrs. Lin asked Mrs. Wen with a smile: "It is said that your master's matter is to find the Chu family, and now it seems that it is true." Mrs. Chu was the most cold, and she didn't talk to her about gold or silver. If you think she has a lot of money, she can't get it out of the money. It's really strange, why did I have the right fate with you, let me think about it, it's your family that is too poor, so she feels kind, right? ”

These words made Mrs. Lin angry, which made Mrs. Wen extremely embarrassed, and Mrs. Guan raised her eyebrows when she heard it, and she also wanted to sneer.

Mrs. Wen muttered: "It is because she is kind and sympathetic, we have not given her anything, only these shoes, which I spent time to make." Mrs. Lin pouted: "No need to explain, the trick you used was right." When she saw the poor, of course, she had to pretend. What is the point of forgetting one's roots? ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Guan felt that she could not stand it, and said to Mrs. Lin: "You have a lot of truth, the watermelon you bought at home in the morning is good, let people cut the watermelon, you should say a few words after eating." ”

This made people cut watermelons and sent them, everyone ate them, and Mrs. Lin said goodbye. Seeing her go out, Mrs. Guan said: "Finally left, you haven't been with me for a few days, but if you come today, you won't be fine." Mrs. Wen persuaded Mrs. Guan: "You have eaten these words for me, and I am grateful to you." Mrs. Guan waved her hand: "It has nothing to do with you, since you have come and encountered this one, I will simply tell you, don't tell her if you have anything to say, she has been with Mrs. Jin recently, and she is no longer good with me." ”

Hearing these three words of Mrs. Jin, Mrs. Wen, who laughed when she saw people, also sank her face: "This is a black-hearted person, my lord is in prison, when I went to deliver food, I knew the family members of some criminal officials, and when I talked about her behind my back, three or four people made money in front of her, but they didn't help at all." It's not as good as Mrs. Chu, who didn't give a single money. ”

"Don't send her either," Mrs. Guan wanted to visit Mrs. Chu Shao, when Mrs. Chu was in the room, and the host and guests all spoke quietly. Young Master Chu moved slightly, and Young Lady Chu immediately became extremely interested. Mrs. Guan added: "She didn't dare to ask for it, not necessarily because she didn't want it." In this way, she told me to show her the house in private, and when she bought the house, you just came to congratulate her, and it didn't cost much. ”

Mrs. Wen agreed, and then said: "Sure enough, she wants to buy a house, I heard that there is a cheap house, and the family is also in prison, so we know each other, we met on the street the day before yesterday, she still has a car in her hand, and when she saw me get out of the car, she greeted me with a cold greeting, and gave me a tael of silver." I asked her where she was going, and she said that she needed money to atone for her sins, and that she was going to sell the house in Beijing cheaply. What do you think, if I can, I'll ask her. ”

"Good is good," Mrs. Guan, who often walked around outside, had an extra heart: "Which family is she and what is the crime?" Can the house that was sold be sold? Inquire about this. ”

Mrs. Wen hurriedly said: "The surname is Liu, her father-in-law and husband are all in prison, I don't know what the crime is, you are better than me, how about you ask?" Mrs. Guan speculated and said, "I'll inquire about the charges, and you can inquire whether her house has been sold." When everything is in order, I will ask Mrs. Chu to take a look. Remember, this is something she does in private, and she can't let anyone else know. ”

Coming out of Mrs. Guan's house, Mrs. Wen did not go home, and went straight to Mrs. Liu's house to ask about the house; The official's wife went out and got into the car to inquire about the Liu family's charges and whether the house could be sold.

Mrs. Chu is at home, frolicking every day. Mrs. Jianguan came to invite herself to see the house and went out happily. When he got out of the car, Xiao Chu was surprised: "This is going to be sold?" ”

Two wooden doors, the door is a beast rank brass ring, although the door is full of dust, but it is not too old. After entering, it is a quiet house, on the curved railing of the small bridge, and there are falling flowers.

The main house is hidden among the flowers, with a flower bed in front and a flower stand in the back. The more Xiao Chu looked at it, the more he liked it, although it was negligent to clean up, it would only take a month to hand it over to Gong Miaoer. The front door is secluded, and the back door opens onto the lively street. Mrs. Liu, a white-faced woman in her thirties, wearing an old dress and only two hairpin rings on her head, wept and said, "If it weren't for saving my father-in-law and husband, I wouldn't be willing to sell this garden." ”

When he came, he didn't say which one wanted to buy, because no one was complaining endlessly to Mrs. Chu Shao. But this scene was in front of him, and Xiao Chu also persuaded a few words: "It will come out." "I persuaded me painlessly, and I asked about the price, and it was cheap. Mrs. Liu is in a hurry to settle down, but the person who buys things has to think about it. Xiao Chu promised her to reply three days later, and happily took the car back.

Chu Huaixian doesn't go out, he is not in the room, he is at his grandmother or father's. He knew that Xiao Chu was going out, and when he was about to come back, Chu Huaixian came to the room, and met Xiao Chu who came back outside the door, Xiao Chu smiled brightly, Chu Huaixian teased: "It looks like you picked up something on the road?" Xiao Chu came over and took Chu Huaixian's hand: "Picked up one." Then he urged: "Come on, come quickly, I have something to say to you." ”

Mrs. Chu's house dream was carefully explained to Chu Huaixian one by one. Chu Huaixian was about to yawn when he heard this, and finally only asked, "Please don't invite me to live?" ”

Xiao Chu rolled his eyes anxiously: "Of course please, when I pack up, please grandmother, father, mother, plus you, go to live together." Chu Huaixian lazily closed his eyes: "Well, it's really good, it's just that you have less Brother Yu." Xiao Chu smiled like a little fox: "Grandmother and you all went, and of course Brother Yu went." Chu Huaixian smiled: "It's really good, I will give you how much it costs to clean up your house." ”

Mrs. Chu's abacus has long been finely scratched: "Let the drunken maniac clean it up, and don't give him a single penny." Chu Huaixian opened his eyes and said in surprise: "Why only bully him?" Xiao Chu's mouth flattened again, bullying him? He bullied him. Fortunately, Chu Huaixian just asked Xiao Chu how much money he still had in his hand, and Xiao Chu didn't say anything about the burning of a boatload of herbs.

Seeing Xiao Chu's inexplicable grievances, Chu Huaixian comforted: "You listened to him again? If you don't let people talk, just return it. Xiao Chu liked it at this time, and said unreasonably: "Just clean it up for him, let him clean it up." "Let him bully!

"Ignore the unforgiving girl." Chu Huaixian said, yawning: "I'll sleep for a while, it's time for dinner, you call me again." "I said I closed my eyes and took a break.

Mrs. Chu walked out slowly, she couldn't sleep, so she sat down under the porch and thought about her house happily. The corridor is good, Brother Yu will go, and it must be cute to move the little chubby legs in there. There is also a lotus pond, a great place to talk there with Childe at night. Of course, couples quarrel with the exception.

And then there is what to plant all year round, Xiao Chu's eyes are crooked with a smile, of course, it is all up to him. Spring welcomes spring like gold blooming everywhere; In the summer, put a small paddle in the pond and play with Brother Yu; In autumn, the persimmon tree bears fruit, and Brother Yu must like it; Then in winter, the son likes to enjoy the plum blossoms the most, and the father-in-law Chu Shaofu also likes it, and said to the drunkard that he will plant more plum trees.

I thought about it again and again, as for what Mrs. Chu Shao liked. What Lin Xiaochu likes more and more recently is her husband. She sighed with satisfaction, it was good to have her own house.

Chunshui came over and shouted softly, "Young lady? Xiao Chu's eyes were shining, and he turned his head and said with a happy face: "What's the matter?" Chunshui reminded: "Winter Dye invited you to dinner at home, did you tell Childe?" ”

"Ah, this, I forgot." Xiao Chu was extremely innocent, thought about it and smiled and said, "You bring the clothes, I'll tell the son." Xiao Chu walked into the room, a few steps away from Chu Huaixian, who was asleep, and whispered: "Dong Ran invited me to dinner, I went." I'm sorry I didn't accompany you at night, I'm sorry. ”
