A few days later, it was the birthday of the eldest girl Xiangzhi, and many people were invited to the house. The eldest son and eldest daughter are mostly liked by the family because they are the first children to come. The person that Mrs. Chu loves the most is Chu Huaixian, followed by Xiang Zhi, otherwise she would not be angry about her family affairs.

There are a lot of people who come, including relatives, and there are also ladies who Xiangzhi often comes and goes. Xiao Chu and Dong Ran were also here with Chu Huaixian, and Chu Huaixian sat with the men outside from time to time, and accompanied his grandmother inside from time to time. Dong Ran pulled Xiao Chu Yi: "There is joy and wealth outside, let's only sit inside." Childe didn't come in, he was happy to watch the play. ”

What was staged on the stage was a peony pavilion, Xiao Chu quietly looked at the old lady Chu sitting in the middle, although she had a smile, she didn't like it in her smile. I think that in the next life, no one in the family likes to let the unmarried girls watch this drama of male and female love. The girls who sat with Xiangzhi were steady, but they could listen attentively.

Lin Xiaochu snickered in his stomach, youth has time to think, no one can avoid it. If you think about yourself again, you can forgive yourself; And into the Xi'er nonsense once, also when it does not exist.

Dong Ran touched her, pointed to the babbling on the stage and said, "This is a broken household." "Xiao Chu is here to spirit, is it Liu Xianglian first-class. Dong Ran continued: "It was originally a family in Cypress Hutong, but his father's generation lost his official position, and the family foundation is still there. By the time he grew up, he was almost defeated. He also knows some kung fu and often comes in to accompany his son. ”

The people who staged the drama on the stage were handsome and handsome. Dong Ran whispered again: "It's not worse than Gongzi, it's just that when people don't have money, they are less radiant." Chu Huaixian didn't come in, and the two little maids who didn't have an envoy sat in a no-man's place to watch the play and talk. Xiao Chu grinned: "How do you know?" "It's clear that no.

"My cousin married in Cypress Alley, so I know." Dong Ran looked at the stage again: "Look, this figure is very good, isn't it." Then he sighed: "It's a pity, it's just that there is no money." While gossiping, Xiao Chu first saw Chu Huaixian come in and greeted him with Dong Ran. As soon as Chu Huaixian came in, the eyes of the ladies were on him.

A girl in pink clothes next to Xiangzhi asked her, "Who is that girl with a face?" "This is Yingzhu, a girl from the Du family who often interacts with the Chu family. Xiang Zhi took a casual look: "Big brother's newly bought girl." Yingzhu paid attention, saw Chu Huaixian smiling and talking to the two girls, and sat alone beside Mrs. Chu.

Yingzhu asked Xiangzhi: "This girl is okay." Xiang Zhi smiled at her, this is what father and mother do. sighed to the people who often came and went, saying that the eldest brother was obsessed with a girl. Now that the rumors are self-defeating, Xiang Zhi said casually: "It's just a girl." ”

After singing on stage, Mrs. Chu asked her to bring the following play list, and she was relieved that there was no such play after seeing it. The old man didn't want to sit outside for a long time, so he helped Chu Huaixian to go in and talk to him. Someone outside asked: "Gongzi Wei came to greet the old lady." Old Madam Chu frowned: "Is that the Wei Gongzi who played just now?" ”

Chu Huaixian knew him and helped Wei Quhua speak: "He came to greet his grandmother during the New Year and festivals, and that was the one." In Mrs. Chu's mind, it was still the figure of him who was acting on stage just now, and said: "It's also a frequent contact, and he wants to see him, but why doesn't he have a serious business, just if he doesn't get it, it's good to find something to do in the yamen everywhere." I remember that when his mother was well, she also came to greet me. Let him in, and I'll give him a good answer. ”

Chu Huaixian agreed with a smile and asked the girl to call Wei Quhua. A tall young man came in a moment and knelt down to salute Old Madam Chu. Old Madam Chu smiled: "Get up," and then let Wei Quhua sit down, and asked him carefully: "How old are you?" The old lady had asked a long time ago, but she was too old to remember so much.

Wei Quhua glanced at Chu Huaixian: "A person who has been with Brother Huaixian for a year is a few days younger." Old Madam Chu was amiable: "Yes, I forgot." How is your mother? How is your father? After asking one by one, Mrs. Chu recalled the old things: "When the old lady was here, your father often came in to say goodbye. In the past few years, your mother has been sick and weak, what about me, don't laugh at me, when I am old, relatives and acquaintances don't come and go, I forget about it, but fortunately, you often come and go. Where are you doing things now? Don't let your parents worry about just having fun outside. ”

The old lady accidentally got to her heart, and Wei Quhua burst into tears when she said this, and she got up and knelt down again: "Thank you old lady for thinking about it, often come in to say goodbye, the old lady treats me like her own family." There is something to do today, and I came in to ask the old lady. If I don't say it well, please let the old lady blame me alone. ”

Chu Huaixian also listened, because it was difficult to interject with his grandmother. Old Madam Chu was suddenly interested, and the smile was still on her lips: "What's the matter, it's not too difficult, I'll help you." Wei Quhua, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Chu Huaixian, meaning to let Chu Huaixian avoid it. Chu Huaixian, who walked out of the door, was thinking, this kid doesn't ask me? Why did I run to my grandmother and offer my courtesy?

"Childe came out to sober up?" Behind him is Xiao Chu's greeting. Chu Huaixian, who was standing under the tree in the yard, turned around and said, "I haven't eaten a few cups, are you worried that I won't get drunk?" Xiao Chu smiled: "It's Sister Dong Ran who is worried that Childe has drunk too much, so I asked me to send this to Childe." "Dong Ran sneered behind the flowers and trees, this Xiao Chu, bring me out too.

After taking the sobering soup, Chu Huaixian drank it all, saw that there was no one nearby, and joked: "You don't worry about me." Lin Xiaochu smiled: "I'm worried, I'm even more worried that I won't sing the hosta on stage." Chu Huaixian smiled, put down the soup bowl in his hand, and pretended to be a face at Lin Xiaochu: "If you want to listen to the play, you use such a trick, I don't want to order it." ”

Xiao Chu was saying that Dong Dye also wanted to hear it, but before he could say anything, he heard footsteps. The master and servant looked over together, Wei Quhua walked out with a depressed face, and pulled Chu Huaixian outside: "Borrow a step to speak." Xiao Chu returned the tea tray with black lacquer inlaid with human landscapes, and then came out to see Dong Dye beckoning. Walking over, Dong Ran's face also changed color: "The old lady lost her temper, I don't know what she fell." ”

"Call the second master and the second lady, and then call the eldest girl," the old lady's angry voice was in the room. Because it was spring, the curtain on the door was thin. The old lady is a weak person, and she can also smell talking outside, which shows that the voice is not small in the room. Dong Ran was taken aback, Xiao Chu didn't know the majesty of the old lady's anger, but was just curious. The two girls are fine, and the cat is here waiting to listen.

"Call Childe again." The old lady said again, and another girl in the room came out. After a while, the old lady hurriedly rushed to find them, and just looking for these four people, she divided into three and sent more than a dozen people. The second master and the second lady arrived in a hurry, but the eldest girl, Xiangzhi, arrived late, and her face was frightened, as if she knew what was going on if she didn't come. Outside the room, Xiangzhi stopped, and Yuqing whispered in panic: "Girl." Xiang Zhi took a deep breath and went in as if she were going to the execution ground.

Chu Huaixian, who was invited to a secluded place by Wei Quhua, was also angry at this time: "You! ......" Wei Quhua knelt down, his expression resolute and not panicked: "I am wholeheartedly begging to marry the eldest girl, please help me." Chu Huaixian also took a deep breath, calmed down the horror he first heard, looked at Wei Quhua seriously, and said slowly: "You get up and speak." ”

"How did Grandmother reply to you just now?" Chu Huaixian asked, and his heart kept turning. The second uncle would rather let Xiang Zhi fill the house, which shows that he is greedy for profit. Wei Quhua is a talent, poetry, swords, playing and singing, but he has no money, and most of the people he often confesses outside are people with no identity. This family affair is Gongzi himself, and he doesn't like him. Acquaintance and correspondence are one thing, and correspondence can have Bai Ding, but when his sister married him, Chu Huaixian became angry.

Wei Quhua was also distracted, and Xia Lu saw that he was the one who was standing on the street and talking to Yuqing. Xia Lu should have known her, but she was in a hurry to go home, and she didn't recognize it when she just looked at a man's back. "The old lady didn't say anything, just let me out." Wei Quhua felt that this was really unconfident.

Old Mrs. Chu is a person who has lived a lifetime in a high family like the Chu family, and she has seen a lot of storms. Suddenly hearing that this person actually said that she wanted to marry Xiangzhi, Mrs. Chu was furious in her heart, and she still had a smile on her face, so she sent Wei Quhua out. This smile made Wei Quhua feel confused, and he came out to ask Chu Huaixian.

A girl came out a few steps away, and it was the old lady who found this place, and her face was panicked: "The old lady is looking for the son, please go quickly." Chu Huaixian calmed down and agreed unhurriedly: "I'll come." Glancing at Wei Quhua, who was more panicked than just now, Chu Huaixian, like Old Lady Chu, smiled slightly and shouted first: "Jin Xi'er,"

Suddenly came out from behind him, bowed down and said, "The slave is here." Wei Quhua, who had always thought that his kung fu was good, was taken aback, and his face became hot. This minion is nearby, kneeling down just now, he saw it in his eyes?

"Send Wei Gongzi to sit in my study for a while," Chu Huaixian arranged, and nodded politely to Wei Quhua as usual: "Wait for me for a while." Then he turned and went to the old lady's room.

There was a commotion in the old lady's room, and Xiangzhi knelt on the ground and just cried and didn't speak. Old Madam Chu's face was pale and she didn't say a word, it was the second old man and the second lady of Chu who were attacking. When the second master heard it, he was furious: "Anything, dare to humiliate me!" He shouted to his family: "Bring a rope and a whip, tie him up and beat him, and then take the name of the eldest master and send him to the yamen." ”

The second lady trembled with anger, stood on the ground and pointed at her daughter and scolded: "The slut doesn't study well, when will you hook up with him!" If you learn well, how dare he come to the door and say such a thing! Second Mrs. Chu called someone to bring a rope too: "The door of the house is unfortunate, and you have to wash your innocence, but this slut committed suicide and washed it clean!" ”

Lin Xiaochu, who was eavesdropping outside, was trembling all over his body when he heard it, what kind of parents are these!
