The people of the Chu family greeted Mrs. Chu, mostly in the morning. Only the eldest son Huaixian, because he is getting older, there are more and more foreign affairs, and the old lady Chu loves him again, Chu Huaixian does not come according to the point.

On this day, Xiao Chu came with Chu Huaixian, not so much to follow along, but to come with him. When she came, she peered out the door, and it was just dawn. It was the middle of September, and it was getting a little late. Chu Huaixian was the first person to come to greet him this morning.

In the back, it was the second lady who came to the third lady, and Miss Xiangzhi followed her mother over, and when she saw Xiao Chu there, she smiled and nodded at her. The last to come was the eldest son of the second room, the little Chu Huaide.

Chu Huaide came with the people he followed, and there was no second master by his side. Xiao Chu was puzzled: "Why did you come so late?" After muttering to himself, the words were heard by the old lady's girl next to him, and she also whispered: "No one treats him." "Gossip people are everywhere, Xiao Chu has laughed and heard it.

Peeking inside outside, Chu Huaide saluted Old Madam Chu, and sure enough, Old Madam Chu was cold and indifferent: "Go to school well, don't lose the people in our family." When Chu Huaide heard this, he shrank and said, "Yes." ”

Giving the second lady a salute again, the second lady smiled very happily: "I heard that you threw away the pen again in school yesterday, so be careful in the future." Xiao Chu frowned when he heard it outside, so he looked at Chu Huaixian with straight eyes. Before Chu Huaixian could speak, Old Madam Chu snorted first: "Lost the pen?" It's really good. The second lady smiled and said, "Mother, he is young, either he loses the east or the west." Chu Huaide only shrank his head and didn't speak.

Chu Huaixian opened his mouth casually: "Why did you lose your pen again?" Chu Huaide paused, and then whispered: "There was a fight in school, take my pen to beat people, I hid aside, and I couldn't find it again." The second lady was shocked, no one in this family, except for the second master, would say a word to Chu Huaide.

When Aunt Zhang entered the door, Mrs. Chu didn't like her quite much. She is a small family, and she has a pregnant door first, and the old lady doesn't like her. Chu Huaixian didn't like it, because he had a conflict with the second master, so he hated the house and Wu, except for Xiangzhi, everyone didn't like it. At this time, Chu Huaixian and Chu Huaide were talking, and the second lady couldn't help but be surprised.

Old Madam Chu heard Chu Huaide's words, and said in wonder, "Why are you fighting in school?" Chu Huaide just said: "It was Liu Xing's son who fought with others, saying that the errands were unevenly divided....... The second lady changed color and cut off the words: "You kid, which family doesn't have some messy words." Chu Huaide heard what his mother-in-law said, so he bowed his head and shut up. Chu Huaixian mentioned it lightly: "Liu Xing is not the one who follows Xiao Chu, what is his son making trouble?" The second lady glared dryly, and Chu Huaide looked at the second lady without speaking. The second lady scolded angrily: "If you have something to say, see what I do?" Chu Huaide's eyes glanced at the second lady, and then he said: "It was Zhang Chengjia's son who scolded Liu Xing's son first, saying that he robbed the errand." ”

The second lady's heart jumped suddenly, Liu Xing's family was placed by her to Xiao Chu's side, and she should have go, of course, it was the idle Zhang Chengjia. She was flustered, and heard Old Madam Chu say lightly: "Only Gongzi De is alone in the school, right?" How the children of the family fought upside down. The second lady hurriedly said in a panic: "Mother, it's like this....... Chu Huaixian picked up very casually: "When I was in school before, I didn't do this." ”

At this time, it was carefully interrogated, and Chu Huaide also said carefully: "Zhang Cheng's family said that Liu Xing's family had a lot of errands, and then he took care of the affairs outside the eldest brother, and said that Liu Xing's family was a dog and a mouse, and he was nosy. The second lady was so anxious that her head was sweating, and she just looked at her daughter. Miss Xiangzhi lowered her head and didn't speak, and her mother only remembered that the eldest brother was not easy to mess with. In the past, the eldest brother never talked to his younger brother, but today he said that it is definitely not ordinary.

After being interrogated like this, Old Madam Chu did not speak, and Chu Huaixian gently asked Chu Huaide about his studies: "Is Mr. good?" Do you understand what is taught? Chu Huaide honestly shrank his head and said, and finally a sentence suddenly popped up: "Is it okay to give me a few pens from my eldest brother?" The pens I use are new, and they are all bald. The second lady hated so much that she wanted to go up and scold him a few words, but because everyone was here, she had no choice.

The third lady smiled "sneering": "Second sister-in-law, do you treat Master De badly?" This is your son. The fire in the second lady's heart was ignited all of a sudden, and she suddenly said coldly to Chu Huaide: "Who taught you this!" Chu Huaide immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the second lady: "Mother, I was wrong, next time my eldest brother asks me, I won't dare to say it." ”

The third lady laughed unabashedly: "Second sister-in-law, what is wrong with your son?" The second lady looked at Mrs. Chu, and when she saw that she didn't speak, her heart was even more empty. It was Chu Huaixian who helped, and said to Chu Huaide: "You go out, I will let someone send the pen to you, what is missing in the future, you just have to say." ”

If Chu Huaide got amnesty, he ran out. I went back to the room and taught Aunt Zhang the words: "That's what I said." Aunt Zhang pursed her lips and smiled: "Did the old lady scold you?" Chu Huaide shook his head, gritting his teeth at a young age: "That woman is so anxious that tears will come out, as long as the eldest brother is willing to pay attention to me, it is useless for her to be in a hurry." "The woman she is talking about is the second lady. has such hatred at a young age, which is also the reason why the second lady usually persecuts too much.

After making trouble like this, the second lady lost her adult. She returned to her room and was very bored: "What's going on today?" "The second master and the second lady have always had the final say in the family, and the eldest prince of Chu is awkward, and he doesn't care about such things. Today, Chu Huaixian is like this, which makes Second Mrs. Chu very puzzled.

The next day was even more outrageous, Chu Huaixian gave Chu Huaide a box of pens, and listened to him recite a book in front of the old lady. Old Madam Chu rarely rewarded Chu Huaide with some money. Second Mrs. Chu was bored when she came back, and listened to the girl and whispered back: "Aunt Zhang and Xiao Chu in the son's room are together. The second lady suddenly realized that it was her!

In September, the weather is getting cooler, and everyone in the room is changing into jackets. Xiao Chu was still working on the child's belt, and he smiled at himself: "This belt will only be good next year." "According to Xiaochu's approach, I'm afraid I won't be able to use it next year.

was busy with a needle and thread in his hand, and Xia Lu came to call Xiao Chu: "Cheng is in charge of letting you go." Xiao Chu put down the needle and thread, and went to Steward Cheng's place, Steward Cheng's smile was full of face for Xiao Chu to do, and he showed her Xiao Chu's account book, and said very embarrassedly: "Miss Xiao Chu, your account book is too embarrassing for me, you also took the four thousand taels of silver, is this account more detailed?" Xiao Chu looked at the blue account book and smiled: "What kind of method?" ”

Cheng stewards laughed with him, if he let others in the family see it, he would definitely not dare to recognize him. But on the orders of the second lady, he could only pretend, and then said that if Xiao Chuzhi was overthrown, everyone would benefit. "Miss Xiaochu, this money is a sum of money, the money for eating out is a sum of money, and you have to write down clearly what wine and food you want outside. So you don't feel embarrassed, and I don't feel embarrassed, do you? Xiao Chu was silent: "Okay, I'll write." ”

Xiao Chu, who didn't refute, came to see Chu Huaixian and threw the matter to him: "Childe taught me how to write." Chu Huaixian was slightly happy: "Let's put it here first, if he urges, let him not worry." Chu Huaixian, who had all the money in his hand, was not in a hurry, Lin Xiaochu was not angry: "I am a girl, he is in charge, if he urges him to death, what can I do." Chu Huaixian pretended to think about it: "It's okay for you to bully him, you're not very good at bullying people." ”

Xiao Chu slammed the curtain and left, and Chu Huaixian scolded in the back: "Something without rules!" "Duofu Duoshou and Sun Erhai avoided it, Xiao Chu was furious, but it was better to hide.

Jin Xi'er came in from outside and presented a letter to Chu Huaixian: "The master said that he would postpone his return and not come back until the end of the year." Chu Huaixian read his father's letter and went to tell his grandmother.

In the evening, Xiao Chu was still angry, the money did not fall, but let me write a detailed account. I don't know how to write, how can I get it! When the moon was on the willow top, Chu Huaixian, who was sitting in the room reading a book, said to Xiao Chu: "Change your clothes and go out with me." Qiubai's face turned white, and Xia Lu just smiled and didn't speak. Xiao Chu went to change his clothes and came over, and he was wearing a jade-white Luo shirt, Chu Huaixian looked at it and said, "Come back late, take the cloak and bring it." Xiao Chu liked it a little, and after a day's face, he asked with a smile: "Take me on a horse?" Chu Huaixian put his face on the board: "Don't bring it!" After pulling a day's face to show people, Xiao Chu liked it for a while.

Although Childe kept a straight face, Xiao Chu didn't care about it. took the cloak and Chu Huaixian came out, saw the horse outside, recognized one and climbed to the horse. Chu Huaixian only took Jin Xi'er and Xiao Chu outside, Xiao Chu rode the horse skillfully this time, and he was happy on the horse.

Walking through the long street, I saw all kinds of bustle, and stopped at a restaurant. The shopkeeper had already come over to greet him, and Chu Huaixian seemed to be a regular customer, so he threw away the reins of the horse and went straight upstairs. Xiao Chu followed to the private room, and Chu Huaixian asked Xiao Er: "Take a look at the menu." Xiao Er agreed to take it, and Chu Huaixian threw it to Xiao Chu: "Look at it slowly." "Xiao Chu is overjoyed, let me write a detailed account, and this is out.

The front look is OK, although the price of beef and chicken is expensive, it is not outrageous, and when he saw the end, Xiao Chu felt that the hairs on his body stood up: "What kind of wine is this, it costs five hundred taels and one jar?" "Five hundred taels can buy as many girls as there are, enough for a poor family to eat for many years. Chu Huaixian saw her surprised, and said with a smile: "Good wine!" Xiao Chu muttered: "It's the golden juice, it's nothing more than that." ”

With this menu in hand, Lin Xiaochu's detailed account, this can be written. She looked very hard at the moment, and wanted to keep the price of this dish in mind. Even if someone asks, it can also be said.

Five hundred taels of silver for one jar of wine, and four thousand taels of silver for eight jars, and a few who could drink it were all over in one night.
