There was no moonlight in the snowy night outside the window, and Chu Huaixian's face was as cold as the snowy night. The flickering red candle on the bookcase brings a touch of warmth to the study, and the only thing that is lit in the room is the candle flame, and there is no brazier.

"Chunhong went to talk to the second master about things, when did it start?" The second master was listening to Chunhong, and Chu Huaixian was also listening to Mother Ji, who was waiting in the second master's room. Ji's mother is by the second lady's side, and her daughter Xiaoyan is also in the room, so it is much easier to inquire about this news.

Mother Ji, who was only in her thirties, stood in front of Chu Huaixian with her hands down: "Since the year before last, the second master has been a housekeeper, and Chunhong's parents are housekeepers, and they often talk back, or ask her parents if they are talking back to the second master, saying that there is something to find at home." There are also Jia'er in the son's room, Xue Gui, Qi's mother, and Fang's mother are all people who often go to the second master. ”

Calculate the days before last when Chu Huaixian gradually felt that the second uncle was in charge of everything, and when he went out to meet a friend, who did the second uncle want to inquire about? In a few days, I will talk about this friend in a bad way, or stay at home and read, and my grandmother, father and mother will like it when they know it. What a joke, who doesn't have a few friends. A good man walks outside, how can he do it without knowing a few people, even if he is a playmate!

It was last year that Chu Huaixian lost his temper in a fit of anger and stayed in the courtyard for half a year. The second uncle who came back a few years ago was much more polite, and he didn't want to have tricks behind his back. Mother Ji was still replying: "Mrs. Xu, who guards the door of the second courtyard, is the son who returned late, she waited for the door and was casually praised by the son, Chunhong returned to the second master and promoted Mrs. Xu to the moon silver, so that she was the prime minister of the second door." Chunhong went in and out at night, and she opened the door to let her go. ”

After the words came back, Mother Ji came out, and the snow under her feet sounded, and in this chattering sound, Mother Ji touched the silver she had just gotten, and the eldest son was the real head of the family. The second master just doesn't divide it, the eldest son is older, and this year is almost up to him. Chu Huaixian's mother called her to come over and beat her, and Ji's mother took refuge in the eldest son Huaixian.

After a while, Chu Huaixian came out and went to the room. When he returned to the room to see that Chunhong was still there, he pretended to ask casually, "Where is Chunhong?" Xia Lu replied: "Speaking of Gongzi Ming'er's breakfast, my sister didn't say a word, she went to tell it herself." Outside, Chunhong entered the courtyard gate, and Dong Ran came out and laughed at her quietly: "When the son comes back, he will find his sister, and he won't leave for a while." ”

Chunhong hurriedly came in and came back, and Chu Huaixian smiled at her under the lamp: "Beware of freezing when it's cold, if you have something to say, let the little girl run, I won't see you when I come back, I haven't changed my clothes yet." Bring your clothes. When Dong Ran heard it outside, he grabbed Qiubai, who was about to come in, and told her: "If you go in, you will disturb the two people, that is, Xia Lu is in the room, hurry up and call her out." ”

The two of them wiped their necks in front of Xia Lu outside to make a look at her and let her out, one left and one right pulled Xia Lu to stand still, and they all laughed quietly: "You are obedient in the room, if she doesn't come, the son's clothes can't be changed, if we are you, hear such words in the room, go out and hit the snow." Xia Lu thought about it, and he didn't go in the outside. The three of them teased in a low voice: "We are people who can't serve, why bother to be obedient in vain." ”

Chunhong took the homely clothes on the smoker cage and put them on Chu Huaixian, and came out to ask Jia'er: "Fetch hot water to come and sleep after the son's washing." Seeing the three big girls only smiling at themselves, Chunhong blushed and heartbeat even more, and blamed them: "You can't be used to it, just laugh here if you don't wait." The three big girls laughed silently, but they were even more beautiful.

Re-entered to make the bed for Chu Huaixian, and Chu Huaixian, who was sitting there waiting for the wash, thought about this slender back before, Chunhong was in his room at a young age, and how diligent he was at that time, and his mind became more and more strange. The girls all want to go up the next step, but they also have to like the son.

After washing and sleeping, Chunhong came over to tuck the corners of the quilt for him. Chu Huaixian smiled slightly and said, "Don't run around in the future, only in the room." The day before yesterday, I caught a thief at night, saying that I was carrying something with words, and if you don't go out, there will be no suspicion of you. ”

Childe talked a lot today, Chunhong only felt concerned, she seized this opportunity, thanked her and whispered to Xiao Chu: "Nothing to do with rouge, for the sake of Childe's own pick, I just want to persuade her if she is naughty." Childe has a free time, so it's good to talk about her. Chunhong is here to play with it again.

Chu Huaixian smiled again: "What you said is very true. Chunhong watched him close his eyes and put down the brocade tent and return to his bed. Touching his cheeks was just hot, and the son first said that he couldn't change his clothes if he didn't come back, which was a compliment in Chunhong's opinion; and confessed not to run around, it is to be prepared for care. In the quiet of the snowy night, Chunhong's heart churned and she couldn't sleep.

In the first month, there is nothing to do, the girls are also idle, and Chu Huaixian has become an idler after eating New Year's wine. Standing under the porch in the afternoon to watch the plum blossoms, Lin Xiaochu sneaked in from the outside again, this time she learned well, there was no burden in her hands, and she had more than a dozen boxes of rouge in her sleeves, which she sold and replenished in five or six days.

Chu Huaixian beckoned: "Come here," Lin Xiaochu jumped up and approached, Chu Huaixian looked at her with a smile, and suddenly asked, "Is she better?" Lin Xiaochu saw that the girls were all holding their ears out of the corner of his eye, and those who were far away from his son were called by him, and those who wanted to be close to him were not called. If Lin Xiaochu dared to be angry, he would have protested many times a long time ago.

"Thanks to my son, she's much better."

"What blessing do you owe me? I asked you if she was okay, and you wouldn't go through the door again. Chu Huaixian said, Lin Xiaochu lowered his head: "Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread." It is not easy for a sick person to get better. ”

Chu Huaixian's voice cooled down: "Really? Are you going to wait for her to jump alive enough to go down to the river to fish? Flick your sleeves: "Come in." Chunhong liked it in her heart, and stretched out her head from time to time to look at Chu Huaixian and Lin Xiaochu who walked to the side. Looking at it, I don't think it's right, Xiao Chu is grinding ink, and Childe is painting. The two of them looked very good, Lin Xiaochu smiled like a flower, and Chu Huaixian also smiled. Chunhong took a few steps past the curtain and listened to what they had to say.

"That's okay, right?" Xiao Chu grinded ink with both hands, and the weight of more than a dozen boxes of rouge in his sleeves was not light, and he was tired and sore after not grinding for a while, and he just scolded Chu Huaixian in his heart, why is painting not a Chinese painting, he is painting ink painting. You don't need to grind ink to paint Chinese paintings, Lin Xiaochu thought.

Chu Huaixian raised his eyes by chance, just smiled at the sweat on Lin Xiaochu's forehead and the pleading in his eyes, and then lowered his head to paint and did not allow Lin Xiaochu to stop: "This ink has to be sharpened thickly." Lin Xiaochu had a smile on his face and tears in his heart; Chunhong looked at them outside, with a smile on her face and blood dripping from her heart.

Finally, Chu Huaixian said that it was okay, Lin Xiaochu put down his sleeves, and in a clanging sound, the rouge in his sleeves fell to the ground. Chu Huaixian was stunned: "What is this?" The embarrassed Xiao Chu hurriedly picked it up. There was a box that watched it roll down under the chair where Chu Huaixian was sitting, and Xiao Chu discussed with him: "Please move my son, my things are below." ”

"Humph!" Chu Huaixian sank his face, Xiao Chu found that he was angry, and quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake first: "I'm afraid it won't be easy to go out in the future, I bought a few more boxes and put it away, this rouge won't be bad, at most, it's just dry, it seems to be able to adjust water......" At the end, his voice lowered. Xiao Chu shrugged his head and thought he was unlucky: "Please punish the son." ”

The curtain moved, it was Chunhong who was happily waiting for her son to reproach Lin Xiaochu, she liked it too much and couldn't help but move. Chu Huaixian's face was cold, but the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and he only stretched out his finger and nodded on Lin Xiaochu's forehead: "I repeat to you, you are not allowed to bring things from the outside in, and if you don't have anything to bring in, you have to show it to the person at the door." ”

Lin Xiaochu's head was like a chicken pecking rice, and Chu Huaixian said again: "Let me see it in the future, I won't be so polite again." Lin Xiaochu was amnesty, and his smile was even more like a flower. Chunhong was very disappointed, and Childe let it go like this. Chu Huaixian was considered to have been sent down, and he didn't let Xiao Chu go: "Look at this I painted, I can use it as a trick for you." ”

The ink line on the rice paper is Ling Xiaohua, Lin Xiaochu likes it very much: "Can this be given to me?" She couldn't believe it, and neither could Chunhong outside. Chu Huaixian looked at it with satisfaction: "What you gave it to you is not for nothing." You take it, embroider a purse for me, and use it as a thank you gift. ”

Lin Xiaochu had a bitter face: "Are you pulling money?" I didn't bring in a few boxes of rouge. A word reminded Chu Huaixian: "By the way, I have never asked for the first money you paid for selling flowers." Xiao Chu bit his lip, very painful: "Deduct it from the monthly money for one year." "The silver is going to fly away again, for the poor Lin Xiaochu, the greatest sorrow in the world is nothing more than this. The only thing she hated at this time was that her little tongue said the wrong thing.

The two of them seemed to be entangled in the room, Chunhong was sad and had to pretend to smile and go back to the couch and sit down, thinking about it for a while, Xiao Chu was still in it and didn't come out. Chunhong suddenly felt jealous, she could pester her son for so long. It is to be side by side in the future, where is there still their own place.

Lin Xiaochu continued to suffer in front of Chu Huaixian, Chu Huaixian was kind and pleasant, but his words made Xiao Chu sad: "I've been out for a few days, don't go out again." If someone comes to you at the door, don't bring anything with you. Xiao Chu almost whimpered: "Yes." ”

"Alright, let's go back to our room. It's time for dinner, so come quickly. Chu Huaixian said, Xiao Chu was still looking at the chair he was sitting on, and Chu Huaixian said again: "What else are you thinking?" Lin Xiaochu was pitiful and hung his head and came out with the painting, and he was even more jealous in Chunhong's eyes. Childe asked her to accompany her for a long time, but she pretended to be reluctant.

The last one to come out was Chu Huaixian, who casually glanced at Chunhong's face. I'm close to other girls, does Chunhong understand what I'm beating, or does she have any thoughts? Gongzi Huaixian plans to wait, if he doesn't commit it again, the previous matter can be ignored.
