The laughter of Hongxianglou came faintly from the carved window. Chu Huaixian pushed away the big red apricot blossom quilt and got up, the moonlight outside the window was sinking in the west, and a yellow halo hung in the sky.

Fang Xiang, who was sleeping on the side, stretched out his head to look at him, since he knew that he was the son of Chu, Fang Xiang was flattering. took a piece of clothing and put it on Chu Huaixian, wrapped the white tender arm around his shoulder, and asked in a coquettish whisper: "Childe wants to be hungry?" If you want to use something, I'll have it delivered. ”

Chu Huaixian gently pushed her away and put on his coat: "I want to go back, you can sleep alive." The hourglass of the pavilion was after the third watch, and the fragrance coquettishly said: "The city gate is closed, how can the son be born?" Is it to blame me for not serving well," Fang Xiang took out the veil and wiped her tears.

"How do you know I live outside the city?" Chu Huaixian said lightly and casually.

Fang Xiang knelt down, raised her face and pretended to be charming: "The concubine heard Zhu Niang call you Chu Gongzi, and the concubine boldly guessed that Gongzi is the eldest son of today's Chu Shaofu?" Young Master Chu's annex was outside the city. ”

Chu Huaixian had long known that Zhu Niang's words were inappropriate, and he didn't want this fireworks woman to hear it once. Chu Huaixian, who did not admit or deny it, tied the last belt and walked to the bed to get his carved white jade belt. The fragrance that couldn't be stopped, kneeling on the ground and putting on boots for Chu Huaixian.

Such a well-behaved person made Chu Huaixian think of Lin Xiaochu again. Lin Xiaochu is not well-behaved, nor is he supple, he always has his own opinions. Chu Huaixian smiled indifferently, the children of the poor have long been in charge, but they are too arrogant, so they will meet the assassin and run away by themselves, and they will go home without owing money. As many officials as you want from the DPRK and China, you have to be attached to my family. The son came here, but was despised by this girl.

The door opened with a babble, and Chu Huaixian walked out, and Aroma groveled behind him. Chu Huaixian turned around and smiled: "It's early in the morning, you still go to sleep." Fang Xiang lowered her head, her eyes were wet, and she almost burst into tears: "When will Childe come back?" ”

"I'll come and see you when I'm free." Chu Huaixian went to the fireworks, and occasionally did it. In ancient times, there was no psychological barrier to this. He said a cliché casually, walked out of the side room, and the master and servant went outside.

In the middle of the night, when more guests returned, the old bustard came to the aromatic room and asked her, and when she entered the house, she was aggressive: "What time is it, the son is leaving?" I think you're not waiting well. ”

Fang Xiang sent over the ten taels of silver that Chu Huaixian had dropped, and rubbed his clothes and belts aggrieved: "I kept him, but he just refused." The old bustard accepted the money, but still scolded: "When he was in your room, I had already inquired clearly, this is the only son of Young Master Chu." What a rich man he is, you have waited well, and you have left only ten taels of silver. Whatever was returned, take it out quickly. But there are rings, jewelry, and silver tickets, let me find them out and give you a good meal. ”

Fang Xiang was about to cry just now, just because Chu Huaixian had no intention of saying a word of concern. When the guests returned in the middle of the night, it was not that there was a Hedong lion at home, and the old bustard had to interrogate him carefully afterwards. As for the private release of silver two, it is even more taboo.

The old bustard, who was rummaging in the room, didn't find anything else, so he came over and twisted his fragrant ears and scolded again: "Little slut, raise you to a big age, and the money spent can beat you out." How many times have you been taught that rich guests should be well served, and you have not listened at all. Childe is leaving in the middle of the night, won't you cry, kneel and beg, and complain? Let go of the God of Wealth, only ten taels of silver, and see if the old lady gives you a good meal. ”

Aroma's crying and begging for mercy was mixed with beating and scolding. The moonlight is half hidden behind the dark clouds, and this Qinglou is always used to scolding, and Yue'er can't bear to look at it.

Chu Huaixian, who was walking on the street with a horse, was not worried that the city gate was closed. The defense of the city is a left garrison arrangement, and the officials under him know more about Gongzi. When he saw that Childe was about to leave the city, the city gate was opened and he was let out.

Back home, it was the fourth watch knocked. Chu Huaixian came in and went to the small junior room. He woke up in the middle of the night, and suddenly thought that the lotus flower would not wake up from sleeping, and Xiao Chu, a girl who had no son in her eyes, woke up, only afraid that she would be hungry all night.

Lin Xiaochu really did as Chu Huaixian thought, he drank medicine during the day and slept until night. At this time, I was hungry, and when I looked at the moon in the sky, I always saw it as a golden cake.

Shout a few more lotuses, but the lotus on the opposite side always doesn't wake up. It's weird, it's even harder to shout than last night. Xiao Chu was holding on and wanted to get off the ground by himself, and when he could move with both hands, he didn't expect it to be so difficult to get up with one hand. accidentally touched the injured arm, and it hurt the heart and lungs.

After a few pains and endurance, this can be regarded as sitting up. Looking at the room, Lin Xiaochu was speechless, it was still good in the son's room, and he had everything to eat and drink. There was nothing to eat in this room, and when I used to shake the teapot, it was also empty. Xiao Chuyu stared at the night sky, is the moon a cake and the stars a small snack?

I'm so hungry, I'm really hungry, Lin Xiaochu sat in the room, very sad. Just as I was sad, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a figure was coming here. The wind blows the trees outside the window, and this garden is so quiet that sometimes it is actually scary at night. Lin Xiaochu, who was sitting in the room, was terrified, and only heard a voice: "Xiaochu, open the door." ”

It's Childe's voice! Lin Xiaochu stroked his chest, didn't think about opening the door, and looked at it at a glance, a little pitiful: "Childe, you came to see me?" Actually, I really want to change it to: "Childe, do you have anything to eat?" "When I wasn't sick before, I couldn't go hungry like I do now, so it's no wonder that patients always need to be nourished.

Chu Huaixian looked down at Xiao Chu, and the first sentence was very to the point: "Are you hungry?" Lin Xiaochu only nodded a few times, but he nodded very hard: "If you don't drink that medicine during the day in the future, and drink it at night when you go to sleep, you won't miss your meal." ”

Chu Huaixian, whose eyes had scanned the room, wrinkled his brows at the lotus wrapped in the quilt: "This slave hasn't woken up yet?" "Sure enough, it was the same as I thought. Lin Xiaochu excused the lotus in a low voice: "She lives a lot during the day." ”

"What does she do during the day?" Chu Huaixian asked coldly, he was seriously injured, and he could still excuse others. Lin Xiaochu replied embarrassedly: "I slept for a day and didn't see it, and I'll tell Gongzi the next day." ”

"No need, you sit, I'll get you food." Chu Huaixian looked at Lin Xiaochu's injured arm dragging beside him, and said with concern: "If the broken bone grows well, the most important thing is to recuperate." It's a lifelong thing. ”

It takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and Lin Xiaochu also knows it. But she, hey, hey, there are also people in the village who break bones while working, like I can raise them like this, which is a blessing for my son....... right! I owe this injury to my son.

The accusation in Xiao Chu's eyes was revealed, and Chu Huaixian snorted: "This is a lesson for you to assert yourself, but there is something in the future, stand behind me." After glancing at the room, Chu Huaixian also wondered: "Why didn't you eat?" ”

"Even if there is no water," Lin Xiaochu immediately shrank his head after answering: "Don't blame the lotus, it's me who didn't catch up with the meal." Chu Huaixian was already full of anger, and said coldly to the sleeping lotus: "Minion, you can get up!" ”

The voice was not low, and the lotus flower was still snorting. Chu Huaixian walked in a few steps, shook a few times on the lotus shoulder, Lin Xiaochu's eyes widened, and he hadn't woken up yet! Chu Huaixian turned around and said angrily, "What did she eat and sleep so deeply?" ”

Enter the second door by yourself and let Jinxi'er go to sleep. There was no one behind him, and Chu Huaixian was even more angry. He walked up to Lin Xiaochu and bent down to pick her up. Xiao Chu hadn't understood yet, and the person had already slept on the bed. Chu Huaixian dropped a sentence: "If you fall asleep, I'll come." ”

"Childe!" Lin Xiaochu's mind turned quickly, and he hurriedly called out to Chu Huaixian and discussed with him: "There are two more hours in the morning, and the son doesn't have to alarm others for me." Xiao Chu was very sincere: "I am the one who is leaving, why bother with them." ”

Chu Huaixian turned around and went out, walking under the leaves of the shining moonlight, even more angry. Childe, when will I promise you to go! From making your own opinions, how can you have the right to make up your mind in front of me. Walking to the front yard, Chu Huaixian kicked the door open, and scolded when he entered: "I'm back, you guys are still asleep." ”

Knowing that the son did not return to stay in the spring and summer, they slept soundly, and they were awake. As soon as the door rang, he got up, and he only wore small clothes to answer with a smile: "I asked Steward Pang and said that the son would not come back, so I went to sleep." ”

"Bang" twice, one person received a slap in the face, Chu Huaixian scolded: "I'm not here, you have never been lazy." There are people in the room who are recuperating from their wounds, there is no tea and no snacks, and you still take me seriously! ”

The mother who was watching the courtyard door had not slept yet, and when she heard the movement, she stretched out her head under the porch, and Chu Huaixian called her in: "Let everyone get up, I want to judge people." ”

Lin Xiaochu heard the sound of crying and walking in front of him, and sighed heavily. By tomorrow, everyone in this family will hate me, and I have disturbed the dreams of so many people. Shouting lotus again and still not waking up, Lin Xiaochufang smiled bitterly, and two mothers-in-law came in front of him, holding tea and snacks in their hands, and said with a smile: "Childe asked the master in the kitchen to cook on the stove, this is ready-made, and Miss Xiaochu will pad it first." ”

There are two mothers-in-law in the back, Xiao Chu was shocked when he saw it, this is the housekeeper's mother. They had straight faces and ropes in their hands. came in and signaled to Xiao Chu, and went to the lotus bed. I picked up the lotus flower that was still asleep and tied it up, but the lotus flower still did not wake up, and her face was sleepy and she made a snorting sound.

Xiao Chu was anxious and said urgently: "Where are the mothers taking her?" A housekeeper's mother smiled slightly: "Xiaochu girl only raises it, it's the son who wants to judge her, you don't have to come." ”

"But she didn't do anything," Lin Xiaochu was anxious, if he didn't recuperate, how could the lotus flower be like this. The mother-in-law who served her to eat and drink couldn't stop her, and Lin Xiaochu also came to the front.

A basin of cold water was splashed on the lotus flower that turned the ground, and the lotus woke up, slowly opened her eyes, and was still muttering: "It's raining," and her body was sore and struggling, only to see that her five flowers were tied like zongzi and fell to the ground.

The front yard was brightly lit, and Chu Huaixian sat on the newly moved Taishi chair under the corridor in this brightness, staring at the lotus flowers as cold as frost, and said slowly: "What did you eat?" Sleep so dead. ”

The wings of the geese on both sides were the same, and the stewards and servants all stood up. Stay in spring and summer, and "swish" a white face. What the lotus ate was best known to them.
