After two days, Fang Xiang asked the girls to pass a word: "Zhu Niang is even worse." "The girls flattered the young lady, and a few of them even went to the aroma shop to buy things. Chu Huaixian was later strictly forbidden, and only the few people in the past still knew that there was a Qin Ji shop.

Xiao Chu got the word, rewarded the girl with a piece of silver, and sat in the room to think about it. Identity, and identity again? In modern times, a person who is president can look at ordinary people. Xiao Chu thought about it for a night and didn't have a good idea, and when Chu Huaixian came back from the snow, he saw that she was preoccupied. The husband advised: "I saw Liang Gongzi in the afternoon, don't worry, you can't die." Xiao Chu got angry again: "Are you talking auspiciously?" It's a big New Year. ”

The next day, Chu Huaixian said that he went out of the city with King Liang and others, and Xiao Chu saw that he had arrow sleeves in his clothes, and asked, "Is bows and arrows fun?" Chu Huaixian said: "It's not fun, today is a competition, not a play." "Xiao Chu knew that he would definitely come back late. After Chu Huaixian left, Xiao Chu found out the post that Mrs. Jin had given him two days ago. Originally, I was grateful to Mrs. Jin, but after Chu Huaixian nodded a sentence or two, Mrs. Chu Shao also felt that it was too coincidental, this post was shown to Chu Huaixian, and she was definitely not allowed to go.

At this time, take this post and let Chunshui change his clothes. Chunshui came out with a jacket of southern red rain silk brocade, and Xiao Chu said, "You go with me to see my mother." Chunshui was stunned: "Huh? His mouth was open until he went out. Xiao Chu feigned anger: "I can't go to see my mother? Chunshui's mouth was retracted and closed and then opened: "No, I just want to say, goodbye to Childe at home." Xiao Chu ignored her and walked forward.

Mrs. Chu was busy when she heard the girl going back and forth: "The young lady came to see Madame." Mrs. Chu was also stunned, and thought that Chu Huaixian was not at home today, and Brother Yu's mother might have something to say. Mrs. Chu agreed: "Let her in." Xiao Chu came in, respectfully greeted him, and presented the post in his hand to Mrs. Chu: "This post, I don't know if I should go?" At the same time, he was beating a drum in his heart, Gongzi is not a talkative person, and he should not have said to Mrs. Chu that this post came the day before yesterday.

Mrs. Chu took it and said with a smile: "It's okay to go and have a look, these ladies are also enthusiastic, they give porridge in winter, and they are afraid of plague in summer, and they also cook Chinese herbal tea for the poor to drink." Go early and come back early, you don't have to agree to the matter of partnering with soup kitchen, and there is a porridge shed at home, so you don't have to mix with them. Xiao Chu responded: "Yes." ”

came out excitedly, looked at the spring water stunned, and came to ask carefully: "Madame didn't say anything?" Xiao Chu bluntly explained: "You didn't train me." Chunshui's nose touched slightly, feeling that his kindness was being rushed, and he pouted and came back with Xiao Chu. Xiao Chu shouted that she would take the cloak for shoes and take the hand stove to prepare the car, and after half an hour, Mrs. Chu Shao came out and smiled at Sun Erhai, who was holding a horsewhip: "It's you today?" ”

Sun Erhaipi didn't smile: "Jin Xi'er went out with the son, and I was clever, I heard that the young lady went out temporarily, I think it was best for me to catch the car." Xiao Chu clapped his hands and praised: "I haven't seen you for a while, you are much more clever." Sun Erhai, who is in his forties, did not say a word: "I am not only smart, but also tall, and I can grow in everything." Xiao Chu smiled: "And you have a lot of wrinkles." Chunshui followed and got into the car and muttered, "This slave is too wild." ”

Because I didn't know where Liang Longzheng was, I went to pick up the fragrance first. Only then did I know that Lianglong was living in his uncle's house, and he was a relative when he was confinement, and he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors after the full moon, and he rushed back in the moon. Fang Xiang was worried about Xiao Chu in the carriage: "Zhu Niang's life is not good, don't invite patients to cry if you go to see it." ”

Xiao Chu thought back to the powerful cousin and sighed.

The carriage came to the door of Liang Longzheng's uncle's house, and Chunshui helped Xiaochu down, followed closely by Aroma. Sun Erhai opened the way in front of him, and went to the door and said: "The young lady of the Chu Gongzi family, who is very good with Liang Gongzi, come to worship Zhu Niang." The man at the door was stunned: "Which pearl girl?" "Sun Erhai looked sideways at Xiao Chu, you asked me to say this. Fang Xiang walked up: "It's Aunt Lin." "Zhu Niang is also surnamed Lin.

The man at the door looked them up and down with straight eyes: "Is your aunt messing around?" Sun Erhai grinned before he scolded: "Presumptuous, this is Mrs. Chu, Young Fu Chu's family, do you have any ears." The man on the door was polite, but the young lady of the Chu family came to worship her aunt, and the man on the door couldn't believe it and hadn't spoken yet. Xiao Chu asked Fangxiang: "Do you know the way?" "This man is too hesitant.

Fang Xiang said: "I recognize, I have been here twice, and I have entered the corner gate." Xiao Chu unceremoniously ordered Sun Erhai: "You leave him to check the authenticity, and we will go in." As he spoke, he went inside, and the person on the door was just about to stop him, but Sun Erhai grabbed him and pulled him to look at his big face: "I won't go, don't worry, you are the official, and I won't leave." ”

Xiao Chu and Fang Xiang and Chunshui went inside, and Chunshui was not without excitement: "Broke in?" "It feels good. It's okay for Fang Xiang to recognize the way, and she brought Xiao Chu to Zhu Niang's room familiarly, and shouted inside: "Young Mrs. Chu has come to see you." Xiao Chu rarely felt awkward: "What are you shouting," Chunshui also opened the shelf, pushed open the door like his own home, smelled the unfresh smell in the room, and stopped Xiao Chu with his hand: "The patient here is angry, young lady, you are slow." ”

The room slowly sighed: "Is it Xiao Chu?" "Zhu Niang's voice, Zhu Niang's voice, is Zhongqi, and there is no more than half of it. Xiao Chu hadn't seen anyone yet, and tears came down.

When Mrs. Liang got the reward, she hurriedly dressed up and came out, while scolding the doorman who came to report the news: "Confused! Young Master Chu and Uncle Chu are good, how can you let Mrs. Chu into her aunt's room, she is still a patient. The doorman finally figured out from Sun Erhai whether it was true, and quickly ran to report the news, but listened to these scoldings, and said aggrievedly: "Mrs. Chu named her, and she wants to see Aunt Lin." Mrs. Liang only then remembered, and stopped with a sneer: "It turned out to be her!" Who in this capital doesn't know about her disgraceful things, I say, she is here to support Aunt Lin! Hmph, she has a big life, she became a wife, and she came to our house to stir up peace. ”

This is confident, ready to come to the outside of Zhu Niang's room, hearing a cry in the room from afar, Mrs. Liang strode in, and said coldly and politely: "Mrs. Chu, this is the New Year, are you here to add to the blockage or to pay a visit?" Dare to love your Chu family, is this the rule of crying on the door of others? ”

Xiao Chu held the scrawny Zhu Niang's hand, and he was not in the mood to quarrel with Mrs. Liang. The room was cold and there was no brazier, and the cover was not thin, but it had not been dried for a long time, and it was damp. Needless to say, Liang Long has not been here for a long time, and if he comes, he will definitely not be able to sleep.

Seeing that Mrs. Liang came to ask, Zhu Niang forced her sick body to sit up, and when she didn't sit down, she forced out a smile: "Young lady, don't be angry," Young Mrs. Liang saw a few tearful people here, she was so angry that her chest was sad, interrupted Zhu Niang's words, and sneered at Mrs. Chu: "Hello Young Master Chu and his grandson, Young Mrs. Chu is here, it should be sent tea in the living room, you come here to sit, I am confused again, can I go to visit your family, but also please go to my aunt's room to cry?" ”

Mrs. Chu didn't feel unreasonable, she just came to see an acquaintance. Facing Mrs. Liang's questioning, and her ashen face on her cheeks, Mrs. Chu just burst into tears at her: "How can you bear to treat her like this?" "I don't even have the heart to argue with her. Young Mrs. Liang turned white again: "How did your aunt treat her?" Mrs. Chu still looked at her with tears in her eyes: "What if you just give her a warm place?" ”

"I won't give it!" Mrs. Liang's face today is like a paint shop, from gray to white and then to red. Mrs. Chu burst into tears: "Can I give it to her?" Young Lady Liang opened her mouth, and her angry heart was shocked to a hundred and eight thousand miles away; And Lin Xiaochu was the same, the shock when he saw the thin Zhu Niang, and he put his anger aside. She has only one thought, which is to save Zhu Niang.

Mrs. Chu Shao hugged her old neighbor and wept bitterly. Young Mrs. Liang was so angry that she shook her hands back and forth in the room: "What kind of door-to-door method is this?" "I ran to someone's room and hugged a subordinate and cried bitterly. Is there a dead person in our family?

Chu Huaixian came back before dinner, went to see his grandmother and his mother, and Mrs. Chu told him: "Brother Yu's mother is out, alas, you still have to teach her everything." I said yes and she left, and sent her two boys to go out with her, and they didn't follow her car. Chu Huaixian hesitated, looked at his mother with a bad face, and still pretended to be casual and asked, "Where did you go?" ”

"It's the famous ladies, who said that it was soup kitchen, and I asked her to go and see it, so that they wouldn't say that they wouldn't go, and as for the soup kitchen, I told her not to give it." Mrs. Chu said that Chu Huaixian decided to explain the matter of the ladies to his mother first: "I don't like Mrs. Jin, I don't have to go in the future, my mother will see it, right?" Mrs. Chu casually: "Make your own decisions about the things in your room, if you don't ask me if she doesn't come to her, I'll help her get an idea." Looking out again, Tianwan: "I don't know where I went, you let someone pick it up." Chu Huaixian said lightly: "You don't need to pick it up, I'll come back." ”

Coming out of Mrs. Chu's room, Chu Huaixian's face sank suddenly, knowing that Xiao Chu should be in the Liang family at this time. After dinner, the day after dinner, Xiao Chu's carriage came back from Liang's house. Sun Erhai touched his head worriedly: "It's too late, right?" Why don't you go? Chunshui also pouted: "What do you say when you go back to see Childe?" ”

Xiao Chu saw that the sky was dark, starless and moonless, only boundless cold. Pu Yan said: "Childe came back late. After getting in the car, he and Chunshui sighed: "This night, how did Zhu Niang spend it alone?" Fang Xiang looked for the car and went back, and there was only a spring water nozzle in the car that could hang an oil bottle: "How did you spend tonight?" "The car is close to the door, and the little heart is playing the drum in the heart. Open your mouth to Chunshui: "Hey," and closed his mouth again. In this family, there is no one who will protect himself.

asked the doorman Chu Huaixian had returned, and the first thing Xiao Chu said in his heart was why he didn't stay outside for a while. The master and servant hurried to the room, and saw Chu Huaixian sitting alone in the room, reading a book under the candle. Chunshui retreated, and said irresponsibly: "You go in, I'll stay outside." Xiao Chu opened his mouth again: "Ah," and closed his mouth again and went in resignedly. The one in it is her husband, not Chunshui's husband.

came in silently, Chu Huaixian did not speak or raise his head. Xiao Chu didn't dare to enter the room too deeply, just one step in front of the door, he heard the thick brocade curtain falling behind him, and smiled at Chu Huaixian: "I'm back, it's not easy to walk in the snow, so I'll come back late." "I pretended to untie my cloak, but I actually put my hand under my neck and touched the knot.

Chu Huaixian was very simply: "Kneel." ”

Lin Xiaochu knew that there was such a thing, she took a step back, opened the curtain with her body, and the person stood outside. In the surprise of the girls outside, Mrs. Chu looked left and right, found a small place with wind and snow under the corridor, and ran there to kneel.

The people in the courtyard all stared at each other.
