All the way back to the house, Xiao Chu held the name charm and waited to see Mrs. Chu. The second lady was also in the room, and when she saw Xiao Chu's hairpin, she was not messy and smiling. The second lady asked suspiciously: "Is it fun in the temple?" ”

Xiao Chu said with a smile: "Mrs. and the second lady asked me to go, I sent silver to pick up things, I saw Miss Zhuang in the temple and asked her to say goodbye." Mrs. Chu said: "The girl of the dealer is in the temple?" ”

"Yes, Miss Zhuang said that she knew that I was going today, so let the girl call me, and I went." Xiao Chu glanced at the second lady and saw that she was really embarrassed. Xiao Chu thought that he was leaving, and he didn't plan to endure the second lady's politeness to her anymore.

Mrs. Chu looked at the second lady thoughtfully, and still cared, and asked Xiao Chu, "What did she say to you?" In response to this concern, Xiao Chu was moved, and did not reply to all of them, but said: "I saw the lotus flower meeting in the summer, and Miss Zhuang called me to greet the lady and the master, and then greet the son." ”

The second lady smiled: "Sister-in-law, you have chosen a good daughter-in-law." Mrs. Chu looked at Xiao Chu again, smiled slightly, and said, "Go back and rest." "This Lin Xiaochu, Mrs. Chu has always disliked and worried about her. I don't want her to say good things for Miss Zhuang today. Mrs. Chu is not without doubts, could it be that we all mistook her for a virtuous person?

Xiao Chu came out of the room and smiled slightly. Seeing that the wind and snow outside were more urgent, she wrapped her cloak tighter. There are only a few days before the Chinese New Year, and the stone bonsai in the yard and the railings of the old trees are frosty. Because of the heavy wind and snow, most of the people walking in the house have their heads down.

Walking through a hanging flower gate, I met a woman in Tsing Yi and shouted with a smile: "Miss Xiaochu," Xiao Chu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, this person is Liu Po.

"I'm waiting for you here for a while, but fortunately the wind and snow are strong, I said to avoid the snow for a while before leaving. If you don't come back, I don't have any idea of delaying it. "There are not many people walking far or near, and the family is in the room when there is nothing to do. Liu Po handed over an object to Xiao Chu and said with a smile: "The needle and thread you asked me to buy." ”

Xiao Chu understood that this was a pretext. She pretended to take out the money and said, "I don't have it on me today, you can take it tomorrow." Mrs. Liu will also mean: "If the girl doesn't have it, even if I am filial, if you want me to come, I will come over tomorrow afternoon." ”

The two exchanged these few hidden words, each laughed and walked away. She didn't walk a few steps, and there was a person standing straight on the pavilion in front of her, her face stiffened, and she didn't know if it was a person who was in a bad mood or if the weather was freezing and stiffening.

"Qiubai, standing outside in such weather? Go back to your room! Xiao Chu scolded with a smile: "It's really looking for a sick child to find a good weather, you try it when the weather is sick, and you won't finish it if you don't peel off a few layers of skin." ”

His face was frozen white and miserable, and he was wearing a lotus-blue cloak, which made his complexion even paler. She spoke coldly, her voice colder than the ice ridges on the eaves of the pavilion: "I'm waiting for you." ”

Xiao Chu walked over, still smiling: "If you have something to say, let's go back and say it, see if you are cold." As he spoke, he picked up one of Qiubai's hands and put it on the hand stove he was holding, and Xiao Chu smiled: "You are good." ”

"Dangchang" sounded, Qiubai's face suddenly turned red, and he waved his hand to knock off the hand stove, how far did the hand stove roll out in the sound of "clanging", and the family members in the distant room were alarmed, and a few people came out to watch.

Xiao Chu saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Let's go back and say something," Qiu Bai stepped forward and slapped Xiao Chu angrily, Xiao Chu fortunately had a flexible body, not like Qiu Bai was a person who froze his body. Another hand stove was knocked out, Xiao Chu was a little vigilant, so he hurriedly dodged this slap, only his fingertips swept to his face, it was a hot pain.

"You lied to me! Why are you lying to me! I don't dare to fight with you, you still lie to me! Qiu Bai roared, how far the sound came out in the snow, and hit Xiao Chu when he pounced.

Xiao Chu hurriedly retreated, slipped and fell to the ground. Seeing Qiubai rushing over, he rolled a few times regardless of the ugliness, and then dodged Qiubai, a madman. Listening to the sound of footsteps again, several family members looked wrong and came over to stop Qiubai.

"You vixen, you are the best at seducing Childe at night, look at what you wear on your head and what you are wearing, these are all what you are going to come at night......" Qiubai's face turned red, as if he was crazy, he struggled regardless of it, and then shouted wildly.

Xiao Chu sat in the snow, so angry that tears came out again. Seeing Qiubai's family, some people were gloating; Some people are sympathetic and pitiful; Some people are suspicious and keep looking at Xiao Chu's clothes.

In the snow, Chu Huaixian and Mrs. Chu hurried over from both sides, and Mrs. Chu arrived first, and when she heard Qiubai's roar, she said angrily: "Tie up this lawless minion!" Chu Huaixian rushed over, kicked Qiu Bai a few times, and scolded: "The slave who is wild, shut her mouth." ”

Xiao Chu rushed over, knelt in front of Qiu Bai, and begged Chu Huaixian: "Son, she is angry today, she is sick today, she is sick and talking nonsense." "Go and ask Mrs. Chu again: "Madame is angry, she has always served Gongzi with her heart and mind, and she is a person who has followed Gongzi for many years." ”

Lin Xiaochu didn't seize the opportunity to be a good person, but Qiubai, Xiaochu was really sad for her. What's the use of always following yourself, it's better to think about yourself if you have this mind.

Mrs. Chu was furious, Chu Huaixian was also furious, Qiubai was just scolding with nonsense, Xiao Chu did his best to sympathize and had to intercede for her.

Seeing Xiao Chu's intercession, Mrs. Chu's anger eased slightly, but her face was still gloomy towards Qiu Bai, and seeing that Qiu Bai was tied up and gagged, Mrs. Chu said angrily: "Take her to the second door and beat her out with forty boards." Qiu Bai regretted coming up at this time, whimpering in his mouth and struggling with pleading frenzy in his eyes.

"Madam, you spare her this time," only Lin Xiaochu desperately interceded for her, and Xiaochu also cried: "You know her thoughts," and then begged Chu Huaixian: "Son, you also know, spare her this time." ”

Mrs. Chu smiled: "You get up, see what should you do if you get snowy and frostbite." Chu Huaixian also smiled, half hugged Xiao Chu and half pulled her up, untied her snowcoat that was covered in snow, untied his coat and draped it for Xiao Chu, and then said to his mother: "I don't want this slave, let my mother get out." ”

Xiao Chu tugged at Chu Huaixian's shirt tightly and cried at him: "Don't pick her, don't pick her." Chu Huaixian smiled: "I'll send you back first, don't worry about this." ”

Xiao Chu, who was half-hugged and half-carried back, took another look at Qiubai who was kneeling in the snow. Two lines of tears flowed down Qiubai's face, and Xiao Chu's tears fell to the ground, this is the end of when the girl thinks wildly.

This tragic ancient man!

The girls in the room were startled, and the son carried Xiao Chu's snowcoat with one hand, and came back with Xiao Chu half in one hand. Childe is a homely dress, and Xiao Chu is wearing Childe's snow suit. When he went up the steps, Chu Huaixian shouted: "Make hot tea, go to the kitchen and ask for ginger soup, move the brazier over, stupid, and then go to fetch hot water." ”

When I first entered the room outside, my cold body was going to shiver. Xiao Chu sat on the couch trembling and crying: "Leave her, it's not that I don't know what she thinks." Chu Huaixian sat beside her and smiled, holding the hot tea sent by Xia Lu with one hand, and holding Xiao Chu with the other hand to feed her tea: "If you let me stay, I'll stay?" Clean yourself up first, it's the New Year, what are you going to play when you're sick. ”

Xiaoyi stuck to her sister's side and rubbed her hands with her own little hands. Chu Huaixian shouted the lotus again: "No eyes, take Xiao Chu's clothes." Lotus took the clothes, Xiao Chu had already drunk hot tea and no longer trembled, and the person sat on the couch in a daze, with a big brazier under his knees.

The two stewards who came in from outside replied: "Madame said, pack up Qiubai's things and send them out." Xiao Chu jumped up in front of Chu Huaixian, held his hand and said anxiously, "You really can't stay?" Chu Huaixian smiled: "No." Xiao Chu's eyes met Chu Huaixian's eyes, and pleaded again: "What do I beg you?" Even if she stays and is a sweeping girl, I beg you. ”

Chu Huaixian said softly: "There are family rules in the family, even if you break it, you will be punished." Be obedient, you can sleep in your room for a while, and sleep in my room. ”

Then he instructed Xia Lu: "Pack up Qiubai's things and send them out." He picked up Lin Xiaochu and went to the room. The girls in the room were all frightened, and it took a long time for Bi Jin to react, and quietly asked Xiaoyi: "Hey, you will be the master girl in the future." Xiaoyi grinned: "My sister said no." ”

Xia Lu took someone to pack up Qiubai's things, and then went to the upper room and whispered to the girl who stayed in this room: "The room hasn't finished crying yet?" The girl waved her hand and whispered, "Childe is coaxing." It's really strange, I just inquired, Qiubai scolded Xiao Chu, and Xiao Chu pleaded for her. ”

"This is Qiu Bai's wanton to recruit," Xia Lu sighed: "At least Xiao Chu is willing to help her intercede, if it was someone else, she would have stepped on it a long time ago." The girl also laughed quietly: "Xiao Chu, I don't step on people." Xia Lu said again: "She is bullying people, and then people are bullying her, like a cat that has been stepped on its tail." ”

This cat that was stepped on its tail has a broken tail today. Lying on his bedding last night and crying, Chu Huaixian sat next to him and coaxed: "What are you crying about?" What is there to cry about. It's not close to you, it's not always difficult for you, this time it's gone, you should like it. ”

"I don't like it!" Xiao Chu said hatefully: "Does Childe know how she will live if she is kicked out?" Chu Huaixian laughed: "She should know better than me, since she is clear, she shouldn't do this." ”

Xiao Chu lay on the pillow and didn't speak, Chu Huaixian lowered his body and said, "Are you so virtuous?" It's really strange that he suddenly became a virtuous person. Xiao Chu held the handkerchief that was wet with his own crying, and thought angrily, this is all the fault of the son, who provoked Qiubai and a bunch of people.

Xiao Chu irresponsibly blamed Chu Huaixian's peach blossoms everywhere on Chu Huaixian.
