Lin Xiaochu came to find You Cheng's daughter-in-law, and the warehouse in charge of tea sets came over later. Because there were many people inside and it was difficult to speak, Xiao Chu asked You Cheng's daughter-in-law to come out and talk outside. You Cheng's daughter-in-law came out, not as enthusiastic as before. The smile was full, and the voice was also attentive, but it was a little distant: "It's Miss Xiaochu, you sit in the room." "It's like a mother-in-law who has no identity and is as polite as she sees the girls who are serving her.

Seeing that Xiao Chu refused to come in, You Cheng's daughter-in-law smiled again and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, I still miss you." I cooked some delicious food at home, and I was thinking about asking Xiaoman to send it to you, so you don't want to see outside. Xiao Chu smiled and whispered to her, "Sister-in-law came here to talk." ”

and You Cheng's daughter-in-law walked under the crooked neck old locust tree, Xiao Chu explained his intentions, and said a word of self-blame: "I was going to come to tell my sister-in-law a long time ago, that is, I can't be idle these days, and I just came when I had time." Tomorrow at noon, I have a treat, and I invite my sister-in-law and Xiaoman's sister to come, so I also know someone, and Xiaoman's sister can also toast with her sisters. ”

Listening to the words word by word, You Cheng's daughter-in-law smiled like a flower on her face, and rushed Xiao Chu to call "Xiao Chu girl" one by one, this enthusiasm is the same as calling Xiao Chu girl just now. Just now it was a business-like courtesy, but this moment I can't be intimate: "Where did you get the money to entertain guests, so let's do it, I'll be halfway, I also know the people in the kitchen, and Ming'er asked Xiaoman to help deliver tea." There are still one or two good fruits for the New Year at home. You Cheng's daughter-in-law smiled and helped Xiao Chu plan and play a part.

Xiao Chu was very calm, and said with a smile: "Of course it's good for my sister-in-law to love me, you can come with Xiaoman's sister tomorrow, and if you pay for it, it won't show my heart for Xiaoman's sister, and this money can't be let my sister-in-law come out." It's just that tomorrow will come, and you love me again. There is also a sentence that I am careful to think about, my sister-in-law has this money, so it is better to take it to take care of the people in charge, and send Xiaoman's sister to our room earlier. ”

Under the old locust tree, You Cheng's daughter-in-law held Xiao Chu's hand with tears in her eyes. Lin Xiaochu thought from these tears for no reason that it was like glory to be able to enter the son's room. Xiao Chu pouted in his heart, no wonder Gongzi was arrogant, he felt that it was not ordinary to wait for him, and he dared to have these people at the bottom here.

Xiao Chu walked more than a dozen steps, and suddenly smiled again. She had lightning in her mind to figure out You Cheng's daughter-in-law's thoughts. When we first met just now, You Cheng's daughter-in-law was polite and enthusiastic, that is, she was also arrogant, Li'er was good, but she must be thinking in her heart, you are new to the city, and you can't leave us old people, so at the beginning, You Cheng's daughter-in-law also occupied the identity of an old man. Later, when I heard that Xiao Chu sincerely came to report the news, You Cheng's daughter-in-law was the one who poured out her heart and lungs.

Looking up at the blue sky, out of the weather of the first month and almost February, the sky is no longer gray in winter, but the blue sky is clear and clear. Alas, fortunately, I came to report today, otherwise, it would be easy for a semi-familiar person to be separated from each other. It's too late to report again, and it's probably not uncommon for people to be happy.

Xiao Chu doesn't know what kind of person Xiao Man is, but if he wants to find it himself, it's better than Jia'er. Back on the second gate, someone was making noise. It was a smartly dressed woman, with a green dress with flowers and a blue skirt. was arguing with the mothers in charge: "Moms and aunts, think about it, my daughter Jia'er has been in the house for two or three years, and she has committed several crimes, someone must have wronged her." Let me go in and theorize. ”

was stopped and sighed: "The new man comes, the old man goes." My daughter is only a little older, so she was kicked out, and the family was mourning all day long, and this day was not passed. Xiao Chu knew that this was Jia'er's mother, and his first reaction was to stand in the back. Judging by her teeth and claws, she didn't want to go in and find me.

Walking by the housekeeper Chu Youyi, this is Chunhong's father. Chu Youyi took the two of them and shouted: "The second protector's family, if you come to make trouble again, I will send you to see the second master." Jia Er Niang sat on the ground and began to cry: "My ancestors are also people who have served the old lady for three generations in the family. Housekeeper, you came just in time, let your daughter Sister Chunhong come out, I want to ask her, the new yellow-haired girl Jia'er is not familiar with her, why do you want to testify against her, who instigated and who taught. ”

Xiao Chu didn't look for himself, he stood behind the tree and watched the excitement. The cold did not prevent the snow from melting on the trees, and a canopy of snow fell and smashed on his hair, and the cold slid into his clothes. Xiao Chu was just about to exclaim, but someone slapped her on the back again, scaring her exclamation back into her stomach. Chun Zhen stood behind him, and whispered to Jia'er Niang, "You still dare to stand here?" If she knew you, she would have come up and beat you up a long time ago. ”

Chu Youyi couldn't listen to Jia'er's mother's wordiness, and was asking people to pull her away: "Give it to the second master." The two family members dragged Jia'er Niang away, Xiao Chu couldn't get enough of it, and asked Chunji: "She didn't come to me, did she?" "It's very reasonable to listen to the words, and the words are as long as they are chunhong.

Chun Scar snorted in his nose and said with a joke: "If you don't believe it, try to report her name in front of her, this is a famous Spicy person in the family." Chunhong and the housekeeper dare to find her, but she is afraid that you will not succeed. Xiao Chu thought it was right, and went back to the room with Chunji. After thinking about it, he was afraid to come up, so he asked Chunji, "Where are you going?" ”

Chunji, who was holding something in his hand, said: "Childe wants to eat a vegetarian stuffed steamed bun temporarily, let me run in the kitchen." The kitchen guy asked me to give this to Childe. Chunji was holding something like a ledger. Xiao Chu said curiously: "What is this, can I take a look?" Chunji hesitated for a moment before giving it to her: "Do you know how to read?" You understand, don't talk nonsense. ”

Xiao Chu took it in his hand and looked at it, it was full of recipes, yam cake, jujube paste and poria cake...... Looking at the following dishes, deer fetal suckling sheep, etc., Lin Xiaochu suddenly understood that this should be the diet that Old Madam Chu uses every day. No matter how extravagant the ancients were, young people didn't use things like deer fetal suckling sheep, for fear of losing their lives. Childe look at this? Lin Xiaochu returned the account book to Chunji, and only guessed that Chu Huaixian was honoring Mrs. Chu.

Walking more than ten steps away from the courtyard gate, Xiao Chu stopped Chunji, and said in a deliberative tone: "You see that I have a treat tomorrow, how about I say to my son?" Chunji said puzzledly: "Of course you have to say something to Childe, oh, you want to invite Childe to come too, right?" Xiao Chu nodded, it's better to please the son in this house, anyway, don't add vegetables. Besides, please invite everyone in the room, the son will not know that Xiao Chu is a person from many families in Ning Shaoyi Village, and he may not come to invite the son, or he does not need to add vegetables.

Chunji came up with a good idea: "The son will not sit with the girl's mother-in-law, and it will be easy for you to please you." If Ming'er Gongzi is at home, you only need to boil a pot of wine and send it, and then send four plates of fruit. Childe loves elegance, the plate does not need to be big, just a three-inch white porcelain plate. The amount of Gongzi is large, you spend some money on wine, and the Jinhua wine you can get your hands on is only one or two silver jars, and most of the people in our yard love to eat wine. ”

This idea is really good, Xiao Chu has heard and liked it, and he said to Chunji: "Thank you sister for teaching me, please eat a few more cups tomorrow." "Chun Zhen is a smooth donkey, and people like her when they praise her. I want to talk about it: "Sister Chunhong has hated you, her parents are housekeepers in the end, you can toast her a few cups tomorrow, and untie this festival....."

Xiao Chu listened with a smile, and the snow was melting outside. People who talk endlessly and listen attentively don't feel cold, Chunji said all the habits of everyone in the room, licked his little red lips happily and said, "That's all, do you remember?" Xiao Chu smiled: "I'll try to remember it, I forgot it when the time comes, please mention me more." ”

The two of them came into the courtyard at this time, and Chun Zhen went back to Chu Huaixian's words. Waiting for the spring marks to come out, Xiao Chu came in. There was a bookcase by the window, and the shelves were full of books, and Chu Huaixian sat next to the book without raising his head. Xiao Chu saluted, and Chu Huaixian raised his eyes: "What's the matter?" ”

"I came here to be taken care of by my son and my sisters and sisters and mothers in the room, and I will invite my son and everyone to sit down at noon tomorrow, and invite my son to enjoy the light." Xiao Chu said that Chu Huaixian's smile grew stronger, and he was taken care of more? Lin Xiaochu can say such things in his mouth, Chu Huaixian likes to listen to it very much. He thought that there would be nothing to do tomorrow, and said happily at the moment: "Playing once by chance also makes the New Year hard." Ming'er, I'll disturb you with three glasses of wine, even if I go. ”

Chu Huaixian spoke so politely to a girl, and Lin Xiaochu was even more respectful. Respectfully, Chu Huaixian called Chun Zhen to come in: "Go out and tell Jin Xi'er that Xiao Hou Ye gave me a few jars of wine that haven't been used up yet, let him move one jar in." When the spring mark went out, Xiao Chu smiled and thanked him, and Chu Huaixian smiled: "It's not that your wine is bad, it's ready-made." ”

Xiao Chu pretended to blush: "Since the beginning of selling flowers, I have owed Gongzi something, and it is not clear until today." Chu Huaixian laughed, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "What about the things made for me, Ming'er is drunk, and he has to give it to me a day later." Lin Xiaochu looked hurried: "I'll go now." And by these words he went out, and called all the people in the room. There are people who are not there to go home or rest at night, and they have asked someone else to help them. Everyone said it was coming.

At noon the next day, Dong Ran asked the mother-in-law to carry out two large round tabletops and put them in the lower room, and everyone sat at a table. Chu Huaixian sat in the room, Xiao Chu and Xiao Yi sent hot wine and fruits, Chu Huaixian asked them to go by themselves: "I'll pour the fun myself, I don't need you here." He held a favorite scroll of poetry in his hand and a jade cup in his hand, and enjoyed himself alone.

When I went out, I told my sister: "You just have to eat when you entertain people, and I come to see what my son wants from time to time." Xiao Chu stroked Xiaoyi's head and said, "Don't be hungry, just don't eat wine." Xiao Yi nodded in agreement, and the sister returned to the table. Pouring the first glass of wine, Xiao Chu gave Chunhong first, and smiled very kindly: "Sister Chunhong, please use a glass of water and wine." ”
