The north wind is tighter at night and colder. In the second half of the night, the cold was heavy, Xiao Chu couldn't sleep and woke up, saw that there was wind on his shoulder, and pulled the quilt. Chu Huaixian also moved, hugged Xiao Chu in his arms, and continued to sleep. Xiao Chu leaned on this warmth, and he missed Zhu Niang even more.

No one would understand Xiao Chu's mood, and of course Chu Huaixian didn't understand it. Xiao Chu listened to the whirring wind outside the room, and leaned down in Chu Huaixian's arms.

The next day, Xiao Chu called for spring water to soothe him, and when spring water came, he gritted his teeth: "In the future, young lady, you will not go out." "Xiao Chu lost another wing that was not a wing under this feudal system.

Thirty years old until morning, get up early to worship ancestors. Chu Huaixian did not forget to explain to Xiao Chu before going out: "Don't be wrong. Lin Xiaochu was very well-behaved: "I know." The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, and Chu Huaixian quipped: "It's been more flattering lately." Xiao Chu smiled sweetly, and Chu Huaixian said again: "Don't expect me to help you speak." "Xiao Chu bared his teeth, and he was hard-hearted.

The ancestral tablet is for the people of the capital, and the black pressure has long stood for a clan. Xiao Chu tugged at Chu Huaixian's sleeve: "Brother Yu is also there." Chu Huaixian said: "Of course." Xiao Chu said in a low voice: "Hug me for a while." The voice was as low as a flower flying in the snow under the eaves. Chu Huaixian didn't know if he heard it, so he didn't reply and walked forward.

Not only Brother Yu is here, but Brother Liang is also there. Old Madam Chu was in good spirits and led a group of people in, and stood in two shifts, men and women. Plate by plate to pass the sacrificial things inside. The relatives could see clearly that Mrs. Chu was also among them, and Mrs. Chu greeted her: "Come with me." The things placed were passed from Lin Xiaochu's hands to Mrs. Chu's hands, and then to Mrs. Chu's hands. On the other side, it was Chu Huaixian who took it and handed it to his father.

Mrs. Chu Shao was sick and gave birth to a child this year, and her relatives and friends almost didn't see her, but on an occasion like today, she still came out.

After the sacrifices were placed, Chu Huaixian took Brother Yu from the nurse's arms, walked up to Xiao Chu and handed it to her: "Don't cry." "If it were usual, Xiao Chu would definitely be a white-eyed person, and at this time he was overjoyed, and nodded again and again to receive it in his arms. Brother Yu, who was fat and heavy, yawned and rolled his eyes when he changed his arms, and then stopped talking as if he wanted to sleep or not.

Holding Brother Yu and kowtowing with everyone, Xiao Chu was reluctant to return it, and when he saw Chu Huaixian walking in front of him, he reluctantly returned it to him. Only then can the relatives remember that the eldest grandson of the long house wrapped in a small brocade jacket with purple flowers was born from this one. Almost, everyone has to forget about Mrs. Chu completely.

When Xiao Chu returned to the room, he was not grateful to Chu Huaixian, but was greatly stammered. Chu Huaixian leaned on the couch and shouted tired: "The New Year is tiring." Looking at Xiao Chu chattering beside him, I felt very enjoyable. Lin Xiaochu stammered for several days, and began to please him in the days before the Chinese New Year.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Chu Huaixian was entertaining guests in the hall during the day, and there were many people who came to eat New Year's wine. Xiao Chu and the girls were grabbing children in the room, and a girl outside came in and stood next to him and looked at it with a smile, this is a person who will go to Qin Ji's shop to buy things. Xiao Chu pretended to scatter, let the girls play, came out by herself, and listened to the girl whisper: "Qin Niangzi said, that person is dying." "Xiao Chu's heart jumped suddenly, and this rushed up. Forced himself to suppress and said, "I know." He took out the broken silver from his sleeve and rewarded her, and hastened back to his room.

Come back and push and don't play, just sit and think about ideas. The girls have never been afraid of her, and when it is the New Year, they play by themselves. Xiao Chu couldn't make up his mind, and finally his heart was crossed, and he called out Lin Xiaoyi, who was playing: "Go out for a walk with me." "If you have little intentions, you don't want others to accompany you. Pulling Xiaoyi out of the second door, standing still in a place with few people, he told Xiaoyi about the matter, and please: "Go find Sun Erhai and press him to drive out." You are better than me, Miss Zhuang can pick you up, and Xiangzhi has taken you to several places, all of which have said that they will pick you up for New Year's wine. The person on the door doesn't know, you send me out, and someone asks and says I'll send you, and you come back from the corner gate and help me cover. ”

Xiaoyi also agreed after hearing it, and he didn't worry about him before going to Sun Erhai: "Sister, can you press him?" Xiao Chu said: "Okay." Seeing Xiao Yi's figure running away, he laughed at himself, Xiao Yi also knew that his sister couldn't suppress people at home.

The New Year was scattered, Sun Erhai bought a few corners of wine, and invited Duofu and Duoshou to eat wine secretly. was found by Xiaoyi and didn't like it, and asked Mrs. Chu: "Can you go out?" The last time I went out randomly, I was scolded by my son. Xiao Chu was moved by affection, and told Zhu Niang about it, and there were tears in his eyes: "You are the most righteous person, if your friend is like this, will you think that he has no identity and ignore him?" ”

Loyalty? Sun Erhai blinked his eyes. Xiao Chu continued: "It's righteousness! The people who came out of us don't talk about morality at all? ”

The jade-colored and splendid Mrs. Chu Shao was in her own family's good house, and she was angry with the slaves. Sun Erhai touched his chin and thought, "Why do I think it's so funny?" Like, it's a little touching. Then I ask you, if I ask someone to help me one day, do you still have this righteousness? ”

"Of course there is, gentleman's words," Xiao Chu hurriedly promised, and Sun Erhai weighed it: "Okay, anyway, I'm here, and I'm not a powerful minion." The moon silver plus the reward is a lot, but the little hairy children in front of me don't allow me to go up, son and you, I have to serve one. It's you, at least you can do it. Sun Erhai also had a heart, the villagers fought for her: "The son wants to drive me away, and it's all up to you." If you beat or scold or something, you don't have to stop me, I have thick skin and thick meat, and I am stronger than you. Xiao Chu smiled and took the initiative to shout for the first time: "Uncle Erhai, with me, don't worry." ”

Sun Erhai slanted his eyes at Xiao Chu's thin body, what about you? You are so capable, why don't you convince Childe yourself. Sun Erhai made up his mind, and said with a big grin: "Then let's chase the horses, you stop for half an hour and come out, wait for me to pour a few more glasses of wine for those two, and find a good reason to come out." Xiao Chu said happily: "Okay." ”

In the past, there were too many doors in the homes of rich people. The corner of the gate was indistinguishable, and the New Year's people came and went, Mrs. Chu went out of the door easily, and Sun Erhai rushed to pick up the fragrance first.

As soon as Fang Xiang saw Xiao Chu, she said anxiously: "Zhu Niang, it passed twice yesterday." Mrs. Liang stopped me from the door, but I said that she was Zhu Niang's direct cousin, so she had nothing to say. "Aroma has also cried, and her eyes are swollen like peaches. Xiao Chu asked Sun Erhai to park in the snow: "Then it's useless for me to go, they didn't add a brazier to Zhu Niang?" Fang Xiang said: "No! I bought the silver you gave and sent it, and they won't let me in the next time I go, but I came back and brought two guys who said they were cousins, and I had to sue them for the dead, so I could get in, and it was still the cold room last time, no one took care of medicine, and no one cared about eating and drinking. ”

Sun Erhai couldn't bear to hear it, he was in a foreign land, and he also felt lonely. At this time, I listened to it and sympathized even more. also urged Xiao Chu to say: "If you want to save people, save them to the end, don't be unhappy piecemeal." The righteous anger on the rivers and lakes sent the Buddha to the west sky. Xiao Chu immediately decided: "I have an idea, you go to Gong's house first." ”

Gong Miao'er fortunately didn't go out at home, and Xiao Chu came in through the back door. Tao'er, who opened the door, said happily: "The young lady is here." Xiao Chu had already rushed in, Gong Miao'er came out of the room, the two of them looked at each other, Gong Miao'er sneered and hugged her arms: "Young Mrs. Chu, you stepped on the cheap ground and went to the wrong place, right?" Xiao Chuyi waved his hand: "I don't have time to talk to you, how many guys do you have now?" Be big-shouldered, round-waisted, strong, and courageous. ”

"What are you doing?" Gong Miao'er didn't lose her temper anymore. Xiao Chu was aggressive: "Don't ask!" How many are there? Gong Miao'er said: "There are seven or eight, haven't you seen it from the front?" Xiao Chu is still so fierce: "I didn't pay attention to the number, you set the car, let these seven or eight guys get in the car together, and each person will pay ten taels of silver." When he came, he brought money, counted the silver tickets from his sleeve, and stuffed them into Gong Miao'er's hand: "One hundred taels, twenty taels are yours, don't look for it, hurry up and set the car." ”

Gong Miao'er didn't understand the silver ticket in her hand: "I said what happened to you?" Xiao Chu crossed his waist and looked angrily: "Go quickly!" This tone urged Gong Miao'er, and he said as he walked: "You have to add my money, I can't run for twenty taels a trip." Guys, ten taels a piece, I have a hundred taels. ”

After all, run fast. After a while, the car cover is good, and the person is looking for it. Tao'er smiled and beckoned at the door: "I'll watch the door, and I'll come back for dinner in a while." Gong Miao'er, who was in a daze, drove the car, and took seven or eight of her men to follow Xiao Chu's car, until it stopped not far from the door of Liang's house.

Sun Erhai already understood, thinking that this was very lively. He smiled and didn't speak. Xiao Chu came over and asked Gong Miaoer with a solemn face: "Are you bold?" Gong Miao'er said: "I'm bold when I understand, and I'm timid when I don't understand." Xiao Chu said: "Okay! You follow me in and snatch someone out of it. ”

Gong Miao'er couldn't believe her ears: "What did you say?" .......Seeing that Mrs. Chu's meaning was true, Gong Miao'er looked left and right: "Which street is this, I can tell you, the nearest yamen is the Terracotta Division, and there is only one street away from here." ”

Xiao Chu only stared at Gong Miao'er's eyes seriously: "Do you have the righteousness of the rivers and lakes?" Gong Miaoer said: "I want to say that I don't have it in this matter." Xiao Chu said seriously: "Your good friend is about to die, will you save him from fire and water?" Gong Miao'er gradually understood, and in the face of Xiao Chu's momentum, she whispered: "The trouble of water and fire should be kept away." Lin Xiaochu glared at Gong Miao'er, and pointed at the seven or eight guys with his hand: "Your guys are watching you here, let them see you, where is your righteousness in the rivers and lakes!" ”

Gong Miao'er looked at her buddies, and suddenly laughed: "Guys, this Chinese New Year, my righteous qi is at the bottom of the box." Whoever wants to see it, come and see it after the first month. Then he said to Sun Erhai: "Yes, old Sun, righteousness is not enough to withstand the cold, not to be hungry, it is better to have a thick cotton jacket." ”

"Gong Miao'er!" Lin Xiaochu couldn't bear it, Gong Miao'er hurriedly said, "You say." Lin Xiaochu said word by word: "Do you want the palace to worship?" Gong Miao'er's spirit came, and she tightened her belt: "I listen to these words, do you have it?" Lin Xiaochu smiled: "I don't have it, at least I can help you say something, since you are not righteous, I will ask for a short-term worker on the street, ten taels of silver each, someone will always do it." Stretched out his hand: "The silver will be returned to me, and if you can't do it, you will take the job, and then pay five hundred taels of silver." Then he laughed wickedly: "One day, someone in the palace asks you, I will make a little bad." ”

Gong Miao'er shouted: "Hey, you are a big, this can't be done, the business has come first, I took the order first, this job is mine." Xiao Chupi didn't smile: "Order silver? It is the full amount. Gong Miao'er also became serious: "Ugly words ahead, the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses Division is two streets away from here, do you have something to bear?" Do you have everything you need to eat and drink in this prison? This great punishment in the court, you bear? Xiao Chu hugged his arms and stilted his toes under the skirt in the snow: "I'll bear it!" ”

"Although this will be doubtful, but, alas," Gong Miao'er sighed and waved her arms, "Guys, let's go." "A few big men, ready to go straight to the gate of the Liang family.
