On the small table carved with red lacquer, there was a fragrant dinner, and Xiao Chu looked at a bowl of tender cucumber ham and egg soup, which appeared from time to time was Mrs. Wen and a pile of scattered rice.

"What's the fuss?" Chu Huaixian knocked on Xiao Chu's hand with the chopsticks in his hand, Xiao Chu woke up, looked at him, lowered his head and took a sip of soup, there was no heat at all.

Chu Huaixian happened to be asking, "Is it cool?" Xiao Chu took another sip before replying: "It's cold," Chu Huaixian put down his chopsticks and said to the waiter in front of the couch: "Change the bowl." Xiao Chu stared at him, covered the bowl in his hand with both hands, and stubbornly said: "You don't need to change it, this can be drunk." ”

"You're still sick," Chu Huaixian suddenly remembered, "You went out in the morning, right?" Xiao Chu smiled: "I'm out, but I'll talk about it after I've eaten." Thinking of Mrs. Lin's tearful face, Xiao Chu couldn't eat it.

Seeing that the girl came to change the soup, Xiao Chu came up again: "No need to change!" There are still people who haven't eaten. The girl was embarrassed, Chu Huaixian said idly: "You don't have to mention it to me if you haven't eaten, you should change this bowl of soup." If you're not well, don't yell at me about headaches and brain fever. ”

Xiao Chu said: "I don't yell at you, and I don't change this bowl of soup, it's not good, and it's not that you can't drink it." Pick up a piece of cucumber with chopsticks and ask Chu Huaixian: "It's only February, how much is a cucumber, you definitely don't know." Chu Huaixian's face was ignorant: "I don't know anything, I know that if you get cold again, I will be unkind to you." ”

"Go and be polite to the wind outside," Xiao Chu couldn't help laughing: "I can't be better at being cruel to me, if you let the wind outside not blow, I won't get cold." ”

Chu Huaixian stretched out his hand: "Give me this soup to drink, okay, you are so worried about the country and the people, when will you be commended?" Xiao Chu leisurely: "When will you report to me?" ”

The two of them grinned at each other and ate separately.

The next day, Gong Miaoer invited Xiao Chu to come out and take her to see the house. On the way, he kept talking: "March 3 is everywhere in spring, can you help or not?" Xiao Chu laughed at him: "If I don't help, you won't be able to get business?" Gong Miaoer wanted to scold: "Look at the hairpin on your head, you are not short of money, right?" ”

The house I went to see was a floor facing the street, and there was a residence in the back, and there were four or five people following the house economy. Gong Miao'er asked her to look at it first: "Go in and see it." ”

The front two floors of the wooden floor are sturdy and sturdy, and it looks like it has weathered the storm. Looking at the back, the garden is not too big, and it is a little clumsy. Xiao Chu frowned at the high-rise buildings on both sides: "Block the sun, block the wind and rain, block the wind and water," in short, everything is blocked. Gong Miao'er muttered: "After this village, there is no such shop, this garden has not been cleaned up, so it is only four thousand six hundred taels of silver, and I will clean it up myself, I will clean it up, and I will charge you half at most." ”

"Collect half of it, don't you give a cent?" Xiao Chu also muttered to herself, turned her head to look at the peach and apricot tree in the weeds, Gong Miao'er and her back were facing each other, and she turned sideways to look at the weeds on the other side: "Then let's do it." ”

The accompanying economy couldn't figure out what they were talking about, and when he saw these two people looking at each other, he was busy talking to two people: "This is the old garden, that's why it's so cheap, you look at the businessmen on both sides, how convenient it is to ask for a wine and food." Xiao Chu read it carefully, but he was still dissatisfied with both sides: "Both sides are either noisy and drunk, or they don't make people quiet, they can just tear it down." ”

The economy was taken aback: "This grandma is really cool to speak, if it is someone else's house, you can let them move out with a few extra money, anyway, the business is not particularly prosperous, and there are not a few people in a day." Gong Miao'er laughed: "There are antique shops on both sides, and it is impossible to come like a small restaurant in a day." ”

Xiao Chu listened to him talking interestingly, and said with a smile: "Whose family is this?" The economy hasn't spoken yet, Gong Miao'er coughed and coughed, Xiao Chu looked at him, and the economy said: "On this side is the Zheng family's antique shop and restaurant, and on this side is the Qian family's restaurant." Xiao Chu didn't ask anymore, and Gong Miao'er, who had finished coughing, asked more: "Which Zheng family?" Xiao Chu glared at him, needless to say so understanding.

After seeing this house, Gong Miaoer invited Xiao Chu to come to the house first, Tao'er made tea, and the two of them sat at the wooden table in the courtyard and said: "What you said is less than four thousand taels of silver, it is good and clever, and this one is the most suitable." ”

Xiao Chu said bluntly: "I only have more than three thousand taels," Gong Miao'er opened her mouth exaggeratedly: "If you don't have money, you ask me to help you see?" Xiao Chu retorted: "I told you that it was less than four thousand taels, how did you show me, all of them were more than four thousand taels." Gong Miao'er smiled evilly: "Cousin, no matter what you do, I will join forces with you." A pat on the chest: "Cousin help you." ”

"I'm a relative to Tao'er, nothing to do with you," Xiao Chu rolled his eyes at Gong Miao'er, and then shouted loudly: "Tao'er Tao'er, when you get married, your eyes should be brighter." Momo poked her head out of the kitchen and grinned, then retracted again.

In fact, Xiao Chu liked the house very much: "Let's put it first, maybe let their family wait for me." Gong Miao'er couldn't help it: "I'll lend it all to you," Xiao Chu didn't do it: "I just don't want to partner with anyone again." Gong Miao'er sneered: "The sparrow becomes a phoenix, and you won't recognize people if you put feathers into it." ”

The matter of the re-partnership of the house, the two of them collapsed. Xiao Chu was stunned for a while, and asked Gong Miao'er: "There is something difficult for me, you can help me get an idea." Gong Miao'er raised her head: "No matter what it is, it's always right to ask your cousin." Xiao Chu shut up: "I won't ask." ”

It wasn't until Tao'er came out to change the tea that Tao'er asked Xiao Chu: "What's the difficulty?" Xiao Chu turned to ask Tao'er: "There is something wronged, I don't know if I should help her speak." Gong Miao'er sneered beside her: "I was also wronged." Xiao Chu turned around suddenly: "Aren't you wronged by King Liang?" ”

As the words spoke, the three of them did not speak together. Xiao Chu whispered again: "What are you wronged? Gong Miao'er counted it to Xiao Chu one by one: "On March 3, how can you pick up the princess's driving tour in the garden, can you find this account?" There are ......" Lin Xiaochu said: "You stop!" It's none of my business. ”

"And what are you talking about?" Tao'er is concerned: "Our family has been wronged for a long time, and when I hear this kind of thing, I hope you can help me." ”

Xiao Chu frowned, looked at Gong Miao'er who was looking east and west, and then said to Tao'er: "So I came to ask you, I can't make up my mind, I don't know if it's a big deal." ”

"Thank you for having less money, right?" Gong Miao'er said cool words.

Xiao Chu glared angrily: "No, I don't have a penny!" ”

"Then you don't want to be human?" Gong Miaoer continued to be sarcastic.

Xiao Chu looked at him: "What favor do you use to repay me?" Buckle the little idea? ”

Only Tao'er spoke seriously: "What is wrong?" Xiao Chu smiled: "I don't know yet." Gong Miao'er scoffed: "The sparrow has become a phoenix, you have to be careful in everything." There are a lot of kidnappers and scammers on the street, and there are many people who cheat a bag of silver with a bag of tears. ”

Xiao Chu sighed: "Yes, I think so too." Gong Miao'er began to look angry: "I'm talking to myself, which one is talking to you!" ”

Lin Xiaochu was completely annoyed, and began to wow at Gong Miao'er: "I can't figure out whether she is wronged or not, if I can figure it out, I can decide whether to help or not." Gong Miao'er said slyly: "Can this matter stump you?" Lin Xiaochu collapsed: "I'm afraid that it's not worth it when I'm done, and I'm going to be laughed at." Gong Miao'er stomped up: "I won't laugh at you, just think of it as your handle in the future, except for me, by the way, there is also a son who wants to laugh at you." Xiao Chu was listless: "It's him." ”

Mrs. Chu Shao, who was born in poverty, was taken down by the half of the bag of rice that Mrs. Wen fell.

came back early, and Xiao Chu went to Chu Huaixian's study. Chu Huaixian's face was not too happy: "Gone out again?" Is it good to go to someone else's house every day? ”

Xiao Chu leaned over his bookcase, flipped through a pile of official documents, and then went through another pile. Chu Huaixian just watched: "Who to be a spy?" Xiao Chu smiled sweetly: "I'll take a look at it." Chu Huaixian stopped and hugged Xiao Chu in his arms: "Don't flip around, what do you want to ask, you ask me." Xiao Chu had already picked up an official document in his hand, picked it up and asked Chu Huaixian: "What kind of official document is this?" Chu Huaixian was very simple: "Kumon." ”

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Chu put it down. Thinking of Chu Huaixian's question just now, he smiled at him and said, "I am tired by you, I won't go out more." Chu Huaixian said: "Thank God, don't go out, how tired I am for you, you can thank me well." Xiao Chu stroked the buckle on Chu Huaixian's clothes, a little faintly: "Beat the woman so hard, why am I embarrassed to go?" ”

Chu Huaixian stroked Xiao Chu's fingers and didn't speak. Xiao Chu raised his eyes and asked him, "Don't admit that you confessed?" Chu Huaixian said: "Admit it, how can you not admit it, it's the punishment I confessed." He smiled wickedly and said slowly, "Do you know what punishments are in the yamen?" Xiao Chu was still quiet: "Just play with them for me?" That's it? ”

"It's not." Chu Huaixian kissed Xiao Chu's finger, put it to his lips and gnawed it gently: "It was Teacher Fang who asked me to do it." Xiao Chu put his arms around Chu Huaixian's head and neck, and said sullenly: "Others can let you do this and that, I can't say anything serious, and I can't tell a joke." ”

When he came back from the study, Xiao Chu asked everyone to go out, opened his suitcase in the room alone, and took out an official document from it, which was the official document of Lord Wen's appeal. Xiao Chu has read all the traditional Chinese characters above, but the format is right, she didn't count it in her heart. After reading it from the study, Xiao Chu stared at the official document in a daze again: "The person who wants to come to him as an official should not be mistaken." ”

Regardless of whether it is wrong or not, Mrs. Chu Shao's mind for a few grains of broken rice will not be recovered.

After putting the official document back away, Mrs. Chu went to look at the newly issued peony seedlings under the window.

After waiting for a day, I went to the study in the morning and in the afternoon, Chu Huaixian was there, and teased: "You think of me so much? Xiao Chu said a few words to him and went out. When he came to the study two days later, Chu Huaixian finally went out. Xiao Chu said to Jin Xi'er to find a book, sent Jin Xi'er away, opened the official document on the bookcase, and put the one in his arms.

After putting it in, my heart is still pounding. When she came to Jinxi'er, she gave her a book of ghosts and foxes that Xiao Chu wanted, and then teased: "You can read books now, do you read books in the next field." "Xiao Chu just did something, and he didn't have time to joke with him, so he just took the book and left.

When Chu Huaixian came back in the evening, he didn't look like anything unusual, and he laughed with Xiao Chu for a while, and didn't say anything until he went to sleep. The next day, Mrs. Guan was in a hurry and came to wait for the letter. Xiao Chu said honestly: "I gave the official document to Gongzi, what is he going to do, I don't know." "Young Mrs. Chu dropped a small spear here, she gave it, but she didn't give it to Chu Huaixian in person. Why don't you tell a lie and not have a face-to-face relationship? Of course, it's because the official's wife will laugh at herself, and the eldest prince of Chu is afraid that he will find his own business. How did that official letter appear on the bookcase now, Xiao Chu thought to himself outside the window, I don't know, I don't know anything.
