Chu Huaixian calmed down, sat down beside Xiao Chu, stretched out his hand to lift Xiao Chu to sit on his lap, put his hand on the back of Xiao Chu's neck, and looked deeply at her face.

The spring water is outside, and he quickly retreats and can't come in. Xiao Chu was furious, and forced a smile: "What's wrong?" Chu Huaixian opened his mouth and said softly: "Do you want to use the money?" Xiao Chu didn't expect such a sentence, not without surprise. Chu Huaixian slowly stroked her hair, and was even more gentle: "You haven't gone out recently?" Is there money owed to someone outside? Xiao Chu suddenly felt comforted, and fell into Chu Huaixian's arms and said, "No." ”

"If you owe someone money, remember to come back and tell me." Chu Huaixian said. Xiao Chu smiled: "What's wrong with you, you're so good today." Listening to the sound of his heartbeat, Xiao Chu listened closely, and then looked at Chu Huaixian's face: "Why is it so good today?" Xiao Chu was very skeptical.

Chu Huaixian didn't tell her: "It's nothing, you remember my words, if you owe money outside, you have to tell me when you come back that day." Xiao Chu agreed, but she still felt that Chu Huaixian was strange, and she asked leisurely: "I don't owe anyone money, can I ask for you?" Chu Huaixian said: "Then you will be stupid." Xiao Chu was stunned, Chu Huaixian looked into the room: "You won't look for it here." Xiao Chu was not happy: "I'm not stupid, how can I turn things over?" ”

"Yes, I married a poor girl, and I want to use you as a thief." Chu Huaixian chuckled, Lin Xiaochu wrinkled his nose, also looked around the room, and said to himself, "Where will this be?" Chu Huaixian gently stroked Xiao Chu's hair, and once again said earnestly: "If there is anything, remember to tell me quickly, don't drag it out." ”

Under this sudden goodness, Xiao Chu raised his head, and his eyes were still full of questions. Mrs. Chu also used the coquettishness, and said coquettishly: "What's wrong?" If there's anything, you have to tell me quickly, you know, I'm worried about you, too. ”

How to tell her? Chu Huaixian thought of the struggle of the second young lady of the Fang family, the rope became tighter and tighter, and she was forcibly sent away, no! To be precise, he was dragged away, his eyes that were more crystal clear because of despair, there were tears in his eyes, and he just looked at Fang Ergongzi deadly. Although there are no words, they are better than a shout.

And the second son of Fang was choked and crying. It was the first time Chu Huaixian had seen a man crying like this. But whose fault is this sadness?

His hand stroking Xiao Chu's hair was heavy, and he said with a straight face: "If you let me know that you owe money to someone outside, you haven't told me yet, you just wait!" Chu Huaixian was very serious: "If you think about it, I won't be polite." Xiao Chu, who didn't know what was going on, pouted: "I don't owe anyone money outside, if someone says I owe, pull her over and confront her face to face, hum!" It's too early for you to lie to me. ”

Chu Huaixian smiled: "Yes, yes," leaned over and kissed Xiao Chu on the cheek, "That's good." Put Xiao Chu down: "I have to go to see my father and talk back, and stay by myself for a while." Xiao Chu didn't let him go, and was said a few words for no reason, Lin Xiaochu leaned on Chu Huaixian and smiled at him: "Let me ask you, if I owe someone money, what are you going to do?" ”

"Me," Chu Huaixian put his hand on the back of Xiao Chu's neck, and Xiao Chu was about to beat him: "Let go, light, your neck is about to break." Chu Huaixian approached Xiao Chu's ear, first took a small bite, and then said, "You'll know when the time comes." The hand was put down and patted on Xiao Chu's buttocks: "Go away, I'm going out." Xiao Chu rubbed it again, and said nonsense: "I owe money to tell you, can you help me pay it back?" Chu Huaixian smiled at her: "That's right, I'm helping you pay it back." I'll finish you first, and then I'll help you pay it back. "I won't get to the point where Second Prince Fang is.

Xiao Chu's temper also came up, and he followed him without losing it: "What about you?" If you owe money in the future and need me to pay it back to you, I will roll up my sleeves and wait for you. Chu Huaixian stopped, glanced around the room, and then scolded with a smile: "Stupid." Then in Xiao Chu's frowning eyebrows and grimacing, he went out.

After he left, Xiao Chu first looked at the Baibao Pavilion and the sandalwood frame one by one, sat there with his hands folded and muttered to himself: "Where is it?" Come out quickly. Chunshui came in and said busily: "I'll wash my hands and light incense before I can worship the Buddha." Xiao Chu was amused and said happily: "Go, go quickly." ”

Chunshui really went to wash her hands and light incense, she thought that Xiao Chu was worshipping Buddha. The fragrance was good, and Mrs. Chu began to rummage around in the room. Chunshui was puzzled again: "What are you looking for to ask me?" Xiao Chu clapped his hands: "Yes, it's best to ask you." The eyes looked at the table and the table: "Look in this room, where can you put such a long and wide thing, such a thin one?" ”

Xiao Chu compared the silver ticket.

Chunshui smiled when he saw it: "Such a long, such wide, thin thing can be put everywhere." What do you want to hide, young lady? Xiao Chu flattened his mouth: "It's me who is looking for something." ”

The master and servant began to flip through their hands, and after a few flips, Xiao Chu found it himself. Removing a black and ordinary wooden box from the bookshelf of golden silk nanmu, Mrs. Chu sighed at it: "Stupid, alas, it's right in front of you. "And I see it every day. Mrs. Chu Shao is a poor girl and has a good character, that is, Chu Huaixian does not say that this thing belongs to Xiao Chu, and Xiao Chu rarely touches it.

Let the spring water go out, Xiao Chu opened the box, and inside was a half-box silver ticket. I flipped through it casually, and Zhang Zhang was one hundred taels. Mrs. Chu was a little stunned, and then understood, my house, this is rich. Pour it out and count it, fifty in all. Mrs. Chu put it back away, and the first thing she did was to enter the room and change out of the clothes.

Of course, I went to Gong's house, and only Tao'er was there. After hearing the intention of Mrs. Chu, Tao'er pretended to be casual: "That house, ha, maybe, ha, ha, should, ha, no." Xiao Chu said to Tao'er: "Ha, you are, ha, what, ha, meaning?" Gong Miao'er came back from outside and heard Tao'er confessing: "My son-in-law is angry with you and says that you left him down to do other business, so he is testing whether you have any money." Gong Miao'er quickly stopped, hid her body, Tao'er, this girl, poured beans from the bamboo tube and said it all.

"He tested me if I had any money?" Xiao Chu reacted suddenly, and his apricot eyes widened: "How does he know that I have no money, and he did it?" Hehe," Xiao Chu sneered, and changed to a sitting posture with a big Malaysian golden knife: "I'm waiting for him here today, hmph, return my money!" ”

Tao'er quickly distinguished: "It's not him, he just didn't come back all night, and when he came back in the morning, he told me that your business was burned." "Gong Miao'er wants to stomp her feet, is that what she said? At this time, it was useless to explain in the past, Gong Miaoer thought to herself, it was better to hide outside. Just as he was about to quietly retreat, a dozen door curtains from the front of the village steward came from the front, and he could see it clearly from this angle, and said: "The shopkeeper is back, great, there is something ....... something."

Young Mrs. Chu rushed over like a gust of wind and sneered at Gong Miao'er: "You're back, just right!" Gong Miao'er saw that she couldn't hide, so she hurriedly laughed: "Ha, hello, Mrs. Chu." Mrs. Chu snorted heavily: "I'm not good!" How can I be good with you! Then he pointed at Gong Miao'er: "Let's go, go with me to see Gongzi," Xiao Chu was also cunning in anger: "I won't pull you to see the official, just go to our house to see my husband." ”

"Young lady, tell me something, and I'll persuade you." Although the steward of Zhuang did not understand, he also came up to persuade him when he saw this situation. Gong Miao'er spread out her hand and said to the steward of Zhuang: "Don't persuade me, I'll go with her." He made a gesture of inviting Xiao Chu out: "Young lady, let's go now." ”

Xiao Chu stood there without moving, just sneering. Gong Miao'er was proud: "You fooled me? It's early. I've seen more people than you, and you've seen inexperienced teenage hairy kids who just debuted can win the old rivers and lakes. You don't know about the herbal medicine business, right? ”

The situation reversed, Gong Miao'er had the upper hand, he clapped his hands and sat down leisurely, poured himself a pot of tea, and squinted at Xiao Chu: "Is it burning?" Burn well? The steward of Zhuang also understood, and he interjected in a hurry: "This matter has nothing to do with the shopkeeper, he really didn't burn it, I testify." ”

"You testify?" Xiao Chu seized the loophole, turned around and asked Steward Zhuang: "What testimony did you give?" Are you there? How else would you testify? Oh, by the way, there must be a few accomplices. Steward Zhuang stepped back, took a step back and said, "Young Mrs. Chu, you are so clever, you can't use it indiscriminately." "But just one word, and I ended up trapping myself.

Xiao Chu pointed to the Zhuang manager: "You are not allowed to go." Standing in the courtyard, under the spring breeze, Xiao Chu felt that he understood, and asked the steward of Zhuang: "Where were you on the night the boat was burned?" To be honest, otherwise, you can find out. The steward said: "I am not at home every night, you ask me a woman, I am not at home every day." It's right not to be at home, it's not right to be at home. Xiao Chu sneered: "Then where did you go?" ”

Steward Zhuang was in a hurry, and burst out with a sentence: "Tongcuilou, I went to the yard." Gong Miao'er laughed, and pointed at Xiao Chu with her hand: "Young lady, you can really do it!" "The village steward of a good old man was forced to say that he went to prostitution.

"Who's calling? Just go and stay until the night, and you're going to burn the ship again, right? Xiao Qianqian pressed tightly: "No matter who you say testifies to you, believe it or not, I gave her a hundred taels of silver, and she changed her words and said that you were not there." Steward Zhuang sweated on his forehead. Xiao Chu hugged his arms and smiled on tiptoe in his skirt: "Tell you the truth, did you go to the dock that night?" ”

"Oh, that boat, we really didn't burn it. That night....... "Steward Zhuang said this, Gong Miao'er is a call for help, if you change someone else, you can choose to turn your face." This young lady Chu can't be offended, and she speaks sharply, even if she is young, she just doesn't let go of her questions one by one, and it is still a little difficult to get over in front of her.

Gong Miao'er was leisurely: "Let me tell you, we went that night, ha, we carried oil and fire, sat on the shore and waited, and guess what, your boat of herbs haha, they caught fire by themselves." ”

"You think I'm going to believe it!" Xiao Chu was extremely angry: "The ship caught fire by itself, what the hell!" Gong Miao'er was proud: "It's not, water ghost." ”

The second shopkeeper can laugh at Xiao Chu in person, laughing very happily, and when he is too happy, he shouts: "Peach, bring wine, and get two side dishes, it is comfortable but upside down, and it is happy to laugh at people in person." Tao'er couldn't bear it, and said to Xiao Chu, who was pale: "Young lady, it really wasn't Gongzi who burned it, when he came back that night, he said that it was burned by someone else." ”

"Someone else burned it? Who will do this. Of course Xiao Chu didn't believe it, Gong Miao'er smiled, and said to the Zhuang steward: "Don't pay attention to her, you go and get busy with yours, Tao'er, bring the wine." Then he was confident about Xiao Chu: "Young lady, you have to brighten your eyes, who doesn't harm people, you have to figure it out first." ”

There was no way to take him, and he couldn't ask why, Xiao Chu turned around, and with anger in his heart, he pulled the wooden door, and a person standing outside the door raised his hand and was about to knock on the door.

Looking at this person, Xiao Chu was stunned, and the people outside the door were also stunned. Two people, you look at me, I look at you, and the person outside the door stammered: "Miss Xiaochu, how are you doing lately?" ”

Gong Miao'er, who was smiling and watching Xiao Chu leave, heard this voice, jumped up and strode over, and sure enough, the person outside the door was Zheng Yi.
