The ice and snow are shining in the silver, and the fragrant plum blossoms stand proudly. Chu Huaixian was smiling at the people around him who were admiring the flowers, and the resentment in his heart was like a big stone pressed tightly on his heart. These people, are they embarrassed to enjoy plum blossoms? The plum blossoms are noble and clean, and the plum blossoms are more temperamental. What about their integrity?

In their hearts, they seem to regard themselves as the founding ministers.

Brother Yu ran around under the plum tree and was the only child here. Uncle Guo apologized to Chu Huaixian: "The son of the Qi family and the son of the Liu family are about the same age as Brother Yu, I will ask people to go now, so that I can play with Brother Yu." "Uncle Daguo didn't like Chu Huaixian before, he was so good at his kung fu that he was born well, but now for the sake of the future society, he must have the amount of tolerance for people, so he is thinking of a way to accommodate Chu Huaixian.

Chu Huaixian sneered in his heart, national thief, it is useless to please me no matter how much you please. He said with a smile on his face: "No need, it's good for him to play alone." He is at home with his younger brother, and he has to be alone. Speaking of Brother Ji, Brother Yu ran over and said to his father: "I want my brother to come over!" The little face immediately puffed up and glared at his father: "I want a younger brother!" ”

"Go to your mother, don't make trouble here." Chu Huaixian's face sank, and Uncle Dao was smiling. Seeing this face, Brother Yu "pounced" and sat on the ground, and immediately cried: "I want a younger brother, I want a younger brother." Chu Huaixian was furious and scolded Xiao Chu: "Take care of him, don't stir people's interest!" I won't let you follow, but I want to follow! He said angrily: "Go home, don't be here again!" ”

Xiao Chu came over to pick up Brother Yu, and Brother Yu was in his mother's arms and faced the angry Chu Huaixian: "I want to find my grandfather and let my grandfather beat you." Chu Huaixian stepped forward and scolded: "Rebellion!" Reaching out was a slap, Xiao Chu hurriedly avoided it, and hit Xiao Chu's cheek with a "snap".

Uncle Dao couldn't help laughing and persuaded him, and saw Chu Huaixian pointing at Xiao Chu and scolding: "It's all your unruly thing, a good son who was taught." If you don't let you see your son, you're not happy! Xiao Chu's face flushed, and he replied angrily: "Childe, this year, he has not disliked us less. I know you're going to marry the Zhang family's Wang family, let's go, we're not here. As he spoke, he began to cry.

Mrs. Jin also couldn't help laughing, and pulled Xiao Chu aside to persuade her: "You shouldn't talk back, just let the son scold a few words." Xiao Chu pulled Mrs. Jin to complain about her grievances: "You don't know my difficulties, I'm a girl, I'm not from everyone, he ...... I've always hated me. Am I not born well? Can't I make money? I'm not as good as a person, but I'm just a girl. ”

When they quarreled like this, the people next to them were not suspicious. Jingli is usually talking about it, Mrs. Chu Shao is a beautiful flower, and she is tired of seeing it when she is a man. Now seeing the husband and wife arguing like this, everyone understands in their hearts. What's going on behind the scenes is only known to them.

Brother Yu shouted again at this time: "I want my grandfather, I want my grandfather to beat my father." Fathers are bad, fathers are not good. Then he dragged his mother to the carriage: "Go, go home, not at home." The third master was also here, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said, "It's better to go back first." The master sent Xiaochu's mother and son to the carriage, and made a straight face at Brother Yu'er, who was still shouting: "Don't shout anymore, if you want your grandfather, you can go back." ”

"Hmph, I want my grandfather!" Brother Yu said, and said to Sun Erhai, who was driving the car: "Go home, I'll play with my grandfather and younger brother." I'm going to my grandfather to complain! Sun Erhai drove away, and the third master was not at ease, so he asked the family who came with him to go back and escort him to Beijing.

Everyone here persuaded Chu Huaixian, and was persuading, and the family members who escorted him rushed back with sweat on their faces, and said anxiously before they got off the horse: "Oh no, the young lady takes the little son, and if she doesn't go back to Beijing, she will go back to her hometown." Chu Huaixian's face turned blue and said angrily: "Chase me back!" Then he scolded: "Go back and kill this slut!" ”

The more Uncle Dao thought about it, the funnier it became: "Huaixian, I thought that you had been in love for a long time and cared about Chaochao and Twilight, and I didn't want you here, it was too unexpected." Mrs. Jin came to persuade her, she has always looked down on Lin Xiaochu who climbed on the branches, and Mrs. Jin liked it in her heart: "It's good to go back, this capital is full of beauties, Uncle Guo, you are the master to find another good one for your son." ”

Everyone persuaded Chu Huaixian to drink and have fun and go hunting, which can be regarded as a happy return.

Chu Huaixian thought of an escape plan on the way, and successfully sent Xiaochu's mother and son out of Beijing. As soon as Xiaochu's mother and son left, Chu Huaixian was in a much more relaxed mood, and returned drunk under the plum tree. Uncle Daguo told his father very satisfied: "Send it to his beauty pageant, he is a person who understands." Zhang Chengxiang also smiled when he heard what happened during the day: "This is not a family affair that is not the right family, it will be like this." Then he made a face to the uncle of the big country: "Do you want that slut to be your concubine?" Uncle Daguo laughed: "Father, my son doesn't know what's going on, he just can't leave her." Rest assured, my father is my concubine. ”

Prime Minister Zhang didn't say anything more, and was bent on planning his founding plan.

Chu Huaixian, who returned home, asked someone to call Gong Miao'er over alone the next day, and told Gong Miao'er his guess: "You go, I'll give you a letter, you take it and go to my father." If I can't go back, Xiao Chu will do business in the future, and you have to help her watch a little more. Chu Huaixian looked at Gong Miao'er urgently: "I know that although you have a slippery head, you have a good heart." Your revenge, if I can live, I will avenge you! If I can't, you can rest assured. My father has already asked people to inform the princes of various families and ask them to lead troops into King Qin. ”

Gong Miao'er trembled her lips: "There will be such a thing!" I'm a businessman, and I just think that the people who have recently gone out of Beijing have been strictly checked, but I didn't expect it! He looked at Chu Huaixian dumbfoundedly: "With me, I can also carry a murderous knife!" ”

"You can't, it's not about carrying a knife. You have to carry a sword, go to my father, let him send you to the army, and then return to the capital to carry the sword. Chu Huaixian said kindly: "But I still want you to help Xiao Chu." Even if the Zhang family builds a country, even if King Liang is gone, there are still a few imperial heirs outside Beijing, and they still have to turn back on this day. When the time comes, it will be too peaceful, and Xiao Chu will be the one who can't stay at home. Listen to me, save your life. ”

Gong Miao'er was pitiful: "I don't have a family either, only Tao'er and the guys." I don't have to tell them, I said that I went outside to buy tree seeds and sent them away, I want to stay, with me, and there are many people in the child. Chu Huaixian saw his sincerity, and said with a smile: "You can do it yourself, but you have to keep it secret, and you can't let others know." ”

Gong Miao'er nodded vigorously and swore to the sky: "If I leak a word, I won't have to die." ”

Walking out of the Chu family, Gong Miao'er felt that her mind was swollen and dizzy, and she drove the carriage halfway to the road in a daze before she woke up. When I went back to clean up, I called all the guys and told them: "The boring building is back, and the young lady said that it will be reopened after the New Year." Her business is notoriously demanding. There are some trees in the capital, you have worked hard this year, don't pass it, go out and buy something. ”

At the moment, one person gave a lot of money. The guys didn't suspect it, and Peach became suspicious. Waiting for the guys to go out, Tao'er said, "Can you use so much money to buy trees?" Besides, the young lady has never been a generous person, and she will not rush people to do things without the New Year. Didn't you say that you should recuperate for a New Year? ”

Gong Miao'er took Tao'er to the room and said to her: "You often say that you have an aunt in Shanxi, go and visit relatives." The steward of the village will accompany you and send you there, and he will buy things by the way. Peach was even more skeptical: "Why?" There are not a few days before the Chinese New Year, and this Shanxi can be reached with wings? ”

"Anyway, your first month is less than February, and February is less than March." Gong Miao'er pointed to a peach-red burden on the table and said to Tao'er: "I've cleaned it up for you, it's a little heavy, I don't have to worry about having Zhuang's steward accompany you." As he spoke, he took Tao'er's hand with one hand: "Let's go now, the car is outside." ”

Tao'er hurriedly said: "You are crazy, I will leave if you say let me go, what you eat and what you drink, you madman!" Gong Miao'er smiled: "I don't want you to stay, I want to spend the New Year by myself." Tao'er was about to speak, Gong Miao'er smiled, picked up a wet cloth on the table and covered Tao'er's nose, Tao'er girl, rolled her eyes a few times, and fainted.

The person who came in from outside was also smiling: "This medicine is powerful, you prepared it for the surnamed Lu, right?" Gong Miao'er hugged Tao'er up: "The young lady is a person who makes people care whether you have a life or not, and when she opens next year, she won't be comfortable if she doesn't tire us to death." ”

Holding Tao'er all the way to the carriage outside the door, Gong Miao'er said: "Okay, this girl is a worker's life, and if you want her to go out to play, you have to use this method." Putting the burden in the car, Gong Miaoer raised her hand to the steward of Zhuang: "Eat, drink, and have fun on the road, and come back after the first month." When you arrive in Shanxi, there is a letter in the baggage to open, you swore it, but Shanxi does not open the letter, don't forget. ”

Steward Zhuang smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, you have to play, I'm not stupid." "Drive the carriage all the way to the house, and let his wife help Miss Peach down from the carriage. When Peach woke up, the guys were all here.

The wife and son of the steward were in the courtyard, and the people in the room were in a meeting. "Don't let people celebrate the New Year, and give so much money," Zhuang's manager said with a sharp analysis: "If I believe in doing business, but drive me away and Tao'er too, this will be a ghost." Do you know what year it is? It is the 10th anniversary of the death of the old shopkeeper. The shopkeeper is afraid that the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry. ”

"It's not right that the dog jumps over the wall," one of the fellows protested, and the steward said, "That's him...... Anyway, he was in a hurry, and he didn't think about anything good. In my opinion, he wanted to kill the man surnamed Lu, so he drove us all away. Look what he gave me," Steward Zhuang took out a few things to show everyone: "This is his most beloved antique teapot, jade cigarette holder." This is what he usually uses, will he not smoke in the future? So it seemed that there was only one thing, and he didn't want to live anymore. If he wants to die, if the surname Lu doesn't die, he won't die with peace of mind. ”

The guys also took out the things Gong Miao'er gave one after another: "One person gave a letter, and forced us to swear not to read it if we didn't go anywhere." But we figured it out with our hands, mine is his usual favorite hairpin, usually look at it more than he glares, this is the old shopkeeper's thing, he also gave it to me. ”

"Mine is like the cross Ruyi buckle I asked him for that year, there are small gems on the button, saying that it was given by someone else when the shopkeeper grabbed the week, I looked good, and he gave it to me this time."

Everyone doesn't read the letter, and they have the ability to guess what's inside. Tao'er opened her baggage and hurriedly opened the familiar small rosewood box inside, and the emerald pearl appeared, which was a few pieces of jewelry that Gong Miaoer wanted to give herself when she got married. This jewelry was not sold in the most difficult time, and now it is given to itself.

Tao'er burst into tears: "I know what he has to do to live in peace on this tenth anniversary festival, I don't want to ......" Tao'er cried: "He must be going to slaughter Lu Shanchang." ”

"I'm going to help him! I have a friendship with the Gong family for three generations, and three generations of people are in charge of the Gong family, you have people who are afraid, I can't help it, since you know about it, you can't leave. To tell you the truth, I always guessed that there would be a day when a cellar was dug in the back of the house. If you don't want to go, hide in it for a few days. When we are done and go away, those who want to go will go together, and those who are unwilling to go are not sinners. The steward of Zhuang said, and the guys said: "I have come over for so many years, and when there was no business, I came over for a day in the shop, but now I have to leave." Let's go together and slaughter the one surnamed Lu! ”

Steward Zhuang's eyes were like torches, and he stared at everyone present: "Okay! From today, we only go out in the evening. Zhang Sanwang Wu, you have families, there are Zhuangzi outside the city, and before the city gate is closed at night, I will join you to send your family out. When it is done, we will go to sea by boat together, we have the craftsmanship, and we can stay anywhere. ”
