I'm sorry, Miss Peizhu, are you alright?" Zhao Xiaoshuang asked.

"It's okay, I'm fine! I was in a hurry, and I didn't pay attention! ”

Liu Peizhu said while rubbing her arm with her hand. She frowned, looked at the books on the floor, and crouched down, ready to clean up.

Zhao Xiaoshuang hurriedly squatted down and helped pick up the books scattered on the ground together. It just so happened that a copy fell between them, and the two went to pick it up at the same time, and their hands inadvertently touched together, Zhao Xiaoshuang raised his head, but unfortunately met Peizhu's gaze, Peizhu hurriedly lowered his head shyly, and the two retracted their hands almost at the same time.

Facing the girl he liked, Zhao Xiaoshuang also became shy, and he didn't know what to say.

"I studied in a girls' school, and I wanted to learn more, but I was afraid that my father would not allow me, and I didn't expect my father to give me the idea of letting me study."

Liu Peizhu broke the silence and gently dusted the dirt on the book.

"Good! Reading is a good thing! The girl is already outstanding, smart and studious, and must have a bright future! ”

Zhao Xiaoshuang replied, looking at Liu Peizhu with glittering eyes.

Liu Peizhu knew in her heart and pretended not to see it.

"Where! What a prize! ”

Lao Li Tou'er had been walking forward, but when he heard the sound behind him, he turned back, saw them picking up books on the ground, and also squatted down to help.

"Can you get used to studying in school?"

Zhao Xiaoshuang stood up and handed the book to Liu Peizhu.

The snow fell heavier, and when it fell to the ground, it turned into water, and the ground became wet.

"It's hard to say, I was quite excited at first, but later, some places are still not used to it! For example, the school also let us raise our own silkworms, and those white worms were clumped on mulberry leaves, which was disgusting! I was scared when I looked at it, and my classmates even called them silkworm babies, I don't know where this 'treasure' is cute! Our girls' school has a Western language class, which is very difficult to learn! By the way, I forgot to tell you, we also have a class in tailoring fabrics, and I will have to ask you for advice in this area in the future, you are an expert! ”

Miss Liu Peizhu also stood up, and as she spoke, she took out a handkerchief cloth and gently wiped away the wet mud that had stuck to the book.

"Learn from me? Miss really exalted me! I'm still an apprentice! Zhao Xiaoshuang patted the soil on his hands a few times and said with a smile.

"Well, I thought it shouldn't be so much trouble to make a dress, but now I know that there is a lot of knowledge in it!"

"Really? How kind of knowledge? ”

"Let's not talk about the tedious skills of cutting, sewing, keyhole buttoning, ironing, embroidery, printing and dyeing, pasting, Loukong, and inlay, let's just talk about this material, Nizi, cotton and linen, silk, leather, and then in detail, silk, satin, cotton, and what georgette, French satin, linen yarn, yarn, woven brocade... I can't even tell the difference! Not only is it hard to tell, but I can't remember it! ”

Seeing Liu Peizhu frowning and a painful expression, Zhao Xiaoshuang smiled and bent over.

"These are really troublesome to remember, you just need to remember a few common ones, the main ones!"

Liu Peizhu said: "Actually, I still prefer music! Of all the things I've learned, I like music the most! ”

When it comes to music, her eyes are surprisingly bright and radiant.

Zhao Xiaoshuang's eyes widened, and he said curiously: "The school is so good!" There's so much to learn! Tell me, what else have you learned? Singing, playing the piano, dancing or drawing? ”

Liu Peizhu lowered her head slightly, did not answer, and after a while, she said in a voice that was blown away by the wind: "I like to play the piano!" I hope that one day, I will have my own concert! Or, if you don't open it, you can just play the piano and play it for yourself! ”

Are you sure? I didn't expect Miss Peizhu to be so ambitious, admire! ”

"I know, this is from the mouth of a little girl, you must think it is ridiculous! It's ridiculous! ”

Liu Peizhu's voice carried the vicissitudes of life that did not match her age, which made Zhao Xiaoshuang feel distressed all of a sudden, and hurriedly retorted: "I didn't mean that, I meant.. I really admire you! ”

Lao Li Tou'er also took the last two books and handed them over.

Liu Peizhu held the sorted book with both arms, opened her mouth, but did not speak, a pair of aura eyes reflected in the fluttering small snowflakes, her creamy white face was crimson, her hands were red, and even her ears were frozen red.

"It's so cold today, you're wearing too little!"

As he spoke, Zhao Xiaoshuang sighed, took off the scarf he was tying and put it on Peizhu. His slender fingers flexibly helped her tie a knot, looking at the thick scarf covering her little face, leaving only a pair of bright eyes, Zhao Xiaoshuang nodded with satisfaction.

Pei Zhu straightened up, held her breath, and let her heart pound, letting the scent of fragrant snow grass hit him.

Old Li Tou'er coughed and said to Zhao Xiaoshuang: "Mrs. Liu is still waiting there!"

"Oh!" Zhao Xiaoshuang promised Lao Li Tou'er, and at the same time looked at Liu Peizhu and said: "Hey, you are so good-looking!"

Liu Peizhu lowered her head embarrassedly.

"Then I'll go first!"

"Hmm!"

Zhao Xiaoshuang said, and walked a few steps to follow Lao Li Tou'er towards Mrs. Liu's room.

Holding the book in her arms, Liu Peizhu still freed her hands, she stretched her neck, took a hot breath into her palm, rubbed it a few times, and the corners of her mouth rose, revealing a shallow smile. She calmed down the panic in her heart, looked at Zhao Xiaoshuang's distant back in a daze, and left.

At this time, the snowflakes were already large, flying all over the sky, and falling from the sky one after another.

Mrs. Liu lived in the main room, and the windows were covered with red flower paper, and the door was not closed, and there was a small crack open. Lao Li Tou'er gently patted the door with his hand, and heard a woman inside say in a hoarse voice: "Come in!" ”

"Squeak!"

The door was half-pushed open by Lao Li Tou'er, and Zhao Xiaoshuang also followed.

The sunlight hits the saffron paper window, and the light comes in obliquely, and the room is not very bright, and it has a white, foggy feeling. There is rosewood furniture in the house, which is painted with dark red paint, perhaps the time has passed, the color is not bright, and even a piece has fallen off in some places, spotted. On Fu Lu Shou's kang, there are porcelain bowls and plates with sweet white backgrounds, and there are several honey trees in them, and on the round wooden table, there is a cloisonné enamel smoker.

Mrs. Liu had already cleaned up, and was now sitting on a chair, stilting her legs, boredly playing with the two polished walnuts in her hands. She was wearing a purple satin cheongsam, her eye bubbles were a little prominent, she looked like a kind person, with a high nose, a wide chin, her skin was still delicate, and her forehead was carved with a few fine lines by the years.

"Madam, Tailor Zhao is here!"

"Well, got it, you step back first!"

Lao Li Tou'er glanced at Xiaoshuang, then retreated and closed the door casually.

"Zhao Xiaoshuang!"

"Hmmm! It's me! Madame, you command! ”

In Mrs. Liu's eyes, Zhao Xiaoshuang is no longer an outsider, Zhao Xiaoshuang can speak, a young woman likes it, and an older woman likes it, but there is more of a layer of motherhood in it.

"It's going to be the New Year, the house is going to make a batch of clothes for the next people, if you and your father are too busy, you don't have to run back and forth, just move here and live for a while, eat and live in the house, and finish the work

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Get back! I'll go back and let my subordinates vacate two rooms in this house, you and your father will discuss it and come over! ”

"Oh, okay! I know! ”

As he spoke, the door creaked open as if someone had kicked it open, and a young man entered, with a tall, pointed, frozen red nose and a pair of round and large eyes, which at first glance looked like an owl. The owl didn't seem to have washed his face, his whole face was gray, he was dressed in a long gray cotton shirt, and he was carrying a dog-beating stick in his hand.

Zhao Xiaoshuang recognized that this was the second young master of Liufu, the fool Liu Yunqi, nicknamed the owl.

The owl entered the door and saw that there was someone in the room, so he came over curiously, circled around Zhao Xiaoshuang, and then, standing in front of him, tilted his head, stared at him for a while, and then ran to Mrs. Liu, pointed at Zhao Xiaoshuang and said to Mrs. Liu.

"Clothes!"

Mrs. Liu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Good! Clothes! Yunqi is so smart! What a good boy! ”

Zhao Xiaoshuang stood there and couldn't laugh or cry.

A dignified seven-foot man, how did he become a dress!

But what's the solution! Who made this boy a fool! It's not easy for a fool to realize that he's a dressmaker!

Forget it, clothes are clothes!

"Yunqi is smart! Hey! Clothes! Hey! ”

When the owl heard Mrs. Liu's praise, he smirked, and danced with his hands carried away, and the stick in his hand also spun in the air with the shaking of his body, and swept over Mrs. Liu.

It was too late, it was too fast, Zhao Xiaoshuang rushed forward with a sword step, grabbed the owl's hand, and snatched the stick from his hand, so he quieted down.

Mrs. Liu was frightened, and her hands holding her head were still trembling.

"Confused! Confused again! You can't just let me save a snack! Okay, what are you doing with a stick? Makes me scared! ”

"Mother, he... He... They... Hit..."

As if knowing that he was in trouble, the owl craned his neck and said timidly.

"Old Li Tou'er! Get the stick out! Mrs. Liu shouted outside the door, and Old Li Tou'er came in, took the stick in Lin Chen's hand and went out.

The owl said aggrievedly, "Why take my stick!" I'm going to fight too..."

"Who's going to beat you again?" Mrs. Liu's face was disdainful, and her tone was a little impatient.

"Birds..."

"Birds?" Mrs. Liu knew that the child was making a mistake, so she shook her head helplessly and said, "If you think about it carefully, it is difficult for a little bird to beat you?"

"Hmmm! They're on my head..."

As he spoke, the owl lowered his head for Mrs. Liu to see. A large chunk of white bird droppings was falling on top of his head, like a small white lid over his head.

Zhao Xiaoshuang was afraid that he couldn't help it and would laugh, so he said to Mrs. Liu: "Madam, if there is no other command, I will go back first!" I took note of Madame's words! Go back and clean up with my dad and move over! ”

"Thanks to your block today! My second son-in-law has never done things lightly or heavily, if this stick really touches me, I don't know how many sins I will suffer in this body! ”

"Madame is gracious!"

"Let's move in a year ago!"

"Okay!"

Bidding farewell to Mrs. Liu, Zhao Xiaoshuang withdrew.

When I came out of Liufu, the snow was already very heavy, and the roof, branches, and ground were all white, and a crow that came out of nowhere "croaked" on the top of Zhao Xiaoshuang's head, fluttered its wings and flew away.
