When Chaoyu led the order and left only Xiao Xia in the house, he looked at the half-burned candle, the candlelight was slightly yellow and warm, and he fell into deep contemplation again.

If it weren't for Shen Xiaodong's reminder, she wouldn't have been able to pay attention to everything she did, and she would have been influenced by the ideological education she had received in her previous life, and she wouldn't have peeked into other people's privacy, maybe she wouldn't have read this letter.

In that case, she wouldn't know that Chu Duhe was actually sent by Grandpa Hu to spy on Hu Qing. She knows Hu Qing's attitude towards Grandpa Hu, absolute trust and dependence, and at this time, it seems that Grandpa Hu's attitude towards Hu Qing is a little intriguing, what is the purpose of his upbringing of Hu Qing?

She used to think that they were hiding in the mountains to hide from some enemy, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

Year by year, another new year passed in a hurry. This year, the second lady of Yishan Bofu is seventeen years old, and she has passed the marriageable age, but fortunately, the man she likes, Hu Qing, has also returned, and the He family has been waiting for a long time.

After the New Year's Day on the first day of the New Year, He took the girls in the family to gossip about family affection in the warm room of Fengyun Hall.

There are two copper stoves, one large and one small, on the ground, the silver wire charcoal in it is burning, and there are several half-cooked sweet potatoes roasted on the big copper stove, and the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes is smoked all over the room. And the small copper stove is boiling fragrant tea, and the aroma of tea is accompanied by the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, which is probably the taste of the best year.

At this time, the maid guarding the outside opened the door curtain, and Xiao Xia wore a goose-yellow skirt embroidered with a delicate green daisy skirt, and walked in, with cold air on her body, obviously just coming back from outside.

Smelling the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes in the room, I turned my attention to the copper stove. Yin Hong's little mouth hooked slightly, and he smiled.

"Mother, you want Mr. Xia to know, and it's time to educate you that you don't know how to be polite, and you don't have the demeanor of your wife."

When He Shi heard this, his face flushed a little, and he glared at Xiao Xia with disgust, even his mother dared to chat.

Xiaoqiu, who was sitting on the side, wore a festive peach-colored gown embroidered with plum blossoms today, and inside was a loose flower skirt of the same color. is thirteen years old this year, and every move is the demeanor of a big girl, I have to say that Mr. Xia taught well.

I saw her sitting on the embroidery pier next to her, pinching her handkerchief and smiling softly.

"The second sister is not allowed to eat for a while."

When He Shi heard this, he came to the temperament.

"Yes, I won't give it to you for a while."

He is four or eight years younger, but he is still a child, combing his hair with two balls, watching his mother and the second sister and the third sister arguing, sitting on the side and giggling.

Xiao Xia looked at the sizzling sweet potatoes that had been roasted, how could she let them go.

"I see that this sweet potato is big and sweet, and there are a lot of them, so it's better to send two of them to Qingyuju, Mr. Xia will definitely like it."

Seeing her mother's eyes lit up, Xiao Xia smiled and walked over and hugged her mother's arm, and said coquettishly: "Mr. Xia's most painful thing is his mother's kiss, how can she blame her mother?" ”

He Shi nodded Shen Xiaoxia's brain, and scolded with a smile: "Just your sweet mouth, how old are you and still coquettish with your mother?" ”

Speaking of this, he sighed again.

"What about your marriage to Hu Qing? You are now seventeen, and at the age of other people's girls, the babies are running all over the ground. ”

Xiao Xia knew that her mother had been worrying about this matter recently, but she was really not in a hurry.

"Why don't I ask Miss Chu, isn't she Hu Qing's cousin? Let's see if her father and mother can help Hu Qing make the decision? Settle your marriage? ”

Shen Xiaoxia couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this.

"You can let your father discuss this matter directly with Hu Qing, and he can make his own decisions about his own marriage."

"Let your father mention it, aren't we too ......?"

Xiaoqiu sat aside and smiled again. "Mother, just listen to the second sister! The second sister is hating to marry. ”

"But it's not polite, huh?"

"Mother, if you wait for Hu Qing's wood to take the initiative to marry my second sister, it is estimated that the fourth child should get married."

He suddenly felt reasonable, but he still blamed Xiaoqiu.

"How can you say anything without holding back your mouth?"

Xiaoqiu stuck out her tongue and closed her mouth, but her eyes looked at the second sister, as if she was asking for credit.

There was a lot of fun here, but in the courtyard where Hu Qing and Chu Dui lived, the atmosphere was very tense.

Chu Duhe was already in tears when she sat on the edge of her bed crying, she didn't expect that she hadn't had time to do anything? My cousin was provoked by that woman, and he wanted to take him away.

"Cousin, why did you let me go? Is it because there is no room for me here? If that's the case, I'll just move out. ”

Chu Duhe saw that he had been crying for a long time, his eyes were swollen from crying, and his tears were dry, but the man opposite seemed to be unmoved, he didn't say anything, and he didn't say a word of comfort, crying more and more sadly.

"How did you promise Grandpa when you left? Have you forgotten everything? Now that you think I'm a nuisance, you're going to send me back alone, how can you bear it? In case you meet a bad guy halfway through, how about you make me a weak woman? ”

"There will be no danger if Hu Hu escorts you back." Hu Qingliang said a cool word, got up and left, and no longer gave Chu Duhe a chance to play.

Chu Duhe could only ravage the handkerchief in his hand with hatred, and at this time, he simply hated Shen Xiaoxia to the core. Before Shen Xiaoxia, her cousin had never been so ruthless to her, and that woman didn't know what to say in her cousin's ear? Let my cousin be determined to send herself away, she will never let that woman get her wish.

Chu Duhe sorted out his emotions, saw that there was no one outside his house, so he found an opportunity and walked out secretly.

And Shen Xiaoxia, who had just eaten roasted sweet potatoes from Fengyuntang and was on his way back to his yard, was suddenly stopped by Chu Duhe, who was crying.

Looking at Chu Duhe's sad and pretended to be weak, Shen Xiaoxia twisted her eyebrows, how could she feel a little familiar with such a scene?

"Sister Shen, please don't let me go, okay? I don't know what I did wrong to make Sister Shen unhappy? I'll change it! ”

If you want to be filial piety, Chu Duhe at this time is dressed in white and crying with a soft and weak appearance, I don't know if I will think that I am bullying her! Shen Xiaoxia sneered in her heart, but Chu Duhe really didn't wronged herself, this matter was indeed done by Hu Qing because of her words.

"Miss Chu, are you leaving?"

Listening to Shen Xiaoxia's gloating tone, Chu Duhe cried even more sadly.

"Didn't you say something in front of my cousin? That's why he drove me away? If you don't like me, I'll just move out of Yishanbo's mansion, why should you ...... Do you want to hurt me like this? ”

Xiao Xia was about to speak, when he noticed that Chu Duhe's gaze moved slightly, and then he cried quietly, this time crying was more pitiful.

Shen Xiaoxia could only sigh, this woman really cried. Crying can still cry so many tricks.
