Meng Chun's rain will fall as soon as it is said, and it will stop when it is stopped. The streets that had just rained were empty, and the trees were even greener.

Chu Liang shrunk his body slightly, the air after the rain was fresh, and there was a slight cold after the breeze. Chu Liang looked up at the sky, his eyes were full of dark clouds, and Chu Liang quickened his pace to go home.

As soon as Chu Liang pushed the door, the door squeaked. Chu Liang stopped pushing the door and said with a smile: "It seems that this door has been around for some years." ”

Shanyan heard the footsteps outside and knew that it was Chu Liang who came back, so he came out and said, "Girl, you're back." ”

Chu Liang pointed to the courtyard in the corner of the wall and said to Shanyan: "Another day, we will plant some green bamboos here, and when summer comes, it will also be appropriate." ”

Shan Yan said: "The old man sent someone to deliver a letter and brought a bag of bitter leaf tea. He also said that he should take care of yourself, Miss. ”

Chu Liang asked, "That's all, gone?" ”

Shanyan nodded. Chu Liang said: "I know, you go and get some wine for Uncle Zhang, he has worked hard these days." ”

Shanyan took the money and went out.

Chu Li opened the envelope and wrote:

Since the last separation, everything is fine with my father, don't worry, and in a few more years it will be your cousin Chu Lan's birthday, you can take "Falling Rain and Return to Yantu" as a congratulatory gift, and congratulate your father, and your father will be able to return to Linjiang City in another month.

Chu Liang slowly put down the letter and said to himself: "Father, you are worried about them, and they don't lack anything. ”

After a while, Shanyan went home from drinking, and Chu Li discussed it with her. Shanyan was taken aback at first, and then said indignantly: "The master is too kind, if the master hadn't helped them back then, would his family be where it is today?" Miss Lan's family is ungrateful, turning their faces and not recognizing people, the master actually wants Miss You to come to the door to congratulate you in person, we have been in Jiangcheng for a few days, and their family has sent someone to ask, and they are too lazy to do face work. ”

Chu Liang scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, you can also judge what the master ordered, and discuss right and wrong." The mountain smoke squeaked, and finally didn't mention it again, and instead said, "How is Miss Jiang now?" ”

Chu Liang said: "She's doing well now. I'm tired of the day, so I'll prepare dinner first. "The master and servant made a little move, and the two dishes and one soup were ready.

Dinner is very simple, a plate of fried cabbage, shallots and tofu, cabbage and shredded pork soup, the portion is not much. Chu Liang put down the bowl and sighed: "I won't tell you, I don't want to go to my uncle's house, I'm most afraid of these hypocrisy, or you can go for me." ”

Shanyan shook his hand and said: "This is not good, when the master comes back, he will say that the young lady is not good, and teach me a lesson." ”

Chu Liang said: "That's what you said, then I sent a congratulatory gift, say hello, and then excuse yourself to come back with something." ”

Shanyan said: "If it weren't for the old man's concern, Miss you wouldn't go, and Miss Lan wouldn't say anything." ”

It didn't take long for the two to finish eating, Shanyan packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and before it was dark, the street vendors packed up their goods. Chu Liang glanced down the street, turned to Shanyan and said, "Let's settle down in the past two years." I remember a few years ago, we were just like them, and we were very happy at this time. ”

Shanyan put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said, "Yes, at that time, the old man always had a sad face. "The vendors collected their things and packed up quickly. The children looked innocent, and the adults on one side were smiling and some were worried.

Mountain smoke, Chu Liang sat on the bluestone slab as before, and the two chatted casually.

Suddenly, Shanyan saw a middle-aged man coming over not far away, Shanyan pulled Chu Li's sleeve and said, "Miss, let's go in, now this is no better than the countryside, and I'm afraid that someone will gossip after a long time." ”

Chu Liang said: "You are right, I was negligent. Let's go inside. ”

At dusk, Chu Liang was folding clothes in the house, and Shanyan came in with a painting and said, "This is the painting that the master said, so that I can find it." ”

Chu Liang glanced up at her: "This is painted by the people of Baishi Mountain, and the literati can't buy it if they want to." ”

Shanyan pursed his lips and said, "I think the old man is really broad-hearted." ”

Chu Liang had something in his heart, so he asked, "Chen Yanzhi...... Where does the Chen family live in Linjiang City? ”

Shanyan thought for a while and said, "I don't know about this, or I'll let Uncle Zhang ask." ”

Chu Liang put his clothes aside and said, "Forget it, don't bother Uncle Zhang, I'm just hearsay." ”

The moonlight fell on the atrium, and a blue wall was covered with bits and pieces of moonlight. Chu Liang had something in his heart, and he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. I simply lit a red candle, got up and poured a cup of tea, and poured a cup of bitter leaf tea to drink, and I couldn't sleep

There was no sound at night, and the mountain smoke outside was sleeping soundly, and Chu Liang also heard her turn over.

Yesterday, I heard that Chen Yanzhi also came to Jiangcheng, Chu Liang has always remembered this in her heart, she and Chen Yanzhi have not seen each other for several years. The impression of Chen Yanzhi is still that of a little boy who laughed when he was a child, because his father promised himself to Chen Yanzhi very early, and Chu Liang has always paid attention to Chen Yanzhi. Chu Li couldn't say the reason why he liked it or not, and he always felt that he should do it.

Chu Liang thought in his heart: "My uncle's family knows that I have come to Jiangcheng, the Chen family will not know, his family has not sent anyone over, is it to avoid suspicion and wait for my father to come back?" However, few people in Linjiang City know about me and my father, so what is there to avoid. ”

I thought of the third watch like this before falling asleep.

Chu Li's uncle, Chu Yaozuo, is now the Zhongshu of the Liang Dynasty, and the emperor values Chu Yaozuo very much. Although Chu Yaozuo has the talent to govern the country, he is very mean, and he holds grudges and does not remember gratitude. Now that he is in a high position, he is surrounded by some villains who tend to be inflammatory, and meet left and right.

Chu Yaozuo's wife loves her only daughter very much, because Chu Lan suffered a lot when she was a child, and her wife doted on her even more. Give what you want, although Chu Lan's nature is not bad, she has developed the temper that the eldest lady has.

Chu Lan was trying on clothes one by one in her boudoir, she carefully fiddled with the dress next to her, and asked the maid on the side, "Is the one just now the last one?" I don't look very good, it's not as good as Miss Zhang Shangshu's birthday. ”

The maids complained bitterly in their hearts, and they all tried for a day, but they couldn't say that their backs hurt when they served. This young lady is notoriously difficult to serve in the house, picking food and clothing every day, and likes to punish people.

A maid boldly said, "Since the young lady doesn't like it, it's better to let the lady make a few." ”

Chu Lan thought for a while and said, "What you said makes sense, then you go and talk to Madame." ”

The maid kept complaining in her heart: "I really moved a stone and hit my own foot." Chu Lan pointed to the maid next to her again: "You accompany her to talk to Madame." ”

The two maids had no choice but to bite the bullet, and the other complained, "It's all your bad idea." ”

Chu Yaozuo had just come back from outside and was sitting in Mrs. Li's room, and Mrs. Li was asking the maid to pour tea for Chu Yaozuo.

Mrs. fanned her fan slowly, and said: "The Chu Li family has been in Linjiang City for almost half a month, I sent someone to send something to say hello last time, and now that Lan'er's birthday has arrived, do you want to send an invitation card over." ”

When Chu Yaozuo heard this, he didn't take it to heart, and only said: "These little things are up to Mrs. to decide." ”

The two maids waited until Chu Yaozuo entered the back room before they came in and stood with their hands down.

Mrs. Li saw them come in silently and asked, "Did the girl ask you to come over?" ”

One of the maids replied, "The girl is not very satisfied with the clothes for her birthday, so let us come and talk to the lady." ”

Mrs. Li sighed and said, "You go down first, I know." ”
