Mrs. Luo is showing needlework in the house, her eyes are not very good, the show is a little slow, although these little things have someone to do, but Mrs. Luo likes to do it herself.

Chen Liang entered the door angrily. Mrs. Luo saw it and said in surprise: "Who made the master so angry." ”

Chen Liang knocked on the table and said: "It's not the rebel who doesn't grow up, he doesn't do his job all day long, it's not that I said, like him, he is either a middle-lift person, or he goes out to be an official, you look at him, he is still a showman." I just looked outside his door, and the rebel was pretending to be holding a book. ”

Mrs. Luo hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand, got up and poured tea for Chen Liang, and said, "The master is angry. ”

Chen Liang said: "From today onwards, he will not be allowed to go out, let him concentrate on reading at home." ”

Mrs. Luo persuaded: "Freezing three feet, not a day's cold, these still have to be slow." ”

Chen Liang saw the needle and thread on the bed in a blink of an eye, and said, "Didn't you say that you don't need to do these things?" Mrs. Luo saw that Chen Liang was angry, and she was relieved on the side.

Chen Guan heard that his father had come, and he read more seriously.

He took the Analect and flipped through it at random, and accidentally saw:

Zi Zaichuan said: "The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night." ”

He thought to himself: "It's still the saint who thinks about it more." Suddenly, he thought: "What can I do if I think about it a lot, or if I have wine today and get drunk today, I will be sad tomorrow and I will be sad tomorrow." ”

He turned to look at the bookshelf behind him, felt heavy in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "It's easy to read, but it's hard to be a saint." ”

Chu Liang was cleaning up the sundries at home, and suddenly turned out a wooden box, she opened it and saw that most of the things in it were used when she was a child. The little clothes she wore when she was a child, the little shoes. There's also a small box with kites she's loved for a while.

Chu Liang took out the contents one by one and looked at them, fiddling with them at hand, and the past came flooding back.

Chu Liang was pondering, and suddenly heard Shanyan say outside: "Miss, the second master's house is here." ”

Outside the door, a young man was holding an invitation in his left hand and a bag of things in his right hand.

Chu Liang came out to open the door, and Shanyan was washing clothes by the well.

Chu Liang asked, "Are you?" ”

The person who came said: "Lord Chu Zhongshu sent someone to send an invitation to Miss, and Miss Lan will celebrate her birthday in half a month." Madame gave Miss something else and said hello to Master Chu and Miss. ”

Chu Liang took it and said, "It's hard for my uncle, my aunt remembers, my father wrote that he might not be able to come back in time for Sister Lan's birthday, so let me come to congratulate me." As soon as my father came to Jiangcheng, he would come to the door to reminisce about the past, and I hoped that my uncle and aunt would forgive me. ”

The person who came agreed to go.

Shanyan entered Chu Li's room, and when he saw that Chu Liang had made a mess of things, he couldn't help but rub his forehead and complain a few words about Chu Li. Chu Liang smiled and comforted Shanyan a few words, then put the things and invitations on the table, sat down and poured tea.

Shanyan went out to dry his clothes, and then came over and said, "I thought Miss Lan's family would pretend not to know?" ”

Chu Liang sneered: "These superficial kung fu Zhongshu adults don't have to worry about it. It's just that I haven't seen each other for so many years, so I suddenly came to congratulate me, and I really didn't want to go. ”

Shanyan sat down and said: "Master is too kind, in the past, our family needed help with something, and those relatives and friends pretended to be confused. ”

Chu Liang said: "Don't mention the old past, most of these relatives in our family are unreliable. ”

Shanyan nodded and said, "On Miss Lan's birthday, I will accompany Miss Lan." ”

After the two finished speaking, Shanyan put away the things that Chu Liang had opened, and when he cleaned up, Shanyan couldn't help but complain a few words.

Mrs. Li asked someone to make a dress for Chu Lan again, and after Chu Lan saw it, she praised it again and again, and asked the maid to take it.

The maid handed the list of invitations to Chu Lan, Chu Lan accidentally saw Chu Li, she had a little impression of this name, and she couldn't remember it for a while, so she asked the maid next to her: "Who is this Chu Li?" A distant relative of our family? ”

The maids also thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered it with Chu Lan's peach leaf since childhood, and said, "Chu Liang is Miss's cousin. ”

Chu Lan remembered: "It's her, when did she come to Linjiang City, has she ever been to my house?" ”

Momoye said: "I heard the people around my wife say it, so I sent someone to come once." ”

Chu Lan said casually: "At first glance, I can't remember it, I heard my father mention it before, my cousin and uncle ran around doing business together, and they had been to many places. ”

Tao Ye said: "At that time, the old man's family sent a housekeeper over, and if you calculate it carefully, I haven't seen each other for eleven or two years, and Miss, you were still arguing to play with Miss Chu Li back then." ”

Chu Lan said indifferently: "That's all from the past, I don't remember, you put away what I am wearing, I can't find it when I save it, if you can't find it, you will settle the account." ”

Chu Lan looked at the list again, and said to the maid next to him: "Among these sons, Xie Shaoqing is the most dusty, I have seen him from afar, he is dressed in white, and everyone who has seen him says that he is cold." Chen Guan has met a few times, but he has a good relationship with many girls, and they can all talk. ”

Chu Lan put the list aside, picked up the mirror again, looked at it, touched her face and said, "I've had acne on my face again in the past few days, is it that I have eaten too much greasy things." ”

Momoye complimented: "Miss is naturally beautiful, this little acne is nothing." ”

Chu Lan rubbed a little rouge on her face again: "You don't need to say this, of course Miss Ben is naturally beautiful." ”

The maids secretly slandered themselves in their hearts, and they didn't dare to show it on their faces.

Chu Lan cleaned herself up for several days, and the maids around her were miserable.

At this time, the maid beside Madame came over and said, "Madame asked Madame to come over for lunch with Madame." ”

Chu Lan took the two maids and went to the lady's room.

Mrs. Li was waiting for Chu Lan in the room, and when she saw Chu Lan talking as she walked, she couldn't help but say: "It's still so unruly when you walk, and you can't do it like this after you take it, otherwise people will say that the daughter of the Zhongshu family has no education at all." ”

Chu Lan pulled her mother's and said, smiling and saying, "Listen to my mother." ”

Mrs. Li took out a hand, poked Chu Lan's forehead, and said, "You, you know when you can take my words to heart." ”

Chu Lan nodded again and again, looking very sincere, Mrs. Li turned around and took out a small box, handed it to Chu Lan, and said, "You open it and take a look." ”

Chu Lan took it and looked at it, the box was very exquisite. When I opened it, it was a green jade step, the top was a butterfly, and below the butterfly was a tassel, and the butterfly carving was lifelike.

This step was exactly what Chu Lan wanted, and Chu Lan thanked her mother with a smile. Mrs. Li put it on for Chu Lan and said, "This is what my mother passed on to me, and now I pass it on to you, Lan'er will have to be good at it." ”

Chu Lan nodded: "Mother is relieved." ”
