Widow Cui left without saying anything, Chun Ying heard it inexplicably, turned around and continued to cut cucumbers, and then suddenly thought: She didn't plan to ask the Cui family girl to find an errand for herself, right?

This thought frightened Chun Ying almost cut her fingers, hurriedly threw away the kitchen knife and rushed to the front of Cui's house, shouting repeatedly: "Aunt Cui, Aunt Cui!" But he found that she was not in the house, and she did not know where she had gone.

Mother Lu came in from outside the courtyard with a burden, and when she saw this, she frowned and said, "What do you tell her to do?" Standing in front of her house for a while longer will be unlucky! Why don't you go back soon?! ”

Chunying hurriedly pulled her back to the house, said all the words of Widow Cui, and asked, "Mother, what does she mean by this?" Will she ...... Will you ask Sister Cui to find a way to get me into the house? ”

Mother Lu smiled disdainfully: "If the mother and daughter of the Cui family have this ability, they don't need to harm you in the first place!" Don't listen to her nonsense, I don't know what I want to do! After that, he took the burden and went to the kang: "I just came back from the embroidery room, and took a new job, I heard that there is a family official lady who is going to get married, and I specially invited the embroidery room to do some work such as chair building, tea surrounding, bed curtains, embroidered curtains, etc., I can't take those turns, so I took a few handkerchiefs and shoe uppers back to do." Tsk, I don't know whose lady it is, the dowry is so exquisite, and the embroidery patterns are divided into four seasons, and even the color of the material is ......"

She chattered, but Chunying didn't listen to it, and was always a little worried. Although the mother and daughter of the Cui family are incompetent, Miss Cui is now the maid of the third young master, will she already have a certain amount of power and can make suggestions to the housekeeper? I think that the eldest sister Qiuyu was also promoted to the second-class girl ring before she found a shortage for her sister.

She was thinking about it here, and Mother Lu said that she didn't see her daughter for a long time, and when she looked up and saw that she was in a daze, she slapped her: "What are you stupid?!" So what is Sister Cui Man's ability? If she can really find a good job for you, you can just go! The third-class little girl, she grabs a lot of money in the house, what kind of thing does she think she is?! ”

Chunying rubbed her head, thinking that what the old lady said was also reasonable, besides, why did Miss Cui help herself? Their relationship is almost half an enemy, right?

Thinking of this, Chunying stopped worrying and continued to go back to cut cucumbers.

Such days are peaceful, Chunying embroiders every day, cooks, does laundry, takes care of her younger brother, brings food to her father, and occasionally flips through the calendar. Although she didn't want to find out what kind of world this was for a long time, as a pastime reading, this almanac was still a little interesting, and she couldn't find any other books anyway. In the vicinity of the Qingguo Marquis Mansion, which is famous for its poetry and book heirlooms, there is not a single bookstore to be found, and according to Lu's mother's recollection, there were originally two or three of them, all of which have disappeared one by one in the past 20 years.

At noon one day, Chunying came back from delivering food from the gate, and it was already past mealtime. The sun was not very big, but the air was filled with a damp and heavy smell, which made people feel very uncomfortable and a little out of breath. Chunying guessed that it was probably about to rain.

The road was quiet, except for the occasional one or two people hurrying past with their hands shielded from the sun, and in the nearby shops, the men were listlessly slumped on the counter and snoozed. Chunying held the basket in one hand and fanned the wind in the other, seeing that the sky was a little gloomy, she dispelled the idea of taking care of the second uncle's courtyard and visiting the bookstores in the area by the way.

When she turned into the back street, she saw a man sitting on a stone under a tree in the street, resting against the trunk with his eyes closed. She recognized that it was a mustache that had been met three times, and seeing that his face was not very good, and he was actually miserable and white under the sun, she hurriedly walked over and whispered: "Childe, childe? How are you sitting here? ”

The mustache moved, opened his eyes to look at her, and narrowed his eyes again: "You are ......"

Chunying smiled: "You don't recognize me?" My surname is Lu, in the Lantern Festival Lantern Market, you gave me a carp lantern, and the last time someone bullied my mother, you also asked your little girl to help my mother speak. She looked up, "Why are you here alone?" Where's your little one? ”

"Mohan?" The mustache seemed a little confused, "Ah...... He sent Li Xu back......" He stared at Chunying for a long time before nodding slowly: "I remember...... Grassy fireflies, aren't they? ”

Chunying felt that something was wrong with him: "Do you feel uncomfortable about anything?" She took two steps closer and smelled the smell of alcohol on him: "Are you drunk?" ”

"Drunk? I'm not drunk! The mustache suddenly waved his hand, "I'm fine!" I'm happy! Xiao Li ...... Finally got rid of it, got rid of it! I'm happy for him......" At this point, he nodded and drooped again.

Is this still called not drunk? Chunying pursed her lips, looked left and right at nothing that could be used, and pulled out a handkerchief to fan him: "Since your little servant is not here, do you have any other followers?" It's hot and humid today, and if you sit here like this, the canopy is not big, and you're going to get heat stroke. ”

"I'm fine...... the mustache sniffed, and suddenly silently shed tears, "Xiao Li is leaving, go to the south...... He's got rid of, what about me? He has a good mother-in-law, a good brother-in-law, and can earn a future, but what about me? ”

Chunying was a little puzzled: "What did you say?" ”

The mustache was only in tears, and looking at his condition, it seemed that he was not yet conscious. Chunying was a little at a loss, and wanted to borrow a handkerchief to wipe two handfuls on him, but she was worried that this was in ancient times, and the rules of etiquette were stricter, which didn't seem to be appropriate, but seeing that this person had been crying, she felt a little sad: "Don't cry...... There are always sad things in this world, it's good to think about it...... "She crossed over without incident, it's sad enough, and she has become a family child, isn't it even worse?" But she still has to live?

"Second young master, second young master......" The young man's shout came from a distance, which startled Chun Ying, and immediately jumped away to look left and right. Where is the second young master?! Wait for her to run away first-

"Second Young Master!" The boy ran closer, but it was the little guy he had seen once last time, "Why are you sitting here?" Stain your clothes! ”

Isn't it the second young master of the Hou Mansion? Chunying breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "You are this son's little servant, right?" I'm the daughter of the Lu family you saw last time, and the son seems to be drunk and not very sober. ”

The little guy looked annoyed: "Sure enough, I'm still drunk - thank you little girl." He bent down and said to the mustache: "Second Young Master, you always say that you have a good amount of wine, as soon as Young Master Xu persuades you, you will drink cup by cup, and at the end you will coax me away." If something happens to you here alone, don't want this life, little one! ”

The mustache wiped the tears from his face at some point, and said groggily: "Nonsense...... Who will blame you? Maybe there's a reward! ”

The little guy opened his mouth, and after a long while, he whispered: "The second young master said this, so that the master heard it, wouldn't it be sad?" Other people's gossip, the second young master doesn't pay attention to it. Then he put his arm around him and tried to help him stand up, but the mustache stood up and swayed, and before he could take two steps, he almost fell. The little girl was still young and lacked strength, so he was almost pulled by him and fell down, so he had to hold on to his death, turned around and pulled his neck and begged Chunying: "Little girl, please call a carriage for us......"

Chunying looked at the mustache swaying left and right worriedly, nodded hurriedly, turned around and was about to walk down the street, but heard a sound behind her, the mustache had vomited dirt, and even the little girl's clothes were stained a few points, and it smelled sour for a while. The mustache seemed to have lost its strength, and the whole person softened.

The little guy was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "What can I do about this?" Second young master? Second young master? Let's go to Young Master Xu's house to take a rest, shall we? How can you walk like this? ”

Chunying hurriedly said, "Why don't you go to my yard?" It's just a short walk ahead. I also have hangover soup at home. "It's for my father.

The little girl groaned slightly, and then agreed: "It's so annoying to the little girl, please lead the way." ”

Chunying hurriedly led them back to the yard where they were, because her mother was sleeping in the house, she didn't dare to bring people inside, so she asked the Ma family to borrow a bamboo deck chair, put it in the shade of the tree, let him lie down, and poured wine soup for the little girl.

The little guy was fanning the master with a big sunflower fan, and hurriedly took the soup over, smelled it twice, and then fed the mustache to drink, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Chunying with a smile: "Thank you, little girl, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do." ”

Chunying smiled and waved her hand: "You helped me last time, of course I have to repay it, yes, huh...... The little brother ...... and said hurriedly: "My name is Mo Han." "Then Brother Mohan, your young master was drunk just now, and he seems to have been sitting under the tree for a while, his face is strangely pale, I'm afraid he is suffering from heat stroke, you ...... Do you have any medicine with you......" Chun Ying vaguely remembered that in ancient times, young masters and young ladies would bring something similar to them in their sachets.

Mo Han was reminded by her, and hurriedly went through the sachet on the mustache's waist, and sure enough, he found two pills, smelled them, and fed him one. Chunying went to the kitchen to get some salt and boiled it again, and by the way, she fetched well water to wash her mustache's face.

Lu's mother just took a break, heard the sound, hurriedly freshened up and walked out and asked her daughter, "Why did you invite outsiders in?" ”

Chun Ying hurriedly said: "It's the son who helped us talk when Mrs. Wu came to make trouble last time, he was drunk and vomited outside just now." I'm worried he's suffering from heat stroke. ”

Hearing this, Lu's mother hurriedly went back to the house and took out a small porcelain bottle: "Use this to wipe the corners of his forehead, this is a medicinal oil to relieve the heat." ”

When Mo Han heard it in the courtyard, he smiled and said loudly: "Don't trouble my aunt, I just gave the second young master a summer medicine, I'm afraid it will be fine after a while." ”

"It's rare for distinguished guests to come to the door, how can you be lazy?" Mother Lu found a few more tea fruits and changed the tea, "Chun'er is young and doesn't know the rules, how can she use white water to entertain guests?" This drunkenness, it's all because I drank too hard for a while, and I had an empty stomach, so it would be uncomfortable, if the young master doesn't dislike it, please give me a face, this is a good tea bought by Chun'er's uncle, we have always been reluctant to drink it, these snacks are also made by ourselves, and they are quite clean. ”

Mo Han glanced at it, and saw that the tea and snacks were not common road goods outside, so he nodded secretly, but only took the tea: "Thank you, auntie, it's just that the young master has already taken medicine and drank a lot of water, and if you drink it again, I'm afraid that it will make you upset." But I'm thirsty, and I beg my aunt to reward me with a cup? Chunying smiled and poured him a glass. He took a sip and praised several words: "Sure enough, it is worthy of the Qingguo Marquis Mansion, even the people below drink it is not ordinary, it is much better than what we drink at home." ”

Mother Lu smiled proudly, seeing that he was handsome, and his speech was pleasing, and he was only two or three years older than Chunying, so she pulled him to sit aside and talked, asking him how old he was, where his parents came from, and what his master's family name was. Only then did Chunying know that the mustache was really surnamed Hu, and his family was not simple, and he was a royal businessman who was responsible for purchasing jewelry.

This Hu Gongzi was dazed for a while, and gradually woke up, but he was still a little confused, Mo Han hurriedly stepped forward and waited for him to wash his face, he was more sober, and listened to the whispered report of the little girl, and immediately blushed: "This ...... It's such a faux pas......"

Lu's mother hurriedly said that it was nothing, and invited him to tea. But Hu Gongzi couldn't sit still with shame on his face, and saw that the sky was getting more and more gloomy, so he quickly took his leave, and whispered to Mo Han to remember the address.

Chunying packed up the tea set and heard her mother laughing quietly beside her: "I thought he was really an old man, and when I got closer today, I realized that he was still a child." ”

Chunying was a little surprised: "How do you say this?" ”

"It's just that he has a beard, but his face is white and tender, look at his hands, they haven't grown yet, I'm afraid they are only a little older than your sister." Mother Lu lifted the bamboo chair and wanted to return it, but suddenly found something on the chair, "Oh, did they drop it?" ”

Chunying saw that it was the sachet, although it was half-old, the embroidery was good, and it was decorated with a piece of jade, verdant, and she knew it was not a bargain at first sight. She hurriedly took the sachet and ran in the direction where the master and servant had left.
