Chunying and Li You huddled behind the bushes, and through the dense branches and leaves, they couldn't help but look at each other as they watched the second young master Li Chang walk in the direction of the hut where Zhou Nian lived.

Chunying asked, "What is he doing here?" Looking for ballast? ”

Li You said: "Where do I know? Again...... How did he know that Brother Nian lived here? ”

Chunying's eyes widened: "You said he didn't know?!" ”

"Of course!" Li You glanced at her with a stupid gaze, "This time the news was leaked, there is a good chance that the second brother did it, I heard my mother say that my father scolded him severely, but he seems to be unrepentant." He tilted his head and thought about it, and suddenly realized: "It must be the chief manager who told him!" Tsk, old fellow! ”

Chunying watched Li Chang walk to the edge of the hut from afar, Sanqing stepped forward to stop him, I don't know what to say, Zhou Nian came out, and actually welcomed Li Chang into the house. She began to worry: "The second young master won't come to bully Brother Nian again, right?" ”

"Let's go back!" Li You took the lead, covered his body with the help of flowers and trees in the forest, and crept back to the hut, and Chunying also followed up. Sanqing stood outside the door, looking at the house worriedly from time to time, and suddenly saw the sneaky appearance of the two of them, and his eyes widened. Chunying gestured to him with a "shhhh

Chunying followed behind Li You and bent over. When they went to the window, they only heard that there was no imaginary cynicism or insults inside, and to their surprise, the two people in the room were actually talking about poetry, and some were talking and laughing. It seems that the second young master has written a few small poems recently, I don't know if it's good or not, I think that there is a very talented young partner living in the garden, so I specially brought it to him to see. And when Zhou Nian read the poem, he naturally put a high hat on the second young master's head, which made him smile.

If it's the first time I've seen the two of them get along. Shape, Chunying would think that this was normal, but it was precisely because she had seen the second young master bullying Zhou Nian with her own eyes that she felt that she probably hadn't taken a nap and was too sleepy, so she hallucinated. Looking at Li You again, he also looked sluggish.

The conversation in the room continued. After satisfying his vanity, Zhou Nianchu put away the manuscript of the poem, and then squeaked a few words, before smiling and laughing: "Speaking of which, we haven't spoken well for many years, eh...... Childhood...... I don't know anything, and I always like to lose my temper, but with the friendship between our two families, I guess ...... You won't be surprised, will you? ”

Zhou Nian was a little unsure of his intentions, so he had to continue to hang on to his usual . Smiled and followed his tone, "How so?" After all, they have known each other for many years, and the two have always been good friends. ”

"That's right! That's right! Li Chang thought to himself that this guy still had a good look on his face, and the smile on his face. Rong is also getting bigger and bigger, "With the friendship between our two families, those small quarrels are nothing, we are also older, let's get along well in the future, don't make the elders angry." Don't listen to other people's nonsense and think that I have bad intentions, but in fact I am a very good talker. ”

Zhou Nian smiled and bowed his head, slightly realizing in his heart.

Li Chang didn't want to come in the first place, but he was persuaded by the scholar Nanqiu for two days, and felt that his words also made some sense, so he deigned to go like this. Seeing Zhou Nian so bright-eyed, he was satisfied, and he didn't want to stay in such a humble room for a moment, so he hurriedly went back to report to his father that he had "corrected": "I suddenly remembered that there was still an article that had not been written, and I wanted to ask my father to review it at night, so ...... I'll take my leave first, and I'll come back for advice later. ”

"Don't dare, you will sweep the couch. Greet. Zhou Nian got up to see off the guests, did enough courtesy, Li Chang casually arched his hand and left, before going out, he couldn't help but reach out and dust off the "dust" on his sleeves and hem, thinking that he wanted to go back to the courtyard to change into a clean clothes, but he didn't take two steps, and changed his mind, and decided to wear this "dirty" clothes to see his father, so as to prove that he had indeed reconciled with Zhou Nian, and asked him not to blame himself for this.

Seeing that Li Chang had walked away, Chun Ying poked her head out of the side of the house and glanced at Li You behind her, both a little puzzled. Li You frowned and walked into the hut, and when he saw Zhou Nian sitting on the chair in a daze, he said, "How can he be willing to give in to his temperament?" It's just because his father scolded him that he came to make a show! Don't trust him! ”

Zhou Nian smiled bitterly: "How could I not know? It's just that since he intends to reconcile, I can't refuse people thousands of miles away. ”

"Why not?!" Li You was a little disapproving, "I told my father everything about him bullying you, my father knows in his heart, you are reasonable for this matter, even if you drive him out, it should be, if you are worried that others will blame you for your poor manners, you just ignore him, why flatter him like this?!" He would never believe that you were saying polite words, but only thought that he was really Li Qinglian's second. ”

Zhou Nian just smiled bitterly.

Chun Ying's heart moved, and suddenly remembered that although the third young master was polite every time he saw Zhou Nian, he was polite and thoughtful, and he was regarded as a guest at a friend's house, but it was a fact that Zhou Nian lived in the Hou Mansion, and his identity was embarrassing, the Hou Ye could be said to have great kindness to him, and in the future, the Zhou family would be rehabilitated, and he would also use the power of the Hou Mansion. Under such a premise, in the face of Hou Ye's parent-child, even if he is unhappy in his heart, it is not easy to show a trace of dissatisfaction, right? Although he is friendly with the third young master, and the third young master is hostile to the second young master, it is not easy for him to get involved in the relationship between the young masters of the Hou Mansion, after all, he is an outsider.

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Nian is really not easy. Chunying looked at his thin figure and pale face, thinking that she had been taking care of his diet since last winter, and still hadn't been able to feed him fatter, it must have been because of too much psychological pressure, right?

She whispered to him: "Since the second young master is willing to reconcile, it is no better, it is nothing to praise him, as long as he does not come to you for trouble in the future, you can suffer less, it is better than anything else." ”

Zhou Nian's heart warmed, and he only felt that his internal organs were soaked in warm water, which was very useful. He looked at Chunying, this little girl who was seven or eight years younger than him, could understand his heart, which really moved him inexplicably. He nodded solemnly: "I think so too, and I also believe that the person who leaked the secret is not him, and he still has this bit of proportion." He turned to Li You: "Don't think he's too bad, if he wants to harm you, I believe it, but if he wants to harm the Hou Mansion, it's impossible." He will also be implicated if the Hou Mansion is convicted, without the Hou Mansion, what is he? He's not stupid, how can he not know this? ”

Li You was a little sullen in his heart, he felt very unhappy, he wanted to refute Zhou Nian's words, but the other party was reasonable, if he blindly blamed his brother, he fell down. He pursed his lips and stared at Zhou Nian aggrievedly, and when he saw that the other party was looking at Chun Ying again, and Chun Ying was actually smiling at Zhou Nian, he was even more depressed, and said in a low voice: "That's it, if he really reconciles, I don't care about him." I'm going to see my father, Chun'er! Let's go. ”

Chun Ying was stunned for a moment, then answered, said goodbye to Zhou Nian with a smile, and left with Li You. Along the way, Li You was quiet, as if she was thinking about something, and she asked curiously: "Third Young Master, where do you want me to follow?" "When Master Hou is at home, she is either in the study or in the main courtyard, no matter where she is, it is not a place where she can go casually, there is the road to Huanhuaxuan in front, where is the third young master going to take her?

Li You came to his senses at this time: "You go back, I'll go to my father and mother by myself to say goodbye." After saying that, he walked forward, Chun Ying felt that he was weird, and returned to Huanhuaxuan in confusion.

As soon as she entered the courtyard gate, she heard the little girls gathered in the villager's room shouting, she walked over and asked, only to know that the people in the township had bought the beads back. A large bag of glass millet beads, there are one or two hundred grains, mostly pink and purple, there are also red, green, yellow and blue, and two small bags of larger beads, all of which are faint pink, and a small bundle of thin copper wire.

Xiang'er took out a small pair of scissors and said, "This is the flower seller who used it to cut copper wires herself, and I borrowed it from us for the time being, and I have to return it when I go back, don't break it." Also, the 800 dollars are almost all used up, and only these few remain. She showed seven or eight copper coins in her palm, and Wisteria waved her hand absently: "We don't want it, you take it, just use it as hard-earned money." The villager smiled and put it away.

Shi'er picked up a millet bead and looked at it, and then twisted a copper wire: "Can you string it in?" This bead is so small, I'm really afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll fall to the ground and I won't find a single one. ”

Chun Ying leaned over and looked at it twice, and nodded in agreement. The millet beads are too big to say "rice", but they are two or three millimeters in diameter, and they are glass beads, but they are actually glass-burned, right? How did this burn out? It turns out that the craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty was also very developed.

Wisteria urged: "Shi'er, haven't you seen that flower seller doing this?" Come and show us! The other little girls also responded.

Shi'er tried to string the beads into the copper wire, but after stringing a few, he grabbed his hair, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I don't remember much, I twisted the copper wire out of the pattern, but how to ......twist it" Xia He hit her twice in frustration: "It's really useless!" ”

Chunying has some impressions of this kind of thing, Zhang Xiaomei seems to have made beaded gadgets, the principle should be similar, right? She tried to string a few pink millet beads with copper wire, twisted out a small petal, strung a few more, and then twisted another. Wisteria hurriedly came over to take a closer look, and Shi'er and Xia He also stopped playing and stared at her movements.

After a long while, Chunying finally strung a small single-layer flower, but it was a little crooked and not very good-looking. She smiled at the others, and Wisteria jumped up and sat back in her seat: "That's how it was, I see!" She did the same, and the other little girls began to do the same.

"What are you doing?" Manru came in from outside the door curiously, and when she saw the beads and copper wire scissors in the center of the bed, she smiled, "It turned out to be making bead flowers, when did you get these?" She looked left and right, took the one in Chunying's hand, and said with a smile: "This color is a good match, but it is not in a good shape, who dares to wear it on the head?" ”

Chun Ying shrank her hand in a daze, she also knew that she was not good-looking, but it was the first time for everyone, who was not a rookie?

Manru smiled and sat down on the edge of the bed, straightened the bead flower casually, and twisted a few more petals according to Chunying's original color, and felt different immediately. Chunying originally wanted to make a double-layered lotus flower that transitioned from pink to purple, but due to her poor craftsmanship, she always couldn't do it well, but after Manru's adjustment, the whole bead flower became what she imagined. She exclaimed in surprise: "Sister Cui is amazing! Have you done this before? ”

Manru smiled unnaturally: "I played when I was a child, but I didn't do it for a long time, and I gave birth to my hands." She cut the copper wire with scissors, folded the excess part in two and twisted it into a strand, and then inserted the flower into Chunying's head, and said with a smile: "How about looking in the mirror?" ”

Chunying immediately borrowed the mirror platform of the villagers to look at it, nodded with great satisfaction, and turned around, Manru was already making another one. It is also a pink and purple lotus style, just so that Chunying's double mustache can wear one on one side. Xia He saw that it was good-looking, and also entangled Manru: "Good sister, make me a pair too, I want pink, pink lotus!" Manru smiled and helped her string it up.

The little girls followed suit, and when the beads were almost used up, everyone had at least one. Chunying herself also made a pink and purple double-layered lotus flower, but in order to distinguish the flower core, purple beads were used, which were different from the pink beads of the pair of beads she wore on her head.

She handed the bead flower to Manru: "Thank you sister for making me the bead flower, this one can still be seen, sister take it to wear, it is a thank you gift." ”

Manru took it with a smile: "Then I'm welcome." She thrust the bead flower on her head, and the others looked at each other, and they all thought it was funny.

"You're too idle, aren't you? I'm lazy and don't work! Chen'er hugged her arms outside the window and snorted coldly, "Manru! The tea stove in the house is cold, and the clothes that the third young master wants to wear tomorrow haven't been brought back, what are you messing with the little girls?! ”

Manru said lightly: "It's your turn to burn the tea stove today, it shouldn't be my class, the third young master's clothes Sister Lanxiang has already asked someone to get them, hasn't she come back yet?" ”

Chen'er was suffocated, stomped her feet and turned her head to leave, and when she saw the third young master coming over, she immediately changed her smile: "Third ......"

Before the words fell, Li You had already passed her and came to the villager's room: "Are you stringing beaded flowers?" This is good, Ming'er asked Ping'an to buy some good beads, and everyone stringed a few for the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister and the third sister to play. After a pause, he smiled again: "The second brother is about to say goodbye, and when the matter is decided, you also have to prepare some meeting gifts." ”

Chunying asked, "Third Young Master, Second Young Master is going to say kiss?" "Whose young lady is so unlucky?

"yes." Li You smiled, remembering that he had seen the second brother's unwilling look at his mother just now, and he felt funny.

The second young master's family affairs were finally decided on the Miao family, and the Hou Ye and his wife An discussed which matchmaker to invite, and they were about to give gifts to invite each other, but Li Chang suddenly made a big incident, which shocked them.

Li Chang originally went out of the city with a few old friends, and met a female family on the road and frightened the horse, in order to save people, he rushed over very bravely, hugged people's small waists and turned twice, in front of many people, pushed the girl away, but he was knocked down by the horse, and afterwards he bled while comforting the young lady not to panic, and at the same time, he actually proposed that for the sake of the young lady's honor, he decided to marry the other party.

And that young lady is Mrs. Liang's **, the sister of Princess Ke, Liang Yue...
