The osmanthus tree under the window absorbs enough water, and the fat leaves shine green in the sun, and the scattered petals under the tree that are hit by the autumn rain are also a little fresh and comfortable. The whole Xu Mansion was shrouded in a half-sorrow and half-joy, happy that this generous reward and Brother Xu Ying finally did not have to marry An Liu's killing god, the worry was naturally that Brother Xu Ying had to marry a Tai Sui who had no score, and since then the Xu family has become a tiger rider.

Naturally, some people will worry about major events, and Brother Xu Ying only needs to take care of his own one acre and two points of land. After sending off the palace envoy, while the two grandmothers were invited by the Yao family to talk to the side, she hurried up to bring a cup of fragrant tea, sat on the bamboo recliner under the porch and admired the autumn light in the courtyard, took a pig's bristle and depicted the crickets in the ivory cage, and whispered to Qingyu: "You go to find the twins immediately, let him go to find the fifth master, just say that it is eventful, please be careful." Fuzhong will entertain guests after three days, and please don't forget it. "Since there are people watching the Bachelor's Mansion these days, I don't know if they have seen Xu Fu in it? Xu Heng was made a marquis, and many families came to congratulate him, in order to express his gratitude for the royal kindness, this banquet must be placed, and it was time to meet Xu Heng and talk about his heart.

Qingyu responded and hurriedly went outside to look for the twins.

Brother Xu Ying put down the teacup, put away the bristles, closed his eyes and lay down on the recliner relaxedly, and instructed the bell: "Come and pinch me." ”

"Whoa!" The bell responded crisply, stepped forward and stood behind Brother Xu Ying's hand and gently pinched it for her, Brother Xu Ying hummed twice comfortably, turned sideways, and motioned for her to pinch her waist: "Here." Probably flashed. ”

The bell squatted down, and replied softly while exerting his strength: "I was too busy to tell you yesterday, although there is no master in the Zhuangzi now, but Sister Zi Wei is well settled, and the two mothers-in-law who stayed to take care of her before you left did not follow the second lady and them back yesterday." There are fresh big chestnuts and green walnuts brought back, the chestnuts have been spread out to dry, Gu's mother asked, do you want to make chestnut cake or roast it? What about the green walnuts or take advantage of the freshness and deliciousness, the slave will call a little girl to come in and peel them for you to eat? ”

Brother Xu Ying said: "Put the chestnuts first, eat some green walnuts first." Eaten green walnuts. Take another sip of tea, it's really indescribably fragrant. ”

"Really?" Bell's eyes widened in disbelief.

Thinking of some happy and interesting memories in his previous life, Brother Xu Ying's lips "revealed" a sweet smile: "Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, you can try it immediately." ”

"What's that...... Carp, you come in and peel walnuts. The bell was deliberately fun, and "revealed" twelve points of joy. Then he saw the figure by the door, and his voice lowered: "Second lady, third lady is standing by the door." ”

Brother Xu Ying opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw Brother Li wandering back and forth alone in front of the courtyard gate, and after a slight thought, he knew what this little girl was doing. This little girl probably listened to the rumors in the house, and felt that she was sympathetic to herself. Fear again. also felt that he finally agreed to marry because Xu Shu was "forced" by death, so he added a little shame. Then he said: "Come in and eat walnuts and drink tea, what are you hiding there for?" ”

Brother Li cringed and walked in slowly, like a child who had done something wrong, holding a handkerchief and standing in front of Brother Xu Ying, before he could speak, his eyes were already red: "Second sister, I ......"

Brother Xu Ying waved his hand lightly. The bell took a chair and put it behind Brother Li, and smiled sweetly: "Third lady, please sit down." You have a mouthful, wow, our two ladies just came up with a fresh way to eat walnuts. And, you see, this cricket was only recently obtained from the palace. Without saying anything, he pressed Brother Li on the chair, poured a cup of fragrant tea and handed it over. Brother Li forgot to cry when he was interrupted by this, and he had to be busy dealing with the hot tea in his hand, and he was shocked by the beautiful ivory cricket cage and the crickets inside.

The little yellow 'hairy' girl can finally stand alone, Brother Xu Ying is very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Bell, I can consider giving you a monthly increase." ”

The bell cheered, and saluted Brother Li with a smile: "Thank you three ladies." ”

Brother Li said stupidly: "What are you thanking me for?" It's obviously the second sister who treats you well. ”

The bell smiled and said: "The second lady must be thanked, but the third lady must also be thanked." If you hadn't come over, how would the second lady know how good the maid was? ”

No matter how stupid Brother Li is, he knows that the master and servant don't want to see him cry and mention those things, so he forced a smile: "You mouth, if your second lady doesn't know how good you are, how can you be asked to serve in front of you?" ”

After a while, the girl offered freshly peeled walnuts, and Brother Xu Ying greeted Brother Li: "Taste, eat a bite of walnuts first, then take a sip of tea, and taste carefully, isn't it very fragrant?" ”

Brother Li lowered his eyes and felt it carefully, shook his head and said, "It's so fragrant." But it does smell good. After the two of them were talking nonsense in a mess, Brother Li couldn't hold back: "Second sister, I'm sorry." ”

Brother Xu Ying waved his hand and motioned for the girls to go down, and said gently, "You didn't feel sorry for me." There's no need to find yourself unhappy. Seeing that Brother Li was about to argue, he smiled and patted her hand gently: "Okay, I know you feel sorry for me." If you really can't bear me, you can make me two pairs of shoes and help me catch up with the dowry. ”

"Okay." Brother Li blushed his head and picked up the beautifully made ivory cricket cage and whispered, "How is it in the palace?" Have you seen the Queen? I heard that the grandmother from the palace is very fierce. My uncle's cousin interceded with her distant grandfather in the same clan last year, and she and the sisters of that family followed a grandmother who came out of the palace to learn the rules, and she was physically punished at every turn, and her hands were swollen. ”

That's because people bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, and they use the poor relatives who "rub" them as targets for serious people. Brother Xu Ying sighed and said, "I guarantee that no one will dare to beat you casually, the opportunity is rare, you can follow and learn." You are not young, your courage is always so small, you cry at every turn, what will you do in the future? Don't say anything about it, others bully you, you have to know how to fight back. ”

Brother Li hesitated a little, thought for a long time and then whispered, "Okay." I won't lose the face of my second sister, and of course, I don't want them to bully you. ”

Qingyu walked in from the outside and nodded at Brother Xu Ying from a distance, Brother Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and completely collapsed on the chair: "I'm tired, the third sister will go back first." ”

At night, the big girl Coral next to Sun's side sent half a catty of blood swallows, a secret recipe for preparing balm and a few "medicine" prescriptions commonly used at home. It is said that the balm was Sun's favorite when he was young, fragrant but not greasy, and extremely delicate and moisturizing, and the skin will be whiter and more delicate after a long time. Brother Xu Ying was not interested in the blood swallow, but he was really interested in the balm recipe, so he sat under the lamp with the quilt and studied it, and confirmed that it was really healthy and natural, so he happily accepted the dowry that should have belonged to Brother Li.

The night breeze is silent, and the few flickering cold stars on the horizon make the night sky more and more far-reaching. Xu Fu sat in the workshop behind the Hehe Building, silently watching an old craftsman pull a piece of red gold over and over again until it was a gold thread thinner than a human hair. The old craftsman brought the gold wire close to the bright butter candle, smiled at Xu Fu with satisfaction, and "revealed" the gums that had been missing a front tooth.

Xu Fu's eyes were slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Chi." ”

The old craftsman smiled slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "What does the craftsman say about hard work?" Do you have to get out before February? ”

"It's better to be sooner rather than later, but you can't lose your level, the more refined the better." Xu Fu's eyes were gloomy. Brother Xu Ying's wedding date is roughly said to be set in the spring, in fact, Qin Tianjian has not yet picked a date, and Xu Heng will probably find a way to delay it a little longer, but this dowry always has to be prepared early.

He never thought that his sister would marry into the prince's mansion, so the dowry he had prepared before would be too thin. Calligraphy, paintings, ancient books and the like were to be searched for and prepared when he was a child, and he really couldn't make up for it, so he only tried his best to give Brother Xu Ying the best and the most in this gold and silver thing. But that's not enough, he disappointed his parents, he didn't take good care of Brother Ying, if he hadn't asked Brother Ying to join in the revenge against the Cui family, and chose a good family for her early, she should have been married by this time, where would it have ended up like this? But in this world, where will there be any ifs? So far, he is powerless, he is willing to die for his sister, can he drag the Xu family to die with him?

"It's fast, it's good, it's going to be very good, who is the owner going to give it to?" The old craftsman fiddled with the glittering gems and jadeites in the brocade box, and looked deeply at Xu Fu, who suddenly seemed to be a few years older and had a lot of gray hair.

Maybe it was too big a blow, maybe it was too late at night, but somehow, Xu Fu had a lot of talk in front of this old man who had high skills and had been by his side since the beginning of the building, and who was very trusted by him. He looked at the butter candle that was a little beating and whispered, "It's to make a dowry for the second sister of my uncle's family." She was only given a marriage to King Kang's mansion today...... Third Master. ”

The old craftsman's gray eyebrows shrugged: "Is that the second lady of the bachelor's mansion who often draws the style of drawings?" Good girl, this is the dignity and glory that deserves. ”

You all know something! Xu Fu suddenly had a sour nose, and tears almost burst out of his eyes.

The hidden door was suddenly knocked lightly twice outside, and the little maid Layue whispered timidly: "Fifth master, the fourth master of the Zhao family is here." ”

Xu Fu lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time, and finally "forced" back his tears, slowly raised his head to look at Layue and said, "Lead him to the study on the second floor and wait for me." ”

"Yes." Seeing the cold light flashing in his eyes, Layue was so frightened that she shrank in fear, and she didn't dare to stay at all, so she hurriedly went outside.

"Uncle Chi, it's late at night, you can rest. Tomorrow I'll assign you a few more good helpers. Xu Fu stood up slowly, walked out of the workshop with his back slightly bent, slowly went up to the second floor, and slowly pushed open the door of the study.

Zhao Huang was a little panicked, quickly stood up from the stool, and looked at him with some fear: "Fifth brother, I ......"

Xu Fu didn't say a word, and his blood-red eyes were punched hard at his face.
