The Chu family's courtyard, although the name sounds like it belongs to the Chu family's mansion, but in fact, it is not the case at all, everyone in Lingfeng City knows that this is the property of the second young master of the Chu family himself, but whenever he quarrels with the old lady of the Chu family, or is kicked out, or takes the initiative to throw his sleeves out of the house, he will live here, of course, the quarrel between their father and son has almost reached the realm of a small quarrel on three days and a big quarrel on five days, it can be said that it is continuous all year round, and there is a tendency to become more and more intense, and this courtyard has become the permanent residence of Chu Ershao.

Therefore, when the white-clothed man came to the door to ask to see, the porter of the Chu family was not much surprised, and thought that it was who came to his young master to drink flower wine, shouted, and sent someone to report inside, and continued to sit in the shadows and shake the fan, although the weather is not hot, but the young master of his own family carries a fan all the year round, and the slave can't help but follow the learning, and after a long time, he actually feels more relaxed.

The boy in white stood in front of the door with the little servant, seeing the porter's posture like this, his face darkened all the way, it was rare to get better, and even faintly smiled with two points, and Anzi, who was behind him, secretly wiped the beads of sweat, and slandered the master in his heart, suddenly angry and happy, so that he couldn't figure it out.

Soon, before the tea was done, the two extravagant doors carved with nanmu actually "squeaked" and opened widely.

The porter was startled, jumped up from his chair, and didn't know that the fan in his hand had fallen off. No wonder he was so panicked, the gate of this courtyard, even if his old lady came, he had never opened it, so angry that the old lady stood in front of the door and scolded three times "son", and then never came, I remember that the excuse of the second young master at that time was that it was too difficult to open the door. However, why did it suddenly open today, who opened it wrong, or is this white-clothed man a noble master and servant?

Then didn't he slack off just now, the porter's face immediately turned white, and his sharp eyes saw that the boy was shining by the sun for a long time, his forehead was slightly sweaty, and he quickly took out the handkerchief in his arms, and handed it to him flatteringly, but unfortunately, the man in white shook his head with a light smile, and the porter had to say a few good words, and his master had already come out of the door.

Chu Gehuan strode across the threshold, raised his eyes at a very impressive white shirt, and the eldest mother with beautiful eyebrows, a surprise suddenly burst out in his eyes, and he laughed, "Brother Bai, I haven't seen you for two years, and you have always been good?" ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward, ignoring the surprise of a few pedestrians on the road and the porter servant, and hugged the man in white fiercely, and the smile on the face of the man in white was even stronger, patted him on the shoulder a few times, and then said, "Okay, don't hug it, be careful of your romantic reputation, plus a sentence that men and women are not taboo!" ”

Chu Ge laughed even louder, "I'm afraid that my reputation will not be cleared in this life, but I will even cause Brother Bai to follow me to make a name for myself." ”

Bai Zhanpeng turned around and looked at the passers-by who were whispering timidly not far away and the stunned Chu family members, and shook his head helplessly, "Brother Chu Xian, you are still so narrow-minded. ”

Chu Ge smiled and led Bai Zhanpeng into the door, "The capital is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, but Brother Bai has asked me." Rest assured, they are not criticizing the relationship between you and me, they are curious about why my door is open. ”

"Open doors? What does this mean? Bai Zhanpeng asked with a smile, but Chu Gehuan refused to answer, entered the courtyard, sat in the flower hall, poured him warm tea with his own hands, and asked rhetorically, "Brother Bai, is this the boredom of finally living in Tongcheng, and coming out to walk around, or is it because of business, this Lingfeng City is also my territory, just tell me if you have something." ”

"Don't worry, I won't be polite if there is something, this time I am not here for business, but to visit friends." Bai Zhanpeng took a sip of tea and breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he was going to spit out all the stuffiness all the way.

"Visiting friends? Brother Bai's friend, I think it must be a very rare character, Brother Bai might as well talk about it, maybe this person also knows the younger brother. Chu Gehuan asked with a smile, thinking in his heart, in case Bai Zhanpeng's friend was a down-and-out person, he would not be able to say that he would have to help and take care of him more in the future.

Back then, he fell out with the old man, and went out alone with five hundred taels of silver, met robbers on the road, and almost took his life, fortunately Bai Zhanpeng passed by, saving his life, not to mention, but also for him to become a good deal, making a lot of money, the property in his hand is saved with that money as the foundation, he is no longer messing around, and then @ uninhibited, this kindness he always remembers in his heart, always thinking about what to return one day, but I didn't expect that he really waited for such an opportunity.

Bai Zhanpeng thought of the low shop on the dock, raised his eyebrows slightly, and shook his head slightly, "You must not know you, let's talk about it when I find someone." ”

Chu Gehuan wisely didn't continue to ask any more, and called Wangcai outside the door in a loud voice, "Tell me to go down and have a banquet!" ”

Bai Zhanpeng stopped him, "No need, I ate at the dock restaurant just now." ”

"Dock eateries?" Chu Gehuan remembered that there was only one restaurant on the dock, and naturally thought of the woman who always made him suffer, and couldn't help asking, "The Zhao family's riverside residence?" ”

Bai Zhanpeng heard that his voice was different, and the hand holding the teacup was a meal, and asked, "Have you been there?" Or is it familiar with the Zhao family? ”

Chu Gehuan's face was a little strange, "Although I have only been there once, I am quite familiar with the owner of the shop, no, to be exact, I am familiar with the proprietress of the shop." ”

Bai Zhanpeng's face immediately darkened, Chu Gehuan's romantic temperament was very clear to him, but any woman who was familiar with him could never be innocent, he was familiar with the proprietress, wouldn't he... Thinking about it again, I thought about what I saw at the dock just now, that woman had an ordinary appearance, a timid and cowardly temperament, how could it be impossible for Chu Gehuan to be seen in her eyes?

"Are you acquainted with that lady? Why? ”

Chu Gehuan couldn't understand why Bai Zhanpeng was so interested in the proprietress, but it was a little troublesome to clarify his relationship with Ruixue, so he smiled and said, "Because of some trivial things, I have dealt with them." Brother Bai asked like this, it can't be that your friend has something to do with this boss lady, right? ”

He guessed casually, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart, but he didn't expect Bai Zhanpeng to nod, "My friend mentioned in his letter that he has already married a wife and started a family here, and the riverside residence on the dock is his family's property." ”

"You mean Mr. Zhao of Yunjia Village?" Chu Gehuan was completely shocked at this time, he originally planned to go to the poetry club tomorrow, meet this sick man, see what kind of character he is, and actually get the woman to treat him with affection, but he didn't expect that he was actually a friend of Brother Bai!

"You know Feng... Brother Zhao? How is he doing now? Bai Zhanpeng had been responsible for half a year, and at this time, he heard that Chu Gehuan knew Zhao Fengnian, how could he still bear it, and hurriedly asked him what he was most concerned about. The uncertain medical saint has not yet been found, if Zhao Fengnian really has a good one, he may only be able to watch him die.

Chu Gehuan's face was strange, and finally he shook his head helplessly, "I just know this person, I haven't seen his face, but I heard that tomorrow is by the dock, he is going to hold a poetry party, if Brother Bai wants to see him, I can accompany you for a walk." ”

Running a poetry party? There is such leisure and leisure, I am afraid that his body is fine, Bai Zhanpeng was relieved, and then when he thought of the peasant woman, he was still a little depressed, and said in a low voice, "I saw the restaurant proprietress really... Vulgar, it is difficult to be worthy of Brother Zhao in case? ”

"Poof!" Chu Gehuan was drinking tea, and when he heard the word "vulgar", he squirted out a mouthful of tea, how could such a delicate and noble woman get such an impression in Brother Bai's mouth?

He wanted to say that the Zhao family's sick seedlings were not worthy of such a good woman, but unfortunately, the famous white brother who protected the short did not necessarily be able to listen to it, so the words of the exit became, "Okay, tomorrow I will bother the virtuous brother." ”

The two gossiped a few words, Chu Gehuan instructed Wangcai to arrange the best guest room, and sent Bai Zhanpeng to rest, leaving Chu Gehuan standing alone in front of the window, his face flickering and darkening, and finally there was only a light sigh, this world is really unpredictable, what is so strange about this Zhao family's sick seedlings, how can Bai brothers be so mutual and so important...

The day of the poetry meeting was set on March 26, and everyone was originally worried that the spring rain would follow the fun, but as a result, the sky was beautiful, and the sun climbed up to the top of the east mountain in the morning, which was exceptionally brilliant, and it was really a rare good weather.

Ruixue got up early, took Zhang Dahe and Gao Fuquan in the workshop, and was busy for more than an hour before making the tofu that needed to be used in the customized recipe, according to the degree of age and tenderness, divided into three types, and carefully loaded into the car.

Sister-in-law Zhang, Cui Niang, and Cuilan rushed back from Dongshan, carried three baskets of wild vegetables that were so fresh that they were still stained with dew, and said with a smile, "Sister, the fattest and tender purses, toons and pig ear vegetables each picked a basket, is it enough?" ”

Rui Xue wiped her hands and said with a smile, "Enough, if the number of people who come by then exceeds expectations, I will go to the mountains to pick again." Breakfast is made in the kitchen, haven't everyone eaten, let's set off with a cushion on the stomach. ”

Everyone was not polite, they got up and rushed over, but the house was still cold and cold, and no one had eaten.

The breakfast table of the Zhao family is rare to have such a lively time, but fortunately, the japonica rice porridge is boiled a lot, and the egg cakes are also very good, which is enough for everyone to eat.

Wu Yu, Heizi and Da Zhuang secretly looked at Rui Xue while eating, their eyes were pitiful, and they wanted to beg to join in the fun, but they also knew that this was a big deal, if they got into trouble at the poetry meeting, wouldn't it ruin everyone's preparation for many days?

Rui Xue looked at each other and laughed in her heart, she originally planned to let them go with her to see the world, so she said, "You three, don't frown, if there is nothing at home, let's go to the dock to have a good time." ”

"Really, can we really go?" Da Zhuang and Kuroko almost jumped up with joy, and asked again as if they didn't believe it.

At this time, Zhao Fengnian also spoke, "It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles." Follow me to the poetry club to start, see the world, and see what a real scholar and a real genius look like? ”

The two children immediately stood up respectfully and saluted, their little faces flushed with excitement, and even Wu Yu smiled and threw food into his mouth. Sister-in-law Zhang smiled, "Shopkeeper, who should be left in the workshop to take care of it?" ”

Zhao Fengnian saw that Zhang Dahe and Gao Fu were all looking at him with a smile, and guessed that they must also want to go, so he said, "The family is entrusted to Second Uncle Yun to take care of, and you should all go with you to help." ”

Qian Heitan sat at the bottom and said while drinking porridge, "My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, so I won't go, I'll take care of the yard." ”

And all the people thought it was good, and after carefully discussing many miscellaneous matters, they dispersed to prepare.

Cui Niang asked Aunt Yun to help take care of the two little ones, and Sister-in-law Zhang sent them to her mother-in-law's house, and then everyone changed into new clothes that they rarely wore once on weekdays, and they were as happy as the New Year.
