Chapter 61, Lin Xiaochu's treat

Lin Xiaochu came to find Youcheng's daughter-in-law, and the warehouse of the tea set later came back. Because there were so many people inside that it was difficult to talk, Xiaochu asked a woman outside to talk to her daughter-in-law. Youcheng's daughter-in-law came out, not as enthusiastic as before. The smile was full, and the voice was also attentive, but a little estranged: "It's Xiaochu girl, sit in your room." It's as polite as sweeping the identityless women when they see the maids.

Seeing that Xiaochu refused to come in, Youcheng's daughter-in-law smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you very much. I cooked some delicious food at home, and I'm thinking of asking Xiaoman to send it to you. It's better not to look outside. Xiaochu smiled and whispered to her, "My sister-in-law, come here to talk."

He and his daughter-in-law went under the crooked old locust tree. Xiaochu explained his intention and said that he blamed himself: "I've been coming to tell my sister-in-law a long time ago, but I haven't been idle these days. I came here as soon as I had time. I'll treat you at noon tomorrow. I'll invite my sister-in-law and Xiaoman sister-in-law to come, so I also know someone. Xiaoman sister can also have a toast with her sisters.

Hearing the words word by word, the daughter-in-law smiled like flowers on her face and rushed Xiaochu to shout "Little Chu girl". This enthusiasm was the same as that of calling Xiaochu girl just now. Just now, it was business hospitality, and at this moment, I can't wait to be intimate: "Where did you get the money for the treat? Well, I'll pay half of it. I also know the people in the kitchen. I'll ask Xiaoman to help deliver tea tomorrow. There are still one or two good fruits for the Spring Festival at home. Youcheng's daughter-in-law helped Xiaochu plan to make a prize with an open smile.

Xiaochu was very calm and said with a smile, "Of course, my sister-in-law loves me. Just come tomorrow. If you pay for money, you will not show my heart as a little sister. This money can't be paid by my sister-in-law. It's just that it will arrive tomorrow, and you love me again. There is another sentence that I'm thinking. My sister-in-law has this money. It's better to take some stew from the stew. Send the little sister to our room earlier.

Under the old locust tree, the daughter-in-law took Xiaochu's hand and burst into tears. Lin Xiaochu thought for no reason from these tears that it would be glorious to enter the prince's room. Xiaochu curled his lips in his heart. No wonder the prince was arrogant. He felt that it was unusual to serve him and dared that these people were at the bottom here.

A few dozen steps have been made, and suddenly he smiled again. The lightning in her mind pushed out the thoughts of her daughter-in-law. When we first met, Youcheng's daughter-in-law was polite, enthusiastic and measured. That's why she was also arrogant. Li'er was good, but she must have thought that you first arrived and you couldn't leave us old people, so at the beginning, Youcheng's daughter-in-law still occupied the identity of an old man. Later, when he heard Xiaochu sincerely came to report the letter, you Cheng's daughter-in-law was the one who did her heart and soul.

Looking up at the blue sky, the weather of the first month is almost February. The sky is no longer gray in winter, but the blue sky is clear and clear. Alas, fortunately, I came to report the letter today, otherwise, it would be easy for a semi-familiar person to be more distant. If it's too late to report, it may not be rare.

Xiaochu doesn't know how the little man is, but it's better to find it than Jiaer. Back to the second door, someone was making noise. She is a well-dressed woman, dressed in blue with flowers and a blue skirt. The mothers who are in charge of the door are arguing: "Mom and aunts, think about it, my daughter Jiaer has been here for two or three years and has committed several things. Someone must have wronged her. Let me go into the theory."

was stopped and sighed: "The newcomer comes, the old man goes. My daughter is only a little hairy, so she was kicked out and howled all day long. This day is not a day. Xiaochu knew that this was Jiaer's mother, and the first reaction was to stand behind. Looking at her teeth and claws, she didn't want to go in and find me, did she?

Passing by the housekeeper Chu Youyi, this is Chunhong's father. Chu Youyi took two people and shouted, "The Erbao family, if you come back to make trouble, I will take you to see the second master." Jia'er's mother sat on the ground and began to cry: "My ancestors are also the ones who have served the old master for three generations. Look at the descendants who are only bullied and don't let us reason. The housekeeper came just in time and asked your daughter Chunhong to come out. I want to ask her that the new yellow-haired girl Jiaer is not familiar with her. Why did she testify to her and who instigated her to teach her?

Xiaochu was not looking for himself, but stood behind the tree to watch the bustle. The snow melted on the tree, and a awning of snow fell on my hair and slipped into my clothes coldly. Xiaochu was about to exclaim, but she was patted on the back, scaring her exclamation back into her stomach. Chunhen stood behind and whispered to Jiaer Niang, "Do you still dare to stand here? If she had known you, she would have come up to hit you.

Chu Youyi couldn't hear Jia's mother's talk and was being pulled away: "Give it to the second master." The two families pulled Jia'er's mother away. Xiaochu looked at it with relish and asked Chunhen, "Isn't she here to find me?" It's very reasonable to listen to the words, as long as the sound is spring red.

Chunhen sneered in his nose and joked, "If you don't believe it, try to report your name in front of her. This is a famous spicy person in the family. Chunhong and the housekeeper dare to find it, but she is afraid you won't make it. Xiao Chuyi was right, and he came in and went back to the room with Chunhen. After thinking about it, he was afraid of coming up, so he asked Chunhen, "Where are you going?"

Chunhen, who was holding something in his hand, said, "The prince is going to eat a steamed bun with vegetarian stuffing at the last minute and let me go to the kitchen. The person in the kitchen asked me to give this to the prince. Chunhen is holding something like an account book. Xiaochu said curiously, "What is this? Can I see it?" Chunhen hesitated for a moment before giving it to her: "You know words, don't you? If you understand, don't talk nonsense."

Xiaochu held it in his hand and looked at it. It was all recipes, yam cake, jujube paste porridge cake... Looking at the dishes below, deer fetal milk sheep and so on, Lin Xiaochu suddenly understood that this should be Mrs. Chu's daily diet. No matter how luxurious the ancients were, young people did not use things like deer fetal milk sheep, and were afraid of losing their lives. Prince, look at this? Lin Xiaochu returned the account book to Chunhen, and only guessed that Chu Huaixian was for filial piety to Mrs. Chu.

Walking more than ten steps away from the courtyard gate, Xiaochu stopped Chunhen and said in a discussion tone, "What do you think I'll treat tomorrow and tell the prince?" Chunhen said puzzledly, "Of course you have to tell the prince. Oh, you want to invite him to come, don't you?" Xiaochu nodded. It's better to please the prince in this house. Anyway, I won't add food. Besides, if you invite people in the room, the prince will not know that Xiaochu is from many families in Ning Shaoyi Village, and he may not come, or he does not need to add vegetables.

Chunhen came up with a good idea: "The prince won't sit with the girl. It's easy for you to please her. If you are at home tomorrow, you can just burn a pot of wine and send four plates of fruit. The prince loves elegance. The plate doesn't need to be big, just a three-inch white porcelain plate. The amount is large. You can spend some money on wine. The Jinhua wine you can handle is only one taels of silver and a jar. Many people in our yard like to drink wine.

This idea is really good. Xiaochu has heard of it and said to Chunhen: "Thank you for teaching me. Please have more drinks tomorrow." Chunhen is a hairy donkey, and people like her as soon as they praise her. What's more, "Sister Chunhong hates you. After all, her parents are housekeepers. You should respect her for a few cups tomorrow and untie this holiday..."

Xiaochu listened with a smile, and it was snowing outside. People who talked endlessly and listened attentively did not feel cold. Chunhen talked about the habits of everyone in the room and licked the little red lips happily and said, "That's all. Do you remember?" Xiaochu smiled and said, "I'll try my best to remember it. I'll forget it then. Please mention me more."

The two of them came into the yard, and Chunhen went back to Chu Huaixian's words. When the spring scar comes out, Xiaochu comes in. There was a bookcase at the window, and the shelf was full of books. Chu Huaixian sat next to the book without raising his head. Xiaochu saluted, and Chu Huaixian raised his eyes and said, "What's the matter?"

"I came here to be taken care of by the prince and the sisters and mothers in the room. I will invite the prince and everyone to sit down at noon tomorrow and ask the prince to enjoy it." Xiaochu said that Chu Huaixian's smile is getting stronger and stronger, and how much is he taken care of? Chu Huaixian likes to hear such words in Lin Xiaochu's mouth. Thinking that there is nothing wrong with tomorrow, he said happily, "It's hard to play once by chance. I'll bother you with three glasses of wine tomorrow, even if I go."

Chu Huaixian spoke so politely to a girl, and Lin Xiaochu was even more respectful. Respectfully, Chu Huaixian called Chunhen to come in: "Go out and tell Jin Xier that Master Hou has sent me a few jars of wine that haven't been used up yet, and asked him to bring a jar in." Chunhen went out, and Xiaochu smiled and thanked him. Chu Huaixian smiled and said, "I don't think your wine is bad, but ready-made."

Xiaochu blushed: "Since selling flowers, I owe it to the prince, and it is still unclear to this day." Chu Huaixian smiled and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "What's the food made for me? I'll be drunk tomorrow, and I'll be one day late." Lin Xiaochu said in a hurry: "I'm going now." Take this opportunity to come out and invite everyone in the room. There were people who went home or rested at night and asked others for help. Everyone said it must come.

At noon the next day, Dongran asked the women to lift two large round tables and put them in the lower room. Everyone sat at a table. Chu Huaixian sat in the room, and Xiaochu and Xiaoyi sent hot wine and fruits. Chu Huaixian let them go by themselves: "I'm going to pour out the fun myself. You don't need to be here." He holds a favorite scroll of poetry in his hand and holds a jade cup in his hand, and he is happy.

Xiaoyi told my sister when she went out: "You just treat people to eat. I come to see what the prince wants from time to time." Xiaochu stroked Xiaoyi's head and said, "Don't be hungry, just don't eat wine." Xiaoyi nodded and agreed, and the sister returned to the table. Pouring the first glass of wine, Xiaochu gave it to Chunhong first and smiled very kindly: "Sister Chunhong, please use a glass of water wine."
