Chapter 376, Old Garden
The wind blew the white magnolia leaves gently. Chu Huaixian held Xiaochu tightly under the tree and pasted it in Chu Huaixian's arms. People with two children lingered under this tree.
Xiaochu thought about the past in a trance and couldn't tell whether it was secluded or satisfied. He sighed and said in a low voice, "Son."
"I'm here," Chu Huaixian smiled and stroked Xiaochu's hair in the wind.
Laughter came, and Brother Yu and Brother Ji came together. When Xiaochu was about to leave, Chu Huaixian didn't let her go: "Son, what are you afraid of?" With this, Xiaochu only let go a little, or half hugged her shoulder and watched her sons come together.
Two bamboo horses dragged, and Brother Yu and Brother Ji turned around the pavilion and ran over with their hands smiling. Chu Huaixian smiled and said, "The two sons are almost right. They can be partners."
No matter how good it is, how good it is, how much it is, how can we play together all day long?
"Brother Yu doesn't look like a brother. Brother Ji treats him too much as a brother and learns from him all day. He can't wait to say every word in front of him like Brother Yu."
When Xiaochu said this, the two sons ran to him: "Look at my bamboo horse, how are you?"
"My best. It was made by my uncle.
Chu Huaixian simply said, "Go and play with your uncle." Brother Yu and Brother Ji ran away with a smile. Their voice came from the wind. It was the bigger Brother Yu who said first: "They play by themselves and don't take us."
"Then I'll take you to play." Brother Yu's voice seemed to be accompanied by a nod. Brother Yu stopped doing as soon as he heard it, and his little face was black again in his voice: "I'll take you to play. I'm my brother."
Three-year-old brother Ji didn't allow: "Then you," paused for a moment before he came up and said, "I just had a snack. You ate an extra piece." Brother Ji accused, "You are not a brother, you are a younger brother, right!"
Chu Huaixian and Xiaochu looked at each other and smiled. Chu Huaixian said to Xiaochu, "This careless son is from your carefree life."
"Half is yours," Xiaochu smiled and took Chu Huaixian's arm. Chu Huaixian took the first child to the first time: "Let's play by ourselves and give grandma a worry-free one."
The couple looked at each other with a smile: "It's your fault that you don't have children, right?"
"It must be you."
"These two came quickly before, how did they come from?"
"Think about it and remember that there is a prize."
In the wind, there was such a low conversation like them...
Chu Taifu is still in the official position, and it was a big sensation when he came back. Since that day, there have been countless people sending posts and things. The next day, relatives came to worship; on the third day, people from outside the city came to worship.
Lord Taifu didn't see much, and the rest went to see Chu Huaixian. Xiaochu was not spared, and Mrs. Chu also felt tired. The women's relatives went to see Xiaochu.
There is a saying, "Rich and noble do not return to their hometown, just like a night walk in clothes." When Xiaochu sat among these ladies, he inevitably remembered the time when he sold flowers. Sometimes she thinks that in the envious eyes of others, is it that the clothes are not night?
It's been five or seven days since I came back, and I couldn't be idle to see guests. In a blink of an eye, it was Qiu Liang, and Xiaochu called Xiaoyi: "Go to see the fifth aunt. People always don't come to pick her up."
Xiaoyi said, "The fifth aunt said that you are different now, and I'm afraid of humiliating you."
When he went out, Sun Erhai was excited: "Is the previous restaurant still there?" Xiaochu white-eyed and said, "Is the place where you chased me back then?"
Sun Erhai didn't seem to see Xiaochu's eyes: "Yes, I said to the shopkeeper, where are you? It was the place when Mrs. Chu was in trouble. Do you want to circle it up and let you think about it later?"
Xiao Chu and Xiaoyi raised their faces together: "Do you really think you are a matchmaker? Hurry up with your car."
The closer to the old land, the more touched it was. Everything with Chu Huaixian seems to be born like this.
Villages, streets, and fields are still the same as before. Only Mrs. Chu Lin Xiaochu became unchangeable. The flower girl who covered her body in old clothes is now a well-dressed person.
Following two families in front of the carriage, Duofu stayed in Beijing, Jincai took a man and came out with Xiaochu. The carriage stopped in front of Xiaochu's old house and asked Xiaochu to "Go in and have a look?"
"This house has been sold." Xiaochu is not without sadness. Jin Cai smiled and said, "Mr. I bought it again." Xiaochu was very surprised and Xiaoyi and stretched out his head together: "What!"
Xiaoyi held her head and said, "Oh, sister, you met me." Xiaochu's tears came out, but he was still laughing: "Xiaoyi, you also met me."
A car door is so big that two people stretch out their heads together and can't touch it.
Since it's your own, Xiaochu is happy to look at it. The peach tree in the yard was also still there. Xiaoyi held the tree and thought of the land: "This tree was planted by the land brother."
"Your brother-in-law hasn't been checked, and there is no such person in the army." Speaking of the place, Xiaochu was gloomy and smiled again: "But don't worry, your brother-in-law has asked people to check the list of deaths over the years, and there is no place."
When Xiaoyi heard that he couldn't find it, he had cried several times. Now when he listened to it again, tears were clear and he stubbornly said, "No, he must still be there. I know, I just know."
"Kid, don't quarrel with me. In my heart, I also think he must be there." There is still a word that Xiao Chuxin didn't say. If he changes his name, maybe he is still there, or maybe he is on the death list. And the worst is that after some soldiers are killed, there is not even a commendation.
The peach trees in the old yard are clean. Jin Cai said, "Since I came back, the prince has asked people to clean it every day, waiting for the young lady and the little girl to come back to have a look."
The carriage enters the village from people, and it is inevitable that there will be a shock. In the afternoon, matchmaker Qian came out of her yard with her sleepy eyes and said to the children walking in front of the yard, "What's the noise? You don't sleep, little mud legs, I still have to sleep."
Xiaochu couldn't bear to smile. Sometimes he misses here, and the curse of the money matchmaker is also missing. Today, when he saw the old things and heard the old scolding, Xiaochu took a deep breath and came back.
As soon as half of this breath was inhaled, the money matchmaker's exaggerated cry sounded: "Ouch," accompanied by this sound, and her fat hands patted her thighs with a "poof". Xiaochu and Xiaoyi grinned and smiled. Hearing the money matchmaker strode over, she was as happy to see her relatives: "Young lady is back, alas Yo, it's true. Young lady,"
People only ran halfway, and only half of their words came out. The money matchmaker cried out: "You know, I want to look forward to it every night, and I miss you."
Xiaochu and Xiaoyi couldn't help laughing. Looking at the matchmaker who ran out of her yard and ran to this yard to this door, she was suddenly stunned: "Sun...Sun Erhai?"
The matchmaker Qian was about to burst into tears. She was all scared back when she saw the clothes of her family in front of Sun Erhai, holding a horse whip in her hand: "Lao Sun."
Sun Erhai stood in the cool autumn weather and quietly looked at the money matchmaker shaking the fat on her face with an expression of disbelief: "It's me. Hello, Qian's."
Sun Erhai's svenility at this time greatly eased the surprise of the money matchmaker. She quickly looked at the little sister and immediately understood. Hurry up and squeeze out the tears again and come to Xiaochu: "Ah, young lady..."
Xiaochu and Xiaoyi whispered, "I told you that two officials cry like small songs. Just listen to her.
High-pitched, can catch up with Qinqiang.
"Young lady, you're finally back. You know me, I miss you so much." The matchmaker cried like this, which made Xiaochu and Xiaoyi cry cold. Xiaochu stroked his arm: "Why is it colder in this yard than at home?"
Although the voice muttered, the money matchmaker also picked up and wiped her tears with a smiling face: "That's right. No matter how good it is, it's not as good as the Chu family."
Xiaochu didn't look at her, but looked at the fifth aunt's yard: "Why didn't anyone come out?" The money matchmaker was rushing to talk, and Jincai bowed and said, "I'll go and have a look."
Money matchmaker quickly grabbed a sentence with a smile on her face: "This little housekeeper is really good." Xiaochu frowned and said, "Don't scare people." Matchmaker Qian quickly followed again: "Little housekeeper, the young lady told you not to be scared." Then he said, "I'm afraid of such a majestic housekeeper."
Jin Cai came to the fifth aunt's house and knocked on the door politely: "Excuse me, is anyone at home?" He asked twice in a low voice, but no one answered.
Sun Erhai knew it was like this and followed Jin Cai and said, "Look at me." He kicked the door and shouted, "Is there anyone?" The tax collector is coming.
Jin Cai smiled and punched Sun Erhai on the shoulder: "There's really you, Lao Sun." Xiaochu came in anxiously with Xiaoyi and blamed Sun Erhai together: "You are fooling again!"
Just now, Sun Erhai, who was fierce and evil, immediately turned into a sheep, with grievance on his face, retreated to the side of the carriage. He seems to be very sad to the autumn wind.
He really works this time, and the fifth aunt came out urgently: "Here, come, who is it?" When she came out, the fifth aunt was stunned and stopped there motionless.
Xiao Chu and Xiaoyi, standing through the fence door, shed tears together and cried, "Fifth aunt." The fifth aunt also patted her hands on her body, said, "Ouch" and hurried to open the door: "Xiaochu Xiaoyi, you are back."
Matchmaker Qian came to Sun Erhai at this time and sneered at him: "Sun, you are majestic now." She will also pretend to be wronged. The matchmaker looked at it, and her eyes were about to fall off.
Is this still the previous Sun Erhai who dominated the streets?
Sun Erhai smiled and said, "You don't have to say more about the Qian family."
The fifth aunt has opened the door of the courtyard and dared not get close to Xiaochu and Xiaoyi. Looking down at his old clothes, the fifth aunt said, "Don't stain your embroidered clothes."
Xiaochu and Xiaoyi ignored her, holding her left and right, and scrambling to ask her, "Okay?" Xiaoyi came to see it once and said proudly to her fifth aunt: "Look, I said it. My sister will definitely come to see you."
The fifth aunt smiled, but she shed tears, wiped her apron with her apron and said to Xiaochu, "I know you are nostalgic, but people like me will humiliate you to see you. I have received everything you sent every year. I heard that you have two brothers, and I like them so much that I can't sleep. How's your brother?"
"Okay, I'm energetic all day long. I'm tired of their girls, but they're not tired." Xiaochu said that the fifth aunt smiled happier: "Boy, that's it."
Let Xiaochu and Xiaoyi go into the room. To the more decorations in the room, the fifth aunt said gratefully, "I bought a lot of money you sent." There is a small basket on the table, which contains small hundreds of clothes.
"For the little brother, hundreds of clothes can avoid disasters. When I heard that you came back, I rushed to sew. In the past, when you were in Beijing, you couldn't be taken away even if you did it. It will be funny to bring this out-of-the-go thing. The fifth aunt said, and hurriedly asked Xiaochu, "Is your husband good to you and your parents-in-law good to you?" Saying that you got married, I inquired carefully, like there are many people in the three rooms. Do you usually feel idle?
Facing such concerns, Xiaochu smiled and said, "It's already good for me not to provoke idleness." The fifth aunt was stunned: "Ah, what do you say?"
Xiaoyi added: "My sister is in the Chu family, which is very majestic. Right, sister," Xiaochu smiled at her: "How can you know?" Xiaoyi scratched her head: "You have to say it yourself before the fifth aunt can rest assured. Right, fifth aunt."
"Xiaoyi, right? It was learned from the prince." Xiaochu learned Xiaoyi's words: "You are the best at pleasing your brother-in-law now, and you will run away if you have something to do, right, brother-in-law."
Little girl hey hey hey.
