Now the only grandchildren is Xu Hu, who has not yet started a family and a career, is a sensible and obedient person, and he is handsome. The old lady has always loved him very much. Unfortunately, not only is he a illegitimate child, but also has a weird temperament and cannot please the elders, so the old lady has never been with him.

When the family reunited at Linxia Pavilion, the old lady remembered Xu Hu and asked Yuelan to bring him over.

After Xu Hu came, he knelt down to pay his respects. Liu said, "This child always doesn't say anything, and no one knows what he is thinking. It took one day to sit there, and another day to stand there. Apart from studying, he is just stupid, which is really worrying."

The old lady couldn't help but worry, and took Xu Hu's hand and said, "Or don't move to me, so there are so many people here."

Xu Hu shook his head and said, "Studying is important. Besides, children are not used to living in the inner house. It is inconvenient for too many girls."

The old lady was very happy to hear this and smiled and said, "Good boy."

Sitting in the wife's seat, An Fei looked at Xu Hu's appearance carefully, and upholding the excellent bloodline of many handsome men and beautiful women in the Xu family. Yushu was in the wind and asked Xiao privately: "How is Hu Ge'er like this child?"

Xiao said, "There is no need to mention the character of theirs. They are stronger than my son in their generation. They are the most nerdy and humble gentleman who is old and mature."

Concubine An shook her head slightly, not knowing whether her daughter likes too honest scholars. Based on the experience of experienced people, she was afraid that the husband would not know how to be gentle, and even when she was with her wife, she was serious and boring.

The old lady here ordered: "I asked your third brother to take you to play, and I would go to the fun with my sisters and girls, and no one was allowed to scare him." She also ordered the girl: "Look at him, talk to him all the time, don't be stupid."

Zhu Qiaoqiao's table was all sisters-in-law, so as her brother-in-law, she naturally couldn't play with her. Xu Hao led Xu Hu to the tables of Xu Cuiliu and Zhu Xianyuan. The maid Xiuchun brought a cup of chopsticks and a pot of sweet wine, and lowered her head to walk out.

Xu Hao asked casually: "Where are you going?"

Xiuchun is one of the most recent girls who have entered Daoxiangju. She turned around and said, "Look at my godmother."

"Say hello to my mother."

After Xu Hao finished speaking, he started talking to Xu Hu. Xu Hu sat in a regular manner, and didn't dare to look at Zhu Xianyuan with a beautiful appearance. Xu Cuiliu looked interesting and deliberately teased him with words. After a while, Xu Hu's sweat flowed down his forehead. Zhu Xianyuan on the opposite side felt a little restrained in her behavior compared to her casual manner when she was with Xu Jiang.

Xiuchun went downstairs, greeted Musk Yue Zhiqing and others who were eating mats on the first floor, picked up the food box prepared in advance, and left Linxia Pavilion. He walked step by step out of the garden along the passage.

At the Chuhuamen, he heard the name of the four happy couples who were on duty at night and took the wooden sign. When he passed by the main hall of the outer house, he heard the crowds of people inside, and a large group of men cheered and ate wine and listened to operas. Thirty-four servants set off fireworks in the alley.

The fire tree and pear blossoms, from time to time, a monkey roared into the night sky. Xiuchun moved slowly against the wall with fear, fearing that he would be blown up by a second kick. The servant Li San helped her lead the way in front. Finally, he walked around the front hall and entered the west side of the inner house, handed a wooden sign, and the woman in charge waved her hand and put her in.

It turns out that most widows or married couples live here. The Xu family men will send their wives in to live without their homes when they are working together. This is the Ming Dynasty single dormitory, which is also a forbidden place for men to come in. Especially in the messy moments like the festival, the Xu family's portals are more tight and the reward is three times that of daily life.

Xiuchun walked into Grandma Sang's yard and shouted, "Godmother, aren't you better today? I'll see you are here."

Grandma Sang in the room replied, "Is it Miss Xiu? Thank you for thinking about it, come and see me again."

Xiuchun walked into the house and saw Sang Xinbing sitting on the kang, looking a little embarrassed. Grandma Sang lay on the kang and said, "Your brother is thinking about me, and repeatedly begged Grandma Shu Er and Grandma Si Xi. She and her two of them let him in and see me through personal favors. What are you going to give me?"

Xiuchun said: "It's a bowl of cold sea cucumbers, braised duck, steamed sea bass, and two pots of orange wine that have been aged for a few years."

Grandma Sang was born with greed and said happily: "Come over and help your sister quickly."

Sang Xinbing hurriedly went over and took the food box and placed it on the kang table. Xiuchun helped her godmother sit up. The three of them sat next to each other and talked to each other for a while.

The servant who came with Xiuchun was named Li San, who was Li Dong's distant nephew. Si Xi deliberately asked him to accompany him, worried that the road would slippery.

Grandma Sang winked, and Xiuchun said to Li San knowingly: "You go back first, I'll sit for a while and leave. If someone comes to me, you just say you don't know. Let me spend more time with my godmother."

Li San agreed, Grandma Sang gave him a hundred literary treasures, sent the person away, and took Xiuchun's hand and said, "Child, my godmother has a long-term word to tell you, there is no time left. It happened that your brother was here too.

I miss you, your brother, like you, he loves me like you, look handsome, three years older than you, good-natured, and kind, and is a good child. I think you have no chance to make a name for yourself, and there are many people around you, except for the few who served him since childhood, and no one has ever met in the past few years. Even if you open your eyes and have a good spring breeze one day, can you still expect to give birth to a man and a half woman?

If you want me to say that you look good, you are no less delicate than a lady, but not as good as a monogamous wife. Your brother has never been married. You are just a couple made in heaven, and it is also interesting forever."

If you say that Xiuchun's parents died while guarding Peking, Xu Hao took good care of her on weekdays and did not treat her as a maid, but raised her like Xiaoyezi.

I lived a very comfortable life in Daoxiangju Xiuchun. Do my own duties well and spend a lot of free time reading, writing, playing piano, painting, and playing everywhere. There are too many people who are not afraid of loneliness. If you want to do things, you can help with it. Keep accounts, keep science in medicine, and have people to communicate with each other. If you want to learn, you will be taught by someone.

However, out of consideration for her reputation, Xu Hao has always disagreed with her going to the study or serving her daily life, which made Xiuchun a little disappointed and dissatisfied.

If it weren't for Xu Hao's cause and effect, Xiuchun, who had no father and mother, might have nodded in agreement because she was not well-informed in the world.

Grandma Sang made a good plan and knew that Xiuchun was a good temper and had a soft face. As long as she agreed, she would openly tell the ugly story of her relationship with her godson, and Xiuchun would not say much.

Regardless of the past or present, many girls are so confused. They are coaxed by men and let others take advantage of them. Even if three or four girls are insulted at the same time, none of them resists. Xiuchun is such a person. Even if they are with Grandma Sang, Sang Xinbian, they will not feel that there is anything wrong with them.

However, Xiuchun is now more or less influenced by Daoxiangju and has a high vision. Although she is in a deep courtyard, the Xu family has never lacked young and promising young men. Most of the servants have been practicing martial arts since they were young, and they will go to the military academy to be trained at the age of sixteen or seventeen. There are many people who have become military officers in their twenties.

If the environment is different, people's ideas will naturally become different. The Xu family is not an ordinary wealthy family, and they look vibrant from the inside out. There are many good men in the family. How could Xiuchun be as fond of Sang Xinbian? As Grandma Sang said, she looks like a top-notch figure among the maids of similar age. Beautiful beauties don't have to worry about marrying.

Xiuchun lowered her head and said, "It's not that I don't listen to my godmother. But the young master said several times that he would ask for marriage for his slaves and be a grandmother and a grandmother to marry his daughter. Without the young master's approval, please forgive his daughter for not agreeing."

Grandma Sang was angry when she heard this and sneered: "It turns out that she has climbed up to the high branch. No wonder she hasn't come to see me these days. Don't forget that when you were seriously ill, I saved you whispered."

Sang Xinbing also swept away the gentleness and elegance he had just now. He stood up with a ferocious expression, meaning that he might as well take the opportunity to force her, so that he would not let go of marrying him wholeheartedly?

Let’s talk about Linxia Pavilion. Seeing that Xiuchun didn’t come back for a long time, Xu Hao said, “Chun’er is going to visit her godmother, who will ask her to come back?”

Xu Cuiliu's close-fitting girl Luaner said, "I'll go find Chun girl." After that, he jumped out and saw Xiao Yezi snuggling in Xiangling's arms, and stepped forward to pinch her little nose, "I want to go out, are you going?"

Xiao Yezi opened his eyes in a daze and asked, "Where is Ye'er?"

Luan'er said laughing and crying: "I just knew Ye'er, Ye'er, he was still in Prince Mu's mansion and hadn't come back."

"Have you not come back yet?" Xiao Yezi was very disappointed. "If I had known, I would have left with him. It was all my fault for my mother. I said that girls can only go out in the second year of junior high school."

Xiangling couldn't help laughing and said, "Little fool! Your mother is coaxing you. Sister Ye is really, she is so particular about these things at such a young age."

Luan'er reached out and said, "Follow me, your mother is in the hanging flower gate."

At the side of the Chuhuamen, the women took a break from their busy schedule and set up a banquet. Shu Erniang was a little worried. Everyone knows that her younger brother has been weak and sick since childhood. He has not had a good sleep in recent days and has been sleeping all night long.

In order to please her, Mrs. Ye said, "Suzhou Yaowang Temple is very effective. No matter what disease you have, you go to the temple to ask for a visa and take the medicine as you signed. There is no bad thing. Because my daughter couldn't sleep well, I asked someone to bring it back for a visa. I took it with me, and there were not many medicines on it."

Take out a sticker from the purse, and Sixi, Zhulan and others look at it: The fourth auspicious sign of Medicine King Ling is the fourth **, three cents of poria cocos are not found, half of the ginseng coins are like shavings, and a lotus root node is decocted in river water. When taken, it will cause blood to the raw humans.

Zhulan said: "This recipe is so delicious, it's just that this introduction is hard to find."

An old woman said, "There are all medicines on the prescription at home, try boiling them and then applying them. The old man came up with a method to replace them. If you use three points for the red flowers, you can probably replace blood."

Shu Erniang said, "If he can cure his disease, what's the harm in taking my blood? Even if the medicinal materials have to be asked everywhere, it will inevitably be earth-shaking. My brother will not feel comfortable after taking them."

Sister Ye smiled and said, "I have ready-made ginseng, and there are also Poria cocos and lotus root nodes, and the red flower Xiangxuan has it in her hands."

Shu Erniang smiled and thanked her solemnly: "No matter whether it is useful or not, I have received my sister-in-law's affection this time. I have offended me before. I must forgive me."

At this time, Luan'er walked over with Xiaoyezi in her left hand and her octagonal palace lantern in her right hand. Shu Erniang waved to her and asked, "Your mother said you have eaten noodles on your birthday today?"

Xiao Yezi replied with a crisp voice: "Godfather cooked a bowl of eel noodles for me, and my godmother made a bowl of three fresh noodles. I couldn't even eat it. I begged my godmother to help me eat three fresh noodles, and my godmother helped me eat eel noodles."

"Amitabha!" Shu Erniang exclaimed: "Your fortune is even more powerful than a girl with a brand. Apart from Miss Luzhu, who has eaten noodles cooked by the third young master in his family?"

Zhulan smiled and said, "When it comes to eating noodles, Liu's mother said it is not the inner house today. The listening room has four tables. We also have four tables this day. Other tea rooms guarding the door, etc., just eating 600 kilograms of noodles is not enough."

Yuelan sneered, "If you listen to her lies, everyone within the Hanghuamen ate their stomachs and couldn't get two or three hundred kilograms of noodles. They didn't exceed this number on birthdays, let alone the table of dishes that are full of food today, and even Xiaoyezi can't eat a bowl. It's probably a false number, and the dried noodles are divided evenly in private."

"Today's New Year's Eve, turn a blind eye." Shu Erniang smiled, "If you want to say that this is indeed rare, it is the craft of the ancestors of the farmers in Shaanxi. Each noodles has eighteen gaps, and the taste is very unique. It is said that they can't make many pounds a year. It's a pity that the young master can find it, but they are not allowed to say it out, just because they are afraid that they will be cheated of the people as tributes. Although noodles are not expensive, they are rare. Therefore, they all want to give them as gifts to relatives. For the birthdays of the country, they have both inner and face."

When Luan'er heard her sister-in-law say nothing, she said in Zhulan's ear: "The young master asked me to go and search for Xiuchun. She has been there for a long time but has not returned."

Zhulan said, "I've been leaving for a while. I just happened to dissipate the smell of alcohol. Let's go together."

Leaving Xiao Yezi with her mother, they came out with lanterns and amid the deafening sound of firecrackers all over the capital, they came to the gate of Grandma Sang's yard.

Suddenly a figure stumbled out, Zhulan was startled and shouted, "Who is it?"

Luan'er was bold and careful. She immediately realized that it was a woman, hugged her and shouted, "It's Xiuchun."

"Go away." Xiuchun, who was messy in Chaifa, was still in shock. "It is not advisable to make trouble today, let's leave here quickly."

Zhulan frowned and looked at the yard. She couldn't see anything clearly because she was so dark that she helped Xiuchun to leave quickly.

In the room, Sang Xinbing, who was pricked by a hairpin while covering her face, shouted in panic: "What should I do? Will that bitch reveal it?"

Grandma Sang cursed: "I can't even control a girl. Don't panic. She will never dare to publicize such a scandal. Besides, I am the third young master's grandma, who dares to do what I do?"

Sang Xinbing said in fear: "But she is unusual in the eyes of the young master. Alas! Hurry up and think of a way for me. Once we get her, we will be just around the corner."
