Thirty-five, ordered to live together

Thirty-five, ordered to live together

At the end of autumn and early winter, it was already quite chilly. At the end of Haishi, when the earthquake came, the two brothers Laide brought two braziers to the study room on the third floor. They said that the old mistress had asked Aunt Ying to order them down. Several gentlemen were going to grow up.

Talk, it's late at night and it's cold, don't get cold.

The first debate of "Those who know do not speak, those who speak do not know" ended. Xie Daoyun proposed to play chess with Chen Cao. Xu Miao and Xie Xuan continued to argue. Xu Miao was proficient in Confucianism, while Xie Xuan had an even better understanding of metaphysics.

The two were evenly matched when arguing, and it felt like they were meeting opponents. Xie Xuan didn't have his sister Xie Daoyun to pressure him, so the debate felt more enjoyable.

Chen Caozhi's study was a large suite, with an outside room for reading, calligraphy, and an inside room for painting and playing Go. There was also a small couch for resting. Chen Caozhi and Xie Daoyun entered the inner room, and Xiao Chan instructed Ran Sheng to move a brazier inside.

, placed beside the small ebony table for Chen Caozhi to keep warm while playing chess with Xie Daoyun.

Chen Cao said: "Sister Xiaochan, please go and rest first. There is no need to wait here. Xiao Sheng will also go down and sleep."

Xiaochan smiled and said, "It's rare to see such a lively atmosphere. It feels like Chinese New Year. I don't want to sleep either."

Ran Sheng also said that he would not sleep, and he would cheer when Gu Langjun recited a poem.

Chen Cao said: "You are not allowed to make independent decisions and applaud. Do you want Gu Langjun to recognize you as his first confidant in your life?"

Ran Sheng made a strange face and went outside.

Xie Daoyun said to Xiaochan: "There is no need to wait here. I want to talk to Chen Langjun."

Xiao Chan glanced at Chen Cao, who nodded. Xiao Chan then left the outer room and saw Xie Langjun and Xu Langjun talking to each other and having a lively debate. Gu Langjun was arguing at the side.

He applauded and sometimes commented a few words. Ran Sheng also joined in the fun and cheered. Xiao Chan asked him: "Xiao Sheng, you are so knowledgeable. Do you understand?"

Ran Sheng shook his head and said: "I don't understand. I just think it's fun to argue. It would be great if we had a voice competition. Whoever has the loudest voice wins."

Xiaochan smiled and said, "That must be you. You roared twice and deafened people's ears. They couldn't hear what you said. Of course you win."

Ran Sheng laughed loudly, and Xiao Chan quickly glared at him and said: "Shut up, you will suffer if you wake up Run'er. I have to make you shout the Analects three times."

Ran Sheng quickly covered his mouth and remained silent.

Seeing that there was nothing going on here, Xiao Chan thought of visiting her old mistress. She went downstairs to Chen's mother Li's bedroom and saw that the goose fish lamp in the inner room was still on. Chen's mother Li was muttering something.

The old maid Yinggu was sleepy and responded hummingly.

Xiaochan coughed first, and Chen's mother Li, who had very good ears, immediately asked: "Xiaochan?"

Xiaochan responded, walked in lightly, and asked: "Does the old mistress have any instructions?"

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, was lying half-reclined, half-lying, holding a bronze heater in her hand, and said: "There is nothing wrong with the old woman, she just can't sleep——"

Xiaochan said: "Is it too noisy upstairs? Then I can go up and remind them to speak softly?"

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, quickly shook her head and said: "No, the old woman is not afraid of noise, but of being deserted. Think about it, she can't sleep at night and can't hear any sound. It's so hard. The old woman is now confused day and night. She is dizzy during the day.

I want to sleep, but I can’t sleep with my eyes open at night.”

Xiao Chan said: "Xiao Chan, let's talk to the old mistress." Then she sat on the eaves of the box in front of the bed.

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, asked: "Qingzhi took Zongzhi, has Run'er gone to bed? Well, Gu Langjun and the others don't want to wait on you anymore? What is Chou'er doing?"

Xiao Chan said: "Xiao Sheng is here, as well as Gu Langjun and Zhu Langjun's two children. Cao Zhi and Zhu Langjun are playing chess."

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, laughed and said, "It's so strange that Zhu Langjun's younger brother turns out to be a descendant of the Xie family in Chen County. He and Zhu Langjun are cousins. I think they are brothers, but they are not as tall as a younger brother." He is taller than my brother."

Xiao Chan thought to herself: "The way Mr. Zhu looked at Mr. Cao Zhi was not right. It was the same as Miss Lu who came last time. Mrs. Lu should be Mr. Cao's sweetheart. Run'er is really useless. I'm wrong, there's nothing wrong with Mrs. Lu's look, but it's really awkward for Mr. Zhu, a man, to look at Mr. Cao like this, especially when Mr. Zhu saw Mr. Cao playing the flute. This look is even more obvious——"

People in the Wei and Jin Dynasties were fond of men, and Xiao Chan knew it, but Xiao Chan didn't like Cao Zhi's young master being loved by a man, so she felt a little hostile towards Zhu Langjun.

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, saw Xiaochan startled and asked, "What is Xiaochan thinking about?"

Xiaochan said hurriedly: "I didn't think about anything."

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, smiled slightly and said: "Xiaochan, this old woman has wanted to talk to you about her feelings for a long time. There is no one else here now, and Aunt Ying is asleep and snoring."

Xiaochan didn't know what Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, wanted to say to her, so she felt nervous for no reason and said, "Old mistress, please tell me, Xiaochan is listening."

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, said: "A few days ago, Zeng Yuhuan told the old woman that her family, Laide, was seventeen years old and it was time to settle down on a marriage. She asked the old woman to make the decision to help Laide find a kind woman to be his wife. ——Zeng Yuhuan is shrewd. The old woman understands what she means. She wants to take advantage of you and Qingzhi. If you or Qingzhi become her daughter-in-law, she and Laifu will both smile crookedly."

Xiaochan blushed and said, "How can this be done? Laide is only seventeen years old. Qingzhi and I are how old Laide is."

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, said: "What are you afraid of when you are a few years older? You two are so graceful, with good looks and good temperaments. You are a high achiever in coming to Germany."

Xiao Chan quickly said: "Old mistress, Xiao Chan will not marry anyone, Xiao Chan will serve you."

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, said: "The old woman is declining and her life will not last long——"

Xiaochan said in shock: "Old mistress, please don't think so. Mr. Cao, Zongzhi and Run'er will be very sad when they hear this."

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, said: "Okay, I won't tell you, but you are still young and can serve me for a few years!"

Xiao Chan whispered: "I can still serve the sect's young master, Run'er. It is Xiao Chan's blessing to meet such a good master as the Chen family in Xilou."

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, said: "Look at Aunt Ying, she has served me since she was ten years old and has been with me for almost forty years. Although I have a deep love with her maid, once I die, she will inevitably have a miserable life. "

Xiaochan said: "Young Master Cao will be kind to Aunt Ying."

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, took Xiaochan's hand and patted it gently: "Silly boy, this woman should have a son and a half. She didn't realize it when she was young. Only when she gets old can she realize it - what you just said After serving the old woman, you will continue to serve Zongzhi and Runer, why don't you persuade Mr. Cao Cao?"

Xiao Chan blushed and said, "The young man is now an adult. After getting married, he will have a mistress, and he will have a maid from the mistress' side to serve him."

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, sighed slightly and did not shy away from Xiao Chan, saying, "Six Ugly are ambitious. You know how difficult it is to marry a girl from a high-ranking family of the Lu family. I'm afraid the old woman won't see that day!"

Xiaochan thought to herself: "So this is really what happened!" She said: "Old mistress must have seen Mr. Cao Zhi marrying Miss Lu. Didn't Miss Lu kowtow to you when she came back?

, that is a great gift for the bride to meet her aunt."

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, was a little happier and said, "She is a good child. Unfortunately, my brother passed away again, and Chou'er can't even visit her." She took Xiaochan's hand and said, "Chou'er, this child has made up his mind.

It won't change. As a mother, I can't force him. If he wants to marry Miss Lu, let him marry her. The old woman can't help, but there is something that the old woman can decide - "

Xiaochan's heart was pounding and she didn't dare to express her anger. However, she heard Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, talk about De again and said: "Laide, this kid is honest and strong. He will be like his father Laifu in the future."

That's a kind person who lives a kind life——"

Xiao Chan thought that Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, was going to betroth her to Laide, so she quickly slid down the eaves of the box and knelt down, pleading: "Old mistress, Xiaochan doesn't want to marry Laide -"

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, smiled and said: "Get up, I didn't say I wanted to betroth you to Laide."

Xiaochan let out a breath, stood up and sat back on the eaves of the box.

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, said: "The old woman asked Qingzhi about this matter a few days ago. Qingzhi lowered his head and didn't say anything. No matter how he asked, the old woman knew that Qingzhi was probably willing, even though Lai De's appearance was not very handsome.

, after all, I know the basics, Laifu and his family are all good people. After marrying Laide, you are still in the west building. But what about you, Xiaochan? The old woman knows your thoughts. If you want to stay, then just stay. You will serve Liu exclusively.

Ugly, Xiaochan, do you understand?"

Xiaochan's face turned red and hot, her throat was dry, and she was speechless.

Chen's mother Li said: "These days, the old woman has noticed that you really take good care of Chou'er. The old woman thinks, even if Chou'er marries Miss Lu in the future, Miss Lu will still be gentle and amiable, but

That high-class girl doesn't know how to take care of people, but Xiaochan is considerate - you should accompany Liu Chou from now on and move the bed to his room. Liu Chou is also a strong man of sixteen years old and in good health, so he should know

It’s a matter of men and women——”

Xiaochan's head almost drooped to her knees. She was so embarrassed that she still dared to answer.

But I heard Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, sigh: "I'm really worried, old lady. From now on, I can only entrust Liu Chou to your care."

Xiao Chan felt an ominous feeling and forced herself to smile lightly: "Don't worry, old mistress, Xiao Chan will take good care of Mr. Cao Zhi. He can't even drive me away."

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, said: "I still need to talk to Youwei about you and Qingzhi. After all, you two are interested in Ding's family name."

Xiaochan said timidly: "Old mistress, just talk about Qingzhi alone. I - there is no need to say it. Anyway, no matter what, I will stay in the west building."

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, sighed: "What a silly boy. In fact, the old woman thinks that Qingzhi will live a happier life than you after marrying Laide -"

Xiao Chan remained silent, and finally spoke boldly: "But old mistress, Xiao Chan likes to fuck the young man. She feels happy in her heart when she sees her, and feels fresh every day. Xiao Chan doesn't think so much, as long as she is here

Just stay with Xiao Langjun."

Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, smiled and said: "It doesn't matter what it is, I will make the decision for you. Tomorrow you will live in the same room as Liu Chou."

"It's coming tomorrow!" Xiaochan's eyes widened.
