Chapter 96
This time at the beginning of autumn, she went to the kitchen. Apart from hearing the gossip, she also had an unexpected harvest. She didn't stay long and came back.

"Miss." She trotted all the way back to the yard.

"What's the matter?" Zhuhua turned her head puzzled, wondering why Qiuchu came back so soon, her eyes stopped on Qiuchu's arms.

At the beginning of autumn, I held a little flower dog who was a few months old, with smooth fur and a red butterfly knot tied around its neck, which looked very cute.

"Where did this come from?" Zhuhua took the puppy and hugged it in her arms.

Xiao Huagou was very obedient and didn't struggle. She hugged her and even licked her chin.

"It seems that someone gave it to me. I put it in a basket and placed it at the corner door. The mother-in-law opened the door in the morning and saw it and brought it in. They were wondering if it was a puppy that Xiaohua left outside and was sent back by that family. .”

Zhuhua looked at the puppy in her arms, and couldn't help smelling it. After smelling it, she felt her brain flooded again. Could she still smell whether Xiaohua and this puppy were really related by blood?
"Looking at this species, it seems to be mixed. Isn't there anything written in the basket?"

"No, it's just a very ordinary bamboo basket, but it is covered with soft cloth. It is probably afraid that the puppy will run away, so it is tied to the handle of the basket. According to the gatekeeper's wife, when it is dawn in the morning , she seemed to hear the sound of horses running outside, but she didn't pay much attention to it, did someone send Xiaohuagou here on horseback?"

"Since it's placed in front of my house, I'll keep it first. You go and get the basket, and I'll take a look."

"Okay." Qiu Chu replied, thinking to himself that the young lady was still talking about wanting to raise a puppy a few days ago, and now someone sent the dog to the door, could it be the young lady's admirer?But thinking about Zhuhua's childish appearance, it doesn't feel like it.

Zhuhua was also wondering if there was such a possibility, but she didn't think of any admirers, but wondered if someone wanted to ask Cheng's mansion for help, to curry favor and save the country to curry favor with her?As long as this person still has some sharp eyesight, as long as she is not too helpful, it is not impossible to ask her to help.

While thinking about it, she carried the little flower dog to the kennel at the door of her house.Xiaohua heard her coming, opened her eyes and looked at her, but remained motionless.It didn't like to move more and more recently, Zhuhua patted its head, and put the puppy next to it.

"This is... Diandian, your little follower, please teach it the rules."

Xiao Hua didn't know if she understood, she glanced curiously at the little thing beside her, sniffed it but didn't bark at it.Dian Dian obediently sniffed at Xiao Hua's side, and after a while, Xiao Hua didn't respond, so she boldly climbed onto Xiao Hua's back, and yelled at it a few times.Xiaohua ignored it, but Zhuhua carried it down.

"Don't bully your elders."

"Wow." Diandian called out, leaned over to smell Zhuhua's fingers, and licked the back of her hand.

Zhuhua couldn't help laughing, and rubbed her head vigorously, thinking to herself that after the age of 12, she would be different, and she would receive a big gift on the first day of the new year.

Soon other people in the house also knew that Zhuhua had a new puppy, Jinhua Yinhua no longer liked to hold pets in her arms, but Changzi insisted on hugging the puppy when she saw it.Since he always liked to pull Xiaohua's tail in the past, Zhuhua only allowed him to touch a little bit of the head, and he must wash his hands after touching.If other people want him to do this, he will cry and protest, but he dare not not listen to Zhuhua's words.At a young age, he has already discovered that the third sister in the family is the most vicious, other sisters and mothers are not willing to part with him, only the third sister is willing to scold him when she sees him crying.

Mrs. Sun also knew that she doted on her little son too much, she originally wanted to correct it, but when she saw that You Zhuhua was frightening her son by playing a black face, she gave up the idea.As long as there is one strong woman in the family, she can control him, and it doesn't matter if other people spoil him.Zhuhua Moming took on the heavy responsibility, but although Changzi was afraid of her, he loved playing with Zhuhua the most. Who would let his brother who was a few years older than him love to follow Zhuhua? There are puppies and toys in Zhuhua, so he naturally likes it followed.

Dabao and Erbao went home for a year, and didn't come back until the tenth day of the new year. They saw Zhuhua had a puppy beside him, and they walked around him curiously.

"Uncle Hei, Dabao and Erbao are not young anymore, do you want to send them to school?" Zhuhua asked bluntly after receiving the New Year's money after saluting.

Old Hei doesn't like to be around people. Hearing what Zhuhua said, he looked at his son seriously, "What kind of brains do they have? Can they read?"

Zhuhua's face was full of black lines. How could she say that to her son, "I can recognize them, they are so smart. I have taught them before, and they can recognize them as long as I teach them a few times."

"Then why don't you have my niece Lao to teach you? I'll count your salary for you and let you save it as a dowry." Since Dabao and Erbao lived in Cheng's mansion, the relationship between Lao Hei and Cheng Dashan has taken a step closer. Lao Hei is his own brother, and Lao Hei also calls the three sisters his nieces, but his attitude towards them is not at all like the strict father that Dabao Erbao knew, and because of this, they are not so afraid of Lao Hei now.

"Uncle Hei, I am still a child, how can I teach others. Besides, they are so smart, maybe they can give you a champion in the exam in the future."

"Impossible, our old Bai's family is full of illiterate old men, how can this give birth to the number one scholar?"

"Why not? Everyone has one head and one hand. Could it be that Dabao and Erbao are no better than others. Nowadays, how many people come from humble backgrounds in the selection of talents in the imperial examination, and their families have mud legs. But studying is not only for becoming an official, but also For reason. Women's reasons are different from men's, and I can't teach them."

"Okay, let's send them to study."

"Old Uncle Hei can know some high-ranking officials who are well-educated in Beijing. There are good and bad private schools outside. You have to pick and choose before you know where to send it."

"I don't know any high-ranking officials. It's better not to deal with them and send them to a private school outside. You look at Tiaocha, I don't know about reading. Don't worry, Uncle Hei still has money for his children to go to school."

"Okay, then I'll pay attention." Zhuhua realized that she had inadvertently hired herself another job, and was silently depressed afterwards.

When Uncle Hei walked away, Dabao Erbao, who had been watching from the sidelines, came over, pulled her sleeve and said, "Sister, we don't study, we stay with you at home."

"I can study with you." Erbao echoed.

"You two children..." Zhuhua knelt down, and after thinking for a while, she let out a long sigh, covered her face and sobbed, "There are books to read, you don't want to read, you don't know how much my sister wants to go out to study, It's a pity that I'm a girl, so I can't go. I wanted to wait for you to learn more principles and come back to teach me, but you didn't go... Sigh, my child was raised for nothing..."

"It's not in vain, let's read it."

"Let's go read it and come back with a champion."

The two spoke in turn.

"Hmm." Zhuhua reluctantly nodded, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, just in time to see Jinhua standing at the door in shock.She winked at Jin Hua, and Jin Hua immediately returned to normal, silently giving her a thumbs up.

Afterwards, Jinhua secretly found Zhuhua and asked, "Where did you learn it, so you can teach children?"

"Teach Xiaohua, and she will be able to do it later." Zhuhua said without changing her face.

Jin Hua nodded abruptly, and said, "No wonder. If my future children are difficult to raise, remember to come and help."

Zhuhua's eyes widened, she didn't know whether to complain about Jinhua and not worry too much, or let Jinhua also think about her difficulties. She was only 12 years old, and she was appointed as a nanny by default?

"That's the deal." Jin Hua patted her on the shoulder and made her sit on the couch. Before she could say anything, Jin Hua walked away on her own.

Zhuhua was stunned sitting on the couch, she seemed to have dug a hole for herself again, what should I do, wait online, urgent!
However, Jinhua may also have said it casually, just like she said she wanted Zhuhua to help her train the hounds at the beginning, but then it was all over.Well, it may also be due to Sun's strong opposition.In any case, she didn't think about what happened after so long. Now she is more concerned about this year's Lantern Festival.

After working day and night, Suzaku Street was finally repaired. This year's Lantern Festival will be held on Suzaku Street, and the Emperor will also appear on Miyagi to celebrate with the common people.Clean and spacious streets, tall and straight ginkgo trees, and repaired storefronts on both sides... The new Suzaku Street has a new look, which makes the people who have endured road construction all these years breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhuhua had gone out to see it before, and stalls had been set up on both sides of the road. The Jingzhao Yamen had set up water tanks every five feet to prevent fires. There were also more guards patrolling the road. They wore newly made uniforms and lined up from the street. However, it attracted a group of children to stare enviously.

On the day of Lantern Festival, Zhuhua got up early and took Dabao and Erbao for a stroll in the street before noon.Even though it was still daytime, there were many people on the street. Many stalls on both sides had hung lanterns. The stalls that did not mainly sell lanterns had already displayed their goods. Zhuhua’s stall was set up in a shop selling porcelain. On the Internet, I bought a bunch of small things like birds and puppies made of white porcelain and celadon, and some vases with slightly weird shapes but gratifying prices.

"Fortunately, I came out first in the morning. If I come back at night, I won't be able to buy these good things, and even if I do, I won't be able to transport them back."

Since today's application period, horse-drawn carriages have been banned on Suzaku Avenue, and things like vases can only be bought during the day.Dabao and Erbao originally came out to watch the fun, but Zhuhua would have to pick out in front of each stall for a while. They felt bored and dared not leave, because Zhuhua said that there are patting flowers in crowded places, like them. Such children are most likely to be abducted and sold into the mountains as snacks for the old hag.

Arriving in front of a restaurant, the stalls in front of the restaurant were pawnshops from the pawnshop opened by the same owner of the restaurant. Zhuhua heard a woman next to her asking the price, and her eyes lit up when she heard it. It was really cheap. Ah, it's a pity that the rest of the family didn't come~
"Dabao and Erbao, you go to the restaurant and sit down, order the food, and I'll treat you to lunch. I'll come in as soon as I finish shopping, so don't wander around." Zhuhua ordered without looking sideways at the things on the stall.

Dabao and Erbao responded, followed Zhongmi Zhongdou into the restaurant, randomly found a table in the lobby where they could see the outside, and waited for the bead flowers to be picked out.Zhuhua picked two jade hairpins, three bracelets and one bracelet, and after asking the price one by one, she quoted the total price to the waiter at the stall.

"No, miss, the price you quoted is too low, at least you need to add another ten taels."

"Ten taels, ten taels can go to Renyazi's to buy a nice girl. I haven't reported the lowest price yet. Your pawn shop must be able to make money. Seeing that today is the holiday, you can't give us a little bit of money. Is it?" Zhuhua said, and winked at another woman beside her who was about to bargain.

In front of the merchants, everyone, whether they recognize it or not, is an ally. After bargaining together, both of them bought what they wanted at a price they wanted.Zhuhua cheerfully asked Qiuyun to pay, seeing the thin purse in Qiuyun's hand, she suddenly thought, can she still pay for the lunch at noon?
"Qiuyun, put your things away and soak them in salt water for a few days when you go back." She ordered and went to the table where Dabao and Erbao were sitting. Seeing the relatively simple meals on the table, she breathed a sigh of relief. Said: "Good boy, the dishes are good, all I want to eat today. Is there any place you want to go after eating later?"

Dabao and Erbao shook their heads vigorously, they no longer wanted to go shopping with them.

"That's fine, we'll go home after eating." Zhuhua said, for the sake of her wallet, she couldn't go shopping anymore.

After dinner, she went out and got into the carriage, the crowds on the street seemed to increase again, Zhuhua glanced forward, besides many people staying in front of the stall, there were also people standing under the ginkgo tree staring, she From a distance, I saw a handsome man wearing a navy blue hairy cloak standing under a ginkgo tree and looking at the nameplate on it.

Where is her tree?Zhuhua thought of her own tree, Yuhou had told her the location, it seemed to be near the place where the handsome young man was standing.Forget it, there are so many people today, so she won't go to see it, let's talk about it someday when she is free, thinking about it, she turned her eyes and got on the carriage.As if feeling her gaze, the handsome young man standing on the ginkgo tree looked at where she was standing, and immediately recognized the logo on her carriage.

"Cheng San..." He said softly, and after the carriage left, he looked back at the nameplate on the ginkgo tree.

"Biyuntian, Huangyedi, who will listen to the sound of autumn trees?——Cheng Sanzhi's words", he said silently, and walked to the ginkgo tree across the street, looking at the nameplate above, which read "Suddenly heard the sound of autumn, full of The ground turned yellow, but who made lovesickness. -Yang Qizhi's words".

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his eyes flickered.

"Seventh Young Master, it's time to go back."

After standing for an unknown amount of time, he waited for the attendant to remind him before he came back to his senses and got on the carriage, driving towards Miyagi.

The guard at the gate of the palace recognized that it was King Ping's car, and after confirming the badge, he let it go. When King Ping arrived at his residence, he saw Xiao Lin who was Hou outside the study, winked at him, and followed him into the study alone. .

"He went to Shen Mansion today, but he hasn't returned yet?" Prince Ping asked lightly.

"Yes." Xiao Lin replied.

King Ping was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Today is really a good day."

Xiao Lin didn't understand why today was a good day, but he didn't ask too many questions.Huo Wang Yuanxiao's going to the Shen Mansion for a drink was nothing at all. The Shen family is his mother's family. He has always been close to the Shen family, and has a good relationship with his cousins.However, since Huo Wang met Shen Caishu in the temple, he did not come to the door again, and he resumed walking around until the new year's greetings in the first month.

 sweet or not?Or is it just me being sweetened?
