Chapter four hundred and eighty eighth

As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, the weather in Chengdu is a bit stuffy. The women born in Jiangnan have changed into cool summer clothes early. In the back house of the "Shu Wang Mansion", the eyes are filled with bellies and swallows. The dress sways, and the snow-white arms and legs are faintly visible, with an unspeakable charm.

Chen Yu followed Han'er to the mansion. Han'er was not very enthusiastic. She threw her into the corridor in the back house and disappeared.

"What attitude..."

Chen Yu inserted his waist and complained whispered. After inquiring about Su Xiangning's residence with the maid, he walked around the corridor and headed to the attic in the west wing.

Dingdong—

The sound of the qin floats in the bustling courtyard, making the corridor pavilions more quiet. There are also maids who enjoy the coolness sitting in the corridor and listening.

The distribution of the houses of large households is basically the same, with the west wing, east wing, hanging flower door, veranda and other locations. Chenyu walked through the west wing veranda and came towards him, holding a round fan, with his eyebrows and branches as soft as a painting, like a blooming peony, with a bright and neat combed in a bright and neat way. He tied a delicate bun behind his head and wore it with a flower hairpin.

Seeing that he didn't look like the owner of the mansion, Chen Yu thought he was the princess's nanny, so he ignored it and just followed the sound of the piano to look for it.

Pass by.

The little woman frowned and looked at her for a few seconds, then suddenly she chuckled and said:

"Miss, whose daughter are you? Did you break into the wrong door? This place is not something that outsiders can come. It looks so beautiful that the master can't get out if he sees it."

Chen Yu was stunned and looked at him with his little eyebrows:

"Are you the wet nurse invited by the princess?"

"What a wet nurse?" Zhu Qufei covered her chest with a round fan, feeling a little dissatisfied: "I am Cao Hua's elder, half of my master."

"Huh--"

Chen Yu shivered: "The dress is full of flowers, and they are all living in the back house, and they are still elders..."

“Hahaha…”

Concubine Zhu Qu raised her eyebrows: "I'm not old and have a big temper."

"cut--"

Chen Yu swept Zhu Qufei's chest, hummed softly, and ran away.

After going around, I finally got to the attic of the West Chamber.

The windows of the attic are open, and the sound of the qin comes from inside. You can see Chen Jingliu accompanying Zhao Tianluo to relax in the garden in the distance.

Chen Yu came out of the attic window, wondering whether to look happy or complain, a conversation came into his ears:

"...Shishi, what did you and Cao Hua do on the river that day?"

"......I talked about some trivial matters and didn't do anything..."

"......Is that right? Cao Hua is not a person who is in a mess. He drank some wine and stopped you, and just chatted?"

“…yeah…just chat…”

"What are you talking about?"

"...Little Sister Su, just go and ask Lord Cao..."

"Haha...ah...Shi Shi is much smarter, unlike me, who waited for more than a year before he dared to speak...Yu'er is even more stupid. She likes others and dares not say anything, and she pretends to be careless all day long..."

Chen Yu was stunned, and then became annoyed and ran into the house angrily:

"Sister Su, you...how can you say bad things about me behind my back again!"

"Yu'er?!"

In the quiet attic, Su Xiangning and Li Shishi sat cross-legged in front of the piano platform, bored and chatting, suddenly hearing the sound of Chen Yu. Su Xiangning looked surprised and turned to look at the window.

Chen Yu carried the hem of the skirt and ran in a angrily. He walked up to him, and his mouth sagged, and he could no longer suppress his grievances. He sat on the blanket and cried:

"Woo--You are so loyal, you don't even beat yourself up and run away from the man, and you're still talking bad things about me behind your back..."

Su Xiangning was full of smiles and surprises, and supported Miss Shen who was about to roll on the blanket:

"Yu'er, how did you come here?"

"I came here by boat. I'm afraid that you will be sold by someone named Cao and will give you a few dollars. I will come here to save you..."

Chen Yu tried hard to look angry, but couldn't help but cry again, looking at Su Xiangning angrily.

Su Xiangning hugged her shoulders, feeling a little helpless:

"Mr. Cao had no choice but to take me away, afraid of implicating the Shen family...."

"If I don't listen, I don't listen, I'm just not loyal..."

Chen Yu covered his little ears, looked up and saw Li Shishi smiling opposite him, and frowned again:

"I have brought Shishi with me, why don't you take me?"

Li Shishi's quiet face looked a little helpless: "I stayed peacefully in Minglou. I was inexplicably tied up by a shrew, and my family was robbed, so I couldn't help it."

Su Xiangning comforted Chen Yu and shook her head and chuckled:

"Stop making trouble. Since you came secretly, you will definitely not be able to go back. I told Cao Hua and just let him pick you up..."

Chen Yu shook his head quickly and grabbed her hand: "Sister Su, you can't sell me. I came to Chengdu to do business. If he didn't bring me with me, I wouldn't pay for losing money..."

"Ahem—"

While speaking, a man's cough came from outside the attic.

The three women in the room were all stunned, and then they each showed their own appearance. Li Shishi sat upright with a quiet expression, Su Xiangning smiled and Chen Yu held his little arm, pretending to hear nothing.

------

Cao Hua's face was calm, and he walked slowly into the attic and glanced at it. The three girls sat on the side of the soft blanket, with two pianos posing, and there were melon seeds, snacks, and tea next to him. The ring lying on the side of the nap was not awake yet, and it seemed that his life was quite moist.

Li Shishi gave a blessed gift: "Young Master Cao is here."

Cao Hua nodded and responded, walked to the piano platform with his hands behind his back, looked down at him, and Chen Yu did not look up, and moved to Su Xiangning with a little restrained look.

Cao Hua smiled and sat down on the soft blanket, with one hand on Xiang Ning and Shishi's shoulders, and pulled them into his arms and leaned against them.

Su Xiangning was nothing, so she naturally leaned on it. However, Li Shishi was shocked, and quietly bowed and avoided it, moving to the side.

Chen Yu snorted, moved again, and sat next to Li Shishi.

"Miss Chen is far away and has a poor reception. I hope I will forgive you."

"I... don't need to entertain."

Chen Yu pursed her lips, her eyes were erratic, and finally muttered:

"How can you come in when you say private conversation in my daughter... yes, Miss Shishi..."

Li Shishi gently hooked the strings of the piano and made a 'dong' sound, as if he didn't hear anything.

Cao Hua shook his head, brewed a little, and spoke:

"I just talked to Mr. Shen. I have accepted the money, craftsman and woman from the Shen family."

When Chen Yu heard this, he felt energetic:

"That's good. We have a life-long friendship. In the future, the salt merchants in the Song Dynasty...what is wrong, my second brother will give you a woman? Who did you give?"

Cao Hua smiled: "Are there any other women on your boat?"

"There are no women on the boat."

Chen Yu was puzzled, thought about it carefully, and then shivered: "The aunt who cooks is over fifty years old, do you... like it?"

Cao Hua was a little helpless: "Of course I don't like it. At least I have to look at it young and beautiful, otherwise Mr. Chen would not be able to show off."

Chen Yu frowned his little eyebrows and thought for a little while, his face suddenly froze, and then his little face turned red and he jumped up in anger:

"Shen Lao Er has given me to you!"

Cao Hua nodded seriously.

"This prodigal son! How could he do this! I am his biological sister!"

Chen Yu was shaking all over, his face turned red, and he hurriedly ran out. After a few steps, he felt something was wrong and turned around and stared at him:

"You agree to someone surnamed Cao? How can you agree to such a thing? I'm not a thing... Bah - how can I give it to someone?"

Cao Hua sighed helplessly: "It is hard to refuse the kindness, what can I do?"

"you--"

Chen Yu was so anxious that he jumped on the spot that he had been running twice, then turned around and ran out, and the stairs were thudding.

"Miss Chen, you are the private property of the Cao family now. If you break it, you can't afford to pay. Run slowly."

"Ph, ph, ph - you think beautifully..."

Chen Yu's crisp voice gradually fades away...

Su Xiangning stood up and watched Chen Yu run out of the corridor before turning back and looking a little confused:

"Cao Hua, is this really the case?"

"I'm having fun with her."

"Cao Hua, what are you doing with an old angrily..."
