91. Hit a big rock

To Liu Dong'er's surprise, after listening to the eldest lady's explanation, the old lady actually agreed happily. In fact, the old lady is not so self-aware, she knows the current situation of the Zhang family very well, otherwise she would not have to marry Liu Dong'er. Even if Liu Dong'er is her own granddaughter, she is unwilling to kiss, let alone someone else's family.

Han Yan's premise is to be a serious concubine of an official eunuch, which is definitely unwilling. But what is the identity of the Zhang family? Such a premise is good, especially when the eldest lady reports to the old lady, because the Han family's big house has been away from home for many years, this Han Yan is completely raised in front of the old lady of the Han family as the eldest daughter.

Because of the eldest lady's words, the old lady naturally thought of her own situation, is it inconvenient for Liu Dong'er to hone a good skill because of this? The Han family's family is even higher than the Liu family, so it seems that this Han Yan is not bad except that her father is a concubine and she herself has been delayed.

The Han family also quickly came with information, not directly saying that it was impossible, but sending someone to invite the eldest lady over. When the eldest lady came back, she was happy.

The Han family agreed.

Can you disagree? The eldest wife of the Han family thinks that Han Yan is a hot potato, but the second wife of the Han family is already in a hurry. The Han family is in this situation now, if they are not separated, Han Yan will definitely be delayed. But if they are separated, the situation in this house is not allowed. expected the old lady to say something, but the deceased eldest master of the Han family was the only son of the old lady. I was expecting the eldest lady to say something, someone had just died of her husband. It just so happened that the second master of the Han family was in charge of the shop inside, and he didn't care much about his daughter's marriage at all.

Compared with the second wife of the Han family, the person who is more uncomfortable is Han Yan herself.

Although the marriage is the order of her parents, and it has nothing to do with herself, she can't just drag it out so continuously. After the New Year, she will be nineteen years old, and when the elder brother is out of the filial piety period, and then there is a grand marriage, she will be in her twenties! At this age, her background is not too good, which is equivalent to failing the qualifications of his wife.

Also, the young lady in her twenties, no matter how good the premise is, there is only one way left to be a stepwife, and it is even worse, directly being a concubine.

Naturally, judging from the status of the Han family, it is unlikely that a good lady will be a concubine. But even if it is a bad concubine, but a stepwife, it is not something that Han Yan can take over. There is no woman who does not dream of a good life after marriage, and there will not be a woman who marries a mother who has been a child! If this is a daughter, it is fine, but if it is a son, it is equivalent to the child she will give birth to in the future, and she will not be a serious concubine. But who rejoices in the fact that he is inferior from then on?

Mrs. Liu's wife is holding this thread, which is good. It is true that the Zhang family is a merchant, but the family is the son of the grandson who came to ask for marriage, and with Han Yan's premise, now marrying the son of the official eunuch family, it will not be at all. And the concubine ...... Thinking that his father had worked hard for most of his life, but he had not obtained anything, Han Yan was also full of reluctance to marry his concubine.

Although the Zhang family is a merchant, the eldest young master of the Zhang family is young, and he is a son who can uphold the family business, and the other party also has to keep filial piety, so naturally he will not dislike her for being old. This is the most beneficial to her. Moreover, the Zhang family is easy, and they promised to let her feed in the palm of their hands in the future, which is really good.

When it was convenient, the two families hit it off, and the marriage was engaged half a month later.

After Liu Dong'er learned that the two families were engaged, she didn't say much, but Liu Man'er listened to her words and was a little uneasy. Han Yan, not only Liu Dong'er has seen it, but Liu Man'er has also seen it a few times. Although the impact is not deep, it is true that the other party is not very easy to get along with. Fortunately, Liu Man'er's request is not high, and depending on the situation of the Zhang family, they will definitely be separated in the future. The second young master of the Zhang family is a son-in-law, and he will not be treated too badly, plus her dowry, it will be no problem to live a well-off life in the future.

The engagement of the two families did not have much impact on the Liu family, but a few days later, the second master welcomed the invited gentleman to the mansion. I heard that it was a gentleman who had already taught a good name, and his knowledge was the most outstanding, but he was a little old-fashioned, and he came to be the teacher of the Liu family, but he was also invited by the second master after losing face.

Regarding knowledge, Liu Donger is very self-aware, she can recognize all the words on the books, and at the same time, she can also settle the accounts, which is already good. Poetry opposition is not her specialty at all. Liu Zhang's is also in the same state of mind, seeing that the second master cares about Brother Rui the most, Liu Zhang's simply doesn't care about Brother Rui'er's knowledge, and only focuses on teaching Lei'er, and when he has time, he has to help Liu Dong'er find some good objects to add makeup.

It's just that since I invited Mr. to come over, I won't teach Brother Rui alone, Liu Xun, the sister-in-law of the big house, is too young, so he will postpone it for two years. And the two concubines in the big room and the second room were all picked up.

The concubine of the big house is named Liu Jun, and he was also taught as a sister-in-law in the first few years, and he was also the oldest of the several. Liu Xiang, the concubine of the second room, has a biological mother of Ju He, but she is raised by Bi'er's side. Bi'er has nothing to show for herself, and Liu Xiang almost lost the impression of his biological mother, so it is not bad for him.

It's just that these two people are put together with Brother Rui, and the problem comes out.

Liu Junfei is old, and he was cultivated as a sister-in-law before, so he is not enlightened, the rules are also good, he knows some words, and the poems are not worth his intentions, but he can also memorize a few poems.

Liu Xiang is a concubine, or the kind of concubine whose biological mother is rejected and his adoptive mother is not favored. He has the least sense of existence in the Liu family, and Liu Zhang's impatience poisons him, but he always forgets him. The maidservants and mothers-in-law saw that he could be regarded as a young master, and he would not exploit him, but they would not have much respect. Liu Xiang is more introverted in nature, basically asking and answering a sentence, not being flattering and behaved, and even more illiterate.

And the youngest Brother Rui doesn't understand this, because a few days ago, he was carefully taught by the second master, and his knowledge is actually the most feminine of the three.

Please come and teach the three of them a gentleman, named Mr. Cui. Mr. Cui is in his fifties, and his body is very healthy, but he has a straight face all day long, and he has an extremely grim demeanor. Before coming, of course, he also inquired, he was invited by the second master, and the main purpose was to teach the second room's sister-in-law, Brother Rui. As for the other two concubines, they are naturally used as foils.

Therefore, Mr. Cui paid more attention to Brother Rui from the first day of teaching. 's two concubines, he still taught a lesson, but he didn't care as much as he did to Brother Rui, and almost used them as companions.

It just so happens that Brother Rui is the youngest, but his knowledge is very feminine. And he is a clever and sensible demeanor, the most pleasing porridge. In comparison, Liu Jun of the big house is quite passable, he is the oldest of the three, and after some changes, he now knows very well that the whole future of the family is not his, but the little brother born to his mother. Therefore, he rejoiced in diligence.

The worst is Liu Xiang, he has not been blessed since he was born. Waiting for nothing, Ju He took him back to Liu's house, and it happened that Liu Zhang's front and back feet gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, and he almost didn't get the slightest attention. Later, he was asked to be held by Bi'er again, which was even more unnoticeable.

Introverted, not good at language, chaotic rules, illiterate in big words.

This is what Mr. Cui said about him.

As far as Mr. Cui is concerned, since he was invited to teach him knowledge, there are naturally some things that cannot but be said. He will look down on Brother Rui because he is his son-in-law, and at the same time, he will focus more on Brother Rui. But that doesn't mean he's going to let the other two protégés go. Moreover, his scale for protégés is average, if Brother Rui does not learn well, I am afraid that he will be even more severe.

When he realized that Liu Xiang was not doing anything good, Mr. Cui didn't say anything at first. It's just that this ring ruler is waving loudly. For several days in a row, Liu Xiang came back with the mark of the ring ruler. Brother Rui saw it in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything, there was a reason why Mr. Cui beat people. But in this way, Brother Rui is more diligent, he can sit still and love to study, and because he is a young coward, watching Liu Xiang being beaten every day, he is directly frightened, where do you dare not be diligent?

In this way, Brother Rui'er's knowledge is a thousand miles a day, Liu Jun's qualifications are not as good as Brother Rui'er, but he is sensible and knows the situation, although he seems to be one step behind on the whole, but it is not far behind. Only that Liu Xiang, day by day, Mr. Cui witnessed the other two protégés growing in knowledge, and the more he looked at Liu Xiang, the more unpleasant he became.

It can be counted that on the day when the eldest young master of the Han family was filial piety, Mr. Cui sued Liu Xiang.

The Han family is filial, although it is a three-year filial piety period, but the real one is only twenty-seven months. The eldest young master of the Han family is not small, and as soon as he came out of filial piety, he ordered someone to calculate the day and send it to the Liu family. But Liu Dong'er took the post in Liu Zhang's hand with a red face, but Brother Rui came in a hurry.

"Mother, eldest sister, my brother was beaten, and my father is going to beat my brother to death!" This sentence of splitting his head and covering his face immediately confused Liu Zhang and Liu Dong'er. Liu Zhang dragged Brother Rui to see if he was injured, and then he had time to think about who Brother Rui's brother was. But Liu Dong'er immediately understood that it should be Liu Xiang. It's just that this Liu Xiang is usually inconspicuous, Liu Dong'er looks back on the limited number of meetings, and always feels that Liu Xiang is an honest child, belonging to a person who has no superfluous psychology at all, why did he provoke the second master? Moreover, he was so nervous that he wanted to be killed?

Even if Brother Rui'er's report was very timely, Liu Zhang and Liu Dong'er rushed over in a hurry, and by the time they arrived, Liu Xiang had already fainted.

"Master, ...... are you" is not his own birth, Liu Zhang's saw Brother Xiang faint to the ground, more shocked than distressed.

The second master was also surprised when he saw Liu Zhang'er and Liu Dong'er coming, and then glared at Brother Rui'er, but he couldn't bear to accuse: "Hmph, Brother Xiang owes repairs, I will teach him." ”

Liu Dong'er lowered her head and frowned, and then squatted down to help Brother Xiang up. Brother Xiang was already hit on the back and buttocks by rattan, and the sky was gradually getting warmer at this time, although the children wore more, but there were already traces of blood on the outer clothes.

"Sister, is my brother okay?" Brother Rui squatted next to Brother Xiang and looked at Liu Dong'er with blank eyes.

Liu Dong'er comforted softly: "It's going to be fine, when Brother Xiang is sent back to the room, I'll find some wound medicine and put it on." ”

Brother Rui nodded a little ignorantly, and quickly glanced at the second master: "Dad is alive." ”

"Good, let my father and mother talk here, and we'll send Brother Xiang back first. "Turned around and called the servant girl, Brother Xiang is still young, and the two handmaidens carry the little soft collapse, but it will not be too difficult. I don't want to, Liu Dong'er just got Brother Xiang to the soft collapse, and the second master spoke.

"Dong'er, let Brother Xiang learn a lesson and have a long memory, you don't have to worry about this. The second master didn't mean to be angry with Liu Dong'er, looking at his expression, he was obviously still angry.

Liu Dong'er was stunned, and reached out to check Brother Xiang'er's pulse. Although she has not studied medicine seriously, she has been with the doll for a long time, and many things are also a little familiar. Fortunately, Brother Xiang'er's pulse is still solid, but he is still young, and if he continues to delay like this, he is afraid that he will also fall ill: "Father, Brother Xiang fainted, if his father really wants to teach him a lesson, it is better for him to recover, right?"

The second master stared at Brother Xiang with a dark face, but he didn't confront each other again. Brother Xiang is also his own blood.

Brother Xiang was sent back to Bi'er's yard, and Liu Dong'er also asked the housekeeper to invite the doctor over. This happened in the second master's study, and he couldn't hide it at all. Fortunately, Brother Xiang is not very favored, and the old lady doesn't care at all. The old lady just called the second master over to ask, and learned that it was caused by Brother Xiang'er's lack of diligence, so he didn't bother to answer.

In the end, the father teaches his son a lesson, and it is for cultural issues, even if it is an old lady, it is not easy to join too much.

After Liu Dong'er found out, he sympathized with Brother Xiang the most. She knows very well that Brother Xiang is not necessarily not diligent, but a congenital shortcoming. He has not been favored since he was a child, and his adoptive mother Bi'er is an aunt who is an illiterate maidservant, so it is already very valuable to take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it is indeed impossible to help him in terms of knowledge.

Coincidentally, coincidentally, Brother Rui has been fed all kinds of fruits, vegetables and medicinal herbs produced in the void space by Liu Donger since he was a child, not only is he healthy, but his ideas are much smarter than ordinary children.

It's just that Brother Xiang and others have fallen behind a lot of courses, although Mr. Cui has good knowledge, but he doesn't look like a patient person. I'm afraid that when Brother Xiang'er's injury is really healed, he should not be able to keep up with the progress of his studies.

Liu Dong'er also knows that Brother Xiang and Brother Rui are not ordinary, their backgrounds are different, and there is a world of difference in the eyes of the second master and Liu Zhang's. This Brother Rui is smart and diligent, steady and sensible, and the second master is afraid that he has pinned the hopes of the Liu family on him. And Brother Xiang'er's background is here, and his nature and ability are not outstanding, in the future, after the old lady and the old lady will be a hundred years later, once the separation of the two rooms of the big house is over, this Brother Xiang will be even more neglected.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, because there were too many things, Liu Dong'er still left Brother Xiang'er's affairs behind.

"Dong'er, the Han family has set the time for getting married, and it will be on August 15. On this day, Liu Zhang's face was gentle and came to Liu Dong'er, and he was very satisfied with Liu Dong'er's embroidery all over the house. Although Liu Dong'er's previous skills were not good, after two years of practice, they are much better: "There is only half a year left, and my mother hopes to take you to the outskirts of the capital." ”

"What?" The time confirmed by the Han family was in Liu Dong'er's consideration, but she never expected that Liu Zhang's would take her to the outskirts of the capital at this time: "Is it the hot spring Zhuangzi I went to with my sister last time?, why are we going over there?"

Liu Dong'er thought about it for a while, if everything went from Liu's house to the hot spring Zhuangzi, if everything was smooth, two months would really be enough. From the point of view of time, it is really in time, but Brother Rui has already been enlightened, and with the importance that the second master attaches to Brother Rui, it is not idle to get him to agree: "Mother, Brother Rui is there, I'm afraid my father will not agree." ”

"Brother Rui?" Liu Zhangshi was stunned for a moment, and then spoke with a smile: "Mother just wants to take you to have a look, maybe bring Lei'er with you." Brother Rui'er's words, he is a boy, and he will have the opportunity to live in a simple place in the future. ”

Quite right.

Liu Dong'er was a little subdued, and if she didn't delay Brother Rui, she and Lei'er accompanied Liu Zhang's on a trip, but it didn't matter. At that moment, Liu Dong'er nodded: "Okay, then go and put it away, I'll fix the things a little." ”

"Okay, when my mother has put everything in order, I will send someone to call you. Liu Zhang patted Liu Dong'er's head most happily, this moment, even her daughter is about to get married, how are her parents living in heaven?

On this trip, Liu Dong'er didn't call Liu Man'er. Because of that day, although Liu Zhang's didn't say it explicitly, she still saw a trace of throbbing in Liu Zhang's eyes, yes, Liu Zhang's must have wanted to get along with Liu Dong'er for a while while while when Liu Dong'er was not married. In the end, she was still reluctant. As for Liu Man'er, no matter how modern Liu Zhang's is, at this time, he still doesn't want this "daughter" who has her husband's blood but has nothing to do with her to notice in front of her, right?

It was because this was a long-awaited trip, Liu Zhang's unusual, put everything in place within two days, and took Liu Dong'er and Lei'er to pull out.

"Mother, do you think they won't understand until we leave?" Liu Dong'er hugged Lei'er, who couldn't help but want to open the curtains, and joked with a smile. It was also Liu Zhang's actions that were too fast this time, although she had also said hello to all the masters of the Liu family, but looking at the stunned expression of the second master before going out, Liu Dong'er questioned it the most, and the second master didn't understand it at all.

"I've said it anyway. Liu Zhang showed a naughty smile: "It's just that I'm usually too abrasive, and your father didn't understand it for a while." ”

It makes a lot of sense.

Liu Dong'er nodded in agreement, and at the same time took care of Lei'er, who was the first to jump around as soon as the door fell. By chance, she really questioned whether this Lei'er had made a mistake about the gender? Otherwise, how could she be so naughty?, it was also because she was out of the house, Liu Dong'er didn't want to be too restrained by Lei'er, thinking that the second master had helped Lei'er think about the coming day anyway, and she didn't want Lei'er to have too much effort.

The journey along the way is very rigid, but fortunately, with the happy fruit of Lei'er, it is not too depressed. Although the journey was also a bit laborious, because it was quite smooth all the way, and I didn't even encounter heavy rain, it was much faster than the last time Liu Dong'er and Liu Man'er came over. "Mother, I will be able to go to Zhuangzi in half a day. "Hot Spring Zhuangzi is on the outskirts of the capital, a short road away from the capital. At the beginning, Liu Dong'er's maternal grandfather was mainly doing business in the capital, and most of the shops were also in the capital. Fortunately, the time is not in a hurry, and Liu Donger feels that even if he visits the capital, it will not take much effort. Hearing that it was coming, Liu Zhangshi smiled and wanted to say something, but he didn't want to, the carriage was unstable for a while, and Liu Zhangshi fell to the ground on average.

"Mother!" Liu Dong'er first exclaimed, and with quick eyes, he hugged Lei'er, who was almost thrown out, in his arms. Simply, Liu Dong'er's body bones are much better than in her previous life, and she and the doll often run around in the void space, but this time she held it firmly and did not hurt Lei'er.

"Dong'er! Lei'er!" Liu Zhang's first fell to the ground, and then saw such a thrilling scene, his heart almost jumped out. Fortunately, Liu Dong'er understood it quickly enough, which made her feel at ease a little.

The carriage was quite stable, Liu Dong'er put Lei'er on the ground, and hurriedly rushed to Liu Zhang's side, while examining Liu Zhang's situation, while calling loudly to the doll sitting in a car in front of him.

The doll soon arrived, and while assisting in taking care of Liu Zhang's family, she also reported the previous incident to Liu Dong'er.

It was just a corner ahead, but I noticed a pile of rocks in front of the road. The coachman hadn't paid attention to this before, and almost crashed into it, but fortunately nothing really happened. It also caused several carriages on the back to stop.

"It's not your fault. Liu Zhang waved her hand, and she was not injured except for a knock on her elbow. It's just that Shicai watched Lei'er almost be thrown out of the window, and her legs were a little weak with fright.

Liu Dong'er entrusted other maidservants to take care of Liu Zhang's family, and she herself took the doll to look at the pile of stones in front of her.

"Miss, this is not a tumble down the mountain. The doll only glanced at it, and then spoke affirmatively. The frightened coachman also agreed: "This mountain is still far from here, and there are only such large stones, something is wrong." ”

Liu Dong'er followed the doll's eyes, and indeed, there was only a large pile of stones of similar size in front of him, and there were no fragments of stones. Looking up at the mountains that were a little far away, Liu Dong'er put aside his unforeseen guesses. But if it weren't for the unforeseen, could it be that someone was determined to do this?

Looking back carefully, Liu Dong'er knew that he had no opponents. If you have to say that there is, it is Aunt Zhou who has passed away. But apparently this mystery will not be solved. In particular, this is the outskirts of the capital, even if Liu Man'er has regained his nature, it is a bit unrealistic to want revenge. But if not......

Wait, Liu Dong'er and the doll glanced at each other, and asked softly: "Doll, when I was to blame a person?"

The doll was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, it seems to be called Huo Matchmaker." ”

With a sinking heart, Liu Dong'er couldn't help frowning, could it really be that person taking revenge? But it's not like it, it's been so long, even if the other party is very grudgeful, where did he get the information that they will come? Turned around and walked towards Liu Zhang's: "Mother, have you reported to others about our visit to Hot Spring Zhuangzi?"

Liu Zhang was stunned, and then replied in the most surprise: "Of course there are reports to others, and I have told them all about your father and old lady." ”

"No, what I mean is, mother, did you send someone to the hot spring village to say it first?" Those people in the Liu family are not harmless to Liu Dong'er.

"Yes, of course. Liu Zhang was still a little unsure, so he said, "Can we go over? Can the stones be removed?"

Liu Dong'er looked at the coachman, but the coachman spoke with a wry smile: "Second wife, second miss, the rut of the car is broken, and the back of the car is fine, but this stone is not something that can be opened in a while." ”

In fact, it is not difficult to move the stone away, and the doll is willing to make a move. But Liu Dong'er didn't let the doll start immediately, but entrusted others to move the soup from the head cart to the carriage on the back. No matter how the pile of stones came from, Liu Dong'er always felt that the front was not very peaceful. If the other party is sincere in wanting to kill her, even if the stones are removed, there will definitely be other traps ahead.

Liu Dong'er didn't want to take risks, and she didn't dare to take risks. Anyway, the road to the hot spring Zhuangzi is not only this, it is a big deal to spare some more roads, and it does not take much effort.

It's just that before getting into the carriage, Liu Dong'er looked thoughtfully at the side of the pile of stones, as if this was the only way to go to the capital, right?

"Miss, there's another carriage coming from the back, should we stop it?" the doll asked, listening intently.

Liu Dong'er waved her hand and asked her to go and tell someone, the doll jumped out of the carriage and came back in a moment, but her face was a little treacherous. But after looking at Liu Zhang, the doll didn't say anything.

It wasn't until Liu Dong'er and his party took a long detour again, and finally returned to the hot spring Zhuangzi that the doll had time to talk to Liu Dong'er: "Miss, guess who the doll sees?"

"Do you have any acquaintances here?" Liu Dong'er raised his eyebrows, could it be someone we met when we were here last time?"

"Yes, but it's not from Zhuangzi. The doll smiled and spoke, but a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes: "Miss, you must not guess." ”

Liu Dong'er blinked, and was about to speak and ask, when a figure flashed into her mind, almost opening her mind: "It can't be the master and servant who we took on the road last time, right?"

Looking at the petrified expression of the doll, Liu Dong'er laughed the best: "I actually guessed right?"

"Miss, ...... you" The doll was shocked, and then laughed: "Yes, it's the two of them, this time it seems to be a little more scholar." ”

"That's a coincidence. Saying this, Liu Dong'er vaguely expounded a motive, could this be regarded as fate? But soon, this motive was thrown out by Liu Dong'er. Not to mention that she is already a person who is about to get married as soon as she is engaged, so there is no such thing, and she will not fall in love with a down-and-out inkman. Like the drama of Miss Ling Yuan falling in love with the inker, it can only be detected in the play. I can't say that those dramas are also faked by the down-and-out ink artists themselves.

After soaking in a painful and pleasant hot spring, Liu Dong'er rested early. Even if she hadn't done anything along the way, the fluctuations of so many days were not pleasant. Anyway, Liu Zhang's family wants to go shopping, and he has to rest for a day or two, not to mention that he was a little frightened today, and with the nature of Liu Zhang's family, I am afraid that it will take several days to calm down.

If it is a troubled thing that cannot be spared, it is okay, she will not do anything like this to cause trouble.

"Miss, they are going to the capital, although they turned around and asked someone to liquidate the official road, they don't want to have trouble ahead. The doll blinked and looked at Liu Dong'er most innocently: "Miss, you didn't let me do it, did you know that there would be troubles ahead?"

She did guess it, and it really wasn't an accident. It's just that I don't know if this is coming for her, or for the pair of masters and servants. Thinking about it selfishly, she hoped that these were all attracted by the master and servant.

Seeing that Liu Dong'er didn't answer, the doll didn't mind, still smiling. Stretched out his hand to help Liu Dong'er repair it, and combed her into an easy bun: "Miss, that pair of master and servant has been taken in by the people on Zhuangzi, do you want to meet them?"

"No, it's just an unexpected encounter. Liu Dong'er refused without thinking.

Liu Dong'er forgot one thing, if the pair of masters and servants took the initiative to ask to see him, then they must have gone to Liu Zhang's side first, and Liu Dong'er would not be enough even if he wanted to refuse. Liu Dong'er dressed up, and when she went to look for Liu Zhang's family, she saw the young master among the master and servant, and there was a young scholar beside him.

came face to face with the young master, and Liu Dong'er was stunned over there. Although this dynasty is not so severe with unmarried women, seeing a foreign man at first glance still makes Liu Donger a little caught off guard.

"Miss Liu. Seeing Liu Dong'er stunned, the young master showed a big smile, and it was the kind of smile full of joy.

Liu Dong'er was even more stunned, she didn't come back to her senses for a while, she didn't feel how familiar she was with this young master, and she didn't even know who he was. Wait, how did he know that his surname was Liu? Subconsciously looked at Liu Zhang, not wanting Liu Zhang's to have a smiling expression, and there was a hint of banter in his eyes: "Mother, this is ......"

"Sister Dong'er!" a loud and sweet voice came out, and it was the little scholar beside the young master. Liu Dong'er looked at it fixedly, and the whole person was stunned. How could it be her?!

"You, are you Han Xi?" Looking at this little scholar with a frightened expression, Liu Dong'er recognized that she didn't recognize this person at first, and it wasn't until the sentence "Sister Dong'er" that she could understand. It's just that even if she thought about it, Liu Dong'er's tone was still more surprised than happy.

If this little scholar is really Han Xi, the second lady of the Han family, then the young master next to her is ......

"Sister Dong'er, I said that you would definitely recognize me, but it just so happened that my brother didn't believe me. "I haven't seen her for two years, and Han Xi has grown from a little girl to a little lady like a new seedling. Her appearance is not the best, but with that sweet smile, it looks particularly obvious to all.

But Liu Dong'er didn't have the heart to look at Han Xi's changes, her mind was confused by Han Xi's "brother", that person was really Han Xi's brother, the eldest young master of the Han family......

With bitterness, Liu Dong'er lowered his head and did not speak for a while. Seeing this, Liu Zhang's mouth could be reckoned to be: "Dong'er, since the young master of the Han family has passed by us, she must summon it well." Why don't you take Miss Han down to change your clothes first?"

Han Xi is now wearing men's clothes, although it shows that people with eyes can still see clearly, but it is not very good.

"Thank you, Mrs. Liu. The eldest young master of the Han family, who had been silent before, could be regarded as having opened his mouth: "This time, the juniors came over and asked for something." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Not to mention Liu Zhang's family, Liu Dong'er glanced at him in surprise, but lowered his head casually.

"That's right, the juniors are going to the capital to run errands, but it seems that the road has not been very calm recently, so I want to entrust Xi'er to Mrs. Liu to take care of it temporarily. Half a month later at the latest, the juniors will definitely come back to pick up Xi'er. The eldest young master of the Han family replied loudly, and Liu Dong'er noticed that this person's voice was quite beautiful.

This kind of request, Liu Zhang naturally can't refuse. Not to mention that half a year later, Liu Dong'er is going to marry the eldest young master of the Han family, and even a little friendship with a little bit of friendship can't refuse such a request.

The eldest young master of the Han family did not stay for too long, and after handing over Han Xi to Liu Dong'er, he just glanced at Liu Dong'er deeply, and then said goodbye.

"Han ......" Liu Dong'er endured and endured, but still said softly: "Be careful on the road." ”

"Peace of mind. The eldest young master of the Han family smiled slightly, understanding that it was meaningless, but it made Liu Dong'er feel heartbeat in vain. Suddenly, she was looking forward to the marriage in half a year, this young master of the Han family seemed to be different from her husband in her previous life, the eldest young master of the Zhang family.

"Dong'er, I'll leave that Xi'er to you. Liu Zhang smiled a little playfully, and then Lei Er jumped in, and when she saw that there was one more person, she was a little surprised: "Sister, who is this brother?"

Han Xi burst out laughing: "I'm not a brother, I'm also a sister." Sister Lei'er, do you remember me? ”

Lei'er looked at Han Xi in a daze for a while, but she didn't recognize her. Also, Han Xi hasn't met Liu Dong'er for at least two years, and he has been with Lei'er for even longer. Not to mention that Lei'er was so young at the time, it was strange that she could remember.

"Lei'er, this is Sister Xi'er, Sister Xi'er of the Han family. Liu Dong'er prompted.

Looking at Lei'er's expression, it was obvious that she hadn't thought it through at all, which didn't prevent her from calling someone. screamed sweetly, and Lei'er first pestered Liu Dong'er to go out to play. This is also due to the fact that during the trip, when Liu Dong'er was idle and bored, she told Lei'er about the last time she and Liu Man'er came to the hot spring Zhuangzi to play. No, it was too late yesterday, and people were a little tired again, so Leier didn't make a fuss. But after a whole night's rest, Lei'er had already recovered.

"This ......" Liu Dong'er hesitated, if it wasn't Han Xi's presence, she wouldn't care. After leaving the Liu family, it's okay to have no intention of relaxing. But it happened that Han Xi was by her side, which made her not know how to get along with this sister-in-law for a while.

"Sister Dong'er, I want to go and play with you. Han Xi looked at Liu Dong'er with her big mist-like eyes, as if she could cry at any time as soon as Liu Dong'er refused.

Liu Dong'er was helpless, so she had to comfort Lei'er first, and then took Han Xi to change into women's clothes. Fortunately, Han Xi's clothes are complete, although they are not beautiful clothes, but there are easy women's clothes. Moreover, looking at the fabric style, it should be specially used for going out.

"Xi'er, do you often hang out with your brother?" Han Xi didn't bring a maidservant, but fortunately, although Liu Dong'er's combing technique was not eye-catching, the easy hairstyle was no problem. While helping Han Xi comb her hair, Liu Dong'er asked curiously. Regarding the eldest young master of the Han family who will spend time with him in the future, Liu Dong'er is also the most curious.

Han Xi blinked, looked at Liu Dong'er in the mirror, and showed a naughty smile: "Sister Dong'er, my brother told me last night that if Sister Dong'er asks about her brother, she must help him say good things!"

was embarrassed by Han Xi's words, Liu Dong'er didn't laugh anymore, eased her feelings, and Liu Dong'er spoke with some disgust: "I'm asking about you, not your brother." ”

"Yes. Han Xi tilted his head and thought for a while: "When I was a child, my brother often took me out to play, and he took me everywhere. Later, when I grew up and my brother was busy with his studies, we rarely went out to play. This time, my brother came for the imperial examination, and I pleaded for a long time before he agreed to let me follow. ”

Imperial examination?

Liu Dong'er doesn't know much about officialdom, although the Liu family is also an official eunuch, but her relationship with the second master since she was a child is not too good, and there are no brothers in the family who are close to each other, so naturally she doesn't know much about these things.

Casually, Liu Dong'er also remembered the last time. At that time, her marriage with the eldest young master of the Han family was in front of her, and it seemed that she had heard that after she got married in the future, she would go to the imperial examination. I don't want to, now I have caused the first imperial examination and then get married. Calculating the time, it shouldn't be long: "Xi'er, how many days is this imperial examination here?"

"Yes, my brother and I arrived in the capital three months ago, and our family also has another courtyard in the Han family. It's just that ten days ago, my brother was going to visit a famous teacher, and I went with me, but I didn't want to come back when I ran into trouble. Speaking of this, Han Xi looked at Liu Dong'er with an important face: "Brother said, it was you who prevented the disaster for us, if it weren't for your prompts, maybe our carriage would have hit a big rock." ”

"Where, it's just a matter of luck. Liu Dong'er smiled, helped Han Xi tidy up her clothes, and then took her hand out of the boudoir. Inside, Lei'er had been waiting impatiently, but fortunately, the doll went to the kitchen to make a snack and was busy stuffing it into Lei'er's mouth.

"Doll, don't let her eat so much, you see she's getting fatter. Liu Dong'er stretched out her hand and nodded Lei'er's little nose: "So fat and round, I'll see how you will marry in the future!"
