Hongzhu thought about the condensation of the books of the ancients, and she went to bed at one hour at night, so she could copy one or two copies. But she thought of her own handwriting by mistake, and she hadn't practiced it for a long time, and her hands and feet were sore, and she had only copied a small half, and when she looked back at the handwriting, it was a lot that she didn't even want to look at. Hongzhu only took the paper and sighed and shook her head.

But even Cheng Wenhan wrote better than her, he was proud, and he was knocked on the head by Hongzhu, "You, a person who works hard in school, don't write better than me, what else do you want? If you are really bad, you just wait for a lesson." Cheng Wenhan took a long breath.

After writing for more than half an hour, Li Shi opened his mouth and let them sleep, and only said: "This book copying was not done at night, it not only costs lamp oil, but also hurts the eyes." I don't think I'm busy for a day and a half, so it's good to write like this. ”

Hongzhu also felt that there was not much progress, and it was impossible to take out the manuscript to Zhu Boxiu before tomorrow, so it was better to rest. He also told Li and Cheng Wenhan that he would follow Zhu Boxiu out tomorrow.

Li Shi was surprised and said, "So rushed?" After a pause, he said: "How can this be, we don't have anything here?

Hongzhu understood her thoughts, and only smiled and said, "Mother, this is not to go to apprenticeship immediately, but to accompany Brother Boxiu to let Mr. take a look." Saying that, he looked at Cheng Wenhan, "If Wenhan is clever, it would be good to have Mr. ask a question." If you don't have that opportunity, you should go and see the academy as soon as possible. ”

Only then did Li Shi understand, his expression calmed down, and he turned around to tell Cheng Wenhan.

After packing up and lying on the bed, Hongzhu remembered to ask Zhu Zilan about it.

Li sighed and said, "Zilan is holding her breath in her heart, and she is having sex with her father." Just let her stay with your aunt for a few days, and when she is gone, it will be fine. ”

Hongzhu heard her say this, and it was not a big deal to think about it. The Zhao family didn't just say that they would enter, how could Zhu Zilan go as soon as she said she wanted to go? What's more, now that Zhu Biyun has become the second room of the third master Xun, the Zhu family is probably also a relative, and Zhu Zilan can't do anything to wait for people. She answered indiscriminately, and she fell asleep in a daze.

When I got up on the second day, Hongzhu's family felt sleepy, in the end, they were used to getting up early, and they woke up when they woke up. was making breakfast in the kitchen, and there was movement in Zhu Boxiu's house, and after a while, he also came out to wash. When Zhu Guida and Jiang got up in the hall, Zhu Boxiu went in to say hello and told him about going to Xishan today.

Hongzhu thought about whether it was a little inappropriate for Wen Han to follow alone, and told the Li family about it. Li frowned and thought about it, but mentioned another matter, "You told Bo Xiu to let Wen Han go with you, where is Nanxing?" Earlier, your second uncle asked, and said that Wen Han went to Xishan Academy, and Nanxing also went. ”

Hongzhu remembered that if she didn't go to the restaurant to accompany Cheng Wenhan today, she would have to tell her second uncle about it, and this talk was related to Li Nanxing...... She thought for a while before she said, "I don't think I'm going either, if the second uncle asks, I'll say a few words." If she doesn't ask, that's it. ”

The Li family is thinking about their restaurant and renting a house, and Uncle Li's second uncle has helped them a lot, and they have to repay Li Nanxing's study, Cheng Wenhan should take Li Nanxing with him. Hearing Hongzhu say this, his face became a little better.

Hongzhu said again: "I also told my mother yesterday that Wen Han just gave Brother Bo Xiu a ride, which is nothing." To put it mildly, he's just a guy running errands. ”

Li Shi laughed angrily at this, and glared at Hongzhu, "How do you speak? Your younger brother has been in school for a few years, and he is half a scholar, so he actually pointed at him and said that he is a little slave, is it a shame?"

Hongzhu patted her mouth and begged for mercy with a smile: "I said the wrong thing." ”

As soon as Zhu Boxiu mentioned that he wanted to go to Xishan to meet Mr., Zhu Guida and Jiang were a little stunned at first, but when Zhu Boxiu explained a few words, they were relieved, and they were all unwilling. Zhu Guida was still annoyed that he hadn't remembered it a few days ago, and he would go to pay New Year's greetings after fifteen, for fear that the gentlemen would blame him. For this, Jiang hurriedly went to prepare a gift. Fortunately, because of the Chinese New Year and Zhu Biyun's family affairs, relatives and friends have been moving around a lot these days, and the Zhu family still has a few good New Year's gifts to use. And Zhu Boxiu thought that the few manuscripts in his hand would definitely make Mr. happy, but he didn't care about some gifts.

Old Mrs. Zhu heard about it, but she looked a little worried, and called Zhu Boxiu in and talked for a while. Zhu Boxiu still explained the old lady Zhu, and when he came out again, he still had a brocade box in his hand.

Hongzhu saw that there was something she didn't understand, I was afraid that it was the precious things that Mrs. Zhu had left in private, and now for the sake of Zhu Boxiu's future, she took it out for him without saying a word.

The Zhu family heard that Cheng Wenhan was going with him, but there was nothing else to say. Zhu Boxiu's legs and feet are inconvenient now, and he really has to have someone to follow, if it weren't for Cheng Wenhan to go, Zhu Guida would have to go. Thinking of the current situation of the Zhu family, it is cheaper for Cheng Wenhan to go.

The mule cart had already been called outside, and Li and Hongzhu had to go to the restaurant, and after breakfast, they carefully instructed Cheng Wenhan and left first.

Because of remembering Cheng Wenhan's trip to Xishan, Hongzhu was a little distracted in the morning. She didn't tell the Li family carefully about the words with Zhu Boxiu, but she still pulled Cheng Wenhan aside to avoid people. She thought that even if Zhu Boxiu was a trustworthy person, but now he was making amends and interceding for his husband, how could he take care of recommending Cheng Wenhan. Hongzhu knows that her younger brother is clever, if there is really any chance, it depends on Cheng Wenhan's own adaptation.

While Hongzhu was thinking about things, her movements couldn't help but slow down, and Zhong seemed to notice it, so he didn't ask Hongzhu, but pulled Li to speak.

Li didn't think much about it, so he told Cheng Wenhan about it, and then repeated what Hongzhu said to her with a little apology, which was counted as an explanation to Zhong.

Zhong Shi was silent for a while after listening, and then smiled: "What else should I do, it's just a trip to Xishan to send people, Nanxing also led us to visit the mountain two years ago, and the road is not far." It's a shame that you're still so concerned. ”

Hongzhu came back to her senses, and when she saw that Zhong's words were interesting, she also smiled and said: "Second uncle, if you want to say that I am a person like my elder brother, there is no one to say that things are reliable, and I don't ask him what to do." In my opinion, the gentlemen in this city are afraid that they have some old connections, so it is better to send the affairs of the two of them to the gentlemen in the school, which is a bit of a spectrum. ”

Zhong also thought about this method, but Second Uncle Li felt that Li Nanxing did not have the ability to read and improve, so he used words to bluff her. said that he was looking for a way to go to Xishan Academy, and he shouldn't have asked Mr. Li in the school to go there. As soon as they went to help, the gentleman was okay with a wide heart, but if he was a man with a wide face and a narrow heart, he immediately felt that he had cut his face, and his heart was annoyed. If you can't be admitted, you still have to study under the hands of the gentleman in the school, how can you get anything good.

Because of Uncle Li's words, Zhong stopped thinking about going to Mr. Tuo Xuetang. Hearing Hongzhu say this, Zhong just smiled.

When the restaurant was busy, the matter was considered to be over.

At noon, the Li family went back to Zhu's house to cook, and Hongzhu stayed in the restaurant, and after the lunch market, there were many fewer people. Second Uncle Li has been busy since early in the morning, and at this time he has to find a small bed to rest in the utility room, otherwise he will not be able to support it at night. Even Hongzhu, Zhong persuaded her to sit and close her eyes to recuperate, she also sat at the counter and dozed off, and said: "It's okay, our small shop, what else can you lose in the daytime, just take care of this location." I can't sleep well while sitting, but if a guest comes, just shout. ”

Hongzhu responded, and when she saw that there were people coming and going, she couldn't lie on the table to rest, so it was better to stay in the kitchen, turn around and go in, find a corner and set up two small stools to sit on, and rest against the wall.

I didn't know that in a blur, I actually heard some sounds, Hongzhu didn't realize it at first, and then I just happened to tilt my head and almost fell down to wake up, and I saw a figure turn over the back wall and walked away.

Hongzhu was still suspicious if she was sleeping, but when she looked at the stove, she found that something was missing, and she was convinced that they had been robbed. In broad daylight, what kind of thief is so rampant?
