At night, Miss Xin'er was being washed by the maidservant, and when she was asking the maidservant to dry her hair with a handkerchief, there was a knock at the door. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After asking who came, Miss Xin'er said, "Come in." ”

Mama gasped and entered the house, knelt on the edge of the couch, wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve, and said while fanning the wind with a fan to cool off: "Girl, the little one has been found out." ”

"He ......" Miss Xin'er came to her lips, suddenly stopped, and asked the servant girl to guard the door, and then continued to ask, "Where did he go?"

Mama held the fan on her chest, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Shilangjun, I first went to the vicinity of the Ministry of Works' Shilang Mansion, and it didn't take long for a lady to go out of the city, but I don't know where I went." ”

Since it mentioned the Ministry of Works' Shilang Mansion, the implication was that Xiao Yuan took the lady of the Xu family out of the city.

They have been wandering around these places in Qinglou for a long time, and they have done eyeliner for Xiao Yuan, and their connections run through the streets and alleys, but if they want to know what happened in Bianjing City, they can always find some clues.

"Xu family, Xu Liuniang?" Miss Xin'er remembered the appearance of the promise, and a trace of disdain flashed on her face.

Shilangjun and Xu Liuniang have intersections, she knows it, but she never thinks that a thin little lady like Xu Liuniang is worthy of Shilangjun.

Mama leaned forward again and asked, "Xiao Shilangjun hasn't been to our building to look for you in our building for a long time, otherwise I will rush Ming'er to ask?" ”

"Don't go, he won't come to me, I won't go after him. ”

The candle flame danced, illuminating Miss Xin'er's expression very clearly, and she looked proud, as if she was the most dignified lady in Bianjing.

"Girl, can you be angry about this, we all know that Shiro-kun is not a gentleman who is circulating outside, he is a son worthy of trust, if you miss it, there will be no person as good as him. ”

Mama spoke earnestly, for fear that Miss Xin'er would not bow her head.

Miss Xin'er lowered her eyes, twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and said softly: "How could I not know that he is a rare son, but he, he will go north to join the army in a few days." It's not interesting to look for him now, it's better to wait for him to come back......"

"You're wrong, with Shiro-kun's skills, you will definitely make military achievements if you go there. When he comes back, he will no longer be the son of a gentleman in Bianjing, but a son-in-law of the ladies in the capital who are bare-handed, if you don't catch people now, by then, it will be too late!"

Mama said in a hurry, a few spit spurted out of her mouth, and the stars fell into Miss Xin'er's black hair, and she hurriedly wiped it with her hand.

Miss Xin'er frowned, dodged Mama's hand, and said that she would wash it again.

Mama withdrew her hand in a daze, and Miss Kwa Xin'er was really happy to be clean.

When Mama left, the sadness on Miss Xin'er's face had all faded, and she grabbed the edge of the rope and glared: "Yes, I have to hold him in my hands now, he is mine, and it will always be mine!"

……

Suzhou is still black tiles and white walls, and people come and go in the streets and alleys.

It's just that the Xu Mansion has changed a lot.

Xu Pingyi hurried for eight or nine days, and finally returned to his hometown after a year and a half of absence.

The people of the Xu family had already received the news of his return home, and when he arrived, the Zhang family had already taken the Ding family, the Zhong family, and a few children waiting outside the door.

Xu Pingyi turned over from his horse, strode forward, knelt in front of Zhang, and shouted: "My grandson has seen my grandmother, my eldest aunt, and my third aunt." ”

He was still dressed in white, his hair was neatly combed, and he was in good spirits, and he could only find a little dust on his black boots and smell the dust along the way.

With tears in his eyes, Zhang hurriedly asked him to get up, stroked his arm, and sighed: "Da Lang is taller and stronger, more handsome, he is tired along the way, the family has prepared a meal, hurry back to the house to eat, don't be hungry." ”

In Zhang's words, his expression was full of love for his eldest grandson.

Ding looked at Zhang's love for Xu Pingyi, he was uncomfortable, but he couldn't show it, put on a posture of a virtuous daughter-in-law, and said: "Mother, Da Lang has rushed back from thousands of miles, let him wash and wash first, so that his body can be refreshed." ”

When Zhang heard this, he nodded hurriedly and sighed: "It's still your aunt's thoughtfulness, you should wash up first on such a hot day." Your father is so ruthless that he let you go south alone, and he got a tan all the way, come and take Da Langjun to wash!"

Xu Pingyi smiled and said softly: "Grandmother, my grandson will go to greet my grandfather first, and then go to ......."

"Yes, let's go see your grandfather first, he has been looking forward to it for many days. After Zhang saw Xu Pingyi, the whole person was much more energetic, and when he came out of the inner courtyard, he had to be supported by two people, and when he went back, he could walk very upright without support.

Xu Pingyi met Mrs. Zhang, and the two brothers Xu Guyu and Xu Gulei were also there.

He saluted and said, "Da Lang has seen my grandfather, my uncle, and my third uncle. ”

"Da Lang, get up, after reading your father's letter, have you decided to join the office?" Old lady Zhang asked about this as soon as he opened his mouth, he was different from Zhang, he would not feel sorry for him when he saw his eldest grandson, he suffered on the way, and he was completely a head of the family.

Xu Pingyi got up, nodded, and replied softly: "Grandson has decided." ”

Looking at his determined expression, Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Pingyi is his eldest grandson, he has been brilliant since he was a child, but he lacks interest in reading, although he was sent to Yingtian Academy to study, but he does not take the exam every year. The second-room couple was anxious, and as the head of the Xu family, he was no less anxious than them.

The Xu family started as a tea merchant, and the reputation gained in Suzhou and Hangzhou for decades cannot be compared to the reputation that the family gained after Xu Gucheng, a second-class jinshi.

Just doing business, no matter how good it is, just like the Nadu family, it is just called the richest man by others, and the lady in the family has to be a concubine.

Among the grandchildren, there is only one son in the big room, and he is still young, and the child in the third room is still nursing in his arms.

Now if you want to pass the imperial examination and further increase the reputation and prestige of the Xu family, you can only rely on Xu Pingyi.

At first, he was worried that Xu Pingyi was forced to agree to take the exam, and if he was forced, he would naturally not do his best to take the exam.

Looking at it now, it was the eldest grandson who took the initiative to refer to it.

This eldest grandson is the most beloved grandchild of him and the Zhang family, and it is really reassuring to be so prosperous now.

After a few words, they asked Xu Pingyi to go back to the house to wash.

Early this morning, there were many little maids outside the door of the Xu family, and they all stretched their necks to look inside, without thinking too much, they were all sent by the ladies of each family to inquire about the information.

Xu Pingyi was liked by the nobles in Bianjing, and there were always a few ladies waiting outside the academy to appreciate the jade with him on the days of the academy.

Now that he has returned to Suzhou, that enthusiasm continues unabated.

It's just that the lady in Suzhou is a lot more subtle, and she won't go to the door in person to block it, and she sent a maidservant girl to take the token. (To be continued.) )
