Chapter 112: Tough Wind and Bones
After a few people talked, Xu Wenyu dozed off on the side, leaned on Xu Wanzhen's side, and fell asleep in a daze. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I got up early today, and I went to say hello to Mrs. Xu on weekdays, and it was all hours. After riding in the carriage again, eating and drinking enough, he could no longer hold on. Little by little, the little head is red, and the face is red from sleep.
Xu Wanzhen couldn't help but hold him into her arms.
Han Runiang said: "I have cleaned up the warm pavilion, you go over there and take a rest." The old lady's bedding here is ready-made, so take a break. ”
It's late spring and early summer, and the afternoon sun is a little hot.
Xu Wanzhen put Xu Wenyu inside, and she also lay on the couch, and Sang Zi stuffed a cushion behind her waist. I was going to just close my eyes and recuperate, but I slept comfortably.
Before the time came, Sang Zi woke her up. After washing up quickly, he walked out of the main courtyard with Mrs. Xu.
Han Runiang greeted her, handed over a clean bag, and said, "I had nothing to do, so I asked the size of Master Xu and the eldest young master, and made two sets of coats." It's also a little bit of my heart. ”
Xu Wanzhen accepted it and thanked her: "Sister Ru Niang has a heart, and my sister has thanked me here." ”
Han Runiang hurriedly helped her up and said, "How dare you do this? Since Suzhou, she has been harassing the Xu family, and the old lady has helped so much." It's just a matter of time, and it's worth a thank you. ”
Xu Wanzhen was no longer polite to her, and repeatedly told her that if something happened, she would definitely send someone to Tu's house to report the news, so she got into the carriage and left.
In a moment, the Xu family's carriage came to the side gate of the Dali Temple prison.
Xu Le'an got out of the car first, went to explain the situation to the jailer guarding the door, and took out a corner of the fragmentary silver that he had prepared for rewarding and handed it over.
The jailer saw that he was generous, and it was the Xu family who had been greeted by Master Si in advance, and said happily: "You can go in at this time." But when Shen Shi, someone from the criminal department was coming. Be sure to come out before then, don't forget. ”
There is an hour of time, which should be enough, Xu Le'an responded again and again.
The jailer glanced at the carriage and asked, "How many are there?"
"There were five of them. ”
The jailer glanced at him obliquely, and said, "Why do you think this prison is your own house? He stretched out two fingers and said, "Two people, at most two people will go in!"
Xu Le'an hurriedly said: "What about the three of them? One of them is a child, and he doesn't bother to be eye-catching." So saying, he gave him another dime.
He took it in his hand and tossed it, but did not speak. Seeing this, Xu Le'an added another dime of silver.
The jailer took all the triangular silver into his arms and said with a smile: "Well, for the sake of children, three people are three." ”
Xu Le'an returned to the carriage and replied to Mrs. Xu, "Old lady, only three people are allowed to enter, and the villain can't accompany you." ”
Mrs. Xu said: "It's okay, as long as the three of us ancestors and grandchildren go in, we are not so delicate." ”
Yulu helped Mrs. Xu get out of the car. Xu Wanzhen was younger, so she asked Sang Zi to hold the futon and change of clothes, and she hugged it with her own hands. Fortunately, summer is approaching now, and the clothes are not heavy.
Xu Le'an was in a dilemma, who should he give it to? Xu Wenyu saw it on the side, and said happily: "I'll mention it." ”
"That's not going to work, young master. Xu Le'an had a bitter face, the little young master had been pampered since he was a child, when had he ever done this kind of rough work. But at the moment, there is really no manpower. The eldest lady has already hugged the bedding and clothes, can't she let the old lady come in person?
In fact, Xu Wenyu is not delicate and has been energetic since he was a child. After Mrs. Xu's early death, Xu Wan was really afraid that Shouxiao would not make him nutritious, so she let him eat egg custard every day and took him to run in the early morning. The little arms and calves are quite strong.
In the Gaomang Dynasty, if you were born in a poor family, it was a common phenomenon that you had to go up the mountain to collect firewood and herd sheep and pigs before dawn at this age. Even in modern times, everyone is a treasure of their parents, and children as young as five or six years old can also help their parents do some work.
Xu Wanzhen taught his younger brother in modern times, as long as he can, let him try, and always have his own side to protect him. Because her parents were too busy, the responsibility of teaching her younger brother fell on her shoulders, so she read a lot of parenting books.
She still vividly remembers that one of them was: "Let the child do it himself, so that he can exercise both dexterity and independence." The sense of accomplishment from the fruits of their labor is the basis for them to affirm their abilities. ”
Thinking of this, Xu Wanzhen said: "Since Yu'er is willing, you can try it first, can you move it?"
In order to be light, the food box of "Drunken White Building" is made of bamboo and varnished, which is light and generous, and does not sting. The food in the food box is not heavy, the heavy wooden box for the meal, and the pot of good wine. For six-year-old Xu Wenyu, the whole food box is slightly heavier, and it takes force to lift it.
Xu Wanzhen spoke, and Mrs. Xu also watched happily from the side, she didn't want to raise Xu Wenyu into a delicate young master who "is not diligent in the four bodies and does not distinguish between grains". The master made up his mind, and Xu Le'an had no choice but to stand by and watch.
For Xu Wenyu, this is not a chore, he has been recognized by his sister, his grandmother's attention, and his little body is full of energy. He stepped forward and came to the food box that was half a man's height for him.
The two calves and legs were divided, and he put on the starting action of the "two poultry plays" taught by his uncle, grabbed the basket of the food box with both hands, and lifted it up with a little effort.
looked at Xu Wanzhen with sparkling eyes, and said happily: "Sister, am I energetic?"
Xu Wanzhen pursed her lips and smiled, "Well, Yu'er is very energetic." Walk slowly, don't be crooked. ”
Xu Wenyu nodded, raised his arms flat, lifted the food box to his chest, and walked towards the prison gate step by step. Xu Wanzhen was wearing a long hat and holding the bedding and clothes, her vision was blocked, and it was difficult to walk. Yulu took the pineapple wooden cane to Mrs. Xu, and carried her to the door to wait for the two sisters and brothers.
The jailer couldn't help but be a little moved when he saw the two sisters and brothers walking slowly, and his heart, which had been accustomed to seeing the world for decades. Guarding Dali Temple Prison, most of the people in prison are prisoners and magnates, and he has not seen the prince. I saw a lot of relatives who came to visit.
There are those who cry and touch the earth, there are arrogant and arrogant, and there are those who are sloppy and shouting, but more of them are the six gods and masterless, cowardly and crying women.
Like these people in front of him, he received an order from Lord Si that the Xu family was a merchant family in Suzhou to visit the family members who were implicated in the case of the emperor's heir. Dressed and dressed in chariots, the servants are not short of money.
On weekdays, he is also a master of a group of slaves, and now that he is away from the maid, this young lady and young master obviously look embarrassed, and they don't often do these things, but they have a tenacity, self-confidence and independence, and move forward step by step.
I saw that the young lady, holding a pile of clothes, could still achieve a straight back and elegant steps; the young master was only a few years old, and the action of raising his arms flat could not last long, so he put down and rested, changed his movements and continued to walk forward, but he gritted his teeth and supported it, not crying or screaming.
There is a brilliance that radiates from them and attracts the eye. After all, this jailer has limited knowledge, and he doesn't understand that this is the backbone. There was still a long distance from the door to the prison where the Xu family was held, and he instinctively felt that he should help the two sisters and brothers in front of him.
He shouted behind the door, "Hu Laosan!"
