Xu Lan was loose at home for two days, and most of the time was given to Xu An, Xu An was already able to sit, sitting in a special wooden barrel, taking everything and stuffing it into his mouth. Xu Lantuo made wooden animals to tease him.

Xu Lan saw that the weather was good today, so she wanted to go to Qinghua Temple to see Bingde.

Bingde is still in the office area next to the abbot's room, but there are not so many people anymore, and it is much empty.

Bingde saw Xu Song coming, and he didn't seem to have grown taller for more than a month. The eyebrows and eyes have also grown a little.

"Why did you have time to come up today?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you. Look at you and lost a lot of weight like this, is there no food in this Tsinghua Temple? Come to my house and eat it, and make sure you don't stay for a few days and make you fat back." Xu Lan was joking.

Bingde flicked his head with a smile.

"Seriously, you benevolent society should be almost busy." Xu Lan looked at the pile of accounts on the table.

"Well, it's almost, I'll send some winter clothes when it's cold." Bingde replied while looking at the accounts.

"Well, you said that you also helped the court solve a lot of things, and also helped the court save a lot of money. Why don't you have a commendation or anything?" Xu Lan was a little uneven.

"As long as you don't blame it, this common person is the biggest commendation."

Bingde's ideological realm is really higher.

"Is the abbot in the temple?" Xu Lan asked casually.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Bingde thought that Xu Lan had something to do with going to Tsinghua Temple, so he looked at Xu Lan.

"It's okay, just ask, wasn't he quite busy some time ago?" Xu Lan said busily.

Bingde looked at Xu Lan and said that it was okay, it didn't look like he was perfunctory.

"Well, the abbot went to various state capitals some time ago, and he never returned to the temple, and now that the matter is almost settled, he returned to the temple, and now some accounts in various places are handed over and let me check them."

It turned out that he threw everything to Bingde.

"Why don't you find someone to do it for you?"

"I'm the most idle person in this temple, who can I ask for help?" Bingde laughed at himself.

"Let's go, go see the abbot, I'll go hug my thighs." Xu Lan dogleg said.

Bingde flicked her head again when he saw her, straightened the table and went to the abbot's room with her.

Xu Lan just wanted to take Bingde out for a walk and take a rest, and it was impossible to really chat with the abbot, in front of such a high-level person, it was impossible for Xu Lan to chat for a good day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

So I just went in and said hello, and then I came out.

He also said that he wanted to go back to the side hall to see the grape trellis and ginkgo trees, and pulled Bingde around again, and only let Bingde go back when it was almost lunch.

Besides, Lin Rusong's side, when he saw the painting sent by Xu Lan, he asked Qingzhu to take it and frame it, and put it in the cage with a cloth cover. There is only one sentence in Xu Lan's letter, the friendship lasts for a long time, but Lin Rusong has read it for a long time.

Hongmei has been anxious for the past few days, and she can't inquire about anything when she goes to the old lady, and she is also very careful when waiting for Lin Rusong, so as not to make him angry.

Lin Rusong never said whether she wanted to take her, she helped him sort out the cage while thinking about whether she wanted to tidy up her cage too, and the people in the yard secretly congratulated her when they saw her, if she stayed here, how would she live in the future? There is no future, either they are randomly assigned people, or they are here to guard this courtyard until they are old.

I'm going to set off tomorrow, but I don't know if I can keep up, Hongmei finally endured it to the limit, stretching out her head is also a knife, and shrinking her head is also a knife.

Hongmei found Qingzhu and tested him to see if there was any style.

Qingzhu only knows how to pretend to be stupid, and he plays Tai Chi with her, and he can't ask anything.

After waiting for Lin Rusong to wash up in the morning, Hongmei asked in a trembling voice: "Young master, tomorrow's cage has been sorted out for you, what is still missing when you see when the time comes?" Seeing that Lin Rusong just hummed for a while, he didn't say anything, bit his lip and said, "Can Hongmei also go to Jinling?" After a few breaths, I heard Lin Rusong's voice: "Yes." ”

Hongmei heard these two words, ecstatic, rubbed her hands and eagerly looked at Lin Rusong's departing back, as if she saw that there was a golden avenue in front of her, and she would become the master in the future, and there were also subordinates who came to serve her, wearing silk and sitting in the courtyard to enjoy the flowers, this is her own life in the future.

Lin Rusong arrived on the 26th to the auspicious time and his party went to Xijing, walked for more than 20 days to Xijing, and when Xu Lan received his letter to report safety, Xu Lan had already passed her eleventh birthday, and the family had begun to prepare for the New Year.

This year has been warmer than in previous years, and because of the addition of a little brother Xu An, there is a lot of excitement in poverty, and Chen Chong, Xu Tang, and Xu Xuangang have a lively Lantern Festival together. The next afternoon, Xu Tang was still in Xu Lan's room reminiscing about yesterday's grand occasion, looking at the lanterns on the table and Xu Lan chattering non-stop.

"Brother Chen Chong was really good yesterday, he guessed several lantern riddles, you said yes?"

"Well, it's pretty impressive." Xu Lan looked at Xu Tang's adoring eyes and said kindly.

"But our brother Xuan is also very powerful, and he guessed a few. Is the sky lantern put yesterday really spiritual? Xu Tang's thinking jumped a little.

"Well, sincerity is spirituality." Xu Lan looked at Xu Tang's appearance that she already had some thoughts about her little daughter, and touched her hair and said.

"Hey, Tang'er, do you have anything you are interested in, painting, playing the piano, calligraphy?" Xu Lan asked her one by one.

Xu Tang thought about it, as if he wanted to learn everything, but he didn't seem to have anything in particular that he wanted to learn.

"Think about what interests you the most, and then let's go and talk to my mother together to see if we can get a tutor to teach you." Xu Lan felt that if Xu Tang had a specialty, it would be easier for him to gain a foothold in the future.

Xu Tang nodded, knowing that his sister was for his own good.

Early the next morning, because it had passed the Lantern Festival, Xu Lan took her heart and went to the store with Shunzi, and when it was almost noon, Steward Zhao went to the office area to find Xu Lan.

Steward Zhao nodded and said, "Young Master, something happened to Cheng Ge's hometown, saying that the government sent people to the house to force Cheng Ge's hometown and his relatives to withdraw all the fields in the family. ”

Xu Lan thought of Master Chen, because why did he suddenly ask Cheng Ge Lao to return to the field at this time?

"Oh? Why? ”

"I don't know the specific situation yet, I went to the teahouse and sat for a while, but I couldn't hear the details, but I heard that the whole country is now letting the feudal kings and gentry who have a lot of enclosures retreat. It may have something to do with the homeless people some time ago. ”

It sounds like a good thing for the people.

Although Cheng Ge Lao is the first assistant, he is now a minister, and his relatives naturally have a lot of tundi with his relationship, and it is normal for the county government to take him under the knife.

"Did Cheng Ge retire?"

"I heard that the old family of the pavilion has retired, but those relatives have not yet, but since the pavilion has retired, those relatives can't be retained."

Naturally, there is a lot of loss in returning the land, and it is impossible for the county government to pay for it back. However, the old family naturally has other livelihoods, so there should be no problem in living.

Xu Lan felt that the matter should not be very serious, and it was reasonable for the court to do this, and she planned to ask Chen Chong when she saw him one day. (To be continued.) )
