Chapter 20: Peach Blossoms

"I'm afraid this maybe, it must be after the beginning of spring next year, Master has always been casual, and there will be no regular time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info you must often come to the temple to deliver the place, and when the time comes, you will naturally know when you inquire. Bingde replied.

Xu Lan thinks about it.

Xu Lan took out two pairs of shoes and handed them to Bingde, asking him to try if his pair was suitable.

Bingde thanked him and tried. Bingde stood up and stomped his feet and said, "It's very suitable and warm, and it won't freeze outside now." ”

Seeing that the time was almost up, Bingde called the novice over and asked him to have someone put the things on the carriage first, and drove the carriage to the gate. Shami said yes and asked someone to help.

Bingde looked at Xu Lan's young and old appearance, and wanted to say something to her with some compassion.

"If I'm not mistaken, in a few days, Xu Songke will be famous." Bingde quipped.

Xu Lan sighed, a little unable to react, and after a moment of thought, she knew that this was about her selling combs.

"Yes, do you have to become famous as soon as possible, don't waste your time, don't the ancient sages teach us like this?" Xu Lan also joked.

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Although the word fame and fortune are longed for by everyone, it may also be the source of trouble. Remember to be humble and reciprocate, and if you have any trouble, remember to take the wooden sign to the abbot. Bingde said calmly.

Xu Lan felt a warm spring in her heart, nodded, her voice was a little hoarse but she still said jokingly: "Don't look at my young age, but I'm not that stupid person, senior brother, don't worry, I also know that I have a few catties and a few taels, I won't do that out-of-the-ordinary thing, just ask for a little money, if there is a big move, I must come and report to my senior brother first." After saying that, he saluted.

Bingde couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, but when he said this, he also knew that he still knew it.

The two sat for a while, and when the old abbot came back, Xu Lan got up again and saluted and gave shoes. The abbot clapped his hands together and thanked Fang Fang for taking the shoes and letting Bingde take them with him. Fu went back and changed into his outfit and walked out together.

The abbot and the superintendent of the temple were waiting at the door, and after the group said goodbye, the carriage set off leisurely.

Xu Lan looked at the back of the vanishing carriage, although she said that she lied, she also took things to exchange with them, after all, they were willing to give her this opportunity, and her heart was full of gratitude.

After Xu Lan greeted the abbot and the hospital supervisor, everyone was polite and dispersed. Xu Lan and Steward Zhao went back to the side hall with the superintendent, and showed him the box sample first, the superintendent nodded and was very satisfied, and the two sides made a contract, first ordered fifty and ten cents each. I ordered it to be sent in five days. In the follow-up supply, someone will be sent to the store to spread the word, and the hospital supervisor will introduce them to the purchase in the hospital, and explain the future affairs and settle with him. After everything was over, Xu Lan told him again about the fact that Qianshi Temple also went to the store to order combs, and the hospital supervisor naturally would not interfere. Xu Lan and Steward Zhao took their leave.

After returning home, Steward Zhao went to order the box again. Xu Lan saw that there was nothing to do in the store for the time being, so she asked Shunzi to take her to Xu Xuan's school.

Shunzi used to follow Brother Xuan for a period of time, and he was also familiar with the Xu family's private school. There are quite a lot of people surnamed Xu in Xijingcheng, this is a private school opened by the surname Xu in the past, which has been opened for decades, and usually accepts the children of the Xu family, and also accepts children with foreign surnames, which is a bit like a school style.

Although it is said that the private school does not belong to anyone's family, it is not open at home, but has a separate courtyard. At the door, there are four big characters of Xu's private school. There was an old man at the door who was supposed to be the gatekeeper, and because he knew Shunzi, he didn't interrogate. And they came in.

Walking in, I first saw a simple garden scene, there are rockeries, there is a corridor, behind the corridor is the classroom, there is a loud reading sound. Because it is winter, the garden is a bleak scene.

Xu Lan took a look from a distance outside the window, and there were energetic students inside, as well as students who dozed off. There was a shaking head teacher in it, Xu Lan listened to it quite boringly, and was a little worried about Brother Xuan, this school is very important, and the atmosphere of the school is even more important, which can affect a person's academic performance. There were inattentive students inside who found him and Shunzi, and looked up at them, Xu Lan hurriedly took Shunzi to hide aside, after all, it was not good to disturb other people's studies.

By the way, he took her to the side hall to rest, and it turned out that Li An and the rest of the entourage were resting here. Someone is pushing cards, and someone is dozing off. Li An was watching others push cards, and was taken aback when he saw Xu Lan and Shunzi coming over, and hurriedly greeted him and gave a salute. Xu Lan nodded and said that she stopped by to see Xu Xuan. The subordinates present also estimated their identities and wanted to stop pushing the cards, so Xu Lan waved her hand and let them continue to play, and walked to the corner.

Li An hurriedly invited them to take a seat. Fu asked them if they could drink water, and there was only a kettle next to it, and there were a few thick bowls on the side of the kettle, which I thought were shared. Xu Lan said no. Li An was very clever, saying that he had his own cup, and sure enough, he took out a cup from the carry-on box, thinking that it was used by Xu Xuan. Xu Lan still excused herself and asked Xu Xuan when he would have intermission.

Li Ang said that the class had only started soon, and it would take half an hour to go.

Xu Lan thought that she couldn't wait so long, so she sat for a while and asked some about Xu Xuan's class. Ang Lee said that Childe is quite serious and can get along with his classmates. Xu Lan was also relieved, asked some trivial things, and came out with Shunzi.

It was still early, so Xu Lan asked Shunzi to take her to the suburbs to learn to ride a horse.

I'm much more proficient than before, so it's no problem to ride slowly. Xu Lan practiced confidently for a while, re-mounted the horse, and the two drove the horse home.

When she got home and had dinner, Xu Lan washed up, changed into a set of clothes and came out, and saw that Chen Po was cooking there, so Xu Lan said hello to her and went to Wang's to greet her first. Xu Yiliang and Brother Xuan are also there, and the plum blossoms in Wang's house have bloomed slightly, which is very good-looking. When Wang saw her, he said, "Come, come, you see that this plum blossom is blooming very beautifully, and it will be even more beautiful in a few days." I look at it every day, and my mood is much better, or do you know that it hurts your mother. Saying that, he deliberately glanced at Xu Yiliang and Brother Xuan, and Xu Lan pretended to be a little shy and lowered her head.

Xu Yiliang smiled wryly and said, "If you like it, I'll pick you a handful tomorrow, okay?" ”

Wang laughed when he heard this, and deliberately said, "I said that you only went, it's strange that you are not sincere." ”

Brother Xuan said that tomorrow he would find some other flowers. Wang was naturally happy when he heard it.

Wang took Xu Lan's hand and asked her to sit down and said that the day after tomorrow was its birthday, on the fifth day of December, asked her what she wanted for her birthday, Xu Lan said: "No other needs, as long as the whole family happily eats together, it's good, it's better to have the love and blessings of my mother and father than anything else." Besides, didn't my mother already make me a new set of clothes? “。

Wang listened to it very useful, so he said that the day after tomorrow let her take a day off, if there is anything she wants to play, Xu Lan thought that Brother Xuan'er would go to and from school normally on his birthday, so he also said that he didn't need to. said that it was the New Year soon, and it would be happy to have fun with the family when the New Year came. When Wang heard this, he didn't force it.

Chen Po had already said outside the door that the meal had been arranged, so Wang stood up and took Xu Lan's hand and said to eat. Wang walked to the hall and let go of his hand, Xu Lan went to call Tang'er first, took her hand and walked to the table and sat down. After eating quietly, everyone went to Wang's wing, and Wang said that Brother Xuan, Xu Lan, and Xu Tang would go and play by themselves. Fu also told Brother Xuan to go to study after eating. Xu Lan went back to the house with Xu Tang first and asked her what she had done today, and Xu Tang said that she had learned embroidery with Wang. Xu Lan accompanied her for a while, and the bird went to the study again.

Brother Xuan was holding a book and reading it again, and when he saw Xu Lan coming in, he asked if she had gone to the school to look for him, but what was the matter?

Xu Lan said: "I just went to see you, I didn't want to disturb your study and left after watching for a while." “

Xu Lan asked him again: "How are the teachers at school?" I couldn't understand what the teacher said, and it was very boring. ”

Brother Xuan said: "Today's teacher teaches the Analects, which is a bit boring, but I can still understand it, although it is not as good as the original teacher of the Hongkun Academy, but I can get along better with my classmates here." ”

Xu Lan nodded: "Then I can rest assured, although the teacher is very important, it is also very important that I am willing to learn."

Xu Lan said as she went to the bookshelf and pulled out a travelogue and read it.

In the wing, Wang and Xu Yiliang talked about things, saying that they had replied to the letter to the Wang family before, saying that the family had agreed, but they needed to ask Steward Zhao and his wife in person, after all, they had been in the Wang family for so long, and they couldn't say that they would go to the Xu family when they arrived at the Xu family, they must be willing to do it themselves. Steward Zhao also has a daughter who is not married, she is thirteen years old, and when she was in the Wang family, she followed them as husband and wife, and the two of them lived with her brother and sister-in-law after they arrived at the Xu family, but when they arrived at the Xu family, they must also follow the Xu family.
