When the Wang family heard this, they were very surprised, and hurriedly said that one son was the eldest son, and these two daughters were born to concubines. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The monk said again: "That's right. ”
went to take a closer look at Xu Lan's face, Wang looked at it and thought to himself, is there something wrong with this Xu Lan?
The monk then said to Wang: "If this woman is a man, she will definitely be able to support his eldest brother with her wife, and I have not seen the face of the young master now, but as long as I don't encounter treacherous people to break through the feng shui in the future, the poor monk will not dare to say that he will be in a high position in the future, but he will definitely be a local official." It's a pity that she's a woman. ”
When Wang heard that it was related to Brother Xuan, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and wanted to invite Brother Xuan, but saw that the monk was unwilling to stay for a long time.
The monk paused, changed his words, and said: "But there is also a way, let her live as a man, and then recover after the eldest son ties his hair, so that she can also form an auxiliary trend." ”
Wang listened and asked Mama Zhao to find Brother Xuan.
The senior monk waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Don't force it, the poor monk has already said a lot just now." Finally, I will send a few words to my wife, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, Mrs. is a blessing to come, just be lenient and treat others, forget the previous enemy, and do a lot of good deeds to accumulate virtue to enjoy the joy of family. Remember, remember. ”
After saying that, he took care of himself and left. Wang and Mama Zhao thanked again and again.
The Wang family was happy for a while and worried for a while, happy that Brother Xuan was going to be an official in the future, and he was so worried that he didn't bring him over just now, and he didn't let this senior monk see his face. Standing on the corridor for a while, I carefully recalled the words of the monk just now, and when the monk asked Xu Lan to be a man just now, I couldn't sit still and wanted to talk to Xu Yiliang.
Xu Lan saw Wang's expression and knew that Wang had listened to the monk's words.
"You go find the master, let me come over." Wang spoke to Mama Zhao.
Mama Zhao bowed and went out.
"Mother, you sit down first" Xu Lan helped Wang sit down.
Wang held Xu Lan's hand, looked at Xu Lan's face carefully, and saw that she looked sincere and careful. Thinking that although she was born to Aunt Xue, her temperament is very different, and Aunt Xue has also passed away for so many years. Wang thought about it, the method of male appearance is still very feasible, but he still has to discuss it with Xu Yiliang.
After a while, Xu Yiliang and Brother Xuan came over from the other end of the corridor. Xu Yiliang was wearing a gray straight dress, and his clothes were ordinary. Xu Yiliang has a pair of long eyebrows, and when he was young, those eyebrows were Wang's favorite. It's just too skinny, and the cheeks are sunken. There was a sense of wind and frost on his face.
The Wang family asked Xu Lan and them to go to the yard to play.
Xu Yiliang looked at Wang and seemed to have something to say to him, and stood still in front of her. Wang said what the monk said just now. He told him in advance how he was pregnant and had a calamity, and then said that he would be blessed in the future. Seeing that Xu Yiliang's face was a little happy, he talked about Xu Lan's male appearance.
When people are down, it is always easy to believe in the people who bring them hope, hoping to seize these hopes and turn over. And it's not that hard to do. If Brother Qi Xuan is not a feudal official in the future, no matter how bad it is, it will be a glorious lintel to be a county order, and he will change the court for the Xu family.
Xu Yiyi said: "It's not difficult, I told Xu Lan that she will be able to understand, and it is also beneficial for Brother Xuan to be an official." ”
When Wang heard this, he happily took Xu Yiliang's hand and asked him to sit down.
Xu Lan watched Wang and Xu Yiliang whispering happily, and Mama Zhao rested a little farther away. knew that this matter must have been done, and the relationship between Wang and Xu Yiliang seemed to be better.
"Brother, what's going on with the fish outside just now?" Xu Lan looked at Brother Xuan, who was catching Qingfei, and said.
"Oh, it's a lot of fish rolling their eyes, a lot of fish waiters are fishing there, I don't know what's going on, the fish waiter said it was like poisoning, and it was said that someone might have drugged the water." Brother Xuan said with a gossipy look.
"Do you say that the Buddha has appeared or not, is it to foreshadow something?" After a fight today, Brother Xuan and Xu Lan are obviously much closer.
"Well, maybe." Xu Lan thought that she didn't know who was so bold. This square battle of Qinghua Temple is said to be quite famous, and he is also a high-ranking monk with high morality, otherwise would Cheng Ge bring his family here? If it is found out, it is estimated that the person is in trouble.
But she doesn't care about these things that are none of her business.
After a while, Wang called them to the Hall of Oil Lamps to light the oil lamps.
But the strange thing is that the west side hall is still not unsealed, and the curtain is still pulled. pulled a monk and asked, saying that there was something wrong, and he couldn't solve it for a while, Xu Yiliang was afraid that the Wang family would be uncomfortable for a long time and wanted to go home earlier, so he asked the monk to help him light a lamp, and donated some sesame oil money. before he came out of the temple.
When she walked outside the gate of Huaiyang County, Xu Lan deliberately lifted the curtain to see that there were still homeless people outside, and the soldiers guarding the gate did not let them enter the city, so they built simple houses outside the city to live. Xu Lan was glad that although she was not well fed and clothed before, at least she still had an eaves to protect her from the rain. Unlike them, who are displaced, the world is not very peaceful. Secretly made up his mind that he must have the ability to live well in this world and keep his current relatives well.
It was already late when he got home, so he went back to the house to rest for a while, and Xu Yiliang came over to talk to Xu Lan.
"You also listened to what the monk said today, right?" Xu Yiliang looked at Xu Lan and said, although he also wanted Xu Lan to be a man, he was worried that Xu Lan would not be willing, and he felt that he had never cared much about the two daughters in the family, and Xu Lan was still in the village before, and the scene was still vivid when he first went to pick her up. Now for the sake of the eldest son, I want my daughter to do such a thing, and I can't help but feel a little guilty.
Xu Lan looked at his expression, and felt that this father was flesh and blood.
"Father, I know. I am willing to be a man and am willing to assist Brother Xuan. Xu Lan said directly.
Xu Yiliang looked at his daughter and felt a warm feeling.
"Father, I want to follow my brother to read and write, so that I can always urge my brother to read, so that Lan'er can also be literate, Lan'er doesn't have to go to private school, brother, my father can teach Lan'er." Xu Landao, this is one of her purposes.
Xu Yiliang touched his daughter's head a little stiffly, and said with some excitement: "Yes, of course, my father will teach you." Xu Yiliang felt that he had really neglected his family too much before.
"Let's start tomorrow, okay?" Xu Lan said eagerly.
Xu Yiliang thought that his daughter was relieving him and nodded hurriedly.
In the evening, Brother Xuan went to her room, as if he wanted to visit their room, looked around, and then said: "Sister, does your leg still hurt?" Xu Lan suddenly understood and laughed, Brother Xuan was concerned about himself and felt a little deliberate. Busy said, "It's out of the way, it's much better." Brother Xuan took an ointment and gave it to her. It is said that Junko bought it on purpose. Xu Lan took the ointment and thanked him very happily with a very surprised look. Brother Xuan felt that he had done something that his brother should do, and he instructed her to wipe it well.
Xu Lan took a look at it at night, her legs were still swollen, and there was a bruise on her white and tender legs, which looked a little scary, and Xu Tang gasped beside her. "Sister, it looks terrible, but it doesn't hurt, it'll be fine if you disperse in a few days," Xu Lan comforted.
The next day, Xu Yiliang and the Wang family vacated the lounge for Xu Lan to live in, and gave Brother Xuan's clothes to Xu Lan to wear. The two of them are about the same height, so there is no need to change them. I made two more sets for her.
Xu Lan could see that the Wang family was still grateful to her, although she was not her biological mother, and she used to treat herself harshly, but she also knew that it was because of Aunt Xue, and she had no feelings for Aunt Xue, but she felt that she was an acquaintance with some memories, so she wanted to reconcile with the Wang family, and there was nothing she couldn't get over.
Moreover, the Wang family is also considered to be born in a scholarly family, and he is more disciplined. I have read some books and understand some truths, which is much better than that of a woman in the market. Like the women here, they abide by women's morals, respect their husbands, and be bound by etiquette and religion. Otherwise, it would not have made the scheming Aunt Xue proud for so long. If it weren't for Mama Liu giving her advice on the side, she must not know if it was her or Aunt Xue who was proud now.
Xu Lan half-tied her hair, put on a net hat, and put on Brother Xuan'er's clothes, which really had an indistinguishable taste from male and female. Xu Yiliang left a notebook of 100 family names for her to practice on the same day, and promised to come back in the evening to teach her. In addition to working, Xu Lan stayed in the study to read. In fact, most of these characters are still recognized, but some traditional characters are not fully recognized. But no matter what, it won't be strange for everyone to be literate in the future.
