Chapter 4: Happy Events
Xu Lan was cute by her and touched her head. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Although this sister is not amazing, she must be quite handsome when she grows up.
In the evening, Xu Lan went to ask Mama Li how to make socks.
On the second day, I ate wontons, with lard skins and a little green onions, filling the inner courtyard with the fragrance. Brother Xuan rarely ate deliciously. Xu Lan also thought it tasted good, so she suggested that Mama Li fry the lard and put the skin in it, and sure enough, the smell is still the same as in her previous life.
"Well, this smells very fragrant," Xu Yiliang praised.
As soon as he finished praising it, Wang Shi was disgusted, and he couldn't hold back and ran back to the East Chamber.
The whole family looked at the Wang family strangely, and then looked at Xu Yiliang.
"It's okay, it's okay, you eat first" Xu Yiliang went to the wing.
After a while, breakfast is over. Xu Lan packed up the dishes and chopsticks and walked back to the inner courtyard.
Seeing Xu Yiliang explain to Brother Xuan, "You go and change your clothes, take pen and ink, and take you to Xu's private school in a while." Xu Yiliang said. After talking for a while, he went out.
It was almost noon, and I saw that Mama Zhao was back, and several **** were in the shop and did not come back. He also brought a healer with him, and hung a medicine box. Hurried to the east wing.
After a while, Mama Zhao politely sent him out. The healer said a few words and left.
Xu Lan helped Mama Li make lunch and made a sauerkraut and a spicy dish.
Mama Li smiled and said, "Your mother should be pregnant!" ”
Xu Lan was shocked, thinking that her mother had vomited in the morning, and she was a doctor again. I also understood.
Sure enough, at lunchtime, Xu Yiliang came back and called everyone to the hall to talk and announce the matter.
Wang's expression was a little twisted and a little shy. I gave birth to Brother Xuan, and I never got pregnant again, but I didn't expect to be pregnant again ten years later, although the family wealth was exhausted, but the husband and wife had a harmonious relationship.
Xu Yiliang was still very happy, arranged for some delicious food to be burned on the stove, and asked Mama Zhao not to go to the shop first, and to serve the Wang family at home. Let the Xu sisters not rush into their mother.
Everyone was happy, feeling that there was a happy event at home, and the previous haze was swept away, as if they saw the hope of life again.
Brother Xuan was the happiest, and surrounded the Wang family and said that I have a younger brother, I have a younger brother. The Wang family also hopes to add another younger brother to the Xu family, after all, the Xu family's sons have always been very thin. looked at Brother Xuan'er's appearance with a smile.
On the third day of October, Xu Lan and Xu Tang made Brother Xuan's socks, embroidered a dark blue auspicious cloud pattern on both sides of the socks, and Xu Lan also made a careful edging of the socks, which looked low-key and high-end. By the way, I helped Wang, Xu Yiliang, and Zhao to do it.
Brother Xuan, Xu Yiliang, and Wang used silk cotton, and the others used cotton.
The two of them took the finished socks and a few handkerchiefs to Wang's house, Wang's mood has been good these days, looking at the socks obviously carefully made, the smile deepened a little. happily handed it over to Mama Zhao.
"On the sixth day of October, I am going to go to Qinghua Temple to offer incense, and you will go with you." Wang said with a smile.
"Really?" Xu Tang jumped up happily, after all, he was still a child, and he pulled Xu Lan's sleeve and jumped up happily. Xu Lan was also happy in her heart, hugged Xu Tang and said, "We want to thank our mother." ”
Xu Tang hurriedly stood up and said, "Thank you, mother," Xu Lan also thanked her.
Xu Lan was very happy that Wang was able to change his attitude towards her, which was a good start.
After dinner, it was already dark, Xu Lan took the sewing basket and came to the west side of the outer courtyard first, the west wing room was only lived by Shunzi, Xu Lan stood in front of Shunzi's door and knocked on the door.
Junzi opened the door and saw Xu Lan a little surprised, and couldn't guess her intention for a while.
"Junko, can I go in and sit down?" Xu Lan tilted her head and pretended to be innocent.
Rao is the two have been more familiar with each other in the past few days, and Shunzi is still a little at a loss when she hears it, feeling that the young lady is not in accordance with the rules when she enters the room of the little maid, and she feels that the master speaks, how can she refuse. Seeing Xu Lan's innocent appearance, he quickly made a choice and turned sideways to let Xu Lan in.
Xu Lan looked at him struggling, and strode in.
The room was simple with a wooden bed, a chair next to the bed, and a wooden box in the corner. Somewhat dated, but the room was clean.
Xu Lan took out the socks in the sewing basket.
"This is what our sisters have done in the past two days, the needlework is simple, I hope you don't dislike it." Xu Lan said, afraid that he would refuse, and then said: "The family is now simple, and we have made the socks of my parents and grandmother." "This is to ask him not to abide by the previous rules too much, no more than before, and now there are fewer people. Our sister will do the thing.
Obviously, Shunzi didn't expect Xu Lan to make socks for him, although everyone has them, but he can't help but feel grateful and embarrassed, he is running around these days, the previous socks have long been broken, and now it is the time to grow the body, and the socks are also short.
Xu Lan looked at Shunzi, although she was a little twisted, but she still pretended to be old and generous, accepted the socks and said thank you. Xu Lan looked at his awkward appearance, thinking that he was still a child.
"I want to ask you for something." Xu Lan paused for a moment and then said seriously: "I want to live in men's clothes like you." ”
Junko couldn't believe her ears, and her eyes widened as if she wanted to confirm if she had misheard just now. Although the light in the room was a little dim, he saw Xu Lan's serious face.
Although some children are raised as girls, some of them were boys. That's just infirmity or various reasons, all of which are approved by fortune tellers. Didn't say what I wanted.
"But miss, why do you wear men's clothes?" Junko raised the question in her mind.
He didn't think Xu Lan was joking, but he still had some doubts.
"I just want to be like you, so I can go out if I want to. Free, you know? It's freedom! If I had told my father and mother directly, I would definitely not agree, so I had to find a compromise. And I don't want to live my life like my aunt, can you understand? Xu Lan said seriously.
Junzi looked at her in surprise, feeling that she was bold and a little admired, although he didn't know Aunt Xue, he still understood Xu Lan's thoughts a little.
"In the past two days, I want you to help me find someone, and then teach him as I say" Xu Lan was afraid that he would not agree. "This is a debt I owe you, and you can ask me to do something in the future, and I won't hurt anyone by doing so." Xu Lan looked at Shunzi with expectant eyes, and then took a cloth bag, which was a gold bracelet and a golden hairpin, which was left to her by Aunt Xue, and she picked these two things from it.
Xu Lan whispered what she wanted him to help do, and then looked at him earnestly.
Shunzi couldn't resist Xu Lan's gaze, so he nodded and agreed. After thinking about it, it really didn't hurt anyone.
Xu Lan looked at him and nodded, her gorgeous smile bloomed, and the room seemed to light up suddenly.
Xu Lan talked to him in detail about how to arrange it, and after speaking, she didn't stay long, and after she came out, she went to Mama Li's side.
Junzi looked at the figure of Xu Lan walking out, still thinking carefully about what Xu Lan said just now, and felt that it was really unusual for a child to say such a thing, a little surprised, and a little admired.
Xu Tang couldn't sleep excitedly on the first night of the sixth day of October, and Xu Lan accompanied her for a while before finally falling asleep.
They got up early in the morning on the sixth day of October, packed up and set off at the end of the day. Because it's going to be nearly an hour by car.
When he went out, Shunzi had already set up the carriage and Steward Zhao was already waiting there, Steward Zhao rented a carriage which was quite exquisite, covered with soft cushions, Xu Yiliang helped Wang to get into the carriage, followed Brother Xuan'er on, Xu Lan Xu Tang and Mama Zhao sat in another car. After telling Mama Li to take care of her family, the group set off to Tsinghua Temple.
There are several Buddhist temples in Huaiyang County, and the incense of Qinghua Temple is the most vigorous. It must have been that people of this age believed in Buddhism. And on the day of Laba, the temple will also come out to Shi Laba porridge.
Xu Tang was curious, and pulled the curtain to peek out on the street.
