Chapter 3 Inquiry

When Wang saw Junzi walk in, he asked, "Didn't you learn some boxing and kicking from the former nursing home?" Why did you still let Xu Xuan call someone else? ”

Shunzi saluted, bowed his head and replied: "The little one was waiting outside, and when he heard the noise, he hurriedly ran in, and saw that the young master was arguing with the people in the same hall and had torn his clothes." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info hurriedly escorted the young master back first, a small dereliction of duty, please punish. ”

"Mother, don't blame Junzi for this, Junko was punched in the back a few times in order to protect me, and he was jumped." Xu Xuan couldn't help but argue.

Wang took a few breaths and said: "No matter what, since you follow Brother Xuan, you should protect him, forget it this time, don't take it as an example." After a pause, he continued, "The wound on your back is serious. "Thinking that all the money has been paid recently, and I have to pay a sum of money for medical expenses, I can't help but feel irritable.

Junko still respectfully said: "It's okay with the injuries on my body, but I'm just a student of the academy, and I don't have much strength." ”

Wang waved his hand and let him go down.

Xu Lan thought about it for a while, after dinner, she saw that Wang, Xu Yiliang and Xu Xuan were in the study house, and she was afraid that she was discussing the matter of reading, so she took the ointment and walked out.

Looking at the anti-bruising cream in her hand, Xu Lan remembered Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui was originally serving the old lady, and the old lady saw that after Aunt Xue's death, she was really pressed by Mama Liu by Wang's side. After all, she is the granddaughter of the Xu family, so she often sends Xiaocui over to deliver food and medicine. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will already starve to death. Before, because she was often blacked out by Wang's grandmother, her body was blue and purple, so she prepared this ointment. If you have the opportunity to repay her in the future, you will definitely repay her. I don't know where she sold it.

On the second day, when Xu Lan swept to the outer courtyard, Shunzi stepped on a pair of muddy feet and came back from outside, so she should have gone to work in the garden outside. Seeing that Xu Lan was sweeping the floor, she was busy lowering her head and lowering her eyes, and she didn't look around.

"Brother Junko, are you carrying it better?" Xu Lan had some innocent questions.

Obviously, Junzi still couldn't accept this title, and said respectfully: "Miss call me Junko."

"Hehe, then Shunzi," Xu Lan knew that in this hierarchical society, although she also worked like a maid, she was also Xu Yiliang's daughter after all. is also a young lady of the Xiucai master's family, so she doesn't insist on it. And if it's really called like this in the future, I'm afraid it will be regarded as having bad intentions.

"Is the injury on your back okay?" asked Xu Lan again.

"It's okay, it's much better with the plaster." Junzi glanced at Xu Lan quickly. Xu Lan looks like Aunt Xue. Although it is still small and has not grown, the foundation of the beauty embryo is already there. His long eyelashes were like fans, and his black and white eyes looked at him with concern.

"Oh, that's good." Xu Lan didn't say much, and went to the stove to help Mama Li work.

The straight went to the corner of the wall to fetch water and went outside to flush his feet.

In the stove room, Xu Lan squatted in front of the stove to light the fire, and the firelight reflected Xu Lan's face red.

"Mama Li, why haven't I seen Junzi before?" Xu Lan pretended to be curious and asked casually. Xu Lan and Shunzi hadn't spoken before. I haven't paid much attention to him since I got here.

Mama Li knew that Xu Lan was not treated by the Wang family, but Xu Lan didn't have a young lady at all, it was estimated that she had lived in the countryside, and she was diligent and neat in her work. I don't talk much, but I always do what I can. So I still feel sorry for the sensible Xu Lan in my heart. It's just that he doesn't show it on his face, for fear that the Wang family has ideas.

Mama Li chatted with her: "It is said that Shunzi is the old man of Xufu, that is, your grandfather, who picked it up from the street, and when he first picked it up, the whole person was as thin as a monkey, but his eyes were particularly bright." Your grandfather rewarded him with a bite to eat, he used to be in the outer courtyard, living with Master Cheng in the nursing home, often running errands and delivering letters to your grandfather, and didn't care about the affairs of the inner courtyard, it is normal for you not to recognize him. ”

"Later, when the old man died, he helped the old lady run errands."

"The old lady has also passed away, and it is strange and pitiful where he can go as an orphan." Mama Li thought of herself as she spoke, and her eyes were red.

Xu Lan didn't expect to arouse Mama Li's sadness. Because I didn't know each other well before in Xufu, I only met occasionally, and I knew that Mama Li had been helping on the stove. But not a serious chef. For as long as she can remember, she has been in the house. And I heard others say that she was widowed at an early age and had only one daughter. My daughter will also take her back for the holidays every New Year's Day.

"Mama, I'm sorry to make you sad," Xu Lan blurted out.

"It's okay, miss," Mama wiped the corners of her eyes and said to her with a smile. Xu Lan felt quite uncomfortable. Presumably, her daughter also has some difficulties, otherwise she wouldn't have taken her back after all the incidents in the Xu Mansion.

"It's good for the slave to stay here, I've been in Xu Mansion all my life, and I'm not willing to leave Xu Mansion, and I'm quite used to it. The work is not heavy, it just so happens that my wife and son can do it again, and I can buy clothes for my little nephew with a monthly bill. The slave and maid are content. Xu Lan suddenly thought of the word contentment and happiness.

Xu Lan finished breakfast, helped Mama Li clean up the chores, and took Xu Tang to the Wang's east wing to say goodbye as usual.

Brother Xuan didn't go to school today. After breakfast, I stayed in my father's study.

Father took Steward Zhao out of the house.

Wang was holding the needle and thread but was in a daze. Xu Lan took Xu Tang and called "Mother" with blessings. Wang looked at their sisters and nodded. He didn't want to talk to them.

The east wing is separated by two rooms, the inside is a bedroom, and there is a chaise longue and a few chairs outside. There was a tall cabinet on the wall, and on the cabinet was a beauty bottle, and the bottle was empty without flower arrangements, which were brought out of the house.

Later, Wang's elder brother came over and was able to move some things out of the house.

"Mother, it's my brother's birthday in a few days, Tang'er and I want to make some socks for Brother Xuan, and we don't have anything else to 。。。。。." Xu Lan pretended to be embarrassed, lowered her head and said softer and softer.

Wang listened and took a deep look at her, she didn't bother to look at them when she was in the house before, she just raised Xu Tang, only lacked food and clothing, but for Xu Lan, she hated the house and Wu, and she was unwilling to do it, so she let the people below do it. At that time, it was sent to the country grange and left it to fend for itself.

Aunt Xue died, but the Wang family did not feel relieved, but a little lost. The breath swallowed and reached his chest.

There are four rooms in the east and west side rooms in the second courtyard, and the rooms are not very big. The east side room is piled up with things brought out from the Xu Mansion. One is empty, one is for Xu Lan and Xu Tang, and the other is a rest room, and breakfast in the inner courtyard is placed here.

Wang took them to the side room, the things piled up inside had not been properly organized, the fabrics were randomly piled on the cabinet, Wang took a few feet of silk cotton and handed it to Xu Lan.

I looked at them and took some kapok and linen.

"You're not too young, take these to practice your hands." Wang's Road. It's up to them to do something on their own. "Mama Zhao will come back in the next two days, and let her teach you then."

"Yes, Mother." Xu Lan should arrive, Xu Lan can still make simple socks, but she can't cut cloth and make clothes, and the embroidery is also average. I was bored to learn from Xiaocui before. But I don't like to do that.

Xu Lan saw that there were still some rulers, and it was definitely not enough to make clothes.

"Mother, can you give us these rulers?" Xu Lan pretended to be embarrassed.

Wang looked at her and pointed out, these are brocade materials, which are left over for Brother Xuan to make clothes, but it is not enough to make clothes, but it can also make a few handkerchiefs. Just give it to them.

After Xu Lan thanked him, he walked out. I don't see much else.

Passing by the study, I saw Brother Xuan writing with a pen. Brother Xuan made a grimace at them, from childhood to adulthood, his mother didn't let him get too close to his two younger sisters. When Xu Lan saw her, she was blessed, and took Xu Tang back to the side room with the size and needlework of Brother Xuan'er given by Wang.

After returning to the side room, Xu Lan took the fabric and asked, "Xiaotang, do you know how to embroider, how about you embroider some patterns on both sides of the socks when the time comes?" ”

"Okay, I'll think about it." Xu Tang said seriously.

"Then we will make a few pieces of cloth for this brocade, what pattern do you want to embroider on it, this brocade is lake blue, fortunately the color is more elegant, and it is good to match light pink."

Xu Tang listened to the look of seriously tilting his head and trying to think.
