CHAPTER XXVIII
Xiu'er said: "This is strange, is there any difference between the people of the third young master and the people here of us?" Even if he was summoned temporarily, and he didn't say that he wanted to give a reward, what would you want to reward him? ”
Wan Chun smiled: "Having said that, but people have done something for you, you can't help but express your gratitude to them." If it was in a courtyard, it would be fine, Li Hui ran outside, it was considered to be dedicated, I think the foreign lantern they sent in that day was good, they followed the third young master, and they must have a chimney box with him, so it will be more convenient for him to use the lamp in the future. ”
When Xiu'er heard this, she grabbed her braid and smiled and said, "Although the foreign lantern is not valuable, it is rare to use it a lot." Well, it's not a big deal to send this. After speaking, he shook his hand, threw the big braid tied with the red head rope to his back, and opened the small cabinet door in front of the top vertical cabinet of Huanghuali Baibao intarsia flower and bird picture, turned it a few times, and took out a small cardboard box and said, "This lamp is still the last time the second lady gave you a birthday, along with the flower candle sent together, there are no smokers in our house, but it has been hidden in the snow for many days, and I don't know if it can be used." ”
So she took out one and wiped it, and saw that a flame appeared on the pointed head of the black fedora, and it could still be used, so she hurriedly blew it out, stuffed the foreign lantern in her arms, and waited for Li Hui to come back and hand it to him.
Because Wanchun recently listened to Fred's words and wanted to rehabilitate, in the afternoon, Xiu'er and Zhou's mother would always have one of them take half an hour to help her walk around the edge of the bed. Today, it was Xiu'er's turn, in order to help Wanchun off the bed safely and not aggravate her injuries, she had to lower half of her body and pretend to be a crutch, asking Wanchun to wrap her arms around her shoulders and support her with one hand before she could get up from the bed.
This time it was still the same, but Wan Chun got up and was careless for a moment, and she forgot all about the things she was still writing to Jin Li, and the paper and pen that were originally spread on the quilt rolled to the ground as she started.
In a panic, Xiu'er hurriedly hooked the fountain pen that was about to roll under the bed with her foot, supported Wanchun to stand up, and only then did she bow down slightly, pick up the pen and paper and ask her, "Fourth Miss, what are you writing here?" ”
Wan Chunxiao took the letter, folded it in two and put it in the drawer of the desk and said, "Jin Li sent a letter from Shanghai, and I rushed to reply to her." ”
"From Miss Cousin?" Xiu'er had a three-point smile on her face, and said while helping Wanchun walk, "What did she say in the letter?" ”
Wan Chun said: "It's nothing more than what I've done recently, Jin Li's child's temper hasn't changed much in middle school." Well, the letter also mentioned her opinion on the alumni, saying that it was difficult to communicate with them, and it was better to go to the old capital to study. ”
Phew! Xiu'er couldn't help laughing, put her arm around Wanchun and said, "Probably because Miss Biao is the only child in her family, and the two of you are close in age, so her relationship with Miss Fourth is especially good." Have you forgotten, when you came last summer, the two of you stole and went to the backyard garden in the middle of the night to pick grapes to eat, and asked Steward Li to be the thief and catch him, and he was disciplined by the old gentleman and the gentleman, aren't you just a child? It's just that you graduated this year, and you look like an adult, and I don't want to think about it for two years, and when Miss Cousin graduates, it's time to change sex. ”
"Why transsexuality? I think she has a good temper. Wan Chun also smiled and said, "Lively, like a lark." ”
"Yes, yes, larks."
Xiu'er pouted with a smile, why didn't she know the benefits of liveliness? At that time, before they arrived at the Jing'an Mansion, when their family lived in a large courtyard, what kind of people had not seen it? The girl who plays the small drum, the girl who sells ice cores, and the girl who plays the three strings are all lively, but this liveliness is still good for girls, and when they are forced by life or get married, who can be lively? Jin Li's family is certainly wealthy, but it is impossible for her not to get married to her family one day, and when she enters someone else's door, she can't be compared with being at home, and naturally her temper will be a little restrained.
But she didn't say this well in front of Wan Chun, but when she remembered the miscellaneous courtyard, she reminded her of a heart, and said to Wan Chun: "You promised to write me a letter to my family before?" Since you want to reply to Miss Fourth this time, why don't you also write it for me, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble when you send the letter together? ”
Wan Chun also remembered that she had promised her this, so she smiled and said: "That's right, there is ready-made pen and ink here, you help me sit down, and you say I'll write it for you." ”
"Okay." Xiu'er laughed, and really helped Wanchun to sit in front of the bookcase, took a foot pedal, and carefully put her foot on it. I only lay in the corner of the bookcase, and thought about it for a while with my cheeks, before I said, "Fourth Miss, you just write that I eat and live here very well, and yesterday Mrs. asked the house to tailor winter clothes for us, and Fourth Miss treated me very well, so they don't have to worry." ”
She said very concisely, and her words were real, Wan Chun couldn't help but laugh as soon as she started writing, and said, "Don't you have anything else to say?" has only said a few words, what is the meaning of Baba's delivery to Xiangtan? ”
Xiu'er smiled and said: "I don't have anything to say in the first place, writing back is just to reassure them, if you think I have less to say, I will add a few more strokes." ”
Wan Chun nodded, then picked up the pen again and said, "Then, I will give you a few more kind words so that your parents can relax." Now that you are at an age where you can get married, there is a good person in our house who can afford you, and you can also become a member of our family in the future. ”
She said in her mouth, and her hand did not stop for a moment, and the pen walked the dragon and snake, and she wrote two lines of words when she landed. At first, Xiu'er thought that she really wanted to give herself a few good words, and when she heard the later words, she unconsciously reached over and grabbed her notepaper and said, "Why are you so naughty?" People are serious about doing things with you, and you will make trouble for others, so I don't allow you to write like this. ”
Two of you, you snatched me, and you had a lot of fun.
Mother Zhou stepped into the door, and couldn't help clapping her hands and shouting: "Xiu'er, you are becoming more and more unruly, and you are not big or small in front of Miss, hurt her carefully." ”
Xiu'er grabbed Zhenghuan, her forehead was drenched with sweat, and she just grabbed the letter in Wanchun's hand and smiled: "Mother Zhou, your old man only looks at the present, and you don't ask clearly why you scold people again, and the fourth lady is trying to tease me." ”
Mother Zhou smiled at her and said, "What's the reason, she just teases you, what can you do?" Don't mess with her, it was said outside that the young lady of the Liu family brought someone to meet our fourth young lady, you are crazy like this, let outsiders see what's wrong. ”
When Wanchun and Xiu'er heard this, they all spread their hands and stopped making trouble. Wan Chun then cleaned up the letterhead in front of her a few times, put it in the drawer, and asked Zhou's mother, "Where is Miss Liu now?" ”
Zhou's mother pointed out the window and said, "She is waiting in the front hall, I thought you would be rehabilitated in the afternoon, and I didn't know if it was inconvenient to meet guests, so I came over first to ask what you meant." ”
Wan Chun smiled unconsciously, Jing Yu has always been deeply ashamed since she won the championship, knowing that she had a foot injury and had never visited her in the house. This time, I am afraid that it is not just as simple as visiting, she also has something to say to Jingyu, so she said: "Miss Liu will come again in the future, don't ask me what I mean, just invite her in, there are not so many rules between the two of us." ”
"Hey." Zhou's mother answered, and hurriedly turned around to invite Liu Jingyu and them in.
Xiu'er tidied up Wanchun's clothes in the room, but Wanchun didn't get up before she touched her foot injury. Outside Jingyu waited with Zhou Xiang for a while, and then followed Zhou's mother to Wanchun's room, when they saw Jingyu had not yet spoken, Zhou Xiang first said quickly: "Miss Li, I haven't seen you for many days." ”
Wanchun didn't expect her to come over with Jingyu, and she also smiled and said, "Miss Zhou, don't come to harm." ”
Zhou Xiang laughed, took Jingyu's hand and walked to her side a few steps and said, "It seems that you probably don't know, but there is a big news about you outside." ”
Wan Chun's eyelids jumped twice, if it was as expected, the big news in Zhou Xiang's words should be the abstention statement that he released the rumors. Sure enough, Mr. Zhang did a good errand, and he was able to alarm Liu and Erren.
Now that the play has been sung to this point, she has to be ten out of ten in order not to arouse suspicion, so she pretended to be puzzled, and ordered Xiu'er to take the embroidery pier and let the two sit down, Fang Luoluo raised her head and asked, "What is the news?" ”
Jing Yu handed over the newspaper he had been holding in his hand, and said with a cautious expression: "I don't understand a word, you better take a look at this first." ”
Wan Chun opened the newspaper and read it, the content was really as he had instructed, and he used the brushstrokes of a media person to analyze the reasons why he could not participate in the competition.
After reading it, Wan Chun put the newspaper aside and said: "This is not a big deal, what he said is the truth, I am indeed no longer suitable to participate in any social activities recently because of my foot injury." ”
Zhou Xiang said: "Then it shouldn't be so a statement for you, the reopening date of the school flower competition can be determined, but when this statement is published, where do you still have the opportunity to participate?" I'm curious, who's having trouble with you like this? ”
Wan Chun raised her lips slightly, she was wearing a flag dress today, so she pulled a handkerchief from her flank, and said lightly: "I don't know who can't get along with me like this, but it's not a bad thing, forget it."
"How can this be said and settled?" Zhou Xiang furrowed his brows, and couldn't help but sink the corners of his mouth and snort, "I guessed a person, only this person can have a reason to create rumors about you." ”
Wan Chun and Jing Yu asked her together, "Who do you guess?" ”
Zhou Xiang pursed his lips, only held his two fingers high, shook it and said, "Who else, except for the one from the Zhao family, I can't think of anyone with such a small belly." ”
