Chapter 317: Little Master and Servant
When Yu Shu went home in the evening, Yu Xiaoxiu had already seen Bai Ran and knew from Bai Ran that this was the scholar Yu Shu bought for him.
After dinner, Yu Shu called the few people he bought today to Zhao Hui, Zhao Hui recognized the people kindly, distributed them detailed things to do, and arranged a place to eat and sleep, and then Yu Shu pretended to be black and lectured a few words, and then let them follow Shen's mother.
After the person left, Zhao Hui asked her about Bai Ran again, and Yu Shu claimed that Bai Ran was a scholarly disciple who was in trouble. In the morning, when she brought people out of the courtyard, she told Bai Ran that she didn't have to tell her family about his life experience, because she was afraid that Zhao Hui and they would feel uncomfortable after knowing that this was the little son of the Jiedu envoy, so Bai Ran was very obedient and didn't say much.
Zhao Hui introduced a woman, and she couldn't recognize a few big characters, and when she heard that Bai Ran was literate and could read, she looked up to her in her heart, so she discussed with Yu Shu:
"This kid, I look at it as a sensible person, it turns out that his background is also pitiful, since he is looking for Xiao Xiu to be his companion, I don't think I should arrange to live in the next person's room, let me sleep in the same room with Xiao Xiu, they boys also have something to say, just so as not to let Xiao Xiu lie in bed these days to recuperate, do you think this is good?"
Yu Shu nodded and agreed: "Godmother, just look good."
Yu Xiaoxiu's house is spacious, and there is a small room opposite the hall, which was originally empty for the little scholar to live in, and there is a simple set of furniture inside, Zhao Hui asked Shen's mother to add two quilts, and she can sleep on the bed.
There was suddenly a boy about the same age as himself in the house, Yu Xiaoxiu didn't have much resistance, this was inseparable from Bai Ranwen's quiet temperament, of course, it was mainly because Yu Shu brought it back, in Yu Xiaoxiu's opinion, no matter what his sister did, it was for his good.
In the evening, Yu Shu took care of Yu Xiaoxiu's room for half an hour, and then went back to her room, she ran outside during the day, and she was also a little tired, so she leaned on the head of the bed and watched for a while. Just go to sleep.
On the contrary, Yu Xiaoxiu slept a lot during the day, and was a little sleepless at night, holding the wrapped Yan Shan head, sat up from the bed, put on his clothes and walked out of bed, intending to look on the table, he heard someone ask softly outside the door:
"Little Master, have you rested?"
He hesitated. Yu Xiaoxiu walked over to open the door, and saw that in the dim light, Bai Ran was standing at the door, looking at him with some embarrassment, the young man had not yet grown, and his height was two fingers taller than him at best.
"Young Master. Did the villain make you rest?"
Hearing such a polite boy calling himself a villain, and respectfully calling him young master, Yu Xiaoxiu scratched his neck and shook his head uncomfortably, "No, I haven't slept yet, what's the matter with you?"
Bai Ran lowered his head and said, "I just got up to check the doors and windows, and when I saw that the lights in your room were still on, I asked about many things." The little young master is injured. Don't stay up late, it's better to rest early, shout if there is anything, and the villain will sleep opposite, you can hear it. ”
Yu Xiaoxiu, like Yu Shu, is a person who respects me a foot, and I respect people's temper, and after listening to his words of concern, I immediately have a good impression of Bai Ran. It just so happened that he was bored and couldn't sleep. So he turned sideways and got out of the way, and called him in:
"I fell asleep all the time during the day. It's going to make you dizzy in bed, so get up and look for a book, and come and stay with me. ”
When Yu Xiaoxiu was in Yiyang City before, he was often bullied because of his poor family background, he was withdrawn and inferior, and the boy was a little hazy, after Yu Shu arrived in the capital, his personality gradually became cheerful, such a big boy is loving to make friends, he feels that Bai Ran has just arrived, and he doesn't even have a relative when he sells himself as a slave, and he has three points of sympathy and like, so he wants to take care of one or two more.
"Yes, young master." Bai Ran complied with Yu Xiaoxiu's intention and entered his room, looking around the room, he had come in during the day, the size of this room was really not enough compared to the place where he lived when he was a son in Jiangzhou Baifu. But although the sparrows are small, they have all the organs, desks and bookcases, vases, calligraphy and paintings, they should all have them, they are cleaned up, and a new short bow is hung on the wall, which is already rare for such a person, and it can be seen that Yu Xiaoxiu is very favored at home.
"Don't stand, sit." Yu Xiaoxiu pointed to the tea chair, took the lead in sitting down, lifted the gauze button on the coffee table, and there were two plates of delicate and small desserts below, which were brought back by Yu Shu from the Wangji Building, and they were also specially prepared for Yu Xiaoxiu by Xue Rui in the kitchen.
Yu Xiaoxiu ate a lot of dinner, so he didn't care about tasting this snack, and he was hungry again in the middle of the night, so he pinched a piece and stuffed it in his mouth, handed another piece to Bai Ran, and said:
"Taste it."
"Xie Lu, little master." Bai Ran was taught in the Confession House for a year, and he learned more about people's faces, and he could see that Yu Xiaoxiu liked him, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, held the snack and took a bite, the faint lotus fragrance spread in his mouth, and he was stunned for a while, arousing a vague memory in him.
"This snack"
"Well, what?" Yu Xiaoxiu didn't quite know what Bai Ran said, so he looked up and asked him.
Bai Ran came back to his senses and smiled implicitly, "This dim sum is really delicious." ”
Yu Xiaoxiu didn't think much about it, and generously pushed the plate in front of him, "If it's delicious, you can eat a few more pieces, wait, I'll pour tea." ”
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the side of the bed to carry the teapot, Bai Ran saw this, and hurriedly stood up to stop him, "Young master, don't move, let the villain come." ”
Yu Xiaoxiu saw that he was flustered, so he touched his head and sat back, waited for him to pour the tea, stared at him for a while, and suddenly spoke: "That, Bai Ran, right, my sister said, let you study with me in the future, see you all day long, don't open your mouth and close your mouth in the future, call yourself a villain, I listen awkward, do you think it?"
Bai Ran, who was pouring tea, made a movement in his hand, looked up at Yu Xiaoxiu, and met his simple eyes under the light, which made him involuntarily grin the corners of his mouth and nodded:
"Okay."
Yu Xiaoxiu felt comfortable at this time, and felt closer to the white and pure boy in front of him, so he stretched out his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled.
"My sister said you were literate and had studied before?" Yu Xiaoxiu asked curiously.
"Well, I went to home school for two years." Bai Ran replied modestly.
"It's so good, I've only been reading textbooks for a few months, and I don't recognize a lot of words." Yu Xiaoxiu said enviously.
"I also have words I don't know, where does the little master go to school now?"
"In Baichuan Academy, have you heard of it? It's just north of the city, when my injuries are healed, I'll take you to the academy with me, by the way, can you ride a horse?"
Bai Ran sat opposite Yu Xiaoxiu, listening carefully to his future little master's eyebrows dancing and telling him about the things in the academy, and slowly, the worries and fears hidden in his heart became shallow.
