Chapter 26: The Maiden

When Xiao Shiji heard that he was going to Du's house, he was very happy, and hurriedly said to Du Xiancheng: "Uncle Du, I also have some small gifts for Sister Shuang'er, you wait for me!" As he spoke, he returned to his yard with a cigarette and wrapped up the things he had accumulated on weekdays.

Du Xiancheng saw that the two little maids had been following Xiao Shihe and had never seen them before, so he asked Xiao Xiangsheng thoughtfully: "Those two maids were just sent to Brother Ji'er?" ”

Xiao Xiangsheng glanced at the backs of the two maids in the yard, nodded and said: "Your sister-in-law said that his brother will be six years old during the New Year, and he is the eldest son of the family, so he doesn't need his adoptive mother and wet nurse to follow him all day long, and it is not good to raise him to be a mother, so he dismissed his adoptive mother and wet nurse, and only sent him away yesterday." These two maids are now the maids in charge of the brother's room. Your sister-in-law just recently placed her brother in place. Xiao Miao, who is twelve years old this year, is the eldest girl in her brother's house. The other is Xiaoqing, only six years old, half a year older than his brother, smart and clever, I heard that he is also literate in reading, your sister-in-law said, just urge his brother to study, help him clean up the books and inkstones. ”

Du Xiancheng heard this, and laughed dryly, "Big brother, it's either a mother-in-law or a maid, and my brother is messing with them all day long, so he will still be girly." Let's find him two little guys in the future. - It's better to do this, every single day in the future, let my brother go to my shop to find me, and I will personally teach him to ride and shoot, okay? ”

Xiao Xiangsheng was overjoyed. He knew Du Xiancheng's riding and archery kung fu, which was first-class and good. On the battlefield of Goguryeo that year, he rode alone and pulled his bow and single-handedly shot and killed many Goguryeo generals. Later, the Goguryeo army set up an ambush for them, and there was a big reason for it, which was to arrest Du Xiancheng and sacrifice the Goguryeo general who was shot by him.

"When my brother says that, I'm disrespectful. Ming'er is a single day, I will let my brother go to you. Xiao Xiangsheng couldn't wait to say authentically.

Du Xiancheng put his mind at ease, "A word is a certainty." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Shiji had already brought his subordinates and carried things over.

Du Xiancheng took Xiao Shiji back to Du's house.

Because Xiao Shiji's adoptive mother and wet nurse are gone, and the little maid has not yet prepared, the two maids Xiaomiao and Xiaoqing followed to take care of it.

Xiao Xiangsheng went to the main room to find Long Xiangye to speak.

Since Long Qiuye left, Long Xiangye's illness has been getting better day by day, and he insists on taking care of the child in person, and he is no longer willing to fake the hands of others, giving people the opportunity to separate their mother and son. Therefore, let the nurse take Xiao Tai and under her nose every day, and she can't leave for half a moment.

Xiao Taiji was very unaccustomed to it at the beginning, and kept humming and chirping all day long.

As soon as he made a fuss, Long Xiangye took him over and held him in his arms all the time, so that he could familiarize himself with his breath and awaken his memory of his mother.

Xiao Taiji was still a baby of more than six months, and soon left Long Qiuye behind and became more and more intimate with Long Xiangye.

Xiao Xiangsheng saw Long Xiangye's current appearance, obviously a little overkill, and couldn't bear to say her, so he just said, "Your body is just right, why don't you rest?" Holding Brother Tai every day, are you tired? ”

Long Xiangye stood up with a smile, "It's my biological child, how can I be tired?" - Why did the master come back now? ”

Xiao Xiangsheng smiled, sent all the people in the house out, and asked Long Xiangye: "We gave your sister 10,000 taels of silver dowry money, how did your mother's family use it, do you know Lu Dao?" ”

Long Xiangye was stunned, his eyes flickered, he didn't dare to look at Xiao Xiangsheng's eyes, he silently lowered his head and gently patted the swaddling clothes in his arms.

Xiao Xiangsheng understood. Long Qiuye's dowry silver was ignored by the Long family, and it was sold to the master as a concubine, Long Xiangye not only knew the Tao for a long time, but also kept it a secret from himself.

"Alas, we are husband and wife. Why don't you tell me anything? Xiao Xiangsheng sighed, "I'm so unworthy of your trust?" ”

Long Xiangye's heart was soft and sour, and he couldn't help but say, "Master, you care so much about my sister?" In this case, why did you have to marry her out in the first place? Otherwise, I wouldn't have ...... in the room."

Xiao Xiangsheng interrupted Long Xiangye's words and said unhappily: "Why do you think so? I just want to take a concubine, and I will never accept your own sister to slap you in the face. ”

"But the lord cares about her so much, in order for her to enter the palace, he ran around, scattered silver everywhere, and now he even has to inquire about the whereabouts of the dowry silver, does the lord really not care?" Long Xiangye is very worried. She didn't know what Xiao Xiangsheng thought.

Xiao Xiangsheng's brows furrowed even tighter, "You've read too much of the book, haven't you?" How could I be interested in her? I'm not angry when people say that. But when you say that, I'm really angry. - If you really want to show your virtue, I don't have a word. Hurry up and take me a concubine, so that you don't worry about coming and going every day. I'll fulfill your wishes. As he spoke, he stood up and brushed his sleeves away.

Long Xiangye was stunned for a moment, looking at Xiao Xiangsheng's back blankly, at a loss.

Here Du Xiancheng took Xiao Shihe back to Xiao's house, and first ordered someone to take Xiao Shiji to see Du Hengshuang, and he took two gifts and Xiao Shiji's two maids to see Fang Yuniang.

ordered the two maids to wait in the outhouse, and Du Xiancheng went to the inner room first to talk to Fang Yuniang.

"The adoptive mother and the wet nurse have been sent away? Replaced with two maids? Fang Yuniang glared, "Brother and brother are only six years old. How old are those two maids? Can you take care of him? ”

"I've brought people here, see for yourself. If it's not appropriate, I'll go tell Brother Xiao. For the sake of his daughter Du Hengshuang, Du Xiancheng wants to take precautions for everything.

Fang Yuniang was also very cautious, nodded and said, "I'll take a look, you wait here." ”

When she came to the outhouse, Fang Yuniang sat on the couch and carefully looked at the two maids in front of her.

The big one at the beginning really looked familiar.

"Are you your brother's maid?" Fang Yuniang held her hand stove to warm her hands, and her eyes kept looking up and down at the two maids in front of her.

Xiaoqing and Xiaomiao hurriedly put on smiling faces and stepped forward to salute.

"Mrs. Du is fine, slave Xiaoqing."

"Slave Miao."

Fang Yuniang suddenly came to her senses.

Seedlings? Isn't it the maid who followed Long Qiuye and helped Xiao Ruisheng steal people to cover up?!

This kind of person is completely problematic in character, how can he follow Xiao Shiji?!

Look at Xiaoqing again, fair and pink, with a pretty nose, although she is not as beautiful as her daughter, she throws out a lot of ordinary women, and she is also a beautiful embryo. The voice of the voice is even more delicate, and between the gestures, there is a lot of advance and retreat, as if he has some knowledge.

Fang Yuniang's attention was focused on Xiaoqing, and asked, "I haven't seen you before." You're new here, right? ”

Xiao Qing nodded with a smile, and was about to speak, Xiao Miao had already rushed to say: "Mrs. Du doesn't know, this Xiaoqing was just bought by our wife from the human market." I heard that she was also from a scholarly family, that is, her hometown suffered a flood, her father was drowned, she and her mother were driven out by the clansmen, and fled to Chang'an. Our wife saw that her mother was doing a good job of needlework, and she was born clean, so she bought them together. Then he pursed his lips and smiled, "Sister Xiaoqing signed a death contract, Mrs. Du can rest assured." ”
