Chapter 44 Untie the knot, fulfill a long-cherished wish.
When Xu Xuan came to the Xu Mansion at sunset, he only saw the closed door, and then Xu Xuan remembered that his sister had married into the Li family, and she was no longer the daughter of the Xu Mansion. Looking at the mottled falling paint on the gate and the glowing bluestone grinding on the door, at this moment, Xu Xuan's heart was a little lost, if he didn't come back, the Xu family would be no one after all.
"Second brother, what are you doing here?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind, Xu Xuan turned around sharply, and saw Xu Jiaorong holding a quilt and looking at him in surprise.
"Oh, sister, I want to come back and see" Xu Xuan looked at Xu Jiaorong, but somehow, he didn't tell him what he wanted to learn from Cheng Fang. He just took a step forward and took the quilt from Xu Jiaorong's arms, and Xu Jiaorong realized that the second brother who used to run behind him all day was now as tall as her.
Xu Jiaorong combed the messy hair in her ears behind her ears, and said a little breathlessly, "I'll come back and change the third brother's futon, Xu Xian should have already told you, he is studying in the academy now, and he has grown up very quickly during this period of time, and this futon is a little short unconsciously." So I came to the house to get two quilts. ”
Xu Xuan's heart was slightly sour, his third brother, as the story of the White Snake said, lived with Xu Jiaorong, but did his second brother's bedding become short, does Xu Jiaorong, the sister, know? Immediately, Xu Xuan shook his head, in the final analysis, his sister and Xu Xian are sisters and brothers, and they are just concubines born to concubines, how can they be compared with Xu Xian?
Xu Jiaorong had already come to the door, stretched out her hand to open the copper lock, looked back at where Xu Xuan was still stunned, and said with a smile, "Second brother, where are you still stunned?" Don't hurry up and bring this futon in, alas, there have been too many things recently, if it weren't for your brother-in-law seeing that the third brother's futon was short, I wouldn't know it, I want to come, you've grown up fast lately, and your futon should be changed. ”
Xu Jiaorong said, but her feet did not stop, she had already walked to the yard, Xu Xuan was slightly stunned, but her heart was warm, it turned out that this sister still remembered herself. Thinking of this, he quickly followed Xu Jiaorong in.
Xu Jiaorong took out a few bedding from the house where she once lived, and put one of the beds on this bed, "No, second brother, you will take this futon away in a while, this is what my father used to use, he is tall, you should be able to cover it, and the third brother will follow us, so he will cover his mother's, although it is smaller, he can't freeze him." ”
Listening to Xu Jiaorong's nagging words, looking at the familiar delicate figure, Xu Xuan's eyes gradually moistened, and he choked up and said, "Sister, I want to tell you something"
Xu Jiaorong was still leaning over to sort out the quilt in the closet, and said without looking back, "Well, you say it, sister, he's listening." ”
"Sister, I'm going to follow Cheng Fang Cheng to learn scriptures and righteousness"
"Well, learn the scriptures, this is a good thing" Xu Jiaorong lowered her head and tidied up, and replied casually, at this time, her figure slammed suddenly, and she looked back at Xu Xuan in shock, "What?" Second brother, you said you want to learn the scriptures? Aren't you studying medicine anymore? ”
Xu Xuan shook his head: "Why don't you study medicine?" I studied medicine with the master for half a day, and I studied the scriptures and righteousness for half a day in the afternoon."
Xu Jiaorong looked at Xu Xuan and found that this younger brother didn't look like a joke, so he asked, "But second brother, I saw Xu Xian studying with the teacher, every day until midnight, that's it, he is often punished by the teacher, you are studying two now, can you eat and live?" ”
Xu Xuan hesitated, to be honest, he didn't have a bottom in his heart, but thinking about it, in his previous life, he also passed the college entrance examination of thousands of troops and horses, and this ancient scripture should not be difficult for himself, "I think, I should be able to,"
Xu Jiaorong frowned, "Brother, you want to be motivated, this is excellent, you don't have to worry about the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone used for learning, my sister will find a way, but you must pay attention to your body, don't be reckless, the body is the most important." ”
Xu Xuan hurriedly waved his hand, "Sister, you don't have to be busy first, I haven't said about apprenticeship yet, I don't want to be a teacher or something, my teacher won't put it in his eyes, how much is this meaning, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, I can figure out a way myself, I can take care of my own, you and brother-in-law, take care of the third brother." ”
At this time, Xu Xuan already knew completely that Xu Jiaorong treated himself the same as Xu Xian, the funny thing is that he was too deeply affected by this Xu Xuan's soul, and unconsciously, he had completely integrated into Xu Xuan's role, Xu Xuan, who was born as a concubine, was inferior and sensitive, and before Xu Xuan had an accident, he must have been obsessed with Xu Jiaorong and Xu Xian's mother, otherwise, this obsession would not be so obvious after Liu Zuozhou integrated into this body.
"How is it possible, sir's shackles are very high, the books you studied in that school? My sister will send it to others tomorrow, if it is short of Mr.'s restraints, how can she learn well? Xu Jiaorong was still babbling.
Xu Xuan couldn't smile bitterly, feeling what he had just said, Xu Jiaorong also listened to a study, who he learned from, and he didn't know what the old lady was.
"No, I'm not in the academy, I'm studying with Cheng Fangcheng, he has taught more students, there are more powerful people, and we can't afford his restraints, rather than this, it's better to follow the ancient rites. I'm sure Mr. Cheng doesn't care about this either. Xu Xuan hurriedly explained.
"Really? No, I still have to go back and discuss with your brother-in-law, he is well-informed, much better than us" said and so on, Xu Jiaorong didn't clean it up, turned around and hurriedly went out, and went to the Li family.
Xu Xuan looked at this anxious old lady, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this sister, it's really hot, this hasn't been figured out yet, so she just left!
At this time, it was already dark, Xu Xuan had no choice but to lock the door of this house, carry the futon out of this Xu Mansion, and go towards Qingyu Hall.
Wang Fengshan didn't say that he would spend the night at home, for this master, Xu Xuan is now very respectful from the heart, Xu Xuan's character in his previous life is that people respect me a foot and I respect people, plus Wang Fengshan's heartfelt words during the day today, Xu Xuan is not willing to disobey the master's will,
Besides, the Xu Mansion is deserted now, what's the point of going back? can let him, like Xu Xian, follow Xu Jiaorong and go to live in Li Gongfu's house, he Xu Xuanke can't pull this face. The ancients were sixteen years old, that is to say, when the ancients reached the age of sixteen, they had to serve in the military and conscription, and they needed to pay taxes, that is, they were formally adults, and now Xu Xuan was eleven or twelve years old, at such an old age, he still followed Xu Jiaorong to Li's house to eat white food, even if Li Gongfu didn't say it, he would be poked in the backbone when he went out!
