Chapter XII
Two carriages stopped at the gate of Hangzhou Mansion. Mrs. Pan is here! Ye Xun heard the report and hurriedly came out to greet him. The first car was driven by stones, and in the car sat Mrs. Pan's family. Inside the latter car were four maids and luggage, driven by a big ox.
Ye Xun carefully picked up the old lady down, "Xun'er has said hello to the old lady!" You've worked hard all the way! ”
Old Madam Pan is a kind old lady, as soon as she saw Ye Xun, her eyes were full of doting smiles, and her love for him was revealed from her heart. She touched Ye Xun's face with her hand and said, "Xun'er is so good!" I haven't seen you for a few months, and my grandmother misses you. ”
Ye Xun has lacked the favor of his elders since he was a child, he enjoyed and was very touched by Mrs. Pan's feelings for him, he hugged Mrs. Pan in his arms, and said coquettishly, "Grandma, I miss you too." ”
"Mom, you're finally here!" Ruolian rushed over, and when she saw Ye Xun and her mother's affectionate appearance, she couldn't help but glance at Ye Xun, pushed him away, and muttered, "It's like your mother." Then she changed her smile and stepped forward to support her mother, "Mom, you've been walking on the road for several days, are you tired?" ”
"Nope." The old lady turned around and smiled at Ye Xun, who was a little lonely.
"What about Ruoxia and Ruoyu?" Wakaren asked.
The old lady pointed to the car, "I'm still in the car, and I've been making trouble all the way." It's a headache to be noisy with them. ”
Sure enough, there was a noisy sound in the car, Ruolian smiled, "Ruoxia and Ruoyu are home, don't make trouble!" Get out of the car! ”
"Here it is, big sister." Jumping out of the car as he spoke, a young woman and a boy.
The young woman's name is Pan Ruoxia, the third daughter of the Pan family, and she has a second daughter, Pan Ruolan. Married to another woman. Ruoxia looks sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and she is already a slim girl. She is as arrogant as her eldest sister, but she thinks she is a little narrow-minded and often considers herself a chivalrous woman.
The boy's name is Pan Ruoyu, nine years old this year, and he is a posthumous child. He is also the only male in the Pan family. Since childhood, he has been spoiled undecently, willful, arrogant, and has the 'style' of his eldest sister. At the same time, he is very lonely, growing up in a pile of women, and his personality seems a little eccentric. He is very eager to play with men, but he doesn't know how. He really wants to play with Ye Xun, and will follow him like a fart. In this regard, Ye Xun was overwhelmed. Ye Xun looked down on him a little, he was almost ten years old, he said that he was not big, he was not small, and he thought that Ye Xun had become the leader of a street when he was ten years old.
"Oh, Ruoxia has grown into a big girl, and she is getting better and better! Ruoyu has also grown taller. Ruolian touched her brother and sister and said lovingly, "Let's go, let's go into the house!" ”
The Pan family of four talked and laughed, and helped each other into the house, as if there was no such person as Ye Xun at all. Seeing that the family was happy, Ye Xun felt a sour feeling in his heart. Then he smiled to himself, "I don't envy others, I have Qiu Tong!" Then, he instructed Stone, Big Bull, and Little Tiger to carry their luggage to the room in the backyard.
In the evening, Ye Xun picked up the wind for Mrs. Pan, and Xiaoxiao also came. At the dinner, in order not to embarrass Ruolian on the spot and the smooth life of the next few days, Ye Xun did his best to be diligent and kept adding food to the old lady and his 'aunt' and 'uncle'. Ruolian ignored him all night, just looked at him coldly.
The old lady was a little reluctant, "Xun'er, don't be busy with us." Let the maids do the work, and you can eat it yourself! Didn't see how you ate it all night. I don't know if it's because my eyes are spent, I always feel that Xun'er has lost weight, pitiful. ”
"Grandma, don't worry, I've been eating. I'm not thin, I'm strong now. I'm glad that you're here today, so let me do my filial piety. Ye Xun's mouth was like touching honey tonight, and Mrs. Pan was so amused that she couldn't close her mouth.
The whole dinner was rare in harmony. Only Ruoxia and Xiaoxiao occasionally quarrel. The two have known each other for a long time, and they don't like each other. Ruoxia glanced at Xiaoxiao, "Why did you follow you to Hangzhou again?" You're there everywhere! ”
"Didn't you come too?" Xiaoxiao knew how powerful she was, and she didn't dare to provoke her.
"Can you compare to us? We're here to get married. What about you? Idle! If you don't learn, you can't do it! It's just a parasite! Ruoxia said unceremoniously.
"You!" Xiaoxiao was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Ye Xun smiled secretly in his heart: I finally met someone who can cure you!
Old Madam Pan complained to Ruoxia on the side, "Xia'er! Don't be rude! Xiaoxiao is also a guest no matter how you say it, do you talk like that? ”
Xiaoxiao smiled at Mrs. Pan, "Grandma, it's okay." I'm not an outsider. Besides, good men don't fight women! ”
"You're a good guy? Joke! Ruoxia said with a disdainful expression.
The old lady glanced at her daughter and looked at Xiaoxiao with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, these days that you have come to Hangzhou, your family has come to my house every day to inquire about your news." I heard that your father is not at ease and plans to let your Aunt Liu come to Hangzhou to find you. ”
"Liu Liu is coming? That's great! ”
Ruoxia looked disdainful, "How old are you?" Adults follow you wherever you go, don't be ashamed! ”
"Are you different?"
"Of course it's different! I was there to protect my mom and brother all the way. If I had the chance, I could go to the end of the world with a sword. How can I speak the same day as you? ”
Xiaoxiao was reluctant to entangle with her, and admitted defeat, "You are a heroine, you are amazing!" Bow down to the wind! ”
Ruoxia had a smug look on her face, but she still didn't give up, "You and Ye Xun are still brothers, the two of you are simply worlds apart." You don't want to study hard with him? ”
"Learn from him? Cut, what's there to learn? Xiaoxiao said unconvinced.
Ruoxia said like a few treasures, "Ye Xun is both civil and military, humble and polite, and a talent." Which of you can compare to others, with your qualifications, I'm afraid you won't be able to learn it in your lifetime, right? ”
Ye Xun's face turned red when Ruoxia praised him like this, "I'm ...... Is this me? How can I be that good? ”
Ruolian, who hadn't spoken much, interrupted them, "Ruoxia, don't praise him, I've been staring at him all day long, and I can't find the north even if I praise him." I think Xiaoxiao is very good, how happy! It's a pleasure to watch. ”
Ye Xun was really entangled by Pan Ruoyu. He sat beside Ye Xun from dinner, looking at him with good eyes, as if he was afraid that he would run away. After dinner, everyone dispersed one after another, and he followed Ye Xun inseparably. Wherever Ye Xun goes, wherever he goes, he can't shake it off. And he kept talking, saying something that was not boundary, so that Ye Xun couldn't understand and didn't want to listen. Ye Xun sometimes thinks he is very pitiful, and he will find him very annoying no matter how much time he is older!
"You know what? The Golden Horn King is amazing! By the way, do you know what the Golden Horn King is? Ruoyu said in pieces.
"I don't know." Ye Xun responded very perfunctorily.
"It's crickets! Do you know what the Whirlwind Kid is? ”
"I don't know."
"It's crickets too. Ha ha...... These are the names I gave them. There are also silver sleeves and black tigers...... There are a lot of them in the back garden of my house. The Golden Horn King is the most powerful, he can defeat all the crickets. Then do you know whether the Golden Horn King is powerful or the big red robe is powerful? ”
"Didn't you say that the Golden Horn King is the most powerful?"
"No, it's the big red robe that is more powerful. Do you know what the big red robe is? ”
"Isn't it a cricket?"
"You guessed it wrong. It's not, haha...... It's a big! It just stretched its neck and 'chattered' a few times and ate the Golden Horn King and the Black Tiger. Hehe...... Isn't it fun? ”
Where's the fun? Ye Xun looked at him a little helplessly. He kept talking like this while following Ye Xun from the living room to the garden and then to the study.
In the study, Wen Du was waiting for Ye Xun, Ye Xun turned his back to Ruoyu and gave Wen Du a look and said in a breathy voice, "Brother, help quickly, I have been annoyed by him all night, and my head is big!" ”
Wen Du glanced at Ruoyu behind Ye Xun, and saw that he was still talking with interest, "Our rhubarb is obedient, I said, 'Rhubarb, go and bring my shoes.'" And it took my shoes in its mouth. I said...... "I couldn't help but look embarrassed."
"Ruoyu!" Ye Xun had to interrupt him, "It's not too early, you should go back to your room and sleep." ”
"But I'm not sleepy! And I can get up very early in the morning. I'm like this at home, I never sleep lazy, my third sister, my mother, and Xiaoxiang and Meihua are all I call them to get up. One day, it was ...... daylight."
"But I need to work! You see, I need to read all the official documents on the table. Or, so. You play with this brother. Ye Xun pointed at Wendu.
Ruoyu turned to Wen Du, saw Wen Du's resistant eyes to him, and said to Ye Xun in some panic, "I don't! I'll play with you. Look at your official documents. I won't argue with you! ”
"You keep talking here, how can I read the official documents?"
At this time, Wen Du hurriedly said, "It seems that I can't do much work tonight." Then I'll go back to the house first. ”
"You're going back to the house now? It's too unrighteous, isn't it? ”
"Why am I not righteous? You hear it, he doesn't want to play with me. And I accompany you until midnight every day, and the court sent me those salaries, but I only do those jobs during the day, and it stands to reason that I should have gotten off work a long time ago. I'll go first! Wen Du squeezed his eyes at him and slipped away.
Ye Xun raised his eyes and glanced at Ruoyu, who was chattering, and couldn't bear it anymore, "Ruoyu, go back to sleep quickly." Play with me tomorrow. Obedient ha. ”
"I don't, I'm just here, not going anywhere."
"Then I'm leaving."
"Wherever you go, I'll follow you!" Ruoyu said stubbornly.
"You're not done, are you? Hurry back to sleep! The boss is not small, you have to be obedient, you know? Ye Xun was a little irritable.
"You don't want to play with me anymore? Tell you, you must not be rude to me, and you have to call me uncle in terms of seniority. I don't care about any seniority, and you're still driving me away? Ruoyu threatened.
"What else does the little kid know? Besides, I didn't chase you either, did I? Isn't this a consultation with you? ”
Seeing that Ye Xun's tone weakened, Ruoyu became even more energetic, "I know you don't dare!" If you dare not play with me, I will tell my eldest sister to go and let her clean you up! ”
Hearing this, Ye Xun suddenly became angry: I am angry with your sister every day, and I have to whisper to you as a hairy child, and now I dare to coerce me. "Hey, you little kid didn't learn anything else, but learned to threaten people? Learned to sue? I've listened to you nagging all night, and you're going crazy, is it easy? Disappear from my eyes and go back to sleep! ”
Ye Xun thinks that although he is a little harsh, he is not too much. Ruoyu looked at him stunned as if she was frightened, and suddenly opened her mouth and cried loudly.
Ye Xun panicked, "Don't cry!" I'll never ignore you if you cry again! Don't cry, I'm joking with you. Shut up! Didn't you hear it......" Ye Xun was a little at a loss, no matter how he coerced and tempted, Ruoyu still cried.
Ye Xun couldn't stop looking at the door, he was so worried that Ruolian would suddenly come in.
But things are often what you are afraid of. At this moment, Ruolian went out to find Ruoyu to go back to the room to sleep, and when she heard the cry in the study, she hurriedly pushed the door in two steps and came in.
As soon as Ruolian entered the door, she saw her baby brother crying heartbreakingly, which was worth it. "What's wrong? Ruoyu! ”
As soon as Ruoyu saw Ruolian coming, she threw herself into her arms at once, then turned around and pointed at Ye Xun and choked up, "Sister, he bullied me!" ”
Ye Xun was really speechless, "I didn't!" I ......"
Ruolian didn't intend to give him a chance to defend himself at all, so she stretched out her hand and slapped Ye Xun in the face. "How old are you? Bully a child! ”
Perhaps because the slap was so loud, Ruoyu was so frightened that she immediately stopped crying and sneaked out. Ye Xun was caught off guard and received a slap from Ruolian, and it took him half a day to recover. He didn't expect her to hit himself in front of the child, he covered his face and looked at her incredulously.
"Our family Ruoyu has grown up since he was a child, and even I haven't touched a finger of him!"
"I didn't touch him either! You don't even ask, and you beat people indiscriminately? Still in front of the kids? Ye Xun was angry and aggrieved.
Ruolian crooked her mouth and sneered, "I do!" I don't have to ask! Don't you know yet? ”
Ye Xun looked at her in a daze, and laughed angrily, "There is a question that I can't figure out after thinking about it for a long time, did I offend you somewhere?" You've been targeted everywhere all these years. Am I not caring for you or your family? Disrespectful? No wow? When something happened in your family, I didn't look ahead and work hard. The people of your family are all ancestors in me, and I have to hold none of them carefully, even Ruoyu can dictate to me as a child. You said, there is something wrong with what I did, please remind me, I can change it. Anyway, I'm also a magistrate in the first house now, and I have to take care of some decency. We all live under the same roof, can't we get along well? ”
"Yes, you have done something for our family, and you have tried your best to please my family. What's wrong? Do we have to mold you into a golden body to make you up? I don't know you yet? You're just doing nothing. I don't know your little bit of caution? ”
"I have nothing to do? What do you say I'm thinking? Ye Xun was really helpless about this woman who didn't eat oil and salt, "All my thoughts are to make you kind to my father and make my father happier!" What else can I think? ”
"I will make your father healthy and happy. So, you have to endure such days! I can't stand it, so I can only endure it! ”
Ye Xun took a deep breath and said, "Don't say anything else." But Ruoyu is still a child. The child can't be educated like this, and you can't do him any good of him. ”
"You don't have to worry about it." With that, Ruolian turned around to leave.
"I... I warn you......" Ye Xun plucked up his courage and said.
Ruoren turned back and stared into his eyes, with a mocking smile on her face, "What did you just say?" ”
Ye Xun saw her sharp eyes, and immediately changed his words, "I mean I want ......"
"Hope for what?"
"I hope ...... You can't hit me for no reason in the future, especially in front of outsiders. Ye Xun finally finished this sentence firmly.
Ruolian sneered, "I can reply to you now, no!" With that, he went out the door.
Ye Xun looked at her far away, panting with anger, grabbing the cup next to him casually and wanting to vent the fire. I was about to throw it, but I couldn't help but take it to look at it, and it was a very good cup that was not broken, so I didn't want to drop it, so I put it back again......
