This old housekeeper named Xu Rong has been serving the patriarch of the Xu family for three generations in the Xu family, and he is the oldest person in the Xu family, and Xu Rong lost his father at an early age, and it was Xu Rong who single-handedly brought Xu Rong up.......

Therefore, Xu Rong has never treated Xu Rong as an outsider, and treats him with the etiquette of his sons and nephews to his parents, and Xu Rong also sincerely treats Xu Rong as his own child, and the depth of the relationship between the two is far beyond the ordinary father-son relationship.

Therefore, the people of the Xu clan are not unusual when they see their head of the family treating the old housekeeper so politely, because they have long been accustomed to it.

Xu Rong pointed out the things he bought one by one to Xu Chen, until Xu Rong's hand touched a rattan basket, Xu Chen's eyes were also attracted.

There was a dirty child in the rattan basket, Xu Yan didn't understand why his old housekeeper would buy back such a small child, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but in front of the old man, Xu Yan didn't know what to say, just frowned and didn't say a word.

Xu Rong didn't care about his family's dissatisfaction, and said with a smile: "Er, this is what I exchanged for twenty flatbreads!" ”

After hearing this, Xu Yan was even more unhappy, twenty flatbreads, how many people can be bought? In this world, many homeless people hate to ask for money and follow the big family, what's wrong with their old housekeeper? What is a dirty child worth to make such a loss-making transaction? Look at this child's half-dead, demented appearance, it's a loss, this deal is really a loss!

"Uncle Rong, this is too expensive!"

"Hehe, I bought this little girl from a wild man, I heard the wild man call her Xiaocao, I think it was also the name that the wild man gave her casually, and, Er, don't look at her dirty now, find someone to wash her in a while, you will know whether it is expensive or not!"

When Xu Yan heard that Uncle Rong was a little girl who was bought from a savage, he was also a little curious, and nodded noncommittally.

Just as Xu Rong was instructing the other subordinates to take the children in the rattan basket down to wash, Xiao Xu Yuan didn't know where to get out.

"Hee-hee, Grandpa Rong, hug Yuan'er!"

"Hehehe, okay, let grandpa hug my good boy!"

Xu Yuan naturally heard that the people sent out by the family to buy people and goods came back, so he rushed over, Xu Yuan heard the conversation between his father Xu Yuan and the old housekeeper Xu Rong, so the eyes of the little girl in the rattan basket were also full of curiosity.

Xu Yuan was hugged by Xu Rong doting on his shoulder, Xu Rong pointed to the little girl in the rattan basket and said: "Yuan'er, look at this little girl, although it is a little dirty, but Grandpa Rong told you that when she washes it off, it will definitely scare you!" ”

Xu Yuan was also looking at the little girl in the rattan basket carefully, she couldn't see how big she was, because she was in the rattan basket, so she didn't know how tall she was, and the people were dirty, it seemed that the people who stayed next to her were covering their noses, it seemed that it should be very smelly and smelly, but why did Grandpa Rong say that he would scare himself? She's surprising enough, so stinky, will it be even uglier after washing?!

However, although Xu Yuan thought so in her heart, a pair of smart big eyes still carefully observed the little girl in the rattan basket, she had a feeling that the little girl in front of her was very helpless, and her heart seemed to be full of fear, so she looked demented, when Xu Yuan's eyes looked at the little girl's eyes again, I don't know why, my heart suddenly moved!

"Grandpa Rong, Yuan'er lacks a playmate, why don't you give her to me, and Yuan'er doesn't know why, she feels that she has a fate with her, so no matter how she looks, just give it to Yuan'er!"

When Xu Rong heard Xu Yuan say this, his heart was also gloomy, although the eldest lady of the Xu family in front of him was born with wisdom, but because of this, he still has no playmate.

Thinking of this, Xu Rong looked at Xu Chen.

Xu Yuan heard Xu Yuan say that he had no playmates, and his heart was also faintly painful, Xu Yuan saw the old housekeeper looking at him, and nodded silently.

The tent of Xu Xian in Xu's camp

Xu Yuan led Xiaocao to his father's tent, and did not let anyone else enter the tent, although many maidservants who served Xu Yuan did not agree with Xu Yuan to clean this dirty little girl by herself, but no one dared to really disobey Xu Yuan, after all, his patriarch and old housekeeper Xu Rong's love for Xu Yuan was clear to the whole clan.

So the maidservants had no choice but to reluctantly prepare a lot of cleaning items and a large bucket of water for Xu Yuan, and silently withdrew from the tent.

Only Xu Yuan and Xiaocao were left in the entire tent.

Xu Yuan pulled Xiaocao, who was much taller than herself, to the bathtub, and just when she wanted to reach out and take off her clothes for Xiaocao, Xiaocao subconsciously pushed Xu Yuan away for some reason.

Xu Yuan fell to the mud without standing firmly, her mouth was flattened, and she immediately wanted to cry, but the tears were held back by Xu Yuan before they reached the corners of her eyes.

Xu Yuan knew that the girl in front of her was just subconsciously defending herself, and she was not really attacking herself, because her behavior just now had made the girl in front of her so frightened that she hugged herself tightly and squatted on the ground, and she kept shaking, and even her teeth were chattering......

Xu Yuan looked at her like this, and she unconsciously felt a pain in her heart......

Xu Yuan's innate ability to perceive the true intentions of others instantly made Xu Yuan's heart tremble, Xu Yuan didn't know what kind of pain the girl in front of her had experienced, but she had an urge to cry, and even her own tears couldn't help but flow......

Xu Yuan also squatted down slowly, and slowly approached the girl, Xu Yuan stretched out her little hand and gently placed it on the shoulder of this girl named Xiaocao......

Xiaocao looked at the little girl in front of her in fear, subconsciously raised her head, and looked at Xu Yuan with wide eyes......

Xiaocao saw that the little girl in front of her was crying, and she was crying very sadly, why did she cry, did she cry for me? Does she know what I'm afraid of?

Xu Yuan cried very sadly, especially when her hand touched Xiaocao's shoulder, there was a burst of fear and helplessness from Xiaocao's body......

Xu Yuan tried to slowly hug Xiaocao's shoulders with her little hands, and then gently patted Xiaocao's back, and said softly: "Okay, okay, cry out, just cry, Xiaocao is not afraid, Xiaocao is not afraid......"

Xiaocao didn't know why she didn't struggle anymore, so she let the little girl in front of her hug her, her fat little hands, gently patting her back, and kept repeating the sentence: Xiaocao is not afraid...... Xiaocao is not afraid......

Xiaocao's head leaned weakly on Xu Yuan's shoulder, and slowly, he opened his mouth and cried loudly, the cry was heartbreaking......

A few handmaidens outside the tent did not go away, they really did not worry about letting the eldest lady of the clan stay with a wild child like this, and now they suddenly heard such a howl and cry, and they all panicked, and after a while, one of them rushed into the tent with a few sisters, and asked the other handmaid to hurry up and inform the lord and the old housekeeper, they were really afraid that something was going on inside the tent!
