Chapter 14 Invest in peach and repay it
The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the year lies in the morning. But in the impression of Jin Liu's sister-in-law, her husband has always belonged to the type who can sit and never stand, and can lie down and never sit, so she was busy fetching well water early in the morning, ready to wash the dirty clothes that she had changed last night, and when she saw her husband tidy up and walked out of the room, she almost didn't stare out of her eyes. Realizing that Jin Liu was about to go out, she hurriedly got up from the bench, put her hand on the apron and wiped the droplets, and walked up quickly.
"Where are you going early this morning, and the young master has an errand for you?"
"Where did you get so many errands? I don't go to the door to watch, so what's the rule! ”
As soon as these words came out, Jin Liu's sister-in-law felt more and more that her husband was a little weird, and she actually raised her hand to touch his forehead. It wasn't until Jin Liu took a step out of the way angrily and shook off her hand that she couldn't help complaining angrily: "When I looked at the gate over there before, I didn't see you so attentive, but now I know the rules!" Yesterday I went out for most of the day, and then I hurried out until dark and came back, if you were so diligent, we wouldn't have to ......"
Before he finished speaking, Jin Liu interrupted impatiently: "Why are you talking more and more nonsense?" It was before, and now is now. I warn you, don't be lazy and slippery in front of that young master in the future, didn't you see that the Shen family's road steward came in person yesterday? ”
Sister-in-law Jin pouted: "Isn't it just the housekeeper of the Shen family, and it is also worthy of your instructions!" ”
"You, what do you know!" Jin Liu scolded in a low voice, looked left and right and lowered his voice and said, "Yesterday at the east gate of Yingtianfu, all those who asked to see were stopped outside, but our young master not only went in, but when he came out, it was personally sent out by Steward Zhu beside the sixth master, and you have eaten the thousand-layer crisp, you should know what kind of craftsmanship it is!" ”
Although the sixth sister-in-law Jin was vulgar, when she heard her husband say this, she couldn't help but tilt her head and ponder it carefully, and said in an instant: "You mean, he said that he moved the sixth master to help, and the Xu family couldn't help him?" ”
"Be quiet!" Jin Liu was startled, glanced at Jin Liu's sister-in-law, and saw that she quickly closed her mouth, so she snorted lightly, "Who knows about this matter, in short, this master seems to be enlightened, we can't fool him as a former loser." Last time you complained about laundry, he rewarded you with a hundred dollars, right? And when I went out to inquire about the news, you were still nagging there, but how much reward did you get in the end? Consistently, consistently! ”
When Jin Liu's sister-in-law said this, Jin Liu's sister-in-law was also overjoyed when she remembered that her husband had always brought back the money, and she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and she couldn't say anything to refute it. Just watching Jin Liu leave herself and walk towards the door, she still couldn't help muttering: "Except for the angry elders who come to the door all year round, it is the prodigal people who did not make it in the past, what is there to see about this door." ”
"Is the Seventh Young Master at home?"
As soon as she finished saying this, she heard a shouting from outside the door. The next moment, she saw Jin Liu's three steps and two steps rushing to the door, and greeted a clean-looking young man in with a smile. Seeing Jin Liu's respectful appearance of nodding and bowing, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in her eyes, so Suo didn't see it, and walked straight to the clothes to be washed. But before she could sit down, Jin Liu's cry came from behind.
"Why don't you go in and talk to the young master, the sixth master's little brother Tao Hong is here to deliver the post!"
Sister-in-law Jin was still muttering with a full stomach just now, but as soon as she heard that it was someone from the sixth master's house, she hurriedly turned around and nodded with a smile, and then rushed in like a gust of wind.
Seeing that the mother-in-law was finally interested, Jin Liu led Tao Hong inside, and asked what kind of post she was sending. Hearing the post of the banquet in Kuiyuan Building after three days, he was taken aback. It wasn't until Tao Hong was sent into the second gate that he saw Jin Liu's sister-in-law coming out of the main room to smile and invite someone in, and he stabbed his palm with his fingernails, that he was sure that it was not a dream.
Master Xu and they clearly don't want Xu Xun to show his face, but Xu Xun's congratulatory gifts haven't been sent yet, so they really climbed up to Master Xu Liu?
In the main room, I saw Tao Hong again, Xu Xun took the post, but did not let people go immediately, but spoke to him gently. With the old feelings in the Yingtianfu official house yesterday, although I can't get much news, I finally know that this post was ordered immediately after Zhu Sihai left Xu Zhen's study last night.
When Tao Hong said that he would hurry back to serve the young master to study, he suddenly smiled and said: "The sixth uncle is an elegant person, since he gave you the name Tao Hong, it is enough to see the difference for you." When you go back, you have to be mentally beaten, don't live up to that expectation, follow the young master to read and write. ”
Tao Hong is young, not to mention that he doesn't dare to come out in front of the old man and young master, and in front of Zhu Sihai, it is also like a mouse seeing a cat, but it is the first time that Xu Xun has heard such a praise, so his face turned red for a while, and he said for a long time: "Seventh young master, I ...... I still haven't even recognized the "Three Character Classic" ......"
Chen Yan had already learned about the young man's surname from the unusual reaction when Tao Hong mentioned Xu Yuci's words last time, and after raising his eyebrows, he made a gesture to signal him to wait, and then stood up and went to the East House, and soon came out with two books, and beckoned Tao Hong to come over, and handed him the three books, because he said with a smile: "One is the "Three Character Classic", one is the "Thousand Character Text", and the other is "Hundred Family Names", which is commonly known as the Three Treasures of Kindergarten, you take it back and read it slowly." ”
It is said that there are many cases where you can get some rewards for running errands, but it is the first time that others have sent books, so after taking the heavy three books, Tao Hong was so excited that his face was flushed, and he suddenly knelt down on his knees and kowtowed three times. When Xu Xun stretched out his hand to help, he had already kowtowed and got up, put the book to his chest and said, "Thank you, Seventh Young Master, don't worry, I will definitely return it to you after reading it!" ”
"It doesn't matter, it's okay for a long time."
"Thank you, Seventh Young Master......" Tao Hong couldn't find any other words, so he thanked him again, and then said curtly, "I have to serve the young master when I go back, and I can't stay for a long time...... However, Seventh Young Master, you should be careful, I heard that the eldest master pleaded with my master, saying that it was time to let the young masters give their own gifts at the banquet in Kuiyuan Tower, and my master had already agreed. ”
Xu Xun smiled and nodded, and then said, "I have to remind you." Sixth Uncle is promoted, you are naturally busy, I won't keep you. Latham & Watkins, send one to Tao Hong. ”
Latham had been standing silently beside him, and when he heard the order, he hurriedly stepped forward and opened the curtain to give it away. Seeing Tao Hong say goodbye with a thousand thanks, Xu Xun leaned back in his chair and couldn't help but think about it.
Counting the time with his fingers, he got up and went back to the Westroom, rummaging through the cupboard to find a robe to change into. However, after all, he overestimated his hands-on ability, how to wear the cross-collared placket and the right side of the robe, let alone tie the belt. It wasn't until he heard movement behind him and turned his head to see Ruison enter the house that he breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly motioned for him to come up and help.
Rayson silently served Xu Xun in his robe, and looked up several times to say something, but the words stopped when they came to his mouth. When he saw Xu Xun packing up and going out, he finally couldn't help it, and a dodge blocked in front of Xu Xun.
"Young master, it was all my fault last night, I shouldn't have shed tears in a good manner, and I shouldn't have said those things to you...... Don't, don't drive me away! ”
This sudden scene made Xu Xun's eyes widen all of a sudden, and then he couldn't help laughing. He stretched out his hand to press Ryson's head, which was half his head lowered, and suddenly rubbed it vigorously twice, and scolded angrily: "Who said that he was going to drive you away? ”
"Ahh Although he said just now that he shouldn't shed tears, at this moment, Latham's eyes were already a little red. He looked at Xu Xun uneasily, and when he was sure that his young master was not joking, he immediately turned his worries into joy, and then said embarrassedly, "I'm just afraid that the young master will think I'm useless, and it's not like Sixth Brother Jin who will catch a car and inquire about the news......"
"He has his use, you have your ability." Xu Xun is a human being in two lives, although he looks about the same age as Rayson on the surface, but in his heart, he treats this young man as a younger brother. After thinking about the purpose of going out at this time, he nodded and said, "Come on, you don't have to stay at home alone and think nonsense, and accompany me out of the door!" ”
Seeing that Xu Xun left these words and walked straight out, Ruisheng was stunned and hurriedly chased after him: "Young Master, where are you going?" ”
"Shopping!"
