Chapter 67: There is a maid in the house
"Xiaoxian, let me stay and take care of Lin Zi at night, you go and sleep well!"
Zhang Yun'er looked at Zhang Xiaoxian, who had been taking care of him because of Zhang Linzi's illness in the past few days, and persuaded him in distress.
"It's only been a few days, and you've lost weight......"
"It's okay, Sister Yun'er, I'll be able to hold on, besides, Lin Zi's illness has already recovered, maybe it will be cured in two days, you don't have to worry!"
After hearing this, Zhang Yun'er glanced at the young man beside him worriedly again.
Nuo Nuo said: "Actually, I, I feel sorry for you. ”
After saying this, the girl's fair face showed a touch of crimson.
They are all ignorant teenagers, at the age when love first opened, Zhang Xiaoxian heard the meaning of Zhang Yun'er's words, and suddenly felt warm in his heart, and turned his head to look at the girl who was originally hearty, but was a little shy at this time.
After struggling for a while, he finally said: "Of course I want you to stay and help me, but I really can't, in this way, you can't explain to your family, besides, Lord Zhang doesn't agree that you have anything to do with us, if you know that you are staying here, then ......"
Zhang Xiaoxian did not say anything more, but turned the topic elsewhere.
"I've thought about it, Lin Zi and I will definitely not be able to go on like this for a long time, a while ago I neglected him too much because I was busy practicing the exercises, which caused him to have this illness, so I want to buy a little maid to serve Lin Zi's daily life, so that I can also be a little more at ease!"
Zhang Yun'er listened and immediately agreed, after all, in this way, not only Zhang Linzi could be well taken care of, but Xiaoxian would not be so tired.
It was getting late, and under the urging of Zhang Xiaoxian, Zhang Yun'er, who was about to return home, proposed that the matter of finding a maid should be handed over to her.
Zhang Xiaoxian was happy to hear this, sent Zhang Yun'er away, and returned to the house, Zhang Xiaoxian saw Zhang Linzi, who was still asleep and had woken up now, sitting on the couch alone in a daze, his face was pale and scary.
Zhang Xiaoxian was taken aback, didn't he already see a lot better today, why is this the situation?
He looked at his brother worriedly again, and was about to ask what happened, but saw Zhang Linzi turn sideways and close his eyes.
On the second day, it was still early, Zhang Xiaoxian got up early according to his previous habits, opened the courtyard door, and wanted to take advantage of Zhang Linzi's sleep to practice the knife technique a few times.
It's just that he just opened the courtyard door, and suddenly saw a small figure on the side of the courtyard door.
It may be that the sound of the door opening disturbed her unsteady sleep, but this person immediately raised his head.
On the round face, a pair of dark and clear eyes turned a few times, and then looked at Zhang Xiaoxian and jumped up violently.
"Hey, the cow killer, is it you who Daddy asked me to find?"
Who are you looking for, what is it that I am doing?
Zhang Xiaoxian was a little embarrassed by this sudden questioning.
Then he looked at the girl in front of him, who looked like she was twelve or thirteen years old, and looked up and down a few times.
He was dressed in a plain and clean shirt, covered with a red cloak, and his long black hair was combed into two simple buns, each with a plum blossom-style ring.
A white, delicate little round face, with slender eyes that turned vigorously, was staring at Zhang Xiaoxian, thoughtful.
Maybe she was curious, this young man is so handsome, how can he specially carry a knife to do this cattle killing business.
"Little sister, you're wrong, I don't kill cows, I kill ......" Zhang Xiaoxian suddenly saw such a strange woman in front of the door, of course, he was also very curious, so he said to her in a joking tone.
I wanted to scare her and see how the little girl reacted.
Who knows, when Zhang Xiaoxian said this, the little girl was stunned, and then cried out with a "wow!".
"I'll just say that Daddy lied to me, how can there be any uncle who kills cattle here, obviously there is a little brother who specializes in harming people, Daddy lied to me, ...... Daddy"
Seeing this situation, Zhang Xiaoxian didn't know what to say for a while.
Finally, when the little girl had enough of crying, she looked at her curiously and helplessly asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Of course I'm looking for the owner of this courtyard, I'm here to join my family!"
The little girl said, and Zhang Xiaoxian talked about her origin, it turned out that this little girl was not a native of Lin'an, but came from the remote Lizhou, hundreds of miles away from Lin'an.
It's just because I heard that the capital city of Lin'an is prosperous and lively, so he asked his father to take her to Lin'an, wanting to see the style and people of this Lin'an City.
In desperation, she remembered that her father had said that their family had a distant relative surnamed Zhang in this capital, but they had not been in contact for many years, and she only remembered that they lived in Dongcheng back then.
Therefore, the little girl came here to inquire about a family surnamed Zhang.
Finally, in the middle of the night, he came to the courtyard of Brother Zhang Xiaoxian and his brothers, and he was sleepy and tired, so he leaned against the courtyard door and fell asleep.
"So your relative is a cattle slaughterer?" Zhang Xiaoxian touched his chin and looked thoughtfully at the little girl in front of him and asked.
The little girl didn't answer directly, her dark eyes rolled, and she nodded in response: "Yes, so I saw that you went out with a knife, and I thought it was a relative who killed the cow!"
"But I'm not ......" Zhang Xiaoxian looked at the knife in his hand helplessly, a treasure knife was said to be a cow-killing knife by this little girl, and he was really helpless.
"So, I'm not your distant relative......"
"Wow......" As soon as she heard this, the little girl immediately cried out again, "But, I just can't find the relative I'm looking for, and Daddy also left me alone, what do you think I should do?"
Zhang Xiaoxian was stunned, he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, not only frowned and thought about it.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said to the little girl, "How old are you, can you cook and do laundry and other chores?"
When the little girl heard this, she stopped crying, thought about it and nodded reluctantly: "It will be a little ......"
"Then that's going to be easy......"
Zhang Xiaoxian was overjoyed, and said to the little girl with a smile: "I won't tell you, there are two of us brothers living in this courtyard, my brother is a little inconvenient, and he needs a little maidservant, if you really have nowhere to go now, you might as well stay with us first, but you have to do some work!"
When the little girl heard this, her eyes immediately burst out with extraordinarily bright brilliance, raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face, and nodded vigorously at Zhang Xiaoxian.
Zhang Xiaoxian laughed when he saw her agree, and hurriedly explained: "You live here to help us work, I will pay you, and after I find your father or your distant relative, you can leave at any time, and I, Zhang Xiaoxian, will never stop you!"
The little girl giggled, perhaps she already felt that the young man in front of her was kind.
"So, what's your name?"
Zhang Xiaoxian looked at her and asked.
"I, my name is ...... Evening," said the little girl, hesitantly.
"Bend...... Bend?" Zhang Xiaoxian smiled dryly when he heard this obviously awkward name, "Eh, okay, okay, then I'll call you Little Bend!"
When the little girl heard this, she was stunned and said loudly: "Who, you can remove that little character!
Hearing that the little girl had obviously recovered from her unfamiliar state, Zhang Xiaoxian had to nod in agreement.
The little girl's surname is Qin, and the double word is late, but when Zhang Xiaoxian met her, she heard it as a bend, and when she heard Zhang Xiaoxian call her one after another, the little girl didn't seem to show her displeasure.
So it became her new name in the house.
Let the bend into the yard, Zhang Xiaoxian first found a vacant house, and arranged for her to live first, this little girl looked tired, obviously curled up in front of the house all night, did not sleep well, now let her sleep well.
Everything will be arranged when I wake up.
Zhang Linzi, who has been lingering on the bed for a few days, feels good today, but his mood is still a little like the weather outside, dry and cold.
Propped up in a wheelchair, came out of the house, and looked at the sun that he had never seen for a few days, although it was not as warm as he imagined in this winter day, but it still made him feel relieved.
There was more meaning in his eyes.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Zhang Xiaoxian walking towards him with a strange little girl.
This strange little girl is very beautiful and lively, and while following Zhang Xiaoxian, she swayed her little head and kept looking around.
It seems that he is very interested in everything in this house.
"Who is she......" Zhang Linzi asked.
"Ao, this is a new little maid, you are physically inconvenient, if I am not at home in the future, then your diet and daily life will be taken care of by this little maidservant, so as not to have such a situation in the past few days!"
Zhang Xiaoxian explained to him with a smile.
"I didn't say I didn't need to, I can do it myself!" Zhang Linzi was a little angry when he heard that Zhang Xiaoxian had really found a little maid.
Zhang Xiaoxian understood that Zhang Linzi had such a reaction at this time because he didn't want others to think that he would only rely on others and hurt his self-esteem.
Hurriedly explained: "I am not only doing this for you, but also because this little maid has no relatives and no reason now, and has nowhere to go, so even if we pity her, we must leave her behind."
After Zhang Linzi heard this, he was silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.
But what happened next made Zhang Xiaoxian feel helpless.
The little maid who has always claimed that she has done laundry and cooking for a living, finally missed her feet when she did these small jobs.
What does it mean to have done it all? It's not good at all......
"You made this porridge?"
Zhang Xiaoxian looked at the black, sticky thing in his bowl that couldn't be more sticky, and the scorched vegetable stalks on the plate, and looked at the little maid in despair.
"Of course I did it, but it may be a little salty, hehe, it's the first time to say it, I think it will get better in the future!"
Seeing that the little maid was not ashamed, but felt a sense of accomplishment, Zhang Xiaoxian sighed greatly in his heart.
Did I Zhang Xiaoxian find a little maidservant, or did I find a bunch of trouble?
