Fan family.

A family member hurriedly came to Fan Zhengping's: Master, Miss pushed the meal out untouched again!

Fan Zhengping's face twitched. It's been three days, and every time I send food in, I have been pushed out as it is, that is to say, Fan Xiaolu has not eaten a grain of rice for three days. Moreover, there was never any crying or smashing sound in the courtyard.

If the people inside are crying and smashing, at least it means that she still has strength, but there is no sound at all, there are only two possibilities: first, she will carry it to the death and will never give in easily, and second, she is so hungry that she doesn't even have the strength to cry.

Neither of these two is what Fan Zhengping wants to see. In the vigor of that day, he really didn't even have the heart to recognize this daughter. But after a few days, his heart gradually calmed down, although he was still very dissatisfied with his daughter still trying to defend the thief, but no matter what, a daughter is a daughter, no matter what she did wrong, she couldn't erase the fact that blood was thicker than water.

Moreover, in the past few days, he suddenly received a letter from his old father Fan Chunren, who was not only very concerned about his grandson Hongde's studies and scientific examinations, but also very concerned about his granddaughter Xiaolu's situation, and carefully inquired about Xiaolu's situation. In this way, he is a little embarrassed, the people of the Fan family have never lied, and he Fan Zhengping has been trained by this court since he was a child, and he has been abiding by this rule for decades. However, now to tell such a little news to the old father, with his sick body in his seventies, can he stand it?

Thinking of this, Fan Zhengping was troubled for a while, and said impatiently: Let her go, you should still send it to her as usual.

The old man Dinga looked lonely, and he didn't dare to say more, so he agreed and withdrew.

As night fell, the Fan family, which had been struggling to live in peace these days, finally fell into silence. When the moon rises to the treetops, most people have fallen asleep, and people in this era are all about going to bed early and getting up early, and this is especially thoroughly implemented in a big family with strict rules like the Fan family.

Outside the courtyard where Fan Xiaolu lived, a small sleeping tent had been erected at this time, and it was installed next to the gate, and several family members in charge of guarding it took turns to spend the night here. In fact, it is not necessary at all, because the door is locked quite tightly, and who can easily enter and exit without a key?

However, someone did get in, and it was very easy.

Fan Hongde walked out of the dry well, with a hint of a thief's smile on his face, and made a grimace at the moon in front of him, before patting the dust on his body and walking into Fan Xiaolu's room.

He is a scholar who has no power to restrain chickens, and he can't climb walls and trees, and the gate is so watched that he can't get in from there.

Fortunately, he has a secret passage, a secret passage that only he and Fan Xiaolu's brother and sister know.

It turned out that the Fan family's house was bought from someone else's, and the dry well in the courtyard where Fan Xiaolu lived was actually a secret passage to other places. Since this secret passage does not lead to the outside, but to the other rooms of the main house, needless to say, it must be specially used for cheating.

When the brothers and sisters of the Fan family were young, they were very stubborn and curious, and once they climbed into this dry well, and they found this secret passage by chance. At that time, out of the psychology of children to protect their playthings, they formed an offensive and defensive alliance, and no one leaked this secret passage. When they grow up, of course, they will not be able to climb this secret passage again, and after a long time, they will no longer think about this secret passage.

This time Fan Xiaolu was imprisoned, Fan Hongde was worried, and immediately remembered this secret passage, and climbed in that night. The relationship between the two brothers and sisters is very incomparable, and they have no suspicions since they were children, although Fan Xiaolu had this incident, Fan Hongde has no doubts about Fan Xiaolu. Moreover, in his opinion, even if the truth is as the legend of people outside, there may not be anything wrong with Xiaomei.

In this way, the two of them made up this plan, and Fan Hongde sent the food and drink every night, and Fan Xiaolu pushed back the food sent in from outside.

It should be said that this move of the brother and sister is really insidious enough, even Fan Zhengping, who is determined to teach Fan Xiaolu a lesson, has now begun to waver, and is no longer like a few days ago, when he mentions his daughter, he is thunderous. And Fan San, who was still lying on the bed and couldn't move, heard the news, and scolded Fan Zhengping unceremoniously, that tone was no longer like a subordinate, but like an elder.

Fan Xiaolu's room door was only hidden at this time, Fan Hongde pushed it very skillfully, opened it, and Shi Shiran walked in.

And our Miss Fan, who was thought to be so hungry that she didn't have the strength to cry, was lying on the bed in a very comfortable position at this time, with her hands on her cheeks, not knowing what she was trying to write. Seeing Fan Hongde come in, Fan Xiaolu's face showed joy, she suddenly got up, greeted her, snatched the food box in Fan Hongde's hand, and said: Let me see what is delicious today!

While opening the food box, he complained: "Big brother, why are you so lazy, you waited until this time to deliver it today, you really starved me to death!"

Fan Hongde showed nervousness, and hurriedly reached out to cover Fan Xiaolu's mouth, and said: Be quiet, my aunt, if this is heard by people outside, it doesn't matter if you are finished, I will be unlucky with you!

Fan Xiaolu said: What are you afraid of, these people have already fallen asleep, even if they hear any sound, they think they are in a dream! That being said, she really lowered her voice and complained: Do you talk like this? I am not thin on you, if it weren't for me, would you be able to know Jing'er? If it weren't for my matchmaking, would you be able to get along with Jing'er? Now that I, the person who made the trouble, I asked you to do a little favor, and even complained about it, which is really disappointing!

Fan Hongde showed a look of grievance on his face, and said with a wry smile: What you said and what you complained about, it's all my fault! I just said it casually, and I don't have to use the words of this car to teach me a lesson, right? No matter what, I am also your brother, you have to leave me some thin noodles!

Fan Xiaolu grabbed a chicken leg and bit it, and took the time to say: Then tell me, why is it so late today? You know, I haven't eaten all day, and I thought you forgot, so I wanted to crawl out to find you!

Fan Hongde smiled bitterly: I was called over by my father to give a lecture, saying that my grandfather had sent a letter, asked about the situation between me and you, and discussed with me how to reply. I think Daddy really regrets it now, his old man usually makes decisions about big and small things, and he never talks to anyone, let alone a junior like me. And this time

Fan Xiaolu showed a smug look on her face and said: Whoever made him so ruthless should be upset. So how did you answer him?

Fan Hongde shook his head helplessly, and said: Actually, I don't have a choice, it's just that the old man is very powerful, and it is rare for him to discuss things with me, if I don't give an idea, I'm afraid that he will turn his face on the spot. I thought, it doesn't matter if I'm grounded by him, what are you going to do? You can't fight halfway through and start compromising and eat what they bring in! Or, just really starving? For this reason, I reluctantly gave him a trick, and made him say, "You have been in the house, and have not been out for days, and you have been quiet day and night, and have not caused a single trouble outside!"

Fan Xiaolu pointed at Fan Hongde in surprise, so surprised that she couldn't speak: You, you

Fan Hongde said with a righteous face: What am I, am I wrong? These days, have you gone out, cried, or caused trouble? Aren't all what I say the truth? As for how to tell the truth, it is not a problem for me to consider, I only know that even if the Sage Confucius writes articles, he has a Spring and Autumn penmanship, and it is reasonable for us to have a focus for the health of my grandfather and his old man! Besides, if Daddy really writes a reply like this, it will only be good for you, and there will be no harm!

When Fan Xiaolu heard the question, she became interested, and hurriedly asked: What do you say?
