Xu Lanyin had no choice but to say, "If there is really that opportunity, I will help intercede with Steward Tang." However, the scribe is not a servant, so I don't know if it will be successful. ”

Only then did the old couple become happy.

Xu Qingming thought of something, and said, "Dad, you just scolded the Zhao family boy, he is now a person in the public gate, or a catcher, if he is looking for personal selfishness, what should he do?" ”

Among all the officials, what the common people are most afraid of is to catch fast. was really entangled by them, what kind of crime to blackmail, even those landlords were afraid.

Old man Xu's chaotic eyes rolled, and he was also a little afraid.

Mrs. Xu said, "No. The boy of the Zhao family has inherited the love of the girl, and he is also a good boy who remembers his feelings, so he will not embarrass us. ”

Old man Xu shook his head and said, "I don't know if that kid remembers the situation, I only know that he is cunning, coaxing the second child's family around, renting a house to him, and helping him with household registration and finding errands." ”

The old lady hurriedly said, "You are old and confused. The Zhao family's boy rented a house for money, ten taels of silver a year, and even three rooms in the county town may not be able to rent at this price. I packed it with food, but how much can I eat? If I knew Steward Soup, I would have helped with that too. If he stays at home for two more years, he will get twenty taels more silver in his house, and a strong laborer will not be able to earn this amount for a few years. ”

The old man calculated that he had indeed gained a bargain, so he also let go of his mind.

The old lady got up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the second room for dinner, and congratulate the Zhao family boy on becoming a member of the public gate." Thank you also for remembering us and buying good wine and sending it. It was we who thought wrong just now and wronged him. ”

Gu said to Xu Lanyin with a smile, "The boy of the Zhao family is good-looking, and now he is a person in the public family, but he is a good candidate for a son-in-law." ”

Xu Lanyin was really unhappy. She can understand that the Gu family has Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, after all, everyone will plan for the small family, and for Xu Dashi's sake, she doesn't want to be like her. But to say that is to say that I am excessive.

Xu Lanyin sneered, "Which good girl did the eldest aunt fall in love with?" If there is, let my grandmother help palm the eyes and take the idea. After all, Zhao Wu saved my brother, and my mother treated him as her own son. ”

Then he said that he had to go home to be busy, so he left first.

Mrs. Xu was also not happy that the Gu family said this to Xu Lanyin, glared at her and scolded, "You stinky girl, is that what the eldest aunt said to her niece?" The daughter of my old Xu family can't be bullied by outsiders. If you dare to talk nonsense in the future, see how the old lady cleans you up. He scolded Xu Qingming again, "Something that has no interest, you don't support your father, and let your mother help you?" ”

After saying that, he pulled the wish and walked out the door.

This is unwilling to let Gu go to the second room to eat, and Gu is embarrassed to follow no matter how angry he is.

As soon as the old lady arrived in the second room, she pulled Zhao Wu to explain, just now the old man quarreled with her, and he was angry, which made Zhao Wu feel wronged, and kept praising how capable he was, which resolved the embarrassing atmosphere.

After the meal, the few people left, and Xu Lanzhou kept pulling Zhao Wu to teach him martial arts. Xu Lanting and the Qin family rested, and Zhao Wu and Xu Lanzhou were still rowing under the eaves until late at night.

The snow was still falling, and the red lanterns were fluttering under the eaves.

Xu Lanyin didn't find a chance to tell Zhao Wu about the rumors in the capital. She didn't go to bed first, and boiled hot water for the two teenagers to wipe their sweat, and it was inconvenient for the farmhouse to take a bath in winter.

The next day, the news that Zhao Wuwu was good at martial arts and was made an exception to be appointed as a catcher spread in Xiaozao Village.

The first person to go to the "Zhao family" was Xu Jindou, the successor of Lizheng, and he also brought a set of gifts of fine porcelain dishes, and Zhao Wu accepted it very face-savingly.

Then Wang Sanni's grandfather, Wang Laohan, invited him to dinner, and at the same time, he also sent gifts, but Zhao Wubo refused everything.

Then there are the Yang family, the Li family, and the Ding family, and there are more little girls wandering around outside the courtyard of the second room of the Zhao family and the Xu family.

Zhao Wu, who came to Xu's house for dinner at noon, looked very helpless, but he couldn't hide his pride.

Qin and Xu Lanyin both laughed.

The Qin clan instructed Zhao Wu again, saying that he was smart, good at martial arts, and had a great future if he was good. persuade him not to follow those who are not motivated to catch up and learn, and not to do such hateful things as blackmail and slander, which not only ruin his future, but also feel sorry for his conscience.

Zhao Wuyi agreed one by one, and said, "I also want to have a future and honor my sister and aunt in the future." ”

His words amused several people.

Xu Lanting smiled and coughed, and said, "It's wrong, it's not filial piety to my sister." Brother Zhao is the same age as my sister, so he always feels that he is much younger than my sister. ”

Xu Lanyin said, "A big day is also big, what is called the same big." ”

Zhao Wu blushed a little. For some reason, he just felt that Xu Lanyin was much older than himself. changed his words again, "I said it wrong, I am repaying my sister and aunt." ”

After dinner, Xu Lanyin whispered to Zhao Wu that she had something to tell him later.

Zhao Wu was going to go to the foot of the mountain with Xu Lanzhou, but he didn't go after hearing it, saying that he was tired and wanted to sleep. So he went back to the house, plugged in the door of the fence and the door of the house, and sat down in the house and waited for Xu Lanyin.

After Qin and Xu Lanting fell asleep, Xu Lanyin quietly went out of the upper room.

The snow had stopped, and the bright sun was shining red on the rooftops and on the ground. A small path was swept from the courtyard gate to the upper room door, and a small path was swept out from the middle of the path to the east chamber gate. There was a layer of snow all around and outside the west door, and there were only some dog paw prints and bird paw prints on it.

Xu Lanyin didn't dare to leave footprints on it, but went down to the west chamber from the eaves, and gently opened the door to enter.

Zhao Wu laughed in a low voice, "Sister is so mysterious, what's the good thing?" ”

Seeing Xu Lanyin's serious expression, she smiled again.

Xu Lanyin sat down at the table before whispering, "I heard Miss Min tell a rumor about the capital, I don't know if it has anything to do with you......

As Xu Lanyin narrated, Zhao Wu's face became more and more ugly, and finally slammed the table with his fist, and roared in his throat, "That pair of old bastards, old sluts, actually, actually said that, master." They didn't count me as hurting, but they also made me bear that reputation in vain, and made my eldest brother feel guilty for the rest of his life, so that he and his wife will never get along......"

This is to admit that he has something to do with that rumor, he is Wen Zhuoan, the fourth prince of the Qingguo Mansion who "jumped off the cliff and was martyred".

Xu Lanyin comforted, "I heard that the Su family took the initiative to withdraw from their relatives. After this big event, I think your eldest brother's relatives will let it go. ”

Zhao Wu's eyes were red, and he didn't seem to hear her words, so he muttered for a long time, "That's fine, from now on, there will be no Wen Zhuoan in the world." He added, "No, there is no such person for the time being." ”

Xu Lanyin nodded and said, "Well, they think you're dead so you can do what you want." ”
