Xu Lan went to Min's house to deliver balsam after eating.

As soon as I got it done, I heard a knock on the courtyard door, and a thick female voice, "Does Sister Xu live here?" ”

This voice was a little familiar, and Xu Lanyin was stunned before she remembered that it was Zhang Manniang.

She's really from home!

thought that her father might hate Zhao Wu, but he also had to deal with her.

Xu Lanyin opened the door and said with a smile, "Sister Zhang is really a rare guest. Then he asked, "Are you alone?" ”

The carriage hired by Zhang Manniang in the county seat has already sent the carriage away.

Zhang Manniang said boldly, "What are you doing with so many people? As far as I am, no one dares to rob money. ”

Xu Lanyin invited her into the courtyard with a smile, and Xu Lanting also came out and said with a smile, "Sister Zhang, why didn't Brother Tie Dan come?" ”

Zhang Manniang smiled, "He went to school." He stuffed a package in his hand into Xu Lanyin's hand, and said with a smile, "Two rulers, for you." ”

Xu Lanyin thanked her, and after introducing her to the Qin family, she invited her to sit under the eaves, poured tea, and took two plates of snacks.

Now the spring is just right, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it is much more comfortable to sit in the yard than in the house.

After saying a few words, Zhang Manniang saw the utensils they used to make the paste and the finished paste, and asked for a box of relatively strong rouge paste. Seeing that there was no one around, he asked quietly, "Sister Xu, did you ask Brother Zhao about the matter I asked you about last time?" ”

Xu Lan smiled embarrassedly and whispered, "I asked for you." Zhao Wu said that he played very well with his cousin when he was a child, and the relationship between the two was the master of his deceased mother, and he had to continue to look for it, so he could only live up to Miss Zhang's kindness. He also said that Miss Zhang is bold and righteous, and her mind is pure, and she will definitely be able to find a good match. ”

Zhang Manniang's eyes were a little red, and she bit her lip and didn't say anything for a long time. Xu Lanyin accompanied her quietly, and she didn't know what to say to comfort her.

After a long time, Zhang Manniang sighed deeply and said with a wry smile, "I know that I can't be forced to do this, and I won't blame Brother Zhao." But," she put her head over and whispered, "let Brother Zhao pay attention to my father, my father is very dissatisfied with him now, and let my eldest brother and second brother find an opportunity to secretly clean him up." ”

Xu Lanyin looked at Xu Manniang in surprise, this girl was simple and refreshing, and she was very upright.

She said, "Thank you Miss Zhang for the reminder, I will tell Zhao Wu." Please also ask Miss Zhang to help Zhao Wumei say a few words in front of your father, he is really hard to disobey his mother's fate. ”

Xu Manniang nodded and said, "Of course I have to help Brother Zhao speak, my father has scolded me several times for this......"

Xu Lanyin left her for dinner, Xu Manniang didn't mean to leave, Xu Lanyin took her to the foot of the mountain again, and weaved a flower basket and a flower hat for her.

Although Xu Manniang is stout, she has a childlike heart and plays with great interest.

When she was leaving, Xu Lanyin gave her two duckling dolls to make her smile. Not worried that she would walk back alone, Xu Lanyin went to the fifth grandfather's house to hire a donkey cart for twenty yuan, and asked the fifth grandfather to send her to the door.

In the evening, Zhao Wu came back and listened to Xu Manniang's words, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

Early the next morning, Xu Lanyin took Xu Lanting to the entrance of the village with a few boxes of paste and took a donkey cart to the county seat.

They went directly to Xu's shop, and at the end of the time, Xu Lanyin went to the backyard of the county government to ask to see Min Nan. The little girl had to attend class for an hour in the morning, and it was already out of class by this time.

The subordinate said that Miss Min was in Mrs. Min's courtyard at this time, so he led Xu Lanyin directly to Mrs. Min's courtyard.

Mrs. Min smiled, "You haven't come to play at home for a long time, Nan'er has talked about it several times." ”

Min Nan smiled, "Yes, yes." Sister Xu, isn't the scenery there also beautiful? A few days ago, I went to Daxiang Temple with my mother to burn incense and go green, and the cherry blossoms there bloomed, so beautiful. ”

Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "There are the most azaleas on the mountain behind our village, they are fiery red, and they are very beautiful, and even the wind in my yard is sweet now." He took out three more boxes of paste and said with a smile, "This is the paste I made from the flowers and clear springs in the mountains, and I don't think it's worse than the one sold in the shop." ”

Mrs. Min took it and opened it, sniffed it, wiped it on the back of her hand, and said with a smile, "It's really good, Miss Xu is capable." ”

Xu Lanyin laughed twice, but it was hard to say what the Qin family taught her. The Qin clan is now a widow, and it's not good to fiddle with these things and spread them.

After a few people talked for a while, Mrs. Min kindly reminded, "That tenant of your house has a bad reputation, so send him away when it expires." Those people rent your house, don't spoil your two younger brothers. ”

What she can't say is, don't bring your reputation to life any longer.

Xu Lanyin said secretly, if there is really someone who is in front of Lord Min, the biggest possibility is Zhang Zhutou. What Zhang Zhutou didn't know was that his relationship with Mrs. Min was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, he said it there, and it came over here.

Xu Lan pretended to be puzzled, "Did Zhao Wu do anything bad?" ”

Mrs. Min said, "I heard that man has a bad temper, likes to cause trouble, is stingy and greedy for money, and likes to chew the root of his tongue. Tsk, it's a pity to have a good look. ”

That's not nice enough to say.

Min Nan interjected, "I heard a few little ladies say that Zhao Catcher is very handsome, so I secretly went to take a look. He is really handsome, and his demeanor is not inferior to those noble sons in the capital, it turns out that his character is so unbearable......"

Before she could speak, Mrs. Min frowned and said, "Is this something that your little lady can say?" He dared to sneak away to see the officials. No matter how good those people are, they are reckless people, and they can't be on the stage. If you dare to do this next time, I will tell your father and punish you severely. ”

Min Nan was scolded so much that she covered her tears and kept twisting her handkerchief.

Xu Lan was very unhappy that Mrs. Min said this to Zhao Wu, and she didn't dare to show it. seemed to help Min Nan excuse himself, "It's no wonder that Miss Min has this opinion, Zhao Wu has a thin family in his hometown, his grandfather has a talent in Xiucai, and he has also read books for eight or nine years, and his temperament is indeed different from those officials." ”

Min Nan heard this, and felt better.

Xu Lanyin continued, "Zhao Wuping is very polite in my house, especially filial piety to my mother...... Seeing Mrs. Min's face sank, she smiled again, "I still want to ask Mrs. Min for an idea." ”

Before, she wanted to quietly say that Zhang Zhutou forced Zhao Wu to be his son-in-law. But Mrs. Min put the words to her lips, and she just said them directly.

"What's the idea?" Mrs. Min asked.

Xu Lanyin smiled bitterly twice and said, "Zhao Wu offended Zhang Zhutou miserably......

He hinted several times that he wanted to tell his daughter to Zhao Wu, but Zhao Wu pretended to be stupid, saying that he had already married his cousin and had been looking for someone. Zhang Zhutou did not give up, and asked him to say yes, Zhao Wu had to clearly refuse, and he was hated by Zhang Zhutou, and Zhao Wu is often angry in the arresting room now......
