After Zhao Hongfei returned to Lixiang Temple to renovate, he was about to resume his daily trip. This clan is not far from Xifu, but it is only three miles away. Originally, the head of the Zhao family planned to let his children abandon Wu Congwen and set it up that day.

The expenses of the clan are borne by the people who have officials in the clan, and they are funded according to the amount of money. In the study, the elderly and virtuous people are specially enshrined as teachers, and those with good qualifications or solid family backgrounds will have special personnel to teach the art of making and guide the way of scientific examination.

It's just that in the past few years, there have only been a few sesame-sized officials, and no one has entered the top three. It is easy for Zhao Shou, the eldest son of Xifu, to reach the top and enter the top three, a jinshi, and a glorious lintel.

However, God was jealous of talents, leaving only Zhao Lin's children and his wife Li to guard the long house.

Therefore, Zhao Song saw that Zhao Hongfei, who was outstanding in the family science, had the idea of cultivating carefully, and he did not expect to fulfill the last wish of his eldest son in him.

On this day, before dawn, Xu Ying wrapped the calligraphy and cultural relics, packed them up, prepared a meal and waited there.

When Zhao Hongfei came to the kitchen, he saw her sitting at the dining table napping, and thought: The twelve-year-old girl in front of her has the appearance of a good wife, but she is too small. The appearance is cute, which makes people feel distressed.

For a while, I remembered that she fell asleep crying and crying on the pillar alone last night, and I couldn't help but feel a little more pity in my heart, and I would never let her suffer in the future.

Xu Ying noticed that someone was coming, and quickly opened her eyes and said, "Let's have a meal, today I specially made a few exquisite porridge dishes, which are easy to restrain ourselves." ”

Zhao Hongfei sat down and said, "What about Miss Xue?" ”

"There was a lot of noise last night, and now she hasn't woken up yet, saying that she is going to sleep until three o'clock in the morning, and no one is allowed to call her. Otherwise, come one by one. ”

When Zhao Hongfei heard this, he could imagine the expression of the pigtail when he said this, and asked again: "Do you still have to use the two rough girls sent by Grandma Jin last night?" ”

Xu Ying smiled and pointed to the food on the table, and said, "Those two girls, one is called Ming Yan, who is good at cooking, and she made these things."

One is named Mingxia, who is good at female red. With her, I can't get my hands on the embroidery of red beans. Although the two of them are rough girls, I think they have to be more decent than the second-class girls in the ordinary house.

The most important thing is that both of them are new children, young and obedient. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongfei was also relieved, and advised: "You don't have to get up so early in the future, you haven't reached the end yet, sleeping more is also good for your body."

If you are bored on weekdays, you can go to Xifu to find Jin's grandmother and her needlework together, or play with the ladies in Xifu, or get along with your cousin, sister-in-law, and Miss Xue. ”

"Although Grandma Jin is from the East Mansion, she is in charge of affairs in the West Mansion, and she is busy every day, busy in and out, and she is not idle. I still didn't go there much, but my wife said that I could go to a few young ladies in Xifu together.

I'm going to meet you today. ”

"That's fine."

Zhao Hongfei had breakfast and was ready to leave. Xu Ying stepped forward again and said two sentences: "Reading is a good thing, but it is better to be greedy than chewy, it is better to have less, but also to be proficient, and always remember that the body is important."

There are too many days, a long road, not to be brave for a while, but to seek a lifetime without regrets. ”

After Xu Ying finished speaking, she felt speechless, where would a twelve-year-old boudoir woman say this.

But looking at Zhao Hongfei, he didn't seem to be surprised, and continued to calmly hand Zhao Hongfei the things he needed to go to school.

Zhao Hongfei took the package, took the green bamboo and walked to the clan school. It's the first time he's been told so carefully, it's really like having a home, and someone is always worried about you and thinking about you.

Xu Ying is really as she said when she was in the capital, she will take care of her like a wife and be by her side. Three years, what happens after three years?

Probably no one knows.

Xu Ying sent Zhao Hongfei away, and was about to go back to sleep when he saw that the pigtails had already gotten up and cleaned up.

"Where are you going?"

Sheep's horn pigtail said: "Naturally, I went to Gusu's Baicao Hall, this is the industry of the Divine Medicine Valley." Since I have come here, I have not gone around and let them recognize me, but I have never been able to say it. Besides, someone has just sent a message, and someone there is seriously injured, and I have to go and see. ”

Xu Ying didn't break that she wanted to go over and get some silver, she knew that she couldn't help much, so she only told her to come back early, and then she undressed and lay down to make up for sleep.

But who knew that at this time, Mingxia outside shouted: "Someone from Xifu is here to invite." ”

Xu Ying, who had just gotten into the quilt, had no choice but to put on her clothes and go to the inner courtyard of Xifu with red beans.

Entering the inner courtyard, Xu Ying was welcomed into the Songhe Hall, which was where the biological mother of Zhao Fu, Zhao Feng, Zhao Ya, and Zhao Song, lived. Walk through the verandah, pass through the hanging flower door, turn the cedar shelf marble carved wall, and behind it is the big circle of the main house. There are seven upper rooms in the front, all of which are carved beams and painted buildings, and there are various birds and birds hanging on them.

In the open space next to it, there are all kinds of flowers and plants, bonsai, which are obviously carefully waited.

There were two brightly dressed little girls standing at the door, and when they saw them coming, they hurriedly greeted them with a smile, lifted the curtain, and invited them in, and at the same time shouted: "Miss Xu of Lixiangyuan is here." ”

When Xu Ying entered the main room, she saw a round-faced old lady with silver sideburns and kind eyebrows sitting on the main seat, and next to her were four flower-like girls.

Xu Ying knew at a glance that the round-faced old lady was the ancestor of this mansion, the biological mother of the lord of the East Mansion and the West Mansion. As for the girls around me, I learned about it yesterday and it was generally clear.

After she saluted the old lady, she listened to the old ancestor say: "What a lovely person, but let people settle down first." Otherwise, it's not bad to keep it for us Jia'er. ”

Sitting close to the ancestor was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old man, with a beautiful appearance, good manners and speech, and a timid body and face, as if he had a deficiency. The eyebrows and eyes are worried, and they seem to be sentimental. It is expected that this is Lin Ranqiu, who is fostered in Zhao Mansion.

The ancestor gave birth to two sons and a daughter, named Feng Yasong, the eldest son Zhao Feng, the eldest daughter Zhao Ya, and the second son Zhao Song. This Zhao Ya was married to the Qinggui Lin family of the scholarly family, Lin Yuan.

gave birth to a daughter, Lin Ranqiu, and gave birth to another son five years later. It's just that the young son is weak and sickly, and he found a Taoist priest to count it as being with Lin Ranqiu. The Lin family was reluctant to have a son, and originally planned to send their eldest daughter Lin Ranqiu to live in the temple for a few years, and then get married.

Zhao Ya was reluctant, so she sent her daughter back to Gusu's house two years ago to be raised by her mother, and sent some silver clothes every year.

I don't know if it's because of this experience, Lin Ranqiu's temperament is a little different from the pampered young lady in Beppu, she thinks a little more than others when she encounters something, thinks too much, and her body is not strong, and now it is even worse.

Fortunately, the ancestors loved and pitied this granddaughter very much, and the three meals a day were stared at, and the tonic soup was sent over as if it didn't cost money.
