Widow Dong cried a few times and felt that her heart was not so depressed, so she pulled her sleeves and wiped her tears, patted her little daughter's shoulder, and said, "You stupid girl, I am your mother!" If this is good for you, can my mother stop you? ”

The table buried her head in front of her mother and sobbed and refused to speak, Widow Dong was helpless, and patiently persuaded her, "Last year, you gave your purse to your brother, and that matter is already out of order, if it spreads, people don't know how ugly to say this gossip?"

But it's hard to get it back if you've already given it, that's the only way to go. But why don't you listen to your mother's words and run to Zhang's house.

Don't talk about your character, he is a student, and in the future, he will be an official and marry a young lady from a big family, you are a peasant girl, how can he marry you? You've all worked in vain..."

Brother Zhao watched his sister's tears fall, and he couldn't bear to feel distressed, so he said, "Mother, he also took the purse that the table gave to your brother, and he probably has some love for the table."

Besides, the Zhang family only does the work of Pucao's sister-in-law, so I don't know if I can send your brother to study again. In case he doesn't study and stays in the village to farm, it's not impossible for him to be with the table? ”

Widow Dong was also distressed when she looked at her youngest daughter's crying and swollen eyes, and felt that there was some truth in her third daughter's words, so she had to sigh and say, "That's it, I'll reveal this matter today." After the table is full, you are not allowed to approach the Zhang family, and you are not allowed to do anything unruly. If you dare to do so, I'll break your legs. Let's take a look in the coming year, if your brother really doesn't go to study, I'll find someone to explore Zhangjiakou. ”

Xu was looking forward to a turnaround for many days, and the table was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and then suddenly hugged his mother's arm and cried even more.

Widow Dong was helpless and annoyed, pushed her away and said, "Don't cry, be careful of unclean things, you two sisters hurry up and go to sleep, remember your mother's words." ”

"Yes, mother." Seeing that the mother had returned to her house, the sisters were lying head to head in the bed and whispering, snickering a few times from time to time, tickling each other and making trouble.

Girl's feelings are always poetry, but whenever there is a little joy, in their eyes it is a good memory that should be remembered for a lifetime. It's just that I don't know if the person she misses in her heart can be worthy of this affectionate, night-to-night lovesick dream...

Not to mention that every family in Nangou Village is busy preparing all kinds of winter supplies, only to say that next door to the government in the north of Cuiluan City, the two big characters of "Sun Mansion" flying and dancing appear on the lintel, the vermilion gate is nailed with rows of copper rivets, and the blue bricks on both sides are high walls. The gray wall tiles look more and more atmospheric and neat under the clear sun at the beginning of winter.

The two little stewards in green clothes and gray hats were coming out of the side door with two little guys, looking up at the sun, they were all smiling on their faces, and gossiping, "The weather is so fine, I'm afraid it will be a while before the snow falls." ”

The other said, "No, God is fulfilling us." The masters have listed more purchase orders than in previous years, but they have broken their legs, and they can't buy them in two or three days. Fortunately, the snow fell late, and it could be free for a few days. ”

As the two of them were talking, they saw a black-painted carriage on the corner of the street. On the left and right sides of the carriage sat the coachman and the attendant servant, and just by looking at this posture, you can know which master's frame it must be.

Among them, the older little steward carefully glanced at the sign hanging in front of the car, and immediately trotted up to meet him, and said with a smile, "It turns out that the young master has arrived." ”

The carriage stopped in front of the door, and the little man jumped out of the carriage and ran to open the door, and the little steward stepped forward with great eyes and stretched out his arm, and helped the handsome and richly dressed boy in the carriage. Then he smiled and saluted respectfully, and said, "Why does Young Master Cousin have time to come out for a walk today?" ”

Needless to say, this noble son is Fang Jie. He got off the station, unfolded the folding fan in his hand and shook it, and said with a smile, "I've been busy with business recently, and I haven't visited my aunt for a long time, so I just came here when I was free today." What's the matter, Third Brother Chen is going on an errand? ”

The little steward hurriedly waved his hand, "Young Master Cousin should still call the little Chen San'er, the little one can't afford to be promoted by the Young Master Cousin." If the young master came to visit the second lady, it would be really unfortunate. ”

Fang Jie raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with doubts in his eyes, "Why is it unfortunate that my aunt is not in the house?" ”

"Young Master Cousin guessed well. Today's weather is fine, the second lady took the eldest lady out of the city to incense, even if she came back, it was too early to finish. ”

The little steward smiled, "Even the adults of my family also went to the Qintong prefect's mansion in the south of the city to have a banquet." ”

"Who else is in Nafu? It can't be that Bao Kun is also going out, right? Fang Jie looked a little unhappy, as if he was very annoyed because he had gone in vain.

The little steward hurriedly smiled and said, "Young Master Cousin said that he was joking, there is no holiday in our Little Young Master's Academy, where can I go out for a walk?" ”

Fang Jie looked up at the sky, his face was a little better, and said, "Look at this time, I'm afraid it's out of class in the school, I just brought some gadgets to play with Baokun for a while, otherwise my aunt will come back and say that she will be taken away again." ”

The little steward also laughed when he remembered his little master's "hard days", "Then the young master hurry up and invite it inside, if our little master sees you coming, I'm afraid he will forget everything because of his joy." ”

Fang Jie nodded with a smile, and then walked towards the door. The little guy hugged a carved wooden box and followed behind, and the few porters guarding the door were also familiar with each other, and greeted him with a smile and a smile. Fang Jie casually touched a piece of broken silver from his purse and threw it over, and several porters immediately thanked him with a smile.

Seeing the figure of their master and servant disappear behind the Zhu Gate, another little steward ran forward and pulled Chen San and asked, "Third brother, who is this person, why are you so respectful?" ”

It is said that the prime minister's door is a three-rank official, and in the entire Cuiluan City, if it is more powerful than the official position, no one can go beyond their Sun family.

Although they are just a small steward of procurement and a slave of the Sun family, but when they go out of this door, the masters of ordinary small families have to respect them for three points.

To put it mildly, it depends on the owner to beat the dog. It doesn't matter if you provoke them, it's the master behind you who is reluctant.

Therefore, the little steward saw that the most authoritative big brother in the purchasing steward was so humble, but he was a little angry, and curiously asked about Fang Jie's identity.

Chen San heard what he said, and hurriedly pulled him out of the distance before he whispered, "You kid hasn't been in the house for long, and I don't know the details, but you have to remember in the future that this Fang Gongzi must not be lazy." He is the nephew of the second lady, and he is very loved by the second lady, and even we adults often praise him. ”

"Oh, I see." The little steward nodded again and again with a look of sudden realization, and regretted why he didn't come forward to salute and ask for a chance to show his face just now.

You must know that there is no chief lady in their house, and the second lady is in charge of the backyard, so she is naturally in power. He was able to be transferred back from the Grange to get the fat difference of purchasing stewardship, and it was all up to his uncle who had just become the second housekeeper to ask the second lady to do it, even if others didn't stammer, he had to be closer to three points.

Chen San saw that the little steward looked annoyed, so he naturally knew his thoughts, and said in a low voice with amusement for a while, "Also, our eldest lady is very fond of this son." Who knows, whether he can be the son-in-law of our Sun family in the future. ”

Sure enough, the little steward regretted it even more when he heard it.

Don't talk about the gossip of the two of them, just say that Fang Jie entered the back house all the way, and the porter had already run to inform the chief housekeeper Sun Cheng.

Sun Cheng greeted the second door, saluted respectfully and said with a smile, "It's really not easy to wait for Fang Gongzi to come to the door, the second lady has been talking to you for a while." ”

"Uncle Sun, how are you doing lately?" Fang Jie replied with a half-salute, walked to the second gate with Sun Cheng, and responded, "I heard that the porter said that my aunt and adults are not there, so I wanted to see Baokun, the school is out of class, right?" ”

"Childe was in a hurry, and class had just ended in the school. If the young master knows that you are coming, he will definitely be overjoyed. As they spoke, they walked down the verandah, and entered a small courtyard through a moon gate.

A few bushes are planted on the wall of the small courtyard, and there is a wooden frame standing next to the shrubs, and the swing tied to the wooden frame sways slightly with the wind, adding three points of childlike fun to this small courtyard.

Seeing that the two of them entered the yard one after the other, they left early and ran into the house to report. Soon the house cheered and ran out of a little boy in a royal blue brocade shirt, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, very cute and delightful.

"Cousin, cousin, your words don't count, I've been waiting for you for a month."

Fang Jie half-squatted down to catch his cousin who rushed like a calf, and the smile in his eyes was even more genuine and thicker, "I've been busy lately, and I forgot about it for a while." ”

Sun Baokun tried his best to strain his little face, pretending to be annoyed and said, "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." The cousin broke the appointment, not because of a gentleman. ”

Fang Jie laughed, turned around and took the carved box in the hand of the little servant Dongzi, and said, "Cousin knows that he is wrong, so he specially found a few gadgets to make an apology for you, how about it?" ”

Sun Baokun waited for this sentence, the little face that was still tense just now seemed to be melting in spring, and it was instantly overflowing with joy, and after holding the box, he pulled Fang Jie to the house, and urged in his mouth, "Cousin, play with me for a while, my mother should say that my plaything is lost when I come back." ”

The Sun family's original wife has been weak since she was a child, married into the Sun family, and after giving birth to Miss Sun, she became more and more bad, and went first ten years ago.

Lord Sun took in a few more concubines in order to breathe, but there was no movement. On the contrary, she married back to the second room for many years, that is, Fang Jie's aunt Lao Beng Huaizhu, and gave birth to the only male in Sun Mansion safely.

Master Sun is also reasonable, for fear that his son will become a gentleman. Not only did he ask the famous teacher to teach, but he also told the second lady to be strict on weekdays.

Therefore, Sun Baokun's baby pimple life has been extremely pitiful since he was a child.

At the age of ten, it was the time to be naughty, but he was bound by the rules like a little old man. But if there are two good things to fiddle with, they will be taken away by the mother before they are hot for a few hours, and they can't change the mother's soft-heartedness.

In this way, Fang Jie felt very distressed. Every time I came to the door, I brought him a few small things, and then played with him for a while, which naturally made this kid happier to see him than his parents.
