Chapter 259: Ruined Courtyard

Xiao Huiran immediately came to his senses, and said crisply:

"Then you're far worse than me! Although I have never read the Four Books and Five Classics, I have memorized things like "Three Character Classics" and "Hundred Family Names" by heart! Of course, I won't teach you, because your foundation is too poor, and I will have a hard time teaching. You have to follow him and start by learning to write 'one, two, three'. ”

"Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names" are the enlightenment books for children, and children generally begin to learn to recite them at the age of six.

Xiao Huiran is ten years old after the New Year, but he has only learned these two things, which shows that his knowledge is really not very good.

Su Jiu smiled and didn't tear her down, "Thank you Fourth Sister for your advice." ”

After sending them away, Su Jiu returned to the small hall with Bai Lu and Frostfall, and said curiously: "Speaking of which, I have seen three sisters these days, but I have never seen the eldest sister. As far as I know, she is not married, and she still lives in the house. ”

Frost Fall was a little excited, "Miss doesn't know, Miss Xiao Peilan was placed under house arrest by the old lady in the backyard because she eloped with the Xie family." This incident was quite a sensation in Jinling City at that time, and we had all heard about it! ”

"Elopement?"

Su Jiu was surprised.

Bai Lu glanced at Frost Fall angrily, "How old is Miss, and you dare to tell her about such a thing?" If the master knows, be careful that he hits you! ”

"Oh......"

Frostfall aggrievedly pointed at the fingers.

Su Jiu was thin-skinned, and he was embarrassed to ask again.

At dinner, an uninvited guest came to the small hall.

Xiao Tingchen stepped into the threshold and sat down familiarly, "My sister moved here, are you still used to it?" ”

Saying this, he glanced at the dishes on the round table, and asked Bai Lu to add him a pair of dishes and chopsticks very cheekily.

Su Jiu smiled gently, "I'm used to it, I don't want to go back to Mingde Courtyard again." ”

"Well, I don't like my sister nagging in my ear all day. After you moved out, Mingde Yuan was much quieter, which was exactly what I wanted. ”

Su Jiu glanced at him and didn't speak.

Xiao Tingchen ate half a bowl of rice and said casually: "By the way, those two flower hens are crying every morning, and they are very noisy. I'm always busy, and I often forget to feed them, so I'm going to kill them tomorrow and stew them, and remember to drink them. ”

Su Jiu raised his eyebrows, "If the little brother thinks they are noisy, it is better to get them and I will raise them." ”

She also likes the two flower hens.

What's more, it was sold to her by the head of the house.

Xiao Tingchen picked up the small cup, took a sip of soup, and said lightly: "That's so troublesome, if the third uncle knows that I let you raise chickens, he will definitely be angry with me." ”

The little girl thought for a while, and wondered: "Then I'll go to Mingde Courtyard every day to feed the chickens, don't kill them." ”

The young man drank the soup, and under the cover of the small white porcelain cup, the vermilion lips gradually puffed up the arc of the successful conspiracy.

The winter snow is gradually disappearing, and in two days it will be the Shangyuan Festival.

In the second room of Xiao Mansion, Xiao Tingchen and Xiao Tingde packed their luggage and prepared to go to Chang'an to participate in the Spring Festival after the holiday.

Su Jiu came to Mingde Courtyard in the evening to feed the chickens, and he was carrying a cloth bag in his hand.

The cloth bag contained the cloth shoes she made for the Great Demon King.

She wanted to give him clothes to go to Beijing to take the exam.

When I arrived at Mingde Temple, I didn't see anyone, so I went to get into trouble somewhere.

The little girl sullenly put the cloth shoes in her arms, intending to return to Heting.

At the end of the verandah, the grass and trees were overgrown, and a dilapidated courtyard was located in the middle, and no human voices could be heard, only a few birdsongs could be heard occasionally, which made this place more and more empty and secluded.

Su Jiu suddenly remembered that when she first entered the Xiao Mansion, Liu's mother had taken her around the mansion.

At that time, she also deliberately pointed to this small courtyard, saying that this was a forbidden place in the house, and no one was allowed to enter.

Who lives in it?

Archdemon: Yes, I'm out doing business again.
