At that time, the sky was still overcast.

Huge flakes of snow fell from the misty sky, on the fields, on the villages. The snow encompassed the whole heaven and the earth, and a silent white enveloped all living beings.

The boy suddenly couldn't sleep, maybe because he hadn't slept in such a comfortable and warm bed for a long time, or maybe because he didn't have to worry about the government coming to chase people out for the first time.

He didn't know why he couldn't sleep.

When the boy got up, he saw that the candle was still lit, and heard a little sound outside the house, a small sound, but he seldom slept peacefully, and this sound alerted him from his sleep.

He ran to the window and looked out through the crack in the window......

There are two wings where the housekeeper and the maid are already getting up.

One after another, they walked to the kitchen, and they were about to start tossing and eating for the masters and subordinates living in this house.

The boy walked back, lay down and thought, "What am I, am I a subordinate?" The lord said that I can read, can the descendants of the Lou family read and write? ”

Thinking about it, the sky slowly brightened.

A housekeeper came in the wing, and took the boy to the big kitchen.

"Child, the chefs in charge of the big kitchen in the house will get up at the right time, and we will get up early to eat, and then we must start cleaning up and preparing for the day's work. You remember to get up at midnight to eat, or you will starve in the morning. ”

"Thank you, brother, know"

"No thanks, no thanks, you only came yesterday, and you should have told you last night."

After breakfast, some of the people in the house were clearing the snow and some were doing needlework. People who do rough work are all.

Lou Shixian has just returned from his husband's house.

Before the middle of winter, Mr. gave him two poems for him to go back to study hard, and the result of this study, since he came back from the Xin family in Yunnan, he was delayed for a day, and he hurried to Mr.'s house early this morning to reply.

"Father, I heard Wen Jing say this morning, was that child taken into the house yesterday?"

Lou Shixian was very curious about what kind of child this was, he looked just as old as Ran'er, how did he get his father's appreciation?

"Yes, Shixian, do you think this kid is a companion for you?"

Lou Qingyuan couldn't understand Shixian's mind anymore, he was the only man in the house, although the family members sometimes played with him, but he was not the same age after all. The two younger sisters are small, and there are always many differences in the interests of girls and boys, and the little loneliness in his heart is of course understood by the father.

Lou Shixian jumped up from the stool in surprise, he has a companion at home!

"In the morning, I heard that my father included this child in the house, not as a family member, but as a schoolchild, and the child thought that it was a casual talk from the next people, but I didn't expect my father to be so empathetic."

Lou Shixian was overjoyed, the corners of his mouth were raised, his long sleeves were stroked, and he was a child who had discovered the treasure.

Lou Shixian was happy, and Lou Qingyuan was naturally very happy

Although Shixian's child is sensible and reasonable, but the children should have happiness and companionship, Lou Qingyuan doesn't want to lack this child at all.

"Silly boy! A companion was so happy that he called the child, and the father didn't know his name! ”

"Yes, boy, call my brother here." After speaking, Lou Shixian ran over and pulled the boy to the main hall.

"Hey, what are you pulling me for?"

The boy was puzzled, he hadn't seen this boy who was a head taller than him, but he looked at this must be a young master, and he was smiling very happily, so it must not be a bad thing.

"You, you'll be my person from now on! Hurry, hurry, hurry. ”

After the boy walked to the main hall, he shook for a while before he stood firmly, and Lou Shixian took him to walk and run, I don't know what kind of happy thing it is?

"Sir."

The child half-bowed and greeted Lou Qingyuan, who was sitting in the seat.

"Come, child, I have something to ask you."

Lou Qingyuan took his arm and motioned for the boy to come closer.

The boy took a few more steps, not knowing what he was doing.

"Child, I Lou likes you very much, and the people in my family are also quite kind to you, seeing that you have a bleak background but a good temperament, I decided to include you in the house yesterday, are you willing in your heart?"

"Yes, the lord and the lady can take me in, I am grateful, I understand that you are a good person."

The boy went from the door of Lou's house to Lou's house, he understood that this was a good family, with a good heart, and he knew what was good and bad.

"Haha, okay."

This child is divided into good and evil, and is grateful. From yesterday's when he recited the poem and explained it, Lou Qingyuan knew that he had accepted a person who should have received it!

"This is the only son in my house - Shixian, you will be by his side in the future, be a schoolboy, and accompany him to study and study, are you willing?"

The boy was stunned.

When the little brother took him to dinner this morning, he listened to all the words he said, and he was content to have a place to live, but he didn't expect that the master could let him not be a subordinate, but as a schoolboy, and accompany the young master to read and write!

"I, I'm ......," the boy was so excited that he couldn't even speak.

"Oh, stupid, say thank you, master, why are you still stammering?"

The boy laughed at Lou Shixian like this.

"My name is Lou Shixian, what about you? What is your name? ”

The boy replied, "My name is Xunyuan." ”

"Xunyuan?" This surname Lou Qingyuan has never heard of. Lou Shixian has never heard of this name, and it feels very special, it doesn't seem to be a Kyoto surname.

"Yes, but can I change my name if I want?" The boy frowned and lowered his head, as if he didn't like being called by that name.

"Change your name? Why? "Although this surname is rare, it is also catchy, so why change the name?

The boy explained that his father had given him the name, but that he was a drunkard who had killed someone, and that he was scared and knew that it was not a glorious thing. Now that his family is dead, he doesn't want to call that name anymore, the only person he misses is his mother, who died in the flames, but his mother has long since died.

After finishing speaking, Lou Qingyuan fell into deep thought.

This child is indeed very pitiful, since he has decided to accept him into the house, he must not go back on his word, but it is also a good thing that the name has been changed, and it can also produce better results if the cause of sorrow is broken.

Lou Shixian thought for a while: "Then what name do you want to change?" ”

The boy thought of his mother.

"My mother's surname is Su, young master, can you give me a name?"

Lou Shixian thought about the Su family, this ...... He was only four years older than this child, and it was really not his ability to name him......

Lou Qingyuan looked at the small packets of several medicinal materials that Pang De had brought in early in the morning, and a name came to his mind.

"Su Fangmu?"

"Child, Su Fangmu is the name of a medicinal herb, do you hear this name?" Lou Qingyuan used medicine as a name, not only hoping that he would have a safe life, but also hoping that he would be like this Su Fangmu, like the Lou family saved him, and also do good deeds and become a good person.

"Su Fangmu?" The boy thought it sounded good.

Lou Shixian immediately added: "Yes, the prescription of the medicine, the wood of the grass and trees!" It's a nice name, and it's your mother's last name! ”

Su Fangmu was very happy, like the Garden of Eden after the wind and rain, he was full of joy while being grateful.

"Fang Mu, thank you for taking care of you, thank you, young master."

Uncle Shen came in: "Master, the west courtyard has brought a few kinds of mountain and wild strange grasses that have just been harvested, please go over the north courtyard to have a look." ”

Lou Qingyuan got up and prepared to leave with Uncle Shen.

"Okay, Shixian, you take Fang Mu to walk around a lot, you have to get along well!"

"My son knows!"

After Lou Shixian finished speaking, he ran out with Su Fangmu.

It's a shame not to have snowball fights with the snow here! Ha ha!

At that time, the outside of the hall was full of children's laughter.
