In the second half of the day, He Fangnian gave Xu Yuan a half-day vacation, first, because his new article was a great improvement compared with before, and second, Xu Yuan did not even return to his home after the mountain fire case, and rested in the government all day and night.

Even if Xu Yuan had the heart to ask for advice, he could see that He Fangnian's eyes were red, and he endured the fatigue to talk to him, and immediately accepted the teacher's kindness, packed up his books and walked out of the mansion quickly.

Because of the temporary holiday, the little maid didn't come to pick him up, so Xu Yuan had to put the two books he carried with him into his sleeves and walk slowly along the street, and the pedestrians who walked past him were all in a hurry.

Children on the street hold the candy man to play the game of weaving flower baskets, the legs hook the legs and hands on the shoulders of a person in front of them, three or five children can form a group, seven or eight children can also form a group, jumping and spinning, the sugar man in his hand is high and low, some are licked head, and the whole is stuffed into the mouth by the child and chewed...... When Xu Yuan walked past them, his sleeve was tugged, and when he turned around, he found that the cuff was glued to a doll's candy man.

The flower basket was forced to disband because of Xu Yuan's intervention, and the children gathered in a circle to blame the doll who lost the candy man crying, and no one dared to blame the tall adults, so Xu Yuan was naturally left aside.

"I said-" Xu Yuan interrupted them, pointing to his sleeves, and his two beautiful thick eyebrows frowned, "You can make it again when the flower basket is gone, you can buy it again when the sugar man is gone, blaming and crying won't solve the problem." ”

Xu Yuan gave the silver to a few boys who seemed to be a little sensible, "I accidentally bumped into you, and I will compensate for the sugar man." ”

The boys refused to take it, they knew in their hearts who hit whom, and if they did, they would be ashamed.

"Big brother, we stained your clothes, and we apologize to you. Your clothes look like good material, and we are worried that you will beat us like other young masters, and make our parents lose ......money."

Xu Yuan smiled and shook the silver taels in his hand, "That's why this son said that blaming and crying is not the solution to the problem, you can be sure that I hit you, and everyone is working together to break the gold, are you afraid that I will slander you?" ”

"But big brother, you didn't lie to us......"

"What if this son really slandered you? Is it to blame him as if he was fine? Or do you all cry together? Xu Yuan patted them on the shoulders one by one, "You have to be more despicable than him to the despicable people in order to win." ”

The children's faces showed doubts, and Xu Yuan changed his words, "However, for people who are kind in your heart, you have to be kinder than them in order to gain respect." Don't be mean to everyone, and don't be kind to everyone, otherwise you won't be able to escape being bullied. ”

The children were still a little ignorant, but the little kid who had lost the candy man had a bright light in his eyes. Xu Yuan said these words to remind him that he seemed to have understood, so he waved goodbye to them with satisfaction.

"Ya Po and Sell Po are buying and selling maids and wives in the eldest princess's mansion today, which is rare in a hundred years......"

"I've heard that the maids and mothers-in-law in the eldest princess's mansion have seen a lot of the world, and even the daughter of the lord of the mansion has gone to visit today...... The eldest princess has no master when she leaves, and she can't go back to Beijing with her, which is cheaper for us. ”

"It's not, when the big family picks up the first-class maid and mother-in-law, let's just pay a few taels to buy a maid or mother-in-law to go back, and we can also use it as a façade."

"I think it's almost the same if you want to buy a maid and go back to fill the house, and the mother-in-law can breastfeed the child at most."

The two of them were in front of each other, and they turned around and found Xu Yuan behind them, busy rolling up their sleeves and slapping, and each said, "Hello Second Master Xu." ”

Xu Yuan returned the gift and was invited by the two to go to the eldest princess's mansion to join in the fun.

"Second son Xu buys a maid today, there is only one little scholar by your side on weekdays, how can there be a maid to know the cold and the hot?"

Xu Yuan smiled shyly, "I'm used to being alone, it's useless to buy a maid." My scholar is a small man, if you see me adding a maid to the room to serve, you must think that you are not serving well, and you will have to do things in the future. If he doesn't do things well, I will not be happy in my heart, and I will inevitably complain a lot as the days go by. ”

The other person shouted, "How can there be such trouble, he is not effective in doing things, he is sold, he has always been a subordinate to look at the master's face and do things, and I have never seen the master treat the subordinate as a bodhisattva." ”

The two of them had an orderly idea, and Xu Yuan patiently listened to them all the way, nodding with a smile from time to time as if he had listened.

There is no shortage of maids in the Xu Mansion, as long as Xu Yuan wants to, casually say that Mrs. Xu will arrange it. He just felt that the maids in the house were of no use except for making the bed, stacking the legs and rubbing the shoulders, and these little maids would do it.

The three of them walked not slowly, and soon walked to the street where the eldest princess's mansion was located, the vendors did not have a fixed place to sell, and they were well-informed, so they came here early to pick a bamboo basket and push a cart.

There were many luxurious carriages and soft sedan chairs parked outside the crowd, and the brightly dressed maids walked back and forth between the carriage and the eldest princess's mansion from time to time, and each time they went back and forth, the faces and costumes of the people behind the maids were different.

Xu Yuan was a head taller than the two people who came with him, and when he staggered the crowd slightly, he saw Xiangqiao standing behind the door of the mansion.

In front of her stood two maids with double buns, looking happy, only she frowned, as if she was looking for someone in the chaotic crowd.

"Miss He bid five taels to buy the second-class maid Sui'er!"

The man on Xu Yuan's left jumped up three times in a row, and only after watching Sui'er follow Miss He's maid back to the carriage did he give up, and summed it up: "An ordinary maid is worth four taels of silver, and this appearance Zhou Zheng is from the eldest princess's mansion, and five taels is not a loss." ”

The man on the right lightly touched Xu Yuan, "Second Prince Xu is working in the mansion, have you ever seen Miss Mingyue, the daughter of the mansion?" ”

Xu Yuandao: "No, Miss He is an adult's family, and she lives in the backyard on weekdays, how can I easily see it?" ”

The man sighed lightly and looked very pity.

"Bai Gongzi bid seven taels to buy a kite!"

Today, in addition to being able to buy a maid, the eldest princess can also buy some old things that have been used, but most of them are coming to the maid and woman, and they are very surprised to hear that someone spends seven taels of silver to buy a kite.

Xu Yuan watched the kite being carried out of the crowd, and saw a man with braided hair sitting on a horse, holding a bright and beautiful kite and smiling very brightly at the small window of the carriage.

"Third Miss, you see the kite, you have seen the excitement, it's time to play!" Baiyun Road.

Wen'er lifted the curtain, Ruan Miaoling looked out of the window, lowered her head and asked Wen'er to say a few words, Wen'er nodded again and again and quickly got into the crowd.

"Wait." She said.

Without Ruan Miaoyi's involvement this time, buying Xiangqiao should be very smooth.
