Chapter 8: Xu Zhen

Xu Lan was woken up by Baizhu in the afternoon, she opened her eyes in a daze, and Baizhu immediately called Bai Qi and wiped her face with a hot and humid rag.

"The girl is about to get up, it's time to get up in the afternoon, and the princess is still waiting for you and Miss Xu Xin to go over and study."

Xu Lan was still in a daze, Bai Zhu looked at it and sighed, and the two of them, Bai Qi, hurriedly took care of Xu Lan. Not only did he clean his face, put on his clothes, and put on his shoes, but also faintly began to snow outside, so Bai Qi put a big coat on Xu Lanyou.

Xu Lan walked on the road, and slowly sobered up, looking at the heavy snow, the burden in her heart was also put down, and she couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.

When she arrived at Princess Xu's place, Xu Xin had not yet arrived, Xu Lan walked in and said affectionately: "Mother, I came to study, hasn't my sister arrived yet?" ”

Princess Xu touched Xu Lan's head with a smile and said, "Your sister is a little lazy, you have to wait for a while, come to your mother to have a sip of hot tea first, and start learning warmly in a while." ”

Xu Lan nodded obediently, then sat next to her mother, holding the hot tea and began to eat.

As soon as the mother and daughter had just gossiped a few words, Xu Xin lifted the curtain and came in, saw that Xu Lan was also there, and said, "My sister got up earlier than me." ”

Xu Lan smiled and teased: "That's no, I don't want you to be so lazy, sister." ”

Xu Xin couldn't help but be furious, pinched Xu Lan's face and said, "You dead girl, you won't spare people!" ”

Princess Xu looked at the two sisters and laughed a few words, and then said with a straight face: "Okay, don't make any more trouble, now daughter, you start to learn housekeeping with me." ”

Because of the lesson in the morning, Xu Lan and Xu Xin naturally didn't dare to say no, and the two of them sat down and listened carefully to Princess Xu's study.

After writing this breath for another whole afternoon, Xu Lan felt that her head was already groggy, and her mind was full of houses, shops, fields, and crops, and she couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.

And Xu Xin on the other side is not much better, her brain is not as good as Xu Lan, and she doesn't know anything about these numbers and the like, and the two girls are almost forced to listen to the princess's teaching in the end.

When Princess Xu said that it could be over, Xu Lan and Xie felt that they had seen a ray of light again.

How did Princess Xu not know what the two girls thought, seeing their confused appearance, she was also a little distressed, so she said: "Okay, you have also worked hard for a day, go back and rest." ”

Xu Lan and Xu Xin answered yes in a daze, and then withdrew.

After coming out, the snow outside had stopped, and Xu Lan actually had a feeling that it was only one day in the mountains and a thousand years in the world.

"My God, Sister Lan, I just feel now, my mother asked us to learn what kind of female red and embroidery, it's not too easy." Xu Xin said almost weakly.

Xu Lanshen nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, sister, this arithmetic really gives me a headache." ”

The two girls are not arguing now, and they actually have a feeling of sympathy for each other.

After Princess Xu separated, Baizhu followed Xu Lan back, and when he walked to the road, Baizhu suddenly said: "Miss, since you are not good at arithmetic, why don't you go to Brother Zhen and ask?" I heard that Brother Zhen not only does a good job in articles, but also does good poetry, and even arithmetic is also a good hand! ”

Xu Lan heard Baizhu say this, and now she suddenly realized: "Yes, Brother Zhen'er has always been smart, and he is also very proficient in arithmetic, why did I think now, Baizhu, you are so smart, go, go, let's not go back to the room first, while the sky is still bright, go to Brother Zhen'er to learn first, and see if he is still at home." ”

Bai Shu smiled and said yes, and the two of them turned around and walked towards Xu Zhen's courtyard.

Princess Xu's courtyard and Xu Zhen's courtyard were very close, and after only two meals, Xu Lan saw Xu Zhen's courtyard from a distance, and her face couldn't help but smile, as if she saw the scene where she would cut arithmetic under the horse in the future.

It's just that it's very strange today, when she walked to Xu Zhen's yard, there were already maids and grandmothers who greeted her in the past, but today she was quiet.

Xu Lan and Baizhu glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be a little vigilant, Baizhu went up and quietly pushed open the courtyard door, and there was really no one inside.

Xu Lan and Baizhu now had a little worry on their faces.

"Brother Zhen, are you at home? My sister came to talk to you. Xu Lan shouted boldly, but no one inside answered.

At this time, even Xu Lan felt that something was wrong, she walked quickly to Xu Zhen's door, pushed the door open, and ushered in a smell of blood.

Xu Lan looked at it and saw Xu Zhen lying on the ground, with a blood hole on his body, bleeding out.

"Brother Zhen! Really brother! What happened to you! What's going on! Xu Lan was taken aback, and Baizhu was also a little frightened.

Xu Lan hurriedly ran up to help Xu Zhen up, and took his hand to probe his snort, fortunately there was still some breath.

And Baizhu is also a clever one, seeing this scene, he hurriedly ran out to call someone: "Come on, come on, come on, really brother has an accident!" ”

And Xu Lan here, he supported Xu Zhen and tried his best to block the blood hole on Xu Zhen's body, this is the blood hole still can't be blocked, the blood keeps flowing out, and Xu Zhen's face is getting whiter and whiter.

Just when Xu Lan was panicking, Baizhu finally brought someone back from outside, and when the girls saw that it was full of blood, they screamed with an "ah", and some of them with weak hearts were already frightened.

Xu Lan couldn't help but be furious when she saw this useless scene: "A group of useless things! What is it called! Don't hurry up to the doctor! ”

Baizhu hurriedly nodded and said, "Girl, don't worry, the little guy has already gone to find a doctor!" ”

Xu Lan heard Baizhu say this, but her heart did not settle down, but she felt that something terrible was about to happen, she held Xu Zhen in her arms, and for the first time felt that the sky in the capital was about to change.

After a while, a doctor came in a hurry, the doctor was an old man in his fifties, and his beard was already gray, but if he was used to seeing the world, he couldn't help but be startled when he saw this bloody scene in front of him.

But he was an old doctor after all, and after a while, he calmed down, and hurriedly stepped forward to take Xu Zhen from Xu Lan's arms and lay flat on the ground.

He put his hand on Xu Zhen's pulse to look at it, looked at it for a while, then exhaled and said, "Girl, don't panic." The little boy just looks bloody and a little scary, but he is not seriously injured inside, and there is still a breath of gas, so I will stop the bleeding for him. ”

At this time, Princess Xu and Xu Xin had also arrived, and when Princess Xu saw the scene in front of her, her face turned white with fright almost immediately, and she almost fainted, and Xu Xin was also startled.

When they heard the doctor say this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Xu Lan even said, "Doctor, please!" ”

The doctor nodded, tore the clothes on Xu Zhen's body with force, and took out the gold sore medicine from the medicine box.

At this time, the doctor raised his head and said, "Trouble the princess, can you get a basin of hot water?" ”

When Princess Xu heard this, she hurriedly turned her head and said to the maids: "Go and get a basin of hot water, are you dead people?" Just watch from the side! ”

The maids hurriedly turned their heads to fetch water, but a few breaths of hot water came. The doctor cleaned Xu Zhen's wound with hot water, and the blood stains next to him were washed away.

Then the doctor carefully sprinkled the gold sore medicine, and finally took gauze and bandaged Xu Zhen's wound. finally saw that the bloody wound was blocked by gauze, and the people next to him finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, the doctor commanded a group of maids and slaves, carried Xu Zhen to the bed, carefully checked his pulse, prescribed medicine, and said to the princess: "The little boy is fine, just rest in bed for a few days in the future, remember to abstain from eating these days, eat and drink lightly, do not be happy and sad, and easily anger." ”

The princess and the others nodded their heads again and again, and the princess hurriedly asked her subordinates to seal a generous bounty for the doctor, and begged the doctor to rest in the palace tonight.

After the doctor left, Princess Xu seemed to have lost her pillar all of a sudden and sat on the edge of the bed.

After Princess Xu took a few breaths, she looked up at Xu Lan and said, "Lan'er, tell your mother quickly, what is going on?" Why did Brother Zhen suffer such a big injury all of a sudden? ”

Xu Lan also wanted to tell the princess for a long time, she made a look at the slaves around her, the princess naturally understood, waved her hand and drove those slaves and maids out, and in an instant, only the princess was left in this house, as well as Xu Lan and Xu Xin.

"Mother, don't worry, after I came out of your yard today, because I thought that my brother was good at arithmetic, I thought that my brother was good at arithmetic, so I wanted to learn more from my brother here. When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, there was no one, and it was quiet and terrible when I entered the courtyard. Saying this, Xu Lan couldn't help but stop and take a breath.

"I immediately felt that something was wrong, and quickly pushed open the door, but as soon as I came in, my brother was lying on the ground unconscious. I panicked, and hurriedly went to the doctor, and you, mother, and you already know what happened next, mother. Xu Lan said, looking at the real brother with a pale face on the bed, who had just been frightened, and now it flowed out, and the tears came down.

Xu Lan threw herself into Princess Xu's arms: "Mother, just now, I was scared to death." ”

Princess Xu mourned in her heart, she hugged Xu Lan and coaxed: "My son, I have wronged you." ”

Xu Xin, who was next to her, saw this scene, and her eyes were also red.

The mother and daughter cried for a while before they could be relieved, Xu Lan wiped her tears, got up from Princess Xu's arms, and said, "Mother, this matter must not be simple!" Brother Zhen was killed in his own house, and this palace is afraid that it will not be clean! ”
