Jiao Jiao'er couldn't stay on her mother's lap for a while, so she was clamoring to go to the ground, Mrs. Xu teased the child for a while, and felt that she had fulfilled her share of being a mother today, so she frankly let the nurse take her away and go to the yard to play. She was bored, and remembered the gossip she had talked about with the wives of the Gao family last night, so she wanted to show off in front of her son.

"Brother An, you listened to the Gao family's sixth master's story."

Xu Yu'an was quite unhappy in his heart, thinking that you could listen to Uncle Gao's gossip, wasn't it in exchange for sacrificing his son to write big characters, so he ignored her.

"I know that the boy of the Gao family told you, but where is it? If you didn't tell me yesterday, I can't tell you today. ”

Xu Yu'an was even more angry, it turned out that Mrs. Xu had a grudge yesterday, and today she deliberately wanted to turn over the old accounts. Mom's heart is really as small as a needle. Xu Yu'an didn't talk, Xu Yuhuan was curious: "Grandma, grandma, grandma, what's the matter!" ”

Mrs. Xu was very satisfied that she still had a son who could match her voice, but for Xu Yuhuan, she was not so embarrassed to chew the root of other people's tongues openly: "Brother Huan, you are still too young, these things can't be listened to by little hairy children, go and play on the side." But she actually didn't care whether Xu Yuhuan walked away or not, she came to Xu Yu'an and said, "Brother An, do you know that last night Uncle Gao was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and their family Yiyun girl is going to find a short meeting." ”

Xu Yu'an ignored her: "I'm still too young, I can't listen to this." ”

Mrs. Xu knocked on her son's head: "You are so young, you are fourteen years old, and in the old society, you can marry a golden brick daughter-in-law." Listen up! ”

Xu Yu'an flattened her mouth, very helpless to her mother. I thought wow, Gao Zerui didn't update the situation today, but let his mother tell him.

Mrs. Xu said mysteriously: "This Yiyun girl was about to hang herself, but she was stopped by the old mothers. At that time, I was still playing mahjong, and the wives and grandmothers of the Gao family said that this girl was not a fuel-efficient lamp, but she knew where to go. Sure enough, this love was deeply meaningful, and the sixth master in the ancestral hall heard it, and he was even more determined not to marry, and he was determined to kneel and die in front of the ancestral hall. ”

Xu Yu'an listened a little: "What did the old lady Gao say?" ”

Mrs. Xu said: "Of course Old Lady Gao is angry, but this is where Yiyun girl is obedient." Yesterday, in our mahjong pair, in addition to me, there were also Mrs. Chen and Miss Yang, all of whom were outsiders, Yiyun was rescued and was free, so he ran to us, knelt down and kowtowed eight times. ”

Xu Yu'an thought about such a big thing, no wonder Gao Zerui was anxious to talk to him. He asked, "But what's the use of kowtowing to you?" ”

Mrs. Xu said, "Hey my silly boy, you are not as shrewd as anyone else's. The old lady has always been careful in the eyes of outsiders, for fear of being discussed as rich and unkind, so she relented on the spot and said: The children's affairs are not accurate, don't be in a hurry, and watch it. Yiyun girl thanked her miserably, and the sixth uncle of the Gao family was also released. ”

Xu Yu'an said: "That's complete." ”

Mrs. Xu shook her head and said, "How can it be so easy, this time I offended the old lady on the surface, Yiyunyan has good fruits to eat." ”

Xu Yu'an sighed that the affairs of the Gao family were really complicated, Xu Yuhuan listened for a long time, and asked ignorantly: "How did Sister Yiyun know that you went to play mahjong?" ”

As soon as he spoke, Xu Yu'an and Mrs. Xu both glanced at him. Xu Yuhuan was frightened, thinking that he had said the wrong thing.

Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "My son can't study, but I didn't expect to have talent in family affairs." As soon as Mrs. Gao walked forward, Mrs. Gao said, 'I don't know which room did it, and I put the news and led the way, and I don't know what kind of corruption An's heart is. I'm not stupid. ”

Xu Yuhuan was praised by Mrs. Xu, and immediately smiled. Xu Yu'an suddenly remembered another thing: "Mom, what kind of character is the scholar who was invited to my father's dinner yesterday?" ”

Mrs. Xu's eyes rolled and said vaguely: "I didn't see it too clearly, I didn't remember it." ”

Xu Yu'an read the good and clear voice, and asked again: "I didn't see it clearly, or didn't I remember it?" ”

Mrs. Xu threw the handkerchief on the table: "Eh, what does this have to do with you, everyone is leaving today, there are many scholars who come to the house, and you will see you next time." ”

It happened that Mrs. Zhao entered the door: "Mrs., the master is back." ”

Mrs. Xu responded and did not move.

Mrs. Zhao leaned over and said, "Madam, the master also brought someone back." ”

Mrs. Xu raised her eyebrows: "Male or female?" ”

Old Mother Zhao hurriedly said: "Man, man!" Wei Jun was born later, but unfortunately broke his leg. said that he was looking for a teacher for his buddies, and if he lived at home in the future, his buddies would have a care. ”

Mrs. Xu frowned: "Live at home? ”

Xu Yu'an almost jumped up: "I didn't want to teach Mr.!" ”

Old Mother Zhao persuaded: "Brother An, you don't want it, Brother Huan wants it too." ”

Xu Yu'an pointed at Xu Yuhuan, his fingers trembled: "If you don't come one day early, if you don't come one day late, he will finish his homework today!" ”

Xu Yuhuan was confused, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

At this time, there was a noise at the door of the restaurant, and the servants hugged Xu Hongqi and a junior student in.

Xu Hongqi was wearing a crisp white shirt, his tie was torn loose, and the suit had been taken off and was picked up by the servants. Mr. Xu is thirty-six or seventeen years old, in the prime of life, tall and tall, quite like a jade tree in the wind. He has tough facial features, thick eyebrows and two knives, a straight nose, and finally a long chin, but he still looks like a literati. The teacher who walked beside him, because he was holding a bamboo cane, his back was not straight, he was slightly shorter than Xu Hongqi, and his figure was very thin. He was wearing a gray linen gown, and his left leg was pulled up, revealing the white plasterboard underneath, and he really broke his leg.

Several children stood up and greeted their father. Mrs. Xu greeted her and put her arm in the crook of her husband's arm. Xu Hongqi has always been kind to his wife: "Ah Rong, why are you still playing mahjong today?" ”

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "No." ”

Xu Hongqi said softly: "Very good, then stay with me at home." He coughed, and then introduced the people around him to his wife: "This little brother is temporarily coming to the house to be a helper." I see that An'er is older, and she doesn't need a nurse anymore, but someone looks better after all. This little brother has inconvenient legs and feet now, but he still knows a few words, and if An'er and Huan'er have any questions, they can also ask, and it is convenient. ”

Mrs. Zhao and the others listened to it on the side, and they all looked a little confused. What is this new poster, a domestic helper, or a teacher? The master has two different calibers, and it is difficult to be a subordinate. But the old man was extremely unnatural about the ecology after that, his speech was vague, and his eyes didn't look at him much, as if he was facing an extremely embarrassing thing, and he wanted to avoid it in a hurry, and no one dared to ask the sharp-eyed people.

The latter also stood silently at the foot of the steps outside the house, bowing his head and listening quietly, the courtyard was dim, and he couldn't see his expression clearly. Mrs. Xu usually wanted to ask things clearly, but today she only turned around and swept her eyes twice over the posterity, revealing a little sly smile.

Xu Yu'an has always been very slow about the atmosphere, and when he heard that his freedom in Chad was in danger of being lost, the boss was not happy: "Dad, I don't need others to teach me." ”

Xu Hongqi was embarrassed by that posterior, but he was so energetic in the face of his son that he even spoke neatly: "An'er, don't make trouble, it's hard to get your homework in middle school, it's not as good as Gao Xiao." Nowadays, college students not only learn English, but also French or Russian, so you have to learn more and be more obedient. He turned his head to look at Xu Yuhuan again: "Have you finished your homework?" ”

Xu Yuhuan was about to be proud, but Xu Yu'an didn't allow his father to change the topic, he pointed to the latter and said: "Then he, if you want to teach me, how advanced is your knowledge?" ”

Xu Hongqi frowned, turned around and instructed the descendant: "Jade...... Jade...... Tell An'er for yourself. ”

Then the latter raised his head and said loudly: "Mrs., Brother An, Brother Huan, my name is Yusheng." ”

Later, he had a clear and warm voice, and the official words were correct and round, which was extremely good. Xu Yuhuan heard it at first glance, thinking that this person's voice was so familiar. When he saw the face of the descendant, he was also startled, and he knew what Old Mother Zhao meant by "weird handsome".

He was twenty years old, with a snow-white face, a pointed jaw, and a straight nose like an onion, which was extremely delicate. A pair of peach blossom eyes and double eyelids are deep, the eyes are like a pool of spring water, the silkworm is smiling, and the eyebrows are very bookish. But upon closer inspection, he found that his face was very bad, as if he had a sickly countenance, his cheeks were thin, sunken, and he could see signs of poverty, and his hair had been shaved to the ins of the laborers. But when he smiled at Xu Yu'an, a pair of dimples appeared on his thin cheeks.

Xu Yu'an didn't know what to say for a while, he was the first time he had seen such a handsome young man. The mixed temperament of wealth and poverty, delicacy and shabby, had long exceeded his comprehension and made him stunned. His young heart, like an insect falling into a net, suddenly swelled with sorrow. People sometimes see a good thing, but they are bound and dare not touch it rashly, for fear of being abrupt. This subtle melancholy first came to light in Hsu's short, happy fourteen years.

Xu Yuhuan was much more frank than his brother, and he had already pounced on Yusheng in three or five steps. His pink and round baby face was squeezed like a sunrise flower, and the slender Danfeng eyes inherited from Mrs. Xu narrowed into a line, and called, "Brother Yusheng! "The children of the Xu family have liked to play with older children since they were young, and his liking for Yusheng comes from an instant.

Yusheng let him hold the corner of his clothes, smiled, and said to Xu Yu'an: "The homework in the country should not be a problem, if there is a problem, take one step at a time." ”

Xu Yu'an thought what kind of answer this is, bullshit; And I thought, "Oh, he's smiling so beautifully."

"That'...... Just take a look. He lowered his eyes and muttered.

Because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, Yusheng was placed in a guest room on the first floor, close to the servant's room. Xu Hongqi was very relieved that the arrangements were made, but before returning to the room, he sighed in front of Yusheng and said nothing.

Yusheng closed a pair of sparkling eyes, bowed his head and replied, "Yes." ”

Xu Hongqi saw that he didn't have this person.
