Chapter 2 The Xu Family
Jingchen looked at Xu Nanfeng, who kept packing up things, touched his head a little sadly, and couldn't help asking, "Senior sister, are you really leaving?" Aren't you coming back? ”
Xu Nanfeng, who was picking and sorting away his things, heard Jingchen's slightly sad tone, couldn't help but stop the movements in his hand, turned to look at Jingchen standing next to her, and couldn't help laughing: "Fool! Why wouldn't I come back? I'll come back to see you whenever I'm free! When the time comes, I'll bring you some delicious and fun food! Good no good? ”
"Really? Monks don't speak! Don't lie to me! ”
Hearing Xu Nanfeng's comfort, Jingchen couldn't help but be happy, "You want to bring me something delicious!" ”
Xu Nanfeng couldn't help laughing, "Okay, good!" I'll bring it to you when the time comes! Don't talk! ”
"Knock knock!"
"Come in!"
Jing Ying took the book out of the bookshelf, turned to look at Xu Nanfeng, who had just come in, walked to the seat and sat down, "Nanfeng!" Something to do at such a late hour? ”
"Master, I'm here to say goodbye to you!"
After saying that, Xu Nanfeng brushed his dress, knelt down towards Jingying, and kowtowed his head three times.
"Thank you Master for taking good care of Nanfeng over the years! Nanfeng will never forget the master's kindness to Nanfeng in this life! I know that I have brought a lot of trouble to my master over the years, and I thank him for not giving up on the south wind! Nanfeng is deeply sorry for his performance over the years, and is full of gratitude for the master's Zhaofu! ”
"South wind! You are still young, skinny, and it is normal that you can't stand loneliness, and the master is also from your age! You're going down the mountain tomorrow, and the master will give you a few suggestions. ”
"Yes! Master, you said, Nanfeng will always remember it! Xu Nanfeng stood up straight and looked at Jing Ying with a pair of big eyes.
"First, do everything you do, think twice, and remember not to be reckless. Your temperament is a little out-of-the-box, and the master is not very reassuring to you. ”
After that, he looked at Xu Nanfeng, who was obviously a little weak-hearted, and then said: "Second, everything is fate, what should be yours is yours, not to force it." ”
"Third, and most importantly, it is also something that all mortal people will come into contact with, that is, the love between men and women! You actually want to go back to the Xu family, and you will inevitably encounter it when the time comes, in this country that pays attention to three obedience and four virtues everywhere, as a woman, you have to suffer a lot, and I only hope that you can look down on it and don't let yourself fall into trouble. ”
After Jing Ying finished speaking, she touched Xu Nanfeng's long hair, and if she wanted to stay away from the red dust, she had to step into the red dust first, otherwise she would not talk about staying away.
"Master, Nanfeng remembered!"
Xu Nanfeng felt a little lonely for some reason.
In the early morning of the second day, Xu Nanfeng set off with Mrs. Xu and her party.
Over the years, he has stayed in Zhiyuanan every day, and rarely has the opportunity to go out of the mountain, so that Xu Nanfeng was a little excited along the way, lying on the car window from time to time, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the road.
"Grandma, I haven't been back for a long time, it's become so lively here!"
At this time, it was early morning, and there were already many vendors on Yangcheng Street who had set up stalls, and there was still a little dew on all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables, which looked bright and dripping. There are many women dressed as women, carrying bamboo baskets and picking in front of the stalls......
"Selling pancakes! Freshly baked pancakes! ”
"Buns! Fragrant meat buns! ”
The owner of the steamed bun shop and the baked cake shop shouted and was busy wrapping the oil paper for the guests.
Mrs. Xu looked at her granddaughter's eyes and stared straight at a roast chicken restaurant next to her, and couldn't help but smile and instructed Xiao Guo: "Xiao Guo! Go buy a roast chicken and come back! ”
"Yes! Old lady! ”
After speaking, he quickly ran towards the roast chicken shop, "Boss! Take a roast chicken! ”
"Okay!"
Xu Nanfeng couldn't help but shift his gaze to his grandmother's side, "Grandma, how do you know that I want to eat roast chicken?" ”
After saying that, I was a little embarrassed, and I said in my heart that the wine and meat had pierced the intestines, and the Buddha stayed in his heart, Amitabha, sin, sin, sin!
Mrs. Xu looked at her granddaughter's appearance and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "Don't worry! The Buddha won't blame you, and you're not really a nun! What a craving! It's hard! ”
Xu Nanfeng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes! That's the reason, and I don't know why I can't eat meat, I've endured it for a long time! ”
Xu Nanfeng has always given people a very appetizing feeling when eating, and Mrs. Xu asked, "Is this roast chicken delicious?" ”
"Delicious!" Xu Nanfeng wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
"Since it's delicious, do you want to eat it in the future?"
"Yes!" Xu Nanfeng replied without thinking.
"In this world, there is nothing that is not earned for nothing, if you want to eat, you have to make money, and if you have money, you will have food! You know? ”
"So what?" Xu Nanfeng couldn't help but look at the old lady Xu with a cunning face in a little panic.
"You! To study hard, grandma has already hired a famous gentleman to teach you. From tomorrow, you will study in the Xu family private school in the morning, and go to our embroidery workshop with the shopkeeper in the afternoon to learn the way of this business. ”
"Isn't it!" Just came out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf pack, Xu Nanfeng was not good!
The Xu family compound is located in Luyun Lane on the east side of Yangcheng Street. Luyun Lane gathers rich and powerful people in Yangcheng, and is known as one of the most unprovoked places in Yangcheng.
The arrival of Xu Nanfeng simply made the Xu family's compound a lot more lively, and even Xu Haoliang, who has never been very homely, specially asked the court for leave, in order to see this daughter who had not seen him for a long time.
Mrs. Zhou set off from Mrs. Xu to pick up Xu Nanfeng, the whole person was a little flustered, she hadn't seen her baby daughter for a long time, and from time to time she ordered her subordinates to see if the person had come back, and she couldn't be idle, so she went to her daughter's room to arrange it a few times, afraid that her daughter wouldn't like it, and went to the kitchen to make some delicious meals herself.
After everything was done, he went to the gate of Xufu to stop, and from time to time he looked at whether people came back!
"Madame! Relax, it's not like you haven't seen your daughter! ”
Although Xu Haoliang said something, he couldn't help but look out of the alley!
"Having said that, I just can't calm down! Why haven't they come back! ”
"Auntie! Cousin, I'll be back soon! Don't worry! Zhou Chuchu couldn't help but pat Mrs. Zhou's hand comfortingly.
Not long after, someone carried a dark red soft sedan chair towards the Xu family's compound.
"It's coming! Here it comes! ”
Mrs. Zhou and her entourage looked at the sedan chair in front of them excitedly.
The palanquin man gently put down the sedan chair, and everyone saw a girl wearing a blue and white Luo skirt coming down from the sedan chair, with willow eyebrows, almond eyes, a small ruddy mouth under the tall nose, fair complexion, and a slender hand lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and said in a somewhat pleasant tone: "Grandma! We're here! ”
Mrs. Xu was helped out of the sedan chair by Xu Nanfeng, "I'm home!" ”
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
Xu Haoliang and Mrs. Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Mrs. Xu!
Zhou Chuchu followed behind Mrs. Zhou and said in a low voice: "Hello old lady! ”
"Hmm!"
Old Madam Xu glanced around and said lightly: "Let's talk about it first!" I'm a little tired after a long day! ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
A group of people accompanied Mrs. Xu towards the mansion.
"Mother! It's been a long time since I've seen you and you're beautiful again! Xu Nanfeng happily held her arm when he saw Mrs. Zhou.
"You! The mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter! Grow taller! Mrs. Zhou happily touched Xu Nanfeng's hand and couldn't help sighing.
"Do you only have a mother in your eyes, no father? Dad, you don't even see such a big person around you? ”
Xu Haoliang glared at the grinning Xu Nanfeng with some dissatisfaction.
"How can it? Didn't I talk to my mother first and then say hello to you? Daughter is here to say hello to you! ”
After that, he saluted Xu Haoliang. provoked Xu Haoliang to laugh.
Xu Nanfeng pulled the corners of his mouth in a happy mood, "Huh? This pretty girl? Who is it? ”
Regarding Xu Nanfeng's teasing, Zhou Chuchu couldn't help blushing, and said coquettishly, "Cousin! You're teasing me again! ”
"What a joke! My cousin is a beauty, isn't she? Cousin, I'm telling the truth! ”
"I ...... I can't talk about you! With that, he ran away shyly.
"Why is my cousin's face still so thin all these years?"
"You think everyone is like you, with such thick skin, not like a daughter's family!" Mrs. Zhou said to Xu Nanfeng helplessly.
Xu Nanfeng stopped talking, this thick-skinned nature, she was thick and proud, and I don't know why my mother always likes to talk about her. What's more, she will take over the embroidery workshop in the future? How can you talk about business with thin skin? She boasted to her grandmother that she would want an imperial merchant in the future!
Grandma really did what she said, and the next day she was called to Xu's private school to study with Mr. Gu.
The Xu family's private school is a place for the children of the entire Xu family to study, to be honest, Xu Nanfeng doesn't hate reading, it's just that she is such a big person, why should she take classes with these little dolls?
Obviously, the class next door is more suitable for her!
Xu Nanfeng, who has always been thick-skinned, couldn't stand the curious little eyes of the little dolls around him, and tried his best to shrink his body to reduce his sense of existence.
"What do you don't know about what you're talking about today?" Gu Fuzi held the book in one hand and helped his somewhat gray beard with the other.
"Master! Students have questions! ”
Xu Nanfeng hurriedly stood up, "The student has one question, why do I have to go to class with this group of children!" Obviously, the one next door is more suitable for me! As he spoke, he looked a little embarrassed at the curious little guys around him.
"There is a difference between men and women!"
Gu Fuzi replied, "Okay! No problem, that's all for today's lesson! Get down! ”
"Goodbye, Master!"
Leaving Xu Nanfeng with a confused face.
