Chapter 68: Punishment of Xiaoxiao
Chapter 68 Punishment of Xiaoxiao
Huang Youcai thought he was afraid, tilted his chin and said loudly: "In the past, Master Liu and I just pretended not to know, and that was also to save face for you. ”
Xu Wenyang smiled: "Within half a year? How many years have you and Liu Han been here? You haven't raised it, so how can you keep me from raising it? ”
Huang Youcai heard him ask such a question, and said: "Master Liu and I have our own reasons to stay, it's not that we can't be promoted, but we want to wait for the expiration of our term of office to make achievements and be promoted based on our strength." ”
Xu Wenyang hooked the corners of his lips as if he was smiling, and he was a little creepy: "Sure enough, what you say is better than what you sing!" Don't think I don't know, Wuyuan is located in the south, the wind and rain are smooth, but the annual tax paid is the least in Linxian County, you keep saying that you have been plagued by the bandits of Guangwu Mountain, aren't you in collusion with the bandits to fill your pockets? ”
"You...... You, you're secretly investigating us? Huang Youcai began to feel weak.
Xu Wenyang waved his hand at Zhang Yue: "Take it down and look at it, I'm not in the mood to deal with this stubble now." ”
Zhang Yue nodded and took Huang Youcai down.
Xu Wenyang turned his head and saw Xu Jiao holding his chin on the side and watching with relish, and asked, "Are you afraid?" ”
Xu Jiao lay back on the desk: "What are you afraid of?" My dad is upright and cleans up the supper, which is very interesting. ”
Xu Wenyang smiled: "It's really grown up." You can rest assured, Dad has already packed up the two internal responses, the next thing is to treat the epidemic, and then find a way to clean up the bandits, Dad will soon be able to return Wuyuan to a clear and clear place, and then the scenery will take you back to Beijing. ”
Xu Jiao gave him a thumbs up and smiled: "Look after you~"
Xu Wenyang scratched the tip of her nose: "Naughty!" ”
Xu Jiao suddenly asked seriously: "The warehouse is out of medicine, what should you do?" ”
Xu Wenyang pursed his lips and sighed: "The medicinal materials are okay, my father can find the medicine, the silver is the problem, don't be afraid, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and I will think of a way." ”
Xu Jiao pointed to his chest: "How much money did Master Huang take just now?" ”
Xu Wenyang took out a little silver ticket, and there were actually 20,000 taels! When it was handed over to Zhang Yue, let him go and buy medicinal materials.
Xu Wenyang turned around after finishing his business, and saw Xu Jiao holding a brush to write and draw on the paper, so he couldn't help but lean up and take a look, and frowned at this look: "Why haven't you grown?" How many times have I told you that when you hold a pen in your hand, you can put at least one pigeon egg in the palm of your hand, and also, with the strength of your wrist, don't shake your whole arm. ”
As he spoke, he held Xu Jiao's hand and taught her to write.
It's strange to say, Zhao Yin also taught her to write, but she just can't learn well, and she always gets interrupted. Xu Wenyang's grip, Xu Jiao immediately concentrated, and was extremely attentive.
Xu Wenyang patiently taught her for half an hour, and when she saw the missing clock, it was almost noon, so she put down her pen and said: "Eat first, and practice later when you have time." ”
Xu Jiao lifted the written words with both hands and looked at them repeatedly, and said proudly: "I can't imagine that one day I will also write calligraphy, tsk, it doesn't look bad!" ”
Xu Wenyang said: "It's some progress, but it's still far away, and I don't have to practice more in the future." ”
Xu Jiao nodded: "Yes." Father! ”
"You are very different from before, and you have fulfilled the old saying that the eighteenth change of the female college is really true." Xu Wenyang felt very relieved to see her eccentric appearance.
Xu Jiao put down the rice paper and asked, "Was I better in the past or better than I am now?" ”
Xu Wenyang stepped forward and took her hand and said as she walked out: "My Jiaojiao has always been very good. ”
Xu Jiao felt that asking him such a thing was tantamount to not asking, from getting along these days, she felt that Xu Wenyang was a rare good father in this era, maybe it had something to do with his background, he was too close to her.
In the afternoon, Xu Jiao was taken to the study by Xu Wenyang, and she loved to work on the side, so that she could practice calligraphy on the small table next to her.
Xu Jiao doesn't want to practice calligraphy even when she reads a little, she wants to go out!
No, as soon as she wrote two big words, she put down the brush: "I want to drink water." ”
Xu Wenyang said: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot, Dong'er is in the back hall, I'll ask someone to call her over." ”
Xu Jiao's eyes widened: "Jiang Yunfei actually asked you to bring her down?" ”
Xu Wenyang nodded: "Well, after you were taken down the mountain by the prince, he was very nervous, and he was still looking for you all over the world outside." ”
"How do you know?"
So, Xu Wenyang told her in detail what happened after she went down the mountain, and finally said with a straight face: "Remember this matter for you first, and then settle accounts with you when I am busy with the major events in front of me!" ”
Xu Jiao pretended to be afraid and shrank back, and then asked, "Don't you know Jiang Yunfei?" ”
Xu Wenyang said: "How can I know him, I have seen his father a few times, but I just looked at it from a distance, I didn't look closely, you don't know, my father was a small official when he was in the capital, how could I have the opportunity to meet Jiang Shuai?" ”
Xu Jiao said: "Doesn't he often walk around the Guogong Mansion? ”
"He went out of the same house as your uncle, and he only came to the Guogong Mansion to see your uncle, but he didn't have any friendship with me."
While the two were talking, Dong'er probed in: "Master, you called me?" ”
Xu Wenyang nodded: "Come in and see who this is?" ”
Dong'er stepped in, turned around the treasure shelf and saw Xu Jiao behind the big vase, and cheered excitedly: "Miss! ”
Xu Jiao raised her hand towards her and rubbed her ears: "My ears are almost deaf!" So excited? ”
Dong'er jumped up and hugged her tightly: "Miss, you're worried about Dong'er, but fortunately you're safe and sound now, you know?" There's a plague out there, it's terrible, I ......."
Xu Jiao pushed her away and said, "I know, if you have anything to say, sit down and say, you are about to strangle me." ”
Dong'er cried and laughed and stepped back a little: "Where are you these days?" Are there any injuries? Have you ever been bullied? As he spoke, he stepped forward and pulled her arm to look back and forth, left and right, and finally without waiting for Xu Jiao to answer, he concluded: "It's okay, it's just a little thinner." ”
Xu Wenyang interjected at the right time: "Your young lady is thirsty. ”
As soon as Dong'er heard this, she let go of Xu Jiao and hurriedly went out to prepare a small charcoal stove, a teapot, and water......
Half an hour later, Xu Jiao put a cup of hot fresh tea in front of her.
Xu Jiao took a leisurely sip of tea, and said after pondering: "Dad, can you release the news of my return now?" ”
Xu Wenyang shook his head: "No, Jiang Yunfei is very good at kung fu, if he knows that you are here, maybe he will come to rob you again, wouldn't it be troublesome." ”
Xu Jiao thought about it, and finally decided to tell the truth: "Actually, Jiang Yunfei is very good to me, we have known each other since we were children, and I was invited by him to go up the mountain this time." ”
Xu Wenyang was surprised: "How can you know each other?" ”
Xu Jiao said everything she knew, and finally said: "Speaking of which, he is still quite pitiful, let's not toss him." Also, those on the mountain are not all evil men and reckless men, and those from Jiang Yunfei's faction still have a little conscience, Daddy, if you really meet them in the future, please leave them some leeway. ”
Xu Wenyang said: "A bandit is a bandit, no matter what the reason, since Jiang Sheng took him to the grass as a coward, he should think of this day, since ancient times, none of the betrayed the court have a good end!" ”
After a pause, he said: "Besides, no matter how great Jiang Yunfei's ability is, he can't protect you, think about it yourself, if the prince hadn't arrived in time before, how much grievance would you and the Huang family girl have to suffer in this matter of Zuo Biao?" ”
Xu Jiao felt that this matter didn't seem to make sense to Xu Wenyang, so she decided to find another opportunity to let Zhao Yin be accommodating, so she changed the topic and said, "Can Dad tell me about the matter between you and the prince?" ”
Xu Wenyang picked up a book and escaped: "I don't have time now, I'll tell you slowly when I'm free, and practice your handwriting well." ”
Xu Jiao was left aside.
After a while, Dong'er whispered, "Master, Miss is asleep." ”
Xu Wenyang looked up and saw that Xu Jiao was holding a brush in her right hand, the tip of the pen was pressed by the left side of her face, and she was sleeping darkly! Suddenly feeling funny, he copied his cloak on the back of the chair, stepped forward to cover Xu Jiao, and turned around and instructed Dong'er: "Take good care of your young lady, I will go out and come back in the evening, don't let the young lady go out." ”
Dong'er nodded.
Dong'er, who had nothing to do, waited for Xu Wenyang to leave, then tied the door and slept on a small bench against the door.
Xu Jiao, who was sleeping with her arms on her pillow, woke up quickly, and saw that Xu Wenyang was missing from the room, but when she looked up, she saw that Dong'er was asleep and didn't forget to open the door, and suddenly understood that his father slipped away while she was asleep!
Xu Jiao sighed in her heart: Sure enough, it is the daughter Mo Ruo's father!
got up and put away Xu Wenyang's cloak, and after tidying up the things on the table, he woke up Dong'er: "How long has my father been gone?" ”
Dong'er looked at the leaky bell: "About an hour, I guess I'll be back soon, and the master said that he would come back for dinner." ”
Xu Jiao nodded: "Let's go, let's go to the kitchen and make something delicious for your master." ”
Dong'er rubbed her eyes, got up, moved the small bench, and took Xu Jiao to the kitchen.
Before the beginning of spring, there were too few vegetables to eat, Xu Jiao rummaged through the kitchen shelf, and finally found a few relatively fresh celery, and a handful of yellowed garlic sprouts, and finally cut a small piece of bacon hanging on the stove to smoke and roast, ready to fry two home-cooked side dishes.
When Xu Wenyang came back, the lights had already been propped up at home. He took off the antibacterial suit outside the courtyard gate and asked people to take it down and burn it.
When I entered the courtyard and opened the door, I saw two side dishes on the table, a plate of peanuts and a pot of warm wine, and I felt warm in my heart, and stepped forward to take off my robe: "I haven't eaten Jiaojiao's dishes for a long time, but I am blessed today." ”
Dong'er took the copper basin cloth that cleaned her hands and handed it over: "This dish is all made by Miss, and we haven't touched our hands." ”
Xu Jiao poured wine and said, "Didn't you burn the fire?" ”
Xu Wenyang wiped his hands dry and stepped forward to sit: "Sure enough, it is much more delicate than what the guy made, and it is difficult to be delicate." ”
Xu Jiao remembered the five big and three rough guys she saw before, and the messy kitchen, and her heart was sour: "Why didn't Dad hire a serious cook?" It's good to find a cook, what does the kitchen do? ”
