Chapter 16 There is a maid named Ah Xiu in the family
Wangyuan.
After the old man heard the butler who came to tell him the whole story, he was furious, slapped it down, and the table in front of him fell to the ground with a bang, turning into ash in response, and the sturdy ebony table couldn't withstand the old man's palm. I only heard the old man scolding angrily: "Bastard things, the family is unfortunate, it is unreasonable!"
"The head of the family is angry!" Steward Wu hurriedly comforted.
"Butler, go and order Ruwu to bring his rebel son, and I'll see who gives him a bear's heart and a leopard dares to do this. β
"Yes, master!" said the butler, who was about to take his leave, and went to ask for someone.
I only heard a voice at the door reply: "No need to go, I have come with a rebel, and my father will punish me!" The person who came was Su Ruwu, and Su Li, who couldn't walk, was carrying behind him, and it seemed that these twenty sticks were uncomfortable.
Entering the inner hall, Su Ruwu looked at the table that was smashed and scattered all over the ground by the old man, and was also shocked in his heart, although he knew that it would make the old man angry, but he didn't expect this matter to be so serious. Seeing Su Ruwu coming in, the old man scolded angrily: "You gave birth to a good son, you dare to commit murder at home, are you lawless!"
Su Ruwu knelt on the ground: "It's all my fault that my godson has no way, Li'er is young and vigorous, and the young man is strong, and he can't stand the anger, and he almost made a big mistake. Looking at the angry old man, Su Ruwu said.
"Bring that rebel in for me!" Su Ruwu said to the door
"Yes. The attendants carried Su Li in, but they saw that Su Li who was lying on the shelf couldn't move.
Su Li, who was carried in, saw his father kneeling on the ground and his angry grandfather, Su Li immediately cried and said to Old Man Su: "Grandpa, my grandson knows that I am wrong, I beg my grandfather to spare me, I don't dare anymore, this matter has nothing to do with my father, I beg grandpa not to blame my father, and my grandson is at the disposal of grandpa." β
Hearing Su Li say this, the old man's face softened a little, but his anger did not subside, and then scolded Su Li: "You are really bold, you dare to want to kill someone, or your own brother, if your father didn't stop it in time, it would have been a big mistake, I'm afraid that I will end you with my own hands then, don't say that you are my grandson, I won't dare to kill you." "It's all over the place.
Looking at Su Ruwu, who was kneeling on the ground and bowing his head and didn't dare to speak, and Su Li, who was lying on the wooden frame and couldn't move with a frightened face, the old man thought of something, and he didn't get angry, and said: "There is no responsibility for the father for the father, and there is no self-knowledge for the son, you are really a good father and son, hum, the family is unfortunate!"
Kneeling on the ground and listening to the old man's scolding, he remembered something, his face turned blue, and then he heard the old man speak again.
"Get up, take you back, for the sake of his filial piety, you have also punished him, I will not move the family law, but I can't easily cheapen him, go back and copy the house rules for me ten thousand times, and show me when I write them." If it ever happens again, I'll kill him myself. The old man said sharply to Su Ruwu.
"It's Dad, I'll discipline you when you go back. After speaking, he got up and led everyone back, Su Ruwu thought about today's events, and became more and more embarrassed, looking at Su Li who was carried by a group of attendants, and he was angry.
A few people left the garden, and the old man scolded: "Don't Xiao descendants!"
Dongyuan Qingsi Pavilion, Wang Lianqing, who came back, sat in front of the bookcase, holding a cup of tea that Ah Xiu had just brewed, tasting it slowly, and his eyes were in a trance and he didn't know what to think.
Looking at the green-clothed girl in front of the desk with her sleeves and her head bowed, Wang Lianqing felt as if she was very comfortable, at least she wouldn't be so lonely, and her delicate appearance with her frowning eyebrows seemed to be a little sweet. The girl raised her hand to pull up a few strands of hair and pinned them behind her ears, and grinded them seriously, showing her beauty.
Suddenly, listening to the sound of tea around her, the girl raised her head and looked at her, only to see the young master in brocade looking at herself blankly, the girl's face was slightly red and shy, and she was a little flustered, and she no longer dared to look up.
Wang Lianqing had never had such a strange feeling, looked at the girl with a shy face, came back to his senses, and hurriedly explained: "Ah Xiu, just now I just thought that you looked good just now, so I was confused, Meng Lang, don't mind." β
Hearing what Wang Lianqing said, Ah Xiu felt a sense of beauty in his heart, and felt that this young master was so unscrupulous to follow the girl to say such straightforward words, and was very ashamed, feeling that the young master was not one of those people who deceived people with rhetoric, so he settled down and didn't dare to raise his head and replied: "The young master is serious." β
"Well, just don't mind. Wang Lianqing took a sip of the teacup and asked, "Ah Xiu, how long have you been in Su Mansion?"
"There are still more than a month, five years, and at the age of nine, he joined the Su family as a servant. Ah Xiu whispered.
"Why?" Wang Lianqing looked at him.
Ah Xiu suddenly raised his head and asked puzzledly, "What does the young master mean?"
Wang Lianqing didn't speak, and nodded at her.
Ah Xiu lowered his head and studied the ink again, and said helplessly after a while: "Because of poverty, the family can't survive." β
Wang Lianqing was silent, thought for a while, and said, "Can you tell me about your family?"
Ah Xiu felt that the young master was so strange, how could he care about the family affairs of a subordinate, maybe he wanted to use it as a boring word A Xiu thought to himself, since he wanted to hear it, then say it, anyway, it's not a beautiful thing.
Ah Xiu said slowly, and after a while, Wang Lian cleared up, it turned out that Ah Xiu was also a poor person.
Ah Xiu was supposed to be a young lady of the long house of the tenant household, but her grandfather favored her second uncle, and when her grandfather went west to leave, he gave the family property to the two brothers, that is, Ah Xiu's father and her second uncle, who gave the second uncle more than ten acres of land, and only gave her father nearly eight points of land, and the second uncle's family also treated their family like enemies, Ah Xiu also had a young child, his parents were alive, and a family of four could not count on Bafentian to survive, so he could only sell Ah Xiu into Su Mansion to reduce the burden of the family, Ah Xiu hated his grandfather and the second uncle's family, speaking of this, Ah Xiu choked up, and after a while, he calmed down and regained his composureγ
Wang Lianqing said apologetically: "I'm sorry to mention your sadness." β
"Young master, it's okay, it's long gone. β
"Although your plight is worthy of sympathy, at least you have your parents and brothers, and your hateful relatives, I am much more pitiful than you, I don't even know who they are, whether they live or die. My grandfather, who adopted me and grew up, was also killed by gangsters two months ago, and I am so pitiful and envious of you. β
Wang Lianqing said expressionlessly, just like saying something that can't be ordinary anymore.
Ah Xiu's heart trembled slightly when he heard this, it turned out that Young Master Qing was also a hard-working person, he stopped studying ink, looked at Wang Lianqing and said, "Young ~ Master", he screamed but didn't know how to continue.
Wang Lianqing also understood, it was too sad, and when he heard Ah Xiu's call, he said: "It's just touching the scene and remembering it, it's okay, is the ink grinding ready?"
"Alright, young master. Ah Xiu said.
The four treasures of the study room in the room are readily available, Wang Lianqing took the white paper on the case, flattened it and pressed it with a waking wood, took the hanging sheep's hair pen and wrote on the paper:
Liujiang Dubeike,
Duckweed swims in other directions.
The sound of silkworms is not as good as the old,
I didn't smell the fragrance of osmanthus.
After writing and mentioning his name, he put down his pen, looked at it, shook his head again, sat back in his chair, and continued to drink his teacup.
Ah Xiu behind him looked at the slender pen on the paper, the handwriting of the pen walking Youlong, and only felt that the words written by the young master were really beautiful, but what was written, she couldn't read it well if she hadn't read much, she looked at the young master who was seated, and asked, "Young master, do you want to frame it?"
Wang Lianqing put down the teacup in his hand, looked at her and said, "No, throw it away later." β
Hearing Wang Lianqing's words, Ah Xiu showed a surprised expression, how can you say that this well-written word can be thrown away, it is really strange, she is not easy to disobey, and responded: "Yes." β
"Ah Xiu, where can I get osmanthus saplings? I want to plant two in the yard. Wang Lianqing said.
"Young master, some big families will plant in their yards, and generally there will be flower farmers in the morning market to sell, so I'll go and take a look tomorrow morning and buy it. β
"Good. After speaking, he got up and walked to the bed, picked up a generation of silver from the bed and handed it to Ah Xiu and said, "Come, take it." β
Ah Xiu took the bag in Wang Lianqing's hand suspiciously, opened it, and saw that there were dozens of taels of silver in it, and Ah Xiu, who had never seen so much money, panicked and said, "Young master, it would be like this." β
"This is my money, you will be my account manager in the future, this money has been collected for me, I can use whatever I want, and you can pay for what I want to buy in the future, besides, girls also need to use some gouache and balm, and besides, you often help the family, how can your little salary be enough." Wang Lianqing said kindly to Ah Xiu.
"Young master, I~" Hearing Wang Lianqing's words, Ah Xiu's heart warmed, and tears burst out of his eyes, Wang Lianqing looked at Ah Xiu with hazy tears in his eyes, and said busily: "Why are you crying again, you promised me before." I'm about to wipe away my tears, it's not beautiful again. β
Hearing Wang Lianqing's words, Ah Xiu burst into tears, turned around and wiped away his tears, turned his head shyly and smiled at Wang Lianqing: "Yes, young master." β
"That's right, it's still my beautiful family. Wang Lianqing joked to Ah Xiu.
Listening to Wang Lianqing's words, Ah Xiu was so shy that her cheeks were red, like a peach with water, beautiful and delicious, and extremely cute.
Ah Xiu felt really strange in his heart, he had unconsciously cried for this young master twice today, once because he was worried about him, and this time he was moved to tears, he was really a tossing master, he had never cried when he made a mistake and was scolded by the deacon before, and he didn't know what was wrong with him.
Thinking that this young master was really different from other young masters, thinking that the young master had said that he belonged to his family just now, Ah Xiu lowered his head shyly, not daring to look directly at Wang Lianqing, afraid of discovering his thoughts.
Looking at Ah Xiu who was blushing, Wang Lianqing only felt very cute, and naturally didn't understand the little Jiujiu in Ah Xiu's heart.
"Young master, it's time for breakfast soon, I'll go and bring you the food, you later. After speaking, without waiting for Wang Lianqing to say anything, he quickly grabbed the words that Wang Lianqing had just written, and hurriedly went out and ran downstairs. β
Downstairs, Ah Xiu's voice faintly came from the garden: "I know the young master." Wang Lianqing said puzzledly: "This girl!"
