Chapter 125 Childhood sweethearts

Lan Yi heard the Zheng family talk about the Great Zhou Dynasty's arrest of the fast is actually a lowly nationality, and she can't react a little.

Isn't arresting fast the same as a modern policeman, how can this be a cheap person? If that's the case, why do so many people still want to be fast? However, she doesn't care very much about whether Zhou Weiji is cheap or not, she can't participate in the imperial examination, Li Bai's family is a merchant, and she can't participate in the imperial examination, and she is still famous all over the world. Besides, the place of origin is all artificially operated, and if you don't like to change it in the future, Lan Yi thought with contempt.

The daughter and Zhou Weiji are considered to be privately determined for life, without going through the formal three books and six rites and the orders of their parents, such behavior is against etiquette and great rebellion.

However, when Zheng saw her contemplative appearance, he couldn't bear to blame her, so he only said softly: "Silly girl, you have lost your memory, and you don't know many things. Fortunately, you don't have three books and six rites, you can't count them, except for your mother, you can't tell anyone else about this matter, you know? Go back and ask your father to give Zhou Bantou a gift and make up some silver for him. ”

Lan Yi thought of Zhou Weiji's deep eyes, and it was not difficult to imagine the look on his face when he knew that he would not marry him, if he insisted, he would not force it. However, she was reluctant to let him be sad.

"Mother, not to mention Brother Tuesday's life-saving grace to his daughter, his character alone is also worthy of his daughter marrying him. Mother, even if you find me a family, this one who doesn't know the bottom line may not be more suitable than him. Following him, at least his daughter and Yu'er will not be wronged. As for the matter of untouchables, there must be a way to solve it. Isn't this a slave girl? ”

Seeing that his daughter was so firm, Zheng nodded her forehead a little anxiously: "You girl!" Mother originally fell in love with our second boy next door, you two have played well since childhood, and his father and mother also like you very much, isn't this knowing? How old are you, how can you see what 'character' is? Peach, listen to your mother, the woman is afraid of marrying the wrong man, this is a lifelong thing, Zhou Bantou looks good, but the mother looks at him with a lot of temper, and his temperament is also stubborn, and he is afraid that you will suffer in the future. ”

Lan Yi was a little embarrassed when she heard "the neighbor's second boy said a few words", this Chun Tao really has a childhood sweetheart?

Zheng has a good view, Zhou Weiji is indeed stubborn, and his temper is not small, Lan Yi is secretly glad that she didn't tell Zheng about killing the tiger with his fist, otherwise she would have disagreed.

Since you can't say it directly, let's use the elimination method, Lan Yi pretended to be embarrassed and asked: "Mother, I am now with a child and a widow, do you think they can still tolerate me?" ”

Da Zhou attaches great importance to the reputation of women, although he is not really married, but the fact that he has been missing for two years and brought a child back is obvious, and he can't hide it. Lan Yi didn't believe that the uncle and aunt next door to her house and the "second boy" didn't weigh it seriously.

Zheng also had some drumming in his heart: "How can you know if you don't try this." Besides, Yu'er is a good boy, it's really not good to be so likable, my mother will help you take him. Your Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng are not easy to say, but Shaoyan This child will definitely not dislike you for this, how many words have you asked around about your whereabouts this year, and she has not helped her mother, this child is sincere, and he is a person who knows cold and hot. ”

Lan Yi was thinking about saying something, and Mrs. Zhou shouted softly outside the door: "Chengde's family, Tao'er, Young Master Wenxuan is up, the old lady asked me to call you over." ”

Zheng hurriedly responded, got up from the couch neatly, and pulled Lan Yi out of the house.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Lan Yi's outfit and said with a smile: "This is right, Chengde's family, Tao'er is back, you should rest assured." ”

Zheng smiled sincerely, pulled Lan Yi forward and said, "Tao'er, this is Mother Zhou." ”

Lan Yi saluted, and Mrs. Zhou hurriedly pulled her up: "Let's not do this." Tao'er, just now I went to see Mrs. Mi County, and she said bluntly that you have to be free to take Young Master Wenxuan and Yu'er over to play. ”

This Mrs. Mi is notoriously difficult to get along with in Meixian, but she didn't expect Chun Tao to be able to enter her eyes, and Mrs. Zhou was very curious about this.

Lan Yi nodded, and walked into the main room with Mrs. Zhou and the Zheng family.

Wen Xuan and Yu'er had both woken up, Old Madam Zhou was playing with Wen Xuan with a rattle, Yu'er saw Lan Yi coming in, stretched out her little arm and shouted, "Mother." ”

The baby also saw his mother, and happily raised the rattle in his hand to Lan Yi.

Lan Yi saluted Mrs. Zhou, stepped forward to touch the heads of the two children, and found that their body temperature was normal, so she asked, "Do you want to release water?" ”

Yu'er nodded, Lan Yi put shoes on him, and the daughter-in-law next to him, Jia Shi, said, "I'll go and get the toilet." ”

Lan Yi smiled and thanked, "I'm sorry to trouble Aunt Yao." ”

Jia Shi was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and turned around and went out.

After the two children were convenient, Lan Yi fed them warm water again, and then let them sit next to the old lady and talk to her.

Yu'er felt everyone's attention to her brother and neglected him, so she pulled Lan Yi's clothes and leaned beside her and refused to leave. Lan Yi knew what he was thinking, and also took his hand and talked to him.

Yu'er looked at her mother's new clothes, and said with bright eyes: "Mother's new clothes are so beautiful." ”

Lan Yi smiled and said, "Grandma made it for my mother, and I will let my grandmother make one for Yu'er in two days, grandma is much better than my mother's mother." ”

Yu'er turned his head to see Zheng Shi looking at him with a smile and nodding, and he thanked sweetly: "Thank you, grandma." ”

Wen Xuan saw that his mother only said that he would let his grandmother make clothes for his brother, put down the two strands, climbed to Lan Yi's side, hugged her neck and said coquettishly: "The baby also wants it, grandma's clothes." ”

Zheng hurriedly saluted: "This can't be helped, how can the young master call the slave grandma, it is the honor of the slave to make clothes for the young master." ”

Wen Xuan was stunned for a moment, and with some grievances, he put his little head on Lan Yi's neck, thinking that the Zheng family didn't like him to call her grandma.

Seeing Wen Xuan like this, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly hugged him over and said, "Wen Xuan is good, what clothes do you want grandma to buy for you, okay?" We buy what we like. ”

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly took the snack box next to her and said with a smile: "Old lady, the young master should be hungry when he just woke up, can you see what he wants to eat?" This is a cake made by the Zhang family's dim sum shop, and it is still hot, and the old slave has just bought it from outside. Come, Yu'er, you can eat a piece too. ”

When Lan Yi heard the word "cake", she looked up at the dim sum box in Mrs. Zhou's hand, and found that there were six small pieces of cake inside, and she knew that this was the cake recipe she taught Zhang Pingyu at that time, but in the past two years, Zhang Pingyu has also improved the cake, and the fragrance and shape are much more exquisite.

Old Madam Zhou handed the cake to Wen Xuan and Yu'er, and the two children looked at Lan Yi's expression first, and then took it when they saw her nodding: "Thank you, grandma." ”

The two children took the cake and handed it to Lan Yi's lips and said, "Mother, eat it." ”

Lan Yi shook her head, and Wen Xuan handed the cake to Old Madam Zhou again: "Grandma eats." ”

Old Madam Zhou suddenly smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth: "Good grandson, grandma doesn't eat it, Wenxuan eats it, it's delicious grandma and will buy it for you." ”

Yu'er also handed the cake to Zheng: "Grandma eats it too." ”

Zheng hurriedly waved his hand, and when Mrs. Zhou saw her restrained appearance, she said with a smile: "Chengde's family, you can also sit down and play with the children for a while." ”

Zheng nodded and sat next to the couch.

Mrs. Zhou's attitude is very modest, but after all, the Zheng family is a subordinate, and it is inevitable that she can't let go in front of her master, Lan Yi feels uncomfortable when she sees her like this, the concept of respect and inferiority in this era is too deep-rooted, and she is helpless.

Although the two children did not eat the cake made by Lan Yi at home, the cake made by this Zhang family tasted more delicate, and Yu'er and Wenxuan ate two pieces each before stopping.

Old Madam Zhou wiped the corners of Wen Xuan's mouth, and asked with a smile: "Good grandson, tell Grandma SΓΉ, what do you like to play?" ”

Lan Yi twitched the corners of her mouth, she didn't have to think about it to know what this kid liked, and sure enough, Wen Xuan shouted happily, "Pick up eggs and ride a big horse." ”

Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment, and Lan Yi explained with a smile: "We raised some chickens, ducks and geese at home in Beigou Village, and the two children helped pick up the eggs on weekdays, and let them keep the money for themselves. ”

Wen Xuan patted his small satchel and continued: "The baby has money, buy delicious food." ”

Mrs. Zhou saw the two or three copper coins that the baby took out, and she showed a distressed look on her face. The baby is the concubine of the royal family, although the Wang family is not called extremely rich, but how can she not feel uncomfortable to let her own grandson live such a hard life.

Seeing her expression, Lan Yi explained: "Old lady, there is no shortage of children to eat and drink at home. I am trying to train them to have the concept of saving since they were young, and to let them know that money is not easy to come by, and they must learn to cherish it. ”

Old Madam Zhou nodded slowly: "Chun Tao, you did the right thing, the child should be taught well." Good grandson, tell grandma what else you do besides picking eggs and riding a big horse? ”

Wen Xuan climbed to his brother's side and said, "Brother said." ”

Yu'er was much more sensible than him, and patted his little shoulder like Lan Yi and said, "My brother said it himself." ”

Wen Xuan counted his little fingers and said one by one: "Baa, donkey, singing, eating, bathing, playing dog holes." ”

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly praised: "The young master will get a lot." ”

"My good grandson can sing, can you sing for grandma?" Old Madam Zhou hugged him in her arms and shook him and said.

Wen Xuan happily sang and gestured: "I have a little donkey, and I never ride a pig!" You have two holes in your nose even though I'm just a sheep."

Yu'er hated that iron could not be made of steel, and said: "Brother, don't you sing like that." After speaking, Yu'er sang the three children's songs from beginning to end, and Wen Xuan also sang loudly.

Lan Yi listened to it with a weak heart, her singing was out of tune, and the two children were also singing randomly, but fortunately no one knew.

The old lady couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and asked Chun Tao where these songs came from, but Lan Yi had to say that she made them up herself.

Subsequently, Wen Xuan memorized a few more quatrains, all of which were the simplest. Although this kid still speaks a little intermittently on weekdays, he sings and recites poems very fluently, and Lan Yi also feels strange about this.

After Wenxuan's performance, Mrs. Zhou wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Old lady, our young master Wenxuan is not worse than several young masters in the family, and the old slave looks much stronger." Wenmo of the third master's family is almost three years old this year, and the nurse doesn't dare to let go of her hands, and she cries a few times at every turn; The second master's Wenting fought and ate, and I heard that he couldn't read, and he was beaten by his master. ”

The old lady nodded, "How can my good grandson be compared to them." Chun Tao, you have worked hard in the past two years, and you have brought Wenxuan so well. You only knew a few words before, but you also learned these later? ”

Lan Yi nodded, "After Chun Tao returned to Huang County with Mrs. Mi, she gave me some children's enlightenment books. I also memorized it myself first, and then handed it to the children, and some of them I didn't quite understand. Fortunately, there is righteousness in the village, and the master is very knowledgeable. Yu'er often takes the baby to him for advice, and Lei Fuzi also likes these two children very much. ”

After Lan Yi finished speaking, she couldn't help but ask: "Old lady, the second master said that he would send Wenxuan to the academy, he is not yet three years old, is this going to be sent." Yu'er is six years old this year, and she will only be able to go to study in Yixue next year, which is still a year earlier. ”

Zhou's mother replied, "Chun Tao, you don't remember." The clan built a academy, requiring the sons and daughters of the Wang family to be over three years old to enter the academy to read and write in order to understand reason. Although the academy has been loose in recent years, the sons and daughters over the age of three still have to enter the academy during the day. ”

Lan Yi nodded, "That...... Young Master Wenxuan is also going to go next year? ”

Old Madam Zhou shook her head, "If you talk about this later, it will be in vain to delay your efforts if you don't succeed with those gangs." Besides, there is no one to rely on now, and I don't feel at ease to let Wenxuan go. ”

Lan Yi nodded, Old Madam Zhou was not confused. If there are indeed not many people in this courtyard, the three who come and go are Mrs. Zhou, Zheng and Jia, according to the number of maids and wives Lan Yi saw in the courtyard of the Wang family today, these people are already very few, and it can be said that they are deserted.

At this time, Wang Chengde came back and came to see Mrs. Zhou. R1152
