Chapter 31: The Visit

It was already late at night when they returned home from Qingyun Building, and the two sisters Xu Changhong and Xu Wenrou had not slept until they saw Xu Changting, and the two sisters breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Xu Changting if Gao Liang and others had embarrassed him since they left.

Xu Changting truthfully said that after they left, the painting boat stayed on the shore for a short time before sailing to the center of the lake, and then he went to Yongning Temple, and he didn't know what happened to him.

After hearing Xu Changting's words, the two sisters breathed a sigh of relief, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief after worrying for most of the day.

After talking to the eldest sister and the second sister, Xu Changting, who was going to wash, was called to the study by Xu Zhongli.

In the study, in addition to his father Xu Zhongli, his mother Chu Ying was also there, after the two saw Xu Changting, Chu Ying's eyes were with a faint worry, and Xu Zhongli was much more calm and stable.

What happened in Tianwang Lake today and their husband and wife already knew about it, if it wasn't for Xu Zhongli to stop them, I'm afraid Chu Ying would have rushed to Tianwang Lake to pick up Xu Changting immediately.

The three of them in the study didn't say much, but Xu Zhongli asked a few words briefly, Chu Ying pulled Xu Changting to look left and right, and after seeing that people were fine, he was relieved, but he still said a few words about Xu Changting with half-truths, recklessness, too impulsiveness and so on.

Xu Zhongli was smiling and silent, different from Chu Ying's concern and blame, Xu Zhongli gave a lot of appreciation to Xu Changting's behavior today, and finally even sighed with some relief: "Xu Jiaerlang has finally grown up and will know how to protect his sister, I hope that no matter what happens in the future, Xu Changting will be able to protect the eldest sister and second sister like his eldest sister and second sister did back then." ”

Chu Ying went back to the room to rest first, and the father and son came out of the study to the courtyard where the moon stars were scarce, and Xu Changting asked some of his worries, such as whether it would affect his father's affairs in the court.

Xu Zhongli shook his head with a smile to reassure Xu Changting, and then pointed to the starry night sky above his head: Even if the sky falls, Dad will support it for you.

Xu Changting nodded silently, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, no matter what, he would speed up his actions next, and strive to reduce the pressure on his father in the court.

Then he asked some things about the relationship between him and Lu Rui, a few days ago when he met Lu Rui in Banlong Village, Xu Changting had already told Xu Zhongli after he came back, and Xu Zhongli also praised Xu Changting for doing a good job, being reasonable and modest.

In the end, when Xu Zhongli sent Xu Changting to the backyard, he stopped and said to Xu Changting: "What do you want to do in Banlong Village, Dad can not care, but you must not hurt the heavens and oppress the villagers." As for Lu Rui's side, the relationship between his father and him is just some old things, although he has not yet turned into a jade silk, it does not affect his father to be an official in the same dynasty as him. ”

Xu Zhongli's last words were quite profound, a little bit of the kind of meaning that can only be understood but not spoken.

Xu Changting nodded as if he didn't understand, and after saying that his father would rest early, he walked to his room.

kicked Huo Nuer, who was like a dead dog in the corner: "Let's live in the firewood room in the back garden for a few days, Lao Xie will stay in the front yard, and after a few days, when Wang Yanzhang arrives, you will go to the front yard to live with the mallet." ”

"What about Lao Xie?" Hornuer asked, getting up.

"Old Xie ......." Looking up at the starry sky, Xu Changting sighed and said, "Xie Jingyao and Wang Yanzhang will arrange for them to cross the courtyard in the east and west in the future, so that this house can be considered stable." Hornuer nodded, and then walked silently in the direction of the firewood room in the back garden.

Xu Changting didn't say anything about the backyard, but Huo Nuer knew very well that in the future, Wang and Xie would definitely guard the east and west courtyards at home, and he and Xu Changting would guard the front and back yards.

In the early morning of the second day, Xu Changting was woken up again by the familiar way of getting up, and the sleepy-eyed Xu Changting grabbed the hand that was gently scratched on his face, and muttered: "Second sister, let me sleep for another half an hour, I was called to the study by my father last night and reprimanded for an hour, and when I came back, I thought about ......it again." ”

"What were you doing in Banlong Village a few days ago? Why is someone looking for you today? Xu Wenrou was still through the quilt, and the whole person was almost lying on Xu Changting's body, breaking free from the hand that was grabbed by Xu Changting, and at this moment he was tirelessly moving Xu Changting's long eyelashes.

"Banlong Village? Who is it? Xu Changting pulled Xu Wen's hand aside, slowly opened his eyes and asked.

"It's called He Chengtian, it's in the front yard." Xu Wenrou said with a smile on her face.

"He Chengtian, oh, then you get up, I'm going to get up." Xu Changting instantly became much more energetic.

Xu Wenrou didn't continue to mess with Xu Changting today, and after getting up, he walked outside, motioned for Liang Cai'er to fetch water to come in, and then sat on the chair next to him, and continued to talk to Xu Changting in the middle.

From time to time, I will mention yesterday's events, and I will ask Xu Changting curiously, whether Gao Liang will retaliate against them in the future.

When he came back yesterday, Feng Zi was in the carriage and explained to them the identity of Gao Ke, but no one knew the identity of Gao Ke.

"Since the surname is also Gao, it must also be a relative of the seven aunts and eight aunts of the noble concubines in the palace." Xu Changting said while dressing in the inner room.

"Concubine Gao has only one younger brother, that is, Gao Kun, Marquis of Leling, Gao Liang is Gao Kun's eldest son, but Gao Liang seems to be quite afraid of Gao Ke, who can this Gao Ke be?" Xu Wenrou speculated outside.

Xu Changting stopped what he was doing, and after being stunned for a moment, he said, "Doesn't Feng Zidu know?" ”

"He doesn't know." Xu gently replied: "Weiyang, do you want to let the eldest sister test the identity of Gao Ke?" You also saw it yesterday, the way the man looked at the eldest sister...... Let's use beauty to ....... ”

"The eldest sister is definitely unwilling, besides, how do you let the eldest sister be tempted? I just know that the person's name is Gao Ke, and he is a member of the Gao family of the Marquis of Leling, so I can't let the eldest sister go to visit and investigate, and the beauty is a plan, you are careful that the eldest sister knows...... Hey? Sister, why are you here? Xu Changting came back to his senses and saw that Xu Changhong was already standing next to him, reaching out to help him tie a few buttons on his shirt.

"Your second sister said this on purpose, just to see if you would betray your eldest sister. Fortunately, Weiyang still thinks about the eldest sister in his heart, unlike some people who ....... Xu Changhong smiled, stretched his neck and said to the outside world while helping Xu Changting get dressed.

"Xu Changhong, what do you mean by that? Didn't I stand up for you yesterday? Although it is not as ...... as it is for Weiyang. Xu Wenrou said dissatisfiedly outside.

However, at this time, the two sisters and brothers in the middle had no time to pay attention to Xu Wenrou outside.

"Eldest sister, what I told you a few days ago may be believed today." Xu Changting turned around like a marionette under the pull of Xu Changhong's hands, and asked Xu Changhong to check whether there was anything wrong with his clothes.

"You mean the maid?" Xu Changhong's expression was calm, as if he didn't care much about this matter, but he still felt very happy and relieved in his heart, no matter what, at least the younger brother who had been taking care of her for many years in front of him would finally care about her.

"Well, just now the second sister said that He Chengtian came to the house, but I don't know if he brought his daughter. But don't worry, eldest sister, even if you don't bring it, I will definitely find you another smart and loyal one in the future, guaranteed to be like Aunt Liang, and willing to follow my mother for the rest of my life. Xu Changting lowered his head and said to Xu Changhong, who was sorting out his clothes.

Xu Changhong ignored it, and after checking it and seeing that there was no mistake, he reached out and patted Xu Changting's forehead: "Okay, I don't know if the girl named Li Qingyi can be worthy of our Yushu windy and graceful Weiyang." ”

Xu Wenrou in the outer room saw the stitches: "Eldest sister, two days ago, Weiyang also said that Li Qingyi is more beautiful and gentle than you." ”

"Really? How do I remember that it was you? Xu Changhong and Xu Changting walked out of the room and said with a smile.

Liang Caier was already waiting with wet wipes in her hand, and after Xu Changting finished washing, she no longer paid attention to the eldest sister and the second sister who were still arguing because of Li Qingyi, because she really couldn't listen to it anymore.

At first, it was Li Qingyi, and then gradually became Tsing Yi, when he left, Li Qingyi's identity had become a brother-in-law in Xu Changhong and Xu Wenrou's mouth, and even faintly heard that the two sisters had begun to argue whether he and Li Qingyi's first child was better as a boy or a girl.

"...... kid." When he walked into the front yard, Xu Changting didn't expect that Li Qingyi in his mind would suddenly become a child.

Quickly got rid of this scary thought, and walked to the hall in the front yard, only to see Xie Jingyao, Huo Nuer, and the mallet were all there, and He Chengtian was smiling and arguing with the three of them at this time, and He Ye'er was standing next to him with a burden on his arm.

After seeing Xu Changting come in, He Chengtian immediately stood up, and He Ye'er next to him obviously became a little nervous all of a sudden, and leaned slightly towards He Chengtian's side.

He Chengtian was very honest, a rare scholar, and said to Xu Changting straightforwardly: "Ye'er doesn't have anything to clean up, just a few changes of clothes." It just so happened that there was nothing going on in the village today, so I thought about sending Ye'er to you. ”

"Ye'er has seen Xu Gongzi." He Ye'er didn't need to be reminded by her father He Chengtian, so she held the small burden on her arm and saluted Xu Changting.

Xu Changting motioned for He Chengtian to sit down and speak, then looked at He Ye'er, who was a little nervous on the side, and said with a smile: "Ye'er doesn't have to be nervous, my eldest sister is very good, you will know after you see it in a while." And I also told my eldest sister a few days ago that she won't really treat you as a little girl, and will treat you like a sister. Especially...... He Ye'er, guess who I saw? She's said a lot of good things about you, and she doesn't know what I'm trying to do. ”

He Ye'er raised her head, a trace of dazedness passed over her fair and immature face, and she didn't know who Xu Changting was talking about.

Looking at shaking his head slightly, spitting out his mouth without knowing He Ye'er, and facing He Chengtian's equally puzzled look, Xu Changting said with a smile: "I met Liu Ya'er yesterday, and Liu Ya'er told me a lot about her and her eldest brother and you. Especially why He Ye'er can't win Liu Ya'er every time she quarrels. When he said this, he could vaguely see a trace of embarrassment and embarrassment flashing on He Ye'er's face, but with these words, He Ye'er gradually became less nervous, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became lively.

After all, it was a little girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and suddenly she had to change to a completely unfamiliar living environment, and she was still doing the work of serving people, and no one could be very relaxed at the first time.

Fortunately, Xu Changting set a lot of preferences and interesting facts about He Ye'er from Liu Ya'er yesterday, and after a few conversations, He Ye'er's expression was no longer as nervous as when he first came, and even He Chengtian's face was much more relaxed than at the beginning.
