Chapter 55: Sister and Brother
Xu Changting, who was sleeping in a daze, only felt that someone was touching his eyelashes, and frowned unconsciously, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be, Wu Jiangnan won't wake himself up so early today, and it is even more impossible to ...... Xu Wenrou's unique one.
"Second sister!" Xu Changting opened his eyes in an instant, and the family he missed every day was lying in front of him, but it was not the second sister Xu Wenrou, but the eldest sister Xu Changhong.
"What? It's all your second sister in your sleep? Aren't you afraid of breaking your eldest sister's heart? Xu Changhong gently poked Xu Changting's forehead and pretended to be angry.
"Big sister? How could it be you? Xu Changting was sleepy-eyed, and in a trance, he knew that he thought he had returned to his home in Danfeng City, and shook his head and looked at the familiar environment on both sides: "Eldest sister, why did you come to Banlong Village, it's still so early?" ”
"Is it early? The sun is almost scorching your ass. He patted Xu Changting on the forehead again, and then got up and walked outside: "Get up quickly, wash your face and eat, and then take the eldest sister around this Banlong Village to see how your academy and wine shop are built?" ”
"Sister, you haven't told me why you're here?" Xu Changting sat up from the kang and looked at the tall back of the eldest sister walking out.
"The eldest sister misses you, can I come and see if you are okay?" Xu Changhong smiled back, then pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
Outside the door, Wu Jiangnan had already gotten up early, but he had just finished his own work, and before he could tell Xu Changting to get up, the sound of a carriage suddenly sounded outside, and then he heard Huo Nuer's voice calling his eldest sister.
didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly put down the copper basin in his hand and walked outside to meet Xu Changhong.
At this time, watching Xu Changhong come out of Xu Changting's room, Wu Jiangnan seemed a little restrained, this feeling was ...... Wu Jiangnan didn't like it very much, but there was no way.
How to say it, I don't know why, she is a little afraid of Xu Changting's two sisters, and even feels that after the relationship between Xu Changting and Miss is known by his two sisters, it seems that the eyes of his two sisters always have a sense of scrutiny when they look at themselves, as if they are Miss.
And it is precisely because of this psychology, as well as for the sake of the young lady and the fear of embarrassing the young lady, that Wu Jiangnan can be said to be extremely well-behaved and sensible in front of Xu Changhong and Xu Wenrou, not at all like following Xu Changting, there is no distinction between master and servant, and he can make a lot of noise regardless of the occasion, and no one will obey anyone.
After a while, Wu Jiangnan walked in with a copper basin full of clear water, and at this time, Xu Changting also put on his clothes, looked at Wu Jiangnan who came in with water, and asked in a low voice, "Why is my eldest sister here?" Any idea why? ”
Wu Jiangnan pouted, turned his head to look behind him, handed the handkerchief to Xu Changting, and said, "I don't know, I came early in the morning." ”
"Alone?" Xu Changting asked while wiping his face.
Wu Jiangnan, who was cleaning up behind him, turned his head and said, "Well, by the way, the eldest lady came with a maid, is she He Chengtian's daughter?" ”
"yes." Xu Changting nodded and said.
Immediately left Wu Jiangnan to clean up in his room, and he had already walked out of the room, and the eldest sister Xu Changhong was sitting on the stool under the mulberry tree, looking at him with a smile.
He Ye'er is naturally very familiar with her humble kitchen, and at this time, she is helping Xu Changhong in the kitchen to work for Xu Changting, and next to her is his father He Chengtian, who is happy when he sees her back.
He Ye'er didn't have to be too busy with anything, some of the food to be prepared was prepared by Miss last night, and they were all some of the food that the son usually liked, so as long as it was hot.
So He Ye'er also has time to talk with her father, who she hasn't seen for a long time, while busy working in the kitchen.
Most of them were asked by He Chengtian, and He Yeer answered.
For example, how does the Xu family treat you, the eldest lady is very good, etc., or just standing aside, happily looking at her daughter, who has become fairer and more delicate than when she left home, and her heart is about to bloom.
He Ye'er also has questions to answer, such as how Xu Changhong treats her on weekdays, and the second lady also treats her very well, and will follow them to visit Danfeng City, go to Nanshi and so on.
In addition to some of Xu Changting's usual favorite food, some clothes and other supplies, Xu Changhong also brought a lot of trivial items to Xu Changting, if you count the people in the house who brought them over on weekdays, and the ones that Huo Nuer brought over when she went back last time, I am afraid that when Xu Changting returns to Danfeng City, a carriage will no longer be able to fit it.
While eating, Xu Changhong sat on the side and watched Xu Changting gobble up alone.
Wang Yanzhang, the husband of the king who unloaded the car, found a random place to sit down after coming in, and said some words to Xu Changting from time to time that Xu Changhong did not understand, secretly communicating with him and Xie Jingyao about the power in the outer city of Danfeng City.
Xu Changhong didn't care about this, and when she was in Xining, she knew that Xu Changting had a good relationship with Wang Yanzhang, and no matter what time it was, she only had this baby brother in her eyes.
Therefore, as long as Xu Changting in front of her is healthy and safe, she is more satisfied than anything else.
He handed his Jinpa to Xu Changting to wipe his mouth without feeling distressed, and then asked Xu Changting to take her to see the wine shop and the academy.
Huo Nuer and Wang Yanzhang didn't keep up, that was because Xu Changting made a look, and after a while, the two had to sum up together, and now they are in Danfeng City, and they finally met a real master, and they are under Chen Ping.
He Ye'er wanted to do her duty as a maid and follow Xu Changhong and Xu Changting's sister and brother together, but Xu Changhong also left her at home empathetic and asked her to talk to He Chengtian more.
The two sisters and brothers walked in Banlong Village, where the sun had just risen, filled with a faint humidity all night, under the oblique illumination of the sun, the whole village seemed to be a little foggy, and some early morning birdsong sounded overhead from time to time, the faint fragrance of the earth, the murmuring of the stream, and everything they saw in front of them was like a quiet splashed ink landscape painting.
"Big sister...... Is there something wrong with you? Xu Changting stood in front of the Zhenshan stone that had not yet been inscribed, and just told Xu Changhong how he mobilized all the farmers to move this huge stone from the mountain a few days ago.
The pale yellow dress, tall and graceful figure, and the fair and delicate beautiful face made Xu Changhong, who was standing on the misty barren land at this time, like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world.
"Is this the mountain gate of your academy?" Xu Changhong stretched out his slender fingers and gently stroked the huge and slightly cool stone and asked.
"Well, there will be a mountain gate here in the future, this boulder is behind the mountain gate, and then there is the academy inside, and the houses are lined up and rowed together, and when the time comes, a small courtyard will be left for the eldest sister and the second sister...... I've figured it out, do you see that little bit higher? The top is very smooth, build a few houses for you and the second sister, if you are tired of staying in Danfeng City, you can come here to relax and relax, and then I will lead this stream to a tributary, flowing from the front of your and the second sister's courtyard, you can also raise some flowers and plants, geese, chickens, etc. Xu Changting faced the rising sun, and his pale face, which was originally sickly, looked full of happiness and yearning at this moment.
Xu Changhong watched Xu Changting quietly and told her, what to do here, what to build there, and after a while, the corners of her eyes became a little moist.
"Big sister......." Xu Changting turned his head, and there was a faint gold on his cheeks.
"The eldest sister likes it very much, remember to raise a dog for the eldest sister when the time comes, but you can't let your second sister bully it." Xu Changsiphon sniffed and said happily.
Xu Changting nodded, mumbled, his expression gradually became a little serious, and asked, "Eldest sister, what is the matter, why did you come back to Banlong Village?" ”
Facing Xu Changting's tireless questioning of her, Xu Changhong shook his head, pointed to the lonely houses in the distance, and asked what Xu Changting's wine shop would look like in the future.
Xu Changting saw that the eldest sister was reluctant to say, so he didn't hurry to continue to ask, so he continued to talk to Xu Changhong about his future ambitions.
Then Xu Changting was suddenly stunned, his face became even paler, and there was even a hint of fear in his expression, he opened his mouth silently, looked at Xu Changhong and asked in a trembling voice, "Eldest sister...... You...... Do you have some incurable disease? ”
Xu Changhong was directly stunned in place, staring blankly at Xu Changting, whose expression was full of fear, and then burst out laughing.
"Eldest sister, you ...... Don't scare me, I just ...... Suddenly, I felt that if you asked me to tell you about the sake brewery and the academy, it seemed like I was explaining what was going on, as if you wouldn't be able to see it in the future, so you ....... Xu Changting still had a trace of nervousness and fear in his expression, and his speech was intermittent.
And Xu Changhong looked at Xu Changting's nervous appearance, instantly smiled and bent down holding his stomach, and then when he raised his head, there were two lines of tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Fool, the eldest sister has nothing to do, just happy for you. When your second sister hears you say this, she will be as happy for you as I am. Xu Changhong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, walked up to Xu Changting, stood on tiptoe slightly and patted Xu Changting's forehead: "Fool, don't worry, the eldest sister is really not sick, I just miss you." ”
"Scared the hell out of me......." Xu Changting breathed a long sigh of relief, patted his chest in fear, just now, he even had a feeling that the whole person seemed to be about to collapse and unstable, he was really afraid that the eldest sister would have an accident.
"Sister, if you come a few days late, the peach blossoms I brewed are almost there, it's just a matter of these few days, if you come a few days late, you can bring a jar back to my father to taste." Xu Changting took Xu Changhong and continued to walk up the stream.
Xu Changhong followed behind, looking at Xu Changting, who had not seen him for many days, seemed to have grown taller again, and his whole person had become much stronger, and suddenly said: "Weiyang, if the eldest sister marries, are you willing?" ”
"Marry?" Xu Changting turned around and looked at Xu Changhong with a calm expression with some doubts, and somewhat understood why Xu Changhong came to find him today.
