"Do you have a sister?"

Bai Yu subconsciously asked, the little girl she met on the road before, she always felt a little familiar, and then looked at Xue Hanyu, isn't it familiar, it is clearly similar to Xue Hanyu.

Xue Hanyu was stunned when Bai Yu asked him this, and then nodded: "I have a younger sister in my family, how does my sister-in-law know." ”

Seeing Xue Hanyu say this, Bai Yu hurriedly said to Xue Hanyu about the little girl he met on the road, and suddenly saw that his face changed, and he knew that it was eight or nine and ten.

"Lin Yuan, please help me and my husband take a leave, Ziyi will not come to the county seat if she has nothing to do, she will definitely die to find me. ”

Xu was in too much of a hurry, Xue Hanyu spoke a little incoherently, Ji Linyuan nodded when he saw this, and asked him to go, Bai Yu said to Ji Linyuan when he saw this, and went to find someone with Xue Hanyu.

Xue Hanyu and Ji Linyuan have a good relationship, and Bai Yu's image of him is also good, thinking about the little girl, the clothes she is wearing are thin, and she can't help but be a little anxious, this cold day, wear so little, don't freeze anything.

Thinking like this, I quickened my pace.

"Big Brother ......"

Not far from the two of them, they heard a trembling voice, and when they looked up, it was not Xue Hanyu's sister Xue Ziyi, but she was standing in the snow, looking at Xue Hanyu with tears in her eyes.

"Ziyi, how did you come here alone, is there something wrong at home?"

As soon as Xue Hanyu saw Xue Ziyi, he hurriedly ran over, looking at Xue Ziyi's body and still wearing the thin cotton clothes he wore in autumn, his sallow little face was red from the cold, and his heart ached, and he wanted to take off the clothes on his body, but he was stopped by Bai Yu.

"The purple clothes are not small, and it is not appropriate to wear your clothes. Besides, Xue Hanyu's own clothes are also thin and tight, if he takes them off, he will have to be cold.

As he spoke, he took off his cotton clothes.

Bai Yu was a southerner in his previous life, unless he went to the north to play, he basically never even saw snow in the south, but it was a rare frost resistance.

I remember that someone discussed the weather in the north and south before, saying that the cold in the north is a physical attack, and reliable equipment for defense, and the cold in the south is a magic attack, all relying on a righteous qi.

After the devastation of the wet and cold weather in the south, Bai Yu is very afraid of the cold, but it is also extremely frost-resistant.

Besides, the white jade wears a lot.

Xue Ziyi took the clothes handed to her by Bai Yu and sniffed: "Thank you, sister." ”

After speaking, Xue Ziyi looked at Xue Hanyu anxiously: "Big brother, my mother is sick, I have no way to come to you, you go back and have a look." ”

When Xue Ziyi said this, tears were about to come out, with a little choking, Xue Hanyu heard it, his heart couldn't help sinking, and he glanced at Bai Yu on the side: "Sister-in-law's clothes ......" Xue Hanyu looked at his little sister dressed so thinly, and wanted to ask Bai Yu to borrow this clothes, but he couldn't open his mouth when the words came to his mouth.

Seeing Xue Hanyu's unspeakable appearance, Bai Yu didn't know what he was going to say, so he hurriedly said: "Let the purple clothes be dressed, it's such a cold day, don't freeze anymore." ”

As soon as Bai Yu's words were said, Xue Hanyu glanced at Bai Yu gratefully: "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

After speaking, he pulled Xue Ziyi and left.

When Ji Linyuan arrived, Xue Hanyu had already been walking for a while, and when he saw that Bai Yu was not the clothes he wore before, he couldn't help frowning, and he took off the cloak that Bai Yu had draped on his body and was about to put it on Bai Yu, but he was slapped on his hand by Bai Yu: "Give me a good drape, I'm not cold." ”

Saying that, Bai Yu told Ji Linyuan the news that Xue Hanyu's mother was seriously ill, Ji Linyuan glanced at the cloak in his hand, and wanted to drape it on Bai Yu's body, but in the end, he couldn't resist Bai Yu's knife-like eyes, put the cloak on his body, and was silent.

After a long time, Ji Linyuan slowly spoke.

"Sister-in-law, I can't leave now, can my sister-in-law help me go to Hanyu's house to see. As he spoke, he took out two pieces of money from his body and handed them to Bai Yu: "By the way, help me transfer the money to him, and say that it was borrowed." ”

Their family was poor, but at that time there was still a big brother, Xue Hanyu and their family, only one mother and sister, in order to provide for him to study, he was almost poor, and now his mother is seriously ill and I am afraid that there is no extra money to see a doctor, and the little sister is looking for it, I am afraid that I want to go back to see the last face.

Bai Yu nodded when she heard this, but when she saw the money handed over by Ji Linyuan, her whole body suddenly exploded: "What do you mean by this?"

Also, where did he get so much money, and didn't he spend all the money he gave him?

Thinking like this, Bai Yu's whole person was a little bad.

When Ji Linyuan saw Bai Yu's calm face, he couldn't help but smile: "I, my sister-in-law is not easy to earn money, I spend less money in the academy, so I save here." He didn't dare to tell his sister-in-law that he had gone to copy books and sell paintings.

As soon as Bai Yu heard that he had saved, he couldn't help but glance at him: "I give you money for you to spend, whoever lets you save it, buy what you should buy, sister-in-law, I have money......"

At this moment, Bai Yu's heart was puzzled, what happened to this child now? In his cognition, children are eager to talk more, take more money, and take less money for all kinds of storytelling, why do they have to cry and beg for money when they get here.

This is a rhythm that money can't spend?

Thinking of this, Bai Yu was speechless and slapped Ji Linyuan's hand.

"Hurry back to the academy, I'll take a look, by the way, where do they live?"

"Xuejia Village, sister-in-law be careful, take a carriage. Ji Linyuan opened his mouth with some worry, and he couldn't wait to go with Bai Yu in his heart, but thinking that he had been absent from schoolwork several times, if he was asking for leave, Mr. was afraid that he would not agree again, so he had to give up.

Bai Yu saw Ji Linyuanyi's worried look, and waved his hand: "I know, you can rest assured, I will never wronged myself." ”

"You go back, I'm leaving. ”

Saying that, Bai Yu turned around and plunged into the snow, Ji Linyuan stood in place and watched Bai Yu's departing back until he disappeared into the street, and then turned around to meet the academy.

Bai Yu left the academy and went directly to the place where the carriage was rented.

Because Bai Yu was in a hurry, the coachman drove the carriage quickly.

"Alas, wait......"

Bai Yu, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly spoke, and the coachman tightened the reins when he heard this.

"Little lady, what are you going to ...... "for?"

Before the coachman could finish his words, he saw Bai Yu lift the curtain and jump out of the carriage.

"Alas, little lady, Xuejia Village hasn't arrived yet. ”

When the coachman saw Bai Yu jumping down, he hurriedly said loudly, but when he saw Bai Yu, he waved his hand: "I know, wait for me, I'll come right away." ”

As she spoke, she ran back, and she said why she didn't see Xue Hanyu and them all the way, it turned out that they were leaving in an ox cart.

While thinking about it, Bai Yu complained silently in her heart, the inertia of this carriage was too great, and she spoke out when she saw Xue Hanyu's brother and sister, and now she still opened up such a long distance.

Xue Hanyu and Xue Ziyi sat on the ox cart, neither of them spoke, thinking about their mother who was sick at home, their hearts sank to the bottom, and while thinking, they heard a voice in front of them.

The first to react was Xue Hanyu, who always felt that this voice was a little familiar, and as soon as he looked up, he saw that Bai Yuzheng was running over from the front, and hurriedly asked the man who was driving the ox cart to hurry up.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here? ”

Xue Hanyu looked at Bai Yu who trotted all the way, his face was red from the cold, he stood by the ox cart and panted, and hurriedly jumped off the ox cart, subconsciously reaching out to pat her on the back.

Seeing this, Xue Ziyi also jumped off the ox cart.

After a long time, Bai Yu came back to his senses and looked at the brother and sister: "I'll go home with you to see if there is anything you need help with." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the carriage waiting in front of him.

"I called the carriage, let's take the carriage and go, the carriage is faster. ”

When Xue Ziyi heard this, he glanced at Xue Hanyu, Xue Hanyu knew that he was afraid that Ji Linyuan asked Bai Yu to come, thinking that his mother was still lying on the bed, and the ox cart was indeed not as fast as the carriage, so he nodded without hesitation: "Then it will be troublesome sister-in-law." ”

While talking, Xue Hanyu talked to the man driving the ox cart, gave the money, and got into the carriage with Bai Yu.

As soon as the carriage driver saw Ji Linyuan's face, he knew that he was afraid that there was something urgent and drove the carriage quickly.

Finally felt Xuejia Village before dark.

When Bai Yu saw Xue Hanyu and their home, he couldn't help but be shocked, if he wanted to say that the Ji family was poor, it was just a roof leaking, but Xue Hanyu and their house could be described as the four walls of the family, the walls around them were a little leaky, and the roof was probably repaired, but it was not crushed by the heavy snow.

Rao was shocked in her heart, but she didn't show it at all, and followed Xue Hanyu's brothers and sisters into the house.

There were two rooms in the house, and the brother and sister went to the room that looked bigger, and Bai Yu didn't want them to greet them when he saw this, so he followed up.

"The rain is back. ”

As soon as he entered the door, Bai Yu heard a, a weak voice sounded in the room, Xue Hanyu and Xue Ziyi, who were walking in front, hurriedly walked over, Bai Yu followed the sound and saw a woman with a sallow face lying on the bed, no need to think that it was the mother of Xue Hanyu's brothers and sisters, Xue, I saw her, her eyes were deep-set, her lips were pale, and she looked at Xue Hanyu lovingly.

"Mother, you lie down well, I'll go to the doctor. ”

Xue Hanyu looked at his mother lying on the bed, his eyes were a little sour, he suppressed the sadness in his heart, and said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he was about to get up and go out, but he was stopped.

"Don't go. ”

When Xue saw that Xue Hanyu was going to ask for a doctor, he immediately became anxious, and wanted to get up and grab Xue Hanyu, but he struggled twice and didn't sit up, seeing this, he quickly turned his head to look at Xue Ziyi.

"Ziyi, stop your big brother. ”

Everyone reads at home, but her son, can't rely on them, not to mention, even the family's expenses have to be copied and sold by her son outside, and now she has to hire a doctor, how much does it cost.

Thinking like this, Xue Shi couldn't do it in a hurry.

Xue Ziyi on the side also came back to his senses when he was shouted by Xue, but he didn't stop Xue Hanyu, walked to the side of the bed in two steps, and sat next to Xue.

"Mother, you can hire a doctor, Ziyi will also make money, I will earn money with my eldest brother, you can ask for a doctor." ”

When Xue Ziyi spoke, Xue Hanyu had already gone out, and Xue looked at Xue Ziyi, whose face was full of tears, and his heart was full of despair.

Seeing this, Bai Yu walked over slowly.

"Aunt Xue, you should wait for the cold rain and ask the doctor to take a look. ”

"You want him to watch you ignore you like this, how can he be a son. ”

From the beginning, Xue's attention was on Xue Hanyu's body, and only at this moment did he discover Bai Yu, looking at Bai Yu's appearance, Xue Shi looked at Xue Ziyi suspiciously, and it was only at this time that he found that Xue Ziyi had an extra piece of clothing on his body.

Just as she was about to speak, Xue Ziyi hurriedly said as if she knew what she was going to say.

"Mother, this is the sister-in-law of the eldest brother's classmate. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the clothes on his body: "The clothes were also lent to me by my sister-in-law." ”

As he spoke, Xue Ziyi was about to take off the clothes on his body and return them to Bai Yu, but was stopped by Bai Yu.

"Wear it, I'm wearing more than you. "But isn't it, it's that she wears one less piece of clothing, and she wears more than Xue Ziyi.

Xue Ziyi glanced at Bai Yu and saw that she was indeed wearing more than herself, so she nodded and did not take off her clothes again.

Seeing this, the Xue family smiled at Bai Yu: "I'm really sorry, the purple clothes are bothering the little lady." ”

When Bai Yu heard this, he shook his head: "It's nothing, my uncle and Hanyu are friends, Ziyi is Hanyu's sister, and that's also my sister." ”

While speaking, Xue Hanyu had already returned from outside with the doctor.

The doctor was an old man who was almost ten years old, followed Xue Hanyu in, walked to Xue's side, and took Xue's pulse with ease.

Xue Hanyu and Xue Ziyi looked at the old doctor nervously.

After a long time, the old man took his hand off Xue's wrist and sighed.

Xue Hanyu's heart suddenly tightened: "Uncle Chen, my mother ...... her"

Xue Hanyu's voice trembled a little, and he couldn't say the words when he came to his lips.

When the old doctor heard this, he didn't know what he was going to say, and immediately shook his head.

"Your mother is just a little cold. ”

"How could the wind chill be so severe. Xue Hanyu asked.

Where does the Xue family look like a wind chill, Bai Yu doesn't believe it, Xue's is like this, let alone a small cold, even a severe cold is not so serious.

When the old doctor heard this, he sighed: "Your mother is hungry." ”

"I'll prescribe you some cold medicine, just take care of it when you're full. ”

After speaking, he grabbed some herbs from the medicine box and put them in them, and handed them to Xue Hanyu, who wanted to give money, but saw the old doctor waving his hand.

"Forget it, if you don't have a few pennies, take good care of your mother. ”

With that, the old doctor left with the medicine box on his back.

As soon as the old doctor left, Xue Ziyi knelt on the ground: "Big brother, it's all my fault, if my mother hadn't given me the food, my mother wouldn't have been like this." ”

Xue Ziyi regretted it very much, counting the days when the family should have run out of food in the past two days, but it was not broken, she originally thought that when the eldest brother came back last time, he brought corn flour back, but now I don't know the reason for this, the eldest brother did not bring the corn flour back, it was the mother who saved the nest head and gave it to her.

As he spoke, Xue Ziyi sobbed and cried.

Seeing this, Xue Hanyu sighed lightly and helped Xue Ziyi up: "Okay, why don't you go and raise the fire and boil medicine for your mother." ”

When Xue Ziyi heard this, he quickly wiped his tears and stumbled to the kitchen.

As soon as Xue Ziyi left, Xue Hanyu walked to the side of the bed and tucked the corner of the quilt for Xue.

"Mother, I have clearly got the money back, why don't you buy food and toss yourself like this. "When he was off last month, he had already taken the money back, and although he couldn't eat enough, he wouldn't be hungry, but now his mother is hungry like this.

When Xue Shi heard this, two lines of tears fell from his cloudy eyes.

stretched out his already thin skinny hand and helped Xue Hanyu's emaciated face: "Yu'er, look at you, you have lost weight, you have to go out to copy books to earn your own living expenses, not to mention subsidizing the family, my mother can't bear it." ”

Thinking of how hard his son was, Xue's heart hurt as if he was pinching, so he thought about eating less to relieve his son's pressure, but he didn't want to drag his son back more and more in the end.

Xue Hanyu's heart was sour when he heard this, and he shook his head: "Children are not hard. ”

"The child will definitely be able to let you live a good life in the future, mother, you have to believe me. ”

Xue Hanyu's words seemed to be said to the Xue family, as if they were said to themselves.

Hearing this, Xue nodded tearfully: "I believe, I believe, my Yu'er is the best." ”

The mother and son talked for a long time before Xue Hanyu comforted the Xue family.

Coming out of Xue's room, Xue Hanyu went to the kitchen, and saw Bai Yu and Xue Ziyi boiling medicine, and walked over slowly.

"Let my sister-in-law smile. ”

Xue Hanyu looked at Bai Yu with some embarrassment and said.

I saw Bai Yu shook his head when he heard this: "What is there to laugh at, isn't it the same in our family." ”

As he spoke, seeing that Xue Hanyu was still standing, he stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of Xue Hanyu's clothes: "You sit down, I have something to tell you, I feel so oppressed when you stand like this." ”

When Bai Yu said this, Xue Hanyu nodded with a smile and sat on the stool on the side.

"You've also tasted my craft, I see that Ziyi is very quick in doing things, and I want to teach her to make some food. ”

It is said that noble sons from poor families are rare, isn't it?

Because it is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family, if you want to provide a scholar, the strength of the family is sometimes not enough.

If Xue Hanyu can go to the academy to study and make friends with Ji Linyuan, it must be good in all aspects, but if it goes on like this, it may be very difficult to continue studying in the future.

Xue Hanyu saw Bai Yu say this, where did he not know that Bai Yu wanted to help them, his heart warmed slightly, hooked the corners of his mouth, and was about to refuse, when he heard Bai Yu's voice sound again.

"Don't think that I pity you, I didn't teach you in vain, when your business starts, you have to stratify with me. ”

As he spoke, he took out a tael of silver from his body and handed it to Xue Hanyu: "This is the capital I lent you, and when the business starts, you have to return it to me with interest." ”

As he spoke, he paused and glanced at Xue Hanyu: "You won't even give me a chance to sit at home and make money, right?"

Xue Hanyu, who originally wanted to refuse, saw that Bai Yu had said everything, and he didn't know that it was to take care of his ridiculous self-esteem, and seeing that Bai Yu looked like he would not give up if he dared to say no, he smiled lowly: "Since my sister-in-law said so, where would Hanyu refuse." ”

"Sister-in-law, rest assured, I will never let my sister-in-law lose money. ”

He knew why Lin Yuan always looked like a white rabbit in front of his sister-in-law, but at the same time, he was a little envious of Ji Linyuan in his heart, having such a good sister-in-law.

Xue Ziyi, who was sitting on the side with a fire, listened to the conversation between the two, and kept silent, and when he saw that they had finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Bai Yu with bright eyes.

"Sister-in-law, can you really teach me?"

Xue Ziyi was so excited that she didn't know if the food cooked by her sister-in-law was delicious or not, but she believed in his eldest brother, and her eldest brother didn't deny it, so it must be delicious.

If she learns and goes to the town to set up a stall selling food, then they can make money, they can provide for the eldest brother to study, and they don't have to ask the eldest brother to make up the money at home.

Thinking like this, Xue Ziyi seemed to look at hope, and his eyes changed when he looked at Bai Yu, as if Bai Yu was not a person, but a copper coin.

Seeing Xue Ziyi like this, Bai Yu couldn't help but smile and nodded.

"Well, of course. ”

"When can it start, right away or tomorrow?"

Seeing Bai Yu nodding, Xue Ziyi suddenly became excited, and grabbed Bai Yu's hand, Bai Yu saw this, reached out and patted Xue Ziyi's hand: "You have to wait for your mother to be well, right?"

Seeing this, Xue Ziyi suddenly became a little embarrassed, glanced at Bai Yu embarrassedly, and turned his head to look at the medicine.

Seeing that there was no big problem with the Xue family, Bai Yu glanced at the sky outside and stood up from the stool.

"It's not early, is there an ox cart in the village? I'm ready to go back. ”

When Xue Hanyu heard that he wanted to leave Baiyu here, he would wait here for tomorrow before leaving, but when he looked at the situation at home, as well as the bed where the purple clothes and his mother were crowded together, he didn't say anything.

Winter was already dark early, and now the sky outside was a little hazy, Xue Hanyu stood up from the stool: "I'll call an ox cart and send my sister-in-law back later." ”

As he spoke, he went out without waiting for Bai Yu to speak.

Xue Ziyi, who was on the side, saw that Bai Yu was going back, so he hurriedly reached out and took off the cotton clothes he was wearing, but was stopped by Bai Yu.

"You dress well, I still have it at home, and when your mother is well, you will come to me to study, but don't be cold and don't have time to come." ”

"Sister-in-law, it's cold outside, and the ox cart has no shelter from the wind, you still wear it, I'm sure I won't be cold." ”

Xue Ziyi suddenly became anxious when he saw this.

"I'm carrying the cold, you can rest assured. He said with an unhappy face: "If you take it off again, I won't teach you how to cook." ”

Seeing this, Xue Ziyi wanted to say more, but seeing Bai Yu like this, he finally bit his lip and whispered, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

The two talked, and after a while, Xue Hanyu came back, Bai Yu went to the room to say goodbye to Xue, and went to take the ox cart.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing this, Xue Hanyu hooked the corners of his mouth and whispered, "I'll send my sister-in-law back." ”

When Bai Yu heard this, she wanted to say that she didn't need to send it, but when she saw Xue Hanyu's appearance that she wouldn't let her go, she was silent and didn't say anything more.

Not long after the two of them sat on the ox cart and walked out of the village, it was dark, the dark night sky, the cold air, Bai Yu suddenly felt that there was suddenly something more on his body, and when he looked over his shoulder, he saw a cotton coat draped on his body, looking at the style, it should be Xue Hanyu's, and he couldn't help frowning.

"You put it on for me, it's so cold now, it's freezing later. ”

The clothes on Xue Hanyu's body are not thick, so I am afraid that it will be cold if I take off another one at this time.

"I took it from home, sister-in-law, rest assured, I won't freeze. ”

After Xue Hanyu finished speaking, Bai Yu turned his head to look, adapted to the eyes of the night, and saw that he was indeed wearing clothes, so he didn't speak again.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when the two of them arrived at Sanpai Village in an ox cart, it was already very late, Bai Yu had just gotten off the ox cart, and after walking a few steps, she saw a sneaky figure climbing the wall of her house.
