Chapter 34: Catch the Wind!
On the fourth day of the lunar month, Zhong Xiao finally returned to the Zhong Mansion after a long absence, he had already retreated from his former immaturity, wearing a light blue dark pattern plain robe, which made him look tall as a bamboo. Behind him stood a forty-five-year-old boy, dressed in a power suit, his hair tied up in a ponytail, staring at his surroundings.
Zhong Li got the news and immediately rushed to the gate of the mansion with someone, "Brother, you are finally back!" said and ran in front of him, stretched out his hand and grabbed his arms. At this moment, the young man stepped forward with an arrow, and his body quickly separated Zhong Li and Zhong Xiao by more than a foot.
"Eleven, don't mess around!" Zhong Xiao smiled slightly and said in a deep voice, "She is my sister, you will treat her the same as I do to me in the future." ”
The young man who was called Eleven stepped aside with his cheeks puffed out, looked left and right, made a grimace at Zhong Li, and ran behind Zhong Xiao to get more.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Li couldn't help laughing. Although she knew something about this young man in her previous life, but now she can only make a look of ignorance, "Brother, he ......"
"Eleven, he has no ill will. It's just that I don't know you and think you're going to hurt me. Zhong Xiao explained in order to avoid misunderstanding, "I was sent back to Yunlu Xianju back then, and I have been successful in studying hard for several years. On the way to practice, he met him who was seriously injured and on the verge of death. It took more than a month of treatment before he woke up, and it wasn't until he recovered that I realized that the child was mentally insane. ”
Zhong Li quietly listened to his brother's words, glanced at Eleven who was still hiding behind Zhong Xiao, slightly showed a smile that went straight to the bottom of his eyes, and pulled Zhong Xiao to go inside.
"Brother Xiao, can I go play for a while?" Eleven looked around, walked around to Zhong Xiao, and lowered his head and asked.
Zhong Xiao had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and after thinking about it, he agreed, "Go ahead!" He stopped him again as he was about to leave, and pointed out two places, and instructed him not to go over and not to come near.
Zhong Li saw all this in his eyes, and didn't say anything, presumably the events of the year must be unforgettable for Zhong Xiao, otherwise, how could he not let Eleven get close to the Fuyuan Courtyard. I saw Eleven nod solemnly, and a person had left the corridor and didn't know where to go.
"My brother's return is just in time, and my mother will be reburied in two days. These days, you must be tired from the exhaustion of the boat, the original Xinxue Courtyard your house was destroyed, and the renovation has not been completed, so you can only let your brother live in Cuizhu Courtyard first. Fortunately, now, Xinxue Courtyard and Cuizhu Courtyard are not far away, and it is convenient for us to take care of each other in the future. Zhong Li glanced at the people who passed by in a hurry, didn't say anything, just evoked a fleeting smile, and calmly told Zhong Xiao where he lived.
After all, Zhong Xiao has been walking the rivers and lakes for some days, and he also noticed the figure just now. Just didn't want Zhong Li to be frightened, so he didn't step forward to stop him, and still looked at the sister he hadn't seen for many years with a smile.
Along the way, he asked Zhong Li many times about the situation over the years, and she told them one by one with her memory, and told Zhong Xiao some information about the situation of the Lin family. Although the ban has been lifted and she can enter and leave the Fuyuan Courtyard freely, she is not allowed to step out of the mansion for half a step, and everything in the mansion is temporarily presided over by her.
After Zhong Xiao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, although after receiving the letter, he rushed back to the mansion without stopping. He was sad and angry and worried, although he understood it in the letter, but he did not see his own sister with his own eyes, and he was always uneasy. Now, seeing Zhong Li appear intact in front of his eyes, he is naturally relieved.
"Li'er, let's go see my father in a moment, after all, I've already returned home. Then you and I went with you to worship our mother. ”
"Okay!" Zhong Li nodded and answered, and when he heard a noisy sound not far away, he immediately looked for the sound.
In the garden, a girl in a blue cotton jacket pointed to the broken porcelain on the ground with her waist crossed, and scolded Eleven, her face full of pride. And Eleven tilted his head and didn't look at her, he originally wanted to walk away, but he thought of his brother's instructions, but he moved his foot slightly and took a few steps back, standing in place and looking around, his eyes were full of anxiety.
"Eleven, what's going on?" Zhong Xiao followed Zhong Li and also came to the garden, and when he saw this scene, he immediately raised his voice to let Eleven return to his side.
When Eleven saw Zhong Xiao, he immediately ran to his side and hid behind him, "Brother Xiao, she deliberately bumped into me, but without hitting me, she threw the vase in her hand to the ground, scolded as soon as she opened her mouth, and the noise was to death, she was a villain!"
Before they could speak, the little girl couldn't help jumping to her feet, "Nonsense, I don't look at you, I'm dressed like this and running around in the yard, in my opinion, it's not a thief but also a scoundrel who eats white food, pretending to be something, looking like I've bullied you." This is the Zhenguo Mansion, not the realm where you come to cheat and show off your might. "There is no scruple between words.
Zhong Xiao didn't say anything, just looked at her coldly, then ignored it and comforted her in a low voice, and after a while, a pure smile appeared on Eleven's face. At the girl, he turned his head and snorted heavily.
The girl's face was full of disdain, and she rolled her eyelids and pursed her lips and said, "Who are you......?" and she was only halfway through her words when she was choked by the woman who appeared in front of her, and a look of panic appeared on her face.
In the past few months, I have been by Miss's side, and I have been beaten and scolded from time to time, all because Zhong Qinghe is jealous and hates Miss Yan, and she has also had a lot of resentment about this, but I can see a woman like a fairy out of the dust, and her cowardly emotions overwhelmed the resentment in her heart, standing in place and trembling, the original arrogance is gone.
"Lu Rui, you are not accompanying Miss Shu in the Fuyuan Courtyard, what are you doing here?Who gave you the courage to contradict the young master?" An Ran got Zhong Li's signal, walked up to the girl in the blue cotton jacket, and asked in a deep voice.
The girl who was called Lurui, heard An Ran ask, and subconsciously looked at everyone, and then realized that something was wrong, "Slave maid...... Meet Young Master Chang and Miss Yan!" said and knelt down heavily, and happened to kneel on top of her broken porcelain, the pain made her gasp for air, and she didn't dare to move, "It's Xiao...... It was Miss Shu who asked the slave maid to take the vase, and the slave didn't know the young man...... It's the young master's person, and the place where he collided, please ask the young master and the young lady to forgive their sins. Although it was already Layue and she was dressed thickly, blood spilled from the place where Lu Rui knelt, and her face was slightly pale.
"Those who don't know are not guilty, but you are so domineering, and you weigh your attitude according to what others wear, but you are breaking the rules. Although you are from Miss Shu's side, what you committed today will not be forgiven, go to Mama Feng to receive punishment. Zhong Li looked at the green stamen who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, unable to hear any emotion.
When Lu Rui heard Zhong Li say this, she immediately fell to the ground in a deflated mood, she knew best how powerful Mama Feng was, during this time, she had learned a lot of lessons.
"An Ran, take her to treat the wound first, although it is now Layue, but the wound is not treated in time, it is always bad. After Zhong Li gave the order, he took Zhong Xiao and Eleven to the Cuizhu Courtyard.
An Ran asked the two nurses to carry Lu Rui to the place where Mama was teaching, and told Mama Feng the truth of the matter. took the medicine box and gave her medicine, but in the process of applying the medicine, she was very heavy, and the painful green stamen almost fainted.
"An Ran, you are also ruthless, you actually put such a heavy hand, look at the green stamen pain, want to scream but care about Mama Feng, can only grit her teeth and stand up, I see that she is biting blood in her mouth. The cuckoo choreographed Enron with a smile on his face.
She said with a fluttering eyebrow, "Our young lady is kind-hearted, knowing that little hoof has no good intentions, but she punishes her with a big warning, and Mama Feng's methods will inevitably make her peel off her skin." However, she actually worked hard for Miss Shu and wanted to do something to frame her, and I drugged her hard, just to get her used to it first. As she spoke, she pulled the cuckoo and whispered again.
"But yes, it's better to let her suffer a little. Du Juan shook his head helplessly, and teased, "You! do as you like, I really don't know how you survived under Mama Feng in the past." ”
An Ran didn't react for a while, and couldn't help but look at the confused cuckoo, until she covered her mouth and chuckled, she didn't react, and the two of them frolicked and went to Cuizhu Courtyard.
Mama Feng came to Zhong Qinghe with a straight face, and opened her mouth directly, "Miss Shu, although you and Aunt Lin have been ungrounded, you can let the people around you mess around in the mansion, and if the master knows, you will definitely be angry." The old slave advises you to discipline your subordinates well, and if you can't discipline them well, then the old slave will discipline them on your behalf. That girl can't be by your side now, and I'll arrange for someone else to serve later. ”
"Who gave you the guts!" Zhong Qinghe heard Mama say this, and immediately became anxious, stood up suddenly, and looked at Mama Feng viciously, "Lu Rui is the personal girl next to me, I see who dares to touch her." ”
"Miss Shu, the old slave reminds you that you don't like to hear it, there are masters in this Zhong Mansion who have the final say. And Miss Yan also accepted the master's entrustment and was in charge of the middle feed in the house, so Miss Yan naturally had the final say in this person's affairs. Mama Feng couldn't get used to Zhong Qinghe's behavior, and she no longer left any mercy when she spoke, "That girl actually dared to point fingers at Young Master Yan and frame and abuse, this is a violation of the rules of Xuanhan, and it is natural to be punished." Miss Shu, you should also settle down, don't be wrong. ”
"You ......" Zhong Qinghe looked at Mama Feng angrily, and grabbed her handle first, but Mama Feng didn't give her a chance at all.
Mama Feng bowed slightly to Zhong Qinghe, "Miss Shu, the old slave's words have been brought, the green Rui people are in the ancestral hall, if you want to go, please go and ask Miss Yan in person, and with Miss Yan's warrant, you can take the person back." After saying what she had to say, she didn't want to linger any longer, so she withdrew.
