Hexi

Chapter 33 A Round Carrot Head

Su Qi rushed back again, staring at her with round eyes: "What did you bring Aji back for?!"

Su Wei said slowly, "What did I ask you just now?"

Su Qi clenched his fists tightly. Seeing that he was suffocated into a shrimp that was about to explode, he gradually became discouraged and finally became a shrimp shell: "Didn't I tell you? I asked him if he was afraid of being forced." I was in a hurry, my father would turn against me later? After I finished speaking, he let me go without saying anything!"

"Calling you a fool really didn't bury you!"

Su Luo squinted and sneered: "You thought you were bluffing him, but you didn't know that he was playing hard to catch and let you out just to grab your tail! You were yelling in that small restaurant before, and Han Mo was nearby Look, you left the store with your front foot, and he blocked me with your back foot. Look at you, you can't do a little thing well, what else can you do?"

Su Qi was stunned: "He really followed?...He went in person?!"

Su Luo didn't answer him.Crossing Erlang's legs, he ate a mouthful of candied fruit on the kang table, and then said: "I have already told you what will happen to you if you don't do well. You think I'm just talking? I'll let you take a good look. Is it to scare you, or keep your word.—Bring me in!"

"Yes."

Following Fusang's response from outside, the locked door opened.

Su Qi looked out trembling uncontrollably, and saw that Fusang walked in first, bent down with him in the curtain, then stopped and turned sideways, looking at a small figure following behind.

Fusang said, "Come here and see the eldest girl."

The figure walked from the dark to the bright, and under the shadow of the lamp, a face was clearly illuminated.

According to the information given by Qin Ye, the girl in Maya Hutong is already eight years old, but from the looks of it now, she is at most as tall as a flower shelf, with slender arms and legs, like a stick, but she has a big face on her face. It looks like a string of candied haws that has been eaten until only one is left, or a round radish that has just been pulled out of the ground.

Su Wei waited for her to knelt down and kowtowed, looked away, and looked again after a while, this girl... the girl has already raised her head, her cloth is covered with patches, but her eyes are lively and lively , with his big head tilted, looking at her.Her eyes and body are full of pity, not of a poor background, but of curiosity that cannot be suppressed.

"Do you know why I sent you here?" Su Luo asked.

Before Zhou Aji replied, Su Qi could no longer hold back: "Aji! Did they bully you?"

Fusang rolled his eyes.

"Second Master," Zhou Aji looked at him, as if he realized something was wrong at this time, "Sister Fusang said you were looking for me, and I saw that she had the same brand as Ximo, so she came here. What's wrong with you?"

Fusang coughed lightly from the side.Said: "Aji, when you meet the girl's second master, you have to use the honorific title. Also, you have to answer the girl first."

Zhou Aji snorted, and turned his big head to Su Wei: "Girl, folk girls don't know."

Su Luo said, "I heard that the family you are staying with is not your real uncle."

"Yes. Uncle Zhou is the sworn brother of Minnv's father. After my father passed away, my mother took me to the capital to join Uncle Zhou. When I woke up, she disappeared. After that, I could only live in Uncle Fourth's house."

"Since you don't have any relatives here, it's okay for you to leave the capital?"

Zhou Aji was stunned.

Su Qi rushed forward: "Su Luo!"

Su Luo glared at him: "Get out!"

It is impossible for Su Qi to go out!
"Drag out!"

Now someone came and got him out in a hurry.

Looking at this scene, Zhou Aji looked at Su Luo in confusion and fear.

Su Wei said: "How did you and the second master know each other? Don't lie a single word, come from the truth."

"Yes." Zhou Aji kowtowed again, and then said: "Minnv came to Beijing last spring. After my mother left, Uncle Zhou took me in. It happened that the fourth uncle's child was born soon, so I helped my aunt with some work. I went to the market to sell pickles that day, and I happened to meet Er Ye and others..."

She spoke quite slickly in the previous words, but when she got here, she faltered again.

"go on."

She said "yes" and continued: "Second Master was fighting with someone, and the other party called someone to come. Seeing that he couldn't fight, Second Master hid. I covered him with pickles and covered him. Later To thank me, he treated me to a snack. That's how we got to know each other."

"That's it?"

Su Luo looked at her.

According to Su Qi's appearance of being desperate for her, this reason is not enough.

"How many times have you met?"

"That's too many to count. The second master often came to see me, and he taught me how to read and write."

"Why did he teach you to read and write?"

Zhou Aji's big head drooped, then raised again after a while: "Maybe it's because I stole medicine for him."

"Stealing medicine?"

"Hmm..." Zhou Aji straightened his back unconsciously, his face was full of tension, as if he was a little wary.

Su Luoman said: "I am his biological sister. Besides our father, I am the closest person in his blood. Don't you worry about me?"

"That's not true." Zhou Aji paused, and then continued: "Last winter month, the second master made an appointment with me to deliver charcoal to the grandmother Liu in Nanshi who died of her children, but I waited for him He didn't come all day, and at night, only Ximo came to me, saying that the second master was punished by Mr. Su to kneel in the ancestral hall. His knees were broken and he couldn't come. I was very worried when I heard that, so I asked him to take me into Su's house have a look.

"Washing ink couldn't bother me, so I took me in quietly. I saw the second master in the ancestral hall. It turned out that not only was his knee broken, but he couldn't bear the cold, and he was getting hot. And there was no one waiting around him, Mr. Su No one was allowed to come and see him.

"I was sick when I was a child, and my parents were watching over me all night. Since they left, I was the one who was sick. I knew how uncomfortable no one cared about me, so I quietly went to the kitchen of Su's house and stole some Bupleurum bupleurum. , Boiled water on the small tea stove to feed him.

"I didn't expect to take a few doses, and in the morning, his fever really subsided.

"Later, he always said that he wanted to marry me. Alas, I'm just an orphan, so how dare I marry him. So he said he wanted to teach me to read and write."

Her two big eyes glowed under the lamp, like the bright sugar crystals on the surface of candied haws.

According to Su Shou's temperament, it is not surprising to treat Su Shou like this.Not only was he indifferent to his wife and daughter, but he also didn't show much warmth to his eldest son.

Su Wei looked back at Zhou Aji and said, "Although you are only eight years old, you can answer the questions fluently. Have you never read a book?"

Not only is she fluent in answering, she has been calm since entering the door. This is not a child that ordinary people can raise.
