Fair Lady

Chapter 21 Come again?

After returning from the county office, Shuyao felt very relaxed.

In fact, they were a blessing in disguise this time, which not only made the uncle and third uncle scruples about their actions in the future, but also cut off the evil thoughts that some colleagues might have due to jealousy.

In many cases, the tighter the protection, the more mysterious it is, which makes people want to peep even more, and simply exposes it to people, but makes people lose interest.

After dinner, Shujie swallowed a pill-washing fruit and went to bed.

According to Master Wuxin's herbal book, after taking the marrow fruit, the body will expel a large amount of dirt through the skin during 5 hours of sleep.

In order to prevent Aunt Mei from asking when washing the sheets and bedding, Shuyao found an old sheet and blanket and spread it on Shujie's bed. Just go out and throw it away.

Aunt Mei and Mrs. Ajuan and Sun Da’s daughter-in-law were busy making preparations for tomorrow morning (washing beans, soaking beans, washing utensils, preparing firewood, etc.) in the tofu shop in the utility room. Going to bed, I strongly agree: "Young master has hunted so many prey today, and was troubled by the Xia Mansion for a long time. You must be exhausted. You should go to bed early." After a while, they will also go to bed. Go to bed early at night.

Sister-in-law Ajuan also said: "That's right, such a big wild boar, almost every household in the whole street got a big piece. Master Jie is really capable and generous, just like Xia Tutou."

The robe, two pheasants and two rabbits were given to Xu's family by Zhang Shiwen and Uncle Li, thanking Mrs. Xu for being the three brothers and sisters of Shujie.Another pheasant and a rabbit were given to the owner of Zhangji Tofu Square, thanking him for providing the venue, preparation materials, and tools free of charge.

Shuyao and Shuwen each wrote two large characters. After Shuwen settled down to wash and go to bed, Shuyao took Xiaoguai and Huohuo back to her room. Shujie made two simple beds for them with hay, Going to find Mrs. Jiujin's husband Xu Carpenter early in the morning to order two more comfortable nests for the two little ones.

Before going to bed, Shuyao put the deeds of Aunt Mei and Xiutao into the treasure box.

Before leaving the county government office today, Aunt Mei insisted that Shujie go and apply for their mother-daughter deeds.

Although Hongmei was born as a maid, she saw a lot of things during the two years she followed Zhen Zirou in the Murong Mansion. own understanding.

After today's disturbance in Xia's mansion, Hongmei realized that it would be better for her mother and daughter to stay in Xia's house as slaves, which is justified and will not cause trouble to the three little masters, and it is also a kind of protection for herself and Xiutao.

Hongmei said to Shujie: "Young master, it doesn't matter whether I am a slave or not. If the young master takes pity on us, why don't we release Xiutao's bond when she grows up?"

Shuyao quickly thought of Aunt Mei's concerns, and persuaded Shujie: "Brother, let's listen to Aunt Mei. We know that Aunt Mei and Xiutao are family members and not slaves. It's fine when the elder brother becomes a high-ranking official. When others don’t dare to bully us, we’ll just let go of our bond.”

Shujie is not stupid, but also very smart and stable. After thinking about it for a while, he figured it out. This can avoid a lot of troubles that may arise, so he didn't insist anymore, and went directly to the county government's household register to apply for Aunt Mei. The deeds of the two are also stamped with the seal of the county government.

Early the next morning, Shu Yao rushed to Shu Jie's room as soon as she woke up. Shu Jie had already washed up, her hair was still wet, and she felt refreshed and energetic, especially her eyes, which were really shining like stars, very bright.

Shuyao looked at a sack in the corner of the room, and knew that it should be the sheets and blankets laid out last night, put them in the treasure box, and put them away when she went out.

Shujie picked up Shuyao, who was pouting her mouth and complaining, and coaxed: "Yaoer, be good, don't be angry with brother, it's really smelly and dirty, it's black and sticky, it's scary, brother I don’t want to fume my Yao’er. You don’t know, my elder brother washed it with three buckets of water.” Fortunately, it’s hot now, and Shujie washed it in cold water, otherwise Aunt Mei would definitely be suspicious.

Shuyao thinks that she is the most "poor and fastidious" on weekdays. The elder brother must be afraid of disgusting herself, and his body is so sticky and dirty. Everyone wants to wash it off quickly, and he is no longer angry: "Brother , how do you feel now? Is there any discomfort?"

Shujie smiled brightly: "It feels great, it seems that the meridians of the whole body have been opened up and refreshed, um, it seems to have been completely reborn."

Shuyao was overjoyed: "Then you can start practicing that shadowless palm?" The eldest brother who is both civil and military is the pillar of the family, so naturally the sooner he becomes stronger, the better.And in Shuyao's heart, she owed her elder brother in her previous life, and in this life, she hopes to give her elder brother and Shuwen the best.

"Yes," Shujie nodded Shuyao's little nose, "with you as a little housekeeper here, big brother dare not be lazy."

"Humph," Shuyao proudly raised her chin, looking extremely arrogant, "Brother's task now is to take the examination of the number one scholar, and the number one scholar in civil and military affairs will also be tested together. Yao'er will supervise it every day." With Xisuiguo and Master Wuying's martial arts cheats, Shuyao's "requests" for her elder brother have also increased.Their family is not short of money now, what they lack is the "potential" to protect themselves.

Shuwen woke up at some point, and after listening to Shuyao's words, he replied vaguely: "There is also me, I want to take the civil and martial arts exam."

Shujie teased him: "If you want to be the No. [-] scholar, you can't be a lazy pig. Get up and memorize the Three Character Classic."

Shuwen curled his lips while putting on his clothes: "Brother, my sister and I have been able to memorize the Three Character Classic long ago, you said that today we will start reading hundreds of surnames."

"Yes, yes, my Wen'er and Yao'er are the smartest, and they are the pride of the elder brother." Shujie smiled happily. Although his parents are gone, fortunately he still has this pair of younger siblings, so that his life can still be peaceful. There is hope and laughter.

The three siblings got dressed and walked out of the house. Xiutao was already sitting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard picking soybeans.Seeing the three of Shuyao coming out, the little adults greeted: "Morning, young master, early girl, my mother said that breakfast is in the pot, and the food bowls for Xiaoguai and Huohuo are also ready. Mother also said that the young master should hurry up in the morning It’s time to read, don’t go to the stall, it’s too hot in the afternoon and you’re tired from reading.”

After Shujie helped his siblings wash up, he asked Xiutao to come over to wash their hands, and the four of them had dinner together.Except for Aunt Mei, the other four members of the Xia family are children who are growing up, and Shujie needs to study and practice martial arts, so Aunt Mei, who advocates saving money, is more willing to eat.For example, today's breakfast is very rich: lean meat porridge, small flower rolls, green onion mixed with tofu, and a poached egg for each person.

Xiao Guai and Huo Huo rushed out of the room happily when they smelled the barbecue, and each took a seat.These two soon-to-be mature little creatures refused to put the food bowl on the ground, but wanted to eat on the table like Shuyao and the others.

Carpenter Xu happened to come over to make "beds" for Xiaoguai and Huohuo at Shujie's request, and he was stunned when he saw the two "eating" on the edge of the table.

Huo Huo stared at Carpenter Xu with disdain and gave a "squeak", but Xiao Guai ignored it and concentrated on eating its food. Because Xiao Guai was still young, Aunt Mei carefully chopped up the barbecue meat, mixed some cabbage and The rice was inside, which seemed very suitable to Xiao Guai's taste, and even the meat residue and rice grains on the side of the basin were licked clean.

Shuyao saw that Xiao Guai ate two or three times as much as Huo Huo, so she lay lazily on the chair, and patted its back funnyly: "Go, walk around, digest the food, don't grow into a fat cat .”

Xiao Guai let out an aggrieved "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Almost at the same time as Xiaoguai fell to the ground, Shuyao and the others heard a scream: "Mother---tiger---"

Then there was the sound of something falling heavily on the ground, and a loud "Ah yo---"

Isn't this the voice of Lin Shi and Zhen Dafu?again?
