playful peasant girl

Chapter 20
Xia Lan was no longer annoyed, but she was not in the mood to continue checking the accounts, so she led Xiao Tao to check the business status of several other shops in her family.

Thinking that Xia Haoxuan was still at home and didn't tell him before leaving, he was a little worried, and he was not in the mood to continue checking the shop, so he went back home.

Xia Haoxuan looked for him when he got home and hadn't finished his cup of tea yet. "Sister, what's the matter today? But someone made you unhappy?" Xia Lan's heart warmed when she heard her younger brother's caring words. If she had a younger brother like this, what else was wrong with her.

"Sister is fine, let Haoxuan worry." Xia Lan's tone to her younger brother was 150% gentle, "Haoxuan, how is your homework master taught you in the past few days?" You don't need to worry about it yourself, Xia Lan will still ask him about his studies every few days and take a test on him.

"Haoxuan has kept Master's teachings in mind these past few days, and dare not forget anything." Xia Lan extracted several passages from the scriptures, Xia Haoxuan can recite them proficiently, and understands the contents of these passages very well. Seeing that Xia Haoxuan didn't look proud at all, Xia Lan was very satisfied with this younger brother.

When Qingmei came in, she saw the warm scene of Xia Lan's sister and brother being in harmony, she paused for a moment, "Miss, the servants I bought have already settled down, do you want to call over to meet?"

"Naturally, I want to meet him, so I ask him to go to the study and wait." As for this son, who made her feel unhappy, the new servant of the Xia family, she naturally would not forget it.

In the study, when Xia Lan arrived, the young man was already waiting. Xia Lan sat down in front of the desk, raised her eyes and looked carefully: sword eyebrows and star eyes, thin lips and straight nose, washed away the previous embarrassment, The skin is fair, and the skin is not bad.

There was a bit of inappropriate arrogance in the boy's eyes, Xia Lan's evaluation of him was pulled up a notch, and Xia Lan had never had a good feeling for people who couldn't recognize the situation clearly, "Your name, where are you from?"

"Mu Yuming, a native of the capital," the boy replied.

"Why did you end up here?" Xia Ping felt that Mu Yuming should have a good family background and shouldn't be so down and out.

Mu Yuming didn't make a sound. Seeing that he was unwilling to answer, Xia Lan felt that his background was not simple. She was afraid that it would be a trouble, so she didn't bother to investigate further. She would know sooner or later, it wasn't just time.

"There is still a pile of firewood in the firewood room, ask Qingmei to lead you there, and eat after chopping." Xia Lan found him a physical job to kill his temper.

Looking up at Mu Yuming, he seemed a little surprised and dissatisfied. Xia Lan commented that this young man's heart is not enough.

Let Mu Yuming chop wood?Not only Xiaotao, but even Qingmei, who is usually a calm girl, was puzzled, "Miss, although he was in a mess before, he couldn't hide his extravagance. He was a son from a rich family. He was very delicate when he thought about it. I'm afraid he can't do this job, right?"

Xia Lan glanced at Xiaotao, "I can't do firewood chopping, why should I buy him? Is it possible to enshrine him as a god? Qingmei, go and watch him. When will you finish chopping firewood? When will you take him to dinner?" Bring him to see me after dinner, go."

The moon and stars are sparse, and the few stars in the sky and the white moon together describe the comfort of the night sky.The somewhat sleepy Xia Lan yawned, "Haven't you finished chopping yet?"

During the day, with Xia Lan's reprimand and Qingmei's suggestion later, Xiaotao also understood that she might have caused trouble for the young lady and came back. Looking at the sleepy look of the young lady at the moment, she felt so regretful that she would die. It's my own fault.

"Miss, if you're sleepy, go and rest. Xiao Tao will watch over here and wake you up when Qing Mei comes over."

Seeing Xiaotao looking at her with embarrassment, Xia Lan didn't take it seriously, "It's okay, I'll wait."

Another half an hour later, Qingmei came back and said, "Miss, the newly bought firewood has been chopped, but he refuses to eat, it seems that he is a little annoyed in his heart, do you think?"

Xia Lan originally wanted to let him chop firewood and let him go, but that was good, and he got annoyed. Shouldn't she be more annoyed if she waited here until midnight?
"Miss Ben has waited for so long, if you don't get angry, I'm afraid God will not see it, go and bring him here."

According to Xia Lan's words, Mu Yuming was quickly brought over. The newly changed clothes were wrinkled due to chopping wood, and his hair was a bit messy. It seemed that chopping wood was quite tiring. What did you do?"

Mu Yuming looked at Xia Lan, it was this stinky girl who let him know that chopping firewood is not easy and even more tiring to death. "Thanks to Miss's concern, I feel fine."

"I heard you don't want to eat?" Xia Lan raised her eyebrows, feeling okay?Makes you feel bad right away.

"The nurse was newly buried, and I couldn't hide my grief in my heart, and I couldn't eat it." This is also true.

"Can you play the piano?" Mu Yuming obviously didn't expect Xia Lan's topic to change so quickly, he was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what she was going to do, "Yes."

"Then you can follow Qingmei to the study to play the piano!"

Mu Yuming shrank his hands into his sleeves unconsciously, and his hands had already caused several big blisters when chopping firewood.Xia Lan naturally noticed his actions, but she didn't feel soft-hearted.

"Zheng, zheng" the sound of the piano has no rhythm at all, "Xiao Tao, go and tell him when the sound of the piano is smooth and let him rest, and let him play the piece "Yangchun Baixue"."

Xia Lan wouldn't delay her sleep by spending time with him here, so she went back to the bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.
