Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 74
Du Huanghua quickly pushed her away, "I'm still busy, you can go back with Miss Wan in a while."

It was only then that Du Xiaoyu remembered that this is Hongxiufang, and Mrs. Wan must have sent a mission to come here.

"Is it for someone's birthday?" Those senior sisters were embroidering an extremely long embroidery picture together. There were already several cranes. They were lifelike and auspicious. Du Xiaoyu admired them greatly.

Du Huanghua nodded, thinking about whether to explain to her.

The second senior sister smiled at this moment, "I'm a bit busy, Xiaoyu, it's unfortunate that you came here today, otherwise you can talk to the younger junior sister for a while, but this birthday celebration picture cannot be delayed, it is dedicated to the prefect by the county chief Your Excellency congratulates the old lady on her seventieth birthday."

It's really a big deal, no wonder all four disciples are there, but where are sister Rong and the fifth senior sister?

"Why don't you leave now?" Du Huanghua also took the needle and thread. She was new here and not good at learning skills, so she was only in charge of the auspicious cloud patterns around the birthday celebration picture.

"Okay, I won't disturb you sisters anymore." Du Xiaoyu said to Wan Fanglin, "Miss Wan, shall we go?"

Naturally, Wan Fanglin would not disagree, so she took Bai Lan back to Wanfu.

In the evening, when Du Wenyuan finally came back from the academy, he was not surprised to see Du Xiaoyu, he just smiled and said, "Then Qiu Changrong acted so fast, did you punish him properly?"

"Being beaten by my father and mother a few times, I can't kill anyone." Du Xiaoyu giggled, "But I asked him for some prescriptions, so I won't be afraid of cold melon getting sick in the future."

"That's good." Du Wenyuan pointed to the main room and said, "I'll go in first and talk to you later."

Zhang Zhuoyu didn't understand what they were talking about at all, so he just smiled at Du Xiaoyu and went into the room to say hello to Master Wan and Mrs. Wan.

This is an etiquette rule, which must be done every day when going out or returning home. Although Du Wenyuan is not a relative of their family, he never misses it, so the Wan family couple also like him very much.

Du Xiaoyu stood at the door and waited, and after a while Du Xian came out together.

"Are you talking about how you met the young master of the Jiang family?" Du Xian said, "Just now I played chess with Mr. Wan. Speaking of the Jiang family, it turned out to be the Jiang family that specializes in tea in the county. I heard that there are several tea houses. , but when it comes to the young master of the Jiang family, Master Wan doesn't seem to appreciate it very much."

"The second son of their family is also studying in the academy." Du Wenyuan said with a smile, "Why don't you know him?"

Du Xian stared at him suspiciously, "I've never seen you mention it before, so I came to help you in a good way? It seems that Qiu Changrong's old father-in-law was quite frightened. What's going on?"

"His old father-in-law is a carpenter, and the Jiang family is rich. There are always a few valuable things that are accidentally smashed. They were supposed to be escorted to the yamen to make boards, but they were mentioned in the academy. I heard It was Qiu Changrong's father-in-law who let him let him go this time, and he was kind of friendly, besides, he is so old that he can't stand beatings, and he doesn't want to cause trouble." He paused, "Qiu Changrong is guilty of being a thief and smashed our melons. , I only thought that Mr. Jiang and I were in collusion, so I came here to beg father and Xiaoyu."

Du Xian got a headache from being surrounded by him, and waved his hands, "Forget it, it's for nothing, it's over anyway, you study hard and don't worry about your family." Seeing Du Xiaoyu next to Du Wenyuan, he shook his head and smiled, "You guys The two brothers and sisters always talk a lot, don't talk for too long, we have to go back."

Seeing him go into the main room again, Du Xiaoyu hurriedly dragged Du Wenyuan into the garden, "Second brother, tell me the truth, why is Second Young Master Jiang willing to help you?" As for releasing people just because of a single sentence, Du Wenyuan's words just now have been carefully deliberated and there are many loopholes.

"I can't hide it from you." Du Wenyuan scratched her cheek with his fingers, "Second Young Master Jiang wants to get a poem, but I just fulfilled his wish."

It seems that Qiu Changrong's father-in-law was tricked, but it frightened an innocent person.

Du Xiaoyu bowed his head in silence for a while, and then said, "Then Mr. Jiang is not afraid of trouble for a poem."

"How do you know, he is..." Du Wenyuan paused, coughed lightly, "He used it for his own use." That poem is not easy to compose, and Second Young Master Jiang tried his best to please the beautiful woman, so he asked him to deal with it. A carpenter is nothing, if there is a good way, as long as it is not killing people, he is afraid of anything.

The two of them walked around the garden, it was early autumn, and the flowers withered, but the hibiscus bloomed wildly here, and there were carnations competing for beauty, snow white and purple, and red and white, but they were not lonely.

"When Second Brother comes back next time, Uncle Lin's martial arts gym will be built." Du Xiaoyu said, "Do you still have time to practice martial arts? Don't forget all about it."

Du Wenyuan raised his eyebrows, "If you and Dad hadn't come, I would be practicing right now."

It seems to be working hard, and it's really not a momentary interest. Du Xiaoyu looked up at the sky, "Time flies so fast, it's almost dark, I have to go back."

Du Xian also happened to come over to look for someone at this time, and they were about to leave after saying goodbye to Master Wan and his wife.

Zhang Zhuoyu said, "You come and go in such a hurry, you leave without saying a few words?"

Only then did Du Xiaoyu realize that he really hadn't spoken to Zhang Zhuoyu, so he smiled embarrassedly, "Who told you to leave school late, you won't be able to catch up if you don't take the ox cart."

Mrs. Wan glanced at Du Xiaoyu, then turned her head to look at Wan Fanglin, "Fanglin, how about letting Xiaoyu stay for a night?" She then said to Du Xian, "Huang Hua hasn't come back from Hongxiufang, and there are many sisters who come here." If you want to talk, let Xiaoyu stay here for one night."

"This, it's too much trouble."

"How can it be bothering you? Our family has few people, so it doesn't matter if we live here permanently. Is it because you are worried about this little daughter?" Mrs. Wan said with a smile.

Du Xian quickly shook his head, "There's nothing to worry about, Xiao Yu, you can stay here, I'll tell your mother, come back tomorrow by yourself, don't bother Master Wan and Mrs Wan." After finishing speaking, he left first.

Du Xiaoyu stood there in a daze, this father was too straightforward, he left as soon as he said it.

Mrs. Wan invited someone to serve the food, and asked her servants to share some for the apprentices of the Red Sleeve Workshop. It seemed that the embroidery would be very late.

The dinner table was enjoyable. Mrs. Wan was careful, warmed up the cornbread brought by Du Xiaoyu and ate it for Du Wenyuan, saying that she should not let down her mother's wishes, and Mr. Wan always talked a lot and always had a lot to talk about. Go along with it below, and the meal will pass quickly.

After finishing the meal, Zhang Zhuoyu came over and said, "Xiaoyu, I found a book about deception, and it contains the kind you mentioned last time."

Seeing his beaming eyebrows, no wonder he wanted to talk to her just now, it was because of this, "Then you have finished reading it? Do you think you can travel around by yourself after reading it?" She smiled lightly.

"That will take a few years, go, I'll take you to see."

This time it was Du Wenyuan's turn to fail to understand the conversation between them, and he stepped forward and said, "What are you talking about?"

"Speaking of deception, didn't you say that if I go out, I will be cheated naked?"

"Isn't it?" Du Wenyuan sneered, "If you go to the street, you can be cheated out of money, but if you go farther away, you won't even have the money back."

Du Xiaoyu interjected curiously, "Has he ever been cheated out of money?"

"Yeah, it's pitiful to see people sell their bodies to bury their fathers, throwing away three taels of silver for nothing, and it turned out that the father was alive at all, and there is one more thing, there is a child..."

Zhang Zhuoyu shouted, "You know it well, you didn't stop me then!"

"Stop you, are you listening?"

Du Xiaoyu listened to their bickering and just laughed beside them, and the three of them went to the east chamber in a lively manner.

Wan Fanglin stood at the door, looking at their backs, his eyes were full of loneliness.

"Silly boy, since you envy this excitement, why don't you go together?" Mrs. Wan said behind her, "In the past, there was no one else at home, and your cousin only played with you, but when he grows up, he always wants to know other people." , don’t you just watch? Will you never get close to Zhuo Yu again?”

Wan Fanglin opened his mouth and closed it again, stirring the handkerchief with both hands.

"Look at how cheerful Xiaoyu is. If you have half of her, I'll be relieved." Mrs. Wan sighed. She only had two daughters. The older one was married early, and the younger daughter was so withdrawn. After my sister got married, it became even more serious. Although there is still Zhang Zhuoyu who can rely on her cousin, what about the future?

Thinking of Mrs. Wan's headache, she always wants to get married, but which man can control such a temperament?
"Bai Lan, take Miss to find Master Biao." Mrs. Wan ordered, "Don't let me hide again."

Bai Lan responded and led Wan Fanglin away looking for the laughter.

"Look, this is amazing!" In the side hall, Zhang Zhuoyu pointed to a few lines on the book and said with a smile, "Xiaoyu, next time you go to sell pigs, don't be fooled and drive the piglets to run around. A big loss of money!"

"I'm not that stupid!" Du Xiaoyu rolled his eyes at him, and turned a page, "This person is like you, the living can be the dead, so why would you be wary of a beautiful girl?" She giggled, "Don't lose money and people at that time, and you will have nowhere to regret it!"

Zhang Zhuoyu blushed, "I, I, am I a lustful person!"

Du Wenyuan sneered at the side, "I'm not greedy, I just threw it away when I saw someone selling her body to bury her father that day? Now that I think about it, that girl's looks are also considered to be top-notch, no wonder someone would be fooled, Zhuo Yu, don't you think so? "

"So that's it!" Du Xiaoyu rolled his eyes on Zhang Zhuoyu's face, shrugging his shoulders with a smile, "Look at you..." I wanted to say that you were young, but then I thought that I was younger than him, so I just Changing the words, he put the book in his hand, "You really have to study this book carefully, tsk tsk, no wonder the book of rites says that food and sex are also true, and it's true."

Zhang Zhuoyu's face was prettier than Huaer's when they sang together. Fortunately, Wan Fanglin and Bai Lan arrived to resolve the embarrassment.

"In front of my cousin, don't talk nonsense." He warned.

Du Xiaoyu nodded, "That's natural," and said worriedly, but with a cousin like you, I don't know if Miss Wan will be led astray. "

One sentence made Zhang Zhuoyu's body stiffen immediately, he only wished to bring the two brothers and sisters here together, and regretted that he shouldn't have brought up such a topic.But with Wan Fanglin around, naturally he will not continue this joke, Zhang Zhuoyu picks out interesting tricks to tell everyone, and laughs again for a while.
