Chapter 13
More than three months passed in a flash, a carriage came from outside the village, and a handsome man got out of the car, holding a medicine box in his hand, and then a handsome boy got out of the car, and the driver got off The car unloaded the large and small bags of items.

It happened that Lu Zhenbang was playing at the head of the village and saw a stranger approaching, so he approached vigilantly and asked, "Where did the distinguished guest come from?"

Xu Changrong looked at the child's well-mannered manners, and secretly sighed that there is such a well-educated child in such a remote village, he stepped forward and responded: "This little brother, do you know that the Gu family from the capital lives in the village? I am their old friend, come to see them, can the little brother lead the way?"

Lu Zhenbang looked at the child beside him. He looked gentle and handsome, wearing a blue padded robe. He was a little taller than himself, but thinner than him, and his skin was also very fair.

The child was also very curious to see Lu Zhenbang who was about the same age. He saw that the clothes he was wearing were only made of coarse cloth, which was already a little worn out, and his dark skin looked very strong.

Xu Changrong looked at the two boys looking back and forth, and said with a smile: "Little brother, this is the little boy Xu Shaolin."

"Oh, hello, my name is Lu Zhenbang." Lu Zhenbang was kind to Xu Shaolin, and Xu Shaolin was also very happy to have a child playing with him, so he quickly took out the candy he brought from home and gave it to Lu Zhenbang.

As soon as he saw the exquisite candy, Lu Zhenbang recognized it. It was the same as what Aunt Gu's family gave him before. He quickly led Xu Changrong and his son to Lu Qingping's home.

"Doctor Xu, why are you here? Sit down, sit down." Qingping, who was doing needlework, saw Xu Changrong's sudden arrival, and hurriedly stood up to greet her. I don't have any tea, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Since she came to Lu's Village, she has been frugal in various ways. Although she was a slave in the Fu's family since she was a child, she has never suffered, and she does not know how to do the rough work of the farm. I ordered some side dishes, as for the rice and noodles, I can only buy them, and the money on hand has to maintain the living expenses of the nanny and the whole family, so I can only save as much as I can.

Xu Changrong saw Qingping's difficulties. Now she is dressed like a country girl, and her clothes are very simple, and there is not much furniture in the house. He waved his hand quickly: "Qingping, just a cup of hot water is enough to keep warm." , don’t rush to greet me, I just came to see you this time, I don’t know how your health is, how is Li’er?” He turned to look for Gu Qianli.

Xu Shaolin looked at the surrounding environment. This was the poorest family he had ever seen, but he didn't dislike it at all. He also studied under Fu Fuzi since he was a child, so naturally he would not bully others because of the situation.

Qingping saw Xu Shaolin sitting on the side in a sensible manner, and hurriedly called: "Liancheng, come and play with Master Xu." Gu Liancheng was getting firewood by the back door, when he heard his mother calling him, he came over to pat the dust off his clothes.

"Brother Shaolin, why are you here? Great, is Brother Jinhong here?" Gu Liancheng was very excited when he saw Xu Shaolin.

"Brother Jinhong is here? Where is it? Where is it?" At this moment, a hurried voice came from outside, Gu Qianxue plunged into the room, looked back and forth, and couldn't help being disappointed when she didn't see Li Yan, "Mother, Where's Brother Jinhong?"

"Shut up." Qingping looked at this daughter furiously, "Hurry up and pay a visit to Mr. Xu."

"Hmph, why didn't brother Jinhong come?" Gu Qianxue was very dissatisfied when she confirmed that Li Yan hadn't come, she turned her head and walked out.

Qingping said with a smile on her face: "Doctor Xu, Xue'er has been in a bad mood since she came here, so don't share her knowledge."

Xu Changrong had always known Gu Qianxue's temperament, and would not be serious with her. Gu Liancheng had already dragged Xu Shaolin to play with Lu Zhenbang, and it happened that the nanny also carried Gu Qianxue in, which also attracted the attention of the two of them.

"Li'er has been raised for you very well." Xu Changrong hugged Gu Qianli and saw that the little girl had fully grown in just three months. Although she was a little smaller than a full-term child, her face was already a little fleshy. Yes, her skin is pink and fair, her complexion looks good, and her pair of black eyes are as dark as jewels.

"It should be, she is the only child of Madam." Qingping said sadly.

She thought of the old lady's serious illness when she left Beijing, so she asked Xu Changrong: "I don't know how the old lady and the master are, but they have recovered."

Xu Changrong replied: "I'm afraid that something is going to happen to the old lady. I went to see her a few days ago. I'm afraid she won't be able to survive this winter. She really wants to see Li'er, but she has enough energy to spare. She asked me to follow her." Tell me, I hope you will treat Li'er kindly for the sake of the Fu family's disrespect for you in the past."

"Poor madam, poor young lady." Qingping couldn't help crying, "Don't worry, I will treat Li'er better than my own. Is the master okay?"

"Master is very depressed now, and the affairs of the college have been handed over to others, and he just stays with the old lady himself. He said that he is too old and can't bear the long-distance travel, so he won't come to see Li'er. "In fact, Xu Changrong didn't say it out, Master Fu was afraid that seeing this granddaughter would remind him of his lost daughter, so he didn't want to come, fearing that it would only add to the sadness.

But he still remembers it in his heart. He asked Xu Changrong to bring a lot of books this time, just hoping that his granddaughter will not be neglected in literature in the future.

As soon as Qingping cried, everyone thought of Gu Shuo and Fu Ziyu who had passed away, and couldn't help feeling sad. Even Gu Qianli seemed to feel the dullness and weight in the air, curling her lips as if she was about to cry.

Xu Changrong quickly teased her with a smiling face, and she eased her brows.

"Li'er is really sensible, she can judge people's faces at such a young age." Xu Changrong couldn't help laughing when he saw her small appearance.

"Giggle" Hearing Xu Changrong's laughter, Gu Qianli also laughed out loud.

The nanny said happily: "Ma'am, you see that Miss smiled, this is the first time she laughed, it seems that she and Master Xu are really destined."

Qingping was also very happy: "Li'er is really smart, she knows who can take care of you."

The clear laughter of the little baby girl eased the pain and heaviness in the room. Xu Changrong hugged her and said, "Everything will be fine, everything will pass. After the storm, there will be sunny days."

It was the first time for Xu Shaolin outside the house to come to the countryside. He had a great time with Lu Zhenbang, and he didn't care if his clothes were dirty. He came here to visit the Gu family, but he was very happy. It was his first time playing in the mud to catch birds, and he also gained a good friend.

When Xu Changrong came out, she found that her son had turned into a little mud monkey, and she was still reluctant to leave. Qingping saw that the sky was approaching dusk, and was afraid that the two of them would not be able to find their host on the way back, so she wanted to say stay. They stayed here for one night before leaving.

Xu Changrong is a polite person, thinking it would be very inconvenient for his family to be full of female relatives, he said he should hurry back early, but Lu Zhenbang immediately thought of a way, "Mr. between."

Xu Shaolin looked at his father eagerly. This was the first time he let go of his nature like this. Xu Changrong taught him to be extremely strict since he was a child, and he has been studying in Fu Fuzi's academy. Xu Changrong couldn't bear to refuse.

But Lv Zhenbang had already rushed to his home, and the village chief was very happy when he heard that it was an imperial doctor from Beijing, so he hurriedly came to invite him, hoping that he would not dislike the shabby home, and Xu Changrong would not let him go To save face, he reluctantly agreed to stay for a day before leaving.
