A year's plan begins in spring, and a day's plan begins in the morning. But in Jin Liusao's impression, her husband has always been the type who can sit and never stand, and can lie down and never sit.
Early in the morning, she was busy drawing water from the well and preparing to wash the dirty clothes she had changed out last night. When she saw her husband neatly packed up and walked out of the room, she almost stared out of her eyes. She noticed that Jin Liu
She was about to walk out. She hurriedly stood up from the bench, wiped water drops on her apron with her hand, and walked up quickly.
"Where are you going this early in the morning? Does the young master have an errand for you?"
"Where do all these errands come from? If I, the concierge, don't go to the door to watch, then what are the rules?"
As soon as these words came out, Jin Liu's sister-in-law felt that her husband was a little weird more and more, and she actually raised her hand to touch his forehead. Until Jin Liu took a step away angrily and threw her hand away, she couldn't help but complained angrily: "In the past
When I was looking at the gate over there, I didn't see you being so diligent, but now you know the rules! Yesterday I went out for a long time, and then I hurried out and didn't come back until dark. If you had been so diligent earlier, we wouldn't have to...
"
Before he finished speaking, Jin Liu interrupted impatiently: "Why are you talking more and more nonsense? It was before, and now is now. I warn you, don't be lazy and slippery in front of that young master in the future, no see
Did the Shen family’s Butler Lu come in person yesterday?”
Sister-in-law Jin Liu curled her lips: "I'm just the housekeeper of the Shen family, and I deserve your instructions!"
"You bitch, what do you know!" Jin Liu scolded in a low voice, looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Yesterday at the east gate of Yingtian Mansion, all those who asked for an audience were blocked outside, but our young master not only
We went in, and when we came out, it was the Butler Zhu who was next to the Sixth Master who personally delivered it to us. If you ate that thousand-feuille pastry, you should know what kind of craftsmanship it is!"
Although Sister-in-law Jin Liu was vulgar, when her husband said this, she couldn't help but tilt her head and think about it carefully. In the blink of an eye, she said in a fuss: "You mean, he persuaded Master Six to help, and the Xu family can't do anything about him?"
"Keep your voice down!" Jin Liu was startled, glanced at Jin Liu's sister-in-law, and saw her quickly shut her mouth, then hummed softly, "Who knows about this matter, in short, this master seems to be enlightened, let's
You can no longer fool him as the prodigal son you once were. Last time you complained about doing laundry, he rewarded you with a hundred dollars? And the days when I went out to inquire about information, you were still nagging, but
How much reward did you get in the end? Consistently, consistently!"
When Jin Liu said this, Jin Liu's sister-in-law was also ecstatic when she thought about the money her husband had brought back. She couldn't help but feel a little sarcastic. She couldn't say anything to refute. She just watched Jin Liu leave herself and walk towards the door.
She still couldn't help but muttered: "All the people who come to this door all year round are not only angry elders, but also those incompetent libertines from the past. What's so interesting about this door?"
"Can Master Seventh be at home?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a shout from outside the door. The next moment, she saw Jin Liu rushing to the door in three steps and two steps, and welcomed a clean-looking young man in with a bright smile.
Seeing Jin Liu's respectful manner of nodding and bowing, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in her heart. She simply pretended not to see him and walked straight to the clothes to be washed. But before she could sit down, Jin Liu came from behind.
's cry.
"Why don't you go in and tell the young master? Brother Tao Hong from the sixth master's family is here to deliver the post!"
Sister-in-law Jin Liu was still mumbling just now, but when she heard that it was Mr. Six's family, she hurriedly turned around with an apologetic smile and nodded in greeting, and then rushed in like a gust of wind.
Seeing that his mother-in-law finally seemed to be interested, Jin Liu led Tao Hong inside and asked insinuatingly what post he was sending. Hearing that it was a post about a banquet at Kuiyuan House three days later, he was shocked. Until Tao Hong
Hong walked through the second door and saw Mrs. Jin Liu coming out of the main room with a smile and asking people to come in. He pricked the palm of his hand with his nails to confirm that it was not a dream.
Mr. Xu and the others clearly don’t want Xu Xun to show his face, but Xu Xun hasn’t even given him any gifts. Are they really trying to get hold of Mr. Xu Liu?
In the main room, I saw Tao Hong again. Xu Xun took the post, but did not let him go immediately. Instead, he talked to him gently. With the old feelings from yesterday at the official house of Yingtian Mansion, although it was a trick,
Not much information came out, but at least I knew that this post was ordered by Zhu Sihai immediately after he left Xu You's study last night.
With an open heart, he was thinking as he spoke. When Tao Hong said that he would rush back to serve the young master while he was studying, he suddenly smiled and said, "Uncle Liu is an elegant man. Since he gave you the name Tao Hong, it is enough for you.
It’s different. You have to put your spirits down when you go back. Don’t live up to the expectations. Follow the young master and study hard and learn to read.”
Tao Hong was young, not to mention he didn't dare to show off his arrogance in front of the old master, but he was also like a mouse meeting a cat in front of Zhu Sihai. This was the first time he heard such praise and expectation from Xu Xun, so his face turned red for a moment, okay
After a long while, he said nonchalantly: "Seventh Young Master, I...I haven't even fully understood the Three Character Classic yet..."
Chen Yan had already understood the young man's temperament from Tao Hong's unusual reaction when he last mentioned Xu Tao's gift. After raising his eyebrows, he gestured for him to wait, and then stood up and went to the east room.
After a while, he came out with two books, waved Tao Hong over, and handed him three books. He smiled and said: "One is "The Three-Character Classic", one is "The Thousand-Character Classic", and the other is "The Thousand-Character Classic".
"Hundred Family Surnames" is what is commonly known as the Three Treasures of Preschool Education. Take it back and read it slowly."
It was common to get some rewards for running errands on weekdays, but this was the first time for others to give books. Therefore, after receiving the three heavy books, Tao Hong was so excited that his face turned red, and he suddenly knelt down and knelt down three times.
When Xu Xun reached out to help him, he had already finished kowtowing and got up. He held the book close to his chest and said quietly: "Thank you very much, Master Seven. Don't worry, I will return it to you after reading it!"
"It doesn't matter, it won't matter how long it takes."
"Thank you very much, Master Seventh..." Tao Hong couldn't find any other words to say, so he thanked him again, and then said sarcastically, "I have to serve the young master when I go back, so I can't stay for a long time... However, Master Seventh, please be more careful. I heard that...
The master encouraged my master and said that at the banquet in Kuiyuan Building, all the young masters would give their own gifts, and my master has already agreed."
Xu Xun smiled and nodded, and then said: "Thank you for reminding me. Sixth Uncle has been promoted, and you are naturally busy, so I won't keep you. Ruisheng, give Tao Hong a gift."
Ruisheng had been standing beside him in silence. When he heard the order, he hurried forward to open the curtain and send it off. Seeing Tao Hong saying goodbye with great gratitude, Xu Xun leaned back on the chair and couldn't think about it.
Got up.
Counting the time and days on his fingers, he stood up and went back to the west room, rummaging around in the cabinet to find a robe that he planned to change into. However, he overestimated his hands-on ability after all.
It was cumbersome to wear a robe with a slanted lapel on the right side, let alone a belt. It wasn't until he heard movement behind him, turned his head and saw Ruisheng entering the room that he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly gestured for him to come up and help.
Ruisheng silently served Xu Xun to put on his robe. He raised his head several times and wanted to say something, but stopped when he reached his mouth. When he saw Xu Xun was getting ready to go out, he finally couldn't help it anymore and stepped in front of Xu Xun.
forward.
"Master, last night was all my fault. I shouldn't have shed tears, let alone said those words to you...Don't, don't drive me away!"
This sudden scene made Xu Xun's eyes widen for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh. He stretched out his hand to press Ruisheng's head, which was half lower than his own, and suddenly rubbed it twice vigorously, and scolded angrily.
: "Who said I would drive you away?"
"Ah!" Although he said he shouldn't shed tears just now, Ruisheng's eyes were already a little red at this moment. He looked at Xu Xun uneasily. When he was sure that his young master was not joking, he immediately turned from worry to joy, and then stopped.
He said with embarrassment, "I'm just afraid that the young master will think I'm useless, and unlike Brother Jin Liu, who knows how to drive a car and inquire about information..."
"He has his uses, and you have your abilities." Xu Xun has been born in two generations. Although he looks about the same age as Ruisheng on the outside, he treats this young man as his younger brother in his heart. After thinking about this,
He nodded and said, "Come on, I don't want you to stay at home alone and think about it, come with me to go out!"
Seeing Xu Xun put down these words and walked straight out, Ruisheng was stunned and hurriedly chased after him: "Master, where are you going?"
"shop!"
