Chapter 6 It's a pity that the bad news is unreasonable
After being raised for more than ten days, Xu Xun's injuries gradually formed scars, but after all, he was seriously injured before, and the rescue trip was a big effort, but he was still quite weak. So he made a plan
He followed a strict work and rest schedule. For the next few days, he would get up early every day and do some Tai Chi, and then jog dozens of times around the yard. When he was sweating profusely, he would immediately take a shower and change clothes.
Other times, as if he didn't know the bad news, he would either talk to Xu Liang or let Ruisheng take him out for a walk. Although he always passed through other people's houses without getting in, at least he got to know the heads of those relatives and clansmen. He even got to know them.
He even looked at the clan school he once attended from a distance.
He suddenly changed his living habits. Ruisheng didn't mind it, but Mrs. Jin Liu, who was in charge of washing, boiling, cooking and other chores, was a little overwhelmed. She often muttered behind her back. On this day, after collecting the pile of clothes full of sweat and odor,
After that, she couldn't bear it anymore and went directly to Xu Xun to complain.
"Master, it's not that I'm lazy. It's not summer yet. These clothes are washed every day. Not to mention the fade, I'm afraid I won't be able to wear them for a long time. Also, this day is weird this year. In previous years, I didn't know it would fall at this time.
It rains a lot, but since spring this year, we haven’t even seen a drop of rain a few times. Although our family has dug a deep well early, we can’t keep wasting it like this. Besides, the price of charcoal for boiling water is already more expensive than before.
More than 10%..."
Because he heard the Jin Liu couple whispering before, Xu Xun had some understanding of Jin Liu's temperament. At this time, his face was already darkened, but as he listened, his expression gradually became a little subtle. When Jin Liu's wife was nagging
After saying that, he thoughtfully did not answer, and only ordered Ruisheng to take a hundred dollars and give it to Sister-in-law Jin Liu. At this time, Sister-in-law Jin Liu, who had been so sweet and sincere just now, was overjoyed and put the money into her arms. She was so grateful.
Thank you for carrying those dirty clothes.
Xu Xun just turned around and entered the east room, and Ruisheng chased him in: "Master, your hands are too loose. One hundred coins can buy a lot of chickens, and four or five buckets of good white rice, so you just gave it to her. Besides,
Winter is almost over, there is no reason why the price of charcoal will increase..."
"I know what you want to say, but are you willing to listen to her nagging every day? Besides, rewarding her with a hundred dollars is not just to silence her. There is some truth in what she said." Xu Xun smiled slightly and saw Ruisheng shrug.
He curled his lips and wanted to talk, so he coughed slightly and changed the topic, "I only have a few sets of clothes throughout the year. It would be a big expense to wash them and make them again. By the way, how much does Songjiang cotton cost on the market today?
?”
"Master, why do you ask this?"
"Just tell me if I ask you."
Seeing that Xu Xun had a serious face, Ruisheng could only say dullly: "I have only arrived in Nanjing not long ago, how could I know this..."
"Then go and find out." Since that day when he asked Jin Liu to inquire about the sixth master of the clan's birthday, Xu Xun noticed that Rui Sheng even walked with his head drooped and listless, so he simply said at this time, "You didn't listen to Jin Liu's sister-in-law
Tell me, clothes fade and get damaged if you wash them frequently, but if you don’t wash them, they will get rotted by sweat. I plan to make a few short-sleeved singlets to wear when I get up early to exercise. You can go outside and have a look to find out the current prices. By the way, rice noodles
Ask about the price."
"Purchasing is usually not Brother Jin Liu's business..." Ruisheng was only halfway through his words, but his eyes immediately lit up, "Don't worry, young master, I understand. I will go immediately and I will never let him take away the young master's money!"
"
Seeing that Ruisheng became energetic all of a sudden, he agreed and ran out of the door quickly. Xu Xun knew the plan and couldn't help but smile. When he turned his head and saw the bookshelf, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. In the past few days, he had only been busy recovering his body, plus he needed to
Thinking about that plan, he didn't have time to look through the things in the house. Now that he had some free time, he should look through them carefully.
Turning around and walking to the bookshelf, he casually removed the dusty books. After opening them one by one, he found that there were four books and five classics. In addition, there were miscellaneous notes on mountains and rivers and geography. In his previous life, he loved literature and history.
, the foundation is not bad, so at this time I simply re-categorized these books and put them away according to the rough classification of the classics and history subsets, thinking about taking the time to read these books.
When he arrived at the high cabinet on the other side, he opened the door and a lot of things inside were smashed on his head. He was so startled that he jumped back in a hurry. The next moment, he heard a crash and a large amount of writing paper.
Mixed with countless dust, it just scattered on the ground. Faced with this situation, he was caught off guard and instinctively called out "Rui Sheng", but no one answered for a long time. Realizing that the person had been sent out by him, he had no choice but to squat on his own.
Get down and pick it up.
After finally clearing away a lot of writing paper, Xu Xun found that the empty space in the high cabinet was the highest floor. At that moment, he was too lazy to climb on the stool to put things back in their place, so he just carried them all in his arms.
On the desk next to the window at the back, he casually pulled out one of the red-painted posters, but when he opened it and took a look, he was stunned for a moment.
He originally thought it was such an ugly calligraphy, but the calligraphy that appeared in front of him, although it cannot be said to be very good, was already quite neat. You must know that when he was the most depressed in his previous life, he relied on the skills he had practiced since childhood.
Calligraphy, and another skill derived from it, allowed him to take revenge, so he didn't have any other eyesight, but he still had some confidence in writing and reading. When he unfolded the calligraphy papers one by one, he saw that except for the copywriting
In addition, there are actually some letters from home that have not yet been sent to my father far away. Each word is written in neat small regular script. Between the lines, the words and sentences are not neat, but their admiration is fully revealed.
"Pity……"
Xu Xun sighed deeply, and finally gave up the plan of burning these things. These calligraphy papers looked like they were from two or three years ago, and besides, he was good at regular script. It was just that his fonts changed as he got older, so it was easy to cover up the past.
Easy. He moved the stool and put the things on the highest part of the cabinet. Then he found the dusty Four Treasures of the Study from the middle floor. After wiping them clean, he put them on the desk one by one. Just after he finished doing this, there was news from outside.
There came a clear shout.
"Hey, is there anyone there?"
Jin Liu had been running around most of the time these days, and Ruisheng was sent out not long after. Jin Liu's sister-in-law had received the reward and had no time to have fun, so how could she bother him? So, puzzled, he simply opened the window, and then
He saw a young man standing in the yard. The young man had pretty features, especially those two curved eyebrows that were particularly cute. However, at first glance, he always felt that something was wrong with him, so after a moment's thought, he opened the door curtain and left the main room.
"How long has it been and you are still enjoying yourself so much?"
Xu Xun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the young man talking to himself as if he knew him. However, the other party didn't give him any time to think about it, and just said in quick succession: "You hang out with those libertines all day long.
Together, there has been a lot of complaints in the Xu family for a long time, and this time you were beaten to death and sent back! Do you know that the clan elders have already discussed expelling you from the clan?"
Looking at the furious young man, Xu Xun finally realized where something was wrong. The young man had pierced ears on his small earlobes, and with his delicate appearance and feminine demeanor, he was obviously Yichai.
And Ben. However, after searching his memory, he could not remember who the other party was, so he could only cough lightly and said: "This little brother, have we met before?"
Seeing that Xu Xun's face was calm after hearing such bad news, the young man was immediately stunned, and then said angrily: "It doesn't matter whether you have seen it or not! Listen, it's not just the Xu clan that is dissatisfied with you.
, your future father-in-law also dislikes you as a prodigal son, and many people in the Xu family are trying to win over him."
Although he had known it for a long time, Xu Xun couldn't help but throw cold water on such an enthusiastic person who came uninvited. He nodded and said with a smile: "I see, thank you for your trouble, brother. But there are other things.
?”
Facing this man who was so nervous that he was almost dull, the young man suddenly felt helpless as he gathered strength and punched the cotton. Looking at Xu Xun's still calm and smiling face, he suddenly turned around angrily and said nothing.
He walked away without saying a word. Looking at the unknown person who came and left quickly, Xu Xun shrugged and turned back to the house. He pulled on his shoes and said to himself as he walked: "It seems that if you have some spare money,
, and we need to hire a concierge to prevent anyone from being able to walk in casually."
