Seeing this, the servants were so angry that they wanted to beat it with a broom. Xu Jiang quickly restrained it, slapped its butt and ran away.
"As soon as you get out, you get sick and get into trouble."
Xu Jiang cursed, but a smile played on her face. She had been feeling suffocated in the house for the past few days, and not only did the donkey need to have some fun, she needed some fun too.
Arriving at Uncle Cao's door, the first person he saw was not Uncle Cao, but Lu Zhen, who was limping along, carrying a small broom and slowly sweeping the snow in front of the door.
"Hey, can you get out of bed now?"
When he saw Xu Jiang, he was first happy, then shy, and then he bowed to her respectfully.
Zhuang heard the voice and came out from the courtyard, smiling and saying, "The boss is here?"
Lu Zhen was about to help Xu Jiang lead the donkey, but Xu Jiang quickly stopped him, "Your leg looks fine now, don't try to pull it. This donkey is stubborn, and it might hurt you if it hits you."
"Ever since the doctor said he could get out of bed, the child can't sit still. He runs to the door every day to see if you're here."
Xu Jiang got off the donkey, patted his head, and said apologetically, "I've been busy lately and have been delayed. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Lu Zhen shook his head and whispered, "I've finished reading 'Youxue Qionglin'."
"Then I'm going to test you later to see if you've been lazy."
"good."
Zhuang went to tie up the donkey, and Xu Jiang led Lu Zhen to the yard. Cao Dali and Cao Shu were doing carpentry work in the yard, and were a little surprised to see the two of them come in.
Uncle Cao asked, "Why are you here today? Has the boss finished engraving the plates?"
"Now that the carving is done, come and see Lu Zhen."
Cao Dali laughed and said, "He keeps talking about you. If you don't come, I'll take a stool and wait in front of the square gate."
Lu Zhen blushed and said nothing.
"Why don't I see Aunt Cao? Is she out?"
Uncle Cao said, "She's in the room. Wang Chan is here. The mother and daughter are having a private conversation. She should be out soon."
"Wang Chan? That's not Brother Xu San's... Oh, the marriage certificate!" Xu Jiang slapped his head, remembering that he had to write a marriage certificate for Xu San. "I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot about it."
"There are still a few days left. There's still time."
"It's a good thing you came today, otherwise I would have missed the opportunity." Xu Jiang thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask someone else to write the marriage certificate for my third brother. His handwriting is better than mine."
Uncle Cao asked curiously, "Who?"
Xu Jiang brought Lu Zhen to her, pinched his face, and said, "Little Lu Zhen's future teacher."
Uncle Cao and Cao Dali both said happily, "Have you found the person?"
Xu Jiang nodded and said, "I've found someone. He's Master Lin from the Nanshan Academy in Taixianfang."
The father and son knew little about studying, so they relied entirely on Xu Jiang for advice.
Uncle Cao smiled and said, "The person the boss is looking for must be good. Let's prepare the tuition and choose a day to go and meet him."
"Don't worry, let me go talk to Master Lin first. There's still some time before the Spring Festival. It won't be too late to go and see him once Lu Zhen's injury is fully healed."
"Okay, okay." Cao Dali said gratefully, "Then I'll trouble you, Master."
As they were talking, Aunt Cao came out of the house with a lady.
Seeing Xu Jiang was also happy, Aunt Cao pretended to be angry and said, "The boss hasn't come over recently. Is he tired of eating my cooking?"
"No, I missed the dishes cooked by my aunt so much that I brought them here." Xu Jiang apologized hastily, but his eyes could not help but look at the lady. Seeing her bright eyes and cheerful smile, he knew that she was a hot-tempered person.
Sure enough, before Aunt Cao could introduce herself, she came over, took Xu Jiang's hand, and said with a smile, "This must be Madam Xu, right? I've always heard everyone mention you, and today I finally see the real Buddha."
Xu Jiang also smiled and said, "I guess this must be Sister-in-law Wang Chan. Nice to meet you, Sister-in-law."
Wang Chan blushed immediately when she called her "sister-in-law", but she couldn't help but feel closer to her in her heart.
They chatted animatedly for a while. Lu Zhen wanted to ask about homework, but he got impatient waiting and shook Xu Jiang's hand.
Learning is important.
Aunt Cao quickly escorted the two into the house, brought them tea and snacks, and then took her daughter-in-law and Wang Chan into the kitchen.
After a while, the yard became quiet, with only the sound of the carpenter planing wood and Lu Zhen reading aloud.
