Chapter 229 Other Elders
Shi Zelan told him shyly: "I was born strong."
The young man looked at Shi Zelan with pity, and then kindly said to her: "Xiao Lanzi, when you return to your hometown in the future, you must not act so strong."
Shi Zelan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood the young man's intention. She smiled and nodded, saying, "This time it was an accident. I am a very quiet person at other times."
The young people believed what Shi Zelan said. When they delivered the things to Xiao Yingzi's home, they knew that only one bag of vegetables belonged to Shi Zelan, so they looked at Xiao Yingzi with a different look.
Aunt Liu understood the looks of the two young men and said with a smile, "Come in and have a cup of tea. I was just about to ask Brother Yingzi to go out and pick someone up."
The two young men went into the yard to drink tea, and Shi Zelan said directly to Aunt Liu: "Aunt, I want to process this bag of vegetables according to Xiao Yingzi's method."
Shi Zelan turned and walked into her own yard. The two young men naturally had a closer relationship with Aunt Liu.
At this time, they said to Aunt Liu, "Aunt, you don't have to worry about Xiaoyingzi and Xiaolanzi going out in the future.
Xiaolanzi said that she was born strong and everyone usually looked down on her. ”
Aunt Liu secretly glared at Xiao Yingzi and said with a smile: "Xiao Lanzi is a quiet child. This time it was my Xiao Yingzi who dragged her down.
When you are carrying these things to others outside, please help us tell them that these packages look big but are actually not very heavy, so Xiao Lanzi can carry them. ”
The two young men understood what Aunt Liu meant and said, "Aunt, neither of us are talkative people.
Once we leave your yard, we will never mention anything about Xiaoyingzi and Xiaolanzi again. ”
Aunt Liu felt relieved because she knew the character of the two young men.
After the two young men left, she pointed her finger at Xiao Yingzi and said, "You naughty child, why did you buy so many vegetables at once?"
"Mother, can you please check if the food is fresh?"
Aunt Liu saw that the vegetables were indeed very fresh and the price was cheaper than usual, so she understood Xiao Yingzi's intention.
She looked at Xiao Yingzi and sighed, "You're lucky this time, but don't do such greedy things in the future."
Xiao Yingzi blushed and said, "Mother, I originally wanted Xiao Lanzi to watch over the vegetables. I came in and asked Mother and Brother to help move the vegetables."
Aunt Liu asked Xiao Yingzi curiously, "Is Xiao Lanzi really that strong?"
Xiao Yingzi nodded affirmatively: "I was out of breath just carrying a bag of vegetables while chasing her, but she didn't have a single sweat mark on her face while carrying so many."
"No wonder her master is so confident in letting her live with her two brothers. She is not an ordinary little girl."
"She must be extraordinary. Xiaolanzi knows a lot of things."
"I wonder what kind of family a little girl like her will marry into in the future?"
Aunt Liu couldn't help but say something, Xiao Yingzi looked at her for a while, then whispered: "I don't think Xiao Lanzi wants to get married."
"She is young now and has so much strength, so naturally she doesn't want to get married.
After a few years, when she is older, she will realize the benefits of getting married. ”
"Mother, what are the benefits of getting married?
After you married my father, you have been busy from morning to night. In the past, you had to obey my grandfather's arrangements in everything. ”
Aunt Liu said unhappily, "Women must get married when they grow up. Do you think staying at home will ruin the marriage of the sisters in your clan?"
Xiao Yingzi didn't dare to say anything and looked at Aunt Liu: "Mother, I didn't say I won't get married."
“You don’t have to rush to get married. You didn’t act so boldly today. I was thinking of talking to someone about you by the end of the year.
If you do this, your marriage will have to be postponed.
You stupid child, if you act foolishly like this again next time, I will not let you go. ”
Shi Zelan cleaned the vegetables in the yard, took them out and placed them in a winnowing basket to dry them.
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu had heard the noise in the next yard. They both shook their heads at Shi Zelan and said, "You were also too impulsive."
Shi Zelan touched his head a little embarrassedly: "I won't act so rashly next time."
She casually asked about the situation of the candidate and found out that there was nothing serious wrong with the candidate, he was just too tired and needed to have a good rest for two days.
She felt much more relieved, and then said with some disdain: "I usually see scholars with very dignified manners, but after they come out of the exam, they all become a bunch of smelly men."
"They have to live and take exams in a small room for nine days. It's normal for it to stink."
"Is there anything that doesn't stink?"
Shi Xiaoliu listened to Shi Zelan's words and smiled: "At least before we left, the scholars who came out had a smell of sweat on their bodies."
While they were talking, there was a knock on the gate of the courtyard, and Shi Zelan and Xia Yu looked at Shi Xiaoliu at the same time.
He had to get up and open the yard door, and then Shi Zelan and Xia Yu in the yard heard the sound of kowtow outside the yard door.
The two of them hurried to the gate of the yard and saw two half-grown children kowtowing to Shi Xiaoliu. They hurried over and helped the two half-grown children up.
"Brother Xiaoliu, please save our father. He has a fever now."
Shi Xiaoliu looked at the faces of the two half-grown children, thought for a moment and said, "Don't be anxious. Explain your thoughts clearly."
The older boy cried and said, “My father came home from the examination room and told us to cook for ourselves as he wanted to take a nap.
But he slept for a long time. I went in to see him and found that he had a fever. I went to the pharmacy to call a doctor, but there were no doctors in the nearby pharmacies.
I heard from one of my brothers that Brother Xiaoliu can also treat illnesses. I beg Brother Xiaoliu to save our father. We are both willing to serve you like slaves. ”
Shi Xiaoliu turned and walked into the yard. Shi Zelan said to the two half-grown children, "Don't cry. Your father will definitely get better."
Xia Yu secretly tugged at Shi Zelan's sleeve, and Shi Zelan whispered to him, "Coothe them first, or the older ones won't get well, and the younger ones will get sick too."
Shi Xiaoliu took out a bamboo box and said to the two half-grown children, "Let's go."
He said to Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, you stay at home. Xia Yu and I will go there."
Shi Zelan nodded. After Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu followed the two children away, the neighbor who came over after hearing the crying sighed.
Shi Zelan asked curiously: "Uncle, are these two children's life stories very pitiful?"
“Not too pathetic.
It’s just that their mother passed away a few years ago, and their father was originally going to take the imperial examination that year, so he postponed it to this time. ”
Shi Zelan thought of the two children's sincere feelings and said, "They have a good relationship between father and son. Don't they have other elders who can come forward to invite people?"
