On this day, Xu Yu ran to Mu Lanxiang's room in a huff, sat opposite and didn't say a word.

Lan Xiang thought he had been scolded, and asked softly, "Why are you angry?" Did the old lady say anything about you? ”

"It's not." Xu Yu said sullenly: "The third master rewarded me with a lot of things, and it was the uncle who called me over today." He shouldn't have sold my pen and ink for money, does my writing stink like this? It's fifty million taels of silver, and I don't care about it. ”

Lan Xiang didn't understand what she heard, and asked with a smile: "I don't understand this, why does the uncle want to sell your pen and ink for money?" ”

It turned out that Xu Wen called his nephew over today and said in a low voice: "I didn't call you for anything else, I was angry for your younger brother, and as a result, I was dismissed from my official position. The commander told me to say, 'Because I am not from a right path, the scholars look down on me, and I have been thinking for half a year and finally come up with a way, but I can't do it. ’

I'm going to do what I like, don't I? Just casually ask what the method is. The commander said: "I want to engrave a book of poems, but I am from a martial arts background, there is no ink in my chest, and below are some vulgar martial artists or half-footed cat master scribes, and it is not good to invite outsiders, once the news leaks, it is even more inappropriate." ’

At that time, I saw that it meant to ask me to ghostwrite, but I couldn't refuse, but when the commander saw that I was silent, he came over to me and said: 'Brother Xu, you are middle-aged and refuse to help me do this, I heard that Ling's nephew's pen and ink are good, and everyone recommends him, can you trouble Ling's nephew to ghostwrite for my brother?' I know that he is the second son of the Guogong Mansion, but isn't Enke not selected? Presumably, the third master will not show favoritism for his son, so why not let me save a reputation for him? Isn't it great. ’”

When Mu Lanxiang heard this, her eyes widened, her face was incredible, and she said, "Could it be that Uncle just agreed?" ”

Xu Yu smiled bitterly: "Uncle said that he knew that I disdained this, so he quit." But the commander of Narauszi said, 'Don't be famous, brother, then seal a pen of five thousand taels and send it.' This collection of poems doesn't have to be good. It's not like a brother to do it, and it doesn't need much, there are so many dozens, just publish a book. ”

"Oh." Lan Xiang understood, and couldn't help but say angrily: "It must be that the uncle himself wants to be reinstated, and he doesn't want to be famous." ”

Xu Yu smiled more and more bitterly: "Uncle said that I spend money all day long, and I can't earn a single penny, and I get back the whole five thousand taels, so that my grandmother and my mother will be happy, so I agreed." What can I say? ”

Mu Lanxiang laughed and said, "If you want to say that you have any good words that can be sold for this money?" Five thousand taels! ”

"Five thousand taels of silver, I look at it as a pile of cow dung." Xu Yu lost his temper and said hatefully: "You are here too." Good, good! Ming'er will bring the silver to make your bed, and you will all sleep in the pile of gold and silver. ”

Lan Xiang was ridiculed by him, and suddenly blushed, and said angrily: "You are angry outside." Why are you vomiting with me? "Then he secretly said that he has never been angry with me since he was a child, and since Sister Mingzhi came, he has been so temperamental to me, why should I be accommodating to him?

Thinking about it, Lan Xiang's eyes couldn't help but turn red. Turn around and pick up a handkerchief to wipe away tears. Xu Yu saw her crying at a glance, knowing that he was too willful, and hurriedly apologized sweetly.

After making trouble for a while, Lan Xiang has a gentle temperament. Soon came back to his thoughts, and felt that he was wrong to blame him, and saw Yu'er next to him next to him, a good sister on the left and a good sister on the right. couldn't help laughing, and said angrily: "What sister and sister? When you are angry with others, you will lose your temper at me, and today I will not meet you in general, and I will not take an example. Hum! ”

"Okay, okay!" Xu Yu agreed without a word, and said: "You said that they used money to buy my poems, what did they think of me as a thing?" ”

Lan Xiang smiled: "Then you can't be angry, people are willing to spend money, do you think you are very capable?" The drunkard's intention is not to drink, naturally it is to slap the uncle, so you don't take the money, please ask the uncle and his old man to decide. But since you agreed, you still have to write the poem, and for the sake of your elders, you follow his wishes. If you don't like to do this poem, I will make it for you tomorrow. ”

"Look." Xu Yu was almost angry, and took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, "Then what kind of commander still has a topic." ”

Lan Xiang took it and took a look, and saw what was written "Enter the palace to face the saint", what "to sit at the same table with a certain minister", and what "Blessed Longevity Dictionary" and so on, laughed and said: "Laughing to death, I don't do this, or ask Jasper and them to make a few prevarications and prevarications, you can also prevaricate at will, and those topics such as the four seasons and the scene, I will do it for you, and there are also Sister Mingzhi." ”

"I don't dare to bother you." Xu Yu also smiled: "My daughter's pen and ink compose poems for these things? I'm not happy to try to stain my pen, so I'll do it all by myself. By the way, the weather is nice today, so how about we have a glass of wine on this bed? ”

Lan Xiang took a sip, and said with a crimson face: "You speak carefully, you are talking nonsense, be careful that I annoy you again." ”

Xu Yu shouted: "Why did the girl break up with me? Didn't we eat and sleep together? ”

"Phew!" Lan Xiang shyly pushed him with her hand, "I was ignorant when I was a child, and now you want to take advantage of me, you can't." ”

However, Xu Yu was arguing that he had to eat and drink, but Lan Xiang couldn't help him, so he had to eat a small glass with him.

At the same time, Xu Xuan's maid Huazhu squatted under the eaves of the octagonal glazed pavilion in the courtyard, lit a fire in a copper furnace, used a silver hanger, and was boiling lotus seed soup. She dragged a big red silk, half on the ground, and said: "The young master seems to be drunk today, looking at us vigorously, laughing alone for no reason, strange!" ”

Another big girl Baozhu teased: "I heard from my aunt yesterday that I will accept you in the autumn." ”

"Phew!" Not to be outdone, Huazhu said: "If you want to accept it, you will be accepted first, who is as smart and beautiful as you, and will stammer, but I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for autumn." ”

"you." Baozhu pushed with his hand, and sat on the ground on his back, with his feet facing the sky, almost knocking over the lotus seed soup.

Huazhu got up and reached out to press Baozhu's shoulder, wanting to fall down her, making a fuss and the second daughter hugged and laughed.

At this time, the maid Aizhu walked in the room and said, "Don't make trouble, it's getting late, and you have to pass Hu Sheng in." ”

Baozhu asked, "What did you call Hu Sheng to do?" ”

"What do I know?" Aizhu pursed her lips, she was wearing clogs, walked fast, made a creaking sound, and explained to the mother-in-law in charge at the door.

The mother-in-law then came out and went to the courtyard of Xu Xuan's follower in the outer house, found Hu Sheng, and shouted from afar: "The young master called you." ”

Hu Sheng was enjoying the shade in the courtyard, farting and chatting with Shao Er and others, and there were a few Xiaomo standing next to him, bringing them tea and water.

Under Shao Er's jealous gaze, Hu Sheng hurriedly put on a long shirt, tied his belt, found a small bright corner lamp and lit it, followed his mother-in-law to register at the Hanging Flower Gate, and entered the main garden to Xu Xuan's courtyard.

He didn't stop until he walked to the octagonal glazed pavilion, and greeted Aizhu and the other four maids, sisters, and sisters one by one, and asked, "What's the matter with the young master?" ”

Aizhu lifted the silk yarn lamp in her hand, shone it on Hu Sheng's face, and asked with a smile: "Your face is red, are you eating wine again?" Be careful to go in and touch the nails. ”

Hu Sheng smiled: "I didn't drink, your lantern is red, why do my sisters always think that we are stealing wine and eating outside?" ”

"Who cares about you?" Aizhu turned around and walked in, "Hu Sheng is here." ”

Hu Sheng walked in, Xu Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed of the drunkard, and said, "Master Xia is back, right?" I'm going to have something to say. ”

Hu Sheng hurriedly said: "It's late, seeing that the main garden is going to be locked, and all doors will be locked later, there is nothing important, let's talk about it tomorrow morning." Besides, I had to open two or three doors in the past, and it was almost night when I went to invite him, and Master Xia lived far away now, so he must have to rest in peace. ”

Xu Xuan thought about it, in fact, it didn't matter, it was just that Master Xia was begged by him for the third grandfather, and he became a master in Xifu again, and he wanted to go over to chat with him, so he said: "Then forget it." By the way, when I listened to the drama at home that day, it was the first time I saw my uncle's troupe, why hadn't I seen it before? ”

"The young master is talking about Qin Yan, right?" Hu Sheng smiled and explained: "The team has been raised for many years, and they will come to ask for peace every month, but they don't remember it in the number book, and the young master is just young." It's that Qin Yan, I remember that her master also brought her here, and she is not qualified to come in. ”

Xu Xuan asked, "Whose apprentice is Qin Yan?" ”

"Changqing's apprentice." Hu Sheng replied.

"Changqing?" Xu Xuan was a little surprised, "Wasn't your original master named Changqing?" ”

"Yes!" Hu Sheng said: "Changqing's temper is not good, I can't stand it and run back." He later chose Xiufang, and Xiufang became a teacher, so he bought Qinyan, but it was only more than half a year. I'm still Qin Yan's senior brother, hehe! ”

"Hmm." Xu Xuan said for a while, and suddenly said, "You have persuaded me to move to Yisu Garden several times, but I am not rare." What do you think of this Qin Yan? ”

Hu Sheng was stunned for a moment and didn't speak. Xu Xuan asked again, and Hu Sheng frowned and said, "It's good, but people are loved by the lord of Dongfu, and they never come out to socialize." ”

Xu Xuan said: "Uncle likes Xiufang, not her." ”

Hu Sheng said: "I heard that she is similar to Xiufang's favor, and I also heard that the eldest master has spent thousands of silver on her. ”

Xu Xuan lowered his head and was silent, and said after a while: "Everyone praised Qin Yan for singing well that day, and when I heard it, it was really so, and I saw that she was born well, and she was close to her, but I didn't expect it to be my uncle's personal favorite." ”

"It doesn't seem like that." Hu Sheng felt that he would be wrong, and chuckled: "The bottom of it is fine, and the small ones don't know it." But the little one knows that the eldest master has not been close to the people in the troupe for many years because of the events of the year, otherwise why would Xiufang be allowed to go out to sing? ”

Xu Xuan became happy, got out of bed and said to the unhappy Sizhu maid: "Don't misunderstand me, I don't have bad thoughts, I just see Qin Yan's play singing well." (To be continued......)
