As he spoke, a 15 or 16-year-old boy rushed over from the garden road and went to Zheng Yuanshuo to cross his hands to greet him, and happened to separate Zheng Yuanshuo and Xun Qingran from his master and servant.

When Zheng Yuanshuo saw someone coming, he put away his hairpin. No matter what, he was not good, but his face was already a little displeasure.

"Ah, second brother, have you gone to the county town? What's the matter with me?"

The young man is Zheng Yuanshuo's cousin Zheng Yuanlang. He did not answer Zheng Yuanshuo directly, but smiled and said, "Brother, brother, I just came from outside the door, and Shoucai was looking for the eldest brother outside the second door, saying that there was something urgent."

Shoucai was Zheng Yuanshuo's eldest follower. He specially managed some shameful activities for Zheng Yuanshuo. Zheng Yuanshuo's first confidant. When Zheng Yuanshuo heard that Shoucai had something urgent to look for him, he felt reluctant to leave.

He was sent to study by his mother and was not willing to do so. Unexpectedly, since he got this, his uncle Xun's family just spoke harshly and did not care much about him. His aunt Fang was better at him, and he was more comfortable than when he was at home.

There is even an unexpected good thing. Although this place is in the countryside, it is a bit beautiful because of its good water and soil. The Xun family is a wealthy family, and several girls are all very beautiful, and even among the servants, there are many outstanding people. Therefore, his days are really like fish in water, and studying is just a cover.

However, the other girls in the Xun family were willing to get close to him. But the third girl was always indifferent. When she first came, she could meet her sisters, but later, for some reason, she couldn't even meet her.

Zheng Yuanshuo felt that Xun Qingran's face was always dumb and rarely spoke, but she was still outstanding in appearance. Today, she accidentally saw her smiling face, and was immediately shocked. Because Xun Qingran couldn't leave the house, Fang spoiled him, and he couldn't really go to the girl's boudoir. He was afraid that he wouldn't have the chance to get close to him in the future, so he always wanted to take this opportunity to impress Xun Qingran. When he thought, everyone who saw gold felt friendly. If he had gold, others should naturally be kind to him.

Zheng Yuanlang seemed to have no idea what Zheng Yuanshuo was thinking, so he just urged him to leave.

"Brother, go quickly. It's important to me to guard money. If it's delayed, I will regret it."

Zheng Yuanshuo stood there without moving, thinking that he wanted to say a few words to Xun Qingran. Zheng Yuanlang had already bowed to Xun Qingran in a proper manner, "Sister Ran, my brother and I have something to do, let's go first."

Xun Qingran bowed his knees and returned the salute, and Zheng Yuanlang pulled Zheng Yuanshuo along with his arms and pushed and pulled the ground all the way.

Seeing that the Zheng brothers left, Xun Qingran breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zheng Yuanlang took Zheng Yuanshuo away, otherwise... Xun Qingran glanced around and saw a figure of Taoist flashing on the narrow gate. Xun Qingran paused.

Baozhu saw the sharp eyes, and whispered, "It seems that Sister Caohua, she flashed over the other side of the door and disappeared."

Xun Qingran remembered it in her heart and did not stay in the garden for more time. She went directly to the back door of the garden. There was only a half-deaf woman guarding the door. Kikyo stepped forward and stuffed a few big money into the hands of the woman.

"Madam Lu, our girl is going to the crabapple garden of the third master's house. She will pick a few crabapple trees and put them in the bottle. Please keep watching the door."

Mr. Xun had three brothers, and they had already separated. Mr. Xun lived in the residence of the chief, so he occupied the old house. Mr. Xun's yard was just west of the old house, with only a crossroads. People from the Xun family generally said Mr. Xun's house, which is called the East Mansion. When it comes to Mr. Xun's house, it is called the West Mansion. The West Mansion was originally separated from the back garden of the East Mansion, so the middle road was also owned by the Xun family, and there were no idle people walking around.

After leaving the garden gate, only a few steps away, it was the Begonia Garden in Xifu. When the family was separated, the Third Master valued the Begonia Garden and did not care about the size of the house in Xifu. There was a small building in the Begonia Garden for people to rest in the garden. The Third Master took over the West Mansion and placed the books in the small building. Later, he purchased many rare books one after another, and mentioned a plaque, calling the small building a library.

When the third master was in office, he took over his family and handed over the Western Palace to several reliable servants to take care of him. Kikyo's uncle and grandfather's family were responsible for taking care of the Haitang Garden and the library.

When he arrived at the gate of Haitang Garden, Kikyo stepped forward and knocked twice. The door opened in response. A round apple face stuck out of the door. He saw Xun Qingran at first sight, and immediately smiled and did not speak. He opened the door and greeted the master and servant.

When Xun Qingran stood still, the girl closed the door and came to see her. The girl was under ten years old and had a pair of buns on her head. She loved to laugh very much. When she smiled, she was very likable. She was the granddaughter of Manager Han who was taking care of the Begonia Garden and was cousin of Kikyo.

"I'm sorry to you again, Xiaotang. Have you been waiting here early in the morning?" Xun Qingran pulled up the little girl and asked with a smile.

Xiaotang shook his head, smiling a little shyly.

Kikyo stepped forward and pulled Xiaotang's hand.

"Xiaotang, who is in the garden?"

Xiaotang pointed to the depths of Haitang Garden with his hand, screamed twice, and gestured with his hands. Kikyo nodded to show that he understood.

"Only the fourth uncle is pruning flowers and trees inside. Xiaotang has already told her grandfather about what we are going to do, so that the girl can play around."

Xun Qingran nodded and saw that it was still early, so she walked slowly step by step. The scenery in the garden is different from that in the East Mansion. There are no flowers and trees, but crabapples are planted everywhere. The crabapples are red and white, red like fire and white like snow. There are also stone tables, stone benches, small bridges and pavilions in the garden, all of which are very small and exquisite.

The library is built in Haitang Forest, which is a two-story brick and wood building. The second floor is the library, and the first floor is the study. Xun Qingran entered the study and just sat down, Baozhu came to report that it was the second master who was here.

The door curtain was raised, and a young man walked in in a small step. A handsome face with a childish face, with his clear eyebrows and eyes drooping, showing a dull look, without the vitality that a young man should have.

Xun Qingran burst out laughing and pointed at the young man and said angrily: "Ahui, look at you, like a little old man. There are no outsiders here, so don't pretend."

After hearing this, Xun Junhui's eyebrows and eyes suddenly stretched out, and the dull anger on his face swept away, and it seemed like he had changed his body in an instant.

"Sister made fun of me again... I was called to me by my husband and I was too late to finish my studies. I told me to wait for a long time." Xun Junhui bowed to Xun Qingran.

Xun Qingran stood up, held Xun Junhui's hand, and asked him to sit down beside the desk.

"I'm here too. Look at you're so anxious. Sit down and take a break."

Xun Junhui sat down as he said, stood up again, and took out a very sleek and greasy bag from his sleeve.

"My sister loves to eat steamed Polygonum multiflorum cake from Guchengzhai. Two days ago, someone from Junxi's family went to Juncheng City, so I asked him to bring some for me and give it to my sister."

Xun Junhui said as he opened the paper bag. This steamed Polygonum multiflorum cake is a specialty of Yingchuan County City, and is the most famous of Guchengzhai. Because of its fine selection and complexity, Guchengzhai only steams a few cages every day, so it is even more famous. This Polygonum multiflorum cake is made of glutinous rice flour, Polygonum multiflorum powder and date paste, and steamed in a cage. The general Polygonum multiflorum cake is a reddish-brown piece of steamed. The Polygonum multiflorum cake in Guchengzhai has three distinct colors, the top layer is black, the middle layer is red, and the bottom layer is white. The color is beautiful, the entrance is soft and smooth, and it is very sweet because of the addition of osmanthus nectar. Xun Qingran likes to eat this very much, but he cannot eat it from time to time. Although the Xun family is a well-known family.

Baozhu and Xiaotang brought the boiled water in, and Xun Qingran washed his hands with Xun Junhui first. At this time, Platycodon had already brewed tea and brought it to the two of them.

Xun Qingran opened the food box, which contained the cut sponge cake. She spent money to buy eggs and other ingredients with the kitchen people, and made it in the small tea room in her yard, and specially brought it to her brother for food.

Xun Qingran asked Platycodon to put a few pieces of two pastries on the plate and gave them to Xiaotang and his family. He picked up a large sponge cake and handed it to Xun Junhui. Xun Junhui also picked up a piece of Polygonum multiflorum cake and handed it over. The brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled, each of them felt warm, and they started to eat the pastries in tea.

While drinking tea, Xun Qingran looked at her younger brother. Because of the same mother, the eyebrows and eyes were very similar. Xun Junhui had just turned thirteen years old and was almost as tall as Xun Qingran. Due to the environment, he had to look old and dull in front of outsiders. Only when he came to her would he show his true nature.

This child was raised by her. Xun Qingran felt a little distressed and proud.

Four years ago, she came here for no reason, witnessed the murder, lay on the bed for more than ten days, slowly accepting the fact of traveling through time, but she was unwilling to do so. That day, while she was unprepared, she ran out of the house, walked around the base of the wall, and took a branch childishly and beat the passing flowers and plants to vent her anger. She happened to walk to a small courtyard against the wall, and heard a woman cursing inside, and turned curiously.

A middle-aged woman with a white powder on her face and a very rich figure was holding a bowl of rice in one hand and pushing a little boy with the other, and she kept scolding her.

"Oh, young master, you also let me save my wives worry. That is, you have a good life and your wife is from a family and has a good heart, so she praised you like this. Look at what you wear on you, what is not what your wife pays for you to buy. Isn't it just that she eats sand from the meal and makes this happen, and she even loses her temper with me. You really think that you are a master."

The little boy was only six or seven years old. His little face was not thin, but he was shaking. His little body was pushed by the old man's big hands. The woman was scolding and splashed everywhere, and many of them were sprayed on the child's face, but the child did not dare to hide.

The old lady poured the rice to the ground, and another fat hand patted the child's back a few times. Her hand was quite strong, and Xun Qingran could still hear the child's back being beaten apart for a distance. The child could not stand it and was beaten forward and almost fell to the ground. The old lady picked up the rice with one hand. "Young Master, be careful and look at the road. This good clothes are valuable. If you break it, you have to pay for it. ... The master and the wife both taught to cherish food. The young master deducted this bowl of good white rice on the ground. If the above knows, you have to beat the board. Listen to the wet nurse, eat the food well, and the wet nurse will not tell you."

As the old woman said, she forced the child to go to eat the food on the ground. The child was holding his neck and refused to submit.
