Hurrying to the door of the back house, Xiao Han stretched out his hand and pushed hard. The door was tightly closed and motionless, causing him to shout at the top of his lungs.
After finally going back to my home, I was turned away. What is this?
"who?"
Fortunately, just after Xiao Han finished shouting and did not keep him waiting for too long, an alert voice sounded in the courtyard, and then the closed door shook slightly, and a gap opened in the middle.
Through this gap, you can vaguely see a young girl with a double bun and a delicate face behind the door. At this time, she is looking out with a wary face!
"Xiao Lian, it's me..."
"Ghost!"
After seeing the woman's appearance clearly, Xiao Han replied impatiently, and was about to push the door open! Suddenly, a scream that could break the eardrums suddenly sounded from behind the door! Xiao Han was so scared that he quickly blocked his ears and was shocked.
Watching Xiao Lian screaming and rushing back! At most, in just a blink of an eye, her figure had disappeared without a trace, leaving only Xiao Han, who was messy in the wind, and the ones who were also constantly in the wind.
The swaying door.
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect Xiao Lian not only to run so fast, but also to have such a loud voice! If you don't use this voice as a messenger, it's really useless!"
Looking at the direction where Xiao Lian's figure disappeared, Xiao Han's mouth twitched, and finally he smiled bitterly and walked into the back house.
He has already guessed what happened at home today. For now, he had to find Xue Pan quickly to prevent her from having any problems again.
————————————
"Where is it! Where is the ghost!"
And just when Xiao Han was muttering as he hurried along the path towards Xue Pan's courtyard.
In the garden of the back house.
Xiao Ai was carrying a mallet that he usually used for washing clothes, and was leading several maids who were also carrying clothes drying racks, wooden sticks and other weapons. Under the guidance of Xiao Lian, they walked towards the menacing gate.
As Xue Pan's maid, Xiao Ai has always been bold, otherwise she wouldn't have climbed up a tree when she first met Xiao Han and almost sat him to death!
So after listening to Xiao Lian's cry that there was a ghost outside the door, she was already in a bad mood and picked up the mallet, gritted her teeth and rushed out to see if this so-called "ghost" could withstand the beating!
Can't stand the stick in her hand!
"It's right in front! Xiao Ai, be careful!"
Xiao Lian was really frightened just now, her beautiful face was still pale at this moment! After hearing Xiao Ai's question, she just reached out and pointed forward, but unexpectedly, those beautiful eyes immediately widened again
, a pair of pupils suddenly shrank, becoming as big as the tip of a needle!
"Ghost!!!"
There was another high-pitched scream, but this time it wasn't Xiao Lian's scream!
Because before Xiao Lian could scream this time, Xiao Ai, who was always bold, had already screamed first, then threw down the mallet and ran away!
It wasn't until Xiao Ai escaped without a trace that Xiao Lian, who was stunned on the spot, realized what he was doing, and he also screamed and rushed back with his head covered!
As for the maids who came with them, they didn't know anything. They only saw the eldest sister and the second sister running away like crazy. They were so frightened that they seemed to have seen a ghost. They also screamed and fled in all directions.
!
"Hey...hey!"
In the garden, Xiao Han watched helplessly as these girls left a mess on the ground and scurried away! A line from a certain boss immediately came to mind: I am so handsome, but you actually said there is a ghost! Bah!
He stretched out his hand to stop everyone, but how could he stop them in this situation? Xiao Han, who was in vain, had no choice but to imitate the boss, spitting on the ground angrily, then raised his legs and continued towards Xue Pan's residence.
And go.
At this time, in Xue Pan’s small building.
An An, who was wearing a red rompers and looked as cute as if she had stepped out of a New Year picture, was obediently watching Grandpa Hua diagnosing her mother's pulse, her big, watery eyes full of curiosity.
Generally speaking, men are not allowed to enter the back houses of wealthy families.
This is very similar to the royal harem. They are afraid that the women in the harem will not be able to bear the loneliness and will do something scandalous that will ruin the family tradition! For this reason, some aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years take this point even more seriously than the royal palace.
point.
For example, Shandong Yanshenggong and Confucius Mansion!
In that mansion, the inner house and the outer house are absolutely separated! In the entire inner house, except for the owner and the children of several years old, there is not a single man in sight!
However, this absolute separation not only has advantages, but also has some troubles.
The most common thing is that because women are weak and cannot draw water, and the Confucius family is unwilling to let other men enter the inner house, they have craftsmen build a water tank on each side of the high wall that divides the inner and outer houses, with a water tank in the middle.
Drill holes in the wall to connect.
On weekdays, the male servant would fetch water and pour it directly into the sink outside the wall. The water would follow the opening in the wall and flow into the sink inside the wall, where it would be caught by the maid for washing and drinking.
Of course, this may not seem like a big deal.
But the problem is: the Kong Mansion was afraid that the male servant would pass the water hole on the wall and flirt with the women in the house, so he designed the water hole into a curved shape, so that no matter how hard you stretched your head to look, you couldn't see what was outside the wall.
Human appearance!
This little thing is enough to show how sick the wealthy families at that time were regarding the defense between men and women!
However, there will naturally not be such trouble in Xiao Han's house. Not to mention Old Man Hua, who has always regarded Xiao Han as his own son, even Zhang Qiang, Uncle Lengzi and others can enter directly after being notified.
"Grandpa, grandpa..."
After waiting patiently for a long time, when she saw Old Man Hua take back his hand, An An immediately jumped up, came over and hugged Old Man Hua and asked with a sweet voice: "What's wrong, mom? Why did you suddenly fall asleep?"
"An An, be good, mom...it's okay!" Old Man Hua touched An An's little head, and his nose suddenly sore, and tears almost flowed out of his eyes! What a lovely child, if his father is lost like this, then...
Thinking of this, Old Man Hua didn't dare to think about it anymore! The old man who had been kind all his life could only pray silently in his heart, praying that his apprentice would once again have good fortune and escape this disaster. Although it seemed from the message that he had
, this opportunity is not very big, even a little slim!
"Then when will Mom wake up? I saw Uncle Zhang Qiang come and go. Sometimes, his face is so scary! He didn't even say hello to An An." An An didn't notice anything strange about Old Man Hua, and still said innocently:
"There are also Aunt Xiao Lian and Aunt Xiao Ai. They even cried. They were so embarrassed that An An stopped crying!"
