Returning to Tenglong Pavilion, Lei Shaoyang couldn't swallow this breath. Thinking about it carefully, he was really unlucky today. He was playing tricks in front of his grandfather and was caught by that girl. He lost all face. In the afternoon, he just bumped into that
The girl was slapped twice again in front of the two girls. He finally managed to get back a fight during dinner, but because of his greed, he wanted to make her embarrassed again, so he condescended to her and apologized to her.
Unexpectedly, the girl refused to drink the sweet soup, causing the sweet soup to enter his stomach.
However, how could this girl dare to be so arrogant when she saw him? He thought carefully and determined that he was playing tricks in front of his grandfather in the afternoon, and she caught him, so she began to despise him. This must be the case.
However, the days are long, and there is plenty of time to teach that girl a lesson. Now, I have lost several battles in a row, and I have no energy left. I have to take a good rest for a few days and think of some safe strategies. By then, are I afraid that this girl will not beg for mercy from me?
Having made up his mind, he picked up the book on the table out of boredom and flipped through a few pages. Feeling that it was not very interesting, he threw it away, lay down on the chair, and dozed off...
At the same time, Yinfengxuan was in a different situation.
"Wow, sister, I really envy you for knowing so many stories." Xiaocao said in surprise, "Did your mother tell you all this?"
It turned out that after the three masters and servants had washed themselves, they couldn't sleep because it was still early. When Ding Xilan was at home, she would read for an hour every night. However, when she suddenly came to Lei Mansion and there was nothing to do, Ding Xilan couldn't help but
I regret giving away all my father's books. It would be great if I could keep one or two.
Later, when she was bored, Xiaofang brought up telling stories. Ding Xilan suddenly remembered those "Historical Records" and "Three Kingdoms" she had read. There were too many stories in them. She picked them up and told them one after another, and the two girls
He listened with great interest and admired Ding Xilan even more.
"Of course not. My sister's mother passed away early, how could she tell so many stories?" Xiaofang retorted. Suddenly, she seemed to realize that she had said something she shouldn't have said and hurriedly stopped.
How could Ding Xilan not know what she was thinking. She took Xiaocao and Xiaofang's hands and said: "Since you recognize me as your sister, then what worries do you have about talking to me? Don't worry, I'm fine, you don't have to worry.
Come on. Xiaofang, especially you, you are too considerate, and my sister will be unhappy if you do this."
"Sister, I understand."
It is really a blessing to have such a master. Xiaofang and Xiaocao both thought sincerely.
"Xiaofang is right. My mother died early and didn't tell me any stories." After saying this, Ding Xilan lowered her head and sighed, but immediately raised her head and smiled, "My stories are all
I read it from books. My father asked me to read and practice calligraphy since I was a child. By the time my mother passed away, I already knew a lot of calligraphy. My father was a scholar and there were many books at home. So, I finished my work during the day.
, reading in the room at night. Over the past few years, I have read a lot of books.”
"Sister, although we are both children from poor families, I really envy you." Xiaocao thought of her life experience, "If you can read, you are not afraid of suffering a loss. Back then, my father borrowed ten taels of silver from others and said
Fortunately, he paid back the money when it was due. But when the day came to pay back the money, the man said that he should pay back twenty taels. It was clearly written in black and white. Only then did my father realize that there was nothing he could do about it, because he had money.
He was powerful and couldn't afford to offend me, so he had to sell me to Lei Mansion for ten taels of silver. My father sold me just because I didn't know how to read."
Speaking of this, Xiaocao couldn't help sobbing when she thought of those past events. Xiaofang hugged her and said: "I am different from Xiaocao. Xiaocao's father still loves her. My father sold me to Lei Mansion.
Because my younger brother wanted to go to school and the family had no money, and my father wanted my younger brother to get the top prize, so he cruelly sold me."
When Xiaofang said this, she was very calm, as if she was telling something that had nothing to do with herself. It seemed that she was already very indifferent to this matter, and also to her family.
As for despair.
Ding Xilan couldn't help being shocked when she heard what they said: She didn't expect that they were so pitiful... She suppressed the tears from her eyes. She hugged them both and said: "Good sister, starting from tomorrow, I will teach you every night
Recognize the characters.”
"Is it true, sister? You're not lying to us?" Xiaocao Xiaofang couldn't believe it.
"Of course it is true," Ding Xilan stroked their heads, "Tomorrow I will ask Grandpa Lei for the Four Treasures of the Study, and I will teach you how to read in the evening."
"Sister, you are so kind, you are better than my father." Xiaocao hugged Ding Xilan and cried.
"Sister, from now on, you are my biological sister." Although Xiaofang was strong, she hugged Ding Xilan and started crying.
"Don't cry, don't cry." Under their influence, tears gathered in Ding Xilan's eyes again. She forced herself to hold back, "From now on, you are my good sisters, and we are a family. Huh?"
"Yeah." The two girls nodded.
"Well, don't cry now, let's continue telling the story. Where did I just tell you?"
"I just talked about Zhao Yunlong's seven entries and seven exits..." Xiaocao said.
"It's not Zhao Yunlong, it's Zhao Zilong." Xiaofang laughed and said, "Why did you remember the name wrong? Zhao Yun, whose courtesy name is Zilong, is not Zhao Yunlong. If it gets out, people will laugh to death."
"Haha..." Xiaocao smiled sheepishly.
Seeing that they finally smiled, Ding Xilan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on her face...
