Yingtian Mansion is not big, and Chang Mansion is the focus of others' attention in Yingtian Mansion.
Although there was no problem that Chang Mao's murder was covered up by the Chang Mansion, after the emperor sent the one hundred taels of silver, the matter eventually spread.
But even if others knew about it, those cunning nobles would probably pretend not to see it, but Mr. Xie was heartless and came over to deliver the medicine.
Isn't this just adding salt to Lan's wounds?
Seeing that Mrs. Xie still had a warm face, and it didn't look like she was faking it, Mrs. Lan could only sigh in her heart that Mrs. Xie was ignorant of the world, but she could only squeeze out a smile and thank Mrs. Xie.
"The child is disobedient and makes Madam laugh!"
…
The two ladies chatted for a while, while the Xu family girl sat quietly and observed the expressions of the adults.
She could see the unhappiness on Lan's face, but her mother's emotional intelligence was so low that she couldn't see it at all.
While the two were chatting awkwardly, Chang's girl and Chang Sheng also came over to pay homage to Mr. Xie.
"You can take your younger brothers and sisters from the Xu family to play!"
The Chang family was the oldest. She waved to Xu Miaoyun and Xu Yungong, and the Xu family brother and sister followed the Chang family girl out honestly.
"Sister Chang!"
There may be intrigues between the elders of the Chang family and the Xu family, but the relationship between the next generation is not affected. The Chang family girl and the Xu family girl met each other, and they quickly got to play together.
The boys were naughty, Xu Yungong and Chang Sheng were running around in the yard, and the two girls were chatting in the pavilion in the yard.
The girl from the Chang family was very envious when she saw that Xu Miaoyun kept reading in her hand:
"Sister, I heard that Uncle Xu has found a husband to teach you how to read for you since you were a child. I am so envious of my sister!"
Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun raised his head and chuckled:
"Sister is joking. I, a woman, can't get fame by studying literature. After all, it's just a pastime! Whether it's reading poetry and books or studying female celebrities, in the end, it's not my destiny to be a husband and raise children!"
Mrs. Chang also liked this little girl very much when she saw that she was polite.
The two of them started chatting together.
"Sister, please forgive me. My mother is an outspoken person, but also does things without thinking. Please wait until we leave to tell my wife and ask her to forgive me!"
"When this happened to my brother from the Chang family, my wife didn't like to welcome guests. I once tried to persuade my mother, but she said I was ignorant..."
After the two got acquainted, Xu Miaoyun whispered to the Chang family in a low voice. The Chang family girl was shocked. She was a few years older than Xu Miaoyun, but she did not notice the undercurrent between the Lan family and the Xie family.
Although the little girl in front of him was only six years old, she could see things that she couldn't.
Moreover, if it weren't for looking for compensation for her mother, she probably wouldn't show her smart side easily.
"Sister, you are so smart, just like that little Taoist priest!"
Chang agreed to Xu Miaoyun's request and couldn't help but sigh.
"Little Taoist priest?"
The girl from the Xu family looked at Mr. Chang with a pair of bright eyes, full of curiosity.
The girl from the Chang family smiled and told her the story of another little Taoist priest. Anyway, the Xu family already knew about Sheng Mao, so the Chang family told her everything about her encounter with Zhang Yi that day.
"There are worms in the water, how did he know?"
"Although he quoted the words of Buddhist saints, there is no proof of this fact and can only be doubted!"
"Sister, did he really make the spell ignite without fire?"
"How did he find out that brother Chang... committed murder?"
As Chang continued to talk, Xu Miaoyun finally showed some innocence that belonged to a child. Although she and the little Taoist priest had never met, Zhang Yi's every move made her curious.
This man is obviously only one year older than her, but he knows more than she does. He must have many books in his hands that he has never read!
"That Taoist brother is indeed an interesting person. I heard that he is practicing at Qingxin Temple outside the city. If I have a chance to meet my sister some other time?"
Xu Miaoyun was looking forward to it, but she became discouraged when she thought about it:
"Mom doesn't let us go out casually!"
"Sister, you can come and play with me. Maybe after a while, I also want to visit the Taoist brother!"
In the early Ming Dynasty, etiquette was not as strict as that of later generations, and families with military commanders such as Changfu and Xu were no better than ordinary families.
Mrs. Chang thought for a moment, and she really wanted to ask the little Taoist priest for advice... Well, she must not admit that it was a marriage...
"Okay, sister, pull the hook!"
After the two agreed, the difficult and hypocritical dialogue between Lan and Xie finally ended, and the mother and son left the Chang Mansion.
"Your father will be back soon, and mother will take you to make new clothes. And girl, don't you like to eat roast goose? Let's buy some!"
The Xu family's girl's eyes lit up and she nodded heavily. Only when she heard the goose being roasted did she become a bit naive like a little girl.
"You have the same problem with your father, no wonder he loves you!"
Mr. Xie asked his wife to pass by a time-honored restaurant, and then bought a roast goose for the two siblings. The two were delighted and ate it in the car.
The group of people came to another time-honored clothing store. In the distance, there were thousands of people and warblers.
Mrs. Xie had the carriage park farther away and brought the two siblings in.
"It's indecent to eat outside, don't eat it!"
Xu Miaoyun snatched the roast goose leg from Xu Yungong's hand and put it in the paper bag for him.
"Why are there so many people here!"
“There’s a business on the 16th floor nearby!”
"I see!"
The girl of the Xu family was held by her mother. She held her brother's hand and walked among the birds and swallows.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any better materials to make some clothes?"
Ms. Xie pointed to the two children and said to herself. The shopkeeper measured the sizes of the two children, and Ms. Xie went to choose clothes by herself.
The two siblings looked at the warblers and swallows around them curiously.
"Sister, what is the sixteenth floor?"
Xu Yungong reached out to touch the roasted goose, but Xu Miaoyun slapped him back.
He asked weakly, and the Xu family girl shook her head. She actually didn't know.
It's just that she feels that the makeup on these young ladies is a bit heavy, and she doesn't like it.
But the clothes they wear are very beautiful.
The Xu family's tutoring was quite strict. Although Xu Da received many awards under Zhu Yuanzhang, the Xu family's siblings rarely had nice-looking new clothes to wear.
Just as Xu Yatou was immersed in fantasy, imagining that she could wear these beautiful clothes, she suddenly realized that the voice around her disappeared.
"Brother, where is my brother?"
Xu Miaoyun looked around, but vaguely saw Xu Yungong disappearing at the corner of the street. When she turned around, she didn't see her mother. In a hurry, Xu Yatou followed her.
Chasing his brother all the way.
When he saw Xu Yungong again, he had already followed the crowd into a place.
"go out!"
Unfortunately, the person at the door saw Xu Yungong and pushed him down.
"Wow!"
Xu Yungong cried loudly at the door, but made the people around him laugh:
"I always liked to have fun when I was young, hahaha!"
"The girl in the building is so lovely that she even attracted such a young grandpa to her!"
"Maybe he's a beggar?"
The bad words from those people suddenly aroused Xu Miaoyun's desire for protection. She rushed over, pushed away the crowd, and shouted for her brother.
But he was helpless because of his weak strength, so he was pushed back and fell to the ground.
"My roast goose..."
Her roast goose fell to the floor, which made the wandering guests laugh.
Never had a girl from the Xu family been so aggrieved that she cried when she encountered such a thing.
Roast goose, she hasn't had roast goose for a long time.
"Is it too much to bully a child?"
When the Xu siblings were helpless, someone finally spoke up for them. She turned around and saw a little Taoist priest, not much older than her, walking out of the building.
A little Taoist priest visiting a brothel and a little girl eating roast goose looked at each other.
