Chapter 194 Trying to Communicate
Once again outside the fenced courtyard, the old woman was still weaving with her back on her back, and the woman who heard the noise rushed out of the east room again.

This time, because of the presence of the three brothers, she lost her guarded expression. She only glanced at Wen Shu suspiciously, then turned to the tall and tall man in the lead,

But seeing that his arms were stained with blood and the clothes on his chest were torn into several pieces, he hurriedly ran over with a pale face, saying something incessantly.

The big man responded to her with a few words, and then pointed to Wen Shu. Maybe he said that Wen Shu saved them. go in.

Wen Shu nodded slightly, and entered the fenced yard with the three big men, while the fat-stealing bird flew and stopped on the big tree at the door.

The old woman also realized at this time, the three big men kept talking, the woman turned back to the kitchen to get a dustpan of plant ash, and then turned to the west hut to get some rough cloth strips.

While talking to the old woman, the three big men fetched water from the water tank in the courtyard to wash the wound.

After a while, after the wounds on the three big men had been cleaned and bandaged, the family sat down to chat with Wen Shu.

However, the two parties did not understand each other's language, and after only a few words, both parties fell silent.

Wen Shu thought about meeting someone in this different world with great difficulty, and now the family has a kind attitude towards her. If she can stay here, it is better than living in a cave.

Most importantly, she wanted to exchange some salt and a change of laundry with the family.

If you want to make a deal, you must solve the problem of language barrier. After thinking for a while, she suddenly pointed to the water tank in the courtyard and said, "Water."

The big man in the lead, that is, the woman's husband, was a little taken aback when he heard the words, and then tentatively made a sound, "Secret."

"Secret." Wen Shu repeated his voice.

The big man followed her voice and tried to read, "Water."

Wen Shu nodded happily, and immediately put his hand around his lips, making a gesture of drinking water.

"Dimi." The big man smiled and winked at the woman.

The woman quickly got up and went to the room to pour a bowl of water. Wen Shu took it and said with a smile, "Drink water."

"Drink water."

Just when Wenshu was trying to communicate with this family in another world, in Bianliang, Tokyo, in a rich house in the north of the city, Dai, who was nearly forty years old but still charming, was talking with his son with a smile on his face. Fan Sanlang talked about the news she had inquired about.

"The young lady of Yuan Yuan's family is [-] years old. She is good-looking and has the richest dowry. It is said that she has a fortune of ten thousand. In addition to the basic dowry gold and silver jewelry, she also has a shop and dozens of acres of land in the suburbs of Beijing. , she herself can write and count, and she is still studying in Jingzhen Private School."

"There is also the young lady of the Cheng Li family in Taichang Temple. This young lady is the most outstanding among the few young ladies in appearance, but the dowry is a little less. It is said that she only has a thousand crowns, but her father is an official anyway. The rank is not high, but if you take an official career in the future, it will help you somewhat."

"There is also the young lady of the Wang family"

After the introduction of the seven or eight young ladies, Dai felt his mouth was dry, raised his hand to take the tea handed by the maid, took a sip, and asked with a smile, "How are these young ladies? Interested?"

Fan Sanlang was a little surprised, he hesitated and said: "My son has not established a career yet, let's talk about getting married two years later."

"What's the matter?" Dai gave him an angry look, "It's been said in ancient times that you start a family first and then a career. You're nineteen, and you'll be crowned next year. Besides, you can wait, and these little ladies can't wait too. Why don't you book now?" Come on, it’s gone if it’s too late.”

"Let's do it later." Fan Sanlang lowered his head and turned the teacup: "Next year's spring will be Chunwei. Before that, I just want to concentrate on my studies and don't want to be distracted by other things."

"My son is ambitious, and my mother is happy, but these two things don't conflict. Make an appointment first, and it's not about getting married now. My mother will also take care of the engagement. After the three books and six ceremonies, it will be after next autumn no matter what. , if you can be on the tiger list at that time, wouldn't it be double happiness."

"It's better to be late."

Fan Sanlang's repeated refusal attitude made Dai suspicious, she fixed a glance at her son, and suddenly said: "Do you have someone in your heart?"

"No." Fan Sanlang replied very quickly, but a beautiful image flashed across his heart unexpectedly.

Mrs. Dai is someone who has been here, and she saw that there was a difference in his expression at a glance, paused, and said tentatively: "If you have it, just tell me, as long as it is suitable, mother can also send someone to come to propose marriage."

"No, really not." Said, Fan Sanlang hurriedly got up and left the stool, "Master still has some unfinished homework, I will leave first, and come to talk to my mother when I have time."

"Hey"

Before Dai's words to keep someone, Fan Sanlang has already left in a hurry.

"This child." Dai sighed helplessly, turned around and said to the maid next to him, "Go and call the six little servants who are close to you, and tell me that I have something to ask."

"Yes, ma'am."

The servant girl hurried away in response, and brought in a young servant after a while. The young servant was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was greeted as soon as he came in.

Dai asked him to get up, and then asked him about Saburo's recent movements, how is everything in Taixue, has he ever met a young lady from any family?

The boy replied: "No, Xiao Taixue has an exam every month. Mr. Xiao Lang is determined to be promoted from a student in the outer dormitory to a student in the inner dormitory. He studies hard every day and has never taken a day off, let alone what happened to him. Little lady."

Is that weird?

Dai Shi muttered inwardly, and beat Liu Zi a few more words, told him to pay more attention in the future, then waved him back.

On her side, she was chasing rumors about her son's possible "sweetheart". When Fan Sanlang returned to the study, he was also emotional. He picked up the book, but found that he couldn't read it.

The sentence his mother asked kept replaying in his mind: "But there is someone in your heart?"

Have it?

He suppressed the door and asked himself, but a figure flashed in his mind at the right time.

In the heavy snow, the woman was dressed in a thick cotton padded jacket, wrapped like a ball, under the blue cloth scarf, her big watery eyes seemed to be able to talk.

At the corner of the alley during the Lantern Festival, she was holding up her skirt, flying towards him like a butterfly in a panic, and almost bumped into his arms. When she heard that he had a carriage nearby, her big round eyes were full of brilliance. Brighter than the surrounding lights.

There should be.

The corners of his mouth curled up undetectably, and then he put it down helplessly.

Xiao Cha Lane!

In the eyes of a mother who wholeheartedly wanted to marry him a helpful woman, this must be unqualified and inappropriate.That's why he didn't dare to expose the small expectations hidden in his heart.

But he also understands his mother, because it is not easy for her in this family.

She is the step-wife and he is the step-son. Although the Fan family is rich, for their mother and son, the light they can borrow is from the step-father. Once the step-father passes away, this light will be annihilated.

However, unlike his mother, he did not want to pin his hopes on others and rely on others for the rest of his life.

He has to rely on himself, study hard, strive for Jinshi and rank, and when he enters the court as an official, regardless of his rank, he will never worry about supporting his family.
