I didn't ask if it was okay, but when I asked, Xiaocan started crying again and murmured: "Brother, my innocence is gone..."

"What!" Xu Xian was shocked and shouted angrily: "Which bastard is it! Could it be Jiu Bao!"

"It's not Jiubao, brother, don't be impulsive!"

Xu Xian stamped his feet anxiously, "You should tell me clearly!"

Xiaocan wiped her tears and pondered for a while before saying: "That was an afternoon..."

It was a sunny afternoon. Xiao Can was sitting in front of the window with his hands on his cheeks, looking at the two and a half big chickens grazing in the yard, but he was thinking about his wanted brother.

She didn't know whether her brother was on the run, whether he had enough to eat, whether he could wear warm clothes, or whether he was being pursued by officials. She had dreamed more than once that her brother was caught and beheaded by officials.

Every time she thought of this, Xiaocan was so upset that she couldn't even sleep at night. She sat down at the desk, took a pen and paper and started writing. Only in this way could her heart calm down.

"Your Excellency Kong Yiji, Your Excellency Kong Yiji, Your Excellency Kong Yiji..."

Xiaocan didn't know many words, and she couldn't write many words. Hong Baoer only taught her these words, and said that as long as she could write these few words, she could write all the words well.

She wrote very seriously, and as she watched the dark ink outline on the yellowed paper, she felt a small sense of accomplishment in her heart, and her restless mood slowly dissipated.

The little silkworm was immersed in it when she suddenly felt the light in front of her eyes dim. She looked up and saw a shadow on the wall holding up two paws, sneaking towards her...

She was startled and cried out. She turned around and saw Hong Bao'er standing behind her. Hong Bao'er seemed to be startled and took two steps back.

He patted his chest with lingering fear, "Xiao Can, you scared me to death."

Xiao Can said angrily: "Obviously you want to scare me."

"Hehe..." Hong Baoer scratched his head and smiled, "I just wanted to make a joke with you."

"If you scare me so much that I have nightmares at night, I will ask Sister Ning Xiu to settle the score with you."

Hong Bao'er shook her hands and begged for mercy, "Don't tell the second sister, she loves you more than me. She will definitely pull my ears off. Didn't you ask me to bring you a knife of paper just after school?

I told you to come to my house for dinner tonight."

"I won't go today. I made an agreement with Aunt Liu to have dinner at her house tonight. She picked up a lot of locust flowers today, so there will definitely be steamed buns to eat in the evening."

"What's delicious in Huaihua Wotou? Today my second sister bought three kilograms of fat pork. My grandma is stewing it. If you don't go, her work will be in vain. You know my grandma's craftsmanship.

, I can smell her stew in the school."

Xiaocan covered her mouth and smiled and giggled twice, "Well, when I finish writing on this piece of paper, I will go to the house."

Hong Bao'er leaned close to the book desk, looked at the beautiful small characters on the paper, and said in surprise: "Your handwriting is so beautiful?"

Hearing Hong Bao'er's praise, Xiao Can's face turned slightly red and said, "No way, I'm just getting familiar with it."

Xiao Can's handwriting is indeed average, and Hong Bao'er is indeed praising her without conscience, just because Xu Xian is not at home, he deliberately flatters her to make her happy.

"No, it's already written very well. From tomorrow on, you can write the next words." Hong Bao'er took out a thousand-character essay from the bag, "Just follow the above and practice four words every ten days, and so on.

I will teach you when I have time. If you can write and calculate in two or three years, I will fire my second sister and become the shopkeeper myself."

"You will perfuse me. Why don't you teach me now when you have time?"

"Okay, let me teach you now. It's still early before dark anyway." Hong Bao'er put down the bag, opened the book, pointed at the first four words with his hand, and read: "The sky and the earth are black and yellow."

Then he explained: "The sky is the sky above the head; the earth is the earth under the feet; Xuan..."

"you do not know?"

Hong Baoer slapped the table, "How could I not know? I'm just worried that you won't understand what Xuan means."

"How can I understand if you don't tell me."

"Then you should listen carefully. The first meaning of xuan refers to color, black and red is xuan; the second meaning is the meaning of remoteness and depth. Laozi said: xuan is mysterious and is the door to all mysteries..."

Hong Baoer clasped his hands behind his back and shook his head, pacing back and forth in the room, as if he was acting like an old gentleman in a private school, with a bit of exaggeration and childishness.

But Xiao Can's eyes were filled with light. Although she didn't understand what she heard, it didn't stop her from praising her with admiration, "Hong Bao'er, you know so much!"

Hong Baoer couldn't help but show a bit of pride on his face, "What's this? I'll tell you something more profound in the future. Okay, let me teach you how to write."

"You haven't told me what 'yellow' means yet?"

"This yellow is the yellow of Yanhuang, the yellow of loess, the same color!"

After Hong Baoer finished explaining, he taught Xiaocan how to write. Xiaocan wrote carefully and with a solid foundation. The words he wrote were not ugly, but the order of gestures was inevitably wrong.

"Wrong, wrong, your strokes are wrong. If you don't change it now, it will be difficult to change it later."

Hong Baoer leaned down and leaned against Xiaocan's back, holding her little hand, and started writing stroke by stroke. At first, she didn't feel anything, but gradually she felt that the cold little hand was soft and smooth, and it felt good to hold it in her hand.

It's comfortable, and at the same time, the light powder fragrance can't help but penetrate into the nose.

He subconsciously looked at Xiaocan's side face, and saw cloud-like hair on her temples, a gold earring hanging on her small ear, swaying slightly with the movement of her arm, and then looking at her side face, which was pink and white with a faint blush, and dark.

His eyes were not fixed on the paper, and there was a hint of shyness in his eyes.

Hong Bao'er was fascinated by it for a moment. She felt an indescribable heat in her chest, and she accidentally kissed her crimson cheek...

"Then what!" Xu Xian asked suppressing the anger in his chest. As soon as he said the words, he felt that it was nonsense. It was obvious what would happen next.

Unexpectedly, Xiaocan said: "Then I was frightened. When I came to my senses, Hong Baoer ran away."

"Run away?" Most of Xu Xian's anger dissipated immediately, "You said Hong Bao'er just kissed you on the face?"

"Yeah!" Xiaocan nodded heavily, then covered her face and squatted on the ground, "I thought he would propose marriage to my brother, but who knew he would actually submit to someone else... Wuwu..."

"This... Hong Bao'er is only fifteen, two years younger than you. Do you plan to marry him?"

"But...but he ruined my innocence, otherwise who could I marry?"

Xu Xian was in trouble. If the two of them really stole the forbidden fruit, he would even force Hong Baoer to marry Xiaocan.

But it was just a kiss on the face, and he felt there was no need to make a fuss, because Hong Baoer was by no means a good match, and he knew what kind of bastard Hong Baoer would grow into in the future.

As the son-in-law of the Zhao family, he can't get rid of his thighs even if he wants to. There is really no need to let Xiaocan be used as a bargaining chip. Even if he is as noble as a queen, he knows how to be cold and warm, and may not be as happy as a small family.

He also understood that women in ancient times valued chastity. Although just a kiss was considered a skin-to-skin kiss, it was not much different from complete possession. Moreover, Xiaocan seemed to like Hong Baoer a little.

Xu Xian hesitated for a while before finally persuading: "Hong Bao'er is still young and doesn't understand the relationship between men and women. He didn't kiss you on purpose. Well... the second pillar of Aunt Liu's family also kissed your hand before..."

Not to mention Xiaocan, Xu Xian couldn't even make it up. Just when he was at a loss for words, he shouted loudly from outside the door, "Thank you for being a man, but you still defended that bastard when your sister was bullied!"

I saw Zhao Ning rushing into the house with a dash of beauty, waiting for Xu Xian fiercely: "That little bastard Hong Baoer used to peek through the back window of a private prostitute, and there were erotic pictures hidden under the pillow. How come he didn't know the relationship between men and women?"

The thing is, he was rude to Xiaocan because he had evil thoughts in his heart."

Zhao Ningxiu stretched out her hand and touched Xu Xian's chest, "I used to think you were a bloody man, but now that my girl has been bullied, you are treating me as a coward. You don't have to look at my kindness. Even if my brother does such a scandal, I won't do it."

Don’t spare him!”

As she said this, she picked up Xiaocan and walked out. Xu Xian took her arm and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? I should go to the Zhao family and ask for an explanation!"

Zhao Ningxiu gritted her teeth and felt a sense of justice. At this moment, it seemed as if her surname was not Zhao before.

"No, it's not that I don't dare to stand up for Xiaocan. Xiaocan and Hong Baoer are really not suitable for each other. They may not be able to harmonize in the future. This will harm Xiaocan... Oh!"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Xian felt a pain in his crotch and couldn't help but bend down.

Zhao Ningxiu said disdainfully: "What a bullshit man, I was so blind that I misjudged you! Xiaocan, let's go!"

The two of them had not walked a few steps when they met Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu asked, "Mrs. Da Lang, what are you doing? What's wrong with Xiao Can?"

"Some bastard has ruined Xiaocan's innocence. We are going to settle the score with him!"

Aunt Liu jumped three feet high when she heard this, "What! My poor daughter, who is the unscrupulous person who did this? I will fight with him!"

"It's not someone else but my natal brother, but Aunt Liu, don't worry, I won't protect anyone. I have to make an explanation today. Aunt Liu, go and find some more people!"

Aunt Liu stretched out her thumb and praised: "Madam, I admire your sense of justice! I will find someone right now."

Soon, a group of women gathered around Zhao Ningxiu and walked out of Liuhe Bay towards Liuyun Street. Xu Xian stumbled behind him in discomfort. By the time he caught up, a group of people had already entered the Zhao family's door.

.

Zhao Ning opened the door and shouted loudly: "Hong Bao'er! Hong Bao'er! Come out!"

"Second sister, I have words now, you should call me Tingyi!" Hong Baoer came out of the hall and saw the scene outside and said in surprise: "Second sister, why did you bring so many people here!" But he looked at it.

Xiaocan's eyes were clearly evasive.

Zhao Ningxiu was indeed tougher, but she was not stupid at all but very shrewd. She could see the fishiness in it at a glance. Without saying a word, she rushed in front of Zhao Kuangyi, raised her hand and slapped him hard.

She was already proficient in punching and kicking and had rich experience in beating people. On the contrary, Zhao Kuangyi was a weak scholar, and she knocked him to the ground with an angry blow.

Zhao Kuangyi covered his face and said: "Why did you hit me! How did I offend you!"

Zhao Ningxiu snorted coldly: "Looking at your guilty look, you know why I beat you. You really think our Xu family is easy to bully!"

Brother Huan ran out of the hall, looked at Zhao Ningxiu and Zhao Kuangyi on the ground in surprise, and then bent to help him.

"Brother Huan, don't worry about him. Go to the back house and ask the old woman to come out!"

Brother Huan helped Zhao Kuangyi up and trotted to the back house.

Zhao Ningxiu glanced at Zhao Kuangyi and said, "Come in with me!" After entering the hall, she pointed to the corner and said to Zhao Kuangyi, "Go and stand in the corner!" Then she asked Aunt Liu and the others to sit down, but the seats at the top were empty.

came out.
