Chapter 22 Two Rabbits
Shen Ximan thought that even if it was a shelter, it should be decent enough for people to live in.

But he didn't expect that he followed Pearl into the West Corner Gate, and was confronted with piles of mossy bricks and stones.

There is not a single piece of floor tiles under the feet, and although the missing parts have been tidied up carefully, there are still traces of grass roots and moss.

The walls are stained and mottled, and the wood is rotten. Not to mention the windows and doors, the window screens that have been pasted over the past few years are left in pieces in the window openings.

The window paper is freshly pasted, but the whole thing looks like a different world from the scenery she saw on the way to Wanrong Hall yesterday.

There are only two houses side by side, a small wooden horse is placed on the porch, and two long-eared rabbits are painted on the mud floor that lacks floor tiles.

A big one with long hair hangs on its shoulders, a step shaker on its ears, and a garland around its neck, and a small one is round and fat, like a big fat bun.

When Shen Xi walked under the window where the wooden horse was, two intermittent coughs came from the room.

Then there was the sound of lightly scuffing shoes.

Hearing that he was getting closer and closer, when he stopped, Shen Xi subconsciously turned his head to look in the window, and saw a little fat man with thick and long eyebrows leaning halfway out of the window.

When he saw Shen Xi, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth into a big circle, but only paused for a moment in mid-air before he slid down against the wall again.

"Brother Liang is disobedient again!"

Aunt Pei snatched the way to enter the door, and lightly reprimanded her.

When Shen Xi walked in, he saw the fat man standing under the window with his hands hanging down, his lips pursed, and he looked over timidly.

The cloth shirt on his body is very clean and fits well, but the texture is the same as her own clothes, which is really not flattering.

Shen Xi stopped in front of their mother and son.

Shen Liang was only two years old when Shen Chongxin died, so he definitely didn't feel much about this accident.

It's just that in the past three years, the original owner should have been with them day and night, and there are not many people in the second room. The siblings should be closer than others. For some reason, he is so afraid of her.

Moreover, the original owner went to fight with Shen Xin because of his enrollment, but at the same time placed them in this place, which is really incomprehensible.

She sat down on the nearby chair and looked at the small pieces of paper scattered on the table.

There are some easy-to-read large characters printed on the piece of paper, which should be cut from a book.

Next to the words, there are many villains and small animals painted with childish brushstrokes, full of childishness.

There were still some ink stains on the table, and looking at Shen Liang's hands, the fingertips were still stained with ink.

Although the little fat man was afraid of her, he never flinched.

But at this time, two or three small pimples appeared on his right cheek, which was flushed red, and he must have gotten angry.

Shen Xi looked at the two red dots, and finally found an opening line: "Did you eat snacks all these days?"

Shen Liang put his hands behind his back guiltily, and looked at her with his mouth tightly shut.

Shen Xi looked at him and suddenly smiled.

Her brother Zhang Yu is several years older than her.

Because the mother Xiao Shi was Miss Jiao of the Grand Master's Mansion, she was doted on by her husband in every possible way after marriage. She gave birth to Zhang Yu in the second year of marriage, and gave birth to another son in the third year, but she died in infancy.

After that, Zhang Yu had to wait until Zhang Yu was seven years old to give birth to Zhang Ying. Before Zhang Ying died, his nephew Ah Shan was already three years old.

Ah Shan is also very cute. When Xiao Shi was young, he would often be carried to the main room to play.

But before Ah Shan was born, the person she spent the most time with except her parents was Wen Chan.

After all, she didn't have any other sisters. After his wife gave birth to her, Zhang Xie didn't insist on children.

Bringing Wen Chan back to the mansion from her ancestral home is because she can't see how mean Wen Chan's stepmother treats her, and because she wants to find a playmate for Zhang Ying.

When she was eight years old, she went back to Huizhou with her parents to worship her ancestors, and saw Wen Chan in that small town called Wushan Town.

Wushan Town is the ancestral home of the Zhang family, and there are six to seven adults in the town with the surname Zhang.

After the ancestors of the Zhang family led the family to settle in Yanjing, they set up family rules, explaining that in the future, no matter whether it is honor or disgrace, the eldest son and wife of each generation must be buried in the Meishan ancestral grave in the east of the town.

It was the twelfth lunar month at that time, and it was snowing goose feathers outside the city of Huizhou, and the mountains and fields were still white except for white.

Beside the canal not far in front of Wen's small courtyard, there are two wild red plums in full bloom.

Zhang Ying passed by in a warm sedan chair, and went to Zhemei on the spur of the moment, and saw her standing in the icy ditch with her trousers leg looking for bamboo dragonflies for her younger brother.

The bamboo dragonfly was deliberately thrown into the ditch by Wen Chan's younger brother.

The child was wearing a tight new cotton padded jacket, laughing and dancing, while waving a whip to instruct Wen Chan to look around, as if it was the most interesting fun. .

And her stepmother, standing in the window with a fire and holding tea, looked at him with a slight smile, showing pride and complacency in her eyes.

Wen Chan's grandfather was actually the son-in-law of the Zhang family. Wen Chan's grandmother died early and left no heirs. Later, his grandfather married another daughter of the Zhang family and gave birth to Wen Chan's father, who gradually lived in Wushan Town. Rooted.

Wen Chan's father was no longer there.

Zhang Ying couldn't see how bad the brat was, so someone caught him, and in front of her stepmother, beat him hard on the bottom.

Then he took Wen Chan back to his place of residence.Let her bathe and change her clothes, and let her serve hot soup.

When Ye Wenchan had a fever, she couldn't stop talking nonsense and crying, Zhang Ying went to invite the accompanying doctor in her clothes again.

After recovering from her illness, she knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, saying that she would rather be her servant and return to the capital with her than go back to that house again.

But at that moment, Zhang Ying was full of justice.

She only felt that she was a hero who drew his sword to help when he saw injustice in the wild history, and he didn't save her for her return, so how could she agree to make her a slave?
What's more, what's so good about being a slave, if you can't hold your head up for the rest of your life, even your descendants won't be able to enter the imperial examination in the future.

In addition, Wen Chan's grandmother got to the bottom of it, and it turned out to be Zhang Ying's cousin and grandmother.

A decent and well-developed family like the Zhang family is both elders and relatives of the state, how could they make their relatives slaves?
