Chapter 23, Soma Shepherd!
Chapter 23, Soma Shepherd!
The comer is not good!
It's not that Li Muyang has the ability to see through people's hearts at a glance, but deep down in his heart, he feels that such a handsome and dashing and graceful good boy has no reason to take the initiative to come and talk to a small person, right?
There must be a plan.
Look at what a humble and inferior cute little boy Li Muyang is.
Li Muyang looked at each other with wide eyes, wearing a black satin gown, cranking a folding fan, and a very friendly smile on his face.
Li Muyang immediately liked him and said, "I don't think so. ”
Yan Xiangma's expression was slightly stunned, and then he put away the paper fan with a 'poof', put it in the palm of his hand and patted it gently, looked at Li Muyang with interest and said: "If you read more, your horizons will be wider, your heart will be bigger, you want more and more, and people's hearts will become more and more greedy---- if that's the case, isn't it a very dangerous thing?"
"Reading can also be for the purpose of knowing the law clearly, advocating virtue and goodness, and cultivating righteousness. Li Muyang retorted reasonably. "Why do the barbarians and shepherds keep killing in the wilderness, why do they fight incessantly in the frontier desert? It is because those barbarians and shepherds have too little education and have no way to know the law rationally, respect virtue and do good. If they all study, where will they have time to fight and kill?"
Yan Xiangma shook his head, looked at Li Muyang thoughtfully, and said, "That's not right. ”
"What's wrong?"
"I've asked people to inquire, and they've said you're a fool. Yan Xiangma shook his head and said, "But I don't think you're stupid." On the contrary, you're smarter than a lot of people I've seen. ”
"I'm a fool. Li Muyang said. "Every exam is the last in the whole school. ”
"No, no, no, there must be other reasons for this. Yan Xiangma denied Li Muyang's stupid assertion that he was a fool. "But smart people are good, and I like to communicate with smart people. Smart people are sensible and sensible, don't you say?"
Li Muyang knew that he had finally gotten to the point, so he casually flipped through the book "Theory of Strong Soldiers" in his hand, and said: "It depends on what you say and what you do." ”
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself----- Yan Xiangma opened the folding fan with a 'snap' and said to Li Muyang: "Yan Xiangma, Cui Careful cousin." ”
Li Muyang suddenly became enthusiastic, closed the book in his hand, and shouted respectfully: "Cousin, it turned out to be you-----?
As he spoke, he grabbed Yan Soma's sleeve and prepared to go home.
"Wait, wait-----" Yan Xiangma shook off Li Muyang's black hand and said angrily: "What are you doing? Who is so familiar with you?"
"Cousin, you don't know, Cui Chengxin and I are classmates and very good friends. Cui Careful's cousin is naturally also my cousin, since my cousin has already arrived at our door, if I don't invite you back for a cup of tea, be careful and know that you will be angry, and my parents will blame me for not knowing how to be polite---- cousin, go back with me." It's a hot day here, and my house has watermelons chilled with well water to quench my thirst. ”
As he spoke, Li Muyang reached out again to pull Yan Xiangma's wrist.
"Presumptuous. Yan Xiangma was anxious and said: "I'm telling you, don't move your hands and feet, I hate others and pulling my clothes the most---- let go of me, I told you to let go of me-----"
The Li family, Li Muyang and Yan Xiangma were sitting under the grapevines in the yard eating watermelons.
The watermelon was soaked in cold water from a deep well for several hours, and it was cool from the inside out. In this hot summer, it makes you feel like every hair on your body stands up.
Yan Xiangma ate three pieces of watermelon in one go, and when Li Muyang sent the fourth piece, he finally waved his hand, took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his mouth, and said, "If you don't eat it, if you eat it again, your stomach will be broken." ”
Li Muyang also ate three pieces of watermelon, but he did not have the habit of carrying a handkerchief with him, so he could only run to fetch a bucket of well water to wash his hands.
Li Muyang didn't make tea, and drinking hot tea immediately after eating frozen watermelon is not good for his health.
He sat on the stone bench opposite Yan Xiangma and said with a smile: "Why did my cousin get to Hubu Lane?
"No, I'm here for you. Yan Xiangma looked satisfied. Li Muyang's watermelon made him very satisfied, he had never eaten such a sweet watermelon at home.
"Is there anything my cousin looking for me?" asked Li Muyang.
Yan Xiangma took out a box from his arms and handed it over, Li Muyang didn't answer it, and asked, "What is this?"
Yan Xiangma put the box on the stone table, gently pushed it in the direction where Li Muyang was sitting, and said, "Open it and take a look." ”
Li Muyang didn't reach out to touch the delicate and classical box, shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's useless, my cousin and I met for the first time, I don't understand why my cousin gave me such a big gift?"
"Entrusted by my mother, I want to thank you for sacrificing your life to save your cousin. Yan Xiangma said with a smile on his face. Li Muyang was unmoved by the jewelry he gave him, and he was very surprised that he didn't even open it and look at it. He looked around the Li family, and although he didn't seem to be poor, he definitely couldn't call it rich. The family runs a small pastry shop, which can only support the basic living expenses of the family. Doesn't the children who grow up in this kind of family have an unimaginable desire for money and silk things?
"My cousin was attacked in the Beast Face Pavilion at that time, thanks to the shepherd's classmate who came to the rescue. If you hadn't stopped the killer for a while, I'm afraid the servants wouldn't have been able to arrive in time to rescue---- our family doesn't have the habit of owing people anything. So please be sure to accept this small gift. ”
Li Muyang shook his head and said, "If my cousin says so, then I can't accept this gift." ”
Yan Xiangma gently waved the folding fan and said, "Oh, what is the reason? ”
"Beware that my classmate is your cousin, but also my classmate and friend. At that time, the reason why we appeared in the Beast Face Pavilion was because my classmates were outspoken when I was being bullied, and they left the school with me in anger. ”
"Moreover, what we discussed at the Beast Face Pavilion at that time was also for my tutoring friendship. The essay exam is approaching, and at such a critical moment, I am willing to put down my review to help me make up for my lessons, and I can remember this kindness in my heart for the rest of my life----"
"It was a killer attack, it happened suddenly, and I didn't have any time to prepare. However, whether it was as a careful classmate and friend, or as the only male companion by her side, I had the responsibility and obligation to rush to protect him at that time. So, I couldn't take this gift, I just did what I was supposed to do. ”
Yan Xiangma always had a light smile on his face, and his eyes stared at Li Muyang's eyes without blinking.
When he said this, his eyes did not dodge, nor did he have the slightest timidity and weakness. If this person is not a great traitor and a person who is good at hiding, then it proves that his words are indeed what he thinks in his heart.
"Hearing you say this, I think this gift-giving behavior is too vulgar and unbearable. Yan Xiangma shook his head and sighed.
"Cousin can't say that. Li Muyang hurriedly stopped and said: "My cousin is from a big family at first glance, and a big family has the rules and arrogance of a big family. You have given me a generous gift to thank me, this is your gratitude in return. But from my standpoint, I can't accept this gift. ”
"Hmm. If you don't take it, you won't accept it. Yan Soma took the box back and put it in his arms. So, let's move on to the next thing. ”
"Cousin, please. ”
"I just saw you reading in the Library Pavilion, how are you reviewing lately?" asked Yan Xiangma with a smile on his face. He was always smiling, and he was smiling very beautifully. It's really easy to get a good impression.
"Work is underway. Li Muyang replied seriously: "If you master more, you will have more hope." ”
"Didn't answer my question. Yan Xiangma said. "Then I'll ask more directly---- do you think you have any hope of being admitted to a prestigious school?"
"All the way. As for whether you can be admitted to a prestigious school, it is fate. ”
"It's so unsafe. It's so unsafe. Listening to your tone, I'm afraid you don't have much confidence that you can get in. I've checked your grades, and the top schools are a bit far away for you. Yan Xiangma looked at Li Muyang with a sincere face and said, "Is this good? I promise you an admission notice from a prestigious school, are you willing to accept it?"
Li Muyang blinked his long eyelashes and asked, "Is this true?"
"Of course. You go out and inquire, when did I, Yan Xiangma, tell a lie?"
"What do I have to give?"
"You don't have to pay for anything. ”
"Then I'll thank my cousin first. Li Muyang said happily: "Can you guarantee me to go to Zephyr University?"
Yan Xiangma's face finally sank, and it was the first time that he showed such a cold and sharp expression in front of Li Muyang.
"Not good. Yan Xiangma said in a cold voice. "First, it is impossible for you to go to Zephyr University, for the sake of your safety, I also advise you not to go to Tiandu. Rice is expensive every day, and I'm afraid you won't be able to support yourself there. Second, I can help you get the admission notice of Jiangnan University, and you can also choose the major of Jiangnan University----- Jiangnan University is also a first-class university in the empire, and I myself graduated from Jiangnan. I'm sure you don't dislike that, do you?"
"But -----" Yan Xiangma# stared at Li Muyang with burning eyes, and said, "Since you can already be admitted to Jiangnan University, then there is no need for your cousin to spend time and effort tutoring for you, right?"
