Chapter 8 Starry Night and Night Talk about the Past
Gongsun Ming's previous embarrassed appearance really scared Su Yunxin, after all, is he a scholar?
I wonder if Shen Wenqiu hadn't saved her life, perhaps, she wouldn't have taken care of Shen Wenqiu either, even if Shen Wenqiu was good-looking, it would be useless. Shen Wenqiu saw Gongsun Ming's embarrassed appearance, explained it for Su Yunxin, and introduced Su Yunxin.
Gongsun Ming then understood why this Su girl was so cold, it turned out that she was afraid of life, which was easy to understand, and what he didn't know was that Shen Wenqiu said this in order to save his face, but Su Yunxin had already left an indelible impression in Gongsun Ming's eyes.
In the early morning of the second day, Shen Wenqiu seemed to be particularly considerate of others, but he didn't admit it, and said: "Brother Gongsun, on the way to Kyoto, the road is far away, not to mention, and what if you, a weak scholar, are robbed again? Su Yunxin didn't pay attention to Shen Wenqiu, she was as cold as ever, as if she had completely forgotten what happened last night;
Gongsun Ming heard Shen Wenqiu say this,
First, I felt that I had taken care of my own face, and I didn't dislike myself.
The second is that the journey is really boring,
Third, he was afraid that he would be robbed again, so he readily agreed.
On this small carriage, there are three people, not too crowded, of course, not spacious, but compared to the previous desertion, it is a lot more lively, but the people who should be deserted are still deserted, such as Fu Bo tinkering with his broken gourd all day long, and Su Yunxin sitting in a corner like an invisible person, joy is naturally not related to them.
Along the way, I didn't meet a single bandit, and I probably became eye-open, knowing that there was a powerful lord in this carriage.
Half a month later, the clear river water was flowing happily, and the fish in the river were also afraid of life.
Shen Wenqiu drank enough water, and he also took care of the reason that men and women could not kiss, so he took the kettle from under his mouth and handed it to Su Yunxin, but fortunately, Su Yunxin didn't know.
Fu Bo took the pancakes he bought in the city a few days ago and distributed them to everyone, Shen Wenqiu smelled them, looked unhappy, and shouted, "Fu Bo, this cake is all rancid." β
Su Yunxin said nonchalantly: "Something's wrong." β
Gongsun Ming was born in a poor family, and he had long been accustomed to eating like this, and comforted: "Brother Shen, you can just order, it's better than being hungry." β
Shen Wenqiu threw the cake to the ground and stretched out his hand to Su Yunxin, who was sitting opposite him; Su Yunxin thought he wanted a cake, threw the cake he was eating to him, and said in disgust: "Who rarely eats your cake." β
Shen Wenqiu threw aside the cake she handed over and said, "Who has eaten it, what I want is your thorn." β
Su Yunxin threw the prismal thorn at him.
Shen Wenqiu took the thorns, got up and walked towards the willow tree on the riverbank, and muttered: "It's really narcissistic, it makes me rarely eat what you have leftover." β
A few minutes later, Shen Wenqiu came back with a few sharpened small wooden sticks about two meters long, returned the thorns to Su Yunxin, picked up the cake on the ground, and muttered: "Nerves, you can eat meat, but you have to gnaw on the cake." β
Su Yunxin glanced at him, wanting to see what tricks he could play.
Shen Wenqiu tore up the bread he picked up and threw it to the river, and in less than a moment, a group of fish were hooked;
Shen Wenqiu was a little embarrassed to interject back and forth, and gradually got his hands on it, catching four or five fish and coming back;
Shen Wenqiu saw him like this, he really hated that iron could not become steel, but he was also not good at him as soon as he was angry, so he squatted down, shook the fish in front of his eyes, and said, "Fu Bo, is this cake mixed with wine, or this fish mixed with wine." β
Fu Bo smiled innocently: "Young master, you are laughing again, of course it is a fish." β
Shen Wenqiu looked at him and said, "Do you want to eat?"
Unexpectedly, Fu Bo still looked naΓ―ve: "Yes." β
Shen Wenqiu asked like a fool, "Then how do we eat?"
Fu Bo smiled: "Young master, you are confused, of course you are roasting and eating!"
Shen Wenqiu saw that the old man was still not enlightened, and asked, "Then what shall we bake?"
Fauber realized the problem, slapped his head, and went to pick up firewood.
A bonfire was burning, accompanied by the smell of barbecue, of course, Shen Wenqiu, Fu Bo, and Gongsun Ming were grilling fish;
Shen Wenqiu said on a whim:
"The moon is bright and the stars are sparse on the banks of the Qin water, and the fragrance of bonfire fish floats for thousands of miles. β
"Envy the immortals descend to the earth, and smell the fireworks in the world a few times. β
Gongsun Ming happily picked up the conversation, and being able to pick up this sentence so quickly shows that Gongsun Ming's skills are also worthy of recognition.
Shen Wenqiu smiled and said, "Brother Gongsun, good literature." β
Gongsun Ming said with a smile: "Where, where, it's Brother Shen's head that is opening well." β
The two flattered each other.
Su Yunxin muttered, "Hypocrisy." β
Shen Wenqiu didn't know when, he took Fu Bo's gourd into his hand and sprinkled some wine on the roasted fish;
Fu Bo is distressed! The 'loser' who scolded Shen Wenqiu countless times in his heart.
Shen Wenqiu put the fish sprinkled with wine and then put it on the bonfire and roasted it for a while, and for a while, the smell of fish and wine made Su Yunxin can't help but swallow.
Shen Wenqiu handed it over and said, "Sister Su, try it." β
Although Su Yunxin was disgusted on the surface, she still took it and ate it in small bites, thinking that this meal was really good, and she thought: "This gentleman is really a little capable." β
Shen asked Qiu and said cheaply: "How is it, Sister Su, is the cake delicious, or the fish delicious!"
Su Yunxin ignored him, turned his back to Shen Wenqiu, and ate by himself, letting Shen Wenqiu discuss it to himself.
Gongsun Ming was eating Zhenghuan and said: "Brother Shen, how did you find out, this wine is poured on the fish, not only removes the fishy smell, but also accompanies the aroma of wine, it tastes salty and sweet, it is really good." β
Fu Bo wolfed down, not at all as distressed as when he had just poured his wine, and thought, "This wine is not wasted." After eating, he looked at the fish in Shen Wenqiu's hand again, Shen Wenqiu couldn't stand the old man's humble appearance, and gave it to him before he ate two bites.
Su Yunxin saw that Shen Wenqiu had worked hard to grill the fish, and it was gone without eating two bites, so she was a little reluctant to go, so she gave him half of the fish she had leftover;
Shen Wenqiu was also hungry, completely forgetting his dislike of Su Yunxin's narcissistic words just now, and he was not polite to her, and he did not shy away from the fact that men and women were not kissed.
In fact, Su Yunxin didn't realize it at first, but later, she found out that she had eaten something, why did she let him eat it, isn't this an indirect kiss? But she forcibly instilled in herself the idea of 'all children of the rivers and lakes, don't care about these details', and forced herself to calm down, so that the people present didn't see her mind at all.
After dinner, as usual, Su Yunxin slept in the carriage, as for Fu Bocai, he was not so particular, he fell asleep against the tree, Shen Wenqiu and Gongsun Ming also carefully set up a tent before sleeping;
In the middle of the night, Su Yunxin got up at night, saw a person sitting by the river, walked over, sat down next to the person, and asked, "Why don't you sleep." β
"Can't sleep. Shen Wenqiu didn't look at him, nor did he say cheaply, and replied simply, "What about you?" seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Su Yunxin;
Su Yunxin didn't answer him, clasped his legs with his hands, and said, "The stars are so beautiful tonight." β
"Yes!" Shen Wenqiu didn't know how she could come to such a sentence without a head, and replied casually;
Su Yunxin said: "I miss my mother a little. β
Shen Wenqiu didn't expect that Su Yunxin, who was usually cold and indifferent, would have such a side.
Su Yunxin didn't seem to notice what she was saying, and said to herself: "When I was a child, every time I looked at the stars, my mother and I would sit in the courtyard, looking forward to the full moon, so that my mother and I could see my father;
"Then why didn't your dad come back?"
"My mother said: My father went to Beijing to catch the exam, and said that he would come back when he became famous. β
"And then?"
"Later, I was taken up the mountain by Master, and I never heard from that person again. β
"Then what's your father's name, maybe I can help you find it. β
"Su Jinchen, but there is no need to look for it now. β
"Why?"
"My mother is dead, is there any point in finding him?"
"At least you can recognize father and daughter, and you can also feel the love between father and daughter!"
"Father-daughter love. β
"He has been gone for ten years, there is no news at all, my mother gave birth to me before he left the cabinet, do you know what those people think of my mother?"
"You tell me about the love of father and daughter. Speaking of this, Su Yunxin's words have changed, and she has become cold and resentful;
Indeed, a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, with a child, in this world of shackles of etiquette and religion, how many white eyes and how many grievances she has to endure to do it!
The people in this world are warm and cold, and Su Yunxin has experienced how much, and he thinks that it is more cold and less warm.
Shen Wenqiu knew that he had said something wrong, looked at Su Yunxin, who was already crying, and said, "Yes, I'm sorry!"
Su Yunxin got up and wiped away her tears, turned her back to him, regained her coldness and said, "Don't mention tonight's matter to others." With that, he left.
Shen Wenqiu wondered, I'm sitting here looking at my stars, why did you come here by yourself, you still have to tell me this, although he is a little cynical, but he still understands proportion, knowing that this is Su Yunxin's secret, he can't talk nonsense, he didn't think about it, and went to sleep.
On the second day, the two of them acted as if nothing had happened, and as usual, no one cared about anyone, in fact, Su Yunxin still couldn't understand why she told him about it last night.
Half a month later, in front of the city gate, Su Yunxin said lightly: "I have completed my task." "It's like having a job with the master, the task is completed, the employment relationship is over, and from then on, the world is strange.
Gongsun Ming saluted her and said, "Miss Su's escort grace, Gongsun Ming remembers it. β
Su Yunxin said coldly: "No need, be a good official, otherwise, be careful of my thorns." Gongsun Ming was not as cynical as Shen Wenqiu, and said decently: "Miss Su's golden sentence, Gongsun remember." β
Shen Wenqiu was different, looked at her open back, and shouted: "Sister Su, come to me often when you have time! I invite you to eat grilled fish!"
