Chapter 31: To the Town
When the sound of roosters and dogs barking became lively, the sky was already watching.
Zhao Qingzao woke up in a daze, looked at the sky, and noticed that the sun had already risen, so he couldn't help but grunt and get up, but when he went to the small room next door to take a look, he saw that Shen Changting had already gotten up, not only got up, but was also working hard to write.
Sensing Zhao Qingzao's movement, he stopped his pen, glanced at Zhao Qingzao, and then turned his head again.
"Yawn. ”
Zhao Qingzao yawned and muttered, "When did you get up, why didn't you call me to get up." ”
"I see that there is still a little bit left in this book, and I will be able to take it to work after I have eaten after copying it. Shen Changting smiled and said, "Besides, I slept lightly in the morning, and I didn't call you when I saw the time." ”
Zhao Qingzao was speechless, and at the same time felt warm in her heart, human life in this world is not valuable, and a woman's life is even less valuable, even if she was in the Zhao family before, her family looked at her unpleasantly, so she would inevitably be cut off, it was rare that Shen Changting took care of her so much now, and she was full of gratitude in her heart.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help asking, "Have you washed your face, I'll go boil some hot water." ”
"Well, go get busy, I've washed it. Shen Changting replied and began to write again.
Zhao Qingzao was a little speechless, sighed, and advised: "Tomorrow, remember to call me, although it is warm this day, the water is also cold, you are not in good health, don't use cold water in the future." ”
Shen Changting's body is already weak, and he lives alone on weekdays, and his life is even more messy, his body is naturally not as good as day by day, Zhao Qingzao finally has such a meal ticket, and he is naturally reluctant to see the other party's physical problems.
Sensing Zhao Qingzao's kindness, Shen Changting smiled: "It's okay, I used the water in the tea bucket." ”
"Oh, then I'll make you some tea. ”
Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao didn't say much, looking at Shen Changting's serious appearance, he was a little worried that he was overworked, so he couldn't help but persuade, "Now that the family can still live, don't worry, hurry up and touch the dark, can you afford to eat?"
"It's okay, it's idle anyway. Shen Changting shook his head with a smile.
After Zhao Qingzao's reminder yesterday, now he also has a sense of urgency, and plans to work hard and earn more silver.
Zhao Qingzao was a little helpless, Shen Changting is too good-tempered, and he is too serious in everything, he is a weak scholar, so tired, it is strange that there is no problem with his body.
Immediately said angrily: "Then don't be in such a hurry, look at you, now even if you copy a copy in three days, you will have an income of more than ten or twenty taels of silver a month, and you can become a landlord if you put aside ordinary people." ”
After saying that, Shen Changting seemed to be a little unconvinced, so he didn't wait for the other party to speak, and continued: "What I said is true, the body is the capital, the body is poor, everything will be empty at that time, don't be too anxious, take care of your body." ”
"Alright, I know this better than you. Shen Changting was a little amused, and a trace of gloom flashed inadvertently in his eyes.
Zhao Qingzao didn't pay attention to Shen Changting's subtle changes, she also accepted it when she saw it, Shen Changting was not very old after all, and in his previous life, he was just a hairy young man who had not yet left the campus, and it was inevitable to be a little angry, and it would be uncomfortable to persuade too much.
Seeing Shen Changting burying his head in copying books again, Zhao Qingzao shook his head and went to work, her body looks too young after all, and some things are too much, but it is easy to make people suspicious.
However, her worries about Shen Changting are sincere, this year is not the same as in her previous life, there are all kinds of vaccines, and the medical conditions are good, how bad the medical conditions are in these years, those doctors in the township, nine out of ten are pits, and more people die of illness every year than in war, so it is more and more important to have a good body.
However, it is useless to say too much for the time being, so I can only wait for the future to guide slowly, but fortunately, Shen Changting can listen to the persuasion of others, which is much stronger than some stubborn scholars.
Zhao Qingzao is a simple person, and she rarely drags mud and water, since she got up, she also began to be busy with breakfast, first boiled a pot of hot water, and poured a cup of tea for Shen Changting, because of Shen Changting's body, she didn't have much tea, but added a little salt, anyway, she is not so bad for salt money now.
There was a lot of leftover dishes, she added a little more, estimated that she could eat a meal, and then cooked a little rice directly, and it was fine.
After having breakfast with Shen Changting, Zhao Qingzao was busy packing up her clothes and preparing for laundry, now it is hot, she loves to be clean, Shen Changting is also so clean, and her clothes are changed frequently.
But just when she was busy, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Shen Changting walking towards the door with two books in his arms, and couldn't help but hurriedly speak: "Eh, where are you going?"
"This ......"
Shen Changting took out the book and shook it, and said, "The book is copied, I'll take it and give it to others." ”
"So fast!"
Zhao Qingzao was surprised, smiled, and said, "It's just right, I'll go with you." ”
"What are you going to do?" Shen Changting was helpless, worried that Zhao Qingzao was so much fun when he saw the town yesterday, and he was ambitious, after all, Zhao Qingzao looked very young, and he was the age of playfulness.
"You're going out, I have nothing to do at home alone, it's better to accompany you, and I have a companion. Zhao Qingzao said, and stepped forward to pull Shen Changting's arm.
Seeing this, Shen Changting was helpless, nodded stubbornly and said, "Okay, then let's go together." ”
Zhao Qingzao grinned, hurriedly locked the door, and followed Shen Changting out of the door.
It's not that she wants to play, but there is nothing else to do at home now, it's really boring, it's better to go out and go around, besides, she also wants to move, when she grows up, she doesn't move much, it's not good for her body, not to mention that she is also worried that Shen Changting will be pitted.
Shen Changting didn't say much, led Zhao Qingzao, and walked directly to the ox cart at the entrance of the village, then Zhao Qingzao grinned, grabbed him and asked, "Are you planning to take the ox cart?"
"Well, it's nature. Shen Changting nodded naturally.
Zhao Qingzao felt a little fresh, and a little reluctant to pay, so he couldn't help asking, "How much does it cost to go on a trip?"
"Two pennies a person. ”
"By head?"
"It's nature. ”
"Why don't you grab it, it's enough to buy pigs into the water. ”
Zhao Qingzao was suddenly speechless, two cents a trip for one person, four wen for a round trip, two people, almost enough to buy three pigs into the water, and immediately said without hesitation: "Forget it, let's go over, didn't we go last time?"
Shen Changting's face was slightly hesitant, and said, "It's better to take the car, it's tiring to walk, and it's not expensive anyway." ”
"The road is not far, and it won't take half an hour to walk over, so why spend this unjust money. Zhao Qingzao glanced at Shen Changting angrily, she was really reluctant to pay, after all, there was not much leftover.
"Alright, let's go. Shen Changting was helpless.
Zhao Qingzao was worried that Shen Changting was unhappy, so he couldn't help explaining: "Anyway, the road is not far, if you can save something, it's good, with that money, I might as well save some money to make you a few new clothes, I don't know any needlework myself, I can only find a tailor." ”
Zhao Qingzao is really not very good at this thing, and he doesn't have a chance to learn, even if he sews and mends clothes, it is estimated that it is enough to choke.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Shen Changting is very open-minded, it seems that in addition to being more insistent in the face of major rights and wrongs, he really doesn't care about small sections.
Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao sighed in her heart, Shen Changting is really a wonder, this bullshit small mountain village, she can't figure out how a character like Shen Changting came out, and she can't see it in terms of temperament at present, but just being able to tolerate her presumptuous point is not something that ordinary people in the mountains can do, even if it is those talents, it is estimated that they can't do it.
There are too many people who have read dead books these years, and it is strange to think that people like Shen Changting are also wonderful.
However, Zhao Qingzao also figured it out, the supremacy of imperial power in this world, the difference between officials and the people, and the distinction between men and women is even clearer, with her being born now, it is estimated that she can only be in the mountains in the future, and she will not tolerate her if she wants to turn over in this world, and now she can meet Shen Changting's wonder, which is also a great luck, and she can live one day at a time.
Thinking about it like this, she also plans to help Shen Changting well.
After all, Shen Changting is not useless, he can tolerate people, although his temperament is softer, but he can distinguish between right and wrong, the main thing is to be reasonable, listen to others, and make money, which is enough for her.
As for getting married, this is a matter for the future, take care of the present first, and have a firm foothold, so that there can be a future, otherwise, unless a golden finger falls from the sky, she is destined to live a happy life in this life.
While thinking about it, he walked slowly with Shen Changting, but he didn't go far, and he saw that Shen Changting's forehead was full of cold sweat, and his whole body was panting, looking out of breath, and his body staggered.
"What's wrong with you!"
Zhao Qingzao's eyes were quick, and he suddenly held Shen Changting up, seeing that Shen Changting's face was pale, he couldn't help but change his complexion, and hurriedly said, "What's the matter?"
"It's okay, just take a break. Shen Changting panted like pulling a bellows, and he was slurring when he spoke.
"Come on, come on, sit on the side for a while. ”
Zhao Qingzao remembered that he almost panicked, and his heartbeat was several beats faster.
At this moment, she was really anxious, she finally relied on such a gold owner, she didn't want Shen Changting to have an accident at all.
Helping Shen Changting to sit down on the roadside stone carefully, seeing that Shen Changting's face was getting worse and worse, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he said in a trembling voice: "What's wrong with you, what's going on?"
Shen Changting showed an ugly smile and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay to rest, I just feel panicked with chest tightness." ”
"You said we were going to take the car, and it was all my fault. Zhao Qingzao was a little gloomy, if she hadn't seen this and had to walk just now, it wouldn't have made Shen Changting tired like this.
The two were resting, and they happened to see an ox cart coming from the direction of the village, and Zhao Qingzao immediately stopped the ox cart and said, "Master, how much does it cost to go to the town?"
Maybe it's a habit in my previous life, and I'm used to asking the price before getting in the car.
The one who drove the car was an old uncle, and when he heard the words, he said very simply: "It's all the old price, and it hasn't changed for a few years." ”
"Two people alone?" Zhao Qingzao tried to ask.
"Well, if you want to go, get in the car quickly. The old uncle urged.
"It's too expensive, we're halfway there. Zhao Qingzao was a little speechless.
She and Shen Changting had already walked more than half of the distance, and seeing that there was still a small half, she didn't expect the price to be so expensive, and she was so angry for a while.
"Hey, this journey has always been at this price, I've been driving for more than ten years, and I can't fool you into a girl, you two can't get in the car, and I'll leave if you don't get in the car." "The old uncle is very unfriendly and arrogant.
There's no way, unless the craftsmen meet someone higher than their own status, they are all so virtuous.
