After a few days like this, Song Anrong really couldn't get used to it, so he couldn't help but say: "Although I know that you are hungry for your son-in-law, but now this food is too wolfy, can you take it a little and let go of your normal heart, and don't recruit him here all day long." He was originally a tribute student, and next March will be the spring festival, if he doesn't go to school to warm up his classes, can Sanjia dream of it? โ€

Su Shi said angrily: "If you have a life, it is good that you can take the exam for me and come back." He has all the lessons in his mind now, where does he need to go to that school again to spend money in vain? โ€

Although she said this, she went upstairs and hurriedly asked Zhang Rui: "Now that it's time for the school to start, why don't you go to the school to find a teacher?" โ€

Zhang Rui closed his eyebrows tightly at this time and sighed: "Mother knows my family, now that my parents are gone, and my brothers refuse to help, my son can only borrow some studies by accompanying Dou Wu to study. I simply asked for a long leave from school to go home to accompany my wife to give birth, and my son is left alone here, where is there still school to go to? โ€

Su has been subjected to his brother and sister-in-law since he was a child, and when he heard Zhang Rui's pity, he also threw himself into a sad matter. Then he rubbed his eyes with a handkerchief and said, "My son, you should have said that the school is necessary, and my mother will take the silver for you." โ€

On this day and night, Su asked Zhenshu to ask for silver to hand over to Zhang Rui, and Zhenshu was furious when he heard it: "The ancestor who has not yet opened the ancestral hall to sue him, where can he get the silver first?" Besides, the Dou Academy he went to, all the old students who retired from the Hanlin Academy, the bundle is extremely high, can I afford it? โ€

Su Shi was afraid that Song Anrong would hear it, so he lowered his voice and said, "You don't know it, but now the business in the framing shop is good." Zhang Rui also said yesterday that just for the time he gossiped below, you received fifty taels of silver. โ€

It is true that the business in the framing shop is very good now, and there are some big customers who are used to not bargaining, as long as Zhenshu is willing to bid, he can basically take it away.

Zhenshu broke his fingers and said bitterly: "We all do business according to our conscience, and we will never ask for a high price." In addition to my father's calligraphy and paintings, which were produced by myself, the rest was also collected by me for silver, and then framed, calculated the cost and some profit to sell, where can I be like Zhang Rui said, I received fifty taels of silver and fifty taels are all my own? โ€

When Su Shi heard Zhenshu say this, he hesitated a little again, and sighed: "Since this is the case, I will exempt me and a few of them from the monthly silver, and save Zhang Rui as a restraint, and you must not be asked to fold the capital, how about it?" โ€

Seeing that she was pitiful, Zhenshu took two small silver tickets from the room and handed them to the Su family, and persuaded again: "Although I know that my mother is hungry for a son-in-law, my sister needs to be careful, don't ask him to touch his hands." โ€

Su Shi took the silver and waved his hand: "Go quickly, go quickly, you are more serious than others." โ€

Obviously, Su Shi was angry in his heart. Now Zhenshu guards the silver and doesn't ask her to take care of it, and whenever she goes out, she doesn't have much money on her, and her heart is empty when she sells things. She suddenly realized that this daughter was really old, and she could really stand up for herself, but she was not old, but she forced herself to be an old man.

April 18 is the day to go to the Jade Mansion to study, Zhenshu saw that it was raining in the sky, took the oil-paper wrapped book in his arms, and took an oil-paper umbrella out of the frame shop. After only a few steps forward, he saw Yu Yichen standing in the rain in a black tunic robe, and Sun Yuan was also holding an oil-paper umbrella for him behind him. He was too thin, his clothes and feet were too long and dragged in the water, and his white face and red lips were quite a bit of a sloppy master.

At this time, Zhenshu still couldn't believe that he was really a eunuch, he had a transcendent and elegant atmosphere, and with the sloppiness of the Taoist bones, he was more like a handsome Taoist priest than a eunuch, or a heroic Taoist aunt.

Zhenshu was afraid that he would get too close to the framing shop for acquaintances to see, so he ignored him, walked forward for a long time, turned out of Dongshi and turned around, and saw Yu Yichen also holding an umbrella behind her. Whether he is cold or not, in the eyes of outsiders, he lacks temperature. Zhenshu asked, "Why don't you get on the bus?" โ€

Yu Yichen lifted the curtain of the car and said, "I have the heart to go with you." โ€

Zhenshu got into the car, and he followed. Sitting side by side, the chill on his body made her shiver. At this time, there is no need to study, and the rain is loud outside, and the car is going more slowly. Zhenshu said: "My family Zhenxiu said that he had never taken the money from his grandmother, although I can't guarantee it, but in terms of my own sisters, I believe in Zhenxiu." โ€

Yu Yichen said: "Little shopkeeper, I have managed hundreds of maids and concubines in the East Palace, and when a woman lies, she can even deceive herself, let alone others?" โ€

Zhenshu's heart moved: "So that my father-in-law is still suspicious of Zhenxiu? โ€

Yu Yichen shook his head and sneered: "Asking a woman to tell the truth with all the beards and tails is the most difficult thing in the world, maybe they didn't tell the truth, but what does this have to do with me?" โ€

Zhenshu realized that he was really bluffing, and said hatefully: "It turns out that you really tricked me into reading to you." โ€

Yu Yichen said with some self-deprecation: "It's just reading, does the little shopkeeper think that Yu can do something else?" โ€

Zhenshu looked sideways, from his round forehead to the tip of his hanging nose, and then to his plump and ruddy lips. She suddenly remembered the days when she was in Wuling Mountain, and she had also taken a closer look at Du Yu, which was completely different from Yu Yichen's eyebrows, with a horned forehead, thick eyebrows and simple but masculine lips.

"What's the little shopkeeper thinking?" Yu Yichen asked suddenly.

Zhenshu shook his head: "I didn't think about anything." โ€

She just remembered the tide and shiver that swept through her body that night, and the ease that was so refreshing that she felt on every strand of hair, and told her to gently swing with the cold air.

Treading water over the โ–กโ–ก, when he went up to the small building, Zhenshu's cloth shoes and long skirt were all soaked. Yu Yichen walked ahead, and took off his shoes when he reached the door of the room on the west side of the second floor. He wears cowhide boots on his feet, which are not easy to get wet, and his socks are dry when he takes them off. After untying the black shirt and changing it into a big one, it was still clean and refreshing. Zhenshu stepped on two wet shoes, and saw that the long blanket on the inch thick inside the house was spotless, and he hesitated whether to take off his shoes, so he heard Yu Yichen say: "Do you want to step on my blanket?" โ€

Zhenshu bit his lip and took off his cloth shoes and socks before entering the house, and saw that Sun Yuan was also barefoot, and stretched out his hand to ask her to go inside. She entered a small door on the left, and heard Sun Yuan say outside: "There are no extra skirts in our house, please don't blame the girl." โ€

Zhenshu saw a skirt on the table, unfolded it and saw that it was a ivory-white jacquard silk skirt, which was calm when lifted, not thicker than ordinary silk, nor smooth as ordinary satin, and there was a slight wool weight inside. She untied her skirt and put it on, folded her skirt and took it out and handed it to Sun Yuandao: "Please bake it for me, I will wear it when I leave." โ€

Sun Yuan took his skirt and left. Zhenshu saw a large case in the north of this house, and a small couch near the window on the west side, which was also soft and thick, so he walked towards the small couch. She had just sat down on the couch when another handsome servant came in with a copper basin. Yu Yichen didn't bother others, and personally took it and pulled Zhenshu's feet when he was at the foot of Zhenshu.

Zhenshu thought that he thought his feet were dirty, so he recycled and said, "I'll wash it myself." โ€

This man loves cleanliness a little too much.

Yu Yichen half-knelt on the ground, looked up at Zhenshu and smiled slightly: "Be good, don't make trouble." โ€

Zhenshu felt goosebumps in his heart, and lowered his voice and said, "I don't know what kind of hobby my father-in-law is, the little girl is really a little scared." โ€

Yu Yichen covered her feet in the hot water, stretched out a pair of her slender and soft hands to rub and wash, took the handkerchief to dry, looked up at her eyes and said, "I'm just afraid that you won't be able to wash it clean and dirty my blanket." โ€

Zhenshu secretly slandered in his heart: What a strange person.

Sun Yuan walked in quietly, bent down to hold a large tray covered with velvet cushions, rested at Yu Yichen's feet, and retreated. Yu Yichen took a pair of socks from the tray and put them on for Zhenshu, and asked, "It's good-looking?" โ€

Zhenshu stretched out his foot to look at it, and saw that the seams on the toes were neatly sewn, and the three lines on the heels were also very appropriate, and the socks were made of unknown fabrics, which were very light and comfortable, so he nodded and said, "Very comfortable." โ€

Yu Yichen took another pair of embroidered shoes and put them on her feet, and asked again, "Is it good-looking?" โ€

Embroidered shoes are good-looking, the size should be seven or eight inches long, more than three inches wide, or suede brocade satin, there are embroidered spring flowers Turui, there are also summer apricots shy, and there are sunny dragonflies and early lotuses, all of which are very interesting things. Zhenshu's pair of heavenly feet is too big, and she is not good at needlework, and there are embroidered shoes to wear. The usual ones are just the boxer shoes worn by the half-grown boys sold in the West Market.

Zhenshu spread his feet, and saw that the shoes were just the size of his feet, not tight or loose, and each toe was stretched out properly, and the tooth-white upper was embroidered with two yellow and green paper-cut tigers, which were playful and cute, and he loved it in his heart, so he took it off and took it in his hand to take a closer look, and praised: "It is rare to have comfortable shoes, and it is rare to have fun on the feet." โ€

Yu Yichen chuckled and shook his head, took another pair of boots and put them on for her, and asked, "But it's also good-looking?" โ€

These are lambskin boots worn by women of the Northern tribe, and the upper covers the ankles until the calf bones are closed. This lambskin is a pale pink color dyed with silk, which is fine and warm, and wraps a pair of feet tightly but very light. Women in the Great Calendar are happy to bind their feet, and a pair of thin feet naturally can't wear this thing, but men love leather boots, because they are strong and wear-resistant and rain is not taboo.

Zhenshu straightened his feet and smiled, "I have never seen such a good thing." โ€

Yu Yichen got up, took a gray velvet blanket several feet long to cover her, wrapped it tightly on her knees, and then handed her a cup of warm hot tea and said, "In such a cold weather today, don't freeze to death." โ€
