Shi Yuan's bedroom is at the back of the main house, through the corridor, there is a blue yarn kitchen at the door, turning the screen, it is a small bedroom, the room is simple and a few furnishings, a few books are placed on the bookcase, and a clay bottle is full of crystal chrysanthemums. There are several words hanging on the wall of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info, writing famous sayings and aphorisms such as "erudition, interrogation, prudence, discernment, and practice", "black hair does not know how to study early, and the white head regrets studying late".

Shi Yuan was under the five words "broad view and appointment", tilting his body, pillowing his head with one hand and holding the book in the other, looking at it attentively.

Brother Ying thought he was working hard and didn't dare to disturb, so he stood at the door and poked in, thinking about whether to come back in a while. It happened that Shi Yuan looked up from the book and saw her, "Why are you standing at the door, come in." ”

Yesterday, I accompanied him to study in the study, Shi Yuan's bedroom Brother Ying hadn't come in yet, was there anyone else in front of him, Brother Ying didn't hesitate a little, leaned in, "You're alone, no one is waiting?" ”

Shi Yuan scratched his head, "Aren't you here to serve?" Pour me a cup of tea. ”

"Oh." Brother Ying promised in his mouth, but his steps did not move, "I asked someone else to pour it for you?" ”

Shi Yuan put the book on the table and looked at her funny, "What, there is a tiger in the house, afraid of eating you?" Why don't you come in and pour me tea? ”

Brother Ying had no choice but to walk to the table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and inadvertently glanced at the book he was reading, and the cover read "Six Chronicles of Yunzhou".

"Yunzhou? What is it? "It's been almost a month since I crossed here, but Brother Ying is still very confused about the era he is in, it doesn't seem to be a certain dynasty in known history, and she is surrounded by women who don't read and write, and she can't talk to others for no reason, so she has been vague, just right, take this opportunity to inquire with Shi Yuan.

Shi Yuan looked down at the cover of the book, "You still know how to read?" ”

"I know a few of them, you tell me what the book says. When I lived in the village, there was a private school next to it, and sometimes I would eavesdrop on my husband's lectures, and I thought there were a lot of stories in the books. "When I was a child, I also heard some storytelling, and Brother Ying made up a bridge that I heard from nowhere.

"You like to listen to stories?" Shi Yuan leaned over proudly, "Let me tell you, this is a good book, I was in the school, and it took a lot of effort to get it." This book was written by a great general in the previous dynasty, he led the army to fight for 30 years, fought countless battles, and returned to the field after he was old, recalling his horse career in the village, you don't know, he wrote a lot of marching and fighting, as well as a war horse he rode called Yunxiao, who died on the battlefield in order to save him, and his weapon, a scimitar called Black Ice...... My second brother is also leading troops to fight now......"

"Young Master Yuan, is this the book you want to learn in the academy?" He should have been interrupted coldly.

"Well, this is a casual look...... You haven't heard me talk about Mr. Zhang in our school, let me tell you, our gentleman is the leader of the second year of virtue, but because people are very stubborn, it is not good to be an official, so he will be a gentleman in the school......"

Brother Ying listened to Shi Yuan's chatter in confusion about some things, and finally couldn't help it, "Young Master Yuan, you peek at these idle books, such as smoke and auspicious moon, do they know it." ”

“…… Of course they don't know, I take you as a confidant, and I only talk to you. "Young Master Yuan's ruffian appearance has reappeared.

"If you don't study well and look at such useless things, then I'll say hello to my aunt and grandmother at night......"

"It's raining so hard outside, what are you running back and forth? My mother doesn't need you to say goodbye. Shi Yuan threw the book on the bed with a snap, "I thought you were a fun, it turned out to be the same as them, you go out, I don't need you to serve here, the province will supervise me." ”

Brother Ying not only didn't go out, but sat next to him, grinned, and comforted him, "For this little thing, of course, you don't have to bother your aunt, but there is a big thing in front of you, you can tell me the truth." ”

Shi Yuan lifted the window and looked out carelessly, the wooden trees in the yard were hit by the heavy rain and fell petals on the ground, and the pouring rain seemed to wipe out the whole world, making people forget where they were here and now, "What's the matter?" ”

"Long Xiangyuan lost something."

"Hmm."

"Can you see that?"

A gust of cold wind and rain came in from the window, Shi Yuan closed the window, swept the rain on his sleeves, and glanced at Brother Ying, "So, you saw it." ”

"When I came into the house last night, I saw something under your book, and I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, it looks like a painting."

Shi Yuan didn't make a sound, hugged his knees, and silently stared at the chrysanthemums in the earthen jar on the desk opposite.

Just when Brother Ying thought that Shi Yuan couldn't speak and was about to open his mouth to persuade him again, Shi Yuan suddenly said, "Under my pillow, you can find it and send it to my mother." ”

I didn't expect him to be so happy, since the things have been settled, Brother Ying is not in a hurry, she also poured herself a cup of tea, held it in her hand, thought about it, and asked Shi Yuandao, "Although I have been in the backyard for a short time, I also know a little about some things, my aunt and grandmother are not concerned about everything, so I only think about you, why do you do this?" ”

Shi Yuan glanced at Brother Ying, "My mother, before she got married, she was the daughter of Shangshu Mansion, the eldest daughter, do you know?" ”

How did the daughter of Shangshu Mansion become a concubine for others? Brother Ying has also read some Ming and Qing novels before, and knows that in the concept of the ancients, a concubine is simply an object, and it is not even as good as a favored girl, there are some rich and powerful masters, and they have to accept several concubines a year, and sometimes they are called concubines who are directly brought back from **, since the aunt is the daughter of Shangshu Mansion, even if it is to fill the house for others, it is also the lady of the Ming media is marrying, what is this?

"I listened to my mother (wet nurse) and told me that before my mother got married, her appearance was captivating, her heart was blue, and she had the true biography of the world's first amateur fiber eleven mother, embroidered a landscape picture, better than the famous calligraphy and painting, and when it came to the year of marriage, the rich sons in the capital rushed to my grandfather's house to propose. However, just because my grandfather wrote a poem, spread it outside, and was seen by the enemy, saying that it was sarcastic and secretly belittled the court, and someone flattered him, and sent it to the emperor, which angered the emperor, and a decree came down, and the whole Shangshu Mansion was filled with troops and was not allowed to return to the capital for life, and women were enlisted and enslaved for life. My grandfather was angry and immediately lay sick in bed, and when he was dying, he tried all his strength to ask someone to ask a good colleague to save my mother, and which colleague was in charge of marrying my mother to a general as a concubine. ”

"I see, it's more than a membership...... General's Mansion or ...... It's better. ”

"My mother's own daughter's body, if it weren't for the bad fate, how could it be reduced to their use of the cadre, they are good to my mother on the surface, but in order to call her, in recent years, my mother has embroidered long and short lengths, screen fan surfaces, to the outside, worth no less than a thousand gold, they praise my mother a sentence? Still bullying her vigorously, saying behind my back that my mother is not ......" Shi Yuan's eyes were red, and he wiped his eyes with his sleeve, "I hate them, I thought that I would take the painting outside to burn it when I went to school today, and when I came back, I would go to the eldest lady to admit my mistake, anyway, the painting is gone, and I don't have to work for my mother, they beat me and scolded me, I just have to suffer it myself, I don't have to strangle my mother~"

I didn't expect a boy to have such a deep thought, Brother Ying sighed, "You will only make your aunt more sad, although your aunt is tired of doing work, but you must know that you have this filial piety, she will also be happy." ”

Shi Yuan nodded, "Forget it, you can send it back, just say that I read the painting well, take it back and appreciate it, now I have seen enough." Just send them back, if you see that my mother is angry, you can help me comfort and comfort me, whatever, don't make her sad. ”

Brother Ying got up and went under the pillow to turn out a neat stack of drawing paper, wrapped it in a cloth, and hid it in his arms, "Don't worry, I know what to say, I'll come back to play with you later, let's close the courtyard door, I'll teach you a fun game." ”

"Really, then you come back quickly, I'll wait for you - ask someone to hold an umbrella for you, don't let the rain get wet." Shi Yuan instructed, got up and picked up the book of "Six Records of Yunzhou" again.

Brother Ying shook his head and came out of the house.
