At this moment, it is just the time of the rabbit outside, the night has not yet dissipated, there are three or two points of starlight hanging outside the sky, Ban'er is worried about Sister Qiao, and she has not slept well all night, so she got up early. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info heard a strange noise in the wing room at this time, and unconsciously looked back, Sister Qiao just wore the old moon white satin jacket that Qing'er usually weared, and the two of them were embarrassed when they saw and thought about last night's events.

Ban'er didn't see Qing'er, so she asked Sister Qiao: "Did the young girl sleep to death, why did you come out, but she didn't see a shadow?" As soon as the words fell, Qing'er also came out from behind Sister Qiao in full dress, and hurriedly answered: "Brother, what did you say I came from, who slept to death?" It's just that I got up late, and I listened to you crackling here early in the morning, and it was so noisy that people didn't feel uncomfortable. ”

Ban'er was grabbed by her, coughed out of her mouth, saw that Sister Qiao was still standing, and talked to her again: "It's not dawn this day, why don't you sleep more?" ”

Qing'er belched and smiled: "It shows that you are an eccentric person, the girl got up early, you have something to say, but I will die of sleep later." I want you to know that the girl wakes up early for a reason. ”

Ban'er looked at it and said busily, "What is the reason?" ”

Qing'er smiled at Sister Qiao, and said: "The girl said that she wanted to get up and follow her father and mother to work in the field, and I don't know how much I figured it out yesterday. ”

Sister Qiao made her say a little embarrassed, and hurriedly pulled Qing'er's sleeve and asked her to stop talking. Ban'er couldn't see it when she saw it, laughed a few times with Qing'er, and persuaded Sister Qiao: "In my opinion, the work in this field is not enough for a while to need people, so the girl should be bored and panicked, go to the house and take a look at grandma." I heard my mother say that my grandmother was feeling unwell this morning, so the girl went to talk to her old man. ”

Qing'er heard that she was busy pushing Sister Qiao into her grandmother's house, seeing that her face was haggard and no longer her former appearance, and she really looked a little sick, so she asked Sister Qiao to sit in her grandmother's house according to her words, and went to the gray shed to make breakfast by herself. Ban'er saw that although she was a girl who grew up in the countryside, because of her young age, she didn't worry about letting her out, so she asked Qing'er to stay, she wore a white velvet scarf and a half-used brown robe, groped for a few copper coins from the cabinet, and went to the pharmacy on Xuanping Street under the bridge to grab medicine.

As soon as Qing'er saw that he had gone, Sister Qiao and Grandma had nothing to do, so they soaked grain seeds under the eaves of the front yard with peace of mind. Let's say that yesterday Aunt Li went home, and the kung fu of cooking a meal told all the words about how a handsome girl came to Grandma Liu's house next door and how to make noise, because she has always liked to talk about things and things in two places, Li Zhu listened to two sentences, and he was irritable, but he never remembered it. Li Shunai listened to her, and heard about Grandma Liu's family, so she became more and more interested. He is about the same age as Ban'er, and the two of them are stubborn and good, like a mother who came out, for a while for the hand of the old man Zhou's family to herd sheep, Ban'er was greedy for errands, he was not greedy, so he was a little estranged.

This time Zizi heard that there was a fairy-like character, Li Shun only exaggerated his mother, not only did he not believe it, but he also wanted to take a look in person, and mocked Ban'er by the way. It's also a coincidence, he got up early and had nothing to do, he listened to the sound of chopping wood next door in his yard, and knew that someone was up, and when the day was brighter, he vaguely heard the sound of the door over there, he didn't know that it was the door opened by Ban'er, and thought it was the dog and his wife, so he wanted to take advantage of their departure to pass.

I didn't know that when I got to the door, I carefully lay down on the crack of the door and looked at it a few times, but I didn't see the board, and I didn't see the girl his mother said, but I saw Qing'er's thin back sitting there, looking down and not knowing what to do, and I couldn't help but feel bored. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a soft voice in the courtyard saying: "Sister Qing'er, grandma asked you if there is any tea, if so, pour some more." Qing'er hurriedly agreed, and was about to serve tea and water.

Li Shun stood suspiciously when he heard this, and looked in again on the crack of the door, and really saw a half-old girl standing under the door of the main house, very outstanding, with a slender physique and a slender body, and Li Shun couldn't move his steps at just one glance.

Sister Qiao didn't know that someone outside looked at her like this, after a night of hard thinking and meditation, today she has already thrown away her past heart to die, full of waiting for a good opportunity to go back to find the whereabouts of her father and grandfather, and save Ping'er and others from fire and water. Therefore, the ambition is square, which is convenient for the chic base in the action, and does not take into account the food and clothing at home in the past, and then the grandmother is like serving her own grandmother, but the grandmother is not happy, and she is called back to the house to rest in the house.

Sister Qiao just didn't follow, and seeing that Qing'er hadn't brought out tea for a long time, she came over in person and asked, "Is there no tea?" ”

Qing'er squatted there and added firewood and grass to the stove, while looking up and smiling: "Wait a while, the water that was boiled before was made for breakfast, and you have to burn it freshly if you want to drink it at this time." ”

Sister Qiao also squatted down, pushed her and said, "Then you are busy with your going, I will boil water here." ”

Qing'er smiled: "Will you do this?" Sister Qiao said: "Why wouldn't I, these days, only Tianchai boiled water to learn the most decent, if you don't believe it, just stand over and watch me burn it once." As he spoke, he squeezed past Qing'er and burned himself. Qing'er had no choice but to sit on the side, gossiping with Sister Qiao while picking grains.

Li Shun saw Sister Qiao close to her outside the door, half of her body had already been crispy, she was used to being wild in the countryside every day, although she had also seen neat girls, in the end they were not as graceful and generous as Sister Qiao, and he was at the age of causing trouble, how could he not worry about it. So he turned around and didn't go home, ran all the way to find Ban'er, but asked Sister Qiao which of his relatives was.

was running to the side of the bridge, just when Ban'er grabbed the medicine and came back, the two bumped into each other, Ban'er thought that Li Shun would be annoyed that he still wanted to bypass him, but he didn't want Li Shun to be polite and affectionate, so he went up and hugged him and smiled: "Brother Ban'er, where did you come from, but I am easy to find." ”

Ban'er was surprised, but he also smiled on his face: "Is Brother Shun good?" Our grandmother's body is uncomfortable again, so I just went to grab the medicine, where is Brother Shun going? ”

Li Shun said: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just going to find you." I would like to ask you, when someone came to the house and didn't let us know, if it wasn't for my mother, who would I have said? ”

Ban'er probably guessed who he was talking about, but he was just pretending to be confused, and secretly deduced that he was the distant sister of the clan family, who came here to live for two days and left, but didn't say anything else, and was afraid that Li Shun would also listen to the rumors and suspect Sister Qiao, so he hurriedly took the conversation and said: "You came by coincidence, I have something to tell you, there are a lot of things at home today, I am afraid that I will not be able to go to Master Zhou's place, yesterday Uncle Fu also told me to find someone to accompany me, and invited a few young masters on the Zhuangzi next door to eat and drink, why don't you go for me, He also knows you, but it's just a heavy job that is convenient for no one to call for two sentences. When I'm done with my family, I'll replace you. ”

As soon as Li Shun said this, he put aside Sister Qiao's matter in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Why didn't you say this earlier, is Uncle Fu still living in Zhuangzi now?" If so, I'll go now. ”

Ban'er smiled and said that he was over there, and the two of them left separately. But said that the Fu Uncle in their mouths is the Zhou Fuxiang, the son of Zhou Yuanwai mentioned earlier, the word Yanqing, rushed to the township test before coming home, just when the imperial court issued a new decree, saying that after the township test in various provinces, the edict was sent to the university scholars, scholars, squires, imperial envoys, deputy imperial envoys, and those who have children in Beijing and the township examination in the province who have not been in the Chinese style for more than 20 years, can take one person and send a request to the cabinet.

As soon as this edict reached the provinces and ministries, all the adults in the family who had children to take the exam were all up and down, like Zhou Fuxiang and others, on the one hand, they felt that the court was so kind to the officials and nobles, and on the other hand, they only had the share of dry staring, so they were not troubled, so Zhou Yuanwai and Mrs. Zhou were worried that he was sulking at home and broke his body, so they asked the little servants to take him to Zhuangzi. When he has nothing to do, he watches the fields and cultivates, and when he has something, he orders him to take care of it in the house, and asks him to read the book carefully.

Although the little servants did not agree to it in person, once they left their own house and arrived in this place where no one was controlled, they were like wild horses that had escaped and splashed. Zhou Fuxiang was a good-natured child, and he thought that his nature could not be imprisoned, so he let them play around and did not discipline them much. At that time, Ban'er was on Zhuangzi for a few days, and he was the same year as Zhou Fuxiang, he was honest and amiable, not as good as those unorthodox boys who followed Zhou Fuxiang on weekdays, and he had his own sense and rules when he spoke, and he was sensitive and studious, although he didn't have much knowledge, fortunately Zhou Fuxiang was willing to tell him some simple words, and the two were very affectionate when they met.

Li Shun occasionally followed his old son to Zhuangzi, and he also met the little son of the Zhou family a few times, but he was not as familiar with Ban'er as well. Now I heard that Gongzi was short of manpower, and with his good manners, how could he not rush forward to offer courtesy. So he hurriedly went, Zhou Fuxiang had already changed into a student shirt, jade-colored silk, wide-sleeved soap, and the little guys behind him were wearing green cloth short clothes, and they were wearing Laon shoes.

As soon as Li Shun saw him. Hurriedly stepped forward and asked Andao: "Uncle Fu is good." ”

Zhou Fuxiang grabbed his arm with a smile and said, "Why did you come here, I told Ban'er a while ago that I haven't seen you for a long time, but it makes people miss, why did he tell you to come together?" ”

Li Shun bowed and said: "There is no doubt that Brother Ban'er told me, but he didn't come with me, saying that his grandmother was sick at home and needed someone to take care of him, and he would come to say hello to the uncle when he was done." ”

Zhou Fuxiang smiled when he heard this: "The weather is warm and cold, and the elderly people can't afford it, he has this filial piety, and we can't force him to come." Now that I've asked someone to go to the wine shop to the east, now that you're here, let's go with you. ”

Li Shunxiao agreed, followed behind Zhou Fuxiang and the others, and went to the wine shop together.
