After Gu Zhan left, Bai Qi secretly said to Calamus: "Calamus, you can't tell my brother about this." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Calamus hesitated and said, "Does it really matter?"

Bai Qi nodded confidently and said, "Naturally, you still can't believe me!" It's just that this child ......" Bai Qi looked at Ning Shuang, patted the child's head comfortingly, and said, "This child has to be entrusted to you to take care of for the time being." I wanted to take care of him myself, but if I took him with me, I would be questioned by my brother. My brother is most jealous of me fighting with others, and he will never agree to the matter of fighting with Ning Huang. ”

Calamus thought about it, and there was really no better way at the moment, so she had to respond, and said: "Bai Qi, if you are not defeated, you can't force it!"

Bai Qi smiled: "I am ruthless in my life, I gave my life for such a scum, it is really not worth it, you don't know what it took me to get my life back." He paused for a moment, a trace of unknown emotion flashed in his eyes, and he immediately returned to a smiling face and said, "Calamus, why did you come to the academy today?" It's rare to take the initiative to come. ”

Calamus then remembered to go to find Liu Ran to paint the pattern, but unfortunately it was a little late at this time, she sighed, thinking that she could only come to Liu Ran tomorrow, and said: "I originally came to see Liu Ran, but unfortunately there is not enough time, so I will bring Ning Shuang to my house first, and I will bring him over tomorrow."

"That's good, of course." Bai Qian nodded reassuringly, he smiled, and threatened the child again: "Go back and be obedient, don't make Sister Calamus angry, do you hear?"

Ning Shuang nodded submissively, her big eyes were foggy, and when Bai Qi saw him, she could always think of herself back then, and she couldn't help but feel pity. Calamus was amused when she saw it, Bai Qi has always been the lively appearance of the little brother on weekdays, and it was the first time I had seen him tell others so calmly.

"Alright, alright, you can go." Calamus smiled and plucked him: "You are so busy today, and you came to help me a lot, I must repay you well if I have the opportunity."

Bai Qi said: "It's natural to help you." Now that my brother, the eldest and Brother Yanmei are not here, you have been bullied in the academy, isn't it my great fault. But I really have something to do today, and there are still a lot of things to do in the front hall, so I won't send you away, so you just walk along this road all the way, and you can see the next person after walking for a while. With that, he nodded to the calamus, kicked his feet, and climbed onto the roof.

Calamus looked at Bai Qi's distant back, touched Ning Shuang, and said with a gentle smile: "You come home with me in a while, there is a big brother with a low IQ, no matter what he says, don't take it to heart, okay?"

"Okay."

"If he robs you of food, you give it to him, and my sister will buy it for you."

"Okay."

"If he cries out to throw you out, he must not be sincere, don't believe it."

"Good ......."

Seeing that Ning Shuang was so well-behaved, Calamus liked it even more, and asked him with a smile, "Do you have anything you want to eat!"

"I ...... I think" Ning Shuang secretly stuck out her tongue and said, "I want to taste the sugar gourd......."

"Okay," Calamus said even more distressed when she saw the boy's panicked appearance, "Let's go buy sugar gourds." You can eat as much as you want, is it good to eat enough? ”

The boy nodded, almost in tears.

He still vaguely remembers eating sugar gourd once when he was five years old.

He still remembered the old man, with a gray beard and always smiling. He secretly went to see it every day, but he never had the money to buy it. He wasn't called Ning Shuang at that time, he was probably called Ning Rong at that time, or Ning Gui. His name had to be changed every six months, and he struggled with all his might to climb to the frost position of forty, and looking back, he walked up on the blood of dozens of his brothers.

When the old man saw that he came to buy sugar gourds every day, he thought he was cute, so he took off a bunch of unsold sugar gourds, handed them to him, and said, "Child, take them and eat them."

He was overjoyed, bent down to thank the old man, and ran to his room with the precious sugar gourd in his hand, licking it in small bites...... It's so sweet, like honey, after a bite, my heart will melt,

The sugar gourd, he only licked a few bites, and was slapped to the ground. When he saw it, he screamed and hurriedly picked it up, but the other party stomped on the back of his hand and stepped on it fiercely. The sugar gourd had already rolled a few times and was covered with dirt.

"Garbage is going to eat garbage!" "Hahahahaha

Several children laughed arrogantly, and tears of anger welled up in his eyes......

"Here you go." A sugar gourd stretched out in front of him, the hawthorn was larger and rounder than the one he had when he was a child, and the sugar coating was thicker and brighter than the one he had when he was a child. Xia Iris held the string of sugar gourds and smiled gently and kindly.

The boy's heart, which had already become cold, warmed up little by little, he thought he was a puppet, he thought he had become a puppet, doing things mechanically every day, without a trace of emotion. And at this time, his heart was beating violently, making him feel like he was alive again. Calamus's face was red by the sunset, it was a warm color, there were many pedestrians on the street, constantly shuttling around them, only calamus, as if it was still, Ning Shuang's dark eyes looked at the calamus deeply, took the string of sugar gourds, and licked it.

Sweet, so sweet, so sweet that he wanted to cry, so sweet that he wanted to melt in this sunset and live again.

――――――――――――――――――――――

There is a meeting room in the academy, and no one except Xu Zong can enter at will.

The house was built in the early days of the academy, and to this day, it has a history of 1,000 years. The house has been repaired countless times, but the inside is still the same as it was thousands of years ago, antique and extremely elegant. Every three years, the college gathers the bearers of the cross card to gather here, which is also the rule of the college for thousands of years, and it cannot be changed.

There was a huge round table with ten seats around it. The crosses are seated in order, in no particular order.

Xu Zong, the dean holding the righteous card, sat on the main seat, and beside him was Jiang Wangchuan, who was holding the Ren card. After that, there was Ji Mingsi of the royal family who held the word Li, Gu Zhan who held the Zhi brand, Zhong Jiaming who held the good brand, Ning Tian who held the thrifty card and Ye Liu who held the concession card. The atmosphere in the hall is solemn and abnormal, and no unrelated people are allowed to enter.

Ye Liu, who was proficient in the soul separation clan, cleared his throat and spoke first. He is in his sixties, and he is usually the most thoughtful, and he speaks the most bitterly, and today is no exception. He slowly touched his beard, narrowed his big eyes and said, "Wen Gong's second card is no longer there, what's the matter, is there even a letter card?"

The letter plate is owned by the military advisors who are defending against the barbarians in the north.

Xu Zong said "hehe" twice, and said: "Yin Junshi is in danger of the military situation in the north, and he really can't come back this time, and the letter of leave has been delivered to me half a month ago."

This has been said very clearly, Yin Yi can't come back to attend the meeting because of state affairs, and he has already apologized, let's go downhill.

But the patriarchs of the major families didn't look very good, they all traveled a long way to the capital, and Yin Yi's behavior of asking for leave seriously snubbed them.

Ye Liu frowned and said reluctantly: "It turns out that Yin Junshi, a busy man, can't be in place because he is entangled in state affairs, it seems that we are too idle." As he spoke, he exchanged glances with a few people around him.

"Eh, I said Old Man Ye, why do you talk so much!" Jiang Wangchuan on the side couldn't help it, and scolded and scolded: "Why are you still a girl after three years of not seeing, just you have a mouth!" Deaf? Didn't you hear people say that Yin Yi couldn't come back after fighting barbarians in the north? You have the ability to hit you, and you talk like a fart! ”

Before Ye Liu could refute, Xu Zong said reproachfully on the side: "Wangchuan, shut up!" Jiang Wangchuan listened to Xu Zong's scolding, and then closed his mouth.

Ye Liu was bullied by the two brothers, one with a red face and the other with a white face, and he had nothing to say, so he had to shut up angrily, his face was blue.

Ji Mingsi watched from the side and secretly laughed.

Zhong Jiaming, the head of the Zhong family, also opened his mouth, he was in his fifties, his body was wide and fat, his eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled, and he looked extremely kind. He said to Gu Zhan, who was sitting beside him:

"I haven't seen Gu Lao for a long time, how is he doing?"

Gu Zhan hurriedly got up and said, "Grandpa is in good health, but he accidentally sprained his leg a few days ago. Because of the sudden lack of preparation, I had to come to the meeting instead of my grandfather. ”

"It's okay, Gu Lao has to cultivate well."

"The junior must convey your words to grandpa."

Zhong Jiaming touched the top of his head, and suddenly said to Xu Zong: "Eh, Old Xu, that girl from the Gu family is not in your mansion?"

"Exactly." Xu Zongdao.

"I've often heard people say that girl is so talented that she can talk and calculate? I'll definitely check it out when I have time! Zhong Jiaming said.

Gu Zhan was on the side, slightly embarrassed. He was originally very proud of the fact that he came to the academy meeting instead of his grandfather, but this topic always turned to Gu Banxia. He Gu Zhan is the eldest son of the Gu family, but he is always pressed down by a girl. Nowadays, when people talk about the Gu family, it is Gu Banxia, and there is no half of him Gu Zhan.

He forcibly suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said with a smile: "The younger generation may not have seen my sister for a long time, but this time, my sister has really improved a lot."

Xu Zong smiled, undeniable.

However, Ye Liu, who was on the side, had not completely lost his anger, so he happened to grab the handle, and said proudly: "Look at Gu Lao, although he is injured, he also knows to send someone!" What he meant was to imply Yin Yi's neglect of the academy.

This time, it was not only Jiang Wangchuan, but even Xu Zong's face darkened. Who in the world doesn't know that the Yin family is thin, do you want to send the family? He was dissatisfied, and when he saw Jiang Wangchuan standing up and was about to scold, he was hesitating to stop it, when suddenly, he remembered a crisp knock on the door.

Everyone was stunned, during this meeting, there were still outsiders who dared to enter?

The door creaked open, and then a little hairy head with a pair of large, misty eyes rolled through the crack of the door, a little boy no more than ten years old.

The little boy walked in, pursed his lips, showed a pair of dimples, raised the letter card in his hand, and said with a smile: "Am I not going the wrong way?"

Everyone was still stunned, Ji Mingsi was the first to slap the table and stand up, and shouted in surprise:

"Yin Qinkite!"
