Su Miao smiled slightly, scooped up a spoonful of sweet red bean paste with the fragrance of tangerine peel and put it in her mouth, which was smooth, soft and glutinous, luscious and attractive. She pursed her lips and narrowed her eyebrows again with pleasure:

"There is a rustling feeling, but it is precisely because of this rustling feeling that the sweetness can be tasted more delicately, so the slightly rough texture is more special."

Ning Le was dumbfounded, I don't know if she was boasting about her craftsmanship or purely praising this dessert, anyway, she was boasting, and she really wanted to measure her face.

"Isn't this the true portrayal of the legend that 'it is easier to taste sweetness because it has been tempered', just like drinking bitter tea and then eating dim sum will become very sweet?" Su Miao scratched her cheek with her fingers, thought for a moment, and nodded with understanding, "No wonder the ancients said that food is full of philosophy, it is indeed very reasonable. ”

It has been tempered to make it easier to taste the sweetness...... Is it?

Ning Le's heart sank slightly while he was slightly stunned, paused, and smiled: "The ancients didn't say that kind of thing, it's obvious that you made it up, and besides, red bean paste and tea and dim sum are completely different things." ”

"Whoever said it, it's one thing to be clear, don't deny it if you don't understand it, it's one thing if I say it's one thing!"

Ning Le smiled, held the bowl in both hands and was silent for a while, raised his head, although his tone was understated, there was a solemnity in his eyes that he had never seen before, and he said to her:

"I thought about it during the day, and I plan to go down with Brother Yan in next year's county test. If I can pass the test, there is nothing to say, if I can't pass the test, it will be a test for me, and I will test my level. It's better to plan ahead. ”

"Hmm...... There's nothing wrong with that. Su Miao neither ridiculed nor persuaded him to give up this unrealistic idea to avoid disappointment, she just nodded slightly and replied, "Anyway, the registration fee is not expensive, and there is no limit to the number of references, so there is nothing to lose by taking a test." ”

Ning Le's reaction to her was not surprising, she often expressed her attitude that she had nothing to do with her when something happened on weekdays. But he thought she would say more this time, but she really didn't say anything. Just when he thought she wouldn't say it again, she said:

"Since you want to prepare for the exam. You should still work hard to get into the exam, it's one thing to fail the exam, and it's another thing not to work hard, so I'll tell you a good thing. She said with a smile.

"What?" He was stunned. Ask.

Su Miao raised her eyebrows. smiled: "According to Xiao Weiwei himself, he used to study in Guozijian, and he studied very well. ”

Ning Le was slightly stunned, and then suddenly understood what Su Miao meant, he couldn't go to school without Mr. Teaching has a poor foundation, although he has made up his mind, but the problem of strength cannot be confused. No wonder Su Yanshu reads well, and there is a ready-made gentleman at home. Guozijian is the highest institution of learning in Yueliang Kingdom.

"He didn't participate in the imperial examination?" He asked suspiciously.

"He said he wasn't interested. Anyway, even if he doesn't participate in the imperial examination, he won't have to worry about traveling all over the world with a skill in hand. ”

Ning Le was a little tempted, if he could let Huiwei, a person who had studied in Guozijian, be his guide for the provisional examination, he might really change something, but he hated Huiwei, and he hated him, so he wouldn't be willing to teach him. And facing the face that was colder than a coffin was a torment in itself, let alone studying under his teaching. He put one hand on his cheek and said hesitantly:

"Even if he has studied Guozijian, I don't want to stay with him, colder than ice cubes and more gloomy than ghosts, and his mouth is always sarcastic, and I will get goosebumps all over my body when I stay with this kind of person for half an hour......"

"You're wrong!" Su Miao pointed at the tip of his nose with a spoon and said seriously, "Now is not the time to worry about whether you are willing or not, at such an important moment, don't talk about goosebumps, even if you have rashes and blisters, you have to do your best for things that are beneficial to you." The carp jumps over the dragon gate and never turns into a dragon without sharpening its scales into shiny ones. In order to achieve your own goals, let alone endure goosebumps, even if he asks you to kneel down and kowtow to him, you should do it. Self-esteem is indeed very important, but in the face of a result that is beneficial to yourself, holding on to useless self-esteem that hinders the outcome is just a matter of saving face, and holding on to it when self-esteem becomes useless will only make you stagnate, don't let important things become stumbling blocks to you in the end! ”

“…… So you're one of those people. The corners of Ning Le's eyebrows twitched, looking at her impassionedness, and said speechlessly.

"I'm just building yì, it's your business anyway. However, you actually want to breathe a sigh of relief for yourself by participating in the county exam," Su Miao smiled and pierced his mind, "In that case, for this goal, let go of all psychological obstacles and do what you can do now." If you try your best and still lose, there is no way, but if you have something you can do but don't do it for various reasons, then you will regret it. You also know in your heart that you are short and have no outstanding talent, and the only father who dotes on you can no longer be your lifelong supporter, and the only way you can raise your eyebrows now is to study and participate in scientific examinations. ”

“…… It turns out that you are also very vicious in your speech. Ning Le hung his head and was silent for a long time, muttering quietly.

"Huh? Do you have the impression that I speak very softly? She asked in surprise.

The corners of Ning Le's lowered eyebrows twitched fiercely.

"Xiao Lele," Su Miao called out with a smile, Ning Le raised her head suspiciously, but saw her smile and said softly, "No matter what you have to do, do it, I support you!" She clenched her fists vigorously and spoke in a serious tone.

I support you, a very simple and simple sentence, but Ning Le has never heard of it, but a few simple words are a kind of identity, a kind of support, and another way of saying "I'm on your side". No one has ever been on his side, not to mention fox friends and dog friends, even his doting father is angry at his lack of growth with disappointed and helpless eyes every time, for the first time in his life, someone has expressed his willingness to stand on his side, and he did not laugh at his decision. Instead, he is encouraged to do what he wants. For a moment, he actually felt supported, although it was a bit funny. He did laugh......

Ning Le really likes sweets, and before returning to the room, he scooped away a large bowl of red bean paste, he left with his front feet, and after savoring it, he stepped in, stared at Su Miao's back, and said unhappily:

"You're giving me nothing to do again."

"Did you hear that?" Su Miao turned her head with a smile and shook her fingers. "Tsk, little taste, eavesdropping is a bad behavior!"

Aftertaste stared at her fingers wagging in front of his eyes. There was an urge to bite into it: "I don't want to teach a fool." ”

"I'm just giving him a little bit of advice, as for whether he will beg you, whether you will agree to teach him, that's your business with him." Su Miao said to him with a smile. "But you can teach a fool to become a talent. You'll also have a great sense of accomplishment, right? ”

"I'm not interested in that kind of thing." Aftertaste said with a face.

Su Miao looked at him and flattened his mouth, paused and smiled, and patted the two brothers on his shoulder: "In short, you are both part of the 'Downtrodden Group' that was picked up, so let's work hard amicably with each other!" ”

"I hate that title." Aftertaste stared at her displeased and said.

"What are you doing in the kitchen?" Su Miao ignored his protest and asked with a smile.

Aftertaste stood in front of the stove, glanced at the sweet and tempting tangerine peel and red bean paste in the pot, and said lightly: "I want to eat it too." ”

Su Miao was stunned: "Didn't you say that you don't like to eat sweet and greasy things." I asked you if you wanted to eat it, and you said you wouldn't. ”

"I've changed my mind." He was not embarrassed at all because of the backtracking, and said lightly with his chin high.

Kook!

Su Miao had no choice but to take a bowl of red bean paste and hand it to the young master who changed his mind faster than turning a book.

Aftertaste sits at the table and eats silently. Ate bowl after bowl. Su Miao sat opposite him and looked at him in astonishment, asking:

"Are you okay, I don't even like sugar water in the past, why can you eat so sweet today, and your stomach is upset?"

Aftertaste shook his head, ate the last bowl of red bean paste, and wiped his lips calmly with a handkerchief.

People who don't like sweets will feel sick to their stomachs if they consume too much sugar, but why did he eat so much today, Su Miaohu blinked his eyes suspiciously, and he still hasn't answered positively whether his sense of taste has recovered or not, could it be that he hasn't recovered his sense of taste yet, so it doesn't matter how much he eats?

"It would be better if the bean paste was more delicate." Aftertaste's face was a little strange, and it was slightly pale when the light was shining, he commented lightly, Huo Di stood up, and went out.

"Oh!" Su Miao stared at his back in astonishment, and responded sluggishly.

Aftertaste strode out of the kitchen, and when he walked to the door of his room, he couldn't help but cover his lips, eating too many sweets was a little disgusting, and the feeling of sweetness in his mouth was very annoying, but how could he allow her carefully cooked things to be eaten by a foreign boy, no matter what, he just didn't allow it!

So when Ning Le went to the kitchen with a big bowl and asked Su Miao, who was washing the dishes, if he still had red bean paste, Su Miao regretfully told him that he had eaten all the aftertaste, and Ning Le was disappointed when he heard this.

In the early morning of summer, the sky has just revealed the white of the fish belly, and none of them have yet mixed into the noisy breath of life, and all of them are pure and refreshing, like a faint ink painting, which is filled with the unique clear fragrance of the early morning.

After practicing a set of slow Tai Chi techniques, he sat on a rocking chair and sipped a cup of warm and pleasant black tea. This is his habit every morning, after practicing boxing, he sits quietly for a while, sipping weak tea leisurely, feeling the breath of the early morning and listening to the breeze.

After taking a sip of black tea, he subconsciously touched his stomach, because he ate too many sweets, he didn't sleep well for half the night, fortunately he was fine, his thoughts were sometimes really naïve, and he sighed to himself speechlessly.

At this moment, the courtyard door was gently pushed open, and Ning Le came in from outside, holding a thick copy of "Ming Jing Examination" in his hand. "Ming Jing Exam" is a kind of book for exam preparation, which is full of fill-in-the-blank questions listed from the words and sentences extracted from the classic ancient texts, which is a treasure book for dealing with the Ming Jing subject, and ordinary people have memorized it day and night when they start to learn articles, this is the foundation, even Su Yan has already memorized it under his supervision when he returned to school, Ning Le has only started now, and it can't be too late.

Ning Le didn't expect the aftertaste to be in the courtyard, so he was startled, and subconsciously hid the "Ming Jing Examination" behind him, and turned his face away, his expression was a little embarrassed.

Aftertaste ignored him, he was not a warm-hearted person, and drank slowly with the teacup. Unexpectedly, Ning Le hesitated for a moment, and suddenly rubbed over, stood in front of him, blushed, and stumbled while thinking about what to call him:

"Return, return to big brother." When he asked for help, he couldn't call him "a dead boy, a ghost, and a little white face", so he racked his brains to come up with such a name.

The aftertaste was chilled by this title, and he took a sip of tea and pressed it, and glanced at him:

"Do what?"

His coldness made Ning Le more and more embarrassed, and he was bored for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Go back to the eldest brother, teach me to read!" ”

"Why?" Aftertaste asked lightly.

Why? Why?

Ning Le scratched his head, thought for a long time, clapped his hand, and said with a smile: "Do you think, if I am admitted to the champion in the future because you taught me, then you will be the master of the champion, what a glorious thing!" “

"Enlightened at the age of four, there is only less than a year left before the exam, and he is still memorizing the "Ming Jing Exam", such a fool can also be admitted to the top prize?" Aftertaste laughed.

Ning Le's face turned even redder, he touched his nose in embarrassment, thought for a long time, and said in a curt:

"Either I'll be a little boy for you, as long as you teach me to read, I'll do whatever you tell me to do." Uttering such disrespectful words almost exhausted all his courage, and his face turned redder as if he could drip blood.

I didn't expect that he, who had always had a strong sense of self-esteem, would be able to say such a thing, he was slightly stunned, looked at him in surprise, thought for a moment, shook his head and said:

"I'm not interested in people who are clumsy and love to make people, just because they are said a few words and leave their jobs and never look back, and there is no apology for people who do nothing, just being provoked a few words and not looking at their own ability, they are anxious to fight for a breath, impulsive and reckless, willful, and like a fool who listens to your words and encourages you to do it."

Ning Le was naturally angry when he was evaluated like this, especially when he also said that Su Miao, who encouraged him, was also a fool, not only completely repudiating him, but also his alliance. His fists gradually tightened, and just when he thought he would leave angrily, Ning Le suddenly knelt in front of him with a plop, and just lowered his head and said a word:

"Go back to Big Brother and teach me to read!"

Aftertaste was startled, almost fell out of his chair, and looked at him in amazement.

Inside the wings.

Su Miao left the window with a cup of honey tea and chuckled, "I'm very motivated!" ”

"Sister Miao, what did you say?" Chunniang rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked.

Su Miao didn't answer, just smiled. (To be continued......)
