Chapter 145: The Heart Is Higher Than the Sky
Su Miao glanced at the clerk, smiled and sent the onlookers back to continue working, and asked the clerk:
"Would you like to take a day off today?"
"Out of the way." The clerk touched his bandaged forehead, "It's just a hole, not tight." ”
"What's not to matter?" Wen, who was holding Hu's hand and complaining, heard that Su Miao took the initiative to take a vacation, and immediately came over and said, "Look at your forehead, it's all wrapped like this, the owner has said that it doesn't matter if you take a day off, you don't rest, what if something goes wrong because of this, how can you participate, if you have a problem, how can you participate in this year's hospital exam!" ”
"It's not in the way, Miss Lu Er didn't hit hard, and she usually suffered much heavier than this. I don't do anything that hurts my body, I don't care. The clerk lowered his head and whispered.
Wen Shi heard him mention the usual beatings in public, his face was blue and white, and he smiled wryly.
"Since you don't rest, then you can sit for a while, and then you will come forward when the door is opened." After Su Miao finished talking to the clerk, she smiled and persuaded Wen, "Don't be too angry, the clerk is also kind just now, and kindness is the most rare." ”
Wen reluctantly smiled and nodded, Su Miao went into the restaurant, and when she stepped on the threshold, she heard Wen in the courtyard whispering a reprimand:
"The owner said that you can take a day off, why are you still strong? She didn't say that you would be deducted from your salary, wouldn't it be good to take a day off with your salary, and you can still take a good day off. You can't fail in this year's college exam anyway, but you've been acting like a real guy every day lately. If you don't take care of the book, how can you be good during the scientific examination! ”
"I read books every day. I know all of this. Mother, the proprietor took pity on us and let us work here, we should be cautious in our words and deeds and not cause trouble for the proprietor. The clerk bowed his head. The tip of his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he looked at the ground and said.
"What pity us? Is it me working less or are you working less, and she pities us? When Wen Shi heard this, his self-esteem was stabbed severely, and he became angry, staring at his side face and saying angrily, "She pays the salary and we will work for her." Why are we getting her in trouble? Why is your brain more and more incomprehensible to me, since you got to know this family, your temper has become more and more weird, what the hell are you thinking all day long? ”
There was a sense of irritability that she couldn't tell. It was a feeling he had never felt before. All along, he only had his mother in his life, and the only person he had contact with in his life was also his mother, and the others were all symbolic characters to him. Mother was always right, and he always thought so. But since his mother was seriously ill, he forced himself to come out to work. He was now beginning to feel that he was increasingly unable to understand his mother. However, he was raised by his mother, and his mother worked very hard, and he could not disobey his mother no matter what, so he just hung his head and whispered:
"Didn't think about anything. Mother, don't worry, I will study hard and work hard, and I will definitely pass the college exam this time. ”
Wen, who got the promise, was finally satisfied, and her anxious mood calmed down because of her son's promise: "It's good that you think so." Let my mother see what if there is a scar on this forehead. She frowned, holding the paperwork's face in both hands. After carefully looking at the bandage for a long time, "You have to pay attention to it in the future." Dangerous places don't go up to make up, in case you hurt your head, in case you break the phase, how can you take the champion exam and marry the princess in the future! ”
Su Miao, who was leaning on the door panel and eavesdropping, didn't expect Wen to have this kind of thought, and was stunned, but the aftertaste of leaning against the door panel with her laughed silently. Su Miaosheng was afraid that he would be embarrassed to be found out when he laughed, so she glared at him, took his hand and walked inside.
"What are you laughing at?" She asked.
"I laughed at Aunt Wen's abacus well, but after Yue Liangguo's concubine became married, in addition to hanging a false title of concubine, he was not allowed to enter the dynasty to participate in politics for life, and she didn't want Princess Shang to die, she finally raised a Jinke champion just to send it to the princess's mansion to eat soft rice?" Aftertaste couldn't help but laugh.
Su Miao blinked her eyes twice and said, "Maybe in her opinion, there is nothing wrong with eating the princess's soft rice, or she changed her mind to marry the county lord's mother as a daughter-in-law when she knew this." ”
"The character of the clerk, if he is really a princess, he will definitely live a short life." The aftertaste seems to think of something, and the more I feel funny, I say.
The two of them walked to the entrance of the kitchen connecting the outfield, and saw Lin Yan, Su Xian, and Chunniang gathered together, and Chunniang muttered in confusion:
"Do you think that Aunt Wen seems to hate having a girl approaching the paperwork, just now she also said that other people's girls are goblins, and asked the clerk to close her eyes, why, it's so strange!"
Su Xian shrugged her shoulders and snorted: "Xianggong died early, a woman who brought his son to his life and only had this son in his life, you can't look at her according to the eyes of ordinary people, otherwise you will feel terrible." ”
"I think Aunt Yiwen has such a high heart, she definitely wants her son to marry a noble daughter-in-law, so she naturally closes her eyes to those who are not good, otherwise she will not be able to marry a noble daughter-in-law if her heart is hot for a while." Lin Yan said seriously.
"Does she still want to marry a princess as a daughter-in-law?" Su Xian said with a smile.
Su Miao and Huiwei stood side by side behind them, and Su Miao blinked her eyes twice: Eldest sister, you are the truth!
In the afternoon, when the employees took turns to eat lunch, they ate steamed buns today, so the clerk took two steamed buns and walked outside the side door, stood alone in the alley, leaned against the wall, took out the scroll from the back waist, and concentrated on reading while eating the buns.
After a while, the faint sound of footsteps came, and the paperwork, which was immersed in the book, was not aware until the man came up to him and carefully called:
"Brother Wen."
The clerk was stunned for a moment, looked over, and the person who greeted him was startled, the scroll in his hand fell to the ground, and the whole person rushed back half a step like a monkey, behind which was the wall, and his whole person was stuck on the wall, panicked, and stumbled and called:
"Lu, Miss Lu!"
Lu Hui was taken aback by his fierce reaction, stunned, his reaction seemed to her to be rejection, maybe he was angry because he was injured, biting his lip and hanging his head, she said apologetically:
"Brother Wen, I'm sorry, I'm not good for me to hurt you and make such a big fuss!"
The clerk finally came to his senses, and when he saw her like this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said with a wry smile:
"It's not your fault, it's my fault, it's all my fault, my mother made such a big fuss and made you embarrassed."
"No, it's not! It's me who is bad! When Lu Hui heard him say this, she knew that he was not angry, and her heart was relieved, and a sense of guilt came up, and she shook her head vigorously and said to him.
The clerk's gaze fell on her red, swollen and purple cheeks, and her round little face had obviously been slapped, and it had been swollen by an inch, looking more like a bun, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked:
"How ...... your face"
"Ah, because of the quarrel with my sister, my mother was very angry, and I was punished a little, so I don't care." She said with a bright smile, as if she really didn't care.
The clerk didn't know what to say, but pity and pity came up from the cracks in his heart, and he looked at her with pity. Lu Hui was embarrassed by him, covered her swollen face with her hands, lowered her head with a smile, and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Wen, are your injuries okay?"
"It's okay, it's just a little injury, it's okay, you don't have to take it to heart."
"Brother Wen, you are so manly!" When Lu Hui heard him say this, she couldn't help but praise sincerely.
The clerk was stunned for a moment, he had never been praised so much by a girl, Chun Niang and Su Xian always said that he was not like a man, being praised like this, the man's innate pride couldn't help but gush out from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time he felt a little weak-hearted, after all, he had just been injured by Lu Ci with a stick, and it was too embarrassing to be a manly man. His face flushed, his eyes twinkled, and he was embarrassed.
Lu Hui just said it out of love, she was born in the countryside, she didn't have the scheming of a city woman, she had always said anything, but as soon as the words came out, she saw that the document turned out to be this reaction, and the shyness surged, and she was even more embarrassed than him.
The two were awkwardly silent for a long time, Lu Hui wringed her hands, her eyes fell on the scroll in the clerical hand, and she asked with a smile without words:
"Brother Wen, what are you looking at?"
The clerk was stunned for a moment, looked down at the book in his hand, and replied with a smile: "The Mean." ”
"What's that?"
"It is a great book that teaches people to behave in the world."
Lu Hui leaned over curiously to take a look, so the clerk opened the scroll to her and exclaimed:
"That's a lot of words!"
The clerk felt that she was very innocent, and the look of the surprised smile was very innocent, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Wen, you are amazing, you can actually read so many words of books!"
"You don't know how to read?" The clerk was stunned and asked.
Lu Hui became embarrassed, scratched her head and said with a grin:
"The money my father sends back every year is only enough for the family, I haven't studied, and my mother said that it is useless for the girl's family to study, and it is right to do housework and needlework." In the end, she felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to be looked down upon, so she was eager to say her merits, "I do needlework very well, and even the tailors in the shop secretly praise me." ”
The clerk felt more and more pitiful for her, paused, and asked softly:
"Suddenly coming here from my hometown, you must not be comfortable, right?"
Lu Hui was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a bright smile:
"Fortunately, my father is very good to me, although my mother and sister don't like me, and I can't do it, I'm from outside. Before leaving, my mother kept telling me to get along with my sister Erniang and not to embarrass my father. I think as long as I stay longer, they will like me. She smiled confidently.
The clerk looked at her for a moment, and the words were forcing herself to cheer up, and everyone could hear it, and the atmosphere became a little stiff, as if her neck was sinking into the water, and she became suffocated. Seeing that after she finished encouraging herself, the clerk lowered his head and stopped making a sound, wanting to break the current silence, and glanced at the scroll in his hand, he suddenly smiled and asked:
"Do you want to learn to read?"
"Huh, is that okay?" Lu Hui was stunned for a moment, looking at him with bright eyes, like a jubilant little sparrow.
The clerk couldn't help but laugh and nodded. (To be continued......)
