Chapter 14 Effort
The sky has been exposed, the four fields are empty, and the wind has stopped.
No sound could be heard around, and the whispering of the insects had stopped.
Siyu snuggled up to the white-clothed man's side and fell into a deep sleep.
She pressed the man's wound with one hand, and by this time, the wound had completely stopped bleeding.
When the first rays of sunlight shone on her face through the clouds, she woke up tired and glanced at the man in white, who was still asleep.
It's just that his breathing is much more even, and it's not so heavy anymore.
The birds on the branches chirped and chirped gently, and she quickly got up and washed her face.
Mother Chen saw that she was tired, so she persuaded: "You better take a day off, don't consume you!"
"Mother, no need!"
Mother Chen looked at her daughter with some distress, knowing that she had always been stubborn, so she no longer persuaded her, "That's good, but you don't fight so hard anymore!" ”
"Uh-huh!"
Siyu hurriedly tied up her long hair, changed her skirt again, and put on a Confucian shirt.
This scene, looking at Chen's mother's heart, couldn't help but be very sour.
Suddenly, Siyu seemed to think of something, and turned his head to look at his brother's house.
Chen's mother immediately understood that she was going to attack her younger brother again, so she hurriedly dissuaded, "Okay, okay, let him sleep more!" ”
Siyu's big eyes turned to thought, his younger brother was also tired all night, and sighed slightly, "Mother, he's awake, let him clean up the stall!" ”
Chen's mother looked gloomy, nodded, and stopped talking.
Siyu understood her mother's thoughts, and hurriedly sat down to comfort, "Mother, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, I believe that our Ji people have their own natural appearance!" ”
Mother Chen nodded slightly, but she still looked sad.
"That's 10,000 taels of silver, Siyu, you better marry someone earlier, marry far away, find a good family, don't come back......"
As soon as Siyu heard this, his heart was not angry, and his eyes were full of tears, "Didn't you say that it was okay not to mention this matter!" ”
Mother Chen's eyes were red, and she felt very sorry for Siyu, and persuaded again: "Siyu, how can I not think about it, how much ability can your daughter's family have, listen to my mother's ......advice."
At this time, Siyu was uncontrollably rolling down big, big crystal tears, and kept wiping the tears with his hands.
Her daughter was crying like pear blossoms and rain, and Chen's mother was distressed when she saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her daughter's hand.
But before she could hold it, Siyu had already shaken off her hand, grabbed the broken sack, and rushed out of the door.
"Siyu ......"
Chen's mother leaned on the doorrail, watching her daughter's figure in men's clothes disappear in the crowd, and she was very distressed.
In my impression, my daughter has always been well-behaved and stubborn, but she is very filial to herself, and this is the first time she slammed the door.
She wasn't like that!
She was tired from running around every day, and the profit of a month was enough to support a family and live a prosperous life.
However, this home is a bottomless pit.
Mother Chen leaned on the door frame in despair, shouting over and over again, Siyu, Siyu!
Reason told her that she should let her daughter marry far away, otherwise it would hurt her.
Emotions don't allow her, if she can't give it up, how can she give it up!
Siyu ran on the long street where people came and went, running desperately.
The crowd that saw her all dodged back and forth, "Where did you come from!" ”
"Siyu, are you going to the academy again?"
Aunt Li next door greeted her warmly, but she blew past people like the wind and ignored her.
Aunt Li was a little puzzled, what's wrong with Siyu today?
Li Caitou on the side of the street sat on the rocking chair as usual to dry his big belly and bright head, and when he saw a gust of wind blowing, he realized that it was Siyu.
"Siyu, are you going to the academy again?"
But as if she hadn't heard, she scraped past Li Caitou again.
Li Caitou is a little strange, what's wrong with Siyu today?
Grandma Wang was carrying a basket to sell peanuts in the middle of the street, and when she saw Siyu running from afar, she hurriedly took out a handful of peanuts, "Siyu, are you going to the academy again?" ”
But she saw Siyu with tears on her face, and her eyes were red and she ran over, ignoring herself.
Grandma Wang is a little confused, what's wrong with Siyu today?
Siyu cried as he ran, tears poured out like a floodgate, and the street scene gradually blurred.
When I thought of my mother, I must have leaned against the door and looked away after she left.
She didn't dare to look back at that scene, and she felt distressed when she thought about it.
She regretted a little, she shouldn't have slammed the door like that, how uncomfortable it would be for her mother!
The reason why she blew past her neighbors like the wind was because she didn't want others to see her cry.
The reason why she blew like the wind on the long street was because she wanted the oncoming wind to dry her tears.
After crossing the long street, going around the village, and coming to the river, she suddenly felt a little tired and wanted to stop and catch her breath.
The clear river water imprints his red eye circles, and when people look at it, they can guess that they have cried.
Damn it!
How can you let those stinky boys in the academy see themselves crying!
No, she wondered if she could let others guess that she had cried, so she hurriedly picked up a handful of cool water and sprinkled it on her face.
Suddenly refreshing, the slightest coolness made her a little sober, but the fatigue of not sleeping all night came to her heart.
She was a little sleepy and out of control.
No, she thought, she couldn't sleep yet.
In a month, you must pay off 10,000 taels of silver, and on average, you have to earn 300 taels of silver every day.
Three hundred taels!
OMG!
How is this possible?
That's it, maybe you'll get lucky today!
To drive away her sleepiness, she plunged her feet into the cold water.
The flowing water gently slid over her feet, and the cold that pierced her heart made her feel cold, and her sleepiness was more than half gone.
Suddenly, she remembered a poem and a small poem, "The turbidity of the waves can wet my feet." ”
Canglang, Shen Canglang!
That young owner of the Shen family's medicine shop!
Siyu is a little strange, would he think of him inexplicably?
She casually touched the inkstone, remembering that night she smashed the inkstone at the scoundrel, smashing the guy's head and bleeding.
She looked down at the inkstone and found that there was a slight crack on the edge of the inkstone, and she was so distressed that she couldn't help herself.
The scoundrel's head was also a little too hard, and it almost took pity for this square stone inkstone.
Then she remembered the mysterious man in white, whose name she still didn't know, could it be that this person was really the thief who stole the silver.
There was a mess in my head.
Seeing that the sun had risen to a pole high, there was a bridge on the river, and on the opposite side of the bridge was Fenglong Academy.
Siyu crossed the bridge and arrived at Fenglong Academy, and as soon as he entered Fenglong Academy, a group of Confucian students immediately surrounded him.
"Siyu, have you written my strategy? There are still scriptures! ”
"Siyu, have I finished writing my Five Classics?"
"Siyu, the Analects I asked for last time, has the manuscript of the Book of Filial Piety been written?"
"Siyu, do you have a university experience?"
……
A group of Confucian scholars gossiped, Siyu raised his hands, "It's all quiet, all there!" ”
Wow......
The crowd cheered.
They didn't expect that Siyu had finished copying them all, and they were extremely shocked.
But he knew that he could not make much money by copying these things, and that he would not make much money when these men had bought all these serious books.
More groups of Confucian scholars gathered around, and everyone with a mysterious smile on their faces quietly asked, "Siyu, did you bring it?"
Siyu understood that this was the real customer, and she smiled mysteriously, "Of course! ”
Naturally, this group of people includes that one. The Zheng Gongzi who often buys her books.
He smiled and leaned in front of her, his eyes already narrowed into a slit, staring at the inconspicuous broken sack.
"Did you have that book from the last time?"
"A tael of silver!" Siyu was straightforward.
"How many?"
"As much as you want."
That Zheng Shusheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his two fat hands rubbed each other, and a look of extreme excitement appeared on his face.
"Okay, I'll buy them all!" Zheng Shusheng patted his chest, looking extremely arrogant.
Siyu listened to this sentence, her heart was sweeter than eating honey, and asked with a smile, "Why are you so generous today?" ”
That Zheng Shusheng glanced at her: "I'm afraid that others will come and rob me!"
After saying this, he looked around worriedly, and sure enough, the fat scholar did not come.
Siyu also looked around, and among the scholars who surrounded him, there was no fat scholar from last time.
He really didn't come.
She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed on her face, thinking, what about the God of Wealth?
Looking at the Zheng Gongzi in front of her, her eyes rolled and she had a plan.
"I said Childe, I still have a book of five taels in one book, a total of ten volumes, can you buy it?"
But Zheng Gongzi's face was hesitant, and Siyu hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "If I buy it, can I buy it cheaper, acquaintance?" It's good to give forty taels. ”
It's a pity that when Zheng Shusheng heard this, his eyes lit up at first, and he picked up the five-tael-one-a-one book with both hands, and he was fascinated by it.
When I opened the cover, I saw that it read, "Grievances" in the boudoir.
Obviously, this book is more delicately illustrated than the last time, more expressive, and more interesting.
I can't put it down when I see him.
This book actually costs five taels of silver, his face is difficult, and his flesh hurts, "Oh, it's too expensive, can you still be cheaper?" How about thirty-five taels? I'll buy it all if it's thirty-five taels of silver! ”
Siyu looked around, it was true that the fat scholar did not come, if he was there, he would definitely not bargain with her.
If it was thirty-five taels of silver as before, oh my God, I don't know how many times higher than before, she would definitely faint with joy.
But now, when she thought of the amount of silver her brother owed, thirty-five taels of silver was indeed too little.
That Zheng Gongzi saw Si Yu's eyes looking into the crowd, and he knew that he must be looking for the fat scholar.
His face was a little unhappy, and he said directly to her: "Don't worry, he won't come."
Siyu was a little shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know who I'm looking for?"
Of course I know, aren't you just looking for that rich fat scholar?
"yes, where did he go. Didn't come today? ”
Obviously, Siyu still didn't give up.
That scholar Zheng looked proud, and said with some schadenfreude: "He is not free today, because his young master is here, and he will also study in our academy."
"Their young master? Was he just a servant? ”
Si Yu couldn't imagine how rich his master should be for such a rich servant.
That Zheng Shusheng gave him a deep look: "He is just a servant of the Shen family, this time, the second son of the Shen family came, and I don't know why?" If you have to go to this poor mountain and bad water, unknown academy to study, won't Changshan have more good discharges? ”
Siyu was a little stunned when she heard this, "What? Chang Shan, the second son of the Shen family, do you mean that Shen Canglang is coming! ”
