18. What about the sparrow?
Outside the study, the night was misty.
Shen Yuli pinched his face, forced the upturned corners of his mouth back into place, and then couldn't help but jump up and reach out to pat the beam above his head.
It wasn't until he landed again and fell numb that he grinned again and rubbed his face vigorously.
The whole day was like a cloud-like mood, and at this time it was a little precipitated, and there was a little bit of realism.
Today's events went more smoothly than he could have imagined.
Mrs. Zhao is an old-fashioned old pedant with a very hard temper.
But it is precisely because of the hard temper that it is easier to deal with. Shen Yuli intentionally or unintentionally revealed to him his "bad deeds" of hiding outside the study for a long time and eavesdropping, and by the way, he showed the results of eavesdropping, and the old pedant immediately changed his attitude, and his enthusiasm was a little scary.
So the whole day was increased by half a night, and the little knowledge that Shen Yuli had accumulated under the window over the years was tested by the old gentleman. In the end, he was inevitably a little timid, but Mrs. Zhao was always in high spirits, and it was not until a thunderclap sounded outside that he closed the book and let out a long sigh.
"In this way, the Fourth Highness's homework has not fallen far behind." The old pedant twisted his beard and bowed his head slightly, "From tomorrow onwards, let's learn to read first." ”
Shen Yuli knew that this sentence was a great recognition of him, and he was so happy that he almost jumped up, but fortunately he couldn't help it. He settled down, lowered his head and pretended to be ignorant and humble, and respectfully sent Mrs. Zhao out.
It was raining a lot outside. Mrs. Zhao was supported by the child and walked very steadily, and Shen Yuli could only bow down as an old man, and only dared to show a little smug when he watched the people go away.
This was his first step.
From today on, he is no longer an unsightly rat in the corner of this palace castle. He wants to climb up step by step, go out, to find the bright road, to chase the glory.
Shen Yuli took a handful of water from under the eaves and splashed it on his face, slapped it twice, and then turned around and ran back to the study quickly.
His desk wasn't hard to pack. More than a dozen pieces of paper, a red sticker, two pens, three times and two times are neatly stacked.
In the end, it was the plate of snacks on the table that made him frown.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Zhao asked the princes to disperse their studies in advance, leaving him alone to test his knowledge. The teacher and student asked and answered, and before they knew it, four or five hours had passed, and no one remembered to eat.
When he saw this plate of dim sum, he suddenly felt a little hungry.
But what about winding around the forest?
Shen Yuli raised his head and looked around the study, thought for a while, took out a piece of paper and wrapped the snacks on the plate and put it in his arms.
Mrs. Zhao never worries about mundane things, so naturally she will not think of leaving an umbrella for him. That little boy Moxiang didn't know whether he forgot or deliberately didn't care about this matter, so Shen Yuli's situation at the moment was really a little bleak.
Fortunately, he was an orphan and never needed an umbrella.
Shen Yuli smiled self-deprecatingly, flicked his sleeves on both sides, rushed into the rain with his head in his hands, and ran back to the deserted garden with thunder all the way.
He was greeted by silence.
No one?!
Shen Yuli took out the paper bag wet with rain from his bosom and threw it on the straw, and even called a few times to "go around the forest" without getting a reply.
Only a pair of sparrows in the temple sheltered from the rain stopped on the window lattice, calling miserably.
Shen Yuli didn't bother to pay attention to these little things, but he hated that the squeaky cry was too ugly, so noisy that he couldn't sit steadily, lay down and lie restless, and the previous joy had long since disappeared.
That unreliable little eunuch will cause trouble!
Shen Yuli turned around in the hall a few times irritably, and suddenly couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly turned around and pounced on the two annoying sparrows.
The sparrow was frightened, and Hula sprang up at once, breaking through the window paper and rushing out of the temple.
Shen Yuli was suddenly a little annoyed.
You can't be angry. He lay down with a grunt, raised his hand to cover his face, and tried to sleep, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
Moisture rushed in with thunder, and there seemed to be the faint sound of sparrows. These annoying noises seemed to remind him all the time that there was a little thing as noisy as a sparrow missing from this room.
Shen Yuli thought it was a joke. Since his grandmother's death, he has lived alone in this deserted garden for more than half a year, and he has never known what loneliness is.
Tonight, however, the temple was so empty that he could not sleep.
Shen Yuli tossed and turned for a long time, and finally couldn't help jumping up and plunged into the rain.
