When he came out of Zhao Ji's house, Shen Fu was already two or three minutes drunk, and he returned to the room slowly, and heard Yan Luochang's little cousin cheering, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, so he casually took the Shaoxing wine that had not yet opened the altar, and poured it down one by one.

Pingshun took lunch, and saw Shen Fu lying on the couch again, still holding a book in his hand, and suddenly felt at ease, so he tiptoed over to take down the book, and adjusted Shen Fu's sleeping position very intimately, and then tiptoed out.

Willow tops on the moon.

Shen Fu woke up dimly and saw that it was already dark outside the window, so he rubbed his swollen head and summoned Pingshun to come in and serve.

Pingshun ran in in a hurry, and saw that Shen Fu was planning to dress, so he said: "In the past few days, my grandfather has always been drunk, and when I see the little one, I feel very uncomfortable!" The little one knows that his grandfather is homesick, so why not take a leave of absence from Mr. Zhao and go home? ”

Shen Fu glanced at him and sighed, "What do you know?" ”

Pingshun flattened his mouth and said: "The little one doesn't understand others, but the little one understands the mind of the grandfather, the country is difficult to leave, the grandfather is a family lover, this time it has indeed been out for a long time, and he has missed his family for a long time, but it is just that the master is hindered, and the master does not dare to specialize!" ”

"You're a roundworm in my belly!"

Shen Fu smiled faintly and hurriedly changed a set of Jiang. After the green rain, the sky was clear, and he stood up for his robe, and then slowly walked out of the house.

Pingshun was worried, and hurriedly chased after him and asked, "It's getting dark, where is the grandfather going again?" ”

"I haven't seen Mr. Zhao for a few days, so I should go!" Shen Fu said with his head sideways, and then strode away.

Ping Shun looked at his back and said with a smile: "Just now, the dead duck had a hard mouth, and in a blink of an eye, I rushed to find Mr. Zhao!" What do you want Mr. Zhao to do? It's not to ask Mr. Zhao to be merciful and let his grandfather go home early to save him from being depressed! ”

In this wall, Shen Fu slowly walked to Zhao Xingzhai's dormitory, and when he saw that the candles in the room were still bright, he mustered up his courage, went up and knocked on the door a few times, and then respectfully retreated a few steps back, and arched his hand: "Sir, Hou Xuete came to visit, I don't know if Mr. can rest?" ”

"Who is it?"

There was a sparse sound of pulling in the room.

Shen Fu heard the movement, his heart was a little relieved, and he hurriedly stood with a respectful attitude, and then faced the door with a solemn face.

The door opens.

Zhao Xingzhai was wearing a single robe, and when he saw Shen Fu standing at the door, he hurriedly called him to come in and sit, and specially brought a cup of West Lake Longjing.

Shen Fu took it with a smile, tasted a few bites, and took a few deep breaths behind his back before he had the courage to ask: "Dare to ask sir, how long is this school year?" ”

Zhao Xingzhai glanced at Shen Fu and said with a smile: "It's almost over!" Then he asked again: "What's the matter, the virtuous nephew is homesick?" ”

Shen Fu saw that Zhao Xingzhai had broken it, so he said: "I have been studying for a long time, and I am diligent and hard every day, but I have never been far away before, and I have been away from home for more than two months this time, and I am very worried in my heart, and I hope that Mr. will take pity and tell the students the specific return date!" ”

"I was negligent and forgot that this was your first long trip!" Zhao Xingzhai smiled, and the smile lines on his yellow old face suddenly relaxed, and he didn't realize that he was a few years younger, "Right now."

It's almost mid-May, and there isn't much homework in the school, so if you're in a hurry to get home, I can give you a few articles for you to go home and do slowly! ”

When Shen Fu heard this, his heart was comfortable, and he hurriedly said: "It's so good, it's just that my father is ......."

"Don't worry, Ling Zun and I passed a letter the day before yesterday, and he said in the letter, let me take care of you more!" Zhao Xingzhai's tone was soothing, and he didn't hurry to stare at Shen Fu, who was full of eagerness, "Since the virtuous nephew wants to go home now, then I can open the door of convenience and be accommodating, it's not impossible!" It's just that the virtuous nephew needs to be cautious, don't leak the news in advance and provoke the criticism of the students! ”

Shen Fu was overjoyed, agreed repeatedly, and chatted with Zhao Xingzhai about some ancient literature and poetry, and then left Zhao Xingzhai's room happily.

When he returned to the courtyard, Ping Shun saw that he was light and healthy, and he was overjoyed, knowing that he had an unexpected joy, so he hurriedly went up and asked.

Shen Fu told him, and explained: "Although Mr. Zhao agreed to let me leave, I can't show it too obviously, everything is too eye-catching, I am afraid that something will happen!" According to Mr. Zhao's plan, let's tell the public that there is something at home and I need to rush back immediately! ”

Ping Shun nodded and asked again, "When does the master plan to go back?" ”

"Tomorrow afternoon!" Shen Fu said slowly, and said: "Don't be idle tomorrow morning, pack your luggage early, and save yourself panic when you leave!" ”

Smooth and only called.

Shen Fu didn't have anything else to explain, so he let him go out to rest first, and then held the book to pass Shaoguang, until the third watch in the middle of the night, when he was a little tired, he fell asleep.

The next day, the weather was sunny and warm.

Shen Fu woke up, and after having breakfast in a hurry, he changed into homely clothes and put them on. The summer was long, and Shen Fu was tired and bored, so he went to Zhao Ji's house to talk.

It's the middle of the day. Zhao Jizhi learned that Shen Fu was about to leave, and he was reluctant to let him go, so he tried every means to entertain him.

Shen Fu couldn't bear to be sad for his best friend, so he agreed to stay for dinner, and on the other hand, he sent Zhao Jizhi's scholar to run errands and ask him to inform Pingshun to check his bags.

After lunch, the two were reluctant to say goodbye and agreed to meet each other.

After leaving Wutong Courtyard, Shen Fu rushed to meet in Pingshun, and then hired a carriage near Fuxue and hurried to Zhao Xingzhai's residence to say goodbye. Zhao Xingzhai thought about his friendship with Shen Jiafu, and inevitably said some decent words again, and sent some cloth and silk to Shen Fu.

Shen Futong took it, said a few decent words, and then hurriedly said goodbye to Zhao Xingzhai and led Pingshun to drive to the ferry.

It's already summer, the fire umbrella is high, and the fierce sunlight hits people's faces and bodies, which makes people want to dodge.

Shen Fu returned home eagerly, looking at the people coming and going at the ferry, as happy as a sergeant who had received a pardon order. Seeing that he was only happy, Pingshun secretly went to rent a small boat.

After a while, when the time to release the boat came, Pingshun led him into the boat again. The cable was untied, and the boatman propped up the bamboo pole and swayed the boat to the middle of the river.

Shen Fu sat in the cabin of the boat, seeing the green hills on both sides of the river, the lush green forests, the green grass, and the wild flowers, and his heart was very comfortable.

I don't know how long it took, but I saw too

The sun is turning to the west, and the colorful sunset light is sprinkled on the surface of the lake. Surrounded by green hills on the lakeside, the canopy of towering ancient trees is like clouds, and there are thick vines coiled, and some mischievous apes hang upside down and scream.

Shen Fu's heart was like an arrow, and he only urged the boatman who was youzai, and said, "Boatman, we are in a hurry to go back, you should row faster!" ”

The boatman shook his head and said, "Childe is too unreasonable, haven't you heard such a sentence?" The rowing is steady, and the boat is at ease! Now Childe is urging me to hurry, in case I don't control the direction of the boat, and the boat floats upstream, what if it's good? ”

"The boatman really likes to joke, how many years have you been on this river, you are a fierce man, maybe you can swim to the bottom of the river, where will you lose the direction of the boat?" Shen Fu grinned, "It must be because the boatman dislikes us that the boat fare is not much, and he is unwilling to hurry!" ”

The boatman smiled silently.

Shen Fu saw that his hand was fast, so he quickly made a gesture to Pingshun, and Pingshun understood, and hurriedly went out and gave the boatman a few copper coins.

When the boatman saw that the money was open, he smiled, and the embarrassment on his face suddenly relaxed, and when he heard his whistle, the whole boat rushed downstream.

At night, Shen Fu paid the fare in a panic, rented a fast horse, and galloped to Suzhou to weave Shuwen's mansion.

After a few streets, I saw a jade archway head-on, and the archway was protected by a dragon cocktail, and it was exquisitely chiseled. Shen Fu Pegasus passed through, ran straight to the south, and ran a shot away, only then did he see a majestic mansion in sight, so he hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse, flew off the horse, and then bought the gatekeeper and let him go in to inform his father.

Suddenly, the man hurriedly ran out and greeted Shen Fu into the door with a good voice. Before crossing the threshold, the door stopped, and another small servant came up, leading Shen Fu to the mansion with a servile face. When Shen Fu first arrived, he didn't dare to make a noise, so he had to follow him.

After the side hall, only to see the rockery vertical and horizontal, a canopy of vine purple with blue, bright like clouds, completely hidden in the rockery. Shen Fu paced in, walked slowly to watch, only to see the white stone craggy, or like a ghost, or like a fox, the wall arched, and the stone was spotted with moss.

Out of the rockery, facing an arch bridge, under the arch bridge flows a blue rippling stream, the brook side of the jasper sparkling, the stone gap divides the steady stream to the east, emitting a gurgling sound. Shen Fu deliberately leaned on the bridge railing to take a look, and saw patches of duckweed floating on the water.

When you go down the bridge steps, you will see a small courtyard.

The little guy raised his arm and pointed ahead: "Young Master Shen, this is where Master Shen lives, the road has been brought, I still have other things to do at hand, you can go in by yourself!" ”

Shen Fu nodded in greeting, and watched the little guy walk away before turning his head and entering the courtyard.

The courtyard is quiet, the creeper is pasted on the wall, it looks green, and a piece of Nantang Yueji is planted under the wall, and the flowers are in full bloom at this moment.

Shen Fu smiled, climbed the steps of the main hall along the stone path, and then slowly pushed the door in.

In the room, the lights were still on, and Shen Jiafu was sitting at the table, writing hard while standing on the same side

Rui Dao: "In a few days it will be the Dragon Boat Festival, according to the practice of previous years, every Chinese New Year's Eve, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Lord Shu has to give a gift to the governor of Suzhou and the prefect of Suzhou, this year, I received this errand, so as not to bother and labor, give, this is the gift list I just prepared, you see, is there anything inappropriate?" If there is, you can just add or subtract! ”

Jing Rui quickly took it, and saw Shen Fu walking in silently, and said with a smile: "How did Childe find Shufu?" ”

Shen Fuzheng wanted to answer, but listened to Shen Jiafu say lukewarmly: "There is a road under the nose, what is so difficult to guess?" ”

Jing Rui smiled bitterly and was speechless, glanced at Shen Fu sympathetically, and then slowly got up to say goodbye.

Shen Fu bowed his waist and bowed, and when he was far away, he hurriedly went up to greet Shen Jiafu. Shen Jiafu didn't look at him properly, just lowered his head and said: "You, you still lack qualitativeness, you have only gone to Jiangning Mansion to study for a few months, and you have to go home in a hurry, as if there is a ghost hanging you at home, I think, this time I am a blind man lighting the lamp again - in vain." Pity me for my hard work, I asked the relationship to send you to study, you are good, or you are so unmotivated, blindly greedy for pleasure! ”

Shen Fu was silent.

Shen Jiafu looked upset, and said: "Life is a lifetime, the grass and trees are autumn, and there are only two years and one month before the next township test, and I don't ask you to come out on top, I just hope you remember this sentence, the Buddha burns a furnace of incense, and people fight for a breath." ”

Shen Fu nodded again and again.

Shen Jiafu didn't have anything important to say, but just told Shen Fu to go down and rest, and then ordered the little guy to take it home overnight, and asked Shen Fu to take it back the next day.
