Chapter 107: Growing Pains
The Wang family invited to teach martial arts is a man in his thirties, who is invited by a rich and noble family, and his skills are naturally not low, and he has a good appearance, and acts humbly and politely.
After saluting the five people, someone brought the horse on the side, Shen Kang took a look, and knew that he was blind when he came here today, and he would not learn anything.
The horse... They are all small breeds, with docile personalities and servants to lead them.
How afraid these people are to get hurt, hey!
With a deep sigh, a few people who thought they were handsome and elegant on horseback continued to talk about the words in the hall.
Where is this practice of riding and archery, it is simply leisure and entertainment.
When the people of the palace came to pass the word and eat in a faint food, Shen Chang and Shen Kang said goodbye on the grounds that they needed to go back before the academy was locked, Jiang Liusu insisted on letting the two leave in their own carriage, and the Shen brothers thanked them, so they smeared oil on the soles of their feet and fled.
At this moment, in the wine house at the foot of the mountain where Luming Academy is located, Liu Shu is sitting surrounded by three students wearing green robes.
One person raised his hand and picked up a chopstick dish, put it into Liu Shu's bowl, and asked with a smile: "Brother Liu, are you a scholar bought by Shen Kang?" β
Liu Shu smiled lowly, lowered his head to eat the dishes in the bowl, and then turned his hand to get the wine glass, and the young student on the other side stepped forward to pour the wine.
The wine gently rolled into his throat, and Liu Shu secretly said that he was refreshed.
Eat again.
The person who picked up the vegetables frowned slightly, and had the urge to strangle this subordinate, but he was patient, raised his eyes to look at the person sitting opposite, made a look, and let him speak.
The man got the order and said with a smile: "Where did Little Brother Liu come from?" I don't think you're from Xia Nan Village. β
Liu Shu didn't hear it, didn't answer, just ate intently.
"Who did Shen Kang associate with in that village? I heard that Shen Kangke is a chivalrous man, he once angrily reprimanded the chief, and it was because of him that he stood up to let the people of a village get rid of the jurisdiction of that wicked man? β
"Shen Kang once wrote poems in public, but now that I think about it, I still feel that every sentence is a quatrain, I wonder if Brother Liu has any poems written by Shen Kang in private? Let me wait for an eye-opener. β
"There's a pranky guy named Wang Er... The villagers are employed by the Shen family? How much is monthly silver? β
Liu Shu drank another glass of wine, raised his hand and called, "Little Er!" Two roast chickens are wrapped, I want to take them!"
"You!"
One of his eyes widened and he was so angry that he straightened up and was about to reason with him.
The other person stopped, turned to smile lightly, and asked: "Little Brother Liu, we are all classmates of Shen Lang, and I also want to have a sincere relationship with Shen Kang when I invite you to dinner, you don't say a word, is this looking down on me?" β
Liu Shu smiled: "No, no, no, it's just that I'm hungry, so I don't care about replying." β
The man laughed again and asked in a harmonious voice, "Brother Liu, are you full now?" β
"Well, it's full, it's going to kill me."
"That's... Can you say more? β
Liu Shu grinned and said categorically: "No! β
The student on the side stood up and said, "Don't give face!" But a subordinate! β
Liu Shu stiffened his mouth, got up and said, "Everyone, the little one will retire." β
"Guest! Your roast chicken! The shopkeeper chased after him with a paper bag.
Liu Shu took it: "Thank you, store." He turned to the three of them and smiled: "Thank you, the little one will go." β
"You! Damn it! β
Liu Shu frowned: "Where did you start with this?" The little one came to eat at your will, but he was too hungry to say a few words. He looked at the oiled paper bag in his hand and said, "Could it be that a few people are dissatisfied with this roast chicken?" If so, don't take the small one. β
"!"
Liu Shu grinned: "Yes." β
After drinking a few glasses of wine, he inevitably dizzy, and he swayed and hummed a little tune and walked away.
"Brother Qiu! Why don't you stop him, how can you let this villain be so rampant, what is the praise of our brother Qiu! Lu Luo puffed out his chest and said: "I just said that Shen Kang, this kid is arrogant and has no one in his eyes, but I didn't expect the scholar next to him to dare to be so disrespectful, and Brother Qiu still wants to solve the misunderstanding." Where is this misunderstanding! It's clear that children don't take you seriously! β
Qiu Zhicun sank his breath and said with a calm face: "That's it, it's ridiculous to hope for that little scholar, I have my own opinions on this matter, I must let that little boy know what kind of place Luming Academy is, how can I let him be rampant!" β
On the other side, one person said timidly: "After all, he is a disciple of Mr. Haoran." β
Lu Luo snorted and said, "Now that the academy is in charge of the mountain chief, even Mr. Haoran must obey the dispatch. Brother Qiu is a protΓ©gΓ© of the mountain chief, and he personally came to invite the kid, but the kid didn't come to see Brother Qiu, if he didn't give him the color, how could he know the severity! β
When the man saw Lu Luo's tone, he didn't dare to argue, so he could only nod his head sneeringly.
Qiu Zhicun squinted his eyes and said, "After a few days, stay for a few days, and watch." β
Lu Luo arched his hand and smiled: "Good! β
On the way back, Shen Chang and Shen Kang didn't talk much, until they were sent back to the academy and entered the gate of Youju, and the two took a long breath.
Shen Chang said: "In the future, you have to interact with people like this? β
Shen Kang nodded and said with a wry smile: "Are you tired?" β
"Well, it's not that I'm tired, it's that I'm tired, it's more tiring than planting seedlings, and it's more laborious than picking a hoe, and I can't even speak well, chewing the words, for fear that others won't know how many days we've read." Shen Chang thought for a moment and said, "It's still interesting in the village." β
Shen Kang asked with a smile: "At the beginning, the second brother was thinking about leaving Xiannan Village all day long. β
Shen Chang sighed lightly, looked at the sunset that sank to the eaves in mid-air, remembered the path that the two brothers passed by when they went to school in Mozhai in the past, and remembered that they were fishing with their playmates in the mountains and forests.
Shen Kang raised his lips slightly, revealing his eight white and neat teeth, and said indifferently: "The pain of growing up lies in giving up. We have better learning opportunities, and we have to exchange freedom for this, and this is the price, and the second brother has great ambitions and will be able to adapt to everything at the moment. β
Shen Chang nodded, pondering his words but asked, "Little San, you don't like these either, do you?" β
"Hmm." Shen Kang nodded, and continued: "It's not that I don't like to associate with them, it's just that like the second brother, I can't adapt to their way yet." β
"I thought you were very good with them...", he smiled and said, "The junior is much better than the younger brother, I often can't speak, and I want to run away from the door." β
Shen Kang wanted to raise his hand and touch his hair to comfort him. But knowing that doing so would hurt his self-esteem, he just smiled and did not answer.
After a long silence, the sky darkened unconsciously, Liu Shu came back from outside the door with an oiled paper bag, and walked step by step as if he had drunk wine.
"Give! Jiro Saburo! He reached out and placed the oiled paper bag on the table.
