gossip

"Gongzi Xie, I thought you wouldn't be here today?" Shen Qi looked at Xie Yanqing, who was wearing a blue student shirt and sitting lazily at the stone table by the grapevine, holding a book and reading it carefully, and couldn't help but say out loud.

"Didn't you promise you to teach you literacy every day? A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, although I am not a gentleman, but I can still keep my promise. Xie Yanqing looked at the restrained Shen Qi and couldn't help but quip.

After so many days of teaching, he found that Shen Qi, the child, was not only hard-working, but also really talented. Although Shen Qi does not have such a talent as him, he is much more perceptive than him, and his understanding and interpretation of some sentences are often eye-catching.

Unfortunately, although the Xia Dynasty was an enlightened dynasty, it also stipulated that the four categories of "prostitutes, excellent people, subordinates, and soaps" and their descendants could not participate in the imperial examination. And if Shen Qi can work in the kitchen of the county school, he must have signed a deed of sale, so no matter how well Shen Qi reads, he can't enter the imperial examination.

"Today, I heard that Childe had a dispute with someone else, I thought Childe was angry, and I'm afraid I'm not in the mood to teach me to read today!" Shen Qi said honestly.

"What you said is interesting, you don't know what happened, how do you know that it's me and not that Yu Gongzi who is angry?"

"I ,......" Shen Qi was suddenly stunned, isn't this obvious? Where can a gentle person like Gongzi Xie fight that ruthless villain?

"As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and today's events are just a lesson for you, so don't draw conclusions about events based on other people's one-sided words or your own conjectures in the future. Okay, it's not too early, let's start learning. Xie Yanqing glanced at Shen Qi and taught seriously. Alas, it's really an addiction to being a master!

But today, God doesn't know why, but he loves to go against Xie Yanqing, no, before he has taught a few words, the raindrops that are bigger than beans are crackling down. And today's rain is so heavy that even if you sit in the middle of the pavilion, you can still be splashed by the rain.

Seeing this, Xie Yanqing and Shen Qi hurriedly cleaned up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, and put down the straw mat hanging on the pavilion. In ancient times, the level of medical care was low, and any cold could become a serious illness, and the spring rain in April still carried a little chill, so Xie Yanqing did not dare to relax at all. Although he has paid attention to exercise since he was seriously ill in the hospital, he is fundamentally a weak scholar with no power and a weak body.

Looking at the ink-colored sky, Xie Yanqing knew that this rain was going to fall for a long time, so he was bored and began to have a family relationship with Shen Qi.

"Do you have any other siblings in your family? Why did you come out and do things at such a young age? ”

"I also have a younger sister who has just completed the moon at home." Speaking of this, Shen Qi couldn't help but clench his fingers, the vicious woman of the Wang family should not be able to give birth to a male baby.

"Then you are the only male baby in your family, and your father is really willing." Xie Yanqing couldn't help but sigh with emotion, you must know that patriarchy was very serious in ancient times, and the only male baby in the family was willing to let him come out to serve people at a young age, which is really ......

After listening to Xie Yanqing's words, the distress in Shen Qi's heart was even worse, boy, if she was really a boy.

"The stepmother is vicious, and life at home is even more difficult." Looking at those clear eyes, Shen Qi accidentally said the words in his heart. Damn, why is she so careless, she says this about her "mother", will Gongzi Xie think she is unfilial like ordinary people?

Looking at Shen Qi with his head down, Xie Yanqing sighed, I see, as the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, Shen Qi, this child, is a hard worker!

"Although our dynasty advocates filial piety first, there is a saying in the "Book of Shang" that 'mother is kind and filial piety', and only when the mother is kind can the son be filial, and the mother is not kind, why should the son be filial. "Xunzi" has a saying, a gentleman is good at fake things, although you are weak, you can rely on the strength of others, and everyone has weaknesses. If you have no one to rely on, you need to know how to protect yourself. After all, Xie Yanqing couldn't help but mention Shen Qi, he has always believed in repaying virtue with virtue, repaying grievances with grievances, and there is a cause before there is an effect.

Listening to Xie Yanqing's words, Shen Qi's eyes were full of shock, Xie Gongzi was really different, and it was so good to be understood. "Thank you Gongzi for teaching, Shen Qi will not dare to forget the kindness of Gongzi." Shen Qi couldn't hold back his joy and respectfully saluted Xie Yanqing.

"I'm just gossiping to you, you don't have to be like this, people can only be bullied by others when they are strong." After speaking, Xie Yanqing looked out of the pavilion, staring at the scene of the rain hitting the plantain without blinking, and fell into his own thoughts.
