One of the two and a half children is called Dafu and the other is called Xiaolong, and as soon as the two entered Aunt Fang's house, they found a sense of belonging, and they happily returned home like a wandering wanderer. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There are all kinds of people in the world, all of them are different, let's take Aunt Fang's newly adopted two sons and three daughters as an example, they don't want to go to the rich and noble to ask for shelter, they just want to recognize a mother, and they will try their best to honor this mother.

Dafu and Xiaolong are very diligent, and when they see that the earth has thawed, they get up early every day and reclaim the famine in the east of the village, trying to treat themselves as strong laborers, and use time to make up for their lack of ability.

However, in the season of green and yellow, the new arrivals are full of twice the original population, so it is inevitable that the family will be overstretched. Aunt Fang had no choice but to rummage through the bottom of the box, and even began to sell the dowry that she had treasured for many years.

On this day, Aunt Fang was rummaging through the cabinets again, and finally found two pairs of embroidery, held them tightly in her hands, and sighed incessantly.

Zhu Qiming was about to go out to Xun's house to borrow a book, and hurriedly glanced at Aunt Fang, and was immediately shocked by the embroidery in Aunt Fang's hand.

I couldn't wait to step forward and take the two embroideries from Aunt Fang's hands, and after looking at them carefully, I felt that they were so simple and so beautiful that it made people feel like they were there.

One of them is a picture of a snow scene, a glacier meanders down, and the snow trees in the distance hang down thousands of silver threads, and the background is a pale blue, like a mysterious fairy bathing without makeup. The other is the sunset picture of the autumn forest, the frost forest is reflected by the slanting sun, exuding a strong autumn mood, the artistic conception is poignant and slightly depressed, a few red leaves drift with the wind, as if there is a sound to hear.

Zhu Qiming is not proficient in embroidery, but he is well-informed, he searched hard in his mind about the memory of the Suzhou embroidery in the palace, and felt that the two embroideries in front of him were different from the Suzhou embroidery, as for the difference between the two, he did not know.

"Aunt Fang, is she from Suzhou?" Zhu Qiming returned the embroidery to Aunt Fang, feeling sorry for them in his heart.

Aunt Fang came back to her senses from her abruptness, "My hometown is in Changsha Mansion, Huguang, and it was also a mistake back then, and I married away from home. Alas, ten years have passed, and this is what I embroidered when I was not out of the cabinet, and I have been reluctant to sell it. ”

Hundreds of years later, after technological improvement, Hunan embroidery is well-known all over the world, and the limelight even once overshadowed Suzhou embroidery. However, at present, these two embroideries are just ordinary folk embroidery in the eyes of the world, and they cannot be sold at a good price. Zhu Qiming wanted to keep them, but it was inconvenient to say them.

"The hard work of many years ago can't be exchanged for a tael of silver, it's too worthless!" After speaking, Aunt Fang resolutely stuffed the embroidery into the bottom of the box and closed the lid.

"Aunt Fang, I'll go to Xun's house to borrow books, and I'll go back after borrowing them." Zhu Qiming breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered the business of borrowing books.

"Be careful on the road, go and come back quickly."

In response to Aunt Fang's advice, the shadow of the two embroideries appeared in his mind, and Zhu Qiming walked out of the house in a trance.

The earth is rejuvenated, the warm breeze is blowing, and all kinds of wildflowers are scattered among the shallow grasses, and the atmosphere is full of wild paths, and the fragrance invades people's clothes.

The country roads are extremely quiet, there are no temples here, and there are no rivers and lakes.

After a walk in the countryside, in front of Xun's house, Zhu Qiming was calm and relaxed, and he did not feel half uncomfortable with the unfamiliar environment.

"Is Master Xun at home?" Zhu Qiming bowed slightly to the servant woman at the door, and his posture surprised the servant woman.

"What are you looking for?"

"Borrow a book."

"This ・・・・・・" The servant woman was stunned as if she had encountered an unprecedented miracle, and she did not know what to do.

A nine-year-old girl slowly walked out of the inner room and hurriedly glanced at Zhu Qiming. This girl has a delicate face, well-dressed, and has the style of a little master, but there is no arrogance between her eyebrows to reject people thousands of miles away.

"Sister is here." The servant woman hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then folded her hands and lowered her eyes, and did not dare to look at anyone directly.

"Come in, what books do you want to borrow?" The girl seemed to be very stingy with a smile, and even though she conveyed enthusiasm, she still looked indifferent.

"Historical Records." Zhu Qiming stepped into the hall, his eyes swept over the girl's ears, cast on the hanging painting behind her, and said secretly: This "Wind and Rain Returning to the Boat" is a treasure that my father has been looking for for a long time without results!

The girl was a little surprised, "I thought you were going to borrow "Thousand Character Text" and "Thousand Family Poems", wait." He turned and walked towards the hall.

At this time, a loud sound of reading floated over, as if many children were reciting "Hundred Family Names" in unison, Zhu Qiming couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate for those children who fled: In the Xun family, there are both food and books to read, with this belonging, what more can the husband ask for!

was sighing, and suddenly saw the girl walking over with a brand new "Historical Records", the cover of the book was very exquisite, and there was a faint fragrance of books.

"Thank you." Zhu Qiming bowed his hand, and then took the "Historical Records" from the girl's hand.

The girl is a blessing. Zhu Qiming was in a trance when he saw this, and looked at the girl's appearance, it was clear that she came from Zhong Mingding's family, the family of poetry and books, but the Xun family was just a commoner's house!

He involuntarily glanced at the girl deeply, the scene in his eyes was a little blurry, and Lu Xiyu's smiling face suddenly appeared at this moment, so a faint sadness slowly crossed from the bottom of his heart.

"You are the first person to come to my house to borrow books. You don't have to leave a note, it's up to you to pay it back or not. The girl's tone was unpredictable, and I didn't know whether it was approval or questioning.

"Bother, farewell!" Zhu Qiming walked out of the gate of the Xun family quickly, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: The invisible place does not need to be exposed, it is so lucky!

"Wait, which village are you?"

The girl's inquiry drifted over, but the others were far away and did not have to answer.

The joy was still in his heart, but not far away, a gloomy inquiry suddenly sounded at this time: "Can the Xun family be in this village?" ”

"Go forward, a hundred steps away is the Xun family."

Instinct drove Zhu Qiming to hide behind a big tree, and when he looked secretly, he saw two men with martial arts bodies wearing Confucian shirts, which looked extremely incongruous, and the cold faces of the two were prohibitive.

He suddenly realized that now it was an unbearable luxury to go out and find books to read! It's still about the rivers and lakes, but I don't know if it also involves temples!

After the two entered the Xun house, he quickly flashed into the path, and under the cover of the grass and trees, he ran all the way towards Lujia Village.

stepped into the house, and the pounding heart gradually calmed down.

Suddenly, another inquiry sounded at the door of the next door: "Where is Lu Erniang?" ”

Zhu Qiming is very familiar with this voice, it is Yun Niang's voice!

Zhu Qiming wanted to hide in the backyard, but after a little hesitation, he went into the room, closed the door gently, and quietly waited for the arrival of the frightening moment.

"Is it Lu Erniang's house?" The chaotic footsteps stopped outside the gate, and Yun Niang's inquiry was quite kind.

After a while, Aunt Fang's voice came: "Who are you looking for?" ”

"I heard that you just took in two sons, come and have a look."

"Who are you? What's your business? Aunt Fang's tone rarely brought a cold, chaser flavor.

"Take a look."

In Aunt Fang's astonishment, the chaotic footsteps approached Zhu Qiming's room.

Zhu Qiming's fingers were shaking slightly.

"Mother."

"Mother."

The calls of Daifuku and Xiaolong came at the right time, and the footsteps in front of the door turned to the door.

"These are your two new sons, half the size is not easy to raise, it costs food!"

"Yun Niang, there is an unknown person who went to the Xun family."

"Let's go."

・・・・・・

Zhu Qiming fell on the bed, his vest was full of cold sweat.
