Hanging the sword in his hand on the wall next to him, Yu Shaobai noticed the bookshelf next to the desk, which was full of books, looking at the traces of the correction on it, Yu Shaobai seemed to see the scene of a teenager copying and borrowing books, and sewing the pages together, which made people a little embarrassed, it was really not easy for a scholar in the Ming Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, there was a sound of talking outside the house, Yu Shaobai walked out of the house, and saw the two little guys walking into the yard with firewood on their backs, their little faces flushed.

This is......

Yu Shaobai was stunned for a moment before remembering that these two people were the fourth sister Ah Lian, and the fifth brother Yu Jing, looking at the firewood behind the two little guys, he was a little puzzled.

"Third brother! How did you get back? Seeing Yu Shaobai standing outside the door, Ah Lian's eyes were a little dodgy, and she winked at the fifth brother.

The little guy understood what the fourth sister meant, put aside the firewood behind him, and said to the third brother with a smile: "Third brother, why did you come back without saying a word." ”

"Little Wu, what's the matter with the firewood on your back?"

Xiao Wu held the pile of firewood and said with a smile: "I went out with the third sister to play, and when I saw Uncle Wang chopping firewood, we thought it was funny, so we did it together." ”

"Well, that's right, don't think about it."

Hearing Ah Lian's words, Yu Shaobai couldn't think about it without thinking about it, but he didn't see that a twelve-year-old boy and a fourteen-year-old girl actually knew how to deceive people, but naturally they couldn't deceive Yu Shaobai.

"You two are messing around again, don't carry firewood home in the future!"

At this time, Yu's mother walked out of the firewood room and wanted to pick up the bundle of firewood, but her body trembled and almost fell, but fortunately she was supported by Ah Lian.

"Mother, are you okay?" Ah Lian asked worriedly.

"Mother is fine, but I'm a little tired."

Yu Shaobai saw that her face was already a little pale, so he came to his side, grabbed firewood and carried it in.

Yu Mu and Ah Lian glanced at each other, and she sighed.

……

Outside Yu's mother's room, Ah Lian and Xiao Si squatted on the steps of the door and muttered quietly, looking back at the door from time to time.

"Fourth sister, do you think the third brother already knows?"

"Look at it like this, you should know, if you want to blame it, it's to blame that we just alarmed the third brother, if we carry the firewood back to the firewood room first, he won't be able to see it......"

In Yu's mother's room.

"Qing'er, I can't hide it from you, my mother had a serious illness a few days ago, so my body bones are so weak, but you don't have to worry about my mother, my mother is almost fine now."

Looking at the pale face of Yu's mother, Yu Shaobai sighed: "Did you spend a lot of money on your illness this time?" Have you run out of savings? ”

Mother Yu hurriedly waved her hand when she heard this: "How can it be, you can study with confidence." ”

"Don't lie to me, if it weren't for the lack of money at home, you wouldn't have taken the white jade bracelet your father gave you."

Hearing Yu Shaobai's words, Yu's mother subconsciously looked at her wrist: "How do you know that your mother took the white jade bracelet?" ”

Seeing her surprised expression, Yu Shaobai knew that he had guessed correctly, in the memory of the little guy, Yu's mother had always carried a white jade bracelet and slept without leaving her, but now it was gone, and she remembered the time when the two children went out to carry firewood, Yu Shaobai guessed that his family may not be as rich as he thought, and he is not even well-off.

"If you don't tell me, you're afraid that I'll be distracted, but I can't let my mother and younger siblings bear this matter alone, I should know."

Yu's mother looked at her son's stubborn appearance, sighed, and said, "Mother is also afraid of affecting your studies, after all, after next year, if you get the exam, you will be right to be your father." ”

Seeing her sad look, she must have remembered her father, who had been dead for four years, Yu Shaobai comforted her: "Mother, don't worry, your son will definitely have a future in the future." Yu Shaobai is a little uninterested in his father's expectations, he will not be able to gain fame in the imperial examination, and this year will be the last autumn examination in the early Ming Dynasty, and then the old man Zhu will temporarily suspend the imperial examination, and he will wait until the imperial examination is reopened, I am afraid that his little fresh meat will also be boiled into bacon. However, getting ahead is not the only way out of the imperial examination.

"You're still young now, and my mother isn't urging you, she just hopes that you can study hard."

"Mother, how much savings do you have at home?"

Hearing Yu Shaobai's words, Yu's mother hesitated for a moment and said, "There are still five hundred texts." ”

500 ...... Yu Shaobai really doesn't have any idea about this number, but a thousand Wen is equal to one tael, so this half a tael of silver doesn't seem to be much.

Yu Shaobai didn't say more, let her have a good rest, she is not hungry now, and there is no need to rush to cook.

Walking out of the door and looking at the two little guys standing on the steps, Yu Shaobai touched their heads and said with a smile: "Why do you have such an expression." ”

"Second brother, we didn't mean to lie to you, don't be angry."

Looking at the two who bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, Yu Shaobai felt as if they were afraid of themselves, in the memory of the little guy, his third brother only knew how to read, and he didn't care much about the two younger siblings.

Yu Shaobai looked at the pitiful appearance of the two of them, and couldn't help laughing: "You didn't do anything wrong, so you don't have to admit your mistake, but the third brother is not as good as you." ”

Looking at the third brother who walked into the firewood room, the two glanced at each other, "Little Wu, have you noticed it, the third brother seems to have changed." ”

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen my third brother smile at me, do you think he suffered any grievances in the private school. So ......" Xiao Wu pointed to his head, but was finally hit by the fourth sister, "Fourth sister, don't I just guess?" Why are you still serious? ”

"Even if it's a blind guess, if my mother hears it, she will definitely be angry."

Seeing the fourth sister walk into the firewood room, Xiao Wu rubbed her head aggrievedly and followed in.

And behind the door, watching the two children leave, Yu's mother showed a worried look on her face, "Qing'er has indeed changed a lot when she comes back this time, is it true that Xiao Wu said it......"

Yu Shaobai, who was busy in the firewood room, if he knew that in the eyes of his mother and younger brother, he was already a person who should take medicine, I am afraid he would be quite depressed.

"Third brother, if my mother knew, she would spank you."

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Yu Shaobai didn't stop the movements in his hands, he just wanted to cook a meal, not to destroy world peace, as for spanking?

"Third brother, when did you learn to cook?" Ah Lian asked suspiciously.

"If you learn it in a private school cafeteria, don't interfere." Kick out the two little guys, Yu Shaobai really did it, for otaku, I can't cook I'm really sorry for the word "house", when Yu Shaobai has nothing to do, the biggest fun is to eat the food he cooks, watching Bei Ye's wilderness survival, that sour......... It's hard to make people fat.

However, there are no ingredients in this firewood room, after all, it is ancient, what is needed is simple food and clothing, Yu Shaobai only found a few cabbages, green vegetables and mushrooms picked by Ah Lian, so he fried two dishes and cooked a pot of porridge, but this meal was not easy to make, and he burst into tears when he smoked it.

"Little Wu, what are you laughing at!" Looking at the little guy who couldn't close his mouth with a smile, Yu Shaobai couldn't help but pat his head.

"Third brother, have you really cooked before? It's funny. ”

Seeing that the little guy was smiling, Yu Shaobai asked him to bring the dishes to his mother's room, and he walked to the water tank, looking at the embarrassed appearance in the water, Yu Shaobai couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

I really have no experience in the ground pot, although the dish is done, but my whole face is also blackened by smoke, I brought water to wash my face, looking at myself in the water, Yu Shaobai was slightly stunned.

Today is the third day of coming to Daming, but his appearance has never been seen, this is the first time, seeing this skin, Yu Shaobai understands why Shanzi called himself a little white face, this little guy died very unjustly, just this look, what kind of fame is tested, and when he grows up, it should not be a problem to go to a rich and noble family, in Yu Shaobai's opinion, such a woman's face grows on a man, it is really blind, but his mother is good, and he naturally inherited it to his son.

"Third brother, what are you doing standing there? Mother called you. ”

Hearing Ah Lian's shout, Yu Shaobai came back to his senses, answered and walked towards Yu's mother's room.

"Mother, what? Not to your liking? He asked softly.

"Mother heard Ah Lian say, this dish was fried by you, how can you cook?"

Looking at Yu's mother's blaming eyes, Yu Shaobai was a little puzzled: "It's just cooking, why should my mother be angry, be careful." ”

"You are a scholar, haven't you heard of the phrase gentleman is far away from cooking?"

Hearing this, Yu Shaobai said helplessly: "Children naturally know the sentence that the gentleman cooks far away, but you misunderstand the truth and think that Mencius's famous saying "The gentleman is far away from the kitchen" is that the gentleman and the dignified man who do great things should stay away from the kitchen, and the woman is the master of the kitchen. In fact, Mencius's original words were: "A gentleman is also a beast, and he can't bear to see his death when he sees his life; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who cooks far away. This is his evaluation that King Qi Xuan can't bear to kill a cow. Its intention is to praise the benevolence of King Qi Xuan, and Lao Tzu once said: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh." "Even the sages didn't belittle cooking, and there's nothing wrong with me cooking as a scholar, let alone insulting Sven."

Yu's mother saw that San Lang was talking about the Tao, and she didn't know how to reason, so she could only sigh and said: "Qing'er came back this time really impressed my mother, it seems that you didn't study in vain, since the sages have said it, how can my mother continue to talk about it, the reason is on your side." ”

Yu Shaobai smiled, he just talked about things, men and women should be equal, in this era, scholars are the real gnawing old people.

"Don't stare at the two of you, hurry up and eat, the dishes are almost cold."

Seeing that the mother spoke, the two little guys dared to move the chopsticks, Yu Shaobai looked at them and asked, "How about the vegetable question?" ”

"Third brother, what you make is better than what the fourth sister makes."

As soon as Xiao Wu finished saying this, he suddenly saw the fourth sister's angry appearance, and hurriedly dared to say: "Third brother, what you make is as delicious as what the fourth sister makes." ”
