Reading at night.

This is the only treatment that Du Shiyi did not enjoy during his study in the Lu's Thatched Cottage in Songshan Hanging Peak. There are all kinds of beautiful men there, but there is no woman except for a cook who is so old that her teeth are loose. Although the atmosphere of the students is solemn, every time they take a break, there are many people who go to Dengfeng County to visit, and the students and disciples who come out of the Lu family's thatched cottage have always been the most popular people in the community. At this moment, looking at the soft silk with the cuffs slowly grinding the ink there, he unconsciously looked away from the scroll, and then sighed.

"Thirteen Niang, it's already late, why don't you go to bed early?"

"Brother is going to Chang'an, I'm just going to stay for a while. Why, my brother dislikes me for being clumsy, and I can't even grind ink? ”

Seeing Du Sanniang bowing her head and grinding the ink while talking, the ink was almost out of the pottery inkstone, Du Shiyi suddenly shook her head helplessly and said: "I said that I would take you back to Chang'an, but you yourself refused." ”

"I just don't want to go back and look at the ruins of my home." Du Sanniang suddenly put down the ink snail in her hand, and then turned her head sideways, her voice was a little choked, "When I see that ruined appearance, I will think of the fire, the hardships that my brother suffered because of his serious illness, and the scattered servants at home...... If Grandpa and Auntie know that we can't even keep our ancestral home, maybe people can't feel at ease under Jiuquan. Uncle Nine has refused to return to his hometown all these years, and he must be ......"

Without waiting for Du Sanniang to finish speaking, Du Shiyi said angrily: "Water and fire are ruthless, when you encounter this kind of thing, you just think you are unlucky, why are you so sad?" As for the ninth uncle, he was called an official of the Shaofu outside, and after returning to Fanchuan, he was faced with a series of wealthy families, with elders in the clan and families in the middle. How much money can he make as a county lieutenant, but he has to take his family to office, instead of letting people live in Fan Chuan for a long time, and he hasn't come back for many years, which shows what kind of choice he makes, why should you blame yourself? ”

didn't want Du Shiyi to speak sharply, Du Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and her heart was numb for a while. Her parents died early, she and her brother depended on each other, and she couldn't help but have a deep admiration for her uncle Du Fu, who rarely had a letter to send back for a year and a half, but now her brother's words ruthlessly pierced that layer of window paper. She lowered her head and wrung her fingers for a moment, until a familiar breath suddenly came from front of her, and then another hand pressed against her shoulder, and she raised her head.

"Before, you promised the fifth lady of the Cui family to stay in Luoyang, and I promised you, because at that time, you could learn some of the things you wanted to learn if you stayed, and the Cui family was still stable. But now that Mrs. Cui has passed away, Zhao Guogong is also sick in bed, and people are mourning, if you want to stay, it will be unkind. Besides, Brother will go back to take the exam in Jingzhao Mansion this year, if you don't have your encouragement, in case you can't lift your energy......"

"I'll go back, I'll follow my brother back!" Du Sanniang finally didn't hesitate anymore, and hurriedly interrupted Du Shiyi's words. Seeing her brother looking at herself with a smile, even though she knew that this was a radical method, she finally made up her mind and clenched her fists fiercely, and then raised her head and asked, "It's just that brother, I'm afraid the old mansion hasn't been repaired, where should we live when we go back to Chang'an?" Otherwise, many families in the land of Fanchuan have quiet courtyards, but it's really not good, talk to the third uncle and borrow it for a while......"

"Why borrow it somewhere else?"

With this chuckle outside the door, the bamboo shadow in the same room woke up like a dream and hurriedly went to open the door. When she found out that it was Cui Wuniang standing outside the door, she hurriedly bowed her head and saluted, and let her and a pair of maidservants behind her in. Facing Du Shiyi, who was frowning slightly, and Du Shisanniang, who was embarrassed, Cui Wuniang didn't seem to be aware of listening to the corner of the wall for a moment outside, and said with a slight smile: "Du Shijiu Lang plans to set off close to Rì, and Shi Shilang just told me about it." Grandpa mentioned before that the Cui family's house in Chang'an is not empty either, and your brothers and sisters are going to Chang'an, so it is better to live in it temporarily. ”

Hearing Cui Wuniang directly say that her brother and sister went to Chang'an, Du Sanniang immediately realized that she had listened to her, and her face became even more unnatural for a while. And Du Shiyi remembered that Cui Gezhi had also mentioned this matter in person, although he had already resigned humbly at that time, but he only saw that Cui Gezhi actually asked Cui Wuniang to come and talk about this matter, if he still refused to accept such kindness, it would be too much to say. Therefore, he thought about it for a while and nodded: "Zhao Guogong also told me about this before, which really scared me. I don't know if Cui Shangshu ......"

"The eldest uncle is also going to live in the east to mourn this time, and he has already agreed to this matter. Besides, Jingzhao Mansion will take the Jinshi Branch at the beginning of next year, and it will only be a year in total, presumably before he and Grandpa return to Beijing, Du Langjun has already spread good news! Cui Wuniang raised her hand slightly, and a maidservant girl behind her held a long brocade box. She didn't wait for Du Shiyi and Du Shisanniang to refuse before explaining, "It's not easy to live in Jingzhao Mansion, but Du Langjun is a person with a plan, if I give money and so on as Cheng Yi, then I will look down on you." The contents of this box, please Du Langjun will go to Chang'an and take a look again......"

Before she finished speaking, Du Shiyi only heard a knock outside the door, as if someone had slammed her head on the door. Without waiting for Zhuying to react, he jumped up with an arrow step, opened the door, and at this time, he saw a figure that couldn't stop, and directly rushed forward and fell into his arms. Good

He reacted very quickly, put it in one place, and immediately withdrew his hand when he stood firm. When he saw Cui Jiuniang in sackcloth, he glared at him hatefully, he didn't even close the door, and walked straight back to Du Sanniang's side.

One or two listen to the corner, this Cui family sisters are really tricky, and there is nothing to say to people, so Suo xìng will open the door!

"Jiu Niang!" Regarding the scene where Cui Jiuniang just fell in embarrassment, Cui Wuniang was angry and funny for a while, and when she was about to reprimand her, she remembered that she had also stood in front of the door for a while before she came in, and after listening to the corner, she had to cough dryly and said, "Since you are here, what are you doing sneakily?" ”

"How can I be sneaky!" Feeling that her sideburns were messed up, Cui Jiuniang was angry, Suo Xìng put down all her hair, and loosely curled a hair in front of everyone, then stared at the brocade box and said, "Sister, as long as I tell me what is in this brocade box given to Du Jiulang, I will turn around and leave immediately!" ”

"Really, how long are you going to mess around!"

Seeing Cui Wuniang's phoenix eyes frosty, Du Shiyi stopped Du Shisanniang, who was about to come forward to persuade her, put her index finger on her lips again, and made a silent gesture. Cui Jiuniang's words and deeds these days always make him feel a little weird, if he can figure it out at this moment, it would be the best. Therefore, he did not mind that the two sisters would have a quarrel in their own house. Sure enough, under Cui Wuniang's fierce questioning, Cui Jiuniang's face finally broke out after being red and white for a while.

"Am I messing around?" Cui Jiuniang stomped her foot fiercely, and rushed to the maid holding the long brocade box quickly, and snatched the thing directly, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, she opened the lid. Seeing that it was a book, she was slightly stunned and took it in her hand, and untied the silk belt by dividing it by two. But before she could unfold it, a hand gripped her wrist tightly. Raising her head, she faced Cui Wuniang's fierce eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "Why, my sister gave Du Langjun something good, can't I take a look at it as a sister?" ”

"Really, what do you want to do?"

"I just want to know, sister, since you returned home, you have refused to mention marriage, but now you are always with Du Jiulang, do you really like him?"

Although Cui Jiuniang had questioned this matter in front of her before, however, hearing Cui Jiuniang reprimand it again at this moment, Du Shiyi couldn't help but squint her eyes. And Du Sanniang is not to mention, during her sojourn in Cui's house, Cui Wuniang taught her a lot of things, and for her, who has never been a sister, she is like a sister-in-law. However, when she thought that her sister might become a sister-in-law, she didn't know what kind of mood she should feel at this moment. However, what was more shocking than the two brothers and sisters was Cui Wuniang. She stared at Cui Jiuniang with an angry face, and when she arrived at Zuihou, she suddenly snatched the scroll from her hand and unfolded it without saying a word.

When the book was fully unfolded, whether it was Cui Jiuniang or Du Shiyi, Du Shisanniang's brothers and sisters, they all saw the dense fly-headed small letters on the top, and Du Shiyi, who had great eyesight, even faintly recognized a few of them, which was actually a Buddhist scripture. It was only at this time that Cui Wuniang said lightly: "This is the four volumes of the "Ranga Sutra" written by Master Shenxiu himself, which is a treasure that my grandmother has always treasured to this day. Letting Du Langjun take him to Chang'an is just what my grandmother meant in the past, and it is a temporary loan, do you understand? ”

Who is Shenxiu? At that time, Empress Wu personally welcomed Luoyang, known as the master of the two capitals and the division of the three empires!

Cui Jiuniang's face changed, she opened her mouth to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't say a word. After a stalemate for a while, she suddenly rushed out without looking back. At this time, Cui Wuniang sighed deeply, turned around and saw Du Shiyi showing a thoughtful expression, so she said calmly: "I have told my grandmother and grandmother since I returned that I will die in the Cui family in this life. ”

"The five ladies are serious, but this scripture is too valuable, in case there is a mistake along the way, I am afraid that there will be a hard work of Master Shenxiu back then, please take it back."

Since he knew that it was a worthless treasure for ordinary people, but for some people, he was priceless, Du Shiyi immediately refused to refuse. Seeing that Cui Wuniang just hesitated for a moment and then smiled bitterly, and after a short time to leave, he instructed Zhuying to cover the door, and when he turned around and saw Du Sanniang still stunned, he smiled and said, "What, are you still thinking about Jiu Niangzi's words?" The five ladies all said it, it was her guess! ”

"Brother...... Du Sanniang hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said expectantly, "Brother...... No wind and no waves, it's not the fifth lady, will it be the ninth lady...... In the past, when I lived in Cui's house, Mrs. Tai always invited me to talk with me, and she seemed to like my brother very much. If Brother Ah can really reach the top in one fell swoop, isn't it normal for the Cui family to want Brother Ah to be a fast son-in-law of Chenglong? ”

This is what he joked about Cui Jiuniang, could it be that the Cui family really had that plan?

Thinking of Cui Gezhi's other eyes and Cui Wuniang's frequent overtures, Du Shiyi couldn't help but suddenly realize, and secretly sighed that she was really dizzy. Even Du Sanniang can see it, probably only herself and Cui Jian Xuanmu know Mu Jue...... By the way, I have to add Cui Jiuniang, the little girl who seems to be wise, but in fact lacks roots in this regard! No, for the rest of his life, he has to leave quickly!
