Xianggong, you are the most discerning man in the world, and you will not accept refutation. Bai Jinli pretended to be serious.

"......" Lin Shenyuan.

"Why don't you speak? Do you think I'm praising too vividly, and I'm impressed by my talent for a while? Hahaha! ”

"Lady, I think you are also the most cheeky lady in the world, and I don't accept refutation."

"Lin Shenyuan! What do you mean by that? You actually say I'm thick-skinned! ”

Bai Jinli snorted coldly, stretched out her hand and pinched Lin Shenyuan's arm.

"Shhhh Lin Shenyuan gasped.

"Huh? Really? Am I pushing too hard? Where does it hurt? Or I'll rub it for you? ”

"My whole body is not feeling well, and when I go back to the house after eating, you can slowly help me rub it."

"Lin Shenyuan, are you itchy !!?"

"Don't be angry. On the way to buy groceries, I told my second brother about white jasmine. ”

"What did my second brother say?" When Bai Jinli heard this, she also put away her playfulness.

"He said he knew, it's all creation."

"Say! Do you think my second brother will be very sad at this time, secretly crying in his heart alone? ”

"I don't know."

"How is Bai Xiaoming doing? He...... Has it changed? Bai Jinli continued to ask.

"I've been helping the imperial court work and mining, and I've sent someone to try to contact him, and he's really different from before."

"Huh? What's the difference? ”

“……”

Shen Qinghan came home the day before the snow.

Because it has been cold recently, he is worried that his mother will freeze at home alone, so he rented a house near the academy and planned to take his mother to live.

Spring is coming soon, and this exam is particularly important to him.

Especially when he heard the news that Bai Jinli's eldest brother and Xianggong were both sealed officials and were going to live in the capital next year.

He even secretly set a goal for himself, he must perform in the spring festival and work hard to be admitted to the Jinshi.

Only when he is admitted to the Jinshi can he be qualified for the next court examination.

Only then can I have the capital to live in the capital in the future.

Of course, he wants to enter Beijing because he is looking forward to it as a student, that's all!

The road to the imperial examination is long and arduous, and the waves are sweeping the sand, but he will not give up, he will always work hard!

After discussing with his mother the day before, his mother agreed, but she was a little reluctant to go home, so she cleaned up her things and inked at home for a day.

Originally, he was going to leave today, but the snow began to fall the night before, and the snow outside was too big, so he could only wait for the snow to stop before leaving.

As soon as he opened the door and looked outside, he saw the scene where Bai Jinli and Lin Shenyuan got along.

She smiled, and he nodded gently.

They laugh and talk, behave intimately, and seem very affectionate.

But for some reason, he felt a little sour in the depths of his heart.

That kind of important thing has been lost for a long time, and some of the emotions that were finally forced to forget by him floated up disobediently.

He involuntarily put his hand on his waist, and in the pocket of his waist was the tightly wrapped piece of paper that he treasured.

Well, he didn't think too much about it, he was just blessing.

Yes, bless Bai Jinli only.

He wants to keep himself in mind at all times that between him and Bai Jinli, he is not even a friend.

The only thing he had, was that he owed her some help.

In the future, if Bai Jinli needs help, he will definitely be desperate to help her.

After the help, there will be no more contact between them.

"Qinghan, what are you doing standing at the door? Frozen to death, come back quickly. His mother's concerned voice sounded in the room.

"yes, okay." Shen Qinghan nodded, went home and closed the door.

As for the original intention of opening the door, he couldn't remember it anymore.

————

As soon as I got home, I heard Mrs. Li's voice coming into my ears.

"Pear, Shen Yuan, are you back? Come on in! ”

"Wow, the hot pot is ready, that's great." Bai Jinli looked at the things on the table in front of the sofa in the living room, and instantly drooled.

I'm so hungry when I come back after this trip.

The bottom of the hot pot was specially boiled by her last time, and there are many more at home.

It's just that Lin Shenyuan bought a lot of meat today, if you want to make shabu slices, it's better not to add the base for the time being.

"Are you hungry? Come over and eat, just wait for the two of you. ”

"Okay, let's go wash our hands first, and come over right away." Bai Jinli watched Lin Shenyuan put down the medicine box, took off his cloak again, changed his shoes, and went to the bathroom to wash his hands together.

When they sat around and started eating, Mrs. Li inevitably asked what the situation was with Ma's.

At the same time, she also picked up a fried dough stick that had just been washed from the pot and put it in Bai Baiqi's bowl.

Bai Bai looked up at Mrs. Li incredulously: "!! ”

Is it raining or something? The mother-in-law who prefers the little sister on weekdays actually gave him a bowl to eat?

It always felt like he was dreaming, so he pinched himself during the day.

It doesn't hurt, well, it looks like it's really a dream.

At this moment, Bai Bai Yi next to him couldn't help but hiss, looking at Bai Bai Qi and asking him.

"Second brother, you ...... What are you pinching me for? ”

"......" Bai Jinli and the others stopped eating and looked up at them.

"Oh, it's okay, hehe, my hand is just scooping, I'm sorry, big brother." Bai Tianqi hurriedly apologized.

It seems that it turned out to be true!

"Tianqi, aren't you stupid in the brain? Why don't you hurry up and eat, what are you waiting for? What's the matter, or I'll ask your dad to feed you? ”

"No need, no need, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." After Bai Tianqi finished speaking, he hurriedly picked up the bowl and ate it.

During the meal, Bai Jinli told Mrs. Li about the situation of the Ma family, and also told them a lot of precautions by the way.

After eating, Zhang's Bai Meng and the others went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Bai Jinli and Mrs. Li sat in the living room and chatted with melon seeds.

"Dad, mother, I think it's better to hire two people to come over to clean and cook in the future, and always let my sister-in-law and Bai Meng cook and wash dishes, it's not good."

"What's wrong?"

"Aren't they making clothes, gloves, and those? Washing dishes and cooking will hurt your hands, and if your hands are injured, won't the clothes you make have some beauty. ”

"Pear, is this what your sister-in-law said, or did you say it?"

"Of course it's me! How could my sister-in-law tell me this? The main reason is that it has been cold recently, and it is too laborious to clean the house, as well as washing clothes and cooking, which is not interesting.

We are now a landlord's family, and there are few people to help with the work, so we can't say it, right? I want it anyway! ”

"That's fine! Pear, I have a candidate. Mrs. Li nodded, and she didn't dwell too much.

"Huh? Who is it? ”

"It's my old sister's little daughter-in-law, who works very neatly. I see that their family is a little poor, anyway, if they want to find someone, they can simply find her family, and they can also subsidize her family a little. ”

It can be seen that Mrs. Li is still very concerned about this old sister who hates to see each other late.

Where did she think of these things before?

"Okay, when the snow stops, let someone go over and ask."

After chatting for a while, they went back to their houses for their lunch breaks.

The days went by like this.

Everyone in the village knew that Shen Qinghan left the village with his mother and went to live in the county. Everyone is praising Shen Qinghan for being a good child.

Carpenter Tan's house has a fireplace that warms the house in winter.

The people in the village were also very envious and curious, but the fireplace was for charcoal, and even if they could afford it, they couldn't afford it, so they could only envy it.

But fortunately, they learned a trick from the second fat family.

Tidy up the kang where you are sleeping, dig a pit in it, and then you can stuff some firewood into it.

At night, the kang will be very warm.

The life of the Bai family has always been the envy and jealousy of all the people in the village, and I heard that their family also specially spent money to hire someone to help them cook and wash dishes.

And the Bai family is warm, and you have to take off your clothes outside when you go in.

I heard that Bai Jinli proposed to the village chief that the road in the village be repaired in the coming year, and she paid for it.

This stunned everyone in the village.

The Bai family paid for the road construction in the village? Don't let them pay?

……

There are many things happening in the village every day, and there is a lot of news, but the most worthy of discussion is the topic that is getting closer and closer to the New Year.

Compared with all the festivals that have been held before, the New Year is the most intense day in the Great Qi Kingdom.

Zhang Shuyao has been living in the county and refuses to go back, and he has to wait until the next year to go back with Yan Yunzhao and them.

Because Yan Su was going back to Beijing, Zhang Shuyao and those who were waiting to protect her were left in the mansion in the county.

It is also because of this that Yan Yunzhao specially invited Zhang Shuyao to come to the Bai family several times after that.

Later, after they discussed, Zhang Shuyao simply lived in the Bai family's old house.

No matter how comfortable the house in the county is, it is not as comfortable as the Bai family's old house, and the most important thing is that it is close to her daughter.

In return, Zhang Shujiao gave Mrs. Li a reward of ten taels of gold a month.

Mrs. Li naturally accepted it generously and agreed.

Since Mrs. Li put Zhang Shuyao in the same category as her from the bottom of her heart, when Zhang Shuyao came to the Bai family as a guest, she would also talk to Zhang Shuyao patiently.

Listen to how Zhang Shuyao used to raise her daughter, how she has come over the years, and so on.

Later, after getting along for a long time, Zhang Shuyao really changed his opinion of Mrs. Li.

Two people get along harmoniously.

They sometimes play chess and poker together.

even discussed together the matter of choosing a continuation for Bai Tianqi.

I just searched and searched, and I searched for almost a winter, but I never found the right one.

But no matter what the days are, Mrs. Li and Mr. Bai have never stopped learning to read and write.

Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, Prince Mu, who had been rushing from the capital, finally found Stone Village.

Zhang Shuyao and Yan Yunzhao don't go back to the capital for the New Year, so it is naturally meaningless for him to stay in the mansion alone.

So he asked His Majesty for leave, and after telling the king of Heshun, he rushed over.
