In the evening, the events of this day made Shen Zhiqing toss and turn a little, she took out the box and rubbed the rabbit pen repeatedly, although she could not particularly understand what Bai Xuan said to Zhou Xiaoming, but she knew the general meaning. She never thought that if she was from a humble background, she could only live in a place where she couldn't see the sun, all beings were equal, and even Zhou Xiaoming could get the life she wanted. She was a little grateful to Bai Xuan, who opened a door of enlightenment for her and her children, she could know etiquette from words, know right from wrong, know the appearance of the world, and explore the world. Before that, she only knew that her parents taught her to be kind to others, but she didn't know what it was and why it was good, and maybe one day, more children like Zhou Xiaoming could get an equal education and live the life they wanted.

During the lunch break the next day, Shen Zhiqing was about to take a nap. There was a commotion next to him, and a group of children came around Bai Xuan. I saw Bai Xuan dressed in a short fight, what are you going to do with this?

"Shall we catch fish?" Bai Xuan beckoned to her.

I'm really going to catch fish. Before Shen Zhiqing could answer, he was pulled by several children who came to the back of the garden. There is a small stream behind the garden, which is very clear. The stream was shallow, but there weren't many fish, so the children took the opportunity to play in the water. The midday sun can feel a little hot, and the children are chasing and playing by the cool river. Bai Xuan looked at Shen Zhiqing, who was a little idle, and threw a fish over, "Next." The fish didn't actually throw it at Shen Zhiqing, and it plopped into the river, splashing her all over the water.

"You...... Deliberately. Zhiqing glared at him angrily, threw a stone with his hand, and made a "water float", and splashed Bai Xuan all over the water.

"You're really going to repay you." Bai Xuan gritted his teeth with a little smile.

"So what?"

"Okay, you're still doing it." Bai Xuan then splashed the water a few times, and when he saw Shen Zhiqing's face, he laughed.

"You...... Wait. Zhiqing also splashed the water hard, so the original show of catching fish turned into a water fight. The children also took the opportunity to play more and more crazy, everyone came and went, and everyone was splashed wet. Shen Zhiqing's clothes were also wet, her hair was wet on her forehead, and the crystal droplets were still hanging on her face, revealing a different charm from the past. Bai Xuan looked a little distracted, he reached over and helped her pull a few strands of wet hair on her forehead behind her ears. Shen Zhiqing was a little stunned by this sudden move, and her eyes didn't know where to look.

"Sister, you see a lot of fish here." The dog baby suddenly ran over.

was called by the dog baby, Zhiqing's face was crimson and finally put away, the dog baby ran straight over, pulled Zhiqing's sleeve and dragged it forward, "Come on, we must have caught more fish than Erxi them." Zhiqing was dragged forward together, and she glanced back at Bai Xuan, who was still in place, smiling at her in the sun.

Everyone played until dusk, and then they had a good time. Lan Xi brought the dry clothes for everyone to change into, and Zhiqing and the children immediately said goodbye and left. Along the way, the children laughed and laughed, almost jumping back, but Zhiqing was the only one who was ape. When he got home, Zhiyun came over and asked, "Sister, A-Niang is asking, I recently heard that you have found a husband to teach a few children in the neighborhood, isn't it?" Zhiqing thought, this matter can't be hidden after all, but she must not reveal that Bai Xuan is teaching them. Oh, yes. Is there a problem? She replied.

Shen Qin walked in and saw that his daughter had changed her clothes, "Why did you change your clothes too?" ”

"I went fishing today, and my clothes got wet."

"Your husband teaches and catches fish?"

"Oh, it's Mr. today who specially gave us a holiday to catch fish with us."

"And the gentleman who accompanied him to catch the fish. This is quite special, when will my mother meet this gentleman. You have to thank them for teaching you how to read. ”

"My husband is very busy, so he occasionally teaches us by the way." Shen Zhiqing hurriedly found a reason to refuse her mother. "Mother, are you against me going to school?" She was coquettish.

"How could my mother object, the conditions at home did not allow it, so I didn't let you continue to study, and gave your brother the opportunity to study, and your father and I both felt guilty about you. Now that a gentleman is teaching you, it's too late for us to be happy. Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that we are ordinary people, even if you are literate and literate, you can't forget your identity, isn't the final destination of your daughter's family to find a good place to live."

"I see." Shen Zhiqing found that her mother seemed to know something, and there was always something in her words. But she understands that her mother didn't deliberately pour cold water on her, and they, like the neighbors on this street, have been keeping to themselves for so many years and living a life that has been established since birth. Maybe earlier, she would also think that she would live in peace with her mother in this life, but now there will always be a wish in her heart, or a desire, there is a universe beyond the sky, and there is an ocean beyond the four seas, so what is her destiny, life is like a drop in the ocean, why can't she find a scoop of drink in the three thousand weak waters.

In the drowsy meditation, she seemed to feel that she had entered another world, Qinghebang was no longer damp and crowded, pear blossoms were flying, willows were shady, the roads were wide and smooth, the windows of every house were bright and clean, the sound of reading books came from the school on the street, all the children on the street were studying here, the neighbors no longer had to worry about hunger and cold, there was no disturbance of the war, and everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment. She saw Bai Xuan walking from the opposite side of the street, the sun shining on his face, as if it was decorated with gold, he smiled at her silently, suddenly disappeared into the sunlight, turned into a golden light, and disappeared. "Bai Gongzi! White Childe! She shouted everywhere.

"Sister, wake up! Wake up! "Zhiqing was clouded, and when I woke up, I found that the sky was already bright, and I was still carrying the wooden box given by Bai Xuan in my arms." What are you dreaming about, your head is shaking there. Zhiyun looked at Zhiqing strangely.

"What's the matter?" Zhiqing secretly hid the wooden box in the quilt and sat up.

"Daddy's medicine is gone. You go get medicine for me, I'm going to a private school today. Zhiyun handed over a prescription.

"Okay." Zhiqing took the prescription, got up, put on his shirt and walked out.

She walked into the pharmacy, where there was only one guy busy grabbing medicine for someone else. Zhiqing is not in a hurry to urge, waiting for the guy to finish. The curtain of the door of the inner room was lifted, and two people walked out, a middle-aged man wearing a melon skin hat and glasses, and said to another handsome-looking young man, "What Han Gongzi said is very true, I will make comprehensive arrangements." ”

Shen Zhiqing recognized the middle-aged man as the shopkeeper who was entrusted by Bai Xuanzhi to come to the house to see a doctor, "Shopkeeper, I'll grab the medicine." The shopkeeper took the prescription, "Ling Zun is in good health after taking the medicine now, and Bai Xuan Gongzi specially told me to take care of the house." ”

"Oh? Do you know Bai Xuan? The young man next to him turned his face and looked at the girl in front of him.

"He saved our family and is my benefactor."

Han Zheng nodded and said goodbye to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said goodbye to Han Zheng and grabbed medicine for Shen Zhiqing. Although the shopkeeper insisted on refusing to accept the money, Zhiqing still kept the money on the counter.

Han Zheng went to the other garden, and Bai Xuan was boxing in the courtyard at this time. He unfolded his fan and slowly shook it to see when he was done. "Zijun, you're here." Bai Xuan turned around and saw Han Zheng, and the other party said, "Brother Hanyu." ”

The two walked into the living room. "I've been going for the past few days, and according to your explanation, I've arranged everything. Wang Yiping is quite insightful of Western democratic enlightenment thought, he is proficient in foreign languages, and has translated many foreign language books. I have sent these works to the printing workshop for reprinting. Zhou Nan has a number of industries under his name, and he is willing to fund us to build an enlightenment school, and is willing to recruit poor disciples into the industry, part-time work and study. Su Qingzhou contacted a group of new thought students, wrote articles, and opened elegant lectures and debates. Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that Jiang Ruohan hasn't won it yet, and I have visited several times, but it has not been successful. He was born in a family, has a lot of children, and has a deep relationship with the Hanlin Academy, if we can get this person's help, we can get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Indeed, in the family, he is the most suitable person."

"Shopkeeper Zhang has been seeing Jiang Ruohan's father all the year round, and he is willing to help as a lobbyist. Jiang Ruohan's family has not been as good as before in recent years, although his uncle has become an official in the court, but he is not allowed to reuse, saying that he has offended the conservatives again, and the queen mother is also very angry. Although he did not come out, he had a good reputation among the literati, and even the Hanlin Academy recognized him. Given his current awkward situation, I think he also hopes to revive the family lintel on his own. ”

"Or I'll pay him a visit."

"Not yet." Han Zheng suddenly remembered something, "I saw a girl from Shopkeeper Zhang just now, and she said that you are her benefactor." ”

"Oh, just a small favor." Bai Xuan realized who Han Zheng had met and smiled.

"That girl, but you said she taught her to read and write?" Han Zheng understood some of the meaning from Bai Xuan's eyes and smiled.

"Well, yes."

"Brother Hanyu, it seems that there is someone you like." Han Zheng smiled, "Exquisite dice An red bean, I don't know if I am lovesick to the bone." ”

Bai Xuan knew that he saw the red bean bracelet on his wrist, and pulled his sleeves forward, "Your father can't help but satisfy you lately?" Looks like you've got a deal? ”

Han Zheng pinched the handle of the fan and turned around, "The old man sees that I have a stubborn temperament and is hopeless, and he has given up on me, haha." ”

"Ugh." Bai Xuan sighed, "Don't you feel sorry for you to give up such a big business like this and follow me?" ”

"What we do is to speak out for the people, for the awakening of China, and we are excited when we think about it, how can we care about those things outside the body. Besides, with my eldest brother here, I take care of a lot of property in the family. Han Zheng was originally from a wealthy local merchant family, and grew up with Bai Xuan since he was a child, he did whatever Bai Xuan did, Han Zheng's father wanted him to inherit the family business, but Han Zheng felt that he was really not a business material, and he was unwilling to obey his father's orders, so he was punished by his father.

"By the way, your bracelet is pretty good, I want a string too, can you give me one?" Han Zheng pointed at Bai Xuan's wrist with a fan.

Bai Xuanli ignored him, "You don't have anything else to do, you can leave if you have nothing to do, I didn't leave food here." ”

"This is an eviction order, really, if you don't send it, you won't send it, I can't make one myself." Han Zheng muttered and left.

Bai Xuan couldn't help touching the bracelet, thoughtful.
