Chapter 63: The Mantis Yellow Sparrow
Cohabitation officially began.
Jinshu adheres to the educational philosophy of teaching by example rather than words, and insists on influencing Shen Zhizhang with his own behavior - those who can do it will never talk nonsense.
After tidying up the house, Jin Shu sat quietly under the window and practiced calligraphy, without even giving Shen Zhizhang a look. Sure enough, he didn't shake around a few times and felt bored, so he took the initiative to sit opposite her, pick up a pen and write and draw on the paper.
Although at noon, when Xiaohuan cleaned up the table, he found that there were a few more strange-shaped Wang Ba on the book. However, he was able to sit quietly for a while to collect his heart, and there was already a big breakthrough.
Don't rush it.
So when he ate at noon, Jin Shu still served him soup with a smile: "Let's go to the street to buy something in the afternoon, right?" ”
"What are you going to buy?" Shen Zhizhang asked.
"I'll send you to school tomorrow! Buy some school bags, stationery, books and whatever. Jin Shu said with a smile: "The new semester is new!" ”
Shen Zhizhang lost his appetite in an instant, put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked depressed: "Actually...... I'm not ready to go to school yet, can I go back in a few days? ”
"Why? Didn't you promise your mother and sister-in-law this morning? Jin Shu wondered: "What's more, Mr. Ruan praises you a lot, why don't you go?" ”
"I ...... I haven't been to school in a long time. Shen Zhizhang was a little ashamed when he mentioned it: "Besides, I'm twenty-one years old this year, and I always feel quite awkward." ”
"When was the last time you went to school?" Jin Shu asked.
Shen Zhizhang thought for a while and replied innocently: "Eight years old." ”
What the? At this age, isn't it equivalent to dropping out of school in the second or third grade of elementary school? She even thought that he could participate in next year's imperial examination?
Jinshu took a bite of food stuck in his throat, coughed for a long time, blinked his eyes and asked, "That...... Do you know all the words? ”
"Almost, right? I don't know. Shen Zhizhang lowered his head and quickly pulled two mouthfuls of rice, his ears were red with shame, this is too embarrassing!
Jin Shu slapped the chopsticks on the table, incredible! She couldn't find the right adjectives to describe her mood for a while, so she stammered, "But...... I see that you usually talk and do things quite well-mannered, huh? ”
Shen didn't speak, and kept eating with his head down to hide his embarrassment.
"Huh? So small, why not read a book? Jin Shu was incredulous, and asked again. But Shen Zhizhang still lowered his head and pulled rice, without saying a word.
Jinshu raised his hand to hold his chopsticks and said angrily: "Don't eat it!" Tell me what's going on? At the age of eight, why did you suddenly stop studying? ”
"Don't you stop reading! What's all the fuss about? Shen Zhizhang threw down the chopsticks suddenly, and said in an unkind tone: "If you want to joke, I'll just say it!" ”
What's there to lose your temper about? I haven't gotten angry yet, he's on his head? Jin Shu was aggrieved in his heart, and said in his heart, why do I do so many pictures? Aren't I thinking about your future? Are you a fierce ghost?
She didn't look at him again, picked up her chopsticks and continued eating. Love to say it or not, don't say pull it down, eat!
Seeing that Jinshu no longer paid attention to him, Shen Zhizhang also felt that his temper was a little excessive: "Oh, what am I doing to her?" He sat there for a moment, and when he saw that the bowl of soup she had served him was still in his hand, the guilt in his heart flooded.
Shen Zhizhang silently picked up the chopsticks, secretly picked up a chopstick dish, and then secretly glanced at the brocade book, and quickly sent it to her bowl.
Jinshu immediately put down the bowl: "Xiaohuan, change the bowl for me." ”
"Don't don't, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, can't I?" Shen Zhizhang bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "When I was eight years old, I fell ill and never went to school again. However, I also read a lot of history books later, and there is basically no problem in reading words. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to adapt to the atmosphere of the school for a while. ”
"What else?" Jin Shu saw the steps and went down: "Don't you want to go for this?" ”
"I ...... I didn't have a good reputation before, but I'm older, I'm afraid it's a little embarrassing, right? ”
"Those who are afraid of wolves and tigers are afraid of tigers." Jin Shu sighed with emotion, is this state okay? Looks like it's time to pour him some chicken soup.
She put down her chopsticks, slowed down her voice and asked gently, "I only want to ask you, do you want to join the ranks?" Putting aside the Shen family, identity and other concerns, just say if you want to? ”
I think so.
Shen Zhizhang lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, didn't his childhood dream be to be a general, assist the king, calm the war, and defend the country? If it weren't for that incident, I'm afraid he would also be a fierce general in the imperial court now, holding a longbow and riding a fast horse, so he would not be in high spirits.
"Yes." He spoke slowly, in a heavy tone, how difficult it was to say this word.
"Okay." Jin Shu nodded seriously and said, "Then do you want me to ask my father to give you an official?" ”
"Of course not!" Shen Zhizhang's face changed, and he directly refused: "You can't do this!" What do you think of me Shen Zhizhang! ”
Jin Shu's tone was soft, and he comforted him: "I know, so next year's scientific examination is the best way for you to enter the ranks." Or do you want to wait another three years? ”
"I ......"
"If you want anything, just work hard, no one will laugh at people who work hard, you know?" Jinshu poured chicken soup directly into him: "What do you want to do so much?" Do whatever you have to do, go to the academy to learn things frankly, take a test back, and become an official in the future. People will always only see good people, and no one will have the time to worry about your past. We don't steal or rob, what is there to be afraid of. ”
Shen Zhizhang stared at her a little blankly: "What you said makes sense!" ”
"Show your momentum, straighten your back and go to school." The brocade book clapper set: "Eat!" ”
Domineering!
————————————
"These are the best wolf pens we have here, come and choose, which one do you like?" The shopkeeper personally came to greet the distinguished guests, and Shen Zhizhang followed him with high morale to choose the four treasures of the study. Jin Shu sat at the small table downstairs drinking tea and waiting.
"Princess, the horse master has really changed a lot recently!" Dou Qian admired Jinshu a lot: "I really never thought that Master Horse would come to this kind of place to buy things." It's all thanks to you! ”
"Hmm. Where did he usually go? Jin Shu asked casually.
Dou Qian choked instantly: "Back to the princess, huh...... This son is just eating, eating, drinking and drinking. ”
"Oh~" Jinshu understands in seconds, it must be going to Qinglou.
"Hey, hey." Dou Qi smiled.
"Who do you usually go with?" Jin Shu smiled and said.
"It's with Gongzi Hu, King Huan's little son, and Hou Gongzi." Dou Qian hurriedly replied, "You've seen it all." ”
"Well, who do they all like about Harukain?" Jin Shu pretended to ask casually.
"Hou Gongzi got married, and basically just secretly went to drink. Xiao Shizi likes a girl named Mengru, Hu Gongzi changes every time, he ......" Dou Qian gushed endlessly, until he saw Xiaohuan covering his mouth and laughing, he realized that he had been tricked.
Dou Qian sighed in his heart, it's over, it's over, I can't stand you, childe! I really didn't mean it, it was the princess who tricked me!
Jin Shu asked with a smile: "What about your son?" ”
"Childe, he ...... He ...... "Dou Qi cried with a sad face, not knowing how to answer.
"Alright." Jin Shu saw that the child was scared silly, so he giggled: "Xiaohuan, take him out to buy some snacks." "Look, scare the kids!
Everyone left, and Shen Zhizhang didn't come out of the back room. I saw Mr. Dongxu, who was dressed in a purple robe, walking down the stairs Shi Shiran, and quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Please Sixth Princess." ”
Worst! I met again.
Jin Shu smiled quietly and nodded: "Zhu Gongzi doesn't have to be polite. ”
"What the princess said yesterday is to make me admire!" Mr. Dongxu touted it every day, and the brocade book accepted it according to the order: "Where is it, Zhu Gongzi has won the award." ”
"The princess has just made a good routine! Tell the truth about the little guys around the colt, it's really six! Mr. Dongxu touted again, and Jinshu once again accepted the order: "It's just a joke!" ”
"Then why doesn't the princess ask me what a routine is and what is a six?" Mr. Dongxu asked with a smile again.
The tense things in Jinshu's mind broke instantly,, routine! Is this guy waiting here?
It's really a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind!
"I ...... This ......" Jinshu panicked, she stood up abruptly and took a step back, and asked nervously, "Are you ......?"
Mr. Dongxu's smile gradually faded, and he slowly walked to Jinshu's side, and whispered in her ear: "You are not the sixth princess. I've been suspicious of your identity since the beginning, you know that we are from the same place, so why did you hide it last time I asked you? ”
Jin Shu's face turned pale in an instant, and his blood was completely gone, and he was seen through when it was over. Zhu Dongxu's friends and enemies are unknown, the comer is not good, her identity is exposed, what should I do?
She bit her lip and was about to go out and make it clear, when Mr. Dongxu beside her was suddenly picked away, and Shen Zhizhang's irritable and angry questioning voice came from behind her: "What are you doing?" Why? It's so close, huh? ”
Shen Zhizhang squeezed Mr. Dongxu away, stood between the two of them, looked Zhu Dongxu up and down, and looked unpleasant: "Yo! What about whispering? ”
