Chapter Ninety-Four: Eating Chestnuts Together

() This year's autumn exams are finally over, the students have gone home to wait for news, and the officials are busy reviewing the papers behind closed doors.

Zhao Yanjiu had nothing to do in his home, so he ordered Chang Huan to bring a coffee table and a reclining chair in the yard, reclining and stretching his legs to eat dates, and basking in the sun above his head.

Comfortable. It's suddenly warming up today, and it seems that it's still early in winter.

At the right time, a few gray finches came out of the nest on the branches to probe the probe, and they chirped twice, and I don't know if they were hungry.

Yesterday, Zhao Qingmiao went to the study and repeatedly said in front of Zhao Yanjiu that he was innocent of Shen Jiu, and told him not to think about it. But Zhao Yanjiu is a person who has come over, and he doesn't know what happened to him, but he has to understand Zhao Qingmiao himself.

Later, Uncle Zhong also came back from the Confucian Temple. said that the operator had been combined, and the birth dates of the two were a natural match. Zhao Yanjiu had a number in his heart, but he was not in a hurry and planned to be cold about this matter first. After all, about the happiness of my sister's life, I will regret it for the rest of my life if I look away for a while.

Listening to the discussions, Zhao Qingmiao and Shen Jiu walked at a distance of one zhang this morning, and Zhao Yanjiu shook his head and said that he wanted to laugh.

Just saw him turn his head boredly, his eyes passed through the cave door, and he happened to see Su Ajiao who was bending over to do things.

She was dressed in a ginger floral cloth dress, and her face was smaller with a square scarf on her head. The tips of the fingers are red and the joints are a little rough, the pair of embroidered shoes under the long skirt is an inch larger than that of the average woman, and the footsteps are not twisted at all, but they have not lost the softness of their daughter's home, and they casually pick up the broken hair between their foreheads, with a simple rhyme.

Su Ajiao took out a large wooden basin from the room, and turned it upside down with a small sack on the side, and fell to the ground with a 'crackling' color. I saw that she pulled out a layer of hair shell, and then she fingered a small pair of scissors, opened her mouth in three or two clicks, flicked her fingers forward, and the raw chestnuts obediently jumped straight into the wooden basin.

One, two, three...... Zhao Yanjiu stared at Su Ajiao for a while, and suddenly his expression was subtle, he got up and walked straight towards her.

Su Ajiao was too serious to do things, and she didn't hear the footsteps behind her, but a black shadow flickered in front of her eyes, and then she raised her eyes and glanced at it, and there was a person standing in front of her, it was Zhao Yanjiu.

"It's fun, let me try it." Zhao Yanjiu lowered his gaze, he didn't know where he was interested, and he didn't give Su Ajiao a chance to say no, so he directly squatted down and stretched out his hand, grabbing a shelled hairy chestnut on the ground and looking at it.

Su Ajiao endured it, and looked at his face if it was not a joke, and then asked: "This is the work done by the subordinates, I'm afraid that Gongzi and Gongzi can't do it." Or me-"

The rest of the words simply drowned in spit. Su Ajiao found that Zhao Yanjiu's eyes flickered, locked on her fixedly, and pulled the corners of her mouth strangely.

- What kind of tiger and wolf words are these? How can a man say no!

Therefore, Zhao Yanjiu snorted lightly and said contemptuously: "This son is not good, you are optimistic." ”

- Ahhh What a reverie this is?

As if he had just seen Su Ajiao peel off the shell, Zhao Yanjiu was stabbed at the beginning, but after a while, he was also skilled and peeled several pieces.

Su Ajiao has never seen a rich son who is willing to work for his subordinates. So she took it for granted that Zhao Yanjiu was joking and felt fresh.

"Childe, I'll do it anyway."

"Che, you don't believe me? By the way, are you going to roast chestnuts under the stove in a moment? ”

Most people like to eat fried chestnuts with sugar, but Su Ajiao likes to eat boiled chestnuts, which are sweet and soft and glutinous.

The two chatted with each other, but unconsciously peeled the raw chestnuts on the ground.

Su Ajiao carried the wooden basin into the room, ready to light a fire. Leng Buding looked back and found that Zhao Yanjiu had followed in.

"I'll make a fire."

Su Ajiao was stunned: This is, are you going to help to the end? "Okay, Chai He is inside, this is a fire fold."

Zhao Yanjiu took a full stance, rolled up his sleeves, stuffed all the uneven thickness of firewood under the stove, and then lit a fire to burn it.

The spark soon lit up, and a small flame gathered under the firewood. Just when Zhao Yanjiu showed a smile full of confidence, the flames gradually dimmed, and they were not extinguished. He hurriedly puffed up his cheeks to blow the wind, in a vain attempt to ignite the firewood again.

Unbeknownst to him, the fire was gone, but the choking smoke kept coming out from under the stove and quickly filled the house.

"Ahem, ahem! Worst! ”

The corners of Su Ajiao's mouth twitched, and after holding it for a moment, she couldn't bear to step forward and ask him to leave: believe him a ghost. Is this cooking or cooking? The room was full of smoke and miasma.

I really can't stay, Zhao Dagongzi kept Yushu in the wind, and he was not surprised, clapped his hands, and turned his face away. He didn't feel embarrassed, his eyes were still very calm. Just a slightly nasal whisper: I used to cook next.

Su Ajiao didn't really hear it, anyway, she directly invited him out, and opened the window to ventilate and smoke.

Half an hour later, smoke curled from the cooking room, and foaming was boiling in the iron pot. Su Ajiao lifted the lid of the pot, and the aroma of chestnuts went straight into her nose.

She smiled and called out, "Childe." ”

This crisp and thin sound woke up Zhao Yanjiu, who was lying in the courtyard, from his sleep. He whispered yes in his throat, propping up his elbows and leaning on the chaise longue.

Then he squinted and looked at it: "Okay? ”

Su Ajiao brought over a white porcelain bowl, the bowl was a lotus leaf red carp, with a faint white gas on it, and the chestnuts in the bowl were just cooked.

"Childe, this chestnut is sweet, you taste it!"

Zhao Yanjiu picked it up and tasted one, with a relaxed expression, and said, "It's delicious." ”

The four doors of the lobby of the Gongyuan are closed.

It was divided into two rows of people, and the long case was full of papers for this autumn exam, but they were sealed with a white strip at the name and place of origin.

Governor Tong approved one place, frowned and exclaimed: "This arrogant scholar, the test question asks how to deal with the river blockage." He replied that this matter is like a person's internal fire will not disappear, and it will be dredged, and only need to take laxatives to dredge it. Then ask how the levees can prevent flooding. He replied like ants building their nests. Irrelevant! ”

"This official sounds good." After the head of the case, he raised the face of a person, his sword eyebrows were sharp, and he was burning like the sun. Bai Zhou wears regular clothes, and the sleeves and placket are delicately outlined with delicate and rich patterns.

"The upper retaining wall revetment, the lower vertical and horizontal ditch. It's a good way to say it in layman's terms. ”

As soon as he explained, everyone was stunned.

Bai Zhou pinched his sleeve and put the pen aside, took a sip of the teacup, and said slowly: "It can be seen that this person is contemptuous of etiquette, but he is indeed a plastic pillar." Children may wish to look farther. ”

When he said this, it decided the fate of this student.
