Chapter 34: Opening
They all guessed wrong, Qin Lie didn't stutter.
There is nothing unspeakable that they guessed.
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was an authentic official dialect, with a round tone and a clear voice, with a slight tail note. The tail sound sounded like a thin streak of water on the surface of the water as a fish swam by. But it doesn't sound awkward, it's nice to hear, and it can distinguish him from people born and raised in the capital.
Although he still didn't say much, and he never opened his mouth without asking him, it was much better than when he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
The first time Xiao Dong listened to him was on the morning of early summer, she and Shen Qiang, and Yao Jinfeng, the three of them were pinching flowers in the garden - Xiao Dong has always been very curious about the fact that impatiens dye their nails, and when she was in college, she had a classmate whose hometown was in the mountains, and when she came to school, her nails were dyed with impatiens, which was a very warm orange-red. The people in the dormitory were very curious to try it, but they couldn't dye it for various reasons.
If the flowers are sun-dried and then pinched, the color juice is not very suitable.
"Hey, look over there."
When Xiao Dong turned his head to look, Qin Lie was standing still, he looked like he had just finished a punch, but he was still calm and relaxed. The little guy who followed him hurriedly put on his coat.
The two gangs walked face to face, and Yao Jinfeng spoke first: "Huh? You also got up so early? ”
Originally, the three of them were waiting for Qin Lie to make a hum or a hum, or no sound came out, and everyone went their own way, but they didn't expect Qin Lie to speak: "I don't practice all the time, my fists and feet are rusty." What are you here for? ”
The three of them froze together.
Qin Lie actually spoke?
Did they hear it wrong, or did they not wake up?
"I'll go back first, or I'll be late for school."
He walked past the three men, six eyes fixed on him and followed him until he turned around and could no longer see the figure.
Xiao Dong came back to his senses first: "He ......"
"He spoke." Shen Qiang nodded vigorously.
"So he didn't stutter?"
Ahem, definitely not.
And he has a very nice voice and is quite energetic.
The three of them looked at each other, pinching the flowers happily just now, but now they didn't have the heart to continue.
"Why doesn't he stammer?"
Shen Qiang muttered in a low voice: "Hmm, he may recognize life?" ”
Yao Jinfeng glanced at her: "You think he's a girl?" I don't even recognize life, he recognizes ......"
The maid who followed next to her coughed, and Yao Jinfeng swallowed the indecent words that might appear under her without saying anything.
"Let's go back."
Shen Qiang and Yao Jinfeng spent a day tinkering, mashing the flowers and leaves, adding alum and other things to pickle, and then carefully smearing these mushes on their nails, and they had to wrap them up.
"Wash it off tomorrow when you wake up, preferably for three days in a row."
Xiao Dong didn't apply it, and he already felt awkward enough when he thought about having ten fingers pierced through the wind all night. Watching them play and make fun while tossing, and have fun. Probably for them, what matters is the dyeing process rather than the result.
Shen Qiang spread her hands flat on the table, her fingers were greatly parted for the maid to paint her nails, and whispered: "We also got it when we were at home, we have to be sneaky, and we can't let the adults catch it." ”
Yao Jinfeng's fingers were already wrapped, but she wanted to scratch the itch, the more she couldn't scratch it, the more itchy she felt, she touched Xiaodong with her shoulder: "Help me scratch." ”
Xiao Dong stretched out his hand to scratch the itch for her: "Here? ”
"A little bit more...... Yes, that's it, a little bit of effort. I used to see people dyeing it with a kind of red porcelain clay, which was very red, and it had to be mixed with lime or something, but the skin and flesh next to the nails were badly eroded. ”
Lime, huh? That's exciting.
Xiao Dong said, "Okay? ”
"Alright."
Shen Qiang asked: "I heard that after this summer, Sister Xiaodong is going to go to school?" ”
Xiao Dong was stunned: "Father didn't tell me ......" Zhao Lu mentioned it once.
Oh my God, she didn't want to go at all.
How leisurely and happy these days are now, sleeping until you wake up naturally every day, eating and sleeping when you want, and doing whatever you want. But as soon as I went to school, I wasn't so comfortable, like a golden hoop on my head all of a sudden-
I have been in school for more than ten years in my last life, and I have long been tired of it. I didn't expect to become the county lord and have to go to school.
Xiao Dong leaned forward sullenly: "I don't want to go." ”
"I heard that going to school is interesting, not only reading, but also learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Shen Qiang came closer: "I heard that there was a very famous talented girl in the capital, Ou Lan Ying, who was also in the palace, and she was in charge of this Jiyutang, and she was still the master who taught the piano." ”
"Well, I've heard that too. She's so powerful, even a few princesses are afraid of her, and they won't give any face when they say they'll be punished......."
The more powerful the master, the more difficult it is to mix in life.
Xiao Dong sighed, and suddenly felt that the future was bright.
Shen Qiang and Yao Jinfeng also wanted to accompany her to study, and they were very concerned about it. Shen Qiang was looking forward to going to school, she had come to the capital for this. Besides, she hadn't seen Shen Fang for a long time, and she could only see her when she went to school. Thinking about it this way, Shen Qiang couldn't wait for the summer to pass soon, and they would go to school tomorrow.
Yao Jinfeng is just as unhappy as Xiao Dong - she doesn't like everything that restricts her nature. It's not that no one in the palace taught her the rules, she learns very quickly, but if she really follows those rules in every move, word and deed, she feels that she will definitely be suffocated.
And she also knows that this is still in the palace, King An is not a rigid person, and the rules in the palace are not strict, most of the time, everyone turns a blind eye to her. And the rules in the palace will only be more and more complicated, and you can't make a mistake.
The two of them sighed, sitting in the city of sorrow, so that the maids on the side wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh.
Hu Shi comforted softly: "The county lord doesn't have to worry, it's not that difficult to go to school." We don't go to school to catch the exam, if we learn well, we don't have to worry about the temper, and Mr. will not be deliberately embarrassed. ”
"But......" Xiao Dong's voice was very low, and Hu Shi didn't hear what she muttered.
"What did the county lord say?"
Yao Jinfeng's ears were sharp, and his mouth said quickly: "She said, then she won't be able to sleep lazy." ”
Hu Shi wanted to reprimand her with a straight face, but he felt unbearable.
Xiao Dong was born a little bigger than her palm, and she grew to such a big size day by day, Yuxue is cute, smart and sensible, how can she be willing to train.
It's just that no matter how reluctant she is, the child will grow up after all, and she can't wrap Xiaodong under her arm to protect her for the rest of her life.
