Chapter 68

Xuan Xue is not only smart, but also very studious, like to study, there is nothing to do always love to hold a stack of military books sitting in the courtyard to read, I think I have read poetry since I was a child, and others can still deal with it, but this military book does not absorb much, sometimes Xuan Xue asked me questions I can't answer for a long time, or it is not what is asked. In order to live up to my title of Mr. Huide Jiaoxi, I had to pick up the military book again to study, thinking that at my age, I had to learn tactics and tactics from scratch, which was really difficult for me. I'm learning and selling, and sometimes when I ask me, I happen to be able to point out a little bit of foolishness.

My brain is really not flexible enough, more and more not as good as before, often learn before a good turn and forget all about it, every day with the military book lying on the desk in front of the window to read, the military book is indeed too boring, sometimes look at it and fall asleep on the desk. Sometimes I will round the field for myself, forget it, forget it, after all, I am older, and my memory is not so good, when Xuan Shi comes to ask me again, at first I will rack my brains to recall what I learned in the military book, and I will start to perfunctory him when I ask more. Xuanzhi, knowledge and stature are good, but this eye strength is not long, just a strong pestle beside me, tirelessly ask questions, humbly ask for advice. It's really annoying to ask, so I will yell at him, "As the saying goes, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book, and I have learned to read and write for several years, and the book is written clearly, don't you know how to read it yourself, you have to ask me everything, is it a decoration with a head on your shoulder."

Xuan Xuan was criticized by me, and the number of times he came to me became less and less, and he didn't come to me for advice at all. At one point, I thought it was my bad temper that annoyed him that kept me from coming to me.

If it weren't for the day before yesterday, I saw Jun'er catching crickets alone next to the haystack on the courtyard wall, and his father used to accompany him, I took two steps forward and stood next to the haystack and asked, "Jun'er, why are you the only one playing here today, your father."

Jun'er fiddled with the crickets in the porcelain jar and was silent, as if he hadn't heard anyone talking to him. I don't often see Jun'er on weekdays, but when I think about it, it's the first time I've talked to him alone, and I've long heard the people in the house talk about it, saying that Jun'er is a child who is naturally withdrawn and doesn't like to talk to people. And because he is the child born to Bai Xiaoqiu and Chu Lianwei, I think about how many sage books I have read, I know that the grievances of the previous generation should not be added to the child, and the child is always innocent, but as soon as I see Jun'er, I always feel that my heart is blocked by a handful of licorice, and I panic when I don't say anything about it, which is very uncomfortable.

Since this kid doesn't want to deal with me, I'd better leave as soon as possible, lest Chu Lianwei see it and think that what I did to her baby son, more is better than less.

Say go, go, continue to look for my mystery, I just walked a few steps, I heard a scream behind me, I looked around, there was no one, instinctively I turned around and ran back, but saw Jun'er lying on the ground, covered with mud, his little face was red, tears swirled in his eyes but he couldn't cry. I leaned down and pulled Jun'er up and asked, "Jun'er, what happened just now, why are you lying on the ground?"

Jun'er lowered his head and still didn't say a word, I swept around him, only to find that he hid his right hand in his sleeve, and I asked again, "Xuanxuan, why do you hide your hand, isn't it that you have done something bad for fear of being seen."

Jun'er hurriedly shook her head at me, but her hand was still in her sleeve and refused to take it out.

I chuckled and said, "If you haven't done anything bad, then stretch out your hand generously and show me, if you don't show me, I'll tell Daddy to go."

"Don't go to my daddy, I won't let you go to my daddy, every time my daddy meets you, my aunt will secretly hide in the room and cry, you are a bad woman, I hate you." Jun'er said and grabbed my shirt and pushed me back, punching me again and again, he hit me at a young age and made me feel a burst of pain, don't you hate me to the extreme, how can you use all your strength to slam on me, not only on the body, but also on my heart.

I don't know if Jun'er just scratched his hand when he hit me or what, but I saw a long and deep crack on his right finger, which kept bleeding out, and I exclaimed, "Jun'er, what's going on with your hand, show me", and pulled Jun'er's hand.

After enduring it for a long time, I finally couldn't hold back, Jun'er cried out, I took out the silk handkerchief in my arms and wiped his tears for him, while blowing cold wind on his fingers.

Chu Lianwei ran over from the corridor, saw Jun'er crying, and saw his bleeding hands, and slapped me in the face without saying a word, only to hear a snap, which made Jun'er, who was howling and crying, suddenly close her mouth, looked at me in a daze, and then looked at his mother.

In the past, I blindly tolerated it, blindly instigated by Chu Lianwei, and relied on Bai Xiaoqiu to spoil her and love her, so I dared to act recklessly in front of me. Now, I have long given up on Bai Xiaoqiu, and I no longer have any expectations for him, although I will still worry about him in my heart, I only hope that he will live a good life, live a happy life, and the older he gets, the more he will look at it.

In the past few years in Baifu, what I have learned the most is not to do things that harm others and benefit myself, but if someone dares to bully me, I will not spare it, I raised my hand and was about to respond with a slap, but my arm was grabbed by the person behind me, and the person pulled me tightly. I shouted, "Bai Xiaoqiu, you are still protecting her until now."

Bai Xiaoqiu glared at me angrily and said, "Mr. Su, I don't care who is right or wrong today, but Weiwei is my wife, I have the responsibility to protect her, she came to me thousands of miles away, there is no one who is considerate in Baifu, if I can't protect her as his husband, how can I be embarrassed." You have to give me some face, don't do anything with her, even if I beg you, can't you?"

I pinched the bloodstained silk handkerchief in my hand, looked at Bai Xiaoqiu, and then looked at Chu Lianwei and Jun'er in her arms, all the grief and indignation finally turned into a chuckle, and said, "Who dares not to give the face of the twelve."

On the way back, I saw Eleven Shao walking towards me from a distance, and I wanted to turn around and choose another way back, but I was afraid that it would be too deliberate, but it would attract his attention. I saw that I couldn't avoid him, so I subconsciously had to raise my hand, the wide sleeves just covered half of my face, I pretended to look at a grass in front of me in a daze, and there was a faint smile on my face.

When Eleven approached, I was still looking at the grass on the ground, and I knew that he was standing beside me and looking at me, but I didn't want to greet him at the moment, as if the strong fortress forged in my heart had lost its guard and suddenly collapsed, and I didn't have the courage to greet anyone.

Eleven Shao has never been a nosy person, he should be very knowledgeable when he doesn't speak, let's go, let's go, let's go, don't talk to me, don't ask anything. I was thinking like this, but Eleven Shao still opened his mouth in the end, and he said, "Pretend that nothing has happened, is it true that nothing has happened?"

I glanced sideways at Eleven Shao, grinned, and said, "I don't understand what Eleven Shao said."

Eleven Shao was slightly stunned, there was no smile on his face, he looked at the grass on the ground like me, and said, "You can deceive anyone in the world, but you can't deceive yourself."

I was still laughing, and said with a smile, "I really don't understand what Eleven Shao said, lie to yourself, isn't that stupid."

Eleven Shao suddenly turned to look at me and asked, "Why don't you argue for yourself, your love is really so humble, so humble that you have repeatedly tolerated it, and you have repeatedly accommodated him."

I looked at Eleven Shao, his face was serious, and I secretly smiled bitterly in my heart, I have been wronged, what kind of anger are you. I only drank wine once with you, why do you talk about me like that, pretending to know me very well to teach me a lesson. said that he was drinking on the day of the wedding of the seventeen young man, and the fourteen young man asked you in person if you still didn't admit it, presumably you are also very timid, for fear of getting involved in an improper relationship with me, which is plain misunderstood.

I sighed lightly and said with a smile, "It seems that Eleven Shao doesn't understand me, no wonder, I have only drunk with you once, talked a few times, what I do Eleven Shao has no right to interfere, and I don't need you to teach me what to do and what not to do, and also, just now Eleven Shao said the wrong thing, I am not humble, I don't want to care, it is light and light, it is a large number of adults, how can Eleven Shao understand."

Eleven Shao sneered, "The clouds and the wind are light, and the excuses that come and go without a trace seem to be very elegant, and the mind is broad-minded, often because the love is too deep and the injury is too serious, no matter how you pretend to be very strong on the surface, in fact, your heart is full of holes and is vulnerable."

I looked up to the sky and smiled, "Eleven don't be smart, although you are older than me, many things may not be as open as mine."

Eleven Shao said again, "If it's really as Mr. said, why can't you forget Twelve, you know that you can't be together, why do you still think in your heart, why don't you try to accept another person, people in the house used to say that you and Seventeen like each other, but I don't believe it, I always think that you and Seventeen are the same as me, a gentleman's friendship is as light as water, maybe Seventeen's heartiness can remove the haze in your heart, so that you have no scruples, so you are willing to be with him, even if people misunderstand you, you don't argue, After Seventeen left, you slept for two days, and the crying still couldn't change my opinion of you. Maybe I don't know you well enough as Mr. said, but one thing I'm sure of is that Sir is not happy in Baifu, you are very lonely, and often when you are smiling, I can see the sadness in your heart from your face."

I was speechless by Eleven Shao, I could only look at him fixedly, he didn't know me, he knew me too well, and even knew myself better than me, I couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of my heart, and only asked after a while, "Eleven Shao is really amazing, so I don't know what to say to respond to you for a while."

Eleven Shao smiled faintly and said, "Because I'm like you, we are all lonely people at heart."

My heart trembled slightly, and I looked at the eleventh young man again, and asked, "The eleventh major general of the White Mansion is the most proud son of the old general Bai during his lifetime, and the most beloved younger brother of Miss Bai.

Eleven Shao's eyebrows flickered with a gray light, and he didn't reply to me, but only said to me, "I can't help you with anything else, if you feel like drinking at any time and come to me, I will accompany you to the end without saying a word, and don't forget to put warm water on your face when you go back."

After Eleven Shao finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared at the corner of the corridor, I looked at the green empty grass in front of me, and suddenly remembered that Ai'er had said to me that Eleven Shao didn't like women, and my heart couldn't help but tremble again.

I wanted to rush back after listening to Eleven Shao's words, but my face was hot and painful, Chu Lianwei gave me a slap with a ruthless hand, if she was seen by Ai'er, she would chase me and interrogate me again and again, while rubbing her face constantly, she walked to the gate.

Today, Azu and Rourou were not on duty, and the soldiers guarding the gate saw me and all called me in unison, "Huide teaches bachelors."

I nodded and smiled at them.

Standing under the tree and looking at the street, watching the pedestrians coming and going on the opposite street, suddenly a book fell from the sky and fell on my head, and before I could react, another one, two, three books fell on me. Everything is unfavorable today, and the anger of being slapped by Chu Lianwei has not yet dissipated, and now who dares to break ground on my Su Feifei's head, taking a deep breath, he can't suppress the flames that are rising up in his heart, and he raised his head to look at the tree, but he saw Xuan Xuan staring at me with a pair of round eyes, and he was holding a book in his hand.

I shouted, "Xuanxuan, you come down for me."

He jumped down from the tree and stood in front of me, like a child who had done something wrong, and whispered, "Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

I slapped Xuan Xuan on the head and said, "You are really good, you have never come to see me these days, ask me for knowledge, I have been looking for you for most of the day, you actually hide in the tree to read, and these days in the house I can't see you, are you reading on the tree, or are you still angry with me."

Xuan Xuan blinked his eyes and said, "Sir, I'm not angry, I now know how comfortable it is to read a book on the tree, what a pleasure, a person quietly, no one will come to disturb, and, the fourth brother said, he used to read like this, the fourth brother also told me a lot of knowledge in the military book, you look at the small branch in front is mine, the big branch in the back is the fourth brother's, I and the fourth brother have a branch, I don't come to you these days, it's all because the fourth brother is teaching me the knowledge of the military book, sir, do you know, The fourth brother knows a lot, I like to listen to him tell me about tactics and tactics, I really want to be a real hero like the fourth brother."

Following the direction of Xuanxuan's pointing, I looked up and took a closer look, and saw that the branches and leaves were stretching out in all directions. I remember Xiaoqiu telling me a long time ago that there were two evergreen trees in front of Baifu Gate, with large trunks and lush branches. When he was a child, he often climbed the tree and jumped from one branch to another like a monkey, and fell asleep on the tree without paying attention while playing. No one could have imagined that the next day he would swagger down from the tree. The old general was so angry that his eyebrows were raised, his hands trembled, and he was punished for thinking about it in front of the wall, and he was not allowed to step out of Baifu for half a month, so it was a matter. His mother was also seriously ill because of this. But that's it, he doesn't have a memory, and he throws any punishment out of the sky when he gets free. Once, when he found something black in the tree, out of curiosity, he took a branch and picked it out, and this was a terrible pick, and a swarm of bees swarmed out of the honeycomb, densely packed, and surrounded him, and stared at him in a sloppy manner. Now he is honest, he doesn't need to be punished by General Bai, he has been lying in bed for more than a month, covered with strips of cloth, and he is a super adult meat dumpling. Later, General Bai Lao thought of a way to give him a stack of military books, saying that it is okay for you to stay in the trees if you like, and if you read these military books, you can do whatever you want. I don't care about this, I can't see anyone inside or outside the house, and I lie on the tree every day with a military book, and I have accumulated a lot of knowledge over time. With his own understanding and accomplishment, it is expected that he will become the first soldier of the imperial court in the future.

I am convinced of Xuan's words, I am not very interested in military books, how can I expect him to learn really useful things from me, if it is a woman, but after all, he is a little young man in Baifu, and he will inevitably go to the battlefield to serve the country like his brothers in the future. If Bai Xiaoqiu can teach him well in this regard, so as to make up for my shortcomings, it will not be a good way.

I smiled and said, "I don't dare to say anything else about your fourth brother, if you ask him for the knowledge in this military book, it would be better, you just follow him to learn hard, humbly ask for advice, and in time it will become a great tool."

Xuan Xuan jumped up happily in front of me and repeatedly asked, "What Mr. said is true."

I pointed to the crescent moon that bent high above, "Of course it's true, more real than the moon in the sky."

I went into the courtyard with Xuanxuan, and when Ai'er saw me coming back, she hurriedly put down the small bucket in her hand and ran to me, complaining, "Sir, you are finally back."

Seeing Ai'er's stunned face, I asked, "Look at you like this, is something happening here when I'm away?"

Ai'er took my arm and said embarrassedly, "Sir, another student from Huide College has left today, and now there are only two students left in Huide College, Xuan Xuan and Su Shaoyuan." Ai'er sighed and said, "Think about it two years ago, when our Huide Academy first started to recruit students, I don't know how many school-age students came to study in Luoyang City, and how many dignitaries and nobles in the court sent their sons and daughters and grandchildren to study and read.

I smiled and said, "It's because I'm not good at academics, and I can't stand in the way of others if they have a good place to go."

Ai'er said angrily, "Mr. really doesn't understand or pretends not to understand, if it weren't for someone spreading rumors around the house, saying that Mr. doesn't learn and has no skills, and only has a good-looking skin, how can those people come and go."
