Chapter 69
Early in the morning, Bai Xiaoqiu took Jun'er to my house, at that time I was lying in bed and did not get up, in fact, I had already woken up, but my body was lazy and did not want to get up. I thought there weren't many children in the academy anyway. Since getting my permission, Xuan Xuan is now more and more not coming to me, only one to run to Bai Xiaoqiu's house, now Bai Xiaoqiu has become his mentor and friend, there is nothing to do, the two of them get together to carefully study the book of war, Xuan Xuan is more and more fond of the various skills and strategies in the book, read it when eating, read it before going to bed, and even hold the book in his hand when he walks to greet people, it is to the point of being crazy.
Two years ago, he was quite close to me, but now the older I get, the farther away I become, and I can't help it, who made me academically poor. Taking advantage of the fact that Su Shaoyuan had not yet come to the academy, he continued to sleep under the quilt, and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes, I had a dream. I dreamed that there were colorful chrysanthemums blooming everywhere on a barren mountain, and the fragrance of flowers came to my nose, I was alone in the sea of flowers, flocks of butterflies fluttered their beautiful wings and danced in the air, some were like fairies in the forest, with all directions, some of the wings seemed to have eyes, blazing, and the broad-leaved butterflies were more like kites flying in the air in spring, swaying and colorful. Some fly from one flower to another. Since ancient times, butterflies have been the embodiment of beautiful things, and the story of Liang Zhuhua's butterfly is almost a household name and everyone knows it. Even ordinary people are extremely adored for butterflies. I spread my arms and danced among the flowers with the butterflies, my legs jumped, the water sleeves were thrown into the air, the three thousand green silks fluttered in the wind, the refreshing fragrance of the flowers was intoxicating, I forgot all the pain and troubles, and danced to my heart's content, and suddenly I saw a man standing not far away, he was wearing a light blue narrow-sleeved gown, and the placket and cuffs were embroidered with red gold silk threads, he smiled slightly, and strode towards me. I flew up and shouted "Seventeen Less". Seventeen young man held a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums in his hand, I thought it was for me to reach out and take it, but he stepped back, and he told me that he was waiting for his beloved girl, and he was going to give this beautiful flower to that girl. I didn't listen to rob him, Seventeen Shao ran away with flowers in his hand, and I laughed and made trouble with Seventeen Shao, fluttering butterflies among the flowers, chasing and playing with each other. We were having fun, but I heard someone call me, "Sir, the twelve young and Jun'er are here."
I sat up from the bed, the smile on my face had not faded, and Ai'er asked me, "Mr. was dreaming just now, I called Mr. several times in a row, and I saw that Mr. was as red as a flying glow, and his face was radiant, it must have been a sweet dream."
I laughed and said, "I dreamed that seventeen was less."
Ai'er's eyes flashed with surprise, then smiled, took a thin shirt from the back of the chair and draped it over me, and said, "It's been two years since Seventeen Shao left Baifu, time flies so fast, since Seventeen Shao left, it is difficult to see such a bright smile on Mr. 's face, sure enough, Mr. is only happiest when he is with Seventeen Shao."
Ai'er was about to say something, but suddenly her face was stunned, as if she remembered something, and said to me, "Sir, the twelve young men and Jun'er are still outside the door."
While putting on my shoes and socks, I asked, "When will they come?"
Ai'er replied, "I've been here for a while, at first I was going to wake you up, but Twelve Shao didn't let you, he said that you can finally sleep more and let you sleep well, he took Jun'er to enjoy the flowers in the yard, and then told him after you woke up, I saw that you couldn't wake up for a long time, Twelve Shao and Jun'er have been waiting outside, so they quietly came in to wake you up, and never wanted to disturb Mr.'s good dreams."
I said in my heart, the father and son came to me early in the morning to find out what to do, told Ai'er to fetch water, and after a hurried wash, I glanced at Ai'er, Ai'er turned around and went out, and after a while, Bai Xiaoqiu pulled Jun'er into the house.
As soon as I entered the door, Jun'er knelt down in front of me with a thud, kowtowed to me three times, and I shouted "Jun'er, what are you doing". Reaching out to pull Jun'er, he knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.
What kind of play was the father and son playing in my house early in the morning, I looked at Bai Xiaoqiu again and asked, "Twelve Shao, what are you doing, let Jun'er get up."
Bai Xiaoqiu stood aside, smiled slightly, and said to Jun'er, "Jun'er, your head is also kowtowed, why don't you scream quickly."
Jun'er hurriedly stretched out her arms at my feet and shouted, "Mr. is above, please accept Jun'er's worship, and in the future, please ask Mr. to be my literate gentleman, Jun'er must study hard and never disappoint Mr. 's expectations."
”。
What Jun'er said was clear-eyed, I was confused, and I never remembered when I promised who would accept Jun'er as a schoolchild and teach him to read and write.
I looked at Bai Xiaoqiu, at Ai'er standing by the window, and at Jun'er kneeling on the ground, his small eyes looked at me fixedly, full of anticipation.
I said, "Twelve Shao, if you bring Jun'er to me to make amends today, I will gladly accept it, but let me accept Jun'er as a schoolchild, I will never agree, the young lady is knowledgeable, I heard that I have read a lot of books before, Twelve Shao, you are also a hero, with the careful teaching of your husband and wife, are you afraid that Jun'er will not be able to become a big weapon in the future, today's incident should have never happened, Twelve Shao or hurry up and leave with Jun'er." After speaking, I glanced at Ai'er.
Ai'er looked embarrassed, still standing in front of the window and looking at me motionlessly, then at Bai Xiaoqiu, and called me "sir".
Bai Xiaoqiu followed by a call to "Mr. Su", frowning and pretending to be very embarrassed.
I didn't want to say anything more to Bai Xiaoqiu, got up and poured a cup of tea, and before I drank it, I saw Bai Xiaoqiu walking a few steps forward, standing in front of me, arching his hand at me, and said earnestly, "Mr. Su, today I made a special trip to apologize to you, I'm sorry for the incident the day before yesterday, here I apologize to you for my wife, but Jun'er, what's wrong with him, today he made a special trip to worship you, just hope you can teach him to read and paint, he was still young before, and now Jun'er has reached the age of hair, it is time to do something seriously, you probably don't know it, Jun'er envied his little uncle's mystery, and often said in front of me that he would take the Huangkou Yi exam like his little uncle in the future and win a good ranking. In the past few years that Mr. has been in Baifu, Xuan Xuan has changed from an ignorant child to a diligent and studious teenager who reads poetry and books, and we all see his progress, even the eldest brother is full of praise for Mr., so I hope that Mr. can also give me some pointers on my face, and I hope that Mr. will be perfect."
Bai Xiaoqiu's words were extremely sincere, in the end, it was Aiko's heart, I think I can understand his feelings, but when I think of Chu Lianwei, I have too many worries, and I am hesitating, Ai'er added oil and vinegar to the side, "Sir, look at it, what a good thing this is, Huide College has another student, or the young master of our own house, they all say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and now Jun'er is a good age to study, and our academy is short of schoolchildren, mutual benefit, sir, what are you hesitating about, hurry up and agree."
Jun'er's little clever appearance immediately kowtowed to me again, and her immature voice said, "Please accept Jun'er as your schoolchild, please accept Jun'er as your schoolchild."
I was in a dilemma for a while, Ai'er and Bai Xiaoqiu on the side kept saying good things, too, what is wrong with Jun'er, other children are the only ones who don't accept Jun'er, so I can't say it's reasonable, thinking like this, my heart is soft, and I smiled and said to Jun'er, "Mr. promises, hurry up."
A smile appeared on Jun'er's pure little face, and before I could let him get up, he stood up and threw himself into Bai Xiaoqiu's arms, and said happily, "Daddy, Mr. has accepted me as a schoolchild."
Seeing that I agreed, Ai'er happily prepared to move the chair over.
I said, "Jun'er is a student of Huide College, but I'm afraid that the twelve young people are very busy and have no time to stay here, so let his father and son go back early."
Ai'er was stunned for a moment, and then stood by the window and just looked at me.
Bai Xiaoqiu smiled lightly, "What Mr. said is true, I'll go back and prepare." After finishing speaking, he pulled Jun'er and turned around and walked out the door.
Early in the morning, Bai Xiaoqiu and Jun'er were made of such a fuss by the two fathers and sons, and they didn't leave until almost noon. I was dizzy and dizzy, and it was already past the time of breakfast, my stomach was rumbling, and when I saw the shortbread on the table, I hurriedly grabbed two pieces and swallowed them.
Ai'er is carrying a small bucket to water the pomegranate trees in the yard, following me in the past few years, the most unforgettable thing Ai'er can not forget is to water these pomegranate trees, no matter the wind and rain, ice and snow, it is still carefully cared for. Last summer, these pomegranate trees bore a lot of pomegranates, all of which were plump and draped. I promised him that this year I would let him eat sweet and tender pomegranates.
I sat down at the table and shouted to Ai'er, who stood outside the window, poked her head in from the outside and asked me, "Sir, you call me".
I looked stunned, holding the plush doll that Rourou gave me the day before yesterday, holding the doll with my left hand and turning my right hand, just not looking at her, and said, "You come in, I have something to ask you."
Ai'er tied an apron around her waist, rubbed her hands on the apron, and said with a smile, "Sir, what's so mysterious, I'm busy watering here."
I raised my head and glanced at Ai'er, and asked, "Tell me about Jun'er, I just started to dislike it the day before yesterday, and I came with Jun'er today."
Ai'er smiled and said, "No, it's still twelve who have the foresight to know that our Huide Academy is short of students, so I let Jun'er come today."
I said twice, "Is it the twelve young people who are prescient, or who secretly ran to offer hospitality, maybe how to bury me in front of the twelve young people and the young lady, in the end, I can't keep people because of my academic inadequacy."
Ai'er hurriedly said, "Mr. is rich and rich, and the people of the entire Baifu see it in their eyes, even if someone is jealous of Mr., they only dare to be behind their backs, not to mention that Mr. is a bachelor of Huide who is personally enshrined by the Holy Lord, and he will never dare to offend Mr. on the surface, and the third wife is too, and he doesn't care about the people in his own house, let them 。。。。。。 ”。
In the two years since the seventeenth young man left, the third wife was alone in the house, and there were only a few girls who did things with her, because she always had a grudge against me, and she ran to my house every now and then to find fault. I endured it, but the girl in her house made trouble, which made me feel very angry.
I interrupted Ai'er's words, and said impatiently, "It's good that you know, don't let me hear these words in the future, no matter what, the third wife is also the master of the Baifu side, she is the master, you are a girl, what to say and what not to say that you have to have a number in your heart."
Ai'er consciously said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "What Mr. taught me is that Ai'er knows it, and she will never talk nonsense in the future, so as not to provoke right and wrong and hurt Mr. in vain." Ai'er turned around and wanted to leave, but I stopped her.
Ai'er rolled her eyes, waved her hand at me and said, "Sir, don't ask anything, Jun'er's affairs have nothing to do with me, it's all the idea of the twelve-young."
I only smiled and didn't speak, staring at Ai'er, Ai'er's eyes turned around, and when she looked at me again, she happened to meet me with a pair of murderous eyes, Ai'er was embarrassed to tell me "Oh, sir, you don't believe me."
I snorted twice, "You are learning to deceive people more and more now, but it's a pity that these twelve young people and Jun'er came too timely, and they have to make me suspicious of you."
Ai'er saw that he couldn't resist me, grinned, and said, "Since Mr. said so, then I just recruited it, yesterday I went to Miss Qingrui and asked her for some red threads, I saw that Mr. has blue eyes these days, I used to hear the old people in the village say when I was in my hometown, this situation is mostly scared, or often depressed, saying that it is a red thread rope tied to the pillar at the head of the bed to drive away evil spirits, I thought about going to find it for Mr. to exorcise evil spirits." Halfway to meet the twelve young, he asked about you, I said that you have not eaten and slept well these days, and your spirit is not good, the twelve young asked me if I encountered something unpleasant, I said that it was because I was worried about the academy, and the schoolchildren were gone one by one, and Mr. was not happy."
I glared and asked, "What about later?"
Ai'er said, "The twelve young people didn't say anything after hearing it, and left, who knew that he would send Jun'er early this morning, sir, I really didn't know that the twelve young people would do this, I knew that you had a holiday with the young lady, and you talked nonsense, all blame me."
I'm not angry, but if I think about it carefully, Ai'er is also unintentional, not to mention that I have received Jun'er, and the wood has been completed, and it is futile to say anything more at this time, just teach Xi Jun'er to read, read and paint in the future, and ignore everything else. Seeing that I didn't speak, Ai'er glanced at me. I pointed to the teapot on the table and chuckled, "I heard that the fresh jasmine flowers given by Mrs. Mu a few days ago are very good, make a pot to drink."
Ai'er answered, and entered the inner room with the teapot.
The past two days have always been very dull, everyone is holding a pu fan in their hands, standing at the door of the hall whirring fan, the pu fan is about to rot and can't relieve the heat in front of him. The sun was covered by thick clouds, and the sky was drowsy, flickering and bright, and occasionally a gust of wind blew and there was some coolness, and everyone ran to the courtyard, looking up at the sky one by one, wishing for a rain.
It's been like this for a few days, and just hearing the rumbling thunder is reluctant to let the rain fall. Just when everyone had given up and no longer hoped, the rain fell again with a thunderous momentum.
At that time, I was picking mushrooms in the back mountain, today is the birthday of the twelfth young lady Chu Lianwei, Ai'er got my promise to help, I was happy in the courtyard alone, after drinking a pot of tea, carrying a bamboo basket, shaking the pu fan and swaying up the back mountain.
I remember picking mushrooms in the woods with Yin Ziran when I was very young, Ziran told me that most of the places where there are woods have mushrooms, and today on a whim, I went into the woods to start looking for mushrooms.
The back mountain is overgrown with weeds, the leaves are luxuriant, only blame my eyes are too good, I saw a stretching mushroom from a distance, like a small umbrella, I am full of joy, the huge green forest allows me to shuttle freely in it, it will not take long to load half a bamboo basket, I think that if the mushrooms in the bamboo basket are used to make dishes tonight, it must be delicious and beautiful.
In order to fill the bamboo basket as soon as possible, after going back, you can also show off in front of Ai'er, while looking for mushrooms, while picking mushrooms, I don't know how long I walked, I saw that the sky was dark, and the sky above my head was full of black pressure. I was afraid that it would rain, so I hurriedly ran back, but no matter how I ran, I finally returned to the place where I first saw the mushroom forest, and I had been circling in the woods, and I saw the raindrops the size of beans sloping down from the sky, and in an instant, the raindrops formed a string of beaded curtains, which slapped densely on the ground and fell on every leaf.
I thought I was probably lost, standing in the woods, so anxious, I simply squatted down with my head in my hands and shrank under the big tree behind me. The rain obstructed my vision, I couldn't see clearly in front of me, and slowly the rain accumulated on the ground, and after a while, I only heard footsteps in the distance coming towards this side, and for a while I didn't care so much, I stood up and jumped on my feet and shouted at the top of my voice, "Is there anyone, is there anyone, take me out of this woods, I'm lost."
The figure got closer and closer, until the man walked up to me, and Eleven Shao looked at me in shock, "Mr. Su, it's raining so hard, why are you here."
I said, "I was idle and bored, so I thought that there might be mushrooms in the back mountain, and I came to pick mushrooms.
Eleven Shao complained, "Mr. Su is so Yaxing, don't you know that the hot weather, swallows flying low, and ants moving are all signs before the rain."
I smiled embarrassedly at Eleven Shao, but seeing that he was empty-handed, covered in rain, he hurriedly teased, "I forgot, it was just a whim, and I didn't care about bringing an umbrella before going out, if I knew it would rain, I wouldn't come out, Eleven Shao is a person who understands, knows that it's going to rain, but understands why people don't bring umbrellas, you see, there is no place on this body that is dry, the whole soup chicken, if you are seen by your subordinates, the Baifu Eleven Shao, who is a righteous warrior on weekdays, is so embarrassed by a rain, I don't know how to laugh at you behind my back."
Eleven Shao couldn't say a word when I squeezed him, his face was slightly stunned, and he lowered his head.
Eleven and I both shrank under the big tree, you look at me, I look at you, and then we both laugh again.
The sky was getting dark, but the rain had no intention of stopping, and it was still going on and on, and I looked up at the sky, and I was hungry. Eleven glanced at me and said slowly, "It seems that this rain will not stop for a while, and I estimate that it may fall until tomorrow morning."
I panicked and screamed, "How can that be."
Looking at Eleven Shao, Young Master Eleven looked at me, he glanced at me, and I smiled heartily. We rushed together into the pouring rain, Eleven covered the top of my head with his wide sleeves, and we ran wildly.
