Chapter 82: Huaixing Academy
Although Ning Shaobi said that Zhuo Zhaojie should not let people know that she was rescued by herself, but in the end, the You family cared about this grandchild', and in the afternoon, You Lin also took a few henchmen and hurried to Qujiazhuang to thank and visit.
When the uncle and nephew saw each other, they cried and appeased, You Lin saw that Zhuo Zhaojie had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, and he was very distressed, and said: "Don't worry about that, don't pass the son and General Su, just go back with your uncle, it's better to be settled outside than to go back." β
Zhuo Zhaojie spent the night, and Ning Shaobi calculated with each other, although she was still scared when she saw her uncle at this moment, she had calmed down, although she also wanted to see Ban as soon as possible - only by the side of the old man who raised her, she could feel real peace of mind, but she didn't want to burden the You family for herself, so she shook her head and said: "The prince has already told me the reason why I can't go back directly, it's rare that they are willing to help like this, they don't care that this life-saving feeling is hidden, how can they live up to it?" I'm fine now, that is, I'm taken a startle, and I don't worry about going back a few days later, and I ask my second uncle to tell my grandfather and grandmother, don't let Chang'an know about this matter, after all, it's so far away, it's futile to worry if you know there. β
You Lin has always been timid, in his heart, he is actually very much in favor of turning big things into small things and small things into nothing, but he loves his nephew 'daughter', and it is really difficult to decide when he weighs the two sides, so he hesitated: "This is ...... Not so good, right? After all, we didn't take good care of you because we didn't take care of you, and now we have to hide it from Chang'an...... It's better to go back and ask your grandfather and grandmother to make decisions about this matter, and you better go back first, right? β
"It was all an accident." Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but shed tears when he thought of the situation that day, "Who would have thought that the 'female' thief would break into Boya Zhai?" I've never had an accident before, where can I blame my uncle? My uncle and aunt usually love me very much. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, she whispered again, "Besides, the son of the world is young, and he is the same age as me...... Uncle should think about my reputation. β
In fact, the cool atmosphere is open, and it is common for men and women to swim with their arms, like this time, Zhuo Zhaojie was captured by thieves, and the escape by diving happened to be rescued by Ning Shaobi, and it was passed out, others would only sigh that she was not dead, and praised Ning Shaobi's act of saving people, unless she got up from the water and took the initiative to pounce into Ning Shaobi's scene to spread out, otherwise since there were no rumors between the two in the past, few people would discuss right and wrong.
No matter how honest You Lin is, he can hear that Zhuo Zhaojie is thinking about the You family, so as not to save the gap between the You family and the Minping Hou Mansion, after all, You Ji may be able to understand her mother's family, but the Shen family, the step-wife of the Minping Hou, may not fall into the ground, you must know that when the Zhuo family planned to foster Zhuo Zhaojie, the Shen family said that it was raised in Gyeonggi to find a family, and You Ji was not at ease with her, so she sent the young 'girl' to her mother's house, if something happened to the You family, even if Zhuo Zhaojie was safe, then could the Shen family not use the topic to play? What's more, he also got involved with Marquis Yongcheng, Marquis of Minping's political enemy!
It's just that You Lin is timid and small, he is not a blindly 'selfish' person, his nephew 'daughter' is so sensible, but it made him firm in his determination, and said categorically: "These naturally have elders to make decisions for you, don't worry about it, I'll go and ask the 'girl' outside to come in and help you change your clothes, you get up quickly, let's go back!" β
"......" Zhuo Zhaojie saw that he was resolute, so he had to resort to his trump card, "The second uncle doesn't think about others, but also thinks about my mother, she insisted on sending me to Moling, it is said that my step-grandmother did not agree, now I have nothing to do, I know over there, my father, mother, brother and sister will naturally be worried, maybe my mother will be complained by my step-grandmother because of this, there is no one here, I said to the second uncle 'private', although the step-grandmother is my elder, but I listen, in the end, my father was not born to her, my own grandmother...... The second uncle must know these things better than me, this time I have already caused you to 'worry', and I have to cause my mother to be unable to raise her head in front of my step-grandmother, this ......"
These words completely moved You Lin - among the four brothers of the You family, he and You Ji have the best relationship, and they love this sister-in-law the most, thinking that You Ji will be wronged in her husband's family, and the dispute between the sons of the Minping Marquis Mansion that is almost on the table...... And Zhuo Zhaojie really had nothing to do except be frightened, he changed his mind and no longer mentioned the matter of taking Zhuo Zhaojie back immediately, just kind words to comfort, thought about it and couldn't help but say: "It is said that you were raised by your grandmother, and everything has always been measured, but my uncle also wants to remind you that this step-grandmother, although not your father's biological mother, is always your serious elder, you can't have resentment or self-speculation about your elders, and you can't say that like that in the future, you know?" β
"Second uncle, don't worry, I'll just talk to my uncle." Zhuo Zhaojie said with a smile, "So-called, seeing my uncle is like seeing my mother, I have been frightened for a few days, and I can't say a few words in my heart when I see my uncle?" β
"That being said, since ancient times, filial piety has been the first of all kinds." You Lin said solemnly, "When you go back to your own home, you should also listen to your mother's words, honor your elders, and don't let your parents 'worry' about you." β
Zhuo Zhaojie grinned and said, "I have always been obedient. β
Seeing that You Lin couldn't think of anything new to say, Zhuo Zhaojie asked about his new cousin: "I heard that my eldest cousin-in-law gave birth, and she is still a sturdy little Langjun?" β
Mentioning this topic, You Lin's expression also eased, and he said with a smile: "Yes, your grandfather has already given a name, called You Zhao, and his 'milk' name is Fenglang, and the child was born with a silhouette that looks very similar to your grandfather's ......" As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and added, "Your grandmother is also very happy." β
Zhuo Zhaojie was keenly aware of what he seemed to be hiding: "Second uncle, how are you doing at home these days?" β
"Naturally, it's very good." You Lin smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I really want to thank General Su, it was already evening when you met him, he took the token of the prince and called the opening of the city 'gate' to enter the city to report the letter, and got this news, plus your eldest cousin's mother and son are safe, our family is very happy." β
Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't hear any flaws, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I have worked hard for my second uncle today." β
"What's so hard about this? How many steps is this Qujiazhuang from Moling? You Lin said, "Your kid just said that seeing your uncle is like seeing your mother, but now you're polite." β
"That's right, that's right!" Zhuo Zhaojie suddenly remembered Xie Yingmai, "Then how is Sister Xie now?" β
You Lin's face sank suddenly: "That 'female' son and the thief are brothers and sisters in the same 'door', so it has affected you, and now the 'female' thief has not been found, I don't know if she is an accomplice or mastermind in the Jiuzhu case, she was temporarily locked up by our family." β
Zhuo Zhaojie was taken aback: "Won't it?" She killed that thief! β
"Hey!" You Lin said coldly, "You are young and don't know the sinister nature of people's hearts, those two thieves have just arrived in Moling, why did they immediately know about the wine beads and make a move?" Maybe it was Xie Yingmai's mastermind, and it was common for thieves to have infighting after they succeeded. β
"But I heard with my own ears that it was those two thieves who stole the wine beads and wanted to force Sister Xie to help them!" Zhuo Zhaojie's 'confused' and 'confused' way, "How can it be infighting? β
You Lin didn't want her to worry too much about this, so he said perfunctorily: "Is that so?" Then go back and tell your grandfather, let your grandfather call the shots. β
Looking at the sky, he didn't plan to spend the night in Qujiazhuang, he was going back before the city gate was closed, so he saw that Chenguang was almost there, so he stood up.
Zhuo Zhaojie wanted to send him, but was resolutely stopped by You Lin, let her recuperate, and told her again, promising to arrange a suitable reason to take her back as soon as possible, and then went to Ning Shaobi and Su Shina with a heavy heart to say goodbye.
Not long after You Lin left, the bead curtain moved, but Ning Shaobi personally brought in a plate of candied fruit, and said, "This is what your uncle forgot to give you when he said goodbye, saying that you like to eat the plums in it the most." β
Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly said: "I'm tired of the prince, why do you want the prince to send it in person?" β
I saw Ning Shaobi put the silver plate with candied fruit on the small table next to her couch, and said seriously: "The You family gave this son another thank you gift, and there is no candied fruit in it." β
...... "I know what you mean!" No wonder you will personally send it over - in the face of a life-saver, what is a plate of preserves? Zhuo Zhaojie said generously, "If the prince doesn't dislike it, why don't you taste it together?" β
Ning Shaobi didn't need her to say it a second time, she immediately rolled up her sleeves, aimed at the so-called Zhuo Zhaojie's favorite plum that he was staring at all the way, and put one into her mouth with a smile, and the next moment - his face changed greatly, he spit it out, and quickly threw himself on the table with the teapot, and didn't use the teacup to pick up the teapot directly, and drank a full half pot of tea, then he turned his head with palpitations and asked in disbelief: "This is your favorite candied fruit?" β
β¦β¦ Zhuo Zhaojie apologized: "I forgot to tell you, I have loved to eat sour things since I was a child, and even fruits don't like too sweet." β
Therefore, the plums that Zhuo Zhaojie loves to eat and the Bai family specially made for her are difficult to put in the mouth of ordinary pregnant women......
It's not just any sour......
Looking at Ning Shaobi's angry eyes, Zhuo Zhaojie decided to make amends: "Why don't you try this apricot?" This one is sweet. β
"If it's not sweet, this son will throw away all your plums!" Ning Shaobi glared at her for a moment before she said angrily.
"Absolutely sweet!" Zhuo Zhaojie nodded affirmatively.
Ning Shaobi carefully took the smallest piece of dried apricot, and after entering it, she tasted it carefully, and then said: "This looks like a candied fruit, well, this Shizi seems to have eaten it?" β
Zhuo Zhaojie said: "This is the best candied fruit in Moling, maybe it is the best in Jiangnan, there is no sale outside, the prince must have tasted it after arriving in Moling, right?" β
"That's right." Ning Shaobi ate half of the dried apricots in one go, and then said unsatisfied, "No wonder the name of that academy is Huaixing." β
".................." Zhuo Zhaojie smiled reluctantly, "This, everyone in Moling knows, the name of Huaixing Academy, is nostalgic for the 'spring' autumn when Confucius lectured in Xingtan, there is no class, and he admires the sages, so it is named." β
Ning Shaobi was silent for a moment, and looked at the dried apricots in her hand: "Doesn't it mean that their dried apricots are particularly delicious?" β
"This, although the academy is built in an apricot forest, the academy does not make preserves." Zhuo Zhaojie pondered the wording, "Candied fruit...... It was made by the Bai family, and the second son of their big house, Bai Zijing, that is, the fiancΓ© of my third cousin, studied in the academy, so there was candied fruit in the bundle, and when the prince went to the academy, they naturally had to take it out to entertain them......"
ββ¦β¦ I thought that this dried apricot was given to You Lao Hanlin by Cui Zihe after the students made it. β
