Chapter 102: Affection
The snow was frozen hard and hard like sand under your feet, and as soon as you stepped down, the snow covered your feet, and it was very hard to walk. Shen Jun caught up from behind, side by side with Wen Jin, and looked at her side face: "I haven't seen the scenery here in winter, since I came out today, I have to enjoy it." ”
"Oh, yes." Wen Jin thinks that the fine snow and red plum in the snow in the south are suitable for those who are crepe people to appreciate, and the north is frozen for thousands of miles and the snow drifts, although it is not as delicate as the scenery in the south, but it is rugged and majestic, and has its own unique style.
The two walked silently, although the road was not far, but this kind of snow that was one foot deep and one foot shallow was very tiring, Wen Jin was so hot that the tip of her nose was sweating, she first untied the scarf around her neck, and after a while, she took off the hood on her head.
As soon as Qian Jun stretched out his hand, he put his hat back on Wen Jin's head: "Let's rest for a while when it's hot, the mountain wind is so hard, aren't you looking for a cold." ”
"It's coming soon." Wen Jin smiled embarrassedly.
"Then there's more time to rest." Shen Jun finally found the topic, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, "It's not to go to the army to respond, if you are a minute and a half late, you will have to hit the ground, what are you anxious about." ”
"Huh!" Wen Jin smiled a little uncomfortably, she always felt that there was a flame burning in Shen Jun's eyes, which made her very uncomfortable, so she hurried desperately.
As soon as his mind was relieved, Wen Jin suddenly slipped under his feet, but fortunately, Shen Jun was quick and grabbed his arm, so that he didn't kiss the earth in embarrassment.
"Walk slowly, be careful!" Through the thick cotton clothes, Wen Jin could still feel Shen Jun's hands being hot, she broke free a little uncomfortably, Shen Jun waited for her to stand firm, and then opened easily, seeing the blush on Wen Jin's face, Shen Jun's heart beat wildly. Wen Jin's shyness and slight refusal, in his opinion, is too cute, he has seen too many girls, not to mention that he took the initiative to help, he hid, those girls can pretend to fall and throw themselves into his arms.
In order to divert the embarrassment, Wen Jin pointed to the side of the road: "Look at this tree, the ice sculpture is general, how beautiful." ”
There were several heavy snowfalls in the wax moon, layer by layer accumulated on the trunk, part of it melted and flowed down, and was frozen into a crystal ice skate, the whole trunk, the top is white snow like jade, but the lower part is a crystal-like ice edge, at this moment, the sunlight suddenly broke through the layers of fog, directly shining down, the whole tree suddenly refracted a brilliant light, Wen Jin was dizzy for a while, stunned. The two of them stood side by side, feeling the unfathomable and wonderful nature of nature, and for a moment the four fields were silent, only hearing two hearts pounding.
Shen Jun looked at Wen Jin's side face, his dark eyes were full of admiration and emotion, and even the whole person seemed transparent, smart, and extraordinary.
How could such a woman be an ordinary mountain girl who had only been studying for two years?
Shen Jun didn't expect that he would find a shining peerless treasure in this mountain and countryside, she was shining brightly in this lonely corner, but it was quietly unknown.
Did God arrange to wait for me here? This thought together, he can no longer pretend to be a wild beat in his heart, although before, he heard Wen Han talk about Wen Jin, his heart was very curious, but also had the intention of befriending, in the first meeting, he found that Wen Jin is a girl, he had a strong curiosity, he is a person who likes to explore, in the following days, looking for an opportunity to meet Wen Jin with Wen Han, every time, he has a new discovery, every time, make himself more curious, unconsciously, he has fallen deeply into it and does not know it, just now thought, Let him suddenly understand his own mind.
In order to resist the marriage arranged for him by his stepmother, he disdained those nobles in the capital, and also closed his heart.
Wen Jin didn't have to lower his head and close his eyes to rest until his eyes were sour. The sixth sense made her feel Shen Jun's blazing gaze, and she was shocked in her heart, and she broke the silence uncomfortably: "This nature is really wonderful, not only giving humans a wonderful scenery that cannot be described in words, but also countless rare birds and beasts, exotic flowers and plants, and even ordinary bamboo shoots in the mountains can also make people's teeth and cheeks linger, which is really wonderful." ”
"Well, really, I didn't even pay attention to it before!" Shen Jun smiled and continued to look at Wen Jin, but he controlled his emotions and calmed down.
Wen Jin had nothing to say, so he had to walk silently up the mountain.
Shen Jun followed behind her, with thousands of thoughts in his heart, one doubt after another in his mind: Why did Wen Jin dress up as a man? Are you hiding from someone, or are you being forced? Why didn't her uncles, aunts, and cousins, who treated her as her own, know this secret? Did the strange thoughts in her head come up with by herself, or was someone taught? The news I got from Wen Han that Qian Wenjin is definitely a lonely mountain woman, and there is no expert behind her, but ......
After walking silently on the gentle hillside and starting to climb a slightly steep mountain road, Shen Jun naturally reached out to help Wen Jin, looking afraid that she would slip, Wen Jin didn't care about avoiding suspicion, cautiously looked at his feet, and walked to the bamboo forest step by step.
Wen Jin first used a hoe to dig bamboo shoots, Shen Jun watched from the side, and soon saw Wen Jin's trick to find bamboo shoots: "I'll come!" ”
Wen Jin didn't say anything, handed over the hoe, and the two took turns and dug for an hour, and the small rattan basket in Wen Jin's hand was already full.
"Alright, alright, let's go back, hee-hee." The tacit cooperation and fruitful harvest made Wen Jin forget her feelings for a while, she smiled happily and urged Shen Jun to return.
Shen Jun saw Wen Jin's innocent smile, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but stare at it again, Wen Jin realized that he was a little out of shape, and quickly lowered his head.
"What are you laughing at?" Shen Jun quickly controlled his emotions, and his voice was very calm.
Wen Jin heard his mellow and peaceful voice, and his heart calmed down: "It's still you who have energy, if you were me, you wouldn't be able to dig so much." ”
Shen Jun suddenly remembered the poem "Who knows that Chinese food is hard work", and couldn't help but feel distressed, he held a hoe in one hand and Wen Jin in the other, and the two walked down the mountain road.
"Whatever you want to eat, just pay someone to help pick it, and don't come to such a dangerous place in the future."
Wen Jin's heart was hot. The second uncle's family cares for her a lot, but like Shen Jun, there are only a few times when he can deeply touch her heart.
Wen Jin forced the excitement: "I'll be careful." ”
Shen Jun was very dissatisfied with this answer: "What do you tell you to be careful?" Still up for an adventure? The tone was unexpectedly serious.
Wen Jin couldn't tell why, but she felt that this seriousness was full of love, and she couldn't help nodding obediently: "I didn't expect the road to be so slippery, and I won't do it again in the future." ”
"That's good!" Shen Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, plus the sun is shining, the snow is a little civilized, and the road is even more slippery and difficult to walk.
"Thanks to you today, thank you!" Wen Jin said sincerely.
Shen Jun frowned unhappily: "Are you so polite to me?" Isn't it because I've eaten so much of your food that I should keep saying thank you as soon as we meet? ”
Wen Jin glanced at Shen Jun in surprise, how could he change his face faster than flipping through a book?
Shen Jun immediately felt Wen Jin's emotions, and he said in a low voice: "I have few friends, and my relatives are not around, I treat you and Wen Han as brothers and sisters, but you are so angry with me!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but bow his head a little sadly.
Wen Jin couldn't bear it in his heart, and touched his arm with the back of his hand: "Don't be angry, I thank you, it's to express my gratitude in my heart, is it like a cold-blooded animal, indifferent to your kindness, you are happy?" ”
"Really? Didn't you treat me as an outsider and say something kind to me? ”
"......" Wen Jin didn't know what to say, but it could be seen that Shen Jun was still looking eagerly at it, so he could only nod.
Shen Jun hooked the corners of her mouth with satisfaction, the smile like the sun could almost shake Hua Wenjin's eyes, she quickly lowered her head: "What do you want to eat today?" ”
"I love whatever you do."
Saying this, Wen Jin couldn't raise her head even more, and on the way back to the village, she was relatively speechless, Wen Jin lowered her head, and Shen Jun looked at her.
Finally turned the corner, Wen Han, who was looking at the door, saw it and raised his arm to beckon.
"I'll go first." Shen Jun whispered apologetically to Wen Jin.
"Hmm!"
Wen Han walked over quickly and took the hoe in Shen Jun's hand: "You two pick so many bamboo shoots?" Hard work, this winter bamboo shoot is not easy to pick. ”
"For me Shen Jun, how difficult is it." Shen Jun put on an arrogant look of underbeating.
"Just blow it." Wen Han originally wanted to pat Shen Jun's head, but when he saw the dirt on his body, he changed it to help Shen Jun pat the soil on his body.
Back home, Wen Han saw Wen Jin's tired face, and said distressedly: "Don't go so hard, it's not that you don't have food, look at you tired." ”
"It's okay brother."
"Come into the house and rest, the pomegranate has boiled hot water, go and soak your feet."
"Hey!" Wen Jin nodded and obediently entered the house.
Shen Jun stared at Wen Han's back unhappily, and resented in his heart: "You are a good person!" Turning around, he laughed self-deprecatingly again, that kind of words, in front of everyone's eyes, he didn't dare to say it, fortunately Wen Han helped him, otherwise, Wen Jin would definitely go to the kitchen to get busy, where does she know how to protect herself?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel distressed again, Shen Jun had always felt that he was very miserable, but seeing that Qian Wenjin, a little woman, had to endure so much, it was more difficult than herself, and she felt even more pity in her heart.
The pomegranate quickly heated the water and brought a wooden basin into the west wing, while Wen Han took out the wooden basin in his house, poured the remaining water, and called Shen Jun while walking into the house: "You also quickly soak your feet, see that the boots are covered with muddy water." ”
"I'm not cold, really!" Shen Jun's voice almost choked, and he felt that this small farmhouse was a hundred times warmer than his splendid and majestic palace.
Wen Jin washed her feet, changed her shoes, and ran to the kitchen to help, so that Pomegranate and Webster were sent out, she was moved, returned to the room with a smile, and rested on the hot kang while lying on the head.
Webster had already cooked the steamed buns, as well as the strips of meat and small crispy meat she made on another stove, and blanched the dried wild vegetables soaked in water.
Pomegranate fried a fat sausage, made an eggplant pot, pork belly soup, and started the meal.
Wen Jin was really tired, she took a nap after dinner, and suddenly felt refreshed, and walked into the yard, still sighing in her mouth: "A good sleep is indispensable, and a nap is also a unique flavor...... "She unconsciously carried Zhu Ziqing's lotus pond moonlight.
Shen Jun was standing in the courtyard, Wen Jin's words were so true, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart that Wen Jin had another chance, a person who had only read for two years, could say such a thing? 's opinion of Wen Jin has risen to a higher level, and he feels that those high-ranking ladies may not have Wen Jin's talent, let alone Wen Jin's kindness and intelligence.
Wen Han didn't take a nap, he was dizzy when he was reading a book at this time, and he just walked out of the door, he wore a poplin robe with a round neck and azure color today, and a snakeskin belt made by Wen Jin was tied around his waist.
Wen Jin looked at his radiant cousin as if he had discovered a new world: "Ouch, brother, I didn't expect this belt and clothes to match so well, it's so good-looking." ”
"Of course it's okay, Shen Jun said, such a belt, when you arrive in the capital, you don't have twenty or thirty taels of silver, don't think you can buy it."
Wen Jin's heart moved, and he immediately calculated, although this kind of brightly colored snake skin is very rare, but there is a kind of green flower snake is very common, and if the color design is well matched, it is also beautiful. Is it possible to make this an industry?
"What do you think?" Seeing Wen Jin pondering, Shen Jun couldn't help but be curious and asked.
Thinking that he couldn't let the second uncle and his wife know, Wen Jin smiled and didn't say anything, thinking about going to Shiwei Village and planning a good plan.
Shen Jun hated to open Wen Jin's little head to see what she was pondering, he only hated that he couldn't reach out to smooth the slightly frowning eyebrows, thinking of this little face with a bright smile, so that the flowers can lose their beauty, Shen Jun felt distressed.
Wen Han asked Shen Jun in a scenic manner: "Brother Shen, do you think that 'a scholar can't do without Hongyi, there is a long way to go.'" Benevolence is its own responsibility, isn't it also important? Death is gone, isn't it far away? Is the 'benevolence' in this sentence the same as the 'human love' mentioned by Confucius? The sage said, 'How can you repay virtue with virtue?' Isn't it not benevolent enough to repay virtue with virtue and grievances with straightforwardness? ”
"I think that benevolence and righteousness should be applied to the righteous and righteous, and to be benevolent to the wicked is to help them do evil, which is not benevolence, but harmful...... "The two of them said as they entered the room.
Qian Xiancheng was very relieved to hear that the two children were obsessed with academics, and praised him in front of his wife: "Our Han'er is a good person, and the friends he has made are all outstanding, and this Shen Gongzi is also very knowledgeable." ”
Webster was sewing clothes in front of the light of the window, and when he heard this, he looked up at the man and smiled with satisfaction.
Wen Jin took the pomegranate, peeled and cleaned the bamboo shoots dug up, and let the pomegranate block it, the little girl grew so big, and she had never been through people, she could be so harmonious and care for each other, these days, she was like she was full of energy and had nowhere to go, scrambling to work.
Wen Jin was also full of business experience, especially the inability to broaden the business route, which made her worried, so she simply let go of her hand and sat in the sun by herself, looking like basking in the sun, but in fact she was contemplating.
Shen Jun saw it through the window, he felt very uncomfortable, and when he saw Wen Han practicing calligraphy, he quietly walked out: "Wen Jin, do you want me to help with anything?" ”
Wen Jin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, it's nothing." She forced a smile and made an excuse to sneak into the room.
In the next two days, Wen Jin deliberately avoided Shen Jun, and she felt his appreciation, heartbeat, and love from Shen Jun's enthusiastic gaze, which not only made her heart alarmed.
As she grew older day by day, Wen Jin also considered her marriage and was ready to stay with an ordinary farmer for the rest of her life, but unfortunately there was no man around her who made her heart, and finally a Shen Jun appeared, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a wealthy family, with an identity gap that she could not climb.
Marriage is not only a matter of two people, but also includes the family behind the two people, even if political and economic reasons are put aside, two people with too different identities and statuses form a family, in which the living habits and ways of thinking are bound to be very different, which is difficult to reconcile. She understands that many women, when they see a handsome and rich man, can't swallow it immediately, regardless of whether they can digest it or not. In the previous life, everyone was equal, and Cinderella had a hard time marrying into a wealthy family, let alone this era.
Wen Jin asked herself that in this world, there is no direct blood relative who really loves her, the second uncle and the second aunt are very respectful of the rules and face, then she must manage her own life well, it should not be her own, she must be firm in her mind, and she must not stretch out her hand, otherwise, she will not know how to die when the time comes.
She just wants to live a comfortable life, she doesn't want to look at the faces of her mother-in-law and men all day long, tragedies are often caused by greed, Wen Jin warned herself, never think that she doesn't deserve it.
After living for two lives, Wen Jin has heard a lot of stories about her humble life, which is nothing more than a bit of beauty, a woman who doesn't want to be poor and doesn't want to endure hardship, entrusts her life to a rich man, and swallows her breath with her knees, but in the end she can't escape the tragic ending, Wen Jin feels that this is what they asked for, no matter what they look like, people should be self-reliant, especially women.
Wen Jin is not afraid of being poor, he has ideas and drive, why don't he straighten up his waist and live as much as he wants, why do he send himself to the deep mansion compound to be tortured?
Wen Jin also once expected Shen Jun to be just a broken child as Shen Ping said, but this time, Shen Jun casually took out a gift that Wen Jin had never seen or heard of in this life, which illustrated the problem, Shen Jun, even if it was broken, was definitely the kind that a skinny camel was bigger than a horse.
Although Shen Jun is just a young master, if he wasn't the right person back then, would the Shen family be able to take a fancy to him?
Wen Han said that the old lady of the Shen family once served as the first assistant, that is, when the old man was there more than ten years ago, the Shen family was the leader of Wenchen.
Where can Shen Jun's home be?
Although Shen Ping is a concubine, after all, he is the grandson of Shoufu, and that tutoring and edification will never be something that ordinary people can have, but he does not have the kind of atmosphere that Shen Jun has, that kind of otherworldly nobility, Wen Jin thinks that it is a long-term accumulation, and it can almost be said that what has been cultivated since birth, Shen Ping, as the son of a concubine, still lacks the conditions for formation.
These are enough to show that Wen Jin's judgment is correct. Shen Jun felt Wen Jin's evasion, but it was a pity that he and Wen Jin met, only at the dinner table, in full view of everyone, what could he say? What do you dare to say? Just when Shen Jun scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks and didn't know how to break the deadlock, the Qian family came to have a guest.
...
