Chapter 61

Meishan Academy has always encouraged students to be self-reliant, and maids are not allowed to enter the mountain gate for no reason. Shanniang didn't want to let the three and them waste their time waiting outside the mountain gate, so she asked them to watch and pick her up. But because it was a day of rest, she was sent to the lecture hall by Mrs. Lin to help, so when she came out of the lecture hall, it was much earlier than the agreed time.

Fortunately, she had just borrowed a Xiyi travelogue from Lin Ruzhi, so she sat in the grass pavilion on the hillside, reading the travelogue while waiting for someone from her family to pick her up.

This is a travelogue that describes the customs of Western countries. Shanniang was looking at it energetically, and suddenly heard someone not far away shouting "Changqing".

As soon as she looked up, she saw that under the hillside, Yuan Changqing was standing under the stone archway of the academy and looking at her.

Seeing her look up, he quickly turned his head, but he was a step too late, or made the eyes of the two meet for a moment.

If he could keep looking at Shanniang so generously, Shanniang would not have any superfluous thoughts, but he looked like a thief, so he couldn't help but make her wink. Shanniang tilted her head and thought about it, but after all, she couldn't figure out what he was doing, so she put down the book, stood up, and looked condescendingly at the stone archway.

It was Lin Ruting who stopped Yuan Changqing.

Lin Ruting didn't see Shanniang in the grass pavilion, so he hurriedly walked to Yuan Changqing's side and said to him, "I thought you were gone." I thought about it for a moment, and if we don't have a suitable excuse, it's easy to be surprised......"

"Senior brother!" Yuan Changqing suddenly raised his hand to stop Lin Ruting, glanced around hintively, and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I have also thought of the problem you said, and I have already thought of a countermeasure." It's just that if you can do it, you have to discuss it with your senior brother. ”

Lin Ruting realized that he was too anxious for a while, so he glanced around with a smile. So, he saw Shanniang in the grass pavilion.

"Thirteen girls," he hurriedly came over, bowed to Shanniang, and said, "Why is the girl here?" ”

Shanniang returned the salute and said with a smile: "I'm waiting for the family's car." ”

Lin Ruting said: "Aru hasn't left yet, why don't you ask her car to give you a ride?" ”

Shanniang shook her head and said, "I made an appointment with the family, but I came out a little early." He added, "Senior Lin and Senior Brother Yuan, just go and do your business, I'm fine here, and there are people next to me." ”

Shanniang and Lin Ruting exchanged two more words of greeting, and then separated.

And from beginning to end, Yuan Changqing was like a statue, standing silently behind Lin Ruting. The calm and waveless face is not so much calm as alienation - this is the Yuan scholar in Shanniang's memory!

It's just that when saying goodbye to each other, Yuan Changqing suddenly glanced at Shanniang again before turning around. Only then did Shanniang realize that the tails of his eyes had been slightly hooked inconspicuously. Even if there was not such a shallow groove on his chin, it was still a smile.

Shanniang was stunned. Once again, the young man in front of her, Yuan Changqing, subverted the image of a scholar who was almost deeply imprinted in her mind.

Until the carriage at home came to pick her up, and she was picked up by Sanhe, Shanniang's mind still flashed the two completely different Yuan Changqing from time to time. One is old and spicy, the other is immature and jerky; One is more intelligent and close to the demon, but the other is so stupid that she laughs so stupidly that she doesn't know where to put her hands and feet...... It's the same person, but it feels like two completely different people.

Thinking that he was embarrassed by her laughter, Shan Niang's lips couldn't help but put a smile on her lips - she didn't realize that it was from this time that she gradually stopped equating the young man Yuan Changqing in front of her with the person in her memory.

When she arrived home, she found that the big housekeeper, Uncle Gui, was waiting for her under the carriage himself.

"Am I going to be flattered?" Shanniang muttered quietly and helped Sanhe's men get out of the car.

Uncle Gui stepped forward to ask for peace, and after a few words of gossip, he suddenly squinted at the mouse eyes and smiled: "The girl's nurse is also back." ”

Although it was a day of rest, because Shanniang wanted to go to school to help, she granted the nurse's leave and let her go home. Uncle Gui suddenly nodded like this, and couldn't help but make Shanniang's heart move, and she looked up at Uncle Gui.

Uncle Gui seemed to say such a gossip on a whim, and then talked about other gossip in a blink of an eye.

Shanniang's eyebrows couldn't help but twist slightly.

sent Shanniang all the way to the West Corner Gate, and Uncle Gui rambled for a while, and then retreated respectfully.

Shanniang looked back at his back and asked Sanhe, "What was wrong with the nurse when she came back?" ”

Sanhe thought for a moment, "I don't see anything." And he said, "But when does my mother come home and be happy?" As he spoke, he sighed.

Li's mother is a child daughter-in-law, who has suffered a lot since she was a child, or later after she coincidentally entered the house to be a nurse for Shanniang, her mother-in-law and husband had to rely on her to earn money to support the family, so they gradually stopped abusing her. But just like that, her bastard husband still did it when he saw him, and the last time he almost did it in front of Shanniang.

Shanniang frowned and thought about her previous life for a while, she didn't know the age of the child, and she didn't know when the nurse's family mentioned the matter of the succession to the nurse, so it shouldn't be time yet......

But even Yuan Changqing can be different from the appearance in her memory, and the affairs of the nurse may not be the same as in her previous life. Shanniang shook her head uneasily, and was just about to raise her feet to rush back to Chun Shen Yuan, when she suddenly saw her brother running out of his yard recklessly, almost colliding with her head.

Hou Rui didn't expect to bump into Shanniang here, so he let out a "yo" sound, and as soon as he turned around, he retracted into his yard.

Only this wrong eye, Shanniang still saw one of his bruised eyes. So she hurried after her.

Hou Rui heard the footsteps behind him, hurriedly pulled out his feet and ran back to the house, and closed the door with a "bang", directly locking Shanniang out of the door.

Shanniang chased after her, patted the door and said, "It's useless for you to hide, I have seen it all." You're going to sneak out again, and you're still in a fight! ”

When Hou Rui heard this, he hurriedly opened the door, pulled Shanniang into the room, raised his finger to his lips and said, "Shhh, be quiet, do you want to make me be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall again?!" ”

Shanniang first glanced at him, then pulled him to sit on the chair, and then insisted on moving his face, looking at his blue eyes and saying, "You still know that you are afraid!" You're still grounded! It's just a matter of sneaking out, and even fighting with people. It's just a fight, and there is a disguise on the face. If I don't say it, do you think the old lady won't see it?! ”

"If you don't say it, the old lady won't see it." Hou Rui said stiffly. has grown so big, except for the nurse, no one has ever cared so much about Hou Rui. Hou Rui wanted to hide quite uncomfortably, but he couldn't avoid Shanniang's strength. She insisted on breaking his head, and while calling someone to fetch water and ointment, she carefully touched the wound and asked, "Is this it?" Where else did it hurt? ”

"That's it." Hou Rui sat awkwardly, and said, "It's okay, the nurse has already given me medicine, so I'm just careless...... Hiss! ”

Shanniang hurriedly retracted her hand, glared at him and said, "It turns out that you still know that it hurts!" I thought you didn't know. He took the handkerchief and plaster from the maid's hand, and while personally treating his wounds, he kept counting him, "You are sixteen, and you are not ten or six years old, what are you fooling around outside all day?!" If you are really good at martial arts, you should go seriously to learn what kind of military strategy, even if you join the army in the future, it is a way out. I think you just like to fight and cause trouble...... No, I should say that you just like to be held as the boss. But speaking of which, what kind of boss are you? When people on the street see you, they just think you're a gangster. And those brothers of yours, I think they are just deliberately deceiving you of eating and drinking, and deceiving you to be thugs for them. You don't even know it, and you're complacent thinking that you're really the boss. Your so-called brothers, maybe how they laughed at you behind your back......"

When Shanniang said this, she actually subconsciously thought of Yuan Changqing, who was the same age as Hou Rui. Sixteen-year-old Yuan Changqing, although he is far from being able to cultivate later, compared to his peers, he is still "someone else's child". Hou Rui compared with Yuan Changqing, it is simply not enough to watch.

She accidentally made an old mistake here, and taught Hou Rui as if she were her son, how could Hou Rui stand this, and his face had already changed. If it weren't for knowing that Shanniang cared about him, he would have been angry. But he doesn't squeak here, but Shanniang is getting more and more uncontrollable, and the more he talks, the more excessive. is that he is still a little moved in his heart, and he has long been blown away by her chatter at this time. Unable to bear it anymore, he suddenly stood up, grabbed Shanniang's shoulder unceremoniously, and pushed her out of the door directly, while saying angrily: "You don't have nonsense! Do you know that brother of mine again? Which eye saw that they lied to me to eat and drink?! The friendship between our brothers, how can a yellow-haired girl like you understand?! ”

He clasped back his hands on the two door panels, only poked his head out and said, "I'm just happy to be a gangster, what?!" Think I'm a shame on you? You've been pretending to be all human all day long, and I'm not ashamed of you, but you're in charge of me! ”

As he spoke, he slammed the door shut.

Looking at the two door panels in a daze, Shanniang blinked silently for a long time. It was only then that she realized that she had made the same mistakes from her previous life...... In her previous life, she was like this, always thinking that she was dedicated to the good of others, so she could not care about other people's feelings, and she could say whatever she wanted......

Hou Rui's nurse Huang's mother was not very good at talking, and when she saw Shanniang being pushed out by Hou Rui, she only rubbed her hands in a panic, and said: "Auntie, girl, don't be angry, our uncle is this temper, don't take it to heart, girl......"

Shanniang waved her hand, pushed Huang's mother aside, knocked on the door, and said to Hou Rui in the door: "Brother, don't be angry, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't say too much." My brother is right, I don't know your friends, I shouldn't have said that. Don't be angry, brother, sister apologizes to you. As he spoke, he curtsied to Hou Rui through the door.

Hou Rui did not walk away. Through the crack in the door, seeing that Shanniang really bowed her head to him, Hou Rui couldn't help but be surprised. Although their brother and sister didn't grow up together, they also knew each other's temperament, and he naturally knew that Shanniang's personality of not going up to the south wall and not looking back, when he heard her take the initiative to apologize, he couldn't help but open the door.

So, the brother and sister stood inside the door and the other outside the door, looking at each other in silence.

Shanniang showed a flattering smile at Hou Rui here, and was just about to apologize again, when she saw Hou Rui, she clasped her hands to her chest and said arrogantly: "Even if you want to persuade me, you should also pay attention to a way and method." Anyway, I'm your brother too! ”

Shanniang: "......"

At this moment, a cry like killing a pig suddenly sounded above the fifth room. After more than a month, she had never heard such a cry from Xiao Chubby Dun, and Shanniang was stunned before she reacted. The brother and sister looked at each other and rushed towards the chubby yard in a hurry.

Rushing into the courtyard, the little chubby dun was sitting in a chair, his mouth was full of blood, and he was holding a piece of bloodstained osmanthus cake in his hand. His nurse couldn't figure out why the little guy was crying, and was anxiously looking at his mouth with her chubby face.

Although the little chubby dun was crying, his eyes were not idle, and when he saw his favorite sister coming, he suddenly didn't want a nurse, jumped off the chair and threw himself at Shanniang.

Shanniang hurriedly hugged him and asked repeatedly, "What's wrong?" ”

At this time, the nurse already understood what was wrong, so she lowered her head and looked on the ground for a while, picked up a bloody tooth from the ground, and said with a smile: "The second master changed his teeth." ”

Holding the face of the little chubby dun, Shanniang and Hou Rui leaned over to take a look, no, they were missing a lower front tooth.

Hou Rui immediately laughed unceremoniously, pointed at Hou Jue and said, "You can cry so earth-shattering even if you lose your teeth, I still think you were bitten by a tiger!" ”

As he was talking, the fifth wife and the fifth master, who heard the movement, also came over. The fifth lady hurriedly pulled the little fat dun for a while to coax, and when the fifth master turned around, he just saw Hou Ruiqing's eyes, how could he not guess the reason, and immediately slapped the table, pointing at Hou Rui who was just about to get angry, suddenly thought of something, and quickly looked back at the fifth wife.

Mrs. Fifth was really startled by the sound, but she didn't shake her sleeves again.

The momentum of the fifth master was blocked by this, but it was not so prosperous. However, Hou Rui did not escape and was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Looking at the little son who was crying and crying without the appearance of a boy, and then looked at the eldest son who was about to become a street gangster, the fifth master couldn't help frowning, and was thinking about being a good daughter, when he suddenly heard the fifth wife ask Shanniang in a whisper: "Isn't it Xiu Mu today?" Why haven't I seen you for a day? ”

Shanniang smiled: "I went out with Ah Ru. ”

Suddenly, the fifth master's face was bluffed - he didn't worry about this daughter together, and he didn't go out without saying hello!

Shanniang and the others didn't know, but because of this incident, the fifth master finally remembered that he was also a father. So, Hou Jue and Hou Rui's hard days came, and the old man finally remembered the education problem of his two sons, and rectified these two bear children enough.

As for Shanniang...... As the saying goes, children avoid mothers and daughters, and daughters avoid fathers, and the daughter's upbringing should be the responsibility of the wife. The fifth wife has always felt that Shanniang is good everywhere, and there is no need to receive re-education, so Shanniang has not been affected. The only effect is probably that she can't sleep anymore......

The old man suddenly felt that their family was too self-serving. The old man felt that it was necessary to strengthen the emotional communication between parents and daughters, so he set up a new family rule: the whole family had to eat three meals a day in one place. No one is allowed to be absent.

*·*·*

Because there were a lot of things that happened on this day, when Shanniang returned to her own yard, she forgot about the nurse for a while. It wasn't until the evening when she was customary to take a bath that the nurse wiped her back, and she suddenly saw a bruise that had been twisted out under the sleeves of the nurse's rolled up.

It's just that no matter how she asked, the nurse only said that she accidentally hit it. Looking at Mother Li, Shanniang sighed: "Nurse, let's not be angry with that, let's leave, I will raise you for a lifetime." ”

Mother Li was startled, looked at her in a daze for a long time, suddenly smiled gently, stroked her face and said, "It's good that the girl has this heart." "I didn't want to mention the family affairs.
