Chapter 36 Lin Daiyu hangs the curtain and listens to politics
"Chu Langjun~"
In the morning, as soon as Chu Zhen came back with a few bags of things, he saw a little lady Li of the Song Dynasty wearing a light cyan skirt and a slender figure appear in front of him.
After being stunned for a moment, Little Lady Li smiled at him and gave him a shallow salute.
The etiquette is tactful and ladylike.
Who said that Li Yi'an is a drunkard and gambler? She is the daughter of an official eunuch!
"Coming? Sit! ”
Chu Zhen smiled and pointed to the sofa on the left, very crisp.
Li Qingzhao followed his fingers and found that there was an extra set of tables and chairs in the room, divided into left and right sides, and the right side should be for her and Sister Lin.
"The slave family can sit, but Sister Lin refuses."
"Don't worry, I've bought something and come back."
Chu Zhen put the bag down, Li Qing took a look, and found that Chu Langjun had bought a lot of fruits, and he would share them with them later.
This made her a little embarrassed, and she brought a few articles with her this time, plus a box of Bianjing snacks.
Li Qing looked at Chu Zhen's back, pursed his lips, looked left and right, and suddenly asked:
"Chu Langjun, ...... is your lady?"
"Aren't you?" Chu Zhen, who was packing up his things, said casually.
"Huh?"
Li Qingzhao's beautiful face turned red, he was so frightened that he fell backwards again and again, his head hit the bookshelf, and he hurriedly covered the back of his head with his hands, and his eyes were wide with shame:
"Chu, Chu Langjun, your words... It's rude! ”
“?”
Chu Zhen turned his head to look at her, "What did you just ask?" Little lady or my lady? ”
Li Qingzhao covered half of his blushing face with wide cuffs, turned his head sideways, and said in disgust: "What the slave just asked was, why didn't you see Chu Langjun!" Mother! Child! ”
It's not her little lady!
"My lady? Sorry, I misheard. ”
Chu Zhen smiled: "We don't usually say the word lady, but when I heard the lady, I mistakenly thought it was about you." ”
Li Qingzhao struggled for a long time and believed his words.
Just now, she did speak in a quieter voice, and she didn't ask simply.
"I'm not married, my parents have passed away, and I'm the only one in the family."
Chu Zhen answered her and smiled again: "Why did you suddenly ask this question?" ”
In ancient times, women paid attention to the words of their parents and concubines, and this kind of privacy question was impossible to ask, so Chu Zhen did not suspect that Li Qingzhao liked him, but suspected that she had something.
Li Qingzhao blushed and said, "Yes, I took the fruit given by Chu Langjun home the day before yesterday and gave it to my father, mother and younger brother to eat, they asked. ”
Actually, she lied.
When she gave fruit to her parents and brother, her father and mother were surprised and asked her where it came from.
Li Qingzhao replied that it was a master from outside the world who sent her.
Her mother, Wang, seemed to see something, and asked whether the world's masters were male or female, and how old they were.
Only then did Li Qingzhao realize that he didn't know anything about Chu Langjun.
And because Chu Langjun said that there were no taboos here, she asked him politely, where was the lady in the family.
"Chu Langjun is not married yet?"
Li Qingzhao's eyes were surprised.
"I just graduated from college this year, and I didn't finish my thesis defense."
Chu Zhen continued to sort out a few bags of things, "It is a common situation for us to get married at the age of thirty, especially in the city, a large number of people who are unmarried at the age of thirty-five. ”
"Ah...... I got married so late. ”
Li Qingzhao let out a long sigh, without using her fingers, she was sixteen years old, and she was still fourteen years away from Chu Langjun's marriage age......
And the thirty-year-old woman was already old in the Song Dynasty, and some even had grandchildren.
"Is the university too learning? Or Guozijian? ”
"What's the difference between Taixue and Guozijian?"
"The students of Taixue are the children of eight-grade officials, or those who excel in the township examination. Guozijian is under the jurisdiction of Guozixue, which is the children of officials above the seventh grade in Bianjing City. ”
"Girls can't be enrolled?"
"Of course."
"We can do it."
Chu Zhen smiled at her, "We started studying at the age of seven, graduated from elementary school for six years, graduated from junior high school for another three years, then went to high school, and then went to university, and after graduating from college, we have a diploma and can go to find a job." From elementary school to university, men and women share a classroom. ”
"Men and women are enrolled in the hall?"
Li Qingzhao was very surprised, walked a few steps towards Chu Zhen, and was about to ask more, when suddenly there was a bloated girl beside her, holding two gift boxes in both hands, her figure was swaying, and she looked very struggling.
"What did Sister Lin bring? Let's put it down! ”
Chu Zhen recognized Sister Lin, who was much "fatter", at a glance, and asked her to quickly put down the two big gift boxes in her hand.
"Uncle Chu is fine~, Sister Qingzhao is fine~"
Lin Daiyu smiled at the two, put the gift box on the ground, and clapped her little hands, looking so tired.
Li Qingzhao collected several of his articles.
She's so shabby!
Sister Billing's two gift boxes are much worse than the New Year's goods.
Why do you say it's a New Year's gift?
Because Sister Lin wore a red and festive cotton jacket, her little face was wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, as cute as a porcelain doll in a New Year's painting.
"Are you going to celebrate the New Year?"
Chu Zhen also saw that Lin Daiyu was dressed in a festive manner, like a little cutie wrapped in a quilt, where was there still the appearance of crying Sister Lin?
"It's nearly the end of the year."
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "I was watching my mother instruct the maids and wives to clean the house, and suddenly I heard Uncle Chu's voice in my heart, so I hurriedly told my mother, and my mother asked me to go back to the house, take the prepared gifts, and give them to Uncle Chu as a thank you gift~." ”
"It's so hot......"
After Lin Daiyu, who was wearing a cotton jacket, came here, she felt her body heat up after saying a few words, glanced at the weather outside the window, stretched out her hand and was about to take off the cotton jacket, but stopped again.
Someone will come later.
Seeing her hesitate, Chu Zhen guessed, turned around and took out something from the bag and hung it between the bookshelf and the window.
It's a beaded curtain.
The sofas on the left and right sides are blocked, so that they can't see each other clearly.
"No wonder it's called hanging the curtain and listening to politics!"
Chu Zhen laughed and said to them: "Now you can sit and 'listen to politics' with confidence, right?" ”
Li Qingzhao covered his mouth and smiled.
Lin Daiyu turned her back: "Uncle Chu is comparing me to the queen mother in the palace?" If you bother me, I'll leave my things and leave! ”
Chu Zhen couldn't help but be stunned, Lin Daiyu had always been cautious before, and his words were respectful and polite, and he even thought that Lin Daiyu was not the same as Sister Lin in the Dream of Red Mansions.
But now it seems that Sister Lin is still the same Sister Lin.
He couldn't even figure out what made Sister Lin angry for a while.
Lin Daiyu turned her back and didn't look at him.
Nor did he untie the thick padded jacket on his body.
Stand there sulking.
Chu Zhen and Li Qingzhao looked at each other, and neither of them could guess Sister Lin's thoughts.
"That's it, I'm tired of it, I'd better go back."
Lin Daiyu bowed her head and saluted Chu Zhen, then walked up the stairs, and when she looked back at him, her eyes that seemed to be happy and unhappy were clearly filled with tears.
"Wait, don't go yet!"
Chu Zhen took her hand, Sister Lin's little hand was soft and silky, and it was held in his hand, even if Chu Zhen felt a little inexplicable about what she said just now, it was gone at the moment.
This is Sister Lin's jade hand.
"Even if I do something wrong, Sister Lin, you have to say it, don't you?" Chu Zhen coaxed her and said, "If you don't say it, where do I have a seven-trick exquisite heart like Sister Lin?" ”
Li Qing glanced at the hands held by the two.
“…… You compare me to the Queen Mother! ”
was held by him, Lin Daiyu's attitude softened, lowered her head, tears welled up, and said: "You also bought a curtain to hang it, and said that I could sit and listen to politics at ease, but didn't you just dislike me for being troublesome and couldn't meet those two men?" ”
used those two men to refer to Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang, and Lin Daiyu could say it in the world.
Chu Zhen finally straightened out Sister Lin's logic.
First of all, it is not a good word for the Queen Mother to listen to the government, and he compares Li Qingzhao and her to the Queen Mother, which is to mock them.
Secondly, Li Qingzhao can see outsiders, but she can't, so Chu Zhen bought the bead curtain and hung it just for her.
"Sister Lin, you misunderstood me!"
Chu Zhen simply pulled Lin Daiyu back, let her sit on the sofa on the left, looked at Li Qingzhao and said, "I just don't want you to sit in the corner, what's the trouble of buying a bead curtain?" How can you be troublesome Sister Lin? ”
Li Qingzhao said with a smile: "Uncle Chu hurts Sister Lin, and he won't be troublesome~." ”
Lin Daiyu blushed and said shyly: "My sister is making fun of me again!" ”
She sat obediently and stopped getting angry.
Chu Zhen's hand was still on her shoulder, and when he saw a faint fine sweat on her forehead at close range, he used his fingers to cross her smooth and beautiful forehead, and twisted his fingers, and it was sweat.
"Go and take off your coat, it's summer here!"
After listening, Lin Daiyu stood up and took off her coat after walking to the bookshelf.
Li Qing looked at it in his eyes, and he already understood a lot in his heart.
Sister Lin was held by Chu Langjun's little hand, and she was not angry when she pointed her forehead with her fingertips, but she was only said by him to "listen to the government", Sister Lin mistakenly thought that Chu Zhen thought that she was troublesome, so she was aggrieved and wanted to leave.
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, Sister Lin is obedient.
