After dressing as a deposed prince's favored concubine verse 13
Wang Shu: "...... You say you don't eat it. "What do you see? If you don't want to eat it yourself, you won't let others eat it?
To be honest, she knew she had eaten a lot. But she is usually very relieved that she can eat. In today's era when most people don't have enough to eat, there is no requirement to be thin for beauty.
Besides, she made the bread, and the eggs, oil, and salt were all spent on it.
In this way, Wang Shu swept the tail with peace of mind. He took out his handkerchief and wiped his fingers carefully, put away the food box and stood up.
With her series of flowing movements, Xiao Yanxing raised one eyebrow slightly.
It's not that Wang Shu has forgotten his existence, let alone can't guess his identity. It is impossible for a foreign man to feed the fish in the back house of the Xiao family, and the one who can walk around without being disturbed can only be the master of Xijing.
Wang Shu has seen the beauty of the master. She admired it, but it didn't mean that she wanted to have something to do with him.
It's been a few days since I entered the house. Wang Shu seems to be messing with other things and doesn't care about anything else, but in fact, she doesn't listen to the movements in the courtyard.
The temperament of the Siyi Academy, and the series of encounters of the Liu family, are enough for her to learn from the current car.
Whether this master has misogynistic tendencies, she doesn't know and doesn't dare to talk nonsense, but she definitely doesn't have that kind of worldly desire. Hope. Again, Wang Shu is not interested in competing with a group of women for a man. It doesn't matter if she's tall or naΓ―ve. Her pride does not allow herself to fall.
Wang Shu saluted Xiao Yanxing in Mama Jiang's posture, and then left without looking back.
Xiao Yanxing quietly stared at the sonorous and powerful back, for some reason, it was quite funny. He hooked the corners of his mouth, picked up a pinch of fish food, and was about to get up and walk, when he heard a rush of footsteps not far away.
It's Mosui.
"Master, there is a feather in the turtle."
Xiao Yanxing's face changed, and he immediately dropped the fish food and walked down quickly.
Wang Shu returned to the courtyard with the empty food box, and the peony had already returned from delivering the cakes.
She returned to the courtyard after delivering her things and didn't see Wang Shu, so she was so anxious that she paced back and forth with her two hands. I thought that if Wang Shu didn't come back, she would have to find someone. As soon as he looked up, Wang Shuren had already entered the house.
Peony hurriedly told her Mama Yuan's situation: "Mama is very happy to accept the food. β
Wang Shu nodded, put the empty food box on the table, and turned his head to order Lily of the Valley to prepare water.
It was getting late at this time, and she couldn't eat after using so many leek egg cakes. After walking around the house several times, my abdomen was not much better, and it was still very distended.
Peony wanted to say that she would have dinner in a while, but when she went back to check the food box, she found that the food box was empty. Suddenly shocked: "Master, where is the bread here?" β
"Eat." One hand rubbed his stomach in a circular motion, and Wang Shu simply stood up and continued walking.
"Eaten? All? β
"Hmm."
Peony's eyes widened, obviously she didn't expect Wang Shu to be so able to eat. Although she found out that Wang Shu had a lot of food a few days earlier, she didn't think it would be so outrageous. Staring at her high bulging abdomen, Peony was shocked.
ββ¦β¦ Master, is dinner still being passed on? β
Wang Shu held her stomach and turned around a few more times, turned her head and winked at her: "What do you see?" β
Peony shut up.
That day and night, the lights in the entire front yard were not extinguished.
Although the back house didn't know what was going on, the master was in a bad mood, and the whole mansion was tense.
Siyi Yuan heard that the master had not eaten for several days, so he sent someone to the front yard to deliver soup several times. But without exception, they were all turned away.
Concubine Lin was ashamed and annoyed in her heart, and she made several fires in the courtyard alone. Still puzzled, he remembered that Liu was fortunate again.
The slap marks on Liu's face disappeared, and he estimated that he had suffered in Siyi Courtyard, and realized that the eldest woman in this courtyard was different from the Liu family in the county government's house.
The Lin family is not the housewife of the Liu family, and her temperament is not as easy to bully as the housewife of the Liu family. Lin beat her, that is if he wants to hit her, he can beat her. It's that she is wronged and wants to find someone to avenge her, and no one in this place eats her set.
Realizing this, she has been very quiet these days.
But if she wanted to stop, she had to ask Lin if she agreed. The Lin family and the concubine Liang have never suffered a loss, let alone a little seven-rank county order's concubine?
Siyi Yuan found an excuse and recruited the Liu family, but Wang Shu didn't know. She went to find Mama Yuan early in the morning and went out with the peony and the guards.
It dragged on for a few more days, but today is a good day. Wang Shu went to Yahang first.
Lin'an County is a relatively wealthy place in the northwest. Because of the connection between the east and the west, the trade routes were very developed. There are many kinds of shops on the streets, including those selling silk, food, gold, silver and jade. Vendors carrying goods and pushing carts are hawking along the streets, and there are many people rushing to the market early in the morning. Dongjiekou is even more crowded, shoulder to shoulder, and traffic.
The dental store selected by Wang Shu is the largest dental store in the county, and there are many dental people who greet guests.
Seeing Wang Shu and his entourage coming in, a tooth man with a smile on his face immediately greeted him.
Wang Shu didn't greet him either, and said that she wanted to buy a field.
The tooth man looked at Wang Shu's face, and then looked at the burly guards and delicate subordinates behind her, and immediately knew that this was not bad money. Suddenly, the smile became even more earnest. I hurriedly went to the house to get a booklet and invited Wang Shu to sit down in the wing room and talk.
There are a lot of fertile fields in Lin'an County, but most of them are occupied by wealthy businessmen and officials. The only places that can be put up for sale are those at the foot of the mountain north of the city. If Wang Shu wants to buy it, the price is negotiable.
The toothed man glanced at the guards behind Wang Shu who didn't speak, but the momentum was very overwhelming: "I won't tell you a lie, the fertile fields at the foot of the mountain are indeed fertile, but they are a little too wet compared to the fields in the south of the city." It's not good to grow some grains like wheat...... There is also slightly dry land, which is also in this area. If you want to be objective, you can take a look. β
As he spoke, he carefully looked at Wang Shu's face.
The main grain crops in Lin'an County are wheat, sorghum, buckwheat, and barley. Thirdly, beans, flax and rape are also considered major crops. Land that is too humid is really not suitable for growing these.
Wang Shu's expression was indifferent, and she didn't say to buy it immediately, but went over to take a look first.
The foot of the mountain in the north of the city is some distance from here, but this time, Wang Shu has a carriage. Thinking that there was not much chance to go out, she did not delay, and asked the tooth man to lead the way to see it immediately.
It is indeed a little far north of the city, and it takes half an hour for the carriage to pass. But fortunately, it is not in vain. It is indeed too wet to grow wheat and sorghum in this field, and if you change to grow grain, you have to irrigate some more water. There was a small ditch not far away with some water in it. The light is also good, this is on the sunny side, and the energy saving in spring and summer ensures at least three hours of light.
Wang Shu didn't speak, and walked a distance along the field.
There are also dry land, but the fertility of the land is somewhat poor. But it is enough to grow cold melons.
The tooth man didn't know what she was looking at, and he was twisting the soil and pulling the weeds for a while, and only followed her carefully. Peony Lily of the Valley followed Wang Shu quietly throughout the whole process, and they didn't know anything about the land selection, so they didn't dare to speak indiscriminately. Waiting for Wang Shu to finalize, the two will help negotiate the price.
"That's it," although it is a little far from the county seat, this land is really good, "and then put the two dry lands next to it together, and I will buy it." β
Now that it has been finalized, the rest of the matter will be left to Peony to discuss.
Wang Shu glanced at the sky, and there was still enough time to go to Wang Xuanzhi's academy.
Wang Xuanzhi's academy was in the east of the city, and the carriage passed for another half an hour. After explaining that peony would buy another piece of land, if it was convenient, and then buy a house nearby, she led Lily of the Valley and the guards to leave first.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the academy, it was already noon.
The sun made people dizzy, and in broad daylight, the doors of the academy were closed. This academy doesn't look big, but the name is quite big. At the top is a huge hot stamping plaque of "Lin'an Academy", and there are two stone lions squatting at the door.
I went to the side again, only to find that although the door was closed, the small door on the right side was indeed open.
In order to suppress Wang Xuanzhi and not cause trouble for her, the Mao family also took great pains. The academy she picked was notorious for not giving Hugh Mu, managing people like prisoners, no family members to collect it, and not giving it out when they were idle. If Wang Xuanzhi wanted to run home quietly, it would be absolutely impossible. After Wang Shu arrived, he was stopped by the gatehouse, and only then did he know that this academy had this rule.
Listening to Lily of the Valley's advice, Wang Shu frowned. How can this college be like those boarding schools with a bad reputation in later generations?
"Let's talk about it again, just say that I am Wang Xuanzhi's own sister, and I'll bring him some food." Mao is Wang Xuanzhi's biological mother, so he will not harm him. Wang Shu didn't doubt this, and waited patiently for a while.
I don't know what Lily of the Valley said to the porter, but after a long time, the old man relented.
However, Wang Shu's carriage was still not allowed to enter the academy, and they were only told to wait. After waiting a little longer, a skinny young man came out of the small door at the back. He looked around for a while, and saw a carriage parked under a big tree across the road, and his eyes lit up. Holding two books, I ran over in a hurry.
The curtain of the car was opened, and Wang Shu sat inside. Just as he was about to ask him to get in the car and talk, he looked down and saw that his face was bruised. The corners of his mouth are also broken, and he is much thinner than when he saw them at home last time.
The garments were not new, they were dirty, and they hung empty.
Wang Shu's face changed and asked, "What's the matter with your face!" β
CHAPTER XIV
Wang Xuanzhi lowered his head instantly, not knowing how to reply.
Seeing the angry expression on his sister's face, he tugged at his sleeve a little crampedly.
The action was not obvious, but Wang Shu saw it at a glance. Grabbed him by the arm and pulled his sleeve up. A thin arm was covered in black green. At first glance, this injury is man-made. A wave of anger surged up from the bottom of his heart, Wang Shu really didn't pay much attention to this half-brother in his previous life, but it doesn't mean that he can tolerate others beating him wantonly.
"Who did it!"
The little boy didn't speak, his hands clenched into fists and hung down at his side, pulling the corners of his clothes hard.
It seemed that for the first time, someone cared about him, and he didn't know how to deal with it. The corners of his mouth deflated downward, and he forced Wang Shu to show a well-behaved smile. Although he didn't cry, a pair of eyes that were exactly the same as Wang Chengjin were filled with tears, and they were so red that they were dripping blood.
ββ¦β¦ Sister, do you think I'm stupid as a pig? β
Wang Shu was still checking the injuries on his body, in addition to his face and arms, his hair was also cut off. You must know how serious a humiliation it was to cut people's hair in ancient times.
Wang Shu closed her eyes and swallowed this breath: "Who said you are as stupid as a pig?" β
"......" Wang Xuanzhi lowered his head and did not speak.
After a pause, he muttered: "I haven't been like my father and sister since I was a child, I can read, and my head is bright." "Disciple Rules" and "Thousand Character Text" have been read for several years, and now "Longwen Whip Shadow" can't be read ......"
"Where can't I read "Dragon Whip Shadow"?"
"It's bold. Er Tong Meng...... I don't remember later. Wang Xuanzhi's nose opened twice, and his face was crying, "Mr. told us to carry it down." But I've memorized it so many times, but I just can't remember it. β
"Bold into four words, Ertongmeng. The scriptures are free, and the history must be passed? β
"Seems like so." Wang Xuanzhi thought about it, and after Wang Shu finished saying the next sentence, he remembered it again.
Compared with Wang Shu's export chapter, he is an elm pimple. Wang Xuanzhi couldn't hold back in the end, and tears fell down his eyes. This kid cries very differently than the average ten-year-old. He couldn't cry anymore, and he didn't know who he looked like.
Wang Shu felt a little astringent in his heart, and touched his head, "Sir, did you explain it to you?" β
"Huh?" Wang Xuanzhi looked up at Wang Shu and shook his head in confusion.
The meaning of this sentence is to write the allusion into a simple four-word sentence that can be used to teach you children. In addition to reading the 'books of the scriptures', we should also find time to read the books of the sub-department and the history department in order to understand them. β
In these years, the teacher in the small place taught the children, just one word, memorize. The back will not hit the hand board. Some gentlemen may be confused and unable to understand the meaning of the text.
Wang Shu doesn't read many ancient books, but she can still explain ancient children's books such as "Longwen Whip Shadow".
"That's it, I'll give you a review of "Dragon Whip Shadow", and you will learn it again after you understand it. A bare back is not good for backing. Wang Shu can't criticize the current teaching method, but changing Wang Xuanzhi to a good gentleman has to be mentioned on the agenda, "You tell me first, who said you are stupid as a pig?" β
Wang Xuanzhi drooped his head and stopped talking.
Looking at his appearance, Wang Shu also knew that he couldn't ask. This kid is quite similar to her in some ways, and his temperament is very stubborn.
After a long time, Wang Shu let out a breath. No matter who calls him stupid as a pig, the first question is where his injuries come from.
What kind of character does Wang Xuanzhi have, Wang Shu still has some bottom in his heart. Because of his father's negligence, he did not develop such an arrogant temperament, and he was not likely to bully others. It can only be that someone bullied him.
Looking at his dirty clothes, it looked like they hadn't been washed in a month or two. With the wealth of the Wang family, it is impossible for Wang Xuanzhi to have no one to take care of him when he is studying abroad. He grew up, even if he didn't like his father, he dressed decently. How did you go out to study and look like an orphan without a father or mother?
"What's wrong with the injuries?" Wang Shu asked, "What about the new clothes?" Didn't send it to you at home? β
