Chapter 127

Regarding her mother's family, Wang Shu has no intention of contacting them, nor does she plan to expose her connection with them.

After all, I have not been exposed to them in my previous life, and there is no reason why I must contact them in this life. I haven't asked them before, and I won't ask them that day. When her mother was alive, she never mentioned a word about her grandfather's family. Wang Shu privately felt that perhaps the relationship between her mother and her maternal grandfather was not as close as that of ordinary parents.

In this case, Wang Shu decided to follow her mother's will. Besides, her father loves her no less than anyone else, and Wang Shu does not lack that bit of family affection and protection.

"Master, do you want to put these things away?" When the lark saw Wang Shu dismantling the box and throwing it aside, he had some doubts in his heart. Obviously, I was very precious to this wooden box some time ago, but now I don't seem to care.

"Put it away." Wang Shuren returned to his desk, bowed his head and began to write.

When the lark saw that she did not lift her head, he looked down. In the end, the small wooden box was received into Wang Shu's private vault.

Xiao Yanxing rushed back one night at the end of November, when it was snowing heavily outside the window.

The wind whistled through the air with snow particles, and the doors and windows rattled. The snow was already three feet thick on the ground, and the earth dragon was burning in the house early. Two little kids pouted and crawled on the ground. Wang Shu was dressed in thin obscene clothes, sitting cross-legged on the low table barefoot, writing information without being disturbed at all. The two children crawled up behind her, and tugged at her hair without alarming her.

Xiao Yanxing pushed the door and came in and saw this scene. For some reason, with just one glance, the exhaustion and coldness in my heart melted away in an instant.

He stood by the door, half-hidden, and the small smile crept from the corner of his mouth to the bottom of his eyes.

The candlelight flickered on the low table, and the child's muffled voice seemed to be a warm soothing, which could make people's hearts calm down quickly. Standing by the door and watching for a long time, Xiao Yanxing took off his big hat, swept the snow off his shoulders, and walked in.

These two children are now very active and active, and before they can learn to climb, they have to crawl all over the ground for a while every day.

In order to keep the two children from bumping into each other, Wang Shu took charge of changing the furnishings of the master bedroom. The wooden floors were polished and covered with a soft, warm carpet. The child will not get dirty or hurt if he crawls around on it.

When the slight footsteps sounded, Wang Shu hadn't reacted yet. On the contrary, the two children lying on the ground saw the person and called out in an oooh.

Xiao Yanxing reached out and scooped up the nearest little white fat dumpling, and the child's giggling laughter finally attracted his mother's attention. Wang Shu dipped her head in ink, and suddenly saw someone coming and was shocked: "Are you back?" ”

"Hmm. It's back. The little fat man in Xiao Yanxing's arms was milky, hugging his neck and sticking his neck full of saliva.

It's also thanks to his own son, otherwise who would dare to touch Xiao Yanxing so dirty, according to Xiao Yanxing's cleanliness, he has to kick people to the edge of the sky with one kick. picked up one, and the other was a little unconvinced. Don't look at people who are not a little big, jealousy is leveraged. The little girl hummed and crawled to Xiao Yanxing's feet, tugging at his trouser leg and trying to climb up.

I don't know where the little girl came from with such a big hand, and she almost climbed up by pulling her father's trouser leg. The little hand tugged and tugged, and used the strength to eat. Xiao Yanxing looked at her cheeks and milk trembling, and he laughed when he dragged it.

"Domineering little girl!" Xiao Yanxing bent down and picked up another one.

The little girl threw herself into her father's arms and arched with satisfaction. Her brother was not allowed to hold his father's neck and hit her brother in the face with his little paws.

Her brother didn't cry either, and looked at his father pitifully with big grape eyes. Xiao Yanxing was helpless, and the two children in the family were domineering. The little girl is obviously domineering, and the little boy is wilting and bad. Xiao Yanxing was helpless and funny, and hurriedly stopped the little girl who was beating people and held her little paws. Holding the two children, he walked to Wang Shu's side and squatted: "Ask your mother to hug one?" ”

Wang Shu's eyes turned black when she wrote the material, and it took a long time for her to react.

The little girl hesitated on both sides of her father and mother, and stretched out her fat arm towards Wang Shu.

Wang Shu hugged Yoyou in her arms before coming back to her senses. Xiao Yanxing's body smelled of ice and snow, clear and smelly. This man loves cleanliness and keeps his body clean at all times.

“…… How to come back at this time? Wang Shu pinched the child's hand with one hand, and put the pen down with the other.

Xiao Yanxing glanced at her, and his words sounded like he was not welcome.

"No, I mean, it's snowing so hard outside. It's not safe for you to travel overnight. "The road outside now is not as convenient as the transportation of later generations, and the black lights walk in the wilderness. Not to mention that the road is difficult to walk, it is easy to encounter wild beasts on the road.

Xiao Yanxing sat down cross-legged, stretched out his hand and flicked Wang Shu's forehead, and sighed: "It's rare that you still said something nice." ”

Wang Shu: "......"

Xiao Yanxing naturally wouldn't tell Wang Shu that he was traveling overnight, just to come back early to see her and the child.

It always felt a little weird when this kind of thing came out of his mouth. Not in line with his temperament. It's as if he misses her so much and can't wait to come back to see her. Xiao Yanxing, out of a subtle mind, was unwilling to admit this matter to Wang Shu.

He then looked down at the desk.

There were a number of papers full of words on the desk, and after only a few glances, he quickly saw what Wang Shu was writing.

Having witnessed the yield per mu of the experimental field, Xiao Yanxing naturally knew the weight of these things. Put away that subtle emotion at the moment, and straighten up: "This is writing a book?" ”

“…… It's not a book, it's just a record of all the agricultural knowledge you know. ”

Xiao Yanxing blinked, reached out and picked up a page of paper.

As soon as he picked it up, the child in his arms was a little curious and reached out to grab it. The child stretched out his hand lightly or heavily, and when he grabbed and pulled, the paper had to be broken. Xiao Yanxing hurriedly pressed the paws of the child back to the house, and put back the paper full of words. Don't scratch his mother's hard work, otherwise with Wang Shu's temperament, it is estimated that he will vomit to death.

Wang Shu didn't care about this, grabbed it and put it together, and then transcribed it.

She sat on the sidelines frowning, thinking about things. She thought about it again and again in her heart, raised her head, and looked at Xiao Yanxing without saying anything.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Shu hesitated and informed him of his intention to take in apprentices.

“？” Xiao Yanxing's heart jumped suddenly, and he raised his hand to pick up the little girl in Wang Shu's arms who was also giggling and reaching out to grab the brush on the case. Then he picked up a small ball in one hand, got up and sent the person out of the outer room, and asked the nurse to take it away quickly.

Wang Shu looked at his tall back, slipping a child in one hand, and suddenly had a strange feeling. Xiao Yanxing, who has always given people a sense of not eating fireworks in the world, suddenly has a feeling of a husband. It seems that she has been thinking about it for so long, so that she suddenly has someone who has touched the substance. Quietly watching his back walk around, Wang Shu waited for him to pack up and come back.

"Have you figured out how to accept apprentices?"

"Hmm." Wang Shu watched him quietly lift the hem of his clothes and sit upright in front of him, resuming his cold posture that could not be desecrated. I blinked, and suddenly I wanted to laugh. She paused before saying, "The conditions for accepting apprentices will be very harsh. I will not accept those with poor qualifications, poor understanding or insufficient knowledge, and those who cannot endure hardships. ”

"It's nature." Xiao Yanxing then flipped through part of the content.

Not to mention, people with poor understanding really can't understand it.

"Xiao Yanxing, I don't see people as accurately as you see people." Wang Shu has been thinking about this question for a long time, not on a whim, "This knowledge is very important in today's world. People who study with me need to be screened for their character, qualifications, understanding, and knowledge. If you can, the first hurdle of accepting apprentices, can you help me control it? ”

Looking at Wang Shu's trusting eyes, Xiao Yanxing was stunned. After a pause, he laughed: "...... Shu'er, is this complimenting me? ”

Wang Shu was also stunned for a moment, okay, she admitted. In some things, Xiao Yanxing is quite reliable.

“…… Do you lack praise? But thinking so in her heart, Wang Shu's mouth is still unforgiving.

Xiao Yanxing smiled and didn't care about the roll of her eyes. raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip of his head sideways, and made a rare joke: "There is no shortage of praise, but there are not many good words from your mouth." Some were flattered. ”

Wang Shu: "......"

"There is no hurry to accept apprentices."

In fact, if Wang Shu doesn't mention this, Xiao Yanxing will also intervene. Food is related to the national economy and people's livelihood and is the foundation of a country. If it is really learned by a person with a bad heart, the harm will be far-reaching in the future. What's more, Wang Shu is a young and beautiful woman who is extremely attractive. If you arrange someone to be close to Wang Shu, Xiao Yanxing inexplicably has a sense of crisis, "You can't pick a candidate at will, you have to think about it in the long run." ”

When he said this, he must have a charter in his heart. Wang Shu didn't worry about it at all, she planned to focus on preparing the 'teaching materials' next.

Just thinking about it in her heart, Wang Shu remembered another matter.

Raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yanxing.

As this guy gets older, he shows no signs of becoming ugly. On the contrary, because of his superior bone appearance and outstanding temperament, he became more and more deep and elegant as his experience deepened. Obviously sitting on the side, there was no flirtatation, but there was a kind of restraint and abstinence in him that made people want to strip him off. Is this what is called sexual tension?

Glancing at him again, Wang Shu was a little embarrassed. Whether this guy will celebrate his birthday or not, I really can't grasp it.

Xiao Yanxing quietly watched her expression change back and forth, and did not say anything to disturb.

For a long time, Wang Shu chose to break the jar. Get up and go to the inner room and take out the white hosta that has been carved earlier. Wang Shu is a typical Wang family in art, he really has no talent, and the carver can only be said to be so-so. This hairpin was carved by her hand, which can be said to be a waste of good material. But this is already the best Wang Shu can do.

In order to show that it is a good material, this white hosta Wang Shu also deliberately took a good wooden box and put it.

When the thing was placed in front of Xiao Yanxing, he was still a little surprised: "...... For me? ”

"Hmm." Wang Shu looked at death as if she were at home, "Open it and take a look." ”

Xiao Yanxing doesn't know how many gifts he receives every year, but this is the first time he has seen someone open it in person.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the person opposite. I haven't seen Wang Shu for a long time, and when I see her again, this girl looks even better than before. Xiao Yanxing's eyes were slightly dark, and there was a half-light and half-ambiguous strangeness in the candlelight. He blinked slowly, his eyelashes pulling a black shadow on the bridge of his nose. The slender white fingers lifted and opened the wooden box in front of him.

Inside is a white hosta with a simple shape, which looks like a man's style.

Xiao Yanxing was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "You carved it?" ”

“…… The first time I carved it, I didn't carve it well. Wang Shu was a little embarrassed, she originally wanted to carve more finely, but her skills were not enough.

Xiao Yanxing's heart jumped. A warm current surged up from the bottom of my heart, slowly rushing towards the limbs and bones. He fluttered a few times with his eyelashes drooping, and there was not much emotion on his calm countenance.

"Don't like it? Is it a bit ugly? ”

"How so?" Xiao Yanxing closed the lid and raised his eyes and smiled so that the whole room lit up, "I like it very much." ”

After speaking, he raised his hand and wiped off the ink on Wang Shu's cheek at some point.

Wang Shu was still thinking that if he didn't like it, he could change it to something else. Just as she was about to speak, she felt someone's fingers slide down her jaw to the corners of her mouth again, and the thumb pressed against her lips.

Xiao Yanxing's eyes were lowered to cover the light, and his voice was as light as the wind: "Shu'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much." ”

Wang Shu's face turned red, and she opened her mouth, just about to say something. I saw the person in front of me leaning down slightly, holding her back with one hand and pinching her chin with the other and lifting it up.

He lowered his head and touched her lips first, then kissed her gently......

……

The heavy snow fell all night, but it could not extinguish the fire in the house.

The cold winter seems to be long, but it is not enough for Wang Shu, and the effort will pass in the blink of an eye.

If she wants to write down all the knowledge she has mastered, and wants to explain every knowledge point clearly, just one winter is not enough. In less than two months, it was only enough for her to write down the basic principles clearly. Just combing through knowledge and presenting it in an easy-to-understand way requires racking your brains. Wang Shu now finally understands why some people are always lamenting that there is not enough time.

But even if you don't want to believe it, time flies like a white horse, and it is the end of the month in a blink of an eye.

Heavy snow fell and stopped, and it fell intermittently for a winter.

It's freezing everywhere, ice crystals can be frozen out of a breath, and there are no pedestrians on the road. At this time, the so-called cat winter is a completely different concept from the winter of later generations. At this time, there was really not a single figure in the streets and fields. There are not many shops on both sides of the street, only a few, and most of them have closed their doors to return to their hometowns for the New Year.

Occasionally, horse-drawn carriages passed by, leaving two deep rut marks, but they were soon hidden by snow again.

The colder it gets, the lazier people become. Wang Shu used to go out for a walk, but now she basically shrinks into the house and doesn't go out.

In fact, as a side concubine, it stands to reason that she should not return home all year round. But Wang Shu's situation is special, and Xiao Yanxing allows her to be outside all year round. But on Chinese New Year's Eve, an important festival, you still have to go to the Xiao Mansion family banquet to show up.

Now she is Xiao Yanxing's side concubine, and she is the most upright person among the female dependents in the backyard of Xiao Mansion besides the Yang family. It stands to reason that in the absence of a concubine, the side concubine should take on the chores of the house. For such a big festival as Chinese New Year's Eve, there must be a lot of people in the government who need her to take ideas. However, Wang Shu and Yang were both lazy, and they postponed their errands for different reasons.

Wang Shu was too busy to spare time, and Yang was too poor to hold on. In this way, this year it is still Mama Yuan who will be in charge.

Early in the morning, Mama Yuan hurried to the Wang family's courtyard.

No matter whether Wang Shu is in charge of things or not, there must be decency and rules. Mama Yuan took over the responsibility of managing the back house, staring at the back house every day, and had to come to the Wang family's small courtyard to make a report when she had time. No matter what happened in the house, Wang Shu needed to know. As for whether Wang Shu is willing to take the idea or not, whether he is happy to worry about it, that is Wang Shu's business.

Regarding Liu's continuous giving to the capital and Bashu, Mama Yuan knows, and Wang Shu also knows.

Originally, Mama Yuan wanted to tell her master to intercept it. But Bashu never replied to the letter, and Xiao Yanxing didn't say anything about disposing of it, so the matter was left unattended. I wrote it three or four times, and it was like a stone sinking into the sea. Let's not mention how my master thinks about this matter in his heart, but Mama Yuan understands something.

For example, the new master of the Sui family doesn't seem to be so provocative and very calm.

Today, Mother Yuan naturally came to discuss the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve with Wang Shu, and took the opportunity to see the little master.

Xiao Yanxing took very strict care of the two children, did not respond, and could not take the children out when he was idle. is that Mama Yuan is looking forward to taking a look more, without the permission of the above, she does not have the dignity to go into the side room to see the child. Mama Yuan naturally knew the proportions, and every time she came back, she didn't dare to disturb, so she stood under the porch of the side room and stretched her neck to look inside.

I often stand for a long time, I can't see people, and I can't help but be happy when I listen to a voice.
