Eight months later.

A dawn of light.

A handsome young man with a long figure, frowning and standing in a basin.

This is the beginning of spring, and in front of the boy is a large green grassy slope, green waves like a tide, undulating with the wind, full of charm. Even if you tumble down the hillside, roll down the thick grass, and fall down the hill for a mile or two, you won't be hurt in any way.

What's even more beautiful is the Qihua Yao grass, dotted within, there are a few particularly tall purple and blue trumpet flowers, trembling in the morning breeze, making people feel that the original wind blowing, grass moving, flower trembling, and the rhythm of the water flow are all the same.

A long stream of water, flowing through the new green and thick mattress meadow, winds into a beautiful arc, flowing around the hut, the sound of the flowing water, like the innocent laughter of a young girl, so light, so clear, so crisp and soft.

But what's sweeter is the singing in the wind.

The girl's singing voice seems to make this beautiful and pure place full of joy, just like the lightness of a fawn that must be set off by a jumping posture.

The song is as natural as the water quietly melting under the thin ice of spring, and it is as comfortable to listen to as a fairy in the clouds sending the wind.

The young man smiled, his frowning brows gradually relaxed, and he could already hear that this was Xinlan's singing. At this time, the small door of the thatched hut opened, and the girl's voice was sweeter than singing: "Dumb brother, get up so early!"

The young man (dumb) turned his head and said indifferently: "I have something on my mind, so I got up early." ”

"Dumb brother, can't you remember who you are?"

Dumb shook his head and frowned again, the lines of the sword eyebrows gathered were like a stumbling dream, which was both sad and distressing.

The girl walked over gently, came to Dumb, stroked his black hair, and said softly, "It's okay, you will always remember." ”

Her hands are both light and gentle, like a loving mother who feels sorry for her children, and like a big sister who cares for her younger brother.

In fact, it is just the opposite, the girl is much younger than Dumb, she is sixteen years old this year, but she is still studying.

Today's son is Zhu Youji, this is a wonderful emperor, although it is not as good as the Qin Emperor Han Wu's Wen Taowu strategy, nor as good as the Tang Dynasty and Song Zu's dominance, but it also has its own characteristics: benevolent governance, treat the people like sons.

This is unmatched by any emperor in history.

Not only that, but this year is even more of a big rule in the world, proposing that men and women are equal, and girls can also go to private schools.

A girl from a rich family has to pay her tuition fees or how to pay it, but the daughter of a poor family doesn't take a penny. This girl's name is You Xinlan, her parents died when she was a child, and her only brother You Shuge depended on each other, and the family was poor and white, except for this thatched house, there was nothing.

Not to mention reading.

She is a clever girl, embroidery work is a must, You Shuge goes out hunting all day long, changing some daily necessities, You Xinlan is at home to take some embroidery work, used to supplement the family.

But in that little heart, I want to read more.

Hearing that Zhu Youji, the Son of Heaven, decreed that children from poor families could go to private schools for free, and there were many preferential policies, he was so happy that he immediately told the news to his brother You Shuge.

You Shuge thought about it again and again, but still agreed.

You Xinlan also went to the nearest private school to study, and as of today, it has been thirteen days. Dumb knew that she got up so early and went to study again, and he was happy for her, but he was afraid that he would meet bad people on the road, so he said softly: "Xinlan, why don't I send you?" You Xinlan's face was a little blushing, and she lowered her head and muttered, but she didn't dare to look at him.

Along the way, the two walked side by side, and neither spoke.

In fact, this road is only more than three miles, and You Xinlan hopes that he will not finish it in this life.

Because she went to study, there was a little secret, she liked this dumb who moved near her house half a year ago and built a thatched house with one hand, although she didn't know who he was and why he suddenly moved to this mountain.

But like is like, she knows this very well in her heart, but she is afraid that she can't read a word, and Dumb will dislike her and don't want her.

So, she decided to go to school for her sake.

You Xinlan remembers that every month, there are always a few days, and two very beautiful sisters will come to see him, and then buy him a lot of daily necessities, You Xinlan feels that this should be his relatives.

She really wanted to tell her brother You Shuge that she fell in love with this handsome but often daze big boy, and she wanted to get close to those two beautiful sisters and tell them what was on her mind, but after all, she was a daughter's family, and she felt very shy and a little difficult to speak, so until now, Dumb has been kept in the dark.

Today, she finally had a chance, and she decided to confess.

However, every time she wanted to say this, her face was red again, and her heart beat like a deer.

Dumb didn't pay attention to this, he was looking up at the sky, looking at the changing clouds in the sky, and the vast sea in the distance.

A few unknown birds, soaring in the distance of the sea, at the line between the sea and the sky. You Xinlan was afraid of being seen by him at first, she was very worried, seeing that he didn't look at herself at all, and was watching the scenery again, she was so angry that she stomped her feet and said hatefully: "You go quickly, it's better to go back there to see the stream and the grass." ”

Dumbfounded, I don't know why.

"You're a nerd, and you'll never have to be a nerd. Dumb was stunned, he really didn't understand.

"I'm getting to the place, why don't you leave?" "This ...... There's still a long way to go, I'm afraid of ......" "You're afraid of a fart, you wish I was bullied by bad people." You Xinlan almost burst into tears.

Hearing this, even if Dumb is really a nerd, he should understand You Xinlan's intentions.

Of course he didn't stay, but You Xinlan suddenly said what was on his mind, and he couldn't adapt to it.

He has always regarded this good girl next door as his sister, not to mention that she is a full six years younger than himself.

This age difference made him dare not think about the affairs of men and women.

Therefore, he hesitated and said: "Xinlan, I ...... I ......"

His words were suddenly cut off, but a soft voice was heard: "This sister, dare to ask how to go to Shengfang's private school?"

Dumb looked up and saw that it was a young and beautiful girl wearing a floral dress, staring at You Xinlan and asking.

You Xinlan looked at her sideways and said with a smile: "You must be a newcomer, I'm studying at Shengfang Private School, why don't you go together?"

"Yes, yes!" the girl was a little flattered.
