Chapter Eighty-Eight: Red Sleeves Add Fragrance
When the room was full of people leaving, Hui Niang and Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief...... After all, it is a woman's family, and she is not used to entertaining these big people in their eyes, and she comes so many at once.
"Stinky boy, didn't you tell you not to go far in the back alley? Where did you die again, and you brought back a painting? When the words of the old lady are not in the ears? ”
As soon as the person left, Zhou returned to her usual pungency, and scolded Shen Xi.
Shen Xi didn't want to explain, the trouble was originally caused by him, although the shopkeeper Xu of the calligraphy and painting shop next door was the culprit.
"Mother, I know it's wrong." Shen Xi obediently admitted his mistake.
Zhou was about to continue scolding, and Hui Niang suddenly asked, "Xiaolang, where did you get that painting?" ”
"This ......"
Shen Xi's mind was spinning quickly, if he said that this painting was painted by the old gentleman, Hui Niang and Zhou would inevitably force him to invite people, but if it was painted by someone else, Hui Niang's shrewdness might not believe it. Shen Xi thought about it again and again, and said, "I found someone to paint that painting...... Shopkeeper Xu made a mistake and asked me to take out another painting, but I couldn't find the old gentleman for a while, so I had to do it in a hurry...... But I don't know why the county lord likes that painting? ”
Hui Niang thought for a while and said, "I don't think he likes paintings, but the people in them." Hui Niang's eyes were bright, and she also noticed that Ye Mingsu's expression was wrong when she looked at her just now, and when she saw the painting later, her confused expression became more and more unable to hide.
Zhou scolded: "What do you stinky boy do...... Xinzhi County has arrived in Ninghua County, let's live a good life in the future, don't provoke the government if you have nothing to do, we can't afford to provoke those who are officials. Tell your father in the evening, let him be careful at the tea shop, don't lie to us again. ”
"Mother, we are not a rich family, why do people from other people's official mansions want to slander us?"
Zhou slapped Shen Xi on the head: "What's wrong if you don't listen to you?" If he likes to listen to books and listen to music, and he goes to the tea shop all day long, who would dare to go? Is the tea shop still alive? ”
Hui Niang nodded and said, "Xiaolang, your mother is right. Because of the old gentleman's affairs, we have had a few contacts with our predecessor Han Zhixian, let's be careful in the future, we don't know what kind of person Xinzhi County is, so try to avoid it if you don't provoke it. ”
Shen Xi nodded obediently: "I understand." ”
Zhou still wanted to train people, but he couldn't bear to see Shen Xi's silent appearance, and it happened that Hui Niang would go back to the new shop later after explaining the matter to her, so she waved her hand and signaled Shen Xi to leave.
Shen Xi was amnesty, and hurriedly walked away, and when he came to the backyard, he saw Lin Dai and Lu Xi'er standing in the middle of the courtyard as if they had done something wrong, bowing their heads and their faces full of worry and frustration.
"Whose book was taken away by the county magistrate?" Shen Xi asked.
"It's mine, Brother Shen Xi."
Lu Xi'er raised her head and pulled Shen Xi's sleeve, her little face was touching and moving, "Write me another copy, I promise that I won't be taken away in the future...... Good no good? ”
Shen Xi couldn't help but blame this cute and obsessed little Lori, the whole thing has nothing to do with them, the previous county magistrate Han Xie was prosperous because of his meritorious service in controlling the plague, and it was reasonable for the successor to come to the pharmacy to inspect. As for appearing in the back alley, most of them are the shopkeeper Xu of "Sigu Zhai" next door playing tricks behind his back.
"Don't worry, let's go out as little as possible in the future. I'll write you another one later, you have to keep it well, and you will have to rely on it for your future studies, understand? Shen Xi touched Lu Xi'er's little head and instructed with pity.
"Hmm." Lu Xi'er finally smiled.
Back at home in the back alley, Shen Xi wrote "Kindergarten Qionglin" for Lu Xi'er, because he had made many changes when the book was written, and he wrote it while recalling.
Lin Dai entered the room and handed her booklet: "Well, if you can't remember, copy this one." She saw that Shen Xi was writing slowly, thinking that he didn't remember the content of the previous book. In fact, with Shen Xi's strong spiritual power now, he has the ability to never forget, not to mention that "Kindergarten Qionglin" itself was deleted and written by him, how could he forget it?
"Pack up your own things, Xi'er is young and ignorant, you are older than her, and my mother always asks me to teach you knowledge, don't disappoint my mother." Shen Xi said casually, and then continued to write.
Lin Dai watched silently from the side, and when the ink dried up, she took the initiative to study ink for Shen Xi. Under Shen Xi's teaching, her level of ink research has improved rapidly, and now the ink will no longer stain her sleeves.
Shen Xi was originally distracted, and after writing for a while, he smelled the faint girl's body fragrance, turned his hair sideways and felt that Lin Dai was studying ink, and he couldn't help but feel a little more warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect a beauty to add fragrance to my red sleeves, and I will leave the matter of ink research to you in the future." ”
Lin Dai looked confused, blinked her eyes and asked, "What is Red Sleeve Fragrance?" ”
"Well, it's a beautiful realm, you're young, and you can't explain it to you clearly."
Lin Dai couldn't help pouting when she heard Shen Xi say that she was young, but the movements of her hands did not stop: "I always say that I am young, and you are younger than me...... Hmph, you'll pretend to be an adult. ”
Shen Xi smiled and didn't reason with her, and Lin Dai gave him ink research, which made him feel good and much faster. But Rao was like this, and it took two or three hours to write Lu Xi'er's textbook.
In order to prevent Lu Xi'er from not cherishing it and getting dirty and wrinkled, Shen Xi specially sewed it on the title page with very thick kraft paper, and then wrote the words "Kindergarten Qionglin". Lin Dai looked at her expression and was slightly dissatisfied, probably because she was annoyed that Shen Xi loved Lu Xi'er more, but she ignored her a little.
When Shen Mingjun came back in the evening, Zhou told the county master about going to the pharmacy in the afternoon, and reminded Shen Mingjun to pay attention to the tea shop and not let the county master catch the sore feet.
Shen Mingjun said with a big grin: "Don't worry about it, lady, our little shop is next to Xixi in the city, and the alley itself is inconspicuous. Lady, you see, I made a lot of money today. ”
Shen Mingjun opened the small burden he carried back, and Zhou saw that it was full of copper coins, and his face was full of happy smiles, so he immediately remembered something, and looked back at Shen Xi and Lin Dai who were eating at the dinner table: "The two little ones are here, I'll put the money away first, and wait for it to be strung up before going to bed." You have to save it well, and if you save enough money in the future, we will also buy a yard. ”
Shen Mingjun said suddenly: "Tomorrow, I'm going to find someone to go back this month's monthly money a little bit......
Zhou was a little silent, in the past half a year since she entered the city, she and Shen Mingjun have been working hard, and the family conditions are getting better and better, but there is a problem that cannot be avoided, that is, there is no separation, and no matter how much money you make, it is not your own.
"I'd better leave some." Shen Mingjun said again, "The shop needs money turnover, and Xiaolang also needs to study." I'll look back and see how to expand the scale of the shop, and then I will say the same as what you said, let's buy a yard, I believe my mother can understand. ”
Zhou couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard this, in the end, her husband was still thinking about her and her son, and his face couldn't help but feel a little more tender.
Shen Xi felt like a light bulb, so he quickly pulled the last few bites of rice into his mouth, pulled Lin Dai out to wash, and prepared to go back to the house to sleep.
"I haven't eaten yet...... You're in such a hurry every time, why are you dragging me out? I still want to talk to my mother. Lin Dai finished washing first, and stood by the wellhead to complain.
Shen Xi wiped his arm with a soaked cloth towel and complained: "I don't have eyesight, can't you see that my mother thinks we are in the house as an eyesore?" As children, you must be conscious, and you can't let your mother rush everything. ”
Lin Dai reacted at this time, looked back at the closed door, and asked suspiciously, "Yes, what is my mother doing inside with the door closed?" ”
"So you're still a kid."
After Shen Xi finished scrubbing, he hung the cloth towel on the clothesline, and splashed the water from the wooden basin by the way, "When you grow up, you will understand, in the future, you will have children with me, and you will be annoyed that they will always annoy you because they have no eyesight." ”
Lin Dai grimaced and stuck out her tongue: "Don't be ashamed, who wants to have a child with you." After saying that, he was a little shy, and ran into the house first.
