"Sir, I read that it is written in this book, "The leaves are pale, the white dew is frost, the so-called Yi people, on the water side", what does this mean? Beiran stood up the scroll in his hand and shook his head like an old master in his seventies and eighties.

Ji Changkong took a book and read it, ignored her, and said, "I just taught you yesterday, think for yourself." ”

After thinking for a while, suddenly, Bei Ran's eyes rolled and his face was happy. Seeing this, Ji Changkong glanced at her, "Thought of it?" ”

Beiran shouted: "I thought of it!" Today, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, lunch must be braised pork ribs and rock sugar lotus seed soup made by my mother herself. ”

Ji Changkong: "......"

"Go and copy "Pu Jia" ten times, and you are not allowed to eat until you finish copying!"

said that he was not allowed to eat until he finished copying, but as soon as lunch time came, Bei Ran threw the pen on the bookcase, and the books were not cleaned up, so he ran to the dining room with Ji Changkong. The lord of Beizhai and Mrs. Bei were already waiting there, and when they saw the two coming, Mrs. got up and went to the kitchen to serve food. Bei Ran first asked Ji Changkong to sit down, and then sat next to him again, waiting for the food to be served with joy.

After waiting for a while, all the dishes were ready, and the table was full of greens and radishes, but the pork ribs and lotus seed soup that she was thinking about were missing. So he pouted and asked, "Mother, isn't it the eighth day of the first lunar month today, why aren't there sweet and sour pork ribs and rock sugar lotus seed soup?" ”

The lady smiled: "I have looked for it, and there is only this grain stored in the village, and I should go down the mountain to buy it in the next two days." The last time I went to the city to buy was when Gongzi was just going to be your husband, and I bought it back by the way in order to prepare big and small things for him. More than two months have passed, and those things are long gone. ”

Bei Ran sighed secretly, it turned out that she hadn't gone down the mountain for more than two months, since she wanted to buy ingredients, who would go or not, if she took care of this matter, she could take this opportunity to go out and play, I don't know if there is anything new in the city recently.

Thinking like this, she said to Mrs. Bei: "Mother, why don't you leave it to me this time, I will carefully select and ensure that the things I buy back are of good quality and low price." ”

The lord of Beizhai interrupted her on the side: "Hmph, are you going?" I'm afraid you want to take the opportunity to run out and play. How's your homework going? I thought about running out all day. ”

Bei Ran patted his chest and affirmed: "Daddy, I have been studying hard recently, and I go to class before the end of the morning every day, and I don't leave until after the unitary hour, and I have never been late." ”

Bei Qingteng looked at her with a questioning look and said, "Really? ”

Bei Ran said: "Really, I didn't say a word of lie, I don't believe you ask Mr. ”

After that, she pitifully pulled Ji Changkong's sleeve under the table with her fingers, and motioned with her eyes for him to help her say good things.

Ji Changkong glanced at her and turned his head to be silent.

Seeing his reaction, Bei Ran lowered his head and said in his heart: It's over, there must be no play.

In the middle of the sound, Ji Changkong opened his mouth and said: "Beizhai master, what Bei Ran said is true, she has really worked hard to study these days, and since then, she has never been late." Not only did he learn a lot of new words, but he was also able to read many new poems on his own, and he made great progress. So I think that this time I can let her go down the mountain, and a proper relaxation will also help to improve her studies. ”

Hearing what Ji Changkong said, Bei Qingteng nodded in agreement: "Well, then let her go." ”

When Beiran heard this, he hurriedly said excitedly: "Thank you, father." ”

Then he winked at Ji Changkong on the side, which means: Thank you!

Ji Changkong picked up the teacup, took a small peck, and pursed his lips and smiled slightly.

After the meal, Bei Ran followed Ji Changkong back to his room, sticking to him like a little tail, and kept chattering in his mouth.

"Sir, let's go to the city together tomorrow."

"No, no."

"There's a lot to do in town."

"No, no."

"And the good food."

"No, no."

"There are so many beautiful women."

Ji Changkong glanced at her, bypassed her to the bedroom, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said, "You go out, I'm going to rest." ”

"I don't." Saying that, she rushed to Ji Changkong's bed and lay down, rolling on the bed and said, "If you don't go with me, I won't be able to lie here, see what you do." ”

Ji Changkong said helplessly: "Girl's family, you need to pay attention to your manners, and keep a proper distance from men, otherwise you will make people gossip." ”

Bei Ran flipped over, supported the bed board with his hand, straightened up, and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm with my husband, and others have nothing to say." Are you going or not? ”

Ji Changkong thought for a moment and said, "If you return to me the grass goldfish that you snatched from me before, I can think about it." ”

Bei Ran looked reluctant, frowned, and said, "Ah......? ”

After weighing it, she obediently went to her room, took the little goldfish, and sent it to Ji Changkong.

By the time she was leaving, Ji Changkong had already prepared some new hay on the table. As soon as she brought the object, she immediately took it, and then began to weave the fin that had not been finished before.

After a while, he was relieved when everything was done.

Seeing him pick up the goldfish, Beiran looked at it carefully, looking left and right, as if looking for something that was not perfect. So he tilted his head and asked, "Why does Sir care so much about this straw fish?" ”

Ji Changkong said: "She...... It's important to me. ”

Important? Bei Ran thought for a while, and hurriedly asked, "What about me?" ”

Ji Changkong was puzzled: "You? ”

Beiran looked at him expectantly and said, "Yes, me." ”

Ji Changkong glanced at her and said casually: "You go and copy the article that I taught you to read ten times yesterday." ”

“……”

Bei Ran rubbed his hair and went crazy, looking up to the sky and roaring: "Ahhh......h "I completely forgot that the question I had just asked had been cleverly avoided by someone.

Seeing her irritable appearance, Ji Changkong quietly turned his back, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile.

The smile is like the morning sun in February, melting the ice and snow, shining a trace of warmth in the cold winter of December, making everything revive and bloom.

Bei Ran came back to his senses and said, "That thing of going down the mountain to buy, did Mr. agree?" ”

Ji Changkong didn't answer directly, but said tactfully: "Since you are going to the city to buy, then pick a few helpers to go with you and help you get things then." ”

Beiran understood that he had answered, and said happily: "Okay." Then the gentleman will go with me to pick it out. ”

As she spoke, she pulled Ji Changkong's sleeves all the way to the outside of the hall, beckoned everyone to come over to gather in the open space in front of the door, and then reported their names one by one for Ji Changkong to choose.

One person stepped forward and said, "Childe, I'm Xiaoqi." ”

Another person stepped forward: "Hello Childe, I'm Xiaoba." ”

Another person said: "I'm Xiao Jiu." ”

……

After half an hour, they finally finished reporting. Ji Changkong listened to the names of these people, and suddenly felt like he had come to a huge digital army, and he was puzzled:

"Why do most of the people in the village have no names, they are all called by numbers."

Beiran was silent, and the seventeenth on the side explained for her: "Childe, that's the case." Miss has a bad memory since she was a child, there are many people in our village, and she can't remember all the names of all people, so she made up a number for most people and replaced the name with a number. ”

Miss said, Xiao Yi screamed and twisted his mouth, Xiao Er was like a shop guy, Xiao San listened awkwardly, and Xiao Si was a little strange. Therefore, starting with "five", the people in the village are named, and the number deduction is calculated according to the time of entering the village, and the earlier it is, the earlier it is said to enter the village. ”

Speaking of bad memory, Ji Changkong seemed to think of something unpleasant, his face became much gloomy, he nodded, and said, "I know." Then I ordered a few in the neatly lined line, and asked Bei Ran's opinion, and after she said it was okay, she went straight back to the room.
