The ancient farming life of liberal arts scum

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Ge was dressed in new fiery red clothes, and knocked on Xun Feiguang's door early in the morning.As soon as Xun Feiguang opened the door, he cheered and congratulated: "Brother Xun, congratulations on the new year!"

Ordinary people wear red and mostly wear dark red. If it is not the general age, they would never dare to wear this fresh and tender color on their bodies, but Shen Ge's clothes are perfectly suitable. The red clothes set off the snow-white face, and the face is full of smiles. Not to mention how festive.

Xun Feiguang glanced twice, Shen Ge misunderstood his expression, and asked nervously: "Girl Luzhi said that I suffered a disaster for more than a year, so she asked me to wear red to protect against evil spirits. Why, is it not good-looking?"

"No, red suits you." Xun Feiguang said and handed him a red envelope, "Good luck."

Xun Feiguang's voice was already low, but it was even hoarse when he got up early in the morning, not to mention how magnetic it was.After listening to Shen Ge, his ears felt warm for no reason.

Xun Feiguang also put on new clothes, not as bright as Chen Ge, he only wore a moonlight brocade robe.His muscular figure against the clothes made him even more graceful.

Lv Zhi and Bu Lian are excellent in craftsmanship, and Shen Ge's new clothes are exquisite and meticulous, but they are too exquisite and have a bit of a childish look, far from the taste of a mature man like Xun Feiguang.

Shen Ge looked at his broad shoulders with envious eyes. If Xun Feiguang hadn't always been serious, he would have wanted to reach out and touch it.After all, not everyone can develop such a good figure. Even the celebrities who only ate this bowl of rice in their previous lives, there are few people who can have a healthy and smooth figure like Xun Feiguang, with a calm and elegant temperament.

Shen Ge's heart was about to move, Xun Feiguang said: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, is there any place you want to go?"

"No, I'm very sleepy." Shen Ge raised his hand to cover his yawn, pointed to his smooth and fair face, and sighed: "Look at me now, if it wasn't for the New Year's Day, I couldn't be lazy. The place I want to go the most is in the bed.”

Shen Ge's exquisite face almost pierced his eyes, Xun Feiguang glanced at him, "Lazy." Although he said disgust, his tone was full of intimacy.

Shen Ge muttered in a low voice, "I'm still growing, I need to sleep more to grow taller."

"Heretics!" Xun Feiguang said to him, and then asked, "How is your stature now compared to last year?"

"Grow about one knuckle taller, Brother Xun, have I reached your lips now?" Shen Ge stretched out a finger and then pulled him back, "Brother Xun, stand still and let me compare."

Xun Feiguang let him go, stood up straight and waited for Shen Ge to come closer.Shen Ge stood straight in front of Xun Feiguang, the top of his head really reaching the position of Xun Feiguang's lips.

The two stood so close that Xun Feiguang could kiss his forehead as soon as he lowered his head.

Shen Ge smiled brightly, and said to Xun Feiguang, "I'm right, I've grown a little."

He doesn't grow much, but his stature is not short at all. What makes Shen Ge most happy is that he has been growing, and it is estimated that he can grow taller in the new year.

Xun Feiguang said to him, "If you want to grow, eat more. Where does your cat food-like appetite grow?"

Shen Ge actually ate a lot, but it was less for his peers.Originally, when he was at his own house at the foot of the mountain, he ate three meals a day and ate more. After going up the mountain, Luzhi often brought him some snacks and dried fruits.

Shen Ge didn't dare to let Xun Feiguang know about this, otherwise he would have to receive the punishment together with Lu Zhi.

"Actually, I have already eaten a lot. This year I will definitely eat more, and strive to reach the height of your ears, Brother Xun."

"Do you want to compare with me?"

"Brother Xun, who told me that you are the tallest and most heroic among the people I know?" Shen Ge finished flattering sweetly, and hugged him forward, "Brother Xun, didn't you ask me if there is any place I want to go? have?"

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was fresh snow yesterday. How about we go up the mountain to see Hanmei?"

Green plums are a common condiment for dishes in this area, and every family can grow them, and Xunjiazhuang even grows a large area on the mountain.

Plum blossoms have been blooming for a long time, and they are still in flowering period.Plum blossoms and snow are blooming, and there is a faint fragrance lingering when you get closer. With the mountain scenery, it is not to mention how beautiful it is.

Shen Ge hadn't gone up the mountain to see the plums for many days, so he immediately agreed, "Go! Brother Xun, it's just you and me. Don't bring Brother Shao and the others this time."

Shao Xin was like Xun Feiguang's bodyguard. Before he came, Xun Feiguang went hunting and patrolling alone in the mountains, and nothing happened.After he came, whenever Xun Feiguang went out, he consciously followed Xun Feiguang around, almost inseparable.

Shen Ge felt fresh at the beginning, and most of the time he understood, but sometimes he really didn't want to go out with Xun Feiguang, and he would always follow people behind him, so he couldn't be clean.

Xun Feiguang followed suit, "Just you and me."

The two walked out of Xunjiazhuang.

Xunjiazhuang was originally on the mountainside, and no one came and went on weekdays, so it was extremely clean.Nowadays, during the Chinese New Year, people don't go out to walk around and do work, so when they look around, there is a sense of Zen that "thousands of people disappear".

Shen Ge walked briskly beside Xun Feiguang, breathing the fresh and bitter air, his whole body was refreshed, and the drowsiness disappeared long ago.

The two didn't speak, but they were familiar with each other, even if they didn't say anything, they just walked quietly like this, which was very comfortable.

Shaoxin got Shen Ge's eldest brother who had been called for more than half a year, and he cared about him in his heart, so he prepared a red envelope to give him early in the morning, and didn't want to go to his room to have a look, it was already empty.

Shao Xin turned around, turned around and saw Lu Zhi walking through the corridor, and quickly asked, "Where did Shen Geer go? I haven't seen anyone since early in the morning."

Lu Zhi smiled: "He went out with the master, does Commander Shao need to find him?"

"It's the New Year's Eve, where did it come from? I just wanted to give him a red envelope, but I couldn't find anyone." Shaoxin muttered to the side and still didn't feel satisfied, so he suddenly smacked and asked Luzhi, "Luzhi, don't you know?" Do you think Master and Shen Geer are too close?"

Lu Zhi said: "Shen Ge'er is good-looking, good-natured, and a scholar, who in Zhuangzi doesn't get close to him?"

"Don't play sloppy with me, don't you know what I want to say?"

Shao Xin is familiar with Lu Zhi, and he never hesitates to speak.

Shao Xin is careful, he just doesn't say many things, he already knows it in his heart, otherwise there are so many people on Xun Feiguang's side, he would not be able to stand out.

Luzhi replied in a low voice: "You can do as long as you know what you have in mind, why should I talk too much?"

Those who are close to Xun Feiguang know that Xun Feiguang likes men, but Xun Feiguang has never found anyone in these years, not even a male favorite. If Xu Lao didn't follow him, they would have to suspect whether the Lord had hidden diseases.

Xun Feiguang can have close people, they are naturally happy for the Lord.If it weren't for this, with their status and status, Shen Ge might not be able to catch their eyes as a young scholar, let alone love Shen Ge so much.

Originally, everyone only thought that Shen Ge was lively and good-looking, so the Po Winner treated him differently.Over the past half a year, watching the two get along, the Lord has always treated each other with the courtesy of a gentleman, but everyone felt that things might not be that simple.Most of their masters were really moved.Thinking about it going on like this, Lord Zhen is afraid that he will really want many husbands and wives.

Thinking of this, Shao Xin couldn't help but shudder slightly, and hurriedly put his thoughts behind him.

Shao Xin wandered around, but didn't get an answer, so he went back to the backyard to have a drink with his subordinates.

The year flies by very quickly, and it will be the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.

Elder Xu went to Xun Feiguang and Chen Ge once, and brought them a few bottles of pills.

"This medicine is mixed with some thousand-year-old ginseng that was dug out last time. It is the most nourishing and moisturising. Don't take a pill a day, and take good care of it. When autumn comes, the root of the disease on your body should be eliminated."

Shen Ge subconsciously refused after hearing Mr. Xu's words, "I'm in good health..."

Xun Feiguang interrupted him before he finished speaking, and said flatly: "Don't you want Qiu Wei? If you don't raise it well, what will you use to go to Qiu Wei?"

Elder Xu also said: "This is such a good thing that you can't even ask for it, why? Isn't it rare?"

Shen Ge didn't dare to answer these words, otherwise there would be a big misunderstanding, he hurriedly said: "It's because this thing is precious, I don't want to eat too much."

As a doctor, Mr. Xu couldn't see them young people not cherishing their bodies the most. Hearing this, he couldn't help blowing his beard and staring, "No matter how expensive things are, how can someone be so valuable? Master Xun specially asked me to make them for you. If you don't eat them, they will get worms? "

"Hey, no." Before Shen Ge could finish his sentence, Elder Xu stuffed the porcelain bottle into his hand, "Although you are young, you have lost a lot of money. If you don't take good care of it now, your life will be shortened in the future!"

Speaking of this, how could Shen Ge refuse, thanked Mr. Xu, and accepted the porcelain bottle containing the pills.

After Mr. Xu went back, Shen Ge quietly asked Xun Feiguang, "Brother Xun, if I take this pill, will your medicine be enough? Don't lie."

Shen Ge himself has lost his vitality, but Xun Feiguang's lingering poison is not cleared, no matter what, it is his side that is more urgent.

"You are such a small person, with such a big heart?" Xun Feiguang rubbed him, and said: "Put your heart back in your stomach. A ginseng that big is the combined pills of you and me. Take three pills." I can't finish it in five or more years."

Only then did Shen Ge agree, and said in his mouth: "I'll take these pills, Brother Xun, don't mention the matter of making up money for me again, I'll be part of the ginseng!"

Xun Feiguang smiled, but did not answer.

The county seat of Kunjiu County is relatively large. Every household in the county hangs lanterns during the Lantern Festival, and merchants and vendors will also prepare many lanterns for sale, not to mention that unmarried men and women and newlyweds will take to the streets with lanterns on this day. It will be lively.

Shen Ge had studied in Master Wu's school, and used to stay at Master Wu's house during the Lantern Festival. During such a festive season, the students would invite each other, walk together, and watch the lights and people.

This year, all the scholars will end in early autumn, and most of Shen Ge's classmates are here, so no one wants to arrange to watch the lanterns.

Shen Ge had this in mind for a long time, and had been urging Xun Feiguang to watch the lanterns on Lantern Festival.

Xun Feiguang has always been responsive to his requests, and upon hearing this, he ordered someone to pack up his things and went into the county together.

Xun Feiguang has a small courtyard in the county seat.

It is said to be a small courtyard, and there are three courtyards, adding up to a total of seventeen rooms that can live in people.Shao Xin and his subordinates, including Lu Zhi and Bu Lian, lived in a spacious room.

Because he wanted to watch the lamp, Xun Feiguang asked someone to pack it out early in the morning, and brought Chen Ge to live in the day before the Lantern Festival.

Shen Ge hadn't chatted with his classmates for a long time, and he was thinking too hard, so he told Xun Feiguang and went to find his classmates by himself.

Shen Ge mainly wanted to find Xiao Siyuan.Years ago he wanted to go to Xiao's house, but at that time Xun Feiguang was by his side, Shen Ge was afraid that he would be bored in Xiao's house, so he gave up that idea.

Now that everyone else lives in the county seat, it is only natural to spend a few hours visiting Xiao's house.

Xiao Siyuan was also very happy to see Shen Ge.Shen Ge also came to look for him in Xia Tian, ​​but at that time his grandmother passed away, and his whole family went there for the funeral, so the two just missed it.

After that, Xiao Siyuan wanted to go to Shenjia Village to visit him, but due to various things, he couldn't make the trip in the end.

The two grew up together since they were young, and their friendship is very deep. They haven't seen each other for so long, and they can't stop chatting.

With a pot of tea, the two chatted for half an afternoon.

Xiao Siyuan finally brought Shen Ge to his study and showed him the essays he had collected.

"Although you won't end this year, it's good to read more about it. Practice for a few years, and you'll be more confident."

Shen Ge shook his head with a smile, and told him, "I didn't want to end because of my poor health. Now that I have recuperated, I will probably end this year."

Xiao Siyuan was pleasantly surprised, "Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

"Whether I'm going to end or not depends on how well my article is doing. If I tell you now that I don't know what to do, and I don't end, wouldn't you say that I am changing the order day and night and repeating it over and over again?"

"You guy, is it possible that you can't talk to me?"

"Didn't I tell you this? I didn't even tell my master."

Xiao Siyuan smiled, spread out paper and rubbed ink on the spot, and stuffed the pen into Singer Shen, "I haven't seen your article for a long time, since you are going to end, then I will test you."

In the past few months, Shen Ge has been suppressed by Xun Feiguang to write an article every day, and the level of his subordinates has long been beyond comparison.He took the pen without the slightest fear, "You just pick out sentences and test me."

Xiao Siyuan was so aroused by him, he became more and more excited, reached out and took out a book from the shelf, opened one of the pages, pointed to the line of words in the middle, "If that's the case, you can make an article based on this sentence."

Shen Ge saw that the book he picked was "Mencius".Shen Ge has long been familiar with this book, so he doesn't even need to think about it at the moment, he just dips the ink into the pen, and the pen goes like a snake, and it's done in one go.

Xiao Siyuan was watching from the side, and at the beginning there was still a smile on his face, watching Shen Ge make a fuss leisurely.When Shen Ge's article became longer and longer, the lighthearted expression on Xiao Siyuan's face gradually disappeared.

Xiao Siyuan's expression became more and more serious, he muttered words, followed Shen Ge's pen and ink to read, at the end of the reading, he couldn't help clapping his hands and shouted, "Okay!"

An article of only five or six hundred words, Chen Ge finished it in about a cup of tea.What he wrote in his pen was wild grass, and he followed Mencius's articles. He saw that the sentences in the text were excellent, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Xiao Siyuan held Shen Ge's wet article with both hands, read it again and again, and said after a while: "Brother Shen, are you enlightened? This article is not the same as before!"

"Do you think I have enlightened?" Shen Ge asked with a smile.

"It's done. If you haven't enlightened yourself, there are not many people in the world who are enlightened. I think Brother Shen's article is excellent in conception and writing. If you end up, Qiu Wei will definitely be in high school!"

"It's hard to say. I'm only familiar with Master Meng's article. If you change another article, I may have to scratch my head."

Shen Ge was telling the truth, but Xiao Siyuan regarded him as modest, read and read his article, and finally sat down on the chair with a sigh.

"Brother Shen is talented, he is not as good as you as a brother."

"How can it be? I don't know how much better your article today is than in the past. There should be no problem with the end of this autumn. At least it will be a matter of course to marry Qiu'er."

Xiao Siyuan and Wu Qiu were in love with each other, but Master Wu said that he would marry his beloved daughter to Xiao Siyuan only after he passed the entrance examination, lest he lose motivation and make progress.

When mentioning this matter, Xiao Siyuan was rarely embarrassed.

Shen Ge didn't make fun of him either, and the two looked at each other's articles.

Shen Ge told him what Xun Feiguang had said: "My Brother Xun said that our Autumn Examiner may be young and vigorous, and would like articles that show their sharpness. Brother Yuan, you might as well pay more attention to articles in this area."

Xiao Siyuan's family background was average, so he was unable to know the news about the chief examiner. Hearing this, he couldn't help asking, "The source of the news is reliable?"

"Of course it's reliable, otherwise I wouldn't dare to tell you."

Xiao Siyuan was a little embarrassed, and explained, "Brother Shen, I don't doubt you, but this matter is very important, so I have to be cautious. Who is the examiner for this year?"

"It should be Shixia." Shen Ge whispered to him.

Xiao Siyuan is not only Shen Ge's good friend since childhood, but also Mrs. Wu's prospective son-in-law. No matter how you look at it, he is his own person, so Shen Ge naturally does not hesitate to share news with him.

"Brother Yuan, this matter is very confidential. This word comes out of my mouth and into your ears. Don't let a third person know."

Xiao Siyuan assured with a solemn expression: "I know about this, it is a great kindness for you to tell me the news, I will never let a third person know about today's conversation."

Among other things, there are only so many candidates. If everyone knows the news, he will be the one who might be squeezed out.Xiao Siyuan is still waiting to marry Wu Qiu after passing the exam, so of course he won't keep his mouth shut on this kind of matter.

Shen Ge patted him on the shoulder, "There is no need to say more about heretics, brother Yuan, you just need to pay attention."

Xiao Siyuan knew that there was a powerful adult beside Shen Ge, and although he didn't know the inside story, he also understood that it was his advantage that he could get the news today.He felt emotional in his heart, and it was hard to say anything under the great kindness, so he just nodded again.

Shen Ge bid farewell to Xiao Siyuan, went back to the other courtyard of the Xun family, saw Xun Feiguang waiting for him for dinner, and felt warm in his heart.

"Brother Xun, don't wait for me next time, just eat earlier by yourself."

"Well. What did you chat with your classmate today so late?"

"Talk about Wenwen, talk about Qiuwei, I told him the news you told me, shouldn't it matter?"

"It's just the examiner's name, it doesn't matter."

After Xun Feiguang asked a few words, he didn't say anything more, and greeted him for dinner.

On the second day of the Lantern Festival, every family made lanterns. Shen Ge learned how to paint, bought a lantern with a skeleton, and happily painted the lantern paper on the outside at home.

Xun Feiguang saw that the paintings he drew were quite weird, so he took the unburnt charcoal sticks from the kitchen to draw them, and couldn't help but look at them a few more times, "What are you painting?"

"It's just ordinary flowers and plants. My paintings will be more three-dimensional. Brother Xun, you'll know after a while." Shen Ge drew more seriously with the intention of offering treasures in his heart.

Nearby are clusters of flowers, and in the distance are Xiaoqiao people's houses. Xun Feiguang stared at Shen Ge's paintings slowly taking shape.

Shen Ge sketched the prototype with charcoal, and then painted with cinnabar and other materials. After a long time, he finally drew a colorful painting.

"How?" Shen Ge's eyes sparkled, and he asked Xun Feiguang holding up the unfinished painting.

"The painting is unique, but it's a pity that the craftsmanship is too heavy."

Xun Feiguang has always been talkative, and he doesn't tact just because of people close to him.Knowing his temperament, Shen Ge didn't take it seriously. After drying the painting carefully, he happily put it on the lantern.

His painting is really craftsman, and it is really beautiful.The colors are elegant, the flowers and plants are vivid, and the cottages in the distance are also very chic.

Shao Xin happened to come looking for him, and was surprised when he saw him, "I really didn't expect Shen Ge'er to have such a skill, you are indeed a genius."

Taking advantage of Xun Feiguang's inattention, he hooked Shen Ge's shoulder and whispered, "Why don't you draw a picture for brother?"

As an ordinary person, Shao Xin still liked the lively and beautiful paintings drawn by Shen Ge, so he rolled his eyes immediately and asked for a painting in a low voice.

"It needs to be used at night, and it may not be too late now."

Shao Xin embraced him, "I don't want to draw a lantern if it's too late, you can draw a fan for me, just like this, after the painting is finished, brother will thank you very much, how about it?"

Shen Ge agreed.

As soon as Xun Feiguang turned his head, he saw them crossing their shoulders and murmuring something.He said lightly: "Can you make arrangements for your trip at night?"

"Don't worry, master, it's already done."

Xun Feiguang ordered, "You take Lv Zhi and Bu Lian for a stroll at night, and you don't have to follow me and Shen Ge."

"Yes." Shao Xin looked left and right, didn't want to stay too long, and went out after answering.

Xun Feiguang looked at Shen Ge's paintings again and again. He is a good hand among them, so he can naturally see the way.However, these things are easy to see in other people's paintings, but it is even more difficult to figure them out by yourself.

Xun Feiguang looked at Shen Ge with deep eyes.

Shen Ge didn't hide his thoughts from him, seeing that he was interested, he grabbed a charcoal pencil and introduced to him on the spot.

These knowledge are superficial painting knowledge.Shen Ge took painting classes in his previous life, and he also took painting basics in college. His skills are not very exquisite, but his theories are one set after another. He can't stop talking about painting.

Xun Feiguang is not very human, he has been immersed in this way for a long time, and he can understand every bit of Chen Ge.

One person talks about one painting, and under the cooperation of the two, the paintings under Xun Feiguang's brushes gradually become very flexible, with perspectives from far and near, high and low.

"Interesting." Xun Feiguang couldn't help commenting.

Shen Ge looked at him in admiration, "That is to say, Brother Xun, you have this ability. If you change someone else, how can you get started so quickly? Brother Xun, when did you learn painting?"

"Three years old? Four years old, when my father held my hand and taught me personally, so many years have passed in a blink of an eye."

Seeing his expression, Shen Ge felt a little lost in his heart for some reason, and couldn't help but heaved a sigh.

Xun Feiguang laughed, "I'm talking, why are you sighing?"

"I feel bad." Shen Ge said, "I also think of my parents."

What Shen Ge was talking about was his parents in the previous life. In the blink of an eye, it seemed that many years had passed. Looking back, the voices and smiles of his parents were a little strange.
