The ancient farming life of liberal arts scum

Hu Qingyan was sitting in the main hall of Xun's other courtyard, looking at the young man opposite, feeling more and more like him.He took a sip of tea, barely calming down the excitement in his heart.

Shen Ge looked wary, "Brother Hu came here, do you still want to talk about the previous things?"

"I am from Annan Prefecture." Hu Qingyan smiled at him and said, "My little sister is named Hu Qingyao. She is actually my cousin, but my father gave her the name."

The name matched, Shen Ge relaxed slightly after being surprised, but the vigilance in his heart was still there.

Hu Qingyan kept his expression in his eyes, his eyes were far away, as if he saw him when he was a child again, he said: "My mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to me, and my father was sad and busy with business, so he never remarried. When I was three years old In the first year, my aunt came over and gave birth to Qingyao in the second year."

"My aunt treats me like a parent and child, and my relationship with Qingyao is also very good. My aunt died of illness when I was 15 years old. A year later, a new aunt came in. I was admitted to Jinshi, and in the second year I was assigned to a small school in Jingzhou Prefecture. I was a county magistrate in the county seat, and when I returned home later, I heard that Qing Yao was kidnapped during the Lantern Festival."

When Shen Ge heard this, the expression on his face changed, and Hu Qingyan continued: "It was too late when I heard about it, so I had to try my best to get someone to look for it, but unfortunately I couldn't find it again."

Hu Qingyan sighed, "Later we heard that my uncle is going to marry my younger sister to a businessman as his successor. I guess my younger sister won't come back because of this."

Shen Ge's mother's boudoir name was Hu Qingyao, but after she married into Shenjia Village, everyone only called her "Hong Cun's family", so apart from Shen Ge's father and son, no other person in Shenjia Village knew Shen Ge's mother's name. .

Shen Ge looked at Hu Qingyan's face, he was handsome and very masculine, completely different from Shen Ge, if he didn't say it, no one would think that the two were relatives.

Shen Ge was skeptical, based on just one story, it was impossible for him to recognize an uncle.

Seeing that Shen Ge was still silent, Hu Qingyan didn't know what to do, and the two sat opposite each other for a long time.

Hu Qingyan suddenly asked: "How is your mother?"

"My mother has already returned to the west."

Hu Qingyan looked at Shen Ge with painful eyes, and asked Shen Ge, "When did it happen? After all these years, I didn't know."

Shen Ge said in a low voice: "My mother left when I was one year old, and my father told me about many things afterwards."

Shen Ge is so young, it is not uncommon for him not to know what happened back then, Hu Qingyan asked, "Where is your father?"

"My dad died when I was 12."

"How have you lived all these years?"

"I was 12 years old at the time, and I was not too young in the countryside. With the help of my wife and uncle, I grew up like this after stumbled, and there was nothing sad about it."

"It's my fault for being late..."

"Brother Hu, don't say that. Although you and I are destined to be destined, there is an accident in everything. If Lingmei's experience is only partly similar to that of my mother, and she is still living in the world, Brother Hu recognizes me as a nephew. Wouldn't it be embarrassing when things happen?"

Hu Qingyan said decisively: "Your appearance is very similar to my little sister. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? You must be my nephew!"

Shen Ge shook his head, his eyes were sincere, "That's what I said, but there is no proof, how can I recognize relatives just by their appearance?"

Shen Ge didn't really believe that it was such a coincidence, maybe he was a well-prepared liar, no matter what, Shen Ge would not recognize his relative so easily.

Seeing that Shen Ge was on guard, Hu Qingyan couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Indeed, there is no basis for my rash visit to identify relatives."

Shen Ge was silent again, he decided to ask Li Mianyan to check his identity after Hu Qingyan left.

The two drank tea, Hu Qing said goodbye, Shen Ge went to see him off, and said: "I can't be careless in such a big matter of confessing relatives. I hope Brother Hu will not blame me for being rude."

Hu Qingyan waved his hand, "It's better to be more cautious. I'll look for something to confirm the identity of each other. I'll come back to see you in a few days."

Shen Ge nodded, "Next time I will treat you to a drink to make amends."

After Hu Qingyan left, Shen Ge looked at his back, feeling confused for a while.

If Hu Qingyan came to Shenjia Village and said that he was his uncle, Shen Ge's attitude would be much warmer, and no matter what, he would not be in the current embarrassment.

But Hu Qingyan was in the capital when he came looking for Shen Ge, and Shen Ge had just found out that his brother Xun was the Duke of a country, a big man who would shake the capital three times when he stomped his feet.It happened so coincidentally that Shen Ge had to think about it, especially now that Brother Xun was still in the south, dealing with the war.

Shen Ge didn't know what to do, so he went to Wu Yushi's house to look for him the next day.

It is now 26 years old, and the Imperial College is closed for ten days, and Wu Yushi happens to be at home.

When seeing Shen Ge, Wu Yushi was killing chickens.

As soon as Shen Ge entered the courtyard, he heard the scream of the chicken. Wu Yushi didn't have any feeling that "hearing its sound, he couldn't bear to eat its meat, so a gentleman stays away from the kitchen". He held the chicken between his legs and stood in the yard with the chicken. Life and death struggle.

Seeing that Mai'er and Liu'er were watching with open eyes, Shen Ge couldn't help laughing, "Brother, why are you killing chickens, sister-in-law?"

"Someone in her natal family got married, so I went to help. Brother, come quickly, and help me lift the chicken's feet. I'm not very agile."

Seeing Shen Ge, he quickly stepped forward and lifted the chicken's feet upside down to drain the chicken's blood.

In the cold weather, Wu Yu was sweating all over from time to time. He was afraid of getting his clothes dirty, so he couldn't move smoothly.

Shen Ge threw the blooded chicken aside, and Wu Yushi took the chicken blood back and brought out a large tub of boiling water at the same time.

When Maier and Liuer saw Wu Yu, carrying water, they came up curiously, and Wu Yu drove the couple away, "Maier, take your younger sister and stand aside, don't get burned."

Mai'er responded and led Liu'er away, but still watched his father kill the chicken with great interest.

The chicken was drained of blood and thrown to the ground. After a little struggle, the last trace of life was gone.Wu Yushifang rolled up his sleeves, sat on the pony tie, and scalded the chicken carefully in boiling water to remove the feathers.

Wu Yushi was a scholar after all, no matter how skillful he was, he was still cautious.

Shen Ge couldn't see it, and went over to help him lift the chicken, "Brother, you sit while I come."

"Don't," Wu Yushi smiled, "Learning is endless, and I will learn a little too."

So the two big men staggered in the cold wind to shed the feathers of a chicken of the opposite sex. Maier and Liuer came to join in the fun, plucking a little from time to time, which seriously hindered the work efficiency.

Shen Ge hadn't experienced this smoke and fire for a long time, and was extremely relaxed for a while.

After laughing at his senior brother's clumsy movements, he took the initiative to carry the chicken to the kitchen to disembowel it, and then quickly prepared to cook it.

It's okay for Wu Yushi to be robbed of the work at hand, and he nestles in a corner of the kitchen with peace of mind and acts as the fire master for Shen Ge.

Mai'er and Liu'er both had extra rice for their lunch, and they knew that the dishes made by their uncle were delicious, which made Shen Ge laugh again.

After eating, Wu Yu sent his sons and daughters to take a nap, sat in the living room and asked Shen Ge, "Is there something wrong, brother?"

Shen Ge nodded.

Wu Yushi is 26 now, and lived in Kunjiu County before the age of 22. He is eight years older than Shen Ge. When Hu Qingyao married into Shenjia Village, he was already a young man who could run and dance.

Master Wu and Shen Hongcun knew each other very early. When Shen Hongcun got married, Master Wu also helped to arrange it.

Shen Ge heard about these things later, and when he knew what happened back then, Wu Yu probably still remembered some inside information, so he came here.

Shen Ge said: "An elder found my place yesterday, he said it was my uncle."

"Didn't my aunt flee to Shenjia Village? Her relatives are still there?"

Shen Ge shook his head, "I'm not too sure, it should still be there." While speaking, Shen Ge told Wu Yushi what Hu Qingyan said.

Wu Yushi also said: "This is a bit of a coincidence, but it is not impossible. Where is that Hu Qingyan from? Who else is in the family? If you have time, go and see."

Shen Ge said: "The imperial examination is coming soon, how can I go now? I have asked someone to inquire about the news, and now I just want to ask my brother if you remember those things before."

Wu Yushi thought about it carefully, shook his head and said: "I still remember the appearance of my aunt. You are indeed very similar to her. As for other things, I have never heard of them. I was still a child at that time, and my parents didn't tell me about other things. Ah Brother, you might as well write to my parents directly."

Shen Ge wrote a letter last night to ask his master and wife, but communication between the two places is inconvenient, and it is the end of the new year, so it is estimated that he will not receive a reply until next spring.

Back then, Shen Ge's mother came to Shenjia Village in the name of escaping, and she didn't have any identity documents on her body. Later, when she settled down in Shenjia Village, her past was swept away, and Shen Ge had nowhere to check it.

Ran Suxuan was thinking about her family, and went home early, seeing that Shen Ge was there, she couldn't help being surprised, and hurriedly asked him to stay for dinner.

Shen Ge smiled and refused, now there is a curfew, if you go back late, you may have to be caught by the patrolling soldiers and beat the board.

Ran Suxuan didn't want to keep him anymore, so she hurriedly picked up several snacks brought back from her mother's house, put them in a basket, and asked Chen Ge to take them back to eat.

Shen Ge didn't delay, took the basket with a smile and said goodbye to them and went back to Xun's other courtyard.

The new year is approaching, and everywhere is bustling with activity. Seeing this situation, Shen Ge couldn't help thinking of the previous year.The previous year was just as lively. At that time, he and his brother Xun lived in Xunjiazhuang, and the New Year's Eve went to see plum blossoms.

Shen Ge doesn't have any other close friends in the capital except his brother's family, so he doesn't need to visit others, he just needs to stay at home to study.

Xiaowu and Xiaowen are both from Kyoto, so on the 28th, Shen Ge asked Xun Cheng to give them a few days off so that they could go back and reunite with their parents.

Shen Ge is used to doing things, and doesn't really need someone to take care of them. It's good to give these two teenagers a holiday during the New Year's Eve.

When Xiao Wu and Xiao Wen heard the news, they happily came over to bow to Shen Ge with smiles on their faces, "Young Master Shen, we will bring you Poria cakes to eat when we come back during the Chinese New Year."

Shen Ge has always been unassuming and doesn't order others. After staying with him for so many days, Xiao Wu and Xiao Wen are no longer afraid of him.

Shen Ge smiled and nodded, "Success, don't worry about this end, just go back and have fun for a few days."

Apart from Xiaowu and Xiaowen, many other people in the other courtyard were sent back by Shen Ge for the New Year, but the basic cooks and guards were still there.

After Xiao Wu and Xiao Wen went back, Manzi came to Shen Ge's side sooner or later to help him with some things.

Manzi will be seventeen years later. He has eaten well in the past two years, and he has been practicing boxing and kicking for a while, and he grows very tall and strong.If you only look at his sharp-edged face, you may not be able to tell that he is a peasant boy.

Manzi remained taciturn as always, Shen Ge sighed with a smile: "Manzi, you are so silent, how will you marry a wife in the future?"

Manzi replied: "I would like to serve my master for the rest of my life."

"What are you talking about? Could it be that I have carefully trained a good man and expect him to accompany me and be a servant?"

"Furthermore, there is no conflict between starting a family and starting a career. I am not a handicapped person, so how can I need someone to take care of me? If you have the heart, study hard, take the exams for talents and candidates, and then I will be satisfied."

Manzi's expression moved, Shen Ge patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "There is no one's goal in life, Manzi, don't underestimate yourself, as a teacher, the greatest expectation for you is that you can go far."

After Shen Ge said these words, Manzi seemed to be touched.Shen Ge felt a little relieved. He was worried that the barbarian would be on the edge of his horn and would revolve around him for the rest of his life.

On the 29th day of the year, Shen Ge stared at the book for a long time, turned off the light early and went to bed, and dreamed of his brother Xun in his dream.

Falling asleep, Shen Ge suddenly felt something was wrong, he always felt that someone was watching him.

Shen Ge woke up with a start, and when he opened his eyes, Fang found a dark shadow beside the bed.

The outline of this black shadow made Shen Ge very familiar. He hugged the quilt and looked at the other party, hesitatingly said: "Brother Xun?"

"Well, it's me."

Hearing this familiar deep voice, Shen Ge was instantly pleasantly surprised. He lifted the quilt and sat up, "Why didn't you call me."

"It's too late, I'm afraid I'll scare you." Xun Feiguang covered Shen Ge's quilt to prevent him from getting out of bed.

Shen Ge hurriedly stretched out his hand, and felt his somewhat cold hand as soon as he touched it.Xun Feiguang didn't know how long he sat on the bedside, even his hands were cold. ,

Shen Ge was taken aback for a moment, and took Xun Feiguang's hand with both hands, wrapping him around to make him warmer.

"Brother Xun, why don't you come up?"

"I haven't showered yet."

"It's so cold, what's the point of not taking a shower for a day." Shen Ge insisted that Xun Feiguang come up to rest.

Anyway, it was still warm in the bed, which was much better than sitting.

A smile flashed in Xun Feiguan's eyes, he took off his coat as he said, and went to bed with only his middle coat on.

Shen Ge moved inside, moved out most of the pillow and bed for Xun Feiguang, and rolled the quilt towards him.

Xun Feiguang pressed his hand, "Enough."

Shen Gefang stopped.

Shen Ge was lying next to Xun Feiguang, his nose was full of this person's breath, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

He was so nervous that he couldn't sleep anymore, and he didn't dare to disturb Xun Feiguang's rest, fearing that he hadn't slept for many days and would be very tired.

Shen Ge was suffocating there alone, full of words in his mind, and he didn't know what to ask Xun Feiguang, and what to tell him, but the excitement rose little by little, and finally Shen Ge looked at the tent alone in the dark , laughed silently for a long time.

I don't know if he heard the movement, but Xun Feiguang suddenly turned to lie on his side and asked, "Can't sleep?"

"There is a little bit." Shen Ge swallowed, and suddenly said: "Brother Xun, I have already figured it out, my heart is pleasing to you, not the kind of pleasing to my master, nor the kind of pleasing to my confidant, I just like you."

Shen Ge spoke in a very low voice and very fast, as if the words had been held in his stomach for a long time, and now he finally had an outlet, and poured them all out.

Xun Feiguang seemed startled for a moment, "Have you really thought it through?"

When Shen Ge heard him ask this question, for some reason, he suddenly approached boldly and pointed at his brother Xun in the dark as a kiss.

The night was not completely dark, there was a very dark crescent moon in the sky, and the lanterns hanging outside could leak a little bit of light.

Shen Ge stared at his brother Xun for a long time, and after such a kiss, he actually kissed his brother Xun firmly on the lips.

It's warm and soft, with a faintly lingering fragrance, and there's a shivering numbness when the breath hits the face.

It was Shen Ge's first time getting married, and he was nervous and apprehensive, and his mind was a mess, full of paste.

There seemed to be a little smile line on the corner of Xun Feiguang's mouth, he turned his back on the guest, and lightly tapped Shen Ge's lips and teeth with the tip of his tongue.

Shen Ge opened his mouth in a daze, and greeted his brother Xun in an all-round way.

The breaths of both sides intertwined, and the shuddering feeling rose from the tailbone to the top of the head.Half of Shen Ge's body was numb, he had never kissed anyone before, such a deep feeling almost dragged him to another world, because this world really has no words to explain.

Shen Ge's hand tightly grasped Xun Feiguang's lapel, and the two kissed for a while, then Xun Feiguang withdrew and kissed Shen Ge's eyelids tenderly.

Singer Shen leaned against his chest and whispered, "Brother Xun."

"Well, I'm here."

Xun Feiguang rubbed Shen Ge's smooth face with slightly rough hands, and all the embarrassment and strangeness now melted away in this warmth.

Although strictly speaking, Shen Ge had just confessed successfully, the atmosphere between the two of them was no longer shy, only tenderness remained.

Shen Ge took advantage of the situation and hugged his brother Xun's flexible and strong waist, and whispered: "Brother Xun, I miss you."

Xun Feiguang silently kissed his ear in the dark, "Sleep."

Shen Ge keenly felt that his breathing was not stable, and his body became hot, and he didn't dare to do anything else, and obediently curled up in Xun Feiguang's arms and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the second day, Shen Ge woke up first. He was lying on Xun Feiguang's neck a little lower, and Xun Feiguang's powerful heartbeat could be heard in his ears.

Shen Ge leaned against Xun Feiguang's arms, and could easily feel his firm chest and the reaction below.

Xun Feiguang was used to being vigilant, and after a few breaths after Shen Ge woke up, he was awakened, and he subconsciously closed his arms around the person in his arms.

"Brother Xun, happy new year, everything goes well."

Xun Feiguang said: "Well, you are the same, everything goes well."

Shen Ge really didn't expect his brother Xun to come back to spend this year with him, and he was full of surprises.

"Brother Xun, how late did you come to Beijing yesterday?"

"It's not too late." Xun Feiguang didn't say much.

He lay in bed for a while and then wanted to wash up. Shen Ge was reluctant to part with his chest, and whispered: "On the first day of the new year, it's freezing cold, shall we sleep again?"

"it is good."

Xun Feiguang said and lay down again.

Shen Ge stayed in the same bed with him, his body was covered with his breath, he felt extremely warm, and there was an indescribable sense of happiness in his heart.

The two fell asleep under the covers for a while, and Shen Ge woke up completely, "Brother Xun, have you finished the business in the south?"

Shen Ge didn't like to inquire about the military situation, so he just asked vaguely.

Xun Feiguang nodded, "The war has come to an end."

"How's that for an end, did you drive them out completely?" Shen Ge remembered after asking, and added, "Uh, don't tell me if you don't want to say it, I'll just ask casually."

"Not yet." Xun Feiguang said: "Yangyi colluded with Japanese pirates, and it was on the island outside. I took back the island that I lost earlier."

"Didn't you take advantage of the victory to pursue it?" Shen Ge sighed in his heart, what a pity.

Xun Feiguang said lightly: "The world is so big, it can't all be our domain."
