The peasant boy of crossing

Li Xinyi said: "A Su, when you go to Hangzhou, can I go with you?"

Wu Su was eating the vegetable buns brought by Li Xinyi at this time, when he heard the words, he accidentally choked, and his cheeks flushed immediately.

Li Xinyi quickly poured him a cup of tea, and said, "No matter how delicious it is, take it slow."

After Wu Su drank a cup of tea, he calmed down and asked, "Is the injury on your shoulder healed?"

Li Xinyi poured herself another cup of tea: "Good morning, it's the same as before the fall, but it's flexible."

As he spoke, he shook his right hand, "The doctor said it's all right."

Wu Su reached out and pressed Li Xinyi's right shoulder.

Li Xinyi was caught off guard and couldn't hold back a muffled snort.

"Is this good morning?" Wu Su looked at Li Xinyi suspiciously.

Li Xinyi tried her best to smile sincerely: "It was alright, but I didn't sleep well last night, and fell off the bed, and my skin was blue."

Wu Su said: "Should you tie yourself up before going to bed in the future? You can't even sleep honestly."

Li Xinyi said: "You don't need to be tied up, you can sleep on the floor."

Wu Su ate two buns in a row before stopping his chopsticks.

Li Xinyi said: "I can drive a car, cook and cook food, have experience in long-distance travel, and can take care of you on the road. It's really not a loss to bring me along."

Li Xinyi added: "Anyway, I'm always going. Wouldn't it be more unsafe to travel alone by then? Let's go together so we can take care of each other."

Hearing this, Wu Su agreed, and said, "As soon as the [-]th of July is over, we will leave on the morning of the [-]th. There is no need to prepare carriages and horses. You can bring your own clothes and bags, and come directly to my house."

Li Xinyi really showed a sincere smile this time: "A Su, thank you, you have both virtue and talent, you have both ability and integrity, you will definitely be nominated for the list."

Wu Su coughed uncomfortably: "There is no need to thank you between us."

At this moment, Butler Wu came over and said to the two of them, "Mr. Li, please move, the master is waiting in the middle hall."

Wu Su gave Li Xinyi a surprised look, and Li Xinyi whispered, "It's just about painting."

Then he followed Butler Wu out.

Wu Su sat alone for a while, looking at the three buns left on the table, and took the buns to the kitchen.

"Auntie, please reheat it in the afternoon so that I can eat it as a snack."

The cook took the plate and said, "Aside from steamed stuffed buns, is there anything else the young master wants to eat?"

"No, thank you, auntie."

Wu family hall.

After meeting each other, Li Xinyi said: "Uncle Wu, this junior thought hard last night, thinking that he is not talented enough to be highly regarded by Uncle Wu."

Father Wu said: "Hey, nephew, don't be too modest. Your painting skills are obvious to all, and it is not difficult to draw this logo."

Li Xinyi didn't want to argue with Wu's father, so it's better to draw a few more pictures if she has this skill, so she said: "Since it's not difficult, you might as well give it a try, and ask Uncle Wu to explain it in detail."

Wu's father said: "My nephew can draw pictures of tea trees, tea leaves, tea making, tea making and other series of pictures, so that guests can understand how the tea in Jingning is different from other places, and how elegant it is."

Li Xinyi then dipped her hands in water and drew a few simple strokes on the table, only to see a steaming tea cup jumping up: "It's just these?"

Father Wu nodded and said, "That's all."

Less than half a month before July [-]th, Li Xinyi began to get busy.

He hasn't touched a paintbrush for a long time, and he feels a lot rusty when holding a brush.

After picking up the pen and dipping the ink and walking back and forth on the paper, I gradually found the feeling of painting before.

Li Xinyi's previous paintings focused on artistry and were relatively free.This is the first time I paint a commercial painting for the Wu family, and I inevitably feel restrained and limited in my creation.

And he doesn't have much experience in painting commercial paintings. When he thinks of commercial paintings, his first reaction is Andy Warhol and his pop art.

But obviously, farming culture and industrial culture are two cultural models, which cannot be generalized.

Li Xinyi was so worried that her head was going bald.

With a bald head, he still decided to paint according to his original creative habits.

Draw it first, and then decide how to change it, otherwise you will never get a finished draft.

Here, since Wu Su agreed to Li Xinyi and agreed to go to Hangzhou with him, he has also become busy.

In the past, he only cared about how the article should be done, what style the examiner prefers, and whether the intention is to be calm or radical.

Every time before the exam, he would discuss with Mr. Ji and several scholars in the countryside who were also preparing for the exam.

According to the regulations, after passing the children's examination, Wu Su can enter the county school to study and prepare to take the higher-level examination.

However, not every scholar will enter school.

Some scholars think that their talents are limited, and after being admitted in the Tongsheng Examination, they go to open a Tongmeng Hall to recruit students.

There are also some scholars, such as Wu Su, who have hired a teacher at home, so naturally they don't have to squeeze together with other scholars to fight for their master's teaching.

Especially Wu Su doesn't like dealing with those sour people.

This is not to say that being a scholar is equal to sourness. Wouldn't that be scolding Wu Su himself?It's just that some people are too utilitarian, open their mouths to stereotype, and keep their mouths shut.

But I don't talk about anything that has nothing to do with the imperial examination, and I don't read anything except the books of sages.

Wu Su is very tired of this kind of person, but this kind of person feels that he is superior to others. If you have no fame, you will use a sour tone to mock self-righteously, as if he is the real reincarnation of Wenquxing.

So like Uncle Wu, who won the talent and went to make a fortune, that is really a maverick in the Qingliu, but he doesn't care about these false names, he still acts like before, even if he is just an accountant, his abacus skills , is also a leader among the accountants.

Wu Su refused to enter the county school, and the Wu family did not make it difficult for him. Wu Su was able to continue studying with Master Ji.

Occasionally meet someone worthy of friendship, and don't treat them with a biased attitude.

In short, Wu Su's daily life is basically insulated from those secular life.

Therefore, Wu Su changed from his usual indulging in study and unable to extricate himself, and instead cared about the cost of food and clothing, which surprised the women of the Wu family.

"Mother, the weather is hot, you should prepare more Huoxiang and borneol on the way."

Mother Wu said helplessly: "Of course these will be prepared. When did you go out, I didn't ask someone to prepare them?"

Wu Su nodded and went out.

In the afternoon of the next day, there was a shower, and Wu Su came over again.

"Aunt, it's rainy in summer, so you need to prepare more rain gear, a change of clothes, and sliced ​​ginger on the road."

Wu's mother had a loving mother's heart: "Naturally, these must be prepared, so you can rest assured."

Xia Ye was the time when mosquitoes were rampant, and Wu Su was accidentally bitten by a mosquito on the back of his neck.

Wu Su: "Mom, mosquito repellent cream?"

Mother Wu: "..."

Before Wu's mother could speak, Wu's father couldn't help it: "There are all kinds of inconveniences when traveling abroad. I have never seen you so delicate before. Are you going to carry the whole family on your back?"

There was a sudden silence all around.

Mrs. Wu said: "This is a rural exam, so it's normal for Su'er to be nervous. Besides, what should be prepared is to prepare everything, otherwise how will you end up if you are sick?"

Mother Wu rounded things up and said: "Su'er is not young anymore, it's time to practice more. Don't worry, old lady, I've ordered everything to be prepared, not to mention going to Hangzhou, even Jinling. "

Wu Su also felt that he was too nervous these days.

Master Ji advised him to put down his books for the next few days and practice more boxing and kicking skills.One is that the road to the exam is difficult, and only a strong body can have energy.The second is to relax by practicing boxing and kicking, so as not to be too nervous and affect the performance.

On this day, Li Xinyi brought the painting she had made to look for Father Wu.

Then, in the small garden, I saw Wu Su straddling his horse.

As soon as Wu Su saw Li Xinyi, he immediately got up.

Li Xinyi was curious: "Why are you in a horse stance?"

Wu Su said: "Practice some boxing and kicking skills with Master these two days."

Li Xinyi didn't know that Mrs. Ji could actually use boxing skills: "Then have you practiced it yet?"

Wu Su said: "Master said that I will be leaving in two days, so I just let me walk on horseback. I will teach me boxing after I come back from the township examination."

Wu Su looked at the painting in Li Xinyi's hand and asked, "What did you paint this time?"

Li Xinyi then unfolded the painting in her hand, one was dried tea leaves and brewed black tea.

The other one is a tea garden, where the tea leaves are lush and verdant.

Wu Su praised: "It's very beautiful."

Then he said: "My father is in the study, you can go to the study to find him."

Butler Wu has already come up to greet him.

So Wu Su continued to tie his horse.

When Li Xinyi came back and passed by the small garden, Wu Su was sweeping the floor.

Li Xinyi asked curiously, "What are you doing again?"

Wu Su said: "Master said that on the first day, you can spend up to half an hour on horseback riding, and then half an hour on sweeping the floor."

Li Xinyi was a little surprised: "What about after sweeping?"

Wu Su said, "Practice Tai Chi."

Li Xinyi: "..."

He really doesn't understand the ancient teaching methods.

Li Xinyi knew a set of military boxing, and was a little hesitant to teach Wu Su, but after thinking about it, maybe his master taught Wing Chun, he, a layman, should not mislead his disciples.

In fact, Taekwondo is also good, but the leg pressure is too painful.

The number of times he and Wu Su met these days has increased, Li Xinyi couldn't help rubbing her little hands secretly, should she start flirting first, or ask him about his sexuality first.

Hi, it's really hard to choose.

The seventh day of July is Qixi Festival.

"Like Altair, Jiaojiaohe Han girl."

Originally, this festival had nothing to do with Li Xinyi.

He has no lover, and he is not a girl. No matter how lively the Qiqiao Festival is, he doesn't have many books to post.

Mother Li dried his clothes at home and packed his bags by the way.

Li Xinyi teased the cat with a dog's tail grass.

"Today's Qixi Festival." Mother Li said.

Li Xinyi nodded, thinking about what gift to give Wu Su.

Since Wu Su accepted the steamed buns he gave last time, he now thinks that everything he sees can be used as a gift.

Li Xinyi looked at Xiao Huang who was poking the dog's tail grass with her paw, and thought it would be a good gift to give a raccoon cat.

They are clingy and act like a baby.

Here A Cui meowed threateningly.

So Li Xinyi gave up Xiao Huang and started teasing A Cui instead.

"Today's Qixi Festival." Mother Li emphasized it again.

Li Xinyi said: "It's Qixi Festival, what's wrong?"

Mother Li said, "Let me teach you how to sew."

Li Xinyi was a little dumbfounded: "No, Auntie, you have taught me before, and I can thread needles very easily now."

Li's mother said: "Knowing how to embroider is not enough, I will teach you today, mother, how to tailor clothes."

The author has something to say: Li Xinyi: "I can't embroider, I can't."

Wu Su: "I'm so worried, I want to take everything with me."

Mother Li: "If my son doesn't marry a wife, he can only do his own sewing."
