Li Daitao

Yi Zhen's bowl of porridge quickly bottomed out.

After Qin Shu finished eating the porridge, he took another plate of steamed buns - not for Yi Zhen, and ate slowly, pretending not to see Yi Zhen watching eagerly.

Yi Zhen looked half at the bowl, and half at Qin Shu.Seeing that he seemed to be more energetic today than in the past, he felt relieved, he was interested in teasing people, and he was in a good mood, he was really lively like he should be at his age, much better than the lifeless before.Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that it was no big deal if I was hungry for a meal or two.

Qin Shu turned around and saw that he was staring at him in a daze, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling that he couldn't explain clearly.After thinking about it, I still asked, "Is Hou Ye not full?"

"I'm full." Yi Zhen cupped his hands on the teacup, looked at him and smiled.

Originally, with Qin Shu's temperament, he was a little soft-spoken, but if Yi Zhen told the truth and asked someone to bring some more snacks, the matter would be over.He will not make things difficult for him anymore, after all, here Yi Zhen is the master of this mansion, and he is the one who depends on others.

It's a pity that Yi Zhen really insisted on being stubborn.Hearing what Yi Zhen said, Qin Shu snorted softly, thinking that you must pretend to be sick, and you deserve to die of starvation.After tidying up a bit, I got up and went out.

"Where are you going?" Yi Zhen called out to him.

"Master Hou asked for leave and didn't need to go to the morning court. I still have things to do."

Yi Zhen paused for a moment, with some reluctance in his tone: "There's no need to rush for a while, you can take a day off once in a while, so don't get exhausted."

"I haven't finished writing yesterday's note, and it's hard to recall it. It's been a long time, and there are inevitably more things that were missed and forgotten. I have to write it now." Qin Shu said without turning his head.

"This way..." Yi Zhen changed his mind and said softly. "It's raining outside, so don't go out to blow the air. It's the same if someone brings a pen and paper to write here. It's much colder in the study room, and no one is there. No one will answer your request for tea."

"It's only a few steps away." Seeing that he didn't forcefully stop him, but instead took a step back, Qin Shu secretly thought he was a little surprised, and chuckled. "You are the only one left in this room, Master Hou. It is true that I am here to bring tea and water to Master Hou. Can you still ask Master Hou to pour tea for me?"

Yi Zhen nodded again and again, and could only pat his chest and swear: "I'll bring you tea and water, even if I spread paper and grind ink."

After Qin Shu listened, he turned his head to look at Yi Zhen, with a slightly weird look on his face.Yi Zhen pulled himself together and waited for his order with his ears pricked up.

At the end, Qin Shu smiled: "Master Hou, aren't you still recovering from your illness? Don't you feel dizzy now? Do you have strength?"

Yi Zhen was stunned, speechless.He hesitated and hawed for a long time without saying a complete sentence.

Qin Shu also didn't want to chatter with him, so he frowned in distaste: "Besides, Lord Hou is next to him, it's so noisy."

Yi Zhen grabbed the ladder and hurriedly stepped off the stage: "You write yours, I'm just here to watch, I promise not to disturb you..."

Qin Shu glanced at him, how could this be believed.Yi Zhen hastily shut his mouth.

Fortunately, Qin Shu didn't go out because of this, and asked someone to fetch a pen and paper, and spread the pen and ink on the outside room. Once he put his energy into it, he didn't care about Yi Zhen for a while.

Yi Zhen wanted to ask for warmth, to imitate the harmony of the piano.But he couldn't speak because he couldn't speak, so he looked outside behind the screen, only seeing Qin Shu's thin back sitting upright, and didn't look back at him at all.Yi Zhen circled around the room twice like a trapped animal, and finally calmed down, took out the chestnuts Qin Shu gave him yesterday, and peeled them out one by one.

When Qin Shu stopped writing and thinking, he heard a sobbing voice inside, and couldn't help being curious.I couldn't help but came over to take a look, the mouse didn't see it, it was seeing Yi Zhen concentrating on peeling the chestnut.

He just remembered this incident, no wonder Yi Zhen can say that he is not hungry with a smile on his face, so he kept this hand.If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have given it to him.

Qin Shu sat back at the table, thinking about it, he was still not angry, he held the pen in his hand, and unconsciously drew a big mouse stealing food on the empty paper, and then drew a tabby cat, pressing the mouse under the paw majestically. Next, this is the solution to the hatred.After painting these, I secretly smiled while looking at the painting, put the paper aside, and my mood improved a lot.

After finally finishing the whole text quickly, and gradually forgetting about it, Yi Zhen started calling him again: "Xiao Shu."

"Master Hou is so noisy. Take the tea on the table by yourself, and ask someone to bring you some snacks." Qin Shu was displeased, and turned around to see Yi Zhen standing behind him holding a plate, which contained peeled chestnuts, and paused for a while. , did not go any further.

Yi Zhen also knew that silent writing should not be distracted, but he was reluctant to let him be busy all the time, so he put up his face and didn't bother him, and he was expected to be annoyed.Therefore, he didn't mind his bad attitude, so he just put the plate on the corner of the desk, and flattered him: "Stop for a while, you eat millet."

Qin Shu looked at millet and then at him, quite surprised: "Did Hou Ye not eat it?"

"I've already tasted it, these are for you." Yi Zhen's expression was a bit unnatural.In the past, when eating grapes, someone peeled the skins, but this was the first time for others to peel millet seeds.He had all the strength, but peeling a few millet seeds made him feel as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and he was covered in sweat.Even though he was careful, he still peeled off several pieces. The ones that were crushed were too shy to show to Qin Shu, and he ate them all by himself, but the whole one was not willing to touch. Qin Shu finally put down his pen and stared at the millet for a long time. Slightly moved.After all, he didn't have much appetite, weighed two of them as a favor from Yi Zhen, and returned the rest to Yi Zhen: "Master Hou will eat by himself."

Yi Zhen hurriedly said: "No, no, no." Seeing that Qin Shu didn't refuse, he seemed overjoyed.Turning around the table and chairs where Qin Shu was sitting, he couldn't help but said, "You should also take a break, these things can't be rushed for a while, after the baby is born, you have plenty of time to sort it out slowly."

Qin Shu was silent, and sighed for a while, but was slightly in a trance.There was an unconcealable tiredness on his face, and he comforted the restless fetus in his womb with one hand.When he was concentrating, he even forgot that he was pregnant.At this time, when the spirit relaxed, I realized that the child was restless and uncomfortable.But he felt that he had no time to delay.

Many of the copies destroyed in the fire were orphans.Even if you run out of manpower, you can only do one or two of them.He couldn't bear these rare books to be extinct, and only wanted to restore as much as he could in the past two or three months.As for the future - he had never thought about what would happen to him after the child was born, he didn't want to think about it, and there was almost no room for imagination.

At this moment when Yi Zhen said this, he actually had a strange feeling, as if life could really go on forever, and it wasn't such a difficult thing.

Qin Shu shook his head secretly, throwing away the delusions that were inadvertently held in his mind.

"The emperor's move is really unwise. In any case, the efforts of the predecessors should not be wasted. It will do all harm to the country and the people." He has never complained about Emperor Jingwen, and at this moment he finally couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Yi Zhen didn't have a good impression of Emperor Jingwen, so he naturally echoed the words.

Qin Shu lost his mind for a while, looked at Yi Zhen again and couldn't help laughing slightly, and said to himself, "What am I talking about with you?"

"Why can't you tell me this?" Yi Zhen was slightly annoyed. "Let me tell you, although Master Hou doesn't like poetry and songs, he has read a lot of books. Of course he knows these things are important."

Qin Shu was surprised, and said oh first, he just realized that he was talking to Yi Zhen and said this casually, it didn't mean that Yi Zhen was ignorant.

Yi Zhen was sulking for a while, and finally took a breath: "I know these books are important, I'm just afraid that you are too tired." He murmured: "You don't need to rush at this moment. Your Majesty has sent an order to collect the books lost by the people. This time, Enke also has a lot of learned men. After the autumn examination, please ask His Majesty to gather people to sort out and edit it, which is faster than you can do it alone. When you really can’t find the whereabouts, you can write it again. gone."

"Okay." Qin Shu smiled at him, some of the palace's only copies might not be recognized by anyone, but Yi Zhen said so, Qin Shu did not take his kindness into consideration. "I hope that Lord Hou will persevere in the future, get rid of the heart of dissatisfaction, and make every effort to facilitate this matter."

Yi Zhen felt that there seemed to be an ominous meaning in these words.But can't tell what's wrong.For a while, I can only say yes, let's not talk about this topic.Taking the opportunity to push the bamboo paper away, he pestered him and chattered a few words, only saying that it was enough to do this morning, and he was not allowed to touch the pen, ink and paper again.

Inadvertently flipping out the painting, it was too late for Qin Shu to see it.He was physically inconvenient, so his movements were naturally not as fast as Yi Zhen's, so Yi Zhen took it over and unfolded it for a look.Qin Shudan's kung fu is first-class, and the cat and mouse are lifelike.Yi Zhen just gave a compliment, and when he took a closer look, he saw his name written on the mouse's body in small seal script, he couldn't help being stunned, and said awkwardly, "This is me?"

Qin Shu stretched out his hand to snatch it, and said, "I just drew it for fun."

Yi Zhen passed by in a flash.Looking at it again, I couldn't help being annoyed, and pointed at the painting resentfully: "Why did you draw a black cat to catch me?"

Qin Shu followed the direction of his finger and told him kindly: "Master Hou, that's a cat."

Yi Zhen handed the painting to Qin Shu, very annoyed: "This is clearly black." He didn't say the last sentence, your junior brother is called Xiao Hei, don't you remember it every day.Drawing me as a mouse doesn't count, and drawing a cat scratching me is also black. What does that mean?

Qin Shu was speechless, could it not be black when painted in ink?

Seeing that Yi Zhen was so angry that he showed an attitude of reluctance.Qin Shu was silent for a while, and his expression gradually became serious.

Yi Zhen was waiting to explain him clearly, when Qin Shu opened his mouth and said, "Master Hou, it's time for breakfast."

After finishing speaking, he left Yi Zhen behind, got up and walked to the door, and asked someone to bring the food here.

The food was the one given in the morning, and it was said to be lighter, so there were only four or five side dishes such as vegetables, tofu, and radishes, with two bowls of rice, a custard and a bowl of chicken meatballs, which were also specially made for Qin Shu.In addition, the fish is completely missing.

Yi Zhen didn't express any dissatisfaction, it seemed that even his temper just now had disappeared.

On the contrary, Qin Shu was a little surprised when he saw him calmly pick up the bowl. This man had been hungry all morning.I couldn't help but quietly looked at him a few more times, and then thought that there was indeed something wrong with me about painting this morning, so I pushed the custard over, tapped it with chopsticks, and signaled Yi Zhen: This is for you.

Yi Zhen scooped up a spoonful for him first, and scooped up a small spoonful himself.Only then did he slowly say: "You are very happy to play tricks on Benhou?"

Qin Shu lowered his head to pick up two mouthfuls of rice, and said calmly and vaguely: "Master Hou, you are overthinking."

"Really?" Yi Zhen smiled, looking at him tenderly: "Two days ago, I found a few pieces of paper in the study, calling me a villain or a jerk, and drawing me as a turtle bastard, do you know?"

Qin Shu was taken aback, thinking that he was secretly caught in the book in the farthest corner.How did he find out? He can bear it until now.But there was no expression on his face, he put down the bowl and responded seriously: "Is there such a thing? I don't know."

Yi Zhen looked at him and smiled: "Why do I feel that the word is exactly the same as today's?"

Qin Shumo wrote in block letters, and the words that scolded him were written in Xiaozhuan, so Yi Zhen caught him right now because of his carelessness.I could only regret my momentary carelessness, and simply turned my head away: "I don't know." I said in my heart that anyway, you know that I wrote it, and you still ask hypocritically, what do you want to do.

Don't be wary, Yi Zhen stretched out his hand and pinched his face lightly, then laughed softly: "Childish!"

Qin Shu was startled, turned around, and saw Yi Zhen's gentle and happy eyes, smiling contentedly and affectionately.

When he lost his mind, Yi Zhen rubbed his fingers on his cheek, reluctantly withdrew his hand, and knocked on his bowl: "Eat." He didn't intend to pursue it any further.
