My country is dead again [Rebirth]

As expected, it was raining in Jiangnan throughout April, and the government has been busy with disaster relief. Xie Ruzhuo would go out to investigate the situation from time to time. It can be seen that the imperial court is quite concerned about the disaster situation, and the money and food for disaster relief have been in place. Xie Ruzhuo came to check the disaster relief situation in person, among them was Du Ruo's student Ye Huaishan, who did it in an orderly manner, and Xie Ruzhuo hid back home leisurely.

Shen Che and Ye Xinmei were trapped at relatives' homes and couldn't come back, but they wrote a letter to report that they were safe, and they also wrote back to ask the two elders to stay there for a while, and wait for the flood to pass. As soon as Shen Ci arrives to pick them up, let's play together.

For a month, Xie Ruzhuo and Shen Ci could only be forced to stay at home, and it was boring to compete with each other. For Shen Ci, there was nothing he could do while staying at home. Otherwise, he can only cook, wash and clean the house, and Xie Ruzhuo is getting bored. In the past, there were many chores in the palace, and he worked hard every day, which would not be boring, but now he is relaxed, and it is really not interesting to cultivate his body every day.

So Xie Ruzhuo could only stare at Shen Ci's copybook, dragged him to accompany him to play the chess score, and finally tortured Shen Ci to the point of crying, really wanting to stop the rain.

"You didn't write a few words, how could you be tired?" Xie Ruzhuo pressed his hand, "You used to march and fight so hard that you didn't feel tired, but writing a few words will make you exhausted?"

Shen Ci really couldn't bear the days when his eyes were full of words, not only had to write but also memorized, it was absolutely miserable, and said: "Please let me go, I'm really not suitable for this."

Xie Ruzhuo also felt that everyone was really tired, and sighed: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Shen Ci originally wanted to say that it would be better to make dim sum together, but then remembered that Xie Ruzhuo could break the bowl when washing the dishes, so it was better not to spoil the good dim sum, so he swallowed the words again, after a lot of hard thinking, there was no result, so he had to admit He and Xie Ruzhuo are really not the same in terms of interests.

"Apart from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what else do you usually do in the palace?" Shen Ci asked rhetorically.

"Read a book, read a playbook, watch Xie Mingting read, and accompany Xie Mingting to practice riding and archery." Xie Ruzhuo said solemnly, "Then talk about political affairs with the courtiers who come to the palace, or chat with your companions."

It was a useless question to ask, Shen Ci patted his hand and said: "It's not that my life is boring, it's because you have nothing to do."

"Then what do you usually do?" Xie Ruzhuo was still a little unconvinced, "Since you don't like what I do, then I will do what you like. Anyway, there are still things I don't know?"

"When I was in the capital..." Shen Ci thought for a while, "I was in the three camps during the day, and I was with you at night."

Xie Ruzhuo asked again: "What about before? When you were in Nangu?"

"At Pei Yunjing's place during the day, go back to sleep at night."

"What about when you are resting?" Xie Ruzhuo said, "Your life is more boring than mine!"

"Go home and accompany Master and Mistress during the break."

"So you have no interest at all, and I'm cultivating interest for you now."

"I'm interested!" Shen Ci retorted, "Riding horses and archery fights, don't they count?"

"But you see that it's raining now, and you can't do it. We need to have a quiet interest." Xie Ruzhuo sighed, "Then what did you play when you were young? I was really boring when I was young, and I didn't play anything."

"I learned horseback riding and archery in the military camp, and I fought with people and broke my wrists." Shen Ci recalled, "If I go out to play, I go to the river to touch fish and shrimps, go for a swim, go to the mountains to catch hares, and pick wild fruits..."

Xie Ruzhuo's eyes lit up, he had never done any of these things, it sounded very interesting, but he had already missed that age, touched his earlobe twice, leaned over to hold Shen Ci's arm, and said: "We can't wait for the rain, Can you do this with me? I haven't done it yet."

"I'll accompany you whatever you want." Shen Ci also twitched his earlobe twice, "As long as it's something you haven't done before, we'll do it all to make up for it."

Xie Ruzhuo rubbed against him with a smile, and then fell into deep thought again, thinking about what to do now, recalling the things Shen Ci said earlier, and said: "I heard that boys like fighting crickets when they were young. Brother Huang and my two younger brothers have also played, don't you want to play?"

"I've played it too, but the young master from a rich family should like it more." Shen Ci said, "Sometimes I have to spend hundreds of taels to buy a powerful cricket, which I can't afford, so I occasionally play with the barracks. people playing around."

Xie Ruzhuo crossed out horseback riding and archery in his mind, and thought, "I'm sure I won't fight, why don't you... wrestle your wrists?"

Shen Ci felt that there was no difference between the two, and said, "Are you sure? Arm wrestling? With me?"

"I can draw the heaviest bow! My arm strength is not bad!" Xie Ruzhuo snorted, "Don't underestimate me."

The two of them moved away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, moved two stools and sat facing each other, put their right hands on the table, and held each other, Shen Ci said: "In case you say again that I won't let you, I will Don't use your strength first, break me, if you can break me, you will win."

Xie Ruzhuo felt insulted, and said angrily, "You wait."

After the words fell, Xie Ruzhuo gritted his teeth and began to exert force, tightly gripping Shen Ci's hand, his whole forearm trembling slightly due to the force, he could feel that Shen Ci did not exert force, but it seemed that he To make matters worse, he gritted his teeth so hard that his jaw hurt, Shen Ci's hands were motionless, and when he looked up, he saw that this man still had the energy to smile there.

Xie Ruzhuo didn't believe in evil, and tried harder to break Shen Ci's hand, trying to bring it to his side, sweat dripped from his forehead, and the tiger's mouth between the two of them was also reddened by him. Nothing has changed.

Shen Ci was afraid that he would bend his hand with the wrong force, so he exerted a little force and gently knocked down Xie Ruzhuo's hand. The palms of both of them were already sweaty. Of course, Shen Ci's hands belonged to Xie Ruzhuo.

"You lied to me!" Xie Ruzhuo said indignantly, "You must have used your strength."

"I really didn't!" Shen Ci said helplessly, "Then I change my left hand?"

Xie Ruzhuo regained the strength in his hands and hummed, "Come on!"

Shen Ci didn't expect that the two of them finally broke their wrists at home. It was also a miracle, but there was nothing left and right, so it was a relief. He gritted his teeth first.

Xie Ruzhuo really worked hard this time, with sweat dripping from his forehead. Every time he saw Shen Ci's hand being moved a little, his eyes filled with joy, but the next moment he realized that it was useless at all. His, he was so angry that he yelled: "No, no, no! You bullied me!"

Shen Ci simply let go of his strength, let Xie Ruzhuo drop his left hand, raised his sleeve to wipe Xie Ruzhuo's sweat, and said with a smile, "Why am I bullying you again?"

"You just bullied me." Xie Ruzhuo pouted, "You bullied me on the bed, and you bullied me off the bed."

Shen Ci was choked by him, tilted his head and coughed twice, and said, "Didn't I let you in bed? But you can't?"

"You still have the nerve to say it!" Xie Ruzhuo frowned again, "If you teach me, you just, just..." As he spoke, his cheeks flushed, and he stomped his feet angrily, "You know how to bully me."

Shen Ci really liked him so much, he was so cute that his heart melted, he squeezed his red cheeks, and said: "But you didn't learn it after teaching, of course you can only be bullied by me."

Xie Ruzhuo licked his lips, as soon as he was shy, many unspeakable images flooded his mind, sat on Shen Ci's lap, and whispered in his ear: "Then tonight... are you going to bully me?"

Two days ago, Xie Ruzhuo was drenched in some rain, and his body was not very comfortable. Both of them slept peacefully at night. Now Xie Ruzhuo is in good health, and Shen Ci is still calm. Leaning over, he whispered in his ear, "How do you want me to bully you?"

Xie Ruzhuo became even more ashamed, hid in his arms, and said falteringly: "It's all right..."

Anyway, don't you bully me every time...

There was still a long time before dinner, and in order to pass the time, the two finally took out the six boxes they had brought from Beijing, three boxes contained stones, and three boxes contained letters.

Xie Ruzhuo opened each letter one by one, read the words in the letter with Shen Ci, and recalled how much he missed each other at that time. When reading every word in the letter, he still had the feeling of the past vividly. Such deep affection has not changed over time. And subside.

On weekdays, Shen Ci seldom talks about love, but he has no scruples in his letters. Sometimes he writes more nasty than Xie Ruzhuo. Xie Ruzhuo deliberately picks these words for Shen Ci to read. In the end, I wrote the sentence "I read you a thousand times today." After reading it three times, Shen Ci felt embarrassed, and went to open Xie Ruzhuo's letter, and thanked Ruzhuo to read the words that were nasty.

At the beginning, the letters written by both of them were very polite, restrained and reserved, and even Shen Ci was written with a bit of literary talent. It took several days to write each letter, but the letters they wrote later were very casual. Saying what comes to mind, unpretentious, has become the most straightforward mutual confession of love.

The two forced each other to read, and the explicit love words didn't sound so nasty anymore. Instead, they laughed. Xie Ruzhuo always wanted to play tricks and refused to read, so Shen Ci scratched his waist. This is extremely sensitive for Xie Ruzhuo. Every time I couldn't bear it, I rolled around in Shen Ci's arms, shouting "You bullied me again", but I laughed because of the itching tears, and finally I was forced to pick up the letter and read the line "Last night Dreaming of you kissing me, I miss you more and more, remember to kiss me every day when I come back."

Shen Ci lowered his head and kissed him, saying: "I kissed him today."

Xie Ruzhuo blushed again, took out a letter, read on the letter, "Going to northern Xinjiang and passing Langshan, recalling the past, yearning like crazy", he suddenly felt even more ashamed after just a few words, seeing The rest is all about how I miss him, slapped the letter on Shen Ci's face, cleared his throat and said, "Read this letter."

Shen Ci read it obediently, grabbed his hand, and said, "Let's go to Langshan next year after seeing the peach blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River. I miss the peach blossoms there."

Back then they were still hiding from each other about their rebirth, when they slipped out of the capital to enjoy the peach blossoms for the first time, Xie Ruzhuo's feet were worn out, Shen Ci carried him all the way, at the water's edge he saw the desire surging in Shen Ci's eyes , and then went to Nangu to find Master and Mistress together, the years were as peaceful as now, it seemed that all the happy endings had been foreseen in this life at that time.

"Okay." Xie Ruzhuo squinted his eyes, "By the way, go to Beidi to play. The beef and mutton from Zhabusu's house are really delicious."

Anyway, they used to go to Zhabusu's place to eat and drink, and Shen Ci followed him to practice thick skin, nodded and said: "Go."

Xie Ruzhuo went to open the box containing small stones. Later, when they returned to Pingdu, when Shen Ci went out to fight, he would still send back stones along with the letter. Three boxes were filled with stones. The prefectures and counties are all made by Shen Ci for him.

He took them out one by one, and recalled with Shen Ci when they were sent to him. He remembered the corresponding time of each stone, and Shen Ci also remembered where each stone was picked up. There are 130 pieces in total. They were all picked up by Shen Ci himself, and sent back to the capital with his longing and love, and were placed on his desk and pillow every day.

"In the future, when we get old and can't walk, we can still read these letters and stones at home." Xie Ruzhuo stroked each stone, "Every year we are together will be remembered, and every year that separates the two places will also be remembered." will be remembered."

"Yeah." Shen Ci put the stone back together with him, "So we still have a lot of things to do at home."

They all finished reading a box of stones and letters in one afternoon, and Xie Ruzhuo also found that this was a good way to pass the time, and agreed: "Continue to read tomorrow."

Shen Ci let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that he should read slowly tomorrow. It would be better to take out every letter and read it once. It's better than letting him write and play chess.

Also better than arm wrestling.

When it was time for dinner, Xie Ruzhuo and Shen Ci went to the kitchen together. Shen Ci washed the rice and washed vegetables. He lit the firewood. After failing to ignite the fire six times, he finally lit it with the help of Shen Ci, and then sat on the stove with a small stool. Looking at the firewood seriously on the side of the table, he swore that the fire would be sufficient, but the fire would go out before a dish was finished.

"Ah! I obviously added more firewood!" Xie Ruzhuo said angrily, "How could this happen!"

Shen Ci said helplessly: "You have to set up the firewood. The humidity has been heavy these two days, and the firewood will not survive the damp. It is best to find some paper to light the fire. Of course it will go out if you keep stuffing it in."

"Why is it so troublesome to start a fire..." Xie Ruzhuo muttered, but still ran out to bring a large stack of rice paper.

"Anyway, you don't want to write. You won't be able to use it up after buying so much. Let's use it for fire." Xie Ruzhuo rolled up two pieces of paper and stuffed them in, "You continue to burn, I'll watch."

Shen Ci said in his heart: If Zhabusu knew that they used tribute rice paper to light the fire, he would definitely not let them go to the Zhuangzi to manage the accounts and give 80 taels of silver every month for nothing.

Xie Ruzhuo didn't feel sorry for the good Bai Xuan, and stuffed it in when he saw that the fire wasn't big enough. The fire finally burned to the point where Shen Ci finished all the dishes, but the half-burned fried pork was a bit burnt when it went out in the middle old.

However, this meal was thanks to Xie Ruzhuo himself. Even the meat that could not be chewed was more delicious than usual. He said with a bit of anticipation: "Look, I have learned how to make a fire now. Tomorrow you will teach me how to choose and cut vegetables. The day after tomorrow If you teach me how to cook again, won’t I know how to cook now?”

Shen Ci smiled on the skin and said: "It's a good thing to have a dream..."

But the reality is another matter, if Xie Ruzhuo can learn how to cook, he will finish copying those two copybooks!

Of course, thinking this way in his heart, it is absolutely impossible for Shen Ci to say it, otherwise Xie Ruzhuo would definitely not admit defeat, and he would have to learn it if he can't learn it, then he would not have to live.

The two stayed at home for another eight or nine days, and the flood gradually subsided. At the end of the month, the two went to the two villages mentioned by Zhabusu outside the city, checked the accounts, and received 80 taels of silver easily. Go back happily and continue to teach Shen Ci to learn to cook.

Shen Che and Ye Xinmei didn't wait for them to pick them up, so they hired a carriage and came back first. As soon as they entered the house, they heard their yelling from the kitchen.

"You haven't put in the oil yet! How can you throw the vegetables down when the pot is not even hot!"

"I forgot! Pour now!"

Ye Xinmei frowned, pulled Shen Che up and ran to the kitchen, saying: "Why did Qingzhu go to the kitchen again! Xiao Ci is really unreliable, every day she knows to make people do dangerous things."

Shen Ci's shout came again: "Wait, wait, wait! You have too much!"

As soon as Ye Xinmei walked to the door, she heard a "boom" sound of a big fire igniting, and the next moment thick smoke rose, Shen Ci half dragged and half hugged Xie Ruzhuo and rushed out.

Shen Che hurriedly went to the yard to get a bucket and poured water into it. There were so many flammable things in the kitchen, it was no joke. Shen Ci pushed Xie Ruzhuo to Ye Xinmei, and told them to go far away to help Together with Shen Che, they extinguished the fire that was not yet burning, even so, the stove was still completely burned, and the wall next to it was scorched black.

Xie Ruzhuo was the closest when the fire broke out, even though Shen Ci reacted quickly, he still choked on a big mouthful of thick smoke and coughed for a long time before he recovered, his face was full of traces of smoke, one by one, like a cat .

Ye Xinmei was frightened to death, she patted her chest, and said, "You guys scared me to death! How come you don't know the seriousness at such an adult!"

Xie Ruzhuo tugged at her sleeve guiltily, looked at the messy kitchen again, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I'm so stupid, but I still want to drag Shen Ci to teach me how to cook."

"What are you apologizing for..." Ye Xinmei glanced at the smoky marks on his face, feeling distressed, took out a handkerchief and wiped them off one by one, "I'm worried that it's broken, you know? If you run away What if it's not fast enough? What if your face is disfigured?" She was so angry that she looked back at Shen Ci, "Come here!"

"Master, I was wrong." Shen Ci hurriedly admitted his mistake, "I shouldn't have let Qingjue into the kitchen, I shouldn't have let him do dangerous things, it's all my fault, scold me."

Ye Xinmei: "..."

Feeling angry and going down silently, Ye Xinmei waved her hand wearily and said: "Forget it, it's useless anyway."

This time Shen Ci was also quite frightened, if he didn't pull Xie Ruzhuo away in time, the consequences would be disastrous, he said with lingering fear: "There will never be a next time."

"On the left and right are your own daughter-in-laws, so protect them yourself." Shen Che patted his shoulder, took Ye Xinmei into his arms and went back to the house.

Shen Ci supported his forehead, and pulled Xie Ruzhuo to check it out. He was sure that there was no damage, and he gave him a look and said, "I don't see if you still want to learn!"

Xie Ruzhuo knew that he had done something wrong, so he was tired and said in a low voice: "I was wrong, brother, I don't dare to do it again."

"There will be no next time." Shen Ci could only accept his fate when he called out softly, and scratched his nose, "Don't let me be frightened again."

"Yeah." Xie Ruzhuo smiled and hugged him, "I'm the most obedient."

Shen Ci rubbed his ears again, and said: "You must be the most disobedient today, and you must be punished."

"Can't I let you bully me at night?"

"How to bully?"

"Listen to you."

"The tenth page of the erotic picture?"

"Do you remember what page ten is?"

"I don't remember. After all, I don't read it several times like you, but I know that any page can bully you severely."

"..."

The author has something to say: The Jiangnan episode is over, in short, Xiao Shen and Xiao Xie have been living happily and happily for a long time!

Tomorrow I want to write a special episode about my childhood. The time is probably the time before I went to the cold palace after the first meeting in Qiuhun.

Xiaoxie today: I just blew up a kitchen and got bullied/withered at night

Xiao Shen: Someday you won’t be bullied/shy by me
