Son

The clothes Linqing made for Shen Xu were finally finished. The lake green muslin was cut into a spring shirt, which was elegant and elegant. The sleeves were embroidered with a circle of dark green with dotted embroidery.

Linqing's embroidery skills were not good, and her hands were pricked many times, but in the end she had no choice but to ask Qin Wan to embroider for her.He embroidered the other seams by himself, but he couldn't look closely. If you looked closely, you would see crooked stitches, like a circle of ugly centipedes.

When he gave the clothes to Shen Xu, he was a little embarrassed, afraid that Shen Xu would think he didn't do well, but Shen Xu liked the clothes very much. I made an inner bag so that he could put some broken silver in it.The word "Shen" was carefully embroidered on the inner lining, which was enough to show how hard Linqing was.

Shen Xu immediately put it on and showed it to Lin Qing. Lin Qing saw the clothes she made on Shen Xu's body, and felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Lin Qing couldn't help reaching out to touch his sleeve, "It fits very well."

"Thank you." Shen Xu smiled, "Thank you for your hard work."

Lin Qing blushed and said, "I don't want to say I'm biased now."

Shen Xu looked at his slightly lowered eyes and felt emotional.The texture of this suit of clothes is far better than the one Linqing made for himself. He said that he would buy more clothes to make him look good. Linqing does all the dirty work at home and rarely complains.When Shen Xu was a young master in the past, he was used to being served by servants, but now he also understands that he is no longer the young master of the Shen family, but just an ordinary citizen with a poor family, no longer comparable to Linqing in terms of status points.

But Linqing always treated him like a young master, and Shen Xu felt uncomfortable.

Shen Xu himself didn't want to touch those trivial housework. At first Linqing did it, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After getting along for a while, he gradually accepted the reality that he was reduced to a commoner. Working hard without complaining, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Just buying clothes, Linqing would leave the good ones to him, but he could save as much as he could.The way the two get along like this always makes him unbearable.

Linqing didn't owe him anything, he didn't owe him anything, there was really no need to treat him so well.

Shen Xu couldn't help saying: "I'm not Young Master Shen anymore, just wear coarse cloth."

Linqing glanced at him, but didn't answer.

Shen Xu sighed softly, and said: "I'm going to Wang Ziqian's house. I mentioned the recommendation to him last time. He asked me to come and have a talk today after school yesterday."

Lin Qing nodded, feeling that Shen Xu had been teaching for almost two months, and he finally looked like a master.

"Go ahead, be careful on the road, and come back earlier."

Wang Yanran made lunch and invited Shen Xu to come over to eat. Wang Ziqian took Shen Xu's hand and enthusiastically dragged him to sit down, "Master, try my sister's dried plum meat, it's delicious!"

Wang Shan said with a smile: "It's all about rough tea and light food, as long as the master doesn't dislike it."

Shen Xu said, "I'm bothering you."

Wang Ziqian said: "Master, why didn't you bring your brother here?"

Shen Xu patted Wang Ziqian on the head and said angrily, "I just wanted to play. You were dishonest and asked me to come over to discuss the recommendation, so I didn't bring him along."

Wang Ziqian stuck out his tongue, "Where am I being dishonest, I called my master here just to talk about the rural examination, just to have a meal by the way."

Wang Shan smiled and said: "Okay, okay, if you want to invite Master to dinner, you should make it clear to Master, and dare to talk back to Master."

"Sister, why are you facing Master?"

"I'm only with reasonable people."

Shen Xu is very close to a group of students in the school, and Linqing comes to play with the students from time to time, a group of children are not afraid of the two of them, but are very close, so Wang Ziqian dared to joke with Shen Xu.

Wang suddenly said: "Master, please hold up your chopsticks, don't focus on talking, you forgot to eat."

Shen Xu nodded, and the three of them gathered around the wooden table to have lunch.

Wang Ziqian and Shen Xu discussed the sentences in "Book of Rites" from time to time, and they had a pleasant meal. However, to Shen Xu's surprise, Wang Shanran, who is a woman, can occasionally insert a few words, and she has unique insights , couldn't help but make Shen Xu look at her with admiration.

After dinner, Wang Ziqian's originally smiling face suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Master, I have made up my mind. I want to take the provincial examination."

Shen Xu nodded, "You've decided, I'll ask the township head to write a recommendation letter for you, and send it to the town in a few days for the county master to have a look at."

Wang Shan, who was making tea, couldn't help being surprised and said, "Ziqian, have you really thought about it?"

Regarding the rural examination, after Shen Xu left that day, Wang Ziqian did not discuss it with his sister again. After thinking about it for twenty days, he finally made up his mind and decided to take the imperial examination.

Wang Ziqian nodded and said: "My sister has worked hard for me for many years, and I want to repay her. Besides, the master said that I have the ability to reach the top. I also want to see how much I am." After a pause, he replied: "Everyone It is said that Chang'an is prosperous and full of talents, I... I want to go there and have a look."

Wang Shan looked at him for a while, then sighed softly: "My son has ambitions everywhere. If you want to go out and travel, my sister will not stop you. I just hope that you don't put too much emphasis on fame in everything and lose your heart."

Wang Ziqian said: "Sister's words, Ziqian will remember."

Listening to the conversation between the two siblings, Shen Xu felt that the history of the Wang family must not be simple. Ordinary people, who do not seek glory and wealth, will be overjoyed if they have the opportunity to take the imperial examination. Telling Wang Ziqian not to be confused by fame and fortune is really not like the truth that ordinary villagers would understand.

Perhaps it was also after the decline of everyone, but Shen Xu didn't want to ask more questions, and said with a smile: "It's better not to burden yourself, just take it as an experience, and the current thing is to concentrate on preparing for the exam."

Wang Ziqian nodded, "What Master said is that Ziqian will study harder from today on."

Shen Xu patted his head, "Ask me if you have any questions, don't push yourself too hard."

Wang Ziqian clenched his fist, he knew the risks behind the recommendation, the master and the village head were willing to give him a chance, so he naturally wanted to try his best to repay this kindness.

"Ziqian knows."

Shen Xu smiled, "If you want to play with Linqing, you can come to my house. Although Linqing's cooking skills are not as good as your sister's, they are still edible." He glanced at Wang Shuran, and the invitation slipped to his lips and swallowed again After all, the other party is a woman waiting to be married, and inviting the other party as a guest will inevitably increase rumors.

After bidding farewell to the siblings of the Wang family, Shen Xu returned home.

Linqing had nothing to do in the afternoon, he was lying on the table by the window practicing calligraphy, and the little rabbit was placed on the table by him, nestling into a ball, squinting and dozing off.

Seeing Shen Xu entering the room, Lin Qing hurriedly hid the written words behind her back, "You, you are back."

Shen Xu looked behind him, "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing." Linqing hastily put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, "You've been there for a long time, have you eaten at noon?"

"I've eaten." Shen Xu was a little tired, lay down on the bed, and said casually, "Ziqian has decided to take the provincial examination."

"Really? That's great. With his talent and learning, he will definitely pass the exam."

Shen Xu lay on his side on the bed, looking at Lin Qing leisurely, for some reason, he felt that the two of them didn't seem to be bickering or having conflicts like when they first came here, or it should be said that the two of them seemed to have gotten used to the current life , he teaches for a living, while Linqing grows vegetables and cultivates land to take care of housework. The topics of his talk are also about the short and trivial daily life of his parents, and he seldom thinks about the past.

Shen Xu sometimes felt that he had been teaching for many years, and what he thought about every day was how the students were, what the class hours were, or how much the clothes cost, and how much was left over from the school.

He was surprised by his change. The days of fresh clothes and angry horses seemed to be far away in the sky, and it was another person's memory.

Living with Linqing seems to be not bad?

If Linqing was a woman, I might have fallen in love with him.In this small mountain village, although the folk customs are simple and kind, they are just Bai Ding who can't read big characters. Shen Xu and them really can't find a common topic.In such an environment, there is a person beside him who has the same experience as him and can talk to him, Shen Xu thought, whoever he is, will unconsciously develop a good impression of this person.

It's a pity that Linqing is not a woman, no matter how close she is, she can't fill the position of the person next to her.Shen Xu couldn't help thinking of the spring dream that day, thinking that she had acted so outrageously towards Lin Qing, Shen Xu felt ashamed.

Feeling full of warmth and thinking about lust, now that the problem of food and clothing has been barely solved, thoughts arise unconsciously in my mind.It would be great if there was a well-informed and cultivated woman by her side——

Shen Xu was thinking like this, for some reason, a slim figure standing on tiptoe to dry clothes suddenly appeared in his mind.He was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, secretly thinking that he was really ridiculous.

After the rest day passed, Shen Xu went back to the school to teach.When Linqing came to deliver the meal again, Wang Ziqian tugged at the corner of his clothes and said, "Brother, can I go to your house to play after school? Master said I want to play with you, so I can go to your house."

Linqing patted his head, and said softly: "It's ok. You treat the master to dinner, this time I treat you to dinner, okay?"

Wang Ziqian happily said: "Okay!" After thinking for a while, he said: "Can I let my sister come with me?"

Lin Qing was stunned for a moment, Shen Xu didn't tell him that Wang Ziqian had an older sister, "Yes." After saying that, she felt a little strange. It was supposed to invite Wang's parents to come over as a return gift, but why Wang Ziqian only mentioned her older sister? Woolen cloth?

He was about to express his doubts, but Wang Ziqian had already waved and ran away, "Thank you brother! I'm going home for lunch, see you tonight!"

Linqing let out an "hey" and carried the food basket to the side room with doubts.

During the meal, Linqing told Shen Xu about hosting Wang Ziqian, and couldn't help but said: "He has a sister? It seems that he will come too, but I don't know his parents..."

Shen Xu paused, and told him about the situation at Wang Ziqian's house.

Linqing was amazed, she and Shen Xu were both men, and when they first came to Lushan Village, they were worried about making a living, while Wang Shanran was a weak woman, but she had to raise her younger brother, how difficult it was.

Linqing said with emotion: "Fortunately, Ziqian is smart and motivated. If he wins the exam in the future, his siblings won't have to suffer anymore."

Shen Xu sighed, "I hope so." Suddenly she laughed at herself: "You have no hope if you follow me."

Lin Qing was taken aback, frowned and said, "I didn't plan on you at all, even if I'm alone, I won't starve to death."

Shen Xu smiled and said, "That's right, I wouldn't be able to live until now if you weren't willing to help me."

"That's not what I meant—" Lin Qing said anxiously, biting her lips, not knowing how to explain it, "Forget it, what else to say, just live a good life."

He followed Shen Xu and helped Shen Xu, never for the sake of profit, but simply wanted to stay by this person's side.He was afraid that Shen Xu would feel sorry for himself, and felt that dwarves were inferior, but he couldn't express what was in his heart, so he had to give up.

Shen Xu looked at the tip of Lin Qing's head, and couldn't help but think, if she really wanted to live here for the rest of her life, she couldn't ask people to guard her and work hard all the time.

But it seems too early to think about these things now, let's stabilize the day before thinking about other things.

The author has something to say: I want to overthrow and rewrite... Originally, I wanted to write about a monster with a dark belly, who was imprisoned for a year and became a psychopath... But why did I write it as a tsundere and pure love...

Ancient prose is really hard work... I want to write modern prose...
