Son

When Wang Ziqian and Wang Shanran came over with some fruits and vegetables, Linqing was cooking in the kitchen, smoky, and only heard Wang Ziqian's clear voice and a woman's gentle greeting from the main room, as if to say "Master Shen Okay, sorry to bother you" or something.

Wang Ziqian rushed into the kitchen and happily called Linqing: "Little brother!"

Linqing was coughing because of the smoke from the firewood. It rained last night, and a hole was broken in the roof of the firewood house at some point, and the firewood was soaked. It was so embarrassing to cook today.

"Don't come here, there's a lot of smoke here." Lin Qing waved his hand.

Wang Ziqian was obviously also choked by the smoke, covered his nose and lips, frowned and said, "Little brother, why did you make a room full of smoke?"

Linqing had no time to explain, and was in a hurry to finish the cooking and turn off the fire.

At this time, a strange woman's voice was heard saying: "Wet wood produces smoke, Ziqian, go home and bring some dry firewood."

Wang Ziqian went there in response, Linqing looked at the voice, she was a young woman, about half the age of her, with a pretty face and a slender figure, she must be the elder sister that Wang Ziqian said.

Lin Qing blushed: "The firewood room leaked, and the firewood was wet, making it a joke for you."

Wang Shan smiled, walked over to pick up the hay that Linqing used to light the fire, threw some into the stove, and picked up the cattail fan to fan the fire.

Lin Qing was shocked and said: "How dare you trouble the guests, put it down and sit outside, Shen Xu, Shen Xu, why don't you greet the guests?"

Wang Shan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Ziqian was cultivated by Master, I just lighted a fire, so you don't have to be polite to me, young master."

Shen Xu poked her head in when she heard the words, and was surprised to see Wang Shanran get into the kitchen to help Linqing prepare dinner. She was about to dissuade him, but Wang Shanran stopped him, saying: "There is a lot of smoke in it, Master go sit outside Come on, don't delay your reading with smoky eyes."

Shen Xu was startled, but went obediently.

Linqing looked at Wang Yanran with a little more surprise. He and Wang Yanran had never met before, but when they met, the other party was so close, and even talking to Shen Xu was like an old friend who had known each other for many years. Casually, while Linqing felt delighted, she also faintly felt a little uneasy.

But where this unease came from, he couldn't tell.

Wang Shanran fanned the fire for him for a while, the flames gradually flourished, and the smoke subsided, Linqing had a chance to speak to her.

"Thank you." Lin Qing whispered, just as he was about to pour oil into the pot, Wang Shan suddenly let out an "ah".

Linqing looked at her puzzled, and Wang Shan explained with a smile: "It's best to rinse the pan after frying the fish, otherwise the fishy smell will be bad for the next dish."

Linqing has been working as a housekeeper for several months, but he is still not very proficient. Now it is the spring plowing season, and every household goes out early and returns late to plow the fields. There are always negligence in small things.De Wang suddenly reminded, Linqing couldn't help being ashamed and said: "There is such a talk, I never knew..."

Wang Yanran didn't deliberately show off, but just reminded him with a kind heart, and said with a smile: "I didn't know before, every time I fried fish, I would directly fry vegetables. Ziqian always thinks that vegetables are not good. The aunt next door told me that whenever there is fish, you have to wash the pot before cooking other dishes." She looked at Linqing and showed a sincere smile.

Linqing suddenly understood where Wang Ziqian's simplicity and cuteness came from.

Wang Yanran is respectful and polite to others, but he is not too self-effacing. He speaks and behaves well, but he is close to nature.Although Lushan Village is not big, there are hundreds of households. Thanks to Aunt Wang's gossip, no one would know that she is Shen Xu's wife. I couldn't help looking at Linqing with curious eyes, wondering how the man and the man lived.Wang Shanran was different, from the time she came in to now, her eyes were sincere and not inquisitive, she only treated Lin Qing as an ordinary person, Lin Qing had only been with her for a while, and he couldn't help but treat her as a friend.

Thinking of this, he suddenly showed a naive smile to Wang Shan.

Wang Ziqian came back with a stack of dry firewood, his little face was covered with sweat from running.Wang Yanran took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe it off for him, told him to put down the firewood, and went to the hall to ask Shen Xu for advice.

Wang Ziqian looked at Linqing eagerly, hoping to play with his little brother. Wang Shan's face darkened and said, "Did you forget to review the book for an hour after school? The value of reading is perseverance, but if you come out to disturb a meal, your heart will Just go wild? Don't talk about the township examination, the township chief will see your temper, and he won't write a letter of recommendation for you."

Wang Ziqian pursed his mouth, lowered his head and said, "Ziqian knows."

Seeing the child go out aggrieved, Lin Qing couldn't help but said: "I just learned it this afternoon, so let's play for a while..."

Wang Shan suddenly said: "Learn and practice from time to time, it is because you have just learned it, so you have to review it in time so that you will not forget it after learning it." He smiled and said: "My brother has been fun since he was a child, I don't care about it now. He, I'm afraid it will delay his future. Fame is second, and developing a lazy and playful temperament is the harm that will ruin his life."

Linqing's heart was shaken, she just felt that when this 16-year-old girl talked about her younger brother, her expression and words were like a mother's, with indescribable majesty.

Wang Shan sighed, "It's rare that Master values ​​him so much that he doesn't dare to let Ziqian fail Master's teachings."

Lin Qing thought, the master you speak of is more lazy and fun than his students...

I also thought, if only I had half the majesty of yours, I wouldn't be so angry with that idiot that I couldn't say anything.

The two chatted and dinner was ready.

The four of them sat down around the table, and Linqing tied the little rabbit around the table with a rope. Wang Ziqian stuck to Linqing and wanted to sit with him, so Wang Shan suddenly sat between Wang Ziqian and Shen Xu.

At the dinner table, Wang Ziqian kept talking to Linqing, and the two got together to tease the rabbit again, Wang Shanran couldn't help but want to scold him for not eating or sleeping, and not being rude at the master's house.However, Linqing also got into trouble with Wang Ziqian, if Wang Shanran wanted to reprimand his younger brother, he would scold Linqing together, opened his mouth, but in the end he could only shake his head helplessly, and said to Shen Xu: "Master, forgive me. "

Shen Xu smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just a family banquet, just do whatever you want. Not to mention Ziqian, Linqing is also a half-grown child, if the two want to play together, let them go."

Linqing couldn't help but blush when he heard him say this, glared at Shen Xu, and muttered softly: "You're only half a child."

Shen Xu smiled but said nothing, showing a "look, I'm right" expression to Wang Shan.

Wang Shan couldn't hold back his sleeves and laughed lightly, probably thinking that a simple boy like Linqing was very cute.

Feeling being teased by Shen Xu, Linqing lowered her head to talk to Wang Ziqian, and didn't bother to pay attention to him. The two of them ignored him and started chatting about the books they had read.

During this conversation, Shen Xu couldn't help but lamented that Wang Shan was quick-witted. He not only read poems and books, but also put forward his own opinions based on them. Shen Xu was amazed.

The two chatted speculatively, with the feeling of meeting a bosom friend in the mountains and rivers.

Lin Qing looked up occasionally and saw the two talking happily, Shen Xu was even more energetic, so excited, his heart tightened and his eyes darkened a little.

After all, this idiot still likes to talk to people like Wang Yanran, he has nothing to learn, and can only play with Wang Ziqian's age, no wonder Shen Xu said that he is a half-grown child.

I am afraid that in the eyes of that person, he has never regarded himself as a possible object of liking.It's like it's absolutely impossible for an adult to feel admiration for a child.

Linqing will inevitably be lost.

He wondered in a daze, Wang Shanran is so smart, talented, kind, and a young woman, would Shen Xu fall in love with her...

There's no reason not to like it. In the past, the girls in Mingxue Courtyard of Shen's Mansion were all able to sing poems and have a good appearance. Shen Xu was not satisfied with having one, so Baba raised a whole yard.Such a flirtatious nature, it's only been four months since I came to Lushan Village, so it's impossible to change it.

That idiot can teach again now, and he doesn't have to rely on himself for the money. Wang Shanran is obviously more capable than himself in those trivial housework. Shen Xu has no reason to choose himself over such a good woman.

What if he really likes Wang Shanran?Where should I go?go?

Lin Qing lost his appetite because of his wild thoughts, he didn't know what was going on, it was obviously the first time he saw each other, but just seeing Shen Xu chatting happily with her, Lin Qing's heart stopped I can't help being sad.

In the end, it was just because Shen Xu had never treated him like this.

He couldn't grasp Shen Xu's heart, and he didn't dare to let him know his own heart, so when he saw Shen Xu getting closer to someone, he felt panic, for fear that Shen Xu would abandon him.

He stared blankly at the rabbit, feeling that his tears were about to fall, only then did he realize that he liked Shen Xu so much, and even felt sad to see him happy for others.

Wang Ziqian stroked the rabbit's fur, and suddenly felt a drop of cold water on his hand, and looked up in surprise, "Little brother, why are you crying?"

Linqing hurriedly raised his hand to wipe his eyes, "I got the hot pepper in my eyes, I'll go get some water and wash it off."

After that, he got up and went to the kitchen as if he was running away.

Shen Xu on the other end was still discussing a sentence in "Mencius" with Wang Shanran, when he caught sight of Lin Qing leaving the table out of the corner of his eye, he asked, "Where did Lin Qing go?"

Wang Ziqian said: "He was irritated by the hot pepper, so he washed it off at the back."

Shen Xu looked at the dishes on the table. Jiangnan people eat lightly. There is only one piece of braised fish with a little spicy, which can be ignored. Where does Linqing get so spicy?

Wang Shan glanced in the direction of the kitchen, and moved his eyes like a soul.

After dinner, Shen Xu and Linqing took the two of them to visit the backyard. Wang Shan was surprised that Linqing could grow vegetables, and taught him to set up a few poles next to it, so that the gourd vines could be entwined and climbed.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Shan suddenly took Wang Ziqian to say goodbye, Shen Xu looked at the backs of the two leaving for a long time, then looked away, and sighed at the setting sun and sunset.

It's been a long time since I had such a happy chat with someone. During the few months in this country, I finally met a like-minded person, and the emotion in Shen Xu's heart was self-evident.

Liu Yulang is naturally a good friend who can chat, but the other party is more like a dude than him, and often can't talk about a few serious words, so the topic turns to the matter of the bed brother.Wang Shanran is someone who can really explore knowledge. After chatting with her, Shen Xu became more and more curious about the background of this family.

Turning around, she saw Lin Qing standing in the courtyard, her wet eyes filled with grievance and loneliness for some reason.

When Shen Xu was in a daze, Lin Qing had already turned around and entered the room before she could figure it out.
