Son

Shen Xu took a sip of the noodles she cooked, and her face twisted into a twist, only then did she realize how delicious the raw rice in the morning was.

Lin Qing expected that the food he made would not be delicious, but he didn't expect it to be so unpalatable. He almost finished eating the bowl of "noodles" that had become a ball with the mood of going to death, and his face turned pale after eating. Everything has changed.

Shen Xu said awkwardly: "Hey, isn't it delicious?"

Not only is it unpalatable, it is simply extremely special and outrageously unpalatable!

After eating, the two sat side by side in the hall, grilling a stove of charcoal fire, both of them looked dumbfounded.

What Shen Xu thought was, I'm so sleepy, I should take a nap after eating.

What Lin Qing thought was that it was already the third day, and he still hadn't found a job to make a living, so he was really worried.

The days were cloudy and the north wind was howling, the wooden door was creaked, the two people in the house were silent, very deserted.

A child jumped and passed by the path in front of the door, shouting all the way: "Oh, eat Yuanxiao!"

Shen Xu murmured, "Ah, is it the Lantern Festival?"

To say that his cousin Shen Danchi really knows how to choose a date, leaving his new wife behind on New Year's Eve and chasing his sweetheart away on horseback.So the first thing that happened to Shen's residence in the first year was that the house was ransacked by the Holy Majesty, and Shen Xu was kicked out before even sending out the new year's money.

This New Year's gift is really dumbfounding.

If the child hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have remembered that tomorrow would be the Lantern Festival.

He vaguely remembered that last year at this time, he Shang Jinmao Diaoqiu traveled with a group of sons and brothers, crossed the arch bridge, and arrived at the market.Passers-by rubbing shoulders, walking among fiery trees and silver flowers, moths and snow willows, fragrant temples are full, and lanterns are hung for several miles, forming a continuous vein, like a Milky Way snow road.There are small stalls and small shops, shouting loudly, and there are occasional jugglers. There is a week outside, and the applause and cheers all correspond to the festive atmosphere of the day.

Shen Xu couldn't help sighing, feeling like a lifetime away.

Lin Qing glanced at him, then turned to look at her fingertips.

I still remember last year in Shangyuan, when this man came back from his wanderings, he brought a lot of gadgets, one for each family member, and happily called Mrs. Xianggong, it was so lively.

But he was the only one forgotten.

He played the qin all night in the courtyard, heard his little concubine Xue Ning showing off her lantern to Bi Luo, and heard Bi Luo flicking her rouge to Xue Ning, with lowered eyes, she left the piano and left.

At that time, how could I have expected that now I could monopolize this person's entire time.

However, even though there were only two people left, that person's eyes still did not fall on him.

With their own concerns in mind, the two stared at a fire for a long time in a daze.

In the afternoon, the clouds became more cloudy, and soon snowflakes came. Lin Qing remembered the clothes he had just washed in the morning, and immediately stood up and went to the backyard to collect them.The clothes were frozen hard, holding them like a piece of ice.Linqing found a bamboo pole, set up a clothes-drying pole in the hall, spread out the clothes, and wanted to dry them over the fire.

The thin ice gradually melted, and a puddle of water accumulated on the ground.

Shen Xu shrunk her body and whispered, "It's cold."

Linqing said unhappily: "Don't dry the clothes, you can wear old clothes next time you take a bath."

Shen Xu leaned towards him, "Are you cold?"

Lin Qing blushed slightly, "So what if it's cold?"

Shen Xu was overjoyed, "Why don't we go back to bed and lie down!"

"..."

"In this winter, you can't find work around. Why don't you recharge your energy and store water, and then make plans when spring comes." Shen Xu vowed.

"..."

Lin Qing has no strength to argue with him any more, he has been tossed and turned by Shen Xu's anger for the past three days, and finally realized the fact that if you are serious with this idiot, you will lose!

But if you think about it carefully, what Shen Xu said is also reasonable. Instead of worrying about making a living every day, you should relax and pass the cold winter. You can also learn from the villagers to open up one or two acres of land and grow some food, even if you can't sell it for money, you can still eat.

Shen Xu saw that his complexion was a little loose, and took the opportunity to continue to say: "Don't think about it, just go and take a nap."

Linqing couldn't resist him, and the two rolled into bed.

Shen Xu let out a breath of satisfaction, "It's still comfortable in the bed."

Lin Qing grabbed his side, his stiff body revealed the tension in his heart.

Sleeping in one place at night is still in the name of resting, but sleeping together during the day is nothing?

"What are you doing against the wall? Turn around." Shen Xu said.

"The one who sleeps with you is."

"You turn sideways, there is a piece between us, and the air leaks."

Lin Qing bit her lip, turned around stiffly and lay down flat.

The two lay side by side, looking at the dilapidated roof, only listening to the cold wind whimpering outside, relatively speechless.

Shen Xu shivered.

Linqing was startled.

"?"

"..."

Looking at Lin Qing's blushing cheeks, Shen Xu suddenly asked for no reason: "Have you ever liked men?"

Lin Qing shrank back almost immediately, his head hit the wall with a bang, and he became dizzy immediately, and curled up into a ball holding the back of his head.

Now Shen Xu was startled by him, and hurried over to check the situation, "Why are you so excited?"

As soon as Shen Xu's hand touched Lin Qing, she was pushed away by Lin Qing and almost rolled out of bed.

"What are you doing?" Shen Xu pulled back half of her body hanging by the bed, still in shock.

Lin Qing pulled the quilt to cover herself, and then ignored him.

Shen Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, why is this young man so barbaric, but ask a question, what's the reason for such a big reaction?

Lie down again, Shen Xu looked at the ceiling and wandered.

Linqing was brought back by him from the Zhang family—then he was from the Zhang family before——

Wake up suddenly!

Is it!

Is it!

Shen Xu's face turned pale with shock, oh my god, didn't he do such a lowly thing that people like?No wonder Young Master Zhang broke off contact with him all of a sudden, that's how it is!

Thinking about it this way, Shen Xu looked at Lin Qing with more guilt.No wonder this young master disliked him everywhere, it turned out that there was a resentment in his heart.

After staring fixedly for a while, Shen Xu suddenly said, "I'm sorry."

Linqing popped out half of his head, "?"

Shen Xu sighed, "If you had said it earlier, I wouldn't have... oh..."

Linqing: "??"

"Don't worry, tomorrow I will go to Zhang's mansion to apologize, and I will give you justice."

Linqing: "???"

"Alas..." Shen Xu closed her eyes full of sorrow, it was really a sin, a sin.

Linqing: "..."

I don't know why this idiot suddenly went crazy!

An hour later, someone called Linqing's name and came from far and near.

Lin Qing turned over in a daze, until he heard a knock on the door, and then sat up abruptly, someone is coming!

The neighbor's aunt was holding a bowl of Lantern Festival at the door and said, "Is the young master at home? I brought you some Lantern Festival!"

Linqing hurriedly put on her clothes, "Here! Wait a moment!"

Shen Xu muttered, "It's so noisy..."

Lin Qing gave him a white look, put on his clothes casually, and rushed to answer the door. The door was not locked, but it was only ajar. He was afraid that the neighbor's aunt wouldn't be able to wait for him to come in.

However, the more anxious and the more chaotic, just as Shen Xu stepped over Shen Xu with his front foot, Shen Xu turned over and hugged his back foot, and Lin Qing fell to the ground with a bang.

"Young master?" Hearing the loud noise in the house, the neighbor's aunt pushed the door worriedly and entered.

then.

The aunt who was standing at the door of the room with the Lantern Festival opened her mouth wide.

One was lazily sleeping on the bed, and the other was lying under the bed, grinning and grinning. His clothes were disheveled, which made people daydream.

The so-called prostitution in the daytime.

The aunt took a step back.

Linqing: "That..."

The aunt took another step back.

Lin Qing: "It's not what you think—"

The auntie retreated into the hall, put the Lantern Festival on the table, and then ran away.

"I understand, I understand, you two continue, I didn't see anything—"

Linqing wished he could find a seam in the ground and get in.

On the other hand, Shen Xu, who was sleeping in the dark, didn't realize that he was asleep, and "□□" was revealed.

At dusk, Shen Xu woke up in a daze and smelled a sweet fragrance.Stomach growled a few times, and Shen Xu walked all the way to the kitchen, smelling the aroma, in line with her instinct to eat when she was hungry.

Linqing was cooking the Lantern Festival sent by his aunt, when he heard footsteps, he turned around and said, "Are you up?"

Shen Xu nodded, "I'm hungry."

Linqing felt that she was raising pigs.

"Sit for a while, it will be fine." Lin Qing said, "Oh, go to the hall and feel the clothes are dry?"

Shen Xu left, and after a while, a voice came: "No—"

"Add wood to the stove—"

"Where is the firewood—"

"The firewood room—"

"Where is the woodshed—"

"..."

Lin Qing yelled, "Forget it if you burn your trash!"

The glutinous glutinous glutinous stuffing sent by the neighbors, biting down, the aroma of sesame seeds spread between the lips and teeth, Shen Xu showed a satisfied expression, and said with emotion: "It's really delicious..."

He also said to Linqing: "The most famous restaurant in Yangzhou is Yingfulou. It is full of guests on weekdays, and the scene is even more spectacular in Shangyuan. The sweet-scented osmanthus dumplings made by the old chef are the best in Yangzhou. That is to queue up to buy." I can’t buy it either. I spent a hundred taels to bribe the boss to get a bowl, and the taste is still unforgettable.”

Linqing looked at him contemptuously, and said three words, "Prodigal son."

Shen Xu: "..."

After dinner, Linqing went to return the bowl in the dark.Thinking of the scene of being bumped into by a neighbor in the afternoon, he really couldn't muster up the courage.

Shen Xu came out of the room tightly wrapped up, "Aren't you going?"

Linqing glanced at him, "You stay and look after the house."

Shen Xu was shocked, "How can this be possible! If you meet someone bad on the way, what should you do with your bare hands?"

Linqing had no expression on her face, she just spoke out of fear of the dark.

The two went out.

The snow was getting thinner, and a thick layer had accumulated on the ground. There were still scattered fine snowflakes floating on the head. Shen Xu held a broken umbrella and held it above the two of them graciously.

Then, a snowflake fell from the hole in the umbrella onto Linqing's nose.

Linqing: "..."

Shen Xu: "..."

"Turn the broken part to the front!" Lin Qing roared.

Shen Xu shrunk her neck and obeyed obediently.

Then, many flakes of snow fell from the larger hole onto Linqing's head, eyelashes, nose, and neck...

Linqing: "..."

Shen Xu: "..."

"You did it on purpose! You did it on purpose!"

"Hey, I didn't know the umbrella was broken like this..."

Linqing was furious, "You can carry it yourself!"

"Hey!" Shen Xu ran behind with a broken umbrella, "Wait for me! It's dark! It's really dark!"

When they arrived at the door of the neighbor's house, both of them were out of breath and stared at each other, trying to complain.

Lin Qing calmed down and knocked on the door, "Aunt Wang, I'm here to return the bowl."

"Here we come." The aunt yelled and came over to open the door.

Linqing handed over the porcelain bowl, "Thank you for the Lantern Festival, I have washed the bowl, I will return it to you."

The aunt smiled, "You're welcome, from the village."

Then they looked at each other, all smirking awkwardly.

Linqing: "..."

Auntie: "..."

Shen Xu: "?"

Auntie: "I really didn't see anything. It doesn't matter. Now that the people are open, I won't think about anything. Don't worry, I won't gossip. The two of you agree with each other, so don't worry about what other people think. You are both handsome and handsome. Stand together. It's a good match, it's a good match, I'm really not at all curious about who goes up and who goes down..."

Lin Qing hurriedly patted her on the back, and said with a black line: "Aunt Wang, don't get excited, speak slowly..."

Aunt Wang took a breath, and smiled embarrassedly, "It's all right, it's all right, although Auntie is a country woman, I've heard about the former prince and his wish, you don't have to worry about being criticized by others."

During the Tang Dynasty, folk customs were open and masculinity prevailed.On the top, Li Chengqian, the deposed prince, favors and favors men, and on the bottom, there is a young shepherd from the Goulan courtyard who leans on the window to treat guests. Even in the countryside, there are many things that men love each other.

Linqing couldn't laugh or cry, "Aunt Wang misunderstood, he and I are not—"

"There's no need to explain, I understand everything." Aunt Wang gave a clear look.

Linqing burst into tears in her heart, what the hell do you know!

Aunt Wang glanced at Shen Xu behind him again, and said in a low voice: "This young man is a little dumbfounded, but he is quite talented."

Shen Xu: "?"

Aunt Wang couldn't help asking curiously, "His husband and your wife?"

Shen Xu: "??"

Linqing roared inwardly, why are you a country woman so unrestrained!

"Aunt Wang, it's getting late, let's take our leave first." Lin Qing said weakly, if he stayed any longer, he would definitely go crazy.

Aunt Wang suddenly showed a disappointed expression, "Be careful on the road."

"Mother." Aunt Wang's ten-year-old son ran over holding a piece of paper and said aggrievedly, "I can't write well."

Aunt Wang frowned and said, "You are the only one who can read at home, who will write if you don't?"

The little boy pouted and looked at the ground dejectedly.

Lin Qing asked: "This is?"

Aunt Wang explained: "When making lanterns, the old man in the village was sick, and no one wrote an inscription for the lanterns, so I had to let this boy write it. It took me a whole day to write, and it was like a ghost drawing talismans. I read all the books in my stomach. Yeah, I'm pissed off."

The little boy was so wronged that his eyes were red.

Shen Xu, who was silent at the side, suddenly said, "Why don't I write it for you."

Aunt Wang looked at him in surprise, "This young master can write?"

Shen Xu touched his nose and said modestly, "Know a thing or two."

Aunt Wang welcomed the two of them into the house, and with a yell, the children spread the paper, the one who grinds the ink, the one who makes tea, the one who puts the stools, from the 80-year-old mother to the bosom. Babbling babies all gathered around to watch the excitement.

Shen Xu smiled awkwardly, thinking that this is a little exaggerated...

Aunt Wang's husband is a butcher, and he frowned at Shen Xu with a fierce face, "Sir, write whatever you want."

Wang Butcher originally wanted to express some politeness, but he was so hideous that Shen Xu trembled in fright, which clearly meant "write whatever you want, take it easy and don't worry about it. arm" posture.

After exploring the pen, Shen Xu settled down and wrote on the rice paper.

Xiaokai flows freely, and when you are calm and relaxed, a quatrain comes naturally.

The eldest son of the Wang family was lying on the desk, pointing to the words and reading one by one: "What's the matter? I don't know the night rain falls on the mountain..."

"The long lantern is covered with snow at night, and the Jinwu is opened for the first time. The fire trees and silver flowers are united, and the bright moon comes one by one."

Shen Xu looked over and saw Linqing standing by the case, reciting slowly.

The two looked at each other, and in a daze, Linqing saw the young man who was unlucky but full of economics that day.

Among the many dandies, that person was free and unrestrained, pushing cups and changing glasses, drunk with money, and inadvertently cast a glance of sight, which made him sink into it, unable to extricate himself.

The author has something to say:
