It's just the time of the rabbit outside at this moment, the night has not yet cleared, and there are three or two stars hanging in the sky, because Ban'er is worried about Qiao Jie, she won't sleep well, so she wakes up early.At this moment, I heard a strange noise from the side room, and looked back unconsciously, Sister Qiao just came out wearing the old moon white silk and satin jacket that Qing'er used to wear, the two of them thought about what happened last night, it was a bit embarrassing .

Because Ban'er didn't see Qing'er, he asked Sister Qiao, "Did Qing girl fall asleep? Why didn't you see her when you came out?" Come out, quickly answered the words: "Brother, why are you here, who is asleep? It's just that I got up late, and I heard you here early in the morning, making a lot of noise. People are really uncomfortable."

Ban'er was caught by her, coughed embarrassingly, and seeing Qiaojie still standing, he started talking to her again: "It's not even light today, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Qing'er laughed and said: "It shows that you are a partial person. You have something to say when the girl wakes up early, but I fell asleep later. Fortunately, you know that there is a reason for the girl to wake up early. "

Ban'er sized up what happened last night, and hurriedly said, "What's the reason?"

Qing'er looked at Sister Qiao with a smile, and said, "The girl said that she would get up and follow her parents to work in the fields. I don't know how much I thought about it yesterday. I just said this sentence in the oblique la. I almost didn't laugh. stomachache."

Sister Qiao made her talk a little embarrassing, and hurriedly pulled Qing'er's sleeves to tell her not to continue.Ban'er saw it as if he couldn't see it, laughed a few times with Qing'er, and persuaded Qiao Jie: "In my opinion, the work in this field will not be needed for a while, and the girl will dislike it." If you're bored and panic, go to the room and have a look at grandma. I heard from my mother that grandma is not feeling well this morning, so go and have a chat with her old man."

Qing'er heard that she hurriedly pushed Sister Qiao into her grandma's room, saw that her face was haggard, not as radiant as before, and indeed looked sick, so she asked Sister Qiao to sit in her grandmother's room as she said, and go to the gray shed by herself. After making breakfast, I brought it into the house to serve grandma and sister Qiao after a while. Seeing that it was already bright outside, I thought about getting medicine for grandma.Ban'er saw that although she was a girl who grew up in the countryside, he was worried about letting her go out because of her young age, so he asked Qing'er to stay too, and he himself wore a white velvet scarf and a half-worn brown Taoist robe. He fumbled for a few copper coins from the cabinet, and went to the pharmacy on Xuanping Street under the bridge to get some medicine.

As soon as Qing'er saw that he was gone, there was nothing serious about Sister Qiao and grandma's place, so she settled down to soak the grain seeds under the eaves of the front yard.Let's say Aunt Li went home yesterday, and while cooking a meal, she talked about how a pretty girl came to Grandma Liu's house next door and how she made a fuss, because she always liked to talk about things. After saying this, I felt irritable, but I never remembered it in my heart.But Li Shunai listened to her, and he heard that it was from Grandma Liu's family, so he became more and more interested.He is about the same age as Ban'er, and when the two of them are stubborn, they seem to come from the same mother's house. For a while now, because of Master Zhou's sheep-herding hands, Ban'er got an errand and he didn't, so there was some estrangement. stand up.

Now when he heard that there was a fairy-like figure, Li Shun only thought his mother was exaggerating, not only didn't believe it, but also wanted to see it in person, and mocked Ban'er on the way.It was also a coincidence that he got up early and had nothing to do. He heard the sound of firewood chopping next door in his yard, and knew that someone had woken up. When it was a little brighter, he vaguely heard the door over there. He didn't know it was Ban Er who opened the door. I thought it was Gou'er and his wife, so I wanted to take advantage of the time when they left.

Unexpectedly, when I got to the door, I lay down on the crack of the door and took a few glances, but I didn't see the board, and I didn't see the girl his mother said, I only saw the thin back of Qing'er sitting there, bowing her head and not knowing what to do. What, can't help feeling bored.Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a soft voice from the yard saying: "Sister Qing'er, grandma wants to ask you if there is any tea left, if so, please pour some more." Qing'er quickly agreed In a word, we have to serve tea and water.

Li Shun stopped suspiciously when he heard this, and looked in again on the crack of the door. He really saw a half-grown girl standing under the door of the main room. Shun couldn't move.

Sister Qiao didn't know that someone outside was looking at her like this. After a lot of hard thinking, she has already left behind the desire to die in the past, and she is full of looking for a good opportunity to go back and find out the whereabouts of her father and grandfather. , Save Ping'er and others from the fire and water.Therefore, the ambition is strong, so that it is easy to do a lot in action, and it doesn't care about the food and clothing when I was at home in the past. From then on, my grandma is like serving my own grandmother. The house is resting.

Sister Qiao just refused to follow, seeing that Qing'er hadn't brought out tea for a long time, she came over and asked in person, "Is there no more tea?"

Qing'er squatted there and went straight to add firewood to the stove, then raised his head and smiled and said, "Let's wait a while, the water we boiled earlier has been used for breakfast, now we have to boil it now if we want to drink it."

Sister Qiao also squatted down, pushed her and said, "Then go do your work, and I'll boil the water here."

Qing'er smiled and said, "Do you know this?" Sister Qiao said, "Why can't I? These days, only adding firewood and boiling water is the most decent way to learn. If you don't believe me, stand over and watch me burn it once. Got it." Saying that, he squeezed past Qing'er and set himself on fire.Qing'er couldn't help her, so she had to sit aside, gossip with sister Qiao, and pick grain seeds at the same time.

Li Shun saw Qiaojie so close outside the door, half of her body was already crisp, and she was used to being wild in the countryside on weekdays. Although she had seen neat girls, she was not as delicate and generous as Qiaojie. , he is at the age of causing trouble, how can he not think about it.So he turned around and didn't go home. He ran all the way to find Baner, but asked Qiaojie which relative he was from.

Just as he was running to the bridge, he saw that Ban'er had grabbed the medicine and came back. The two ran into each other. Ban'er thought that Li Shun would be annoyed that he still wanted to avoid him, but he didn't want Li Shun to be polite and intimate. He went up to hug him and laughed. Said: "Where did Brother Ban'er come from? It's easy for me to find."

Ban'er was surprised in his heart, but he also smiled on his face and said: "How is Brother Shun? Our grandma's body is not feeling well, so I just went to grab the medicine. Where is Brother Shun going?"

Li Shundao: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just here to find you. I want to ask you, when someone came at home but didn't let us know, if it wasn't for my mother, I would know who it is."

Ban'er guessed who he was talking about, but just pretended to be confused, and secretly inferred that she was the distant sister of the clan's family. She came to live here for two days and then left. She didn't say anything else, and she was afraid of Li Shun. Hearing the wind, he became suspicious of Qiaojie, and hurriedly took the words to distract him and said: "It's a coincidence that you came, I have something to tell you, there are a lot of things at home today, I'm afraid I will go to Mr. Zhou's place." Unexpectedly, Uncle Fu told me yesterday that he wanted to find someone to accompany him. He invited a few young masters from the village next door to have a drink. Why don't you go for me? In other words, it's not a heavy job. I'll replace you when I finish my family affairs. "

When Li Shunjing said this, he put Qiaojie's matter aside in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Why didn't you say this earlier, is Master Fu still living in Zhuangzi? If he is, I will go now."

Ban'er smiled and said that they were over there, and the two separated and left.But they said that the uncle Fu in their mouths was exactly Zhou Fuxiang, the son of Zhou Yuanwai mentioned above, whose nickname was Yanqing, and he came home after rushing the provincial examination. The ministers, ministers, imperial envoys, and deputy imperial envoys, who have children who have not passed the Chinese-style examinations in Beijing and the province's rural areas and are over [-] years old, can choose one of them if they are proficient in literature and science, and send them to the cabinet for an order.

As soon as this decree reached all the provinces and ministries, all the senior members of the family who had children rushing to take the exam all went up and down, like Zhou Fuxiang and others, on the one hand felt that the court was so kind to the officials and nobles, on the other hand, they could only stare blankly, so they felt bad Therefore, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou were worried that he would get sulky at home and get sick, so they asked the servants to bring him to the village.When there is nothing to do, watch the fields plowing, and when there is something to do, order him to take care of him in the house, and it is only serious to ask him to read the book carefully.

Although the boys would agree to everything in person, once they left their own courtyard and came to this unruly place, they were like wild horses running wild.Zhou Fuxiang was also a good-natured boy, and he believed that his nature could not be restrained, so he let them play around and didn't discipline them too much.At that time, Baner was in Zhuangzi for a few days, and he was the same age as Zhou Fuxiang. He was honest and amiable, unlike those out-of-shape boys who surrounded Zhou Fuxiang on weekdays. And studious, although he doesn't have much knowledge, fortunately Zhou Fuxiang was willing to tell him some simple words, and the two met very affectionately.

Li Shun occasionally went to the Zhuangzi with his old lady, and met the young master of the Zhou family a few times, but he was not as familiar with him as Ban Er.Now I heard that there is a shortage of manpower for the young master. Given his good behavior, there is no reason why he didn't catch up with him and show his courtesy.So he went in a hurry, Zhou Fuxiang had already changed into a freshman's shirt, jade-colored silk, wide-sleeved soap rims, and the servants behind him were all wearing blue cloth jackets and Laon shoes on their feet.

Li Shun saw him.He hurriedly stepped forward to ask for safety and said, "Hello, Mr. Fu."

Zhou Fuxiang grabbed his arm with a smile and said, "Why are you here? I told Ban'er earlier that I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's been a long time. Why did he tell you to come together?"

Li Shun bowed and said, "Brother Baner undoubtedly told me, but he didn't come with me. He said that grandma was sick and needed someone to take care of him. He would come to say hello to uncle after he finished his work."

After hearing this, Zhou Fuxiang smiled and said: "The weather is warm and cold, and the elderly people can't bear it. He has such filial piety, so we can't force him to come. Now in the wine shop on the east side, I have already asked people to come. One step at a time, now that you are here, let's go together."

Li Shunxiao agreed, and followed Zhou Fuxiang and the others to the wine shop.
