Zhou Fuxiang also came over with her and said, "Is Yuan Mao worried about your brother? Don't worry, he is a veteran sheep herder, but you, it's still cold today, you seem to be wearing less clothes, hurry up." Come and sit down in the house, and I will let them cage the charcoal basin as usual, so that we will not be afraid of the cold when we study again." Then he took sister Qiao's hand and asked people to light the charcoal basin.

Qiaojie wanted to break free, but she didn't dare to alarm anyone too much, so she let him drag her back into the house.Zhou Fuxiang followed her to sit on the narrow couch, took a thick stack of books from the desk case, sat on the opposite side of Qiaojie, took out one and handed it to Qiaojie, smiling: "Today we will read this book. Well, I only read a few pages yesterday, Yuanmao, you should read it too, see if you have read this book before."

Sister Qiao stared sideways and saw that it was a copy of the Thirteen Classics. She touched the writing on it and said with a smile, "Where did you get this book? It's a good book."

Zhou Fuxiang said: "You haven't opened it yet, how do you know what's good about it?"

Sister Qiao said with a smile, "it's good if it's a book, not to mention it's been handed down for so many years." Then, she opened a volume at random, which was "Guofeng".A poem of Han Guang in "Zhou Nan" reads: "There are trees in the south, you can't stop thinking about it, and there are wandering women in Han Dynasty, you can't think about it. The Han Dynasty is so vast that you can't think about it. The river is forever and you can't think about it. "Halfway through the reading, I already understood what the poem meant in my heart, so I hurriedly stopped reading.

Seeing her stop, Zhou Fuxiang said, "Why don't you read it? This poem is very well written, and you read it very well."

Sister Qiao closed the page and said with a smile, "Although the poem is good, it's a bit too sentimental."

Zhou Fuxiang was quite surprised and said, "Does Yuan Mao know the meaning of this poem?"

Sister Qiao nodded lightly and said: "I know a little bit, the poet pursues his beloved woman, and because he can't ask for it, he mourns and writes poems. Although the love is full, it is still pitiful to read. Now that the uncle has a high reputation, this book also It’s just for viewing at leisure, so it’s not like putting it on the table to study it with great concentration.” After finishing speaking, he put the Thirteen Classics aside, and took another Analects to read.

Zhou Fuxiang sneered suddenly, and pushed aside the book that Qiao Jie had put down, and said with a snort, "Yuan Mao is so vulgar. Could it be that only "The Analects", "University", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "Mencius" are books for study in this world? , other books are not good for entertainment in leisure time? I think Yuanmao’s speech is different from others, so I would like to take this book to talk to you. Now that you think highly of me and only want to read and write Analects of Confucius, then It can be seen that I can't afford to invite you, so please go back wherever you came from." After speaking, she seemed to be extremely angry, turned her head away, and did not look at Sister Qiao's expression.

Sister Qiao sat there with her head bowed, unconsciously turning the pages of the Analects of Confucius in her hands, her face blushing up to her ears.In fact, what she said just now was not true.It's just because people in the world are greedy for fame and fortune, and she came from a prosperous family, so she knows the seriousness of fame and fortune, and also knows that if she wants to stand out in the world, talent alone is not enough, she also needs to cultivate a whole body of sophistication.So Zhou Fuxiang took the Book of Songs to comment on her, and she thought it was because he wanted to test whether she could bear the patience to accompany the reading, but she didn't think that Zhou Fuxiang was really a temperamental person, and would get annoyed if he disagreed.

Biting her lip, she sat there for a while, because she never had anything to make people happy at home in the past years, and most of the people accompanying her were as she wished, seeing Zhou Fuxiang's face turned cold and making things difficult, sister Qiao instinctively stood up Can't live.I thought about it for a while, no matter how much I thought I couldn't embarrass Ban'er and the others, and I couldn't be criticized for it, so I got up and pushed the Analects of Confucius in front of Zhou Fuxiang, turned my head and went out.The boy who came in with the charcoal basin was taken aback, and hurriedly asked what was the matter.

Seeing him going out, Zhou Fuxiang wanted to yell to stop, but when he looked down at the Analects, he felt bored, so he could only sit there and mutter a few words to the boy, suppressing the rushing voice.

But Sister Qiao walked straight out of that room, and at a glance, she saw a big Zhuangzi, with chickens, ducks and geese singing on the left and right, and green hills on the front and back.Recalling what Ban'er said earlier about going to the hillside to herd sheep, he looked around, and seemed to see a group of white flowers in the south, and felt that it was a flock of sheep, so he walked there.Tired and dripping with sweat, I climbed to the top of the mountain. I looked up, but I couldn’t see the boards, but I could see the boundless light yellow new willows from a distance. There was a whitewashed wall in the woods. There was a small stream between the willow trees on both banks. In the next piece of green field, several figures are busy plowing the fields.Sister Qiao was stunned. In the past, she had only read in books that "beans are planted at the foot of the southern mountain, and the grass is full of bean sprouts. The morning revival cleans up the wasteland, and brings the moon lotus to hoe back." She never imagined that she would see it with her own eyes one day.She was intoxicated by the mountains and rivers, when Ban Er just rushed to Zhou Fuxiang's place from the slope, thinking about how sister Qiao was studying with her.Unexpectedly, when I went in and asked, there was a young man who had a good relationship with him in the past and hurriedly grabbed him, telling him not to go in, saying that the uncle just got angry with his new companion, and he might have a good meal if he went in now Said.

The words made Ban'er's heart jump wildly, he grabbed the boy and asked where the companion was reading, the boys all shook their heads and said they didn't know, and went outside.Ban'er was almost paralyzed from fright when he heard it, and only said that Qiao Jie had such a temperament, and she was also a Miss Hou Men. If there was a conflict with Zhou Fuxiang, if he thought of running home again, he would fall into the hands of the government. , will definitely not be punished lightly.Unable to avoid confusion, he suddenly pushed away the questioning boy, ran out in the direction of his finger.

Zhou Fuxiang had already heard the sound in the room, and was waiting for Ban'er to come in and ask him before he could speak.Unexpectedly, Ban'er walked away without even entering the door, and hastily asked someone to call the boy who answered: "Just now, Ban'er told you something, why did you go out in such a hurry?"

The boy scratched his head, and said half-truthfully, "Brother Ban came to ask how his brother was doing, and the slave said that the young master had gone out earlier, so Brother Ban asked where he was going, and the slave pointed him out." For a moment, I don’t want Brother Ban to be so frightened that he ran out before the servant finished speaking, he must have gone to find his brother.”

Zhou Fuxiang half leaned on the couch, pursed his lips in silence, and after a while he ordered: "Go out and see how Ban'er and his brothers are doing, if you see them, let them come to me, just say it's my intention, just now I offended Yuan Mao with reckless words, and I will apologize to him."

The boys looked at each other in blank dismay, and then hurriedly went out together to find Ban'er and Qiaojie separately.

The flock of sheep ran happily on the hillside. Sister Qiao didn't have access to these live animals on weekdays. At home, it was only at the end of the year that Wu Jinxiao and other tenants offered live sheep. The wet nurse and mother took her to see them from a distance. Under the sun, the wool of the wool is shining silver, which is really strange.Now it is all over the mountains and fields, surrounded by clumps of clumps all over her body. Sister Qiao dissipated most of her anger with joy, and even her thoughts of looking for boards faded a lot. She just picked up a branch and followed behind the sheep. Running, drove the flock of sheep from east to west, and from west to east, without a moment of peace.

Ban'er saw something unusual about the flock of sheep at the foot of the hill, and saw a figure running up and down. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could guess the general idea by looking at the net scarf on the man's head. It was funny and angry at the same time. , I can finally catch my breath.

Sister Qiao still didn't know that Ban'er was looking for her, and was having fun driving the flock of sheep, when she suddenly turned around and saw a person standing behind her, she jumped in surprise, fixed her eyes on Ban'er, then waved the branch in her hand and ran towards He said, "Do you herd sheep here every day?"

Ban'er ran up from the bottom of the mountain, he was too tired to speak, he breathed out with difficulty, grabbed Qiaojie's hand and asked, "Okay...how did you...how did you come out from Mr. Fu? I heard them say... that you and Mr. Fu are annoyed, what is going on?"

Sister Qiao frowned when she heard the words, brushed the branch carelessly across the grass in her hand, and said calmly after a long while: "Differences in ways do not conspire with each other, that's all."

Ban'er was stunned for a while, then let go of his hand and circled around Qiaojie, then he took a breath and said: "Could it be that the uncle said something about you?"

Qiaojie lowered her head, shook her head and said nothing.Ban'er became more and more suspicious, turned around to look at her again and said, "So, what did the people around him say about you?"

Qiaojie still shook her head, Ban'er sighed helplessly, so she had to stand in front of her, half bent down, met Qiaojie's apricot eyes and said: "Little aunt, what's the matter, you should tell me something. Just now Si'er, they all told me not to go in, the uncle is angry with you, and now you are like this, what should I do."

Miss Qiao muttered in a low voice, but she couldn't hear clearly, so she had to go to ask again, only to hear that Miss Qiao said that she was not going to study with Lao Shizi, and she wanted to stay on the hillside to herd sheep.Ban'er couldn't laugh or cry when he said a word, he looked up at the flock of sheep, then at Qiaojie and said, "Even if you are herding the sheep, you should say what you should say clearly. You have been wronged. At this moment, you and the uncle are like this. I just ask a few questions. If there are rumors in Zhuangzi and grandma wants to ask again, what can I say? Dear sister, just tell me, it is really the uncle who told you What, then I should vent your anger on your behalf." As she spoke, she seemed to be afraid that Miss Qiao would not believe her, so she quickly rolled up her sleeves and swore her arms.

Qiao Jie's original remaining three points of anger, let him mix it up for no reason, but it completely disappeared.With a slight smile, he put down the sleeves for Baner, and said coquettishly: "It's not as serious as brother thought, but it's just that the uncle wants to read a book, but I don't want to, so I just said I was annoyed. When I just came out, the uncle said Since we read different books, I don’t need to go again. I was looking for my brother when I came out, but I didn’t see you when I went around. I happened to see this flock of sheep and read it again. Planting beans is really interesting, if you don't mind my brother, why don't you take me to herd the sheep with you."

Ban'er burst out laughing when he heard it, people who have read too many Xindao books will become a bit sour, but it is really mindless to get red-faced because of a book.Hearing that Sister Qiao said that she wanted to herd the sheep with him, she smiled and said: "The matter of herding sheep is easy to talk about, but we still have to think about how to hide the fact that we can't do it together, so as not to let grandma and the others misunderstand. "

Sister Qiao smiled and was about to nod, when she saw two or three people running up from the hillside from a distance, all of them were in green clothes and hats, Ban'er didn't even turn her head when she heard the movement, and when she saw the person who came first, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile: "Four Son, why are you here too?"
