The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

It was windy outside, and the air seemed to be even colder. Xiao San shivered and finally climbed onto the bed silently. He stuffed himself into the quilt, feeling a little aggrieved. He had never been so aggrieved in his life. Xiao San turned his back to Mu Hongyuan lay down and curled up into a ball. Seeing this, Mu Hongyuan couldn't bear it.

"Why don't you turn around! I think you seem a bit pitiful." Mu Hongyuan thought for a while and said: "And you hide so far, the seam of the quilt is too big, it's windy."

Xiao San turned over and lay down silently, and continued to think about his wife, the quilt was finally airtight, and Mu Hongyuan also felt a little sleepy, he twisted comfortably a few times to close his eyes and rest.

"Why don't you go home?" Xiao San asked casually, "If you go home, these two quilts will be mine."

Mu Hongyuan opened his eyes, he was stunned for a moment before realizing Xiao San's meaning, he really understood Xiao San's mood, and he also had some sympathy, if he hadn't forced him in, although Xiao San wouldn't be too warm tonight, but It's not so aggrieved and miserable, he can see that Xiao San doesn't seem to like to be in close contact with people, he is especially wary of others, and he is not used to sleeping on the same bed with others, let alone the two of them now She was also forced to close the quilt.

"Ah, this!" Mu Hongyuan blinked, "something happened at home, I don't like the way things are done at home, so I don't want to go home."

something wrong?whats the matter?Xiao San thought to himself, Mu Hongyuan had already spoken again, "Besides, I get along well with Shen Ling, so I came to find him."

Xiao San thought about the matter of Shen Ling again. In fact, he could see that the reason why Shen Ling could develop to this day was basically due to the fact that Mu Mansion was behind him, allowing Shen Linghu to pretend to be a tiger, and it seemed that only Mu Hongyuan was sincere to Shen Ling in the Mu Mansion. In all honesty, Mu Wu was a slave, and was directly ignored by Xiao San.

"You and Shen Ling seem to have a good relationship?"

"Well, good brother."

"Good brother? What a good brother, huh... Aren't you afraid that he will take advantage of you? If it weren't for you, Shen Ling would not be where he is today, but his attitude towards you is not very good." It can be said that he is not polite at all. .Xiao San said slowly, his tone was very peaceful, as if he was just chatting casually.

"Use it! Use it! Use it. I'm happy to help him. He is my brother. If something happens to me, he will definitely help me. As for his attitude, Shen Ling has a bad temper. Don't look at being gentle and polite when he smiles at others. Yes, that's all pretense, the more polite he is to someone, the less he really cares about anyone, that's what a real good friend should be like, fight or make trouble, why should you be so polite?" Mu Hongyuan slapped a hache.

Yeah?Xiao San was stunned, almost no one in his memory dared to fight or make trouble with him, even the best friends, such as Duan Rui and others, most of the time they were respectful and polite to him, but Occasionally jumping out and making some harmless jokes, he already feels that they have a very good relationship with each other, and they are friends who can let go of their identities.

"Brother Mu!" Xiao San whispered.

"Ah?" Mu Hongyuan forced himself to open his eyes and looked at the bed curtain.

"If you were my brother, would you really be able to let go of your identity and prejudices? Even if I use you, won't you be angry?"

Xiao San was somewhat puzzled by Mu Hongyuan's rare silence this time, he thought that Mu Hongyuan would take it for granted that he would, and he felt that Mu Hongyuan was such a person.

"I do not know."

"Why?" Xiao San was a little impatient. Shen Ling could just use him, and Mu Hongyuan could put aside his status to befriend him and become friends. Why couldn't he?

"I think so! You are different from Shen Ling. Although Shen Ling has deep thoughts, he will really treat others well if others treat him well. For example, Han Shi, like me, but you seem to be different." Mu Hongyuan did not There is something different about it, but Xiao San understands it very well, he knows what Mu Hongyuan said, but he can't refute it.

Mu Hongyuan closed his eyes and went to sleep, leaving Xiao San alone to think about his words and sulk silently.

The next day, Shen Ling sent his servants to buy quilts. It seemed that the spring was cold recently, and there were really not enough quilts at home.After Mu Hongyuan packed up the things needed to apply for the exam, he went to Shen Ling to go to the county government office to register. Xiao San actually followed, and Shen Ling said in surprise: "Brother Xiao, you also want to apply for the exam?"

"Of course!" Xiao San nodded.

Shen Ling paused for a moment, feeling that the third prince might not understand the rules of civil application for the examination, so he said: "To apply for the examination, you need to provide proof of household registration and child birth, and you must be a local."

"That's right!" Xiao San continued to nod, Duan Rui had already helped him solve it, did he really think that there was a prince's family in Huaizhou City, and this Huaizhou really belonged to the prince?Just kidding, you must not look at things in such a one-sided and general way. In a county, dragons and snakes are mixed. How can one or two people in high positions completely control it.

Shen Ling didn't say anything more, what he said was very clear, but Mu Hongyuan was puzzled, "Brother Xiao is not your distant relative, is he from Huaizhou? What do you mean by those words just now?"

Although Mu Hongyuan is not an extremely smart person, he is definitely not a fool. He can still vaguely discover many things. Moreover, Shen Ling has already said it very clearly at this moment, so he almost told him clearly. Xiao San is not a relative of Shen Ling, nor a native of Huaizhou.

"Master Xiao is not your relative?" Mu Hongyuan paused.

Shen Ling turned to look at Mu Hongyuan. More than once, he wanted to tell Mu Hongyuan to stay away from Xiao San. Don't come over to tease him if you have nothing to do. He also competed with him for food, seats, carriages, and even beds. What's wrong with being held hostage, Shen Ling said: "Ah? Oh, Mr. Xiao is my patient, staying at my house temporarily, so he just found an excuse."

Xiao San nodded and looked at Mu Hongyuan.

Mu Hongyuan instantly understood, "So that's how it is. You kept it from me for so long. I thought Xiao San was your relative! There's no need to hide it. You two really are." Mu Hongyuan chuckled casually. Next, throw it behind your head.

Shen Ling looked at Mu Hongyuan speechlessly, do you really stop thinking about the deeper meaning?Just throw it away so casually? !

Xiao San smiled and patted Shen Ling's shoulder, Shen Ling turned his head and said, "There are quite a lot of caravans traveling with us along this journey!"

Xiao San nodded, "There are quite a few, what a coincidence."

The three of them went together to the county government office where they applied. When Mu Hongyuan reported his birthplace, the school officer in charge of recording respectfully saluted Mu Hongyuan, "So it's the second son, sorry."

"What kind of disrespect!" Mu Hongyuan waved his hands casually, and said with a smile: "I'm almost becoming a regular visitor here. I take the exam every year, and land every year. Maybe I have to land this year."

"Second son is talented and intelligent. I think it's just bad luck a few years ago. I think he must be able to pass high school in this subject." The academic officer smiled lightly.

"Thank you for your good words. Anyway, I have heard it many times." Mu Hongyuan cupped his hands before leaving.

The other students who lined up behind them looked better. Even Master Futai's young master had landed several times. It seemed that their scientific examination in Huaizhou was fair and there was nothing tricky about it.

Shen Ling signed up and went out. Mu Hongyuan stood in the corner and waited. Seeing Shen Ling approaching, he muttered, "I say this every year when I see you, so I have to repeat it every year. I landed many times to prevent the group of people behind me from eating me."

Shen Ling chuckled and didn't answer. If Mu Hongyuan didn't emphasize this point, I'm afraid that other students who heard it would subconsciously think that Mu Hongyuan would definitely become a scholar through the back door, and would have a hostile attitude towards Mu Hongyuan. I have already taken the exam several times and landed every time.

Xiao San signed up and came over, Shen Ling looked at the wooden sign Xiao San got, didn't say anything, just thought for a while, Huaizhou City may not be monolithic!No wonder this master dared to come to Huaizhou.

"Let's go!" Xiao San laughed.

The two nodded and headed towards the gate of the county government.

"Second brother." A young man in a coarse cloth gown walked towards the three of them with a smile, "I looked like you from a distance just now, so it is really second brother."

Shen Ling frowned, and only after she recognized it could she be sure that it was Shen San. The child grew up fast, and after not seeing him for a year, coupled with the change in temperament, Shen Ling didn't think of the Shen family for a long time, and almost forgot about him. Appearance, "Third brother." Shen Ling smiled as he stretched out his hand without hitting the smiling face.

"Is the third brother also coming to apply for the exam? Okay! Then don't bother me." Shen Ling nodded, and was about to leave, and did not intend to introduce the people around him to Shen San.

"I've already applied for the exam." Shen San took the initiative to approach, and Shen Ling had to stop, before Shen San cupped his hands to the two people beside Shen Ling: "Mr. Mu, hello, Mr. Mu."

"You know me?" Mu Hongyuan pointed to himself and smiled.

"I overheard the conversation between the academic officer and Mr. Mu just now." Shen San said.

Mu Hongyuan nodded and rubbed his nose, "Oh, it's okay. This is Xiao San, Mr. Xiao. You are Shen Ling's third brother, right? I heard Shen Ling mentioned you and said that you are good at school."

Shen San laughed, "Really? It's not as good as the second brother said, it's just mediocre."

Shen Ling never remembered that he told the Shen family that he was called Shen Ling outside, and Shen San adapted very well. When Mu Hongyuan said Shen Ling, he just took his seat, and he didn't even need to explain.

Mu Hongyuan hadn't heard much about the Shen family from Shen Ling. Shen Ling was the least willing to talk about family members. He occasionally chatted with Shen Ling, and Shen Ling just casually mentioned a few people in the family and what they did. He just knew that the third son of the Shen family went to school, and he made up all the things about his good grades. Anyway, those who praised him said that he was good at grades, so there was no problem.

The three of Shen Ling didn't speak, and Shen San said by himself: "Second brother, it's been almost a year since you left, and you haven't even been back for the Chinese New Year. Parents miss you very much, why don't you go home together after the exam? !"

Shen Ling nodded, "That's what I'm planning to do! It's not that I don't want to go home, it's just that there are so many things outside, and your sister-in-law is pregnant and giving birth, and it's just at the end of the new year. I'm planning to take it back to the family tree!"

Shen San nodded, "That's right. Speaking of which, I haven't met my little nephew yet. Where do you live, second brother? I'm in Hongwen Inn. Does second brother also live in a hotel? I'll visit another day?"

Xiao San raised his eyebrows at Mu Hongyuan, is this his brother?Didn't even know that Shen Ling had a family and a hospital in Huaizhou?Mu Hongyuan shook his head slightly, he didn't know anything.

Shen Ling said: "I have a small courtyard in Huaizhou, and I live at home."

"That's fine, I don't know where the address is? I can also visit."

Shen Ling was unwilling to tell Shen San the address, but he couldn't refuse. After all, he was a blood relative in name. Shen San asked him for his address in a good manner. , I went back to Cheng County after that, not afraid of him coming to visit, so I told Shen San's address.

Then Shen San nodded and said: "Then I will go to see my little nephew another day. By the way, my mother accompanied me here for this exam and lives in the inn. If her old man knows that she has a grandson, she must Very happy, second brother, I will take my mother to your place to see you tomorrow!"

"Okay." Shen Ling could only nod.

After Shen San left, Shen Ling rubbed the center of her eyebrows, feeling a little bored.
