surrogate wife

Wen Yumu gathered his clothes, because the bamboo basket on his back was falling backwards, pulling his collar and always leaning to one side.

He never saw Xue Yi's slightly red eye sockets, and Xue Yi didn't want him to see them either. He opened his eyes and let the tears dry in them without falling.

"Didn't you say that the people in the river are bullying you? The mountain products are almost picked. Let's go fishing now. Tonight, we will have fish head tofu soup and braised fish." Wen Yumu looked at the sparkling eyes. The shimmering river surface smiled and said.

Xue Yi rubbed his eyes and said with a smile, "That's very good."

Wen Yumu looked back, but saw that he was rubbing his eyes, which turned red. He couldn't help but said, "But the wind and sand blinded my eyes? I just finished digging bamboo shoots, and you rubbed your eyes again without cleaning your hands. How could it be better?"

He took Xue Yi's hand and took him to the river, "I haven't washed my hands just now, wait a minute, I'll take a look for you after I wash my hands."

Xue Yi also squatted beside him to wash his hands, and said while washing, "No need, I'm fine."

Wen Yumu took a look at him and found that although his eye sockets were red, his eyes were clean and bright, and he didn't look like he was in pain, so he relieved himself and said with a smile that it would be fine.

He took off the bamboo basket and put it on the river bank, lifted the hem of his robe and tied it around his waist, and walked deeper into the river bed, where lush reeds grew, and the slender poles and flexible leaves could be used to make a simple net.

"Yeah—" He had just pulled out one when he was scratched by a leaf.

Hearing his cry of pain, Xue Yi rushed over, "What's wrong?"

Wen Yumu spread his hands with a wry smile, only to see a long and thin cut in the white palm, and blood dripped out.He forgot that he had changed his body now, and he never expected to be so tender.

Xue Yi took his hand, lowered his head and sucked the wound in distress, trying to help him stop the bleeding, the warm tip of his tongue gently stroked the palm of his hand.

"I shouldn't have asked you to do this kind of rough work for a fish." The wound was very thin, and the bleeding soon stopped, and he lightly touched his palm painfully, blaming himself.

Wen Yumu clasped his palms, opened them again, and said to him with a smile, "Look, there is no bleeding anymore, but today we won't be able to eat fish."

Xue Yi said disconsolately: "I will never catch fish again."

Wen Yu smiled, and smoothed the hair of his little friend, "It's okay, let's let the people from the big kitchen fish, and we must catch all the fish in this piece."

Xue Yi was still gloomy, and pulled him to go back, "I won't fish, and I won't eat fish today, let's go back and bandage your wound."

"A little injury, it has healed before we go home."

Xue Yi didn't listen, but halfway back, the wound had scabbed over.

His face was ugly, and he said worriedly: "Although the injury is healed, but there is no medicine to remove the scar at home, what if there is a scar?"

Such a thin wound... how could it leave a scar.

The corner of Wen Yumu's mouth twitched, he stroked his hair, and said in a rare voice: "Okay, I've said it's all right, don't worry about it anymore."

Xue Yi had no choice but to keep silent, but he lost his temper, snorted softly, and fell into a unilateral cold war, with words written all over his body to coax me.

Wen Yumu didn't like him much now, he really didn't understand what to worry about a little injury, so he refused to let him go down the steps, the two of them froze, and walked back without saying a word.

After walking for a while, Wen Yumu felt his hand tighten, but it was Xue Yi who secretly held his hand.

The corners of his mouth curled up, secretly thinking that he himself had also become childish, and became angry with him.

He held his hand back, and the turmoil disappeared quietly like this.

Back in the courtyard, Mrs. Wen just happened to open the door and come out.

Her eyes swept over their intertwined hands, then moved away, falling on Wen Yumu's face, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I was going to look for you, if I go out earlier, I will miss you." .”

Wen Yumu smiled and said: "As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to come by coincidence. Why is Madam looking for me?"

Mrs. Wen said: "A few days ago, my husband and I had a lot of delicious food with you. No, I also cleaned up a table today. I want to invite you young couple to my house for dinner."

It turns out that this is a signal that the relationship is getting closer, and Wen Yumu readily agrees.

"It just so happened that I also picked some mountain products, so I also fried two side dishes as a supplement." He said.

"That would be the best."

After making a decision, Mrs. Wen left. They went back to tidy up, changed into new clothes, and went to the next door Wen's small courtyard to attend the appointment.

When we arrived, we saw Mr. Lu Shanzhang and Mrs. Lu also there.

Mrs. Wen smiled and took Wen Yumu's hand to sit down, "Today's family banquet, you don't have to be polite."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Xue Yi again, "Mr. Xue Xiaolang, your wife lent me, please sit next to Wen Yuan, okay?"

Xue Yi cupped his hands, "Ma'am, you are welcome."

He always looked calm in front of outsiders, with an air of dignity and arrogance, and it was considered polite to bow his hands, and everyone accepted it very friendly for the sake of face.

After sitting down, Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Lu talked to Wen Yumu, and there was no rule of keeping one's word. Mr. Wen and Lu Wenyuan also talked, and Xue Yi was also pulled into the topic.

Although Wen Yumu chatted with the two wives about home affairs, he also paid attention to Xue Yi's side. After listening for a while, he felt something unusual.

This Mr. Wen, together with Lu Shanchang, consciously or unconsciously guided Xue Yi to express his views on some government affairs of the court, and occasionally asked him some academic questions, as if chatting here and there, but It always feels like it has a purpose.

He is very vigilant in this regard. After all, in the last days, if you can't discern the intentions in other people's words, you will die ugly.

However, seeing that most of them asked about people's livelihood or laws and regulations, and didn't ask in-depth questions, he was relieved.

Mr. Wen looks like a calm and personable elder, not like a bad guy.He can also trust Lu Shanchang's character. They should have another purpose this time, not to deceive Xue Yi.

I don't know if Xue Yi has noticed it.He thought to himself, he is so smart, he should have noticed it too.

Xue Yizi had already noticed it a long time ago. He felt that he had nothing to say to others. Except for a little restraint in some opinions, he answered freely, without fear or concealment.

The young man was full of energy, his face was like a crown of jade, his voice was like a young phoenix, and he talked eloquently without stage fright, which attracted the two wives Wen Lu to look at him frequently, showing admiration in their eyes.

Lu Shanchang was more lively, he couldn't help stroking his beard when he saw this, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing this kid is not of the same age as me, otherwise my wife will definitely abandon me."

Mrs. Lu gave him a blank look, "What are you talking about?"

She was not shy, and said: "At my age, why do I like to see more good-looking young people? Little Xue Langjun is very good, and his wife is also very good, I like them all."

Lu Shanchang retreated in defeat, turned his head and cupped his hands, letting the big sleeve robe cover his face, "Ma'am, don't blame me, don't blame me."

Both of them have a calm temperament, and they sang and composed, which made everyone laugh.

Mrs. Wen also smiled and said: "Yes, I love to see those good-looking young people, especially Mrs. Xue. I love him very much. I wish he was born by me."

Mr. Wen had a smile on his face, and he was as motionless as a mountain. He only frowned slightly when he heard this.

Mrs. Lu answered with a joke, "That's very good, let's divide it up one by one."

Everyone laughed again, Wen Yumu tasted a little taste from the intimacy of the two wives, could it be that they want to get married?

He wasn't sure, but if so, he would be happy. Mrs. Wen treated him very well, and they really got along very well.

What's more, it was originally his intention to get married first.

The two men in charge of the family did not express their opinions on the spot, and the people did not mention it again, so the matter came to an end for the time being.

After drinking and eating, Xue Yi and Wen Yumu bid farewell and left, but Lu Shanchang and his wife stayed behind.

After they left, Lu Wenyuan stroked his beard, and asked Wen Ruhui triumphantly, "How, this kid can catch your eyes?"

Although he was asking a question, he could hear a strong sense of ridicule from his smug tone.

Wen Ruhui nodded, and said: "Such a talented and beautiful person, you actually resisted not accepting him as an apprentice."

Lu Wenyuan said: "I am determined to teach and educate people to open an academy, and it is for his own good not to accept him."

He said with some emotion: "I originally wanted to recommend it to you when he won the imperial examination and went to the capital to take the exam. Who would have thought that something happened to him and he injured his leg and couldn't take the imperial examination again."

"This time his leg disease has improved, so I thought about it again."

Wen Ruhui said: "After this incident, I value his character and disposition more."

"There are many proud sons of heaven in this world who can't get up once they fall. This son can still calm down after falling from the clouds. Teaching and educating people here with you shows that he has tenacity and pride in him, and he refuses to be broken by wind and rain."

Lu Wenyuan clapped his hands and smiled, "Exactly."

Wen Ruhui was introverted, so he couldn't help but smile comfortably at this moment: "Call him to the main hall tomorrow, and I'll ask him formally, if he would like to worship me as a teacher."

Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Lu sat aside and looked at each other, both smiling.

The next day, Lu Wenyuan dragged Xue Yi to the main hall of the academy early in the morning, "Boy, I've paved the road for you, and you have to walk more steadily in the future."

Hearing this, Xue Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?"

"You'll know when you go, you have to know, I won't harm you, I must take care of it later, don't offend your petty temper."

He was very anxious and wished he could lift his head and tell him about life, but his brother-in-law didn't allow him to reveal too much, so he could only hint wildly.

Xue Yi was thoughtful, and was dragged into the main hall by him.

Above the main hall, that Mr. Wen was already sitting there, his whole body was majestic and majestic, even in plain clothes, he could not be ignored.

"Xue Yi, would you like to worship me as your teacher?" He didn't go around the bush and said straight to the point.

Xue Yi raised his eyebrows, Lu Wenyuan saw that he seemed to be about to say something, blinked crazily, said anything, knelt down and recognized it!

Xue Yi turned a blind eye and bowed his hands, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have a request."

"Oh? You still have a request?" Wen Ruhui stroked his beard and asked him, "Boy, do you know who I am?"

"No matter who it is, if you want me to be a teacher, you must first agree to my request."

Wen Ruhui showed curiosity, and said casually: "If I am the first rank in the dynasty, what about the master of the gods today?"

Xue Yi was shocked, it turned out to be him!The first assistant is as warm as dark!

Rao Yixue's arrogant temperament that he doesn't care about fame and wealth can't help but be greatly touched.

He stabilized his mind and cupped his hands again, "Even so, I will persist."

Wen Ruhui said: "Aren't you afraid of making me angry, not only did you miss the opportunity to ask me to be your teacher, but you will also arouse my disgust?"

Xue Yidao: "I believe you are an open-minded person, even if I don't know how to flatter you, you won't care about me."

"Ha." Wen Ruhui smiled, "It's not just being arrogant and upright."

"So, tell me, what do you want?"

Xue Yi straightened his spine and said: "If you want me to be a teacher, then I must be convinced by the master's knowledge. My request is: you ask a question, I ask a question, and we answer together. If there are two questions You are better than me, so I am convinced."

After Wen Ruhui listened, he smiled brightly, pointed at him and said, "Good boy, interesting."

"Go ahead and ask questions, I will accompany you to the end."
