After walking around the street all morning, Wen Yumu felt very tired.

The kind of tiredness from the inside out.

Xue Yi is also very tired, but he is very energetic, so he looks more energetic than Wen Yumu.

Seeing that the lunch hour was almost over, Young Master Xue finally stopped shopping, and dragged Wen Yumu to his own restaurant for dinner.

This was originally something to be happy about, but Wen Yumu was too tired to cheer up.

But as soon as the food was served, his spirit was lifted a little by the smell of it.

There is always no delay in eating.

After eating and drinking enough, he is ready to continue to fight with Xue Yi for an afternoon - although most of the things are bought for him, but he really feels tired, purely because he doesn't want to spoil Xue Yi's enthusiasm persevere.

However, Xue Yi didn't take him to continue shopping in the afternoon. On the one hand, he could see that he was tired, and on the other hand, it was because there was nothing to buy for the time being.

He took Wen Yumu to his teahouse to listen to the music.

After singing the ditties, there are storytellers and ventriloquist performers.In short, the guests will not be lonely.

When you come to a teahouse to drink tea, what you drink is not the excitement.

The good seats are gone, and the bosses in small county towns don't have the luxury of keeping a seat for themselves at all times.

They found a seat by the window and sat down. Although it was farther away, it was better than being so noisy, and they could still watch the scenery outside the window.

Candied fruit, snacks and pastries, pick the best ones.

Wen Yumu has never experienced this kind of teahouse. In the time he lived, teahouses were places where tea was sold and drunk. There was a person who talked about cross talk as good, and he had to buy a special ticket.

This is still before the end of the world, after the end of the world, drinking tea is enjoyment.

He enjoyed this experience very much and listened with gusto.

But gradually, his mind was attracted by the chatter of the people next to him.

They were talking about an old monk at Yunya Temple.

Yunya Temple is located on Qingtuo Mountain next to Bitan County, and the incense is still strong.

It is said that recently, an uncle of the abbot of their monastery came back. He is really a highly respected eminent monk, and he is good at medicine.

When Wen Yumu heard the words "good medicine", his heart moved, and he listened carefully. This master only recently returned from his travels, and he was overjoyed.

Isn't that the reason for sending it to your door?

Xue Yi's leg must have been treated by famous doctors in the Xue family. He suddenly said that there is a way to cure it, which will definitely arouse suspicion, but won't it be fine if it is pushed to this old monk?

People at the time were superstitious, and the eminent monk in the temple cured the leg disease, so the credibility was extremely high.Even if the leg disease was determined to be incurable by all the famous doctors before, what if the Bodhisattva appeared?

Who can tell.

Having made up his mind, he wanted to inquire more clearly, and took the initiative to talk to him: "Dare to ask this elder brother, what is the name of that eminent monk, is he still practicing on the mountain?"

The two middle-aged men who were chatting looked at each other, sized up Wen Yumu and Xue Yi, and one of them, who was thinner, cupped his hands and said, "My lady asked about this eminent monk. Could it be that there is a patient in the family who needs to be treated?"

little lady...

The corner of Wen Yumu's mouth twitched, and he said with an awkward yet polite smile, "Exactly."

Xue Yiwen looked over, his eyes sparkled with emotion.

The man continued: "That eminent monk has no name, it's not easy for you to ask him to take action."

"Why?"

"He has been retreating to understand the Buddhist principles. When he is lucky, he will save people when he comes out of the customs. But he only saves one person a day. If he misses it, he will have to wait for the next opportunity, so I said no. Easy."

At this time, another fatter person also said: "If it is not a disease that cannot be cured, I advise you to ask a good doctor for diagnosis and treatment earlier. If it cannot be cured, Master Wuguo may not be able to cure it."

"Little lady, don't believe in gods and Buddhas, and miss your family's illness."

Wen Yumu said gratefully: "Thank you two big brothers, I understand."

……

On the way back, Xue Yi took his hand and shook it, a little happy, but also a little disappointed and said: "Don't waste your efforts, my mother-in-law even paid a lot of money to ask someone to see a retired imperial doctor. There are famous doctors in the south of the Yangtze River, who say that the meridian is broken, and if it can be connected, it is already blessed by the ancestors, and it is impossible to recover."

Wen Yu murmured: "How do you know if you don't try it? Maybe there is a unique prescription in the temple."

Xue Yi sighed, "How can there be so many prescriptions for magical weapons, even if it is a unique recipe, the effect of the medicine may not be so good."

He had obviously given up, perhaps because he had failed too many times, which made him fearful and hopeful.

Wen Yumu just smiled without saying a word, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had made up his mind.

Xue Yi's face became gloomy, "Do you just hope that my leg will get better? If it doesn't get better, will you be very disappointed?"

Wen Yumu looked at him amusedly, and wanted to touch his head, but found that he couldn't reach it, so he patted his shoulder instead.

He smiled and said: "Silly, you are not disappointed, I have nothing to be disappointed, I just do my best."

After hearing this, Xue Yi became a little happier, thinking that he hadn't experienced being rejected again and again, and it was normal for him to still have hope.

Since it is a good intention, there is no need to stop him from trying.

And... just in case...

The gloom in his heart was illuminated a little by the arrival of Wen Yumu, and this ray of light made him have a faint hope again.

……

When they got home, as soon as they entered the door, Uncle Wu who was guarding the door said to them: "Second Young Master, Second Young Mistress, Madam told you to go to her courtyard when you come back."

"Understood." Xue Yi turned his head and told Xiaoman, "Put the things in the yard."

He himself brought Wen Yumu to the main courtyard.

Mother Xue and Mrs. Lu were both there. Seeing them, she smiled and said, "But you're back, how did you play? What did you buy?"

"I had a good time and bought some jewelry and clothes." Xue Yi replied.

Mother Xue looked at Wen Yumu again, pointed to a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in green clothes and said, "I just bought this from Ren Yazi today, I thought you would bring a dowry maid Come on, the family is not prepared to use the girl, so you can use it."

Wen Yumu stood up and thanked him.

"This is the deed of prostitution, you can keep it." As soon as the words fell, the woman beside her handed over the deed of prostitution.

After saying a few more words, Mother Xue waved them back.

Wen Yumu led the little girl back to the courtyard and asked, "What's your name?"

"The maidservant's name is Liuya. My mother said that when I arrive at the master's house, the master will give her a name."

Wen Yumu looked at Xue Yi and said, "I'm not very good at naming names, why don't you come here."

Xue Yi glanced at the round face of the little maid, "He and Xiaoman look like a pair of brother and sister, I think it's better to be called Xiaoshu."

Wen Yumu nodded, "I think it's pretty good."

He looked at the little girl again, "What do you think?"

The little girl knelt down and said, "Thank you master for giving me the name."

Wen Yumu hurriedly pulled her up, "Don't kneel, don't just kneel in the future."

Xue Yi also said: "The Xue family doesn't have a rule of bowing down at will, you just salute according to the rules."

"I don't know how those people's teeth are fucked. They just teach some shit." He was a little outraged.

Wen Yu said: "It must be because someone likes it, so Ren Yazi taught it like this."

Xue Yi snorted coldly, "Fish is weak, what kind of skill is it!"

Wen Yumu didn't expect him to be a bit of an angry youth, which may be the characteristic of a scholar.

He called Xiaoman and said to him: "This is Xiaoshu, you take her down, arrange a room for her in the courtyard, and then tell her what to do, she is still a child, take care of her." point."

Xiaoman took a look, and found that the little girl was skinny, but she had a round face, which was quite cute.

He smiled and said, "Okay, just rest assured."

……

That night.

Xue Yi took a shower, automatically pushed open the door of the main room and walked in.

He was only wearing a white tunic and a gown with large sleeves, and his wet hair was loosely draped behind his head.

After he walked in, he took off his robe in a smooth manner, walked to the side of the bed and sat down.

Wen Yumu: "..."

He took a bath in the inner room at night, at that time Xue Yi blushed and avoided going out, thinking that he would not come back, but unexpectedly he ran back after taking a bath outside.

It seemed that he had made up his mind to sleep with him.

It's nothing... Anyway, it's just sleeping under the quilt.

And the two of them were not covered by the same quilt.

Although Xue Yi wears fewer and fewer clothes...

But the middle clothes are also very conservative, just a little more skin is exposed on the chest!

Wen Yumu expressed that he could accept it!

He resigned himself to lying on his side.

It's all here, what else can I do.

Xue Yi turned his head to look at him, his dark eyes filled with joy.

Wen Yumu felt that the half of his face that he was staring at was a little hot, and deliberately diverted his attention: "By the way, you told the scholar surnamed Zhao today that you are going to be a teacher in the academy, but is it true?"

Xue Yidao: "Of course it's true. I always have a serious business to do. Xue's family is rich. I dare not say that it is the only one in Bitan County, and it is at least the top three. Both my father and elder brother have gone... My mother My sister-in-law and I have been worried that the family will not be able to protect this huge family property without the protection of fame and fame."

"I specifically asked for the head of the mountain, and I also thought that the teachers of the academy are the most respected by people. If I can teach a few people to raise scholars, no one in Bitan County will dare to touch me easily."

Wen Yumu appreciates his idea very much. He is only 16 years old this year, and he was once the darling of heaven when he was 12 years old. He was able to change his mentality so quickly and find a far-reaching plan for his family in times of hardship. , it is really not easy.

Becoming a teacher, going one step further, becoming a famous teacher, the benefits are indeed endless.

It's just that this road is not easy, even harder than getting a Jinshi.

After all, in this world, there are hundreds of Jinshi every three years, but how many famous teachers are there?

But Xue Yi is very confident, and his self-confidence comes from his pride in his own knowledge.

Wen Yumu said softly: "I believe you can."

Xue Yi laughed, his eyes crooked.

As the night deepened, the voice of their chatting gradually decreased.

... Xue Yi fell asleep.

His sleeping posture is still so regular, but his head is slightly tilted towards Wen Yumu, as if leaning against him.

The distance between them is obviously one foot wide, but there is an inexplicable intimacy that lingers.
