My Gentleman Reborn

Chapter 49 Encounter

He Yuzhou started cooking. He picked the beans he had grown outside the yard and stir-fried one in oil, and then fried a flower petal. After thinking about it, he steamed an egg for Zhao Xiaoqing.

When it was done, Zhao Xiaoqing just came back.

He Yuzhou greeted him with a smile, and Zhao Xiaoqing called him politely: "Sister Zhou."

He Yuzhou reluctantly agreed, took his small bag and put it away, saying, "How was your day today?"

Zhao Xiaoqing was taken aback for a moment, and replied: "Fortunately, Master told us "Rituals"..." Speaking of this, Zhao Xiaoqing suddenly paused, pursed his mouth and stopped talking.

He Yuzhou looked at it and stopped asking, but said, "Wash your hands and eat first."

"Okay." Zhao Xiaoqing responded obediently, and went outside to wash his hands with a spoon of water.

He Yuzhou arranged the dishes and food.

Zhao Xiaoqing was slightly taken aback when he saw the petals, and asked curiously, "Sister Zhou, what is this?"

"This is gardenia petals. It tastes pretty good, crisp and refreshing. Let Xiaoqing see if he likes it."

Zhao Xiaoqing blinked and looked at it, and said in surprise: "My sister can always find a lot of delicious things."

He Yuzhou laughed: "Is Xiaoqing indirectly saying that I like to eat?"

Zhao Xiaoqing said: "There's nothing wrong with liking food, because my sister likes to eat, so I can find so many foods, and I can taste them."

He Yuzhou smiled lightly, tapped his forehead and said, "Stop being so talkative, eat quickly, or you'll get cold."

"Okay." Zhao Xiaoqing responded, holding up the chopsticks.

Eating, sleeping, and sleeping are completely reflected in this child. When he eats, he chews slowly, sits upright, looks ahead, and holds up the bowl with a serious look. There is only the sound of chewing while eating. , Even the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding is very soft.

He Yuzhou watched and couldn't help but admire Uncle Zhao for teaching him so well.

After dinner, Zhao Xiaoqing looked at He Yuzhou, hesitated to speak, He Yuzhou looked at him several times, and when he met He Yuzhou's eyes, he looked away uncomfortably.

He Yuzhou frowned, and after washing the dishes, he directly moved the stool to Zhao Xiaoqing and asked him, "Does Xiaoqing have something to say to me?"

Zhao Xiaoqing was stunned when he heard the words, closed his eyes and remained silent, while He Yuzhou was waiting for him to speak, after a while he pursed his lips and said, "Actually, Sister Zhou, I had a quarrel with my master today."

"!" He Yuzhou stared slightly, how could Zhao Xiaoqing quarrel with his master when he was so well-behaved and sensible?

"The master said that men's clothes and women's clothes should not be worn wrongly. Those who wear them wrongly are disrespectful and disrespectful. Since they are women, the most important thing is to behave badly...but I don't agree!"

"Sister Chau, she wears men's clothing all day long, but I have never seen Sister Chau showing any disrespect other than clothing. Where does the indiscretion come from?"

He Yuzhou was taken aback, Zhao Xiaoqing said: "Father once told me that Sister Zhou wears men's clothing because she has no money, and I also told my wife the same way, but Master didn't believe it when he heard such words, and criticized Sister Zhou for being rude and rude. You also said that your money was not clean, and you slandered Sister Zhou as a woman who attracts others, so I was in a hurry, so I quarreled with my master..."

He Yuzhou was stunned. He didn't expect such a thing to happen today. He warmed up and said, "Thank you for protecting me so much."

Zhao Xiaoqing gritted her teeth: "But I haven't been able to tell Master, to clarify for Sister Zhou..."

He Yuzhou laughed when he heard the words, and seeing Zhao Xiaoqing's aggrieved look, he patted his head and said, "How about I teach you how to defeat your master?"

"?!" Zhao Xiaoqing looked up at He Yuzhou in surprise.

He Yuzhou smiled and said, "Actually, it only takes one sentence to stop your wife's mouth."

Zhao Xiaoqing looked at He Yuzhou suspiciously.

He Yuzhou said: "Isn't there a saying that goes like this? A gentleman doesn't avoid the beauty of others, and he doesn't talk about the evil of others. Just ask your master, is it the actions of a gentleman to speak of the evil of others?"

"In addition, Xiaoqing, you can tell your master that those who respect others will always respect them, and those who love others will always love them."

"Sister Zhou..." Zhao Xiaoqing's eyes lit up.

He Yuzhou patted his head, stood up and said, "Okay, you can read, I'll collect the white fungus outside."

After an afternoon of exposure to the sun, the white fungus was almost dry, so He Yuzhou didn't bake it with a slow fire, and kept one or two, and packed the rest.

On the second day, He Yuzhou got up early, cooked a bowl of white fungus soup for Zhao Xiaoqing, and then went outside to the grass to collect the beautiful asters that bloomed in the morning.

He wanted to dry some aster flower tea and dry white fungus for Uncle An to send to Lu Zhuoxi. The man's body was so poor that he insisted on going to guard the tomb. He Yuzhou was really worried that he would never return. If it was because of guarding him He Suxian's tomb caused him to...

Well, he thought he would never be at ease for the rest of his life.

Thinking in this way, his hands moved a little faster, Zhao Xiaoqing was very obedient, seeing that He Yuzhou was busy, he yelled and went to the private school alone, without He Yuzhou worrying about it at all.

The production of scented tea not only requires the flowers to be dehydrated so that they can be preserved, but more importantly, the taste of the tea can be soaked into the flowers. Here, He Yuzhou used the tea leaves he made before to soak the flowers in water, and waited for it to be fully absorbed. After a morning, strain the tea and let it dry in the sun.

Considering that he didn't have anything to pack, He Yuzhou took out the original ten-square silk scarf, embroidered a few small purses, and put the dried flowers in it.

A wooden box of white fungus and three small pouches of dried aster flower tea are ready, and they will be delivered to the town the next day for Uncle An to help deliver to Lu Zhuoxi.

It was a little late to embroider the purse, and when I looked up, it was almost dark, and Zhao Xiaoqing hadn't come back yet.

When He Yuzhou came to his senses, he was a little flustered. He quickly put down his purse and rushed to Zhao's house.

This child Zhao Xiaoqing is well-behaved and sensible, and he almost never returns home late. Today...it is unusually late, but he only discovered it at this time.

When they arrived at Zhao's family, their house was full of people, noisy as if something had happened, and occasionally there was the sound of children weeping.

He Yuzhou was taken aback, and hurried forward, he heard correctly, the child's cry seemed to be Zhao Xiaoqing.

He Yuzhou pushed away the crowd, Zhao Yi's family came out and stood in the yard, Zhao Xiaoqing stood aside with tears on his face, his head bowed, and was taught a lesson by an old man who looked like a scholar holding up a ruler.

Zhao Yi and Aunt Zhao frowned next to them, trying to obstruct but resisting.

He Yuzhou was completely stunned seeing this, could that old man be Zhao Xiaoqing's wife?

"Okay, Zhao Xiaoqing, you have learned knowledge from me for two years, and you think it's great, don't you dare to talk back to your wife! Back it up! Back it up in front of your parents! Aren't you very good at talking just now? Why now? Stop talking!"

"Zhao Xiucai, the children from Xiucai's family are really different! At such a young age, they don't know how to respect their teachers, and they only know some deviant things! Heh..."

With a sneer, the old scholar said, "I can't teach such a thing!"

As he said that, he was about to greet Zhao Xiaoqing with the ruler in his hand. He Yuzhou was startled, and hurriedly stepped out to block Zhao Xiaoqing's face, and caught the short and wide ruler.

"Zhao Xiucai, the children from Xiucai's family are really different! At such a young age, they don't know how to respect their teachers, and they only know some deviant things! Heh..."

With a sneer, the old scholar said, "I can't teach such a thing!"

As he said that, he was about to greet Zhao Xiaoqing with the ruler in his hand. He Yuzhou was startled, and hurriedly stepped out to block Zhao Xiaoqing's face, and caught the short and wide ruler.

"Hehe, who are you? I really can't teach this kid a lesson today?" The old scholar looked extremely angry.

He Yuzhou frowned: "My master shook his lips behind his back, but he couldn't say anything to me, the client?"

The old scholar was taken aback, stared at He Yuzhou a few times and said, "Are you that indiscreet Miss He who made Zhao Xiaoqing talk back to me?"

He Yuzhou frowned: "My master is self-respecting, why am I so disrespectful?"

"As a woman, as a man, dress up as a man, play tricks, attract bees and butterflies, hook up with married men..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Yi, and continued, "Hooking up with a child from an aristocratic family again, with a flirtatious appearance, it's immoral!"

"Heh..." He Yuzhou sneered: "Is there any evidence for what Master said?"

"With no proof, how dare Master make such an arbitrariness judgment!"

"This is obvious to all!" The old scholar sneered.

He Yuzhou pursed his lips and asked, "What did everyone witness?"

As he spoke, he looked around and said with a sneer, "Come out and tell me what you see."

"You...shameless!" The old scholar pointed at He Yuzhou with trembling fingers.

He Yuzhou smiled: "I'm just asking everyone to talk about my misbehavior. If I ask for evidence, it's just shameless. Then according to what the master said, can I not ask for clarification if I am accused?"

The old scholar was very angry: "Nonsense, fallacies!"

"Ha!" He Yuzhou laughed angrily: "Master's words are correct, but mine are fallacies?"

As He Yuzhou said, he pulled Zhao Xiaoqing over and said, "Xiaoqing just refuted Master One or two, and now he has a reputation of being deviant. I just ask for clarification, so I am shameless, and what I said has become fallacies and fallacies? Does Master say that what you teach and what you say is completely correct, and what others say that contradicts you is completely wrong?"

"A sage dare not be so sure about his own words, how can the master have the courage?"

"Since ancient times, some disciples have made inferences about the master's words. Why don't those ancestors accuse their disciples of being deviant, but they become deviant when they come to the master?"

"Isn't this Master, you are disrespectful to the old! You are not strict as a teacher! Are you disrespectful!"

Glaring at the old scholar, He Yuzhou didn't smile at all.

The old scholar was so frustrated that he could only point at He Yuzhou with shaking fingers.

"Well, He Yuzhou! As a girl, it's so...so..."

As he said that, he shook his sleeves heavily, turned around and looked at Zhao Yidao: "Zhao Xiucai, your ancestors can't afford to teach you!"

With that said, he rushed out of the crowd angrily.

Aunt Zhao chased two steps forward, wanting to persuade him to stay, Zhao Yi frowned and said: "Let him go, it doesn't matter if you don't want such a master, I will personally teach Xiaoqing from now on."

"Husband..." Aunt Zhao looked worried.

He Yuzhou knelt down to look at Zhao Xiaoqing, seeing that he was crying all over his face and not injured, he was slightly relieved: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have taught you that..."

"It's not Sister Zhou's fault!" Zhao Xiaoqing gritted his teeth and said, "It's the master who can't accept my words!"

"..." He Yuzhou remained silent, stood up, and apologized to Aunt Zhao, "I'm sorry."

Aunt Zhao didn't speak, Zhao said, "I have to thank Xiaozhou for this matter, let us see this master clearly, such a person is not suitable to teach my son!"

"Uncle One..." He Yuzhou called softly.

Zhao Yidao: "Xiaozhou, don't worry, Xiaoqing has been learning calligraphy and reading with me since childhood, as expected, I have been teaching myself to be more at ease."

He Yuzhou closed his eyes, Zhao Xiaoqing ran to Zhao Yi's side and pulled his sleeve, saying, "Daddy is a better teacher than him."

He Yuzhou's heart softened.

Zhao Yidao: "It's okay, Xiaozhou, Xiaoqing will be staying at home tonight, you should go back quickly, it's getting dark, you're not safe at night."

He Yuzhou looked up at the sky, then at the family of three in front of him, knowing that they had something to say, he bowed and said goodbye.

After returning home and eating casually, He Yuzhou lay on the bed and sighed.

This incident happened because of him, and I will always feel sorry if I don't do something.

What Zhao Xiaoqing lacks is a master. Although he has learned knowledge, his knowledge is not suitable for teaching the people here, and he cannot find a master.

Instead, I can find something to make up for Zhao Xiaoqing, he was frightened today.

The white fungus I saw yesterday was a good choice, it is the most warming and tonic, and it is the most suitable for Zhao Xiaoqing to eat.

I just don't know if they are ripe after one night?Let's go see it tomorrow.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhou felt relieved, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

On the second day, still carrying the bamboo basket and holding the small hoe, he went to the mountain. Where he found the white fungus, some of them grew well and some were too bad.

He Yuzhou picked a few plants selectively in this field, and then went inside to see if there were any in the distance.

Unfortunately, after walking about fifty steps inside, the light became darker, but there were no white fungus among the rotten wood on the ground.

However, He Yuzhou saw the wild jasmine he had been looking for.

He Yuzhou's eyes lit up, and he walked towards Jasmine.

After digging the first plant, more jasmines appeared in the distance. Considering that there would be a lot of jasmine planted in his place, He Yuzhou still went inside.

The jungle is deep and overgrown with weeds. He Yuzhou picked up a stick and pushed aside the thorns and vines in front of him to drive away the pests and poisonous snakes hidden in the bushes.

Go slowly.

Being so cautious, He Yuzhou was still climbing up a high slope, and when he was about to hook Jasmine, his foot accidentally stepped on the ground, his body tilted, and he fell down with an exclamation.

After rolling a few times in the field, his body fell uncontrollably. He Yuzhou reached out and grabbed at random, trying to grab branches or vines to stop the fall, but failed several times.

Oh no.

He Yuzhou sighed in his heart, and suddenly bumped into a warm body, and then he heard a muffled groan, and he stopped.

He Yuzhou lay on his back and looked at the short shrubs above him, let out a long breath, he was saved...

Covering his forehead with his arms, He Yuzhou calmed down his beating heart and relaxed his body.

He thought, it would be too dangerous to ask Uncle Yi or someone else to take him up the mountain in the future.

"...Brother, if you don't get up again, I will die."
