Yangcheng

It was another early morning, and the sound of Lang Lang's reading came from the courtyard of Tongfu.

Tong Shaoqian has completely got rid of the curse of being forced to read by Aye. He does not need to participate in the reading process. He just chews willow branches and cleans his mouth. .

"What kind of poison?" Tong Shaoxuan, who was about to go to the academy, passed by, and heard Tong Shaoqian's sarcastic remarks here, and refuted her, "Nowadays, the world is dominated by scholars. It is better to have books than to be illiterate. Aye taught How did it become poisonous?"

"During the holiday, when Aye calls you to get up and study, don't cry."

"It's a holiday, can it be the same? I have read enough in the academy on weekdays, and a holiday is a holiday, so I should rest. Why do I continue to study and blow my mind? I won't tell you, I'm going to be late for the academy. "

Tong Shaoxuan was about to go out, Tang Jianwei called her to stop, and stepped forward to put a small bundle into Tong Shaoxuan's accompanying little sheep.

"What's in here?"

"Cherry sauce." Tang Jian said slightly, "You bought so many cherries before, our whole family would eat up and down their teeth and haven't finished eating them. They are about to rot. It would be a pity to let such a precious thing rot. .I made the remaining cherries into a sauce, which is sweet and sour and has a fruity aroma. It tastes good when it is spread on the cake, and it can be stored for a longer period of time. But even if it can be stored for a long time, we will If you can't finish eating, you should bring some to the academy to share with your friends, those little sisters of yours are very generous and worthy of deep friendship."

Tang Jianwei spoke seriously, but saw Tong Shaoxuan's eyes with some disdain.

"What's your expression?"

"I'm a good friend or a classmate, not a little sister." Tong Shaoxuan corrected her.

Tang Jianwei didn't realize it for a while: "Aren't the sisters more daring? I think they can stand up in times of crisis. It shouldn't be the relationship of ordinary classmates."

Tong Shaoxuan said: "I only have classmates, not so many sisters."

Tang Jianwei finally recognized it, and stroked the little sheep's bare, round wooden head: "Are you still angry with me? You've been calling 'A Shen' for several days, so shouldn't it be time to turn over the previous words? "

You still said that you will not consummate the marriage with me for the rest of your life?I didn't make trouble with you when I took the initiative to interlock my fingers, didn't I just obediently hold you?Tang Jianwei thought to himself, why are you so recalcitrant when you mention the word "sister"?

Tong Shaoxuan said: "I have a good memory. I can still remember the books I read when I was three years old, not to mention my wife's kind words."

Tang Jianwei: "..."

Tang Jianwei likes to bully Tong Shaoxuan to see her shy appearance, but Tong Shaoxuan can't stop admiring Tang Jianwei's speechless expression.

Originally, there was still a stomach full of serious words or fallacies that could be spit out for an incense stick of time without stopping, but seeing Tang Jianwei's grievances between his brows, Tong Shaoxuan wanted to make her tighten her mind immediately.

How could he be so complacent that he forgot that not long ago Tang Jianwei was still sad about her sister's affairs, seeing her chatting and laughing these two days, he thought it was all right, thinking that he could make trouble with her again.

Tong Shaoxuan was about to apologize, but Tang Jian sighed slightly and said:

"Yes, Madam is right. I shouldn't have mentioned those things that made Madam uncomfortable. I made Madam unhappy. I'm sorry, Anian." Tang Jianwei came forward to hold her hand, and said delicately,

"Can you forgive me? Give me a chance to make it up to you?"

"??"

As for the seriousness, is it so pitiful and blood spurting? !

Tong Shaoxuan didn't dare to look at her beautiful face exuding a seductive look, for fear that if he took another look, he would want to bite her hard on the neck.

Tong Shaoxuan turned his blushing face aside and said, "Tang Jianwei, you are really annoying! I'm ignoring you, you're going to be late for class!"

After speaking, he and the little sheep left in a hurry.

Tang Jianwei stood at the same spot and looked at Tong Shaoxuan's fleeing back with gusto, giggling: "Isn't it easy to treat you?"

Tang Jianwei thought that Tong Shaoxuan's escape was still caused by her shyness, but he didn't realize that Tong Shaoxuan's heart had undergone a fundamental change.

……

The sound of reading in the yard was still going on. Tang Jianwei took a few cans of cherry sauce in glass jars and planned to give them to Song Qiao. When he passed by the front yard, he found that his sister was also here.

Tang Jianwei stopped and stood not far away to watch intently.

Tang Guanqiu sat in the middle, practicing calligraphy and reading seriously.

When reading directly from the words on the scroll, it was completely different from the usual stuttering when she was asked to organize her thoughts and express her emotions. Tang Guanqiu seemed very proficient in rereading these classic poems that she had memorized a long time ago.

Children like Qiuxin don't know some words, and they will ask Tang Guanqiu for advice.

Although Tang Guanqiu can't express it particularly precisely, he can express the meaning of the words clearly with one or two simple words, allowing children to understand immediately.

"Is she sick?"

"She's smarter than us when she's sick..."

Several little maidservants and servants were discussing in secret, being hit hard, hating themselves for being too stupid, and making up their minds to work harder at learning calligraphy.

Ji Xue sat at the very edge, three or four people away from Tang Guanqiu.After writing the words in her hand, she got up and poured tea for everyone.When putting the tea in front of Tang Guanqiu, give her an extra sugar.

After putting down the sugar, Ji Xue left her side.

Tang Jian lowered his eyes slightly.

Ji Xue is indeed keeping the promise she made before.

Tong Shaoxuan brought the cherry sauce to the academy, distributed it to Ge Xunqing and the others, and then distributed it to Cen Wuniang and the others, and the distribution was just right.

Tong Shaoxuan didn't come home during lunch, so he ate some cakes with Ge Xunqing and the others in the academy.

Ge Xunqing had been wanting to taste the cherry sauce made by Tang Jianwei all morning. Finally, she was able to taste it at noon. Immediately, she took out the cake she brought, opened the lid of the glass bottle, and scooped it out with a spoon. Spread it on the cake and take a bite.

Tong Shaoxuan disliked her taking such a big bite, as if she had never eaten: "Is it delicious?"

"Hey, eat, eat!" Ge Xunqing's mouth was full, and she couldn't help praising for the first time, "The cherry taste is so strong! Sour and sweet! It's so delicious with cold cakes!"

Bai Erniang was not willing to eat it at all, and held the glass jar to savor it for a long time: "It's so beautiful, isn't it? The amber jar is paired with dark red jam, even if you don't eat it, you can still taste it as a work of art."

Shi Ruzhuo wiped a little bit on the cake, and said in shock: "It has a unique taste, as if eating a cherry while eating a cake."

Ge Xunqing: "You ate both cherries and cakes."

Shi Ruzhuo: "Well..."

Cen Wuniang and the others also tasted the cherry sauce, and a voice of admiration and admiration came from the other end of the school:

"Changsi, you really should go to teach a metaphysics class."

"What metaphysics?"

"Teach everyone how to be a virtuous wife from heaven, and enjoy endless joy."

"..."

Cen Wuniang and the others began to discuss among themselves: "Sister Tang is really beautiful and fierce. This kind of fairy can actually cook good food. If I accumulate more virtue in this life, can I marry another one in my next life?"

"I'm not greedy, as long as I can marry Sister Tang in my next life."

"Changsi, can you and Sister Tang adopt me? I recognize her as a godmother, can I go to your house for dinner every day?"

Tong Shaoxuan: "...do you have any backbone?"

The fact that Tang Jianwei swept Lv Lanxin out of Su County made her already very tall image even more majestic in the hearts of classmates like Tong Shaoxuan.

All day long, I heard people praising Tang Jianwei for being so powerful and mighty, but only Tong Shaoxuan knew that Tang Jianwei would also get hurt and feel uncomfortable, heartbroken and cry.

In the past few days, Tang Jianwei's crying appearance has been pressing on Tong Shaoxuan's heart, and every time he thinks of it, he feels a dull pain in his heart.

Others only see Tang Jianwei's strong side, but what she sees is a more comprehensive and real Tang Jianwei.

Taking the portrait out of the case and looking at it carefully, this so-called Tang Jianwei's portrait that once made her linger in her dreams countless times, but looking at it now, it doesn't look like her at all.

The person in the portrait is indeed beautiful, but there is no Tang Jianwei's soul, no bones, no charming charm when she frowns and smiles, and no thrilling feeling that makes people's hearts break along with her when she cries.

Tong Shaoxuan looked at it, his eyes were a little blurred...

"Huh? Do you still have this painting?" Ge Xunqing poked her head out from behind her and said while eating the cake, "I thought my sister-in-law took it back."

"What do you mean? Tang Jianwei? Take it back?" Tong Shaoxuan was shocked, "She has seen this painting?!"

"...So you don't know about this?" Ge Xunqing knew that she was talking too much, and she was about to slip away while biting the cake, but was dragged back by Tong Shaoxuan:

"You tell me what's going on!?"

"Are you so mean to me? It's not my fault! Didn't you not be able to come to the academy last time when you suffered [-] big buttocks? My sister-in-law came to attend the class for you, so she naturally sat in your seat. You I didn’t collect the evidence of my nympho, and came to yell at me. Wuwuwu, it’s a shame that I gave you a cover, Tong Changsi, you are a white-eyed wolf!"

"You cover for me?"

"Hit it! If you don't believe me, ask Ah Bai and the others! It's just that it didn't work."

"..."

It's over, now Tang Jianwei knows that I have collected her portrait a long time ago?

With her cunning mind, after a little deduction, you can immediately think that I secretly liked her early in the morning, right? !

Tong Shaoxuan almost suffocated.

The oolong of "Sister Fairy" is already terrible, and now let her know that I coveted her before I met her, is there any way to live this day?

Tong Shaoxuan wished he could tear up the painting to get discouraged. After thinking about it, he couldn't bear it.

So, during this period of time, what kind of mood did Tang Jianwei look at the relationship between me and her?

Tong Shaoxuan felt uncomfortable all over.

Does Tang Jianwei take it as a joke when I say "I'll never consummate the house"?

No wonder she has always been so comfortable when facing me.

In fact, she has already completely grasped me, right?

It can't be said that he was disappointed, but Tong Shaoxuan was depressed because of the feeling of being exposed. He couldn't cheer up all afternoon. After finally staying up until the end of class, he went out with Ge Xunqing and the others. When he reached the gate of the academy, he found that The elder sister and the elder sister-in-law are standing here.

"Why are you here?" Tong Shaoxuan stepped forward and asked them.

Tong Shaolin said: "I'm here to find that injured little lady."

"Huh?" Tong Shaoxuan quickly understood, "Are you looking for Gongyu?"

Tong Shaolin had already seen Shi Ruzhuo, and beckoned her to come over.

Shi Ruzhuo was a little hesitant, he didn't expect Changsi's eldest sister to come to her specially, and even more embarrassed, he walked slowly to Tong Shaolin to greet her.

Tong Shaolin smiled gently and said, "Didn't you come to me after seven days after the appointment, why didn't you see me? Don't you want your little finger?"

"No, no, because I feel much better, I don't want to bother my sister, so..."

"Let me see."

Tong Shaolin lifted her left hand up, it was obviously still swollen badly, and when he touched it lightly, she trembled in pain.

"If you're hurt, you're hurt. Why be brave? You have to change your unlucky temper."

Shi Ruzhuo knew that she was doing it for his own benefit, so he didn't say much.

Tong Shaolin said: "Come, come with me, today I will drag you to my house no matter what, and bandage you well, you can't escape."

How could Shi Ruzhuo be so ignorant, he thanked him sincerely, and followed.

Bai Erniang and Ge Xunqing stood not far away and witnessed the whole process of Shi Ruzhuo being taken away by the elder sister.

Ge Xunqing sighed: "Changsi's eldest sister is really full of mature charm. She is similar to her sister-in-law but has her own advantages. Tsk tsk, why isn't my surname Tong?"

Bai Erniang elbowed Ge Xunqing: "Gongyu was taken away by the beautiful big sister, are you still calm?"

Ge Xunqing suddenly realized: "That's right! I have to follow!"

Ge Xunqing's words were really beyond Bai Erniang's expectation—could it be that Yang Guang has enlightened?

"They must have something delicious! I want to eat too! Let's go! Ah Bai, let's follow!"

Erniang Bai: "..."

I can't wait to grab Ge Yangguang's leg and shake her upside down three times. I don't know if I can shake out a pot of water, but I can definitely shake out a pot of rice.

Tong Shaolin and Lu Fan took Shi Ruzhuo back to Tong's Mansion and went into the bedroom, where they helped her wound with medicine and re-bandaged it.

Tong Shaolin asked her how she was doing recently and how she was feeling, Shi Ruzhuo faltered and said:

"Actually, that's it."

"Do you still remember some unhappy things?"

Tong Shaolin's question made Shi Ruzhuo instinctively think of some scenes that he could not forget all the time, and the feeling of nausea surged up again.

Seeing that Shi Ruzhuo's complexion was not very good, Tong Shaolin looked at Lu Fan, who nodded and went out first, leaving the bedroom to the two of them.

"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it." Tong Shaolin said, "I just hope you can take care of your emotions and do things that make you happy."

"What is... the happy thing?" Shi Ruzhuo looked at her re-bandaged little finger. Although it was slowly healing, the pain still pierced her heart from time to time, which made her understand that some traumas could not be reversed.

She resented any close contact, and even the proximity of Rangoon made her sick with nausea.

That kind of dirty desire rolled over her heart, making her heart ache and twisted, and it would be relieved occasionally, but once she remembered that person, she was immediately dragged into the abyss again.

"Is there anything you like to do, or someone you like?" Tong Shaolin said, "Obviously there are more things that make people happy than pain, but we are often controlled by worries."

Tong Shaolin's words made Shi Ruzhuo's heart ache: "I have things I like and people I like, but I don't think I'm qualified to continue liking..."

"Is it because of the harm caused to you by others, making you feel that you have lost the qualification to continue liking? It's obviously someone else's fault, why use it to punish yourself?"

"I understand... Sister, I understand." Shi Ruzhuo said, "I don't care about some things, and everything I cherish has not been taken away by others. I don't care about myself, some physical pain That's all. But I'm still very disappointed in myself. I should have a better countermeasure. I should have discussed it with Changsi and the others at the very beginning. Changsi and the others are smarter than me and have more ideas, but I chose one The path of self-defeating eight hundred but not being able to injure the enemy still hurt my friends in the end. I was stupid and cowardly. I made a wrong decision and completely dragged Chang Si and Sister Tang into a crisis. I don’t know her...she still Will I come back, and what should I do if I meet her again? Even if I say I don’t care, it is true that I have fallen into a demon that I cannot get rid of..."

These words have been suppressed in her heart all the time, and now that she finally said it, Shi Ruzhuo's eyes turned red: "I don't think I'm as strong as I think."

After letting Shi Ruzhuo vent his emotions, Tong Shaolin listened to her quietly without interrupting. After she finished speaking and her breath became more and more stable, Tong Shaolin said:

"Who said that everyone in this world must be strong? What's wrong with cowardice? You must have strengths, but you must also have weaknesses. Friends need family and lovers, and they need to learn from each other's strengths and protect each other. Most importantly, who wants to face danger by themselves? Everyone wants to be protected, right? You chose to be the one who protects others. In fact, you are very brave. I hope that such a brave sister Ru Zhuo can be protected by everyone."

……

After coming out of Tong Shaolin's bedroom, Shi Ruzhuo closed the door and stood quietly at the door for a while, something seemed to have been figured out.

When she turned around and wanted to leave, she found Ge Xunqing appeared behind her at some point, which shocked her greatly.

"Yangon? Why are you here?"

"I'm waiting for you to eat together. My sister-in-law is back, and she is cooking in the kitchen right now, and the meal will be ready soon."

Shi Ruzhuo smiled and said: "I just went to let Sister Tong change her medicine, what's there to wait for?"

"Tsk, why don't you know good people? Am I afraid that you won't be able to grab the delicious food?" Ge Xunqing noticed that she seemed to be crying, pretended not to notice, grabbed her right hand, and led her to the front hall. direction to go,

"Hurry up! If you don't go, Ah Bai will finish eating the cold dish just served!"

The sudden feeling of his hand being held made Shi Ruzhuo's heart feel uncomfortable, but, strange to say, Shi Ruzhuo didn't break free, just being held by Ge Xunqing, the feeling of nausea gradually subsided down.

Ge Xunqing didn't have any evil thoughts, and all her actions were out of pure friendship.

She really just regarded Shi Ruzhuo as a friend.

Because of this, Shi Ruzhuo was able to gradually accept her purposeless approach.

Is it luck or misfortune?

Shi Ruzhuo, who was 16 at the time, still couldn't see clearly.

After Tang Jianwei came back from the shop, he saw Ge Xunqing and the others coming, so he went to the kitchen to help Aunt He, and made some quick dishes. During dinner, in the front hall of Tongfu, apart from the Tong family, the three people, Tong Shaoxuan, The classmates also came to the table.

The Tong family is very familiar with Ge Xunqing and Bai Erniang, but it's Shi Ruzhuo's first time here. The Tong family is very enthusiastic about her, and the dishes for her are almost piled up into a hill.

Tang Jianwei sat down next to Tong Shaoxuan, and said with a smile, "Look at Ge Yangguang, she ate so much that her face was buried in the rice bowl, she..."

Before he finished speaking, he found that Tong Shaoxuan stood up suddenly and took the bones to feed Ah Huang. He didn't come back immediately after feeding, and ran to chat with Qiu Xin who was working in the yard.

Tang Jianwei: "?"

What does it mean?Is it because the wave in the morning hasn't passed yet, or have I finally disliked the smell of oily smoke on my body?

Tang Jianwei looked in Tong Shaoxuan's direction in bewilderment, and after Tong Shaoxuan accidentally looked at her, he ran away.

Tang Jianwei: "??"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tong Shaoxuan: Don't follow me, if you follow me, you will regret it in the next chapter.

Tang Jianwei: I just followed, let me see how you teach me to regret.

So the next chapter...
