My country, you can pinch it

The Shang family sisters came back within a few days, and Shang Xiyun walked into the courtyard dressed in travel and dust, and while changing clothes, said to Gao Xueli: "I heard that after Ling Ling followed you to the school, Yang Yang always detoured when he saw him."

Gao Xueli said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the most important thing is to work hard in reading and writing, and you must always review it. If there is no one to supervise, it is easy to slack off. Lingling is the one who finishes teaching this class, and writes silently after class. If he can't write, he will stay in class and force These monkeys remember it in their minds and are familiar with it in their hands, and it is really miserable for them."

Shang Xiyun paused when he undressed, and said in surprise, "Lingling is so strict?"

"If you are not strict, you will not be punished if you do not beat. It is a soft knife that cuts flesh and grinds people."

Shang Xiyun smiled, "Don't these monkeys make trouble? These boys are not afraid of anything, sometimes even my grandfather can't do anything about them."

Gao Xueli said: "Why didn't you make a fuss? A few of them just didn't listen. Headed by Zhou Xiaohu, they just left with their schoolbags on their backs. Guess what?"

"What's the matter?"

"Ling Ling came to the door that day and directly stayed at Zhou Xiaohu's home. He coughed while drinking medicine, and brought him along with the doctor, in order to persuade Zhou Xiaohu to study hard."

Shang Xiyun frowned: "Is he not in good health?"

Gao Xueli said: "His body has always been like this, it's just that...he looked worse in those two days." It seems that the three words are very particular.

Shang Xiyun immediately understood, "Zhou Xiaohu is General Zhou's youngest son, right? That family is very hot-tempered. If Ling Ling came to the door in person, that boy won't be spanked by his father until his ass blooms?"

"Ling Ling refused to let the beating, saying that it was his master's responsibility for the student not to study, and if he wanted to be beaten, he should be beaten first. Then he stayed there for two days in such a weak state, and just read books on his own without talking too much, but Zhou Xiaohu Just be honest."

People who learn martial arts are generally stubborn, the more they fight, the more unconvinced they are, the more they want to confront them, but their hearts are generally soft and chivalrous.

Doesn't Zhou Xiaohu know the usefulness of reading?No, it's just that I can't calm down and learn.

But when Shang Jinling dragged a sick body, even though he was weak and couldn't leave his mouth every day, he didn't give up on him, persuaded him to go to school in a soft voice, and even took all the responsibility on himself, this guilty heart easily Coughing again and again was picked up.

Every time the sisters of the Shang family heard Shang Jinling's muffled cough, they would be a little more careful when they spoke, let alone this child?

In just two days, I surrendered. Honestly, I should learn to read and write, and read and write when I needed to read and write.

"You scholars have a lot of minds." Shang Xiyun changed into regular clothes and sat down in front of the vanity mirror. Gao Xueli stood behind her, skillfully detached her hair, picked up the comb on the side, and gently combed her long hair and said , "Sometimes I think about the past 15 years, Ling Ling has been raised in the Fang family, never went to school, never met outsiders?"

"Do you think he understands everything?" Shang Xiyun asked.

Gao Xueli nodded, and slowly put on a simple bun for Shang Xiyun, "I boast that I have studied the New Deal with my father for half my life, and I don't think anyone should know better than me, but at a young age, he can Looking through the paper at a glance, I found that I... even my father ignored the fatal problem. What's more annoying is that he still has a countermeasure. accomplish!"

Shang Xiyun was very surprised. From the capital all the way to the northwest, she was deeply aware of Shang Jinling's cleverness, but she never expected Gao Xueli to make such an evaluation.

The New Deal, from the emperor to the academic scholars in Dashun, paid close attention to it. Many Confucian scholars were discussing the possibility of its success and failure.

"Are you expecting too much from him?"

Gao Xueli heard the words and said: "Ma'am, do you think I seem to be exaggerating?" He said in amazement, "I dare say that your younger brother's talent is one in a million, but it's a pity that my father is gone, otherwise I will see you. With Ling's talent, he must be ecstatic, and he brought him by his side to teach him personally and teach him everything. Therefore, Fang Wencheng actually favored ordinary bastards instead of such a concubine, which is really hard for me to understand. "

Shang Xiyun said: "Lingling seemed to be enlightened all of a sudden. My aunt told us that she had never discovered that Lingling had this talent before. That time she was so out of breath that she woke up after being in a coma for two days. The same, as if it is transparent to everything.”

"So that's the case, that seems to be God's will." Gao Xueli put down his comb, and said in a warm voice, "It's done."

Shang Xiyun looked in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. She walked to the table, poured two cups of tea, and asked, "Since you say so, Lingling's knowledge must be pretty good, can he be admitted as a scholar?" ?He is not in good health and tired from studying, so don't push him too hard. In fact, with our sisters around, it doesn't matter whether he can get a good grade in the exam."

Gao Xueli laughed and said: "Then you underestimated him, but now I am afraid that my lack of knowledge will delay him."

Shang Xiyun was very surprised when he heard the words, "You were a recruiter before, isn't that enough to teach him?"

Gao Xueli shook his head, "It's been said that he is an incomparable talent, how can a mere recruiter satisfy him? Xiyun, he will be great in the future, and given time, he will surely soar into the sky. It's a pity that in the Northwest, there is really no one who can teach him."

Speaking of this, Gao Xueli was very worried.

Shang Xiyun always thought that Gao Xueli's knowledge was very remarkable. If he hadn't been exiled halfway, he would have been a Jinshi in high school.He is really a scholar, he is full of books from head to toe, he treats people with gentleness and courtesy, even if he encounters a catastrophe and a noble person falls into the quagmire, he has never complained about others and gave up on himself, which is why he is deeply attracted to Shang Xiyun .

"What are you going to do?"

Gao Xueli said: "It would be a pity if such a good seedling was buried because of this. I have already written to contact my father's former friends. I don't know if anyone is willing to teach him. It's just that the journey is far away and I won't get any results for a while. Here Before, let Ling Ling pass the scholar examination first, and take one step at a time."

"If you want to be a scholar, is the nearest place in Lanzhou?"

Gao Xueli nodded: "That's right, but it's not too urgent. Before that, Ling Ling had to pass the county and government exams to qualify as a child student. The nearest place is Yongliang, and she has to take the exams in May and August this year. .”

"Yongliang..." Shang Xiyun frowned when he remembered the reluctant farewell person when he left.

Seeing this, Gao Xueli said, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, if the exam is only a few days, it shouldn't be a problem to stay there for a while." Shang Xiyun said.

Gao Xueli was a little confused, "You don't seem to be willing to let him go, why, maybe Lingling will stay there for a long time in the future."

"What?" Shang Xiyun asked in surprise, "Why?"

Gao Xueli told her that the pilot state capital of the New Deal planned by him and Shang Jinling was in Yongliang, and in the end, "If His Royal Highness King Ning can support it, it would be a great thing. The only obsession is to see the success of the New Deal, and Ling Ling gave me a chance."

Shang Xiyun: "But... aunt will be irritable."

Gao Xueli was puzzled, "How to say?"

Shang Xiyun thought for a while and didn't answer directly, but asked in a low voice: "Zhiyi, you are with Lingling every day, do you feel that there is something wrong with him?"

Gao Xueli was puzzled, "It's not right, what are you referring to?"

"Would it be possible for a person to suddenly giggle and suddenly worry, like you and I did before?"

Before the two of them, wasn't that... Gao Xueli was shocked, and said in disbelief, "You can't talk nonsense, Lingling is only fifteen, so could it be possible that she has a crush on her?"

"Is there any?"

"No." Gao Xueli said suddenly speechless, "Why do you think so? Are you suspicious? She is in Yongliang?"

Shang Xiyun held the tea and stopped talking.

Gao Xueli looked at her, and said thoughtfully: "Lingling came to my study before and found a book with a serious title called "Nian Nujiao", which was placed on the second row of bookshelves. I remember that you bought those books. Come back, I haven't had time to look at it yet."

Shang Xiyun looked at him, "What's wrong?"

"Have you seen it?"

"Of course not. I'm not interested in reading, but who made you a bookworm? If I go out and read a book, I have to bring it back to you. Otherwise, how can those bookshelves be filled?"

Gao Xueli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Then you should flip through it a little bit anyway, that book is really cute, but it's not poetry and tunes, but... a book of obscene words."

"what?"

"And I was seen by Ling Ling. I was really ashamed." Gao Xueli still blush when he thinks about it now. He who has always been upright is not as thick-skinned as Liu Ke.

Shang Xiyun laughed immediately after listening, "Then just tell Ling Ling that I bought it."

Gao Xueli glanced at him, "How can it be done, what will people think of you if you tell it?"

"I don't care about these, and Lingling won't talk nonsense." Shang Xiyun said indifferently, "What about the book?"

"It was taken away by Lingling."

Shang Xiyun wondered, "What is he using it for, look?"

Gao Xueli finally came back, and said meaningfully: "It is said that it is a gift, that person has no hobbies, but likes to read this kind of books, do you know who it is?"

Shang Xiyun thought of Liu Ke in an instant, and felt a little bad all over.

When Gao Xueli saw her appearance, he immediately understood, and then asked: "Could it be true? My aunt and your sisters are so opposed, it seems that she is not a girl from a good family. That's right, ordinary girls don't know how to read this kind of book."

"It doesn't matter if it's good or not, the problem is..." Shang Xiyun hesitated, she thought for a while, and then leaned into Gao Xueli's ear and said a few words.

Gao Xueli's pupils shrunk, his face was shocked, he was almost speechless, he opened and closed his mouth a few times, writing all over his face, how could it be possible?

This deviant is even more surprising than Shang Jinling's 15-year-old self-confession and a sweetheart who loves to read banned books.

Shang Xiyun spread his hands and said: "That's it. If you were there at the time, you must have seen it, but fortunately King Ning didn't say it, and we didn't mention it. It was originally to let the two separate and gradually forget it, but after hearing what you said ..."

It was obvious that Shang Jinling was thinking about Liu Ke, he even knew about this hobby, and even ignored Gao Xueli's misunderstanding, so he begged for the book.

Gao Xueli came to a sudden: "No wonder Lingling asked me to help you persuade you, it seems that he already understood in his heart."

Shang Xiyun really wanted to call him a good guy, "This kid..."

Gao Xueli sighed: "Xiyun, I have to take back my original opinion. Not only is your brother quick-witted, but he also has bigger ideas than I imagined. If he is willing, I'm afraid it's up to aunt and you to object."

In the early morning of the second day, just after dawn, Shang Jinling got up.

Zijing helped him change his clothes, and asked strangely: "Master, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"The early bird gets the worm, and the early grandson gets to see his grandfather."

After washing, he walked into the study, took out Liu Ke's thick letter, glanced at "Nian Nujiao" beside him, couldn't help smiling, put on his cloak and walked out of the yard.

Although the Marquis of Xiling has reached the age of seventy, he keeps strengthening his body on weekdays, so his spirit is bright, without the decadence of decay and twilight.

When Shang Jinling walked into the main courtyard, he saw Marquis Xiling juggling with a gun, the silver light rustling, the front cold was threatening, and he was probably even more powerful when he was young.

As a boy, whoever sees this kind of marksmanship doesn't get excited, and imagines that if he is healthy, he will have to learn every move and a half.

Shang Jinling also saw the sisters of the Shang family practice their guns and spar, each move was fierce, but not as restrained and deep as the Marquis of Xiling, and the stabbing and slashing movements seemed not difficult to look at.

Suddenly, Xilinghou retracted his gun and waved to the side, "Lingling, come here, what's the point of gesticulating over there?"

Shang Jinling withdrew her fists and embroidered legs, and said awkwardly: "Grandfather, I'll just take a look at it casually, my grandson can't lift this gun."

When he was in the capital, he had tried that silver gun and almost poked his own toe. Since then, he had given up on martial arts, and any pretty girl would be more suitable than him.

"It's okay, if you don't practice guns, then you can fight with your grandfather. The Shang family's boxing skills are not bad, do you want to?"

The weather is already as warm as spring. Except for Shang Jinling who is covering her hands when she goes out, everyone in the Shang family has already gone to wear cloaks and cloaks. The Xiling Hou is sweating after practicing guns in the morning, and he is wearing unlined clothes. The raised muscles are reduced.

The treasured sword is not old enough to deal with a hundred Shang Jinlings.

Shang Jinling's eyes became hot all of a sudden, he nodded and agreed, "Yes."

The Marquis of Xiling laughed in satisfaction, "Put away the cumbersome clothes, come here."

Hearing this, Chang Kong stepped forward to untie the cloak for Shang Jinling. As soon as he took it off, Shang Jinling couldn't help shrinking her neck, feeling a little chilly.

Seeing this, the Marquis of Xiling couldn't help but said: "You scholars, what's the difference between you and those bastards with lice on their butts who can't sit still?"

The Marquis of Xiling handed the gun to the guards, and shook his head when he saw this, "Actually, it's not good. People get tired easily and often get sick. Usually your mother watches you closely, and just stares at you to drink medicine and tonic, and won't let you go out. I want to say, it’s better to move more, don’t need to be violent, just practice boxing a little bit, it’s much better than those Shi Laozi tonics.”

Shang Jinling walked up to the Marquis of Xiling, kicked his legs a little and said, "Mother is also for my own good."

"The old man is just talking in front of you, don't tell her." Xilinghou was afraid that this girl would be angry, so he patted Shang Jinling's shoulder and said, "Open your body, don't be afraid, let's do a simple warm-up with grandfather first." Warm up, it won't be cold soon."

"it is good."

"Ling'er, if you can't take it anymore and you're tired, just stop, don't hold on, let's play casually."

"it is good."

"Look, here we come!"
