dressed as a scholar

Since Qi Qiu arrived in Yuncheng, Qiao Hezhi went out more often, and the two often invited each other to visit shops in the city, such as restaurants and fruit shops, teahouses, piano workshops, cloth shops, jewelry and rouge shops...

At first, due to being a merchant, Qiao Hezhi couldn't go in many listed shops. Later, although he had a scholar's seal, Fang Yu had a lot of things to do, so it was not easy to pester him to go out with him, but Qi Qiu came After getting married, he no longer has to worry about being without a companion.

Although Qi Qiu can't speak, the children from generations of scholarly families are very different from ordinary children in terms of knowledge and insight. Qiao Hezhi and him get along very well. Even if they meet every now and then, they don't feel bored. The two went shopping Occasionally, I would go to talk to Ranmo.

After becoming pregnant, Ran Mo didn't go out many times. It is not easy to have a child after a few years of marriage. Naturally, the family cherishes it very much. I am afraid that the bumps outside will hurt the fetal gas. Therefore, Ran Mo feels bored at home and wants to It is rare for her to restrain her frizzy temper while watching the child, and stay honestly in the house to raise the baby.

Qiao Hezhi and Qi Qiu got married late, but now seeing that the older Ran Mo has a child, when he went to accompany him, he also asked for one or two lessons on parenting, and Qi Qiu was also very interested.

The days are fast, more than a month has passed, and the weather is getting colder and colder. After the winter solstice, the streets are covered with white mist, and even some snow particles will fall in the windy weather. This year's winter is colder than previous years. up some.

Yuncheng is considered to be a relatively warm county, with few bad weather. This year, it is so cold that the people are enjoying themselves in bitterness.

Qiao Hezhi's health is not very good, and he is most afraid of the cold. After seeing the weather getting so cold, he stopped keen to go outside.

Sheng Jia's new job is also busy with official duties. After winter, he has to patrol around to see if there is any damage to the land, whether the people in the countryside can survive the winter smoothly, and many other trivial matters. The population of the Sheng family is the simplest. After bringing it out, Qi Qiu has nothing to worry about, and his life is leisurely. If he doesn't find Qiao Hezhi to pass the time together, he really doesn't know what fun he will have in Yuncheng.

Knowing that Qiao Hezhi was in poor health and could not go out to catch the cold, he came to Fang's house as a guest.The two of them would either make cakes and snacks together, or they would add charcoal to the stove in Xiaotongyuan, and together they would make winter clothes with tight needlework and thick thickness for their husband-in-law.

As the days passed, Qi Qiu learned how to make some pastries and some simple dishes from Qiao Hezhi. After acquiring new skills, he was busy cooking in the mansion for Shengzhi County. Companion, mother Qi came from Fucheng to visit the child later, so she was stuck at home and couldn't get out.

Qiao Hezhi didn't want to disturb people's reunion, so he stayed at home by himself. He was very fast at sewing. He had already made several winter clothes for Fang Yu these days. Although he made more, he could wear them next year, but he didn't know for sure. What kind of new materials and styles are in fashion, and the old ones will not be pleasing by then, so he can only put down his sewing work.

Recently, the shop at home has been managed very well. When he has nothing to do, he listens to Si Yu talking about a famous play in the book and tea house. Nowadays, it is very popular among girls and boys. Qiao Hezhi is skeptical. Not long ago, Fang The most sought-after one is "Lightning Avoidance Guide for Township Exams", Zensheng has been updated so quickly.

Thinking that there are his own bookstores on the left and right, and that he likes to open opera and story books, he asked Si Yu to fetch the books and read them for himself.

Twelve chapters of the play had already been recorded, and he flipped through it casually, and he was really fascinated by it. He hugged the book every day, and he didn't even care much about picking Fang Yu home from class.

"With so much diligence these days, I've been watching you reading this time when I come back."

Fang Yu's tone was a little stuffy, and he went into the house first when he came back.

He took off his cloak and hung it on the bookshelf at the side. Seeing that the people by the stove hadn't even got up, he felt even more annoyed. It was understandable that Qiao Hezhi didn't come to pick him up in such a cold day. The body knew it well, even if he came to pick him up, he wanted to persuade him not to come, but he didn't say anything, but he didn't come first, so the nature was quite different.

Before he collapsed, he hugged the warm Qiao Hezhi, and pressed his cold chin directly into Qiao Hezhi's neck.

Qiao Hezhi was reading vigorously, and the chill wrapped around his body made him startled: "What are you doing, it's too cold for you to freeze me!"

Seeing that the person in his arms finally put down the book, Fang Yu muttered: "No one told you to look at me, there are so big snow particles outside, my hands were frozen when I came back, you said Can you not feel the cold?"

"really?"

Qiao Hezhi turned around and pulled Fang Yu's hand. The knuckles of the man's broad palm were indeed glowing red. He hurriedly got up to fetch the freshly watered Mrs. Tang. When he looked up, he saw snow particles scattered outside the window, and some of the yard was whitish. One after another, the round particles fell on the grass and trees and made a rustling sound. He was so fascinated by the book that he didn't even notice it.

Fang Yu leaned on the soft bed and looked at the foolish Qiao Hezhi: "Look if I coaxed you, there are snowballs of this size outside, and I don't know to come to welcome your husband."

Feeling guilty, Qiao Hezhi put the warming stove in Fang Yu's palm, wrapped his warmed hands around his and rubbed them together: "Xuezhu puts a carriage on to pick you up at the gate of the academy. If it rains or snows, I will definitely prepare it The umbrella won't let you get drenched."

"It's still windy."

Qiao Hezhi felt that he was deliberately finding fault: "You are so big, you will not be blown away by the wind."

Fang Yu said: "That's not sure."

Qiao Hezhi closed his mouth, only stared at Fang Yu, and said after a long while: "You must miss me."

Fang Yu laughed, hugged Qiao Hezhi, and let him sit on his lap. He picked up the book beside him: "I read it every day. What are you reading?"

Speaking of this, Qiao Hezhi snatched the book back: "The stories that the little girl likes are nothing more than lingering dramas. But today they are the best-selling books in the bookstore. Circumstances are always right.”

"It is most reasonable to count you."

Seeing that Fang Yu was not taking his play, Qiao Hezhi felt relieved to turn the pages of the book to where he was looking, and leaning against Fang Yu's chest was more beautiful.

Fang Yu and the others go out early and come back late at the academy, and the winter is extremely cold. Not only the scholars can't stand the cold in the academy, but also the teachers with physical bodies can't bear it. Fortunately, he put a heater in the teacher's room and brought silver bone charcoal by himself. Go, except for the cold in the classroom during class, it's okay in the master's room, but it's easy to catch typhoid if it's cold and hot, and the hands and feet are still stiff and cold after sitting for a long time.

Seeing the warm person sitting in his arms, his mind was still on the page of the drama document, and he didn't seem to ask for warmth, he threw away Mrs. Tang dissatisfied in his heart, and Qiao Hezhi retrieved Mrs. Tang and stuffed it into his hand without moving his eyes. inside.

Seeing that Xiao Qiao really didn't want to pay attention to himself, he thought of making trouble. Mrs. Tang and the people in her arms were warm, and his heart was itching. Is there anything about men and women being happy?"

Qiao Hezhi blushed when he heard the words: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. If there is true love, it must be like this."

"As a teacher, you always fill your mind with unimportant things."

"How can this be unimportant?"

There are very few items to pass the time in winter, and the long nights, if you don’t exercise your muscles and bones, you really don’t know how to spend them.

Fang Yu smiled slyly and wanted to hug him to the bed, but Qiao Hezhi struggled.

"Do you think you can make it in this soft hole?" Fang Yu was surprised, but then smiled again: "That's fine, the left and right sides are soft and narrow, which is exactly what I want."

Qiao Hezhi quickly put down the book and grabbed Fang Yu's clothes: "I, I didn't agree!"

Fang Yu lowered his voice: "You still need to agree to this. You look at the family outside with three wives and four concubines. Others think it's not your turn, but you refuse it instead. Is it plausible?"

Qiao Hezhi looked at Fang Yu, and what he said was not unreasonable, but it was too frequent, only once two months ago.

"Is this still frequent? How many two months can there be in a year, and didn't you think that there could be three or five times a year, but this is just your unilateral feeling, I think it will be ten times, according to you and me It means at least eight times in the fold."

Qiao Hezhi's eyes widened: "A compromise? Where did you make the compromise?"

"You're five and I'm ten, the compromise is seven and a half times, rounded up, it is naturally eight times."

Qiao Hezhi's mind was a little confused: "Did you do the math like that!"

Fang Yudao: "Last year there was none, there were eight times in total, and this year there was only one time a few months ago. It's already the end of winter, and the Chinese New Year will be around the twelfth lunar month. I don't plan to compare last year and this year's Keep accumulating, if you don't want to now, you will have to do it every two days next month, you can count it yourself."

Qiao Hezhi was shocked, only listening to Fang Yu Babaer's words, but he didn't figure out how to calculate it, why there were so many, and panicked: "No, no, I'm afraid of the cold!"

"Students don't want to study, so they use spring sleepiness, summer fatigue and autumn weakness as excuses, and winter just sleeps as an excuse. Aren't you the same?" Fang Yu carried him directly to the bed: "I'll cover you with a quilt to keep you cool." I don't care about you, and besides, it's not the first time you've done this, you don't know if it's cold or not? If it's really cold, then you should reflect on why it's cold."

The next day, Qiao Hezhi lay on the bed and couldn't get up. Fang Yu asked him not to agree, so she turned around and kissed him: "It's getting late, I have to rush to the academy, and I have to eat breakfast when I get up later." Yes, I will ask Si Yu to bring you to the house."

Qiao Hezhi responded sullenly, half of his face buried under the quilt was still red, it didn't happen once or twice, but he didn't have to be ashamed for so long, it was just last night... last night People actually changed to tricks that they had never done before, and he still did what he asked, and now I feel regretful when I think about it.

After hearing the sound of closing the door, he let go of the quilt and sat up, but then remembered that he was on someone like this last night, and immediately shrank back into the quilt regardless of the backache, pulled out the opera from the edge of the pillow and watched for a while. thoughts.

Two days later, Qiao Hezhi had finished reading the play on hand, and he figured that the manuscript of the new episode would be published, so he sent Si Yu to get the manuscript, so that others could see the new episode first, without Cheng Xiangsiyu went but ran away, and the author never came to hand in the follow-up manuscript.

He also wanted to read the next article, and there were many opera fans in the bookstore every day to inquire about the manuscript, so he went to the bookstore to ask for the address of the author, and personally went to the bookstore to urge the manuscript.

Qiao Hezhi went to Wuliu Lane according to the address. This area is the houses of local households in Yuncheng. They are all native Yuncheng people. Most of them are households with some business. The family background is not rich but they are living a good life. Most of the sons of these families can read the book, and it is reasonable for the author to be from here.

It's just that I didn't expect that the person who knocked the door and opened it was a woman. I heard that it was someone from the bookstore, so I invited him in very politely.

After some inquiring, I found out that the very best-selling opera script in the bookstore was written by a girl. Because the girl got married this month, she was busy making wedding dresses and many cumbersome etiquettes, so she didn't have time to write the manuscript on time. The girl was originally in her spare time. I wrote it to pass the time, and I passed by the bookstore and went in to submit the manuscript. I didn't expect it to pass like this, and I didn't expect it to be so popular later.

Now that the Fangzhu came to urge the manuscript, she also promised to take time to write it, and she would definitely hand in the manuscript in three or two days.

Qiao Hezhi was a little surprised on the way back. He had always thought that the play was written by a scholar who wanted to earn royalties, or that it was compiled by an experienced gentleman who specialized in writing books to make a living. He opened a door.
