rotten son-in-law

For this self-portrait, Mu Qingchen spent sleepless nights and food. She went back and forth to draw a lot of pictures and was dissatisfied. Later, she was too tired, so she chose one that barely catches the eye.

The next day, when I was about to go out.

She grabbed her father in the dining room, stuck the portrait in front of his eyes, and asked repeatedly: "Look again, is the person in the painting one-tenth as beautiful as me?"

Mu Guogong: ...

Jiahe, who was serving a bowl of porridge, and Mu Guogong, who kicked under the table, signaled him to quickly put away his "speechless" face.

The helper said: "Mother thinks this painting is very good. Your painting skills are not outstanding, but you are also proficient. Didn't the Imperial College praise you for the wine?"

Mu Guogong continued: "That's right, Chen'er, you are sincere, Miss Chang will definitely like it very much."

Ever since, Mu Qingchen went out early with the painting under their pursuit.

Stepping on the beat of the evening drum, she stepped on the road to the Imperial College three times, passing by the breakfast shop, and bought two mustard pancakes, one for herself and one for Chang Shu.

Suddenly he remembered that he had forgotten about Yi Xiaobai, returned it, and bought another one.

The freshly baked Hubing is crispy and fragrant, and it is still hot to the hand.Mu Qingchen was afraid that it would get cold, so he put it in his arms.

Her arms were warm all the way, and when she arrived at the Imperial College, she was already sweating profusely.

There are not many students in the school right now, and chatter is sparse.But both Chang Shu and Yi Xiaobai had already arrived, and they were chatting happily together, occasionally laughing like silver bells.

Mu Qingchen was so envious and jealous, he bowed his head and pursed his mouth, looking at Yi Xiaobai as if hiding a blade, and pierced her vest hard.

"What are you talking about so happily?" Mu Qingchen asked.

She thickened her skin, twisted her body, and forced Chang Shu and Yi Xiaobai away.

Hmph, don't get so close.

Chang Shu said generously: "I haven't come for a few days, Xiaobai was telling me some interesting things about the Imperial College recently, and I just talked about the part where you and Lin Pinru bickered."

noob?

They all called so affectionately.

Why have I never called her "Qingchen", every time I call her, I always use her first and last name.

Mu Qingchen ate a big bucket of vinegar, his mouth seemed to be stuffed with a sour apricot, and the roots of his teeth were sore.

I swear, I bought you Hubing cakes for you, but if I don’t give them, I will eat them alone.

After a lot of mental activities, she turned around and left without saying a word, returning to the desk in the corner.

Chang Shu watched her go without any intention of chasing her.

"Keep talking, keep talking." She urged Yi Xiaobai.

"... Where did I just say?"

"Speaking of——you rolled up your sleeves and were about to fight Lin Pinru, when Jijiu suddenly appeared behind you."

"Oh yes yes yes..."

The background music sounded beside Mu Qingchen in the distance: The cold rain slapped randomly on the face, you are like an executioner who betrayed me...

She took out the three stacked Hubing, tore off the oil paper, and took a big bite... bite... bite...

Damn, it's too thick to bite into.

"Bang", she angrily threw the hummus at her feet.

After finally surviving until noon, the teachers in the hall were also tired, smacking their lips and waving their hands, they drove everyone to the cafeteria for lunch.

Mu Qingchen got up first, rushed to the front of the crowd for an unprecedented time, was the first to receive lunch, and sat in a good seat by the window, shaking his legs alone, pawing the wilting rapeseed.

Chang Shu and Yi Xiaobai squeezed out of the crowd and sat on her left and right hands holding the bowls and chopsticks.

"Why didn't you wait for us to come together?" Chang Shu asked.

Mu Qingchen gouged her out and said nothing.

Chang Shu: I...did something wrong...

With bamboo chopsticks in his mouth, Yi Xiaobai observes the two people who stare at each other, and wonders that they seem to be much closer than before even though they clearly dislike each other.

且

Chang Shu hasn't been to the Imperial College for three months, so the relationship should be unfamiliar.

Could it be——Mu Qingchen accepted the fact that he was a broken sleeve, and ran behind her back to confess to Chang Shu?

Yi Xiaobai took down the bamboo chopsticks and lightly tapped on the side of the bowl: "You guys, do you have something to hide from me?"

Chang Shu is thin-skinned, and when she asked, she remembered sharing the same bed with Mu Qingchen the night before.

Pursing his mouth into a straight line, he picked up a small spoon and put a mouthful of soup into his mouth.The movements were stumbling, showing a guilty conscience from beginning to end.

Yi Xiaobai punched his leg and narrowed his eyes: "I guessed right!"

Mu Qingchen said poorly: "There are so many things that are hidden from you, which one did you ask?"

Chang Shu tugged on Mu Qingchen's sash, blushing, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense."

After a while, as if he was not relieved, he twisted a piece of flesh on her arm again.

Yi Xiaobai: Tsk tsk tsk, they are all flirting in front of me!

After school, Mu Qingchen still took a step ahead, determined to be jealous to the end.

Chang Shu and Yi Xiaobai looked at each other, shrugged, and followed her obediently.The three of them maintained the formation of "pin".

When passing by the downtown area, Yi Xiaobai was going to look for her father in a nearby restaurant, so they parted at the street corner, turned around three times at the last step, and stared at them with ambiguous eyes.

Chang Shu couldn't bear her, so she pulled Mu Qingchen forward quickly, and only let go after pushing Yi Xiaobai far away.

"You and Yi Xiaobai have a very good relationship." Mu Qingchen said eccentrically.

Chang Shu intentionally angered her: "Xiaobai is much cuter than you. He can play tricks, show off cuteness, and tell a lot of funny stories about the world. Unlike you, it's boring."

"I, I, I am so boring!"

Mu Qingchen was hit hard, and accidentally bumped into a peddler who was carrying a bamboo frame. The small bells tied to the frame made messy noises, which attracted Chang Shu's attention. She stopped and picked up two sachets in her hand. inside.

"Didn't I take you to fight with Dong Shangshu's eldest son before?" Mu Qingchen said again.

Chang Shu took all the sachets, gave the peddler a piece of silver, and replied, "I'm ashamed to say, if you can't beat you, just run away and don't even call me."

Leaving her there to beat five, made her fist hurt for several days.

Mu Qingchen felt that this matter was quite embarrassing, and touched his nose: "You are good at skills, if I am here, you still have to distract yourself to protect me, and cause you more trouble."

"You think too much," Chang Shu sneered, "I won't come to protect you."

Mu Qingchen: ...

Walking to Taipingfang, Chang Shu raised her hand to build a tent in front of her brow bone, looked at the time, then put down her hand, spread her palm upwards, and begged for a portrait with Mu Qingchen.

Mu Qingchen waited for her to ask for it, and took it out from the book bag slung across his waist.

Chang Shu took it, unfolded it, and closed it again. The action was done in one go, from beginning to end, without any superfluous expressions.

Well, don't you even boast about your painting skills?Anyway, it's a perfunctory sentence.Mu Qingchen couldn't help it, and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied." Chang Shu replied.

I am so satisfied, the face is painted very big, and the details are full, the old men of the Painting and Calligraphy Academy only need to take a look, and the roster can be completed immediately.

Listening to her praise, Mu Qingchen rubbed his hands secretly, his eyes fell on the sachet she just bought, which was being held by Chang Shu in the palm of his hand, revealing the bright yellow binding and short tape.

Anyway, I bought two and gave one to her as a gift.

Chang Shu smiled and rolled her eyes, and put the sachet behind her back: "Of course there is a reward."

Mu Qingchen pricked up her ears, with a sincere expression, waiting for her next words.

"Help me with today's homework."

"Remember to use different study paper, different pens, different inks, and handwriting must be different."

"So as not to be caught by the Master."

After finishing speaking, his head, facing the afterglow of the setting sun, was full of smiles.

Mu Qingchen: ...

Seeing that she was indifferent, Chang Shu shook her face coquettishly.

Shaking her wrist: "Please~"

Mu Qingchen enjoyed the feeling of being needed, raised her head and said, "Didn't you say that Yi Xiaobai is cuter, go find her."

Chang Shu looked at her amusedly, and coaxed in a warm voice: "If you help me with my homework, you will be the cutest person in my heart."

"Really?"

She touched the top of Mu Qingchen's hair: "Yes."

This time, Chang Shu entered the imperial city through the Hanguang Gate in a fair manner. At that time, at the moment when all the palaces were locked, the officials went out densely. In a hurry to salute.

Chang Shu waved her hands casually without stopping, walked hurriedly, turned into the Hanlin Academy, and found that the person had not yet left, her tense complexion eased a little.

An old minister put on a gauze hat, went to the door, and bowed to her.

Chang Shu took a breath, said a few words to him, and when he handed the scroll to him, she still refused to let it go.Five light-white fingers curled up gently, holding the roll of drawing paper.

Seeing her hesitation, the old minister took a step back slowly and stood with his head bowed.

After an unknown amount of time, the shadow of the tree shone through the window swayed, and Chang Shu regained her thoughts and put the scroll into her sleeve.

"Send the roster to Hulan Hall tomorrow, and I will fill it up in person."
