Song Xintong, standing on tiptoe on the wall, smiles at Lu Yunkai, who is reading under the osmanthus tree. "Master Lu has a good disposition. What book do you read?"
Lu Yun opened his eyes and took a look at Song Xintong, who had been a little bit blacker in the last two days. It seems that these days have been very hard, "just read some travel notes."
"Master Lu likes reading such books." Song Xintong could not help but be surprised, but when he thought about it, he was not like those old-fashioned scholars, and he felt that it should be.
"Reading ten thousand books is like walking ten thousand miles." Lu Yunkai said lightly.
Song Xintong asked: "since Lu wants to go out, why don't he go out for a walk?"
"I don't need to take the imperial examination again." Lu Yunkai's voice was a little lost, but he quickly covered it up. "What's the matter with Miss Song?"
Song Xintong nodded and handed the basket to him across the air. "I have a special stewed pig's hoof. I specially left it. Please have a taste of it."
Worried that he would not accept it, he said, "as a gift of thanks for helping me take the donkey cart back to his home yesterday."
Every time it was like this, he found a suitable reason to refuse. Lu Yunkai took the basket and took a look. Sure enough, he saw two fragrant pig feet. They were golden and bright. They didn't look greasy at all, and they were very appetizing.
There are about ten mushrooms beside the big bowl. "What's this mushroom?"
Song Xintong said: "it's called Tricholoma matsutake. If you eat it often, it can strengthen the essence, tonify the kidney, strengthen the brain and improve intelligence. It's suitable for the weak."
"It's such a good mushroom again. Miss Song doesn't have to give it to me. Take it back and sell it to subsidize my family." Lu Yunkai handed the basket back to her.
Song Xintong got off the wall and shook his head at Lu Yunkai across the wall. "How can I get back what I sent out? There are many more in my family and they have been sold. Take them, Mr. Lu. "
Lu Yunkai sighed and asked in a warm voice: "every time Miss Song gives you food, it's far more than the value of helping you. It's not appropriate."
"What's wrong?" Song Xintong said with a smile, "Mr. Lu thinks it's... I'm bribing you."
"Bribe me?" Lu Yunkai was stunned and then faintly laughed, "I'm just a sour scholar. What's worth bribing?"
Song Xintong thinks that Lu Yunkai's smile is more beautiful than the peach blossom in March. Even if he has a scar on his cheek, he is still beautiful. "My two younger brothers are coming to study with Lu Fuzi soon. Lu Fuzi should remember to shine more on them."
Lu Yunkai listened to the reason she made up now. He couldn't help laughing, "your younger brother is smart. You don't need to be in Xiaguan. You can also be among the best."
"Not necessarily." Song Xintong said with a smile, "Mr. Lu, when does your school start in August?"
"The eighth of August." Lu Yun said.
Song Xintong nodded and wrote down the days. Don't forget them.
Looking at Song Xintong's tired eyebrows, Lu Yunkai blurted out: "how's song's business these two days?"
"Good." Song Xintong took Lu Yunkai as a friend and said a few words to him. Then he asked, "now I'm hesitant to sell it at night."
Lu Yunkai can guess that her food is very popular with the workers, "it can be added in the evening, but should the dishes be added? After all, it's too monotonous to eat what Miss Song said all day long. "
"Mr. Lu, what you said is reasonable, but I haven't thought of adding any dishes yet." Song Xintong leaned on the wall again, holding his head with one hand and sighed, "I've thought about grilling fish, but it doesn't seem appropriate. People are on the edge of Qingjiang River. Isn't it easy to fish?"
Lu Yunkai nodded, "at night, the workers have a hobby of drinking a few mouthfuls. It's better to be able to drink and fill their stomachs."
Song Xintong's eyes brightened.
Lu Yunkai looked at the bright light under her eyes, and her mouth could not help rising. In front of her, the girl of song was really tough. No matter how hard she was, she was not afraid. On the contrary, she was always positive, and there was an enviable light of hope in her eyes.
Lu Yunkai suddenly thought of himself three years ago. After his face was destroyed, he was depressed. He didn't know what year and what month he was. Even after his father died, he was the same.
If he could be as persevering and positive as Miss Song, he would recover earlier, and his mother would not suffer so much.
Fortunately, it's not too late.
Song Xintong thought about it carefully, but he still didn't think about it. "I'll go back and think about it. If it doesn't work, I'll just sell it for lunch."
Lu Yunkai nodded. "Miss Song is smart. She will be able to come up with a suitable dish."
Song Xintong's eyes brightened, and he began to smile at Lu Yun. "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for solving my doubts. I'll leave first today." Then he turned and ran to the stream.
Lu Yunkai looked at the pale blue shade and the grass, and looked at the basket in his hand. He could not help but hook up the corner of his mouth.
I don't know when mother Lu came over and looked out of the wall, but she didn't see anyone. She asked, "who are you talking to?"
Lu Yunkai put away his smile and said in a light voice, "the villagers who brought vegetables."
Lu's mother was puzzled. "Why did she send it again?"
"To thank me for helping her." Lu Yunkai explained.
Lu's mother gesticulated and said, "I have a heart. Why don't you invite someone to come in and have a seat?"
Lu Yunkai pause for a moment, lonely men and few women, please come in and do what“ There's nothing to say. You don't have to come in
Lu's mother pursed her lips and said with dissatisfaction, "in the future, we'll have to have a foothold in the village. You'd better have more contact with other people in the village. Don't stay at home all day."
"The son is at home with his mother." Lu Yun said.
"Mother Lu said:" mother does not need you to accompany, you go to the village head for a walk
Lu Yunkai said helplessly, "mother, my son can't farm. What can I say to those people?"
"But..." Lu's mother thought and tears came out, touching the scar on Lu Yunkai's cheek, "my poor son, it's my mother's fault that she can't get justice for you."
Lu Yunkai shook his head. "My son is OK. It's been so long. That man has already been punished."
"But he broke your way of imperial examination." Lu's mother was very sad. She knew how good her son was at school, but he was envied and fell off his horse and hurt his face.
"He couldn't take part in the imperial examination either. It's even." If Lu Yunkai didn't say anything, the scar on his face was more terrible than that on his face. Even if they paid a lot of money to dredge the relationship, they didn't have the chance to participate in it again. In this way, he took advantage of it. If he was willing to spend money to dredge it, he would still have the chance to take the scientific examination again.
Lu Mu was helped to walk inside the yard. As she walked, she suddenly stopped and asked, "Yunkai, I have some money here. Take it..."
"No, mother, I don't want to take the scientific examination again." Lu Yunkai has long lost his determination to worship the prime minister three years ago. He thinks it's good to be a hermit like his father. He teaches and educates people.
