Chapter 4 4. Xu Ziyi
Chapter 4 4.Xu Ziyi
Uncle Chen, who pulls an ox cart in the village, pulls people in the village and town every day, at two o'clock and one line at a very fixed time.
Normally, Yunyao returns late and can't even see the shadow of the bullock cart, so today she ran over excitedly as soon as she saw the bullock cart waiting on the east side of the town.
She looked at Uncle Chen with bright eyes and asked, "Uncle, is there still a place?"
Uncle Chen looked at the poor baby with sympathy, and even though he knew she had no money, he still said: "Yes, come on up."
Yunyao dug into her pocket and wanted to take out three copper coins, but the pocket was too full and the coins were all underneath. She finally managed to pinch the coins and tried to take them out, but she dropped the coins all over the floor.
Uncle Chen:
People in the car:
Yun Yao first handed the copper plate to Uncle Chen, then picked up all the silver and put it back into his pocket.
She carried the backpack to the car and jumped on it lightly.
When the time came, the bullock cart started moving. Yun Yao sat on the edge, swaying his little feet, and experienced the feeling of riding in the bullock cart for the first time.
She never noticed Yun Dexing sitting on the other side of the bullock cart.
In the evening, Yunyao took out a head of pickled cabbage and cut it into cubes. Aunt Huang's pickled cabbage was sour, spicy and refreshing, and it was perfect when paired with rice.
I don't know if it's Yun Yao's illusion, but Yu An seems to have a little more flesh on his face. He looks healthier and more handsome.
When it was getting dark, Yun Yao came to Yu An's room with a brazier. The door was open. She put the brazier on the ground, and the room suddenly became much brighter.
Yu An was still copying, and he wanted to finish copying before dark. The firelight suddenly shone on his dim paper, and his eyes suddenly felt comfortable, and his cold hands warmed up.
Yun Yao took a look aside and found that she didn't recognize the words here at all, so she shook her head and walked away silently.
When Yu An saw her shaking her head, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly slowed down her writing speed and began to stroke one stroke at a time.
He really wanted Yun Yao to come see him again, but he was very entangled in his heart. He was so focused that he didn't notice Yun Yao coming in again.
Yun Yao also put a brazier in his room, fell on the bed and slept warmly.
After Yu An finished copying the book, he noticed that there was an extra set of clothes beside the bed, which was a velvet gown. He picked up the clothes and found a pair of shoes and a jade pendant underneath.
Yun Yao had pawned the jade pendant a few days ago and had forgotten to return it.
In order to redeem it, Yunyao spent almost all his savings.
But that was a jade pendant that Yu An even starved to death, so how could Yun Yao ignore it.
A different wave flashed in Yu An's eyes.
The next day Yunyao was awakened by a slamming door. She thought it was the Yun family looking for trouble again, so she picked up the ax and rushed out the door. As soon as she opened the door, she was blinded by Yu An.
Dressed in white, he stood there, making everything around him lose color.
"A humble gentleman is as gentle as jade." That's all he said.
Yu An was also stunned. Firstly, he didn't expect that the draft was so powerful and he didn't even have time to hold the door. Secondly, he didn't expect that Yun Yao would suddenly rush out, carrying an ax.
When Yun Yao saw that there was no one else at the door, she knew what was going on. She put down the ax, looked at the baggage on Yu An's back, and asked, "Are you going out?"
"Yeah." Yu An nodded.
"Oh, be careful on the road." Yun Yao shrank his neck, muttered "It's so cold," and then closed the door and went back.
Yu An glanced at the closed door resentfully and left with a cane.
Arriving at the entrance of the village, I passed Uncle Chen's bullock cart and was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.
Yu An turned around and saw that it was Uncle Chen. He was about to say that he had no money to take the bus, but the other party spoke first.
"Why go forward? Get in the car quickly."
Seeing Yu An's doubts, the two young wives in the car told him in a flurry of words, as if they were trying to seize the opportunity to talk to him.
Only then did Yu An realize that Yun Yao had given Uncle Chen ten taels of silver, and he could call on Uncle Chen whenever he wanted to go out.
Ten taels of silver is enough to feed a family for a whole year.
Uncle Chen had money in his pocket and happily helped Yu An onto the bullock cart. Yu An was stunned all the way and didn't know what he was thinking.
Yun Yao slept for another half an hour before waking up. He vaguely felt that he had dreamed of the Immortal Lord. When he woke up, he remembered that Yu An had gone out in the morning.
It's different with a fire pot. It's warmer and I can sleep better.
Yun Yao also put on new clothes and shoes, and came to the kitchen. The water tank that bottomed out yesterday was now full. Yun Yao scooped out a basin of water to wash himself, and then opened the lid of the pot. The rice in the pot was still warm.
After Yunyao had eaten, she went to the mountains to pick a lot of mushrooms. Instead of going home, she carried them directly to the market, placed them next to Aunt Huang's stall, and then walked away gracefully.
In the restaurant opposite, a man in rich clothes looked at the unattended stall with interest. When the mushrooms disappeared little by little and the copper plates piled up like a hill, he stood up and left the restaurant.
When Uncle Chen sent the first wave of people to the town, he did not let Yu An get off the bus.
"Miss Yun asked me to send you to the right place. Just tell me where to go."
"The county government." Yu An said.
"What? County government?" Uncle Chen said in shock: "Why are you going to the county government? That is not something we ordinary people can go to casually."
"Uncle Chen, don't worry, I'm just going to deliver the book." Yu An said.
Uncle Chen didn't know what book to send, but he was in his thirties and wanted to save face. Yu An didn't panic, so how could he panic.
Uncle Chen looked calm on the surface but felt confused in his heart as he drove to the county government office.
Uncle Chen parked the bullock cart five or six meters away from the county government office and waited on the bullock cart for Erlang to return.
When he arrived at the county government office, Yu An handed the book to the steward who came up to him. The steward flipped through it casually and marveled: "Young master Yu's calligraphy is really wonderful, and he is not inferior to everyone in calligraphy."
It's just a waste to fall into the hands of the young master.
The housekeeper didn't dare to say this.
"That's ridiculous." Yu An said.
The butler looked at the young man in front of him who was neither humble nor arrogant with approval, handed him the reward, took two books from the boy's hands, and said to Yu An: "The next two books are here. I have plenty of time, so I'll leave it to Mr. Yu.
.”
"Okay." Yu An did not hesitate, took the two books, held them in his arms, and said, "Then I'll leave first."
The housekeeper nodded and was about to speak when a shoe suddenly fell on his head with a "pop" sound.
"Oh, who is it?" The housekeeper rubbed his head and was about to yell, but when he turned around, he saw his young master hanging on the outer wall, with his back to him, his feet dangling in the air, and one foot was not wearing a shoe.
Xu Ziyi climbed over the wall to go out to play as usual. Unexpectedly, he had a bad start today and his clothes got caught. He was about to go back and take off his clothes when he kicked off with his right foot.
I didn't step up, and the shoe flew off.
Embarrassed and embarrassed, Xu Ziyi slowly turned his head, wanting to see the reaction of the poor boy copying the book.
If you dare to laugh at him, that kid is doomed.
However, Yu An, who witnessed the whole process, didn't even give him a look and left with an indifferent expression.
Xu Ziyi lost his grip and his clothes were torn.
This frightened the young men so much that they took the young master back in a panic.
It was still early, so Yu An went to buy an oil lamp and a bottle of medicine for bruises before Uncle Chen took him back.
"It turns out that Yu Xiaolang is also literate." On the way back, Uncle Chen talked to me.
"I have learned a little bit," Yu An said.
"That's amazing. Counting you, there are only two scholars in our village." Uncle Chen suddenly turned his head and said, "I heard that the academy in town is recruiting students recently. Why don't Yu Xiaolang go and have a look?"
"No, I have no plans to take the exam." Yu An said.
Uncle Chen glanced at Yu An's legs and suddenly realized that he was asking too much.
He has such a bad mouth.
