Chapter 5: Book drying

Views:

You Qing watched Bai Li's figure gropingly crawling onto the bed in the weak light, couldn't help but feel amused, moved slightly inward to make room for him, and then he couldn't help feeling emotional.

He usually has a slight habit of cleanliness, not because he loves cleanliness too much, but because he is estranged and indifferent to others, so the things he has used cannot be seen by others, and once they are touched, they will no longer be used.

But today, this fool who suddenly appeared has used his tableware and chopsticks, and is still lying on his bed with his quilt covered. He doesn't feel disgusted at all, and for some reason, he just can't talk to him. Get rusty. Although I have never seen this person before, every time I see his clear eyes, I always feel an inexplicable intimacy.

Bai Li didn't know what he was thinking. He only knew that he was a little dizzy. The man who had been guarding for a thousand years was so close to him. Looking and waiting will not be just a dream. But how can a dream be so clear and so long

Bai Li is not a sentimental person. After all, those things have already passed. Thinking that there is still a chance for You Qing to get to know him slowly, he quickly recovered his spirits. This time, he finally caught up. You Qing didn't get married, and everything became unknown. Bai Li turned his body and glanced inside, squinting his eyes and laughing silently.

"What are you laughing at?" A gentle voice sounded in the darkness.

Bai Li was stunned: "Ah? How did you know?"

"Guess."

"Oh!" Bai Li laughed again, leaning on his stomach and propped himself up to look at him through the moonlight, "I'm your book boy now, should I call you son?"

"No need." You Qing's eyes showed a smile, "You're just a poor scholar, what kind of son do you call?"

"Everyone else shouts like that!"

"That's someone else."

When Bai Li heard this, he suddenly became excited: "Then what shall I call you in the future?"

"what ever."

Bai Li laughed even more cheerfully, and planted his head on the pillow for joy: "Aqing!" There was a hint of coquettishness in his joyful voice.

You Qing was stunned, his heart strings were inexplicably moved, and he turned his head to look around, but couldn't see anything clearly.

Bai Li propped up half of his body again, leaned closer to him, and said with a smile: "Ah Qing!"

You Qing opened his mouth, feeling a little overwhelmed by this intimate but unfamiliar address, not knowing how to respond.

Bai Li said to himself, "You can call me Ali!"

You Qing paused for a while, then subconsciously said, "Ali."

"Hey!" Bai Li responded loudly, unable to hide the smile in his voice.

You Qing couldn't help but also smiled, this fool, is he so happy that he has a place to live? It's really easy to be content with. It is not a bad thing that the contented person is always happy.

Lying beside You Qing, Bai Li felt extremely satisfied and completely lost sleepiness. After waiting for a long time, he couldn't fall asleep, and then propped himself up again: "Aqing, I will start reading and literacy tomorrow!"

You Qing replied in a daze, "Yeah."

Bai Li saw that he seemed to be asleep, so he didn't say anything. He watched quietly for a while, couldn't help raising his hand to cover his eyebrows, but stopped when he was about to put it on, squinting and smiling After a while, he retracted his hand again, and obediently lay down and went back to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, You Qing woke up at the usual time, opened his eyes and saw a person lying beside him, and was immediately stunned. After a long while, I remembered that I took in a fool last night.

The idiot was sleeping soundly, his long eyelashes cast a thin layer of shadow on the bottom of his eyes, his tightly closed eyes covered the black pupils, minus a bit of stupidity, the corners of his eyes were long and narrow, slightly raised, and dyed with a bright color seductive.

seductive? You Qing was stunned again, wondering what was wrong again, how could such an abrupt word appear in his mind. Unexpectedly, his eyes were fixed on Bai Li's face.

Bai Li's eyelashes moved slightly, and he woke up in a daze. The moment he woke up, the short-lived sadness appeared in his eyes again. Then, when he saw You Qing, his eyes immediately straightened, and his face burst into joy. , suddenly jumped up from the bed and looked at him excitedly: "Aqing!"

You Qing didn't know why he looked the same for a while, but only felt that his head hurt again, a helpless smile curved his mouth, sat up from the bed, looked at him and said, "Sometimes you don't look like a fool when you look at him."

Bai Li looked at him innocently and aggrieved: "I'm not a fool at all, and you don't believe me when I say it."

You Qing smiled, got out of bed, picked up the long gown and put it on. Bai Li hurriedly got out of bed, got close to him and asked excitedly, "Aqing, what am I going to do today?"

You Qing opened the window and saw that the weather was fine outside. Although the sun had just risen, there was no cloud in the sky. It was really cool in autumn.

"Ah?" Bai Li became nervous when he mentioned the book, "What should I do if I don't know how to read?"

Just now he said that he was not stupid, but in a blink of an eye, he appeared stupid again. You Qing couldn't help but chuckle, "I don't know how to read and write?"

"Oh..." Bai Li nodded and smiled at him, "I will!"

When it was close to noon, Bai Li moved You Qing's old rattan book box into the yard, took out the books one by one and spread them out on the ground, feeling that he really had the appearance of being a book boy. Heart happy.

When he was squatting on the ground and busy working, a voice suddenly came from outside, "Is Young Master You at home?"

Bai Li raised his head and responded, "At home."

It was the neighbor next to me, Aunt Zhang from the Zhang family. When I heard that it wasn't You Qing's voice, I was stunned for a moment. I pushed the door open and came in. The middle of the yard was covered with books, and there was a person squatting in the middle. of picturesque looks.

You Qing is already a well-known handsome scholar in a radius of 100 miles. Suddenly, she saw a young man who was even more eye-catching than You Qing. Aunt Zhang was taken aback and wondered why this poor country had added another wise man. When someone came, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is this little brother?"

"Aunt Zhang, do you have anything to do with me?" You Qing heard the voice coming out of the room and smiled when she heard Aunt Zhang's question, "This is my book boy."

Bai Li squinted and smiled, nodded: "Yes! I'm Ah Qing's book boy!"

Aunt Zhang froze for a moment and smiled, and joked: "It's different when you are admitted to the exam. It's only been a night of work, why did a book boy suddenly appear? I didn't see it yesterday."

The villagers are not good at deliberation in their speech. At best, these words are joking, and at worst, they have some sourness and doubts in them. However, You Qing has received a lot of care from Aunt Zhang since she was a child, and she understands her well after being grateful.

Never thought, Bai Li heard a different taste, and suddenly he was displeased, stood up and stared straight at her: "If Ah Qing does not pass the examination, I will make him a book boy. It doesn't matter if you lift people or not!"

Aunt Zhang was stunned by his harsh words.

You Qing didn't expect Bai Li to come so suddenly, so he was stunned for a while, and quickly smiled apologetically at Aunt Zhang, and said warmly, "Aunt Zhang is looking for me for something?"

Aunt Zhang returned to her senses, and quickly took out an envelope from her arms, took out a blank letter from the envelope, and walked towards him with a smile: "Look, I forgot about my business, I want to ask you a favor and write it for me. Send a letter to my sister, and when it's finished, I'll ask my man to take it to the city to find a messenger to deliver it."

"Okay." You Qing smiled and took the letter in her hand, then turned and walked into the house.

Bai Li thought about it, he knew how to grind ink, so he walked in quickly, actively picked up the ink ingot on the inkstone table and started grinding it. Seeing You Qing smiled at himself, he quickly returned a more brilliant one. smile.

Aunt Zhang originally wanted to say that this book boy was really active in her work, but when she thought of what Bai Li had said to her earlier, she couldn't say anything, so she just sat on the side and told You Qing what she wanted to write.

You Qing wrote it one by one according to her intention, read it to her again after writing, and then wrote the envelope. When the ink was dry, she put the letter in the envelope and handed it to her.

Aunt Zhang wrote and thanked her repeatedly, then took out four eggs from her sleeve and placed them on the table.

You Qing was stunned for a moment, and quickly pushed her back: "Aunt Zhang doesn't have to be so polite, it's just a little effort, I also have chickens in the back of the house, you can keep it for yourself."

"Hey, those chickens in your family haven't grown up yet. If you want to eat them raw, you have to wait. Don't be polite to Auntie. You keep the eggs." Aunt Zhang said and put them on the table again.

Although You Qing didn't have the sourness of ordinary scholars, and he didn't have a high-spirited spirit, he still didn't like to tug at others over trivial matters, so he finally had to bite the bullet and accept it.

As soon as Aunt Zhang left, the news immediately spread around, saying that there was a new book boy in Young Master You's family, and the book boy was even more handsome than the one born by Young Master You, and I don't know where it came from. , appeared suddenly.

And this book boy doesn't seem to have a good temper. I don't know why Young Master You has such a good temper to add such a bad tempered book boy, and I don't know if he can make this book boy obedient...

As soon as the news spread, it quickly spread at the foot of the Mist Mountain, and everyone speculated that this book boy might have been known by Young Master You when he was out for the exam.

Having said that, I thought of the young lady who was rumored to be in the middle of the middle class when he met outside. It's been a few days since the matchmaker was mad at me, and I never heard that the young lady's family sent someone here, and Youyou. The young master reads and writes every day, but he has never heard of meeting people when he goes out, which is really weird.

You Qing naturally didn't know about these rumors, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. After being admitted to the Juren, the days were still peaceful, but with the addition of Bai Li, it was still a lot of fun occasionally.

You Qing wrote for a while, then looked up to see Bai Li staring at him, stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?"

Bai Li squinted and smiled: "Aqing, can you teach me how to write?"
