The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 707: Strategy for the Blind Villain (3)
When the nanny brought breakfast, Shi Yi immediately dismissed everyone.
"Here, this is fresh and thick red date and barley porridge."
"Here, this is the local chicken that has been stewed overnight and the bones are removed."
"Here, this is freshly fried water chestnuts and shrimp."
"Here, this is boneless river fish."
"Here, this is boiled vegetable soup."
Shi Yi told him the names of the dishes while arranging them. Qu Jingrong had never heard anyone talk to him about these things before, so he listened very carefully and even memorized the positions of the dishes. Although he couldn't see, he was a strong-willed person and didn't want others to serve him as if he were blind.
"It's ready." She stuffed the newly delivered bowl and chopsticks into his hands, and took the initiative to serve a bowl of porridge to his right, "Eat."
"Thank you for your hard work, sister." Qu Jingrong turned the chopsticks in her hand upside down. Shi Yi then realized that she had handed the chopsticks the wrong way and secretly blamed herself for being careless.
"This is the first time that Jingrong has eaten alone with his sister since he was a child." He first took a sip of soup to moisten his throat, and when he looked up, his eyes were as clear as the water flowing in the stream. If Shi Yi hadn't noticed his tense arm muscles, she would have thought that her brother really cherished this opportunity.
"Don't talk while eating." It wasn't something he said willingly, so who would he say it to.
"Oh." He responded softly.
Shi Yi noticed that he didn't take any of the dishes away. He was born blind, but he could live like a normal person. Who knew how much effort he had put in secretly. How did he get through the past fourteen years in the Qu Mansion? She herself didn't seem to pay much attention to it.
Qu Jingrong didn't hear the sound of her chewing, and shook his head, guessing that she must be observing him now. Let her observe, anyway, he was a blind man who could be watched by everyone. Today, thanks to her, he had a good meal, so it didn't matter if he went along with her.
"You are so thin that you look like a skeleton. If others see you, they will think that we treat you badly." Shi Yi picked up a big bowl of chicken for him and said, "Eat it. I will come to eat with you every day in the future, so that you won't always eat so little. Dad has been busy dealing with the Yellow River flood these days. I don't want him to see you when he comes home after his official duties and think that I, as the eldest sister, didn't treat you well. Then he will scold me again." The more she said this
, the more resentful she became. So it was for this reason that she came here. After figuring this out, Qu Jingrong was able to accept her coming every morning.
"I know, sister, I will be good."
"You eat first, I'll go around your room." Shi Yi put the chopsticks on the bowl in his hand and trotted into his room.
The housekeeper happened to bring the servants in with brand new furniture. Shi Yi directed them to put things in place, and then remembered that there seemed to be no paper and pen in this room. It was not just paper and pen that were missing. It seemed that it was not practical enough. Many things that should appear in the room were not seen.
Seeing her thinking so hard, the housekeeper took over the task, "Miss, how about I fix whatever is missing in the young master's room?"
"Yes." Shi Yi nodded, and waved her fingers in the air, "The young master's side yard is a little shabby, repair the places that need repair." As if she was afraid of being misunderstood, she said bluntly, "Although I don't like this brother very much, he is a member of our family after all. You say, if outsiders come to our house and find that the young master lives in such a shabby house and eats a mess of food, wouldn't it be a joke if it gets out?"
"Miss, I understand." The housekeeper lowered his head, with a look of relief on his lips.
No matter what, what the young lady did was to change the living conditions of the young master, and the master would be happy if he knew.
"Okay, clean up here, I'll go to the garden with the young master." Shi Yi raised his hand to brush off the dust, walked out of the inner room, and saw Qu Jingrong standing there. He shouted, "Why are you standing there? Let's go. Let's go to the garden to digest our food."
"Okay, sister." He turned around and was about to move forward. Shi Yi spotted a rusty nail standing high in front of his path, and when no one noticed, she ran over and pushed him away.
She calculated the angle and it wouldn't be a big problem if she fell into the flowers. But if she stepped on the nail, she might get tetanus. She couldn't get out of bed for ten days or half a month.
"Sister~" Qu Jingrong, who was lying on the flowers, had a cold look in his eyes. He should have known that she had always hated him and wanted to torture herself to death.
"You said that this robe is too ill-fitting for you. You must have stepped on it." Shi Yi picked up the nail and put it on the table, then helped him up.
Qu Jingrong just felt that she was hypocritical, however, now was not the time to turn against her. He hid the coldness in his eyes, took her hand and stood up, and said with cautious flattery, "Thank you sister for helping me."
"It's okay, let's go." Shi Yi took the opportunity to pat him a few more times. This child is really a skeleton.
Qu Jingrong frowned in pain and suppressed the irritation in his heart.
There was nothing to visit in this garden, so Shi Yi walked around with him and then returned to the side yard.
The housekeeper had already cleaned the entire side yard considerately, and it looked brand new. She nodded with satisfaction and pushed him to sit on the stone table, "Sit down first, I'll get you something."
It was the sound of wood colliding, the thing she came to hold in the morning. His eyelashes fluttered, "What did my sister bring?"
"It's the Thousand Character Classic." Shi Yi moved the wooden board in front of him, grabbed his hand and pressed it on the board, "Touch it and try."
Qu Jingrong sneered in his heart, how could a blind man like him read a book, but when his hand fell, he was shocked. He actually touched the outline of the Chinese characters.
"The word you are touching now is '天'." Shi Yi held his hand and moved it down, "This word is '地', this word is '玄', and this word is '黄'." Seeing his hidden excitement, Shi Yi didn't disturb him for the time being and stood aside quietly. "
The sky and the earth are dark yellow, the universe is vast and boundless.
The sun and the moon wax and wane, and the stars are lined up.
Winter comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter stores.
The leap year is made up, and the rhythm adjusts the sun. Clouds rise and
rain falls, and dew turns into frost.
Gold is born in Lishui, and jade comes out of Kungang.
The sword is called Juque, and the pearl is called Yeguang.
The fruits are precious, such as pears and pears; the vegetables are heavy, such as mustard and ginger.
The sea is salty, the river is fresh; scales dive and wings fly. "
Every time Qu Jingrong touched a word completely, his heart was more excited. Hua Jinxiu had read these words to him before, but unfortunately he couldn't see them and didn't know what they looked like.
God was merciful, and for the first time he knew exactly how these words were written.
