Song Kaiji was shocked. All the absurd things that happened last night were still vivid in his mind. He carefully lifted a corner of the quilt and saw various marks on Shen Qing's body, which made him more certain of the authenticity of what happened last night.
He felt very guilty. When he saw Shen Qing's eyelids move and she woke up, he quickly lay beside her and asked worriedly, "Qingqing, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Qing wanted to laugh when he saw him like this, he rubbed his eyes and said: "What can happen to me?" He felt uncomfortable, yes, but this little soreness was nothing.
Song Kaiji lowered his head: "Last night, last night..." When he recalled what happened last night, he felt it was too much!
Shen Qing yawned, his whole body exuding a lazy attitude. He pinched Song Kaiji's chin casually, pretending to tease him: "I don't know if it was me who drank or you who drank? How can I still think it's a dream? But..." He raised his body a little and pecked Song Kaiji's lips: "It feels good, it's not impossible to do it once in a while."
Although there were a lot of tricks last night, if Shen Qing wanted to push Song Kaiji away, it was not impossible. Song Kaiji's arms and legs, although he was not bad at sports and even joined the baseball club, could not compare with Shen Qing, who was used to doing farm work and was very good at fighting.
Since he didn't push it away, it naturally meant that Shen Qing was willing.
Occasionally, the angle was not right and it hurt Shen Qing. He raised his hand and wanted to hit him a few times, but he knew that he was very strong and was afraid that he would lose control and hurt Song Kaiji, so he just let him do it.
Gradually, I began to appreciate some special meaning in this unusual affair.
Song Kaiji blushed. It was early in the morning, and he was a young man full of vigor. He was already very energetic, and Shen Qing kissed him!
This is seduction, this must be seduction!
He held Shen Qing's hand and reached into the quilt again: "Then... let's do it again, okay?"
The two of them fooled around in the bedroom for a while, and didn't come out until lunchtime. Mother Tang was a little surprised to see Shen Qing: "When did Boss Shen come back? Why didn't you tell me? I'll cook a few more dishes."
Tang's mother was in a good mood recently. Qi Zhan hadn't appeared in their villa for a long time, and Tang Wenjie didn't seem to be abnormal on the surface. In Tang's mother's eyes, it was naturally the male vixen who seduced her son who finally left, and Tang Wenjie turned over a new leaf. It's really a happy occasion!
Shen Qing glanced at the dishes on the table: "It's okay, I'll be leaving soon, just eat a bite." He had eaten greasy braised pork elbow and drank wine last night, and now he just wanted to eat something refreshing. There were smashed cucumbers and tomatoes with sugar on the table, which were Shen Qing's favorites.
Song Kaiji's face, which had been filled with a satisfied smile, dimmed, and he looked at Shen Qing aggrievedly: "Why are you leaving?"
"It's not over yet." Shen Qing took a few chopsticks to smash the cucumber. Some things were hard to say in front of Tang's mother and the others. After lunch, when they returned to the room alone, Shen Qing said, "The starch sausage shop over there opened for the first day yesterday. I should have been watching it today. I'm not here now, so I don't know how panicked they are... I also made an appointment with someone to look at the house tonight. After we free up the space, we'll go to other places to collect things."
After going to the small commodity wholesale market several times, Shen Qing became addicted. I heard that there are also crystal markets and jade markets here, some are far away and some are close. Shen Qing, who has tasted the sweetness, is very eager to go there.
Listening to Shen Qing's description of the world over there, Song Kaiji was happy for Shen Qing, but also felt disappointed. He leaned on Shen Qing's legs for a while before saying, "Oh...then why did you suddenly come last night?"
Thinking of this, Song Kaiji felt happy again, raised his head and asked, "Do you miss me a lot?"
Shen Qing touched his nose, and was embarrassed to say that he was frightened by Jie Miyun... He was so frightened that it was not enough to flee back to Lantang Village, but he had to flee to another world to feel at ease. However, he did miss Song Kaiji, so he nodded.
Song Kaiji was satisfied. He had adjusted his mentality and completely accepted that he could not go to Shen Qing's world and could not be with Shen Qing all the time. But Shen Qing would always think of him and tell him everything that happened over there. Through Shen Qing's description, Song Kaiji could feel that he was involved.
In the afternoon, Song Kaiji sent Shen Qing back home. The two were so close that they couldn't bear to part and could talk for a while on the way. Song Kaiji told him what had happened in the past few days, mainly the recruitment work and the decoration of the storefront that Yu Le was responsible for: "You have to come back in six days."
Shen Qing nodded. After six days, the shop in Anping County should be on the right track and there would be no need for him to keep an eye on it every day. It would be okay for him to come back and stay for a few days.
Similarly, he also told Song Kaiji what happened to him there. He concealed his knowledge of Miyun and his sister: if Song Kaiji knew about it, he would be very jealous. But even so, Song Kaiji still felt sour: "Hero saving the beauty? That guy also said it was you? He is not interested in you! QAQ"
There are too many dramas about heroes saving beauties. The next thing is that they have to repay each other with their bodies! Especially in ancient times, people had few opportunities to meet the opposite sex. How could they fall in love at first sight? Because they could not see other opposite sex at all, and when they finally saw a good one, they fell in love with it...
Even dreams can be deeply infatuated, let alone a thrilling redemption drama like a hero saving a beauty!
Shen Qing was frightened when he heard this topic. He rubbed his brows and said, "How could it happen? We are brothers. What can happen?"
Although he said this, Shen Qing was praying madly in his heart that this would not happen. He knew that he was a man and had no idea about other men, but other people didn't know? Especially after learning about Miyun's affairs, Shen Qing was more aware of the hidden dangers of pretending to be a man.
Song Kaiji didn't think so: "My Qingqing is so outstanding, even if she is a boy, it is normal for her to be liked by the same sex! When I fell in love with you, I didn't know you were a boy. I thought you were a man like me, but I still fell in love with you, didn't I?"
Shen Qing was suddenly stunned. It seemed that he just realized at this moment that he and Song Kaiji, in Song Kaiji's perspective, were people of the same gender. Just like a man with a man, a boy with a boy, a woman with a woman... It was actually like this!
But Shen Qing himself couldn't accept being with a man or a woman. This was really strange! He waved his hands again and again: "No, no, I have never heard of men being with men. It has never happened in our place!" This was too shocking. Shen Qing's chest was pounding, but he was thinking in his heart, why not?
Of course it's not because he likes Ge'er. But why can Song Kaiji like the same sex, and Tang Wenjie and Qi Zhan also have some things going on, but Ge'er can't be with Ge'er there?
Song Kaiji sent Shen Qing to the entrance of the cave. In his eyes, it was still a slightly concave mountain wall. Shen Qing passed through the wall like in the fairy tale drama and disappeared in front of him.
Song Kaiji gently stroked the mountain wall. If he had longed for the world over there before, a large part of it was because he wanted to live a peaceful and stable life without zombies, now he really wanted to be with Shen Qing at all times.
He wanted to be with Shen Qing, to go through everything Shen Qing had experienced, and to announce to everyone in that world: Shen Qing is his partner! What's his is his!
Shen Qing is so good, he wants to cut off all covetous eyes.
Shen Qing was thinking about whether he could go down the mountain with his brother. Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw Zhao Youdang wandering around his home. Although he was apparently looking at the workshop, he would look at his home from time to time.
Shen Qing didn't want him to know that he had just come down from the mountain, so he took a detour and appeared from behind Zhao Youdang: "Uncle Youdang, what's the matter?"
Zhao Youdang was shocked. He had been wandering around Shen Qing's house for a long time. Miao said Shen Qing had returned to the village. The mule was tied at home, but he was nowhere to be found. He was a man and Miao was a single woman, so it was not convenient for him to go into the house and sit down. He could only wander around.
"There is something. It's about the school you mentioned before." Zhao Youdang didn't know how to start the conversation, but he felt that he had to talk about it, so he forced out a fake smile with a guilty conscience.
This is a serious matter. Shen Qingyuan was planning to ride his mule back to the city, but now he had to put it aside for the time being. "How about Uncle Dang come in and sit for a while?"
"How can I enter the house, kid? Isn't that nonsense?" Zhao Youdang took two steps back. How big of a deal is Shen Qing's return? He is a single man, and Miao is a single woman. Any decent man in the village would not enter someone's house. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he should not often pass by someone's door. If he goes in, people will poke his back!
Shen Qing only remembered this after a while. He suddenly realized that he had been sensitive and vague about gender recently. He was alone with the man with the gold teeth in the restaurant last night. If it were any other guy, his life would be over if he went out drinking with the man with the gold teeth late at night. Now when he saw Zhao Youdang, he would forget to avoid suspicion.
But he always remembers that there are many injustices in this world. Shen Qing doesn't know what's wrong with him, and what kind of balance he wants to find.
"Then...then let's go sit in the workshop." Shen Qing walked into the workshop first. Most of the people coming and going in the workshop were women and their husbands, and there were also two men working on the sweet potato flour they had ground in the yard.
There is a back house in the front, which is where Miao Yu usually lives. Since the workshop opened, Shen Qing called Miao Yu over to watch the door and patrol and guard with the young men in the village, and also to balance the interpersonal relationships in the workshop. He also lives here at night, just in time to keep watch.
Miao Yu was not here at the moment, as he was out on patrol. Shen Qing pulled a bench and sat down, then asked Zhao Youdang, "I have explained everything to Aunt Guixiang, what does Uncle Youdang think of this?"
Zhao Youdang had been able to speak clearly in front of Wu Guixiang, but now he was a little embarrassed to speak to Shen Qing. He stammered for a long time before he said what he meant: "...If you force them to let their daughters and sons go to school, a good thing will turn into a bad thing. Some people will not only be ungrateful, but will also hate you, thinking that you are meddling in other people's family affairs!"
Shen Qing almost laughed out of anger when listening to what he said! But after being angry, he felt that what Zhao Youdang said was not without "reason". There are many people in this village who are unreasonable and even refuse to listen to reason. If everyone is a good person and understands the situation, there will be no disputes in this world. Isn't the simplest example of gratitude for a good deed and hatred for a good deed?
If everyone is reasonable, no matter how much rice is given, no one will take revenge! But the majority of people in the village are unreasonable!
Shen Qing pondered for a long time.
Zhao Youdang encouraged him: "If you ask me, Shiqu Village has done a good job. We should learn from them and not change. With the example of Shiqu Village, people will be more receptive."
Zhao Youdang had his own little thoughts, and Shen Qing could see it. After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh: "Then I won't run this school anymore."
Zhao Youdang widened his eyes: "Qing brother, you, you..." He suddenly understood at this moment that Shen Qing's purpose was to support women and brothers. The men, especially many who had a bad relationship with Shen Qing, were just extras in this matter!
Now that boys and girls can't learn, these extras can't be learned either. Zhao Youdang opened his mouth several times. He wanted to say, how could this be? Isn't running a school for the good of the whole village? But he didn't know what to say. He was the village chief, not Shen Qing. Why should Shen Qing worry about the development of the village?
The starch sausage workshop gave Zhao Youdang the illusion that Qing Ge'er was really concerned about the development of the village. But if you think about it carefully, he opened this workshop to make money for the nobleman. Since the nobleman made money, Qing Ge'er would naturally be respectable. Helping the villagers was just a side job. Especially the people in the workshop, most of them were kind-hearted women and husbands who had helped Shen Qing and gave him a cucumber and half a persimmon when he was a child.
Even using people from their own family is probably not because their family has a village chief, but because Wu Guixiang and Shen Qing have a personal relationship.
How could this happen? Zhao Youdang regretted it so much. If he had known, he would not have come to Qing Ge'er to talk so much! His own grandson wanted to go to school, but now he said he would not do it...
His expression changed several times, which was very interesting. Shen Qing saw it and laughed in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface. "That's it, I'll think about it again. If it can't be done, forget it. It's a good opportunity to save some money. I have something to do in the county town. The shop just opened and asked me to keep an eye on it. Uncle, I'll leave first."
Qing Ge'er's words made Zhao Youdang feel bitter. This really hit the nail on the head. No one's money came from the wind. Why should Qing Ge'er pay for others to study for free? Anyway, his family was reluctant to spend so much money! Qing Ge'er's words blocked all his thoughts, but he had no choice but to watch Shen Qing leave.
However, Shen Qing did not really not intend to open a school. Zhao Youdang also reminded him, and now he realized that it was much better than having the school built and the teacher invited and then exploding.
His workshop has been running too smoothly recently, and he thought too well of the villagers. Shen Qing took a breath. He didn't need that little money. He originally wanted to do good deeds for the village, so he asked the village chief to allocate a piece of land to him, which would be considered public property of the village, just like the vermicelli workshop in the village.
But once it is public property, many issues arise, including fairness, village rules, and those outdated, corrupt and discriminatory statements.
Shen Qing was unwilling to comply.
Then it should not become public property, it should just be his, he can do whatever he wants with it, everything is up to his heart.
He spent money to buy land and hired people to build houses. He was going to hold a selection contest. Those who were selected could work in the workshop, and those who passed the exam well could become managers. Before the exam, a teacher would come to teach them.
There is no benefit to the village, and it is only for selecting capable workers for the workshop.
When a carrot falls in front of them, even the most biased family that values boys over girls and boys will have to consider the possibility that their boy will fail the exam and the whole team will be wiped out. One more person means one more chance, one more possibility...
Shen Qing ignored Zhao Youdang's shocked expression and went straight back to his home. He said hello to Miao and rode his mule back to Anping County.
Today's business is even better than yesterday.
Many people didn't hear about it yesterday, or they came too late to buy it. After a night of fermentation, most people in the county knew that a new snack shop had opened in the north of the city, and the aroma of fried meat could be smelled across the street.
Therefore, many people came here early in the morning. In addition, those who didn't eat enough yesterday also lined up early this morning.
When Shen Qing arrived, there was still a line three or four meters long at the door. Mudan was frying a handful of skewers, but the person standing next to her was not Feicui, but Ruyi, who was sprinkling seasonings skillfully.
Shen Qing had not asked Ruyi's name yet, he only remembered that she was the maid beside Jie Miyun.
"What's going on? Why did she come out?" Shen Qing asked the shopkeeper Xiao Miao who was busy collecting money.
Shopkeeper Xiao Miao glanced at Ruyi. Perhaps because he had been standing near the hot oil pan, the heat made his face red. "Today there are more people than yesterday. We are too busy and not enough staff. At the beginning of today, Mudan and Feicui took turns to cook, and Haitang and Majue assisted. As a result, Haitang burned her hand at noon... Miss Ruyi said that when she was in the Tongpan Mansion, she also cooked for the old lady. She is quite good at cooking and learns quickly, so she can come to help."
Shen Qingren was not there, so there was no one to make the decision and they were too busy to handle it, so they asked her to come out and help.
Shen Qing nodded, and asked about Haitang's injury. He found out it was not serious. He wanted to go to the back house to rest for a while, but he hesitated. After a while, he said, "I didn't eat much at noon. Let's go next door and have a bowl of sugar water."
Ruyi was concentrating on spreading the seasoning, but secretly she was concerned about Shen Qing's every move. She knew that Jie Miyun went to Shen Qing's room last night, and this was a decision made after the four of them discussed it. Who would have thought that Shen Qing actually ran away overnight, leaving Jie Miyun crying.
Now this young master doesn't even want to go home because of this matter. Ruyi felt a little irritated, and she didn't know what the young master did last night to offend this young master like this?
Shen Qing was also worried. He didn't know how to tell Jie Miyun that he didn't need her to serve him! Jie Miyun was the beautiful concubine given to him by the Jin Ya people. Maybe in Jie Miyun's mind, serving him was natural? Would it work if he talked nicely?
He is obviously a brother...but he can't tell Jie Miyun that he is a brother. What a trouble!
Shen Qing drank a bowl of autumn pear, wolfberry and white fungus soup next door. This soup uses a local brown pear, which is peeled and hollowed out, still retaining the shape of the pear. Then pour the boiled white fungus and wolfberry into the pear, and steam it for half an hour until the flavor of the pear is completely absorbed into the soup.
After drinking the sugar water, you can eat the pears outside, but the sweetness will be much weaker.
Shen Qing was in a depressed mood, and he ate his food slowly, one spoonful at a time, with an unexpectedly elegant posture. He didn't notice that a few young ladies who also came to drink the sugar water, and a young man who came out of Cuihua's shop and passed by the shop, all glanced at him several times intentionally or unintentionally.
Shen Qing had never really thought about how popular this handsome and wealthy young man was. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the Pan An of Anping County. Many young ladies and young men were very fond of him. If they didn't say they were attracted to him, they would be happy to take a few more glances at him if they met him on the street.
And the young man from the county magistrate's family whom he rescued last night said "it's you", and there was naturally a reason for that.
