Chapter 393 She and He
Until one day, when she was drying her brother's books, she accidentally wet one of his books.
She was afraid of being beaten, so she could only take the book and try to buy a new one.
But she didn't expect that the book was so expensive.
The little money she had couldn't buy such a book at all.
She didn't dare to go home with the book in her hand, and could only cry softly.
People coming and going were looking at her, and even some obscene people came to chat with her. She became more and more afraid and didn't even refuse.
Yu Wenshu suddenly appeared and helped her drive those people away.
Yu Wenshu took the book from her hand and looked at it slowly. When he saw the torn part of the book, he tore a piece of paper from his own book, repaired the book bit by bit, and filled in the blurred words.
His movements were extremely meticulous, and in just a short while he had fixed the book to the same level as before.
She looked at Yu Wenshu in amazement.
"How come you are so good?"
"My younger brother is playful and often tears my books, so I can only try to fix them myself, and after a while I have acquired this skill."
"I love books, and when I saw that the book was damaged, I took the initiative to fix it without asking for your opinion, which was really rude."
"I hope you will forgive me."
It was the first time that Pan Niang had seen such a literary man.
Although her younger brother was also educated, he did not have the gentle temperament of the man in front of her.
Compared with him, her younger brother was like a gangster who had never been to school.
She waved her hands hastily: "It's okay, it's okay."
"I still want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to explain to my family today."
She could hardly say anything else except thank you, and could only lower her head woodenly.
She was obviously full of gratitude, but she could only say a few simple words.
"By the way, I saw you crying just now, but did you encounter any troubles?"
She waved her hands: "No, no."
"I just cried because I broke the book."
"Now it's healed, I won't cry anymore."
She felt around her body, took out all the copper coins, and stuffed them in front of Yu Wenshu.
"Thank you, sir."
Although it was all the money, it was actually very shabby, only three or five copper coins.
Even these three or five copper plates were what she had saved for a long time before she could show them. "You
are welcome, young lady." Yu Wenshu was about to return the copper plates when a woman came over with a fierce look and grabbed the ear of the young lady in front of her.
"You are such a jerk. You ran out when I didn't see you. Do you know how much work is waiting for you at home?"
"You are so good. You ran out to seduce men!"
The woman looked at Yu Wenshu unceremoniously.
"A poor scholar dares to covet my daughter."
"Don't you look at your own status?"
Hui Niang's body froze. She felt that her dignity was being trampled under someone's feet at this moment, making her a laughing stock in front of Yu Wenshu.
Scholars are very concerned about their reputation and are very proud. If something like this happens, they will definitely feel unlucky and will not want to care about her anymore.
She lowered her head in frustration.
But she heard the scholar say, "Auntie, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. I am a student of Wandu Academy. This girl came to say that her younger brother likes Wandu Academy very much and hopes that I can recommend him. She also wants to buy my manuscripts."
"I am the best student of Wandu Academy. How can my manuscripts be bought with just a few coins?"
"But considering the sincerity of this girl, it's not impossible."
Gan Huaizhong took out a piece of paper from his bookcase.
"This is the homework assigned by the teacher yesterday. If your brother can answer it, he may have a chance to enter Wandu Academy."
The woman's eyes lit up when she heard the words "Wandu Academy".
"So the young master is from Wandu Academy, no wonder he is so impressive."
She stretched out her finger and poked Pan Niang's head fiercely.
"What is your mouth for? You don't even know how to introduce the identity of this young master."
You should know that Wandu Academy is the most famous academy in the area.
Every year, there are students in Wandu Academy.
As long as you can enter the academy to study, at least you can become a scholar.
She has always wanted to send her son to Wandu Academy, but she has never had any chance.
Her daughter looks dull on weekdays, but she didn't expect that she has such a good eye.
She also knows to care about her brother's studies!
If her son could really enter Wandu Academy, this little girl wouldn't have to work for a day, or even a month.
She took the paper from Yu Wenshu and said to him with a smile, "Thank you, sir."
When Pan Niang left, she couldn't help but glance at Yu Wenshu.
The tall and straight young man was tidying up his bookcase with his eyes downcast, and he didn't seem to care about what had just happened.
Since then, the figure of the young man has been lingering in her heart.
She often thought of the young man's appearance at that time, and couldn't sleep at night.
Because of the young man's rescue, she was not scolded for the first time, but was praised by her family.
One day, when her family was not paying attention, she secretly made some more snacks and waited at the door of the academy, waiting for Yu Wenshu.
When the students finished school, they walked out happily one by one, and only Yu Wenshu walked slowly with her friends.
She was too shy to go forward.
But if she didn't go forward, the cakes would not be delivered.
She was so anxious that she wanted to cry, but she couldn't open her mouth.
She couldn't open her mouth until everyone left.
Tears fell down.
A shadow fell on her, and a clean handkerchief appeared in front of her.
"Why are you crying here alone again?"
"Did you break the book again?"
She raised her head slowly, and the tears on her eyelashes made it difficult for her to see the figure of the person in front of her.
She just listened to the other person's tone and voice, and stared at him blankly.
The other person couldn't help laughing, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears carefully.
"Don't cry, your eyes will be swollen if you cry again."
"Take out the book, I will fix it for you."
The person in front of her gradually became clearer.
She shook her head helplessly: "No."
"It's not broken."
"I came to bring you some snacks."
"There were so many people just now that I couldn't open my mouth, so I cried in a hurry."
She was very embarrassed, and tremblingly finished her words, stuffed the basket into Yu Wenshu's arms and was about to run.
Yu Wenshu had no choice but to grab her collar.
"Basket--"
"You lost the basket, be careful of being scolded."
Yu Wenshu wrapped the snacks with a handkerchief and stuffed the basket back into her hand.
"Go back quickly, you will be scolded again if you go back late."
Pan Niang stared at him blankly.
The handkerchief had just been used to wipe her tears and was already wet, and now it was used to wrap snacks.
Is this snack still edible?
