Chapter 211 A fickle person
Two days later,
the sun was still shining, and there was no more rain like a few days ago. But the ground was wet, and it was cold in early spring, so a thin layer of ice formed.
To avoid slipping, Wei Shouzhong used an iron hoe to shovel the ground early in the morning, and then he started to make a rocking chair.
The wood was picked early in the morning, and he also brought it back from outside, and he worked all morning without stopping.
Yu Tingwan ate while watching with a bowl in her hand.
The girl slept very well last night.
If she sleeps well, she will be more energetic.
"Dad."
Yu Tingwan stepped forward.
"Can you make me another box when you have time?"
Wei Zhao had previously emptied the private vaults of corrupt officials and would throw jewelry to her from time to time. Now he throws her some iron ore every now and then, and it's already... too much space.
There was no reason for Wei Shouzhong not to respond, and he didn't ask her what she wanted the box for, and said it with a smile.
"Yu Tingwan!"
Liu Yan's voice came from outside again.
Yu Tingwan walked out with the bowl in his hand, wondering, "It seems... I've been here a little more often recently."
Liu Yan was unhappy when she heard that.
"How many times have I come? I had something to do at the shop yesterday, so I didn't come to your sight. I came to look for you the other day, but there were so many people at your house, and I left in a hurry without saying anything."
Yu Tingwan drank the porridge seriously.
"You said something."
"Ah?"
"You said there was a handsome man ."
Liu Yan perked up, stood up straight, and finally beamed with joy.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"That's why I came here."
Liu Yan revealed, "I went to the bookstore the other day to buy some picture books for my nephew to read, and I ran into that person."
"Among a group of students, I picked him out at first sight."
It can be seen that he is outstanding.
"I see that he is a bit arrogant in his words and deeds. But scholars can understand."
Liu Yan: "No man in this world is perfect. They all have some flaws."
"I'm not a very good person either. I'm two years older than you, and I'm already twenty. If I'm still not married at this age, I'll be an old maid in other people's eyes."
But if they can't get along, she won't let herself down.
You can copy books in a bookstore, and many students will take jobs to supplement their family income.
Liu Yan looked regretful.
"Afterwards, I asked the bookstore owner, and the owner only said that I was a stranger and only knew that my surname was Lu."
Very good, not Zhao.
However, Yu Tingwan couldn't understand.
"Since you've already met him, why don't you ask him in person, but turn around and look for the owner in a long circle?"
Isn't that a waste of time?
"Isn't this the reserved and reserved way for a girl?"
"But you are a wild guy."
Sooner or later, it will be exposed.
Liu Yan had her own reasoning: "You don't understand. If I just run up to him and say I like him, I will scare him away."
Yu Tingwan felt that she understood very well.
She had recommended herself in the beginning.
Liu Yan: "Are you free today?"
"No."
"No. You didn't even ask what I was going to do, and you said you were free?"
Yu Tingwan said slowly: "Seeing your eyes moving so fast, it must be a bad thing."
"Why not?"
Liu Yan: "Accompany me to wait outside the academy to see if we are a good match. If you think it's okay, I will check the details. If my marriage is successful one day, you will be a meritorious official."
Yu Tingwan's eyelids jumped, grasping the point, and he didn't even drink the porridge: "You are going to the academy?"
"Yes."
"I see that he is wearing the student uniform of the county academy. If you wait for a while, you will see him."
Liu Yan looked around, and there was no one around.
"I've thought about it."
"I'll pretend to pass by and drop my purse in front of him. A scholar who is honest will definitely pick it up and chase me back to me."
"After a few times, we can start a conversation."
Yu Tingwan: ...
sounds unreliable.
"How about it? The academy is not far away. If you don't want to walk, I'll go and call a carriage." Hui Niang,
who came out to look for Yu Tingwan, heard this.
"Daughter of the Liu family, are you going to the academy?"
Liu Yan: "Yes, to find someone."
"Then you might as well go in the evening, when they get out of school. My mother and I are also going to pick up my nephew, so why not go together."
Yu Tingwan felt his eyes go dark.
It's over.
The afterglow of the sunset parted the clouds, dyed half of the sky red, and the outline of the setting sun was torn out on the horizon.
The academy is quiet, away from the bustling area.
Today, the students are going home, and there are many people waiting outside to pick them up. Even though there are many people, no one is making loud noises.
This is the first time Yu Tingwan has come here.
She looked around and felt that it was very imposing.
There are two stone lions standing outside the academy, and the door plaque is hung high. The words on it are both strong and soft, vigorous and majestic.
No wonder many students are trying their best to go to the county to study.
Liu Yan whispered: "Why didn't you say anything along the way?"
Yu Tingwan: "Didn't you see?"
"I'm afraid you like my cousin."
She was too direct.
Liu Yan frowned: "Am I crazy or are you crazy?"
"I like him, am I still the kind of person who changes his mind when I see someone else?"
Yu Tingwan said without hesitation: "Yes."
Liu Yan: ? ? ?
"No matter how good your cousin is, it can't be a good marriage with a cousin like you."
Yu Tingwan didn't argue with her.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Liu Yan felt uncomfortable and moved closer: "Did it hurt you?"
Yu Tingwan: "You?"
"I just thought it over now. My cousin is not a disgrace."
The girl smiled.
"If he doesn't want to, you can't do anything to him with me here."
Hui Niang didn't know what the two were whispering about, but when she saw Wan Niang smiling at the Liu family's daughter, she knew that they got along well.
Suddenly, the crowd began to commotion.
"They are coming out, they are coming out."
Yu Tingwan looked carefully and saw that all the students in the same cross-collared long gowns came out in groups.
"Wulang, here!"
Someone waved beside him.
Soon, one of the students came quickly, and the surprise in his eyes could not be hidden.
"Dad."
"Let's go home. Your mother cooked meat today to nourish you."
Seeing the father and son leave, Hui Niang stood on tiptoe and looked around: "Wan Niang, can you help me see if Ah Yu has come out? I didn't tell him that I would come to pick him up. Don't let this child leave without seeing it."
Yu Tingwan comforted: "Don't worry, mother, I'm watching."
Seeing groups of students coming out and leaving, the streets were less crowded, and the college became deserted.
"I saw it!"
This was what Liu Yan shouted.
She pointed her finger: "How is it?"
Yu Tingwan looked over.
Thin.
Unrecognizable.
Yu Tingwan didn't think he was very good.
Liu Yan didn't expect to hear good words from her, and turned around to ask Hui Niang.
Then... her eyes paused.
She followed the student Lu in her picture and looked back.
The man was holding a book in his hand and lowering his head to read. When he crossed the threshold, he and the student Lu in front of him bowed and said goodbye.
He bowed very seriously. On the other hand, Student Lu was very perfunctory, even had a condescending attitude.
He was an exceptionally handsome scholar.
He was also extremely shy, and when he smiled, he looked like an ignorant little deer.
It was over.
Liu Yan... no longer had Student Lu in her eyes.
She seemed to be the kind of person that Yu Tingwan mentioned
who was fickle. She felt that she was quite shameless.
But when Liu Yan looked at that face, her face turned red, her heart beat fast, and her mind was distracted. This was a feeling she had never had before.
"I, I, I..."
Reason would disappear.
She felt that the person in front of her was perfect!
Liu Yan didn't care about anything else, she straightened her collar, and walked over delicately and artificially.
Zhao Yu also saw Hui Niang and Yu Tingwan at this time, his eyes lit up, and he walked down the stairs quickly.
Closer, closer.
Liu Yan calculated the distance.
When she passed by Zhao Yu, she threw the purse on her sleeve down.
It was right under Zhao Yu's feet.
Zhao Yu lowered his head and looked at the back of Liu Yan who was walking past.
The clothes Liu Yan wore today were very similar to those of the youngest daughter of the village head who kidnapped him.
Zhao Yu did not hesitate to pretend that he did not see it.
Liu Yan: ? ? ?
"Wait."
She smiled softly.
"My purse fell, sir, won't you help me pick it up?"
Zhao Yu's body froze, and he walked quickly as if he had seen a ghost, almost running.
