Naturally Precious

Although it was still early when I went out, when I arrived at the school, it was almost time for class. Not to mention the students, even the teacher was standing at the door, squinting to see which little bastard would give him be late.

Ever since Qi Pei went to study in Changzhou Mansion, Master has been in a bad mood. Although he did not punish students physically, it is inevitable to lose his temper in class.It's not easy to find a good student in a small frontier town, even though he went out for the sake of Qi Pei's good, maybe he could really be ranked among the best of the best, but he was always uncomfortable if the good seed slipped to other people.

What's more, the remaining one of the heads couldn't be pulled up.

He glanced sharply at the gate of the school. When he saw Shen Ruiqing, the corner of the master's lips couldn't help but sneer, but when he caught a glimpse of Shen Xuan beside him, he opened his eyes suddenly, showing a rare expression of surprise. .

He didn't stand at the door as an evil spirit anymore, instead he hastily went up to meet him.Just when they were about to meet each other, they paused again, swallowed the "Shen Xuan" in their throats, and called out "Master Shen" instead.

"Teacher is crazy!" Shen Xuan smiled slightly, and hurriedly hugged him, "It's better to call the students by their names, this 'Elder Young Master' is absolutely unacceptable."

His expression was very sincere, and there was no trace of politeness.

"Okay, okay..." The beards at the corners of his mouth raised quite a bit, the words were in the heart of his heart, and all the suffocation was cleared away, the master naturally felt at ease, and Shen gave his student from more than ten years ago to him. Helped him up, "Why do you have time to come to the school today? I'm afraid there are many things in the Shen family business."

"It's rare for me to rest, and I haven't seen my master for a long time, so I simply accompanied Ruiqing to study together." He stroked Bao'er's head twice while talking, "I have to trouble the master for a long time today. teach a student."

"What's the trouble here!" He immediately blew his beard, pulled Shen Xuan's sleeves and was about to walk into the classroom, "It's really good that you can come today...so that these little bastards can see what's going on That kind of person is a student. If you hadn’t gone to be the head of the family back then, I’m afraid you would have obtained the honor and become an official by now! The current students are stupid and can’t understand at all..."

He disliked his students so much in both words and deeds that Shen Ruiqing was dripping with sweat, hiding behind Shen Xuan and refusing to come out, for fear of being scolded and scolded in front of his elder brother.But the Master still saw him and smiled instead.

"However, Ruiqing is still a good boy... Although he has a slight disadvantage in the theory of tactics, he is also a rare obedient student who is willing to work hard. Looking at his words, I know that you must have taught them one by one... ...If the front is sharper, I'm afraid they won't be able to tell the difference at all!" He laughed again, brought people to the first row in front of the desk, and patted the table for people to sit down.

This happens to be where Bao'er usually attends class, and there is nothing beside it.Shen Xuangong thanked her, then put down her bag, and sat down with Bao'er.

When the students in the classroom saw Shen Ruiqing's elder brother also attending the class, they all widened their eyes and gathered together to talk in low voices.However, before they could exchange anything, the master slapped the ruler on the table.

"Look at your appearance? How decent are you all?!" He snorted, glanced around sharply, forced every student to hang their heads, and then took it back, "Complete "Yong" and Open the "Analects of Confucius" and let me see your homework."

This has always been his request, and Shen Ruiqing quickly opened her two textbooks, revealing the detailed and beautiful preview notes on them.Shen Xuan also took a look, curled her lips in satisfaction, and gently touched his palm under the table.Xu Shi felt comfortable, but Bao'er didn't hide, but sent her palm over.He glanced at his eldest brother lightly, but he immediately turned around to look at the book with his head down, concerned about the majesty of his master.

However, students who are serious and down-to-earth like Bao'er are a minority after all. They have just started class, and half of the students who are lazy have already slipped away and were punished to stand behind, which is very miserable.It would be fine if he was punished to stand in front of his classmates, but today Big Brother Shen Baoer also came, and everyone was a little trembling, for fear that he would casually mention it when he saw his parents.

Shen Ruiqing didn't want to be punished to stand in front of her elder brother all morning, so although the left was still with the other party, the right on the table was very honest, holding Mao in mind all the time.The master was satisfied with him, and also satisfied with his favorite student many years ago, so he asked the two to answer a few questions each, and praised him in front of all the students.

"If you are half as intelligent and practical as the Shen brothers, each of you will be able to be admitted as a scholar! Look at the diaries written by others! Look at your own! You only study for half a day every day, and you will spend one afternoon when you go back. You can’t even do these things at night, and you still want to take the exam to become an official? Dream quickly!” As soon as he scolded, his beard trembled with the sound of his words, and he was quite excited, so he didn’t even read the book , simply scolded a class.

After all, she wasn't scolding Bao'er, and Shen Xuan still thought it was very interesting, with a smile on her face all the time.He gently scratched Bao'er's palm, the little guy froze as expected, and turned to look at him foolishly.

"Master, it really hasn't changed at all." The man spoke to him in a low voice.

"Eh?" Shen Ruiqing was taken aback for a moment, and after glancing at the wife who was cursing behind her, she leaned over slightly, "Did you lose your temper so easily back then?"

"What's more." Shen Xuan didn't feel guilty at all when he said bad things about the teacher, instead he smiled again, "But you can't scold me anyway, so it doesn't matter..."

"I know you're amazing..." Bao'er puffed up her cheeks, and pinched the opponent's palm angrily.He still wanted to whisper a few words with his eldest brother, but the master had already finished cursing and went back to the podium to get a book for class.He had no choice but to give up resentfully, and obediently picked up the book and read it.

Perhaps because of Shen Xuan's company, the whole morning's class went by extraordinarily quickly, and even Wu's textbooks suddenly became much cuter.While Shen Ruiqing was listening to the class seriously, she was doing little tricks with Shen Xuan under the table, and it was time for get out of class to end.When it was one o'clock, the teacher had just put down the books, and the group of students dispersed like birds and beasts, for fear that if they were too late, they would be caught by the teacher and taught alone.

Shen Ruiqing was not in a hurry, and after completing the last few words, she put away the ink and put it in the small bag.

He still had to visit the great monk in the afternoon, so he thought about going back for dinner earlier.However, the master came over at this time, changed from the previous sternness, instead smiled, and chatted with Shen Xuan about the previous lessons.

"About the sentence 'a gentleman is not a weapon'... When I was giving a lecture just now, you seem to have something else to say. Is it because I was lacking earlier?"

Facing his students more than ten years ago, he did not put on airs of a teacher, but asked him for advice in a very humble manner.Naturally, Shen Xuan couldn't offend the teacher, so she quickly stood up, arched her head again, and then began to explain——

"That's not true. What the teacher said is also accurate, but the students have read some things by themselves and have a little bit of their own opinions..."

He pursed his lips and smiled, and really started talking with his master. You come and go, and the Tao follows each other. It is really the best atmosphere for discussing the Tao.But Shen Ruiqing couldn't understand what they were talking about at all, she just thought it was a fight between gods and mortals suffered, and she couldn't show the slightest bit of unhappiness, so she could only look at them obediently, and sat on the spot holding her small bag.

Because he was in a hurry to go out with Shen Xuan, he didn't eat much for breakfast. At noon, his stomach was already empty, and his mind was full of thoughts about the lunch at the mansion. Meatballs, big row, and steamed chicken in lotus leaves were on his head. I don't know how many times I circled back and forth.But this kind of thing has always been more and more hungry, and the stomach growled uncontrollably.

Shen Xuan suppressed a smile, squeezed his palm lightly, and finally said goodbye to his master.

"The students have to take Ruiqing to visit Abbot Huixin in the temple in the afternoon, so we won't waste the teacher's time. It's getting late now, and the teacher's wife may have been waiting at home for a long time, so I better go back quickly..." He arched again, "The student will leave today."

The master also heard the sound coming from Cai Baoer's stomach just now, so there was no answer at this time, he smiled and agreed while pinching his beard, and also called Shen Xuan to come back next time.The two exchanged a few more simple greetings, and Shen Ruiqing was finally able to carry the small bag.All he could think about was going to find the great monk in the afternoon, and he was in a hurry on the way, for fear that he would be late.

How could Shen Xuan not follow him.

The mansion had already prepared the meals, and they were served on the table as soon as the two young masters arrived, and they were still hot, which was just the right time.Bao'er quickly ate her lunch, and then ran to the bedroom to pack up the things she was going to bring in the afternoon.Since the eldest brother gave each other things during the coronation ceremony, every time he went to the temple to worship, he would remember to bring some gifts to the elder monk.Although none of them were expensive, they were carefully selected by him one by one.The scattered small gifts were placed together, and he finally felt that it was almost done, so he began to work hard to wrap the cloth.

However, in Shen Xuan's eyes, these small gifts would not be able to make it to the table, so every time he would prepare some larger ones and send them along.What I plan to bring with me today is a golden cassock I bought from Hangzhou when I went out for business last time.

"Aren't you in a hurry to go? The carriage is already ready, let's go quickly. Otherwise, it will be dark when we arrive." He smiled helplessly, and really couldn't stand Bao'er's clumsy Looking around, he simply took the small package over and tied it skillfully, "That's all? Think about what else to bring with you to eat and drink, and you still have a lot of time on the road."

"I have already asked them to bring it for me, and I will never be hungry on the way." How could Shen Ruiqing forget this, and immediately nodded to show that she knew, "If we arrive late, we can also stay in the temple One night, the great monk will definitely not drive us away..."

"Then dinner will be vegetarian." Shen Xuan laughed at him.

"Su Zhai is also delicious." He was greedy again, and couldn't help licking his lips, "I don't know how the cooks in the temple cook it. Tofu can be cooked to taste like meat..."

"And... I have a box of meat moon cakes, even if you really want to eat meat, you can take it out secretly—" He knew it was wrong, but he still whispered, "But you have to hide, If it is discovered that we are eating meat, we will be driven away."

His sly appearance made the man chuckle, and he nodded between his brows, and said half teasingly, "Bad Baoer, if Abbot Huixin finds out about it, he will probably never know." You are allowed to burn incense in the temple again."

"I'm just kidding..." Shen Ruiqing rubbed her forehead that was hurt by the beating, "How could I really eat it? I took it with me on the way. What if I come back late at night and can't catch up with the dinner at the house, then I have to use some things in the car... Ruiqing brought this because I am hungry for nothing else."

As he spoke, he carried a small bag and walked out with Shen Xuan.The carriage was already waiting at the door, and the servant who drove the carriage saw the master, immediately put the footstool away, and opened the door of the compartment at the side.
