Indiscriminate

Besides, there is no difference between home and usual, and the rainy weather is over.

The sky above the Mingtang gradually turned blue, as if it was going to rain, but also seemed to be sunny.After Shi Shilei washed the clothes, after thinking about it for a long time, he still hung the clothes out.After all, this is the Mingtang that is the last to enter, even if the guests come, they will not see it.

He took the basin, and when he was about to go back to the house, he suddenly raised his head and saw a drop of rainwater falling on his forehead.After being speechless for a moment, Shi Shilei still had to take the clothes that had been dried back to the eaves and hang them up.

He came out of the bathroom, and heard voices coming from the other end of the long alley.Shi Shilei thought for a while, and happened to see Fu Qinruo coming out from the front and walking out along the long lane, so he quickly followed.

"I'm afraid this gate was left by the Qing Dynasty at the latest, right? It's well preserved. It's really a great effort." The man who walked into the incense hall first looked around at what he saw, and praised the people around him. road.

Seeing that both of them were handsome, Shi Shilei felt a little relieved.He saw that the gentleman who was accompanying him looked a little like Fu Qinruo, and his skin was very fair, so he guessed that this should be Fu Yinqing.

He responded to his friend's compliment with an apologetic smile, and when he saw Fu Qinruo walking over, he immediately introduced happily: "Hey, Qinruo! This is Mr. Zhou Mingtai Zhou. Mingtai, this is my nephew, Fu Qinruo."

Zhou Mingtai probably didn't expect Fu Qinruo to be so young, so he was stunned for a moment when he met him, and said with a smile, "I have admired you for a long time. I really can't see that "Sun Tzu's Art of War" came from your subordinates."

"Don't dare to take it." Fu Qinruo shook hands with him and naturally avoided looking at him.

"Yin Qing told me about your age, but I guess you probably have to be young and mature, otherwise you wouldn't be able to write such stable and pale characters, but now it seems... the concept that characters are like people, I want to change It has been changed." After Zhou Mingtai finished speaking, Chao Fu Yinqing laughed.

Fu Yinqing patted his nephew on the shoulder, but said bluntly: "He looks a bit out of the world, but he has a little old man in his heart. But he should not be underestimated."

Shi Shilei has been standing in the distance watching, and does not intend to approach.He had a little impression of Zhou Mingtai, who was also a collector, but if Fu Qinruo hadn't mentioned it before, Shi Shilei would never have thought that he would be the one who fell in love with Fu Qinruo's calligraphy and paintings.

He originally thought that with such a large gate, even if a guest came, he would pretend that he didn't know about it, and it didn't matter if he didn't say hello.Unexpectedly, when Fu Yinqing and Fu Qinruo were talking, they caught a glimpse of Shi Shilei who was separated by a long distance from the corner of their eyes. When their eyes met, Shi Shilei didn't know whether he should leave or not.

"Qin Ruo, is that your friend?" Fu Yinqing raised his voice intentionally.

Shi Shilei's scalp was numb, and when he saw Fu Qinruo turning his head, he had no choice but to walk over bravely and greeted with a smile: "Hello, Uncle."

"This is..." Zhou Mingtai asked curiously.

Seeing his uncle looking at him, Fu Qinruo introduced, "This is my friend who is studying in Hangzhou. He came here to play during the summer vacation."

"Is it Shi Shilei?" Fu Yinqing asked Shi Shilei with a smile.

He smiled unnaturally, nodded, and greeted Zhou Mingtai again: "Hello, Uncle."

"His handwriting is also quite good. You can see it later when we write together!" Fu Yinqing said to his friend with a smile. He was very interested in seeing him, and said, "I haven't seen anything else. , but this cursive, not to mention his age, even if he is older, it is rare to have someone who can write better than him!"

Hearing Fu Yinqing's unsparing praise, Shi Shilei couldn't help being surprised and delighted.Sure enough, after Zhou Mingtai heard about it, he looked at him more solemnly, and said expectantly, "Then I'll have to see and see!"

Shi Shilei's face was a little hot, and he wanted to say something modest, when he suddenly heard Zhou Mingtai say to Fu Yinqing: "By the way, hasn't Zhongming been studying cursive and wild cursive in the past few years? Coincidentally, at night, I can still talk to these two Discuss with two young people."

"Yes!" Fu Yinqing nodded in agreement, and said with a smile, "Invite my uncle, and the three generations of old, middle-aged and young people should also be arty. You are in charge of Fengya, and I will do it!"

Ever since hearing that name, Shi Shilei's heart tightened.He unconsciously pursed his lips tightly, and saw Zhou Mingtai walked a few steps outside with his hands behind his back, talking about why Liu Zhongming was so slow, his body cooled down piece by piece.

Could it be that the friend that Fu Qinruo's uncle said would come with him was Liu Ying?

This bad premonition soon became a reality, and Shi Shilei couldn't afford to back down a step.In a blink of an eye, he saw Liu Ying and Grandpa Fu walking in from the front. Both of them lowered their heads slightly, as if they were talking about something old. Their expressions were serious, but they were in a happy mood.

Shi Shilei clenched his teeth, and unconsciously clenched his hands into fists.

Only Zhou Mingtai laughed loudly and said: "I said Zhongming, why are you so slow, so you went to visit the old man first! Fu Lao, long time no see!"

Grandpa Fu crossed the threshold with his hands behind his back, said with a rare smile: "I came back from outside, and I met Zhongming looking around at the gate of Taimen, so I brought him in. Yin Qing, why did you leave the guest outside? "

"It's a crime, it's because he wanted to take a good look at it himself, so he fell behind unknowingly." Having said that, Fu Yinqing apologized, and said, "Zhongming, what's the matter? Have you visited enough?"

Liu Ying's chiseled face was extremely indifferent, but the smile more or less made his cold face look gentler.

He glanced behind Fu Yinqing, and said with a smile: "The gate of the platform is locked, and it has a history of a hundred years. It is impossible to finish reading it all at once."

It was this voice that came to Shi Shilei's ears again, as if awakening the memories that were about to rot in his mind, and it echoed sentence by sentence.

When those sentences were repeated, Liu Ying suddenly turned his attention to Shi Shilei, and all of them were surprised: "Shi Shi?"

He didn't expect this to happen, he thought he would never see this person again in his life, but everything came so unexpectedly.Hearing Liu Ying calling him, Shi Shilei's throat seemed to be clamped and he couldn't make a sound, but at this time the other two guests turned their surprised eyes on him.

Shi Shilei was hesitant about how to address him, and suddenly Zhou Mingtai asked with a smile, "What? Are you still an acquaintance?"

"Dad..." This title was called out, and Shi Shilei felt that his hands were cold.

"Long time no see." Liu Ying smiled.

He usually looks very serious, but he is still amiable when he smiles, but Shi Shilei doesn't know how to face this smile.He struggled to hold the corner of his mouth, but couldn't walk to Fu Qinruo's side.

With such a greeting, even Fu Yinqing was very surprised, and asked, "What's the situation? Zhongming, when did you have a son who is still this old?"

"Oh." Liu Ying suddenly looked at Shi Shilei, who was pale.

Shi Shilei was stiff all over, he didn't want to talk about the past between them, he didn't want to mention a word.However, Liu Ying himself does not speak, and only he can speak——only he has the position to speak.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Grandpa Fu looking puzzled at himself who had been holding back for a long time, and he had vaguely seen his frown that was about to frown.

For Shi Shilei, Liu Ying is a person who has the grace of nurturing.The kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school he attended are all the best in the local area, and he can also have a separate tutor to tutor foreign languages ​​after class. It can be said that it cannot be denied that Shi Shilei received the best education in those years because of Liu Ying. .But Shi Shilei still left because he didn't like him. In the eyes of people who don't know the real situation, he is already ignorant.

If at this time, he still had to wait for Liu Ying to explain, then I am afraid that in the eyes of these elders, he would be an unkind and unrighteous person who did not know how to repay his kindness.

"Uncle Liu is my adoptive father, and I was adopted by him when I was very young." Shi Shilei tried his best to show a docile appearance, and explained to the two guests with a smile, "But then I lived in school, and I haven't contacted for a long time It's gone." He really couldn't speak, and couldn't organize more convincing words.

Just as the others looked at each other, feeling puzzled and surprised, Liu Ying smiled meekly and said, "The young eagle will always leave the nest when it grows up. Shi Shi is not a sparrow either."

Shi Shilei didn't know whether he should thank him for helping him out, he just wanted to get over this as soon as possible, so he pulled the corner of his mouth and lowered his head.

"Why is it raining, are you still standing outside?" Grandma Fu stepped out of the living room, smiled and waved at them, "I made tea and want to chat, come in and drink and chat."

There is a faint fragrance of lotus in the tea leaves, floating in the curling green smoke.Shi Shilei got up to take a cup of tea, turned around and saw that there was no tea in Liu Ying's hand, so he knew what grandma meant by calling him over first.He heaved a sigh of relief, walked up to Liu Ying, handed him both hands, and said, "Dad, drink tea."

"Yeah." Liu Ying was talking to Grandpa Fu, looked up at him, took the tea and smelled it, looked up at him again in surprise, glanced to the side, and said, "Sit down."

"Sit." Grandpa Fu also said.

Shi Shilei didn't want to sit next to Liu Ying, but even Grandpa Fu had spoken, so he had to sit down on the seat next to Liu Ying.

He rubbed his hands on his knees, seeing that Fu Qinruo had been called to the study by Fu Yinqing, he couldn't help but stood up and called out: "Fu Qinruo..."

Just as Fu Qinruo was about to leave, he heard him call himself, looked at the others, and said, "Let's go together, didn't you also write a few days ago? Anyway, Mr. Zhou wants to read it."

"Let's read Shi Shi's writing after dinner. Isn't it a long time since I saw my father? Reminiscing about the past." After Fu Yinqing finished speaking naturally, he smiled at his grandparents again, "It's really weird to say that."

Grandma Fu was making tea, and she also said after hearing this: "Shi Shi, you can stay here and talk to your father. Qin Ruo, you read the words, and I will call you after I make dinner."

Shi Shilei heard that even grandma said that, so he sat down again and looked at Fu Qinruo with a dejected expression.

"Let's go." Fu Yinqing urged, looking at his nephew with more reproach.

Fu Qinruo was slightly taken aback, then gave Shi Shilei one last look, and followed his uncle out of the living room.

After he left, Shi Shilei couldn't sit on the chair peacefully.He always felt uncomfortable sitting next to Liu Ying.When he was still picking up customers before, if he met a customer he didn't like, he would leave immediately and push it to others.Except for the old man who took care of him at the beginning, Shi Shilei never served anyone who would make him feel uncomfortable.

But he knew he couldn't leave now.

He vaguely remembered Grandma Fu's reaction when they mentioned Liu Ying, and knew that they must appreciate this talented and literary master of contemporary calligraphy and painting.

In the eyes of everyone, such a person who has no shortcomings other than seriousness and aloofness is not worthy of Shi Shilei's respect?How could he put his face down and walk away?Not to mention that Liu Ying had adopted him, even as a junior who learned characters, he definitely shouldn't treat his seniors like this.

Seeing that Grandpa Fu's teacup was empty, Shi Shilei quickly got up and went to grandma's side to decant a new cup of tea.

"This tea was put in the lotus in the backyard by Shi Shi when the weather was fine a few days ago. Then it rained, and the water lily didn't bloom for several days, and it would be a little damp when I took it out again." Grandma Fu put the new tea Handed it over to Shi Shilei, and said to his friend, "But Shi Shi took it out last night and dried it for a while. Not only did it dry, but the fragrance of the flowers also entered the tea leaves. It just so happened that you came here today, so it's God's will."

Shi Shilei's hand holding the tea froze, and he almost didn't spill the tea.He put the teacup on the table, and when Liu Ying picked up the teacup and looked at him with a half-smile, his back felt chills.But he still made his far-fetched smile shy, and sat down beside him with his head down.

Grandpa Fu watched from the side and said, "He's a lot shy in front of you."

Liu Ying raised the teacup and shook it in front of his face, smelling the fragrance of the tea, said regretfully, "Probably because I was too strict with him before."

"Only under strict masters can hand over high-achieving apprentices. Shi Shi will have great achievements in the future." Grandma Fu comforted.

"It's not as good as Zhijing, after all, it was taught by the two veterans." He smiled lightly, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "The exhibition of contemporary Chinese calligraphy and painting rookies held in New York at the beginning of the year is very popular both in the industry and in society. It was very well received, and the local newspaper also made a very important report. I happened to be there at the time, and I was lucky enough to be invited to watch it, and there were works by Zhi Jing in it. I heard that it was hard to believe at his age, until I got it later I know, he is the second elder's closed disciple, so I have a little faith in it."

Shi Shilei didn't know why he said these strange words, he was confused and looked at grandma in puzzlement.

Grandma Fu was very surprised when she saw that he didn't understand, she finally gave a chuckle and said: "Shi Shi, Zhijing is the word of Qin Ruo, why don't you know?"

Thinking about it this way, it was true, but Shi Shilei had never heard anyone mention it, and was suddenly stunned, with a hot face, smiled shyly, and didn't say anything.It turns out that Fu Qinruo's writing has been sent to foreign Chinese circles for exhibitions, but where is he?

He wasn't even someone who would be called by a nickname when someone mentioned it.

Shi Shilei lowered his head and broke off his fingers, and heard Grandpa Fu say: "Qin Ruo is calm in nature, and usually keeps the things he writes and draws by himself. At most, he will look at them with his family. Send them to the exhibition The work, I am afraid that his uncle or uncle licked his face and asked him to create it, otherwise he would not use his own name to leave a name."

"Where does anyone say that about your nephew?" The old lady couldn't help but blame her when she heard her husband say that about Fu Yinqing.

Grandpa Fu laughed coldly twice, without explaining.

"Oh?" Liu Ying thought about it thoughtfully, and smiled, "No wonder when I read it at the time, I only felt that the strokes were vaguely deliberate, and I thought it was because the child who wrote the calligraphy was young and couldn't retract it freely. Mr. Fu, so to speak, I am afraid that it is better to respect what he is willing to write on weekdays?"

Grandpa was noncommittal, but just took a sip of tea.

"Shi Shi, why don't you go to the study and ask Zhi Jing to take some of his exercises? I'm afraid they are chatting vigorously, so it's not easy to interrupt." Liu Ying suddenly turned back and said to Shi Shilei.

Shi Shilei came back to his senses, raised his head blankly, still felt that the person he was talking about did not match the Fu Qinruo he knew.

"Shi Shi, isn't Qin Ruo copying Zhao Changqing's poems these days? I think he wrote that very seriously, so take it here and let your father have a look." Grandma Fu ordered.

"Oh, oh." Shi Shilei stood up and stuck for two seconds, remembering that Fu Qinruo had copied the eight-line letter pad yesterday, "I'll get it right away."

Shi Shilei has never felt like a day has passed so long like now.

The sky is gloomy, I don't look at the time, I don't know what time it is, as if every minute and every second in the future will be such a gloomy weather, it won't turn sunny again, and I can't wait for the late night when I can light up the lights.

Fu Qinruo's copied poetry collection was still read by Shi Shilei's bedside the night before, and when he got tired of engraving chapters in the study, he came back to sleep together.As soon as Shi Shilei returned to the room, he opened the door and saw the bound book on the table through the bed frame of the Ning style bed.

He walked over to pick it up, opened it and took out the red leaf bookmark inside, just in time to see the half-book that he read yesterday——

Nothing is nothing.What a layman.

Food and clothing do not ask for help, but also know how to read and write.

Not greedy nor hypocritical, blindly cheerful and naive, three ways.

Flowers in four seasons are worthy of games.

When reading this last night, Shi Shilei heard Fu Qinruo pushing the door open.Without thinking about it, he put the bookmark inside, threw the book on the table, and called softly: "Fu Qinruo."

Later, even the remaining half of the poems were unwilling to read.

If you read on, you might see the last sentence—"You Ronghua, I'll sleep with the door closed."

Shi Shilei never believed in fate, but Fu Qinruo reminded him again and again that there was another thing he couldn't escape.

Unexpectedly, there are many prophetic sentences in this book of poems, perhaps just to delay time, Shi Shilei flipped through the book several times in the room, and finally got up to go out.

But Liu Ying and the others had already left the living room at some point.

Shi Shilei went to his grandfather's study room, but there was no one there, so he went back to look for Fu Qinruo.

It turned out that everyone had come to Fu Qinruo's spacious study room, opening the scrolls in the box one by one here, while they were already studying ink and brushing brushes over there.

Zhou Mingtai, who was writing the words, looked up and saw Shi Shilei who was standing at the door and refused to go in, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Zhi Jing, before you came, your uncle told me that because you didn't go to a professional school, you know people in the circle. There are not many people here, and now it seems that you are a born book life, but you will naturally meet anyone with similar tastes."

With his back to the door, Fu Qinruo looked back following Zhou Mingtai's gaze, and couldn't help being startled.

"I see that this classmate Shi Shi is also a weak scholar with no strength!" Zhou Mingtai saw that the people next to him were puzzled, so he explained, and suddenly said, "Speaking of this, I really want to talk about it." The words are like the person."

He put down his pen, walked to the side, picked up a sheet of unframed characters, gently opened it, and praised Shi Shilei: "Shi Shi, this "Meticulous" was really written by you recently? I thought it was written by you who traveled back decades later! It is really rare for a child of this age to write such vigorous European style without losing the gentle beauty of Chu style."

That was the word he started writing after he came here for the summer vacation. He wrote a total of two articles on "Xunzi", and this is one of them.Shi Shilei walked into the study room, smiled modestly and said: "I wrote it recently, I just finished this article yesterday afternoon."

Zhou Mingtai raised his eyebrows, and said to Fu Yinqing: "It seems that I didn't come in vain this time. I couldn't find Fu Lao's words, but I gained a lot. Shi Shi, how much do you plan to write?"

"Ah?" Shi Shilei subconsciously turned his head to look at Fu Qinruo, and then said, "I plan to finish writing "Xunzi"."

"Isn't that a masterpiece? It's really powerful." He admired again, thought for a moment, and then said, "Can I pre-order your work first? After you finish writing, transfer it to me?"

Shi Shilei was startled, not quite sure what he meant, so he turned his questioning gaze to Fu Qinruo.

Fu Qinruo saw that he was not used to it, so he said: "I'm afraid it will take some time for him to finish writing. If Mr. Zhou wants it, please ask uncle to pay attention to it."

It turned out that Shi Shilei really wanted to buy his works, but Shi Shilei felt that it was unreal, and even his smile became more reserved.

"Then I will trouble Yin Qing." Zhou Mingtai smiled contentedly, and said to Liu Ying who was reading the scroll, "Liu Zhongming, why don't you come and see your son's handwriting? I'm not afraid that we haven't seen each other for many years. You are the blue one." Do not know at all!"

"Shi Shi's goal of surpassing Zhongming is not something that can be achieved overnight. Mingtai, you have to change your habit of talking like a river!" Fu Yinqing followed Liu Ying and laughed at him.Seeing Shi Shilei holding a thread-bound book in his hand, he asked curiously, "Could this be the collection of poems mentioned just now? Qin Ruo copied it recently?"

As Fu Yinqing said, he took the notebook from Shi Shilei's hand and opened it to read with Liu Ying.

Liu Ying's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked up at Fu Qinruo in surprise, before looking down at the poetry collection again.

At this moment, Zhou Mingtai was also attracted to him, he took a closer look, and praised without hesitation: "What a beautiful lowercase script!"

Liu Ying clasped his hands behind his back, and after flipping through a few pages, he asked, "Do you like Zhao Xianyuan's words?"

Fu Qinruo was noncommittal, and said, "I just copied it at will."

Hearing the two of them talking, Shi Shilei bit his lips uncomfortably, after thinking about it, he went aside to talk to grandma.But he couldn't help paying attention to what they were saying, and couldn't help glancing at them.

Seeing this, Grandma Fu whispered, "When you went to get the collection of words just now, Zhong Ming fell in love with a painting by Qin Ruo and wanted to buy it. I already told Yin Qing about it."

Shi Shilei was taken aback, and asked, "Which one?"

"The "Long Rain to Refresh the Summer Picture" that your grandfather is holding in his hand." Grandma Fu was quite emotional. "It's really rare to see Zhong Ming with low eyesight. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't accept it unless I gave it away."

Hearing that grandma belittled her grandson so much, Shi Shilei neither cried nor laughed, and said, "That painting is very beautiful."

She smiled calmly and said: "Good-looking is good-looking, but after all, Qin Ruo is an unborn child. Keep his paintings at home, and when guests come to see him, if they ask about an unknown person, there will always be a drop in price." "

Shi Shilei could hear some regret and regret in grandma's words, and guessed that she was probably not worth it for her grandson's quiet and detached personality.After all, even if it is not chasing fame and fortune, it is still an age to show off one's talents, so it is embarrassing in the eyes of the elderly to live in a corner and waste one's life like this.

He recalled that Liu Ying wanted to buy Fu Qinruo's painting, and tentatively asked, "How much does he want?"

Grandma Fu looked at him, shook her head with her mouth flattened, and said, "Not sure, maybe we will discuss it with Yin Qing later. You also know that if Qin Ruo doesn't have the concept of money in his mind, if he likes it, it's okay to give it away for free." .”

Shi Shilei felt a lot softer after hearing this, but also a little desolate.

Perhaps because he had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, Fu Qinruo really never put money in his eyes.Shi Shilei remembered that when they first met, Fu Qinruo was in a bad mood and had all the rooms in the inn empty, and he was unwilling to let them live in them.Later, it became a place to live casually, without charging a cent.

Thinking of this, Shi Shilei couldn't help but laugh.

"Since it's a study, Qin Ruo, why don't you give it to Mr. Liu as a favor!" Fu Yinqing suggested, "It's rare for you to hit it off so quickly when you meet, and Zhongming is Shi Shi's father, so this meeting gift is always given. Bar?"

Shi Shilei looked back and saw that he was referring to the dictionary, and couldn't help frowning.

Before Fu Qinruo could answer, Liu Ying smiled humbly and said, "It's the first time Zhi Jing and I have met Zhi Jing, so I don't dare to accept such an exercise. Let's discuss the price. I didn't like such elegant and elegant lowercase letters, but the advantage is that it fits the words and sentences, and this is the benefit that I can't wait for."

"Qin Ruo, what do you think?" Fu Yin Qingchao's nephew raised his eyebrows.

Fu Qinruo was silent for a moment, and apologized: "I copied this and gave it to Shi Shilei, I'm afraid I can't give it to Mr. Liu."

Hearing this, both of them had embarrassing expressions on their faces.

Fu Yinqing laughed and said, "Qin Ruo, what did you say? They are father and son, so donating it to Zhongming is just Shi Shi! Besides, it's not something important, it's just something you usually copy That's all." After he finished speaking, he played tricks on Fu Qinruo.

When Fu Qinruo saw it, he averted his gaze, but remained silent.

"Yin Qing, that's not what Qin Ruo wants to take out, and it's boring if you force it." Just as the atmosphere cooled down, Grandpa Fu said aside, "Since it's rare for everyone to get together today, why don't you write it now?" Let's paint and have fun. If Qin writes something to give to the guests, it's a good way to express his heart."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to get it out, and you'll be disgusted." Grandma laughed. "Zhongming, I haven't seen you write for a long time. Are you interested in writing something today? Leave some ink treasures and put them in the gate of my house?"

As soon as Zhou Mingtai heard the interest, he clapped his hands and smiled and said, "This is the best! Zhongming, will you give me a chance to be arty?"

Liu Ying looked at everyone, and his eyes fell back on the collection of words in his hand.He closed the notebook and put it aside, his words were still self-effacing: "I'm not a refined person, how can I let you be a vassal?"

Shi Shilei didn't know whether he was not used to their polite speech, or he didn't like to hang out with them. Seeing them start to study ink and write, he just wanted to go to the kitchen with Grandma Fu to get busy with dinner.

Who knew he was about to leave when he heard Zhou Mingtai say: "Shi Shi, let's go together! I still don't quite believe that you can write such European style. Let's prove it with our own eyes? Oh, and that one Cursive, let your father see your progress over the years!"

He held back the impatience in his heart and didn't plan to say anything.But grandma also smiled and said to let him stay, write and write with them, discuss and discuss, and let the woman prepare dinner.

Shi Shilei was afraid that if he continued to be hypocritical, even his grandfather would be unhappy, so he had to stay with him.

Fu Qinruo was reticent in the first place, but Shi Shilei just kept quiet and said whatever they wanted while writing, and only echoed a few casually when they asked.

He found that he didn't like this. It was a life he couldn't live with such a few people commenting on a few words.Perhaps it was only when he was with Fu Qinruo that he was willing to comment on what he wrote.

Grandma prepared a table of meals by herself, and when the lights first came on, the host and guests were all dining in the dining room.

Shi Shilei was hoping that they were leaving soon, so he ate absent-mindedly, and noticed that if Fu Qinruo didn't move his chopsticks much, it would be difficult to serve him food, so he could only chew the rice grains in his mouth in a daze.

What they said fell into Shi Shilei's ears one by one, and he realized that Liu Ying came here because the exhibition of his works was held in Hangzhou some time ago, and it just ended two days ago.

That said, he'll be back soon.

Shi Shilei was secretly breathing a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard his grandma say: "Since Zhongming is going back, Shi Shi will also go home and have a look?"

"Huh?" He came back to his senses, as if he couldn't understand what grandma said, "Go home?"

Liu Ying looked up at him and said, "Last time I heard from your mother Sun that you didn't go back during the winter vacation, and Chang Ke even came to Hangzhou to find you because of it. Your younger siblings miss you a lot, and the summer vacation is coming to an end soon." Now, hurry up and go back with me to see everyone."

Shi Shilei heard what he said was high-sounding and natural, but he panicked in his heart. He said with embarrassment: "I..." Could it be that he has something to do?Isn't this just being idle at home all day and night with nothing to do?However, it cannot be said that he does not want to go back.

"Xiaobin found the kidney source, do you know?" Liu Ying asked further.

He had never heard of this news, he was startled, and said in surprise: "Found it?"

Liu Ying nodded with a smile, and said, "I went to an orphanage once before I came to Hangzhou, and that's when Mama Sun told me."

Shi Shilei breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about getting the money ready as soon as possible so that his brother could have the operation.

"Don't worry about the money, I'm ready. Now Xiaobin is under observation in the hospital, and the operation should only take two weeks. It's hard to wait until he repents." Liu Ying seemed to see what he was thinking. Yes, so to speak.

He thumped in his heart, and immediately didn't know what to say.

Liu Ying said earnestly: "Go back and have a look. You have worked hard to take care of him these years. Now that he is about to recover, go back and have a look?"

The others at the table didn't speak for fear of disturbing them, but listening to the words between them, they roughly knew what was going on.As a result, everyone was baffled by Shi Shilei's hesitation, and it was inconvenient to ask.

Holding the blue and white porcelain bowl, Shi Shilei made up his mind and said, "Then I'll go back in a few days."

"Aren't you going back with Zhongming?" Grandma Fu asked strangely, "He's going back tomorrow, and he's going the same way."

She asked everyone's doubts, Shi Shilei smiled reluctantly, seeing Fu Qinruo's expression of being inconvenient to comment, felt inexplicably displeased.He pursed his lips, and heard Liu Ying say, "Let's go together, I'll ask my assistant to book another ticket."

Even though he was sitting at the dinner table, Shi Shilei still felt that he was cornered.The chopsticks were tightly held in his hands, making impressions.

"Well, good." Shi Shilei finally had to surrender.

They were all in high spirits that day. After dinner, they played the piano and discussed poetry again.

The rain began to fall again, falling along the roof tiles, dripping on the branches and leaves of the osmanthus trees, and falling into the potholes of the old stone bricks, making a pattering sound.

Grandma found out the shakuhachi that Fu Yinqing used to practice when he was young, and let his friends know that he still has such a skill, so he insisted on showing it on the spot.Fu Yinqing couldn't hold back everyone's interest, so he played a piece at random, the sound was so ethereal that it seemed that he wanted to fly over the strings of rain curtains and fly into the air.

All Shi Shilei thought was that he would go back with Liu Ying tomorrow afternoon, so there was no way he could laugh and laugh with them.He sat down beside Fu Qinruo sullenly, resting his chin on his head, watching Fu Yin Qingjiao Zhou Mingtai blowing the shakuhachi, rubbing his eyes, and saw Liu Ying, who was talking to his grandfather, suddenly turned his head to look at him, and immediately moved his eyes away .

When will they leave?It's not too early.Shi Shilei wanted to ask, but it was inconvenient to ask, after all, he was neither the host nor the guest, and his position was awkward.He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had been bitten by a mosquito on his forehead, and it was itchy.

Shi Shilei raised his head and saw that Fu Qinruo had been looking at him for some time, felt aggrieved for a moment, pouted his mouth, and rubbed his itchy forehead against the back of his hand.

Fu Qinruo put his hand beside the guqin, he was startled when he saw this, and asked softly, "Itchy?"

"En." Shi Shilei nodded.

In order to play the piano, Fu Qinruo left some nails on his right hand.He stretched out his hand to gently scratch Shi Shilei, saw the red mark left, and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and find some salt for you to rub."

"I'll go with you." After finding an excuse to leave, Shi Shilei stood up without saying a word.

"Where is this going?" Grandma asked puzzled when she saw the two get up.

Fu Qinruo looked at Shi Shilei, and replied: "He was bitten by a mosquito, I'll go get some salt."

She nodded knowingly, smiled gently at Shi Shilei and said, "Go."

Shi Shilei responded with a smile, turned around and heard Liu Ying ask: "Still together?"

He sank, turned his back to Liu Ying, and snorted at Fu Qinruo unhappily.Even the adoptive father had spoken, so Shi Shilei had to turn around and sit back.

"Qinruo, hurry up, I seem to have been bitten too." Grandma ordered.

Fu Qinruo looked down at the expressionless Shi Shilei, nodded and left.

He only took two steps, and Zhou Mingtai, who finally played the shakuhachi, asked with a smile, "Shi Shi, what musical instrument do you know?"

Shi Shilei was not in the mood to deal with him, and said casually, "No."

"Zhongming, don't you know how to play the flute? What's the matter? You plan to take it into the coffin in the future, so you didn't give it to your son?" Zhou Mingtai laughed and joked to Liu Ying after hearing this.

Liu Ying turned his eyes to look at Shi Shilei, and said: "I taught him before, but if you don't want to learn it, forget it."

Shi Shilei took a deep breath, faced the eyes of other people, and continued to speak.He smiled coyly and said, "I really don't like things about rhythm." After he finished speaking, he felt wrong, and sure enough, he immediately saw the questioning eyes of his grandparents.

He was discouraged, but he had no chance to correct it.Thinking about the fact that in order to attract Fu Qinruo's attention, he acted like he liked the piano very much. This matter did not give up points in the hearts of grandparents, but now I am afraid it will all be deducted, right?Maybe they even hated it because they were fake.

Shi Shilei didn't want to be pushed out at this time, he gritted his teeth, and said: "I have almost forgotten the flute, but I still remember a little bit of Qin. Earlier, Fu Qinruo also taught me again."

"Oh?" Fu Yinqing was very surprised, and nodded thoughtfully, "Music, like poetry and books, is something that can only be learned by calming down. It can also cultivate the body and mind, and purify the soul..."

I don't know why he said this, but Shi Shilei was in a bad mood and didn't want to agree.He even wanted to complain: there is no
