continuation [farming]

On the ten-day holiday, the gate of Qingjun Academy was rarely lively.When Xia He arrived there, it was the time when there were the most people.He looked at the huddled horses and chariots in front of him, consciously stopped the donkey cart at a foot farther away, and didn't go down, but just stepped on the cart, watching to see if Li Mu came out.

Before waiting for Li Mu, Xia He waited for a disciple.

The man looked at the person, and seeing Xia He sitting alone in the car with no one watching over him, he immediately changed his face, showed a smile that he thought was overwhelming, and walked towards Xia He He came and asked with concern: "Whose family's little lady is this, why is she sitting here alone?"

Xia He frowned, knowing that if he paid attention to this person, he would definitely stick his nose in the face, so he simply ignored him.

The man ignored Xia He's cold face, and continued to show courteousness: "Little lady is lonely, otherwise, let me accompany you?"

Anger burned in Xia He's heart, he rolled his eyes, and simply slapped the donkey, causing it to writhe in pain, and bumped into the Deng Tuzi.The man was taken aback and sat down on the ground.Xia He didn't really want to kill anyone, so she quickly called the donkey to a stop, and seeing the man frightened into such a state, she said triumphantly: "Which family is this, who is so unmannered, even this beast knows men and women Dafang, don’t teach you to get too close to me.”

He deliberately opened his voice.Except for those sent by the family to pick them up, there are also many scholars who have to walk home by themselves. At this time, they saw such a bustling scene on the way, and they all stood far away. Didn't Xia He just tell them, alluding to this person? But it's useless to think about it, let alone people, you can't even catch up with an animal.

The man fell to the ground, and then he looked at the circle of classmates far behind him, none of them seemed to be looking this way, but they were all secretly looking at them, chatting and laughing together in twos and threes, and knew that he was Once it was embarrassing, and he became annoyed, and said: "You little hoof, you don't know good people! Do you know who I am?"

"I don't care who you are. This is the gate of Qingjun Academy. All your classmates are watching. If you do such a nasty thing, you are not afraid that your master will find out and drive you out, so that you will no longer be able to take scientific examinations?" Xia He snorted and said.

Even Xia He knew about it. Although this Qingjun Academy is located in Raonan Town, it is well-known in the entire county because it has produced five Beijing officials.Many families are not afraid of distance, and are happy to send their children here. These families are either rich or noble, and they hinder each other, which makes the academy's status somewhat aloof, and no one likes to sell their face.

Who would have thought that the man was not afraid, with his nostrils upturned: "My uncle works for the county magistrate, can this academy be freed from the jurisdiction of the county government?"

"It's just that there is an uncle who works in the county government. Look at this posture, it seems that this Qingjun Academy is going to change its surname to Kang." Xu Shi's words finally aroused public anger. This time, before Xia He could refute, he said The courageous scholar laughed out loud.

"You! You dare to provoke me, be careful..." The man jumped.

"Be careful of what? Be careful that you cry at your uncle, and then your uncle cry at the magistrate's? Hahaha!" The scholar who spoke was a bit crazy. Seeing many people watching him, he spoke more vigorously.

Xia He sneered behind that surnamed Kang, and said faintly: "I've heard of it, there is an allusion called a fox pretending to be a tiger. I see you like this, I'm afraid you can't even be called a fox, it should be called... a mouse Fake fox prestige?" Even the uncle who was talking about that person was scolded.

When Xia He said this, many people were amused by him, the one who just came laughed the most wantonly, and asked: "Whose girl is this, she is eloquent?" This person looked at Xia He's clothes , thought he was someone's servant, otherwise he wouldn't have driven out by himself without anyone accompanying him.

Unexpectedly, Xia He had sharp eyes, and saw Li Mu just coming out of the door, bypassing the cars and horses that were stuck there, and walking this way, so he hurriedly greeted: "Mr.

The person surnamed Kang and the person who took the lead in blocking him were startled.Both of them think that Xia He is a servant, if the surnamed Kang knew that Xia He was the wife of a student in the academy, how could he molested her.He turned his head and saw that the person walking this way was Li Mu, the darling of the gentlemen. He even murmured badly, who didn't know that Li Mu also had an uncle, who was much more useful than his uncle. My uncle is working in the capital.

Li Mu didn't come out alone, beside him was the scholar Yuan whom Xia He saw last time.Because Li Mu was about to end, a Mr. Ling from the academy stayed behind to give him a few more words of advice.The Yuan scholar left earlier, just when he saw the surnamed Kang pestering Xia He, he recognized that the woman driving the carriage was Li Mu's new wife, and hurried back to report the news.Li Mu was also surprised that it was Xia He who came to pick him up in person. Hearing that he was being stalked by a famous bastard in the academy, he hurriedly bid farewell to his husband and rushed out, just as he heard Xia He scolding the man surnamed Kang as a rat. Turning his head and waving to himself with a smile on his face, he called Mr. Xiang.

Scholar Yuan curled his lips, this time he couldn't hold back his disdain for Xia He, relying on his good relationship with Li Mu, he murmured softly: "Brother Li, I think that sister-in-law from before came from a farming family, but she still has a good personality. This... are they real sisters?"

Li Mu nodded slightly. Yuan Scholar thought he would be angry with Xia He when he came out and showed his face, but Li Mu actually smiled. A few friends made brief introductions to reveal Xia He's identity.Yuan Scholar had known Li Mu for some years, and it was rare to see this man put on a smile on his face. Seeing him like this, he froze on the spot.

"Where's fourth uncle?" Li Mu asked, stretching out his hand towards Xia He, telling him to sit down instead of standing on the donkey cart, "Be careful of falling."

"Fourth Uncle Li is sick, and everyone in the village is busy again, so I'll come to pick you up." Xia He said, happily jumped to sit down, and gave the whip to Li Mu, "Let's go home?" That's the guy who's still jumping.

Li Mu glanced at the person surnamed Kang with a cold face, and said to Xia He in a low voice: "Mr. has disliked him for a long time, and he did such things at the gate of the academy again. He probably won't stay for long. You don't have to be afraid of him." , his uncle is not a shameful person either."

"I'm not afraid of him!" Xia He got into the car without even looking at the man.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something again, poked his head out, and said with a smile: "Master, Jin Bao can sit up, mother is so happy!"

"You sit down." Li Mu didn't answer, just said, and pulled down the curtain of the hood.

He felt a little sour in his heart, he didn't really want to teach Xia He to be seen by others.

Li Mu only bid farewell to a few close friends, and ignored that surnamed Kang just like Xia He, and drove away in the car.Seeing that there is no excitement, those who should go home also rush back with their books on their backs.The one surnamed Kang poohed at the back of the donkey cart, and muttered, "It's a village woman, it's so vulgar, it's a pity that face..."

Both Xia He and Li Mu had an extremely tacit understanding and did not mention the incident at the gate of the academy to the villagers. As soon as Li Mu returned home, he went to see his mother and son, and saw that little Jinbao could sit up unsteadily. , couldn't help but patted his head with some relief.It's a pity that children are very forgetful, Jin Bao looked at his father, whom he hadn't seen for ten days, and chewed on his fingers, and felt a little strange, and he didn't like being close to him.

Li Mu smoothly pressed his little hand down, not letting him eat his fingers.Seeing this strange father discipline him, Jin Bao burst into tears.

Mrs. Li beat her leg and said with a smile: "I don't know who this little thing looks like. You were not so good at crying when you were a child! Go and call your wife and coax Jin Bao."

He didn't use Li Mu to call, Xia He heard Jin Bao crying from a distance, and hurriedly came, picked up Jin Bao, and coaxed him skillfully.

Soon Jin Bao's Golden Doudou was taken back, Xia He wiped it for him, and then put Jin Bao on the small stool that was specially modified for him.Suddenly, he remembered to show off to Li Mu, pointed to the little stool and said, "I came up with this thing, what do you think, my lord?"

The stool that Jin Bao sat on was surrounded by railings, and there was a layer of soft leather under his buttocks, which was found by Mrs. Li.It allows Jinbao to sit still and touch things around him without fearing that he will fall off.With this thing, Xia Hecai really felt a lot lighter. Putting Jinbao with Mrs. Li also saved her a lot of energy.

Seeing Xia He's appearance waiting for him to praise, Li Mu rarely curled his lips and praised him: "Well done, Xia He is really ingenious."

Xia He got the compliment, and became even happier, but she did not forget to let go: "I am only a soul, and I can't talk about dexterity. The things are made by my father."

"This girl, I'm afraid she has a tail that has been raised!" Mrs. Li laughed when she heard what Xia He said, "I have praised you so many times in the past two days, and I have to teach Mu'er to praise you again. Are you satisfied now? Go and see if your Aunt Lin's meal is ready!"

"Hey!" Xia He ran away like a gust of wind.

The three grandparents and grandchildren of the Li family were left in Mrs. Li's house.The old lady suddenly said with emotion: "No wonder my in-laws are reluctant to marry this girl Xia He. He is such a treasure. Look, my son who never likes to laugh is now laughing."

Hearing this, Li Mu touched the corner of his mouth, feeling a little dazed, did he smile?He was strictly disciplined by his father since he was a child, and his temper has become more and more restrained, and he doesn't like to show his thoughts.After Li's father passed away, he was afraid that his family would be bullied, so he tended to keep a straight face outside. By now, many people have said how he couldn't laugh anymore.

Is he smiling now?
