After getting acquainted with Zhou Shuhe, Qi Yu realized that Little Huxiang had so many delicious and fun things to do, and experienced the superficial happiness brought to people by climbing trees and catching fish, catching cats and dogs, and some messy hand shadow games.

In the end, he even did things that were very boring to him, such as shopping, watching a theater, choosing clothes and jewelry - even these things, as long as he was with Zhou Shuhe, he would still find it interesting.

But at the same time, he is a young student who listened to the stories of hanging his butt and chiseling his body, grew up under the teacher's stick and his aunt's precepts, and firmly believed that an inch of time should not be taken lightly.

Originally, he studied in the school from Maozheng to Youji every day, and then went home to study by himself until [-] o'clock in the night, and got up before Mao the next day to go to school to study*.Day after day, one in a million talents must be added to forge the youngest Juren in Daning.

But Qi Yu really wanted to stay with Zhou Shuhe, play with her cats and dogs, and share the shortbread fruits she made herself.

After all, Zhou Shuhe is a girl in a boudoir, and she has to go home every day at Xushi at the latest, while Qi Yuyou only leaves school immediately, she doesn't want to waste a moment in this short hour, and leads a group of maidservants every day to the gate of the academy to wait. he.

The students in the academy were all older than Qi Yu, and most of them were already married. Seeing the two older children happily playing together, they found it interesting, so they would often tease them kindly.

Zhou Shuhe is still a girl who is not enlightened at all. She just thinks that these big brothers talk a lot, and it is really annoying to delay the time of playing with Qi Yu. It's just that sometimes they talk very interesting. Once they come back and forth, it can be regarded as worthwhile to her. up.

Qi Yu understands a little bit, knows some feelings, but doesn't know what to be shy about, as long as someone says that they are close, he will be happy.They often praised him in front of Zhou Shuhe for how good he was at studying and how much he was appreciated by the teacher. Her eyes lit up, and Qi Yu couldn't help but raise his tail proudly.

Zhou Shuhe often arrived home at the hour of Xu Shi, while Qi Yu sent her into the house, then immediately turned around and rushed home, rushed into the study room, picked up the book boy, prepared a pen and ink early and lit the lamp to read at night.

All kinds of scriptures, laws, characters and calculations, as well as poems and songs, and the six arts of gentlemen, these cannot be left behind.

He wanted to be with Zhou Shuhe this week, and he also wanted to study hard to have a good future. He wanted everything, so he could only cut back his time for eating and sleeping.

After all, he is a young man of twelve or thirteen years old, full of energy, and sometimes he only sleeps for two or three hours without any discomfort.

Until the spring of the 18th year of Taiping, because he had to prepare for the autumn of that year, the teacher of the academy gave him extra homework.

He didn't want to miss his homework, and neither did Zhou Shuhe, either.On a certain afternoon when he didn't get enough sleep for two and a half hours for a month, Qi Yu endured a headache and tried to read the words on the book clearly. He only felt dizzy for a while, and finally passed out in the academy classroom.

When he woke up, the sky outside the window was already dark. It must be at least Xu time, and he was in the bedroom at home. He just wanted to call someone to ask what was going on, but he heard the voice of his aunt from outside. Anger was still fear, trembling with a level that Qi Yu had never heard before.

"Everyone talks about marrying a wife and a virtuous person, because they are afraid that the gentleman will be too busy playing and forget about his business. My Yu'er has been obedient since she was a child, and after she became sensible, she even suppressed herself and worked hard. It can't be delayed. But now he wants Playing with Miss Zhou has delayed my body, if so, I would rather let him delay the business!"

The person on the opposite side listened honestly and only said "I'm sorry", but Qi Yu didn't want Zhou Shuhe to face such accusations, so he raised his voice and called "Auntie".

Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, a middle-aged beautiful woman hurriedly stepped into the inner room and rushed to his bedside. The young girl behind her lowered her head, clasped her hands tightly, and followed behind her step by step.

The woman's eyes were still red, and she tried her best to control her emotions, and finally her voice stopped choking, and when her emotions calmed down, her tone returned to the usual respect.

"Fourth son, you are finally awake."

Everyone in Zhou Shuhe was dumbfounded. The woman who had just shouted hoarsely changed her face after a while. She really didn't understand the situation. She raised her head to see what was going on with her, but accidentally bumped into the complicated emotions in Qi Yu's eyes, and she shivered again. Shrunk back.

All kinds of emotions were intertwined in Qi Yu's heart, but there was only one dry sentence left in his mouth: "I'm fine, don't worry, Auntie."

Different from Zhou Shuhe, and even from all other sons and girls who were concubine, including his sister who is one year younger than him, Qi Yu and his biological mother, Aunt Zou—to be precise, Aunt Zou will always hold on to Qi Yu. With a respectful attitude without intimacy.

She was Mrs. Qi's dowry, but she gave birth to the first son of the Qi family before her master.In fact, Mrs. Qi has never blamed anyone for this, but Aunt Zou consciously rejected all intimate connections with the eldest son, and called him "fourth son" respectfully.

And the "Yu'er" she said when she scolded Zhou Shuhe that day was the first time Qi Yu heard her call her name since she could remember.

After becoming sensible, Qi Yu read a lot of articles about filial piety. He didn't want to let himself feel resentful, and always tried to understand her.For example, she may have been an overly polite person, or she may be used to trembling, or she is just very simple, and she doesn't like him.

"Auntie..."

He didn't know what to say, he just wanted to say something instinctively, he couldn't let his aunt call him fourth son anymore, he wanted to hear her call Yu'er.

"Fourth Young Master, as long as there is nothing to do." Aunt Zou turned around and was about to leave.

The sky was dark, and it was hard to tell what night it was. Qi Yu closed his eyes, feeling that the hug that he had longed for since he was a child, so hungry that every inch of his skin could feel hungry, had gone away from him again.

Until the girl who lowered her head and said nothing hesitated to speak.

"Well... Aunt Zou, I feel that brother Qi Si is not in a good condition, he is very uncomfortable."

Zhou Shuhe vaguely sensed that the atmosphere was weird, so she didn't dare to speak at first, and no one paid any attention to her when she opened her mouth. She didn't know if she said something wrong, and she was a little embarrassed, but she still bite the bullet and continued.

"I, I admit my mistake first! It was because I was ignorant and insisted on being accompanied, so that he had no time to rest, so he got sick. But he is already sick now, so it must be very uncomfortable. When I feel uncomfortable, I will let my father and mother return Brothers and sisters came to coax me...Of course it doesn't mean that you are so self-willed that you have to spend time with others, yes, if you are too busy, you can just hug me..."

The room was silent in answer to her, Aunt Zou didn't continue walking, but she didn't look back either.

Zhou Shuhe really didn't dare to speak now, and couldn't bear the uncomfortable atmosphere, so he buckled his toes desperately on the soles of his shoes.

"Xiaohe." Qi Yu called her.

Finally, it wasn't a one-man show alone, Zhou Shuhe was overjoyed: "Hey! I'm here!"

Qi Yu pursed his lips to look at her, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "You are still young, and you have always been worry-free. Of course, you need Mom and Dad to hug you. I don't need it."

These words gave a step, Aunt Zou took advantage of the situation, turned around and gave a blessing, and stepped out of the room.

Zhou Shuhe was not stupid, of course he could tell that what Qi Yu said was not the truth, anyone who felt uncomfortable needed to be coaxed, even when the Heavenly King Laozi came.But it was the first time she saw Aunt Zou, and Qi Yu had never mentioned this biological mother before, and now she was unfamiliar with the place of birth, and she didn't know the origin of it, so the fool rushed to make irresponsible remarks.

So she just probed to make sure that Aunt Zou had left, then trotted to Qi Yu's bed, looked at him with a smile, and put her arms around him.

"Let me give you a hug," she said.
