Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 72

After the two made up their big marriage, Zhao Xiyan always felt that there was nothing to do, he got up in the morning to practice, and came to study in the evening.There is no teacher in the small tea village, so not many people can read and write, and those who want to study have to go to the town.After Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning agreed, the ancestral hall in the tea village will be used as a small academy, and Mr. Zhao Xiyan will not charge any money to teach children under the age of 16 in the tea village.He always felt that he had nothing to offer the hospitality of the tea village, so he could only do his best. Hearing this, Xia Shuning agreed very much.As soon as this plan came out, the whole tea village was very happy.If you want to go to the town to study, you have to wait until you are older, so you can’t keep up with the children in the town if you are late in the enlightenment, and the family may not be able to afford a child to go to the town to study.The families with children in the tea village sent them to Zhao Xiyan to learn from them.Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning followed Uncle Wang down the mountain to buy paper, pens, inkstones, and enlightenment books, and opened the business after setting up a portrait of Confucius and dozens of tables.

Zhao Xiyan got up early to practice sword every day, Xia Shuning wiped his sweat and changed his clothes before going to the ancestral hall to teach with books.In the ancestral hall, Zhao Xiyan's warm voice chattered about allusions, and there was also the sound of children reading aloud.Xia Shuning occasionally came to eavesdrop, and saw that this person was much less worried than before, regained a bit of wisdom, and was even more radiant without any worries, and it was sweet to look at.The elder sisters-in-law who had children in the village often came to look outside the ancestral hall. When they saw Xia Shuning peeping at her husband-in-law, they praised her for being kind and beautiful and married a good husband-in-law. Xia Shuning was always embarrassed to hear that.The days flowed so leisurely, it was very pleasant.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to pick spring tea in Wuyi Mountain. After the cold food, the clouds and rain disappeared, and the vitality was flourishing. The mountains and plains were green, the breeze was warm, and the spring butterflies were lingering and dancing.The air is full of the fragrance of new spring tea, and there are people growing sweet potatoes on the slope over there.The wooden plow loosened the soil, and earthworms emerged. Just as they were about to run away, a rooster took it away.It's another good time of year for tea picking, the sun is shining, and the spring is just right.Zhao Xiyan gave the students tea-picking leave, Sibao was dressed in sackcloth, and was forced by Mrs. Liu to find a tea-picking cage.Sibao got up early today, drowsy all day long, walked back and forth and then went back to the room and fell asleep on the bed, with the hat still on his body.Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning also wanted to help the villagers pick tea, so they learned from Aunt Liu.The mountain is full of tea trees, and villagers are working hard to pick tea everywhere.Uncle Wang's daughter who was married to the town has a good singing voice. When she came home to help today, the villagers inevitably booed her to sing.Uncle Wang's eldest daughter did not shirk, and sang the tea-picking song without stopping. The villagers heard that she sang beautifully, and sang along.With the fragrance of tea all over the mountains and the singing of the crowd, Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning stopped their hands and savored the feast of tea picking by farmers.Born in the royal family, they were used to gorgeous silk and bamboo string music since childhood, and they were really excited when they heard this song with only human voices and no instruments.This is the simple people of Daqi, and this is the life that can be heard and touched.Zhao Xiyan took out from his arms the flute that the carpenter gave him this morning. It was originally intended to teach the children how to play, but at this moment he encountered a flute.Zhao Xiyan picked up the flute and played music for them. When the villagers heard the melodious sound of the flute, they became even more excited and sang louder.On Wuyi Mountain, the loud and melodious singing of the villagers and the beautiful flute sound of Zhao Xiyan echoed.Xia Shuning trembled when she was teased by Zhao Xiyan, looking at him over and over again, her eyes were full of love.

How could Sibao, who was asleep in the house, see this feast.The hoopoe was chirping outside the window, and Sibao was half awake from the noise, muttering, don't make noise, just let me sleep.Aunt Liu suddenly found that the Four Treasures were missing, so she went home to look for them, calling for the Four Treasures all the way home.Da Huang saw Mrs. Liu walking home, so he ran to bite the padded jacket under Sibao's buttocks.How did Sibao know that his mother was about to arrive with a whip, and he woke up angrily, staring at sleepy eyes in a daze, threatening Rhubarb.

"Rhubarb, you are not allowed to bite my little padded jacket again. Otherwise, I will give you to the little female cat of Uncle Wang's house in the village!"

"Send you there, don't blame me for annoying you, don't you see that I am sleeping soundly? You keep disturbing me."

As soon as Sibao finished speaking, he opened his eyes and found that it was his mother who was driving with a bamboo whip.Sibao panicked, anticipating something bad, jumped out of bed, and was about to run away.Just as he was running out, he bumped into Wantao who was carrying a tea cage next door.Sibao blushed and retreated to his mother, with a heroic appearance, thinking in his heart that it's okay, let's forget it, a hero is not afraid of tigers and leopards, how can I bow down for the rattan.Mrs. Liu took Sibao by the ear and took him to the tea field, so as to teach him a lesson.

"Look, Sibao, the tea farmers have worked so hard picking tea."

"Every year, the official tea tax is so high, every household is like this. Who is as lazy as you, how dare you be lazy and sleep on this big day!"

"Mother, I was wrong, and I dare not do it again."

Hearing this, Sibao's chubby brother Zhao Xiaoyu stopped his hands and looked at Sibao and smiled.

"Sibao doesn't know how to do any work, he just begs for mercy."

When everyone heard this, they roared with laughter, and Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning also laughed when they saw Sibao's aggrieved appearance.Sibao saw Wantao not far away, he didn't look at his joke, just raised the tip of the new tea lightly with his plain hand and dropped it.Sibao was stunned, and Wan Tao turned her head to look at Sibao and smiled.Four Treasures ran away, yelling back to the teahouse to boil water and make tea.Sibao carried two buckets of water and poured them into the cauldron; he brought firewood and piled it on the stove, lit the dry leaves to start the fire.Sibao was thinking about something, and the fire was burning, as if time flies, the smoke from the stove was curling up, and the boiling water was gurgling.After the tea was brewed, Sibao put the tea in a large teapot and carried it over the small stove in the tea shed.Sibao brought a rag, wiped the benches and tables, brought out the tea bowls, and waited for the tea merchants and passers-by.Mrs. Liu came back to see him, and when she saw that he had done all the work well, she smiled gratifiedly at him.Seeing a visitor, Sibao hastily took out the teacup and poured a bowl of tea.It was a lonely old woman going to the town alone, Sibao asked the old woman to rest.Another person came, a handsome young man, who went to the teahouse and said that he was going to buy some tea here on the way to rush for the exam.Sibao heard that he was going to the capital to rush for the exam, and Master Zhao said that the capital was far away, so he gave the little brother an extra spoonful.The little brother was paying, but Mrs. Liu ran out and refused to accept the money, saying that it would be good to ask him to write an inscription to offset it.Sibao looked at Brother Jun with a smile, but there was a messy sound coming from afar.Sibao took a closer look, and it turned out to be a bully who came here all day to make trouble.The last time the bullies came to the teahouse to eat free food, and the last time they bullied the Chen family's sister-in-law, Sibao was angry.But the bully went to the teahouse and called out to Mrs. Liu to serve him tea. Sibao was overwhelmed with anger, so he brought rhubarb and scolded him.

"Let's talk about it first, should I pay the bill this time or send an IOU?"

Hearing the child's words, the bully couldn't bear it, so he yelled and picked up the collar of the four treasures.Zhao Xiyan saw it and hurried back, fearing that the Four Treasures would suffer.

"You little rabbit, how dare you pluck the hair from the tiger's mouth. I don't care about your poor country."

The bully put down the four treasures heavily, brother Jun was terrified when he saw it.The Four Treasures are big little ghosts, and shouted, "Guest officer, don't be afraid! A hero is not afraid of you! See, my Four Treasures will definitely ask him to beg for mercy!"

"Rhubarb!" Sibao whistled, and the rhubarb was drawn like a sword.

Rhubarb barked wildly behind Sibao, rushed straight to bite the bully, how could the bully hide, and ran around howling.Seeing his mischief, Zhao Xiyan couldn't help walking up to him and knocking him on the head.Seeing his master knocking him on the head, Sibao felt embarrassed scratching his head and smiling when he knew that his master punished him for being a hero.Zhao Xiyan took a bowl of hot tea and walked back to Xia Shuning's side, and gave her a sip.Sibao ran into the tea field, saw a tender bud picked off, and put it in his small purse.After a day of hard work, in the evening, Mrs. Liu stirs up new tea at home, and Sibao runs around with rhubarb.

"Life is like tea. You have to endure the torment of stir-frying, so that the tea can float and sink in the hot water."

"Msanggong sighed, it is true."

"Of course, I am very satisfied with the current comfort. Especially with you, this life is finally what a person should live."

"You made me happy again."

"be honest."

The sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun was all sprinkled on the mountain on one side.Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning stood on the slope, looking at the tea trees, flowers, grass, and butterflies all over the mountain.Zhao Xiyan hugged Xia Shuning, fearing that the evening chill would freeze his heart.Xia Shuning and Zhao Xiyan have been together for so long, she has long been used to his hugs all the time, enjoying the warmth of being in his arms.Xia Shuning didn't know why, but suddenly felt extremely sick, and felt like vomiting.She is used to practicing medicine, and often sees a doctor for herself, so she thinks that her stomach is broken, so she checks her own pulse.It's okay not to probe, but such a probe frightened herself.Xia Shuning couldn't believe it, this pulse was both shocking and joyful but also unbelievable.She obviously didn't give her husband the pills that Uncle Tang gave, why did it only take two months... Xia Shuning thought of these two months, since the day of their wedding, the two of them have always had intercourse every now and then, as if the chances were a little high.After thinking about it, Xia Shuning felt sick and almost vomited.Zhao Xiyan thought it was cold to her, so he patted her on the back gently.

"Ning'er, but the wind blows and I feel uncomfortable."

Xia Shuning didn't answer, but was still patting her chest lightly.

"Ning'er, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Xiyan was very anxious, he didn't know why Ning'er suddenly felt unwell, but unfortunately he didn't know much about medicine, so he hurriedly said that he would take her back to find the poison sage.Xia Shuning waved her hand, "No need."

"Why don't you use it? Doctors don't heal themselves, so I'll take you back."

Zhao Xiyan was about to hug Xia Shuning back, but Xia Shuning refused him.Xia Shuning took her own pulse again, and after confirming it, she couldn't hide her smile.

"Ning'er, what's the matter with you, how can you still laugh when you're sick? Just follow me back soon."

"fool."

Zhao Xiyan really couldn't understand why his family, Ning'er, was so happy when he was ill. Seeing him like this, Xia Shuning couldn't hold back her joy.She threw herself into her arms and buried herself in Zhao Xiyan's arms.Xia Shuning leaned her head on Zhao Xiyan's shoulder, her red lips parted slightly, and a smile could not be hidden in her eyes.

"I... am pregnant."

As soon as the words came out, Zhao Xiyan couldn't believe it like a bolt from the blue. He hugged Xia Shuning tightly, his whole body trembling.

"What you said is true?"

"It's true." When the sentence was true, Zhao Xiyan was so happy that he couldn't speak. If there was a sound of joy, Zhao Xiyan's joyful sound would probably resound throughout the world.

Zhao Xiyan couldn't believe that he could have a biological child in this life, so he hurriedly squatted down and put his ear on Xia Shuning's stomach, trying to hear the child's movement.Seeing him like this, Xia Shuning smiled even more, and gently stroked Zhao Xiyan's hair.

"It's only been two months, how can I hear anything."

"I can hear it!"

Knowing that Xia Shuning was pregnant, Zhao Xiyan didn't allow her to be tired, so he couldn't help but beat her up and hugged her all the way home.All the villagers along the way saw it and praised them for their love. Some older girls were ashamed and hid when they saw it.Xia Shuning knew that he was happy, but she was extremely embarrassed to be so focused.But seeing Zhao Xiyan's happy and expectant look, she had no choice but to let him go, her heart was full of sweetness.Zhao Xiyan hugged Xia Shuning all the way, with a smile that couldn't be hidden on his face, the beautiful woman was trembling in her bosom, and the two returned home on the moon.
