Have a dream book as a pillow

Chapter 13 Chapter 13

Let's say that Pei You returned to his own room after eating shortbread in the igloo.Picking up "University" and flipping through a few pages, I was familiar with it in the past, and felt bored, and then opened "Book of Songs", it was a piece of "No Clothes", and sat there staring at the candles, regretting Chasing Sheng'er away felt a bit too ruthless.Pei You just sat blankly in front of the desk, took a quick look and saw that it was the end of the day, so he got up and closed the window, saw a glint of light in the ice window, and thought, "Why hasn't he slept yet?"

At the beginning of late spring, in the middle of the night there was still a cool wind blowing into the skin, Pei You put on a stone-blue thin robe and walked under the moonlight window, and said to the window, "Wu Chen hasn't slept yet?"

The window quickly replied: "Yifei? It's so late, what are you doing standing in the yard? But something is going on? Come in and talk."

Pei You said: "It's all right, you don't need to get up. I was about to go to bed, and saw that the light in your room was on, and I told you to take care of yourself. It's late, and you should go to bed. It's not worth it to be exhausted in vain."

I just listened to the inside with a low smile: "Yifei doesn't know. Since the Spring Festival, I have been like this every day, but I spend some money and candles, but it doesn't waste my body and spirit. Besides, whoever is a scholar in the world has not studied hard for ten years. If not, you will be left behind.”

Hearing his words, Pei You was ashamed and distressed, and thought: Although I knew that he worked hard in the past, but I didn't expect to use it so hard. He has to sell calligraphy and deal with us people, and he doesn't know where to go at night .Thinking of this, he reluctantly persuaded: "You are very right, but you should take care of yourself and not be too aggressive. Now you stay up late, and you get up early, you can do it for a while, but how can you get by in the long run?"

I only heard Yu Bing say: "Understood, I'm going to sleep now, and Yifei should go to sleep too."

Pei You said: "Okay, I'm going back." After speaking, he returned to the room.Nothing to say all night.

At noon the next day, Yu Bing, Pei You, and Qin Fei all had lunch in the Rongyue Courtyard, and they were standing under the wisteria trellis in the courtyard. It's really extraordinary, I just feel that the moves are strange, it's not an ordinary effort, if it is on the battlefield, it can kill the enemy by surprise."

Pei You smiled and said, "Where did you get such a good sheet music?"

Qin Fei said: "Speaking of this, it's even more interesting. I rode back from the countryside yesterday. At the intersection in front of Taolin last time, I saw two groups of people fighting from a distance. When I walked in, I saw a group of people in black clothes and black pants. The man took the knife to kill the comprador businessman. The man in brocade clothes was about the same age as you and me. He was beaten and rolled all over the floor begging for mercy. Li, the guy who had a lot of people and was holding a knife, actually had no kung fu, and I beat them back before the time for a cup of tea, so I saved him. It turned out that the young man was called Qin Shanbao, and his family had been in business for three generations. I followed my old family back and came to Sangyang from the south to resell some tea. This happened unexpectedly. He thanked me for many benefits, but I didn't accept them. He was very unwilling, and finally found two The family handed down the original fragment, I saw that it was not a valuable thing, and the score was really interesting, so I took it away."

After hearing this, Yu and Pei nodded their heads and said in admiration: "Sure enough, Li Yang is a dragon and a phoenix among people. He is chivalrous and brave, and he is a general."

Qin Fei smiled and waved his hands and said, "Don't mention it, I swore to be a general when I was young, but now I can only lie here and memorize the Four Books and Five Classics. How can a general memorize these. Every time I think about it, I feel depressed."

The three of them were talking, when Lin Zhong came in and said, "Brothers, is lunch already?"

Pei You turned back and smiled and said, "I just used it. I was standing up to digest my food. I was thinking of looking for you later, but I happened to be here." I saw him holding a yellow thing with green leaves on it. , asked: "What are you carrying?"

Lin Zhong raised the things in his hands and said with a smile: "This is pineapple, a kind of fruit from Ryukyu. It was sent by my father's friend. It was the first time I saw it. I thought that my brothers might not have eaten it, so I brought it to everyone. Is it not sweet to taste?"

Speaking of the crowd arriving at Pei You's room, Lin Zhong called Sheng'er to cut pineapples with a knife, Pei You then told him how Sheng'er was driven away and why Yue'e threw herself into the lake.After hearing this, Lin Zhong covered his face and cried, and murmured: "You really are a poor girl, why did you lose your life because of this?"

Everyone persuaded again, and then they stopped.Pei You personally took the knife and handed it to him, Lin Zhong took the knife and was stunned for a while, seeing everyone looking at him, Fang said embarrassedly: "I came out in a hurry, I forgot to ask them how it was prepared."

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, Yu Bing and Qin Fei shook their heads and said they hadn't seen it before, Pei You took the pineapple to look at it, but felt that the tentacles were hard and prickly, weighed it heavy and thick, thought for a while and smiled: "When I was young, my father never A kind of fruit brought back from southern China is called coconut. It is round and heavy. It needs to peel off the thick skin to get a shell ten times larger than a walnut, but it is smoother than the walnut shell. The juice from the pineapple is here. Since this pineapple is also from the southern country, let’s peel it and have a look.”

While talking, he held a knife to remove the hard leaves on the top of the pineapple, and then used a horizontal knife to test the thickness of the skin on the pineapple. Not wanting to save much effort, he cut a pineapple in half, and the sour fragrance overflowed instantly .Now that the pass has been reached, Lin Zhong said with a smile: "Brother Fei, let me try." While taking the knife, he took a green plate, and slowly cut off the yellow-orange pineapple meat and put it on the plate. A plate is filled in a short while.

Lin Zhong pushed the plate to the center of the table and said with a smile, "Brothers, come and taste it first."

Qin Fei picked up a piece and ate it, chewed it twice, and remained silent.Pei You also ate a piece, meditating silently.Seeing the two of them like this, Yu Bing was puzzled, took a bite himself, and frowned slightly.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lin Zhong ate a piece, and as soon as he ate it, he exclaimed, "Oh, why is it so sour, it makes my tongue hurt a little."

Everyone laughed, and no one ate the rest of the pineapples. Pei You took a teapot and poured tea for everyone. Lin Zhong was very annoyed when he couldn't present the treasure, so he said angrily, "It must be that our way of eating is wrong, or we have to pair it with something else. It's unknown if we eat together."

Everyone knew that he was annoyed, and they all said, "Very."

Lin Zhong said again: "I also want to go to the southern country to work as a comprador, and I will be on my way soon."

Everyone felt that it was very sudden, Pei You was surprised and said: "You are only so old, and Uncle is too anxious. This trip will last for a year or so, no child can experience it."

Lin Zhong said with a smile: "Song Guanshi is with me, how can I go alone. It's not all because of my father, but also my own intentions. In the past two years, I have also learned business matters from my family. It won’t look good if I mess around like this, and I don’t study for exams, so it’s better to go to experience more experience as soon as possible. Second, it’s better to leave home, because my father won’t be able to beat me if he wants to.”

Everyone asked him when he was leaving, where he was going, etc. Lin Zhong said one by one, and set a time for practice, and they all dispersed.

The author has something to say:

Lin Zhong is about to leave his youth, he is the youngest and the one who lacks love the most, it's so pitiful.
