Chapter 11: Enlightenment
Bimozhai.
Uncle Zhong poured Shen Li a cup of tea, stood in front of Shen Li, bowed his head and said: "Sir, I have found out that this woman is named Zhou Qing, and she is an ordinary peasant girl from Qingyang Village."
Uncle Zhong paused, and then said: "If you must find something unusual about her, it is probably that she is more aggressive than ordinary peasant girls."
Shen Li had no expression on his face, holding the teacup and drinking slowly.
"What's the situation at her home?"
"Her mother died early."
Uncle Zhong briefly described the general situation of Zhou Qing's family, ". She came to buy pens and ink during the day, and she planned to let her father read."
At this point, Uncle Zhong shook his head and smiled, "The idea is good, but it is too unrealistic. How could the bookstore let her father copy books?"
Shen Li did not speak, but just nodded slightly to indicate that Uncle Zhong was fine and could leave.
As soon as Uncle Zhong left, Shen Li put down the teacup and leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.
Copying books
That means, it is very likely that he will come to the county town tomorrow?
After lying on the rattan chair with his eyes closed for a moment, Shen Li suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and walked to the bookshelf in the corner, and pulled out several books.
After pulling out the complete set of the Four Books and Five Classics, Shen Li thought for a while, lifted up his robe and squatted down, and took out a gray book from the bottom of the bookshelf.
The book had no cover, and it was not a serious book, but when he first arrived in Qinghe County, he asked someone to investigate the Qinghe County Magistrate, and this book recorded some things about the Qinghe County Magistrate.
Zhou Huaishan wanted to study, and the first test was to take the Tongsheng test. Tongsheng went to the county government for examination, and the question setter was the county magistrate and the prefect.
After finding all the books, Shen Li took the books and went to the front to find Uncle Zhong.
Uncle Zhong was stunned and looked at Shen Li in confusion, "Sir?"
Shen Li said expressionlessly: "If Miss Zhou comes to ask for the qualification to copy books tomorrow, I will agree to her. Let her take these books back to copy."
Uncle Zhong
Look at the book, look at Shen Li, look at Shen Li, look at the book.
Don't you have no idea about the girl?
Is this another idea?
Uncle Zhong's eyes glowed with anticipation.
"Sir, are you enlightened?"
Shen Li is nineteen this year. Children of his age group would be jealous, but Shen Li is still single.
It wouldn't matter if they were from a poor family, but the Shen family was not poor. They were still an uncle in Kyoto, and Shen Li himself had an official position.
It's not as good as the previous ones, but it's more than enough.
Besides, Shen Li is very talented.
But this talented person just couldn't get a wife.
The reason is outrageous.
The first beauty in Kyoto once saw Shen Li, Shen Li not only rejected others, but also was very excluding: too ugly!
After this, who would dare to go to his house to talk about matchmaking?
Shen Li's marriage has become a thorn in the side of the Shen family.
As a loyal uncle who had watched Shen Li grow up, Baba looked at Shen Li at this moment, fearing that he would get a disappointing reply. He firmly supported the counter with his hands, and then took a deep breath.
Shen Li lowered his eyes, unable to see the expression in his eyes. He was silent for a long time before he said, "I guess so."
Uncle Zhong was delighted, "What do you mean by "I guess so"? What did you see in Miss Zhou? Or, what do you think moved you about Miss Zhou?"
Miss Zhou, a country girl, is far inferior to the most beautiful woman in Kyoto.
The most beautiful woman in Kyoto is fair-skinned, beautiful, and has long legs. She is good at playing chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and wine.
Miss Zhou.
Could it be that his family's aesthetics really have a problem?
Fortunately, the master and his wife in the mansion have said that as long as their daughter-in-law is a pure girl, they don't care about her status.
Looking at Uncle Zhong's eyes, Shen Li's mouth twitched.
Moved?
Not true.
He couldn't say that when Zhou Qing helped him get on the horse last night, Zhou Qing's hand held his second brother steadily!
It really was, steadily, holding!
That moment was really
After he got on the horse, he didn't even have time to say thank you, and left in a hurry in embarrassment.
But today, seeing Zhou Qing again, he was actually excited and wanted to talk to her.
Is this considered enlightenment?
Not knowing how to answer Uncle Zhong's words, Shen Li took a breath, "She saved my life."
After that, Shen Li turned and went into the inner room.
Uncle Zhong
So, you want to marry me?
With one hand on his chin, Uncle Zhong looked at the wide-open door of the Pen and Ink Studio with a sad face.
Just then, a man with a full beard strode in.
Seeing the person clearly, Uncle Zhong's thoughts were immediately scattered, his eyes were shining, and he went to meet him, "Sir, what do you want to buy?"
"One square of Hui ink." The man walked straight to the counter and took a silver note.
"Okay, wait a moment."
Uncle Zhong took out the box of Hui ink and handed it over, "This is the Hui ink you want, the best Hui ink, this is our store."
The bearded man looked disdainful of his noisy appearance, and put Hui ink directly into his arms, and pushed the silver note inside with two fingers, "No need to change."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
As soon as he left, Uncle Zhong immediately took the silver note into the inner room.
"Sir, someone is coming from Kyoto."
Shen Li was thinking about what happened last night, and frowned when he heard it, and took the silver note.
There were several lines of densely written on the silver note. Shen Li read it, put the silver note on the candle, and burned it.
"Let's prepare the killer camp and start training as soon as possible, and strive to train an elite within a year."
Shen Li is a member of Shadow.
Shadow does not belong to the six ministries of the court, but only obeys the emperor himself.
To put it bluntly, it is a killer organization raised by the emperor.
Specializes in investigating some difficult cases for the emperor and removing some tough obstacles.
Shen Li, as gentle as jade, is a powerful sword in the emperor's hand.
Watching the banknotes burn up, Shen Li tapped his fingers on the table a few times, "Just follow the original plan."
In the original plan, they selected the mountain near Qingyang Village as their training base.
The reason why I chose this place was that it was close to the county seat, there were many poisonous and ferocious beasts on the mountain, and the forest was too dense and almost no one went up the mountain.
Thinking about the training base, Shen Li thought about Zhou Qing.
Unexpectedly, he met her.
Is this fate?
Zhou Qing, who was worried about Shen Li, was reading the words written by Zhou Huaishan.
As a dandy, he is indeed well-informed. Many of the characters he wrote about blessing and joy were things she had never seen before.
Zhou Huaishan put a big character spread on the kang with a mournful face.
"Oh my god, my hand is going to be broken. Girl, I can't write tomorrow. If I write again, my hand will be useless."
Zhou Qing carefully rolled up these words, "Then you can go to the ground tomorrow."
"Daughter, can't you feel sorry for your father and me? Can't you threaten me?"
"Is your chicken done?"
When Zhou Qing mentioned the chicken, Zhou Huaishan immediately jumped up from the kang like a carp and slid to the ground.
He picked up the tongs and prepared to clamp the chicken. The moment his eyes saw the stove, Zhou Huaishan almost screamed like a wolf.
Seeing Zhou Huaishan's face froze, Zhou Qing got off the kang and looked towards the stove.
"puff!"
There is no fire in the stove! ! !
Zhou Huaishan stuck his butt out and whined lowly while climbing on the kang.
"My chicken"
Zhou Qing couldn't help laughing and patted Zhou Huaishan on the back, "My condolences."
Zhou Huaishan. “My chicken!”
"Get some rest early. I won't be here tomorrow so you can write out the Analects silently. You can also find time to teach Pingzi the five big characters."
Zhou Huaishan.
Critical hits are doubled instantly!
If it weren't for the silence of the night, he would really want to cry.
"Then you stew the chicken early tomorrow morning." Zhou Huaishan turned to look at Zhou Qing with a look of resentment.
Zhou Qing took the chicken out of the stove and said, "How can we eat chicken every day? You really want to eat up this family. I will take this chicken as a gift tomorrow."
Shen Li gave her so many things, but she had nothing to repay.
