Scholar’s Sweetheart - Chapter 451

It was two months later when I rushed back to the capital. It was late autumn in the capital.

On the day when they arrived in the capital, it was drizzling with autumn rain. Although it was shivering with autumn wind, it was not as cold and dry as Shahe county.

The twins have not been back to the capital for a long time. Sitting in the carriage, they look at the prosperous capital, the clean and tidy Qingshi streets, and the rows of shops along the streets. They are all blue brick houses, unlike Shahe County, most of them are built of loess.

The broad streets are full of gorgeous carriages and sedan cars, as well as passers-by. The faces of passers-by are full of happiness and smile, and they don’t know what happy things they have met.

“The capital is better.” Steamed bread said thoughtfully.

Hearing the speech, Lu Yunkai raised his head from the book: “why do you say that?”

Steamed bread observed carefully, and said all the things he saw along the way: “the capital is prosperous, which can’t be compared with other states. Moreover, the peddlers Hawking along the street are wearing soft cotton cloth, unlike what they saw when they came back all the way, most of them are wearing patched coarse cloth clothes.”

Scroll way: “brother, you also said here is the capital, the capital is naturally incomparable elsewhere.”

Steamed bread well a: “so I say or the capital is good.”

“Now there is more and more cotton in Xinzhou. It should not be long before all the people can wear soft cotton clothes.” In fact, song Xintong wants to say that it’s not because the people can’t wear it, but because they can’t bear it.

During the reign of Baofeng, the great Zhou emperor had good governance, good weather, and peace for the country and the people. Everything was developing in a good direction. As long as he didn’t have a good life, he would live well.

Huajuan looked back, “I still remember the pancakes in the alley were delicious, and I don’t know if they are still there.”

Song Xintong said with a smile, “do you still remember?”

“Remember, East Street’s bacon, South Street’s barbecue, and west city’s wonton…” huajuan, which has grown up, is not as greedy as it was when it was young, but it still likes delicious food. Even in Shahe County, where resources are poor, it can always find a way to make delicious food.

Huajuan pursed her lips. “I’m more and more eager to eat. Tomorrow, my brother and I will go out and find something to eat.”

Song Xintong said, “tomorrow is not good. Tomorrow you two have to go to the academy to see the master.”

Before returning to Beijing, Lu Yunkai asked familiar officials to apply for two places in the famous academies in Beijing. After the twins went to see the master, they could enter the academy to study.

“Can’t it be a few days?” The scroll drooped, a little disappointed.

“You have been delayed for one month. You can’t delay any longer.” Song Xintong paused. “Before that, I said that I wanted to learn from my father and two uncles. Generally, I won the imperial examination and became an official? Now I’m thinking and being lazy again? ”

This year, Dabao and Xiaobao took the imperial examination again, and both of them won the entrance examination. Although they are the second class, it is not easy. There are tens of thousands of people in the reference examination, but only 300 of them are selected. It is not easy for them to stand out from the talented people. It is also a great honor to speak out.

Now they have gone to the south to be county officials. It will take three or five years for Mo to meet again.

“We’ve just returned to Beijing, and the big uncle and the little uncle have left again. It’s a good fortune.” Huajuan groaned.

Song Xintong chuckled and said, “do you know what nature means?”

“Nature knows.” Scroll way: “Niang you don’t look down upon a person, my knowledge is very good.”

“Is it?”

“Of course, it’s true. Look at it, mother. Next year I’ll test a child student for you.” Huajuan is very confident, “in a few years, my brother and I will come back to be the top three in the exam, and then we will be the top three in the exam!”

Song Xintong smiles, raises his hand and points Lu Yunkai’s arm. “Look, your son has many ambitions.”

“Good thing.” Lu Yunkai nodded with a smile in his eyes, “just don’t turn into empty talk.”

Huajuan pulled his brother’s steamed bread, “brother, we will never brag.”

Steamed bread nodded, “Dad, you look at it.”

Lu Yunkai nodded: “OK, we’ll see.”

A group of low-key through the downtown, arrived at hiding in the quiet lane lane of Lu Fu.

Lu Mu and Nuan Nuan have been waiting for the gate early. They are looking forward to the outside. When they see a few carriages entering the alley, their eyes show joy one after another.

“Mom and dad.” When wennuan saw a group of people coming out of the carriage, they ran excitedly and hugged song Xintong, “Niang, I miss you so much.”

“I miss you too.” Song Xintong hugged wennuan tightly. After two years, he finally saw his own little cotton padded jacket again. “How are you at home?”

“Well, everything’s fine.” Looking at my parents and two younger brothers with a warm smile, “my younger brothers are growing as tall as I am.”

“Sister, we are as tall as you.” Huajuan grinned and looked at the elder sister at home. She was so beautiful, but she was a little short.

Wennuan didn’t know what his younger brothers thought. He was pulling song Xintong excitedly, “Mom and Dad, I’ve got your yard cleaned up. Let’s see if I’ve arranged it well.”

“Well, I’ll see it later.” Song Xintong and Lu Yunkai go to Lu Mu and greet her.

Mother Lu was happy with tears in her eyes, “just go home, just go home.”

“Grandma, we miss you so much.” The picture scroll with sweet mouth ran to hold her mother and said, “grandma has never been there. We are empty in our hearts. Now when we see grandma, we feel comfortable in our hearts.”

Mantou also came forward to support Lu Mu, “grandmother, grandson is back.”

“Good kids, all good kids.” Mother Lu clapped the twins’ hands and made them enter the house quickly. Don’t stand at the door.

Enter the gate, through the quiet corridor, carved against the fence, pavilions, small water, each with elegant taste.

Looking at the familiar scenery, song Xintong was filled with emotion: he came back at last and should not go this time.

“It’s beautiful here.” At the age of four, the twins followed song Xintong to Shahe county. The houses in Shahe county are all rough Adobe houses. Even if they are carefully cleaned up, they are not as clean and bright as the one with inverted seats here.

“This is our home.” Wennuan listened to the envious tone of the two younger brothers. Sour and astringent, she nodded on their foreheads. “You were born here, remember?”

“Of course I do.” Steamed bread road.

Scroll also nodded, “remember, our home is very big.”

“Fortunately, I still remember. I thought you only remember the wonton in Xishi.” Song Xintong said with a smile.

Steamed bread nodded and echoed: “when I came back just now, my brother read the chaos of the western market.”

Lu’s mother couldn’t help laughing.

Huajuan embarrassed to cover his face, oh, don’t laugh at him! He is so big, he also wants face.

With the sound of laughter, the family will be closer.

The family first went back to the house to wash, but just halfway up the road, Nuan Nuan pointed to the amusement park that her mother had made for their sister and brother, and asked the twins, “do you remember the sand slide in the yard over there?”

The twins thought about it and soon remembered, “sister, let’s go and have a look now.”

“Good.” Wennuan and song Xintong said, then took two younger brothers to the amusement park.

Song Xintong looked at the three brothers and sisters walking shoulder to shoulder, with a happy smile in his eyes, “I’m also worried that Nuan Nuan has been living in the capital for the past two years and will be alienated from his brothers. Now it seems that I think too much.”

“They are brothers and sisters. How could they be estranged in just two years? I said you thought too much.” Lu Yunkai looks at her daughter in a pink pleated skirt and hairpin. Although she is only 11 or 12 years old, she looks like a big girl.

They went into the main room and looked at the layout of the room. There were newly picked daisies on the tea table beside the window. The white petals were pure and beautiful, and overlapped with the green branches and leaves, which was very elegant.

The servant girl waiting on one side said: “madam, this is picked and inserted by miss in the morning. Miss knows that you like to put a bunch of elegant flowers in the room.”

“I have a heart.” Song Xintong asked some questions about wennuan. Knowing that she was all right, she was more and more like a lady, and she was very satisfied.

Before he came back, song Xintong had been worried about not having his parents around him. He was afraid that Nuan Nuan’s learning was bad and long crooked. But now it seems that Nuan Nuan is very clever and sensible, and has been developing in the direction they want. So he was relieved, “my mother teaches Nuan Nuan very well.”

“Thanks to you, too.” Lu Yun opened the way. Had it not been for his wife’s instruction from childhood, and had it not been for her letters in the past two years, Nuan Nuan would not have been as warm and moving as her name.

After grooming, song Xintong lay on his exclusive reclining chair and looked at the trees outside through the glazed windows. In the past few years, the trees grew up a lot, and the branches and leaves became more luxuriant. The huge canopy shrouded most of the courtyard under its protection.

Autumn wind blowing, leaves clattering sound.

Listening to the soft wind, song Xintong gradually fell asleep. Before she fell asleep, the last thought in her mind was: she really came back.
