Pastoral little master

200 Ambiguous
Seeing Shen Nan, Qiduo's family was very enthusiastic.

Washed the fruit, served some snacks, and made hot tea.

But Liuju and Erxia pursed their lips and looked at Qiduo and laughed.

Qiduo was baffled by their laughter.
Faced with everyone's enthusiasm, Shen Nan blushed slightly and waved her hands, "Uncle and Aunt, don't be so polite, I just said something and left."

"What?" Qiduo asked.

"Some students in our academy need lotus roots. Can you send them the seven flowers?" Shen Nan asked.

Han Hewen's popularity in the academy is good, and after his small mouth lobbying, students from wealthy families are willing to buy it.

Each person didn't buy much, but the total amount was nearly two thousand catties.

Qiduo should be happy to be able to sell lotus root, but the first thing she thought of was the incident last time.

She quickly waved her hands, "You should still study at ease, don't worry about selling lotus root, we have our own way."

Shen Nan gave her a light look, knowing that she cared about herself, and felt warm in her heart, "Don't worry, it was Han Hewen who asked someone to talk about it, and it has nothing to do with me."

This is to disregard his relationship with this matter.

"Besides, Han Hewen has made an agreement with others. If you don't agree to sell it, then Han Hewen has spoken plain words. How can he gain a foothold in the academy in the future?" Shen Nan said again.

Qiduo knew that he really wanted to help, so how could he refuse when he talked about this point.

I just hope that he will not be affected by family affairs again this time.

Seeing Qiduo's response, Shen Nan's expression softened slightly, and he turned to talk to Liu Lang to see if he had made any progress in his studies recently.

Liu Lang showed Shen Nan the words he wrote recently.

Shen Nan carefully looked at the words written by Liu Lang, every stroke and every stroke was very serious.

"Uncle and aunt, it's time to send Liu Lang to study in the academy. He is not young, so don't delay." Shen Nan looked at Liu Lang's words and suggested to Tan Dejin and his wife.

Tan Dejin nodded hurriedly, "Brother Nan, you are right, we have also discussed it, and we plan to send Liulang to the academy after autumn."

Shen Nan frowned slightly, "Why don't you go now?"

Qiduo asked a little puzzled, "The academy started early, isn't it too late for Liu Lang to go now?"

Shen Nan looked at her, "Our academy added a new Mongolian class this year. It hasn't been long since the class started. According to Liulang's current level, he can go to study now. It should be better to go to the academy and have a special teacher to teach."

"Really, that's great." Qiduo was very pleasantly surprised, looking at her parents, "Father and mother, what do you think, Liu Lang's body is almost better now, it's time to study, anyway, he can't be used for family affairs help."

Liu Lang's eyes were flooded, and he looked at his parents expectantly, hoping that they would nod.

Studying in the academy has always been his greatest wish.

He hopes that one day he can be as outstanding as Shen Nan and become a talented person praised by everyone.
Tan Dejin and Xu's faces were also full of joy. Of course they are willing to have such a good thing.

However, Mrs. Xu was still a little worried, "It's just that Liu Lang has to take medicine every day, and the carriage bumps every day. I'm worried that he won't be able to take it."

Qiduo objected, "Mother, this is not a problem. We can let Liulang live in the academy. If you are really worried, mother, you can ask someone to take care of his daily life. Brother Nan is already familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of nine. Liulang It can't be delayed any longer."

The ancients were enlightened early, and most people started reading at the age of four or five. Even in the previous life, they should be in the third grade at the age of nine.

According to the current conditions of the family, it is still affordable to buy a servant.
Shen Nan also said, "You can buy a servant to take care of Liulang. If Liulang really feels unwell, there is a medical center next to the academy. It is relatively close, and it is more convenient to be at home. Uncles and aunts can rest assured."

He didn't come back from the academy on weekdays, and Shen Huairen's personal servant would always take care of him.

Almost all the students staying in the academy have a servant to take care of their daily life, not to mention that Liu Lang is still young, so he needs a servant to take care of everything.
Liu Lang pursed his lips, gently took Xu Shi's hand, and begged with blinking eyes, "Mother, I want to go to the academy to study."

Tan Dejin looked at Mrs. Xu, "This is a good opportunity. We should let Liu Lang go. According to what Brother Nan said, we should buy Liu Lang a servant. Liu Lang has been ill for many years and has been delayed."

Although Xu was reluctant, but for Liu Lang's future, she had no choice but to agree.

Shen Nan told Qiduo that if they want to buy a servant, they can go to Ren Yazi in the town or county.

Tan Dejin and Xu thanked Shen Nan.

"Uncle and aunt, you're welcome. I'll go and talk to my father tomorrow. After everything is arranged, Liu Lang can go to the academy to study." Shen Nan's face was warm, and his voice was as clear as a spring.

Tan Dejin and his wife thank you again.

Liu Lang looked excited, and hurriedly followed behind to say thank you.
"Brother Nan, is it hard to study in the academy?" Qiduo asked Shen Nan's study situation in the academy casually, and wanted to learn more about it, which would be good for Liu Lang.

Shen Nan said softly, "I will take the provincial examination next year, and my studies will be tighter than before, but I don't think it is too hard... Both the teachers and classmates in the academy are very kind and friendly. However, recently the academy has come down. If you are an inexperienced person, next time you go to Liulang, you should stay away from him."

"Since you are an ignorant student, why not stay at home, why did you enter the academy?" Qiduo pouted and asked.

"It's said that he didn't want to study, but was forced by his family to enter the academy. After entering the academy, he made troubles everywhere. He was born with a good personality, and he was also quite smart. If he can study hard, he will be able to make a fortune in the future." Shen Nan pursed her thin lips lightly, with some regret in her words.

"Oh, there are too many ignorant dudes." Qi Duo sighed.

Xu's eyes wandered for a moment, and he didn't know what he thought of.

Shen Nan said a few more words, and handed a piece of paper with the address of the classmate who bought the lotus root to Qiduo, asking her to deliver the lotus root at the address on it tomorrow, and then got up to leave.
Qiduo remembered the purse last time, Erxia helped her embroider it, and it happened to be given to him.

She took the initiative to get up and send Shen Nan out of the yard.

At the gate of the courtyard, Qiduo took out the purse and handed it to Shen Nan, "The purse you asked for last time has been embroidered."

There was a smile in Shen Nan's eyes, she happily took it, and looked at it carefully.

Judging by the bright light of the lantern on the door, I can see that the stitches are fine and smooth, and it can be seen that the person who embroidered the purse is ingenious and has extraordinary embroidery skills.

Looking at it, his complexion sank again, he raised his eyes and asked Qiduo, "You embroidered this?"

"En." Qiduo hummed softly, her voice was a little weak.

"Liar." Shen Nan scolded bitterly, then handed the purse to Qiduo, "Since you don't want to embroider for me, then that's fine, don't fool me with other people's embroidery, I don't care."

The voice was muffled, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Qiduo rolled her eyes, "How do you know it wasn't embroidered by me?" There was no mark on it.

Shen Nan glared at her, "You said you couldn't embroider last time, but you can embroider so well in just a few days, think me stupid."

Seven speechless flat mouths.

He reached out to take the purse handed over by Shen Nan.

Shen Nan flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, turned around and left.

"Wait." Qiduo had no choice but to call him.

Shen Nan turned to look at her.

Qiduo took out a royal blue brocade pouch from the other armhole, and handed it to him awkwardly, "Here, I embroidered this, it's too ugly, I can't take it out."

Shen Nan's eyes lit up, and she reached out to take the purse.

Looking at the embroidery on the purse, a smile appeared on his handsome face, and the brows were lightly raised.

It was embroidered with the same design and color as the pouch just now, but the stitches were a little skewed, not smooth enough, and looked a bit awkward.
When Qiduo asked Erxia to embroider a purse last time, Liuju forced her to follow suit.

She disagreed, so Liuju told Erxia not to help her embroider.

In desperation, she had no choice but to learn from behind, and then embroidered such a thing.

Seeing the expression on Shen Nan's face, Qiduo felt a little ashamed and was about to be laughed at.

"Well, it's ugly." Shen Nan nodded.

However, this time he did not return it to Qiduo, but solemnly hung it on his waist.

Looking up at Qiduo, "Go back."

Then he walked away happily, with an easy pace.

With such an ugly purse still hanging on his body, he is not afraid of being laughed at by others.

Qiduo looked at Shen Nan's back, a little depressed, really worried that someone would ask him where the purse came from, and he would tell others that it was embroidered by her, so shameful.

I used to laugh at Tan Guihua, but it will be others' turn to laugh at me in the future.

Alas, the child!
Qiduo shook her head helplessly, smiled, took the lantern at the door, closed the courtyard door and entered the house.

Erxia and Liuju are sitting on the bed doing needlework, when they see Qiduo coming in, they look at her and smile.

"Duo, did you give the purse to Shen Nan?" Liuju asked with a smile.

"Yeah, I've given it." Qiduo nodded, loosened her hair, her satin-like black hair was spread out, vertical to her waist.

"Hey." Liuju winked at Erxia, and the two laughed muffled.
Seeing them laughing, Qiduo got a little hairy, took off her coat and went to bed, glared at the two sisters annoyed, "Eldest sister, second sister, why do you two always smile so weirdly, is there something wrong with me?"

"Pfft!" Erxia smiled gracefully.

"Hehe." Liuju was not so gentle, her crisp laughter rang like a silver bell.

"You..." Qiduo pouted, she really didn't know what was worth laughing at.

Seeing that she was annoyed, Er Xia quickly suppressed her laugh, and patted Liu Ju lightly, "Ju, don't laugh."

"Duo, why can't we laugh, hehe. That's right, just now you gave Shen Nan a purse, did he praise you for your good embroidery?" Liuju blinked and smiled ambiguously.

Seeing the ambiguous appearance of Erxia and Liuju, Qiduo rolled her eyes and suddenly understood something.

She was stunned, did she make a mistake? How could she think so.

"No, you guys bullied me. I'll tell mother tomorrow, huh!" Qiduo gave the two sisters a hard look, then got into bed and covered her head with the quilt.

"Hey, why did we bully you, Duo, are you shy?" Liuju put down the needle and thread in her hand, and went to scratch Qiduo's itch under the quilt.

"Ah... giggle..." After Qiduo screamed, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, and laughed out loud from being scratched.

She had no choice but to get out of the bed and scratch Liuju in turn.

Liuju got up and hid behind Erxia, Qiduo went to scratch Erxia.

Erxia scratched Liuju in turn, the three sisters had a commotion, and laughter kept flying from the room.

The next day, Tan Dejin went to send lotus roots to classmate Shen Nan's house.

Qiduo, Liuju, and Erxia went to the field to pick vegetables, and Luhuapo began to cook. The meat dishes were bought in the town every day, and the vegetables were all from their own vegetable fields.

The three sisters each picked up a load of vegetables and went home, only to find three carriages parked at the gate of the yard, there were voices in the yard, and guests had come to the house.
