On the morning of the 22nd, it was raining heavily.
Shitou was carrying a blue egg - slowly walking towards the palace.
Every few steps he took, he stopped to look at the basket (to see if the eggs on the basket were rotten).
Because it was raining, the road was full of potholes and muddy.
As he walked, his feet slipped and his whole body leaned forward.
His right hand quickly rested on the ground.
He turned to look at the basket, not only exhaled, but also sighed: Fortunately, the basket did not touch the ground.
He stood up and walked to the ditch nearby to "wash".
He thought: A little further ahead is the main road, and there are still a few steps to go before reaching the road...
He pulled off his raincoat and continued to move forward.
After a while, he arrived 50 meters away from the palace.
He glanced around and saw a woman in white clothes in the alley next to her. Next to the woman stood a man. Their hands were holding each other tightly. The woman's figure and back were undoubtedly the Seventh Madam.
He lowered his head and coughed deliberately, cough cough~
The seventh lady quickly raised her hand.
She turned around and saw Stone coming towards her.
Her hands trembled and she said politely: Hello, little master!
Shitou raised his head and said with a smile: Madam Seven is polite.
The Seventh Madam introduced: Little Master, this is me, my colleague, whose surname is Ma, and whose only name is the word "shu". He sometimes teaches.
"Ah! He is a teacher, a teacher. I admire the teacher the most." Shitou stretched out his hand to shake the equestrian's hand.
Ma Shu held Shi Shi's hand and said: Nice to meet you, nice to meet you.
The seventh lady shouted: This is the little master that everyone praises - Shitou.
The horseman continued: My master's wisdom has spread far and wide, and he has been heard for a long time. I am lucky enough to meet you today. It is really a blessing to the horseman.
Shitou smiled and said: He is indeed an intellectual, and he does not forget to be precise when speaking.
"However, Shitou is not very old, how can his wisdom spread far and wide!" Shitou continued:
Equestrian explained: Little Master, you are in Fengxian Town...
"Little Master, is your basket full of eggs?" Madam Seven asked:
Shitou responded: Yes, Mrs. Six has given birth to a child. According to the custom of rural people, I will bring something to replenish her body.
Equestrian praised: My master is really thoughtful.
Shitou said: Officer Wang was so kind to my family, and I am like this today - and it should be.
The seventh lady called out: "I'm tired of standing outside, let's go inside and talk."
Shitou asked: Madam Seven, please!
The seventh lady asked: "My dear master, please!"
Ma Ju said: It was a joy to meet my little master originally, but I didn’t expect that we would have to say goodbye again in a hurry. I hope we still have a chance to meet each other, and we will open our hearts...
"Opportunities are everywhere. Let's go into the palace and chat." Shitou interrupted:
Ma Shu waved his hand and said, "My lord, how can a place like the palace allow people to come and go at will?"
Of course, except the little master.
Shitou responded: Teacher Ma, there is something in your words.
Ma Ju said: My dear, the police officer Wang who lives here is a person of high status. I am a scholar, and his status and mine are not equal.
However, I don't like to associate with such people.
Shitou laughed and said: I have to say, you have quite a character.
"Little Master, let's go in." Madam Seven shouted:
Shitou said: Teacher Ma's words are very suitable for my temper. I don't like to make friends with such people. I always feel uncomfortable when I get along with them. When I talk to them, I talk more about superficial remarks.
Equestrian thanked: Thank you for your understanding, little master!
Shitou called: Teacher Ma, since you don't plan to see Officer Wang, let's leave here.
Equestrian took two steps back, bowed and said: Goodbye, little master!
Shitou lifted his feet and replied: Goodbye, Teacher Ma!
The seventh lady opened her umbrella and followed the stone.
"Ma Li, Ma Li, open the door." Shitou shouted:
Li Ma heard the sound of the stone and replied: "Little master, wait a minute, the servant will come."
The seventh lady said: Little Master, give me the basket. You have been carrying the basket for so long. Your hands...
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a few eggs! It's not heavy." Shitou said:
"Little Master, please give me the basket!" Li Ma pushed the iron door and called:
Shitou said: No, no, no, you are from the grandma generation, and if I let you take my things, who will I become!
Li Ma replied: I don’t care who you become! I am a servant and I see guests carrying things!
Shitou continued: I am not a guest.
Li Ma responded: You are not a guest, you are the host.
Shitou said helplessly: Li Ma, can you!
Li Ma said: Little Master, I have to take the egg to the kitchen, please give it to me!
Shitou glanced at Madam Seven and said: Here.
Mother Li took the basket and said, "Little Master, you and Mrs. Seventh go to the living room and sit down."
Shitou held up his feet and said with a smile: "The seventh lady will go first."
"Little Master, come and sit, come and sit." The fourth lady saw Shitou walking in and shouted:
Shitou smiled and said politely: Hello, everyone.
"Brother, brother." Yi'er ran towards the stone in large strides.
Shitou picked up Yi'er and called out: Yi'er, did you listen to your mother today?
"I'm very obedient. I didn't make my mother angry." Yi'er hugged Shitou's head and kissed it.
"My young master, please take your seat." The seventh lady shouted:
Yi'er let go of her hand and echoed: Brother, sit over there.
Shitou put his arm around Yi'er and went to the table and said: Yi'er, you're not young anymore, it's time for you to go to school!
Yi'er was stunned and said: Me! !
The fourth lady poured the tea and pushed it to the stone.
Shitou thanked: Thank you, Fourth Madam!
Yi'er said: My brother asked me to study, so I will study!
"I'm not asking you to read, but you have to read. Reading can acquire knowledge, enrich life, and expand one's cognition." Shi Shi argued:
Yi'er pulled a face and muttered: I understand.
The fourth lady warned: Yi'er, from now on, you must study hard.
Yi'er responded: I am very attentive now, I can even write.
Shitou smiled and said: Sister Yi'er can write!
The fourth lady then said: Hers is a ghost-drawing talisman.
Yi'er pouted and said angrily: "Mother, I won't pay attention to you anymore."
Ha ha······
The seventh lady held back her laughter and said: Children should hold more pens and master the technique of holding pens, which is beneficial and harmless to writing.
The fourth lady called out: "Seventh sister is right."
However, Yi'er is not as smart as Fifth Sister and Seventh Sister!
"Fourth sister is joking! Fifth sister and I are not smart. We just studied for a few more years than the other sisters and know a little more than you." The seventh lady poured tea and replied:
"It's not just a little! That's a lot, like we haven't read the book..." Shitou interrupted:
The seventh lady was surprised and said: The young master has never read a book!
"The young master looks gentle and polite, and his speech and behavior are decent. He doesn't look like someone who has never studied." The seventh lady continued:
"So, the young master is a heavenly being." Officer Wang came over and continued:
One after another, the table was filled with Western food.
Shitou replied: Officer Wang, you don't need to compliment me, what am I capable of! I know in my heart that all I have is two pounds of strength.
Officer Wang said: Young master, you are too arrogant to belittle yourself.
The seventh lady echoed: My dear master, your personal charm is not the two pounds of strength!
Officer Wang sat on the stool and said, "Master, please use it!"
Shitou glanced at the table and shouted: "Everyone, come over and eat."
Yu Ma picked up the bread and gave it to everyone piece by piece.
Officer Wang said: "As I said just now, I have never read a book, yet I can stand at such a height at such a young age!" The intelligence in the little master's heart is evident.
Let me ask: where does the word "compliment" come from!
Shitou smiled evilly and said: The dumb is smart, the dumb is smart.
The seventh lady responded: The young master is saying that we are all worse than dumb.
Shitou was stunned and said: This!
The seventh lady smiled and said: You are kidding!
"Qing'er (Seventh Madam), here." Officer Wang grabbed a piece of bread and said:
The seventh lady said: I don’t want it, I’m full.
Officer Wang asked: Qing'er, you came back so early today! Do you still want to rush back to work?
Mrs. Seven replied: I'm not going to work. There's nothing to do in school today! I took a leave of absence from the principal. When I was about to come back, I suddenly felt a little dizzy, so a colleague escorted me back. Unfortunately, we met the principal at the door...
"Why don't your colleague come in and sit down?" Officer Wang called:
The seventh lady replied: He has to go back to school to be on duty, so he will!
Shitou changed the subject and said: How is the sixth lady's health? The kid is still healthy!
"They are fine. Mother and child are safe. I was holding the baby in the room just now. The baby is chubby. He eats when he is full and sleeps. He eats when he wakes up. He is very cute." Officer Wang's face was filled with joy.
Shitou smiled and said: Health is more important than anything else! Just be healthy.
Mother Li stepped forward and said: Master, just now I sent a basket of eggs to the kitchen!
Officer Wang bowed and said: My dear master, there is nothing missing in our house! Why should you!
"Officer Wang, this is the etiquette in the countryside, unless you dislike it..." Shitou responded:
"Little Master, how could I dislike it! I can't bear the trouble of Little Master and his family!" Shitou interrupted:
Shitou continued: Officer Wang, I don’t want to say more about those polite words. They are the thoughts of our whole family.
Officer Wang thanked him: Thank you! Thanks!
"By the way, this is what I asked you to do!" Shitou said blankly:
Officer Wang replied: Don't worry, little master, the matter has been taken care of.
Shitou replied: Officer Wang, thank you for your trouble.
Officer Wang said: It is an honor for me to serve the host.
"Dad, my brother asked me to go to school." Yi'er pulled Officer Wang's pants and shouted:
Officer Wang supported Yi'er's shoulders and said: Yi'er, do you want to go to school?
Yi'er responded: I don't want to go to school, I want to stay with my mother.
Officer Wang laughed and said: Are you stupid?
Yi'er continued: My brother wants me to go to school, so I will go to school.
Officer Wang looked at the stone and called: "Little Master."
"Yier, if you read more books, it will be easier to find a job in the future." Shitou said:
Yi'er came close to the stone and said: I will study hard, just like my brother, and be a polite person.
Shitou smiled and said: Don't be like my brother! My brother is a "good student".
The fourth lady was puzzled and said: My dear master, what does "cow student" mean?
Shitou explained: When I was young, I liked catching crabs, catching loaches, and reading...
"My master's family was not well-off at that time, so he didn't have the opportunity to go to school." Officer Wang said:
Shitou replied: There are also reasons for this.
The most important thing is that I have a wild temper and do not focus on studying. If I go to study, I will definitely get the first place in the exam.
"You must study hard, and you will be like my little master in the future..." The seventh lady said:
"It's okay to be like me. I'm at the bottom of the list." Shitou continued:
The seventh lady argued: How could he be at the bottom? You just said "first"!
Shitou replied: I mean "first" from the bottom.
The seventh lady smiled and said: "The young master is really humorous."
"Haha~"
The fourth lady smiled and said: To be honest, strange people must have strange encounters. Others cannot imitate the little master's intelligence.
"I should have come out of the living room a long time ago. I was suffocated in my room." Mrs. Six stood in the corridor on the second floor and shouted:
Then, the third lady helped the sixth lady downstairs.
Officer Wang shouted: Li'er (Mrs. Six), walk slower and take the child down together.
The sixth lady turned her head and called: Second sister, go and bring the child over.
Shitou asked: Officer Wang, what is the name of the child born to Mrs. Six?
Officer Wang replied: I haven’t named the child yet.
I think, let the little master choose the name for the child.
Shitou said: No, no, Officer Wang is the father of the child, how can I take over for him!
Officer Wang then said: Master, I let you take it, there is no way to talk about overstepping my authority.
On the other hand, you are kind to my family. You can help the child name it. It is a blessing to the child and my family.
"My husband is right! Please don't refuse, my dear master!" Madam Six asked:
Shitou salutes: Hello ladies!
The second, third and sixth ladies all said in unison: "You're welcome, young master!"
Shitou came close to the second lady, touched the child's cheek, and said with a smile: The child is very cute.
Officer Wang asked: "Little Master, please give me your name!"
Shitou said embarrassedly: Officer Wang, aren't you making things difficult for me? I!
Officer Wang bowed and said, "I don't dare. Please give me a name for my son."
Shitou said helplessly: Officer Wang, I understand your thoughts, and I also know the good intentions of all the ladies. However, I, Shitou, have little talent and little knowledge. I can’t even name my own child well. How dare I go there? For Mr. Ling!
Officer Wang commented: The young master is humble! The name that the young master chose for Ling Qianjin was nice, simple, innovative and impressive.
Shitou scratched his head and said: So it seems! If I don't think of a name for the child today, Officer Wang won't let me go.
Officer Wang bowed and said: "Young master, you are joking!" My dear, please think of me!
Shi Shi took a sip of tea and asked: Min'er's name?
Officer Wang called out: Min'er's name is Jiamin, Yi'er's name is Jiayi, Rong'er's name is Jiarong, Qi'er's name is...
"Officer Wang, you don't need to say anything. I met your father and met you all in Fengxian Town because of the word - Yuan. So I took the word - Yuan as my name, but Yuan sounds a bit... It's awkward, I changed the word "yuan" to the word "ming". I hope that when the child grows up, he will understand things and do things openly and aboveboard." Shitou stretched out a hand to block Officer Wang.
Officer Wang thanked him: Thank you, little master, for the name!
The second lady smiled and said: Ming'er, be good Ming'er! Thank you quickly, little master!
Ming'er's head shook left and right, but she didn't cry.
The second lady laughed and said: "Mr. Ming'er, Ming'er was shaking her head happily when she heard that the young master had named him."
hehe! !
The sixth lady walked up to the second lady and teased: "Ming'er, please smile, smile."
"Wow wow wow" Ming'er cried loudly.
The sixth lady said: Tomorrow, you must be hungry! Mom, come and feed you.
Officer Wang called out: Li'er, there are many people here and it's noisy. You, the second and third children, go upstairs.
Shitou continued: "Yes, yes, it's quieter upstairs. Children don't like too much noise. Children must be taken care of carefully."
The ladies bowed to the stone and walked upstairs calmly.
"Master, the food is here." Yu Ma whispered:
Officer Wang said: Bring the food quickly.
Shitou glanced at the clock on the wall and said to himself: Time flies so fast, and it’s 12 noon in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, the servants prepared tableware in an orderly manner.
Officer Wang shouted: Master, it’s time to eat!
Shitou picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: Let's eat together.
Yi'er squeezed to Shi Shi and said coquettishly: "I want my brother to hold me and eat."
Officer Wang shouted: "Yi'er, go over to your mother's side. I want to eat. How can I eat while I'm holding you?"
Shitou picked up Yi'er and replied: It's not a problem, it's not a problem.
Officer Wang said helplessly: Little Master, she’s a kid!
Shitou hugged Yi'er with one hand and ate in small bites...
