The masters at Xishan Academy all like Fu Qu. He is smart, studious, humble and polite. I heard that his family used to be poor, and his neighbors helped him a lot. When his parents left unexpectedly, he couldn't make it back, but his neighbors helped him make arrangements. .
So after he achieved some achievements, he never forgot the kindness of his neighbor's family. Knowing that all the elders of the neighbor's family were gone, he couldn't bear to see the orphans and widowers alone.
On impulse, he not only settled the sister-in-law next door, but also found a school for her son, which can be said to be the most benevolent thing.
Whenever Fu Qu met the admiring looks of these people, he would always smile lightly.
Someday.
His mentor was breaking up the knowledge bit by bit and feeding it to Ji Dabao. Ji Dabao learned it ten or eight times but still didn't learn it. The good-tempered old man began to be unable to keep the smile on his face.
His wife came in with a plate of pastries and asked him to rest first. He let Ji Dabao eat while he picked up the tea cup and went outside, sighing at the spring trees that had sprouted new buds.
The thing he regrets most in his life is that he accepted that boy Fu Huaijin as his student and had to take care of his children when he was a lot older.
Don't think that he doesn't know. This child's mother must have something to do with Huaijin, otherwise he would not have gone to great lengths to bring him in front of him. He said he would only teach him for a few months before, but now it is months and months!
The old man shook the tea cup in his hand and couldn't help but sigh, "The remaining cold is not over yet, spring has arrived in the mountains and rivers."
The door was gently opened, and some snow from the crack of the door came into the yard. The red door opened slightly, and a figure in white brocade appeared in front of him.
The visitor has black hair tied up in a crown, picturesque eyebrows, skin as white as jade, and an appearance as fresh as snow. He comes with a smile on his face, as if he is the clear breeze in the unchanging spring.
When the old master looked at Fu Qu, his slightly frowning brows relaxed. He sipped the tea in a small teacup and raised his beard, "Fu Huaijin, Fu Huaijin! Aren't you very busy? Why do you have time to come to see me, old man?!"
It was obvious that he was very happy to see Fu Qu, but he was a bit duplicitous.
Fu Qu saluted him respectfully, "Teacher."
"snort--"
The old lady also came out of the house when she heard the sound. She was wearing a dark brown jacket and her hair was neatly combed with silver threads. She came to the old master's side, followed his eyes to look at the people in the yard, and took pictures helplessly. Patting the old man's arm, he waved to Fu Qu, "Huaijin is here. Come into the house quickly and don't stand around with the old man."
"Thank you, Madam." Fu Qu also saluted her and followed them into the house. Ji Dabao was eating cakes on the side. From time to time, he picked up his brush and scribbled, thinking that he was studying hard and eating. Never forget to learn anything.
Look closely, he is writing about how to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake, materials, props, heat, etc.
Just analyze it from the piece he was chewing.
Fu Qu glanced at it and looked away. He was afraid that he would laugh out loud if he looked at it again. Ji Dabao was indeed Shen Lianqing's son. One was obsessed with eating and the other was obsessed with recipes.
The old master also saw the abnormal expression on Fu Qu's face. He was curious and came over to take a look. After reading it, the corner of his mouth twitched.
Rotten wood cannot be carved.
A few adults sat on one side and chatted for a while.
It was getting late and the conversation ended. Fu Qu mentioned that he came to visit his mentor and his wife and took Ji Dabao back.
The old master snorted coldly, "Come on, you live well here. Why didn't he come to pick her up before? When his sister-in-law comes, he will come and pick her up immediately."
Do you think his old man is easy to fool?
The old lady also saw what he was thinking, but she was interested in Ji Dabao's mother and the sister-in-law mentioned by Fu Qu. She asked, "When will Huai Jin bring him to us?"
As soon as these words came out, the elders acknowledged his affairs. The old master and his wife knew that Fu Qu liked his neighbor's sister-in-law, otherwise they would not have helped send their children to school and helped buy a house.
They don't care much about the world. When Fu Qu came to ask them to be a cover, they agreed without saying anything. Now it seems that good things are coming for the two of them. As the elders who have done a lot of work in the middle, it is always okay to meet each other, right?
Fu Qu smiled lightly. He folded his hands and turned his back to the elder. He bowed his head slightly and bowed, "Why don't we just set the time for tomorrow? Are you two free?"
So fast?
The old master and his wife looked at each other, but it was similar to the situation of "father-in-law meets daughter-in-law", they were naturally free at any time.

When Shen Lianqing was asked to dress up in the morning the next day, she was still confused, "What's wrong? Are you wanted? Why did you let me go out so early in the morning?"
Fu Qu picked up a hot towel from the copper basin nearby, wrung it out, and wiped her face. After wiping it, he picked up the green porcelain cover and dug out a piece of moisturizing ointment to touch her face.
The delicate grease was spread evenly on his face with the warm fingertips. He asked her to lean on his arms and look down at her, and said lightly, "I'm going to see the teacher and my wife today. The location is in the outer building of Xishan Building. That place is a little short." It's a bit far, I'm afraid of missing the time..."
"Oh." Shen Lianqing nodded. That was understandable. It seemed that Fu Qu was quite polite and actually knew to see the teacher.
"Close your eyes."
She closed her eyes obediently and felt Luo Dai gently crossing her eyebrows. Then she thought of something and grabbed Fu Qu's hand that was drawing her eyebrows. She opened her eyes wide and asked him, "Go see your teacher and wife." Why are you dragging me along?”
Fu Qu was drawing eyebrows for Shen Lianqing. He was standing behind her, with two arms crossing her shoulders as if he was hugging her.
"Lian Qing." He held Luo Dai's hand and raised her chin, and he bent down and kissed her on the lips. His brows and eyes were tempered by the breeze and the moonlight, and his expression was gentle, "Just come with me to see her. Would you like to meet the teacher?"
"I don't……"
"When you meet an elder, we are together. It doesn't matter whether you want to get married or not. What's yours is yours, and what's mine is still yours."
Shen Lian Qingfeng's eyes were like crescent moons. She curled up her mouth and immediately changed her words, "Go, go, go, I'm so happy to see the teacher!"
Shen Lianqing agreed readily. When he arrived, he almost collapsed when he saw the two old people sitting in the wing who were full of scholarly spirits, elegant and energetic.
Fu Qu helped her in time and lowered his head to ask what was wrong. Shen Lianqing shook her head and said, "It's nothing. She just overestimated her own endurance. The aura of being a teacher by example from those two people has spread from one end to the other." .
He didn't understand how a scumbag like him would feel short of breath when seeing his teacher!
"Don't be afraid." Fu Qu held her hand and reassured, "Isn't your father a scholar by the way? I remember that he also taught in Shenjiacun. Just think of your teachers and mistresses as gentlemen like your father."
Haha, Shen Lianqing's legs are weak, what nonsense is he talking about, what kind of old man is her father, who can shut himself up even after a few quarrels, compared with him?
