girl riding a horse

Chapter 16
"The best horse here is his one, and the rest can't be picked out anymore. It's not that the Xie family doesn't have a horse farm, so I can pick one in my own house later, and it's more suitable for me to give his one to me." Shen Liuzhen said solemnly.

Xie Yuan froze, looking at his tearful eyes, a little surprised.

"If Xie's family has such a big one, will your teacher not give it to you? Why don't I take you out to buy it?! I think you haven't been beaten for two days!" Father Shen anxiously raised his hand and thought again hit him.

Xie Yuan suddenly made a sound, raised his face and said, "Master, I'll just let him, and I'll pick another one." After saying that, he handed the reins of the horse in his hand to Shen Liuzhen.

Seeing Xie Yuan like this, Shen's father felt that his son was ashamed, and he gritted his teeth in hatred.

As for Shen Liuzhen, he didn't expect Xie Yuan to have such a move, so he didn't answer, but just stared at Xie Yuan with resentful eyes.

Xie Yuan understood right away, just like that day when Xie Yuan reminded Shen's father that his arm was bleeding, Shen Liuzhen also had the same expression and thought she was acting.

"Why do you look at me like that? I really gave it to you!" Xie Yuan emphasized, seeing that Shen Liuzhen didn't take the reins, he immediately let go.

Instead, he concentrated on surrounding the fence and went to watch the horses again.

Father Shen pointed at him with his finger, and muttered: "You are so disrespectful! How did I give birth to someone like you?!"

Father Shen's disgusted expression hurt Shen Liuzhen's heart even more.He looked at Father Shen stubbornly, without saying a word.

Father Shen also stopped talking to him, and hurriedly followed Xie Yuan to pick a horse.

In the end, Xie Yuan persuaded Shen's father to let her choose a slightly bigger horse, because the smaller one really couldn't be picked out.

She was flexible in her hands and feet and had excellent talent. Shen's father also believed in her ability, so she did what she said, basically there was nothing she would not agree to.

She even agreed to her request to ride home on a horse...

So Shen Liuzhen sat in the carriage, watching Xie Yuan riding on the horse, and his father Shen Xiaowei leading the horse all the way back for him, let alone hate it in his heart.

Just like that all the way back home without a word, Shen's father went to set up the horses, Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen entered the gate of Xie's house one after the other.

Xie Yuan was happily telling her father how happy he was riding a horse for the first time.

Behind her, Shen Liuzhen bowed politely to Father Xie, and said very solemnly: "Teacher, there is something wrong with the students, so they have to report it to the teacher."

Father Xie was being shaken by Xie Yuan's hand. He was very noisy, but he also had a doting smile on his face, so he looked at Shen Liuzhen and said, "What is so serious? Let's hear it."

"Xie Yuan is on the road, stealing mulberries from other people's trees." Shen Liuzhen said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, Xie Yuan and Xie father were petrified together.

Xie Yuan was surprised, and Xie's father couldn't believe it, but they all watched Shen Liuzhen stay there.

"You fart, when did I steal someone else's mulberry?!" Xie Yuan was the first to react, shook off Xie's father's hand, and pointed at Shen Liuzhen.

"Ah Yuan, speak well, how can you utter foul language?!" Father Xie looked down at Xie Yuan and frowned.

Shen Liuzhen was unmoved, and said solemnly: "Teacher, I'm telling the truth. When I came back, I followed behind in a carriage and saw Xie Yuan picking it on horseback with my own eyes."

Xie Yuan opened his mouth to refute, as if he suddenly remembered something, he explained anxiously:
"Father, I was sitting on a horse and passed under there. I couldn't help but reach out and grab the leaves. How can this be called stealing!"

Xie's father's expression became even more ugly, and he lowered his head and asked her: "A Yuan, I remember teaching you. There is a poem in Cao Zhi's "A Gentleman" that says: "The melon field does not accept the shoes, and the Li Xia does not have the crown. Don't you?" Know what that means?"

Xie Yuan knew something was wrong, and said aggrievedly: "I know, a gentleman should take precautions and stay away from suspicion.... You can't do something for nothing to be suspected... But Dad, I just couldn't hold back for a while."

"Don't you think there are too many things that you can't hold back for a while? It's the same reason when you climbed the wall. Why doesn't Liu Zhen have these things?"

Xie Yuan turned his head, took a look at Shen Liuzhen, saw that he looked like an obedient gentleman, rolled his eyes involuntarily, and muttered:
"Father, no one thinks that I stole Mulberry, except Shen Liuzhen."

Father Xie knelt down, with a serious face, pressed her shoulder and said: "The owner of the tree didn't see it, if he saw it, how could he let you go so easily?
When the time comes, you say you didn't steal it, you just had enough leaves.Then why do you pick the leaves of other people's trees and destroy other people's trees? ... If someone blocks you on the road to argue, then not only will you lose face, but also the Xie family's face, and the Xie family's reputation.You are just because you can't hold back for a while, is it a loss? "

Xie Yuan pursed his lips, and finally said guiltily: "I know I made a mistake, father, and I will definitely pay attention when I go out in the future."

Father Xie stood up and said sternly: "Since it is a mistake, it will be fined, thirty boards, will you accept it or not?"

Xie Yuan raised his eyes, and uttered a word with difficulty from his pouting mouth: "Husband... accept."

Xie Yuan was taken away to be punished, but Shen Liuzhen was not happy.

He had been watching from the side just now, watching his teacher's persuasive, gentle and reasonable way of educating Xie Yuan.

The way the teacher squatted down and looked at Xie Yuan, and talked to him while pressing his shoulder, remained in his mind for a long time.

So in his fantasy, his father, Colonel Shen, would do the same to him.

His father squatted in front of him and said to him:
As a general, you don't have so many books in your family, and you can't get so many books for you to read.

He said, the Shen family has a background in martial arts, and I also served in the court, so I have contacts and have the opportunity to recommend.

If you can practice martial arts with peace of mind, it will be easy for you to rise to the top in the future, and you will not have to be as difficult as I was in the past. Starting from a small pawn, how many times did you escape from death and earn military merits before you became the eyes of distant relatives in the clan and supported you? I give it a go.

Say……

He can say many things well, but he prefers to speak with his fists.

Yes, he understands all these reasons, but his father, Colonel Shen, never gave him a chance to communicate.

He knew what his father thought, but his father never cared what he thought.

His father, Xiaowei Shen, never knew that it was the first time he felt the intimacy of books and pen and ink.

I don't know the sense of accomplishment and joy when he can read the words and read the meaning from the book.

What's more, those square and square characters seem to have a natural attraction to him, and every time he sees them, he will feel extremely satisfied and happy.

He is confident that as long as he is given a chance, he will be able to forge his own path by relying on Congwen, and he will be able to succeed without being under the shadow of his elders.

But he didn't have the opportunity to talk about these feelings with his father in detail, he could only say that he likes to read books, and then he endured the beating and refused to practice martial arts...

Shen Liuzhen thought so, stood lonely in Xie's yard for a while, and then went back.
