Pastoral little master

Chapter 257 Competition
Thinking of Wen Xiuyi, Qiduo smiled unnaturally, lowered her eyes in deep thought.

Liuju crawled over from the other side of the bed, sat down next to Qiduo, and hugged her shoulder.

"I usually see that you are like a monkey, full of energy, and you don't seem to be tired at all. Before you were like that, you really scared us all. When my mother heard that you were not feeling well, she almost cried." Liuju lightly pinched Qiduo's little nose, pouted.

Qiduo gave her an apologetic smile, "Second Sister, I'm sorry, I don't know how it happened, but luckily I'm fine now."
"Well, it's good as long as it's okay. How can I say it? You can't get sick if you eat whole grains. By the way, Duo, let me tell you something interesting." Liuju comforted like a little adult, Then he returned to his mischievous appearance, blinking his big eyes and smiling a bit wickedly.
"What's the matter?" Qiduo asked in order to liven up the atmosphere, knowing that there was something wrong with her expression.
"Pfft, I heard that you are not feeling well. Shen Nan stood up suddenly and ran towards our room. All of us looked at him, and when he ran to the door of the room, he stopped suddenly. Then he hurried back and ran back sullenly, you don’t know, his face was so red at that time, like... like that boiled shrimp, we all died laughing, hehe!” Liuju talked about the funny things at that time, I couldn't help laughing again.

I almost choked on laughter!
Qiduo glared at her lightly, annoyed, "What do you call boiled shrimp? It sounds ugly. It should be called red apple."
Liuju looked at her and blinked her eyes, and smirked, "Yes, yes, you are the only one who can talk, and you are very protective of Shen Nan. But don't say it, he really cares about you, seeing how scared he is, hey-hey."

Qi Duo stared at her, "Second Sister, if it were you today, he would definitely be anxious."

"Tch, if it were me, he wouldn't." Liuju pouted, and then said, "By the way, Duo, do you know that in seven days, Shen Nan will compete with Mr. Wen in archery."

"Ah, archery competition? What are you doing archery?" Qiduo was startled, and sat up straight and asked.

What's going on here, what's going on?
What are you doing with that thing?
Liuju explained the reason, and after Qiduo returned to her room to rest, everyone continued to eat and chat, and Wen Xiuyi suddenly asked Shen Nan if she could sculpt.

Without waiting for Shen Nan to answer, Liu Lang immediately rushed to answer, saying that Shen Nan not only knows how to carve, is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also martial arts and archery. He is a very remarkable person.

Liu Lang originally wanted to praise Shen Nan in front of Wen Xiuyi and Xu Youxuan, but after Wen Xiuyi heard this, he immediately became interested, saying that he had heard that Shen Nan was an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he could be called a child prodigy. Nan asked for advice.

At that time, everyone thought that Shen Nan would definitely be modest, saying that Liu Lang was too exaggerated.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations, Shen Nan did not refute Liu Lang's words, but also accepted Wen Xiuyi's words of praise, and instead asked Wen Xiuyi what he wanted to ask for advice.

Wen Xiuyi said archery.

After a few words between the two, it was decided that seven days later, the two would compete in archery, and the loser would worship the winner as a teacher.

"Ah, no one persuaded you at that time. If Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen knew about this, they would be angry. Shen Nan is still studying now. Competing in archery skills will definitely distract him." After listening to six Qiduo was very annoyed by Ju's words.

What annoyed her was Wen Xiuyi.

This person is too much, knowing that Shen Nan's archery skills are not as good as his, he chooses archery skills to compare, and it is clear that he is bullying Shen Nan.

Last time Wen Xiuyi killed two birds with one stone, Qi Duo saw it before his eyes, and Shen Nan's archery skills were worse than Han Hewen, so how could Wen Xiuyi be an opponent.

Silly boy, why did you agree?
It's obvious that you will lose, hey, this matter is so troublesome...
Qiduo became anxious for Shen Nan again, scratching her hair irritably.
Liuju flattened his mouth a little aggrieved, "Duo, who said we didn't persuade you, but if you can listen to me. What is Mr. Wen's status, we are not qualified to persuade him, so we went to lighten Shen Nan, but Shen Nan said nothing. Even if the horse can't catch up, the matter is settled, and before leaving, Mr. Wen reminded Shen Nan to see you in the square on the outskirts of the city in seven days."

"Once a word is spoken, four horses are hard to follow." Qiduo sighed softly, Shen Nan is a very proud child, how could he easily change what he said?
"That's right, that's what Shen Nan said at the time." Liuju nodded.

Qiduo frowned.

Erxia brought hot water a long time ago, Qiduo got out of bed to wash and changed her clothes, her body felt better, but her heart felt a little uncomfortable.

Qiduo didn't sleep well all night and woke up early.

"Duo, you're not feeling well, sleep more." Erxia got up earlier than her, was already fully dressed, and went out to prepare breakfast.

"Eldest sister, I'm all well, and I don't feel comfortable lying down for a long time." Qi Duo responded with a smile and began to get dressed.

Liuju was still sleeping soundly under the blanket, Erxia and Qiduo looked at each other, covered their mouths and laughed, and went out of the house together softly.

Erxia went to the kitchen, while Qiduo took a big broom to sweep the yard.

In the yard, there is still the smell left by the barbecue last night, mixed with the smell of oily smoke.

Before Qiduo could sweep it a few times, Chang Sheng snatched the broom, "Miss San, how can I let you do this kind of rough work, you go and rest."

"Changsheng, don't call me Miss San next time, call me by my name or Miss Seven, I don't like being called Miss." Qiduo knew that the broom would never be taken back, so she didn't fight, but she was a little dissatisfied with the title of Miss. cold.

"The little one will call you Seventh Girl from now on." Chang Sheng wasn't that stubborn, so he quickly changed his address.

Qiduo nodded with a satisfied smile.

After Changsheng swept the floor, she went to the kitchen to help Erxia prepare breakfast.

Soon, Mrs. Xu also entered the kitchen. When she saw Qiduo, she couldn't help being concerned.

Seeing that Qiduo was in good spirits and complexion except for the slightly swollen eyes, Xu was relieved, and at the same time told her to pay more attention when eating in the future, so as not to hurt her body again.

Of course Qiduo nodded obediently.

By the time Liuju woke up naturally after sleeping, breakfast was almost ready.

"Ah, mother, eldest sister, Duo, I'm sorry, I overslept." Liu Ju said embarrassingly, blushing.

Especially Qiduo didn't feel well last night, so she woke up earlier than her, so why not be ashamed.

"Hee hee, little lazy pig." Qi Duo made faces at her, deliberately embarrassing her.

Erxia covered her mouth and smiled, "Duo, don't talk about her anymore, otherwise, her face is so red that it can be used as clothes."
"Well, you two are good or bad!" Liuju pouted, looked at Xu for help, and called softly, "Mom!"
"You two bad girls." Mrs. Xu pointed at Qiduo and Erxia with a gentle smile, full of pampering, and turned her head to comfort Liuju, "It's okay, I don't have much free time these two days, so I'll sleep more , When you are busy, you will not be so happy."

"Yes, Second Sister, we were joking with you, if I was busy, I would have called you earlier." Qi Duo also hurriedly comforted her.

Erxia also said yes.
Hearing what mother and sisters said, Liuju felt better, and took the initiative to feed the pigs with the pig food.

Qiduo under the stove smiled and shook her head. My sisters are too honest to do tricky things to take advantage of. The second sister just woke up a little late, so she feels very guilty. I deliberately got up late to avoid laziness.

Therefore, she is very fortunate that although her grandparents and aunts are not very reliable, her parents, siblings are all honest people, and the whole family is kind, which is great!
Breakfast is mung bean porridge with steamed buns, two dishes of pickles, and two dishes of cold salad. Although it is simple, everyone eats it very happily.

Especially Liu Lang, who took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, was full of happiness, and said that the food at home was still delicious.

The meals in the academy are big pots, how can it be compared with the meals made in small pots and small stoves at home? Before the family was separated, the taste of the meals was similar to that of the cafeteria. Especially when Zhao’s hands were tight and he couldn’t bear the smell of oil, those meals After eating for a long time, it really... a bird faded out of his mouth.

This situation could have been improved after Qiduo came, but because the group of people were hard to serve, she stopped thinking about what to do, regardless of whether the food was delicious or not.

Seeing Liulang like this, Changsheng looked at Mrs. Xu and Tan Dejin and said, "Master, madam, why don't I cook for the young master alone in the future."

"Ah!" Tan Dejin and Xu were stunned for a moment, put down the bowls and chopsticks, they looked at each other, Tan Dejin said, "Forget it, it's too troublesome to do it alone."

Mrs. Xu was a little moved, and asked Changsheng, "Changsheng, can you cook?"

"Well, I will have some. Although it is not delicious at home, it is guaranteed to be better than the dining hall of the academy." Changsheng replied honestly.

Mrs. Xu looked at Tan Dejin again, and when she was about to nod her head in agreement, Liu Lang quickly waved his hands, "It's okay."

"Why?" Everyone asked in unison.

Liu Lang blinked his big eyes a few times, and said very seriously, "Mr. said that when the heavens are about to send a great mission to you, you must first work hard on your mind and muscles... So now we can't just enjoy ourselves, but practice diligently. Studying hard, I am well fed, warmly clothed, and comfortable to live in. My parents and sisters love me, and Brother Changsheng is taking care of me. I am much better than ordinary people. How can I be satisfied? Really think about it , I have violated my master's instruction, I can no longer let Brother Changsheng cook for me alone."

Qiduo's eyes lit up, and she nodded approvingly, um, the boy is not bad, the books I have read these days are not in vain, good!

Xu's eyes turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Mother, what's the matter with you?" Liu Lang was frightened, hurriedly got up and ran to Xu's side, and asked with his small face up.

"It's all right, mother is happy." Mrs. Xu quickly wiped away her tears, hugged Liu Lang into her arms, and said happily, "Liu Lang, mother is really happy. You have grown up and become sensible. Your father, mother and sisters did not love you for nothing, you are such a good boy, mother is happy."

He said he was happy, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down.

But the tears were really happy tears.

At the beginning, Liu Lang was under strict control by the Zhao family, weak and sick, and penniless. Xu did not know how many tears shed behind his back.

Unexpectedly, one day, Liu Lang's health recovered, the family earned money, and lived a stable and prosperous life, which was full of laughter and laughter.

How could Xu be unhappy.
Tan Dejin's eyes were also red, but he didn't cry, he just smiled and advised Xu Shi not to cry.

Qiduo encouraged Liulang, "Liulang, I hope you can remember your teacher's teachings, and you must not only study hard and study hard, but also be a man of integrity and integrity, and be a man who can stand up to the sky. You must be clear, and you must distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, neither proud nor inferior, and move forward step by step, I believe that one day, you will have great achievements."

"Yeah, third sister, what you said is really good, I will remember it. I will definitely be a good person and not be that kind of bully." Liu Lang nodded solemnly. He wanted to talk about Yan Sihong, but after thinking about it, he still counted up.

"These are all what your aunt taught you, brother Nan." Qiduo added.

"Liulang, you must remember the words of the third sister." Tan Dejin and Mrs. Xu heard that it was Zheng Wanru's godson's words, and they paid more attention to them.

With this little episode, everyone was in a happier mood and quickly finished their meal.

When Qiduo was about to go to Shen's house to talk to Shen Nan about the match, Mrs. Wu came over.

Judging by her face, she seemed to be in a bad mood.

　Ahhhh, shutting down the small black room, trembling my hand, I added a zero, I almost couldn't get out, so the update was late! ! !Sahua thanked the little pink of the cat sister paper of Diaowen, I love you, kiss! !Keep asking for all support, thank you! !
