Gong Xue has bandits

Chapter 18 Kite Flying

After receiving hints from his mother, Fu Yuanzhi no longer blindly hides his clumsiness, and will subtly show his face in front of his father a few times, but he will not be too ostentatious, and his whole person still appears humble.

In a blink of an eye, a more important opportunity to "show your face" came. The spring breeze was blowing, and the Qianyuan Festival was approaching.

This is an old custom in Shengdu, and it is very popular among the children of nobles. The children team up in two groups, bring their own kites, and fly into the sky. It will be stable and prosperous all year round, and the family will be very glorious.

Because flying a kite to Qingyun is a good omen, Fu Yuexi is also happy to let the children participate, but this year, he made an exception and let Fu Yuanzhi also join in, and asked him to go to the Fengguo Mansion with his brothers to find Wenren's family. Miss "team" to fly a kite.

At that time, Duke Feng's mansion had already married three daughters, and the two youngest ladies stayed in the mansion, Wen Renshu and Wen Renjun, one concubine and one concubine, and they knew how to choose with their eyes closed.

Fu Yuanzhi also went to Fengguo Duke's Mansion with his father before, and met the two ladies several times, but they didn't say much. He only remembered that one was very beautiful, a little arrogant, and the other was a little shorter. She has delicate features and looks quiet, and I heard that she likes to read books.

This time, when he came to Fengguo Duke's mansion again, holding the kite he made himself, Fu Yuan felt a little more measured in his heart.

In fact, he didn't care about the difference between a concubine and a concubine. Although he himself was born of a regular wife, what is the difference between a concubine and a concubine?It's a pity that he didn't care, but his mother was very important and urged him to "take down" the real lady and form a team with her to participate in the Thousand Kite Festival.

Obviously, his two elder brothers also thought the same way, so when the three of them held different kites and surrounded that small and beautiful figure, the scene was a bit like "choosing a concubine".

Wen Renshu rolled her beautiful eyes, looked at the kite in their hands a few times, and finally said crisply: "The kites of the two brothers are beautiful, but his is not good."

Besides Fu Yuanzhi, who else is this "he"?
There was a hint of contempt in Wen Renshu's tone, and the look in Fu Yuanzhi's eyes was even more condescending and dismissive. Fu Yuanzhi often saw this kind of look in the mansion, and his mother told him that adults are like this. Stepping down is extremely snobbish, but he never imagined that this kind of look would appear on a little girl one day.

This hurt him even more than when any "adult" in Xiangfu looked at him.

Obviously the kite he made was the most exquisite and beautiful, but because of his humble status, he was looked down upon together, and an unspeakable shame arose in his heart.

Fu Yuanzhi held the kite, and stopped participating in the fun that didn't belong to him. He just listened to the laughter and laughter from afar, standing alone in the sky, motionless.

After returning to the Prime Minister's mansion that night, his mother was a little disappointed, and she seemed to have expected it, telling him to think of a way, don't be discouraged, and must win the favor of the concubine lady. , only mumbled in the past.

In the next few days, he still followed his brothers to Fengguogong's mansion, and the result would not change. No matter how he made the kite more beautiful, the concubine would not even look at him. He sneered in his heart, Finally, Baba no longer leaned forward.

When he came to Duke Feng's mansion again, he didn't even bring the kite with him. He only brought a book and found a remote courtyard. When he was about to read a book alone, he found that there was already a person sitting under the tree.

The two children looked at each other with a tacit embarrassment.

"Hi brother."

"I've seen the fifth girl."

In this way, there was nothing to say, and it was quiet under the tree, and the two of them leaned on each other, reading a book quietly.

A few days passed, and there seemed to be a tacit understanding. Although the two didn't talk much, they got along harmoniously and comfortably, and their discussions on some contents of the book were quite speculative, not to mention...the faint sense of "likeness".

It was only then that Fu Yuanzhi found out that this quiet little sister with clear eyes and picturesque eyes was not loved by his father just like him.

While sighing in his heart, he felt that he was not so lonely anymore, and when he looked at that slender figure, there was something more that he couldn't express.

On this day, there was another burst of laughter outside, the spring is so good, Fu Yuanzhi was a little dazed, put down the book and looked at the distant sky, not knowing what it was like.

At this moment, Wen Renjun poked out a small head from behind the tree, and said cautiously: "Brother Shi, let's... go fly a kite too?"

Her delicate and sweet voice cheered Fu Yuanzhi, and he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes: "But, but I didn't bring a kite..."

There was a bright smile on that Qingjun face, he raised his skirt and stood up: "I have it, I did it, you wait for me, I'll go back and get it!"

Like a gust of spring breeze, a ray of warm sun, when the kite was flying in the small courtyard, the gloom in Fu Yuanzhi's heart was swept away, and his whole body was filled with joy that he had never felt before.

After he returned to Xiang's mansion that night, he immediately took out his kite from under the box, kept rubbing it under the lamp, and that clear and handsome figure appeared in front of his eyes.

When Zheng Fengyu saw it, he couldn't help but said happily: "Why, the Fourth Miss is finally willing to play with you?"

Fu Yuan gave a pause, lowered his head, mumbled, and prevaricated.

On the second day, he almost couldn't wait to find Wen Renjun, and took out his carefully crafted kite, "Ah Jun, let me fly this kite!"

Wen Renjun's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed sincerely: "What a beautiful kite, Brother Shi, you are really amazing!"

Fu Yuanzhi raised the corners of his lips, his heart was warm, like drinking honey: "As long as you like it."

Facts have proved that the kite made by Fu Yuanzhi is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has a solid and exquisite skeleton. He has done rigorous calculations in advance and drew many drawings, and finally perfected this one. This kite can maximize Reduce resistance as much as possible, take advantage of the trend and take advantage of the wind to rise straight into the blue sky.

Hearing his complex data calculations, Wen Renjun's eyes flashed with admiration: "Brother Shi, you are really amazing. I have been most afraid of dialing the abacus since I was a child. You can do whatever you want, don't you?" Do you find arithmetic boring?"

Fu Yuanzhi's smile deepened, and he felt that Wen Renjun's wide-eyed appearance was really cute, so he couldn't help but reached out and touched her head: "Actually, abacus is very interesting. Brother Shi will teach you some tips in the future, so you won't Arithmetic is boring."

The kite was set up in the courtyard, and sure enough, with Fu Yuanzhi's ingenuity, the kite flew high and far, taking advantage of the "innate advantage".

Wen Renjun smiled with crooked brows and eyes, running back and forth joyfully, he still didn't think it was enough: "How about, Shixiong, let's go out and let it go?"

The world outside is indeed wider, the sky is cloudless, the spring is sunny, and the kites fly high into the sky.

This is a garden of Duke Feng's mansion, and Fu Yuanzhi's two older brothers were placed on the other side with Wen Renshu. Once again, he was placed under the sky with these people, but Fu Yuanzhi's mood was completely different. He could only see the running figure of Wen Renjun in his eyes, and nothing else lingered in his mind.

It's just that just because he can't see others, doesn't mean others can't see him.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

What's more, he was pregnant with two "bi".

Yes, his elder brother took a fancy to the kite in his hand, but the second elder took a fancy to Wen Renjun who was smiling brightly.

The group of people came quickly, and the leader was the son of Fu's parents, who said in a strange voice: "Why, third brother, you are also here to fly a kite? Don't worry about being overwhelmed. Carry it back?"

As soon as the words fell, the group of boys behind him laughed loudly, Wen Renshu also raised his sleeves to cover his lips and smiled, and the elder brother continued to take a step forward.

"I think you'd better go back and practice calligraphy. I'll leave this kite to my elder brother. Otherwise, if you put it in the hands of a sick person like you, wouldn't it be a waste of a good thing?"

The laughter around him grew louder, Fu Yuanzhi pursed his lips tightly, his face turned ashen, and when he was about to speak, Wen Renjun said from the side:

"Brother Shi made the kite, so why should I give it to you? He drew the blueprints, made calculations, and continued to improve, so that the kite can fly so well. It is precisely because of his hands that the sword can become It’s not that the sword is randomly in the hands of others and turned into a pile of scrap iron. You don’t have the ability to make a good kite yourself, so you want to snatch it from others, it’s really shameless.”

Her voice was quite pleasant, and every word she spoke was clearly recognizable, as crisp as jade, but it made the eldest brother of the Fu family turn pale instantly.

Wen Renshu hurriedly scolded: "Fifth sister, why did you talk to Mr. Fu? Didn't Aunt Mei teach you etiquette?"

She was only a few words, but firstly pointed out the prominent position of the eldest brother of the Fu family, secondly pointed out the identity of Wen Renjun's concubine daughter, and thirdly pointed out that the aunt in the mansion was negligent, Wenrenjun lacked discipline and had no manners , unlike her orthodox lady.

Wen Renjun didn't think too much about it at all, but still looked at the furious elder brother of the Fu family, and said coldly: "Whatever way he speaks to Shixiong, I will return him the same way, courtesy and reciprocity. Does fourth sister feel that this etiquette is wrong?"

"You!" The eldest brother of the Fu family was furious, and when he was about to go forward, he was grabbed by the second brother of the Fu family. On that identical face, there was clearly a different temperament and expression, he sized Wen Renjun up and down and said with a smile :
"What a clever little girl, when I saw you last year, I only thought you were a nerd."

The more he talked, the closer he got, his eyes became more unscrupulous: "Why are you so much more beautiful than last year? It seems that girls still have to come out to play often, and can't always be buried in books. Look how good-looking you are when you smile. There is only one thing wrong. You The person standing next to him is really low-class, not worthy of playing with you, and not worthy of you calling 'Brother' one by one, why don't you follow me, let's form a team and go to the Thousand Kite Festival, how about it? "

His words were blunt and explicit, Wen Renjun took a step back subconsciously, Fu Yuanzhi was already standing in front of her, frowned and shouted: "Second brother, please respect yourself, this is Fengguo Duke's mansion, be careful that your Meng Lang words will be misunderstood by the uncle Hearing this, even the Xiangfu will lose all face!"

"Hey, bring this up to scare me. How could I be Meng Lang? My fair lady, a gentleman is so good. I just begged Fifth Sister to form a team with me. What's the matter with you?"

The second elder brother of the Fu family stretched out his hand to push Fu Yuanzhi, "Sick boy, get out!"

His eyes were still burning and he looked towards Wen Renjun: "Fifth sister, how about it, you follow me, I will treat you well, I am strong and strong, I promise to make you feel better than this sick man, if you don't believe me, you can try it." Give it a try?"

As he got closer to Wen Renjun, he took advantage of his verbal advantage. Wen Renjun couldn't understand, but amidst the malicious laughter all around, he stuck close to Fu Yuanzhi, hid behind him, and held his hand hand.

"Go away, I don't want to play with you, I have already formed a team with Shixiong, so I don't want to play with you!"

Fu Yuan's blood was surging, his eyes were like sharp knives, and he went to the second elder brother of the Fu family, refusing to give in. The second elder brother was still waiting to move forward, but was held back by the elder brother of the Fu family, he waved and said, "Okay, second brother, come on!" It's funny, don't lose your sense of proportion, after all, it's still in the family's house."

Fu Yuanzhi held Wen Renjun's hand tightly, not wanting to entangle with these people any more, turned around and left: "Ah Jun, let's go!"

"Wait, you can go, leave the kite for me!" The eldest brother of the Fu family called out.

The second elder brother saw the stitches too, and teased: "Keep the fifth younger sister too!"

A group of people surrounded Fu Yuanzhi and Wen Renjun again. Fu Yuanzhi's eyes were as cold as ice, and he said to the boy who blocked the way: "Get out of the way, a slave is worthy of stopping the master! No matter how bad it is, I'm also a prime minister." Third Young Master, how can you bastards be the ones who can move!"

His stern words surprised all the young servants, they were used to pretending to be pretentious, but suddenly they were shouted at like this, thinking of their status as slaves, they were a little intimidated, they all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The eldest brother of the Fu family was also startled, it is rare to see that Fu Yuanzhi is really serious, after all, he is still in Fengguo Gong's mansion, and he doesn't want to cause trouble, so he can't help lowering his voice: "Third brother, calm down, don't make things big Now, you give the kite to Big Brother, and Big Brother will let you go."

Fu Yuanzhi turned his head coldly, and suddenly took out a dagger from his bosom, which startled the elder brother of the Fu family.

"That's fine. I see that you have a good pair of eyes. I want you to pluck them out and give them to me. You can give them to me now. How about it?"

"You! You're crazy!" The eldest brother of the Fu family felt terrified, took a step back trembling, but still stuck his neck and said, "I'll ask you one last time, will you give me the kite or not?"

Fu Yuanzhi sneered, and suddenly pulled out the scabbard, the cold light flashed, the eldest brother of the Fu family screamed in fright, hugged his head, but heard a squeak, the kite string was severed by the sharp blade, and flew into the In the hunting wind.

"If you want it, go to the sky and get it yourself!"

Everyone gasped and looked up, only to see the kite with the broken string flying farther and farther away, hanging on a towering ancient tree in the distance, turning into a small dot, which is hard to distinguish.

In the dumbfounded, the eldest brother and the second brother of the Fu family were dumbfounded. After all, they were just children, and they had never seen such a decisive posture before. The soles of the feet rise.

Especially the eldest brother of the Fu family, pointing at Fu Yuanzhi, he was at a loss for words: "Okay, okay, third child, you are cruel enough, you are worthy of a little monster born by a lame mother, you are too vicious, you are a lunatic! "

A group of people left in a hurry, Fu Yuanzhi's body went limp, and he fell to his knees, the dagger in his hand slipped down, his eyes darkened: "It's over, I'm going to make my mother angry again..."

He wasn't afraid of offending his elder brother and second brother completely, he was only afraid of seeing... his mother's sad eyes.

"Brother."

Wen Renjun called him and wanted to help him up, but he heard him lower his head and said in frustration: "Am I... very useless?"

"I actually worked on that kite for two months. Dad finally let me participate in the Thousand Kite Festival. I want to win my mother's reputation. I don't want to let her down. After all, she only has me. It's..."

The hot teardrops ticked and fell on the grass, splitting apart like a child's broken heart.

The surrounding area was silent, the cold wind was blowing, Wen Renjun's clothes were fluttering, his palms moved, he tilted his head and leaned in front of Fu Yuanzhi, and smiled at him: "Brother Shi, let's go and get the kite back, shall we?"

"Take it, take it back?" Fu Yuanzhi's eyes were blurred with tears, he looked at the towering ancient tree in the distance and said, "But that tree is so tall, even if you find a ladder, you can't reach it."

Wen Renjun gently held his face, turned his head around, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, gently moved to his ear, and whispered: "I'll tell you quietly, you don't need a ladder , my mother can fly up, she is very powerful, she took me to fly before, don't tell me..."

When Ruan Xiaomei was called out, she was still wearing a complicated concubine-colored long dress, seeing Wen Renjun pointing at the top of a tall tree and blinking at her, she couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

"Okay, Ah Jun, you betrayed your mother again."

Ruan Xiaomei scratched her daughter's nose, raised her head with her hips on her hips, and said with empty eyes: "You can get it, but this skirt is inconvenient. It can't be stretched. It's all your father's fault. Every spring, I send some colorful clothes. Do not force people to wear..."

"Father loves mother. You see, father never gives me new clothes." Wen Renjun shook Ruan Xiaomei's sleeves, and said coquettishly, "Mother, you can fly once. Brother Shi and I don't know each other." Will tell, won't you, brother?"

Fu Yuanzhi nodded in a daze, looking a little silly for a while, saying that he had never seen a mother and daughter get along like this in a deep house with a high family, and what Ruan Xiaomei did next surprised him even more. My jaw is about to drop--

Hearing a thud, she tore her hands apart, quickly removed a circle of skirt corners, clapped her hands and straightened up happily: "Look, it's much more convenient now, wait, mother, I'll take it off for you!"

As soon as the voice fell, the person also tiptoed, flew into the air like a frightened bird, stepped on the tree trunk a few times, and flew to the top of the towering treetops. Shining generally.

Wen Renjun clapped his hands excitedly: "If it's higher, if it's higher, mother is the best, it's almost enough for the kite!"

Fu Yuanzhi raised his head under the tree, his eyes were straight for a moment, until Ruan Xiaomei easily took off the kite and flew down, he still didn't realize it: "Thank you, thank you Aunt Mei..."

The lost and recovered kite returned to his arms, his palms trembled slightly, thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and it was difficult to express them.

Wen Renjun walked forward understandingly, hooked one of his fingers, and shook it lightly, giving him a kind of silent comfort.

Fu Yuanzhi blinked, his long eyelashes were wet, and smiled at Wen Renjun: "Ah Jun, our kite is back, we will use it to participate in the Thousand Kite Festival, what do you think?"

Wen Renjun nodded hurriedly: "Of course, the kite made by Brother Shi is so good, he will definitely be the best!"

The two held each other's hands in the wind, looked at each other and smiled, and the sky was fine.

Looking at the beautiful picture of the children, Ruan Xiaomei couldn't help clasping her shoulders with her hands, sighed, stepped forward and rubbed the heads of the two little guys, and said with a smile:
"Two children are so good, but they have to be so good all their lives."

Fu Yuan moved his body, looked up at the smiling face, and was momentarily stunned.

This was the first "adult" who treated him so kindly since he could remember.

His eyes were hot for a moment, and when he was about to say something, Ruan Xiaomei raised her voice: "Come on, put the kite aside first, Aunt Mei will teach you a few kung fu techniques to defend yourself, you have to be a little man."

She heard what Ren Jun said about the previous incident, and she wanted to teach Fu Yuanzhi a few simple and practical moves so that he would not be helpless when he was bullied in the future.

"People don't offend me, and I don't offend others. Aunt Mei said yes first. I teach you these tricks not to attack others, but to at least protect yourself when you are bullied beyond endurance. People living in this world can In the end, only you can rely on yourself..."

The crisp voice came into the setting sun, Fu Yuanzhi clenched his fists, with an extremely serious expression, but Wen Renjun smiled silly at the side, Ruan Xiaomei looked at her daughter, and couldn't help but also smiled: "By the way, protect our family too Juan."

In that year, in that ordinary evening, Ruan Xiaomei's unintentional words made Fu Yuanzhi remember them all his life.

For the first time in his heart, besides his mother... someone he wanted to protect.

That night, he had a dream, dreaming that his kite and Ah Jun's kite flew into the sky, flying far, far away, the sky was high and the clouds were wide, and they were no longer bound by anything.
