Chapter 71 Extra - Qin Baozhu 3

My second brother and I lived in Wenxintang.

My life has undergone a major turning point since then.

First, I went from a place full of women to a place full of men.

Secondly, I was saddled with a huge debt of one hundred taels of silver.

In order to pay off my employer's ransom money as soon as possible, I took on almost all the cooking, sweeping, and laundry work in the academy.

I like Wenxintang very much.

I like the loud sound of books in the library, I like the scholarly spirit of the students, I like Wang Jijiu’s intriguing gags, and I like those off-key songs that the shopkeeper, Uncle Hu, sits under the tree after dinner.

I like to look at Shaodong's house secretly.

There were many young people coming and going in Wenxintang, but no one could compare to Shaodongjia in terms of appearance or demeanor.

I am very lucky to have Qin Yang as my brother.

Because my boss was interested in his strong body and figure, I borrowed his guidance to enter Wenxintang, so that I could be so close to the young master's family.

When Shaodong's family was studying, I listened to his meticulous reading in the yard. When Shaodong's family was practicing calligraphy, I watched him sitting upright outside the window. When Shaodong's family was practicing martial arts, I secretly followed him and made gestures along the corridor.

During that time, I often felt that I was very lucky.

Although my parents no longer want me, I met the best butterfly girl in the world in the brothel. After leaving the brothel, I met the best young master in the world.

I began to pester Uncle Hu to teach me how to read, and I began to ask Qin Yang to teach me kung fu.

Because I want to be closer to Shaodong's house.

The young master is a man of both civil and military skills, and he learns everything very quickly. I know in my heart that I am completely different from him in this life. I do not seek to be able to stand side by side with him, but I seek to be closer to him.

After I became literate, I always wanted to find a poem from books worthy of Shaodongjia.

In this way, when I talk about Shaodong's family in the future, I won't be able to say only "good" at a loss of words, but I will be able to recite a shocking verse like those literati.

I searched for a long time, and finally one day, I saw a sentence——

It is as bright as the sun and moon in one's arms, as bright as a jade tree facing the wind, as solemn as the roaring waves among the pines, and as bright as the lightning under the rock.

I carefully transcribed this sentence and kept it in my heart.

This is the Shaodong family in my mind.

I'm very satisfied.

Shaodongjia has always had a very silent image in my mind because he rarely talks to me.

In fact, he rarely talks to anyone.

As for me, because I am the first to get the first prize, I am probably the girl who talks to the young master’s family the most.

I couldn't help but feel happy.

However, the good times did not last long. Not long after, the Dong family suddenly left Shengjing, taking Shaodong's family with him.

They left suddenly, without even leaving a message.

It was only later that I learned from Uncle Hu that they went to Yunzhou.

I felt lost for a while, then picked myself up again.

Because I know that Shaodongjia will definitely come back. The next time we meet, I must let him see a better me.

The reunion with my young master was five years later.

The host didn’t come back. The young host led a horse alone and walked into the Wenxin Hall on a snowy day, carrying a long sword full of anger.

When I came back this time, the Shaodong family had changed a lot.

He was very tall, taller than Qin Yang, and his shoulders were much broader, and there was no trace of his youth anymore. His eyebrows and eyes were still as cold as ever, but he was no longer so taciturn.

For example, he would take the initiative to ask why his second brother didn't promise me a marriage.

"This girl has a good idea. It's no use even if I promise her." The second brother immediately shied away all the responsibility.

I was looking at the young master's angular straight eyebrows in trance, but I saw him suddenly look at me, so he smiled and said jokingly: "I still owe the young master a huge sum of money that I haven't repaid, so I can't get married in debt."

"

Everyone roared with laughter.

The young master also smiled helplessly: "That's what your brother owes me. He has sold himself to me, so it's settled."

"That doesn't count! A little girl stands upright and has to pay her own debts." I refused to change my words.

The Shaodong family came back for a long time this time and lived in Wenxin Hall for more than half a year before moving out.

After moving out, Shaodong's family became increasingly busy, and sometimes he didn't even have time to visit Wenxintang for a month.

When Shaodong's family came to Wenxintang, they mostly came to see Qin Yang. When I asked them what they were going to do, they always looked around and refused to tell me.

Later, I heard from Qin Yang that the young master's family was an official in the court and his official position was very high.

Then I understood that being a high official naturally means you have to be busier.

When the young master comes to Wenxintang again, I will ask him intentionally or unintentionally, how is the court and how is the emperor?

Every time we talk about these things, Shaodong will talk a lot.

So I always pestered him to ask about these court affairs.

In fact, I just hope he can talk to me more.

I also tried in a subtle way to see if he was married and if he had a girl he liked.

Got a resounding negative answer.

The young master seems to really have no interest in women.

I was disappointed and relieved at the same time.

I feel disappointed because even if I have grown into a grown-up girl, I will always be just the girl next door in the eyes of my young master.

I am happy because there is no one I wish to marry in the young master’s family.

I can't think of any kind of woman who could be worthy of him.

If he has a wife, no matter how beautiful and outstanding the girl is, I will definitely think that the young master is blind.

I wasted my youth in such self-confusion.

Until one day, the young master's family suddenly came to Wenxintang. He looked panicked, called Qin Yang and left in a hurry without saying anything.

I have never seen Shaodong's family so panicked. Even when Wang Jijiu was arrested, he was never so panicked.

Something serious must have happened, I didn't dare to say anything.

But I haven't seen Shaodong's family for almost a month, and I couldn't talk to him when we met today, so I couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

So I decided to cook a table of delicious dishes, and when the young master brought Qin Yang back, he would stay for dinner.

Shaodong’s favorite is the braised beef I made.

I have studied this dish repeatedly, using an exclusive secret recipe, and it has a taste that you can never taste outside.

However, when I finished cooking, the young master did not come back with Qin Yang.

Coming back with Qin Yang was a stranger.

A tall, thin, elegant scholar.

Subconsciously, I felt that the young master's family was in such a panic today because of the scholar in front of them.

I looked at the fair-skinned scholar in front of me, and an idea suddenly came to my mind.

Could this be a woman?

If it's true, it's probably his sweetheart who can make the young master's family so panicked.

I decided to give it a try.

So I took the opportunity to return the coupon and deliberately stayed close to him.

The other party didn't avoid it at all.

She is indeed a girl disguised as a man.
