The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

Going on the road with Xin Suzhao was quite an interesting experience. As soon as he left Yangzhou, he was like a trapped bird escaping its cage, riding up and down the red light all day long. From time to time, he would rush into the field with a bow and arrow to shoot an arrow, and then come back with the rabbit he shot. At night, he would have a barbecue with Chen Heng.

Xin's father was still worried about the two children going on the road alone, so he sent a guard to follow them all the way.

With this adult around, Chen Heng simply stopped following the caravan. Three people and two horses shortened their original trip by two days and broke into Taixing County before nightfall.

Once here, it's only half a day's journey from Shanxi Village. If not for the tiring journey, Chen Heng could even hire a bullock cart in the county and go home directly.

However, considering that my face is now as pale as ashes and I don’t even have a human face, I don’t know what kind of complaints my grandparents will make if they see this look.

Chen Heng simply spent his own money to buy two rooms in the county, one for himself and Xin Suzhao, and one for his elder brother.

What, you're leaving tomorrow? No, no. Chen Heng shook his head like a rattle, You're already here, and you have to go home with me for a meal.

Brother Heng, you think I'm stupid. Xin Suzhao shook his legs on the bed, Follow me home, and then what? Your family will definitely have to kill chickens and cows for me and prepare a table of dishes.

Isn't it just for nothing that your parents have to work hard? This is not the original intention of sending you here, and I feel sorry for it. I feel more at ease. Brother Heng, can you understand what I mean?

You don't know how to slaughter a cow. If you have never lived in a farm, you don't know how valuable cows are.

But killing a chicken is a sure thing.

Chen Heng was a little surprised that Xin Suzhao had such a delicate mind under his carefree appearance.

He suddenly felt that his classmates really had different personalities. If Xue Biao were here, he would definitely follow him back to the village with a smile, and then quietly make up for himself elsewhere.

If Qian Dayou, Jiang Yuanbai and others were there, they would happily rush to his house, have a bit of fun, and then invite themselves back to visit their house.

Although he understood what Xin Suzhao meant, Chen Heng was willing to let him go. Just as he was about to continue persuading him, Xin Suzhao had already turned over and said he was sleepy.

Chen Heng had no choice but to let him go to bed first and prepare to continue persuading him when he gets up tomorrow.

As a result, early the next morning, Chen Heng, who had regained his energy, just opened his eyes, only to find that the person beside him was no longer there. When he went downstairs to ask the shopkeeper, he found out that Su Zhao had left before dawn, so he left with his guards on horseback.

This guy really is.

Chen Heng could think of the proud smile on the other party's face under the autumn sun as he rode away.

Forget it, wait until you return to Yangzhou to treat him to dinner. Chen Heng shook his head and went back to the room to wash up. Only then did he take the gifts he bought and get on the ox cart in the county that was going back to the village.

The villagers who drove the car naturally recognized Chen Heng. When they saw him, they were so frightened that they couldn't even speak. They thought something had happened to the children of the old Chen family. It wasn't until Chen Heng said that it was a holiday for the academy that he quickly put Chen Heng into the bullock cart and took him back to the village alone.

Shanxi Village is still Shanxi Village.

The wild ducks were playing leisurely on the water. The clouds were gone and the weather was bright. Even the wind slowed down and gently caressed the faces of the tourists.

The closer he got to his home, the more Chen Heng's heart beat. Until the bullock cart stopped in front of his home, Chen Heng jumped out of the car.

Running forward and pushing open the door, Chen Heng shouted to the people in the yard: Grandma, sister!!

Zhou and Chen Qing were working in the yard when they suddenly heard Chen Heng's voice, but neither of them reacted. Until they looked up and saw the figure running into the yard. Zhou didn't even care about what was on her knees, she stood up and hugged Chen Heng who rushed up.

Er Gou, my Er Gou. Are you back? Grandma's dear grandson, it's been three months since you left. Three months. You know how much grandma misses you.

Zhou was still able to control her emotions. She only said the first two sentences and tears were already flowing down her face.

Chen Qing's emotions have always been restrained. Because of her grandma's influence, she was holding her brother's hand with red eyes. Chen Heng poked his head out of his grandma's arms and said to Chen Qing.

Sister, my brother misses you so much.

Sister, I miss you too. Chen Qing raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

Big girl, go inside and call your grandpa. Mrs. Zhou hugged Chen Heng and didn't even want to let go. In fact, there was no need for Chen Qing to shout. When Chen Gaishan heard the noise in the house, he had already come to the doorrail out of curiosity.

Looking towards the yard, Chen Gaishan couldn't help but be startled. His always serious look faded away like a tide. Chen Gaishan walked up to Chen Heng with trembling lips, pinched his grandson's face with his hands, and then said softly: You are my good grandson.

You are really my good grandson.

grandfather……

Chen Gaishan's eyes were red and he raised his head, maintaining this posture, and said: Good boy, grandpa is happy that you are back.

Qing'er, go to the fields and call your daddy.

Hey. Chen Qing nodded and ran out of the yard immediately.

Grandma, where is my mother? Chen Heng asked.

Mrs. Zhou then clapped her hands and said, She's been feeling heavy lately, so she's probably still sleeping. I'll go tell her right now.

Before Chen Heng could stop him, Zhou had already hurried out.

When Chen Qi returned home, he saw his mother, wife and children hugging each other and crying. He was also excited, but he still couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this scene.

Men, good face. After everyone in the family had finished crying, he coughed a few times and asked how Chen Heng came back. Wait until his son tells Xin Suzhao what happened.

Chen Qi couldn't help but marveled: This classmate of yours is really amazing.

When you go back, prepare something and ask Heng'er to bring it to him. People don't want to trouble us, and we can't forget that we have troubled others. Chen Gaishan also nodded in agreement, Don't Heng'er have money on him? Come back Grandpa will give you some, and you must treat him to a meal.

Grandpa, I have it. Chen Heng nodded obediently, his hands being held by his grandma and mother respectively. Gu's eyes never left Chen Heng's eyes since she saw him, as if she was afraid that he would fly away.

Feeling his mother's gaze, Chen Heng turned his head, but his eyes fell on Gu's bulging body. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand, touched it, and said curiously, I don't know if it's a younger brother or a younger sister.

The Gu family now has two children, so she takes this matter very lightly. He just smiled and asked, Heng'er wants younger brothers and sisters.

Before Chen Heng could answer, Shuangxi had already jumped up and said loudly, Sister, I want a sister.

The whole family burst into laughter, and Chen Heng took the opportunity to quickly take out the things he bought. Grandma, mother, and aunt all have combs and mirrors, which are very cheap to buy in Yangzhou.

The two sisters, Chen Qing and Chen Xian, were wearing rouge and gouache. Chen Heng picked the red color. He thought it was a pretty color, or so the store said.

Shuangxi thought she could get some toys, but she was holding a book and holding back her anger.

Chen Heng picked up the last two boxes of things and said to his family: Grandpa and grandma, I'll go to the master's house first. These are gifts for the master's wife.

Okay, let's go. Although Chen Gaishan didn't have a gift, he couldn't hide the pride in his eyes. Looking at his eldest grandson, he really felt that he had grown up.

After leaving home, he once again walked on the familiar road and came to the fence of the Master's house. According to his old habit, Chen Heng straightened his clothes first and then slowly opened the door of the Master's house.

When the two elders saw Chen Heng, they were very surprised.

You kid, why are you back? Your wife and I are planning to go to Yangzhou to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you.

Ah? Master, are you going to Yangzhou to find me? Chen Heng was dumbfounded.

That's right. Aren't we going to Yangzhou every year and festival? We just happened to bring you to go to my brother's house. Mrs. Liu took the words, half complaining and half happy, Their family wrote to me, saying that you I haven't even had a doorstep in three months. You kid, why are you so thin-skinned?

I finished writing a version at around eight o'clock, and originally arranged other scenes for Xin Suzhao. When I was about to upload it, I suddenly felt it wasn't very good, so I changed it again. Delete them all and rewrite them all. Who knows? ! ! ! !

Now we know what's going on in the Lin Mansion. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

This version was written in a hurry, so I’ll be thinking about it tonight to see if I can write it better.
