C10 The Whole Hall Was Cheering
On the stage, Tong Qian was in a sorry state. When she heard that her husband had died on the battlefield, her delicate and pretty face was filled with tears. She sat on the ground in a daze. That kind of despair and desolation seeped into the hearts of people.
A soft whimper came from the crowd. Even the class leader's eyes were red. He was immersed in it and the gaze he looked at Tong Qian with was clearly more of admiration.
Tong Qian wiped her tears and took a deep breath to pull herself back. She walked down the stage with Jee Xiuping.
"What do you think?"
Before the crowd could recover from their shock, the person on the stage had already arrived by their side. When she asked this question, she did not raise any doubts.
Tong Qian swept a glance over, "Then all of you will follow my lead just now. "
"Alright. " The class leader decided.
"Your name also needs to be changed," Tong Qian said. "It will be called the drama team. It is not much different from before. "
After the shocking scene just now, everyone was still immersed in their emotions. When they heard it, they also agreed repeatedly.
The sun had already set halfway up the mountain. Jee Xiuping let Tong Qian wait for him in the shop while he went to catch the donkey cart.
Just as he was about to turn around, the corner of his clothes was gently pulled.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
Tong Qian revealed a smile, "I'll take you to a place. "
It was not early. When they rushed back, it would be completely dark. It was rare to see her so interested. Jee Xiuping really couldn't say anything to refuse.
"This is?" Jee Xiuping raised his head and looked at the plaque hanging above, the word "House of Books. "
"Let's go in and take a look. " Tong Qian pulled him in.
The layers of bookshelves were filled with the fragrance of ink. Tong Qian seemed to find it difficult to read these complex characters, so she just let him read it himself.
The dividends he got from the teahouse yesterday were rich enough. Jee Xiuping had always checked the province, and even so, he only got one book.
When he returned home, he used the moonlight to read carefully.
Tong Qian came out of the house and saw him sitting on the wooden bench outside the door, holding the book in his hand.
The room beside him was pitch black.
"Go to my room. " She pursed her lips and said, "I have something to discuss with you. "
The first half of the sentence made Jee Xiuping's ears turn red. After the second half, he walked in with the book.
The dim yellow wick flickered. The two of them sat opposite each other in front of the table, blocking most of the light.
Tong Qian thought for a while and said, "You go and read. "
Jee Xiuping was silent.
"I know you want to lighten the burden of the family, but Xiuping, are you willing to keep doing this?" Tong Qian's brows swayed under the light of the lamp. "For the children of the Humble Class, only by studying and becoming an official can they throw away all of your ambitions. If you stay here forever, you will only be a mediocre person for the rest of your life. "
After a while, Tong Qian continued, "I am the one who dragged you down. If not for this, you would have become successful a long time ago, but you made me trip like this. "
Jee Xiuping's handsome face suddenly lifted up, "Qian. . . "
He wanted to say something, but after coming into contact with Tong Qian's sight, he forcefully suppressed it. After about half an incense stick of time, he opened his mouth and said, "These were all of my own free will. No one forced you, so don't blame yourself too much. "
"But I want you to be a good person. "
Shallow. The flickering wick seemed to freeze with one sentence. Tong Qian's expression was firm. Jee Xiuping took a deep breath through the candle flame and said, "Okay. "
After running around for a few days, Tong Qian finally had a good sleep.
After breakfast, Tong Qian took out the money bag from under the pillow and poured it out to count carefully. She carefully stuffed it into her chest.
Jee Xiuping had promised to study yesterday. Tong Qian had been thinking about this matter yesterday. Now that she had some free money, it was better to treat a teacher. At least it would not be a double of the effort.
There were a few old Elementary Scholars in town, and she had to personally go and look for them.
She tried her best to walk along the small path. She was too lazy to deal with the villagers who were easy to ask. One sentence after another spread like wildfire, causing trouble.
On the long ridge of the field, Tong Qian covered her eyes with her hands and looked in the direction of the village entrance.
Jee Xiuping was not at home, so she did not know how to drive a donkey cart. If she wanted to go to town, she could only take someone else's donkey cart.
In front of her was a small hill. The path at the foot of the mountain was winding. Tong Qian stepped on the soft grass and did not lose her satisfaction.
"Yo, who is this?"
That annoying voice sounded beside her ear.
Tong Qian only felt that her good mood was instantly destroyed. She did not want to look at her and wanted to leave after going around the person.
She followed Zuo Ruyan to the left, and to the right, Ru Yan also followed to the right.
After a few rounds, Tong Qian suppressed the urge to beat her up and lightly smiled, "A good dog does not block the road. "
Ruyan stood in front of her with her hands on her waist, looking like a proud little person. When she heard these words again, she was like a grasshopper who had been stepped on and almost jumped up, "Who are you talking about!"
"I'm talking about whoever is in front of me. " Tong Qian was still smiling and was very different from how Ruyan stomped her feet.
"You!" Ru Yan was about to flare up when she saw someone in the corner of her eye.
His body went limp and he laid down in front of Tong Qian. He held his foot and neck as he stuttered.
The old woman holding a basket of vegetables walked over. "Aiyo. What's wrong with this?"
Tong Qian took a few steps back but was still unable to shake off this dog skin plaster. She could not help but sneer in her heart.
When Ruyan saw the person who came, her cries became more and more miserable.
"Aunt Wang, I'm fine. Sss ~" Ruyan's eyes turned red. She bit her small lips and sobbed miserably, "It was my accident. It was not Qianqian's fault. "
Aunt Wang heard this and quickly put the basket on the ground. She squatted down and asked. "What the hell is going on? Aiyo, this injury has moved the bones for a hundred days. A girl like you has weak bones. What should we do?"
"Yes, I was careless. " Ruyan covered her face with one hand and sobbed softly. "I saw what I shouldn't have. It's all my fault. "
"Eh?" Aunt Wang smelled something unusual and naturally wouldn't let it go. She asked, "What did you see?"
Ruyan raised her head and looked timidly at Tong Qian before smoking back in fear.
Those who didn't know would think that she was bullied.
Aunt Wang saw this and blocked with her strong body. She patted her chest and promised. "Don't be afraid. With Aunt Wang here, no one will dare to do anything to you. Tell me in detail, I will definitely make the decision for you. "
Tong Qian acted like a monkey watching a monkey. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at the two of them singing harmoniously. She did not know what else she could do this time.
In her memory, Ruyan had made quite a number of hats for her out of thin air. However, the original owner was a coward. Every time, he only knew how to cry and let her pour dirty water on his body.
But this time, Tong Qian acted as if she had seen a good show for free. She was not flustered and exasperated at all.
"Qianqian, if you apologize to me. . . I will not tell anyone about this matter. After all, it would not be nice to hear about it. "Ruyan looked as if she was thinking for her sake and did not squeeze out a single tear from her red eyes. Tong Qian looked at her coldly and Ruyan sighed. "In the past, I had to bear with you bullying me like that. But today. . . You can't blame me. "
