Three melons and two dates

Chapter 38: Packing Bags and Thanking Master

The two of them did have something to say, and seeing the speed at which the books and inkstones were being cleaned up, they smiled at each other and put down the items in their hands, and walked to a place out of the way to talk.

Ji Yuan has been waiting for Xie Huanxiu to come back, but now that he is back, he doesn't know where to start.Xie Huanxiu didn't know much about him. He didn't want to hide it from him. At first he thought he was small, but later he felt that it didn't matter. After all, there was nothing worth talking about.

The atmosphere between the two fell silent again.

"When did it happen?" Xie Huanxiu's voice was muffled, and he suddenly said this sentence without beginning or end.

"It's been a while." Ji Yuan knew what he was asking. A few days ago, someone from the family said that Mrs. Tai was ill. She had been thinking about Ji Yuan and wanted him to go back and see her.

The servant Ji Ding spoke in a crying voice, and Ji Yuan's heart tightened when he heard it.He is the youngest son in the family, and his mother's health is not good, and she was very active when she gave birth to him. He was raised by his grandmother when he was a child, and his grandmother loved him very much. The good things in the family, whether it is food or use, are tight Her old man came, and grandma often picked and picked, leaving the good ones to him.His parents have been quite critical of this, they don't want to spoil the child too much, so as not to raise him badly, and they don't want to disobey the old man, so they are very strict with him.

So Ji Yuan has always been a little afraid of his parents, and is very dependent on his grandmother.So after hearing what Ji Ding said, he panicked and almost believed it. His grandmother was always in good health, and his mother couldn't compare to him. How could he suddenly become seriously ill.

Ji Yuan tentatively said, "I didn't expect my grandmother to be so ill. I wanted to say goodbye to my elementary school student, tidy up some clothes, and stay at home for a while. Now it can't be done. Let's go back first."

When Ji Ding heard this, he became anxious, "It's not that urgent, fourth master, you..."

As soon as he said that, he realized that he had been tricked by Ji Yuan again.Those who don't give up still want to say a few more words about how Mrs. Tai misses him, so Ji Yuan said:

"Since there is no rush, let's wait for a while, I will say goodbye to the heavenly official, and go home, otherwise I don't know when we will see each other again."

Ji Ding is also clever, otherwise he would not have been sent to frame Ji Yuan to go home.As soon as he heard this, he immediately moved. Their fourth master has had enough fun outside and is going home!

This is a very good thing, if the fourth master doesn't make any noise when he goes back, let alone Mrs. Tai, even the master and wife will be rewarded, so there's no reason why he shouldn't!

Ji Yuan repaired a letter and sent Ji Ding to send it back first, and at the same time ordered him to live in the town and come to pick it up after the 24th of the twelfth lunar month.

Ji Ding counted the days and arrived home in time for New Year's Eve, and he was afraid that he would offend the master by talking too much, so he agreed one by one.

"Actually, I also thought about going home. Letters from home urged me again and again, but I was always worried about you. I wanted to go back when you were older and more sensible. Daddy, they are also getting old... but fortunately, now you know how to make progress, so I can rest assured."

"It's better not to grow up..."

Hearing Xie Huanxiu's muttering, Ji Yuan put on a serious face and said, "Huanxiu, you are not young now, how old do you think you are?"

"I'm just talking. The students know that they were too foolish in the past, and they won't want to waste their time like before. Whether the master is there or not, the students will go all out and live up to the master's teachings."

Xie Huanxiu's eyes were red, and he was just complaining casually because he was sad at the thought of Ji Yuan leaving.

"Remember, be cautious in your words and actions, lest in the future, the teacher will say that I didn't teach you well and make him ashamed."

……

This kind of words will indeed be said by Tan Ziqian, Xie Huanxiu can even imagine the way Tan Ziqian said this, casually rolling his eyes, with such a trace of smile, endless ridicule and contempt, it is also very disgusting.

"Yes, the students are taught."

"Master, I will see you off someday."

"Tomorrow."

"So urgent!?"

No matter it was Xie Huanxiu, even the book inkstone beside him was shocked.

"It's not too urgent. I've been waiting for you for a few days. If you come back later, I'm afraid you'll miss it."

"I didn't know you were leaving, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what? We will always meet, and it's not like we won't see each other again."

Although Ji Yuan said so on his lips, he also knew in his heart that it is appropriate to say goodbye.

"I'm not going back tonight."

"I just said that I want to make progress, which would be childish. Brother Xie and the others finally looked forward to you back. It's not right for you to stay here without saying a word."

Xie Huanxiu thought about it too, his heart swelled up, and he had nowhere to vent, he shouted at Shu Yan, "Master will leave tomorrow, you will clean up the room for Master later."

Shu Yan's hands and feet were neat, Xie Huanxiu's voice had just finished, and he also sorted out the things in the study, and there were still two empty boxes left.Hearing what he said, he agreed, and carried the suitcase to Jiyuan's bedroom.

Ji Yuan looked at Shuyan's back, and said to Xie Huanxiu, "Shuyan is really good-tempered too. However, you have to restrain yourself. He has a good temper, so you can't keep losing your temper with him. An honest man is angry. Most terrible."

Xie Huanxiu thought of all the things before, and touched his nose with lingering fear, that's not the reason.

"Shuyan is also a good boy, treat him well."

"Oh, I see."

The crescent moon hangs high, and the books and inkstones have also been packed. The thin and soft bags, and the large luggage are packed separately.Ji Yuan flipped through it casually, and found that the books and inkstones were neat and orderly, which really saved him a lot of trouble.

"Shu Yan, why don't you come and be my book boy."

Upon hearing this, Xie Huanxiu became anxious, "Master, it's not good, I'm still here."

"Oh, that's fine. Let's talk quietly in a while."

Shuyan looked at the two with a naive smile and didn't talk to each other.

"By the way, the biggest box in the study is reserved for you. It's full of books, paintings, inkstones and so on. They're not valuable things, so keep them in your mind."

Xie Huanxiu knew that the box of things was not valuable, but Master Ji liked them all. When he ordered Shu Yan to pack the box, he thought it was for him to take away, but he didn't expect it to be kept for himself.

"Thank you master, I will take good care of it."

"It's just some dead objects, I hope it can be useful to you."

"It's getting late, and you guys should go back earlier. When you have something free, just open the door and come get it yourself."

Xie Huanxiu dawdled a little and didn't want to leave, Shuyan followed him and looked at Ji Yuan.

……

Ji Yuan held the lamp in one hand, and Xie Huanxiu in the other, Shu Yan automatically followed and sent them out.

He handed the lantern to Shuyan, "Go slowly and be safe."

"Ah."

Xie Huanxiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head and met Ji Yuan's eyes, "Master, we will see each other again, right?"

"nature."

After receiving Ji Yuan's reply, Xie Huanxiu raised his robe and knelt down without saying a word.

"Huanxiu has been under the master's school since he was three years old. It has been more than ten years. Reading, literacy, and being a man are all the master's worries. However, the students are stubborn and have a responsibility to teach. Today, the students swear here that they must study hard and make progress. , not to disgrace the name of the teacher."

Shu Yan also knelt down together, bang bang bang, kowtowed three times to Ji Yuan together with Xie Huanxiu.

Ji Yuan is Xie Huanxiu's master and also Shuyan's master.

He didn't know how to read, so Jiyuan taught him the principles of life and "each has his own strengths", for which he has always been grateful.
