Since the last incident, when Qingsheng and Shen Jingli stayed alone, they never did needlework any more. Instead, they stared at Shen Jingli and talked about some gossip about the village, as if afraid that he would run out again. Shen Jingli knew that the last incident had frightened him and followed him. He just stayed at home, which was really boring. He asked Mu Yu's boy to buy a pile of pens in Jinling City Ink, paper and inkstone, when you have nothing to do, draw a design drawing or draw a story book.

"Sister in law, what do you draw?" Celebrating his birthday, he grinds for Shen Jingli. Looking at the picture he drew, he asks curiously.

Shen Jingli is painting the story of his adaptation of "grey brother". He has just been painting to attend a grand festival. When he hears the question of birthday celebration, he answers casually, "a story."

Seeing that Shen Jingli's painting was serious, he didn't continue to ask questions. Instead, he picked up the picture he had drawn before. The more he looked at it, the more he became fascinated. He became more interested in the ending of brother gray. However, he did not dare to disturb Shen Jingli's paintings, so he had to wait. Shen Jingli was not used to painting with brush, so he drew slowly. When he stopped writing, it was time for dinner. Old master mu, who had gone to celebrate his birthday in taishu's house, and others had already come back, sighed helplessly and went to the kitchen with Jinyu.

"Sister in law, we are back." Mu Jin carries xun'er into the door. As soon as xun'er sees Shen Jingli, he immediately struggles to get down from Mu Jin's arms, pours on Shen Jingli's legs, and talks about the things that happened at the party today.

"Am, you see, they gave me red envelopes." Xun'er took out the red envelope he had obtained as a treasure and handed it to Shen Jingli.

Miao'er, dressed in a red coat and holding a pile of red packets, stood on tiptoe to show Shen Jingli. His cheeks were reddish and his appearance was very lovely. Shen Jingli held out his hand and said, "xun'er is really powerful, and he has got so many red envelopes."

Get Shen Jingli praise, Xun Er satisfied smile, put the red envelope into Shen Jingli's pocket, "am, these red envelopes are for you, you take to buy things for your brother to eat."

Mu Jin heard, can not help but tease him, "our Xunzi is really good, so young know how to love his brother."

Xun'er puffed up his small chest with pride and said, "I am a brother.

"The people next to him couldn't help laughing. Mu Jin even rushed forward, touched his face and rubbed it randomly, which made xun'er almost cry.

After dinner, the family sat in the courtyard and talked about their family affairs. After a long time of looking at Shen Jingli and xun'er for a long time, he said, "Jingli, we have to go back to the capital tomorrow. You can't make a long journey for a while. I'm afraid you have to stay in MUJIAZHUANG for a long time."

After hearing this, Shen Jingli just nodded. Old master Mu San and brother Mu Yu were both officials in the court. They were busy with business. How could they stay in MUJIAZHUANG?

"I'll stay here to take care of my sister-in-law." Mu Jin said that he had promised his elder brother that he would take good care of his sister-in-law and xun'er. naturally, he could not leave his sister-in-law and xun'er here and run back to the capital.

Old master Mu San nodded and then said, "I have already said hello to Tingzhi. If you are in trouble, please go to their father and son, and they will help you."

The three brothers of Mu Yu went back to their rooms to have a rest after talking about Mu Chen's going to the south.

Because he was thinking about the story of "brother gray", he followed Shen Jingli into the room, waited on Shen Jingli to wash, and then asked him the follow-up of the story, "sister-in-law, did gray brother-in-law go to the festival? Did he meet his stepmother, brother and sister? Is his stepmother... "

The problems of celebrating one's birthday came out in series. Shen Jingli's head was a little big.

"Do you know gray brother?" He thought he was illiterate. Shen Jingli poured a cup of water to celebrate his birthday. "Thirsty, drink some water."

After taking the water cup on his birthday, he moistened his throat and said, "I I can read some words. "

Shen Jingli felt uncomfortable when he spoke, but he didn't care, "do you like that story?"

The life of the ancient eight was so boring that they were fascinated by a few familiar modern stories.

"Yes." Birthday nods, takes Shen Jingli's hand, and continues to ask about the end of the story.

"Cough, cough, cough." Shen Jingli pretended to clear his throat before telling the story of grey brother to his birthday celebration. This story was adapted from Cinderella and Ye Jian's story, but changed the gender of the protagonist into Shuanger.

When he heard that gray brother-in-law was living happily with the prince who was the king, he was moved to tears, took Shen Jingli's hand and asked, "sister-in-law, can Shuanger be so happy?"

Shen Jingli looked at his crying appearance. He was not used to it. He took a handkerchief and rubbed it on his face. "Are you living well with Tu Wu? Why do you ask such questions? "

"I'm afraid I'll implicate him," he said

"Why do you think so?" Shen Jingli poured himself a cup of warm water to moisten his throat.

Qingsheng lowered his head and stammered, "can, can, but I am I am a servant's child, and I am a twin. Yi fan is a scholar and will take an examination in the future. He married me and was not treated by his family. I'm worried... " Qingsheng's parents are the servants of the wealthy jinlingcheng family. He can be said to be the son of that family. Since he was a servant and his two sons, he was not well received. Later, he met Mu Yifan and they fell in love with each other. Mu Yifan redeemed him and married him. However, his family didn't like him. He also blamed Mu Yifan for failing to pass the exam last time He.After seeing him for a while, Shen Jingli continued, "how do you think I've been with fourteen?"

"Very happy." Mu Chen's kindness to Shen Jingli is obvious to all. Both of them are twins. In fact, he envies Shen Jingli in his birthday celebration.

"Do you know how I married him?"

"For you, my Lord." This is what he heard from his mother-in-law. He said that sister-in-law Jing Li was the prince of Nanping, who was personally appointed by the emperor. He married the fourteenth elder brother because of his contribution to movable type printing and disaster relief. Hearing this answer, Shen Jingli couldn't help laughing. He was afraid that the saying was released by the old master Mu San, and that the people of Mu family village would look down on him if they knew his real origin. He was a little puzzled when he listened to his smile. Was he wrong? But mother-in-law did say so.

"That's right. The emperor did marry us." Seeing his doubts, Shen Jingli nodded and said, "actually, my parents sold me to Mu Chen as a concubine at first." The original owner also saw Mu Chen take it up with his own eyes, but he never saw it again after he passed through. Later, he didn't know what Mu Chen had done. Unexpectedly, he took a marriage letter from the county government office, and he became his wife who was engaged in three books and six engagements.

The birthday celebration was so shocked that he couldn't believe the news. Shen Jingli reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "There are so many twins in the world, and not all of them are so miserable. By the way, are you going to sleep here tonight? "

Speaking of words, Shen Jingli suddenly thought of the sleeping talk in the boys' dormitory. He talked about the goddess who was happy and talked about the meat jokes and the games he played recently In fact, he was very happy, but he and Shen Jingli had doubts about how to raise a child and how to be a good husband?

"May I?"

"No problem." When two meet, there must be attack? Don't be kidding.

"Can you tell me other stories, sister-in-law?" The birthday party actively ran to make the bed.

Shen Jingli suddenly has the feeling of lifting a stone to hit his own feet. He doesn't like to tell stories.

"What story do you want to hear?" It's better to tell a story than to talk about a pregnant husband's Sutra or a man's ring of two sons. Shen Jingli comforts himself in his heart.

"Sister in law knows a lot of stories?" Qingsheng took off his shoes and socks and lay on the outside. Hearing Shen Jingli's words, he opened his mouth excitedly. He seemed very happy that he had the right to choose. Shen Jingli wants to bite his tongue again and make your mouth cheap. Well, I guess I don't have to sleep all night.

"There are" Tian Luo Shuanger "," magic pen Ma Liang "," Liang Zhu " Shen Jingli said a few casually. When he was a child, he liked to read story collections, so he knew many kinds of stories, ancient and modern, all over the world. "Sister in law, you know so many stories."

Shen Jingli was a little embarrassed to be flattered, so he chose a story about Tian Luo Shuanger to tell him. Indeed, as Shen Jingli thought, after listening to one story, he asked about the next story. He was not allowed to rest until very late. Early in the morning of the third day, old master Mu San, Mu Yu and Mu Jing set out to return to Beijing. They left Shen Jingli several thousand taels of silver, two carriages, two yard guards and a coachman. They also told Shen Jingli that Jingzheng had sent Ding people over, and it was estimated that they would arrive in a few days.

After seeing them off, Shen Jingli continued to live a life of painting stories and telling stories to celebrate his birthday. Qingsheng was fascinated by Shen Jingli's stories. After listening to them, he turned around and told them to Mu Xi and the children in the village. As soon as their house opened in the morning, a group of children rushed in to listen to the stories.

"Mu Xi, do you am tell us a story today?" A little Shuanger of the same age as Mu Xi grabbed Mu Xi who was about to go out and asked in a low voice. Because the birthday celebrations tell stories about Shuanger as the protagonist, most of the people who come to listen to the stories are the village's little Shuanger, aged between five and 13 years old. There are about a dozen people who report early in the morning every day.

"I don't know. I am not up yet. Why don't you ask sister Jinyu." Mu Xi Sai gave the sweets to Shuanger, carrying the basket, ready to go to the flower field at the foot of the mountain to pick some flowers and come back to make a corolla. The little Shuanger didn't want to ask, so she held Mu Xi and didn't let him go. "Mu Xi, help me to go in and ask. If you am still telling a story, I'll go to cut the pig grass and listen to it immediately.

"

seeing that he was so persistent that he was not easy to refuse, Mu Xi had to turn around and go into the room to help him ask. It happened that he had just got up to wash his birthday.

"Am, Munch asked me to tell you a story today?"

"Yes, come here when you've finished him."

Little Shuanger in the village has no entertainment. Every day he helps his family to work and learn how to sew. It is rare that they like these stories and are happy to celebrate their birthday. In addition, when he is free, he is willing to tell them stories.

When Mu Xi got the letter, he happily went to reply to Muqi and asked him to go up the mountain. It happened that he went to the foot of the mountain to hunt pig grass.
