It’s nothing, I just find it interesting

Xie Yuan watched this scene and was amused by Shen Liuzhen's clumsiness. He stretched out his hand to help him pull down the tablecloth.

Shen Liuzhen's head was full of hair, and Xie Yuan's face was full of tears. The two looked at each other, each feeling embarrassed for a moment.

They were all in a state of embarrassment just now, so this time they can be considered even.

So he looked away at the same time.

Shen Liuzhen sat next to Xie Yuan and asked cautiously: "A Yuan, why are you so sad? You are hiding here crying alone."

The tears that Xie Yuan had forgotten burst out again. She twisted her face to hold back and said, "My mother insisted on letting me be her daughter. I didn't like it, so she beat me and called me obscene."

Shen Liuzhen had been with Xie Yuan for so long, so he naturally knew that this was a big problem for her. After thinking about it and not knowing how to comfort her, he simply patted her on the shoulder and said:

"Good brother! I support you! No matter what others say, I have always felt that you are much better than me and more qualified to be an upright man. I will always support you!"

Xie Yuan looked at Shen Liuzhen, and he was not a little moved in his heart. When everyone did not support her and doubted her, it was such a rare thing for someone to suddenly say this, but...

"Are you serious? Are you here to coax me?" Xie Yuan looked at him with the corners of his red phoenix eyes and asked suspiciously.

Shen Liuzhen is used to talking nonsense to people and lying to ghosts. If you hadn't fallen into his trap in the end, you would have always felt that he was close to you.

This question really made Shen Liuzhen feel wronged. He smiled bitterly and said: "A Yuan, conscience of heaven and earth, when will I be in front of you..."

He rolled his eyes, recalled the past fights between himself and Xie Yuan, and finally found the right word: "...Have you ever faked it?"

The tears on Xie Yuan's face were not yet dry, but he snorted disdainfully and asked, "Are you too fake?"

"...I was just lying to show others. I've always been honest with you, right? I even lied in front of you." Shen Liuzhen said quite proudly, as if this matter was so important. Just like something worth showing off.

Seeing him asking for credit like this, Xie Yuan grinned. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or angry... He was just panicked.

Seeing that she was silent, Shen Liuzhen assumed that his show of loyalty had won.

So he poked her with his elbow and said: "Hey... you know, I just went to see it. The things we got back from Zhang Guo, relying on the teacher's eloquence, I guess we can exchange for a lot of things, and also There is a man who is willing to help out some of his craftsmen to help build the house."

Xie Yuan's eyes lit up, and the depressed mood just now was gone. He quickly climbed out from under the table and went to see for himself.

Then he remembered something again, turned around, picked up the map and tablecloth that had fallen on the ground, and said to Shen Liuzhen who was lingering:

"Help me."

The map was a marching territory map drawn during the Jin Dynasty, covering the current northern and southern regions. It has been supplemented and revised, and is the largest and most complete version today. Therefore, the map is very large and can be used as a sheet for Xie Yuan.

Maps like this were only in the hands of generals fighting on the front lines. In order to teach Xie Yuan, Father Shen hired a military cartography artist and spent a year making a copy and putting it at home.

And a table suitable for it was specially customized for Xie Yuan to study.

In the past, when he didn't know that Xie Yuan was a girl, he often took her lying on the map, looking at and explaining the terrain one by one. He would also use some practical examples to deduce the map with her.

Later, when I found out that she was a girl, my enthusiasm for teaching her dissipated a lot.

Xie Yuan put a corner of the tablecloth into Shen Liuzhen's hands. Shen Liuzhen pulled it around the table, and the two of them stretched it flat and put it on the table together.

The tablecloth puffed up in the wind, blocking the two people's sight, and then fell back, revealing the person opposite.

For some reason, Shen Liuzhen found this kind of cooperation very interesting and couldn't help but smile at Xie Yuan. However, Xie Yuan ignored him at all and just took the map and gave him two more cents.

The two people stood across from the huge table, facing each other from a distance. Because of their stretching, the huge territory map blew up a wind bag, blocking each other, and then fell down again.

Paved...

Xie Yuan stretched out his hand to smooth the map, picked up the paperweight that fell on the ground, and threw it to Shen Liuzhen across the table.

Shen Liuzhen held it in his hands.

Xie Yuan pushed the paperweight in his hand onto the table and looked up to see Shen Liuzhen opposite, holding the paperweight and smiling silly at her.

Xie Yuan asked confusedly: "Why are you laughing?"

Shen Liuzhen tilted his head, holding the paperweight in one hand, and lifting up his wide Confucian scholar sleeves with the other hand. While putting it down, he said:

"I don't know why, but I think it's very interesting how we are doing now."

Xie Yuan saw that the dimples on his cheeks were deep and his eyes were shining with joy, and he was even more confused.

Huh, Xie Yuan couldn't help but curse in his heart. He has always been thoughtful, who knows what kind of things are in his stomach.

…

…

Later, Xie Jiaming explained to all the guests that the gifts this time would be used to resettle refugees, and then packed the things and sent them to the capital. They raised funds in the name of all the famous families in Huai'an County, in exchange for a grant from the court. forage……

Although the troops at the front were fighting, there was not much food and grass to allocate, and the little they were given was barely enough.

But there is always no strength.

Xie's father handed Shen Liuzhen a list of all the things collected and the warrants for transfer, and said:

"I just hope that this war will end soon, if not..."

He hesitated for a moment, then looked up at the two children and saw that they were looking at the thing in his hand, their eyes burning with the light of hope.

In the end, he didn't say those old words that poured cold water on him. He just stuffed something into Shen Liuzhen's hand, patted his young shoulder again, and said:

"Go ahead and do your best."

…

…

Since Zhou Tuzi "reformed" and surrendered, he has never returned to his home. He has been tied up in the Shen family all his life, like a domestic servant.

This made him very dissatisfied.

The reason why he carefully curry favor with these powerful people is to provide him with a backing to act tyrannically outside. He is not just to sit next to the powerful people and act like a slave with a pommel horse and a stool.

Moreover, those soldiers of the Shen family, and that Xie Yuan... were too diligent. They got up before dawn every day to practice running. It was only because Xie Yuan didn't want to see him that he escaped the fate of following him. .

But Shen Liuzhen also went to Xie's house to study early in the morning with a lantern.

That's too rude...

The masters have all gotten up, and which servant is still lazy? Even if he has nothing important to do, he still has to be woken up early, and stands outside in the dim light of the sky, yawning, and enduring...

Damn it, when will this kind of day end?

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Shen Liuzhen walking towards him with many people.
