Selling desserts in ancient times

Chapter 84

The others ate and drank, chatting and laughing with Ji Wei, the atmosphere was very good, but Zhao Mianguang alone had some special thoughts about Liu Yimian in his heart, he was stumped, he couldn't get involved no matter what, he just sat on the sidelines, especially silence.

Seeing this, Ji Baoshan came up to him and winked at him, "Mian Guang is too quiet today, not like you. Why, is he in a bad mood? Or is this thing not to your liking?" "

No It should be, this cake is sweet and delicious, fluffy and dense, and it has an excellent taste. I see you have been pulling a face since just now, but which one of us has offended you?" Zhao Mianguang usually said nothing The few people, if they are with Lin Tai, can always talk non-stop.

But for some reason, he talked a lot less these days, and he was not often by Lin Tai's side anymore.

On the contrary, he has gained a lot of patience, often answering Liu Yimian's doubts, Ji Baoshan had doubts in his heart, but he never asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that the weather is hot and I don't have much appetite. Although this cake is good, it looks too sweet. If you like it, I'll give you this too. Don't waste it." Mr. Ji sent it all the way." Zhao Mianguang Pushing the cake to Ji Baoshan, the latter was stunned, and held Zhao Mianguang's arm.

"What are you doing? I gave it to you, of course it's for you."

Ji Baoshan said with a smile, leaned into Zhao Mianguang's ear, and lowered his voice, "Even if you don't like it, don't tell it to Ji Wei. This is what they brought for Xiaoliu to eat, we are just enjoying the glory, Mianguang, you are not such a careless person, today is a bit too much." Hearing

Ji Baoshan's words, Zhao Mianguang's heart was shocked.

That's right, it's not like he can afford someone he can't let go of, so why is he messing up in front of others today, he doesn't have to let others look down on him.

"What Baoshan said is true, then I have to give it a try. In addition to thanking Mr. Ji, I also want to thank Yimian." Zhao Mianguang laughed, and sat on the stool to bow to Liu Yimian, "If it wasn't for your Light, how can we eat such a rare thing as cake."

"How come..." Liu Yimian opened his mouth to say something, but Ji Wei grabbed his wrist, and he stopped talking all of a sudden, looking at him a little at a loss.

"If Mr. Zhao is not good at this, you don't have to force yourself. Everyone has their own preferences, and you can't force it." Ji Wei half leaned on the bed and looked at Zhao Mianguang with a smile.

"How do you say that? How do you know you don't like it if you haven't tried it?" Zhao Mianguang took a bite of the cake, with a look of enjoyment on his face, then opened his eyes, looked at Ji Wei clearly, shook his head and said, "Try After a while, I found out that the cake made by Mr. Ji is really sweet but not greasy, and tastes very good." "

I came all the way, the weather is hot, and it is very lucky that the cake didn't melt. It seems that even God wants you Try it." After the cake is made, it is best to refrigerate it at a low temperature so that it will not melt.

But in this place where there is nothing, where is the refrigerator to keep it cold? In the shop, it can still be kept with well water. When going out, the only way to put a thick cotton cloth around the box and put the cake box in a small wooden box to insulate it from the high temperature is to send the cake to the academy intact.

"Although Changliu Town is adjacent to Daxi Town, it will take a lot of time to come here. Since Mr. Ji came to the academy with a cake, it shows that he cares about Yimian very much. But I don't understand that you care about him. How can you rest assured that he will stay in an unfamiliar place like the Academy?" Zhao Mianguang looked directly at Ji Wei, as if he wanted to see his heart.

But Ji Wei, how could he be overwhelmed by his momentum.

He casually turned his face away, clenched Liu Yimian's wrist, and looked at him deeply, "Yes, Daxi Town is so far away, he is a brother, why should I send him to a college full of men?"

"Brother Ji...?" Liu Yimian looked at Ji Wei, his heart clenched.

Zhao Mianguang's gaze is fixed on Ji Wei.

"Who made him like to study."

Ji Wei sighed, with a bit of helplessness on his face, "I can't teach him. If I don't let him go to the academy, wouldn't it delay him? Even scholars praise him for being smart, yes Good material for studying."

"But you can come up with this idea, normal people would not let Brother Liu study in the academy." Lin Tai couldn't help but say something.

Although he didn't even have any feelings about Liu Yimian's coming to the academy to study.

But most of the students in the academy didn't see it that way. They clamored for Liu Yimian to go home, thinking that brother should stay at home to take care of the housework, take care of the husband and raise the children, instead of coming to the academy to sit in the same lecture hall with them, Practice calligraphy, read books, and write articles.

For most people, they feel offended.

"Even Mianguang had such doubts at the beginning." As soon as

Lin Tai said this, Zhao Mianguang's energy suddenly dissipated, and when he came into contact with Ji Wei's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, he suddenly felt ashamed, and his cheeks burned like fire. Burn up.

"The lotus is elegant and elegant, and the pearls are precious and gorgeous. One is born from mud, and the other is born from sand, but I have never seen anyone despise their humble origins. What's more, although my brother is slightly different from men, he can come from the law of Dagan. He said that he is no different from ordinary men. The reason why my brothers are far inferior to men today is because they are constrained by the eyes of the world. If they didn't look down on my brothers and compare them to women, why would there be no brothers today? My son goes to the county school to study? If someone really tries to overcome all opinions and do things that ordinary people can't do, when he stands on a peak that most people can't reach, even if he is a brother, then everyone will only call him He's a genius!"

Even if Ji Wei never followed Liu Yimian and saw him being excluded by his classmates, just think about how sexism and racial discrimination are inevitable even in modern times, and you can know what kind of life he lived in the academy day.

Liu Yimian raised her head slightly, looked at the roof, not wanting to let tears flow down, and let other people see her weakness.

He never thought of letting Ji Wei know what happened to him in the academy, nor did he want to embarrass him. But the exclusion and neglect of others still made him cry silently at night.

But Ji Wei can say such words today, it is tantamount to the dawn breaking through the long night, all grievances and helplessness disappear at this moment.

Even if Ji Wei is not around in the future, what he said today can continue to protect and accompany him, so that he will no longer hesitate.

Liu Yimian sniffled, and suddenly felt that the room was a little out of breath.

"I'm going out to get some air." He left the words, ran out of the house with his head down, and hid in the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest was empty, he was the only one, Liu Yimian no longer had to be afraid of being seen by others, so he lay down on the bamboo, covered his face and cried.

*****

"This is something new, I've never heard anyone say it before." Ji Baoshan was dumbfounded when he heard that, if Liu Yimian hadn't run away from him and woke him up, he might not have recovered by now.

There are few brothers, but because they are weaker than ordinary men, and their fertility is not as good as women, they are looked down upon and their status is low.

According to what Ji Wei said, the brother is not useless, on the contrary, he is much luckier than the woman.

At least in terms of law, they are equal to men, and what women can do, brothers can also do. What ordinary men can do, if my brother has the ability, he can also do it.

"Listening to Jun's words is really better than reading ten years of books." Ji Baoshan couldn't help feeling emotional.

"What's so difficult about it, it's just that the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear." Ji Weiman said indifferently.

He came from a later life and was used to the equality of everyone. If he grew up in such an environment, he might be like them.

It would be a good thing if they could change their minds.

"You have great talent, I'm not as good as you, I'm not as good as you!" Zhao Mianguang punched the table, before the others could react, raised his sleeve to cover his face, and left in a hurry.

"Mianguang, where are you going?" Lin Tai only had time to call him, and by the time he finished speaking, Zhao Mianguang had long since disappeared.

"Hey, what's wrong with him? It doesn't look right."

Ji Baoshan chased a few steps, stood at the door watching Zhao Mianguang go away, and frowned tightly, "It was fine at noon, it seems From the moment you enter the room, your words are a bit strange."

"I don't blame him, it's human nature."

"What's normal? Why do I think you're playing riddles with us?" Ji Baoshan walked up to Lin Tai, "Lin Tai , do you know?"

"I don't know what it is, but I know that you should not go to him for a few days. With his temperament, he can solve it by himself after a while." "You guys sit here

, I'll go out for a while. If you want to go, just close the door for me."

Lin Tai showed a clear look, waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, you can stay outside as long as you want, and leave us alone."

Ji Weida He went out with a smile.

*****

Liu Yimian wiped away her tears and was about to go back to the house when she saw Zhao Mianguang covering her face and leaving, her back hurried, as if something happened.

"Brother Ji, where are you going?" Liu Yimian stopped Ji Wei who came out after him, and ran to him.

Little did he know that his eyes were red like a rabbit, and he knew that he had cried a lot.

"I came to find you." Ji Wei stretched out his hands to pick up the withered yellow leaves that fell from his hair, and said with a smile, "I didn't notice the leaves on his head? If I hadn't found out, I'm afraid I would have become a laughing stock." Liu Yimian said

, Subconsciously reached out to touch the head, "Is there any more?"

"No more."

Ji Wei blew the leaf off. Liu Yimian was embarrassed to look at Ji Wei, lowered her eyes, and stared at his collar, " Why

did Mian Guang leave in such a hurry? What happened just now?"

Well."

"Mian Guang is so motivated, I can't fall behind." Liu Yimian suddenly grabbed Ji Wei's sleeve, "Brother Ji should go back to bed and lie down, drink more hot water, I'll get the book, is that book Put it on..."

"It's just a slight heat stroke."

"But—"

"Either I'll get it, or you go with me, you choose." "

Then...then let's go together." Liu Yimian's heart beat like a drum, With his hands twisted in front of him, he felt a little nervous.

They haven't seen each other for many days, and it's rare for the two of them to be alone, so he couldn't help but feel a little bit reluctant to let go.

Ji Wei is tall and has big strides. He didn't see Liu Yimian while walking, so he turned around and stretched out a hand to him, urging him: "Hurry up and keep up, if you walk like this, you won't be able to come back after dark. "

The stables are not far away, and Liu Yimian only thought that Ji Wei was impatient with his slow walking, so she said harsh words, trotted to his side, and whispered: "I'm sorry, Brother Ji, I walked too slowly, I must follow ——"

Liu Yimian froze suddenly, lowered her head, and stared blankly at the hands they held, unable to react for a while.

"That's good, I'm going fast, you have to keep up." Ji Wei clenched his hands, licked the corners of his lips at Liu Yimian, pulled him who was stiff, and stumbled forward.

He thought it was just a little liking.

But when he noticed Zhao Mianguang's shadowy gaze and his vague provocations, the unhappiness in his heart was hard to swallow like a lump in his throat.

Thinking that when he was not around, Zhao Mianguang would deliberately approach, press every step of the way, and might even provoke his relationship with Liu Yimian, Ji Wei couldn't help tearing down his platform directly, and even forced him to hide his face and leave.

Ji Wei admits that he is actually a narrow-minded man.

"Next time we meet, thank Zhao Mianguang for me." Ji Wei smiled, sweeping away the gloomy unhappiness just now.

Liu Yimian's head was dizzy, and she always felt that something was different, but she couldn't think of it. He didn't listen to what Ji Wei said, and just let out a sound, and opened a pair of big black eyes, looking at Ji Wei innocently. he.

"It's fine if you don't hear it, stay away from Zhao Mianguang in the future." Ji Wei raised the hands they held together and tightened the strength in his hands.

Liu Yimian felt the pain, frowned slightly, and said hello.

"Mianmian, grow up quickly."

Ji Wei brushed away the broken hair on Liu Yimian's forehead, and gently stroked his cheek.

The warm wind was slightly drunk in the afternoon, and Liu Yimian seemed drunk, a little dazed.

"...What did you say? Say it again, okay?"
