Chapter 41 Ah Huang

When he saw the county magistrate, he changed into his regular clothes and looked dignified and dignified.

How many people will never see the county magistrate in their lifetime, not to mention Fang Shujing, even his fake father, Mr. Xu, can only be brothers with Lu Quantou at most. I haven't even met the county magistrate a few times.

When the county magistrate saw that Fang Shujing was neither humble nor arrogant, he was filled with admiration, so much so that his knees trembled and he was so nervous that he could not speak. Having stayed in this environment all year round, the county magistrate also enjoyed the benefits that this right brought him.

But he didn't expect to offend someone he couldn't afford to offend. The young Marquis was someone who had met Long Live Lord. Even in this remote county, he had heard of the heroism of the young Marquis who entered and exited the enemy camp three times. He is a promising official with no background as a servant.

The young Marquis asked about Fang Shujing, but he didn't understand anything about it. He quickly cleared up Fang Shujing's previous matters and posted an announcement. I invited Fang Shujing to talk, but he didn't come for a few days. The county magistrate was all on tenterhooks, fearing that if he didn't do enough, the young marquis would come back to settle the score with him.

Seeing Fang Shujing, he was half relieved and said, "What happened before was all a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been explained clearly, let's let it go."

Fang Shujing said, "That's what the Lord said."

The county magistrate observed him . Without any dissatisfaction, he put his partner's heart at ease and said: "I have heard that you have solid knowledge. Come, let me test you." The county magistrate was also a scholar at that time, and his knowledge was comparable to that of a scholar. Mr. Hu is even stronger.

Fang Shujing said: "I would like to hear the details." Then he saw the county magistrate write twice: "This is my answer."

Fang Shujing has never neglected his studies. He has solid basic skills, plus writing Ben often writes. The paper was written quickly and well.

After writing it quickly, I checked it again and handed it to the county magistrate!

The county magistrate did not expect that he answered the paper so quickly and thought he wrote casually. But when I took the paper and looked at it, my eyes lit up and I said yes again and again.

It can be seen that he has read the Four Books and Five Classics by heart, and many allusions have been used in it. The writing is to the point and has depth. It is indeed a good piece of writing.

The county prince said, "What a rare young talent."

"Thank you, sir."

The county prince nodded, then took out a letter from the table and said, "This is my recommendation for you to go to Shanlin Academy. Letter, Mr. Luo there is my junior brother. He is very knowledgeable. You should study hard when you go in. When you go out, you will represent our county. Don't embarrass me."

This letter of recommendation from the county magistrate is extremely weighty.

After entering the academy, you can still choose a good teacher to study with, which is simply taking a shortcut in the imperial examination process.

"Thank you, sir. I will live up to your wishes."

The county magistrate became more and more satisfied after hearing this. All these things he made were originally for the young Marquis to see. But seeing that Fang Shujing was so righteous, she also started to think about making friends with him. Fang Shujing is so young and has such solid knowledge. If he can become famous in the future, he will have a share of his contribution.

Then he opened another box, which contained three banknotes, each worth fifty taels, and together they amounted to one hundred and fifty taels: "These are the county's money to reward outstanding students. Here they are for you." , study hard."

"I can't have this..."

The county magistrate said, "Take it, it's expensive to study at Shanlin Academy."

Fang Shujing saw what he said and had to accept it. Including these one hundred and fifty taels, he already has 950 taels to look at.

After going out, Lu Quantou was already waiting at the door. Fang Shujing became more and more enthusiastic and said, "Master Fang, I have a good place here. Let's go out to eat something." His eyes lit up when he looked at Fang Shujing.

He just listened at the door. The county magistrate gave Fang Shujing money for studying, and he also said it was a reward from the county. He had never heard of a sum of money like this in the county in all the years he had been here. It was obviously because the county magistrate wanted to give it to him, so he gave it to him for some random reason.

Even the county magistrate, the top leader, looked up to Fang Shujing with special regard, and a little guy like him had to be taken good care of.

Hearing that Fang Shujing was a very upright person, he didn't take him to any place where he drank flower wine. He just found a tavern and said a few words: "In the future, if there is anything you can't handle in the county, you can Just tell me."

After hearing this, Fang Shujing took out a fifty-tael banknote and handed it to Lu Baotou and said, "I'm going to go to school, please help me take care of it." He was most concerned about it. It's the Fang family's old house and his little daughter-in-law.

Lu Qantou specializes in taking care of those lawless elements. If someone is planning to target them, he will be in charge.

Lu Quantou was not afraid that Fang Shujing would ask him to do something, but he was afraid that he would not ask him for something. When he heard that Fang Shujing was asking for something, he smiled and said, "I'll keep this one." Then he pushed the banknote back and looked at it. The denomination on it was a bit tempting to him. Fifty taels was enough for him to make money in half a year. This scholar is not as poor as everyone has said!

He had money and was willing to spend it. Lu Quantou's opinion of him became more and more high. He is a rough man and usually doesn't like to interact with those scholars. They are all pretentious. If something really happened, how many years of studying would he be able to solve it?

But Fang Shujing is an anomaly. He seems to be gentle and gentle, but he is very understanding of people and the world.

Fang Shujing said: "Just keep this and treat it like I'm treating you to a drink. Please take extra care when I'm not here."

The deer head was not wanted, but Fang Shujing insisted on giving it. Such a large sum of money is really worth it. It's so greedy. Lu Quantou half-pushed and said: "That's it, I'll take it. If there are those people who don't open their eyes and come to make trouble in the future, see if I don't kill them." After making friends with Fang Shujing and receiving a large sum of money, he became even more happy. He took Fang Shujing to drink.

Before leaving, he took out two jars of bamboo leaf green that he had stored for five years, as well as the new rock tea he bought, and gave them to Fang Shujing.

These two things alone are worth forty taels.

Fang Shujing said: "Brother Lu, this is too expensive, and it's not easy to buy even if you have money."

Lu Qantou drinks all the year round, and he is still not drunk after drinking these few drinks with Fang Shujing. He looks at Fang Shujing appreciatively He glanced at it and said, "I am a good drinker and a tea drinker, so I have saved so many good things. I dragged a lot of people to do it, but Brother Fang knows the goods." After thinking about it, he still felt that he had accepted fifty taels from others. It was inappropriate, but there was no change, so I took out the good things I had collected as a personal transaction.

Lu Quantou said: "You can take it and drink it. I don't feel sorry for a knowledgeable person like you."

Fang Shujing said: "Then I won't be polite. If brother Lu wakes up after drinking, don't worry." Come to me and ask for it," he joked.

Lu Quantou smiled and said: "Take it quickly, otherwise I will regret it immediately." Although these things are worth forty taels, they cannot be bought with money.

All the good things he had saved were given to Fang Shujing.

But it wasn't for nothing. Fang Shujing got closer to him, which was better than anything else.

After Fang Shujing drank, the ox cart was too slow to return to the village, so he simply found a carriage to go back early.

He was a little sleepy when he first entered the carriage. He was just about to go to sleep, but he happened to encounter Chui Chui Dita who was greeting the bride along the way. The sound was so loud that he couldn't sleep. After the wedding team left and Fang Shujing left the county town, he lifted the curtain to get some air.

This groom is a warm and generous man. The other party Shujing said: "Young master, it was the Xu family's wedding. Didn't you know that the Xu family exchanged sons with others back then? This young master is all about wine, sex and wealth. He was in prison a few days ago, and after he came out, his health was not good, so he happily married Miss Feng. "It was also spread in the county.

The groom had no idea that the guest he brought was the other protagonist in the child exchange case.

Fang Shujing said: "Oh."

After the groom finished talking about this, he talked about other gossips in the county. With him beside him to relieve his boredom, the road passed very quickly.

Fang Shujing arrived at the place and gave him the fare before going home.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw my daughter-in-law making a small ball and having fun playing with the puppy.

Liu Yechen saw Fang Shujing and said, "Ms. sir, we have a puppy at home." He looked so chubby and cute.

Fang Shujing said: "I brought it back, and I haven't given it a name yet."

Liu Yechen said: "It's called Ah Huang." He had already chosen a name.

Fang Shujing squatted down and stretched out his hand, and Ah Huang ran over happily. As he ran, his ears were flapping, his little feet climbed tightly into Fang Shujing's hand, and his tail was wagging happily and slapping him. Palm.

Liu Yechen couldn't help but asked beside him: "Where have you been? You still smell of alcohol."

Fang Shujing said: "Go to the county to do something. From now on, if there is anything at home, you can send it Go to Lu Quantou for help."

Liu Yechen looked at him and said, "I have been living in the village since I was a child. There were not so many dangers." Besides, he also has medical skills, so ordinary people can't bully him. Close.

Fang Shujing leaned over, kissed Liu Yechen's neck, and said, "Liu'er, come with me."

Her warm lips touched his neck, and a numbing feeling spread to his limbs. skeleton. Liu Yechen said: "No... I want to be at home." If he were around, it would delay my husband's study and education.

Besides, we need someone at home in case the master comes back.

Fang Shujing said a little aggrievedly, "Oh."

Liu Yechen's heart softened and he said, "You should go to bed early after drinking." This will save you the headache after catching the wind outside.

Fang Shujing's eyes lit up, and he looked at Liu Yechen with a stern gaze and said, "Then you sleep with me."

Liu Yechen's face turned red on the spot, what if her mother-in-law Fang came to visit her in broad daylight?

Ah Huang didn't know what the two masters were talking about. He just felt that the atmosphere was strange and raised his little head: "Wow?"

Liu Yechen was so embarrassed that he turned around and left.

Fang Shujing tapped Ah Huang's forehead with his finger and said dotingly: "Don't bark blindly."

Then he put the puppy on the ground and followed him back to the house.

Ah Huang barked twice, but when no one paid attention to him, he could hold his tail in his mouth and spin around in the yard...

Chapter 42 Going out to study

When Feng Ziyan got married, there were only a few people playing music and playing, and they looked very shabby. I heard that Fang Shujing rented a sedan from the county when he married his wife in the village. After all, she married into the wealthy Xu family, but she was a half-brother. Not old sedan.

Before she got engaged, there were many matchmakers who talked about getting married, so why did she end up like this now? Nothing compared to the little sisters she often played with in the county. If her family hadn't insisted on letting him marry Xu Ziyang, she would have regretted the marriage. When she got married, she cried very miserably. Her parents thought she was reluctant to leave her parents' family, but in fact she was crying because she had encountered unkind people in her life. He saw a big fire pit and had to jump into it.

Finally, the wedding day arrived. She got up before dawn in the morning and was busy washing and dressing up. She didn't have any water or rice until noon, and now she was so hungry that she was panicking. But as a newlywed wearing a hijab, she couldn't move until the groom came.

The hair ornament on her head was also very heavy, and the pressure on her neck hurt. After sitting there for another two hours, she went from being aggrieved at the beginning to becoming angry.

Then I heard Grandma Xi say: "The groom is here, let's all go out."

Then she took out all the girls who were waiting inside.

Feng Ziyan smelled a strong smell of alcohol. She hadn't eaten anything and felt nauseous.

Xu Ziyang got Feng Ziyan long before he got married. He had seen all the things he had never seen before, and he didn't have the excitement of waiting for others to get married. He directly lifted the hijab with his hand and said: "This place is not like my parents' home. From now on, everything will come first with me." After saying this, I still felt a little sleepy. He pulled the bride aside and said, "Get out of here and let me sleep for a while."

After saying that, he lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Women all look forward to the romance on their wedding night. Feng Ziyan was so angry that she burst into tears. If she was given such a big blow on her wedding day, would she have a good life in the future?

Just as Feng Ziyan expected, the father-in-law and mother-in-law were not enthusiastic about the tea ceremony the next day.

It is true that Xu Ziyang is their biological son, but he is not the only son in the Xu family. There has been a lot of embarrassment in the past few days since he came back, and he is a bit dissatisfied with all these things, and his new wife has also been affected.

Feng Ziyan's heart dropped when she saw the current situation of the Xu family. She cried for half the night yesterday and didn't eat anything. She didn't feel very well this morning. When I got up, I suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.

The Xu family was in a state of panic. The new daughter-in-law fainted while serving tea. On the one hand, she felt unlucky and on the other hand, she had to call a doctor.

After the doctor finished looking at it, he said with a strange expression: "I'm not good at studying medicine, and I didn't look at the young lady's illness. You'd better hire someone else."

The Xu family became more and more upset. They shouldn't have gotten married so early. They wanted to get married just to celebrate. , why do you still marry a sick man?

The medicine boy who waited until he left Xu's house and helped the doctor carry the box said: "Master, the young lady's pulse is Ximai." Even he, who has studied medical skills for several years, can see it, but why the master can't tell.

The doctor said to the little medicine boy next to him: "Do you know why I can be a doctor in a wealthy family? It's not about my medical skills, it's about saying what should be said and not saying what shouldn't be said."

The last time Xu Ziyang was whipped She was injured and couldn't have children from now on. As a result, she just got a new wife yesterday and she got pregnant the next day. If you say this, it will be a family scandal, and you may be silenced by the Xu family! He is just a doctor who makes a little money, but he is not greedy for other people's secrets.

This big family didn't have much clean land, so the doctor left with emotion.

But not all doctors are smart, and there are also some who are not so smart. When they tell it, the Xu family is angry.

This kind of scandal will no longer be able to hold its head high in the county once word spreads about it. Two consecutive blows made Mr. Xu, who had always been healthy, fall ill on the spot.

Mrs. Xu also hated her. She didn't expect that Feng Ziyan's reputation as a talented woman would lead to such a miserable life, so she began to tease her.

Feng Ziyan was miserable. Mrs. Xu was quite kind to her before, but her face suddenly changed after she got married. Feng Ziyan didn't know much about men and women, so the Xu family didn't tell her about her pregnancy. She didn't know it yet, but Xu Ziyang just felt that his mother always said bad things about his daughter-in-law, and her daughter-in-law would either cry or make trouble, which was annoying him to death.

Little did the Xu family's master and his wife know that Feng Ziyan and Xu Ziyang had been contented before they got married. The child in their belly was indeed the flesh and blood of the Xu family, and was Xu Ziyang's only bloodline in this life.

Anyway, the family didn't have a good look towards Feng Ziyan.

Feng Ziyan was miserable and kept complaining that her parents had cheated her all her life.

...

Fang Shujing was going out to study, so Liu Yechen prepared a book box, checked the pen, ink, paper and inkstone several times, as well as several sets of clothes. I also prepared some incense sticks and sachets that I made myself, saying they have a refreshing effect.

Fang Shujing was reluctant: "Why don't you come with me."

"I have something to do at home." Fang Shujing left, and Liu Yechen still had to honor the Fang family's parents.

The New Year will be coming soon and he has only been out for three months. Liu Yechen clearly knows that, but every time he takes a breath, he still feels as if his heart has been scratched with a knife.

Xu Quan also had red eyes.

Mrs. Fang, Father Fang, brother, sister-in-law and Tiantian all came to see him off.

Fang Shujing asked Fang to explain the matter of deer head hunting. Fang said, "Don't worry if you have me at home, I will take good care of your wife."

Fang Shujing nodded. Looking back, Liu Yechen hugged the family's puppy, Huang. Huang seemed to be infected by this emotion and barked twice.

Fang Shujing turned around and left. He couldn't stay here for too long, otherwise he might really not be able to leave.

The carriage was arranged in advance.

After getting in the car, the car drove all the way towards the academy.

When Fang Shujing walked far away, until the shadow was no longer visible, Liu Yechen dared to shed tears.

Mrs. Fang saw the hand touching Liu Yechen and said, "Good boy, don't worry if Jing'er leaves, your mother is here!"

Liu Yechen leaned into Mrs. Fang's arms, and then Fang Shujing left, Why was his heart so empty?

Fang Shujing didn't arrive at Shanlin Academy until the afternoon. The place was really unique. The academy was built halfway up the mountain and was very grand. The two stone lions at the door looked beautiful.

Although Fang Shujing was reincarnated as a human being, this was the first time he came to study in the academy.

Fang Shujing knocked on the door of the academy, and a boy opened it. Seeing that Fang Shujing was very polite, he said, "Master, who are you looking for?"

Fang Shujing quickly handed over the greeting card.

The child took one look, and then said: "Wait a moment." Then he went to find the master inside.

After a while the door opened.

Fang Shujing hasn't come yet, but several letters of recommendation have been sent to him, all recommending Fang Shujing to enroll here. One of them is the county magistrate!

The person who opened the door was a young student who looked honest and honest. He said, "So you are Fang Shujing. Come here quickly." As he walked, he said, "My name is Song Shu. I am in charge of the students here. If you enroll later, call me Song."

"That 's it, Senior Brother."

Most of the students enrolled here are children from rich and powerful families. Teaching Shu Xiu here for one year costs thirty taels of silver. Although their academy is built halfway up the mountain, the entire mountain is theirs and they have no shortage of land. It is much more comfortable in the academy than in a private school. You can live in an eight-person bunkhouse, or you can live in a one-person single room with a courtyard, which is ten times more expensive. Women and brothers are not allowed in the academy to read with them. But you can go out for one day of family leave every month.

A single room with a courtyard costs ten taels of silver per year, but a room with eight people only costs one tael per year.

On weekdays, pen and ink need to be bought in the study room in the academy. If poor scholars can help the academy with cleaning and other tasks, monthly money will be distributed!

Although Fang Shujing now had money in his pocket, when he was sorting out the bookcase in the car, he discovered that there was an extra one hundred taels of cash in the bookcase. Liu Yechen is really a daughter-in-law, I am afraid that he will not have enough money and I don't know when to put it in.

He now had a thousand taels, but he chose the eight-person room without hesitation.

After paying the repair fee, one year's accommodation and clothing for the four seasons and other miscellaneous expenses are provided. A total of thirty-three taels of silver were spent on the call. There are still 967 taels left for safekeeping!

Fang Shujing went to the eight-bed room. Although they slept on the same bunk bed, the room was very large and had a row of cabinets.

Fang Shujing paid money and received a key, which allowed him to open a set of cabinets while studying here. This cabinet can store some personal items. Fang Shujing brought two jars of wine and rock tea, as well as some clothes.

There is also an empty altar. The spiritual spring water on his body is rationed. If you get some spiritual spring water and save it for a month, you can condense it into small spiritual spring pills!

Fang Shujing put some books on the table, laid out the bedding and went to find Senior Brother Song. Senior Brother Song looked at Fang Shujing with a hesitant expression and blinked with envy: "Junior Brother Fang, you are In Class A. "

Shanlin Academy is divided into four classes: A, B, C and D. Among them, Class B are the top students, and those in Class C are generally those who have obtained the honor of being a child student but have a weak foundation. Class Ding was sent by those wealthy businessmen and started teaching from the Thousand-Character Classic.

Senior Brother Song is from Class B. They have several exams every year and only one can pass out of Class B. The difficulty is no less than the carp leaping over the dragon's gate!

Class A is very powerful. The person who teaches here is a Jinshi. Even the mountain leader occasionally organizes Class A people to have a drinking party, which is more elegant and elegant.

If Class B is all top-notch, then Class A is already on the list, and they will be directly disciples of the Shanzhang sect. When you enter the officialdom, you are a person with a sect and a backing. There is no need to even build official connections. Class A, the most coveted class in Shanlin Academy, suddenly came by air!

Most of the students in Class A are scholars, but the only child student who is a well-known prodigy is the mountain chief. He is afraid of "hurting Zhongyong" and stops him from taking the exam. This leaves the only child student in Class A. Why does Fang Shujing Can go to class A.

Chapter 43 Suffering

Fang Shujing didn't know that Class A had a special status in everyone's hearts, so he packed up his things and went in to study.

There are more than 20 people in Class A, the oldest is in his thirties, and the youngest is only eight or nine years old.

He came late and sat in the back.

The gentleman who gave the lecture was named Wen. He was not tall and slightly fat. He smiled and looked like he had a good temper. It is said that he was also a Jinshi, and he served as an official for a few years and finally returned after being unable to adapt to the officialdom.

In fact, Class A teaches the same thing as other classes, which is the traditional Four Books and Five Classics. But because the teachers who teach are different, their understanding of these books is also different.

Fang Shujing understood what he didn't understand before after a brief explanation. He listened and took notes. Wait until one class is over. The teacher left, and the rest of the students gathered together in twos and threes to discuss the class.

No one around Fang Shujing paid any attention to him, treating him as nothing.

There was no enthusiasm for the new classmates at all. After a brief chat, everyone went out to eat.

Fang Shujing was the only one left.

Fang Shujing was a little surprised by the extreme rejection. Fortunately, he was here at his age. He was relatively indifferent to many things. He came to Shanlin Academy to study. It would be good if he could make friends. It didn't matter if he couldn't make friends. .

His expression remained unchanged, he put his notes on the table, tidied them up, and went out to eat casually.

After Fang Shujing went out, he asked about the child sweeping the floor here, and then he knew the location of the dining room.

You have to pay for a taxi to the dining room, the soup is free, and the steamed buns cost three pennies and six, but the food is much more expensive. One meat dish, one vegetable dish and steamed buns cost 20 cash, while two meat dishes and one vegetable dish cost 40 cash.

Fang Shujing was not too hungry yet, so he ate the steamed buns paid for with a penny and sat on the edge with a free spoon of soup.

Then he saw Senior Brother Song and asked, "Junior Brother Fang, how are you?" He was a very enthusiastic person. He was the one who received Fang Shujing in the morning. Now that he was alone, he even brought his own rice bowl to eat with him. . Most likely they also knew that he was being ostracized. I thought Fang Shujing would be aggrieved and angry, but Fang Shujing said calmly: "It's okay." Senior Brother Song whispered: "Students in Class A are more arrogant, don't take it too seriously." Fang Shujing said in a low voice

:

Net hummed.

Later, Senior Brother Song saw that he was eating so plainly and said, "We only have two meals a day in the library, and the next meal will be late at night. You won't be full with just this. It would be very valuable if you don't come to eat before dinner time." The prices of hot pot dishes and small stove dishes are different.

Fang Shujing felt a little emotional. No wonder everyone said that studying is expensive. After entering Shanlin Academy, everything costs money. It is said that the wealthy scholars who live in separate courtyards have to spend money to buy firewood. In one year, it is estimated that it will cost hundreds of taels to go from repairing to a single-room courtyard, to eating, drinking, and writing.

Fang Shujing said: "Not too hungry yet." He was not that keen on eating. In the past, he mainly liked cooking for his wife and didn't eat much himself.

Senior Brother Song asked, "What do Class A learn?" He was not very talented, so he was lucky enough to stay in Class B. He was very curious about what Class A studied.

Fang Shujing said: "It's also the Four Books and Five Classics." In the imperial examinations, most of the questions were asked on this subject, which not only required memorization, but also comprehensive understanding. In the end, it can be used casually, which proves that the book has been thoroughly understood.

Senior Brother Song said "Oh" twice and Shu Jing became more and more curious. He said before that a student was parachuted into Class A, and suddenly Shanlin Academy was in a state of excitement. There are still related households in a place like Class A.

He thought he was a person from a very prominent family, but he didn't know that Fang Shujing lived in a room with eight people. He didn't even bring a bookboy or entourage with him, and he only ate the cheapest food when he came to the dining room, which made him confused.

Fang Shujing chatted with Senior Brother Song, and Senior Brother Song told him everything he knew, and soon let Fang Shujing know the names and temperaments of various gentlemen in the academy.

Those in Class A looked on with a bit of disdain.

In the past, there were people who got carried away after being promoted from Class B. As a result, they had to be sent back to the original class if they failed the exam. This is the rule of the mountain leader!

It doesn't matter if he can come in, he must be able to stay for a long time.

After Fang Shujing finished eating, he washed the plate and put it there. Back to Class A. Someone has already started writing questions there. There was no teacher to give the questions, they all asked each other by themselves, and the atmosphere of learning was very strong. Fang Shujing also took out his notes from the previous class to read them to deepen his memory.

After a while, Mr. Luo entered the room. This gentleman is knowledgeable but arrogant. When he was young, he was also a well-known talent. He wants to scold all injustices in the world, so he is not favored by officials. If a person like him becomes an official, will he not be scolded every day? As a result, he was defeated in the Spring Festival. At that time, many people said that officials had secretly tampered with it. Otherwise, he would have been among the top three based on his articles back then!

Mr. Luo quit taking the exam in anger and came here to become a teacher.

He was the junior brother of the county magistrate. Fang Shujing thought that it was right for him to come back. Otherwise, if he entered the officialdom with such a temperament, his life would be in danger. It would be better to be an idle cloud and wild crane, teaching and drinking.

Mr. Luo saw Fang Shujing and said, "Here we are."

Fang Shujing said, "Hello, Mr. Luo."

The other students in Class A looked at each other. This new student is so proud that even Mr. Luo was jealous when he saw him. Say hello proactively.

All kinds of thoughts and conspiracy theories came to mind. Everyone in Class A is a talented person, and they are most proud of their talents. Regardless of their status, they are really good at academics!

Mr. Luo said: "Today we have a class exam." As soon as he finished speaking, before the others could say anything, everyone shouted with joy and almost overturned the roof of the house. I was holding back my energy and wanted to give Fang Shujing, the airborne transfer student, some color, but I didn't expect that what I was thinking about would come to me. There really is an exam.

Mr. Luo glanced at everyone. They all came from a young age. He clearly understood their little thoughts of holding back evil, and said: "The exam question is about how to govern the county."

The students in Class A smiled on the spot. There was a stiff look on his face, this question was not the usual type at all.

In the past, I would pick out a classic sentence from the Four Books and Five Classics. Let everyone expand based on different ideas.

It's especially easy to compete when writing about the same subject.

Mr. Luo said: "You all have solid basic skills. Those things were no longer difficult for you in the past. Passing the imperial examination is not the key. After passing the exam, you will become an official in the future. How can you integrate the things in the textbooks into life and teach them to the common people?" Bringing blessings, this is the purpose of Shanlin Academy's training for you."

Now that the old emperor is older, the prince is ambitious. The two disaster relief and bridge construction he presided over show that the prince is a man of action.

The old emperor's body may not be able to withstand the spring weather, and even if the article is beautiful, it is just a matter of penmanship. They must now focus on some pragmatic articles, maybe they can stand out among the many candidates.

This question was not created by Mr. Luo himself, but by Shan Chang. If you are not prepared to test everyone's level.

But there was a twist. Fang Shujing came in as a new class member, just in time.

Seeing the sad faces of the students in Class A, I know how difficult this is.

They spend their days studying knowledge, writing poems, and writing some articles criticizing current events. They have never gone to the fields to observe what the county is like. Such a topic has not been revealed before, and now they are suddenly asked to write, There is a feeling of building a castle in the air, and I don't know how to write!

Mr. Luo said: "The paper will be handed in in an hour and will be reviewed on the spot." As soon as he finished speaking, the students in Class A felt even more stressed.

One hour is simply not enough. They haven't chosen where to start yet. Besides, the county's development issues are huge and cover all aspects of life. It's simply impossible to start. It's too difficult.

Fang Shujing was stunned when he heard this question.

Shanlin Academy is indeed very impressive. No wonder so many students pass the exam every year. There are people in the court who can grasp the various wind directions far better than ordinary people.

Fang Shujing thought for a while and then began to write.

He has already written a few lines, but there are still many people in Class A who have not yet started writing.

There is also a nine-year-old child prodigy in their class. He is asked to recite poems and plan the future of a county, but he is still crushed by experience.

The nine-year-old prodigy was poking at the pen in confusion.

When Mr. Luo walked by, he deliberately avoided his eyes asking for help. He was somewhat bullying him by asking this question.

Mr. Luo went back and forth for inspections. Every time I see a student who has not yet started writing, I will tap my finger on his desk twice as a reminder.

The people here are all scholars, and there are two young students, but the test papers today are indeed the questions that were used in the Jinshi examination back then.

When the mountain leader came up with this set of questions, he thought it was too early, but when he saw the faces of these proud men in trouble, he felt that the mountain leader was still famous. Let them tighten the strings in advance. Otherwise, they can write a few poems and memorize some articles and then start to get carried away, which is not possible.

When a group of people were in trouble, Fang Shujing was extremely eye-catching. He was writing furiously without even a single pause.

Fang Shujing used to be a merchant, but later he went to the countryside. He planned and developed the county, focusing on agriculture and lightening taxes, and then stimulated consumption, and reinvested the money earned into market construction.

I couldn't stop writing one sentence after another.

I couldn't write on one piece of paper, so I finally added a little more on the second page before finally finishing it.

When Fang Shujing finished writing, he checked it several times. There were no banned words or mistakes, so he handed in the paper.

Several people had already submitted papers before him.

After reading tens of thousands of volumes, the other students in Class A have never managed a county, but they have read a lot of books, copied the gourd, and added a little of their own imagination to write a few paragraphs of quotations from classics. It can be regarded as a beautiful flower.

Mr. Luo likes articles like this the most, and he will definitely get high marks if he takes them.

These students knew Mr. Luo very well. Mr. Luo read it first and really liked articles like this.

These students are worthy of being in the key training class A, and they responded so quickly. Faced with a topic that I have never encountered before, it is great to come up with such a high-quality article within a limited time.

After the time is up, no matter how it is written, even if it is a blank paper, it must be taught first.

Mr. Luo was reviewing on the spot. Some people's writing was obviously off topic, and Mr. Luo couldn't stand it anymore. They dropped their rolls, but their eyes lit up when they saw Fang Shujing's writing.

He is also a scholar. He has read several more years than the students in Class A. He is still very keen when it comes to good things.

The articles written by Fang Shujing are very informative and not vague at all. The articles are concise and the pages are clean. Both in the countryside and in the county, he proposed unique developments, and I even felt a little excited when I read it. After reading what he wrote and comparing it with what Mr. Luo thought was good before, it was no longer the same thing.

Mr. Luo immediately wrote the word "First Class" on Fang Shujing's paper.

After looking at him, and then looking at other people, they are all just words on paper. The selection was made on the spot: "For this exam, Fang Shujing will be the leader!"

With a snap, everyone looked over.

They brought over the article written by Fang Shujing and took a look.

We are all elites among scholars, so we can certainly see the weight of this article.

Everything he wrote can be taken out and used directly. It's very thoughtful and well-written. Although it doesn't quote scriptures, it is very accurate and simple and straightforward for everyone to understand. They may even think that if they concentrated their wealth to do big things like what he wrote in his article, the lives of ordinary people would be better.

"That's awesome." Although the students in Class A are arrogant, they are also the most reasonable. Once they find out that the other person is really good, they will be convinced.

Mr. Luo quickly put away the papers and put away the articles. He said: "Bring Fang Shujing's share."

Then they reluctantly took the things back.

Mr. Luo left with the article in his arms.

Fang Shujing, who had always been ignored, was suddenly surrounded and said, "Have you ever written a similar article before? It's really good."

"Let's discuss it. If we really do what you wrote in the article, , will people live and work in peace and contentment and live a better life like what you wrote in your article? "

"Where did you study before? Why didn't you go to college?"

Fang Shujing's article is very simple, but everything is in it. Hidden, these people in Class A are all people who can memorize the Four Books and Five Classics backwards and forwards. It can be seen at a glance that Fang Shujing reads no less books than them.

Fang Shujing said a few words.

On the contrary, these people became more enthusiastic. I have to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it.

There are no classes in the afternoon. Everyone can study in the room or go back to the dormitory.

Fang Shujing was surrounded and went back.

At the same time, Mr. Luo took all the papers this time to the mountain chief.

After reading them one by one, the mountain director also picked up Fang Shujing's article and said, "It's good. It's neither fast nor slow, and everything is stable. It's really very thoughtful."

Mr. Luo said, "Now the students in our library are getting better and better every generation."

Shan Chang stroked his beard and said with a smile on his lips. Class A performed very well this time. If we study for a while, we will definitely make some progress.

The person who recommended Shujing to go to Class A directly after coming to school here was not the county prince Fang Shujing thought. The mountain chief was a second-ranked Jinshi, and now he is still an official in the court. He is a fourth-rank official, and he is not a mere county prince. Impress him.

What really caught the attention of the mountain chief was the recommendation letter from Mr. Xiaohou. The young marquis is the son of a loyal and brave general. Now that the old prince is seriously ill, several princes are fighting fiercely. Which side General Zhongyong takes will affect the situation.

The person he recommended, Fang Shujing, naturally refused to be looked down upon. I want to try putting him in Class A first. If you really don't want to get a piece of material, just go back. Unexpectedly, this scholar who came on the first day brought him the biggest surprise.

The mountain chief was in a good mood.

Fang Shujing returned to the dormitory. This is a big shop. Counting him, there are only four people there, and it's not full yet.

The other three are also from Class A. The short one is named Chen Laoshi, the tall one is named Ning Huairen, and the other one is named Liu Lin. A few of them are from small families, and their lives are okay among the common people, but they have to pay close attention to their flowers here. So choose a multi-person room.

Chen said honestly: "Where is your home from?"

"Qingshui Village."

Ning Huairen opened his eyes wide: "Are you from the village?" It doesn't look like it. See his full-body magnificence now. I thought he was a young master from some family.

Liu Lin said: "Then why don't you take the exam for scholar?"

"You will take the exam next year." Fang Shujing said.

Liu Lin said: "That's a pity. We can't take the exam together."

Fang Shujing was slightly surprised: "You are all going to end up next year?"

"Yes." Except for Fang Shujing, at least they are all here. Stayed for three years. It's not like you are a scholar if you take the exam. You have to take the exam in the province. At that time, all the talented students from academies in the province will go there to participate. They only have a 10% chance of passing the exam. Even Mr. Luo said that the main thing is to let them go and experience it. So today the question types were suddenly changed and everyone was a little flustered.

"There won't be much time left then." Fang Shujing said.

Liu Lin said: "Hey, if you are not busy, tell me what the countryside is like. If such a question comes up again, you won't be blinded."

"Yes, yes, bring me one."

"Also. I can help you make food tomorrow."

Fang Shujing said, "No problem."

There is a big round table in the room where you can read or write and draw.

Fang Shujing began to write a letter.

I just have a little free time and I don't know what my little wife is doing? Fang Shujing put down his pen and started writing.

Originally, everyone was busy with their own affairs, but when they saw Fang Shujing working so hard, they couldn't help but become a little curious: "What are you doing?"

Fang Shujing said, "Write a letter home."

Liu Lin was in The man next to him smiled and said, "What kind of letter are you writing? I think you are writing a love letter."

Fang Shujing smiled and said, "That's right."

"Ah, I want to read it." Although those present were already admitted to the scholar examination, they all still They didn't get married, and their families wouldn't let them do it. They were afraid that getting married would delay their studies. Originally, everyone was the same, but Fang Shujing broke the balance when he came.

Fang Shujing said: "This letter can only be read by my wife." When he mentioned Liu Yechen, he couldn't help but smile.

"Are you married?" Fang Shujing is young, handsome and gentle. And I haven't taken the entrance examination yet. When I pass the examination in the future, what's the point of looking for a young lady from a wealthy family?

Fang Shujing said: "I'm afraid that he will be married off by someone else." His little daughter-in-law is very lovable.

Liu Lin, Chen Laoshi and Ning Huairen looked at Fang Shujing and their curiosity for knowledge once again lit up their eyes, and said, "How does it feel to get married?" As one of the three little chickens, Fang Shujing's status suddenly reversed and he became a housewife. Awesome person inside.

...

It was four days later when Liu Yechen received Fang Shujing's letter.

Xu Quan said: "Young madam, I have your letter." He just got it from the messenger, and he also gave him two cents for running errands.

Liu Yechen has not thought about food and tea these past few days, and has become a bit thinner than before the young master left. His chin has also become pointed. The food at home plummeted, and Liu Yechen neither ate nor wanted to do anything. Occasionally, Mr. Fang would bring some food and leave it for a day or two without anyone eating it, but it would eventually be eaten by him. This can't go on like this.

When Liu Yechen heard Fang Shujing's letter, he suddenly had a smile on his face: "Let me take a look."

Then he took the letter and turned around and entered the house.

He carefully opened Fang Shujing's letter, as cautiously as if he were opening some treasure.

It was quickly opened. Above the letter, Shujing told what the inside of the new academy was like. He watched with gusto. Although he has never been to a school in his life, his father-in-law went there, and he described it in detail in the letter as if he had also been there.

As he continued to read, Liu Yechen's cheeks turned a little red.

He blushed and his heart skipped a beat when he read the letter, which even said that he wanted to kiss him.

Liu Yechen's heart suddenly began to beat wildly. How could he say such inappropriate things in the letter.

Liu Yechen's ears also felt a little warm.

What if this letter is seen by someone else?

How shameful.

Liu Yechen picked up the pen and wanted to write him a reply. But he was still a little hesitant about what to write. The ink mark turned into a small black dot and fell on the paper.

My husband's words are still lingering in my mind.

In fact, he also wanted to be kissed.

I took out the letter and read it again. The emotion was so strong.

At this moment, Ah Huang screamed at the door.

Liu Yechen hid the letter under the bed. He brought the puppy over. In just a few days, the puppy has grown a lot. The newly weaned cub is also diligent in looking after the house, and he especially likes to hang out with Liu Yechen.

Only Liu Yechen could hold it if nothing happened. The little one is happy just to be held.

Thanks to Fang Shujing, he gave him a puppy before he left, so he could talk to it when he had something on his mind. Although the little guy didn't understand it, his cute black eyes seemed to be healed when he looked at it.

Liu Yechen hugged him and whispered, "How about we write him a reply."

"Wow." Ah Huang agreed.

Liu Yechen has a shy personality and cannot express many words about love, but he can write them down when he puts his pen to paper. A letter is full of lingering and longing. At the end of the signature process, I was still childish and applied some ink on the dog's paw pads. Said that the whole family missed him.

But after he finished writing the letter, he was afraid it would affect his studies, so he didn't send it.

Liu Yechen found that life became difficult after getting married. In the past, it was okay for a person to live alone for so many years. Since getting married, she has become more pretentious, and Fang Shujing can't sleep every day.

Liu Yechen's letter was not sent, but a few days later, Fang Shujing's new letter came over again, complaining that Liu Yechen didn't write to him, missing him very much, and saying that he would deal with him after he returned!

Liu Yechen's cheeks turned redder and redder.

Chapter 44 Punishment

Liu Yechen's life was pretty good. Ever since he favored Aunt Wang's daughter last time, his reputation had spread far and wide.

Nowadays, many people come to see him for medical treatment every day. He only charged two cents for consultation each time. Since he didn't have all the medicine in stock, he asked them to go to the county to prescribe medicine every time.

Fang made steamed egg custard and brought it to Liu Yechen, and said, "I've steamed two bowls today, and I'll give you one bowl."

Liu Yechen said, "Mom, we have everything here, you don't need to bring it to me. Come here." His mother-in-law comes over every once in a while to deliver some delicious food, the only one in the whole village.

Fang said: "You should hurry up and eat fat, otherwise Jing'er will come back after a while and think you were wronged at home."

Liu Yechen blushed and took the egg custard.

Fang said: "Have Jing'er written back these days?"

"No." Liu Yechen felt a little nervous. In fact, he had written back, but the content he wrote was really embarrassing to others.

Fang said: "I don't know if he will adapt there." Fang Shujing is a humble person, so what if he is bullied?

Liu Yechen himself was worried about it, and comforted Fang by saying, "Don't worry, Mom, my husband will definitely be able to adapt."

He now receives a letter every few days, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Liu Yechen had been looking forward to hearing that he would come back when he took a bath.

My sister-in-law, Li Xiuer, is already pregnant. Now I have good food and clothing every day, and even my neighbors say that I feel like a different person. Her mother-in-law tried her best to cook delicious food for her.

Liu Yechen also wants a child.

But we have to wait until Fang Shujing comes back.

Fang said: "Liu'er, what's wrong?" She called him several times just now. He didn't know what he was thinking and his face turned red. Could it be that he had caught a cold due to the lower temperature in the past few days.

Liu Yechen hurriedly came to his senses, his cheeks heated up and he said, "Mom, I'm fine." His heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest.

Fang looked at him suspiciously, always feeling something was strange, but couldn't pinpoint the details. Said: "It's okay. By the way, what are you doing raising so many fish in a few days?"

Liu Yechen paid people in the village to catch fish, and kept the fish in a water tank.

All the money Liu Yechen earned from treating patients was spent here.

Liu Yechen said: "He likes to eat."

Fang suddenly understood and then pursed his lips in joy, Liu Yechen was embarrassed.

While Mrs. Fang was talking to Liu Yechen, she saw Mrs. Liu from the village and said, "Doctor Xiao Liu is so awesome. I saw the aunt from another village's cough a few days ago, and now she is cured. She has been suffering from this disease for many years." , I also spent a lot of money to see him, but he just drank a few pills and got better. Now I tell everyone about your medical skills. "

Xiao Liu is very good to Liu Yechen, just go to the mountain to pick it up. " I will definitely bring him a portion of wild vegetables.

Liu Yechen was his benefactor. If it weren't for Liu Yechen's excellent medical skills, his man would still be paralyzed in bed.

Life is going great now.

Orion Liu teamed up with several Orion hunters to transport things. They were tall and powerful, so they went over to rob them. Now they also made a little money. It was all because of him that Liu Yechen was embarrassed by the praise and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously!" After chatting with them for a few words, they left.

Liu Yechen saw that the day for her husband to return home was getting closer, and now he was walking around Xu Quan.

Xu Quan thought about it carefully and said, "Young madam, I have told you all the young master's preferences." Besides, the madam has prepared enough. There was a big bowl of eggs at home, a tank of fish, and some snacks. I had fried the things that needed oil in advance and waited for him to share them with his classmates and friends when he left!

I bought so much varnish and noodles that their puppy, Ah Huang, no longer looked after the house. He was jumping around Liu Yechen all day long.

The news of the young master's return made the young madam extremely happy. Seeing that he had regained his vitality, Xu Quan, the current man, was also happy.

Liu Yechen said: "Is it true? Think about what he likes to eat." His eyes were full of curiosity.

Xu Quan coughed dryly. His young lady knew more than him. He said: "Young master likes you the most. I am happy to see you even if you don't eat."

Liu Yechen's cheeks heated up after hearing this, and he said: "You are a talker." Then he went into the house embarrassedly.

Ah Huang followed with short legs, but Liu Yechen closed the door and locked Ah Huang out. The puppy barked.

Liu Yechen opened the door a small crack inside, and Ah Huang immediately got in.

Picking up his trousers and asking for something to eat.

Liu Yechen said: "You've already eaten it today." Each of the fried seeds was crispy, and it was already very fragrant without the sugar.

When frying, there would always be dregs that fell off, so I fed them all with Ah Huang.

Ah Huang loves to eat, which is perfect for grinding his newly grown baby teeth.

After finishing eating, he licked his mouth and still hadn't eaten enough, so he came to Liu Yechen again to ask for food.

Liu Yechen said: "You are too fat, you can't eat." When Fang Shujing left, it was still very handsome, but now it looks like a small meat ball, and the flesh all over his body trembles when he leaves.

Ah Huang was very good at observing people's words and knew that Liu Yechen's soft heart was right next to him.

Liu Yechen looked at him, but he couldn't help it, so he had no choice but to break off a piece from the tray on the table and said, "This is the last time."

Ah Huang's tail immediately started wagging crazily, He jumped up and down, grabbed the food in his mouth and started eating on the ground.

Liu Yechen read over and over several letters sent back by Fang Shujing.

Counting the days, he will be back.

Liu Yechen opened the cabinet at home and found some clothes. This was all done by Fang Shujing for him before they got married.

He took out the dusty jewelry box again. I picked a few items to wear on the day he comes back.

The days of hope passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Shujing had been studying in the academy for more than a month. Finally caught up with a family vacation, Liu Yechen got up early in the morning to pack things. The inside and outside of this house had been cleaned as early as yesterday. She also put on a light red dress and some jewelry on her hair. Liu Yechen was already very beautiful, so she dressed it up carefully. It looks even more magnificent.

Stand in the yard and wait for him.

Xu Quan went to the entrance of the village.

After a while, I heard Ah Huang running a few steps and shouting happily. Liu Yechen stretched his neck to look. Sure enough, there was the sound of a carriage. He couldn't restrain the joy in his heart and hurriedly greeted him. He saw the carriage parked steadily at the door of his house. Xu Quan was also coming back with him. Liu Yechen was almost looking forward to becoming a husband, and finally saw Fang Shu. Jing got off the carriage.

Liu Yechen was very happy and went up to him directly: "How are you, Mr. Master?" He hadn't seen him for more than a month and looked him up and down.

Fang Shujing didn't change much. He smiled and said, "Daughter-in-law."

This sentence made Liu Yechen cry. It was a happy day for him to come back today, so he didn't dare to cry.

Fang Shujing looked at him and said, "I've lost weight. I heard from Xu Quan that you don't eat well at home?"

When Liu Yechen heard this, he quickly denied: "No."

Fang Shujing looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile. Looking at him.

Liu Yechen's shoulders shrank. The two of them had just taken a few steps when they felt something moving around their feet.

Looking down, I couldn't help but feel happy. Ah Huang was very fat at home. The puppy still remembered that Fang Shujing brought it back. Fang Shujing looked at his tail wagging happily.

Fang Shujing said: "You, you are so good at spoiling it." If they have children in the future, Liu Yechen will definitely spoil her badly. Fang Shujing felt a little hot in his heart when he thought about it.

Xu Quan also got married to Fang Shujing. After all, they hadn't seen each other for more than a month, and they chattered about the changes in the village. The Fang family took on some apprentices, and paid them no wages for the first three years. They gave them a little pocket money every year in the following years. All the money they earned in the first year of apprenticeship went to the master. I found three children as apprentices in the village and two from other villages. With the help of my apprentice, I can make cabinets at home faster.

Fang's side is busy cooking for the young apprentices and they don't always come.

The family's business of selling milk cakes also stopped, and Xu Quan couldn't stay idle. Now that the fields have been harvested in the fall, there is not much work left. I simply raised twenty little roosters, and by the time of the Chinese New Year, a ten-pound chicken could be sold for a hundred cents. Just replace it with some buckwheat husks from the village and grab a handful of green leaves from the ground, which is enough for the little rooster to eat, and it doesn't take much effort.

Fang Shujing said: "Okay."

Xu Quan said: "Master, are you hungry? Do you want to serve some food?"

Fang Shujing said: "Don't worry about this, I still have something to say with him." Then he looked at the willow leaves. Chen glanced.

Liu Yechen trembled again beside him.

Xu Quan said: "Okay." His young lady is diligent and always puts the food in the pot. There are a few stir-fried dishes that haven't been cooked yet, so there's still time to stir-fry them when it's time to eat.

Fang Shujing and Liu Yechen went back to the house, and Ah Huang was locked out. Liu Yechen's heart was pounding. Fang Shujing seemed to be deliberately walking toward him step by step, and every step seemed to be stepping on the apex of his heart.

Soon the distance between the two was very close. You can feel the aggressive breath coming from you.

Fang Shujing hugged his slender waist and said, "Why don't you write me a reply." He wrote so many letters, this little heartless boy.

Just as Liu Yechen was about to speak, he was kissed by Fang Shujing. The letter said that he would look good to him when he came back. This was no joke. I had thought about the punishment long before I came back.

Liu Yechen has not been intimate with Fang Shujing for more than a month. Suddenly, his kiss stopped breathing. Moreover, Fang Shujing's kisses had a sense of punishment, not as gentle as usual at all, and Liu Yechen's tears rolled down. Little did they know that a little beauty was bullied to tears, which really made people's blood boil, especially for a man like Fang Shujing who had been fasting for more than a month.

...

Mrs. Fang from outside heard that her son was coming home and rushed over. Fang Shujing only stayed at home for two days this time. She was thinking: "Where is Jing'er?"

Xu Quan said: "I am talking to the young lady in the room."

When Fang heard this, she smiled: "I want to give the young couple some time."

Xu Quan wondered why the lady listened After hearing this, he left happily. He didn't understand

Chapter 45 Home

By the time it was time to eat, it was already evening, and Fang Shujing finally made it and took it to the house to eat.

It wasn't until the next day that Liu Yechen came out of the room. After Fang Shujing came back, he was radiant.

Fang Shujing "tortured" the letters written by his young wife to him in the room. He was reading them one by one. Every word was full of longing, and his heart felt soft after reading it.

After watching, Fang Shujing went out and saw his wife in the kitchen. Knowing that he liked fish, he raised a tank of fish.

He smelled fried fish as soon as he came out.

Xu Quan was cleaning the chicken coop, and no one noticed him. He went to the kitchen, hugged Liu Yechen from behind, and said, "I've seen it all."

Liu Yechen's cheeks felt hot, and he said uncomfortably: "Get out quickly, there's a lot of smoke here." In fact, he was just embarrassed.

In the letter, Liu Yechen expressed how much he missed him, but Fang Shujing didn't miss him at all.

He hugged his wife's waist and refused to let go.

Liu Yechen can do everything without Fang Shujing. But she seemed to become very weak in front of him. He was leaving tomorrow. It's the Chinese New Year when I come back, so feel free to hug me if you want. But he whispered: "Can you let me finish the fish?"

"Yes." Fang Shujing let go of his hand and kept looking at Liu Yechen. Liu Yechen's movements were very stiff until he was already on the same hand and feet. .

Finally, the fragrance in the air slowly overflowed.

Liu Yechen added a ladle of water to stew all the water.

Looking back, I saw Fang Shujing's smiling eyes, and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, I heard that you

are a famous doctor now!" Liu Yechen said: "The villagers are cheering for me."

"That can cure my lovesickness. "Huh?" Fang Shujing said beside him.

Liu Yechen's heartbeat skipped a beat, and he gave Fang Shujing an angry look. He didn't understand why such a gentle and gentle husband spoke so loudly and uncontrollably.

Liu Yechen walked to Fang Shujing, leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek: "Is it cured?"

Fang Shujing's voice became a little deeper, and he tried hard to kiss this little bad guy. The guy pulled her into his arms and said, "Treating the symptoms, not the root cause."

His wife was his obsession, and he wished he could put her in his pocket and take her away with her. After getting married, he has indeed become more stable, but he also has more worries in his heart.

Liu Yechen said: "Let's go to the old house." He has only been back for two days and the two of them didn't care to be together yesterday. They have to go back today.

Fang Shujing said: "Okay." Then he took Liu Yechen's hand to go out and told Xu Quan to look at the fish in the pot and don't let it dry out.

Liu Yechen pulled back. He was now a stable Dr. Liu. If people saw him being so clingy, it would affect his image.

Liu Yechen wouldn't let him hold hands. Fang Shujing looked at him with hurt eyes.

Liu Yechen's heart was soft. He felt guilty when he saw his husband say this. He only felt that his actions had hurt his heart, so he took the initiative to pull him back. Fang Shujing's palm was very hot, and the heat seemed to penetrate through his palm. It seemed to reach straight into his heart.

The two of them walked hand in hand to the old house. There were many women on the road. Looking at Fang Shujing and Liu Yechen, they couldn't help but said happily: "Doctor Xiao Liu, are you going back to your mother-in-law?"

"Look at how nice they are, and they are holding hands. Oops..." They all looked embarrassed.

"How many days can Shusheng Fang come back this time?"

"I'll leave tomorrow." Fang Shujing said.

These women were a little surprised: "Don't you want to stay for a few more days? If you leave, Dr. Xiaoliu will cry." Then another burst of good-natured laughter broke out from the crowd.

Liu Yechen's ears felt hot, and Fang Shujing whispered: "Don't listen to their nonsense, I won't do it."

Fang Shujing didn't criticize him, and his daughter-in-law cried so cutely, whether in bed or in bed Under the bed. How could he, the instigator, not know this?

The two returned to the Fang family's old house. The originally spacious courtyard was now full of sawdust flying around, with various boards scattered everywhere, and several children around ten years old!

You need to be strong enough to learn carpentry, and you can't do it if you're too young!

Brother Fang saw them and said, "When did you come? Come in quickly."

When Father Fang saw Fang Shujing, he could only smile honestly.

Fang Shujing said hello. These five young apprentices had long heard that Carpenter Fang had a scholar son in his family. When they saw Fang Shujing for the first time, they felt that there was something indescribable about Fang Shujing's handsomeness. They thought about it in the storybook. This is probably what the gods mentioned are like.

They were talking outside. Mrs. Fang walked out of the house and saw Fang Shujing and said, "I'm back now. Mom will prepare delicious food for you."

Fang Shujing said, "Don't bother, Liu'er has made it. " We just came here to take a look."

When Fang saw her son, she couldn't hide the smile on her face and said, "Okay, it's very dusty outside, let's go inside and talk." After that, she welcomed him into the house. inside.

As soon as I entered, I saw my sister-in-law Li Xiuer making clothes for her unborn child. Seeing Fang Shujing, he said, "Your brother was talking about you a few days ago."

"Well, I'll have a drink with him tonight."

Li Xiuer agreed with a smile.

Tiantian timidly called out: "Uncle." Ever since the little girl cut off contact with her father's relatives, the little girl has been very timid.

Liu Yechen greeted her, and the little girl was stunned for a moment and then ran over. Liu Yechen brought some kitchen candies with him. If you meet children in the village, give some away. Liu Yechen liked Tiantian very much and gave her a piece.

The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw Tang, but she still looked back at her mother.

Li Xiuer said: "Take it, thank you, uncle."

The little girl suddenly laughed and said: "Thank you, uncle." Her voice was sweet and waxy, and even Fang Shujing wanted to pinch her chubby little face. But he still restrained himself.

Mrs. Fang said from the side: "These days since you left, Xiao Liu'er has been thinking a lot. He didn't eat well in the past few days and has lost a lot of weight."

Fang Shujing glanced at his wife from the side. Now two people have complained about him not eating properly.

Liu Yechen lowered his head, Tiantian also liked Uncle Liu, as if she was comforting him.

Liu Yechen was holding the little girl's hand beside him. Liu Yechen was fond of children, and all the children in the village liked to play with him.

Fang said: "You really picked up the village chief's land when you bought it. The harvest of the village chief's land this autumn will be great. Anyone who didn't buy it before regretted it." Fields are the lifeblood of country people, and they should not be used until absolutely necessary. It won't be sold when . The village chief and his wife are both hard-working people, and the land is in their hands very well.

A piece of land can be passed down to several generations. With these five acres of land, generations of ancestors will not be hungry. Fang Shujing's fields are larger than those of the Fang family, and Fang Shujing does not have to pay taxes once he is admitted as a scholar. The harvest can all fall into your own hands.

Fang Shujing said: "That's pretty good."

When Mrs. Fang mentioned this, she was happy: "My son has a good life." Otherwise, how could everything go as planned? Marry the person you like and live a prosperous life. got up.

The two talked here for a while and then left. Fang's side was still burning a pot. Although the apprentices worked for the master for free in the first three years, these boys also had room and board here, which was when half-grown boys could eat. Three large drawers of steamed cereal woofou can be prepared at home. I can't eat for a whole day, but I still have to cook some stir-fries, and I can barely swing a spatula.

Li Xiuer also helped with the cooking. Three meals a day alone was enough to make her tired.

Fang Shujing said: "Come to my place to eat tonight." There is everything in his small kitchen. It is also clean and the whole family can drink some wine.

Fang said, "

Okay, I'll go to your place for dinner that night."

Fang Shujing and the others were stunned for a while before going back.

The time is just right. When I go back, I stew a fish for a long time, and the fish meat is completely delicious. Take a bite of the fresh, sweet and rich flavor, just in time for a meal.

Liu Yechen refused to eat and picked fish bones for Fang Shujing nearby.

Fang Shujing said, "Why don't you eat?"

"I like to see you eat." He doesn't always come back, and Liu Yechen wants to do something for him. Seeing him eating happily makes me feel happy.

Fang Shujing said: "You will spoil me bad." When he was a young master in a wealthy businessman, he had never been so grand.

Liu Yechen said: "It's okay."

In a short while, the fish bones on the snow-white fish meat were picked clean.

Fang Shujing mixed it and ate some rice. After cleaning up, he said: "Daughter-in-law, stir-fry the pickles we made. I'll take a jar with me when I leave." After finishing the food at home, I couldn't eat it in the academy. It was so bland and tasteless.

"Okay." After the meal, Liu Yechen started to get busy. In addition to frying pickles for Fang Shujing, he also had to make a table of dishes. His parents-in-law and eldest brother were going to come over for dinner in the evening.

Fang Shujing also helped him.

There were two of them in the small kitchen, so it wasn't boring at all.

Ah Huang was wandering back and forth at their feet, and he would get a piece of food from time to time, and his little tail was wagging very hard.

The two of them cooked eight dishes that night, and when cooking fish, they cooked two more dishes. It's just right for the disciples to take. The fish meat is white and delicious, and the fish head soup is extremely delicious. It's delicious even if soaked in the steamed buns for lunch.

The five young disciples of the Fang family ate without raising their heads or opening their eyes. This was the best meal they had ever had here. The people in the village were right. Fang Shujing's return would be like celebrating the New Year!

In the evening, the family came and ate for two hours, drinking two jars of wine alone. Although Father Fang and Brother Fang are not good at words, Fang Shujing was very happy to come back and sang songs when he left at night.

Fang Shujing cleaned up and said to his wife, "Go back early and have a rest." Although his breath smelled of alcohol, he didn't drink too much. He was about to leave and wanted to spend more time with his wife.

I don't know if it's because my wife also drank wine, but she was surprisingly enthusiastic. As soon as they returned to the house, Liu Yechen blocked Fang Shujing at the door and kissed him passionately!

How could Fang Shujing miss such a beautiful thing? He turned over and hugged his wife on the bed...

Chapter 46 Pickles

When Fang Shujing was about to leave, Liu Yechen's eyes were red from crying.

However, he made an agreement with his wife to send the letter, and repeatedly stated that he would not let others read it. He reluctantly agreed.

He came back empty-handed. When he was leaving, the things his daughter-in-law brought for him made him want to fill the entire carriage. There are four jars of pickles alone, two jars are fried with meat, and two jars are soaked in red oil. They can be eaten as soon as they are opened. As long as they are stored well, they will not go bad even if they are eaten for a month or two. , I also made canned salted fish for him. I don't know where he bought the jar. It can be stored forever by closing the lid. There were four braised fish in it. Seeing that it was getting cold, I took two quilts.

Before leaving, the young daughter-in-law walked a long way with the carriage, and finally waved her hand reluctantly.

Fang Shujing arrived at the academy in the evening after traveling all day.

The time for bathing in the academy was not long. Most of the scholars drank in nearby towns, or when they were bathing, they spread out a mat and sat on it with three or five friends reciting a poem in the autumn light. It was indescribably elegant.

Only Fang Shujing went home. The horse-drawn carriage ride on the mountainous road was very difficult and bumpy. Ning Huairen, Liu Lin and Chen Laoshi, who lived in the same dormitory, lamented that people who got married were different.

They were also all very curious. On weekdays, Fang Shujing was either reading or writing letters home on the table in his dormitory. Who could make him obsessed with him?

When Fang Shujing came back, they were all shocked: "Did you move your home back?"

"My wife prepared it."

Liu Lin led a few people and hurried over to move things.

When I looked at the things, there were pickles prepared for him to eat out of fear, and quilts prepared for fear that he would be cold, and the quilts were all thick cotton quilts, very soft to the touch and looked like they were newly made!

It seems that the little daughter-in-law of Fang Shujing's family is very virtuous.

When Fang Shujing came back, although he was dusty, he was in high spirits.

Liu Lin discussed with him: "Can you share some pickles with me later? The food cooked in the dining room has become more and more unpalatable recently." In the past, there were some broken egg drops in the free soup, but now there are only wild vegetable leaves left. I didn't even put much salt in it, it tasted like shabu-shabu water.

What's more, the price of vegetables and meat increases in autumn, and the prices of large pot dishes also increase a lot. The money brought by these scholars and students who live in dormitories this year is not enough. Although there are some cleaning and sorting positions here to make a little money, they will take the exam next year and dare not put their own money into it. The time is wasted elsewhere.

Zhengfang Shujing brought back a lot of pickles, which immediately made his eyes light up. The steamed buns in the dining room are not expensive, costing a penny. If you can eat some pickles, it will be better than choking on the steamed buns.

But I'm sorry, after all, I brought it back all the way.

After saying that, he added: "How about I go to the market in town to buy some for you next time I take a bath?"

Fang Shujing said: "That's not necessary, I can't finish so much, except for the salty Canned fish, you can take care of the rest! "The fish was specially made for him by his wife, and he wants to keep it to himself, and no one will share it with him.

When Chen Laoshi and Ning Huairen heard this, they quickly came over and said, "How about the three of us pool our money to make one meat and one vegetarian. If you bring out the pickles, we can mix them in and eat them all."

In this way, everyone can enjoy it. Save money, and now that the year is over, you have to spend it wisely. You still have to spend a lot of money during the exam, but now you can save it.

Fang Shujing thought this was good, so he agreed.

After a while, I heard Senior Brother Song ringing the bell and dinner was ready.

Liu Lin has a lot of friends. Said: "Is it possible that Senior Brother Song will stay in the academy?"

Fang Shujing was a little surprised: "He will not take the entrance examination."

Liu Lin said: "He is not that material." He had also debated articles before. Senior Brother Song is obsessed with reading. As long as the topic changes slightly, he will stop reading immediately. It was considered diligent for him to pass the Tongsheng examination, but it was more difficult for him to be a scholar.

He also took the exam once, but when the results were released, there was no name at all.

But he was a careful and enthusiastic person, and everyone in the academy liked him, so the principal simply kept him here. It is said that he made a lot of money every month. Although he was not a scholar, he liked the learning atmosphere of the academy very much, so he readily agreed. Now you can ask him about all the big and small things in the academy, and he has become half the person in charge.

"Let's go out to eat."

There are more than 200 people in Shanlin Academy. If you go early, you can get all kinds of food, but if you go late, you can only eat whatever is left.

Fang Shujing used clean and water-free chopsticks to open a can of fried pickles. They were all stir-fried with meat. There were a lot of diced meat inside, which had been stir-fried very dry. The meat was firm and they used them. The radish is dried and a lot of oil is added.

His little wife is really down to earth. In the village, we cut the pickles and eat them directly. How can we be so luxurious? They use meat and oil to accompany them, but they are very fragrant. When they opened the lid, Ning Huairen, Liu Lin, and Chen Laoshi all swallowed their saliva.

Fang Shujing took a bowl of Shangjian!

Liu Lin and the others looked at it and said, "Is there meat here?" Are pickles made so luxuriously now?

Ning Huairen and Chen Laoshi originally thought that the suggestion they made was good, but now they couldn't help but feel that they were taking advantage of Fang Shujing. When they went to pick up vegetables, they picked up an extra vegetarian dish, two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish.

I bought my own steamed buns for staple food, and the four of them sat together.

The dining hall of Shanlin Academy is usually very quiet. Although there is no explicit rule, everyone has formed a habit for a long time.

There were some exceptions today. Everyone started whispering to each other while eating.

"What does it smell like? It smells so good."

"What did you do today?"

"I'm starving to death."

Following the smell, everyone found something different on Fang Shujing's table. There was a bowl of oil on his table. The diced meat in Wang Wang's pickles is fried, and the smell makes you want to eat it.

Everyone poked their heads in the air frequently.

But the four people in their dormitory didn't care. Each of them bought four multi-grain steamed buns and started eating them. Put a piece of oily pickles on it and bite into it, it's delicious!

Although the steamed buns are made from whole grains, the texture is a bit dry when you eat them in large quantities, but the steamed buns are chewy. The more you chew, the flavor of the grain itself and a hint of light sweetness come out.

I don't know how much thought went into making the stir-fried pickles made by Fang Shujing's wife. The dried radish is not too salty and goes well with rice or steamed buns. It feels solid when you go down, neither soft nor hard, and feels very good when chewed. A lot of oil is put in it and put on the steamed buns. The oil soaks into the steamed buns a little, giving it a rich texture, which is better than the stir-fry in the restaurant. Eat.

They ate the pickles with big mouthfuls, and the students around them couldn't help but look at their satisfied expressions.

He watched as the top bowl of pickles was pinched with a few chopsticks to make a hole.

My friends in the dormitory all tacitly agreed not to eat the diced meat in it, just eat some dried radish and pickles.

But Liu Lin accidentally caught a small piece of diced meat with his chopsticks. The fried meat became less crispy due to the oil, but the meat was very firm: "It's delicious."

"I've never eaten so delicious in my life." Pickles."

Everyone was watching them. They didn't realize it and started praising him for how delicious the food was. Someone in the crowd swallowed hard.

Fang Shujing went home and had delicious food and drinks. He also did well with these pickles, but he didn't react as much as they did. They had been eating from the dining room for several years. I suddenly ate such a small pickle that can be eaten with rice, and I couldn't stop eating each one.

After a while, a greedy classmate who couldn't stand the boldness said, "Junior Brother Fang, can you give me a taste."

"Okay." Fang Shujing said.

The bold classmate had been looking at it for a long time. When Fang Shujing said this, he quickly took out a long radish stick from it. One stick caught up with two, and he immediately returned to his position, picked up his steamed bun, took a bite of pickles and then another steamed bun.

The reaction was even greater than that of Fang Shujing's classmate and friend, who ate a steamed bun with just this radish and pickle!

"It's so delicious." Then Fang Shujing said next to him: "Where did you buy this? Does he still sell it?" He knew that the pickles must be expensive because of the meat and oil, but he wanted to buy one and a half even if he was frugal. Come pound by pound.

I have lost my appetite in autumn recently, and eating this is more satisfying than eating meat.

"Not for sale. This is made by Junior Brother Fang's wife." Liu Lin was a little dissatisfied with him, and felt more and more that he came here to eat pickles because he didn't act out of kindness.

He ate no vegetables and only ate pickles, which made his mouth full of oil. It's really fragrant, but the steamed buns are a bit expensive. Four steamed buns are enough to eat on weekdays. The more I eat today, the hungrier I get. I don't know where I ate the three steamed buns just now. Anyway, my appetite was whetted by the oily fried pickles.

There are obviously fewer pickles, and the four of them don't have enough to eat. Another circle of people gathered outside, watching eagerly.

I wish I could cover it with my hands to prevent them from taking off their chopsticks.

After a while, I heard a scolding: "Why are you all gathered together? Get out of the way." When everyone heard this voice, they quickly dispersed. This was the stern face of the discipline in charge of Shanlin College. If he caught anyone, he would No matter how many people are in front of him, the two-foot-thick bamboo board will hit the palm of his hand. Even the proud son of Class A is no exception. Scholars who have been here for a long time feel scared just hearing his voice. But as soon as he stepped away, the scent of fried pickles that had been covered up just now suddenly spread out.

The mountain leader said: "What does it smell like?"

Everyone turned around and found that the mountain leader was also in the academy today. Mr. Wen, Mr. Luo, Yan Heilian, and nine other gentlemen came to the dining room casually.

Following the scent, they frequently looked over at Fang Shujing's table.

He said that students were not allowed to come over to watch, but they themselves came around.

Fang Shujing said: "Sir, these are the pickles I brought from home. Can I get some for you to try?"

The headmaster smoothed his beard and looked at the teachers. They all looked enigmatic. .

Not to mention the scholars can't stand eating the same food, they can't stand it either. At that time, I was embarrassed to say it due to my status and face, so I repeatedly hinted at the mountain chief.

The mountain chief just didn't say anything!

This made several gentlemen anxious and looked at the mountain chief frequently.

Finally, the mountain leader couldn't help but said: "That's troublesome, let's have a taste of your home."

Fang Shujing nodded and went down. "

After a while, two bowls of pickles came back from the dormitory. One handed them to the mountain leader's table.

The other handed them to the scholar's long table and said, "Everyone has a taste.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Fang. "

"It's really atmospheric. " "

"It smells delicious. "

A bowl of pickles looks like a lot. The mountain chief's side is okay, there are only a few people in total. But there are a lot of people on the scholar side. Each person is only allowed to pick one. If there are more, you won't be able to eat them later.

There are also a few rich and aloof scholars . Disdainful . A little pickle can win people's hearts.

People who get pickles soon express various praises. "It's too much to eat.

" "I can have another bowl of rice no problem.

" "Scholar Fang is really a great person. If I had a daughter-in-law who was so good at cooking, I wouldn't go out to study.

"

"After one of the scholars finished speaking, everyone laughed.

The usually quiet dining room became lively.

After hearing this, Yan Heilian's face darkened and he said to the teacher at the same table: "Who said this, you must write it down and look back. I'm going to take care of him. "Learning is a serious matter, how can you joke about it?"

Mr. Luo said, "Can you wipe the oil from your mouth before you say this?" "He ate the most at this table.

"It's really good. "This little pickle can produce such a flavor that the food in the dining room pales in comparison.

After a while, the canteen found that more than ten trays of steamed buns were sold out. Eat this little pickle with Steamed buns are a perfect match.

After hearing this, the chef in the dining room came out to take a look. Every time after steaming, there were two or three drawers left to sell at night. Why are they so popular today? Could it be that

the chef Yile has improved his skills in making steamed buns? Said: "I will steam two more drawers tomorrow.

The scholar next to him said, "Two drawers are not enough. I think it needs at least five drawers. " "The chubby chef was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes. It's true that practice makes perfect, and the craftsmanship gets better and better.

Everyone who had eaten Fang Shujing's pickles couldn't get enough after the meal, and they all followed Fang Shujing back. He walked into his dormitory and said, "Can you ask your sister-in-law to make some pickles to sell? No matter how much money it takes. "

Every one of them can share one piece, and they can eat well. I heard that Fang Shujing took a lot, and the smell lingers in the canteen every day. Where can they eat? Here. No one was particularly poor in studying,

so they all wanted to pay for it. The other three people in the dormitory consciously used their bodies to block the five jars placed under the table...

Chapter 47 Selling

Fang Shujing didn't expect that a small pickle would make everyone so enthusiastic. He said, "I'll write back and ask."

After hearing this, the scholars around him laughed and said, "Yes, how much does it cost?" The little pickle family made a delicious dish. After eating it so many times, Fang Shujing and his friends still make it the most delicious.

Fang Shujing's dormitory was very lively until night.

Everyone was hungry for the next few days. Fang Shujing picked up so many on the first day, plus those sent out, one-third of the altar was gone. There is still a little bit left in total, but the people in their dormitory are strictly guarding against letting them eat or drink.

Everyone suffered a lot when they were eating. They just felt that the meat cooked by the chef was tasteless. Fang Shujing was still making hatred, and he ate the fish. When he saw the color and luster, the people next to him Everyone swallowed hard looking at it.

A few days passed. Senior Brother Song went to Shang Shujing and said, "A carriage came outside, it seems to be your servant, and it said it was bringing pickles."

The words "pickles" seemed to have magic power, and the people around him immediately gathered around. I've been having a hard time eating for a few days.

I don't know if it was because I didn't beautify the first glimpse of it in my mind. I just thought that the pickles were as delicious as heaven and earth.

Fang Shujing walked out and saw Xu Quan, his servant, standing at the door and said, "The young master received your letter, and the young lady and I got busy immediately. We happened to find a pottery shop that specialized in a batch of small jars and bought them. I came back, washed and dried them and started packing them." His previous milk puff pastry business was shut down as soon as it started to pick up. This time I was extra attentive.

Pickles are very troublesome to make. But it tastes very fragrant. When they made it for Fang Shujing before, the quantity was too small, but this time they made a lot. They bought five kilograms of pork alone, and added their own dried radish, and it was delicious. . Even the people in the village were alarmed and they just bought some and went back to eat!

Xu Quan had only said a few words to Fang Shujing when he was surrounded by the young master's classmates and friends, asking: "How do you sell this?"

"Twenty cents per catty. Each jar contains one Thirty cents per catty, plus the five-cent jar, the total is thirty-five cents. As long as it is kept well, it can last for a month without spoiling. "They calculated the cost and could make ten cents per jar. This time they were lucky. If you come to Baidan, you can earn a tael of silver by paying for the bus!

It was precisely because he was the young master's classmate that he didn't dare to sell it too expensively to earn some hard-earned money.

These scholars have been greedy for a long time, and now that the price is not expensive, they immediately said: "Bring me three altars."

"I want five altars."

"Give me two altars."

"Oh, it's from my dormitory. I don't know yet, can you leave ten altars for me first, and I'll go back to get the money?" Someone didn't have the habit of carrying money with him, so he was very anxious.

These scholars have all tasted it and know it is a good food to go with their meals. There is no one who buys one jar, but three jars and five jars are the starting point.

"No one left it for you." A few people divided it up. Many people got the information temporarily, and they could hear the rumble of footsteps far away. Stimulated by the sound, fearing that there would not be enough to sell, everyone bought even more ferociously.

Xu Quan was unable to collect any money at the side, and some of them still had to change money.

Xu Quan was so excited that he broke into sweat and said, "No more." With his sharp eyes, he saw that many people didn't buy it.

I'm so bookish that I didn't buy it. It was fine if they didn't have it before, but now most people have bought it but they don't have it. "Then when will you come back?"

Xu Quan said: "In ten days." The other party Shujing said: "Master, our family is almost out of dried radishes." At first, they could not finish the green radishes they grew. Many of them were dried into radishes. As a result, I took it once to Mr. Hu from a private school in the county, and again to my friend Lin Yuchen. Plus this time, the inventory at home was gone. Fortunately, the young lady left ten kilograms for stewed meat during the Chinese New Year, otherwise it would have been sold out.

Fang Shujing said: "Since it's gone, please come back."

Those who bought it felt a little proud. After the three jars were finished, new ones came again. Little did he know that the person holding the pickles just now was being stared at. After walking a few steps, he was pulled aside by a familiar classmate and said politely: "Brother, give me a can, I didn't buy it."

"Yes, yes, give me a can too."

Shanlin Academy is also a small social gathering. Brothers who study together and get scolded together on weekdays often pass the latest story books to each other. Who can refuse such a small request?

But he was surrounded by several classmates, some with whom he had good relationships and some with whom he had only average relationships. He didn't know what to do. As long as one portion is evenly distributed, the second portion cannot be kept. But you can't give up your classmates and brothers for a jar of delicious pickles.

The joy of the successful purchase suddenly faded a bit, and I somewhat complained about the other boy's lack of work.

But there are only one hundred servings in total, and there are more than two hundred people in the academy, so there will always be someone who can't eat.

When Xu Quan saw everyone leaving, he took out a letter from his arms and said, "This is what the young lady wrote to you. There are also three big jars with five kilograms in them. The young lady asked you to give them gifts." "

Liu Yechen also guessed that the reason why pickles are so popular may be because the food in the study is not very delicious. So I did a little more.

Xu Quan was a little happy to find a business he could do again. He said: "Master, when we go back, let's collect some dried radishes that people in the village have dried, and bring more next time." In Qingshui Village, every household dries vegetables. Dried radishes are dried in every household, and they are not expensive to collect.

The main reason why pickles are expensive is that there are so many ingredients, oil and meat. But with him by his side, things made with strict cost-effectiveness cannot be compensated.

Fang Shujing said: "Okay, then you should go back early. The mountain road will be difficult to walk at night."

Xu Quan got on the carriage, thought for a while and said: "I will come back in ten days, what is missing here, Master?" What's wrong? If there's anything missing, I'll bring it too."

"No." He doesn't lack anything except his wife, but this is the only one the academy can't bring in.

Xu Quan left.

When Fang Shujing went back, there were many belated people who regretted not buying it. No one told them they were selling something just now? But I also got a message that I will come over to sell it in ten days! We all prepared the money early. If we didn't make it this time, we must do it earlier next time.

Fang Shujing went directly to give one of the three big jars to Mr. Luo, one to Mr. Wen, and one to Shan Chang.

The gentlemen think it is better to give this as a gift than to give money. His eyes were shining brightly.

By the time dinner started in the evening, the steamed buns were all being snapped up like crazy.

Are all kinds of aromas coming? Fang Shujing's fried pickles are delicious, and the soup is delicious when dipped in steamed buns.

I had one from Fang Shujing's before but it wasn't enough, so I finally bought a large one and brought it to the table, intending to enjoy it to my heart's content.

Pickles are a perfect match for steamed buns, so I ate half of the jar without realizing it. When I found the generous ones, I took them out and poured them into a bowl. My classmates and friends also picked up a few chopsticks, but they just didn't carry them and ate them all in one meal.

The lean diced pork in the pickles is also delicious. The firmness of the meat is a pleasant surprise when you eat it in your mouth.

Mr. Wen and Mr. Luo also came to the dining room to eat. The pickles given by students not only went well with the meal but also gave them face. Didn't you see that Yan Hei Lian always came over to rub against you? The other gentlemen were also greedy for this, but they couldn't help but come over to ask for it, wondering why they didn't have such good students.

Chapter 48 Competition

The study schedule at Shanlin Academy is very full, and the students in Class A are either geniuses with a photographic memory or very hardworking people.

There are a few classes every day, and the rest of the time is spent studying by myself in the dormitory. The oil lamp here is lit until midnight every day, and everyone gets up to read before dawn.

This kind of atmosphere is indeed much richer than that in a private school.

Fang Shujing has now become a celebrity in Class A, not because everyone loves to eat his pickles, but because Fang Shujing's class notes are very complete. There are always things I miss in class. Just borrow it and take a look and you will understand.

Moreover, Fang Shujing is generous and can be borrowed by anyone. In Class A, grades are still the most important thing, and he can pass the mid-range level in every exam he takes. Everyone felt that there was no suspense for him to win the scholar examination.

When Fang Shujing had nothing to do, he would open the letter from his wife to him and read it. His wife was thinking about him in the letter.

Every time I see his writing, it's like seeing someone else.

Although the people in the dormitory have never met Fang Shujing's daughter-in-law, they already have a lot of imagination. She must be a stunning beauty to make him miss her so much.

Fang Shujing replied a letter. After sending it, Liu Lin came over and said, "Is it done?" When he was writing the letter just now, he didn't dare to move forward. Fang Shujing seemed to be quite gentle, but who wants to Get close to him while he's writing and he'll get mad.

Liu Lin said: "This month's break, let's go to town for a drink?" Every break is too short, so it's better to just relax here.

Liu Lin saw that Fang Shujing was not very interested and said: "Junior Brother Fang, we are not going to the mountain just to drink. There are also many scholars and talented people at the mountain. We can make some friends after changing glasses at the wine table." People like them need to take exams. For exams, those who have been admitted over the years have been these "celebrities" who can both make a name for themselves and get to know some people, but they may not necessarily be used at any time.

Even people like Chen Laoshi attend several times a month.

Fang Shujing said, "Okay then."

When Liu Lin saw that he agreed, he made some preparations and went down the mountain. The town at the foot of Shanlin Academy is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The scenery in the town is very good, and it is very lively when entering the city. There are everything for sale, food and entertainment, but the most popular ones are all kinds of study rooms, which contain a wide variety of miscellaneous books privately collected by some famous people, and there is so much to read.

Liu Lin took him to a restaurant. As soon as I entered, I saw Man's inscription.

Seeing that they also looked like scholars, the waiter said:

"Two gentlemen, these on the wall were proposed by the old men who have held the title of Juren over the years. Our store has produced more than twenty people who have held the title of Juren. They have good Feng Shui. Why don't you try it?" Want to try the Zhuangyuanhong in our store?"

The scholars all wanted to get a good chance. When they heard this, they said: "Have a pot."

"Okay, please come in. There will be a cup of Wen in the store in half an hour. The two young masters are welcome to participate in the club's activities. If you get the leader, you will get a jar of wine as a gift. "The waiter is a smart person and explained the matter clearly in a few words.

Liu Lin took him to the private room on the second floor, sat down and said, "Let's try it today and see if we can get the Zhuangyuanhong they gave us. It costs twenty taels of silver to buy this jar alone." It's just a pot. It also costs 500 yuan.

After a while, the waiter brought the wine pot and gave some cold dishes as a gift: "You two, please take it easy." After the waiter finished speaking, he bent down and exited.

Liu Lin said with emotion: "They still know how to do business here. In the beginning, as long as the scholars of Shanlin Academy were able to come here to write inscriptions, they could exchange for a bottle of wine each time. They really accumulated a lot. As long as there are scholars who passed the exam, they would Hang the calligraphy and paintings to attract people to come and drink. "Every time the academy has a break, there are the most people here. Once the poems written get the title, they will become famous.

Not long after they arrived, they heard a knock and the door was pushed open. The person who came was a man with oily hair and a pink face. He looked downcast and looked strangely charming, not like a serious person.

Liu Lin was not prepared, and was startled by the loud noise when they broke in. "Who are you?"

The man's name was Xu Wen, and he was Xu Ziyang's cousin. When Fang Shujing was at Xu's house, Xu Wen looked down on him in every possible way. Because the two of them kept comparing each other, he always lost slightly.

He was feeling proud since Fang Shujing was driven away. He sneered and said, "I saw you downstairs just now. I didn't expect you to have the nerve to come back to study."

Liu Lin didn't know what happened, but he could feel him He frowned slightly and said, "Is there any misunderstanding between you two?"

Fang Shujing also felt disgusted with him and said, "Of course I can go wherever I want in this world."

Xu Wen I found out that he had returned to the farmer's house. I guess his life must not be as comfortable as when he was the young master of the Xu family. He looked up and down, without concealing the disgust in his words, and said: "A person like you deserves to be in a place like this. The sight of you makes me sick."

What he said was really too much for Liu who was nearby. Lin Du was furious and wanted to rush over to argue with him, but was stopped by Fang Shujing, who said: "Since the illness is not clear, we should wait until it recovers."

Xu Wen did not expect that he could be so calm. It seemed a little ridiculous that he was jumping up and down, and said angrily: "Aren't you just a child? What's so great about it?" Unexpectedly, he still looked down upon him now that he no longer had a prominent status.

Fang Shujing smiled and said: "You still look down on Tongsheng? You are not even a Tongsheng. Let's wait until you pass the exam."

Xu Wendao said: "Just wait for me." Although he did not do well in the exam, his father sponsored him A scholar even recognized his godson. The expenses for studying on weekdays are all paid by their family. Xu Wen secretly scolded him not to be so proud, there would always be times when he couldn't laugh.

After Xu Wen left, Liu Lin said: "Junior brother Fang, what is going on?"

Fang Shujing told him about the previous two families who gave birth to the wrong child, and he was stunned. I admired Fang Shujing more and more in my heart. I didn't expect that he had experienced so much and had lived such a prosperous life and suddenly returned to the countryside. Such a big gap was enough to destroy a person, but he persevered.

No wonder he comes from a farm family, but his temperament is as gentle as jade. It turns out that he has been polished for a long time.

However, Liu Lin was a little worried. Xu Wen didn't look like a decent person at first glance, and he didn't know what kind of dirty trick he was going to play.

Xu Wen came after a while and brought a scholar with him. Liu Lin's heart skipped a beat. He recognized this scholar as the leader named He Yu from last time. He is also a young genius. He did not enter their Shanlin Academy, but everyone in Class A is familiar with him. I debated and wrote poems several times without falling behind.

He Yu was still a child, very ambitious, and wanted to win three yuan in a row within a year.

How could such a person get involved with Xu Wen?

Xu Wendao: "Didn't you just mock me for my lack of knowledge? I specially found a helper. You are also a child, so don't say that I bully you."

Liu Lin vomited blood when he heard it, and it was not a big deal to pull the leader out last time. Bullying, then what counts as bullying?

Xu Wendao: "Why don't you just compete and show contempt? Whoever fails will be banned from taking the exam for a year?"

He was making a lot of noise at the door of the private room. There were originally many scholars here, and their quarrel disturbed many who were drinking and chatting. The scholar shouted out. They all came together to join in the fun and

said, "What's wrong?" Then they started chirping, "What's the hatred?" The scholars all took a breath after hearing the bet.

"Who dares to face He Yu?"

"What's wrong? I came late. Can anyone tell me what happened?"

Being banned from taking exams for one year is too harmful. Delaying it for one year may completely ruin your fortune.

If you agree to this matter, who would dare not to try your best if your future is blocked.

If they are familiar with each other, they will use their own future to make the other party famous.

But if you don't agree, you will be laughed at when you return to the academy. Being a scholar who doesn't even have this bit of blood is looked down upon.

Xu Wen stood proudly beside him, while He Yu also looked indifferent, with an annoying arrogance all over his body, as if he was determined that he would not lose this game.

Everyone likes to join in the fun. In the past, most of the scholars' tricks were to bet on some good wine. This is the first time such a big bet has been made.

Soon even the waiter and shopkeeper were alarmed.

The shopkeeper said: "Two gentlemen, if we want to discuss matters, let's free up the hall on the first floor."

Even the classmates from Class A who heard the news came over and got angry when they saw them fanning the flames. He said, "What are you doing?"

This was clearly bullying.

Everyone present knew that He Yu was a great talent. Although he was a child, his level was very high. He did not take the exam because he wanted to become famous after three years of silence. To crush Fang Shujing, he also proposed such a sinister method as banning the exam for one year.

"You are so shameless. You are going to attack us." Fang Shujing is modest, generous and polite. He always takes out the pickles he brings to share. Anyone can borrow his lecture notes. Now read Seeing others bullying others like this, everyone stood up one by one.

"Since such a talented man wants to teach me, let's have a wheel battle and see how far you can pass." One of the scholars from Class A said coldly.

"That's it, I heard that although He is just a boy, he has the ability to take the exam. Such strength is not competed in the examination room, but used for gambling. This is the first time I have seen him."

"Yeah, a one-year ban on taking exams is nothing. Since we want to have fun, it's better to play bigger. We'll be banned from taking exams for ten years."

These students in Class A are very sharp-tongued and never forgive others. The faces of He Yu and Xu Wen, who were crowded, turned red and white.

He Yu dared to stand up to Fang Shujing, but he really didn't dare to be reckless with the people in Class A. What was said before about him being a talented person even though he was a boy was also spread by his godfather, who wanted to establish his reputation as a talented person. As a well-known large academy, Shanlin Academy has a very solid foundation. There are all crouching tigers and hidden dragons here. Compared with these people, he has no certainty of victory!

Fang Shujing felt warm in his heart. Although they were provocative, it felt good to be protected by his classmates and friends, as if someone was supporting him.

Seeing that He Yu's mentality was a little broken, Xu Wen said: "We are talking to Fang Shujing, not you. Comparison or not has nothing to do with you."

Their little intention of bullying others has been exposed just now. At this time, they still insisted on competing with Fang Shujing.

The scholars who were watching looked at He Yu with contempt.

Ever since He Yu became famous at the age of sixteen, he had never received a cold look. Originally, Xu Wen asked him to compete and he didn't take it to heart. But this time it was different. He felt a little flustered by everyone's disdain for him, and said, "Are you competing?"

Fang Shujing said, "Competition is a competition." He doesn't cause trouble and is not afraid of trouble.

When Xu Wen heard his promise, he felt bursts of ecstasy: "This is what you said. A man is a man who spits, but he can't keep his word." Then the shopkeeper immediately laid out his pen and ink, feeling that Fang Shujing was so This time he was dead. He Yu is what the private school teacher said personally. No matter how knowledgeable Fang Shujing is, he is still an ordinary person. There is still a certain gap between ordinary people and talented people.

The shopkeeper had already arrived, and several familiar scholars had arrived, all of whom were highly respected in the town.

Even they have never seen anyone gambling on their future in so many years, and they are all very cautious. One of the old men with a long beard said: "Why don't you write a parallel prose with the theme of autumn frost and winter snow."

Parallel prose emphasizes that the rhythm of four or six sentences is harmonious, the contrast is neat, and it must rhyme. It's very difficult, and it's limited to one hour.

This short hour represents the future.

Don't even give them time to think too much.

When He Yu heard this topic, his mind went blank. In the past, if he wanted to write a satisfactory article, he would usually think about it for three to five days, and polish it countless times during the writing process. Make a final copy before showing it to your husband.

Now He Yu had to write an article in such a short period of time and did not panic. Even he found it difficult, so he had to calm down and start writing.

Fang Shujing was used to drafting the draft in his mind and finishing it in one go. He Yu had already started writing. But before he wrote it, everyone at Shanlin Academy suddenly broke into a cold sweat for him.

There are also some competitive scholars who ask for pen and ink from the store. They want to go over and write it again. After finishing it, they can compare it with what they have written so that they can know the gap between themselves!

Fang Shujing started writing after a short period of thinking. He used to be a storyteller, and his writing speed was much faster than that of ordinary people. People around him couldn't keep up with his speed.

The competition was originally very lively, and even if we lost, it didn't matter if we won it next time. But this time, the restaurant was completely silent during the competition, for fear that some noise would affect their competition.

There were many scholars in the town and something happened that was rare in ten years. A steady stream of scholars rushed here, wanting to join in the fun.

One hour is coming soon!

The old man with a long beard said: "The time has come."

Many scholars who were writing articles panicked, and it took them half an hour to choke out three lines of words.

The people at Shanlin Academy also became nervous.

Liu Lin's face turned pale, and he wished he could give himself a slap in the face. It would be great to be studying in the academy, but if he had to come out, he would be stuck here now. Even if Fang Shujing was banned from taking the exam for a year due to his involvement, he would not be able to forgive himself.

The first thing these three people read was He Yu's paper. The beautiful handwriting came into view. The first sentence was a famous line by a great poet of the previous dynasty, which firmly attracted attention. The writing of the article is also quite satisfactory. In his article, the autumn frost and winter snow have turned into charming scenery. The last sentence is also the arrogant poem I wrote when I became famous before, with a beginning and an end. Being able to write a new article in such a short period of time is amazing. Just by looking at the people present who can't write three or five lines of words in an hour, you can tell how outstanding he is.

"Okay." The long-bearded old man said. As expected of the leader last time! The young man is arrogant, but he has the ability to be crazy.

When the people at Shanlin Academy heard they praised He Yu, their hearts dropped. Scholars all know how important the imperial examination is. If they were banned from taking the exam for one year, it would be too much of a burden on their hearts! At that time, even if he comes off the field again, he may not be able to perform well.

One of them said: "It's just a competition. Winning and losing articles doesn't mean anything. I've been studying hard for ten years, why can I give up the exam just because of this?" This person is also from Shanlin Academy and wants to give Fang some advice. Shujing is trying to smooth things over.

But the more they behave like this, the more proud Xu Wen becomes: "You can't afford it. I made it clear before. If you can't afford it, I have a good way to get under my legs, so you can treat it as nothing." It never happened." He looked at Fang Shujing provocatively.

There were seventy or eighty people present. If he really followed what he said, he would never behave again: "You are going too far."

Xu Wen chuckled twice, feeling very happy.

Just when everyone thought that the dust had settled, and most of them wanted to comment on this matter, they saw the long-bearded old man pick up Fang Shujing's paper, and his eyes became sharp after taking a look at it. .

This...

seems to be slow and unhurried. It is obviously about the scenery, but in fact it is expressing emotions through the scenery. It is also very profound. Just reading this article, you would not think that this article was written by Tong Sheng, or at least by a famous scholar.

Not on the same level at all. The writing is beautiful, and the last two sentences sublimate the article.

The scenery is used to express feelings, and the feelings are used to set off the worries. In the end, the brushstrokes fall back to the plain scenery. It was as if the violent emotional fluctuations had never occurred.

But the aftertaste is long.

Before I read Fang Shujing's article, I thought He Yu's writing was very good, but after reading Fang Shujing's writing, I completely forgot what He Yu's article was about.

It can be seen from one article that he is open-minded. This level of thinking is beyond the reach of ordinary people. If I hadn't stared at the articles they wrote, I would have thought he had written them in advance.

It is said that an article should be revised a thousand times, and the more it is revised, the more perfect it becomes, but his article is a perfect article. Even the old man with a long beard does not know what needs to be revised.

After seeing Fang Shujing's article, the person who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger began to breathe quickly. He witnessed with his own eyes what it means for masters to compete with each other.

A person like He Yu, who would tremble at a certain level, was beaten by Fang Shujing.

There were three "invigilators" headed by the old man with a long beard. The other two were simply shocked when they saw the paper. They thought He Yuwen had won. How could things turn out like this.

However, there is no dispute that Fang Shu's net win is good or bad. Anyone who has read the book for a few years can see the quality of these two articles.

"The winner of this competition is..." The long-bearded old man gave up.

He Yu glanced at Fang Shujing contemptuously.

Fang Shujing ignored him at all.

"The winner this time is Fang Shujing."

As soon as he finished speaking. The originally quiet tavern suddenly exploded: "How is this possible?"

"I heard you right."

Even the people in Shanlin Academy were a little confused when they heard the news.

Liu Lin was the quickest to react and said hurriedly: "That's great."

The people at Shanlin Academy were also not slow to react, saying: "I thought I was some kind of top scholar, but it turns out the name doesn't live up to the reality."

He Yu even forgot the etiquette of a scholar . I couldn't believe that the parallel prose I was so proud of could lose. He immediately grabbed Fang Shujing's paper and started reading ten lines at a time. I originally thought there was a conspiracy here, but when I saw the article he wrote, my eyes widened, and I felt panic in my heart: "Impossible...impossible, how could it be possible?"

People around him were also curious about who had defeated the leader. What does the paper look like? He also came over and clicked his tongue in a moment.

Fang Shujing's article shocked even the old gentleman, and the scholar was even more amazed after reading it.

"It's so amazing."

"You, Shanlin Academy, have hidden such an amazing person."

"Oh my god, I just wrote this on the spur of the moment."

"Excuse me, could the scholar in front of you please let me copy it first?

"Yes, yes, I want to copy too." Xu

Wen did not expect that He Yu would lose to Fang Shujing. He Yu has decided to end next year. The family has spent a lot of money to make him famous, and his success will boost the family's business. , it can be said that everything was ready, but it was messed up because of his conflict of will.

He was breaking out in a cold sweat. If his father found out that he had done such a stupid thing, he would definitely beat him. At this moment, he no longer cared about his dignity, and shouted in a panic: "Did I leak the topic?"

It can be said that one sentence made sense. Hornet's nest.

The old man with a long beard said on the spot: "This is a topic I thought of at the moment. How can I explain it?"

Liu Lin did not forget his aggressive look just now and said: "Fang Shujing has never been here before."

He was always kind and kind . Yu's shopkeeper also said with a cold face: "Young Master, we all make friends here through literature. Why would you cheat? Please be careful." Looking at Xu Wen, he also looked like a human being. Why did he lose like this? Sorry, it's disgraceful.

There was also a burst of voices from the crowd: "Get out."

"You are not welcome here, a place where nothing is made of fuss."

Everyone could see that he wanted to regret it. He used to show off his power, but now he is cheating in every possible way.

Someone said: "By the way, you just made a good suggestion. If you don't want to admit defeat, just take advantage of it."

"This is really a good idea." The scholar booed next to him.

Xu Wen was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

He Yu had never been squeezed out like this since he was praised for his talent at the age of sixteen. He also thought about being banned from taking exams for a year and not being able to deny it in front of so many people. Listening to the ridicule and ridicule, his hands were shaking with anger, and then his eyes darkened and he fell straight down.

Xu Wen was heartbroken on the spot, it was over, he was in big trouble this time!

Chapter 49 Drinking

After He Yu fainted, he started to panic again. The only doctor in the town also rushed over. The result of the pulse diagnosis said that he was suffering from shortness of breath and that there was nothing serious. The excitement ended in such a dramatic way, and the shopkeeper gave Fang Shujing a jar of champion red.

Many students from Shanlin Academy had spoken up for him just now, and this jar of wine was naturally shared by everyone.

After that, I returned to the academy.

They caused such a big trouble in the small town, and the gentlemen in the academy already knew about it.

When everyone was called to the hall at night, Yan Hei's face was already fierce, and he was even more frightened when he was angry.

Yan said with a black face: "You are not allowed to go to the town anymore! You play in the mountains when you are sleeping. The academy teaches you knowledge so that you can distinguish right from wrong and know the wisdom of your ancestors. It is not for you to go out and show off."

This matter The scholars of Shanlin Academy were dissatisfied: "Sir, they were the first to provoke this matter. We are not to blame at all."

Yan Hei said with a black face: "I have my own fair judgment on this matter. If anyone dares to commit a crime in this matter, then It depends on whether my ruler will agree or not."

Even those who disagreed with his approach would not dare to say anything. The strict ruler with a black face was specially made by someone. Once it hits the flesh, it feels like torture.

After announcing the matter with a black face, Yan said: "Fang Shujing is coming with me."

Liu Lin, who lived in the dormitory next to him, became anxious and said: "Sir..." He was afraid that Fang Shujing would be punished.

As a result, Yan Hei Lian came over with a single glance, and Liu Lin froze on the spot.

Fang Shujing said: "It's okay." On the contrary, he comforted Liu Lin a few times.

Soon Fang Shujing followed Yan Heilian and left, and the rest of the people were not calm and started talking in low voices.

People who have a good relationship with Fang Shujing all have worried faces. In the past, Yan Hei Lian was very fierce and would punish them to death if they found an opportunity to make mistakes. Will Fang Shujing get any good results if he follows him?

But Fang Shujing was not as dangerous as they thought. At this moment, he followed Yan Heilian all the way, turning here and there to a brightly lit room.

Opening the room, the mountain chief, Mr. Luo, and Mr. Wen were all sitting inside. Seeing him coming, the mountain leader nodded towards him with a slight smile.

Fang Shujing greeted them one by one.

Mr. Luo said: "Paper and pen are ready. Write the article you wrote this morning silently again."

Fang Shujing agreed and wrote it quickly.

After the ink dried, everyone rushed over to take a look.

The mountain leader stroked his beard and said: "Yes, it is a good work." The mountain leader did not expect that Fang Shujing had such an open-minded mind. In time, he would definitely become a great writer! He was very concerned about Fang Shujing. It seemed that he had hidden his clumsiness in his previous papers. He was good, he was capable, he had a big heart, and he knew how to hide his edge. The young marquis recommended an amazing student to them.

Mr. Luo and Mr. Wen also thought it was good after reading it.

Mr. Luo said: "These students at the foot of the mountain are too arrogant. Whenever they see students from our academy, they will come forward to compete. In the end, they will step on our students to become famous." Is there really no one in Shanlin Academy?

That's why Yan Hei Lian told everyone that they are not allowed to go to town in the future. Especially when we have to prepare for important exams next. It's really not worth it if it's because of other external things that affect your mental capacity and emotions.

Mr. Wen said: "I have also read He Yu's papers. I can only say that he is considered the best among the children. If he comes to our academy, he can only enter Class B." The previous bragging was a bit too much.

In fact, scholars all hope to become famous all over the world, and it is understandable to use some means, but it seems that he has been deceived by these false names, and he actually thinks that he is an amazing and talented person, which becomes ridiculous.

This time it can be regarded as stealing the chicken but losing the rice, and teach him a lesson.

There are too many talented people in the world. If you don't have a humble heart, you will only limit yourself.

A few people were chatting, and Fang Shujing, a person who enjoys grudges like Mr. Luo, was very happy to deal with them so happily. He said with a smile: "If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely end up giving them some trouble." Look at the color. "Fortunately, Fang Shujing didn't lose, otherwise the opponent would have raised his tail to the sky.

Mr. Luo said: "I really should have a few drinks." Then he looked at Fang Shujing and said: "Let's eat some together later."

There are very strict rules in Shanlin Academy. It is so flattering to be able to sit at the same table to eat with Mr. Luo. .

The mountain chief also agreed and said: "But... there is no wine." The dining hall on the mountain does not sell wine. On weekdays, teachers and students keep some for themselves, and no one will ask about it, but they are all drunk.

Yan Heilian and others pretended not to hear at this moment. He was the stingiest person, and it was hard to get a drink from him.

When everyone was at a loss, Fang Shujing said: "I still have some here." When he came, he brought some good wine, which was given by Lu Quantou.

After coming here, I have been studying so hard that I forgot to drink. Now I was reminded that I still have several jars of wine locked in my cabinet. When

Mr. Luo heard that he still had wine, he said: "Get it quickly."

After Fang Shujing left, Yan Hei looked contemptuously and said: "You still drink students' wine?"

Mr. Luo snorted: "This Now you come here to pretend to be a good person, and we want to drink your wine, but you won't give it to us."

Yan Heilian was speechless when he heard that they were still thinking about their own secrets.

Scholars like to drink.

Especially those saints from the previous dynasty were prone to produce works after drinking too much.

Drinking wine and writing articles have become one of the great joys in my life.

Soon Fang Shujing took out a jar. Seeing how tightly the wine was packaged and the wine jar was covered with yellow mud, everyone's eyes shone brightly except for Shan Chang.

Fang Shujing has some good stuff. If I read it correctly, this is aged wine.

It seems that they also want to seal up some good wine and drink it when they have the opportunity, but they can't resist the temptation at all, so they just drink it after thinking about it.

Soon Fang Shujing skillfully knocked off the yellow mud on it, and the aroma of wine wafted from the mouth of the altar.

A lively person like Mr. Luo is already scratching his head and head with greed when he smells the good wine.

Fang Shujing found a wine bowl and poured out the wine, which was slightly yellow in color. The wine that has been stored for five years is good, and it looks like it will be shiny when poured out. The scent is so overbearing that it even worries the wine bug in my stomach.

Mr. Luo first picked up a bowl and took a sip. It was mellow and thick but had a soft alcoholic feel.

I couldn't help but take another sip: 'What a good wine. "

Soon Mr. Wen and the mountain leader also took a sip. It was indeed good. It was much better than the wine they had saved before.

This wine was found by the deer hunter with great effort. He wanted to save something good for himself to drink, but Later, he wanted to make friends with Fang Shujing, so he reluctantly gave up the good wine and tea to him! Yan Heixian went to the dining room

to spend some money to ask the chef to make it.

Some food and drinks were brought over soon, and the five of them sat there eating and drinking.

The wine was soft in the mouth, but it had a strong aftertaste.

After a few glasses of good wine, we started talking about the important events in the DPRK. Fang Shujing didn't understand and didn't interrupt. He was drinking and eating nearby, and occasionally listened nearby, and he learned a lot of things that the public had never heard of. No comments were made.

Drinking wine and talking, the night soon got late.

They drank a little, but there was still more than half a jar of wine left. I gave the wine to the mountain leader in front of so many people.

The mountain chief was also very happy, and Shujing praised him repeatedly: "You are very good."

Several gentlemen around him also coveted his good wine, but it was really hard for him to drink it if it was given to the mountain chief.

Fang Shujing went back and took a nap, and woke up early the next day. Even if he drank too much good wine, he wouldn't have a headache the next day.

Liu Lin and the others visited Fang Shujing early in the morning and were relieved to see that he was not punished, but they made up their minds never to take him out again! After Fang Shujing became famous in one battle, there were countless scholars eager to compete with him.

Don't let me go down the mountain. It was quite peaceful for them to study on the mountain. It's just that Mr. Luo and Mr. Wen are better than Fang Shujing. He was always invited to have a drink with their husband's dormitory on the day of rest.

...

Another month passed in a flash, and it started to snow after winter came. Silver snowflakes cover everything with a beautiful layer of white!

The weather is getting colder.

There was already a layer of ice on the roadside. Every day in the dormitory, I wanted to wrap myself in a ball to resist the cold.

There is no fire bed here, it all depends on the number of beddings and the righteousness!

I just entered the library to study. When I came in, I was given a bowl of steaming ginger soup. I hope I can get rid of the cold, but I can't resist it for long. The ink is almost frozen into lumps of ice, and it hisses when I write the article. Not only students suffer, but gentlemen also suffer!

There were originally more than twenty people in Class A, but now there are only about ten people in class every day. Many people have suffered from the cold this year.

Seeing that the coldest time was not yet here, the mountain chief made a quick decision and said: "Let the students go back earlier this year." There was still more than a month before the Chinese New Year, so it was better to go back early than to suffer the cold here.

Everyone was very happy to hear the news, unlike Fang Shujing who came late and went home on the way. They hadn't seen their parents for nearly a year, and they all looked for their fellow villagers to go together. They also wanted to go back and tidy up, so they followed the carriage down the mountain and left together.

Because it was a short notice, Fang Shujing didn't have time to write to his wife, so she wanted to go back in advance to give him a surprise. When I went down the mountain, I said goodbye to my friends and husband and rushed down the mountain in a hurry. I was so eager to return home that I didn't even bother to buy a gift for my wife.

In the village, Liu Yechen discovered that it was snowing again early in the morning. Their house was very warm, so they didn't suffer at all this year. But when he opened the window, the wind and snow outside poured in, which still made him shiver all over. He had no time to take care of himself, but he was worried about another person in his heart.

Chapter 50 Heartbeat

It was already evening when Fang Shujing got home. He gave the fare to the groom, and when he opened the door of his house, his hands were so cold that he could no longer feel anything.

The courtyard was also quiet. He walked quickly into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard a cheerful dog barking: "Woof, woof, woof."

Over the past few months, Ah Huang at home has grown into a big dog. It was cold outside this year, and Liu Yechen didn't want him to suffer outside, so he just I built a small nest for him in the corner of the house.

The dog barked loudly at home, Xu Quan came out immediately, and Liu Yechen also came out to take a look. The two of them were surprised when they saw Fang Shujing: "Master, why are you back?"

Liu Yechen heard that he would be back around the New Year's Day. , I have been feeling low since winter. Now that he saw Fang Shujing, his eyes widened on the spot: "Mr. Sir." Then he got into Fang Shujing's arms regardless of Xu Quan's presence.

Fang Shujing had just come back from outside. He was very cold from the wind that had been blowing all day. But Liu Yechen didn't mind at all and grabbed Fang Shujing's hand with his hand. I want to rub his fingers to warm them up.

Fang Shujing said: "It was too cold in the academy, so the gentlemen let us back in advance." It was really comfortable to be hugged by my little wife.

This was the feeling that haunted him, and the pain he suffered all the way back was worth it when he saw his wife's happy face.

Xu Quan said: "Master, have you eaten yet? I'll get some for you."

"Just a quick bite." I did bring some dry food with me when I was on the way, but it was too cold to stretch out and I didn't eat it. After returning to the warm home, my appetite gradually regained consciousness.

As soon as Liu Yechen heard that he hadn't eaten anything, he had to cook. When Fang Shujing hugged him back hard, he put his head on Liu Yechen's shoulder and said, "Daughter-in-law, it's cold!"

Liu Yechen also felt sorry for him and said, "Then let's go back to the kang, it's warm over there."

Fang Shujing nodded in agreement.

It was very hot in Liu Yechen's room. He took off his outer clothes, planning to wash them tomorrow and put on a new pair. She covered herself up on the warm bed, and soon a soft body pressed against her.

Liu Yechen looked at Fang Shujing and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He still thought about it today but it didn't work out, but he came back in the evening. It's really like a dream!

Seeing his little wife looking at him with joyful eyes, when her body was getting warmer, he pulled her in and gave her a kiss.

Liu Yechen liked having his scent on his body. He was always shy and did not refuse even if he was kissed.

Only the heat quietly stained his cheeks.

Fang Shujing hugged him and said, "Have you missed me?"

Liu Yechen missed him every day, but when he asked him like this, he felt shy and embarrassed. Duplicity: "I didn't think so."

Liu Yechen said: "Liar." When his little wife saw him, the surprise in her eyes was not meant to fool people.

Liu Yechen leaned in Fang Shujing's arms, still warming his hands and letting his hands rest on his heart.

Liu Yechen said: "I know you still ask."

Fang Shujing could see his wife's delicate ears, which still had a little velvety feeling. He pinched them gently, and the flesh was still very soft.

Liu Yechen's ears were a very sensitive place. He felt a little itchy when he was pinched like this. He said, "Stop... stop making trouble."

Fang Shujing leaned into his ear and said, "Daughter-in-law, I miss you."

Before . I didn't know before we got married, but after we got married, I became more worried. I was always worried about whether he would be cold or not eat.

Liu Yechen's warm breath came from his ears, and he felt his body soften a little. She put all her strength on him and said, "I miss you too." After he finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed and blinked.

Fang Shujing said: "When I pass the examination as a scholar, we will never be separated again!"

Liu Yechen felt a little aggrieved again: "Don't lie to me, you want to leave me alone at home, why do you still have a wife?" ? "After getting married, I became even more lonely!

Fang Shujing felt a little guilty in his heart and said, "I was wrong, please hit me, please." She coaxed gently in his ear.

Liu Yechen glanced at him and said nothing angrily, knowing clearly that he couldn't bear it.

Fang Shujing said: "Daughter-in-law, you are so beautiful."

Liu Yechen was a little embarrassed: "Don't talk nonsense." The little

daughter-in-law covered her side for a long time, raised her eyes and said, "Are you warmer?"

"Yes."

The daughter-in-law said: "My mother gave us two bags of rice and one bag of noodles after the autumn harvest." They are the only ones in the village who can eat fine grain every day.

Fang Shujing said: "If I give it to you, just keep it and return it to him next year when we grow food in the fields."

Liu Yechen hummed.

Then he looked at Fang Shujing and whispered: "I've been really good at diagnosing and listening to my pulse recently. I feel like the child in my sister-in-law's belly is a son." He had heard his master talk about the different characteristics of men and women before, and he just thought it was so mysterious. He didn't expect that he would also It can be diagnosed.

Upon hearing this, Fang Shujing said, "Doctor Xiao Liu has superb medical skills. I really admire you."

Liu Yechen blushed when he saw that he was joking and said, "It's true. I can diagnose the pulse very accurately now. I didn't do it before." It's so weird."

He didn't know what happened to him, but Fang Shujing did. His vegetables and water are all sprinkled with spiritual spring water. Over time, people will gradually improve their health and their five senses will become sharper. It makes no difference to ordinary people, but Liu Yechen is a doctor. Putting this set on him will be very beneficial to the improvement of his medical skills.

Fang Shujing said, "Have you told your mother about your diagnosis?" His eldest brother got married late, and both Ms. Fang and Father Fang were looking forward to the child being born soon. They would be even happier if it was a son.

"Not yet. I don't know if it's right or not. If I say it, they will be disappointed if it turns out it's not the case."

Fang Shujing glanced at his wife approvingly and said, "She's thoughtful." His little daughter-in-law is doing things. It's safe.

The two chatted in the room for a while. Soon I heard Xu Quan say: "Master, Madam, it's time to eat."

Pulling Fang Shujing up, Liu Yechen was also very happy and stayed with him.

After winter, Xu Quan stocked up on a lot of meat. I learned this trick from Mr. Fang. When it's freezing outside, just find a big water tank with no water in it, and just put some frozen goods such as chicken, duck, fish, and pork, which can last all winter.

It also saves you from the price increase of pork during the Chinese New Year.

Their family had made a lot of preparations. The little roosters they had had gained five or six pounds and were slaughtered. After the winter came, they only ate food but did not grow any meat. Their family had a total of twenty roosters, and they sold fifteen. Liu Yechen made the decision and gave two to Fang, while he kept three at home.

Today I made a stir-fried little rooster.

When the chicken is cooked, a little more soy sauce is added to make it darker in color, but their chicken is tender and smooth, and is delicious when stir-fried. If you have the money, you can go to a house in the village tomorrow and exchange the eggs for some pickled sauerkraut and a warm stew.

Fang Shujing had eaten the food cold when he was in the academy dining room before. It's been a long time since I've had such a steaming meal.

Fang Shujing ate a lot. Next to him, Liu Yechen kept picking up food for him, for fear that he wouldn't be full.

Half the pot of rice and most of the little rooster were almost eaten. Seeing how much he loved to eat, Liu Yechen said, "If I had known you could stay home for so long, I wouldn't have sold the rooster. We can eat it ourselves." Watching the husband go out. Studying is not easy, and it is rare that when you get home, you want to be served delicious food and drinks.

Xu Quan said: "Raise more next year, and it will definitely be enough for the young master. Our little roosters are delicious. They have also attracted many repeat customers. Many people in the village said they would order from our house early next year." He served It's exquisite, the little rooster eats and drinks well, the chicken cage is cleaned every day, and there is no smell at all. I wanted to raise them to seven or eight pounds before slaughtering them, but I didn't expect that winter would come so early this year.

Fang Shujing said: "It's delicious."

Not only did he eat happily, but even Ah Huang kept wagging his tail. I saw it was very greedy next to me. Fang Shujing also threw two pieces of meat to him, and Ah Huang jumped up to catch them.

When Fang Shujing brought him back, he was still a little puppy, but now he has grown up. The fur is shiny, the big paws and big ears look majestic, but this guy still thinks of himself as a puppy, especially when begging for food.

After dinner, it was getting late.

Fang Shujing said: "Let's all go to bed early." Tomorrow morning he would go to the old house to pay his respects.

"Okay." Xu Quan quickly packed up the dishes and went out. Liu Yechen went back to the room with Fang Shujing.

The fire kang was rebuilt in the house. Although it's freezing outside, it's warm inside.

Liu Yechen said: "Whatever you want to eat tomorrow, I'll make it for you."

"Anything is fine." Fang Shujing is not so picky about what he eats.

Liu Yechen hummed.

Fang Shujing looked at him. His little wife under the light was even more beautiful. He hadn't seen his wife for a long time, and just seeing him busy beside her made her feel happy.

The two of them were in the same room. Liu Yechen naturally felt that his husband's eyes were always staring at him, and his cheeks became redder and redder. He felt that the room was too hot today, and even his cold physique was sweating slightly.

Fang Shujing was lying on the bed, telling his wife about the things in the academy. This was a completely different scene for Liu Yechen. In addition, Fang Shujing was originally a storyteller who wrote some very ordinary things. It became very lively and interesting in his mouth.

Fang Shujing also lay on his arm and listened fascinated, and asked some questions from time to time, extremely curious.

By the time I finished talking about what happened in the past few months, it was already late at night, and it would be dawn if I didn't sleep for more than three hours.

The fire was no longer as bright as before in the latter half of the night.

"Daughter-in-law, go to sleep."

When Liu Yechen heard this, he pressed his body against Fang Shujing's body and said, "Are you still cold?" I don't know when the only thing left on the wife's body was a small bellyband.

This was too exciting for a man who had not eaten meat for several months. Fang Shujing said: "It's not cold..."

Since neither of them could sleep, it was better to do something more interesting.
