I'm just a dude

Chapter 23

There are many dudes in Beijing, including romantic young men who are proficient in arts and science, and there are also fun-loving and loyal young men like Ruan Hong.Of course, there are more of them, such as Marquis Wu'an, who are profligate and spend all day playing with prostitutes for fun.

These people all love toddlers and concubines. In recent years, it has become popular to find some young voice actors to pretend to be book boys, and play with them for fun. "Father and son" just to have more fun while doing it.

Xu Yu didn't understand these things at all, until she entered the history of Dali Temple and saw the inside story of all kinds of strange cases, and then realized that the world is so big, and there are no surprises.

Qi Yuan and Fang Chenghe are both dragons and phoenixes, young geniuses, if the two of them hadn't been too intimate that day, and Qi Yuan was secretive and acting suspiciously, he wouldn't have thought about it too much.Now Qi Yuan wants to call him brother brother?

Return to brother?

What is this like?

Xu Yu couldn't help but wonder if it was because she was acting too undignified that Qi Yuan had strange thoughts.

Qi Yuan sat cross-legged on the opposite side, looking at him with burning eyes.

Xu Yu straightened her clothes, then sat down solemnly, waved her hands and said, "It's enough to match the words."

Qi Yuan sighed: "I haven't written yet."

He used to be called Young Master and Young Master in Qi Mansion, or Erlang by his friends. Anyway, he was a merchant and he was not very old, so he didn't take his name yet.On the other hand, Qi Yuan wanted to wait for Uncle Zhongyuan, his own father, to pick him up. Uncle Zhongyuan had been away for two years, and his life and death were uncertain, so it is estimated that this matter will not be settled in the short term.

Qi Yuan also had some regrets.

"Aren't you willing to be a brother?" Seeing that Xu Yu was very resistant, Qi Yuan thought about it, probably the other party wanted to keep a distance from him.It seems that not everyone is as easy to get along with as Fang Chenghe.

Xu Yu was silent.

Qi Yuan said shyly, "Okay then, let's just call him Young Master."

He was also a very face-saving person, and always felt that Xu Yu was easy to get along with. After this incident, he was just a kind person, but he didn't necessarily like to get along with him.This makes people feel a little lost.

Qi Yuan didn't bother himself anymore, he took a rest early, wrapped himself tightly with the quilt, and turned his back to Xu Xuan.

For some reason, Xu Yu could see the meaning of sadness from the back of that ball.It's just that the title of brother is really inappropriate. He hesitated and decided to stick to his bottom line.

In the next few days, Xu Xuan would go out early and return at night every day, and when she saw Qi Yuan, she would definitely treat her with courtesy, bowing and saluting at every turn.

It's not good for Qi Yuan to accept the other party's gift, so he has to follow the example and return the gift.The two behaved very politely, and they didn't say much after returning to the numbered room. Xu Wei either read a book or practiced calligraphy, and Qi Yuan also practiced calligraphy, but after a few minutes, he was impatient, so he went to sleep sullenly.

At first Xu Yu just wanted to treat each other with courtesy, but later seeing that Qi Yuan seemed to be in a bad mood, he was not willing to talk to her anymore, and felt a little bit regretful, wondering if his behavior that day was too hurtful.

Qi Yuan is indeed in a bad mood these days, but it's not entirely because of Xu Wei, the main reason is that the life of the Imperial College is too hard.

In the Imperial College, there is a special Shengjian hall to control students, so the students in the prison have to sign on the name book when they enter and leave the dormitory from the moment they wake up in the morning.Early in the morning and one evening, the ceremony of ascension to the hall, the endorsement of lectures, and even the signing of the ceremony.

The rules are strict and the homework is clear.

The school that Qi Yuan is in already has the loosest rules. The head of this school is the elder at the door. He has a very good temper. The instructor is not very strict with them, but their homework is the same as other classes-recite every day The Dagao has 100 characters, the Benjing has 100 characters, and the Four Books has 100 characters.

In addition to writing, you have to write one piece a day, or Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, or Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, or Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Show it to Mr.

Although the instructors at Guangyetang knew that he was known as a child prodigy, but seeing that he was young, they were lenient. If there were many typos, they would gently remind him.Fang Chenghe was different, if Qi Yuan made a typo, he would have to stare at him and rewrite it ten times before letting it go.

Qi Yuan complained so much that he almost wanted to turn his back on him, but it was useless, this place was no better than at home, there were people supporting him everywhere.

For several days in a row, he started reciting books every morning, Fang Chenghe forced him to practice calligraphy during the break, and he had to recite his book with broken titles in the afternoon. As the days passed, his wrists became sore and his voice became hoarse.

It’s okay to work so hard every day to learn, and it’s not good to eat it raw.

When Qi Yuan first came here, he thought they all ate like Ruan Hong, but Fang Chenghe took him to the banquet hall the next day, only to find out that everyone ate here.

Naturally, the food in the banquet hall is not delicious. Although Qi Yuan also eats porridge and side dishes all day long in the Zhongyuanbo Mansion, just like being a monk, but Hufu likes to think about some tricks in cooking, which is more delicious than the food here. .Probably because Jiansheng comes from all over the world and has different tastes, so it is simply cooked here.

There was also a notice posted on the food hall, which stated the rations of the supervisors. Each person had their own rations of vegetables, pickled vegetables, tofu and soybeans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, pork flour, etc., as well as dried fish, three It can be eaten once a day.

Everyone can't talk while eating, and the supervisor is watching. Everyone can only be seated according to the class of the school they belong to.

Qi Yuan had never seen Ruan Hong come over, and when he asked Fang Chenghe, he found out that Ruan Hong and the other dudes couldn't get used to the food in the prison, so he bribed the prison guard with money early on, and ordered food from restaurants outside every day. of.

This kind of thing was repeatedly banned in the Guozijian. Most of the students in the shadow prison and regular prison were either rich or noble, so it gradually became a custom.

Ruan Hong originally intended to let Qi Yuan eat with him, but Fang Chenghe forbade them to hang out together all day long, and Qi Yuan also knew that he had no money and didn't want to take advantage of others, so although he was greedy, but after knowing the truth, I just obediently go to the restaurant for dinner.

He was naturally envious in his heart, and in the first few days he secretly made up his mind that he must make money as soon as possible, and then he would also ask the restaurant to deliver meals, and go to have a small stove with Big Brother Fang.Later, Fang Chenghe took care of him every day, and he was full of resentment, so he changed his mind and refused to let Fang Chenghe eat, and punished him to watch.

Having a bad time in the school, returning to the No. [-] room, seeing Xu Yu respecting her like ice, naturally made her even more unhappy.Qi Yuan was also good at saving face, so he became like a gourd with a saw-mouth in the number room, keeping his mouth shut all day long, usually not talking to Xu Yu in a fit of anger.

The few days of endorsement passed by in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day when the Imperial College resumed speaking.

For Qi Yuan, besides the exam, the scariest thing here is to repeat the lecture.

The re-speaking in the Imperial College is the opposite of the meeting.

The lectures are held in the Yilun Hall, six times a month, and the contents include the Four Books, the Five Classics, the Great Proclamation, and the Encyclopedia of Nature and Principles.The lecturer is either Jijiu or other instructors. If other instructors are explaining, Jijiu must read the script first, so he attaches great importance to it.

As for the re-speaking, it will be a big random check three days later. All the supervising students will stand on the balcony in front of Yilun Hall and draw lots in turn.

Although Qi Yuan was forced to study hard for the past few days, it had some effect, but he only memorized the four books by stumble, and he couldn't even solve the questions, so he was particularly afraid of being drawn.

At that time, if you can't answer after winning the lottery, you will be mentioned in front of the "painful decision" ten times.That would be embarrassing in front of all the students in the Imperial College.

Qi Yuan was very worried about this, so he dressed neatly early in the morning.Fang Chenghe was already waiting for him at the gate of retreat, seeing him rushing out with a disturbed expression, he couldn't help but smiled: "Why, are you still afraid?"

Qi Yuan let out a "hmm".

Fang Chenghe didn't say anything else, turned around and took him to Yilun Hall, and told him: "When others repeat the speech, it doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, just stand obediently and don't move around. There are instructors and teachers on both sides. Jiancheng is watching. If you stand in the wrong position, or if you are not upright and serious, you will be executed ten times on the spot."

The rules of speaking are very strict, and there are quite a lot of requirements for re-speaking.

Qi Yuan nodded, becoming more and more nervous: "What if I get drawn?"

Fang Chenghe comforted: "You only came when I was going to talk last time, so you shouldn't be caught, so relax."

Having said that, Qi Yuan was still uneasy, seeing that he was already on the balcony, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only stand behind the crowd in order.

The drum for the promotion hall suddenly sounded, and all the supervisors stood up according to their positions, standing in awe.Hundreds of supervisors wore jade-colored shirts and square scarves. The courtyard was lush with trees and warmed by the morning breeze. It was a very high-spirited scene.

The order of the draw starts with the best willful hall.Draw one person from each class.

Because Qi Yuan was the youngest, he was arranged in front of Guangye Hall.He strained his ears, held his breath, and listened to the instructor read: "Frankness Hall, Xu Yu."

Qi Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously looked forward.

Sure enough, Xu Wei stepped out from the team in the Zhixingtang, first saluted the sacrificial wine and the instructors, and then went to draw lots to repeat the lecture.I just listened to the instructor read out the content of his re-teaching: "The human heart is only dangerous, the Taoist heart is only subtle, but the subtlety is one..."

Qi Yuan didn't understand what he was going to talk about last time. Now when he heard the topic, he could only hear "Hey, hey, hey". .

Xu Yu seemed to have noticed his gaze, turned her face this way, met his gaze and then paused for a moment, then pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly.

The third son of Xu is handsome and handsome, with a refined appearance, this smile is like a fairy coming down to earth, Qi Yuan was slightly startled, and blushed in a hopeless manner.

He snorted softly in his heart, quickly looked away, and after thinking about it again, he was a little annoyed, and smiled at himself for no reason, did he want to make up?It's also too cheap.

His own mind was in a mess, but his ears couldn't help but perk up, listening to Xu Yu's movements.

However, he didn't even know the source of that sentence, he could only hear Xu Yuang standing on the stage, and Qingyue's voice said in a calm and unhurried voice: "Those who are inside, keep the righteousness. Those who are close to the outside are beyond human This is the essence of the sage's heart-to-heart transmission. The reason why a sage is a sage is because of his internal and external friendship..."

Hundreds of prison students in front of Yilun Hall were solemnly dressed, holding their breath and concentrating.Only Xu Xuan's voice was clear and eloquent, and he talked freely.The more Qi Yuan listened to it, the more he admired him. Although he didn't know what he said, he could tell from the expressions of the people around him that Xu Xuan was very serious.

Sure enough, when Xu Yufu finished speaking, Gong Jijiu was already smiling, obviously very satisfied with him, and praised him in public for being able to trigger penetration, and for being excellent in arts and sciences.After giving the reward, Xu Yu was asked to stand with him in front.

Apart from admiration, all the prison students envied him one after another, and all looked forward.

Downstairs were the Chengxin Hall and the Xiudao Hall. The two selected supervisors answered that they had no merit or fault.

Further down, there is Guangyetang.For some reason, the sacrificial wine suddenly made a sound, and asked people to smoke the Justice Hall first.

The Zhengyi Hall drew a familiar name, Lu Qiu.

Lu Qiu was obviously not prepared enough, and he slowly walked out from the back of the Hall of Justice, his legs trembling, his face pale.

Qi Yuan didn't expect to see this person today, he looked up and saw him like that, he couldn't help but hum in his heart - on the day of the temple fair, Lu Qiu insisted on stopping him from competing in poetry and art, he thought that this person How powerful it is, I can't see it now.

He was happy in his heart, and there was a smile on his face, and he looked forward with an expression of watching the excitement, his eyebrows were raised high, wishing to have a pair of eyes to watch the excitement together.

He was standing in the front row, so this small gesture was very conspicuous.

Xu Yu could see clearly from the front, and secretly screamed that it was not good, so she hurried to pay attention to Gong Jijiu's expression.Sure enough, Gong Jijiu glanced around and frowned slightly when he saw Qi Yuan like this, as if he was not satisfied.

Lu Qiu's topic is very short, which is "Men's face and back" in "Mencius".

The instructor gave him the note, nodded, and signaled to start.

But Lu Qiu only responded, and after receiving the note, he stood there silently, and after a while, he saw beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, and his calves were spinning continuously, as if he was about to collapse. Go down the same.

Gong Jijiu's face was already extremely ugly, but he kept silent.Time passed little by little, until a quarter of an hour later, Lu Qiu still did not answer a word.

Although the supervisors were not allowed to make noise, they couldn't help looking forward with curiosity, sympathy or ridicule, and some who hadn't been drawn were secretly worried and hurriedly wiped their sweat.

Gong Jijiu waited for a while, and then reprimanded him in a cold voice: "I only study humble things all day long, and don't pay attention to learning, what a shame! Go, and receive the punishment with your instructor!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd, Qi Yuan shrank his head, and was about to secretly worship Buddha for blessing, when the instructor in front shouted: "Next, Guangyetang, Qi Yuan!"
