I'm just a dude

Chapter 29

In fact, Qi Yuan is not quite clear about Xu Xuan's level.He also couldn't understand anything in the last re-lecturing, but he guessed that he should be very powerful only by seeing how others admired him.

Now, Xu Ting taught him a good lesson with practical actions - he was not only promoted to the monastery hall this time, but the exam answer sheet was also copied by the instructor and posted in Guangye hall for everyone to observe and study.

Qi Yuan and Fang Chenghe took their belongings to change schools. The new school was on the west side just like them. A young head of the house was already waiting at the door. Seeing the two coming over with books, paper and pens, he quickly stepped forward to help .

Qi Yuan and Fang Chenghe were busy greeting people.

The head of the house, surnamed Zheng, was about 23 years old. He was the vice-president of the Shanghai Science and Technology Examination. He was much more enthusiastic than the head of the Guangyetang before.

Qi Yuan was taken aback when he heard the word "Yangzhou", and looked at the other party in surprise.

Zheng Mian smiled at him, but still turned to look at Fang Chenghe.

Fang Chenghe returned the courtesy and said: "I have heard for a long time that Zheng Zhai is full of poems and books, and he is proficient in poetry. I am ashamed."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and entered the school hand in hand.Qi Yuan followed behind, and when he entered the door, he was a little dumbfounded.Half of the people sitting in the hall are in their thirties, and there are also a few gray-haired old people.The one in the front is very young and good-looking, but it is Qi Yuan's enemy - Ren Yan.

Ren Yan seemed to know the news that they were coming, and turned his body while holding the scroll without raising his head, not wanting to look at them.The others only raised their heads and glanced briefly, and then they were busy endorsing their books.

Fortunately, Zheng Mian was very enthusiastic and took them to the two seats behind Ren Yan, explaining: "The students in this class move a lot, so everyone is not surprised when people come and go. Brother Qi and Brother Fang don't have to. uneasy."

He asked again, "Do you two need to change rooms? The number rooms in the monastery hall are more relaxed. If you want to change to a single room, you can apply to the priest or secretary. There may be vacancies now."

Sitting here, Qi Yuan felt awkward, thinking that if he changed the room number, he would not be able to live with Xu Xuan, and it would be even worse in the future, so he hurriedly said, "I don't need to change. It's fine now."

As soon as the words fell, Ren Yan in front of him looked back at him and snorted coldly.

Qi Yuan: "..."

He had just arrived, and he didn't want to show off, so he just rolled his eyes silently.

Zheng Mian hurriedly smoothed things over: "It's good not to change it, so as not to move it back and forth. Where's Brother Fang?"

Fang Chenghe smiled: "I'm not changing anymore." After a pause, he said, "I, like Brother Qi, have a deep relationship with the original roommate, and I am reluctant to part."

Ren Yan's figure froze for a moment.Only Zheng Mian believed it was true, and smiled from the side: "It seems that Zheng has no chance to share the same room with Brother Fang, which is really a pity."

The atmosphere of the school here is completely different from that of Guangye Hall. Everyone is bowing their heads to read or write. tome.

The learning content of Xiudao Hall is different from that of Guangye Hall. Although it mainly focuses on the Four Books and Five Classics, "Xing Li", "Shuo Yuan" and "Tong Jian", the students here have already mastered the classics, so most of them are studying " laws or scriptures.Not only that, but there are more homework here than in Guangyetang. In addition to reciting Linzi every day like Guangyetang, you also need to do two scriptures and two scriptures every month, four books and two scriptures, imperial edicts, charts, Policy theory and judgment of internal medicine should be sent to Xuezheng on time after completion, and Xuezheng will be reviewed and revised by the instructor.

The more Qi Yuan heard it, the more frightened he became. Thinking about it, the exams seem to be more frequent here, so he went to find Ruan Hong after class.

However, Ruan Hong also sighed anxiously, "The exam questions in the Xiudao Hall are not easy to handle. These are written in advance in the Guangye Hall of the Justice Hall, and the other halls are all written on the spot. Otherwise, why do you think I am relying on Guangye?" Do not leave."

When Qi Yuan heard it, it was like being struck by five thunders.

Ruan Hong sighed again: "But now I'm in trouble too, you're all gone, who am I going to copy from?"

Qi Yuan was taken aback: "Aren't you looking for Big Brother Fang?"

Ordinarily, after Fang Chenghe went to Xiudao Hall, the exam questions were different from those in Guangye Hall. It should be easier for Ruan Hong to write the questions for him. Now he has to write two copies for each exam.

Ruan Hong pursed his mouth: "He said that he is not in the same class anymore, and the fate is over, and I will look at myself in the future."

Qi Yuan: "..."

He remembered that at noon, Fang Chenghe Mingming said that he had a deep relationship with his roommate.

Ruan Hong wanted to cry without tears: "The remaining ones in our class will take a long time to write one. How can I have the spare time to write another one for me?"

Qi Yuan didn't expect that his problem was not resolved, but he was going to comfort Ruan Hong, sighed, and gave him advice: "Brother Fang should not be so heartless, you should talk to him carefully. He said it at noon I have a deep relationship with you, and I am reluctant to change the room number."

Ruan Hong was dubious: "Really?"

"You're a puppy." Qi Yuan said seriously, "Our head of the house really likes Big Brother Fang, and wants to share a room with him and give him a private room, but he doesn't even want to, saying that he is not willing to part with you."

Ruan Hong: "...that must be a lie."

Qi Yuan was a little impatient: "I really didn't lie to you!"

"I said him." Ruan Hong shook his head, "I don't believe him because he has no serious words in his mouth!"

"You don't have a lot of truth in your mouth, do you really think you can scare me?" Ren Yan on the other side also frowned, and snorted coldly, "Brother Fang, don't think that you can protect that Qi Yuan just because you have a bit of talent. If he can't set his mind to study, the prison has prison rules, and he will look good on him."

When Fang Chenghe originally went to Jijiu to ask for leave for him and Qi Yuan, he ran into Ren Yan and reminded him not to always target Qi Yuan in the future, but he didn't expect this person to be quite straightforward.

Fang Chenghe said with a smile: "Brother Ren is polite, but Brother Qi Xian has just arrived, I don't know why he is not at ease to learn? Could it be that Brother Ren thinks he doesn't change rooms?"

Ren Yan sneered: "Doves occupy the magpie's nest, is there any reason for him?"

"The dove occupies the magpie's nest?" Fang Chenghe was taken aback, but then he yelled, "Brother Ren, how can you slander others like this? Brother Qi Xian and Xu Zijing are innocent, why are you talking?"

Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Ren Yan raised his brows upside down, and said angrily, "When did I rely on him?"

"In "The Book of Songs Zhaonan", 'Wei Que has a nest, and Wei Jiu lives in it' is the meaning of a man marrying his wife when he grows up. Qi Xiandi is just a couple with the same name as Xu Zijing, and they are not a married couple. How can you describe it like this?" Fang Chenghe shook his head and sighed, and said with regret, "I never thought that brother Ren would have so many dirty thoughts when looking at a noble and elegant person. It's really a pity, a pity!"

Since Ren Yan didn't intend to let Qi Yuan go, and insisted on finding fault, there was no need for Fang Chenghe to let him go.Now seeing that Ren Yan was blocked by himself, he flung his sleeves and turned to leave.

It's just that there is such a trouble, he must remind Qi Yuan a few more words.

After the two of them had dinner, they went back to the number room together. Fang Chenghe told Qi Yuan what happened during the day, "It's time for you to act like a child prodigy. There is a lot of work in the monastery, and the exams are temporary. No one can help you anymore."

Qi Yuan's head grew bigger for a day, and he said aggrievedly, "Can I go back to Guangyetang?"

"It's hard to get promoted, what are you doing when you go back?" Fang Chenghe glanced at him, "If you want to get out of prison as soon as possible, you have to be promoted to the Zhiqi Hall first. Even if you don't do well in the exams in the Yiqi Hall, as long as you have good attendance, you will be rewarded every day. There are circles, then after a year or so, you can go to record things. If you stay in Guangyetang all the time, at least you have to sit in prison for enough years before you are eligible to go to record things and be appointed as an official."

It turned out that most of the Guozijian students had either sat in prison for enough years and were appointed officials according to the rules.Either want to bibimbap into the willful hall, and rely on attendance or exams to appoint officials in advance.Qi Yuan didn't want to be an official in the past, but now it's like being chased away to the shelf, if he can't get up, he won't get down.

Fang Chenghe saw that he was frowning and worried, and said again: "I have already asked for leave, you go to the teacher's house with me tomorrow."

Qi Yuan raised his head, thinking of Taifu Yang's appearance, he was a little nervous: "I haven't prepared the birthday gift yet!"

"I've prepared it for you." Fang Chenghe glanced at him and said hesitantly, "It's about you falling into the water. You should think about it carefully. Do you want to tell the teacher?"

Qi Yuan knew that he was referring to his amnesia, so he responded and hesitated secretly.

The excuse of amnesia is only known to Fang Chenghe at present, he dare not tell anyone else, of course it is useless to tell.

Then Taifu Yang is just his teacher, although Qi Yuan has heard how important the relationship between teachers and students in the court is, and the relationship with fellow villagers, but he can't be an official, so he doesn't want to get too close to Taifu Yang.

After thinking about it, if it is not particularly necessary, I will not talk about this matter.

Qi Yuan made up his mind, and began to worry about his promotion again.I wanted to tell Xu Yu, but Xu Yu didn't come back that day.Qi Yuan waited until dark and didn't see anyone, so he had to sleep first.

Early the next morning, Fang Chenghe carried two burdens, hired a car, and took Qi Yuan to Taifu Yang's residence.

Yang's Mansion is located in Ruixiang Hutong, with Shuaifu Hutong in the front, Cheng Guogong Hutong in the back, and Marquis Wu'an Hutong in the back. The mansions are all luxurious and spacious, and famous eunuchs and officials gather here. It is a real noble place in Beijing.

Fang Chenghe drove the carriage to the back door of Yang's residence, got off the carriage and knocked on the door lightly, after a while an old man came out and ushered them in.Several people wore flowers and brushed willows all the way, and went straight to Taifu's inner study.

Qi Yuan walked in amazement all the way, Zhongyuanbo's mansion was a five-entry courtyard, he thought it was already very big, but compared with this side, it might not even be a quarter of Taifu's mansion.Obviously Taifu Yang is not as thrifty as other noble literati.

When they got to the inner study, Qi Yuan and Fang Chenghe were still waiting outside, waiting for the book boy in the study to come in to announce, but fortunately, after a while, he heard the summons from inside.

Fang Chenghe was obviously very familiar with the Grand Tutor, after entering the door, he first bowed down, performing the teacher-student salute, Qi Yuan followed suit, and then saw Grand Tutor Yang striding over, and lifted the two of them up with his hands.

"However, if you walk around normally, don't be too polite." Taifu Yang laughed, and then looked at Qi Yuan in amazement, "You hit it off with your senior brother."

Qi Yuan didn't know what the original body was like before, seeing that although the old man had white beard and hair, he was full of energy and his eyes were bright, he didn't dare to look at him, he just crossed his hands and sang, hiding behind Fang Chenghe.

Seeing this, Fang Chenghe turned to block him with a smile, and then said to Mrs. Yang: "Master, the students brought two good things."

How could Yang Taifu fail to see his intention of protection, his eyes moved slightly, and he took a look at the two of them.

Fang Chenghe shook his head and smiled wryly. After Yang Taifu gave a "hum", he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly put the two treasures wrapped in red silk on the table—the strange stone and the inkstone he asked for from Ruan Hong.

Taifu Yang stroked his beard lightly, squinted his eyes slightly after seeing these two things, but asked in a deep voice, "Who got these two things?"

He didn't ask Fang Chenghe where he got it from, but asked who it was, obviously he was sure that Fang Chenghe couldn't get it himself, and he probably used some kind of trick to deceive him from others.

Fang Chenghe didn't dare to lie, he made a bow, and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, these two things are gifts from Ruan Shenzhi, the second son of Ruan Ge."

Taifu Yang slightly raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and then came closer to take a closer look.

Although Qi Yuan was not good at reading, he had seen rare and rare treasures in the Qi Mansion since he was a child, and now when he raised his eyes, he recognized them and let out a soft "Huh".

Taifu Yang turned to look at him, a little surprised: "Does Qi Yuan recognize what this is?"

Qi Yuan glanced at Fang Chenghe first, and seeing the latter nodded secretly, indicating that he was okay, he replied obediently: "There was once a strange stone in the Huashi Gang, which was shaped like a cat's ear. But during the transportation, the cat's ear was knocked off by the craftsman and left elsewhere. This piece...is very similar to that otolith."

In fact, it is not only very similar, but exactly the same.After the cat's ear was knocked off, the strange fragrance of the strange stone disappeared, and the traitor knew that the fragrance was emitted by the cat's otolith.However, those two stones had already been picked up and secretly hidden.

In the former dynasty, the otolith reappeared in the world. One piece was given to Qian Tang, the power minister at that time, and the other piece was left among the people, and finally arrived at the Qi Mansion in Yangzhou.

After Qian Tang's house was ransacked, the cat's otolith disappeared again, but the one in Qi Mansion was always well protected.

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he realized the loophole in his words.

Sure enough, Taifu Yang was even more surprised, and asked him: "How do you know what the cat's otolith looks like?"

Qi Yuan was taken aback, turned his thoughts around a few times, and hurriedly said: "The student once read a book called "The Story of Strange Treasures", which had the general shape of an otolith drawn on it, and it looked somewhat similar to this piece. Senior Brother Zhe Fang must have a source for the gift, so the students boldly guessed that this piece is the legendary otolith."

"No wonder," Taifu Yang nodded with a smile, and then said, "But what you Fang Shixiong gave may not necessarily be anything. When he first came to the capital, he gave the old man a handful of soil, which frightened the old man .”

Fang Chenghe was penniless at that time, and he didn't even have a place to live, but he couldn't leave empty-handed to visit his master.Moreover, the old lady Fu is unruly by nature, and especially loves to play guessing riddles. After thinking for a long time, he simply brought a bowl of soil, and called it "this is the most respected thing of the teacher".

The old matriarch was indeed attracted by the soil, but after thinking hard for a long time, he was not satisfied, and finally jumped up and asked Fang Chenghe: "Are you going to bury me with a handful of loess?"

Fang Chenghe hurriedly said that he dared not, and explained: "Isn't the teacher the favorite Lu Fangweng? Fang Weng once had a poem "This body is the soil of Jishan Mountain". Since I come from Kuaiji, I naturally have to bring the soil of Kuaiji Mountain first superior."

Only then did the old lady understand, and laughed.

Later, Fang Chenghe stayed in Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and the money was given to him by the old master.However, the old lady asked for interest on borrowing money. Fang Cheng and Dong Chi sold the painting at the meeting and paid back the money early.

Qi Yuan didn't know about this before, but after listening to it now, he couldn't help but marvel at Fang Chenghe's tact and intelligence, and also faintly envy their master-student relationship.

After Yang Taifu finished talking and laughing, he turned around and looked at the two of them and nodded, and then asked people to serve tea and watch the table.

Qi Yuan sat down obediently, and after drinking for a while, he suddenly heard Taifu Yang ask: "Qi Yuan, do you have something to hide from me?"

Qi Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and looked over in a daze.

Yang Taifu smiled slightly, and said in a warm voice while pouring water: "I have read all the test papers of your studies in the Imperial College. They all said that the writing is as good as the person, and those two articles are full of vitality, pure in learning, and quite gentlemanly. It is..."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped, looked into Qi Yuan's eyes, and said slowly, "... Xu Zijing's work."

The author has something to say:

Xu Ting: The supporting actor Fang is crazy about adding scenes!Grab my male second role!

ps: These two chapters are foreshadowing, there are more scenes in the later stage

pps: Lu You's "This Body Walks as Jishantu" comes from "Shen Yuan Two Poems".

沈园

The slanting sun on the city draws a corner and mourns, the Shenyuan is not a restored pool platform,

Under the sad bridge, the spring waves were green, and it was once a shocking photo.

The dream has been broken for 40 years, and the willows in the Shenyuan do not blow cotton.

This body walks the mountains and soil, and the traces are still hanging.
