Chapter 111 Test
"Thanks to Shanzhang for being kind enough to see this junior, this junior is very grateful." Su Xin said politely, "I made this painting casually yesterday, just because I wanted to see Shanzhang, so I used this method. If The head of the mountain is angry, and the younger generation will listen to the training with an open mind."
The others are holding the painting because they want to study, but she is not.
Ji Shanchang looks at paintings every day to give others the opportunity to give advice, but she is indeed wasting the opportunity now, so I apologize in advance, that's right.
Ji Shan couldn't get angry even if he wanted to.
"You sit first." Ji Shan said after holding back for a while.
"Thank you, Master Shan." Su Xin looked very cute at this moment.
"A painting is like a person. If this painting is really made by you, then the old man already knows what kind of person you are, so you don't have to pretend to be so cautious. If there is something wrong, it's okay to say it." Ji Shan said very much. said helplessly.
I haven't seen a painting I like so much for many years. I thought I could find a talented student today, but who would have thought it would be a little girl!
Moreover, this little girl doesn't look very old, she is seventeen or eighteen years old, but she has an open-minded and transparent face, and she is neither humble nor overbearing, she doesn't flinch at all, if she is a man, he doesn't need to ask too much , you can take it back to the academy to teach in person.
such a pity! pity!
"Shan Chang is happy, since that's the case, I won't go around the corner." Su Xin immediately said again, "I actually came here for three children. These three people got the opportunity to live in Mingyue Academy because they helped a master of Mingyue Academy. Studying in the academy..."
"You want me to take care of them?" Ji Shanchang frowned slightly.
"No, these three children are my ex-stepchildren. I don't like them very much. These days, their new stepmother deliberately made things difficult for me. I don't want to suffer in vain, so I want to ask you a little bit." People's words." Su Xin grinned, and did bad things openly, "I don't want them to stay in the academy, so naturally I have to find a way. The other party has a master as a backer. If I want to succeed, I have to find someone The more powerful person will come out, and it will naturally be you."
"..." Ji Shanchang rarely met such an outspoken person.
A little angry.
But...
I'm a little... Curious, where does this lack of heart come from? It's a weird thing to be able to draw such a good painting, but to say such...offensive words.
Ji Shan took a sip of water: "Little girl, I have never acted selfishly in my life. Your painting is not bad, but it is not worth being bullied by me." Of course, it is impossible to just because you like a
painting So he went to drive the three children out of the academy.
"I'm willing to come to you. Naturally, I understand what kind of person you are. How can you make such an unreasonable request? I know that you are the head of the mountain, and you must care about the reputation of the academy. I hope that there are people with the five virtues in the academy. , so I just hope that the head of the mountain will test those three people, and if those three people meet your requirements for students, I will never bother you again." Su Xin said with a smile.
"What are the names of the three children you mentioned?" Seeing her calmness, Ji Shanchang was somewhat worried.
In his academy, could it be that some villain really got in there?
"The surname is Gu. They are triplets. Gu Minger, Gu Mingshan, and Gu Mingyu have just entered the academy not long ago. The three of them are very smart and have a very pleasing appearance. I must have seen the master." Su Xin said again. road.
When Ji Shanchang heard this, he was very surprised.
He had actually met these three children.
Not only have I seen it, but I have personally praised it.
There are not many triplets, and even fewer have all three children who can read, so since the three of them entered the academy, they have attracted everyone's attention. He saw that the three children were very clever, and he still thought about waiting for them to have a baby. After a scholar becomes famous, he can be called to give advice.
Immediately, his face became serious: "These three are talented, how could they offend you, so that you will try to ruin their future?" Su
Xin was not surprised to hear Ji Shanchang's words.
"May I ask the head of the mountain, have the three of them had any conflicts with others since they entered school?" Su Xin asked bluntly.
"I heard someone mention that there were two students who looked down on them for their young age, threatened them in private, and even blocked the child and slapped the child. There is no room for people, even the child will not be spared. , such a student, of course, our academy can't keep, so we persuaded him to leave." Ji Shanchang was also very clear about this matter.
The two students also admitted that they were the ones who slapped them.
Su Xin heard the words, but smiled: "But what is the truth, should only the person involved know? Can the head of the mountain create a chance encounter and see with his own eyes what the third son looks like behind him?" Ji Shan didn't want to respond at first
.
But for some reason, seeing the determined look on this little girl's face, she couldn't help feeling a little suspicious.
He knew that if he didn't get rid of this doubt for a lifetime, he might be biased in his actions in the future.
Therefore, he said: "You can give it a try, but it is inevitable that you have friendship with those two students who were persuaded to quit, so I will arrange this matter myself. If the three of them have passed the few tests arranged by the old man, little girl, you should go Apologize to them."
"Okay." Su Xin answered simply, "I can't tell anyone about this."
Ji Shanchang nodded.
Su Xin looked at her cinnabar talisman, and took it back in no hurry: "The head of the mountain has been carrying this talisman these few days. It's a guarantee of luck. It's made of cinnabar stone. If you always have doubts, just ask someone to test it." Let me tell you, I begged the head of the mountain for today's matter, so I gave you this amulet, I hope you don't dislike it."
Elder Ji Shan's face twitched slightly.
This little girl looks weirder the more she looks at it!
"This painting..." Ji Shanchang wanted it.
"I'll give it to you too. The so-called lack of manpower, you always take my things, so I'm more pleasing to the eye." Su Xin grinned.
As soon as he said this, Ji Shan paid for his money.
Take it for nothing? It doesn't exist, he has accumulated a lot of money in his age, and can he still owe others money? Although this little girl is weird and doesn't look like a normal person, but this painting is good, he won't make trouble with it.
Immediately, the old mountain chief took out fifty taels of silver directly: "The painting is good, but you have no reputation, so the price is not low." "You are always
flattering me." Su Xin said this sincerely , she paused, and then said: "But since you bought this painting, then I can't let you suffer forever, just keep this painting, and within a year, it will be far better than what it is today. It’s worth it.”
For someone as unknown as her, the price of her paintings will be lowered, and ten or twenty taels is considered high.
But now her paintings are worthless, and it will be hard to say in the future.
It was rare for Ji Shan to see such an arrogant person.
However, he knew that this painting was indeed underestimated.
Ji Shanchang is also a person who loves talents. After thinking about it, he still said: "If you... can hide your gender and pretend to be a man to sell your paintings, you will definitely be famous in Yuyang City in a short time."
Chapter 112 The Competition in Qingyang Building 1
The reason Ji Shanchang said this was not because he looked down on the little girl in front of him.
At his age, he has seen so many talented people like crucian carp crossing the river. Compared with the difference between men and women, he prefers such a unique junior.
However, the world is like this, and it is almost impossible for a woman to exhibit a painting and get a fair and honest review.
Seeing that the little girl was dressed in plain green clothes and did not wear any fancy hairpins on her head, she must have an average family background. If she painted for money, it would not be a big deal to hide her gender.
However Su Xin heard the words, but smiled: "The younger generation was born into a girl's family, there is nothing shameful, there are indeed many prejudiced people in this world, and their thoughts are not right, why should I wrong myself for those people, Hiding your head and showing your tail? Thank you for your concern, this junior is very kind."
She straightened her back and had her own strength of character.
This world is indeed difficult, women will always be pointed at by others when they show up in public, and she has memorized the law backwards, so she knows that many provisions in it have different requirements for men and women.
She is just an ordinary village woman and cannot change the world, but she still has the ability to live a comfortable life.
Ji Shanchang sighed slightly.
It was because he liked this painting that he was willing to have a few more words with the little girl, and even agreed to test the request of the triplets, but this little girl is really like this painting, looking harmonious in the picture, but in fact she is a tough one.
However, he still inexplicably felt that it was very rare. He was really old and soft-hearted.
"It's up to you." Ji Shanchang sighed and said, after finishing speaking, he said: "You may feel that the old man is unfair. When the test is about to be tested, I will send someone to let you know. When the time comes, you and the old man will watch together." Look."
The triplets are smart and sensible, can they be as annoying as this girl said?
Certainly not.
After finishing speaking, Ji Shan took a sip of tea, then got up and left.
The old man often strolls around and doesn't like to be disturbed. Everyone around the academy knows it, so no one came forward to disturb him after such a long time. Others don't know what Su Xin said to the old mountain chief. Seeing Su Xin dressed up, Everyone only thought that she was a family member of a certain master or student of Mingyue Academy, and didn't take it to heart.
Su Xin waited peacefully in the county seat, if she wanted to harm someone, she had to be patient.
Within two days, the system's voice sounded again: "Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the special task: exorcising evil spirits and finding the source of evil energy. Reward: spell blessing 3, luck 10." Now the system doesn't need to say more, Su Xin probably knows the function of the
reward What is it, the type is generally distributed according to the type of task.
"Does the master like this reward? Just like the cinnabar stone charm just now, if it is blessed by the system, its effect can at least be doubled." The system said proudly.
Now, you should know that the system is still quite useful, right?
"I like it." Su Xin said with a smile.
More powerful spells? It's not that she can't do it, it just takes more time. This reward is not as good as "Pork Processing Technology".
It's just fooling the system, as long as she dares to say it and believes it, the rest is not important.
"Ding, the system triggers a life task: make Yuyang City famous." The system issued successively.
The pen in Su Xin's hand paused for a moment, then dropped down again seemingly unintentionally.
She needs to step up her pace of making money, it's still too slow to rely on the Song family to sell those sauced meats.
Su Xin looked at the things in the pen, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Another morning, the waiter downstairs came up and said that Ji Shanzhang had invited him, and Suxin knew that the old man had already arranged everything, so he immediately picked up the things he had drawn, checked out the room, and went to Shanzhang's place. said place.
Qingyang Tower.
Qingyang Tower is a scenic spot in Yuyang City. It is mostly occupied by literati and inkmen on weekdays. The surrounding scenery is elegant. Several streets surround a seven-story building. There are also many vendors in the streets, but they all sell elegant things. .
Desserts and drinks, all kinds of color, aroma, and costumes, the place is not too big, but there are countless beautiful things.
Everyone around can come, but not everyone can go to Qingyang Tower.
The higher the floor, the better the scenery. There are fences around each floor. Standing on the fence, you can have a panoramic view of the surrounding streets and scenery. At this time, Su Xin was invited by Ji Shanzhang to the height of the fourth floor.
"The seventh floor is too far away. I'm afraid you can't see it clearly. This place is just right. In the entire academy, no one knows that the old man is here today. Besides, you and I sit here with our hats hidden, and the people below can't see it." In order to prevent you from saying that the old man is unfair, the old man even wore a piece of clothes that he hadn't worn before today, and the three boys couldn't recognize it even if they looked up." Ji Shanchang said.
"The junior believes in the head of the mountain." Su Xin was very straightforward.
I just don't know what the test arranged by the head of the mountain will be like.
"Today, the old man specially asked Master Cui to choose a few people from poor families among the students to come here to play, and set up some competitions. The winners will get five hundred taels of silver. In addition, the old man also arranged some people to make trouble. Take a look. Their reaction." The head of the mountain said again.
Su Xin was very surprised: "I didn't expect the head of the mountain to spend so much money."
Five hundred taels, this move is really generous.
"There used to be this kind of competition in the academy, but this time it was brought forward. It is not easy for these poor students to study. In order to reduce the pressure of studying, they will naturally work hard. Among these people, the three The child is the youngest and has the lowest chance of winning," said the head of the mountain.
Su Xin smiled, but said nothing.
In her opinion, if Chief Ji Shan didn't set up obstacles and followed his previous requirements, he would be sending money to Sanwa.
But just watch it slowly.
At this time, ten people gathered by the river in Qingyang Tower, surrounded by flowers, grass and trees for shade, and snacks were provided, which was very pleasant.
The triplets were sitting upright, but they looked like adults at such a young age. They looked around seriously. They knew that today's reward was five hundred taels of silver, and they already knew in their hearts that they must get it.
Others think they are small, but the three brothers are united, and they will definitely be stronger than these people who fight alone.
Master Cui liked these three children very much, so he took care of them even more. At this time, he was also in charge of this competition.
"The first competition is to find objects. Each of you puts the same puzzle in the basket in front of you. After you solve it, find the object. The top three people who come back will enter the next round. By the way, read The three of you are young, so the three of you are counted as one, if any one of the three wins the top three, then the other two can enter the next competition together." Cui Master said.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
Although the others were a little bit dissatisfied, they all nodded their heads in agreement, considering that the triplets were all teenagers after all, and it was not easy to argue with them.
Master Cui rang the gong, and then several people unfolded the puzzle paper at the same time.
I saw four words written on it: "Xiang Li stopped the car".
Chapter 113 The Competition in Qingyang Building 2
At the same time, Master Ji Shan also placed the riddle in front of Su Xin with great interest.
Seeing these four words, Su Xin smiled: "It's a good question. Most of them should know this riddle. It's just that it's hard to find things at this time of year.
" When Confucius was traveling in the country of Yan, he met a young man named Xiang Lu who stopped his carriage to ask for advice. Xiang Lu asked him four questions: what kind of water has no fish, what kind of fire has no smoke, what kind of tree has no leaves, and what kind of flowers have no branches.
"Do you know the answer?" Ji Shanchang was very curious.
This woman can paint, but she may not have read many books.
"There is no fish in the well water, no smoke from fireflies, no leaves on dead trees, no branches on snowflakes." Su Xin said.
Ji Shanchang was a little surprised.
Now he wants to know the origin of this little girl even more. She doesn't seem to come from an ordinary family at her age and bearing, but her clothes really... don't show her wealth.
Moreover, he specially made some very delicate desserts. If it was a little girl from a rich family, she would not be too surprised to see these desserts, and she would not eat a few more mouthfuls for the sake of etiquette, but this little girl did not hide her dislike I like this dessert, and I enjoyed it very much.
Said she had never seen the world, she did.
But when she was eating, there was no vulgarity in her gestures, on the contrary, she was very elegant.
How strange.
He even had some doubts, whether this little girl came from a poor family.
Ji Shanchang decided to hold back and ask again, and the two continued to stare at the situation not far away.
At this time, after the students got the topic, some people responded very quickly. Dang even walked away from the river, but the triplets were stunned. Class knowledge, so they know nothing.
"Second Brother, what is this talking about? Xiang, what is this Xiang?" Gu Mingshan was at a loss.
Gu Mingyou frowned slightly, and then said in a low voice: "Don't say too much, we will go wherever those people go, if we can't find out by asking questions, just think of other ways." As he spoke, he didn't
hesitate The problem is solved, immediately follow behind the first person who rushes out, for fear of losing track.
Although they are children, they still follow Gu Jinting to practice martial arts, so they walk fairly fast, but they are a bit strenuous. Looking at this scene, Ji Shanchang just smiled and said: "After all, these three people are still young, so they have to find a way to solve it. It's a difficult problem, it's not wrong to follow others."
"You're right." Su Xin didn't deny it.
The three of them followed closely, and the student also found them, and was immediately a little displeased: "You go looking for it yourself, what are you doing with me?
" Big brother is so powerful, so I want to ask you for advice..." Gu Mingtong immediately put on a pitiful look.
Fang Ting watched them idle, feeling a little helpless for a moment.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but felt that the matter was about five hundred taels of silver, so he stopped.
His family was poor, if he missed the reward because of soft heart, it would be tantamount to making his own mother and wife work harder to earn money for him... So he gritted his teeth and said:
"I can't tell you, you... You go ask others, if you follow me again, I will tell my master when I go back." When
the three of them heard this, their expressions were also not good-looking.
Gu Mingshan is the best at concealing his emotions, and immediately snorted when he heard this: "What's so great...there are so many people here, if you don't tell us, others will say..." "Third brother is right, second
brother, The master didn't say you can't ask passing scholars? This is Qingyang Building, there are many scholars, they must know." Gu Mingyu said quickly.
After saying this, the triplets didn't stay anymore, and all three of them gave Fang Tingxian a glance before turning around and running away.
Fang Tingxian is also very helpless, he just wants to buy more time for himself, is it wrong?
These three... are still children after all, and they are quite angry.
He didn't take it to heart either.
The triplets immediately ran to the side of the street, where many scholars would listen to operas. When they saw those scholars in long robes, they immediately put on a cute look and asked their own questions. Sure enough, After a while, I knew the answer.
This question is not difficult at all, but it is rare to find fireflies and snowflakes.
"I just asked someone about it. There is a well on the other side of the street. I will borrow a water bag from someone..." Gu Mingshan said quickly.
However, Gu Mingyou directly grabbed him, thought for a while, and said, "It's really troublesome to run over there and come back, we... we just go to these people's houses to borrow water, and the water for their homes should also be drawn from the well. It’s not wrong to come up.”
Gu Mingzhen also nodded.
But I also know in my heart that this place is closer to the canal. Unless I have a well, it is more convenient to go to the canal for water.
But who knows? They just need to be careful not to be seen by others.
The three of them saw a passer-by and saw that the other party had a water bag, so they bought it directly. They were away from home, and Gu Jinting was worried that they would suffer, so he gave them money to buy a water bag, which was easy.
It just so happened that the water bag contained water, so I didn't even need to borrow water.
"I've used this water bag before, and the water in it was taken from the river. If you think it's dirty, you should wash it if you want to use it."
"Okay, I got it." Gu Mingyou smiled sweetly, and didn't refute or say much.
The other party took a few copper coins and left quickly.
Seeing this scene, Su Xin said with a smile: "This man has been staying near the three children since just now. It must have been arranged by the head of the mountain, right? Not only him, there are three or five people around, all hanging around their waists. With a water bag, how can there be such a coincidence?"
It's not that this place is extremely short of water, and it's only a quarter of an hour's walk to the street.
Ji Shanchang nodded: "You are quite smart, girl."
"They just bought water bags for use, and they should replace the water in them." Ji Shanchang said.
Su Xin smiled, leaned back slightly, and stared at the triplets. She was sure that these three would not disappoint him.
At this time, Gu Mingyou tied the water bag around his waist, and had no intention of pouring out the water inside, "Where do you go to find fireflies? It's not dark now, if you go to the forest to catch them, what if you catch them by mistake? There are also snowflakes, the weather is so hot, even if you find snowflakes, they will melt away."
As for the dead branches, it is much simpler.
The three asked someone to ask a question just now, but now they also know that it is difficult to win on their own, so after pondering for a while, they asked someone for help again.
Their looks are very pleasing, and a few scholars who are talking about poetry and songs don't find them annoying when they see them.
"These two things are not difficult to find. Not far away, there are many fireflies in the middle and backyard of Yuhuafang. On the night of the fifteenth of each month, they will be placed in the gauze for lighting, which is quite artistic."
Chapter 114 Competition, Brothers Unite?
In the Yuhuafang, there are all dancers and singers, mainly performing arts, and they will only sell themselves when they meet scholars they can admire.
Doing business here is nothing more than the fact that most of the customers here are more elegant and can't do those vulgar things.
"As for Snowflakes...it's easier to understand. There is a restaurant in front of you that sells a kind of wine called Snowflakes. From a distance, it looks like a snow dumpling, and it is eaten frozen, sweet and smoky, but... the price is not low, a pot of wine costs five taels of silver, and a piece of ice cream costs a hundred coins , and sold out early in the morning every day, this time is long gone, and we have to wait until tomorrow." After
saying this, the faces of the three children became a bit serious.
Five taels of silver? !
Before going out, Dad gave them five taels each, which was a month's fee.
They are quite economical in spending, but in the academy, most of what others use are good things, and they have to buy some things, so now the three of them add up and only have six or seven taels left.
If all of it was used to buy wine, then the remaining money would not be enough to spend!
And the first level will cost so much money, after that? Who knows if the money will be spent in vain?
It would be even worse if the snowflake cake had to be bought tomorrow.
tomorrow? The competition is over!
The three of them showed embarrassment.
Ji Shanchang kept staring at the water bag on Gu Mingyou's waist, waiting for him to pour the water out, who knew that he couldn't wait, and he was a little anxious for a while.
From his point of view, he naturally didn't want these three children to be so scheming. He would rather be misunderstood by this little girl than hope that there are many such dishonest people in the world.
Ji Shanchang's expression was obviously much more dignified than before, and the tea in his hand was cold.
Gu Mingyou and the others went for a walk around the wine shop, and asked about Snowflake Wine. They also took out some copper coins and wanted to buy a little bit, but how could the shopkeeper be willing.
This wine is sold so expensive, one is because of Xuehua’s gimmick, and the other is the low production volume, if you sell a little wine to others today, then someone will hold less copper coins and want to taste it in the future. Give?
The three of them argued with the shopkeeper for a long time, but none of them let up.
After a while, seeing other students coming for the competition, he stopped talking for fear of losing face.
"Do you still want to drink at such a young age? Instead of begging me, you might as well go to the old alcoholic under the locust tree. That person doesn't drink anything but snowflake wine, and he buys a pot every day!" The shopkeeper suddenly sarcastically said.
When the three of them heard this, their eyes lit up.
Old drunkard?
They run away.
Chief Ji Shan told Su Xin the shopkeeper's original words, but Su Xin was a little speechless after hearing this.
It really is mature, even the lines are prepared in advance!
"For other students, there are other hints, and they can find this drink... It just depends on how they choose it, and also to see if they can use their brains. Listening to the wind and the rain is not good." Ji Shanchang added.
You have to drink a pot of wine that costs five taels of silver every day, and you have to stay under the locust tree to drink it. Anyone who can think more should know that this is arranged in advance, and even if you look for it, you will respect it. Beg, satisfy the other party's request in exchange for a little drink to complete the task.
In addition to the old drunkard, he also arranged other roles.
For example, when a woman’s husband returns from another place, he wants to entertain his husband with snowflake wine, and some are prepared at home; another example is that a hunter is injured and needs to use this wine to anesthetize; another example is that an old man is dying, and he wants to take a sip before he dies, anyway. ...for every student, there are different sayings.
Moreover, in addition to wine, people with ice cream were also arranged to hang around in front of the students.
Make up all the coincidences, embarrass and "help" them.
It depends on whether they can bear their temper and morality, and get rewarded in the most correct way.
"There are pits you have dug all the time, so why use the second level? They won't be able to pass this level alone." Su Xin couldn't help laughing.
Ji Shanchang was very helpless.
He is very confident in his students!
Of course, we need to arrange a few more levels, so that this little girl will be convinced!
Who knew that they would not want to run for an extra quarter of an hour to fetch water from the well! And even if you don’t go to the well on the street, just go to the houses on the side of the road and ask, can you borrow a well from the head office?
Ji Shanchang was very depressed.
Fortunately, this matter...for the time being, it can only be said to be opportunistic, and it is not malicious enough to drive people out of the academy.
I hope these three boys... will be more restrained in the future.
However, the facts let him down.
The triplets really came under the big locust tree, only to see an old alcoholic leaning against the tree reeking of alcohol, disheveled, talking wildly and reciting poems.
"Hey, can you lend us some of your wine?" Gu Mingyou stepped forward and asked, looking polite.
The old drunkard didn't even raise his head: "Go away! Don't disturb me! If you want wine, then climb up the tree and pick off my shoes! My shoes flew up!" The other
party was not polite at all.
The three of them raised their heads and only looked at the tree several feet high, with a dirty shoe hanging on it.
I don't know how it got there.
Looking at the shoe on the other's other foot, there was a faint smell, and it seemed to be stained with vomit, which was extremely disgusting.
"Second brother, he's drunk and has no energy." Gu Mingcheng said in a low voice.
The other two understood, looked left and right, there was no one around, gritted their teeth, and the three rushed forward, two of them pressed each other's shoulders and hands, and the remaining one snatched it from the drunkard's hand. flagon.
"Go!" Gu Mingyou shouted hastily.
As soon as the smoke is gone, the people are gone.
"..." Ji Shan's face turned blue.
"Hahahaha..." Su Xin laughed wildly, "Sure enough, they are 'good' kids, they are quick to do things, brothers work together, even a grown man can be restrained, amazing! Awesome!" "..." Ji
Shan The elder's face really couldn't bear it anymore, Wei Wei still had some resentment, her chest was even congested, and she couldn't help but began to sigh.
Bored and uncomfortable, I took a sip of cold tea for myself.
Fortunately, this last firefly is not bad.
The three of them flattered the proprietress of the Jade Flower Pavilion for a while, and the proprietress asked them to help attract customers, and they obediently complied this time.
They were young, and they said a few nice words to the passing guests, successfully attracted a few guests, and got three fireflies.
It's not good for scholars when it's just soliciting customers.
After all, Yuhua Pavilion is a brothel, even if it is very elegant, but after some people go in, if they can talk romantically, they will naturally have some sex, but compared with those brothels outside, it is just a layer of "affection". , with no other difference.
Hualou.
Soliciting customers for Hualou is not very nice.
Looking at the other students, there were two soliciting customers, and the rest went to the woods to find bugs.
Ji Shanchang looked at the triplets, and the more he looked at them, the worse he felt.
Fortunately, they ran back, and the dazzling scene could finally stop for a while.
However, Ji Shanchang breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment, he saw Gu Mingshan rushing towards Fang Tingxian from behind——
Chapter 115 Give Another Chance
That Fang Ting was only walking alone, with a bamboo tube hanging from his waist, filled with some well water, carefully holding the wine jug in one hand, and a small jar filled with fireflies in the other, and a large dead branch was carried behind him. , the whole body looks stiff and awkward.
Suddenly being hit by Gu Mingshan, his body lost his balance in an instant, and the jug and jar in his hand fell to the ground!
The wine was spilled cleanly, and the fireflies in the jar flew out immediately.
Fang Tingxian was completely bewildered, he immediately wanted to catch bugs, and wanted to hold up the wine, but he couldn't do anything well, and he just watched helplessly what he finally got—it was gone
!
"You, why did you bump into me!?" Fang Tingxian's voice trembled a little, and his voice became a little higher: "Why! Such a wide road, why did you bump into me alone!?" The wine is helping the shopkeeper
move In exchange for things! This firefly was caught by him in the woods!
Fang Tingxian's eyes were red, and he was extremely angry.
"I didn't do it on purpose, who blocked my way!" Seeing that the other party was so angry, Gu Mingshan was a little flustered, but he still raised his head and said, "I just touched you lightly with such a small body. That's all, who knew you were so useless, you can't even grab a little thing!" "
You! You are such a mess! You are unreasonable! I am walking well..." Fang Tingxian was so angry that he said Halfway through, when he saw that Gu Mingyou was also carrying all his belongings behind him, he instantly understood, "You...you are using such indecent methods! After all, you are also scholars, so how can you be so shameless!" Just because he walked a few steps
ahead !
Fang Tingxian had never hated children so much before, seeing them faintly proud, he felt as if his heart was on fire, and wished he could slap him!
However, the anger came to his mind, but he quickly suppressed it.
He can't do it.
These three children are very popular in the academy. They are as old as many students' children, so they are well taken care of. Even Master Cui treats them differently and is very gentle. A few days ago, there were two students If you beat them, you will be kicked out of the academy immediately!
It was with great difficulty that he was admitted by the academy based on his talents and articles, so he could come in to study. If he was kicked out because of a moment of anger, then his life would be over.
Even if he lost the competition now...
Fang Tingxian clenched his fists, picked up the broken jars and jugs with his hands, and wrapped them in the handkerchief in his arms.
Seeing that he didn't dare to resist, the three of them were even more proud, and walked past him with their heads held high.
"Second brother, what if he and his master sue?" Gu Mingcheng asked.
Gu Minger thought for a while: "We didn't break the rules of the competition. If we found something, it would be enough if we could arrive early, and the big deal is that the third one just needs to apologize. If it doesn't work, the third one will be eliminated. I will continue with you." In the next round, is it possible to punish all three of us?"
As long as you can enter the next level, a moderate loss can be tolerated.
Moreover, it is enough to insist that it is careless, right?
The three of them didn't feel any guilt in their hearts. Father said that they must not be bullied when they go out, and they must not be an idiot like Song Shuanzi!
After dumping Fang Tingxian, they soon came to Master Cui's side.
At this time, Su Xin looked at Ji Shanchang, and said with a smile: "Shanchang, do you think it is necessary for them to continue the competition?"
Ji Shanchang's old face is about to be lost!
Looking at the triplets, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Not all the students in our academy are so ignorant. Look at the student who was broken, he was very patient and principled..." Those who didn't know thought they
were Everyone in the academy is like the triplets!
"Mingyue Academy has always only recruited students with a reputation as a scholar. These triplets are not even children now, so naturally they can't afford the title of academy students. Shan Zhang, what do you think is right?" Su Xin asked again.
Ji Shan let out a long sigh.
"It's also the old man's negligence. I didn't expect these three children to be so cruel at such a young age... If such children are not strictly disciplined, if they enter the officialdom in the future, I don't know how many people will be killed... But the old man can If you drive people out of the academy, you can't do anything to prevent them from studying, they are very talented, as long as they are willing to learn, sooner or later they will rise to the top." Ji Shanchang was a little worried.
Looking at the handling style of these three children just now, I am afraid that the same thing has been done more than once or twice.
Thinking about the other two students who were expelled from the academy before, the head of the mountain suddenly felt that there might be something hidden in this, and he needed to investigate.
"The head of the mountain is right. It's not easy to scream and kill people to kill people, but keeping them is a disaster after all. We need to find ways to make them calm down." Su Xin pondered.
killed? It's not easy to do things that violate the law. The health is too unlucky, and doing bad things is easy to be discovered.
"..." Chief Ji Shan just sighed, but he didn't expect this little girl to be quite cruel.
"I think I should mention it to their parents. If it can be corrected..." Ji Shanchang said halfway, but he saw Su Xin grinning, and the light in his eyes instantly made him appear Feeling bad, she immediately asked: "Could it be...their parents..."
Su Xin took a sip of water, smiled and said nothing.
Ji Shanchang's heart became more and more uneasy, after all, if one child is like this, it's all right, and all three of them are like this, I'm afraid it's the parents' inaction!
It's just that he is no longer a student of his academy, how can he, the head of the mountain, take care of him?
"Come on, let's go down and have a look." Chief Ji Shan didn't want to wait for the second round of competition, he was really upset.
Su Xin got up and went down with the old mountain chief.
The triplets were the second to arrive. Looking at the first place, I felt uncomfortable in my heart, but fortunately, being in the top three is already very good.
It's just that now we have to wait for other people to arrive, so we can only eat something honestly first, and the time for the competition has been agreed in advance, so it didn't take long before the big guys came back.
The top three people were all beaming, but the rest of them inevitably looked a little more lonely.
"Today's first round of competition, first place is Zhao Changmin, second is Gu Minger, and third is Feng Kui. You can enter the second round of competition..." Master Cui looked at the three children with satisfaction, sincerely happy for them.
Although he is young, he is calm and capable, no worse than those older students.
"Master, I was walking ahead of the three children and gathered all my things, but I was knocked over by them. I wonder if Master...can you give the students another chance..." Fang Tingxian was a little nervous. He knew that Master Cui always loved him. I'm afraid these children will not be able to do what he wants.
Sure enough, Master Cui frowned when he heard this: "They crashed it? Fang Tingxian, you should know that today's competition is very important. If that's the case, why didn't you protect your things carefully? If everyone breaks things If you ask for a chance, is this old man going to give it to you?"
Chapter 116 Do You Know Why?
Master Cui looked serious and was very unhappy.
In his opinion, it is not easy for the triplets to be ranked second at such a young age, and the reason why Fang Tingxian blamed them is that they are young, easy to control and easy to bully. Fang Tingxian's face turned pale: " Master, they really
bumped into them on purpose... How can I hide from this innocent disaster?"
I was holding a lot of things, and there was a big rock under my feet, and I was about to trip. I was startled, and I rushed up to stop him, but I was too weak, so I didn't hold him, which caused him to fall. I fell..." Gu Mingshan immediately stood up and said in a low and pitiful voice.
Gu Mingyou also lowered his head slightly: "If, if Brother Fang is angry in his heart, then, then we... Let's give up and give up the title to Brother Fang. We can't, we can't hurt our peace because of money..."
Gu There was also a dejected expression on Ming Cheng's face.
The appearance of the three children is really distressing.
Immediately, the others became a little dissatisfied with Fang Tingxian's attitude. There are other losers in this competition. Although the loss is huge, everyone can accept it. Why can't you Fang Tingxian accept it? !
Yes, Fang Tingxian's family is very poor, his wife and old lady have to wash clothes for people every day in order to make money, and even he himself spends a lot of time every day on painting, copying books and selling money... But
that You can't lose your strength for money, can you?
"Fang Tingxian! This old man is really disappointed in you. The three of their children are more sensible than you. Don't you feel ashamed that you made a mistake and failed to keep things and blamed your children?" Master Cui said displeased. Looking at him, "Okay, since you have already lost the competition, you should prepare to go back early, and you don't want to participate in such competitions in the future!" "
Master——" Fang Tingxian looked at the other party in shock.
He wants to obtain fame earlier, so he has to make every effort to study every moment, so there is not much time to make money!
The competition held by the academy is as important to him as the rain falling on the dry land, but it is a pity that the number of places is too small, and he cannot be drawn every time. This time he finally got the opportunity, but he will lose it forever?
It would be fine if it was really his fault, but he was framed!
"Wait." Chief Ji Shan came just in time.
As soon as the voice sounded, Master Cui was also stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Master Shan, why are you here?"
The triplets didn't think much about it at first, but when they looked at Mr. Ji Shan, But when he saw Su Xin who was smiling but not smiling beside Shan Zhang, his expression changed immediately: "Why are you here?"
Gu Mingyou couldn't hold back, and exclaimed directly.
"You'll know later." Su Xin said with a smile.
Do not leave a name after the victim? nonexistent.
After she finally took the initiative to harm someone once, she had to let the other person know that she had done a good job!
The three felt a little uneasy.
"Old Cui, you have been kept in the dark about this matter." Ji Shanchang patted Master Cui on the shoulder, looked at the old guy with some sympathy, but did not say anything to criticize him. After all, before this, even he The head of the mountain also likes the triplets, and if the triplets want to flatter, Lao Cui will inevitably feel that the children are sensible and biased.
Master Cui was a little confused, and there were a few wrinkles on the old man's face: "Shan Zhang, what do you mean?"
Ji Shanzhang walked over, looked at the triplets, and said: "The old man announced that this first competition will be held by Gu The three of you were dismissed, and the next one was added, Fang Tingxian was framed innocently, and the master of the academy provided ten pieces of paper and two sets of pens and inks as compensation." Director Ji Shan didn't allow
Fang Tingxian to enter the next round.
After all, this is not fair to other students.
"Thank you, Shanzhang Mingcha!" Fang Tingxian knelt down directly, and performed a student salute, full of gratitude.
He didn't know why the head of the mountain suddenly appeared and made such a decision, but at this moment, only the head of the mountain solved the grievance in his heart.
"Why!?" Gu Mingshan yelled directly, "Shan Zhang, it's not fair, we obviously won the second place, why should we be expelled for no reason? Does Shan Zhang think that we really broke his things on purpose? ? Why does Shanchang believe him or not us?!"
"Shanchang, what did these three children do wrong?" Cui Fuzi was also very puzzled, and asked quickly.
"Dare to ask the head of the mountain, did this woman say something to you?" Gu Mingcheng had a premonition that Su Xin must have done something, which made the head of the mountain misunderstand them!
"She was originally my father's housekeeper, but she was divorced by my father because she didn't care about her family and abused us. How could the head of the mountain listen to her? You are still the head of the mountain, and you are obviously bullying!" Gu Mingshan grinned. just started crying.
Ji Shanchang only felt a headache.
A child who is more than ten years old, not three or five years old, is really noisy when crying.
"Shut up." Su Xin glanced at the three of them coldly, "Did you owe me a beating again?"
All three of them were beaten by Su Xin before, and they were forced to work by her earlier, although it has been a long time, But thinking about it now, she was still a little scared, so when she opened her mouth at this moment, Gu Mingshan's crying stopped abruptly.
Ji Shanchang then said: "Just now, I have been in the Qingyang Tower, and I have seen your every move, not only that..." "The test
questions of this competition, and most of the pedestrians you met , It’s all explained in advance by the old man.” Ji Shanchang said, and then looked at the three people, “Now, you should know why?” After
saying this, the three people’s eyes showed panic.
"We...but we finished it..." Gu Mingyou felt aggrieved, "So what if you used some bad methods? The rules don't say that you can't do that..." "Don't repent when things come to an end! Dead wood can't be
carved Yes!" Ji Shanchang was also angry, "Open the water bag and see!"
Gu Mingyou felt as if he had been struck by lightning in his head. He touched the water bag with his small hands, trembling a little, and finally opened the water bag.
All the water in it poured out.
However, as the water flowed out, a fish that was so small that it was almost hard to find also fell to the ground.
"Since the answer is that there is no fish in the well water, where did your fish come from? The pedestrian told you that the water was taken from the river, so why didn't you change the well water? Since you are just trying to get lucky, now that the incident happened, No wonder others!" Ji Shanchang's eyes were cold and serious.
Seeing his attitude, Master Cui knew that there might be many things he didn't know.
He personally brought these three children to the academy, and he has been teaching them carefully recently. Now that something happened, he also wants to know more clearly...
Ji Shanchang understood Master Cui's personality, and immediately explained the reason.
From the three people filling the well with river water to the time when they snatched the jug from the drunkard, they told everything.
Master Cui was struck by lightning after listening.
Chapter 117 Cutting off Qingyun Road
The triplets didn't expect that Ji Shanchang knew such details, and now there is no one around to make decisions for them, and the three of them are also afraid.
"Master... We know we are wrong, please don't be angry..." Gu Mingyou quickly showed weakness, and then knelt on the ground: "Grandpa Shanchang, it's all my fault, I will never do this again... "
The other students were also shocked at the moment.
All along, they thought that the triplets were quite polite and sensible, but they didn't expect that they would be such people behind their backs!
Is it too scary at such a young age? !
"The three of you didn't meet the admission requirements of Mingyue Academy, and now you've made a big mistake again. Forgive me, this academy is too small to accommodate you. After you go back, pack up your things and go home!" Director Ji Shan firmly said. Said.
Looking at the appearance of the three of them, one can't help but feel soft-hearted, but a student who behaves so badly cannot be kept.
"Master, we know we are wrong! Please, don't drive us away!" Gu Mingyou's eyes were red, "If we go home, we will be laughed at by others. There is a queen in our family who doesn't like us." Mother, she will definitely not let us study, it will be ruined for the rest of my life, Master Shan, please forgive us once..."
All three of them knelt on the ground and cried.
Su Xin heard the words and smiled: "That's not right. Your sister Yan watched you grow up and likes you very much. Don't lie to others at this time." "..."
Gu Ming Er stared at her angrily, "It's all about you!? You framed us!"
"You child..." Ji Shanchang was speechless, they did all those things by themselves!
"Yes, it's me!" Su Xin grinned, quite proudly, "Do you want to know why I did this?"
They gritted their teeth, wishing to peel Su Xin and cramp.
"When you come to the academy, it doesn't matter to me. Originally, I could ignore you and let you study hard, but your sister Yan won't let me go? She actually tripped me up behind my back. People make trouble for me, isn't it impossible for me to punish her? Naturally, I want to take my anger out on you, of course, it's because of your hard work that you didn't let me down!" Su Xin said happily.
Seeing her like this, everyone around was stunned.
Several students couldn't even believe that they, Master Ji Shan, would meet such a person?
What's up with being kinda bad?
But triplets are not good either.
That is fighting poison with fire?
Fang Tingxian stared at Su Xin with dull eyes, at this moment, the emotion of admiration was as intense as a flash flood, and he wished he could go home and tell his mother and wife that there would be such a pleasing villain in this world!
Look at the children who are angry! I can't even cry!
"But don't be angry with Yan Qingnian, she is also pitiful, her parents don't want her anymore, and there are only your relatives around, I sincerely hope you are well, and I didn't expect that I would come to the academy to get you out. "Su Xin is like a weasel being greeted by a chicken for the New Year. She seems to be earnest, but in fact, every word she says makes the fire in the three people's hearts a little bit stronger.
"I, I will fight with you!" Gu Mingshan rushed up and wanted to grab Su Xin's arm, and opened his mouth to bite it down.
"Slap!" Su Xin slapped him, knocking him down to the ground.
Ji Shanchang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly wanted to stop him.
But Su Xin sneered: "Master Ji Shan, the snowflake wine is a pot of five taels of silver, and the three of them committed robbery, should they report to the official for punishment?" Master Cui's heart tightened, and he looked at Su Xin in disbelief
: "That, that was arranged by our academy after all..."
"This is wrong. Although it was a competition, they committed crimes without knowing the inside information. What's the difference between their actions and crimes?! Besides, you students can't afford the wine, why didn't others snatch it? Everyone else knows how to exchange their labor for fruits, but they use this low-level method. If they don't report to the officials, won't they encourage this evil trend?" Su Xin was aggressive, "Master Cui, you have softened your heart too much with them. It has happened many times, but it has hurt others, so now I have no right to say more."
Mrs. Cui blushed at what she said, and was ashamed to see others.
If Ji Shanchang hadn't come forward today, he would have been thinking about driving Fang Tingxian back to the academy...
He hesitated and couldn't speak, and he looked quite pitiful even at his age.
Ji Shanchang originally intended that he did not want to continue to pursue the case, because once the report was reported to the government and the charges were found, it would be as difficult as going to heaven for the three children to take the scientific examination.
However, Ji Shanchang looked at Fang Tingxian, the poor victim... and
suddenly felt that it was not wrong for this little girl to be ruthless.
These children are not three or five years old, but they are already in their teens. If they are only playful and mischievous, they can be corrected as long as they are well guided. But what they have done has broken the bottom line of principles. Do you want to change? Difficult!
"You...you should act in accordance with the law." Chief Ji Shan finally said, "Today's competition is suspended, all of you, together, lead him to the Yamen, explain the truth, and see how the county magistrate makes a decision!" "Shan
Zhang— —" Gu Mingyou froze on the spot.
It's just a jug of wine, just a jug of wine, is it necessary to prevent them from scientific research? !
how so! ? How could this be so! ?
"Qiao's..." Gu Mingyou quickly grabbed Su Xin's clothes, "Mother! I only recognize you as my mother. It was my fault before. Mother, please let your son go, he will never dare again. , my son promises that I will be filial to you in the future, and if I don’t listen to you, I will be hit by thunder!"
Su Xin tore off her clothes and dusted them off: "No, you guys are so big, I can't afford it, you don't matter if you hate me or blame me, I'll take care of things after I've done it, even if I don't care about you in the future. I'm not afraid of your violent storm coming for revenge!"
Gu Ming'er's hands froze there.
The small body is suppressing the huge pain, and there has never been a moment like now, wanting to tear a person into pieces, making her completely non-existent!
Why did Dad marry such a person in the first place, and why did Yan Qingqing make trouble for her!
Now let them bear the consequences, why!
The three of them were children after all, and they couldn't run away even if they wanted to.
What's more, there was Su Xin watching from the side, and soon, they were sent to the yamen together, and the old drunkard, who was the victim, also came forward to testify.
Ji Shanchang had a high reputation in Yuyang City. When he arrived, the county magistrate came forward to try the case.
It's just that the county magistrate was a little puzzled when he saw the three little defendants.
It can be seen that Ji Shanchang has a serious face, and he knows that this matter must be dealt with according to the law.
According to the law of this dynasty, children under the age of seven who commit crimes will not be punished unless they commit murder with their own hands. Children between the ages of seven and ten are not punished for minor crimes, but major crimes can be dealt with lightly. Children between the ages of ten and fifteen can bear all the responsibilities. It's just that in terms of punishment, compared with adults, it still needs to be reduced.
Su Xin knew the law well, and knew that the punishment would not be too heavy, at most it would be a few boards and compensation for drinks.
But what she wants is the indelible title of "robber" on them. As long as they are convicted, the three of them will be able to pass the imperial examinations!
Chapter 118
The county magistrate also hesitated for a while on the verdict of this case, after all, the old alcoholic was indeed arranged by the academy.
But it is indeed a fact that these three children snatched the flagon, and they did such a thing without knowing the truth, which shows that there is indeed evil in their hearts.
"Gu Minger, Gu Mingshan, and Gu Mingcheng robbed other people's property. The judge ordered their parents to pay five taels of money, and confiscated five taels of fine money to make an example. For the sake of your young age, each of you will hit five taels of money. Don't do this kind of thing again in the future, otherwise I will punish you severely!" The county magistrate solved it quickly.
The five boards are not heavy, and the skin won't break even if they are beaten.
This is also because they made mistakes due to profit guidance when participating in the competition, so there was no heavy punishment.
"We refuse to accept—" the three of them spoke quite strongly.
"Execute the sentence and leave the hall after the beating." The county magistrate was not polite. If Ji Shanzhang hadn't personally come forward for such a small case, he wouldn't bother to settle it. As for whether the lives of these three teenagers would be ruined because of his decision, He didn't even care, after all, even if the case was taken to the capital, it wouldn't be his fault.
Besides, there has never been a mountain chief suing a student in Yuyang City. Come here, it is obvious that these three people have committed other unforgivable mistakes!
This is not what it deserves.
As soon as the county magistrate gave the order, the left and right immediately took the person down, and began to beat the board on the spot.
Five boards were played very quickly. When the game was over, the three of them just howled for a while, and their voices were not hoarse.
Soon he was thrown out of the yamen. Of course, there were two policemen by his side, and they had to follow the three children to the Gu family in Shangtan village to ask for money. The fine is not much, but no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat.
"Little girl, you are too good at doing things, I'm afraid you will offend others in the future." Ji Shanchang couldn't help sighing after reading this.
"Who is offending? Mr. Cui?" As he spoke, Su Xin looked at Mrs. Cui, who was beside him with a disheveled face, and said with a smile, "You were helped by these three children at the beginning, so I will help you Taking more care of it can be regarded as an act of benevolence and righteousness, but I am afraid that you are getting old and only care about your children, but you have lost your mind and only look at the surface in everything. Now this student surnamed Fang can keep some points in your hands For face, it was because he was lucky that he happened to be bumped into by the head of the mountain, but what about the others? The third son bullied others because of you." Master Cui's jaw
trembled, and he didn't know who was angry.
"Enough is enough, little girl." Ji Shanchang said quickly, don't make his master in the academy angry.
What Old Cui did was wrong in this matter, but he can't be blamed entirely.
"I heard from the head of the mountain before that there were two other students who had conflicts with these three students. I'm afraid you forgot? What I said was not aimed at Master Cui." Su Xin didn't feel that her words were wrong.
Master Cui favors the third son, and the third son can lift his tail to the sky.
"The old man will re-investigate that matter. If they are wronged, he will definitely give them justice." Ji Shanchang's expression was also a bit dignified.
Master Cui listened to Ji Shanchang's words, and remembered the expressions of the two expelled students when he was in charge of the three sons before, and his mind became even more confused.
He really didn't expect the third son to be so temperamental!
"I thought... I thought those three children were kind people. After all, I fell to the ground that day. If they hadn't rescued me, I don't know how long I would have lay there..." Master Cui's heart was trembling, Uncomfortable twist.
It's really embarrassing to have a reputation for being a fool at a young age!
Su Xin smiled when she heard the words: "Your dress must be similar to today's, right? Just look at your temperament, the robes on your body are patterned with cloud patterns, your hands have cocoons that hold pens all year round, and you either have jade hanging around your waist or Hanging some elegant things, even a fool will look at it, and know that you have been educated and your family is not bad, just to do you a favor and send you to the hospital, and you may get better rewards, why not do it?"
"Did you know that on the same day, before they met your old man, they saw a lame boy, but because he was alone and seemed to be unattended, they pushed him to the ground and humiliated him?" Su Xin said again.
At that time, Gu Jinting didn't care about humiliating Meng Lingfeng!
It's just that Meng Lingfeng was not as lonely and helpless as he appeared on the surface, he just went to the bookstore alone to seek peace.
"Why, how did this happen..." Master Cui was shocked.
Is this what he thought was kind and cunning?
Master Cui clutched his chest, almost unable to bear it anymore.
Su Xin left after saying this, completely ignoring the mess behind her.
Director Ji Shan was very helpless, now that Mr. Cui looked like this, he might have to resign after returning home! He is the one who wants to save face the most. Now that he has lost such a big man, how can he continue to stay?
Mr. Cui's talent and learning are very good, and the little girl's few words will make people collapse...
Ji Shanchang was very helpless, and took a group of students back.
Let's talk about the remaining round of competition tomorrow!
Su Xin was afraid that she wasn't eye-catching enough, so on the way back now, she was closely following the third son's ox cart, carrying the things she had prepared these days on her back, with a brazen smile on her face, once the third son turned to look Looking at her from a distance, Su Xin grinned, feeling that she deserved a beating.
Sanzi's buttocks don't hurt very much, and he can still sit up.
However, the hopelessness of the imperial examination made them discouraged.
All the people in the world, unless they are refugees, have one nationality per person. The general's appearance and characteristics and whether he has committed a crime are clearly recorded in the domicile file. As soon as the black sign in the county magistrate's hand falls today, someone next to him will clearly record the matter ...
really...it's all over.
Hate to the extreme, but now there is nothing left but powerlessness.
Soon, he returned to the village.
Su Xin hadn't returned for a long time, but she was still not in a hurry to go back to her house, but went to Gu's house cheekily, and together with two police officers, personally sent her to the door of Gu's house.
Gu Jinting has good legs and feet, and his family has spent a lot of money recently. Now he can't go to the deep mountains, but in order to earn more money, he went to the outer mountains to hunt pheasants and rabbits. Yan Qingqing was packing up the medicinal herbs at home. Heart and catch quickly, there is some bad premonition in my heart.
"You two officials, what happened? Did someone... bully them?" Yan Qingqing felt guilty, but she still insisted on asking.
"These three children committed a crime, and the county magistrate ordered the Gu family to pay five taels of compensation and a fine of five taels of silver. Are you their sister? Quickly call the adults and make up the money!"
Chapter 119 She Did It On Purpose
The police also knew that the Gu family had a stepmother, but they didn't know that the stepmother was so young.
The corners of Su Xin's mouth twitched slightly when he heard the words, Yan Weiqing only felt that the smile was very dazzling, and said falteringly: "I, I am their... elder, their mother... What happened, how could it happen? The penalty is silver..."
Her voice was soft, and the policeman was very surprised, but her attitude improved a bit.
Said everything.
After speaking, Yan Weiwei was shocked, and could hardly suppress her anger, but it was not easy to explode in front of the police, so she had to go get the money and send him away.
When the arrester was about to leave, Yan Qingqing said angrily: "Er Bao, how can you take your younger brothers to mess around with you as an older brother? You also rob others? Didn't your father give you money? Isn't it just a pot of money?" Wine, why can’t you buy it yourself!?”
It’s ridiculous to ruin your future for this kind of thing!
She worked so hard to make money, buy land and mountains, for what? Don't you think they will be promising in the future and want to support them in studying well? !
It's all right now, and he was arrested and quickly chased after the door!
The third son was already angry.
They also didn't want to blame Yan Qing's, but now that they saw her, Su Xin's previous words couldn't help but come to mind.
"What face do you have to blame us! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be like this!" Gu Mingyou pushed the person away and ran back to the house, and the other two children did the same, glaring at them like enemies Same.
"You guys still have reason, don't you! Two treasures, three treasures, four treasures! Come out quickly, you must reflect on yourself and apologize. If you ruin such a big thing as studying, you will ruin it. How can you explain it to your father!" Yan Qingqing Very anxious.
There are only four children in the family who can study, and three of them are folded at a time.
Can she not be angry? !
Moreover, Liubao is still young, and he will be a few years later than these three children if he wants to take the imperial examination!
Yan gently yelled a few times, but no one responded. In front of Su Xin, she felt very ashamed, but she didn't want to admit it, so she said: "Su Xin, this is our family's business, it has nothing to do with you, right? If you don't I won't stay for other things, you go back first!"
What is Lai doing at the door of her house?
Su Xin grinned: "How can it be irrelevant? If you hadn't spread some words about me in the village all day long, they wouldn't have gotten into this disaster. I'm afraid you don't understand, so I came here to remind you that you committed a crime." Such a big mistake, we must treat the children well in the future and make up for it!"
"You, what do you mean..." The thread in Yan Qingqing's mind seemed to be broken.
"What I did, isn't it a coincidence that I met the head of the mountain, so I asked the head of the mountain to test them. They made a mistake. The head of the mountain wanted to lift it high and put it down gently, but it was me again. I will let the head of the mountain Reporter, finally convicted, hey, it’s not in vain for me to stay busy in the county for a few days.”
“You should blame yourself, but they are children, and they won’t hold grudges against you for too long. , let them be more, they stay at home, you can also take care of their daily necessities, sooner or later they will forgive you." Su Xin said again with a smile.
Are these words familiar?
Before falling out with Gu Jinting, Yan Qingqing said similar words in front of her body almost every day.
Let her be nice to the children, let her not care about the children, let her take good care of the children, and she will be accepted by the children in the future... After
Su Xin finished speaking, she felt that the sunset was even more beautiful.
Yan Weiwei froze on the spot, Su Xin watched the sky full of red clouds reflected on her face, like a beautiful picture scroll.
Su Xin looked at her and was very satisfied: "If I still hear you gossip about me in the future, then I don't know who will be the next one to suffer." After saying this, Su Xin
left .
Yan Weiwei was cold all over.
Su Xin, Su Xin!
How could she be so vicious, ruining the child's future just because she said a few words in front of outsiders? ! How could she be so shameless!
No wonder, no wonder Er Bao and the others looked at her with such eyes!
"Erbao, Erbao, you heard it too. She did it on purpose to make you hate me...don't be angry with me, okay? I really didn't say anything bad about her, I just..." Yan Qingqing sincerely She was very wronged, what she told Mrs. Qiu was the truth!
And in the past few days, Su Xin didn't come home, she just asked others why Su Xin went there, why she stayed in the county all the time, she didn't say a word about anything else!
"Get out!!" Gu Mingyou was already going crazy, hearing the voices outside, he just felt bored.
If she would always be Sister Yan, then he would respect and love her all his life, but she used that method to marry the best dad in their hearts, and now she ruined their whole life!
I can't forgive you!
As soon as Gu Jinting came home, he heard his son talking nonsense to his wife, his face turned ugly for a moment, he strode forward, and immediately opened the door with his hand: "Who allowed you to talk softly to each other like this!? She is your mother, Even if you don't want it, it's already become a fact, you have to accept it anyway!"
"Brother Ting...it's not the children's fault, it's me, it's all my fault..." Yan Weiqing hastily stopped her.
The third son looked cold.
He looked at his furious father in shock.
Does father care why they are home? Why are they so angry with Yan Weiwei?
He didn't ask anything, just blamed them like that!
If, if their stepmother was still jealous, when they had a conflict with the stepmother, it would definitely not be like this, dad would only stand by their side, but now, it's different ...
Gu Jinting was just eager to protect his wife, and didn't think much for a while, Yan Qingqing immediately said the matter, and Gu Jinting was pulled away from his anger, and looked at his child in a panic.
However, the three of them lowered their heads indifferently, not wanting to hear any explanations.
"This is Su Xin's fault. What are you blaming Qingqing for? Dad just blamed you all by mistake, but you shouldn't have vented your anger on others..." Gu Jinting felt guilty and angry, "Don't worry, Dad will definitely give you the answer." You vented your anger!"
"How do you vent your anger? Dad can kill that Leng Su! Even if we kill her, we won't be able to take the imperial examination, so what's the use of us studying!?" Gu Mingyou roared.
Gu Jinting felt this powerlessness again.
But he still couldn't figure it out, Su Xin, how could such a woman persuade the head of the Mingyue Academy?
Gu Jinting didn't know how to comfort his son, so he could only go back to the house silently, exuding a gloomy temperament all over his body.
Yan Qingqing couldn't do anything, she could only cook some meals, trying to make them happy.
However, after Gu Mingyi and the others found out about the matter, their attitude towards her, which had been slightly relaxed, dropped to a freezing point in an instant, as if they wanted to eat her, just like Gu Mingyou.
For the first time, Yan Weiwei discovered that in this family, it was really difficult for her.
Why can't the children understand her? Su Xin was clearly the one who made the mistake, so why target her? !
Chapter 120 Fight Back
Gu Jinting's heart is also in a mess now, the children can't read, he is more heartbroken than anyone else, and he doesn't even have the time to pay attention to Yan Qingqing's emotions, so at this moment, Yan Qingqing only feels that she is alone and helpless, and looks at the neighbor with lonely eyes empty house.
If her parents were still there, she would definitely not be so lonely. At least, she would have a place to stay, and she would not be like staying here, like an outsider.
The Gu family was in disarray, and after Su Xin returned to her house, Mrs. Wu, Song Shuanzi, and Song Xuezhen ran over as if they had the wind.
At this time, they had finished their work, and seeing Wu's happy face, Su Xin knew that her business should be very good these few days.
"Where did you die, girl? You're worried about us, so you just leave a message without saying where you're going. You can't do this again next time!" Wu Shixu slapped her on the arm, and his eyes swept up and down. She glanced worriedly, "Is there anything wrong?"
"No? I just went to look at various bookstores in the county, sister-in-law, there is no need to make a fuss." Su Xin said with a smile.
Mrs. Wu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that it's okay. You know, rumors have been flying all over the sky when you've been away for a few days.
" Those troubled old women ran home, prescribing medicines, and saying that you were away all day, and you didn’t know what you were doing... Those old women turned their heads and started chatting with others. It’s only been a few days. Everyone said, you went to the He family to be someone else's aunt..." Wu hurriedly waved her hands and fanned herself, "I'm so pissed off, I quarreled with them a few times, but it was useless, people see If you don’t come back, you’ll still be talking nonsense.”
“Master, I didn’t let you be talked about in vain, yesterday I called out the children from the families who talked about you the most, and asked them to refute when they heard the elders at home say bad things about you. When I go back, whoever makes a big fuss and makes a good fuss, I'll treat him to meat." Song Shuanzi said hastily.
After finishing speaking, his expression was quite shy.
"Is it working well?" Su Xin asked.
"I just finished school, I don't know yet." Song Shuanzi looked innocent.
When Wu Shi heard this, she was also shocked: "Son, you did this!? Let me tell you, why did Mrs. Liu's most precious grandson quarrel with her this morning? One ran around the village, one The whole village was chasing and beating... The child said that his grandma was a big talker who talked about other people's rights and wrongs all day long, and that his grandma was not kind at all, and she was far worse than Granny Qian next door. , her grandson dragged her back, and she was so angry that Mrs. Liu almost pouted..."
As Wu said, she couldn't believe that it was her son who did it.
In fact, she didn't want her son to play such tricks, but when she thought about it carefully, her son usually didn't do bad things, and this time he was standing up for Su Xin, so she used her brain and didn't think there was anything wrong.
Now the son knows how to protect the master with his heart, and when he is bullied by others in the future, he can fight back with his heart, and he will not be as stupid as before.
"Mother, you taught me to be upright..." Song Shuanzi was actually a little worried.
Mrs. Wu grinned: "What's wrong with my son! You didn't take the initiative to harm others, and you even asked their children to come out. That was instilling correct ideas, and you didn't teach them badly. What's wrong?!" "Thank you,
mother !" Song Shuanzi immediately became happy.
His mother is the best.
"It seems that you have learned a lot with He Yi in the past few days." Su Xin said.
As soon as He Yi was mentioned, Song Shuanzi sighed helplessly: "Master, I've never seen such... a reckless person!" Mrs. Wu was
very curious about her son's affairs in the He family, and now she asked quickly after hearing that, Song Shuanzi also Without hiding anything, he said honestly: "He thought that I would be able to be honest without going to school after eating a meal, but when I urged him to study on time, he was so angry that he almost didn't lift the roof off. Take away his desk and let me lie down there as his desk..." "
I know that I have to suffer, and I can bear it. He sees that I have endured, but I still sneak around and play tricks, intentionally making trouble in class, disrupting the progress, The three masters are so angry that they almost don't want to teach..."
"However, Master made an agreement with him earlier. Even if he gets angry again, he can't hit me. At most, it's just a trial. Now I just think of myself as a young daughter-in-law, just bear it." Song Shuanzi said , the expression is still calm.
"You didn't fight back once?" Su Xin frowned slightly.
Isn't this kid a little silly?
She only accepted this apprentice because of her good talent...
"Yes, the apprentice found the masters, and the masters went to the old man and praised Young Master He, saying that he went to the school every day and became more and more serious." Work hard, the old man was very happy when he heard about it, he ate a few more bowls of rice, the old man was recovering from a serious illness, He Yi didn't dare to make the old man angry, so he could only be put there, and he didn't dare to delay the class to displease his master today , afraid that Master will sue." Song Shuanzi said with a smile.
Master said that if you want to deal with a person, you must first find out the weakness of that person.
Only in this way can one hit hit.
After observing these days, he probably knew that what He Yi cared most about was the old man.
In the past, the old man should have known that he was impatient, so he didn't rush too much in his studies, but now he mistakenly thinks that He Yi is sensible, so naturally his expectations are getting higher and higher, and he is more concerned about He Yi's studies in words stand up.
Su Xin heard the words and nodded, "You've done a good job. Don't be too rigid in your behavior. Learn to be flexible. It's a fool's job to knock out your teeth and swallow it in your stomach." "Understood, Master." Song Shuanzi
hurriedly nod.
Wu Shi was taken aback when he heard that.
Song Xuezhen was like a sculpture, just sitting in a corner, looking at Su Xin from time to time, but didn't say anything.
"Haven't you dropped out of martial arts?" Su Xin asked again.
"Apprentices practice basic skills every day." Song Shuanzi said hastily.
If we said that when I first started my apprenticeship, I had an ordinary liking for Su Xin, then now I have complete faith and respect.
"That's good, go back and rest. I will test your progress in the past few days tomorrow morning. If you don't satisfy me, you need to practice more." Su Xin looked serious.
After Song Shuanzi finished speaking, he bid farewell obediently.
"My son has been trained by you...I am not as good as you. I have taught for so many years, and I haven't changed much these days..." Wu's sour, a little helpless, "Why do I feel that I am doing it for you?" Have a baby?"
"Sister-in-law, you've worked hard!" Su Xin grinned.
"You're still poor!" Wu Shi rolled her eyes at her.
She wasn't really sour, it was just feeling a little bit emotional, Su Xin was just being kind to her son, the road was paved, this master was not much worse than his own mother, and his son should be filial to her, otherwise he wouldn't be a white-eyed wolf?
And her son is the best child in the world, it's a good thing that many people hurt him!
