Chapter 45
After a heavy beating, Su Huan and other students slowly walked out of the county magistrate's mansion holding his husband's hand.

None of the servants dared to stop them. In fact, seeing the master's family being beaten, they never called for resistance.

"drive!"

The sound of hooves gradually faded away.

The county magistrate got up from the ground, and his nose bleed all over the place.

A group of servants knelt nervously. "My lord, please forgive me."

The county magistrate straightened his waist and regained his former official authority. "Chicken day, Zhu Su's father shrinks Su Xu, is it chicken?"

…(⊙_⊙;)…

A group of servants, look at you, look at me, what is the master saying?
"Ah!" The county magistrate was instantly angry, kicked over, then went to the desk, wrote a piece of paper, threw it on the ground viciously, and left with a wave of his sleeves.

"Don't speak out about today's matter. Anyone who violates the law will be killed with a cane. The steward will then find a doctor to treat me and the young master."

……

A small house on the east side.

The ground was littered with broken bottles and fallen tables.

Xu Youping sat on the ground in a daze, wrapped in blankets, muttering. "It hurts the room, it hurts the room too much." (Rampant, too rampant.)
Xu Youping's hair was messy, there was no good part on his face, there were buns everywhere, his mouth was already swollen, four or five teeth had been knocked out, he picked it up and held it in the palm of his hand.

In broad daylight, the world is bright and bright, and they openly forcibly break into the official house and beat people.

"Old post~" Xu Youping saw an old man with buns approaching, after careful identification, he turned out to be his father, if he was not wearing an official uniform, he almost didn't recognize him.

"Pier~"

The two were one meter apart, burst into tears, and then hugged each other tightly, very pitifully.

The news of the County Chancellor's Mansion was tightly blocked. The people in Lin'an County only knew that Mr. Qin Zhi rode his horse to the County Chancellor's Mansion with great vigor this morning, but they didn't find out what happened. I asked for leave due to illness and didn't go to the government office.

The county magistrate woke up early in the morning and was in a great mood when he heard the servant's report, but he didn't know how the magistrate was beaten.

The hot-tempered Mr. Qin Zhi beat up the magistrates in the past two years, what a majestic magistrate of a county.

"Prepare the sedan chair. If a colleague is sick, I must go and visit him to show the harmony among all officials in the county." The county magistrate was very happy. "Come here, prepare an extra snack for the county magistrate."

……

In the evening, Su Huan came back to the White Mansion through the back door. The front door was terrible, and the group of matchmakers were lighting a charcoal stove under the eaves, and they couldn't be driven away.

Back in the room, there were dozens of greeting cards piled up on the table, all of which were invitations to meet Su Huan, including scholars from Lin'an, masters of Juren, and some merchants, as well as a few invitations from several well-known Confucian scholars. Post, the status is second only to Mr. Qin Zhi.

Su Huan flipped through it twice, and felt that it was boring. With so many invitations, he didn't know who to go to, and he didn't have so much free time, so he didn't go at all, so as not to offend others.

……

The matchmaker outside gave a few taels of silver to inquire about Su Huan's living habits, and she finally found out something useful.

Su Huan is growing peppers.

What is chili?

The matchmakers all suspected that they heard it wrong. Was this really the work of Talented Su?

Looking at the footprints embedded in the snow one after another on the street, you know that the snow is not trivial. In such a cold weather, the plants have been frozen to death. Su Caizi did such a stupid thing. I really don’t know how to laugh at him for his ignorance. , or laugh at his ignorance.

It's so stupid. It turns out that the scholars are useless people who only know how to recite poems and don't even understand the basic common sense of farmland.

Su Huan's news is a topic of great concern in Lin'an County. He grows peppers in the winter, and within two hours it has been known to all the streets and alleys.

"Absurd, don't waste the seeds if Mr. Su doesn't understand. Although he doesn't know what pepper is, it's still a plant. As long as it can be eaten, it can't be wasted." An old man who has been farming all the year round scoffed.

Thinking of the famine more than ten years ago, countless people in the Jiangnan area starved to death. If the imperial court did not provide timely relief, there would be great chaos.

In this era, food is life, as long as it is eaten, it is the hope of survival.

In the courtyard of Hangzhou Fuya, a middle-aged man in his 40s is practicing calligraphy with a Langhao brush in his hand.

"My lord, that Su Huan rejected the invitation, I heard that he is planting plants, now~" A guard with a knife tried hard not to laugh.

In the entire Hangzhou Mansion, except for a few high-ranking officials, from the government officials to the common people, all farmed.

The autumn harvest season has passed for a month, and the rice has long been dried and piled in the granary. Walking in the fields, the surrounding fields are desolate, and the trees along the roadside are also bare. Anyone with common sense knows that this is not a suitable season for planting.

Whoever plants things at this time is a fool.

Su Huan was extremely talented and admired by many literati, but he didn't expect to do such a stupid thing, which really made people laugh and cry.

Even if he is a scholar, he is not so ignorant. After all, Su Huan's family was poor, so he doesn't know this common sense. In the current literary world, there are more and more doubts about him.

Many talented people defended Su Huan. He was so talented, he must have been immersed in the sea of ​​books for many years. It is normal that he has never worked in farming. Farming is something that farmers can do.

"Plant plants now?" The middle-aged man glanced out of the window, and there was already a layer of snow on the ground.

"Yes, my lord. It's now. I heard that he has plowed all the land in the yard and planted it." It was good that the guard didn't mention it, but he wanted to laugh when he mentioned it.

The middle-aged man looked at the snow falling outside the window, and couldn't understand it. Winter is the time when everything is silent, not the time for vitality. Planting plants at this time is against the whole world, going against the sky, how can it work? ?
The seeds were buried in the snow, how could they take root and germinate, they should have been directly frozen to death.

"How could the students taught by that irascible old man be like this." The magistrate was puzzled. "Although the irascible old man has a bad temper, he does have knowledge, and it is impossible to teach such ignorant students."

"Could it be that the irritable old man has figured out a way to grow plants in winter?" The prefect's eyes lit up: "Prepare your sedan chair and go to Huaizhi Academy."

Many big bosses, when they heard that Su Huan planted plants in winter, the students under him laughed and mocked Su Huan's ignorance. These old men thought about it because of Su Huan's name. It's really impossible. Great talents should not be so stupid. Regarding this, I specially found a few great scholars to discuss it. In the end, all the great scholars just shook their heads. Planting plants in winter is absolutely impossible.

……

Huaizhi Academy, Mr.'s study.

Mr. Qin Zhi was sitting in front of a charcoal stove, closed his eyes enjoying it, and there was a bulging tinfoil in the charcoal stove.

Su Huan gave Mr. Qin Zhi two packs of Orleans powder, and Mr. Qin Zhi was making his own roast chicken.

The smell of roasted chicken came through the tin foil, and Mr. Qin Zhi salivated vigorously when he smelled it. He poured a glass of wine and poured it into his mouth with his eyes closed. It was really comfortable.

Beside the window, three students were lying on their stomachs, looking through the crack of the window, there were six black eyes blinking.

These are the students attracted by the fragrance, Wang Qian swallowed his saliva. "Old Zhang, what do you think Master is eating? Why is it so delicious?"

"I've never heard of this scent. It's really fragrant. Why don't you, Old Wang, go in and steal the contents of that charcoal stove."

"How can... taking without asking is a thief." Wang Qian suddenly grinned. "But... leave a small note, it's not called stealing."

"Yeah, that's called borrowing!" Lao Zhang nodded heavily.

"Yes, that's what Master said." Xu Youtu also nodded, staring at the bulging thing in the charcoal stove through the window, and confirmed that the fragrance is coming from it.

"Sir!" the academy servant shouted outside the study.

Mr. Qin Zhi asked impatiently: "What's the matter!"

"The magistrate of Hangzhou Prefecture is here to visit, please see Mr., and he is already waiting in the lobby."

"Come early or late, really, tell him that the old man is not here." Mr. Qin Zhi didn't care about the magistrate, he only had roast chicken in his heart.

"Yes!" The servant replied.

"Mr. Qin~~" The prefect's voice came from the yard.

No, he is walking here, if he smells the fragrance, that glutton will definitely grab the food with the old man.

"Wait a minute, the old man will deal with him personally." Mr. Qin Zhi took the lid to cover the charcoal stove, and walked out of the study.

Outside the rear window, Wang Qian and the others were lying on the ground. The servant was yelling, thinking he was caught, and almost died of fright.

Several people got up on their stomachs, looking through the window, Mr. Qin Zhi had already left.
