The elder brother who travels through is hard to do

After Xu Minqing had dinner at home, he took Jiang Hong to the Lufu to report on the results of his study in the past half month.As for the appearance of Jiang Hong, the book boy, because he went to the Lu Mansion, everyone thought it was arranged by Mr. Lu for Xu Minqing, but the latter didn't say it clearly, so they misunderstood.

Lu Yunzhi was also very happy to see Min Qing. Although he never said he would accept this student verbally, in actual actions he took Min Qing as seriously as a student. He is respectful.

Usually Lu Yunzhi treats Xu Minqing very gently, but when he enters the teacher-student mode, Lu Yunzhi is a strict teacher, how strict is it?I'm afraid that whoever Lu Yunzhi really accepts as his student in the future will not be able to meet Xu Minqing's requirements.Because when Lu Yunzhi was teaching Xu Minqing, he would think of Jiang Sanshao back then. The reason why he strictly demanded Minqing was that he would not ruin the reputation of his biological father and Jiang family, and even be better than blue.

It took Lu Yunzhi an hour to check Xu Minqing's homework and answer his doubts, and then assigned him extra homework for him to complete in the second half of the month while studying in the academy.Only then did Lu Yunzhi's expression soften, and he was very satisfied in his heart. He knew that Min Qing would not slack off in his studies. Maybe the two were the same kind of people, and they would seize every opportunity that was beneficial to them and do their best. He climbed up and down, Lu Yunzhi wanted to get rid of the cage of the Lu family, and Xu Minqing wanted to find a better place to settle down, and then restore the reputation of the Jiang family.

Therefore, there is no need to be urged by others. He also believes that Min Qing will fill his time with homework. He is a very smart person, and with his hard work that is not inferior to or even far better than others, he will definitely be better than others in the future. Others go further.

Jiang Hong offered two cups of tea with great discernment, and then quietly retreated to the side. He cherished being able to be a book boy by the young master's side very much. He behaved well, the young master never scolded him, and would clean up the room with him, and he didn't completely treat him as a real person. Under the education of the second master, young master Ke Ke regarded himself as the heir of the Jiang family since he was a child, and he was obviously down and out He has to be supported by servants like them, and he has to pretend to be a young master to show contempt for them.

Lu Yunzhi took a sip of tea, and said in a warm voice, "Is there someone from the Lu family in the academy making things difficult for you?"

Xu Minqing's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "Sir, the atmosphere in the academy is very good, and they don't have much influence on me." Although he didn't have a teacher, Mr. Lu had the kindness to teach him, so Xu Minqing respected him very much and called him Mr. .

Lu Yunzhi laughed, and looked at Min Qing with relief: "I know you are smart, those people really don't deserve our time wasting for them, the more they can't recognize the situation, the less chance they have to turn around."

"Yes, sir." The smile on Xu Minqing's face widened, "It's better to read two more books when you have that time. Minqing often feels that time is not enough." They agree that the problem of the Lu family is their own, but now the Lu family does not find the root cause, but puts the responsibility on others. Before entering the academy, he guessed that those Lu family members would definitely find him, thinking Seek superiority from him.

In his opinion, that was an extremely childish move. Even if they could hit him, they still couldn't beat Mr., and they were nothing more than clowns compared to him.

"Well, it's good that you know, if they go too far, just tell me, I have a way to make the people in that mansion restrain themselves." Lu Yunzhi smiled softly.

"Okay, sir."

After drinking some tea and chatting for a while, Xu Minqing got up to leave, and the book shop still needs to be taken care of.

Lu Yunzhi looked at his back as he left, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He had never mentioned the existence of the Lu family in the academy to Min Qing before, perhaps it was a test for Min Qing. Now it seems that Min Qing has long since He expected the situation he would face after entering the academy, and those people couldn't bother him.

He knows how the people outside scold him, and even some older literati have bad words for him. In their view, it is the biggest sin for him, Lu Yunzhi, to betray his family. If he can betray him, even if he can't abide by the most basic filial piety, there is a big problem with this person's character, how can he gain a foothold in the officialdom.

But he didn't care about what those people said at all. After getting the young master's approval these years, with the young master's help, he lived in another house, always stood by the young master's side, and lived a better life than anyone else in the Lu family, that's enough.

Before Min Qing entered the academy, his relationship with him and even living in him was not a secret in the eyes of the caring people in the city. These news naturally spread to the ears of Lu's family. I don't know what kind of annoyance I will have, and of course Min Qing was also angered by them.

Xu Minqing on the carriage thought of those people and things in the academy, with a mocking smile on his face.

Jiang Hong also knew about the young master's situation in the academy, and he was also on the list of being excluded. He thought that the young master would sue Lu Gongzi this time, but he didn't expect the young master to say nothing.Jiang Hong looked at the expression on the young master's face, but decided not to ask anything, and he would do what the young master said.

At the door of the bookstore, the carriage stopped, and when Xu Minqing got out of the carriage, the shopkeeper immediately came out to greet him, carefully watching the face of the little owner.Before the workshop made progress, Jiang Feng said that his master would come to check it on the holidays, but he couldn't wait and ran to the Lu mansion, wanting to claim credit for Mr. Lu, but he was reprimanded by Mr. Lu. Tell him to wait for Young Master Xu, so that you don't have to go to him again for the book store.At that time, seeing the cold gaze of the always gentle Mr. Lu, he broke out in a sweat, and realized that his actions had offended Mr. Lu.

In the final analysis, he still underestimated Young Master Xu, and felt uneasy. Jiang Feng was there, which made him feel very uneasy. He felt that this Jiang Feng would take his place at some point, and he wanted to use Mr. Lu to strengthen himself before. So that Young Master Xu can see clearly that he belongs to Mr. Lu, and he can't move casually, but right now he doesn't dare to have such an idea again.

Xu Minqing saw the guilty look on the shopkeeper's face at a glance, and he could guess the general idea after turning his mind twice. He had no responsibility to appease the shopkeeper, and asked as he walked in, "Where's Jiang Fengren?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly followed, but he was short of breath to the man who was much younger than him, and said: "Jiang Feng is in the workshop at the back, he said that Young Master Xu will definitely come today, he really hit it off." He laughed as he said He made a sound, but even Jiang Hong didn't agree, making the old flesh on his face tremble, and his smiling face turned into a bitter face.

"You can watch from the front. Jiang Hong and I will go to the back." Xu Minqing waved his hand and said.

The shopkeeper had to watch Xu Minqing lead Jiang Hong around a corner and disappear into his eyes, the taste in his mouth became more and more bitter.

Xu Minqing didn't want to do anything to the shopkeeper, but he just taught him a lesson. He had asked about the situation of the people in Mr. Lu's book shop in private before. The credence he holds is gone, and he also believes that the fourth son will not let the news of the movable type engraving leak out to benefit others, so he feels that these people, including the shopkeeper, are all credible, but he still has to ask .

The answer was the same as he thought, so he didn't really want to resign from the shopkeeper and let Jiang Feng take his place. What's more, he will open other bookstores after he develops. There are many opportunities to employ people. Now let him hang out. It was just to let him see his identity clearly.

"Young master, you're here." Jiang Feng saw Xu Minqing very happy, and looked at his young son, seeing his spirit and spirit, thinking that life with the young master would be better than being by his side.

Xu Minqing was very satisfied to see that Jiang Feng stayed behind and didn't ask about the shop in front of him on his own initiative, and asked as he walked, "Is there another result?" He could see it from the shopkeeper's expression.

"What the young master said is that the result this time is better than last time. I have already started arranging for them to start typesetting and print out the books in the first batch of books given by the young master. Maybe when the young master comes over next time, they will be able to print the books." I can see it as a book." Jiang Feng was very excited, he liked the current life better than the previous wandering around.

Those craftsmen were very devoted, and when they saw Xu Minqing coming over, they didn't have much time to say hello to him, and Xu Minqing didn't care, the more results they produced, the better for him, and he could understand the mentality of these craftsmen after a period of contact. He is more willing to study his craft without any distraction, and to carry forward his craft to pass on. His character is what he respects, so he is also willing to spend more money to make their lives better.

The shop in Kang county was not abandoned either. He asked Jiang Feng to go there once or twice a month to check the accounts regularly. With Jiang Feng's eldest son watching over there, Xu Minqing didn't believe that the shopkeeper could cheat.

The day passed quickly, and the next morning he took Jiang Hong to the academy again. Sun Dagui watched the two of them enter the academy before driving away in the carriage.

"Hey, look who this is, isn't this the new talent Xu from Yanzhou City." Xu Minqing was stopped at the door of the residence, and one of them waved a folding fan and said strangely.

"Don't embarrass us, what kind of talented Xu, a country bumpkin, can also be said to be a talented person in our Yanzhou City? But after only a few days, you want to trample us Yanzhou City people under your feet? Don't even look at what kind of goods you are?"

"Yeah, he's just a country bumpkin, he's not even qualified to carry your shoes for Master Lu, haha, why don't you kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy, our Master Lu will spare your life a lot."

Talking all over, they came to Xu Minqing to taunt, Jiang Hong couldn't control his anger and clenched his fists tightly, wishing to go up and beat them to the ground.These people dared to look down on his master, telling the master's life experience would surely scare a lot of people to death, and they alone were not worthy of carrying shoes for the dignified descendants of the Jiang family.

But the young master had told him before he entered the academy that he was not allowed to reveal his background, and he was not allowed to do anything in the name of the Jiang family, but he was still wronged for the young master, why should the young master be ridiculed and humiliated.

The corners of Xu Minqing's mouth twitched, the person in the middle who was waving a folding fan and pretending to be in the cold was the husband's half-brother Lu Yunze. Looking closely, he looked a bit similar to him, but it seemed a bit mean when placed on this person , and because he has always been favored at home and has an arrogant and domineering temperament, Xu Minqing brought someone over to provoke him on the first day he entered the academy.

Xu Minqing said in his heart that he really didn't know how the eyes of the head of the Lu family, who was the father, grew. Anyone could tell whether the master and his half-brother were better or worse. The contrast was too clear, but that one I wish his husband would disappear forever.

He reached out his hand to stop Jiang Hong, who was about to rush over, and smiled coldly: "Who's dog is not tied up and barking, Jiang Hong, let's go, don't you think it's very early in the morning? This is an academy, isn't it?" The vegetable market on North Street."

The academy has its own rules, it is allowed to have verbal disputes, but it is not allowed to use force to bully others, so he didn't take those words that made Jiang Hong very angry at all, what's the use of talking quickly, just like what he said to Mr. , it's better to hurry up and read more books, so he didn't want to pay attention to these boring people at all, and detoured back to his residence after speaking.

Those rampant laughter swelled and stagnated for a long time before someone came back and pointed at Xu Minqing with a trembling finger. It was outrageous: "He... this country bumpkin dares to call us..." He couldn't say the last word, so he It's a dog's life to scold others, but now it's turned into a dog by others, and looked at Lu Yunze with an ugly face. According to that country bumpkin, they are Lu Yunze's henchmen.

It seems to be telling the truth...a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat.

Jiang Hong followed behind the young master, glanced back, seeing those people trembling with anger, he twitched his shoulders and suppressed a smile, they deserve it!I made you angry, young master, now you are also angry!It's good to be mad at you!

Yanyang Academy allocates students two rooms to each other. Xu Minqing's roommate comes from a rich family, so he looks down on Xu Minqing, a poor boy from a rich family. When Yunzhi came and went frequently, someone had already figured out his details.For such a person, Xu Minqing is not willing to go up to make fun of him, the pride in his bones is not lower than anyone else, even higher.

The door was locked outside, Jiang Hong immediately rushed up from behind and took out the key to open the door, while still wondering why the roommate Mr. Jiang was not there?That person is not from Yanzhou, Xiu Muri did not leave the academy, after getting along for half a month, I also know that the person is not a hardworking person, let alone he is not here, where is his schoolboy?

While muttering in his heart, he opened the door and let the young master go in. When he turned around the screen and saw the scene in the room clearly, Jiang Hong was shocked, and all the things he held in his hand fell to the ground. He hurriedly turned his head, and his young master saw it too. , but just sneered.

Jiang Hong was furious: "Young master, they must have done it. No wonder that group of people just didn't catch up and let us come over. Young master, I'm going to settle accounts with them, this is too bullying!"

The whole dormitory was in a mess, ink was scattered here and there, that’s all, the pile of books on the desk was thrown on the ground, the pages were torn everywhere, there were still a lot of bright ink on the paper. Shoe prints, Jiang Hong was so angry that his chest heaved and heaved. Who doesn't know that the young master loves books the most, and every time he finishes reading a book, he has to smooth out the edges and corners.

Jiang Hong felt like crying, and wanted to rush out after speaking.

"Jiang Hong, stop!" Although Xu Minqing was moved by Jiang Hong's protector, he felt that Jiang Hong was sometimes too reckless. He stopped him and saw that his eyes were red with anger. Instead, he laughed and said, "Jiang Hong, don't Hurry up, your young master, I have a lot of ways to punish them, go, invite the supervisor over, and say that when I was leaving the hospital, a collection of Analects annotated by University Scholar Jiang himself was torn apart in my room."

"Young master..." Jiang Hong became confused, and suddenly remembered that before leaving the academy, the young master packed up those books himself, and he refused to let him go forward to help the young master.

Xu Minqing blinked: "Although it is a manuscript, it is indeed the notes of Jiang University, and there are still leftover pages here."

Jiang Hong suddenly became happy, nodded again and again, and said excitedly: "Young master, I understand, I'll go right away." After speaking, he rushed out, and even touched his face, showing an angry expression.It turned out that the young master had already expected what these people would do, and he deliberately waited for them here. The books left by Grand Master Jiang are hard to buy for others, but who is his young master? That is Grand Master Jiang His own grandson was originally still in the young master's study, and he didn't know how many manuscripts he had copied.

"Master Superintendent, it's not good, Mr. Superintendent, it's not good..." Jiang Hong cried out in panic.

Some people hide in the dark and want to watch a good show. They have done this kind of trick many times. Those poor students with no background have not swallowed their anger and endured it in secret. Hmph, the poor boys from the countryside should respect them honestly and give them pointers. You can't go west from the east, and don't look at whose territory Yanzhou is.

Feelings They still regard Yanzhou City as the territory of those old families, so where is Xiao Wangfu located?

Jiang Hong is also clever, and after receiving the hint from his master, he purposely yelled about the matter loudly. Originally, the supervisor turned a blind eye to the disputes between the students, and he also received benefits from those rich children in private. Jiang Hong didn't pay much attention to his yelling, and even scolded him, accusing him of being a book boy for disturbing the order of the academy, but a passing teacher listened to him, and the supervisor couldn't hide it even if he wanted to down.

"Hurry up, take me there!" The master urged Jiang Hong impatiently when he heard that the book was written by Jiang University, which made the supervisor feel suspicious, and shook his head secretly. It's impossible, how could a poor boy do it? It is not he who said about the books written by Grand Scholar Jiang, even in Prince Xiao's mansion, there may not be a few authentic works left by Grand Scholar Jiang.

Xu Minqing had a look of sadness on his face. Seeing Jiang Hong rushing in with a group of people, he pointed to the broken pages of the book on the ground to the leader of the master. He opened his mouth to say something, but was too sad to speak.The master also taught Xu Minqing's class, and he still has a deep impression on this student, because his entrance examination scores are quite high, ranking sixth, and this is only because Xu Minqing was born in a peasant family and had no exposure to piano, chess and painting since childhood In terms of edification, this is behind the students with good backgrounds, but in other aspects they are not inferior to their peers.

The master saw the mess on the ground, his heart twitched, and he said angrily: "Is this still a student of our academy? It's simply, it's insulting to the gentleman! Supervisor Chen, you must check for me, check it hard, this kind of person is actually If you waste books, you are in vain as a scholar! If you don’t want to be a scholar, you should leave the academy as soon as possible, so as not to tarnish the reputation of our Yanyang Academy!”

After scolding the supervisor for a while, the master shook his hands, and asked Xu Minqing with a heartache: "Is there really a collection of commentaries on the Analects of Jiang University? You...didn't coax me?" For a moment, he didn't want to hear Xu Minqing's answer, no matter which one The answer will make his heart ache. If there is such a book and it is ruined by an ignorant student, he would rather Xu Minqing deceive him than the book be destroyed. But if that is the case, the character of this student he loves Sex is problematic again.

"Master, Minqing dare not lie to Master. There is a handwritten copy, sir, so I borrowed one and copied it. I didn't want to forget it in the room when I left the day before yesterday. When I came here this morning, I found..." One said while squatting. The lower body picked up a few pages that had been trampled on or torn in half, and wiped the dust on them with his sleeves, holding them in both hands and handing them to Master, "Master, please take a look."

There was too much movement, not only the other masters, but also the students in this area also ran over to watch when they heard the groaning. Some of them also showed heartache after hearing what happened, and they didn't know whether to accuse Xu Minqing of negligence , Such an important manuscript was left in the academy, and they would have kept it in a treasured place. For scholars, such a precious manuscript can be used as a family heirloom.

For a moment, he scolded Lu Yunze and his henchmen in his heart. Some people dared not speak up before, but now they wish the academy would drive these dudes out. Without them, the academy would be much quieter.

"No...it's really Jiang University's handwritten copy, isn't it?" Seeing that the master's hands were trembling, the other masters waiting at the side asked tremblingly.

"The old man is so angry!" The master was so angry that his beard trembled, "Check it out, let me check it right away! This old man has to personally intervene, this kind of gentle scum must not be tolerated!"

&&&

"It's not good..." Seeing that the situation was not good, the people who stayed behind and wanted to watch the show immediately slipped over to inform Lu Yunze, and they were out of breath, "Master Lu, it's not good, the country bumpkin room There is actually a book written by Grand Scholar Jiang, no, it is a handwritten copy..." If it was the original, it would be even more sinful.

Lu Yunzhi was being waited on for snacks and tea, he wiped his mouth and raised his head indifferently, "What Jiang University scholar? Which one is Jiang University scholar?"

A bunch of scumbags are still there, waiting for the good news from the follower. Hearing what the man said, he immediately stood up in panic, and after hearing what Lu Yunze said, his eyes turned black. Compared with those wits, he is not a tool, but he has read books for so many years, but some people don't know who Jiang Dashi is.
