dressed as a scholar

Qiao Hezhi calmed down, seeing that it was already dark outside, and he didn't know what was going on with Fang Yu.

He was secretly annoyed, annoyed at why he was so rude today, and annoyed that since he had already made up his mind to see Fang Yu and then went back on his word, he was so unprincipled right now, and in the future it would be Fang Yu who coaxed him or something. What.

Seeing what time it was, no one came back, or sent someone to say hello.

The incident happened suddenly today, and I didn't carefully discern whether what Fang Yu said was true or not, so I just followed him and was placed in the house. I only blame myself for being too soft-hearted.

Just when he was troubled, the door creaked open, and Si Yu hurried into the room with a smile on her face and said, "My lord, my lord invites you to have dinner!"

Qiao Hezhi tilted his head: "About me to eat? Where to eat, but Longevity Hall. Biao girl stayed?"

"I heard that they stayed, but the lord asked the young master to go to Mucang Xiaoxie."

"Go there..." Qiao Hezhi muttered to himself, Fang Yu lived in the main house, and there was a reception and dining room at the other end. He thought he was staying with Yin Rao'er for dinner, but he just ate together in the Longevity Hall. But Yu used the big dining room, which is enough to show how much he attaches importance to Yin Rao'er.

He was disappointed, but he still stood up: "Let's go."

At the other end of the yard, the servants led him straight into the house, where meals had already been set up in the living room connecting the bedroom.

"Come here?" Fang Yu saw someone, and cleaned his hands: "Come on, wash your hands first, and then eat."

Qiao Hezhi looked around suspiciously: "Why are you not in the main hall? Where are the mother-in-law and the cousin girl?"

"The two of us don't need to eat in the main hall, and the other end is not as warm as the bedroom." Fang Yu said: "Mother and cousin eat in the Longevity Hall by themselves."

"How do they..."

"They haven't seen each other for a long time, let them talk, and we won't bother you." Fang Yu urged people: "Wash your hands and eat, I'm hungry."

Three dishes and one soup are prepared on the table, a stewed pork belly, a stewed dish, and a vegetarian dish. The soup is made tofu ball soup.

The portions of the dishes were not large, and Fang Yu went to the kitchen to tell them. Originally, Yin Raoer stayed overnight today, and the food bought at home was more abundant than usual, including chicken, duck and fish, but Fang Yu felt that there was no need for such a good meal. Just send it according to the usual standard. The two of them probably don't have much mood at night. They can't eat much, and the rest is really a waste.

And he felt that dinner should not be used too much, let alone at home, eating it without doing a few exercises to digest it, so it should be as simple as possible.

He saw that Qiao Hezhi seemed to be in a bad mood, as if he hadn't recovered from the afternoon's affairs, so he picked up the topic.

"The dishes you sent to the academy today are very good. When I was eating in the cafeteria, I even attracted a schoolmate to discuss the dishes together."

Hearing this, Qiao Hezhi wiped his hands from Yusi Yu, sat down on the stool in front of the table, and twitched his brows slightly: "Don't be kidding me."

"How come, Xueyou praised me very much. If he hadn't prepared enough meals, he would have eaten them all by himself. He even asked me where to hire a cook."

Qiao Hezhi was affirmed, so he couldn't help but chuckled for a moment: "My lord, did a fellow book friend introduce that the cook was hired at Hufengjing."

Fang Yu paused when he heard the words, and then remembered that Qiao Hezhi belonged to Fengjing Qiao's family in Yuncheng Lake, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that the Qiao family in Hufengjing only educated one person who is good at making soup, and others can't invite them even if they want to."

Qiao Hezhi pursed his lips and smiled even more.

The two talked about the food again, and the atmosphere became more harmonious: "My mother is also good at cooking soup. Tomorrow, I will send someone to go back early to report and ask my mother to prepare some good food and wine."

"Really? But wouldn't this bother your mother?"

Qiao Hezhi said: "Why, I haven't eaten the dishes cooked by my mother for a long time. If I go back with the lord, even if I don't pass it on in advance, she will be happy to cook by herself."

"Then I'm lucky again." Fang Yu arranged shamelessly: "Then don't bother to cook with me for lunch tomorrow. I'll eat more at night with an empty stomach."

Hearing the meaning of this, it was a certainty that Fang Yu would follow him back to her mother's house, Qiao Hezhi frowned to hide the smile in front of her eyes: "Yi lord means that."

The two ate in silence, Qiao Hezhi was in a relieved mood, and wanted to ask about the Longevity Hall, but he didn't know how to ask. Seeing that Fang Yu was concentrating on eating, he simply began to eat honestly.

I didn't have much lunch when I came back at noon, and I was tossing around in the Longevity Hall in the afternoon, so I was really hungry.

After the meal, the servants removed the dinner plate and brought up two plates of fruit after the meal. Fang Yu peeled two grapefruits and put them on the plate and pushed them to Qiao Hezhi. Then he talked about the afternoon: "I have wronged you today, I have already talked to my mother, and I think I will not make it difficult for you in the future. If she is like this again, you don’t have to give up too much and bear it yourself. You can refute her or tell me.”

Hearing this, Qiao Hezhi felt a warm current in his heart. Fang Yu had already stood by his side more than once or twice, and some of his original temper disappeared long ago after being comforted like this, and he even felt a little more guilty: " I also made many mistakes today, and I will be cautious in my words and deeds in the future."

"You are already very careful, you don't have to. I just hope you can treat this place as your own and don't restrict yourself so much."

Qiao Hezhi clenched his fingers: "Thank you, Lord, for your understanding."

Fang Yu laughed and patted Qiao Hezhi on the head: "Thank you for what I did, I should have defended you."

Qiao Hezhi took a deep look at Fang Yu. Even though he had a thousand words to say, he didn't know how to say them. Instead, his throat got stuck and he choked and felt uncomfortable.

"Okay, I have to go to the study to review my homework, so I won't be idle." Fang Yu stood up: "By the way, I remember that you also like to read some books. There are many books in the study. If you are idle If you feel like you’re going to have a long night of sleepless nights, can you go and have a look?”

Qiao Hezhi stood up with Fang Yu: "I, can I go in? I mean, will it disturb the master's study?"

"How come. If you want to go, go."

Qiao Hezhi naturally didn't want to miss it, so he followed Fang Yu, and the two of them entered the study together. At that moment, the stove was already lit inside, and the room was very warm.

Fang Yu went to the bookshelf and rummaged for a while, trying to find a book suitable for Qiao Hezhi to read. After flipping through it, he found some classics and essays, but suddenly lost his mind: "None of them are good books to pass the time. , It’s very difficult to chew, and when I have free time, go out and find a few small books and come back.”

Qiao Hezhi really didn't like reading these books, but he didn't want to leave the study, so he said, "I can also read some poetry books."

"Then you can pick up what you like."

"Ah."

Fang Yu sat down in front of his long table and spread out the paper. He didn't plan to review any homework. The master didn't leave homework today. He wanted to draw drawings in this spare time, so he focused on drawing today's class Ideas when writing troubles...

Qiao Hezhi wandered around in front of the bookshelf for a long time, picked out a book of poems and Fu, and looked at it for a while. He sneaked a glimpse of Fang Yu writing and drawing on the paper with a thin charcoal stick for a long time. I never looked up, I don't know what tricks I'm doing.

He got up from the small table and walked around, hesitantly wanted to sit next to Fang Yu, but he didn't want to go there blatantly, and wanted to sit down by looking at the drawings, but before he could get shy, Fang Yu saw him approaching Then he moved around and left a piece of land for him.

Qiao Hezhi pursed his lips and smiled secretly, then tilted his head and asked, "What is the master painting?"

"Drawing, come, let me introduce you."

"The triangular one is called the pen nib. The shortest square one is the cap, the second is the barrel, and the longest is the pen case." Fang Yu pointed to the drawing and said, "It's too cold to touch the pen with ink in winter, and it's inconvenient. To carry it, I thought that if there was a simple pen, about two inches long, wouldn’t it be very convenient to carry it in my pocket and take it out for use at any time.”

"Master Miao Si." Qiao Hezhi listened with gusto, but also questioned: "But even if you carry it in your pocket, you still have to bring ink."

Fang Yu explained: "Look at the nib of the pen cap I drew and the ink storage tube. When the time comes, the tube will be filled with ink and connected to the nib. You only need to hold the pen at an angle to write. The nib will crack slightly under pressure and the ink will flow out. In this way, you don’t need to bring your own ink. Of course, this is just one of them. I also drew another one, the principle is similar, but the nib is thinner, and it is placed in the pen barrel with a spring. When using it, press the tail , the tip of the pen will drill out, which is more convenient.”

Qiao Hezhi watched Fang Yu describe to him vividly how to use his simple pen, as if he had really used it.

Fang Yu sighed again after the introduction: "Although the thing is good, I just don't know if it can be made."

Qiao Hezhi said: "Since the blueprints have been drawn, it must not be difficult to make them. Why don't you take the drawn blueprints and ask uncle, maybe he can make them."

Fang Yu said pleasantly: "I almost forgot that your uncle is a craftsman with a work permit."

"I'll bring the blueprints with me when I go back tomorrow. My uncle's house is not far from home. When the time comes, I invite my uncle to have a quick meal and ask how to make it."

"That's great!"

Fang Yu wanted to find a craftsman, so he drew several alternatives. The tube for storing ink was sucked by hand, and a tube was placed on the buttocks to absorb ink... He drew them together on the paper, fine and smooth Look forward to doing at least the same thing.

The two of them sang in harmony here, warm and harmonious, but there was no peace at the other end of the Longevity Hall.

Yin Rao'er had suffered so much from Fang Yu today, she wanted to intercede with Fang Yu at night, but she came to Mu Cang Xiaoxie's side and wanted to go to the study, but she was stopped by Xuezhu who had already confessed to her. After crying in vain, he went to look for Mrs. Chen angrily, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Mrs. Qian. He came out and blew the cold wind for half an hour, but he didn't see anyone.

She was flustered and cold, seeing that she might lose the backing of the Fang family, and wanted to go back overnight to discuss countermeasures with her family, but she was guarded by her servants and refused to let her out of the house. boil.

And the Chen family, who was only a few floors away from her, was not much better. Fang Yu's few irrelevant words suddenly made her feel at a loss, and she didn't even have a meal at night, and she looked worried.

Mrs. Chen didn't believe Fang Yu's words in her heart, the person who could eat and laugh was clearly his son, there was no doubt about it.But she was also puzzled. Since Fang Yu fell into the water, she was really different from before. Her words and deeds had changed a lot, and she couldn't find a suitable explanation.

Speaking of falling into the water, she couldn't help complaining about Yin Rao'er, if it wasn't for that girl, how could her son go to the village, and such a disaster happened, no one came to inquire after the accident, thinking about buying cloth now After coming to their house, this girl deserved to be rejected.

Mrs. Chen was preoccupied, could it be that she was quiet and silent, she lay down on the bed early, and didn't drag the servant woman to talk, just thinking over and over like that.The servants felt that today was a bit strange, thinking that Qiao Hezhi had made a lot of noise, but she didn't make a fuss, and everyone was at ease, and no one stepped forward to make fun of themselves.

The next day, Fang Yu finished washing, and according to the old calendar, he was about to go to the Longevity Hall to pay respects to the Chen family. Instead, the servants of the Longevity Hall came to report first, saying that the Chen family had left the house early in the morning, and Yin Rao'er also bought it from the Fang family. At dawn, he returned to the village in the family's carriage.

"Mother arranged the carriage for her?"

Xue Zhu said: "Miss Biao asked for it herself. When she was about to leave, the old lady had already left the house. I wanted to ask Miss Biao to tell the lord anyway, but her eyes were swollen as big as walnuts, and she said she was ashamed to see her." Lord."

Fang Yu sneered and said: "She is embarrassed to see me, but she is embarrassed to take advantage of the Fang family. Let her go, and I will go to the village after a while, but mother, he, an old lady, has nothing to do so early What are you going to do?"

"My little one went to inquire about it, but I don't know whether it's the strict tone at the Longevity Hall, or the servants don't know what the old lady is going to do when she goes out, so they didn't ask anything, only that the old lady brought Mrs. Qian out. .”

Fang Yu pondered for a moment, then hooked Xuezhu's hand: "You listen to me, and I will explain a few words to you."
