dressed as a scholar

When Fang Yu returned to the house, it was already dark, and he was covered with icy cold, he jumped off the carriage and trotted into the house, and when he got outside Xiaotong courtyard, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Hezhi, have you had dinner yet? "

The person who was flipping through the ledger in the room put down the work in his hand, and hurriedly got up to greet him, but he was not as fast as the person who came, so he stood up first, but the person came in first.

Qiao Hezhi said with a smile: "Why is the lord in such a hurry? Didn't you tell Zhuangzi not to eat dinner before going out today? The food has been prepared at home, and we will wait for the lord to come back."

Thinking that he was hungry, Qiao Hezhi sent his servants to serve vegetables after finishing speaking.

Fang Yu was relieved when he heard that he hadn't used it yet, and sat down on the couch and drank hot ginger tea to warm up: "At noon, there is a vegetarian feast at the Lingxuan Cave Mountain. Scholars who are acquainted with each other have to behave politely, before eating a few mouthfuls of food, they drink a lot of wine."

Qiao Hezhi listened to Fang Yu's complaints, like a child, he couldn't help laughing: "I went to Yanling Village with my father before, and the cook's skills were really mediocre. I didn't expect that after so many years, it was still the same. I also blame me If I had known that I was still the cook, I would prepare some food for the Lord first."

He comforted people again: "I went out in the morning, and happened to meet a wild hunter hunting a deer for sale. I saw that the deer's body temperature was still there, so I bought it. It was dissected in the afternoon, and I made venison meatballs and stewed tofu." , stewed deer tendon."

"Thinking that the lord likes to eat stir-fried vegetables, he even fried a stack of venison slices, and then I went back to the house, and it happened that the lord came back."

Fang Yu was overjoyed when he heard that there was venison to eat, and put down his teacup: "What kind of deer is it, and how much does it weigh?"

"It's a doe, weighing more than ten catties." Qiao Hezhi saw that he liked to hear these things, so he also chattered, "I bought it for eight taels of silver."

Fang Yu sighed after hearing the words: "The Orion has also raised prices after the end of the year."

"That's true, but don't feel bad about it, my lord. Venison is rare, unlike ordinary chicken, duck and fish, it is common sense that it is expensive, and winter meat can be stored for a long time. This deer is enough to eat for a long time, no matter it is brought It’s good for entertaining guests or making barbecue, and I also bought fruit wood, so roast venison is the most suitable time.”

Listening to this multi-party eating method, Fang Yu knew that he was lucky again, and smiled in his eyes: "You still know how to plan."

After finishing speaking, servants came into the room with dishes, and Fang Yu impatiently went to the table. After eating the venison, he didn't even rush to drink the warm soup before dinner.

The venison is lean but not greasy, and it doesn't feel fatty at all. This bite immediately made up for the emptiness in my stomach all afternoon.

"Come on, eat more after a hard day." Fang Yu picked up some vegetables for Qiao Hezhi: "I tasted this meat, it's really good. I'll make a party tomorrow to honor my wife."

"Okay, then I'll ask my servants to choose a side."

After he was full, Fang Yu had to go back to his study to finish the homework assigned, but it would be quicker if he had prepared in advance.

Qiao Hezhi followed him in the study room. Nowadays, there are new novels and food brochures in the study room. As long as he is around, he almost always comes over. In the past two days, he simply moved all the books and books he usually read. Moved to the study.

Xiao Qiao never disturbed him in the study, unless he made a noise, he was doing his own thing honestly, and he was quite used to him being guarded.

While writing the article, he gave Xiao Qiao the travel notes he wrote today to pass the time. They didn't talk until the article was finished.

"My lord has to get up early for class tomorrow, and I went out for another day in the cold today. I brought back some wormwood bags from the pharmacy in the east of the city, and I will take a hot bath later before resting."

Fang Yu put down his pen: "It's better to get rid of the cold."

He wanted to take a bath, but when he went back to the house, Qiao Hezhi knew that he wanted to take a bath and didn't like other people's service, so he didn't follow him, so he went back to Xiaotongyuan by himself.

After taking a wormwood bath, I felt comfortable all over, but Fang Yu also found that his flesh was a little loose in the white mist.

Originally, he had a thin physique, but after getting married, he didn't pay attention to body management and gained some weight. He also likes to eat. Although there is no meat on his stomach, the meat is loose when pinched. Hou never noticed it, but now he can no longer hide it.

He is also a person who pays great attention to his own image, besides, sometimes Xiao Qiao wants to sleep with him, so this will not work, he secretly made up his mind to manage his figure...

The next day, when Fang Yu arrived at the academy, he felt that it was more lively than usual at the entrance of the courtyard. This was not surprising, as we only went to the party yesterday, and we met at the academy today, so naturally we had to have a good talk.

"Do you know Liang Minxu in Master Zhang's classroom?"

"Who is it?"

"His father is Mr. Xiangshu. He often eats wine and makes friends with poetry. Two years ago, he was also praised by Xuezheng for poetry."

"He, he knows a thing or two, why?"

"Yesterday he made things difficult for his classmates and laughed at people for making fake posts. Guess what happened?"

"What's the matter, is there really someone who made a fake post to sneak in?"

"That classmate turned out to be the guest of Mr. Xuezheng... Then Liang Minxu will lose face."

Fang Yu shook his head when he heard people talking about Liang Minxu from time to time, guessing that Liang Minxu would panic when he heard it.

He was in a trance when someone came to greet him suddenly. Fang Yu looked very unfamiliar, but he also greeted politely. In the past, he came to the lecture hall alone and quietly. Today, he went all the way to land People greeted him one after another, many of whom he had never seen before, and he did not know how to know his name.

In the classroom, before he got to his seat, the classmates who had no relationship with him on weekdays immediately got up to greet and chat with him, and followed him to his seat, and everyone surrounded him: "Brother Fang, when will you Are you acquainted with Li Xuezheng's son?"

"Brother Fang, do you have any advice from famous scholars here? Bachelor Zeng admires Brother Fang a lot!"

"Yesterday, I saw Brother Fang having a very happy conversation with Young Master Ji at Lord Tong San's residence..."

Fang Yu's ears hurt from the noise, he smiled and answered the official one by one. Fortunately, he came late, and he rang the bell for class before sitting down for a while, and everyone reluctantly left.

After everyone sat down neatly, they found out that Liang Minxu had come to visit today. He heard that he had contracted a cold in Lingxuandong Mountain yesterday, and he couldn't get out of bed today, so he asked for leave.

The matter had already spread among the classmates, and everyone couldn't help laughing secretly. The typhoid fever was probably fake, but the sadness was real.

Fang Yu didn't bother to pay attention, but after thinking about it, Liang Minxu would never have the face to dance in front of him again.

During class, Fang Yu copied down the main points that he chose to record yesterday with a brush, and he patted Qiu Yanqi's back at the front desk lightly: "Brother Qiu, I wrote this down in my seat yesterday. have a look?"

Qiu Yanqi was startled when he heard the words, and quickly and cautiously took it: "I can't ask for it."

Fang Yu smiled, he was the only guest in the classroom, he was closer to the famous scholars than those outside, and he learned more things from what he heard than the outsiders, yesterday Qiu Yanqi thought it was kind of him that he didn’t have a post If you want to help him take notes, he can be regarded as giving back.

After class, he sent the venison to Mr. Zhang, who thought it was a gift, and refused to accept it since it was not a festival.

Fang Yu explained that it was venison, and the old master accepted it slightly, saying that he had a heart.

Called him again and talked a lot.

It is said that the Lingxuan Cave Mountain Tour is the last relaxation before the college quiz, and after that, it is necessary to strengthen the writing and review of homework. This time the quiz will be ranked, and the articles written will be set up next to the bulletin board of the college. Posted grade rankings and excellent articles, not only that, but also some gifts prepared by the dean.

Master Zhang praised him for his progress in writing articles, and he should perform well in the quiz.

A good result in the quiz is naturally a joy for everyone. Not only can you go back to have a good year, but also have a good face when you eat and drink with your classmates; There are already many entertainments, and if there is a lot of homework, it will be a delay for both parties.

All the students knew this truth, and they all started to study hard. Fang Yu arrived at the classroom a quarter of an hour earlier than usual. Unexpectedly, he came earlier than his classmates, and almost became the last one to arrive.

In this study atmosphere, he also found the feeling of the end of the term. These days, he does not go out to eat out, and temporarily puts his food guide and travel guide aside. He gets up early and goes to bed late to study his homework. The days pass quickly , Blink of an eye to the quiz.

This time, the examination questions were given in the courtyard. The scholar, the boy students, and the students who had no fame were tested separately. I heard that their scholar's examination questions also quoted the township examination a few years ago. The rumors were amazing, but Fang Yu didn't take it seriously. , This is also a routine that often appears in later generations, and it has long been commonplace.

On the day of the exam, poetry, scriptures, and theory and policy were tested. The subjects of the exam could not be changed. It was nothing more than making some tricks in the questions, but this time the academy's questions were not too difficult.

He buried his head in answering the questions, and passed the exams in the first two days, but there was a small episode in the third day's test theory and strategy.

In the middle of the classroom, there was only one invigilator, Mr. Dai, and someone passed by on the way, as if he was looking for the teacher in the classroom, so Mrs. Dai went to the door, but it was just a matter of turning his back. Fang Yu looked at the two people in front of him who seemed eager to try. It is to pass a note.

This scene will be familiar to future generations, but Fang Yu did not expect to see it now. The scholar who was about to receive the note saw Fang Yu straighten his neck, stared at him with his eyes pressed down, and cursed with his mouth. One sentence: what to look at.

When Fang Yu saw that the scholar was already in his thirties, he actually asked for a cheat sheet from someone who was only a weak crown. He was really moved.

"You should throw it here quickly, you are giving birth to a baby coyly!"

"Brother Zhou, I dare not, the master is at the door."

"Do you want the remaining half of the silver?"

Fang Yu lowered his eyes: Oh, it's still a money transaction.

Before he could conceive, a small ball of paper the size of a finger rolled to his feet with a slight click: "Are you stupid, where to throw it!"

"Brother Zhou...I...my hands are shaking."

The man gave the scholar a look of resentment, then turned to Yu Yu and said, "Hey, what's your name, you kick the paper ball over to me, and I'll call you to drink when the time comes."

Fang Yu glanced lazily at the man in front of him, but turned a deaf ear to him. He was not short of that meal of wine.

"I told you to take the ball of paper..."

"What are you doing!"

Before the man could finish his sentence, a voice filled with anger came from the top of his head.
