dressed as a scholar

"Master, I...I, not..."

There was movement at this end, all the examinees looked over, the scholar who passed the note was even more ashamed, his face seemed to be congested with blood, he muttered and couldn't utter a single word, and the people who watched felt annoyed.

Master Dai bent down and picked up the ball of paper on the ground, and was about to unfold it, when the elderly scholar hurriedly said: "Master, just now I saw Zhao Luo pass the note to the person behind me, I was about to admonish him, but unexpectedly, Master Dai Wisdom Eyes found them!"

The man named Zhao Luo looked at the older scholar in amazement, and was about to open his mouth, but was stared back with a fierce look, Zhao Luo lowered his head.

"You guys are so courageous to pass on the answer openly. Are you old men with dizzy eyes?"

"Which lecture hall are you from?"

Obviously this question was asked by Fang Yu, the master turned to Fang Yu, and after reading the unfolded note, his face was about to collapse on the ground.

Fang Yu was surprised why he only asked which classroom he was in, and didn't ask about the other two: "I don't know them at all, this note was passed down by the two brothers in front, and it happened to be thrown at my feet with trembling hands, I hope my master will notice it. "

"It's a coincidence that your hand is shaking. It didn't go anywhere else, but it just hit the bottom of your feet?"

Fang Yu obviously didn't believe what his master said, so he turned to look at Zhao Luo, who was in front of him, and said, "We know each other? Do you know my name? Why do you have to take the risk to pass a note to me for no reason?" ?”

That Zhao Luo raised his eyes and glanced at the older man in front of him timidly, and was flabbergasted by the menacing look. He looked at Fang Yu and stammered, "Fang, Brother Fang Yu, how can you turn your face and deny people now? Didn’t you ask me to pass the note to you yesterday? You, you said that you might not be able to distinguish the topic of the policy, so let me give you some pointers..."

Fang Yu was angry in his heart. He didn't know when Zhao Luo knew his name. He opened his answer sheet and said, "My article has already been written, so why bother to ask you again!"

Zhao Luo couldn't answer for a while, and his face turned even redder. Unexpectedly, the invigilator reprimanded Fang Yu at this moment: "I asked you which classroom you are in, but you didn't answer the question. You follow me to see the inspector!"

Fang Yu found it funny, the fact that he passed the note was nonsense, even if the master came in and picked up the ball of paper under his feet, he misunderstood, but he could explain it clearly in a few words, but he didn't expect the master to be so ignorant. Right and wrong.

If he treats unreasonable people, then there is no need for him to be reasonable, otherwise it will make people feel that he is easy to bully: "Although I have finished the essay, but going to see the patrol test at this time, won't it delay my time to answer the test?"

The master said coldly: "They all cheated, so what else to do?"

Fang Yu retorted: "This dear man insists on saying that the note was passed to me, but no matter whether it was passed to me or not, the note was taken out of his hand, and he has the established and unshirkable responsibility for cheating." .As for the man in front of me, there is also a great suspicion. Since everyone is suspected, shouldn't he also go to see the inspection tour? Why did the master ask me to go alone?"

"It's not passed on to me! Why do you want me to go? It's you two who want to go!" The older man yelled: "Master told you to go alone. There is a reason for Master. If you don't go, you will be disrespectful to your elders. Staying in the examination room is delaying all students from answering the questions."

Fang Yu sorted out his essays unhurriedly: "If you want to go, you can go there. It's good to go to the inspection tour so that you can have a debate. But if you want me to go alone, I will make it clear that I will not go. !"

The master didn't seem to have expected to meet a strong man, looking at a very modest and gentle person, but he could speak so coldly.

"Master Dai, what happened?"

Just when the scene was at a stalemate, Fang Yu poked his head in at the door, and Fang Yu went away after hearing the sound. Unexpectedly, the patrolman came here by himself, and the patrolman turned out to be the serious Mr. Zhang in their classroom.

Master Dai heard the sound and said quickly: "There is a student who cheated and refused to admit it. I am dealing with it."

Naturally, Mr. Zhang saw Fang Yu at a glance. He walked into the classroom pretending not to know him, and saw that everyone was watching the commotion, and said sharply: "You all answer the questions carefully, don't look around, you have the skills. You might as well think about other people's gossip, and save yourself being laughed at during the New Year's Eve."

Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads to write their own articles. It is well known that Mr. Zhang is strict, and everyone dared not make mistakes. They all held their breath, for fear that they would be scolded after the exam. When a student comes, it doesn't matter whether the person is a student taught by himself or not.

"Since you've been caught cheating, how can you argue? What's the situation?" Zhang Fuzi looked at Fang Yu: "You cheated? Did you get caught or did you do something?"

Fang Yu rushed to explain the situation before Master Dai. After listening to Master Zhang, his brows were locked, and he stepped forward to look at the names of the first two candidates in front of him: "Zhao Luo, Yuan Hongqiang."

Master Zhang looked at Master Dai again. Although he didn't say anything, Master Dai shrank his shoulders unnaturally.

"Since all three are suspected, they should all be taken to the dean."

Master Dai became anxious when he heard the words, and said: "Why do you take it to the dean, you don't need to bother the dean with such trivial matters."

"Cheating is such a trivial thing, it's just pure cheating, but now you still refuse to admit to cheating, and more troubles are involved, then the matter is serious."

Mrs. Zhang said with a cold face, "You three bring the article and follow me to the dean's place."

Master Dai's complexion was not very good, but he still bowed: "Then I will trouble Master Zhang."

"Master Dai, you are welcome."

The three examinees left the examination room together with Master Zhang. Fang Yu held his essay openly, but it made things difficult for the other two.Zhao Luo didn't expect that things would come to the dean, and he kept shrinking. Yuan Hongqiang lost his momentum just now, and walked in a muffled voice.

Fang Yu was afraid that the two of them would collude again and say something unwarranted, so he walked between them with a slight smile.

Soon he arrived at the dean's room, and two scholars with unhappy faces came out first.

"Okay, I just left two and then came three again. You guys are trying to drive me to death! You don't have to be good at academics, but your morals will also be bad. After you leave the academy, don't say you're from Hudson College. Students, I am ashamed!"

Before asking about the situation, the old dean scolded angrily: "Tell me, what's going on? Is it because I really want to get a good grade in the exam so that my mother at home can rest assured, or if I can't get a good grade in the exam this time? Dad will break his leg when he returns with his grades?"

Fang Yu suppressed a smile, the excuses made up by the students who cheated this year are very good, the excuses of the later generations who were caught cheating are honest and honest, I didn't expect to make up such excuses.

The three of them knew that this was an angry remark from the dean, and none of them took up the conversation.It was Master Zhang who explained the situation truthfully, and then said: "I didn't want to bother the principal, but these two are students of Master Dai, and the other is my student. It is difficult for Master Dai and I to handle this matter." , It still depends on the dean's decision."

As soon as these words came out, the three of them were a little surprised, but they didn't expect that there was such a connection in it.

"Okay! One by one!" The dean angrily pointed at the three of them with trembling fingers: "Cheating is going to be framed!"

Seeing that the dean took over the matter, Mrs. Zhang glanced at Fang Yu and left the dean's room.

It took a while for the dean to recover, and he let the three of them hang out for a while, his eyes wandering back and forth from the three of them, it felt like a needle prick.

After a while, he changed from a strict teacher who hated iron to steel to a loving teacher: "Zhao Luo, I recognize you. You did well in the quiz last time, and the article is still posted on the bulletin board. What's the matter, the results So I confidently started to pass the note to others. I am so anxious to help my classmates? Good academic performance is not for you to use it like this. Just be honest, who is the note to be passed on? I will trust you in the end If you lie again, you will cancel the chance of your article being published on the bulletin board again."

Hearing these words, Zhao Luo, who had been stared at by the dean for a long time, was psychologically broken and was coerced and lured by such punishment. The two were fighting, and cried out at once: "Dean, it's Yuan Hongqiang! He paid me a tael of silver to pass the note to him, and I said cheating is not allowed, but he said that if I don’t pass it to him, he will find someone to block me... Dean, I didn’t mean to frame Fang Yu, really I'm afraid of Yuan Hongqiang, I'm not familiar with Fang Yu at all, I just met him at the Xuezheng party and heard his name..."

Fang Yu has also truly experienced what it means to be afraid of being famous and afraid of being strong.

He shook his head leisurely, Zhao Luo has the guts to have such an idea, so why bother to lie, he can just say no sooner, and he insists on making a fuss to the dean.

"You!" Yuan Hongqiang clenched his fists angrily when he saw that Zhao Luo had completely uttered the words.

"What's the matter, you dare to threaten your classmates in front of this old man! How did you teach you on weekdays? You don't put your mind on the scientific exam, and you think about these crooked ways. Is the quiz just for you to cheat! That's I want you to adapt to the scientific examination as soon as possible!"

After the dean burst into anger, he saw Yuan Hongqiang's face was ashen when he was scolded, so he took a break and smiled gently at Fang Yu: "Fang Xiaoyou, you have been wronged and wronged by this incident, and it has delayed a lot of answering questions. Shi Chen, but don't worry, you can finish writing the essay on my side, so you don't have to worry about the exam time."

Fang Yu saluted the dean respectfully: "It's okay, the dean, I've already finished the essay." He didn't want to delay here, he was still in a hurry to leave after the exam.

"Oh? Already finished?"

Fang Yu handed over the article he had brought, and Zhao Luo confessed the truth as soon as he was timid and pressed him. He thought the article he brought would not be useful, but he did not expect it to come in handy.

The dean took it and watched it all the way, stroked his beard, and gradually stretched his eyebrows and eyes: "Not bad, not bad! Fang Yu... Hey, why didn't I remember it before, it doesn't make sense."

Fang Yu said politely: "It was ineffective at first, but thanks to Master Zhang's careful teaching, it has made some progress."

"Master Zhang is a good teacher, he is a good and motivated boy."

After complimenting Fang Yu, the dean turned to look at the other two. He wasn't that angry at first, but now he was pointed at: "It's really shameless! Fang Xiaoyou's article is outstanding, you have the nerve to plant him on the head! I'm blushing for you! Why don't you hurry up and apologize!"

Zhao Luo was timid, trembling, and apologized to Fang Yu first, but Yuan Hongqiang was so stubborn that he refused to speak.

"Yuan Hongqiang, since you don't want to talk, then go back and invite your old father over so that I can have a chat with him. I think he should be more talkative than you."

Hearing this, Yuan Hongqiang was dumbfounded, his parents would blush when he was invited, and it would be no wonder if he invited his old father to him at such an old age.Seeing this, he quickly spoke soft words to the dean: "Dean, my father is old and has trouble moving. How can I call him here? I will apologize to Fang Yu."

"Student Fang, it's my fault, it's all my fault, don't take it to heart if you don't remember the villain's faults! You want me to be like a bull or a horse to you."

Fang Yu sneered: "Student Yuan is very useless."

The two parties also apologized. The follow-up treatment is the dean's business. Even the matter of inviting the parents of students in their thirties can be done. Fang Yu thought that the result of the treatment would not be biased, so he was "released without charge" Before leaving, the dean still reluctantly praised him for his excellent writing, so he wanted to praise him with Mr. Zhang, and let him go to his dean's room to have tea alone when he was free.

Fang Yu wanted to say that there was absolutely no need. Anyone who wanted to go to the dean's room for tea sounded suffocated. He left respectfully and went out. Before taking a few strides, he bumped into Master Zhang who was waiting for him at the corner.

He hurriedly saluted, Master Zhang saw that he came out calmly, and his face became less tense.

"Zhao Luo is Mr. Dai's favorite student. He didn't handle this matter well. Don't take it to heart because it disturbs your mood of studying because of this matter in your heart. If you encounter such a thing again in the future, come here Tell me."

Fang Yu's heart felt hot, Master Zhang was always strict, but now that he said such comforting words, everyone would have different emotions in his heart, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master."

"Go."

The exam came to an end in this little episode. Fang Yu returned to the exam room, but the other two did not come back. Naturally, everyone knew what was going on, so they looked at Master Dai more. A layer of sophistication.

Seeing Fang Yu, Master Dai only covered his mouth and coughed dryly twice, but didn't say anything. He stood at the door for the rest of the invigilation time, as if he had lost his face in the examination room.

After ringing the bell, Yu left the academy non-stop. The exam was over, and it was time for Xiaonian. The results would be released in a few days, and all the students would come to the academy to check.

The students in the academy filed out, and Fang Yu caught sight of Xiao Qiao who was waiting for him outside early in the morning, smiled and waved.

In the past two days, several shops in the family have paid their bills. Fang Yu has a little more money now. He and Xiao Qiao made an appointment to go to the horse dealer in the city to buy a horse together after the exam today.

Fang Yu was quite looking forward to it. He had been wanting to practice riding for a long time. Now that the exams were over, he had time to train horses and exercise his body.

"How did you do in the exam? Is the topic difficult?"

Seeing Fang Yu coming out, Qiao Hezhi couldn't wait to ask about the situation.

"Fortunately, it's not difficult."

Seeing that he was so confident, Qiao Hezhi felt relieved.

There is no special horse farm on this side of Yuncheng, and the horses are all brought in from other places.

Fang Yu and Qiao Hezhi walked around the horse dealership for a while, and they saw a strong black horse. When the horse dealer caught them, they bragged for a while, saying that it was one of the best horses in the horse dealership, that he had a good eye, and so on. It's quite exciting, but the price is more than thirty taels when asked.

Fang Yu had known that horses were more expensive than people, but Fang Yu never thought that they would be so expensive.

Although there is spare money nowadays, it is also beyond the budget, Fang Yu patted the horse and hesitated.

Qiao Hezhi on the side looked at the horses but felt that the qualifications of the horses in the horse shop were average. He could go back and ask his father to bring back two good horses from a place rich in horses when he went out to do business. But Fang Yu was anxious to ride a horse and probably couldn't wait. , Buying a horse here and letting him ride it first is cheaper than the horses in this horse shop.

He was about to make a decision, but Fang Yu changed his mind and asked for a short and thin brown horse. He was startled for a moment, and persuaded: "This horse doesn't look very energetic, let's take the previous one."

"Left and right learn to ride first. It's okay to buy a horse with average qualifications. I'll change to a better one later."

"Originally the horses here are very ordinary, how can I ask for an ordinary one." Qiao Hezhi took out the money: "I want the black one."

Fang Yu grabbed Qiao Hezhi's hand, and Qiao Hezhi whispered, "My private money."

Fang Yu shook his head, of course he also wanted something good, but his own financial strength did not allow him, he had already made up his mind not to eat soft food, even if Xiao Qiao was fed to his mouth, it would not work, a man must do what he says.

Seeing that he insisted, Qiao Hezhi had no choice but to give up, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, why are you so clear about me.

Fang Yu endured tears and paid 20 taels. It is no wonder that aristocratic gentlemen are good at the six arts, but ordinary people are not good at it, because they simply do not have enough family conditions to learn.

But no matter what, he finally got a horse, and Fang Yu also went to one thing in his heart. He couldn't wait to ride a lap on the street, but after all, he didn't have much experience before, and riding a horse in a busy city was too dangerous. It is suitable for novices, so I asked the servants to lead the horse back first.

After leaving the horse shop, Qiao Hezhi simply asked his servants to drive the carriage away. He still wanted to go for a walk with Fang Yu on the street. Although riding in a carriage was warm and convenient, Fang Yu would take him by the hand when there were many people on the street. Walking, comparing hatchbacks, naturally walking is better.

Fang Yu didn't know that he had so many thoughts, and indeed he led him away as he wished. In Fang Yu's perception, when he is away from home, he should be led by his side, let alone his wife.

Qiao Hezhi leaned on Fang Yu and swept away the unhappiness just now: "There are green shredded vegetables in front, do you want to try it?"

"Green shredded vegetables?" Fang Yu followed the sound and looked. The place Qiao Hezhi mentioned was a small stall with carts. There were still many people gathered in front of the stall. It seemed that the business was good: "Go and have a look."

After walking in for a look, Fang Yu realized that the so-called green shredded vegetables were actually leeks, because the new leeks that grow after being cut off are tender and soft, much like a woman's hair, so she got such a beautiful taste. name.

On the small stall, scrambled eggs with chives are used as fillings, and then wrapped in dough like dumplings and baked in a pan. Some are like leek boxes.

Fang Yu asked for two, but was stopped by Qiao Hezhi: "One is enough, I can't eat two, and the time for dinner is not far away."

It would be great to save money, Fang Yu nodded: "Let's eat together."

Fang Yu wanted to give half of the green shredded vegetable cake to Xiao Qiao, but the freshly baked one was very hot, and the stuffing inside was easy to spill out, so he blew it and gave Xiao Qiao a bite before eating himself.

"The leeks in this small stall are really tender, and they should be made from fresh leeks. They are thoughtful. The oil is also willing to put in, and the dough is crispy."

Qiao Hezhi held Fang Yu's arm, and the two discussed as they walked: "There are several small stalls in the city that make green shredded vegetables, but the taste still belongs to this one, and the price is also affordable. Each one is only ten yuan, which is cheaper than other stalls. It's worth a penny or two."

"An ordinary man would be full after eating one, it's really good." Qiao Hezhi gave Qiao Hezhi the green silk cake, took out a notebook from his sleeve, and wrote down the small stall called Ahu Qingsi cake.

"I figured out that there are nearly ten food records from stalls and restaurants, which are enough to be published in tea shops."

Qiao Hezhi said: "Could it be too little?"

"Quite a lot. It will be updated every ten days or so. What we recorded earlier is enough to send out twice. If you have time, ask someone from the bookstore to print the booklet."

Qiao Hezhi didn't quite understand Fang Yu's arrangement, but he was quite looking forward to it. He turned his head and saw that the people Fang Yu recommended to Ahu Qingsi cake stand were men. , it is actually the food of choice for men...

"Why is it recommended for men to eat? Is it because it is affordable enough?"

Fang Yu laughed. Leek is also called Taitai Le in later generations, and he was just joking: "Children, don't ask too many questions."

"Who is the child, I'm already married."

Qiao Hezhi frowned and wanted to ask, but was interrupted by a voice.

"cousin!"

The two turned their heads at the same time when they heard the sound, Fang Yu thought that he would hear someone calling him that again, and there was only one person. He was surprised that the words were so straightforward last time, how could this girl still pester her.

"Is something wrong?"

When Yin Rao'er came out of the peel shop, she bumped into the two people who were friendly and friendly, chatting and joking, even eating the same green shredded vegetable cake, not only her, but passers-by on the street couldn't help but look sideways.

She didn't want to say hello at first, but since her face was already torn apart, she was going to marry into a big family in a neighboring village as the main wife, so she could have nothing to do with Fang Yu forever, but she really couldn't swallow the pain in her heart.

Although she looked down on Fang Yu's cowardice and obeyed Chen's temper in everything back then, even though he tried to please her in every possible way, she didn't pay much attention to him, but she just thought that he was a scholar, if she couldn't find a better one Husband's house is also a good way out, never thought that he would change his mind halfway.

Then because of her new husband, it was Chen who dared to contradict, and their family's land had to be taken back. Seeing that all this was done for her in the past, but now it is for another person, she is really not reconciled.

"I have two words that I want to say to my cousin alone."

Yin Rao'er opened her big eyes and looked at Fang Yu innocently.

Fang Yu was troubled in his heart: "If you have anything, you can say it here."

"Cousin really wants me to say it here?" Yin Rao'er looked at Qiao Hezhi in embarrassment: "I'm afraid my sister-in-law will misunderstand."

Qiao Hezhi felt a little uncomfortable: "Why don't I avoid it for a while."

Fang Yu grabbed Qiao Hezhi's hand: "No need."

Yin Raoer took a cold breath in her heart, but she still had a lovely and pitiful look on her face. With a heartbroken heart, she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, gently opened it and handed it to Fang Yu: "Cousin, this is the handkerchief you gave earlier." With my hairpin, I know that my cousin has a deep love for me, but my father's life is really hard to break, I... I want to get engaged, so I will return this to my cousin, and this life will be like a destiny..."

After finishing speaking, Yin Rao'er stuffed the hairpin into Fang Yu's hand, covered her tears and ran away.

"Hey, you!"

Fang Yu's pupils were shocked, and when he came back to his senses, everyone ran away. This was the first time he suffered from such a dumb loss. He was the one who made people speechless back then. How did he know that this little girl had such a skill? , he felt very hot while holding the hairpin, and was thinking about how to explain it to Qiao Hezhi, but Qiao Hezhi picked up the hairpin first.

"This jade hairpin..." Qiao Hezhi looked at Fang Yu, and his heart twisted into a ball: "I thought it was a newly bought servant whose hands and feet were not clean. It has been a long time, but I never thought that the master gave it to the cousin girl... "

Qiao Hezhi's mood was as if he had climbed a peak and fell into a valley. He was shocked that Yin Rao'er was engaged to another marriage, and he never thought that Fang Yu would... His heart was in a mess.

Fang Yu was even more shocked!

He wanted to explain, but he couldn't explain, the original body actually stole Qiao Hezhi's things to give to Yin Rao'er, it really caused him trouble, and didn't give him a chance to frankly argue.He looked at Qiao Hezhi with a guilty conscience. If he said that he didn't do it, it would be a little pale, after all, the things are really held here.

"I……"

Qiao Hezhi stared at Fang Yu, wanting to wait for him to speak to comfort him, even if it was just a non-painful sentence: It's okay to just take it to her because he saw the hairpin looks good.

It can be seen that Fang Yu's expression is quite complicated and he can't speak. If he wants to divorce him, he will definitely be unbearable and even don't want to live. Thinking about his emotions before such an accident, it's not a big deal.

Suppressing the sadness in his heart, he squeezed Fang Yu's palm, and asked cautiously: "Is it because the cousin girl doesn't want her to come to Fang's house as a concubine, or...or is it because it took too long to wait? "
