dressed as a scholar

The days went on like this, Fang Yu felt as if everything had changed, but also as if nothing had changed.

The family is still the same. Chen spends most of his time nestling in her yard for the elderly, and he doesn’t dare to lash out at him and Qiao Hezhi when things don’t go his way. He likes to reprimand and take down others and lose his temper when there is nothing wrong. However, he went out more often, as for Qiao Hezhi...

He didn't deliberately hide from him, and he saw him every day. The two of them still talked, and it seemed the same to outsiders, but Fang Yu knew in his heart that the two were not as close as before.

Ever since he confessed to him, Qiao Hezhi always looked at him secretly. He had to look at him secretly when he entered and left the house, when he passed by the ancestral hall, and what he wore on his body. The peace talisman that Shi asked the wizard to come to his house was also taken back.

It was obviously what he liked to tie on him before.

That's all, the most outrageous thing is yesterday, he wanted to eat garlic pork ribs, so he ordered the cook to make it. , Fang Yu thought about peeling two of them, but before he got the garlic, Qiao Hezhi fiercely took them all away. I don't know if he didn't want him to eat ribs or something made him dissatisfied.

There are more than one or two of these things... Doing these things now is quite like trying to get rid of him. Naturally, he feels a little uncomfortable in his heart, but it doesn't help. Throat.

Fang Yu thought, Xiao Qiao should still be a little afraid of him, otherwise why would this be the case.Thinking of such a possibility, he didn't dare to go up to him deliberately, just to make fun of himself.

Today is the new year, the city is full of festive Chinese New Year, there are lights and festoons everywhere, red lanterns are hung everywhere, and there are many people in the market, and the noise of the market can be heard through several large walls Voice.

The house is very messy, they are all cleaning up, and the maids and servants are busy with smoke from the soles of their feet.

"These firecrackers are taken back. If the store refuses to change them, they will be stored in the warehouse. They are not allowed to be released during the New Year. There are also these door god statues, which will not be posted this year. They will all be replaced with festive couplets."

"Why don't you set off firecrackers and don't stick to the goalkeeper?"

Fang Yu was going to the academy today to check his grades and had to collect his master's homework. He was thinking of saying hello to Qiao Hezhi when he went out and saw someone scolding his servants in the yard.

Qiao Hezhi glanced at Fang Yu, thinking why this person is so ignorant. Others don't understand why he doesn't stick to the door god. How could he not understand it in his heart, and he asked so openly, for fear that others would not know: "Since , It has its own reasons for not sticking."

Fang Yu didn't know what Qiao Hezhi was thinking, and thought he didn't want to talk to him, so he said, "Well, it's all up to you. I'm going to the academy, you..."

He wanted to ask him if he wanted to go with him. Family members can also enter the academy after seeing the results today, but seeing him busy with other things and alienating him, he must be unwilling to go with him, and he can't send people away. It's too tight.

"Ok?"

"Don't work too hard at home. If you have anything to do, let the servants do it."

Qiao Hezhi nodded. Seeing him striding towards the academy, he seemed a little unhappy, presumably because he was worried that he would not pass the exam.

"Si Yu, when Xue Zhu and the lord come back later, go and inquire about the lord's grades."

"Why don't you ask the lord directly?"

"My lord loves face. If I don't pass the exam, I'll ask him if he's in trouble? How could he be willing to tell me?"

"That's right, the maidservant took it down."

The academy was busier than usual today, it was still early, the courtyard was full of people, the young scholars were followed by their parents and brothers, many older scholars brought their wives and husbands, and they formed pairs everywhere. There are more pairs than there are marks on the test paper.

Fang Yu was deflated and squeezed in from the crowd with a sad face.

"Brother Fang, congratulations!"

"I didn't expect Brother Fang to hide his secrets. Now he can give our classroom a sigh of relief."

As soon as Fang Yu entered the academy, many scholars surrounded him, some with knowledge and some without.

"What's the matter?"

Qiu Yanqi took the lead and said: "Brother Fang just came, haven't you checked the quiz list on the bulletin board?"

Fang Yu also said sincerely: "I haven't had time to see it yet."

"Brother Fang, go and have a look. This time, Brother Fang is ranked in the top ten, and the article is posted in the most prominent place. People around are talking about it." Qiu Yan laughed, his words were full of envy: "Even Mrs. Zhang also said that this time Brother Fang has grown up."

Fang Yu was in a daze, and before he could fully focus on the grades, he was dragged to the bulletin board by someone in the classroom.

"Give it up, let it go, how long have you been watching it, and you haven't seen your grades yet. Fang Yu in our classroom also depends on his grades."

"Fang Yu is in your classroom?"

"No, the Lord is right here."

Fang Yu gave a dry laugh, these students, he was more excited than himself when he saw the results. The most crowded one in the academy forced a way out before the examination censors. He went in and looked up, densely packed. is the candidate's name and grade.

"Brother Fang, you only need to look at the front, not the back."

"Oh." Fang Yu smiled, but no, Zuo Fang looked first, and saw his name at a glance, and he was ranked third: "I see."

"Look again, your article is posted in the best position in the middle of the field of view." The classmate whispered: "I heard that the dean posted it himself. Because of that, the dean has nothing to do with Mr. Dai now." Good face."

Fang Yu was really surprised when he heard the news. He glanced at the classmates beside him: "How do you know?"

"Brother Fang is referring to the cheating on the last day of the exam?" Qiu Yanqi said: "This incident is spreading in the academy, everyone wants to see Zhao Luo's joke today, it is the pride of Master Dai's hands Student, Master Dai boasted a lot about him on weekdays, but he didn't take the rest of the masters seriously. Now that this kind of thing happened, everyone was thinking that the students in Master Dai's classroom had repeatedly achieved good grades, but they didn't know Did Mr. Dai cover it up, now Zhao Luo is hiding in the classroom and dare not come out."

"At present, there are also top three students in our classroom. Mr. Zhang looks more ruddy than usual today."

Fang Yu smiled and said modestly: "It's just a quiz. I can't do much. I just got lucky this time and happened to meet a topic I'm good at. If I get good grades in the local exam, then I really have some skills."

"It's nice of you to think so."

As soon as Fang Yu finished speaking, he saw Mrs. Zhang walking over, stroking his beard. The old master who had been sullen for a hundred years showed a rare smile today.

Everyone respectfully called Master, and Fang Yu was no exception. Seeing that Master was in a good mood today, everyone began to be bold: "Master, you see that Fang Yu did so well in the exam this time. Can the homework for the annual leave be a little looser?"

"Every one of them thinks well. That's Fang Yu's outstanding performance in the exam. Look at how you guys did in the exam. You still want to slack off during the annual vacation."

Master Zhang held his hands behind his back, walked forward with his head held high and his chest held high: "Fang Yu's can be relaxed, and the rest of them can do it by themselves."

Everyone complained endlessly, but they all laughed and followed the master back to the classroom.

Liang Minxu in the crowd glanced at Fang Yu, who happened to be seen by Fang Yu too. Their eyes met, Liang Minxu lowered his head in desperation, and quickly got into the crowd.

Fang Yu also returned to the classroom, and then went through the same procedures as later generations, reading grades, giving out rewards, assigning annual leave homework, and then safety publicity warnings... Fang Yu took the third test this time, and he was No. 1 in their classroom. Zi jumped from the bottom to the front, and gained a lot of envy and praise. Naturally, he received the most rewards in real terms.

I got a Zihao pen, the nib is made of hare fur, and the pen holder is rosewood wood. All the students were very envious of it, not only because the pen is expensive and easy to use, but also envious that it was rewarded by the headmaster.In addition, Fang Yu also received a collection of ink from Zhang Fuzi, which is rare for ordinary scholars.

Fang Yu has earned enough face today, and this time he has made a big splash in the academy, which is something that many scholars would never dream of, but he is not very happy, on the contrary, he is more envious of having family members in the classroom The classmate waiting silently at the door.

He would rather exchange the prize and ranking this time for Xiao Qiao to wait for him at the door of the classroom.

I didn't know what was good in the past, but now things are different.

Mrs. Zhang is over, and the days of studying in the academy this year are coming to an end. The annual holiday has just begun. In addition, the six days from today to the Chinese New Year, and until the 15th Lantern Festival after the next year, these days are all holidays. It is enough to be satisfied For more than [-] days, everyone walked out of the classroom in high spirits, discussing whether to go to a small restaurant or do other activities.

Fang Yu was in the limelight, and many people from this classroom and other classrooms wanted to invite him to a dinner and poetry party, but he was not in the mood to go, so they all refused.

After leaving the academy, he gave Xuezhu all his things: "Go and bring my horse, why don't you go to the outskirts of the city and ride a horse twice."

The horse has been fed since he bought it home, he has not ridden it formally, it is still early, and he is not very happy to go back, and the people on the left and right don't care about him.

On the outskirts of the city, there is a racecourse dedicated to horse racing. You have to charge money to enter, and the price is also high. One person, one horse, one hour, [-] Wen. As for the servants, there is no charge for entering without riding horses. On weekdays, it is for rich people. Young masters and sons and brothers ride horses for fun, and sometimes rent them out to powerful families to hold cuju polo clubs and the like. In short, it is a place for rich and powerful people to have fun.

Fang Yu gave an extra one or two hundred dollars, and asked for a more private place, which is the same as the private rooms of later generations.Today's results came out. There were many people having fun at the racecourse, and the field was full of dust. He didn't think it was dirty. The main reason was that it was somewhat embarrassing for someone who can't ride a horse to toss around outside. It's better to spend more money to buy a clean place. It is best to practice horsemanship.

He got on the horse, pulled the reins, and the horse walked slowly on the field. Except for some bumps, Fang Yu thought it was pretty good.

"Xuezhu, let go of the horse, you don't have to lead it, I'll try to ride it."

So he slowly speeded up the horse, and the horse seemed to have been locked up in the stable for a long time, and it was able to spread its hooves and run on the big field all of a sudden, which seemed to be a bit of a runaway.

Fang Yu felt that the horse's girth seemed to be loosened. Before he could stop the horse, he heard a muffled bang and the horse neighed...
