Scholar and old attack

"cough--"

Jiang Jingyuan coughed and interrupted their conversation.

"I ordered some food, you two, hurry up." Jiang Jingyuan's knuckle-boned fingers lightly knocked on the door, his tone was normal, and there was no big disturbance.

After Fang Xinli gave Wei Liangjun a slit, he quickly got dressed and slipped out of the room, leaving Wei Liangjun stunned.

I really didn't do anything!

When I woke up, my clothes were disheveled, and I am still in a daze, really!

Who will tell me the truth!

The two came to Jiang Jingyuan's room, and Jiang Jingyuan was already eating. He glanced at the two who were obviously angry, and lowered their voices, "It's better for you two to pay more attention during the scientific examination."

"Pay attention to what." Wei Liangjun had just picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, when he heard Jiang Jingyuan's words, he was stunned.

"If you can't talk, don't talk." Fang Xinli stuffed himself with a few mouthfuls of food sullenly, a little bit lacking in interest.

Seeing the interaction between the two of them, Jiang Jingyuan smiled helplessly, put some vegetables in his own bowl, and began to eat slowly.

After eating enough, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk cloth, took out a pen and paper and said without hesitation, "There are still ten days left for the leaving-home exam, you two try to write ten more articles on business and taxation in these ten days." , I check every day."

"Pfft...cough...cough..."

Fang Xinli was startled by Jiang Jingyuan's words, he choked a grain of rice into his throat, his face turned red and he coughed endlessly.

Wei Liangjun was lucky, he didn't choke on the rice grains, and poured himself several cups of tea to suppress his shock.

"Jiang Jingyuan, you're not mistaken, it's not that you said that the scientific examination is coming soon, and you can't force it too hard, give us a few days off, and you let us write another article before we rest for two days, you are crazy No."

Fang Xinli had a face full of reluctance. He had been tired for almost a year, and finally he was able to let his mind go a little bit. Before he had a rest for two days, he would be beaten back to his original form. He was completely unwilling.

Wei Liangjun nodded in agreement, serious, "The last time you said this was two days ago, and you only gave us a two-day holiday. What's even more hateful is that we haven't organized any activities for a year. The scholars who came after us have now followed others."

When Wei Liangjun said this, Fang Xinli also felt a little lost. At this time in the past, they must have been surrounded by many scholars who asked about their health. Why did they lock themselves in the house and write hard like this.

Jiang Jingyuan sat in front of the table, listening to the complaints of the two, ignored them, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, "You two can't control your lower body after two days off, and I'm afraid that your lives will be lost after ten days off. "

Fang Xinli's face was ashen, his original intention was to tease Wei Liangjun, but Wei Liangjun didn't realize it, but dug a hole for himself, bit his lip secretly, and looked dissatisfied, "I was just kidding, you said If it doesn’t count.”

"Well, what I said just now will definitely not count." Jiang Jingyuan nodded affirmatively, he has always been a person who counts his words.

"You..." Fang Xinli was so choked by Jiang Jingyuan that he couldn't speak. In terms of verbal arguing, ten Fang Xinli were not as good as one Jiang Jingyuan.

Especially every time he was so angry that he was half dead, Jiang Jingyuan still had that calm look, just looking at it made people angry.

"Okay, here is the question I gave you. You guys should think about how to write it at home." Jiang Jingyuan didn't stop working hard when he was talking, and he quickly wrote ten questions, "I'm going out for a stroll. , If you don’t see you studying when you come back, you will be responsible for the consequences.”

Jiang Jingyuan said the last four words very lightly, but it made both Wei Liangjun and Fang Xinli shudder.

Jiang Jingyuan looks gentle and gentle, but he is actually a cannibalism master. Don't be deceived by his gentle appearance, otherwise you can only be deceived.

During the year of studying in Jiang's family, they were tortured by Jiang Jingyuan, and they died terribly if they were disobedient.

Although both of them were quite reluctant in their hearts, neither of them dared to refute Jiang Jingyuan's words.

Seeing the two cats whose tails had been stepped on, Jiang Jingyuan became obedient and smiled lightly, "That's it, I'm going out."

After Jiang Jingyuan finished speaking, he walked out with light steps. After finally coming to Datong, he had to buy some things for his husband. During this time, he could take a stroll and inquire about the examination room.

Datong and Wutong County are still different after all, not only the prosperity, but also the spiritual outlook of the people.

Walking on the avenue lined with streets and restaurants, watching the people coming and going around, and the children playing behind the adults are all refreshing.

At this moment, when the lights are on, the roadsides are resplendent and resplendent, and when you walk to a section of the road that is full of luxury, you can faintly hear the melodious sounds inside.

A few students dressed in long gowns hurried past Jiang Jingyuan, and headed straight for the desirable place. Standing on the side of the street, a pretty woman in slightly revealing clothes was dancing coquettishly, attracting the crowds on the side of the road. students.

Jiang Jingyuan came here, stopped in a hurry, turned around and walked back.

exactly opposite them.

"Where are you poor scholars from, don't get in the way." Several students glanced at Jiang Jingyuan's clothes, saw that he was wearing ordinary clothes, thought he was just an ordinary person, and waved their hands impatiently.

Ordinary people would submissively bow their heads and turn to one side when encountering someone like them. They thought Jiang Jingyuan also had this kind of personality.

Jiang Jingyuan didn't look sideways, his eyebrows twitched slightly, smelling the soaring smell of alcohol, he was inexplicably nauseated.

A dignified student, the scientific examination is coming soon, and he still has the leisure to come to this place of fireworks to have fun.

"Get out of the way." A drunken student who was caught in the middle stared in confusion, seeing that Jiang Jingyuan didn't give way as he expected, and became even more impatient.

The waist of the little lady in front was twisted, which made him a little relaxed and happy, but the person in front of him was a little annoying and refused to give way for a long time.

"If I'm not mistaken, it seems that some of you are blocking my way, so why let me make way." Jiang Jingyuan was also obviously a little impatient, and the smell of alcohol was blown by the night wind, and went straight to him. Come.

"Oh, why, I have money." The student took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and said proudly, "Have you seen the silver ingot? If you haven't seen it, make way for me."

After speaking, he threw the money in his hand aside, "Look for it like a dog."

Jiang Jingyuan quietly stepped back two steps to the left, looked at him with eyes as if he was mentally retarded, and said in a cold tone, "Only children under the age of three don't know money, and only fools with unclear minds will take money. Qian Yaowu is showing off his power, I am afraid that the few of you are all dizzy from the wine."

"You poor scholar is the one who is not clear-headed. If you are sensible, get out of here." Xu Shijiang Jingyuan's words completely angered several people. Two of them looked at the somewhat sturdy student and rolled up their sleeves, pretending to want to Come up and beat people.

"Why, as a student of the dignified Chongyang Academy, do you only have this kind of magnanimity?" Jiang Jingyuan was not afraid, and chuckled lightly when he saw the student uniforms on their chests.

The scholars in Wutong County all boasted that Datong's school was magical, saying how many students were admitted to the scholar every year, how many students were admitted to Juren, how many students were officials in the court, and so on.

He has not seen the power of the school first, but he has seen their "force" first.

These two students can't hold back their faces. They can do whatever they want in private. If they do evil in the name of the school, they will definitely be dismissed by the school. them.

"What are you afraid of? If something goes wrong, my dad will stand up to it and beat me to death. I just want to spend money to have fun today."

That high-spirited scholar couldn't even speak clearly, and his eyes were blurred too much. He only saw the clothes on Jiang Jingyuan's body, and his heart suddenly became emboldened.

"Oh, I really want to know how capable your father is, that he can make you beat up people in the street and still make sense." Jiang Jingyuan was almost amused.

Where did this secondary disease come from, thinking that his father can really do whatever he wants with a few stinky money and stinky power?

"My father, my father is the magistrate of Datong, why are you afraid?" The young man was not vigilant, but even reported his father's name as if he was his pride.

Jiang Jingyuan is happy. This is Xiao Kaiqi's son. Speaking of which, the two families are old acquaintances. Prefect Xiao is quite a good person. I got it later, but compared to his son who suffered from the second illness, he is still much stronger.

At least Prefect Xiao didn't go around yelling that the minister of the Ministry of Industry was his uncle's business.

"As far as I know, Magistrate Xiao has always been conscientious. People in Datong praise him as a good magistrate. How come his son beats people in the street and likes to go to some places where he looks for flowers and willows? If the people of Datong know If Mr. Xiao is such a person, he might laugh at the magistrate Xiao's lax family education."

Jiang Jingyuan's index finger knuckle lightly touched the end of his nose, hiding a smile, "I just don't know if this matter has become a big one, whether Zhifu Xiao is helping relatives or managing."

Xiao Zilei was choked by Jiang Jingyuan's words. If it was a private matter, his father would probably help him a little bit, but if he beat someone on the street, his father would really punish him for his reputation.

Thinking of it this way, the alcohol in his mind dissipated a bit, and he took a deep look at Jiang Jingyuan, thinking it was a soft persimmon, but he didn't expect to kick the iron plate this time.

Looking at the people in twos and threes surrounding him, Xiao Zilei took a deep breath and said a harsh word, "You wait for me, if you offend me, there will be no good end for you."

"Oh, then I'd be happy to wait." Jiang Jingyuan smiled softly, delighted by this middle school boy, and really wanted to know how he wanted to make himself look good.

Xiao Zilei was annoyed by Jiang Jingyuan's calm smile. If he wasn't on the street now, he would definitely give this ignorant kid in front of him a good look.

Thinking about him Xiao Zilei who didn't know who he was in Datong, some students who didn't know who didn't know some of his classmates would avoid him when they saw him, when would he be humiliated like this by a poor scholar who is not a school.

"It seems that the prefect Xiao's family's tutoring is indeed lax. Mr. Xiao still needs to learn more from his father, so that the people of Datong can have a greater influence on Mr. Xiao and the prefect Xiao."

Looking at Mr. Xiao who keeps saying that he wants to look good to him, he is like the child who urgently needs to prove himself. No matter how loud he is, he will not scare the adults, but only make them laugh.

"You, you, don't know what is good or bad. I am in a good mood today, and I don't care about you, a poor scholar." Xiao Zilei was very angry, but he couldn't help Jiang Jingyuan, so he had to speak cruel words arrogantly. But the steps were staggered by Jiang Jingyuan.

He left in a hurry with a bunch of scumbags, and if he stayed any longer, he would lose his face as the prefect's son.

As long as a person is still in Datong, he can always find a chance to deal with this ignorant kid in front of him.

Jiang Jingyuan looked at the breath he had been holding after he left, and finally he was able to breathe because the smell of alcohol was far away from him. His brows relaxed a little, and he looked down at the clothes that A Zhou made for him for the first time, feeling a little helpless. Dirty again.

----

"Brother Xiao, why don't you just let that kid go like this?"

This is the first time for a bunch of idiots to see Xiao Zilei not getting back after being angry, and they are quite puzzled. This is not like Xiao Zilei's usual style.

Xiao Zilei snorted softly, "Hmph, let it go, it's impossible, it's just that this kid is not afraid of my father when he opens his mouth and keeps his mouth shut. There may be other ways of doing it. Let me go back and investigate."

Xiao Zilei gritted his back molars fiercely. Anyone who dared to use his father to suppress him, except for his own family members, no one else has the qualifications. It is best not to let him find out what background this kid has.

Otherwise, he will definitely make the other party look good.

"Brother Xiao is worthy of his outstanding intelligence and quick thinking. I am ashamed of myself. Now that Brother Xiao has made up his mind, let's continue to drink. I heard that there are two new girls coming to the building. The figure is very smooth, guaranteed to satisfy Brother Xiao."

Seeing that Xiao Zilei had his own ideas, the dog legs complimented him, and the topic turned back to Xunhua Wenliu. After all, they flattered Xiao Zilei just to get some benefits from him.

Otherwise, what else can be expected from Xiao Zilei based on his character of being a fool and a bastard.

After Xiao Zilei sobered up, Jiang Jingyuan was angry again, his stomach was full of anger, even the girl who was looking at the twisting willow waist by the door looked like Jiang Jingyuan, how could he have that kind of thought.

"Brothers, I suddenly remembered that when I went out today, my mother asked me to go home early. I'm afraid I can't go with you today. I will find another opportunity to invite you to the best Qingshui Tower as guests."

Xiao Zilei cupped his hands and apologized to the people around him.

The few people were immediately disappointed, and managed to get a rich person to come out and pay for them. As a result, this person had something to do and they didn't have money. Naturally, the party couldn't be held.

But the few people didn't show it on their faces, and they all showed great generosity, "What's the matter with what Brother Xiao said, my mother's strictness is also for Brother Xiao's sake, Brother Xiao, go home quickly, don't let my mother worry too much .”

The few people talked left and right, making Xiao Zilei's heart boil. This is a good brother who really cares for him. He immediately took out 100 taels of silver notes from his pocket and stuffed them with them.

"Brothers, thank you very much for today. I won't go this time, and I can't treat you guys badly. I will pay for today's consumption."

Several people pretended to postpone it for a while, but Xiao Zilei was too enthusiastic, so they had no choice but to pretend to be unhappy and put away the cash.

"It's only once today, and next time I won't let you treat me if I say anything."

"Yes, yes, yes." Xiao Zilei perfunctorily agreed, and left with cupped hands.

Several people looked at Xiao Zilei's leaving back, and then smiled easily, "This son of the magistrate's family is really easy to deceive, just say a few nice words, and just like that, everyone will compliment him later."

"That's natural, that's natural. Without Xiao Zilei, how can we have a happy life? There is Xinghualou in front of us. Why don't we go to have a good time first."

A somewhat wretched-looking student rubbed his hands.

Jiang Jingyuan happened to buy a pair of puppets in wedding clothes that looked like him and A Zhou in a puppet shop in the corner, and overheard the conversation between these people, he really didn't deserve that silly boy Xiao Zilei.

If his father hadn't helped Jiang Yuanmao back then, to be honest, he might not have said what he said just now to provoke him, but it can also reflect that Xiao Zilei should live a relatively depressed life at ordinary times, otherwise he wouldn't be criticized by others Good words go to my head.

Xiao Zilei left the place of fireworks and returned to his home. As night fell, the Xiao family and his wife looked at the food that had been left on the dining table and remained silent. A primer for their anger.

Until the porter opened the door and shouted, "Master is back."

The couple raised their brows and stared at the door without blinking.

As soon as Xiao Zilei entered the door, he saw his parents sitting in the hall, preparing to ask the teacher for their crimes. Their chests were beating back, and their faces were full of fear.

"Father, mother, why haven't you returned to your room to rest?"

Xiao Kaiqi slapped the table, blowing his beard and staring with anger, "You still have the face to go home, and where do you go to misbehave, you can't learn from the newly appointed son of the general judge, and never cause trouble for your parents. "

Xiao Zilei wanted to be a good boy first, to see his parents' attitude, but his father immediately accused him, and compared him with Wang Tongpan's son, Wang Bowen, he was also unconvinced, and said sullenly,

"I don't know what's so good about that piece of wood. I just read books all day long."

When Mrs. Xiao heard her son's words, she became angry and sneered, "At least Mrs. Wang's son can kneel in front of his parents and swear that he will give his mother an order to come back. What about you, I raised you so much For many years, I have never heard a good word from your mouth. You are either causing trouble or causing trouble all day long. If you raise a dog and know how to wag its tail, I will only be mad at you for raising you."

"Then you should raise a dog. If you dislike me so much, why don't you just strangle me to death when you're born, or when you're pregnant, you'll have nothing left after applying the abortion pill."

Xiao Zilei was also angry in his heart, especially when he heard his parents say this, he was suddenly sad. His parents never asked him if he was doing well outside, and they always compared him with other children.

When I was in Wutong County, I used to say that so-and-so’s children were good, and it was still the same in Datong. There are so many children in the world, they are better than him, Xiao Zilei, so I just went to pick up someone else’s child and raise him, what to do with him.

Mrs. Xiao was also very angry at Xiao Zilei's words. She covered her chest with a sad face, "Is there anyone who talks to elders like this? Look at the son of the Tongpan family, and then look at the children of the Tongzhi family. , even the children of the yamen servants are more filial than you."

Xiao Kaiqi saw that his wife was so angry that her chest hurt, and she was even more frustrated with this son, "I raised you so much to make you talk back to your mother. Do you still have filial piety in your eyes? It's you, if you didn't have me as a father, you would have been drowned by the spittle of the neighbors."

"Whoever's son is good, you should go to the other's son to recognize the son first. I am an unfilial son, so it's okay if I don't stay in this house, so as not to worry you." Xiao Zilei also looked angry, he was angry outside When I came back, my parents not only didn't intervene, but even punished me.

"Oh, my breasts." Mrs. Xiao was directly twitched at the temples by her son's anger. His son was either Bowen, studious or obedient and sensible. Every time she went to the ladies' banquet, she could only sit aside and suffer the anger.

It just so happened that the imperial examination was about to take place. The wives were all saying that their son's imperial examination was very stable this time. Thinking of their son who was incompetent, he came back early to see if he was studying at home after school.

As a result, there was no one in the house. When he came back to eat, and when the food was cold and there was no one, he was naturally angry.

"Get out, get out, let's see what kind of sissy you have become." Xiao Kaiqi waved his sleeves and let Xiao Zilei get out. He had already lost face in front of his colleagues because he didn't have a studious son.

Many colleagues even said that he, Xiao Kaiqi, started his career by relying on his uncle, without any real talent and learning, otherwise he would not have been the prefect of Wutong County for 12 years before he was promoted to the prefect of Datong after his uncle was promoted to the minister of the Ministry of Industry .

It is very likely that his status as Jinshi is also a credit to his uncle.

Being a father doesn't have much knowledge, so it's no good being a son.

That's why he was extremely strict with Xiao Zilei, and he used others to set an example for Xiao Zilei every day in the hope that he would be more obedient and sensible as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, this bastard is getting worse day by day, and he is getting worse day by day. In the past, he was only mischievous in the school, but now he is directly promoted to seek flowers and ask willows.

So the master came to the mansion to sue, saying that he didn't study well, and was messing around with those poor students all day long. What the master said was very clear, if it wasn't for his face as the magistrate, their school would not accept such a student of.

"Okay, I'll go. I'll never come in front of you again and embarrass you. Without me, you and your husband don't know how happy you are. Everything is my fault. When I leave this door, I, Xiao Zilei, will die." It's not your son, it's okay."

Seeing Xiao Kaiqi throwing his sleeves to let him go, Xiao Zilei was completely confused, everything was his fault, he just left.

He left the house without looking back.

As night fell, the number of people on the street gradually decreased, and they walked down the street in a daze, not knowing where to go.

I thought about going to the inn to open a room, but touched my arms, the only 100 taels of silver was returned to his brothers, and he didn't have the face to ask him to get the money back.

But without money, where can he live in the future?

I definitely can't go back home, just like my parents want to die, they will feel comfortable only if they die outside.

Squatting in the shadow of the corner of the inn, Xiao Zilei licked the wound in his heart alone, afraid that someone would recognize him, so he buried his head deeply in the shadow to prevent others from recognizing him.

Jiang Jingyuan wandered around the bustling Datong, and returned to the inn with a bunch of things, but saw a familiar figure squatting in the shadows.

"Why, Mr. Xiao is squatting at the door of the inn to make me look good." Jiang Jingyuan looked around, but he didn't see Xiao Zilei's plastic hind legs, he was a little puzzled.

"It's you again." Xiao Zilei was angry when he saw Jiang Jingyuan, and wanted to hide.

He is no longer the son of the magistrate's family, and he will no longer be able to use the name of magistrate, Xiao Zilei's heart aches when he thinks about it like this.

"Why, I quarreled with my family." Jiang Jingyuan guessed the cause and effect by seeing his expression, so it's strange that he didn't quarrel with his family because of his temper.
