Chapter 498: Ancestral Star
Poor Mr. Shen Shan was fucked halfway by Fang Zhengyi and Lai Gouer before he even smelled the alcohol.
Since you can't steal all the wine, it will be difficult to explain tomorrow.
After drinking the wine, Fang Zhengyi sneaked out of Shen's house with a hint of tipsiness.
I bought a white Confucian uniform, a jade pendant, a folding fan, and a small wine jar.
Take a shower, have a meal, pick them all up!
I spent twenty taels of silver in one afternoon, and I still had a few taels of silver left in my hand.
But after Fang Zheng thought about it carefully, it was enough.
Chu Youyi, a little girl, usually spends two taels of silver to eat so extravagantly. If she continues to eat like this, she will probably have food problems!
Eating too much food is always bad for your health. Tomorrow I will educate her on health and nutrition and eat some food from roadside stalls!
Go home and try to fool around with it...
Time passed by at night.
Fang Zheng walked towards the south courtyard with a smile on his face, holding a basin in his hand.
The weather is nice tonight. I'll pour out the ink later! Aren't the stars coming soon?
Haha, it’s not too simple.
Behind a tree on the side, a young servant saw Fang Zheng passing by with a basin in his hands. He immediately became energetic and ran away in a hurry.
Not long after, he ran into a group of servants and shouted: "Brothers! I saw that Fang Tangjing!"
"What? Did you find anything? How did that guy catch the stars?"
"I just saw him carrying a basin!" the little servant replied.
Water basin? Everyone lowered their heads and started thinking.
How to catch stars in a water basin? Can stars still fall into the basin?
"What do you think the water basin is for?"
Suddenly someone said loudly: "Haha, I understand, this bastard must want to use the basin as a mirror to look at the stars! That's just a little bit of cleverness!"
"Then it can't be photographed?" someone asked.
"Why don't you pour some ink? Wouldn't the black water make it clear?" someone immediately replied.
"Whatever! We can't let this outsider be chosen anyway, so brothers, bring your pots with you!"
.......
When they arrived at the south courtyard, Chu Youyi was already waiting here.
Fortunately, the table that had been placed in advance during the day had not yet been evacuated. Fang Zheng directly put the basin on the table and looked at Chu Youyi.
When Chu Youyi saw this, she showed a disdainful expression: "What are you doing? Are you here to wash your face?"
Fang Zheng kept a smile on his face and was full of confidence: "Second Miss, don't you want to catch stars? I'll catch them for you right now."
Chu Youyi raised her eyebrows: "Haha, okay, if you can really catch him, then come with me to the academy tomorrow, otherwise I would rather go alone."
Fang Zhengyi didn't waste much time: "Second Miss, please lend me some ink."
"Hsinchu, go and grind ink for him. I want to see what mysteries he can come up with?"
Xinzhu ran over to study the ink, but without much effort, he came back with the inkstone.
He leaned close to Fang Zhengyi and whispered: "Brother Fang, what are you going to do? It's impossible to catch stars! The second lady has this kind of character, she just doesn't like to be controlled by the eldest lady, she just said it casually, in fact, you will go with her tomorrow morning That’s fine and she may not say much.”
"Oh, you don't have to worry, look..."
"Second Miss! Second Miss! I have thought of a way to catch stars!"
"I thought of it too!"
"I want to ask the second lady for some ink! I'll be able to pick off the stars soon!"
As soon as Fang Zheng looked back, the expression on his face froze instantly!
More than a dozen servants, each carrying a basin of water, ran over.
He kept shouting for ink.
What the hell is going on here? Do these people react so quickly?
In a daze, the servants had already placed the basins on the table.
Chu Youyi stretched out her head, stared at this scene blankly, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Ah? You all have the same idea, right?"
"Second Miss, I came up with a solution this morning!" a servant shouted excitedly.
Fang Zhengyi felt as disgusted as if he had eaten shit.
The corners of his eyes kept twitching.
No! This is different from what was shown on TV! Isn’t there some bastard who is staying here to spy on me?
"Okay! Hsinchu, give him the ink first!" Chu Youyi pointed at the servant who just spoke.
Hsinchu glanced at Fang Zheng helplessly, and could only turn around and walk to the servant.
The servant excitedly poured the ink into the basin.
A basin of clear water suddenly turned pitch black.
Then she excitedly ran to Chu Youyi holding the water basin, and said as if offering a treasure: "Second Miss, the stars are in the basin."
Seeing that Chu Youyi had already reacted halfway, her face dropped.
He lowered his head and glanced at the basin, and said coldly: "See if there's any in it?"
Upon hearing this, the smile on the servant's face slowly disappeared. He lowered his head and glanced at the basin. It was pitch black inside, with only the faint moon. He said nonchalantly: "Ah? This. No...but
There is a moon!"
"What I want is the stars, you show me the moon! Why don't you bring me a mirror? Isn't that clearer?" Chu Youyi's face became increasingly unkind, and she scanned the servants: "You see me like this
Are you a fool? Just use this thing to fool me! You are so stupid and want to be a book boy?!"
Fang Zheng raised his head and glanced at the sky.
It turns out that the stars can’t be seen in the photo? It seems that after watching too many TV series, my thinking has fallen into misunderstandings.
Fortunately, a fool took the initiative, otherwise it would have been embarrassing!
"Fang Tangjing, what's your solution? You're not as stupid as using ink to look at the stars, are you?" Chu Youyi asked: "Since my sister thinks you are smart, you must have another solution, right? I can't think of a solution.
It’s time to choose someone again!”
Fang Zheng looked thoughtful, then nodded and said, "Yes! Of course there is. To be honest with you, Miss Second, I actually have the stars a long time ago, and they are passed down from my ancestors."
"Oh?" Chu Youyi suddenly looked very interested.
Originally, he was dissatisfied with Chu Qinghan and wanted to make things difficult for him, so he just said it casually.
I didn’t expect Fang Zhengyi to really praise this kind of Haikou!
"You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"I never lie to people. Please wait a moment, Miss Second, while I go back to get the stars!" After that, Fang Zheng left the south courtyard.
Not long after, she stood in front of Chu Youyi with a tube in her hand.
"Now, my ancestral star is in this tube."
Chu Youyi looked at the fireworks in Fang Zheng's hand suspiciously: "Open it and take a look."
"I opened it and it flew! It disappeared in an instant. My father told me that it took three generations of my family's efforts to catch this star! It is a priceless treasure, so I was asked to keep it safe and make sure nothing goes wrong." Fang Zhengyi
His face was not red, his heart was not beating and he was boasting.
The fireworks were originally used for signaling, but he wanted to use them a few days ago because he was worried that no one would find him.
But the probability is too low and I don’t dare to waste it, so I can only keep it in my hands. Now use it.
If this girl Chu Youyi doesn't deal with him, it will be difficult to make a report or go out to do anything.
After all, it is a shady household, and the government may have connections with the King of Wu. Uncontrollable factors should be reduced as much as possible.
Chu Youyi looked disbelieving and said disdainfully: "Bragging! Is this priceless treasure in a torn paper tube? Open it and let me see."
Fang Zheng struggled with his expression several times, and finally said with difficulty: "Okay! Since the second lady wants to see it, I dare not refuse. Please help me get a fire stick. This star is extinguished and needs fire to light it up again."
"Hsinchu, get him a fire seal!"
