Chapter 39 The white-clothed scholar in the academy
"Wonderful, wonderful." County Magistrate Qin was full of praise. "My lady has a pair of skillful hands, Ziyi is a blessed person!"
"My wife is vulgar and deserves such praise." Lu Yi was modest.
Magistrate Qin ate another piece of rabbit meat, picked up the wine glass and drank it all with a look of enjoyment on his face.
"To say that such a good wife is vulgar, I'm afraid there are vulgar people in the world. I heard your teacher said that you don't study anymore. I was a little regretful at first. But when I see you today, with such a good wife, your life will not be lonely.
"
Bai Weikang said: "I heard that you gave birth to a son and a daughter."
"Yes, twins." Lu Yi said: "Bring them to see the teacher another day."
"You are busy with work, and I don't have many rules here. But if you want to be enlightened, you can send me to Qingshan Academy."
"Thank you teacher."
"It just so happens that I have a group of students here." Fang Zhuoyu said, "If Brother Ziyi's son is sent here, I will teach him carefully."
Lu Yi said calmly: "Let's talk about it later!"
Fang Zhuoyu's face darkened.
Qian Zhongyun held up the wine glass: "Come on, brother Chu, I'll give you a drink."
"That's right, that's right." Tang Mingcong agreed. "We won't let you go today. You must not come back until you're drunk."
After having enough food and wine, Fang Zhuoyu first saw off the Qin County magistrate, and then the gentry.
The masters at Qingshan Academy were all his own, so they didn't need him to greet him. Moreover, the masters hadn't seen Lu Yi for a long time, and they all wanted to know how he was doing.
When Fang Zhuoyu came back from seeing off his distinguished guests, he saw that his masters were still talking to Lu Yi, expressing their love and regret for him. If Lu Yi hadn't been too stubborn and refused to accept other people's kindness, his life would not have been like this.
"It's getting late. You can rest at my place today and go back tomorrow!" Bai Weikang said, "Too much alcohol is harmful to your health, so don't be greedy."
"Yes, Chief Shan."
Bai Weikang took Lu Yi down to the restaurant.
The carriage stopped there. Lu Yi went to help Bai Weikang, but he knocked his hand off, and he stepped on the bench and got into the carriage.
"What are you doing standing there? Why don't you come up?" Bai Weikang's cold voice sounded.
"is teacher."
Fang Zhuoyu sent away his other masters and classmates, and watched Lu Yi driving away in Shan Chang's carriage, his eyes filled with gloom.
"This Lu Ziyi is really haunting." Qian Zhongyun said jealously: "Even though he has no chance to get another honor, the mountain chief still looks at him differently."
"The days are still long! One day the mountain chief and the masters will understand who is the most promising person in Qingshan Academy." Tang Mingcong said to Fang Zhuo Yu: "We will not compete with him for this period of time."
In the carriage, Bai Weikang closed his eyes and dozed off. Lu Yi sat next to him respectfully, like an obedient child.
The carriage drove into Qingshan Academy.
The coachman said, "We've arrived," and Bai Weikang opened his eyes and got off the carriage.
Lu Yi followed Bai Weikang, but the latter stopped soon and said without looking back: "You don't have to follow me. You are familiar with this place and know where the guest room is. I am tired, so I won't greet you."
"Teacher." Lu Yi knelt on the ground. "Student, I have let you down. Please hit me and punish me!"
This is better than sulking yourself.
"Why should I punish you? Why should I beat you? You are no longer a student of Qingshan Academy. If I can beat you, can I punish you?" Bai Weikang closed his eyes and sighed softly. "The path is your choice.
Yes, how you go from here is your own business. I am old and have one leg in the coffin. How many days can I live? I can’t control your affairs."
"Teacher." Lu Yi lay on the ground. "Don't be like this. It's really uncomfortable for the students."
"You owe me a No. 1 scholar, so just send a No. 1 scholar here! If so, I will forgive you." Bai Weikang entered the yard.
The students here all have to live in the academy. They came back one after another and saw Lu Yi kneeling outside the chief's door, each one showing a look of gloating on his misfortune.
"Lu Yi's wife, who is as fat as a pig, lazy, slovenly, and extremely aggressive, said that his wife made those things today. Only a ghost would believe it!"
"real or fake?"
"Our home is in the village next to theirs. Every time we go back, we hear the terrible things going on in their home. You are new here, and you still don't know why he married that woman. It's embarrassing to talk about it."
"If I were you, and you have this leisurely and talkative woman here, I might as well go back and read for a while. Maybe you will be the one holding the banquet next time." A cold voice sounded.
A young man in white clothes walked out from the corner. The young man had a face as beautiful as jade. It would be no exaggeration to say that he was a moon god at this night. His temperament was elegant and his appearance was like that of an immortal.
He was holding a book in his hand and seemed to be reading hard by the moonlight.
"An Yiheng, today is a good day for Brother Chu, why don't you participate?"
"Why do you want to participate?" An Yiheng raised his eyes and said calmly: "Am I familiar with him? Isn't it too arrogant for him to mobilize troops and mobilize people after passing the examination? What if he fails in the scientific examination in the future?
More embarrassing?"
"How could you curse a classmate like this? If you don't know better, you would think you are jealous of them!"
"What about you? Are you not jealous of others when you say these sour words here?"
"you!"
"It's such a beautiful time, don't spoil your mood, everyone, please come back!"
"snort!"
An Yiheng found a place to sit down and read a book.
Lu Yi was still kneeling there.
One is kneeling and the other is reading, not disturbing each other.
I don't know how much time passed, but an old man came out and said to Lu Yi: "Zi Yi, please stop kneeling. The mountain leader has already rested. I will take you to the guest room to rest!"
Lu Yi stood up and said, "Don't bother Mr. Yun, I'll go by myself."
"Mr. An, it's so late, don't look at it, or you may hurt your eyes." The old man said to An Yiheng.
An Yiheng put the book away and said, "Okay, let me go back to my room."
Seeing Lu Yi staring at An Yiheng, Mr. Yun said, "Mr. An was transferred here this year. He didn't study here before. I heard from the mountain chief that he is a good young man. Although he is not as talented as you, he is better than you because of his diligence."
Lu Yi remained silent.
Before dawn the next day, Lu Yi came to Bai Weikang again, knelt down and said goodbye, and left Qingshan Academy.
The sound of Lang Lang reading could be heard from the academy. Listening to that familiar voice, Lu Yi's expression remained unchanged and he strode away.
Rusty! The sound of footsteps sounded.
Mu Zhenghan, who was cleaning the yard, heard the voice and looked up to the opposite side. When he saw the familiar tall figure, he shouted inside: "Sister, my brother-in-law is back."
Lu Yi paused, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.
Brother-in-law...
For the first time, I feel that this title is not so disgusting.
Mu Siyu was cleaning when she heard Mu Zhenghan's voice and poked her head out. When she saw Lu Yi, she said, "You haven't had breakfast? There are cakes left in the pot for you. I'll bring them to you."
