Hongzhu entered the Yaju in a daze, and didn't know how to greet Mr. Jiang and the others, and after sitting down for a while, she was still apprehensive.

Just now...... Listening to the meaning of the young man's words, did she meet the main master? That person was Zhao Xiao.

Hongzhu sighed silently, and her heart was in a mess. In fact, it's not for anything else, but I feel a little embarrassed. First, the people behind her back were heard, and then she didn't admit her mistake when she met her face to face, and she argued strongly, and she thought it was reasonable......

It's a shame that Zhao Xiao just laughed inexplicably, and then left.

Hongzhu still feels strange when she thinks about it at this time. Since Zhao Xiao can open his mouth to ridicule her, he is obviously unhappy that someone belittles him behind his back. Although listening to those words is not to the point of ridicule and contempt, it is rude for a man to meet a little girl for the first time, and he speaks so mercilessly. There was nothing wrong with Hongzhu, but his move also seemed narrow-minded.

Because Hongzhu didn't know his identity, he refuted him fiercely in person. If he is really calculating, he will definitely be even more angry and resentful. But after she finished speaking, he didn't get angry, but laughed and left.

Hongzhu couldn't figure it out, she only had a belly slander, this human nature is really quirky!

Mr. Jiang and the others in Yaju also talked for a while, and a pot of hot tea was added. Zhu Guida saw that it was not early, and Hongzhu also returned, so he offered to leave.

"Bo Xiu is still waiting to settle down, Wen Han and I are a long way to go, and there are still coachmen waiting at the bottom of the mountain, so it's not good to stay for a long time, so it's better to quit. Zhu Guida said.

Mr. Jiang is also a cheerful person, but he didn't pretend to stay longer, and got up to see off the guests when he heard the words. When saying goodbye to them in front of the door, Mr. Jiang instructed the boy, and then turned around and told Cheng Wenhan again: "I have written a letter of recommendation to you, and I will explain this matter to the principal in advance." There will be a lot of people on the two days of the entrance test, so if you arrive early, report your name to the director in advance. The rest will be arranged. After a pause, he said: "After returning these days, you must not slack off, you don't need to look at those advanced knowledge, it is important to memorize the basics." ”

Cheng Wenhan obediently responded one by one.

Seeing this, Mr. Jiang also had a look of satisfaction on his face, so he gently encouraged him: "After you pass the test, I will teach you again." ”

Cheng Wenhan smiled when he heard this, "Yes, sir." ”

Before leaving, Mr. Jiang nodded slightly at Hongzhu as a farewell.

They walked a little way from Yajuli to a fork in the road, saying that the other road was to Zhu Boxiu and their dormitory on the mountain. Zhu Boxiu's luggage had already been moved by his scholar, and only two small burdens remained. Zhu Guida wanted to send his son over, thinking that Cheng Wenhan would soon go up the mountain to study, so it was better to go over and have a look.

But when he asked, Cheng Wenhan said like a little adult: "My sister is not good to go over, so I'd better stay here and accompany my sister." ”

Hongzhu smiled and touched his head.

Only then did Zhu Guida leave Hongzhu and Cheng Wenhan to wait at the intersection for a while.

The boy who accompanied him was not good at words, and pointed around casually, "It's a garden, you two can go and have a look." ”

Hongzhu was bored when she was stunned, so she took Cheng Wenhan to stroll over as she said.

At such a time, there are no flowers on the mountain, only a row of plum branches in the corner still have a little red tassel on the branches. The two sisters and brothers walked leisurely, both looked up at the plum blossoms, and looked at each other after a long while, only to feel that the other party looked very stupid, and immediately laughed.

Hongzhu teased: "For this plum blossom, this little scholar doesn't give a poem to meet the occasion?"

Cheng Wenhan grimaced, "I don't have that poetic talent, let's come sister." He thought for a moment and smiled, and then said, "When Mr. asked me who taught me those things, I didn't say anything, but Mr. was afraid that he would see the details." Isn't my master my sister, and I can get my husband's approval to ask for a recommendation, and that's probably my sister's credit. My sister has just learned above me, so teach me to compose poetry today. ”

"Phew!" Hongzhu scolded with a smile, "You still dare to speak wildly, Mr. Jiang asks you something, and you take what you learned in the school in the past to him in a proper manner." Your sister and I have never been to school, and what you say is all rude and absurd and unruly, and you dare to answer my words! If Mr. catches you in your mistakes today and sentences you for not learning and deviating from the scriptures, will you lose a loss?"

Cheng Wenhan smiled proudly, "But Mr. Jiang is satisfied with it, then I won't talk nonsense." ”

Hongzhu couldn't see that he was proud, so he snorted again, and pretended to be annoyed: "It's okay if you dare to say it, Mr. asked if you thought about it, even if you don't admit it yourself, you shouldn't come back to see me! Are you seeking fame for me, or are you harming me?"

Cheng Wenhan was inexplicable, "Why did you hurt my sister?" He thought about it and asked: "Although my sister doesn't go to school, she doesn't have bad opinions, even if Mr. Jiang knows that you taught me, he only values it, is it just because my sister is a woman, he doesn't like it." ”

Hongzhu thought for a while before saying, "Mr. Jiang has great talents, so naturally he won't stick to these." But you see, even if he knew that I taught you, he didn't come to ask me a word, right? You are the one who wants to go up the mountain to study, and you are also the one who wants to be an official in the imperial examination in the future. Mr. Jiang can treat me normally, but not necessarily. ”

When Cheng Wenhan heard this, he sighed very old-fashionedly, and only said, "Then I'll be more careful in the future." ”

Hongzhu is also depressed in her heart, just like this Xishan Academy, no matter how widely it has a reputation for virtue and good deeds, no matter whether it is from a background or rich or poor, but in the end it only accepts men. If she is a woman, no matter how outstanding she is, she will not be able to go to school.

However, Hongzhu will live for another lifetime, but she is not here to read these ancient books, and she will not be sad if she sighs in her heart. Seeing that Cheng Wenhan seemed to be full of satisfaction and regret for her, he diverted the conversation again and only asked, "Did you say anything in the house later?"

Cheng Wenhan shook his head and only said, "I didn't say anything, Mr. Jiang asked about his grandmother's body, and asked his uncle about some business work." ”

Hongzhu said: "He is also easy-going." "Zhu Guida has little knowledge, and Mr. Jiang can talk to him, which shows that he is open-minded by nature and will not be pretentious at all. Hongzhu then said, "If you are valued by him and worship him as a husband, then it will be good." ”

Although Cheng Wenhan didn't think as long as Hongzhu, he was born smart, so he naturally knew how to do it, so he nodded when he heard it.

Hongzhu thought about it, but she was a little embarrassed, so she didn't tell him about meeting Zhao Xiao. It's just that she doesn't know his details, and she bumps into someone on the road, just like that, it doesn't matter if she doesn't mention it.

After a while, Zhu Guida came back from there and went down the mountain with them. When I went back, I had no luggage and fewer people, so I hired only one car. The road is also fast, and it is time to enter the city when the sky is halfway through.

Hongzhu was a little short of energy, and closed her eyes and rested against the wall of the car. Cheng Wenhan sat with her in a daze for a quarter of an hour at first, but then was swayed and kowtowed by the bumps on the road, woke up suddenly, and never fell asleep again. felt stuffy in the car for a while, so he yelled to sit in front and let Zhu Guida sit in the car.

Hongzhu was also woken up by him, and quickly grabbed him and said, "I'm sick for a while, go back and drink bitter medicine soup again, see if my mother doesn't scold you!"

Cheng Wenhan suddenly froze, and Zhu Guida in front of him said: "Your sister is right, if you feel bored, just open the curtain of the car." Endure it and go back. ”

Cheng Wenhan stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and Hongzhu said: "You can lift it, I don't want to blow the loess and sand outside." ”

Cheng Wenhan lifted a corner and complained: "Sister, you are so squeamish. ”

Just laughing like this, suddenly the car slowed down, and after a while, it stopped.

"Huh. Cheng Wenhan leaned over to look out, and asked Zhu Guida again: "Uncle, what's wrong?"

Zhu Guida said in an uncertain voice: "There is a carriage in front of you that has stopped and blocked the way." ”

The coachman also raised his voice and asked, "Why don't you go ahead?"

Cheng Wenhan had already lifted the curtain of the car, and sure enough, he saw a tall and richly decorated carriage parked on the road in front of him, it seemed that something was wrong, the wheels on both sides were one high and one short, and the horse pulling the cart was also unloaded and was led aside.

"Sister, the car in front of you is broken. Cheng Wenhan rarely goes out, and he is a little excited when he encounters something.

Hongzhu saw that he wanted to get out of the car, so she couldn't help but stop him, glanced at him and said, "What are you happy about?" She paused, and then said, "What if you meet someone who deliberately robs the road in this wilderness?"

When Cheng Wenhan heard this, he sat obediently, but he still muttered: "We are not merchants, and we are not the family members of big families, even this car is hired, where is there any oil and water to rob." ”

Hongzhu didn't bother to argue with him, and also looked ahead. She also had sharp eyes, and soon she saw two girls standing under a tree beside the road, looking at the clothes from a distance, like a master and servant.

When the people over there heard their coachman's question, they hurriedly ran to a small servant, and only said: "This old man, I am not very good at driving, and I am in a hurry, I don't know what is wrong, and the wheels seem to be crooked." Brother help and see if you can fix it. ”

The little guy is not very old, but he is cleanly dressed and speaks in a proper manner, not like a bad person.

The coachman was accustomed to running on the road, and he had encountered some accidents, and he saw the two girls from afar, and he believed the words of the little girl. And when he heard the little man promise money, he agreed. also turned around and explained to Zhu Guidaduo: "Boss Zhu, their car is blocking the road, and we can't get through." I'll take a look and do me a favor. ”

Zhu Guida naturally wouldn't stop him and let him go. He jumped out of the car and said to Hongzhu and them: "Come down and be slack, I can't say how long it will take." ”

Cheng Wenhan happily responded and jumped out of the car, "Sister, come down quickly." ”

The red beads also followed.

The little guy and the coachman in front of him squatted down to check the situation of the carriage, but a little maid came over there, and as soon as she came, she said to Zhu Guida: "Are you the one who hired the car? You give me this car first, and I will give you double the money." ”

Zhu Guida was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, the little maid frowned and said impatiently: "Three times, no more." ”
