Gao Yu and Xu Qing had just packed up their books, pen and ink, and the bell rang for class. Wang Fuzi paced slowly approaching the class as usual, and saw a few more unfamiliar faces in the class without even moving his eyebrows, too, Wang Fuzi has been teaching in the academy for many years, and the transfer of students has long been accustomed to it.

When Gao Jing was distracted, Wang Fuzi coughed a few times and said: "I believe you have found that there are a few more new members in the class, and a few old members have left, I know that everyone must be a little unaccustomed, but this is the rule of our academy, after each monthly exam, the personnel of each class will be adjusted accordingly, if you don't want to be adjusted out, then study hard, study like a boat against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat." This afternoon we will explain the test papers of the monthly exam, and now the test papers will be handed out first, and whoever I call will receive them."

"Gao Jing"

"Cui Yuan"

……

When school was about to end, it was drizzling, and there was no weather forecast in ancient times, so everyone didn't bring umbrellas, so they could only pray that their scholars would come to deliver umbrellas as soon as possible. As soon as the bell rang for the end of school, Gao Jing saw Mingquan Mingsong from the window, and they sent an umbrella.

Gao Jing took the umbrella and boasted: "It's very clever."

"The young master has won the award, this is the duty of a minion," Mingquan replied respectfully.

"Why do you only see you with Mingsong, Mingzhi and Songmo?" Xu Qing wondered.

"Back to Young Master Xu, Mingzhi and Songmo went to the cafeteria to cook for the young masters." Mingquan replied.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, go back to the dormitory and ask, it's hard to go back when it rains heavily." Gao Jing reminded. After saying that, Gao Jing and they went back to the dormitory directly with an umbrella, although they held an umbrella, it was inevitable that it would rain a little, and everyone returned to the dormitory to wash and change their clothes first.

After everyone washed and changed, Mingzhi and the others had already put the prepared meals on the dining table in the living room. When Gao Jing and the others were seated one by one and were about to eat, Mingquan suddenly asked: "Young Master, Young Master Cui's scholar didn't come today, and no one cooked for him, does Young Master want to invite Young Master Cui to eat together?" ”

Gao Jing thought for a while and ordered: "You go and invite Cui Yuan to come over and dine with us, forget it, I'll invite you." ”

Gao Jing walked to the door of Cui Yuan's room and knocked on the door: "Cui Yuan, are you in the house?" ”

Cui Yuan lazily walked to the door and opened the door: "Something?" ”

"Dinner, please!" After speaking, he didn't give Cui Yuan a chance to refuse, pulled him straight to the living room, and pressed him on the empty chair when he entered the living room: "Don't move, today we celebrate the second brother and Brother Xu being admitted to the first class, please come to add joy, you are not allowed to go!" ”

When Gao Jing said this, Cui Yuan was embarrassed to leave, so he had to say helplessly: "I won't leave!" ”

Gao Lang also said happily: "That's right, we are destined to live in a dormitory, so we have to get along well and cherish this friendship with classmates!" ”

"It's not that I don't want to get along with you, I'm just afraid that you will follow in Song Qian's footsteps!" Cui Yuan sighed.

"After that, we kept our distance outside as before, and we got along with friends when there were no outsiders in the dormitory, you think?" Gao Jing proposed.

Cui Yuan wanted to reject them, but years of loneliness and his desire for friends finally made him reluctant to refuse, so he had to sigh: "Okay! ”

Xu Qing happily patted the table and said, "Let's have a drink together to celebrate that we have more friends!" ”

Gao Lang hurriedly stopped: "You can't drink, there is still class tomorrow!" ”

"Senior brother, this is fruit wine, let's have a drink besides, it's not in the way!" Xu Qing explained.

Gao Lang took a sip of the wine glass and said, "Okay, just a glass!" ”

After hearing this, Xu Qing hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said happily: "In order to celebrate that Brother Yu and I were admitted to the first class, and to celebrate that we have a friend Cui Yuan, let's have a drink together!" After saying that, everyone picked up their glasses and drank them all.

While everyone was sandwiching the vegetables and pressing the wine again, Gao Lang directly put the wine away, and Xu Qing hurriedly tugged on Gao Lang's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Brother Gao, shall I have another drink?" ”

Gao Lang shook the goosebumps on his body: "Speak well!" ”

Xu Qing hurriedly sat up and said: "Senior brother, double happiness is coming today, we should drink two cups to meet the occasion, I just drank one cup just now, you let me have another drink!" ”

"No, I just said that I only drank one glass, then I can only drink one cup, and the husband will not stand without faith!" Gao Lang refused.

"Really?" Xu Qing asked again without giving up.

"No way!" Gao Lang firmly refused.

Xu Qing saw that Gao Lang was unwavering, so he had no choice but to turn his addiction into appetite and began to feast.

Everyone ate with relish, but Cui Yuan didn't know the taste, Gao Jing asked with some worry, "Brother Cui, what's wrong with you?" Is the meal unappetizing? ”

"No, it's something on my mind." Cui Yuan explained.

"Is there anything we can do to help?" Gao Jing asked.

"Do you remember the day before yesterday when you saved that girl?" Cui Yuan asked.

"Remember, what's wrong? Does she have anything to do with you? Gao Jing wondered.

"She's my fiancée." Cui Yuan replied.

"Are you engaged? Then how did she fall into the water the day before yesterday? Gao Yu said curiously.

"She was pushed down the lake, and the body you caught that afternoon was her maid, but she died the night before yesterday, and it was someone else who was with her during the day, and pushed her out of the lake while she was feeding the fish by the boat." Cui Yuan explained.

"Did you find the murderer?" Gao Yu asked.

"No, would I be so upset if I found it?" Cui Yuan said weakly.

"Who did your fiancée have a grudge with, or who got in your way?" Gao Jing reminded.

"She has only been in Jiangzhou for two days, who can she grudge against? As for getting in the way, she got in Cui Han's way. Cui Yuan replied.

"How so? How could she, a woman, get in your brother's way? Xu Qing said in disbelief.

"My fiancée's father is a servant!" Cui Yuan explained.

"Your father's engagement to you is good! Looks like he still cares about you. Gao Jing sighed.

Cui Yuan sneered and said, "This marriage was ordered by my grandparents. ”

"Isn't your grandfather a merchant? How do you still know people in officialdom? Can you still be engaged to the family of the servant? Even your father doesn't have this energy, right? Gao Jing wondered.

"This servant is my brother-in-law." Cui Yuan explained: "It's ridiculous to say, my father and my sister-in-law are both scholars chosen by my grandfather, but my mother and my sister-in-law are in completely different situations!" ”

"What's the situation?" Gao Yu said curiously.

"My grandfather is a businessman's family, and he has accumulated a lot of family assets in business for several generations, but only money has no power, just like a child holding money to the market, which has attracted many people to covet it. However, my uncle had no talent for reading, so my grandfather thought about marrying his daughter to a scholar. He chose my father and my brother-in-law among a group of students, both of whom were talented, hardworking, and had a promising future, so my grandfather sponsored them to study for the subject exam, on the condition that he would marry his daughter after the middle school. My father married my sister first, which is my mother, and my sister-in-law married my sister, my aunt. Who knew that after my father became an official, he gradually stopped taking my grandfather seriously, and later met my stepmother, and even more ......" Cui Yuan choked up and couldn't go on.

Gao Jing handed a handkerchief to Cui Yuan and comforted: "Don't be sad, this is all over!" ”

Cui Yuan wiped his tears and said: "My sister-in-law has always taken good care of my aunt since he became an official, is respectful and polite to my grandfather, loves their children, and cares for me even more, I really don't understand, why the students sponsored by my grandfather together, one is ungrateful, the other is grateful, why am I meeting an ungrateful person?" ”
