Chapter 20: Waiting

Three days later, when the entire project was completed, Ma Su felt that he was reborn in a trance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu looked at her tanned son, tears couldn't stop flowing, and when she saw the blood blisters in her son's palms that had begun to scarnate, her body almost softened.

As the only son of the Liu family in her life, she firmly believes in the creed of her husband's death and obedience, and now her eldest son is actually the same as the farmer outside, which makes her feel a little resentful.

Ma Su washed his face and said to Liu: "Mother, don't worry, I'm not doing well." ”

Liu Shi said with tears in his eyes: "But...... Why should your teacher make you ......"

Mother said carefully.

Facing Liu's astonishment, Ma Su said without hesitation: "Mother, the teacher's move is full of deep meaning, and I also have some understanding. ”

Fang Xing was at the gate of the compound at this time, and there were several bear children standing in front of him.

"Young master, this is the fruit we picked up on the mountain today, and we haven't been willing to give it to our younger brothers and sisters at home."

A child wearing a pair of cloth shoes with his thumb exposed, said proudly.

Fang Xing felt warm in his heart, he took this unknown wild fruit, and he was not afraid of poisoning, so he stuffed it into his mouth.

"How's it going, isn't it?"

When the bear child saw Fang Xing eating his own food, the beautiful snot bubbles almost came out.

"Well, it's sweet."

After Fang Xing finished eating the fruit, he magically took out a box of fruits from the porter, and each bear child gave out two, even the girl who needed to be carried by his brother.

"Hurry home, remember to wash your body by the river first, otherwise you will have to suffer when you go home!"

Fang Xing sent away a few children with a smile, then took out a snake fruit from the cardboard box, and took a big bite with a click.

And when it was noon, the daughters-in-law who went to fill the green storage feed were envious of the good luck of the children in the morning.

"That fruit looks like the queen mother's peach, my second child is very filial, everyone in the family has eaten it, it's delicious!"

"Young Master is really a kind-hearted person! We are really blessed to meet such a master. ”

"Yes, if anyone dares to move a finger of the young master, I will tear him!"

“……”

Ma Su was also at the scene, and while he used a guillotine knife to cut those green fodder into short pieces, he listened to the words of these peasant women, but he had some understanding in his heart.

"The people don't care what kind of Ming or Tang Dynasty is in power, he will only care about his own life, only when the people's lives are better, they will look at the world."

Fang Xing used another way to let Ma Su see the etiquette and know the etiquette, and know the honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing.

This effect is more effective than any book, and Ma Su feels that his understanding of the words of those saints is more profound.

"How did it feel during this time?"

Tomorrow is the time for the results of the test to be found, Fang Xing and Ma Su stood on the edge of the green storage cellar, watching those villagers covering the film on it, and finally sealing it with soil to isolate the air exchange between inside and outside.

Ma Su's eyes lit up, "Teacher, during this time, I learned how to get along with people, how to organize people to work to improve efficiency, and I also learned that there are so many mysteries in farm work. ”

Fang Xing nodded with satisfaction, but he still knocked and said: "This is not enough, you also need to understand the thoughts of these dealers, know what they care about, what they like, and what they hate." ”

"And these will be the basis of your future governance, understand?"

Ma Su understood, he looked at Fang Xing, who turned to leave, and felt more fulfilled and safe than he had ever been.

Early the next morning, Fang Xing and Zhang Shuhui got up early, and after having breakfast with Xiaobai, they waited outside.

Soon, Liu and Ma Su also came.

"Thank you."

Liu's gratitude is sincere, she knows very well that without Fang Xing's support, it is impossible to say that their mother and son have been out of food for a long time.

And although Fang Xing didn't teach Ma Su the art of making it, he gave all his notes to Ma Su, which was equivalent to a lifter, or even a quasi-jinshi teaching Ma Su in writing.

You must know that if it weren't for the family change, Fang Xing would have been a genius with a high reputation back then!

"Sister-in-law is polite, please take a seat."

Zhang Shuhui got up with a smile and greeted Liu with the most suitable attitude.

"Teacher."

Ma Su's mood was a little apprehensive, he was worried that he didn't get into the Xiucai exam, in that case, he felt ashamed of his mother and teacher.

Fang Xing felt his mood, so he said lightly: "It seems that your mental cultivation is still not enough, so let's go and help them dig a ditch." ”

There is also a ditch to be dug at the edge of the cellar, otherwise Fang Xing is worried that the rain will bring in the water, so there are still some people working there today.

"Husband!"

Zhang Shuhui looked at Fang Xing with some tears and laughter, but Ma Su bowed down and said, "Yes, teacher." ”

Ma Su went, and Fang Xing also picked up the fishing rod and went to the river behind Zhuangzi to fish, and handed it over to Zhang Shuhui.

Zhang Shuhui turned around and said with some embarrassment: "Sister-in-law, this matter is really a bit ......."

But after Liu's persuasion by his son, he smiled and said: "Young lady, don't be polite, I understand the son's intentions." ”

Ma Su has eaten a lot of food recently, if it weren't for the fact that he got three catties of flour a day after participating in the project, then Liu really couldn't afford to support his son.

After Zhang Shuhui and the others served tea, they said euphemistically: "Sister-in-law, Dehuatuo will tell you something. ”

Liu nodded and listened.

"Dehua said that if Ma Su wins the show, first, he is not allowed to receive congratulatory gifts, and second, he is not allowed to receive land and slaves."

Zhang Shuhui is so embarrassed, as a teacher, Fang Xing actually wants to deprive students of the benefits of success in the imperial examination, which is really out of tune!

Liu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I listen to his teacher." ”

Anyway, Liu always believed that Fang Xing would not harm his son, and respected his master as his father, since it was Fang Xing's arrangement, then she could only suffer.

After winning Xiucai, Ma Su's family is exempted from forced labor, and the family is also exempted from food tax, you can accept slaves, and if you do well in the exam, you can also receive some money and grain from the yamen, which is considered that the state is supporting you.

And the most important thing is that Xiucai commits crimes, and generally cannot be punished, unless you first dismiss his school status.

"If you want to find the yamen, you only need a two-finger-wide note, which says "Zhisheng so-and-so......"

While digging a ditch, Ma Su thought about the various benefits of Xiucai, but gradually, he only had the hoe and dirt in his eyes, and he had no distractions.

"Crackling ......"

A burst of firecrackers came from the outside of Fangjiazhuang, and the farmers who were digging a ditch thought that it was a happy event.

But when those people in the clothes of the servants walked in, everyone froze, first thinking about who had committed the crime, but gradually, everyone's eyes focused on Ma Su.
