Chapter Twenty-Three: Please Go Back
Because they had to go to the study in the afternoon to learn poetry with the teacher Zhao Shuhai, Liu Gong and Wang Bin put a table of sumptuous meals in the small courtyard where he lived alone, but they did not drink alcohol, so the two of them had to replace the wine with tea.

For two hours in the afternoon, Wang Bin spent half asleep. As the saying goes: spring sleepiness, autumn lack of summer nap. For him, a modern person, he can't listen to the rhetoric of Mr. Zhao Shuhai at all. Even if he retains the memory of this era, he is confused, and since he can't understand it, he has to lie on the desk and fall asleep.
In the eyes of Zhao Shuhai, who is a teacher, Wang Bin is just an accompaniment to Liu Gong, the second young master of the Liu family, since he has no intention of listening to his face-to-face teaching, he is too lazy to take care of it, so he lets him fall asleep in a daze.
As for Liu Gong, whenever he deserted a little, Mr. Zhao Shuhai took the ring ruler and slapped it a few times on the palm of Liu Gong's outstretched left hand. This was ordered by the eldest lady of the Liu family, and the whole Liu family obeyed the orders of the eldest lady of the Liu family, and he, a teaching gentleman, naturally did not dare to disobey.
Moreover, whether this Liu Gong succeeds in his studies is also directly related to him, a teacher. In order to let Liu Gong participate in the state examination and show talent two months later, and then get a reward of one hundred taels from the eldest lady of the Liu family, he naturally wants to be an example of a strict teacher and a high apprentice.
Although Zhao Shuhai himself was a Xiucai who won the state examination at the age of 30, he repeatedly participated in the "provincial examination" hosted by the Ministry of Rites and did not succeed, and became a teacher in frustration, in order to support his family, he came from the county seat to Liujia Village, which was twenty miles away, to teach for Liu Gong, the second young master of the Liu family.
A few months ago, Liu Yu'er, who was the head of the Liu family, promised her second brother Liu Gong's teacher, Zhao Shuhai, that as long as her second brother Liu Gong could pass the "state examination" hosted by the Qizhou Government in two months, she would give one hundred taels of silver as a reward.
With one hundred taels of silver as the source of power, Zhao Shuhai naturally wanted to teach Liu Gong to read with due diligence, naturally to discipline Liu Gong, who was not seeking to be motivated, and naturally to ignore Wang Bin, who could not get any benefits from him.
At the third quarter of the hour, Zhao Shuhai announced that he would learn here today and walked out of the study, and Liu Gong, who had been beaten by Zhao Shuhai no less than four or five times in the afternoon, turned his face sideways, and saw Wang Bin who was sitting on the desk next to him and fell asleep, so he couldn't get angry.
After throwing a thread-bound book in his hand on the desk in front of him with a bang, Liu Gong stood up, and with a nameless anger, he walked to Wang Bin's desk, clenched his fists with both hands, and crackled Wang Bin was beaten on the back.
Wang Bin, who was already shallow in sleep, was awakened after Liu Gong's two weak fists, and immediately stood up when he was frightened.
Wang Bin, who had not yet opened his sleepy eyes, thought it was the hand of Liu Yuer, the eldest lady of the Liu family, when he felt the movement of someone beating his back from his back. After his mind regained his consciousness, he opened his eyes and found that he was in the study of the Liu family at this time, and felt that he must have been caught by Liu Yuer when he slept during Mr. Teaching's teaching.
"Jade, Miss Yu'er, I, I just fell asleep, I, I really only slept for a moment less than a kung fu bean, and I have been accompanying the second young master seriously before; Listen to the content explained by Mr. Zhao, and also, please Miss Yu'er, you raise your noble hand and show mercy to your subordinates. I, I know that I am wrong, and I hope to give me a chance to mend my ways, thousand, don't punish me. Wang Bin, who was in a panic, didn't have time to turn around to see who was standing behind him, so he mistakenly thought it was Liu Yuer, and he was so frightened that his face was like earth, and he begged for mercy in a hesitant way.
The reason why Wang Bin was so afraid of Liu Yu'er was because before he came out of the courtyard where Liu Yu'er lived today, Liu Yu'er had warned him with a serious appearance that if he didn't listen carefully to Mr. Zhao's lectures in the study, he would be punished according to the Liu family's family law. At the lightest, he was beaten with 20 boards, and at the lightest, he was punished to clean the entire house.
No matter what kind of punishment it is, Wang Bin thinks he can't afford it. If it is hit by 20 boards, this fart/stock must be about to bloom, and it must be a chrysanthemum residue, full of wounds; And the Liu family is a big mansion with three entrances and three exits, if the entire Liu family's mansion is cleaned, he will not be able to clean it even if he spends a day of hard work.
Just now, Liu Gong, who was still angry in his heart, saw Wang Bin mistake him for his sister Liu Yuer, and was frightened by this look of remorse, he immediately stopped beating Wang Bin's back with a weak little fist, first stunned for a moment, and then covered his stomach with both hands and laughed heartily "haha......".
After hearing Liu Gong's somewhat coquettish laughter behind him, Wang Bin turned around and saw that only Liu Gong was standing behind him, and Liu Yu'er in his imagination didn't even have a personal shadow at all.
After seeing this scene, Wang Bin first breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his eyebrows, glanced at Liu Gong, who was smiling until his stomach hurt, and complained angrily: "I said Second Young Master, you can really do it, I don't blame you for beating me in the back with your fist just now, why can't you use a little more force, it's like tickling, and I mistook you for your pungent sister Miss Yu'er." What's so funny about this, you can laugh to death. ”
Liu Gong was puzzled by the words "you", which Wang Bin casually said with a bit of scolding in a hurry, and laughed happily on the side, while explaining to himself quite funny: "Brother Wang Bin, I just want you to wake up, and the strength in this hand is a little smaller." If you want me to have a stronger hand, well, you can sit down and I will continue to clench my fists and use the strength of the milk to thrash it. ”
After saying this, Liu Gong, who was smiling from ear to ear, didn't see that Wang Bin wanted to sit down, so he changed his words and asked with interest: "I said, Brother Wang Bin, why are you more afraid of my tough sister than me." Tell me about it, you're afraid of my sister, so that my brother and I can be happy. It's been so many years, and it's the first time I've seen someone who is more afraid of my sister than me, and it seems that we are all suffering from the same disease. ”
Seeing Liu Gong, who was standing on the side, gloating, and when he was depressed, he came to a pot that he didn't open and mention, Wang Bin was so angry that he wanted to step forward and teach this young master Liu Gong a good lesson.
However, Wang Bin didn't do this, he still understood a truth when he was sober-minded, Liu Gong was the second young master of the Liu family after all, he was just a small escort of the second young master of the Liu family when he was in class in the study, and when it came to the level, he was at most a higher-level family member, if he dared to beat up the second young master of the Liu family, it is estimated that his father's deacon who had only been in the Liu family for only two days would come to an end, and his accompaniment would also be compensated together.
In desperation, Wang Bin looked left and right, and saw that before he went to sleep, the teaching gentleman Zhao Shuhai, who was talking endlessly, had disappeared, and it was also declining outside, so he concluded that nine times out of ten it should be the end of listening to this study today, so he said goodbye to Liu Gong, who couldn't stop laughing, and walked out of the study in a huff, left the Liu family's compound, and walked towards the dilapidated fence courtyard of his house.
After walking for about a cup of tea, Wang Bin suddenly ran into Liu Wencai and Liu Wenfeng, who had not been seen for a few days, next to the mouth of the alley, which was about half a zhang away.
Liu Wencai and Liu Wenfeng, who were on the left and right sides of the alley, saw Wang Bin approaching when they saw Wang Bin approaching, and the two people who were still staring at each other with big eyes were as if they had seen their own father, and their cheeks were full of smiles and stepped forward.
"You, won't you two be specially taking people at the mouth of the alley, waiting for me? Brother Wencai, Brother Wenfeng, don't look at me with such a smile, you two laugh so much that I feel weird and panicked. ”
Wang Bin, who was standing on the outside of the alley, looked left and right at Liu Wenfeng and Liu Wencai, who were smiling in front of him, and then stretched out the index finger of his left hand, pointed to his nose, and said with a little worry, a little incredulous.
"Yes, we have been waiting for Brother Wang Bin for a long time at the mouth of this alley leading to your house, just to wait for your arrival Brother Wang Bin." Liu Wencai and Liu Wenfeng, who stood side by side, were the two sworn enemies who were usually incompatible, and they actually said in unison at this time.
However, as soon as these words fell, Liu Wenfeng and Liu Wencai and the two of them rushed to call the board again.
Liu Wencai, who frowned, turned his face sideways, stared at Liu Wenfeng with fierce eyes, and said unceremoniously: "Liu Wenfeng, don't talk to Lao Tzu and me, I'll talk to Brother Wang Bin first, and after I finish speaking, you kid will talk about it." ”
When Liu Wencai just finished speaking, Liu Wenfeng was obviously enraged, and he didn't show weakness and didn't give an inch: "Liu Wencai, your kid talks to Lao Tzu to clean up, why let Lao Tzu say it later, let your kid say it first." Have you asked Brother Wang Bin if he is willing to talk to first. ”
The two people who didn't give in to each other felt that it would be difficult to distinguish the winner if they continued to argue, so they had to face Wang Bin in front of them, and Wang Bin would make a decision.
I don't know what the two of them want, but in terms of impression, Liu Wenfeng is still very friendly in Wang Bin's opinion, so he stretched out his finger and pointed at Liu Wenfeng, and said softly: "Don't argue between the two of you, let Brother Wenfeng say it first." ”
When he heard Wang Bin say let him speak first, Liu Wenfeng immediately straightened his chest, looked sideways at Liu Wencai, who was standing at the level of him, and put on a smug expression, and then took out a bulging money bag stuffed inside from the sleeve on the left side, and handed it to Wang Bin. ”
Under Liu Wenfeng's reminder, Wang Bin remembered that a few days ago he had memorized the entire content of the Analects word for word in his private school, and Liu Wenfeng must have made a lot of money from Liu Wencai and Liu Wencai's little brothers, and the copper coins in this money bag were to thank him.
After thinking of this, Wang Bin didn't say a word, and took the full money bag.
Seeing that Sister Liu Wenfeng actually gave Wang Bin a money bag containing more than 200 yuan in front of her, Liu Wencai was angry. However, he didn't bring any money when he went out today, if not, he would be unwilling to take out all the money on his body and give it to Wang Bin.
Fortunately, this time Liu Wencai did not come empty-handed, he found two shabby-looking thread-bound books from his left sleeve, one was "Analects" and the other was "Mencius".
After stacking the books on top of each other, Liu Wencai put on a respectful look, handed them to Wang Bin, and said with a red face: "Brother Wang Bin, it rained heavily a few days ago, and you were pulled out by Miss Liu Jiayuer, and you left these two books in the private school."
"According to the agreement between you and Mr. Hu in advance, as long as you memorize the entire content of these two books word for word, these two books are yours by Brother Wang Bin, Brother Wang Bin, you should accept them quickly."
He didn't care too much about the agreement between Wang Bin and Mr. Hu, who deliberately made it difficult for him in his professor's private school, at this time, if Liu Wencai hadn't given those two books, he would have forgotten everything in his mind.
After taking the two books, Wang Bin stood in place and waited for a while, and saw that Liu Wenfeng, who gave him money, and Liu Wencai, who sent the books, did not let him go into the alley to go home.
"Brother Wencai, Brother Wenfeng, the two of you have also sent the money and the books, if there is nothing else, I have to go home. It's getting late, and my dad is still waiting for me at home, so I have to go back in order not to worry him. After Wang Bin thought for a moment, he pretended to be anxious and said.
Seeing Wang Bin's restless appearance like an arrow, Liu Wencai and Liu Wenfeng, who looked down on each other for tat, looked at each other for a while, and the two of them rushed to Wang Bin in front of each other, each of them took one of Wang Bin's arms, and said in unison in a begging tone: "Brother Wang Bin, you want to save our brothers."
"A few days ago, Brother Wang Bin, after you memorized the full text of the two books "Analects" and "Mencius", Mr. Hu has looked down on our brothers very much. Today, I don't know why Mr. Hu got angry, and told our brothers that if we can't invite Wang Bin back to continue going to private school, then our brothers won't have to go to private school in the future.
"Brother Wang Bin, you don't remember villains, what did we do wrong in the past, don't be like us, follow us back to the private school and continue to study."
