Chapter 104: An Unexpected Surprise

-- The first day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Hongwu

Yu Shaobai left Tushan Village again after only two days at home, only the donkey accompanied him, and Mrs. Jingfan stayed at his house, and now he is rushing to Feiliu Academy, which is two miles east of Lanxi County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

There is an unnamed mountain to the east of the Feiliu Academy, and the word Feiliu of the Feiliu Academy is because of the waterfall on the side of the mountain, and when Yu Shaobai heard the loud roar, he understood that he was not far from the Feiliu Academy.

After driving more than two miles, Yu Shaobai finally came to Hongye Ridge, the Feiliu Academy was on this ridge, looking up, there was only one bluestone staircase, he could only put the donkey cart in the teahouse horse shed, and walked up the stone stairs.

As soon as he burned incense, he saw an archway, and opposite the archway was the Feiliu Academy, he thought that this academy was built in such a sparsely populated place, it should be a small school similar to a private school, but he didn't expect this academy to be so big, he just wanted Wu Zichu to help him find a private school to live with, but since this Feiliu Academy is small and large-scale, I'm afraid there must be a lot of rules, Yu Shaobai held ten taels of silver in his hand, and thought: This bit of silver should be able to send those masters, right?

"Come, stop." When Yu Shaobai came to the gate, an old man in gray called out to him, "Young man, what are you doing here?" Looking for someone? ”

"Old man, I'm not here to find someone, I'm a freshman who came to report, please let me in." After saying this, Yu Shaobai remembered that he went to report in the first year of college in his previous life, and it seemed that he said the same thing to the security guard.

"I haven't heard that there are new students, aren't you lying to the old man?" The old man looked at Yu Shaobai suspiciously.

"Student?" Yu Shaobai smiled helplessly, he is only a half-child, where can he be a Xiucai, a fifteen-year-old Xiucai? Wouldn't it be too high-profile?

"In Xia Yu Shaobai, a native of Tushan Village, please report it, and you can know if I am lying to you."

Hearing Yu Shaobai's words, the old man looked the young man up and down, and exclaimed, "Are you Yu Shaobai?" It's so young. ”

"What? The old man has heard of me? ”

The old man smiled: "If you had said that you were Yu Shaobai, the old man would not have stopped you." This morning, Wu Zichu, the prince of Wu County, instructed me that a young man named Yu Shaobai would come to the academy tomorrow, and remember to call him out when the time comes. ”

"Oh? Wu Zichu is also there? Seeing the old man hurriedly running into the door, Yu Shaobai had no choice but to wait at the door. It's just that he was a little puzzled, why Wu Zichu appeared in Feiliu Academy, didn't it pave the way for him, a good brother-in-law, in advance, if this was the case, he was really a little moved.

Click~

The door opened again, and Wu Zichu walked out of the door, and opened his arms to Yu Shaobai with an exaggerated expression: "Good brother-in-law, come!" Let the eldest brother hug one! ”

"Roll~"

was pushed away by Yu Shaobai with a cold face, Wu Zichu didn't think much about it. smiled: "Uncle thought you would only arrive tomorrow, so I instructed Old Man Liu." I didn't think you were here today, what? Can't wait? ”

"Didn't I want to come to the academy in advance to familiarize myself with the environment? But you didn't accompany your family for a good month, why did you come to this Feiliu Academy? ”

Wu Zichu sighed and said: "Isn't this about to take the autumn exam, our seven sons of Lanxi except for me, all of them have to rush to Hangzhou Fucheng to prepare for the exam before the ninth day of the eighth month, my father is also a little angry in his heart, saying that I don't study hard and study, so he sent me back to the county to study. ”

"Eh~" Yu Shaobai looked at the pretentious posture, almost wanted to vomit, and hurriedly interrupted him, "What you said is a bit far, I asked why you are in Feiliu Academy, didn't your father let you go to the county school?" Could it be that it is to give me some points in advance? ”

Hearing this, Wu Zichu looked at Yu Shaobai suspiciously: "You're not joking with me, are you?" Feiliu Academy is the old name of the previous dynasty, Hongwu took this college as the county Confucianism in the second year, this is something that everyone in Lanxi County knows, you will not know? ”

Feiliu Academy is the county Confucianism? Yu Shaobai was slightly stunned, but he didn't find anything about Feiliu Academy in his predecessor's memory, where would he know that Feiliu Academy was county Confucianism. But Wu Zichu said so, he couldn't nod and admit it.

"I naturally know this, the question is here, you said that you arranged me into Feiliu Academy, is it true or false? I'm only half a child, how did I get into the county school? ”

Hearing this, Wu Zichu said proudly: "What you said is not interesting. If you want to enter the county school without a student quota, it is basically impossible, but who is this son, Wu Zichu, the son of Wu County Cheng, there is nothing in this Lanxi County that my eldest son Wu can't do. ”

Looking at his arrogant appearance, Yu Shaobai showed a suspicious look, this pretending to be a student is going to lose his head, Wu Zichu shouldn't be so pitiful to himself, he just wants to find a small private school to live around, and when the holy decree is made this year, he doesn't have to worry about the imperial examination anymore when the imperial examination is suspended.

"It's a bit reckless for you to do this, pretending to be a student is a big crime, if someone has a heart to denounce it, whether you and I can keep our heads, it's hard to say!"

Seeing Yu Shaobai's worried and scared look, Wu Zichu smiled triumphantly: "Look at the scared you, just kidding you, what my father can't do, and he doesn't dare to do, how can I do it?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Shaobai glared at him depressedly, when did this guy learn to play tricks. "Okay, you told me seriously, you said before that you arranged for me to study in the county school, is it also a joke?"

Wu Zichu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This is not a joke, it is true, don't believe it, look at this." With that, he pulled out the yellow paper from his bosom.

Yu Shaobai took the paperwork, opened it and looked at it, his face changed slightly. "Quota of students?" He didn't expect that this document was actually a document sent by Fucheng to the county government, and it was a reward for his meritorious service in assisting Wang Yizheng in solving the case and assisting Wu Zichu in solving the case. In addition to one hundred taels of money and ten horses of silk, he was also rewarded with a number of students, which he did not expect.

"Brother-in-law, how's it going? Isn't it exciting? This document was sent to the county office not long ago, and I didn't tell you about it, just to surprise you. ”

Yu Shaobai closed the book and asked, "I was indeed surprised and delighted." My money is one hundred taels and ten horses of silk, are you in the county office? Why didn't you bring me a piece? ”

Hearing this, Wu Zichu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Uh...... Your money is one hundred taels and ten horses of silk are gone. ”

"It's gone. How is it gone! As soon as he heard that the reward was gone, Yu Shaobai suddenly asked a little anxiously.

"It's for my uncle to use it, don't worry, I'll return it to you in a few days."

"You took it and used it? Don't you say every day that you don't lack money? What happened? Actually gave you access to my money? As soon as Yu Shaobai's voice fell, Wu Zichu sighed and said: "Yes, think about it before, what did I Wu Zichu worry about money, but now I really have no money?" ”

"Don't stop, just keep talking. What happened? ”

"Alas, it's not because the moon is like his father." Wu Zichu's face showed helplessness.

Yu Shaobai was suspicious: "What does this have to do with Yueru and his father?" ”

"Of course it does. He owes the restaurant for his drinking, and I helped him pay it back, and I also spent money to injure passers-by after getting drunk. That's not all, he still owes a lot of debts in the casino, and I paid it off for him, and I used your one hundred taels of silver and ten pieces of cloth to pay off my old man's debt. ”

Hearing this, Yu Shaobai was a little surprised: "That Daddy Lou lost so much money, you are really a beauty and lost your wealth." But didn't we get the title deed and the house deed in the noble house before? Didn't you go to the Lu family to trade? Those title deeds and house deeds can be exchanged for a lot of silver. ”

"I also know this, but the second master of the Lanxi Lu family is not in Lanxi, I heard that he went back to the old house in Pujiang, I don't know when he will come back, this exchange of real estate deeds is a big deal, without these two masters in Lanxi Lu family, no one can find the Lanxi Lu family."

Hearing this, Yu Shaobai shook his head helplessly, now it is really like having money and no place to spend it, holding the title deed and house deed, but he can't trade casually, "Okay, then wait." If the one hundred taels of silver and ten silk cloths can make you embrace the beauty, it is worth it. ”

Hearing this, Wu Zichu patted Yu Shaobai's shoulder with emotion, and said: "Brother-in-law, my uncle really didn't misunderstand you, don't worry, Yueru will enter our Wu family sooner or later and be my Wu Zichu's wife!" ”

"Alright, don't be emotional. To get back to the point, the imperial court gave me a place of student membership is indeed too sudden, and there are too many county school rules, which is not suitable for a person with a free and easy personality like me to stay for a long time. "Yu Shaobai is telling the truth, he usually stays in private school, county school? Don't make a fuss, he doesn't want to die studying.

"Huh? Brother-in-law, where are you going? Seeing that Yu Shao was about to leave, Wu Zichu hurriedly stopped.

"Naturally, I'm going home."

Wu Zichu said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, this student is going to go to the county to study, how can anyone avoid it." Think about it, if your mother knew that you had won the student quota, but she didn't want to go to the county school, wouldn't she be angry with the boss? Is this what children still do? ”

"You can pull it down, I understand filial piety, and I also understand what to do for children. But what do you usually make your father angry about, why are you embarrassed to lecture me? ”

"Ahem~ Shaobai, you dismantle my platform again. Can't you save some face for your uncle? Let's get back to the point, don't go far, just say if your mother will be angry. I heard you say that she has been in poor health, and she was so angry with you, are you happy to go? Besides, going to the county school is also a glorious thing, you became a talent at the age of fifteen, but you are even more powerful than Jing Ming, if he hears about it, he must be quite depressed. ”
