All the students present looked at the Yimen of the School Administration, but they heard the noise of the outer courtyard for a while, and after a while, the three official gentry came in with a swagger, in the center was Xu Shijin, the prefect of Shaoxing, Zhang Rulin, who was fat and kind on the left, and Liu Zongzhou, the middle-aged Confucian with a thin face on the right.

Hou Zhihan, Wang Siren, Sun Jiaoyu and others have already greeted Minglun Hall, as a greeting, welcome into the lobby, Hou Zhihan asked the Lord Fuzun to take a seat in the center, Xu Shijin waved his hand and smiled: "Today, it is said that Brother Qidong and Sun Jiaoyu evaluate the craftsmanship of the Su Weng clan, and they are just watching, haha, watching." He only sat on the side of the hall, and Zhang Rulin, Wang Siren and others also sat down.

Governor Xu looked at the people of Shanyin who were gathered together and asked, "Who is Zhang Jiezi, the grandson of the Suweng clan?" ”

Zhang Yuan stepped forward and saluted: "Zhang Yuan pays a visit to Lord Fuzun. ”

Governor Xu said with a smile on his face: "Sure enough, you are young and handsome, and you have the ability to recite in your ears, and you can play against people blindfolded, which is rare, rare." ”

Zhang Yuan said respectfully: "Thank you Lord Fuzun for your compliment, the rumors are inevitably exaggerated, the kid is just calm and willing to learn." ”

Wang Siren looked at Zhang Yuan with a smile and thought: "This son is neither humble nor arrogant, and he will not show any timidity when he sees a big man, and he will have a great future." Glancing back at his daughter Yingzi standing behind him, Wang Yingzi looked at Zhang Yuan under the hall with wide eyes and a smile, not noticing that her father was looking at her.

The prefect of Xu motioned for Zhang Yuan to step aside and asked Sun Jiaoyu: "Have all the beings arrived?" ”

Sect Sun hurriedly left his seat and said: "Qiyu Mansion, the fifty-four students in this county who took the first and second grades in the first and second grades last year have reached fifty-one people, and two of them are sick and mourning-"

"And what about the other one, why hasn't he arrived?" Governor Xu asked.

Sun Jiao said: "There is another one is Yao Fu's nephew Yang Shangyuan, and Yao Fu has not yet arrived. ”

Yang Shangyuan is now also a celebrity in Shanyin, notorious, Governor Xu smiled slightly, and said: "Hurry up and let people urge it, so many people are waiting for the two of them." ”

Hou Zhihan ordered Liu Biqiang, the head of the team, and the disciples of the School Department to urge Yao to come to Confucianism at a high speed, Liu Biqiang and the disciples of the School Department dared to be lazy, running all the way, from the county Confucian Palace to the Yao house on the bank of the Fu River, there were more than three miles of road, and they ran out of breath, and when they arrived on the bank of the Defu River, they saw people gathered in half a street, and the shouts came and went:

"Yao Litigation Stick, get out!"

"Yao Heixin, rat generation, come out and die!"

"If you don't come out again, we'll rush in and make him turn the world upside down—"

…… Liu Biqiang, the leader of the errand team, was both surprised and wondered, what was going on, Yao Fu was angry, but why did these shouting people look like they were singing?

That's right, these are the most fierce screams of the young people in Xizhang's "Edible Class", who usually have a good voice, which comes in handy at this time, especially Ma Xiaoqing, who often plays the net corner, screams loudly and loudly into the clouds, while Yao's house is closed with a closed door, and the gate is full of rotten eggs and mud - Zhang Yanke, the first gentleman in Shanyin, Zhang Yanke, stood on a bluestone pier near the river, shaking the folding fan on a cold day, high-spirited, Gu Erlezhi, Zhang Cao didn't expect such a momentum, he only brought a few loud voices in the dining class before, There are more than 20 house slaves who came to scold Yao Fu, but as soon as they started scolding, more and more people gathered, and they participated in scolding Yao Fu, and some people became more and more angry, and they wanted to slam the door and go in, or Zhang Cao ordered people to stop - Liu Biqiang saw Zhang Cao, and knew that the scolding of Yao Mansion must be the head of Zhang Cao, so he went over to meet with the school department, Zhang Cao saw the two of them, and said happily: "Hou County ordered you to come, and asked Yao Fu to go to Confucianism?" ”

Liu Biqiang said: "Yes, but like this-" He pointed in front of Yao's house, "How can you open the door?" ”

"Come with me."

Zhang Cao jumped off the stone pier, let the house slaves open the way, and ordered everyone to shut up, and the official messenger came--just like that, Liu Biqiang arrived in front of the gate of Yao's house, the door was full of filth, and he couldn't knock on the door with his hands, so he kicked with his feet, "Bang Bang", and shouted loudly: "Yao Xiucai-Yao Xiucai-villain Liu Biqiang, on the orders of Hou County Zun and Sun Jiao, please Yao Xiucai go to the county school office quickly, Xu Fuzun is also waiting in the Confucian hall, Yao Xiucai should not delay-"

…… At this time, Yao Fu was like an ant on a hot pot, and ordered a dozen or so sturdy domestic servants to guard the front yard with sticks, for fear that the scolding people outside would rush in and smash and hurt people.

Yang Shangyuan was also here, crying and complaining: "Uncle should have gone to the county Confucianism school early, and these people would not dare to scold the school department." ”

Yao Fu said angrily: "What's the use of talking about this now, can I still go out!" ”

Suddenly, hearing the voice of Liu Biqiang, the head of the errand team, Yao Fu breathed a sigh of relief, approached the door and said loudly: "Liu Bantou, first drive away all the people in front of my door, otherwise how can I get to the school department." ”

Liu Biqiang responded: "You open the door, no one will hurt you, hurry up, the county and the government are waiting for you." ”

Yao Fu straightened his clothes and said to his nephew Yang Shangyuan: "Let's go, it's time to fight against the water." ”

The door of Yao's house opened, two rattan sedan chairs were lifted out, Yao Fu was in front, Yang Shangyuan was behind, five or six house slaves were guarding on both sides of the rattan sedan chair, as soon as the rattan sedan chair appeared, there was a shouting sound in front of the door, Liu Biqiang was afraid that Yao Fu would retract again, and hurriedly said to everyone: "Fellow villagers, fellow villagers, it is the two adults of the government and the county who want to summon Yao Xiucai, and everyone should not be embarrassed." He waved at the sedan chair driver: "Hurry up." ”

The two rattan sedan chairs carried Yao Fu and Yang Shangyuan to the Shanyin School Office at the foot of Wolong Mountain, and Liu Biqiang and the School Office Menzi chased behind.

Zhang Cao put away the fan, pointed to the west, as if commanding thousands of troops and horses, and shouted: "Everyone go to the county school office to see that Yao Heixin is all full of evil today." Sitting on his waist, the two healthy servants lifted Zhang Cao, strode forward, and caught up with Yang Shangyuan's rattan sedan chair at the Guangxiang Bridge.

Zhang Cao pondered in his heart: "Yao Heixin and his nephew Yang Shangyuan are following with all their hearts, so it is good to let these two people turn against each other." Then he ordered the servant to approach Yang Shangyuan's rattan sedan chair, grabbed the sedan chair and said, "Brother Yang, wait a minute, I have something to say." ”

Yang Shangyuan saw Zhang Cao's polite words, so he asked, "What's the matter with Brother Zhang?" ”

Zhang Cao said: "Brother Yang is determined to help that Yao Heixin today?" ”

Yang Shangyuan sneered and didn't answer, do you still need to answer?

Zhang Cao patiently said: "Brother Yang, haven't you heard those hurtful rumors about Yao Heixin?" ”

Yang Shangyuan pouted and said: "The rumors stop at the wise, I don't believe anything." ”

Zhang Cao was furious, patted his waist and shouted: "Your wife Pan and Yao Fu [***] are annihilated, you don't believe it!" ”

Yang Shangyuan's face turned red and white, and he said angrily: "You are spewing blood, I want to sue you." His hands were gripping the edge of the sedan chair, and his body was trembling.

Zhang Cao laughed again, shook his head and said: "Brother Yang is so pathetic, I can't bear to tell you that, think about it yourself, you still have rumors that stop at the wise, the bastard wise." ”

Over there, Yao Fu had already gotten off the sedan chair in front of the Confucianism gate and shouted: "Shang Yuan, Shang Yuan, come quickly." ”

Yang Shangyuan glared at Zhang Cao angrily, and Zhang Cao said: "The mansion and the county are all inside, you go and sue me for staining your innocence out of thin air, go quickly." ”

Yang Shangyuan got off the sedan chair in front of the gate of Confucianism in a hurry, Yao Fu was waiting for him, and he didn't have time to pay attention to his face, and said: "I was in a hurry, the road was bumpy, and the square scarf must have fallen halfway, so you borrow me the headscarf first." Reaching out, he took off Yang Shangyuan's scarf, put it on himself, turned around and entered the gate of Confucianism, and said without looking back: "You ask the servant to hurry back along the road to find it-"

Yang Shangyuan touched his head, the square scarf was gone, how could he see the official, he had no choice but to order the servant to hurry along the way to find it, but he saw a healthy servant of Xizhang coming over with a square scarf, and said, "Yang Xiucai, is this your square scarf?" ”

Yang Shangyuan saw that the headscarf was dyed with vegetables, green and oily, and said angrily: "Who dares to stain my scarf!" ”

This Western [***] servant is Nengzhu, and when he heard the words, he threw the square scarf at Yang Shangyuan's feet, and said with raised eyebrows: "I picked it up in the roadside ditch, and I came to ask you kindly, but you are so vicious, do you want to sue me too." "Turn around and go.

Yang Shangyuan looked at the filthy and green scarf at his feet, and suddenly woke up to the Ming Dynasty's etiquette hierarchy regulations, prostitutes and Lehu men only wear green headscarves, and wives cheating with others also call their husbands green turbans - Yang Shangyuan was so angry that his face was purple, his hands and feet were cold, in previous years, he and his cousin Yao Fu were embarrassed, and he did not do much to bully men and women, but he didn't expect to be bullied to the head today, and he was at a loss.

The two errand officers hurriedly came out and said loudly: "Student Yang Shangyuan, go to Minglun Hall quickly, and if you dare to delay, you will not be punished." ”

Yang Shangyuan touched his hair and said, "Let me go back and wear a scarf and come back-"

The two servants hugged him and said, "Lord Xianzun is in a hurry, and he is angry, go quickly." Half dragging and half holding Yang Shangyuan, he came to the outside of Minglun Hall before letting go of him.

In front of everyone's eyes, Yang Shangyuan had no choice but to go to the court and salute Xu Fuzun, Hou Xianzun, Sun Jiaoyu and others - Sun Jiaoyu was very displeased when he saw Yang Shangyuan coming to see him bareheaded, and shouted: "Yang Sheng is rude, where is the turban?" ”

Yang Shangyuan glanced at his cousin Yao Fu who was standing on the side, bowed his head and said, "The student is ashamed, he is in a hurry, and his turban is blown into the ditch by the wind——"

Hou Zhihan waved his hand and said: "That's it, don't blame him for being rude, he can't wear this scarf for a long time." ”

Yang Shangyuan's face was as pale as dirt, the hall was full of square scarves, and Zhang Yuan was also wearing a Confucian scarf, and he was the only one bareheaded, like a prisoner.

…… Such a grand event of eight shares, the harlequin is on stage, how can Zhang Cao stay outside the door of the instrument and stare dryly, but the guard does not let him go, although he is a wealthy man, he is not ignorant of the severity, he did not dare to make trouble here, he had an idea, and said: "My eldest father is in the hall, I have something important to report to my eldest father, if you delay the big thing, you two can't afford to be guilty." ”

Of course, the two errand officers recognized Zhang Cao, looked at each other, turned sideways, and let Zhang Cao in.

Zhang Cao came to the outside of Minglun Hall, stood with all the students, couldn't see clearly, couldn't hear clearly, desperately scolded by the eldest father, broke into the lobby and said: "Father, my grandson has an urgent report." The officials in the court gave a salute, walked straight to the eldest father Zhang Rulin and stood behind, and said softly: "Father, my grandson is here to observe the craftsmanship of the children." ”

Zhang Rulin knew that this inferior grandson was surnamed He De, so he snorted, ignored him and didn't drive him away.
