Chapter Forty-Eight: True Confession
Yao Fu stepped out of the Confucian door first, a servant and two sedan chair men were waiting outside the door, Yao Fu sat on the Fujian sedan chair, the servant held the sedan chair bar, walked away quickly, and walked to the light phase bridge half a mile away, Yao Fu turned around and lifted the sedan chair curtain to look at the school office, that Zhang Yuan also came out, and was talking to a small guy -
Yao Fu sneered, put down the sedan chair curtain, sat upright, his heart was quite unhappy, a little irritable, he felt inexplicable about his confusion and Zhang Yuan's gambling game, he was a dignified student, and a yellow-mouthed child was angry and bet, it was really a ** share, but just now in Confucianism to Taoism, Sun Jiaoyu and that Liu Zongzhou seemed to be deliberately conniving, which provoked him to gamble, what is it if Zhang Yuan's boy does not participate in the scientific examination for the rest of his life, Zhang Yuan's father is only a child after half his life, which is no different from not taking the scientific examination for life, And he wants to give up his fame to gamble with Zhang Yuan, although he knows that he will win, but he is not martial, and there is no benefit in winning, it is nothing more than cutting the face of the Zhang family in Shanyin-
Yao Fu is a little boring, but since he has made a contract, and this matter will be spreading, this must be gambling, in order to ensure that he will win, he also has to win over the first and second class students who took the first and second class exams last year, and he has to invite wine and gifts, fifty-four people, this expense is not small, but it can't be saved, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if the original kid can really write a good eight-strand essay after three months, then he is not bad, this must be taken into account, he is a lawyer, and he must be regarded as a last resort-
But now he said that he came to ask Sun Jiaoyu for leave, but he fell into such a gambling game with no money and no profit, Yao Fu felt very depressed.
……
"Young Master, what is Yao Litigator doing?" Xiao Xi Nu Wuling followed Zhang Yuan and asked.
Zhang Yuan said: "I made a bet with him, I want him to lose his fame." ”
Wu Ling was very excited and asked, "What is the young master betting with him, will he definitely win?" ”
Zhang Yuan said: "Bet on eight shares, how can I bet with him if I can't win." ”
There are some willow trees and Gongsun trees on the side of the bridge, and the cicadas on the willow trees are very loud in the afternoon sun, but after one or two autumn rains, these cicadas will disappear.
Zhang Yuan picked up a fallen leaf of a Gongsun tree on the ground, the leaves of the small fan were half green and half yellow, and the two fingers twisted the leaf stem and swirled violently, the leaves fluttered and fell, looking around, the blue sky was white, the small bridge was flowing water, and the mood seemed to be good.
It was already the end of the time when the master and servant returned home, and Mu Jingyan, a fallen citizen, was still standing in the front hall waiting, and when he saw Zhang Yuan coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Zhang Yuan said: "No need to be polite - did Miss Mu go back first?" ”
Mu Jingyan replied: "I really went in to see my grandmother, but I haven't come out yet." ”
Zhang Yuan instructed Xiao Shi: "Xiao Shi, let your mother prepare more meals for the two, and I will leave the Mu family's father and daughter to eat." ”
Mu Jingyan said in horror: "How dare the villain eat in the house." ”
Zhang Yuan said: "What is this, come, please sit down, I have something to ask you." Zhang Yuan was not too polite to Mu Jingyan, the degenerate people were used to being despised by others, if he was too polite, Mu Jingyan would be on pins and needles, but it would be difficult for him.
Mu Jingyan didn't even sit down, and said humbly: "What does the young master have to order?" ”
This yellow-bearded man stood there, even if he bowed, he was as powerful as half an iron tower, if he was riding a war horse and wearing a strong and stubborn man, how heroic he should be.
Zhang Yuan said: "Sit down, sit down and talk." ”
Mu Jingyan sat down at this time, and his posture was also with his waist and hips raised, ready to stand up at any time.
Zhang Yuan asked: "I don't think you look like a Han person, are your ancestors a Semu person?" Don't be afraid, I'm just curious, just ask. ”
Mu Jingyan accompanied him and said carefully: "Back to the young master's words, the villain's ancestors seem to be the Gelulu people on the other side of the Green Mountains, and the villain doesn't know which generation of ancestors came to the Central Plains when, but when he was young, he heard his father say that his ancestors were the commanders of the Tanma Red Army of the previous dynasty, and I don't know how many generations have passed since the villain's generation, and the names of the ancestors can't be remembered." ”
Zhang Yuanxin said: "What kind of army is the Tanma Red Army?" The rank of a commander is not low. Asked: "Your martial arts are family heirlooms, right?" ”
Mu Jingyan said: "When my father died, the villain was only twelve years old, and he didn't learn any martial arts, but only learned all the way to marksmanship. ”
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Miss Mu is also extraordinary. ”
Mu Jingyan said: "The villain didn't teach her, and she also watched and studied by herself, the villain was afraid that she would cause trouble, if she hadn't met the young master this time, the villain's father and daughter, alas-"
Zhang Yuan comforted: "You are such a martial artist, it is really condescending to be a sedan chair man, if you have the opportunity to join the army in the future, are you willing to join the army?" ”
Mu Jingyan's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, and said, "The villain's identity as a depraved person cannot join the army. ”
Zhang Yuan said: "Don't be in a hurry, there are always opportunities, heroes and heroes are not afraid of low backgrounds, your marksmanship and martial arts should not be wasted, and you can practice in your spare time." ”
Mu Jingyan was greatly moved, and responded: "Yes." ”
Xiao Shi ran back and said, "Young master, my wife has already ordered me to keep the meal, my mother has already prepared it, and the meal is about to start." ”
Zhang Yuan asked Shi Shuang to accompany Mu Jingyan, and he went into the inner courtyard to see his mother.
On the side of the large patio in the inner courtyard, the two pots of yellow begonia with withered flowers and leaves have been removed, and they have been replaced with two pots of monk shoe chrysanthemum and two pots of begonia, and the monk shoe chrysanthemum was sent by Lu Yungu, and the flowers bloomed just right.
Zhang's mother Lu sat on the verandah under the south building, the big girl Yiting and the little girl rabbit pavilion waited on the side, and the fallen girl Mu Zhenzhen sat on a small pestle in front of Zhang's mother Lu and spoke, and when she saw Zhang Yuan coming in, she quickly got up and shouted: "Young Master Zhang-" lowered his eyes and looked at the tips of his shoes, which were grass shoes, and his white toes were exposed.
Zhang's mother Lu smiled and asked, "My son, what did Mr. Xueda pass on to you?" ”
Zhang Yuan said: "Just ask my son how Bagu is, don't slack off." ”
Zhang's mother, Lu, said "um" and advised: "Although Mr. Xuedao said so, my son should not be too anxious, it is not good to be tired and healthy, especially to take care of his eyes." "The first two months of my son's eye disease frightened Lu.
Zhang Yuan said: "My son knows. ”
Zhang's mother Lu beckoned Mu Zhenzhen to come closer, and said: "It's really well-behaved, I have no mother at a young age, it's pitiful, let her come to my house often in the future, it can be regarded as my family's master, come to help when the New Year is busy, and also give her father and daughter a salary, what do I think?" ”
The fallen people of Sandai Street often recognize a pure white family as the master, so that they have a dependence, and they go to the Lord's house to help during the New Year's Festival, wedding, funeral, and birthday, and get some rewards from the Lord's family.
Zhang Yuan said: "Okay, my mother has decided." ”
Mu Zhenzhen couldn't hide her joy and said, "Then the little maid asked Daddy to kowtow to his wife." ”
Yi Ting and Mu Zhenzhen went out, and after a while, they came in with Mu Jingyan, Mu Jingyan kowtowed to Zhang's mother Lu across the patio, and Zhang's mother Lu said: "Okay, I recognize it, you go out." ”
Mu Jingyan withdrew.
Zhang's mother Lu Shi said to Mu Zhenzhen: "No wonder Zhenzhen is so tall at the age of fourteen, but it turns out that Zhenzhen's father is such an upgrown man - Zhenzhen is really taller than my son Zhang Yuan." ”
Mu Zhenzhen was really busy and said: "How can the little maid be as tall as the young master." "Bend your knees slightly to make yourself shorter.
Zhang Yuan smiled: "I really know martial arts, and I can fight very well, so I am tall." ”
Zhang's mother Lu Shi was also very interested, and said: "I heard Xiao Wu say, Zhenzhen beat a lama away with a stick, how did you beat it?" ”
The little girl Rabbit Pavilion didn't wait for instructions, and quickly found a wooden stick to show Mu Zhenzhen to his wife.
Mu Zhenzhen was really uneasy, her face turned red, and she said: "Madam, the little maid doesn't know martial arts, but she has a little brute force, and she is also forced to do it by the lama, and the little maid usually never fights with others." ”
Zhang's mother Lu did not force Mu Zhenzhen to play a stick, so she ordered to pass the meal, leaving the Mu family father and daughter to eat, after the meal, the Mu family father and daughter resigned and returned to Sandai Street, Zhang's mother Lu also gave the Mu family father and daughter some rice noodles and cloth, and told Mu Zhenzhen to come and go around often.
