Chapter 44. Things are exposed.
Just when Xiao Mo was being assessed by Zhu Ruide in Liu Zongsheng's mansion, two more young scholars appeared outside the Xiao family's courtyard. (This book is reproduced from the Pick-up Literature Network)
The two scholars, one south and one north, came to the gate of the Xiao family at the same time, and now after the two sides are saved, their faces have changed.
Among them, the short and fat scholar sneered at the other scholar: "It turned out to be Xiao Xiucai, why are you here again?" I advise you not to continue to pester Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao is very talented, and he will become a great weapon in the future, people like you who don't learn and only know how to study the left side will mistake him. ”
After Xiao Xiucai heard this person's words, his face was full of anger, and he stared at this person angrily for a long time, and finally thought of a counterattack strategy, and mocked: "Yes, Brother Xiao, he naturally has a bright future, so you, a person with no future, came to Brother Xiao to pull a relationship?" I'm afraid that Brother Xiao, he won't look down on you at all. ”
The short and fat scholar was unmoved, and continued to sneer: "Xiao Huan, do you know what it means to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? The relationship between me and Brother Xiao is a cultural exchange, a gentleman's friend, and a literati should be harmonious, which is very different from you, and you must not treat others with yourself in the future. ”
After finishing speaking, this person ignored Xiao Huan, who was angry and wanted to die, and turned around and knocked on the door of Xiao's house.
A moment later, the door of the Xiao Mansion slowly opened, and Wang Jirui appeared in front of the two.
After seeing the two of them, Wang Jirui couldn't help laughing, and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Fan Xiucai and Xiao Xiucai, did you come to find my young master?" It's really unfortunate, just now the county ordered Lord Liu to call my young master to talk, it is estimated that he will have to wait for a while before he can come back, or the two of you will go to the living room to wait for the meeting first? ”
After the two scholars saw that the person who came was Wang Jirui, they hurriedly said hello, but they knew very well that although the person in front of them regarded himself as a servant in the Xiao family, he actually had the same talent and fame as the two of them, and his knowledge was not as good as the two, so they didn't dare to slack off at all.
After Wang Jirui returned the salute, he took the two to see Xiao Shenyan, led the two to sit in the study, and after serving tea, he confessed to the two and left in a hurry.
These days, the climate is dry, the temperature is gradually dropping, Xiao Shenyan occasionally contracted the wind and cold, and he still had to go to serve.
After the two scholars sat down, they glanced at each other, and then snorted coldly at the same time, don't start, they both disdain to look at each other again.
It turned out that these two scholars were named Xiao Huan and Fan Guan respectively, and they were one of Xiao Mo's few friends in Shanxian County.
After Xiao Mo obtained the fame of Xie Yuan a year ago, countless people came to visit, and Xiao Mo also met a lot of literati in Shanxian County, but only Xiao Huan and Fan Guan were able to be sincerely accepted by Xiao Mo as friends.
Coincidentally, after Xiao Mo's first story "Immortal Road Quest" appeared in the "Chongwen Bookstore", Xiao Huan was the leader of the support faction of that story, and Fan Guan was the backbone of the opposition.
However, Xiao Mo became friends with the two, not because of this reason, among the countless scholars who came to visit in those days, there were no more than three purposes, either to use Xiao Mo to make a name for himself, or to have a relationship with Xiao Mo, or to fight with Xiao Mo, so as to prove that although he was not Xie Yuan, he was better than Xie Yuan.
Among the scholars, only Xiao Huan and Fan Guan had a simple purpose, just to visit and learn by the way.
After a long conversation between the two and Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo's casual and peaceful temperament made both of them feel that Xiao Mo and themselves were very close to each other, coupled with their admiration for Xiao Mo's knowledge, they both regarded Xiao Mo as a real friend, and they often visited Xiao Mo's home this year, and every time they talked to Xiao Mo, they would feel that they had benefited a lot.
For Xiao Mo, Xiao Huan is a simple person and has never been able to hide his thoughts, although he is a little impulsive, but it is very reassuring to have friends with him; Fan Guan is stubborn, he has always only admitted death, although his personality is a little bitter, but he has never had any bad intentions.
When he learned about the grievances between the two, Xiao Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart about fate, plus these two people are different from most readers, and they are quite interesting to get along with, so they really regard these two people as friends, and they have been in contact often for a year, and after Xiao Mo changed his house, only these two people knew Xiao Mo's new residence.

But it was said that Xiao Huan and Fan Guan were in the same room, and Xiao Mo was in the middle as a buffer before, just when the other party didn't exist, Xiao Mo had not yet returned, and they both felt extremely awkward when they got along with each other alone.
After a long time, Xiao Huan drank the last sip of tea, and then didn't look at Fan Guan again, got up and walked towards Xiao Mo's study, wanting to find a few books to kill time.
He was already very familiar with Xiao Mo, and he also knew that Xiao Mo was easy-going, but he was not afraid that Xiao Mo would blame him afterwards.
Seeing Xiao Huan's movements, Fan Guan hesitated slightly, but he also walked towards the study, and muttered: "The master is not here, I can only help Brother Xiao take care of the house, who knows if this person who can only study the side door has studied the way of stealing, the four treasures of the study in Brother Xiao's study are worth a lot of money, and they can't just be lost." ”
Hearing Fan Guan's words, Xiao Huan almost fell down angrily, but he also knew that he was not Fan Guan's opponent in the fight, so he simply ignored it, and just came to the study by himself and looked for books in front of the bookshelf.
Looking around, Xiao Huan seemed to see something, his body shook, he suddenly turned around, walked two steps to Xiao Mo's desk, picked up a stack of manuscripts, and looked at them carefully.
But at the top of the manuscript, the words "Ask the Immortal to Lower Volume" were written. As a loyal fan of "Self-disturbing Layman", Xiao Huan knows very well that the next volume of "Asking Immortals" has not yet been released. So, on Xiao Mo's desk, why is there a manuscript for the next volume of "Ask the Immortals"? Tong Guò's understanding of the "self-disturbing layman", Xiao Huan knows very well that the stories in front of him are indeed written by the "self-disturbing layman", and what he holds in his hand is very likely to be the original manuscript of the "self-disturbing layman".
Why did the original manuscript of "Self-Disturbing Layman" appear on Xiao Mo's desk?
Don't......
Thinking of a certain possibility, Xiao Huan's body trembled with excitement.
"What's wrong? Why are you so excited? ”
Seeing Xiao Huan's appearance, Fan Guan was puzzled and asked Xiao Huan.
Seeing that Xiao Huan didn't pay attention to him, Fan Guan stepped forward to check it, but he didn't expect Xiao Huan to block Fan Guan's gaze as soon as he struggled and turned around, without the slightest intention of looking at the same thing as Fan Guan.
Fan Guan felt bored, so he casually picked up another stack of manuscripts from Xiao Mo's desk and looked at them.
"Huh?"
Looking at the manuscript in his hand, Fan Guan sighed lightly.
"The New Interpretation of the Mean", this book seems to have never been heard of, looking at the outline of the painting, it should be the original manuscript, it seems to be written by Xiao Mo.
Fan Guan didn't pay much attention to the book "The Mean", like most readers in this era, and continued to read it with curiosity, but soon, Fan Guan became more and more fascinated the more he looked at it, his body gradually began to tremble, his face flushed, and he was even more excited than Xiao Huan.
Just when the two of them were holding a manuscript and reading excitedly, Wang Jirui came to the study and looked at the things in their hands, but they were startled.
Xiao Mo was in a hurry, and he had to take care of Xiao Shenyan, so he didn't have time to pack up these manuscripts, just now Wang Jirui suddenly remembered this matter and hurried over, but he didn't expect that he had already been seen by these two people first.
