Fu Zhiliang was very guilty, but I thought open-mindedly.

The dormitory arranged by the imperial court was originally a room for four people, but except for me, the three people were all from the capital, so I picked up a cheap one to live alone.

Think about yourself being treated preferentially, and you can't ask for too much.

Fu Zhiliang began to take me to prepare for classes together, and a new batch of students was about to enroll, and all departments had to prepare for classes collectively and arrange new class schedules.

Seeing that the four departments, the law department, and the calligraphy department are all wide open courtyard doors, the tables and chairs of golden silk nanmu are placed in a staggered manner, and there are more than a dozen people in the courtyard, from doctors to teaching assistants.

As soon as I stepped into the gate of the National Prison with a thick stack of lesson plans, I was stunned by the overcrowding of all the ministries and courtyards.

"Hey, don't get in the way." A woman's clear voice sounded behind her.

"Ahh I quickly moved out of the way, a little embarrassed.

"I know you." The woman in front of me looked at me from top to bottom, and snorted from her nose: "You are the Fu Yazi who was admitted from a poor place, right, aren't you from the school department, what kind of excitement are you running to the school department, what, want to change jobs?" ”

I grimaced and looked at the woman in front of me.

The red silk flower gold silk long skirt is long and dragged on the ground, and a phoenix butterfly gilt hairpin is inserted obliquely in the sideburns.

"Why, how long has it been since you were dumb?" The woman lifted her chin contemptuously, and the hibiscus soft-soled shoes on her feet stepped on my feet unceremoniously, and they crushed hard before squeezing out between her teeth: "I usually made you out of the limelight in the school, and now I should let you taste jealousy." ”

After that, he led people away, leaving me alone in the midst of everyone's discussions.

"Are you alright?" Fu Zhiliang didn't know how long he stood behind me, and it wasn't until I withdrew from the crowd that I saw him standing with his hands in his hands.

I lowered my eyes, and the grievance of being humiliated in public suddenly came to my heart, maybe I had been away from home for too long, and Fu Zhiliang's thin figure coincided with the appearance of Daddy in my memory.

"That's Lin Yunyun, the only daughter of Yin in the capital mansion, unlike you who are Yougongsheng, Lin Yunyun is in the courtyard of Gongjin." Fu Zhiliang silently walked beside me, and said in a normal tone: "Relying on my family, I am used to being arrogant on weekdays, and it is common to contradict doctoral teaching assistants, so don't take it to heart." ”

"But I don't know her." I muttered confused, "Why did she attack me?" ”

Fu Zhiliang smiled, stood still, and looked at me: "Because you are better than her in reading." ”

"Girl, your academic performance is excellent, Lin Wanyun is in the same batch of scientific examinations as you, among the women who teach the class, you are very famous, she has been pampered since she was a child, and suddenly you stole the limelight, and it is natural to hate you."

"Speaking of which, I'm very glad that you chose Guozijian, and you didn't go to the Hanlin Academy like those who chase fame and fortune, and contribute your skills to academic research, this is meaningful, are you right?"

I didn't dare nod, I was ashamed.

Fu Zhiliang regarded me as a person who had great righteousness in his heart and was determined to dedicate himself to the construction of the country.

But I just wanted to make money.

Can't figure it out.

Secretly looked at Fu Zhiliang's back, wearing a cyan coarse cloth robe, the cuffs were washed white, and the rolled fluff could be clearly seen in the sun.

Fu Zhiliang moved the damp cedar tables and chairs in the house into the courtyard, wanting to bask in the sun to get rid of the moisture.

In a gesture, an imperceptible patch under his armpit was exposed.

Fu Zhiliang earns a lot of money, and he has no children, why is it so hard and simple.

"Let's come to the house for a light meal in the evening." Fu Zhiliang stopped and sent me an invitation: "It just so happens that the insider is making cakes today, I don't know if you like to eat them or not." ”

Fu Zhiliang took me to a small courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing.

From a distance, I saw an orange lantern hanging in front of the small courtyard, although it was not very bright, but the lamp body was spotlessly clean.

A rickety old lady stood in front of the door, looking forward to it.

"Danqin, I'm back." Fu Zhiliang has always walked at a very average speed, but when he arrived at the hospital, he walked like a fly.

Fu Zhiliang and his wife have been together for decades, and the couple have a deep affection and extraordinary affection.

And the most rare thing is that Mrs. is more than ten years older than Fu Zhiliang.

I have never seen Fu Zhiliang so gentle.

In front of the students, he was an unsmiling gentleman, and in the academy he was a unsociable doctor, but in front of his wife, he smiled like a child.

Fu Zhiliang and his wife were busy in the small kitchen, and his wife baked cakes, and he was responsible for cutting vegetables and serving dishes.

There were only three of us, but we had a total of eight dishes.

After three rounds of drinking, Fu Zhiliang was a little drunk, and he said to me with red eyes: "Literati, what good can it do to the construction of the country, except for writing some flirtatious words and moaning without illness, then the poems may fill the banks of the broken embankments, and the taxes will be apportioned or the grain will be proportional?" ”

Fu Zhiliang drank another glass, shook his head and said: "The civil officials are in charge, and the school department has not been completed!" When the first emperor was there, arithmetic was at its peak and advanced, but now it is all broken. ”

"I've been depressed all my life, and I have no ambition but nowhere to do it, and there's nothing I can do except teach hard." Fu Zhiliang put down his wine glass, a little sad: "Fortunately, I have two disciples, you and Liruo, and there are successors, I am very pleased, my Jin Shun arithmetic is finally not extinct." ”

Fu Zhiliang took out a stack of folded rice paper from his cuff and handed it to me.

"What is this?"

"Over the years, I have helped some poor students with my insiders, and we hope that the pillars of the future will be able to re-emerge in arithmetic in order to build a solid foundation."

I silently unfolded the rice paper, and the thick paper was densely written with names and addresses.

"I hope you can go back and transcribe a copy of these names, and if there is a chance in the future, I hope the girl can take them on the road of arithmetic."

"I'm old." Fu Zhiliang sighed: "Today's topic is a bit heavy, but I am almost seventy years old, and it is only the past two years." ”

Looking at Fu Zhiliang's white cuffs, I know why he is so hard and thrifty.

But I still can't figure it out, and I don't realize enough.

Approaching the wax moon, heavy snow suddenly fell in the capital.

The snow, which was as light as cotton wool, fell on the bare branches, crushing the willows to the waist.

I grew up in Lu County, where the four seasons are like spring, warm and warm, and I have never seen anything so white.

Fu Shuye came to the letter, he said, "The autumn color is deep, the day is cold under the pond, the redtail fish is also lazy, and they don't chase the bait in the pond on weekdays, the fallen leaves are flying, and the autumn wind is sorrowful." The coming day is approaching, and I hope that my sister will return on Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

At that time, I was busy with the year-end summary and the exam questions for the year-end exam.

Fu Shuye's letter was piled up on the high desk by me, and I forgot to reply to it when I was so busy that I forgot to reply to it.

When I think about it again, it is already a young year.

With the distribution of the New Year's Eve and the monthly income I usually saved, I began to pack my luggage.

The capital is full of lights, and the people who are bound to work on weekdays are all flocking to the streets, and all the shops are also erecting signs at the door to sell New Year's goods at discounts.

Fu Zhiliang gave me a pair of cloud-headed brocade shoes, and he remembered how I was trampled on my feet by Lin Yunyun that day.

I gave back a Zihao pen to replace Fu Zhiliang's brush.

A new pawn shop had opened in the city, and I only found out when I walked around.

This pawnshop opened next to the teahouse where Fan Dangsheng invited me to tea.

"The second courtyard in the south of the city is exquisite, the scenery is beautiful and the north and south are transparent, and the transportation is convenient and complete." I whispered, "Super low price, installment payment." ”

Somehow, the foot walked in disobeying.

The pawnshop owner dragged me all the way to the south of the city, so south that I couldn't go any further, and then south was the city wall.

"How does this reflect the ease of transportation?"

"Girl, look, out of the courtyard gate is the city tower, and there is a horseman at the entrance of the city tower, this is the foot power to go wherever you want to go!"

"What about the complete set?"

"Girl, look at it again, out of the hospital gate is the city tower, there are tea stalls, bun stalls, jewelry and cloth stalls at the entrance of the city tower, as well as barefoot doctors walking around, food, clothing, housing and medical care, this is a comprehensive coverage."

"What about the beautiful scenery?"

"Girl, you look again, out of the courtyard gate is the city tower, the entrance of the city tower is planted with a decades-old big locust tree, spring and summer to take advantage of the cool and summer is the most comfortable, green leaves shade, protect the eyes and nourish the spirit, so comfortable."

“......”

I don't speak, he can talk nonsense.

The pawnshop shopkeeper pushed open the gate of the courtyard, and there was a narrow area with an unknown dead tree planted in the middle, which had been left unattended for a long time and died for an unknown time.

To the left into the inner courtyard, a boxy courtyard appeared in front of me, although the bluestone and white tile tiles were washed by the years of potholes, but clean and showed the original color.

There are two wings in the middle, there is a warehouse on the left side of the courtyard, a small kitchen on the right, and even in front of the kitchen, there is a well.

Staying here, you don't have to go out to fetch water again.

The shopkeeper saw the love in my eyes, talked to me about the benefits of the house, and even took out the deed to show me to prove that the property rights were clear.

"This house, how much." My heart was pounding, and I had never had such a strong desire to own something.

"Four hundred and fifty taels of silver, no counteroffer."

I don't know how to get back to the house.

I want to buy two in and two out of the yard for my father and aunt, how simple it is, but I only get three taels a month, deducting living expenses, if it is not for the court to provide a house, I am afraid I would have already slept on the streets, how to repay my father.

Moved out of the abacus and counted with stiff fingers.

The monthly salary is three taels, and the annual Lu is thirty-six taels, which is a total of seventy-two taels.

Four hundred and fifty taels, if I don't eat or drink for more than six years.

Even though I can officially teach and enjoy the bonus after the year, it is not more than 100 taels a year.

It will also take more than four years.

Could it be that more than ten years of hard study and hard work day and night can only be exchanged for being homeless in the capital and far away from his family?

For the first time, I questioned myself.

Did knowledge really change my fate?

Fu Shuye was tied to his hometown to take care of his parents, just to fulfill my ideals, and my father and aunt worked hard to make money, just for me to see the world further.

But the crow can still feed back, what can I do?
