Chapter 36: The Old Man

When the three masters of Taoli School saw Wen Zhesang, they saw that she had just eaten the last sugar gourd, and inexplicably, there was a bit of fireworks.

"Old Man Wei let people rob students?" At first hearing the news, Wen Zhesang still couldn't believe his ears. She had always heard that Old Man Wei was highly respected, but she didn't expect him to do such a thing.

After there were more students in the school, the three masters discussed and divided into two places, Master Fang taught Class A with foundation, and Master Zhu taught younger students in Class B. As for Master Zeng, because of his health, he only cares about some trivial things in the school. The person who met Wen Zhesang today was Zeng Fuzi.

Speaking of Old Man Wei, Master Zeng could only sigh, "I thought that without the support of the rich families, Old Man Wei would give up the idea of running a school, but I didn't expect him to see that Yunting Academy couldn't recruit students, so he let people lobby around." Just yesterday, someone lied about delivering food to his son-in-law, and sneaked into the school to make trouble. I was also so angry that I beat him out, but I didn't even think about sending him to the yamen. ”

For every Master, the school is a sacred place for teaching and nurturing people, and no one is allowed to go wild. So yesterday Master Zeng was half angry to death, and he didn't think of Wen Zhesang for a while, so he told the man to run away in vain.

Zeng Fuzi said that he couldn't help coughing twice, and his body, which was easy to recuperate, seemed to have collapsed because of this incident.

"What exactly is Old Man Wei's plan?" Wen Zhesang couldn't figure it out, to put it mildly, he was already a half-buried person, so chasing fame and fortune, even if he got it in the end, he couldn't take it away.

Zeng Fuzi could only shake his head when he heard this, "I have inquired, the rich man who used to please him has long drawn a line with him, and now the people who help him are his former students." But the literati are light, and the Yunting Academy and we don't deal with each other, so I can't ask why. ”

"If you want me to say, just tie him up, it's a hundred." Xie Yikou said. Although the old man didn't make any big trouble, it was really annoying to make such a small move. Besides, my lord, she has finally been free, and she will definitely have to worry about this matter of Old Man Wei.

What he said was angry, but Zeng Fuzi took it seriously, and waved his hand again and again like last time, but this time, he was worried that tying up Old Man Wei would make Wen Zhesang be criticized by some literati. knows that the reason why Old Man Wei dares to make such a fuss is probably because of his group of students.

As soon as Master Zeng said what was in his heart, he listened to Wen Zhesang say: "I am a scholar, but I do something that is degrading to the literati, which disgraces the literati." ”

"There's no way to do that." Zeng Fuzi couldn't help but sigh.

Old Man Wei is their master, how can they not support it?

Speaking of which, Zeng Fuzi instead wrapped himself in. He reacted and simply stopped talking.

Wen Zhesang's eyes drooped, she had eaten closed-door soup in Wei Mansion before, and then all kinds of trivial matters were complicated, and she had never seen Old Man Wei until now. The golden crow had fallen behind the mountains, and the evening breeze blew away the sweltering heat of a hundred days, and lifted the hair in her ears. "It seems that I have to go and see Old Man Wei."

Seeing that the night was falling, Wen Zhesang was a woman after all, and it was inconvenient to find the door at night, so he explained a few words to Master Zeng and asked him to go as usual. Then he led Xie Yikou back to the yamen.

On a sweltering summer night, a sudden thunderstorm tore through the sky, and bean-sized raindrops poured down. The wind tore at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, making it difficult for people to be stable in their dreams.

The raindrops blown by the wind hit the window lattice and soaked in a layer of water.

When the day is about to dawn, the rainstorm will stop.

In a mountain town restaurant far away from Qingfeng County, a person suddenly came out of the first-class guest room, went downstairs, and went directly to the shopkeeper.

"Doctor? Is the guest officer unwell? The shopkeeper was an old man in his sixtieth year, and his eyes were a little dizzy, so he couldn't see who was coming, but he felt that his voice was quite familiar: "Alas, young man, his body should be just right." Girl, are you sick? What's uncomfortable? ”

Xia Zhi pursed his lips and said impatiently: "Do you know?" If something happens to my young lady, it won't be enough to compensate you for selling this broken restaurant! ”

Listening to this sharp and arrogant voice, the shopkeeper seemed to remember, put his hands in his sleeves, held back his chatter, and said: "Go out, turn left to the second fork, turn right again, and you can find a doctor at the end." ”

Xia Zhi raised his feet and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped again and said to him: "You find someone to help me go to the doctor, as soon as possible, silver is not a problem." ”

"Nope." The shopkeeper didn't raise his eyes when he touched the abacus, "The old man's temple is small, and he is a runner, so you will be taken away, who will greet the guests?" ”

"...... you" Xia Zhimei's eyes were round, and the shopkeeper didn't pay attention to him, Xiao Er stood at the top of the stairs, and hurriedly pretended to be busy when he heard the words.

Xia Zhi couldn't do anything, so he lifted his skirt and trotted to find a doctor.

As soon as she left, Xiao Er leaned over and asked, "Fourth grandfather, don't you make any money?" ”

"Earn a fart!" The shopkeeper snorted coldly, "I don't know where the dolls came from, and they have gone to the sky with a few broken silver tails." ”

Xiao Er touched his head and also remembered the day Xia Solstice and his party arrived at the restaurant. There are few people who come to stay in this town all year round, and I thought that this time it would be able to open, but who knew that the maid had to treat herself as a young lady. The ground here is dirty, and the chairs are old there. I had to change my meal three or five times, and I almost made the cook angry.

He couldn't help but shake his arm, thinking to himself, fortunately, that young lady doesn't have a shelf, otherwise this small restaurant would not have to be closed by Huo Huo?

I think of the ...... in the upper room. Xiao Er's eyes couldn't help but glance upstairs, that young lady was really, really out of place in their dilapidated town. Just that appearance and that temperament make people feel ashamed when they see it.

Xia Zhi thought about his own young lady in his heart, thinking about the words of the shopkeeper in his mind, and asked for directions while looking for it, and really found a medical hall with a lot of doors.

"Miss! Miss! The doctor is here! ”

The shopkeeper and Xiao Er only saw the summer solstice wind "swoop" upstairs, followed by the panting doctor.

Although it is the best guest room in the restaurant, it is only a half-new furniture, but fortunately, it pays attention to ventilation on weekdays, and there is no strange smell.

Xia Zhi led the doctor all the way to the sickbed and urged: "Doctor, help my young lady take a look, young lady, she vomited when she got up early in the morning, and she had a headache and dizziness......"

The doctor was disturbed and had a headache, and he didn't see the patient's appearance through the curtain. It's just to see a doctor, and it's not a guess out of thin air, he said, "Girl, please stretch out your hand." ”

Xia Zhi glanced at him, Xu saw that he was over half a hundred years old, and he was anxious to see a doctor, so he stepped forward and whispered a few words to Shui Yanwei.

"How...... Ahem, why did you hire a doctor again? How many doctors have I seen along the way, cough ...... No matter how much medicine I take, I can't get better......" Shui Yanwei's voice was weak, and she sounded dissatisfied.

Xia Zhi said in a good voice: "Miss, let the doctor take a look, aren't you in a hurry to go to Qingfeng County?" If you don't have a good body, you don't know when you'll be able to get there. ”

"Well, I ...... cough cough cough ...... I also want to see Sister Wen as soon as possible......" As he spoke, a piece of his wrist stretched out from the brocade quilt. Xia Zhi hurriedly stepped aside and gave the doctor a look.

Qingfeng County.

The courtyard of the yamen was full of potholes, and a pool of stagnant water reflected a clear blue and cloudless sky. Last night's heavy rain washed away the summer heat, and the wind blowing in was rarely cool.

Jiang Weixi was ordered to go to the post station early in the morning to stay for a few days, and several cooks in the back kitchen knew, one stuffed peanuts, and the other gave red dates, and the winter snow was depressed. It's not like I'm running away, it's like I'm going to go far away, and I'm never going back.

"Thank you, aunts, when I come back, bring the rouge of Fangshuizhai to the aunts!" Jiang Weixi waved at the cooks excitedly, causing several people to laugh and scold.

"You're a good mix." Dongxue grabbed the peanut in his arms, "The adults are worried about Miss Shui, but I don't know where she has gone, you go to the post station and wait for a few more days, if you can wait for Miss Shui's letter, it would be the best." ”

Jiang Weixi was curious: "Who is that Miss Shui?" Adults seem to care about her. ”

Dong Xue didn't think about it, so she said: "She is a friend of the adults in Shangjing, anyway, she is the eldest lady of a high-ranking family, and she came to us to meet the adults." When the time comes, you must not be lazy. ”

"I haven't seen anyone yet, but the shelf is quite big." Jiang Weixi smiled heartlessly.

Dong Xue suddenly stopped, glanced at him, and reminded: "Don't say this in front of Miss Shui or adults...... Oh, you go, go, don't delay! ”

"Got it, got it." Jiang Weixi put away the mess and walked outside the yamen, where there were already officials waiting for horses at the door.

"Gone!" Jiang Weixi shouted, and stepped on the road to the post station with full curiosity and a little banter.

On the other side, Wen Zhesang and Xie Yikou, who had long left the yamen, happened to arrive at the Wei Mansion, and as usual, Xie Yikou stepped forward to call the door.

"It's coming! Wang Fuzi ...... today: "Why did you come so early?"

The porter's face was still full of joy that he didn't have time to restrain himself, but the moment he saw Xie Yikou, his face changed suddenly, as if he was choked by a fly, and even vaguely felt a little pain in his waist.

"It's really a blue sky and a demon wind blowing in the daytime!" The porter scolded in a low voice, and subconsciously wanted to close the door. However, Xie Yikou was already prepared, raised his foot against the door panel, and easily stopped the concierge's movements.

"Long time no see, why don't you invite us in and sit?" Xie Yikou looked like a scoundrel and looked upset at the porter.

But when he thought that Xie Yikou had been cruel to him, the porter was scared again, and secretly glanced at Wen Zhesang, and saw that her expression was calm, so he whispered: "My master has to discuss with a few masters today, and he really has no time." Why don't you ...... Come back another day? ”

Xie Yikou didn't move: "Coincidentally, we also have something to find Old Man Wei." ”

The porter twitched, "This...... This ......"

At this time, Wen Zhesang stepped forward, "It's just that Master Wei had something to do last time and it was inconvenient to see each other, and today he excused himself for some reason, I'm afraid that he has the intention of relying on the old and selling the old?" ”
