When he said this, it seemed that a floodgate had been opened in his heart, and all the things that had been hidden by Qing'er before were finally said by him.

And from Qing'er's mouth, Sang Xuanyue learned that those people began to reject Qing'er, and the earliest thing was after that fight.

That fight?

Sang Xuanyue's heart was excited, and she remembered something, "It was you who were stopped and beaten by Wang Hongyuan and Wang Hongcai, was that time, right?" ”

Qing'er gritted her teeth and said, "Yes." ”

Before that fight, he had a very good relationship with his classmates at the private school. Everyone privately referred to each other as brothers, and even informed each other of the date of birth and talked about the eldest and youngest brothers.

But since that fight, everything has been different.

At that time, several classmates were injured in order to save him, although my sister asked Sister Suxin to send a generous gift in time afterwards, but the pimple still existed.

When Sang Xuanyue heard her younger brother say this, she suddenly understood everything.

It was also her negligence that she forgot that these days are not as simple as ordinary private school students.

Although their status was not enough for them to enter the country, they lived in Dongcheng, and there were generally officials in their families. In this case, if your own child is injured in order to save someone else's child, will the parents not be sad, and will they not be disgusted with the student who caused trouble?

In this case, no parent is sensible. Even if they knew in their hearts that the matter had nothing to do with Qing'er, he was also a victim. But everything started because of him, Wang Hongyuan and Wang Hongcai recognized him, so they beat him desperately, and then implicated the rest of the students.

If their family is good, if they have high-ranking officials in their family, even if those parents are dissatisfied, they will swallow this breath. But the Sang family has no other people's relatives, and the sisters and brothers are ordinary widows and children.

My own child was injured in order to save a child who had no money and no power, and the parent would be calm in exchange?

They didn't come to the door on the same day, which was already their good cultivation. But it is impossible to expect them to say good things in front of their children, or encourage them to have fellowship with Qing'er in the future. The most likely thing they can do is to reprimand the child and then try to prevent them from playing with the student who is so troublesome.

The truth is indeed as Sang Xuanyue thought.

Those classmates who came to help Qing'er, although there were no major injuries on their bodies, but because Wang Hongyuan and Wang Hongcai were like vicious dogs, they caught people and bit them, and there were many wounds visible to the naked eye on their exposed skin.

The fact that these students were able to send Zheng Fuzi's private school to their families shows that their families value them and are even more optimistic about their future. As a result, because of helping his classmates fight, he slapped his face, how can this be done?

This is also the timeliness of their own little girl's pull, otherwise the child will be disfigured, how will he be promoted in the future, and how will he become an official in the court?

Qing'er's classmates were a little unimpressed with the chatter of their families at first. They have children and families, and they don't think there's anything wrong with helping their classmates fight. They are chivalrous, childish, and they feel that they should help others when they are in trouble. But when they were preached by their families, saying "what will happen if they are disfigured", the children were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and they all regretted and feared.

It was also because of this regret and fear that the parents asked them not to contact Qing'er, saying that he was causing trouble, and they also listened to it.

They were estranged from Qing'er from that time, but at first they were only estranged, and because this estrangement was issued by their own side, those classmates were still a little weak-minded.

But after somehow, things gradually escalated, and Qing'er was gradually rejected and resisted.

When the matter of "Sang Family's Hidden Treasure" leaked, a large number of books of the Sang family were burned in the ghost house in Beicheng, which brought the contradiction between the two sides to a peak.

On the one hand, the classmates felt that the Sang family must have better books than the collection in the yamen, and if Qing'er regarded them as friends, they should take them out and share them together, so that they could also take the top exam.

Qing'er naturally didn't recognize this, and only said that all the books at home had moved to Beicheng. Clinker's every move was watched, and the house was stolen not long after. And the gangsters were vicious, inadvertently set the books on fire, and didn't even want to extinguish the fire, but first thought about escaping.

So it's not that he doesn't care about his classmates, but that there are really no books in his home, and the books are really all turned to ashes in the fire.

Qing'er said that she was sincere, but these classmates didn't believe it at all. Not only did they not believe it, but even their families felt that this could not be true. It is said that eggs cannot be put in the same basket, and the risk should be shared equally. Everyone knows this truth, and the Sang family sisters and brothers will not be ignorant. Therefore, if they are unlucky, it is possible that the collection of books placed in one place is discovered, but if they say that all the books of their ancestors are placed in that haunted house, and there is not a single book in other places, this is a fool, and this is simply not treating them as classmates, so they will be so stingy and so foolish. In the final analysis, it's just that Sang Qingyue is scheming, he doesn't want to add a few opponents, and he doesn't want everyone to be the champion.

It's about their own interests, which of those classmates can calm down? Moreover, they also felt that what their family said was very reasonable. So I hated Qing'er more and more, and felt more and more that he was a scheming person, who would only deceive, and he was really a villain and could not be befriended.

Qing'er said what he had to say in a few words, although he had minimized the viciousness and unreasonableness of his classmates, and tried to downplay things as much as possible. As long as Sang Twisting Moon remembered that her brother had been in that kind of environment full of malice towards him for so many days, she felt a sense of suffocation.

She grabbed her neck and felt the direction of her throat, feeling like she was going to be out of breath.

Seeing this, Su Wen hurriedly walked over, and while pressing some acupuncture points on Sang Xuanyue's body, he gently persuaded him: "Girl, calm down, don't keep your spirits tight." Take it easy, take it easy. ”

When Qing'er saw this scene, he was so frightened that people were numb, he rushed over at once, crying and shouting "sister" and "sister" twice.

Sang Xuanyue finally relieved her breath, and her complexion finally improved a lot. She drank a cup of tea with Su Wen's hand, and then eased her spirit, until her hands were no longer trembling, she reached out and pulled her brother up: "I'm okay, don't be afraid, sit in your place." ”

Qing'er timidly sat back in his place.

Sang Xuanyue asked: "Such a big thing happened to you, it is impossible for Zhuye and Zhuqing not to know." I told them that if they found anything wrong with you, they would go home and tell me immediately, but so far, they haven't said anything to me. You say, did you coerce them into telling me the truth? ”

Qing'er gritted her teeth and answered, "Yes." ”

Sang Xuanyue got angry again, and turned back to find a feather duster. Qing'er hurriedly begged for mercy: "Sister, don't be angry, I was wrong, I don't want you to worry about me." Sister, you spare me this time, you can spare me this time. ”

"Okay, you are my own brother, I will let you go this time, I will not be angry with you. But Zhu Ye and Zhu Qing are against the yin and yang, and I have to punish them this time. ”

Qing'er was even more scared than she was going to suffer when she heard this.

How can you hit bamboo leaves and bamboo greens? They wanted to tell his sister the truth, but he forced him to die, and said that if they dared to tell the story, he would never let them follow him again. Zhuye and Zhuqing used to live a hard life, hungry and full, and there was no human appearance, but now that they are finally living well, who wants to go back to the past? If they don't care about their own honor and disgrace, can they really care about his life?

The two had no choice but to pretend to be deaf and dumb. But they kept it a secret for him, how could he not save him when he died?

Qing'er said, "Sister spare them, they didn't dare to tell my sister after listening to me." If my sister punishes them this time, then my words will no longer have any prestige in their hearts, and who will treat me sincerely in the future? Sister, I promise that this is the first and last time, and I will not dare to deceive my sister in any way in the future, my sister will look at my face and spare them. ”

Sang Xuanyue's original purpose was not to punish Zhuye and Zhuqing, but to make her younger brother dare not deceive her anymore. Now that the goal has been achieved, Sang Xuanyue is naturally no longer entangled. However, she still made a reluctant appearance, letting Qing'er know that this was really the last time, and also let Zhuye and Zhuqing, who would hear this later, understand that if you really do things for the master, the master will really give up his life to protect you. They will protect Qing'er right, and whoever protects the master in the future will have benefits.

After thinking about this matter, Sang Xuanyue asked Qing'er calmly, "You have made it clear why your classmates excluded you, what about Master Zheng, how does Master Zheng dislike you?" ”

Qing'er's face stiffened when she heard this, she was afraid that her sister would not be able to stand the stimulation anymore, but Sang Xuanyue just looked at him and said, "I can stand it, you just have to say yours." Qing'er, my sister didn't expect that my kindness would harm you so far, now you tell my sister the truth, so that I feel less anxious. ”

"Good...... I told my sister, sister, don't worry, listen to me slowly. ”

Zheng Fuzi is actually very decent, and he is indeed very good at teaching and educating people, so although he was unfavorable in the imperial examination and failed to become an official, he has also trained countless students in the past few decades, which can be called a sentence "peach and plum all over the world".

Zheng Fuzi is well-educated and has a good temperament, but there is one thing, that is, he has a stubborn personality, if he recognizes one thing, ten cows will not be able to pull it back.

Zheng Fuzi liked Qing'er very much at first, and felt that this student had spirituality, and he could understand it at one point, and he was really a good seedling.

But since the treasure case, the news of the burning of books has reached the ears of Zheng Fuzi. Zheng Fuzi didn't stubbornly think that the Sang family had other books like the students—in fact, it didn't matter if there were other books, he wouldn't covet other people's things, he had lived for half his life, and he wouldn't do such a shameless thing.

But the Sang family shouldn't have let the books in the haunted house be burned. They should not risk their books, let alone trade the uncertain future of these books for the peaceful life of their siblings.

Yes, Master Zheng is an old man, and he has a different opinion on the burning of books in the haunted house.

In his old man's opinion, this is a bureau, and the Sang family sisters and brothers chose to throw these "hot potatoes" out in order to live a stable life, so as to give everyone the illusion that "the Sang family's collection of books is destroyed, and the Sang family's treasures do not exist in the world".

The Sang family sisters and brothers want to live a stable life, and Master Zheng is very considerate of this matter. But it would be too ruthless and shameless for you to choose this method to achieve the end without compromising the means.

Books, these are the wealth inherited by our ancestors. What's more, those books were all bought by the ancestors of the family with hard work and sweat. The sisters and brothers of the Sang family didn't know how to cherish it at all, so they directly burned it clean......

Zheng Fuzi saw through this matter as a bureau, but he didn't expect that the books burned were not serious books at all, a large part of the new books in them, some of the books that could not be put on the table, and only the outermost four boxes contained the "champion books" that people sought after.

But no matter what, for Zheng Fuzi, the most intolerable thing is that books are burned. And the Sang family's sisters and brothers are very bad, how can this make the old man like it?

Zheng Fuzi was angry, and he was angry in the school, and because of an inexplicable trivial matter, he reprimanded Qing'er for a whole morning.

Everyone is a bright-eyed person, who doesn't know that Sang Xuanyue was angered by Master Zheng? Zheng Fuzi doesn't like him, they don't like him either, won't Qing'er's days in the school be even more sad?

Qing'er finished the matter in a few words, and after finishing speaking, he looked at his sister worriedly and said, "I know that this matter is very important, so when Zheng Fuzi reprimanded me, I didn't dare to reply." "I didn't dare to tell Mr. Zheng the truth, after all, there are many people in the school, maybe after Mr. Zheng knows, the door of the same window will know the next moment, and then the whole city will know, so what is the point of their sisters and brothers spending so much manpower, material and financial resources, setting up such a bureau?

Qing'er said this, and Sang Xuanyue fell silent.

She knew it was an unsolvable game.

If Qing'er tells Master Zheng the truth, there is a risk that the matter will be exposed; But if you don't tell Master Zheng the truth, think about it, when your master is prejudiced against you, can you still stay in this private school?

Sang Xuanyue asked Qing'er: "What do you want to do with this matter?" ”

"What to do?" Qing'er chuckled: "Sister, haven't I already dealt with it." That's it, don't tell anyone, and try to minimize the scope of insiders, this is the best way to protect our brothers and sisters. ”

"Okay, I got it." What Sang Zhuyue said was light and light, but her watery peach blossom eyes couldn't help but swell with water vapor again.

She said, "Qing'er, you're older, you made this decision, I think you know what it means." ”

"I'm not stupid, of course I do." Qing'er said as easily as possible, "Isn't it that you can't continue to stay in Zheng Fuzi's private school, and you have to change to a private school." That's okay, I was tired of my classmates, they ...... Forget it, don't talk about it. ”

People say that the desire is insatiable, if he really showed his classmates the Sang family's collection of books, but so what? After reading this book, they will think that there must be something better in the Sang family. Sang Qingyue designated to keep the best for himself.

They want better, they want to be able to make themselves the champion, they want to make sure that they are the champion, so they will ask Qing'er again and again. And as long as he once does not satisfy their desires. Hope, they will have all kinds of desires and words on his head, so why bother?

Qing'er said: "My classmates, they saved me before. Although we no longer intersected for various reasons, I still gave them a copy of each of the books that I had stored in the yamen. This solves our fate, and as for more, I can't give it. Sister, let's stop here, I will never go to Master Zheng's private school again. ”

Sang Xuanyue choked up and responded: "Okay."

The sister and brother finalized the matter, but there were other things to solve, and the first thing was, "Since you don't go to Master Zheng's private school, do you have other places in your heart that you want to go?" You name it, and after my sister investigates, let's make a decision together. ”

Qing'er wailed, "No, sister, I just jumped out of a fire pit, and I haven't rested for a night, so you're going to force me to jump into another fire pit, sister, sister, you're my own sister." ”

"It is precisely because I am your own sister that I am so worried about your studies. If I'm your stepsister, I don't care if you go to school or sleep at home. ”

Qing'er scratched her head when she heard this, "Then I don't know now, what about the other private schools around here, I have to inquire." Sister, don't force me, let me rest for two days first, and then I'll be busy with this. ”

Sang Xuanyue's heart suddenly disappeared, and she grabbed her brother's ear: "Do you want to rest for two days?" Why don't you say take a two-year break? You don't read a good time, what do you say you want to do? Let's go, you go to your parents' tablet and talk about it, so that your parents also know your ambitions. ”

Qing'er hurriedly begged for mercy.

How can a sister do such a thing? How can you still tell your father and mother about such a thing? Isn't this waiting for his father and mother to fall asleep at night and scold him for being a bloody dog?

Qing'er begged for mercy and begged for mercy, and Sang Xuanyue finally spared him. But my brother's words are also reasonable, Master Zheng's private school has already stepped on the pit, so the next private school should be even more attentive to find it. This will definitely take a lot of time, so let my brother rest at home during this time?

Sang Xuanyue thought of an idea, so she said, "You should study with Ding Juren during this time." ”

"Ding Juren?" Qing'er looked incredulous: "My sister asked me to run to Nancheng?" ”

Ding Juren sat in the Chongwen Zhai Museum.

On the side of the study, there is a shop in front and a courtyard in the back. The yard is not big or small, and it is enough to teach more than ten students. But as soon as the good news of clinker came out, there were 100 students who came to sign up, so there was not enough space. So, I bought the house next door at a high price and opened it up. The place was spacious, and there was no more than one Qing'er, and no less than him.

Sang Xuanyue: "Ding Juren is a lifter, and it is enough to teach you, a child who has never even participated in the children's exam." ”

"But Ding Juren doesn't just teach the children over there to read and practice? I'm almost finished studying the 'Four Books' now, and what I'm learning from them is different, so Ding Juren can't teach on both sides separately, so shouldn't this delay Ding Juren's time and consume his energy? ”

"It's okay, I'll give Ding Juren an extra restraint, I think Ding Juren is willing to earn this silver."

Qing'er looked at her sister speechlessly, how could she do this? The place where they live now is Dongcheng, which is far away from Nancheng, and it takes more than half an hour to make a carriage to get there. So how early does he have to get up every day to catch Ding Juren's first class? Is my sister the devil, how can my sister be so strict with him? She didn't even think about it, he had just experienced so much pain, and he also had psychological trauma, did he also need time to heal?

Qing'er unconsciously said what was in her heart, and when Sang Xuanyue heard it, she was a little ridiculous. "I see you're jumping around, not at all like you've been traumatized. Again, you went to Nancheng, the private school over there was founded by our own family, and the one who didn't have a long eye dared to exclude you? If there is such a person, you will tell your sister when you go back, and your sister will administer justice to you. ”

Sang Twisting Yue has said everything, so what can Qing'er do? No matter how reluctant he was, he was no longer willing to go to school, and finally had to resist his sister's eager gaze, agreed to his sister's arrangement, and prepared to go to Nancheng to borrow from tomorrow.

But will you go tomorrow?

Sang Xuanyue thought about it and said, "It's better the day after tomorrow, tomorrow my sister will accompany you to where Master Zheng is, and go to say goodbye to Master Zheng." ”

Anyway, Master Zheng finally taught his younger brother a game, and he transferred his younger brother without saying a word.

This world pays the most attention to respecting teachers, although Zheng Fuzi did things inappropriately before, and hurt her younger brother a lot, she also complained about it. But the big things have to be done, otherwise it will not be beautiful if it affects the future of the younger brother in the future.

When Qing'er heard this, she didn't have time to be happy, and she became depressed again.

Instead of going to Zheng Fuzi's private school, he might as well go to Nancheng early tomorrow morning. But my sister's words also make sense, Master Zheng taught him that there is no merit and hard work, and he should say goodbye to them and break their fate.

*

The next day, the sister and brother went to Zheng Fuzi's private school early.

Because there will be half an hour of morning reading when you get up early, usually at this time, Zheng Fuzi will personally watch the students read. But if something happens, he can walk away.

If you wait until noon and afternoon, it won't work, Master Zheng is very busy, there are classes all day, even if they pass, Master Zheng may not have time to see them.

After the sister and brother went over, they explained their intentions, and their own assistant teacher hurriedly entered the classroom to find Master Zheng.

Later, Mr. Zheng walked out of the classroom and met his sister and brother in his yard.

Sang Xuanyue didn't say anything in detail, only said that his younger brother was not suitable here, and he was going to transfer him to another place.

Zheng Fuzi's face was dark and inexplicable.

He was silent for a long time, and then took two steps back and bowed to his siblings. It's the kind that has been going on for a long time, very sincerely, and very carefully apologizing.

Sang Xuanyue hurriedly turned sideways, and Qing'er hurriedly helped Master Zheng up, and said repeatedly: "I can't help it." ”

Master Zheng said guiltily: "This is what the old man owes you." ”

Everything is in plain sight.

Zheng Fuzi has realized that what he did to make things difficult for Qing'er in class before, even though he still has a lot of complaints about the practice of burning the sister and brother for refuge, but since they did so, they must have been forced to a dead end, and there is no better solution.

It's just a matter of survival, and in order to survive, it seems understandable that books are abandoned.

Master Zheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just sighed and said, "That's it, the rest of the old men won't say anything." After all, it was the old man who lost you as a student, and you didn't have a good time in this private school, so it's better to go elsewhere. ”

He also said earnestly: "There are many private schools in the capital, most of the old men know each other, if you want to go to which, I can issue a letter of introduction, and you sisters and brothers can also avoid some detours." ”

Both sisters sincerely expressed their gratitude, and then bowed to Master Zheng, and then took the tuition fee from the teaching assistant, and left the private school.

Once they leave this time, they will never come here again.

As the siblings walked out together, they saw a few students looking through the transparent glass windows of the classroom. Their classmates in the neighborhood seemed to know something, and they all leaned on their heads to see the surprise.

Qing'er didn't say anything, her complexion didn't change much, and she walked out with her sister.

But when she was about to walk out of Zheng Fuzi's private school, Qing'er couldn't help but look back at the classroom. When he looked back, his eyes were red, and it was obvious that he had left in such a way, and he was not comfortable parting from these classmates like this.

Sang Xuanyue said: "Life is a journey, you will always meet different people and see different scenery. Now your fate with them is over, but your fate with others is about to begin. The scenery ahead is just right, isn't Qing'er looking forward to it? ”

Qing'er wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "Looking forward to it." ”

Good or bad, happy or painful, that's all for now.

Just like he said to his sister before, these classmates excluded him and made it difficult for him, but he still remembers that when he was pressed to the ground and beaten by Wang Hongyuan and Wang Hongcai, when he resisted helplessly and powerlessly, and his heart was full of fear and fear, it was these classmates who rushed up desperately and fought with Wang Hongyuan and them, and they gave him a chance to breathe.

Now that he has given the reward, they will have both sides of the story.

The sisters and brothers returned to the Sang house, Sang Twisted Yue went to practice calligraphy and meditate, and Qing'er went back to his own yard to clean up his things.

My sister said, seeing that it is summer, there are many heavy rains in summer, and the south city is too far away from the east city. If the weather is the case, he has to settle down in the southern city, then where to rest first.

Anyway, there is a dumb uncle living over there, and there are Ding Juren, they are all reliable people, and she is not worried about them watching him.

Qing'er was packing up the things she was going to bring tomorrow, and she muttered: "I don't believe that without me at home, my sister will not be lonely?" I don't believe that my sister will miss me. ”

While muttering like this, Qing'er suddenly heard two knocks on the door. He said casually, "Who, come in directly." ”

It was Zhuzhi who came in, and Zhuzhi said: "Young Master, Master Hou knows what you experienced in the private school, Master Hou has a good place to go, just ask if you want to go." ”

"A good place to go?" Qing'er first thought of Guozijian, but Guozijian said that he would enter? The students who enrolled there were all relatives of the emperor and famous families, as well as the heirs of courtiers and noble families. In the Wu'an Hou Mansion, the twin sons of the second master Shen Tingyi were studying in Guozijian. But that's reasonable, after all, the Hou Mansion was born, and the Guozijian still entered.

But when he entered the national prison, why should he? Just because he is close to Hou Ye, can he get another look at Hou Ye?

Qing'er laughed at herself and couldn't help laughing. Whether he can get in or not, he won't get in anyway.

Studying at Zheng Fuzi, he can feel class discrimination - don't look at the classmates among them, the elders in the family are not high-ranking officials, but after the confrontation, his classmates are on a high shelf.

Even the heirs of these petty officials' families are so difficult to deal with, and the proud son of heaven in the country's prison, seeing himself as a kid mixed in, isn't it like watching a bedbug?

People are self-aware, and they can't stay in the circle, and they can't force themselves in.

However, Hou Ye has always been measured in his work, and he will not introduce him to Guozijian if he wants to. Where else could that be?

Qing'er became curious, so she asked Zhuzhi, but Zhuzhi didn't know.

I just heard Zhuzhi say, "Master Hou only explained this sentence, and there is no follow-up." However, Master Hou knows that you can leave home tomorrow, so he invites you to get together in the restaurant after school tomorrow. The meeting place Hou Ye said that you are clear, so you don't need your subordinates to tell you again. ”

Qing'er thought while thinking that the Hou Ye arrangement was really thoughtful. Knowing that he would not be able to go out today, he arranged to meet tomorrow. It's a good arrangement. It's just, what kind of meeting place, how would he know?

Qing'er couldn't think of a reason, but suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered that after coming out of Jingzhao Yin Yamen last time, that time he had dinner with Hou Ye, and he said that he and his sister listened to the restaurant in the corner The dishes were not bad. And that road, isn't it on the side of the road from Nancheng back to Dongcheng, there is no doubt where it is.

Qing'er secretly praised that she was really smart.

But after lying on the bed at night, Qing'er didn't know what to think, and sat up from the bed abruptly.

When Zhuye heard the movement, he asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?" But do you want to get up late? ”

"No, I think about things, don't disturb me, go back to your room and rest."

Bamboo leaves responded "good", but did not leave.

He was so grateful, the young master was bullied and exposed, he thought that the girl was going to punish him and Zhuqing, but the young master of clinker pleaded for the two of them, and he just grinded the girl's heart soft, so he spared their lives.

Zhuye and Zhuqing are grateful for this, and they can't wait to give up their lives to repay each other immediately. Therefore, let alone a vigil, they are willing to go to the soup and fire to die for their masters.

It is their blessing to have such a master.

didn't say how about the bamboo leaves, but said that Qing'er was lying on the bed and rolling back and forth, and couldn't help but think and think: Is Hou Ye too good to him? If it weren't for the fact that he was not as good as he was, and the age difference was so many years old, otherwise he would have suspected that Hou Ye was his lost brother!
