8 Chapter VIII
The blood covered Xin Jinian's face, which looked very terrifying, and the playful classmates exclaimed, for fear of getting into trouble, and the hula scattered.
Xin's strength was great, and Xin Jinian was not easy to get along with, so no one went to check his injuries and pulled him up.
Mr. Zhou happened to be on the verandah, and when he heard the cry, he was shocked, and hurriedly rushed over and pulled Xin Jinian up from the ground.
"What's going on?" Mr. Zhou was also frightened by Xin's tragic situation, and he asked as he looked around.
Xin Jinian cried and shouted: "Someone hurt me, someone messed with me, I want to go back and tell Daddy, let Daddy beat him to death!" ”
The students of Mengtong's class stood together in twos and threes, standing far away to watch the excitement. Closer, only Fang Yin and Cheng Zi'an, who had just come out of the classroom.
Fang Yin looked inexplicable, while Cheng Zi'an sat in the corridor out of the classroom with one foot and shoes in his hand, opening his mouth slightly, dumbfounded.
Mr. Zhou frowned and asked, "Cheng Zi'an, have you seen what's going on?" ”
When Xin Jinian heard this, he immediately shouted: "Sir, it's Cheng Zi'an!" It was Cheng Zi'an who harmed me! ”
Mr. Zhou said angrily: "How can Cheng Zi'an hurt you, he is still far away from you!" ”
Xin Jinian snorted and continued to identify: "That's Fang Yin!" ”
Mr. Zhou was even more speechless and said, "Fang Yin was in the classroom just now. ”
Xin Jinian couldn't find someone to rely on, he was in pain and aggrieved, and he raised his head and cried louder.
Cheng Zi'an raised the shoes in his hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, there are stones in my shoes and I am cleaning them, but I don't see what's going on." When you usually jump on the steps, you often accidentally fall! ”
The steps are not high, flat, and there are also people who accidentally fall. The classmates who were originally crowded with Xin Jinian were afraid that they would be dragged by him, and they all echoed Cheng Zi'an.
"Yes, it's dangerous to jump on the steps, and if you're not careful, you'll fall."
"He fell on his own, and no one was in his way."
Mr. Zhou wanted to speak again and again, and his mood was very complicated.
Xin Jinian is unpopular, at this time, everyone is afraid of getting involved with him, and no one cares about his injury.
Fortunately, Xin Jinian looked miserable, that is, his lips were broken and bleeding, and the front tooth that was crumbling and crumbling later than ordinary people fell out. There were some bruises on the knees and elbows, but they didn't hurt the muscles and bones, and they were basically fine.
Mr. Zhou thought of Xin Da's words before, Xin Zhong and his wife's love for him, and it was a big deal for him to break his skin.
"Don't jump the steps again in the future, if I know, I will definitely punish you!" Mr. Zhou was extremely angry, glanced at the students, and ordered with great majesty.
Everyone didn't dare to argue, and shrunk their necks.
Mr. Zhou said: "Don't hurry home yet, don't be naughty!" ”
"Yes!" This time, the students answered crisply and forcefully, and left happily with their bookcases on their backs.
Cheng Zi'an saw that Mr. Zhou had determined the matter, and Xin Jinian fell by himself, and it had nothing to do with everyone. He bowed his head and put on his shoes, and walked out of the Mengtong Courtyard around the verandah.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard and looked back, Mr. Zhou persuaded Xin Jinian, who was still crying and mourning, and his head was full of bad luck.
Outside the gate of the school, there were many waiting servants. Qingchuan had already arrived, and he stepped forward to pick up Cheng Zi'an's bookcase and carried it on his back, and said with a smile: "Young master, go home quickly, the master ordered, saying that you are not allowed to play on the road." ”
Xin's luxurious and spacious carriage stopped at the gate, and the two small servants and a coachman kept sticking out their heads to look inside the door. Cheng Zi'an's eyes swept over lightly, and he responded lazily, "Qingchuan, what do you eat at night?" ”
Qingchuan smiled and said, "The eldest uncle and the second uncle heard that the young master likes to eat eels, so they sent someone to send a large basket of eels, saying that it was a holiday, and let the young master go back to his uncle's house to play for a few days." ”
Cui Suniang has four brothers and sisters, two brothers and a younger sister. The eldest Cui Wen is a money and grain official in the Yamen, and the second Cui Wu is the head catcher of the Yamen. Sister Cui Meiniang married into the neighboring Qingzhou Mansion, and her husband Sun Shiming is also a person, and like Cheng Zhen, she will enter Beijing next year to take the Spring Examination.
The other children of the Cui clan are also mostly scribes. The Cui family seems to be inconspicuous, but it should not be underestimated. When the officials first arrived in a place, they did not dare to say that they had to rely on the local officials, but they did not dare to offend easily.
Cheng Zi'an hadn't entered the city to play yet, and when he heard the words, he immediately became happy, and planned to take a good look everywhere during this vacation.
At this moment, footsteps sounded behind him. Cheng Zi'an looked back and saw that it was Fang Yin and Fang Daniu father and son.
Fang Da Niu was wearing a ninety percent new long shirt, with clear folds on his shirt, and at first glance, he turned out of the cage and wore it on his body.
Usually wear short fights for farming, Fang Da Niu's long shirt is estimated to be worn during the New Year, the fabric is thick, fine beads of sweat appear on the dark and rough forehead, and between the gestures, it is restrained and stiff.
Fang Yin couldn't check and hid behind Fang Da Niu, Cheng Zi'an saw this, smiled at Fang Da Niu, who bowed and nodded in greeting, and then pulled Qing Chuan, who was looking back, and walked forward, "Qing Chuan, let's go faster, don't let Daddy wait." ”
Qingchuan sighed, quickened his pace, and said, "Young master, the master went to Fucheng, and he will come back later, and when I finish sending the young master home, I will go to Fucheng to pick up the master." ”
Cheng Zi'an smiled: "Yes, Daddy is not at home, it's a pity." ”
Qingchuan glanced at Cheng Zi'an and said slowly: "Seeing the young master like this, it is by no means a pity. ”
Cheng Zi'an said: "Qingchuan, don't care about these details. ”
Qingchuan was amused and couldn't stop laughing, and the two talked and laughed and went home.
Cheng Zhen was not there, Cheng Zi'an was comfortable and comfortable, and he ate with a round belly. After eating, he rested under the eaves of the porch, and nibbled on a large number of seasonal fresh peaches and loquats.
Cui Suniang was afraid that he would accumulate food, so she kept persuading: "Ouch, you eat less, you eat too many peaches and panic, loquat is cold, and it hurts your stomach if you eat carefully." What about the homework assigned by the gentleman? Take it out and eat while you do your homework. ”
Cheng Zi'an was a little dumbfounded, the joy of the holiday was too strong, and when Mr. assigned his homework, he put half an ear.
Unimportant things, Cheng Zi'an has never taken them to heart.
How can he remember it now!
However, Cheng Zi'an didn't panic at all, and lied without changing his face: "Auntie, Mr. didn't assign homework." ”
Cui Suniang refused to believe anything, looked him up and down, and said, "Really? When your daddy comes back, I'll ask him. ”
Cheng Zi'an coughed and changed his words: "Just a few big words, endorsement." Auntie, this little thing, don't bother Daddy. Daddy is the one who wants to be admitted to the Jinshi. ”
Cui Suniang raised her hand to pat him, and the orange and yellow nails on her slender fingers looked especially beautiful in the light.
Cheng Zi thought with peace of mind, I don't know if it is the beautiful nails dyed by impatiens, or the good craftsmanship of Cheng Zhen's nail dyeing.
Cui Suniang said angrily: "You don't make trouble, you don't do your homework, your father knows about it, and he will beat you." ”
The cool breeze blows at night, the insects chirp, and the frogs follow to make fun and croak.
The wormwood in the pot repellent mosquitoes, the smoke is coming out, and the smell of wormwood fills the yard. The fan in Cui Suniang's hand fanned Cheng Zi'an from time to time, for fear that mosquitoes that were not afraid of the smell of wormwood would bite him.
Cheng Zi'an ate and drank to his heart's content, and began to yawn. At this time, Cheng Zhen came back, Cui Suniang got up to meet her, Cheng Zi'an saw this, and quietly got up and slipped into the house.
Cheng Zhen glared at Cheng Zi'an, it was not early, so he didn't bother with him, and said to Cui Suniang: "Leave me alone, you just rest." ”
After Cheng Zi'an entered the house, maybe it was because of the holiday, he stroked his round belly, but he couldn't sleep.
The night was quiet, and the voices of Cheng Zhen and Cui Suniang under the corridor intermittently reached the house.
"The examiner has not yet been decided, everyone is passing it on, it may be Wenxiang. However, rumors have always been unreliable, and it doesn't matter who is the chief examiner. ”
"I met Mr. Zhou, and I heard him say that Xin Jinian had fallen and injured himself, and he personally sent him home. Mr. Zhou was very annoyed, he didn't mention it much, and said that Xin Zhong insisted that someone had harmed him, and he had to let him investigate it, otherwise he would report to the official. ”
Hey?
Cheng Zi'an stretched his ears and settled there.
