Sanqiao used his body to stop Erxi, who was about to make a move, and said to Cai Jin with a serious expression: "I know, you didn't give up because you wanted to enter the academy, you retreated by yourself, you were afraid that you wouldn't be able to brew wine and be laughed at, so you simply burned the recipe and used Qingxi Academy to cover up your weakness." ”

Cai Jin still had a stiff mouth and said: "A gentleman is a gentleman, and he is born immediately." ”

The meaning of this sentence is that people must be pragmatic and fundamental, and only when the foundation is established can morality be generated.

The old man understood that he should concentrate on his reading and writing, so that he could succeed. ”

Cai Jin gave a thumbs up to Steward Zhou.

Steward Zhou closed his eyelids with a sad expression.

"I don't understand what you're saying. Sanqiao said with anger in his tone: "I know that you are evading, if you want to enter the academy, if you want to take the palace examination to become a university scholar, you have to kick and break the stumbling blocks that block the road in a dignified manner, like this, give up halfway, once there is a second, what if you can't even pass the entrance examination of Qingxi Academy?"

"I can't pass the door test?" Cai Jin seemed to have heard a big joke, and said with an exaggerated smile: "Well frogs can't talk about the sea, and summer insects can't talk about ice." ”

Hearing this, Steward Zhou's face changed, and he hesitated: "This is ...... What this means ......"

"Needless to say, I understand. Sanqiao followed Defu to learn to read and write for a period of time, but later because of the hardships of life, he slowly forgot about it. She hadn't read what Cai Jin said, but she was Bingxue smart, and the literal meaning of this sentence was very easy to understand, why couldn't she hear it?

Cai Jinkou regretted it after almost speaking, he knew that he said something that he shouldn't have said, and his words were not only contemptuous of Sanqiao, but also almost insulting.

He refused to apologize for the sake of face, even when he saw Erxi clenching his fists and coming up to hit him, he still held his neck and refused to bow his head.

He hoped that he would be beaten by Erxi so that he could punish him for his unintentional words. It's just that Erxi was stopped by Sanqiao's outstretched arm.

Cai Jin clearly saw the disappointed expression on Sanqiao's face, and then he heard Sanqiao's still crisp and pleasant voice.

"Those who are self-violent must not speak with them, and those who abandon themselves must not be with them. ”

At this point, Sanqiao turned around, firmly grabbed Erxi's wrist, and said, "Let's go." ”

Erxi turned from anger to joy, and he didn't want to beat Cai Jin, he raised his eyebrows proudly at Gu Yuan, and Cai Jin dug his own grave without hindering himself, which is gratifying.

Isn't that gratifying......

Cai Jin looked at Sanqiao's back farther and farther away, he knew that if Sanqiao left this courtyard, then from now on, even if they could see each other again, it would be like a stranger.

"I was wrong. Cai Jin fell to his knees and shouted at Sanqiao's back.

Erxi instinctively turned around, and saw that Cai Jin's expression was still very calm, and scolded: "This kid is so fucking shameless to soak my sister." ”

"What did you say?" Sanqiao only heard Cai Jin's shout, because she couldn't see it, she didn't know that Cai Jin was kneeling down to her.

Erxi said secretly: "No...... It's nothing. ”

Suddenly, he rolled his eyes and said, "That kid is wrong, but he is actually making a fist at us and demonstrating to us." ”

Liu frowned, and Sanqiao said coldly: "Ignore him, let's go." ”

"Master, why did you kneel?!" Steward Zhou was still loyal in the end, he rushed to Cai Jin's side, grabbed Cai Jin's two arms and struggled to pick him up.

Cai Jin was unmoved, and shouted loudly: "Sanqiao, if you don't forgive me today, I will always kneel on the ground." ”

Sanqiao pursed his lips, turned around and said, "Then do you still want to make wine?"

"This ......" Cai Jin hesitated.

"Keep kneeling!"

Sanqiao put aside the next sentence and went out of the yard.

"Sir, get up. Steward Zhou was old and frail, and he couldn't pick Cai Jin up at all, so he knelt in front of Cai Jin and begged bitterly.

"Uncle Zhou, this is my own business, you don't have to worry about me. ”

Steward Zhou said with a crying voice: "How can I ignore you?!"

"Uncle Zhou, it's not that I don't want to make wine, it's that I burned the recipe and can't remember any materials used. ”

"What?!" Steward Zhou was shocked, "Didn't you memorize all the recipes?"

"You don't know who I am?

As soon as I encountered something, my head was empty, and the recipe seemed to have only fifty kinds of materials, but the heat and amount were really numb, and I forgot about it. ”

Steward Zhou said in a trembling voice: "That...... So what to do?"

"Or ...... Are you going to go home and look for it?"

"Can you find it?" Steward Zhou's eyes turned red again.

Looking at the appearance of Steward Zhou, Cai Jin felt sour in his heart for no reason, what kind of prescription did he have at home.

When his father passed on the recipe of lotus brewing to his eldest brother, he wrote it now, memorized the recipe, brewed wine, and the recipe should be burned immediately, and then rewritten when it was passed down, which is the inheritance of lotus brewing.

Fang Zi wrote to him soon after his eldest brother fell ill, and he was afraid that he would suddenly die and die too late to pass it on, that is, Fang Zi only had one copy, and if it was burned, it would be gone.

Although Steward Zhou has served in Cai's family for many years, he doesn't know this rule, Cai Jin gritted his teeth, and had to lie to him in order to let Steward Zhou leave.

"My eldest brother once told me that he had a spare recipe in his house, and you should go back and look for it, and you may be able to find it. ”

"Really?" said Steward Zhou's face with joy.

Cai Jin felt a pain in his throat and said, "It's true, you go back and look for it." ”

......

From noon to evening, Cai Jin always knelt on the ground, and Steward Zhou may have been rummaging through boxes and cabinets at home, and did not return to Sun's house.

Sanqiao seemed to know that Cai Jin was in the yard, after such a long time, most of her anger disappeared, and she learned from Defu's mouth that Cai Jin had been kneeling for a day, she was somehow restless, and broke several bowls when she was eating and washing dishes.

Finally, she couldn't help but steal it and take a look, carrying a food box with food inside.

Cai Jin's eyes were sharp, and as soon as Sanqiao entered the hospital, he found out and said with great joy: "Sanqiao, you are finally willing to come to see me." ”

It's okay not to listen to Cai Jin's voice, but when I heard Sanqiao's anger, I turned around and was about to be discharged.

Cai Jin begged bitterly, "Sanqiao, don't go, don't go." ”

"Alas. Sanqiao's heart suddenly softened, and he came to Cai Jin's side, put down the food box, and asked, "Do you really know it's wrong?"

"Got it, got it. ”

"And what do you want to do?"

Cai Jin sighed bitterly: "The difficulty of ambition is not in winning others, but in self-victory." ”

"Do you do it or not?"

"To do, of course, is to be done. Cai Jin's face was bitter again, and he said, "But I have forgotten the recipe." ”

Sanqiao covered his mouth and smiled: "I remember." ”

Cai Jin exclaimed: "Do you remember?!"

"You've memorized it in front of me for so long, it's hard for me to remember. ”

"Great!" Cai Jin grabbed Sanqiao's hand in a daze.

Sanqiao's face flushed, and he gently pumped outward, but was grabbed tighter by Cai Jin.

"Oops. Sanqiao's face was red, "Why are you ......?"

"Ahh Cai Jin reacted at this time and hurriedly let go, "It's because I'm too emotional and a little forgetful, so it's ......."

"Aren't you going to get up to eat?" Sanqiao didn't blame Cai Jin, lowered his head and said, "Do you want me to help you up?"

"It's not that I don't want to. Cai Jin said shyly: "It's me who has been kneeling for too long, and my legs are numb." ”

Sanqiao smiled and hugged Cai Jin.

"Wow. Cai Jin was surprised and said, "You have so much strength." ”

"Begging for a beating!"

"It's over, it's over. Erxi, who was lying on the wall, looked at the men and women laughing and playing in the courtyard, and bowed his head to Gu Yuan, who was standing against the wall: "My sister seems to like this kid!"
