Dressed As the Deadly Opponent of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination
Chapter 45: Round the furnace
"I..." Zhong Jian covered his cheek with his hands, his expression in pain.
Zheng Boyan ignored Pei Yunxiao's presence, so he could not help holding her close to his shoulder and leaning on him, persuading her in a low voice.
Finally, Zhong Min raised his head again, tears streaming down his face: "I'm not reconciled! I don't want to! I want to watch him die! Watching him fall into eighteen levels of hell, he will never turn back!"
"Mister is really clear and clear, and the students admire it." Pei Yunxiao stood up with a bamboo stick: "Don't worry, Mr. I will take care of this. You can do it well."
Zheng Boyan helped Pei Yunxiao and sent her back to her residence.
"Yi Fei, you still have a delicate mind, and just a few words persuaded her." Zheng Boyan sighed, "No wonder Brother Chengyu always said that you are the most intimate disciple he has ever received. No one can compare to the boys."
"Uh... Dean, the student is also a kid." Pei Yun corrected it with a guilty conscience.
"I didn't mean that." Zheng Boyan laughed at himself when he said something wrong: "You are still young, and you can see the difference in temperament of different people when you see more."
"When I first met Zhong Min, I thought she was a man, and I appreciated her knowledge and temperament. After getting along for a long time, I can see that her behavior and temperament are all characteristics of a woman. This habit cannot be changed. "
Pei Yunxiao felt silly in her heart.
Although she was a young girl disguised as a man, Lu Ti had been out of her sheath for a few years. But she had been a girl for more years before crossing, and some habits had been carved into her bones, and they really couldn't be changed.
But her luck is that she has been considered a boy since she was born, so people around her can easily accept the existence of a man who is so mischievous, after all, there are many such people.
But... Pei Yunxiao thought to herself that she would have to stay away from the Zheng Academy in the future. Wan KeU would apologize for the women who pretended to be men. If he sees any flaws, it will be over!
"Did the head of the hospital to Mr. Zhong..." Pei Yunxiao turned off the topic, went gossip, and watched Zheng Boyan's ears turn red slightly.
The man of the age of flounder, who is not confused, is like a teenage boy at the moment, embarrassed and shy because of being told about the central issue.
"My wife died ten years ago because of a dystocia. I thought I would never marry again for this life, but I didn't expect to meet her."
Xu is that Pei Yunxiao just learned his biggest secret and solved his biggest worry for him. Zheng Boyan no longer regarded her as a student, but as a little friend, and talked to her more.
"It's just that her heart is already haggard, and I don't have to ask for anything, just see her safe and smooth." Zheng Boyan looked sad.
Pei Yunxiao sighed. After Zhong Min had experienced such a change, it was natural that he could not easily accept another relationship. It seemed that the path of Zheng Yuan's relationship was going to be more bumpy.
The two smashed the bulls and returned to the yard where Pei Yunxiao lived.
Zheng Boyan asked her to take care of her injuries, and then left.
According to the agreement of the three, Pei Yunxiao quickly found Jinnian and asked them to check Jiang Yiqian thoroughly no matter what means they used!
The winter in Jiangdong is getting deeper and deeper, and the weather is getting colder and colder.
Pei Yunxiao's legs were completely healed during the first winter snowfall in Wuzhou City. But the snow in Wuzhou showed no sign of stopping, instead, it was endlessly rolling.
There is thick snow everywhere in the city, and people are constantly cleaning the snow on the road so as not to affect travel. But the snow flakes of goose feathers still fell involuntarily.
"Last winter, the arrogance of arranging this year is like a crazy lun." Xie Ying stood under the corridor and looked at the white ash in the courtyard, worried.
"It is said that Ruixue is a good year, but if this continues, I am afraid that there will be a snow disaster."
Shen Siqi's expression is also extremely solemn: "A few days ago, six counties in Wuzhou have reported freezing deaths, with hundreds of people. In addition, there are many starving people. Wuzhou, the most prosperous in the world, is still so. I dare not imagine other places."
"By the way, how about Yifei and Rong Qing, why didn't Lutian see them?" Qin Dongxiang looked at Diaoyuan's book and said that she was ashamed.
Tang Heng said: "Brother Xiao, Brother Rong Qing, and Brother Zhao Xue, three people, went to the head of the Zheng Academy to make a plea to donate clothes and porridge to the people under the jurisdiction of Wuzhou."
"Yifei really is a person who has benevolence and worry about the country and the people!" Qin Dongxiang couldn't help but praise.
As they were talking, a few people saw three figures in thick cloaks coming in at the courtyard gate, with snowflakes falling on their shoulders.
"Why don't the brothers enter the house? It's weirdly cold outside." Pei Yunxiao stood on the corridor, took off his cloak and shook, then stomped off the snow flakes on his body and asked.
"Waiting for you." Tang Hang opened the door of the house, and there was a warm charcoal fire inside, "Come in."
Pei Yunxiao was freezing badly, and when he noticed the warmth, he walked into the house quickly. The wind blows down the huge snowflakes and falls on her back shoulders, and Wanhong strips her clothes in a daze.
Tang Heng raised his hand naturally, and was about to take the snow flakes off her body.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xizhe, who was two steps behind Pei Yunxiao, was faster, and raised his hand to caress behind Pei Yunxiao's back and brushed away the snow flakes.
Tang Hangting stopped in midair with his hands clanking.
Han Shaozhen raised his brows as he saw Tang Hang's reaction subconsciously. Seeing that his face was as usual, he couldn't see the trace at all, and he couldn't help but mutter.
Pei Yunxiao, who was walking in the front, felt someone touched, and subconsciously thought it was Tang Heng, but when he looked back, he saw Zhao Xizhe looking at him with a smile on his face.
As soon as she stayed, she reacted immediately: "Thank you, Brother Yongnian."
Since Han Shaozhen was beaten, everyone's views on Zhao Xizhe have changed a lot, and Zhao Xizhe quickly joined their small group.
Xie Ying and the others didn't pay attention to the movement on their side at all. Instead, they entered the house early and sat around the charcoal stove to keep warm.
The house is where Pei Yunxiao, Tang Hang and Han Shaozhen live, so the three of them are naturally the host.
After everyone sat down, Tang Hang naturally poured the warm wine on the stove for several people. Ming Ming Tang Hang is one year younger than Han Shaozhen, but his temperament is more stable, his mind is mature, and everyone is willing to listen to him on weekdays.
They were all young scholars who liked to talk about current affairs when sitting together. A few people chatted, and they quickly talked about the current situation in Wuzhou.
"Although the head of the hospital Zheng agreed to our proposal, in fact, what we can do is nothing but a drop in the bucket. It's just a matter of urgency." Pei Yunxiao said.
"I wrote to the capital a few days ago, begging my grandfather to write to your majesty to allocate food for Wuzhou, but the situation in the DPRK is also not very good. Especially at the northern border, the snow disaster and famine are more serious. Stabilize the border situation. In this way, Wuzhou will have to be forgiven!
Xie Ying was filled with indignation: "In fact, the matter in Wuzhou is not that serious, but several large grain merchants in the city are hoarding strangely, and..."
"Chu Fang? What else? Why didn't you say it?" Qin Dongxiang looked over in confusion.
"I..." Xie Ying stopped talking.
On the contrary, he was contemplative and sighed: "Let's do it. Chu Fang means that the reason why there are so many people in Wuzhou's counties who are freezing and starving has nothing to do with natural disasters, it is simply a man-made disaster."
Pei Yun Xiaodi Lulu expressed what he meant by both of them: "The two brothers don’t need to shy away, but there is nothing difficult to explain. The malicious increase in the price of the grain merchants in the city is one aspect, but the main reason is that the Wuzhou gentry is right. The exploitation of the people."
The central government banned the excessive merger of land, but the wealthy family had a way.
During farming, the gentry manor is restricted from water sources, the farmland is not allowed to be irrigated, and there is no harvest of grains. Farmers cannot survive, either sell themselves to seek the blessing of tycoons, lose their freedom, or borrow usury to save their lives.
In the severe winter, when the people are undressed and can't eat enough, the gentry will take the opportunity to repay the loan shark. If they can't afford it, they will sell their sons and daughters and mortgage the farmland. In the end, the farmland will still fall into the hands of the gentry. He also became a slave to the gentry.
In the final analysis, today's Sugi School is driven by interests. But Pei Yunxiao can't change it, she can't go against the law of development, let alone go against the tide.
All she can do is to do her best.
"The head of the academy has agreed to Xiaoqi to build a porridge shed in the name of the academy, and to raise funds to buy cotton clothes." Han Shaozhen continued: "The head of the academy also promised to invite wealthy families in the city to come to watch and raise funds on the spot. ."
"Really?" Xie Ying was happy.
"The only thing we can do is this. Maybe it's useful, maybe it's useless, but I don't want to be ashamed." Pei Yunxiao's sorrow and pride are entangled in each other's heart.
For so many years, she was influenced by Huang Han and Liu Fou, and was deeply infected by the sincerity and loneliness in the hearts of aspiring scholars of this era.
Knowing what you can't do!
Small talks and speeches may not change much, but she is still willing to do so, even if there is a wave of waves in the hearts of those who are profiteering, it is enough!
"I was thinking, on the day of the lecture, if we want to raise funds, we naturally need our college to take the lead. However, there are many brothers who are not very optimistic about the situation in their own homes. Public donations may be embarrassing. So I and the head of the college Discuss, we will raise donations privately, and donate in the name of the academy that day, so that we can have the best of both worlds." Pei Yunxiao continued.
"Yifei always thinks so well." Xie Ying was happier, holding up the wine cup in front of him and said: "Come on, for this important event of us, for the people of Wuzhou, make a toast!"
"Wait, wait until I'm done drinking." Han Shaozhen took the cup and handed it to Tang Hang: "Zikuan stay close, help me pour it again."
"I'm finished drinking Yuanyuansang too." Pei Yunxiao found that the bottom of his cup was also empty: "Brother also helped me down."
Tang Hang picked up the wine jug on the stove, filled it with Han Shaozhen, and reached out to pick up Pei Yunxiao's wine glass. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a hand in the oblique stab.
Tang Hang looked along that hand, it was Zhao Xizhe.
"Just give it to me, I'll give Yifei down." Zhao Xizhe was very natural to pick up the hip flask in Tang Heng's hand, and the action was logical, as if he had done many times.
Everyone was stunned, their gazes swam back and forth in front of the three.
Pei Yunxiao is the youngest among them, and yet he has a very good idea. Therefore, it is natural for everyone to regard her as the center of gravity, as well as the younger brothers who are obsessed with taking care of them. It is common for them to care about each other and get close to each other.
Although everyone's friendship is the same, everyone agrees that Pei Yunxiao and Tang Heng have been righteous, and the brotherhood of suffering is closer. What does Zhao Xizhe mean?
Although Pei Yunxiao also felt surprised, he did not take it seriously.
Maybe Zhao Xizhe is just immature, still a child with a disposition, sometimes not doing things properly, but sincerely interacting with himself.
But... where does this inexplicable sense of Shura Field come from?
