Chapter 35 A-character scroll, bah, a disciple

This girl was fine before, but Ruixiang was a little worried that she was the daughter of Lin Gong, the salt patrol censor, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he spoke cautiously.

I never thought that this girl would have a sharp tongue and a ruthless attitude towards others. She would always sneer and frown, making people angry, so she wanted to show off her master and suppress the other person. .

I never expected that this girl would be so sarcastic. Although I couldn't understand the meaning of the other person's words, I could tell by observing their words that they were definitely not good words. What was even more depressing was that I didn't understand the meaning of it at all.

“Hey, little girl, you have a tough mouth, so why are you huddled here and asking my uncle to risk his life to seek help for you? Why don’t you go?”

 unable to hold back after being choked by this little girl, Ruixiang finally broke out and activated his poisonous tongue function.

"She is the daughter of the censor who patrols salt. She is an official after all. Why is she so ignorant? Although I have never read a book, I also know that if you receive a drop of kindness from someone, you should repay it with a spring. Could it be that you should repay kindness with hatred? Is this the ancestral motto of the Lin family?"

Ruixiang followed Feng Ziying from Datong to the capital at the age of six. Not only were they as close as brothers, but they were basically inseparable. Feng Ziying studied at home, and he also followed her. Over the years, they got to know each other a lot. Character.

He often followed Feng Ziying and a group of Wu Xun's disciples around when he was still in Datong, and even more so after arriving in the capital. His mouth has long been trained to have iron teeth.

  Previously, it was because the little girl was too young and was the legitimate daughter of the Salt Patrol Censor that she didn't dare to act arrogantly. But now she was so angry that she didn't care much anymore.

Lin Daiyu did not expect that a young boy from the Feng family would dare to be so presumptuous, and he was not weak at all in his articulation, and he would not be merciful in robbing others.

Thinking about the fact that the Feng family brother went out to ask for help earlier, it was really touching. She was also a little touched before. Even Master Jia kept calling him a tiger father and a dog son, and he was indeed very courageous.

 “Hmph, it’s just Feng He, a violent tiger, just showing off his bravery...”

Having said that, the little girl also knew that what she said was unreasonable, and it was not the behavior of a gentleman to criticize someone behind her back when receiving favors, so she lowered her voice.

What's more, she heard clearly the previous conversation between Feng Ziying and several people. Although she didn't understand it very well, she also knew that even Jia Fuzi and Uncle Xue's family were full of admiration. It was definitely not the "violent tiger Feng He was showing off his bravery" as she said.

Seeing that the other party's momentum had dropped, Ruixiang didn't do anything wrong for himself.

Of course, the main reason was that he had previously discovered that his master was peeping at this little girl from time to time, with a very strange expression on his face. This girl was the daughter of Lin Gong, the salt patrol censor, and Lin Gong and the Jia family were related by marriage. The Feng family and the Jia family were family friends, so he had to be more careful.

Before coming to the Qing Dynasty, the master and his wife were already discussing the master's marriage. If the master really fell in love with this girl, even though she was still young, he could come to discuss the marriage first.

Although the marriage is decided by the master and his wife, this is the only son of the three families of the Feng family in the capital. He regards him as a treasure, especially the wife who obeys her master. If she really wants to become a family with this little girl in the future, then He was miserable. Thinking of this, Ruixiang felt a little weak.

 Seeing that the boy who was originally full of energy suddenly became timid again, the little girl was a little strange. She glanced at the other party and felt that her previous words did not seem to have much offensive power. Why did the other party become weak instead?

Seeing that the other party suddenly became silent, the little girl pursed her lips and thought for a long time before she asked again: "How long has your uncle Keng been in prison in the Imperial College?"

"It's been half a year." The more Ruixiang thought about this possibility, the more cautious he became. Although he was young, he was specially selected by Feng Tang to take care of Feng Ziying's daily life. The Feng family also specially trained him. , so it is also particularly sophisticated in these aspects.

"Then your uncle Keng is going to take the provincial examination, or will he be awarded an official position directly after graduation?" The little girl saw that the other party was actually much weaker, so she stopped being aggressive and just wanted to ask more about the other party's situation.

"But I didn't know that my uncle has only been there for half a year, and it has been quite hard to study during these six months. It turns out that there is also a private school in Datong with special professors. He said that my uncle is diligent in studying and has nothing to lose..." Ruixiang was a little embarrassed as he couldn't think of the words. He scratched his head.

The little girl was also stunned for a moment, but then she laughed and said, "Is it Nao Ying Ying Xue?"

 “Yes, yes, that’s it,...” Ruixiang chuckled.

"Nangying Yingxue describes the hard work of poor people in studying. Why did the Feng family get to this point? I don't know what scholar is wrong. I don't know which scholar would be so flattering to that member of your family?" The little girl shrugged her nose, " It’s not like that the private school teacher wants to please General Shenwu. Does he want General Shenwu to give him more training?”

Ruixiang was anxious, "How is that possible? My uncle is known as a good scholar in Datong Mansion. Even the teachers in the academy are full of praise for my uncle. My uncle will definitely take part in the examination."

"Oh? Can you try? Is your uncle Keng so confident?" Lin Daiyu obviously didn't believe it.

Nearly all the supervisors who came out of the Imperial College came here to study and be promoted to officials, or to donate to have a good reputation.

She had heard from her father that the Imperial College was getting worse every year now. Twenty or thirty years ago, there would have been a few people who could pass the Shuntian Prefecture Provincial Examination, but now I am afraid that not even one person would be able to pass the examination. , if you really want to take part in the provincial examination, you must either go to a government school or hire a private school teacher yourself.

"My uncle was still saying yesterday that he has a deep chest of literary ink and a belly full of poetry and calligraphy, so he has to ignore what is going on outside the window and only read the books of sages." Ruixiang held his head high and was quite proud. He thought that this The two poems were written by my son, but I don't know their origin.

Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up. She naturally knew the origin of the half of the sentence "There is poetry and calligraphy in the belly", but she didn't know who wrote the other half of the sentence "The ink in the chest is like a valley". It seemed to be deliberately related to Su Dongpo's sentence is relative, but the following sentence is a bit vulgar. Although it makes sense, it has no charm.

"Is this done by your uncle Keng?" Lin Daiyu asked with a smile.

"That's natural." Ruixiang shook his head, with a proud face, "My uncle has been studying for six years, and the teachers he hired for him are all well-educated people. There is also a failed official among them. How can he be compared to ordinary people?"

Lin Daiyu burst out laughing, this Feng Ziying's boy was quite interesting.

She had always been precocious and studied at home. Jia Yucun was also surprised by her intelligence. In addition, Lin Ruhai cherished her too much. Apart from the rules of the boudoir, she seemed to be a bit free-spirited in other aspects.

This girl also likes to read miscellaneous books and has a lot of questions. Jia Yucun does not regard her as an idle little girl and often mentions other chores to her, which is why she is so bold and astute.

“Hey, I can’t tell that the uncle in your family is really studious.” Lin Daiyu pursed her lips, “I started reading at the age of four or five. Could it be that I became a nerd after studying?”

"Humph, Miss Lin, you are wrong. You should have seen my uncle discussing with your wife and Mr. Xue earlier. Do nerds have such ability?" Ruixiang snorted softly, intent on maintaining the image of his master. .

To be honest, Brother Keng seems to have changed a lot after he fell ill these past few days. Not only has his temper become much calmer, but he also talks less. But every word he says seems to make sense. Even Feng You has to think about it. Yeah, this didn't exist before.

Although Feng You has taken good care of Brother Keng over the years, he will never let Brother Keng do anything wrong in big matters. This time he let Brother Keng go out alone, and Brother Keng actually convinced Feng You. This is so incredible to Ruixiang.

 He ​​originally wanted to stop him, but he was glared at by Brother Keng, who felt like he was facing a master, leaving him speechless for a moment.

"When an ordinary person encounters something like this, they would be frightened, trembling, and at a loss, right? I think even your Master Jia's face turned pale and he couldn't speak clearly. Mr. Xue also said that he had seen him all over the country. The world is different and there is no one to catch? But look at my uncle, are you afraid? Then what words should be used to describe it, strategizing, and winning from thousands of miles away? "

 Ruixiang looked proud of himself, which made Lin Daiyu very disdainful.

However, Lin Daiyu also had to admit that she was scared to death before, too? My mother-in-law was crying and wiping away tears. Master Jia and Mr. Xue didn't know what to do at all. Feng Ziying, on the other hand, looked calm and unfazed. I don't know if it was because she was born dull or because she was really stupid. General style?

 Bah, how is that possible? ! He was only three or four years older than me, but he looked like an old-fashioned young adult. Especially after Jia Fuzi introduced his identity, he stared at me with a sly look, which was annoying. I really wanted to look at him like that. The burning thief's eyes were gouged out.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu only felt her pretty face getting hot. Bah, what a scumbag!

It’s thirty years old, and there’s nothing else to do while lying in bed reading, so just write a review of the book, give it a like, and vote, ^_^. I wish brothers all the best and all your wishes come true!
