"He had such a good opportunity to study, but he …"
Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but think of his childhood. His father, who was a prison guard, often brought him to the prison. His family couldn't afford to hire a teacher, so he used the opportunity of running errands for the criminal officials to teach him some words from time to time. Now this clown had such a good opportunity, but he tried his best to play truant.
"Poor parents …"
Ye Xiaotian sighed in his heart and asked, "Oh yes, Tycoon, why did your classmates fight?"
Tycoon said, "Speaking of this, it's Director Gu's fault."
Ye Xiaotian asked curiously, "What did Director Gu do?"
Tycoon said, "Today Director Gu was talking about 'etiquette'. Speaking of etiquette, the most basic etiquette is ethics. There were dozens of large and small tribes in the area, and different tribes had different customs and habits. Some tribes have strange marriage customs. For example, a daughter will marry an uncle, a granddaughter will become a daughter-in-law, an aunt and nephew will get married, a daughter will marry her brother-in-law, and two sisters will marry into the same family but become aunt and nephew. Aiya, it's very messy, and I can't explain it in a short time. "
Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly, "I've already explained it very clearly."
Tycoon spread out his hands and said, "So some of the tribes that don't have this kind of marriage customs laughed at the tribes that have this kind of marriage customs for not knowing etiquette and doing things that are impolite. Those who were laughed at wouldn't let it go, so they started to fight. "
Ye Xiaotian scratched his head and thought carefully. If he really had to solve this matter, he really didn't know how to do it. If laughing at others like this was a taboo, then this matter wouldn't be easy to resolve.
Tycoon looked up and suddenly said happily, "Ah! Tao Si Niang is here! "
Ye Xiaotian looked up and saw a woman in her thirties. She was wearing a light green dress and a lotus colored narrow-sleeved bikini. The lace at the collar of the bikini was already worn out, and the dress had also lost some of its color. Although her clothes were a little shabby, this woman was quite good-looking. She was also dressed very appropriately, plain and elegant.
Seeing Luo Daheng from afar, the young woman who was carrying a lunchbox quickly came forward and bowed to Luo Daheng, "Young Master Daheng, why did you leave the county school? If Master sees you, he will scold you again."
Tycoon waved his hand proudly, "It's fine, it's fine. I specially brought this official … You are the Warden, right? Bring this Ai Dianshi to see my father. We have something to discuss. How can father scold me? As a father, he should be reasonable. "
Tao Si Niang said awkwardly, "But … I have already brought food for Young Master."
Tycoon said, "It doesn't matter. Give it to your man. Oh, you brought food for him anyway. I'm afraid he won't be able to finish it alone. Come on, eat with him. Don't be in a hurry to come back. Anyway, there's nothing urgent in the mansion. "
Tao Siniang said, "Yes, then this servant will take her leave."
Ye Xiaotian looked at the woman's back and said to Law Tycoon, "From what you said, this woman's husband is working in the county school? Ye Xiaotian glanced at the woman's back as she walked away gracefully. He said to Luo Daheng, "From what you said just now, this little woman's husband is working in the county school? Tycoon laughed, "No, no.
Tycoon laughed, "That's not true, that's not true. Her husband was also a student in the county school, and he was the only student in the county school who enjoyed the benefits of a grain allowance. He was highly regarded by the teachers and instructors. They said that if there was a High Scholar in Hulu County, it would definitely be him.
His family's financial situation is poor and the school's grain allowance is often delayed. He is the only one who enjoys the rice allowance and is highly regarded by the teachers. Her husband is called Xu Boyi. He is a study addict and is not good at running a household. His family is very poor. She is good at making osmanthus cakes and it is better for her to work as a kitchen maid than to show her face on the streets.
Ai! I really don't know what's so good about studying. I feel like I'm chewing wax while he is enjoying it. If I loved to study as much as him, my father would be so happy, and he wouldn't be so picky with me all day long. "
Ye Xiaotian laughed, "Actually you love to study and are even more of a study addict than Xu Boyi. Even when there is a war going on in the study hall, you are still reading at the side. "
Law Tycoon laughed and so did Ye Xiaotian. Just as a smile appeared on his face, he suddenly thought of something, "Tao Si Niang is Xu Boyi's wife? That little demoness is completely infatuated with this Xu Boyi. Look at her entourage, her background isn't small, but she's actually a married man. It's really unexpected. "
Ye Xiaotian did not know that Zhan Ning 'er fell in love with Xu Boyi at first sight and did not know much about him. He thought that she knew Xu Boyi's family like the back of her hand. There are too many strange customs here and cannot be guessed with common sense so he did not think too much about it.
Law Tycoon suddenly pointed to the front and said cheerfully, "We have reached my house. Ha, my father is seeing the guest off."
Ye Xiaotian was stunned. He wanted to go to the Shi residence first but was confused by this clown's strange behavior. He actually went to Minister Hong's house first. So be it. I will have to ask him about it. Visiting Minister Hong first is the same.
Ye Xiaotian took a closer look and saw a green brick floor, white walls and black tiles. It is an imposing gate. One look and you can tell that this is a wealthy family. In front of the door, there were a few servants standing to the left and right. A middle-aged man wearing a copper coin embroidered outer robe was cupping his hands in farewell to someone.
That person boarded a carriage and bowed to Minister Hong. The coachman drove the carriage away. Minister Hong turned around and counted his rosary beads. When he saw Law Tycoon, the smile on his face disappeared and his eyes widened. Law Tycoon is probably often reprimanded by his father. Although he has a good reason today, he is still nervous after being stared at by his father.
Tycoon shrunk his neck and slowed down his steps, letting Ye Xiaotian walk in front. Minister Hong is still staring at his son with an unfriendly expression. Seeing the two of them getting closer, Minister Hong's expression suddenly changed and he welcomed them with a face full of smiles.
Ye Xiaotian was about to greet him when he saw Minister Hong's expression. He was surprised and thought, "Could it be that Minister Hong recognizes me as the Warden?"
He saw that Hong Yuanwai walked past the two of them, put his palms together and bowed respectfully to one of the monks, and then hastily took out some money and respectfully put it into the clay bowl. He also bowed again to the monk, while mumbling, "Amitabha Buddha, Amitabha Buddha."
The monk has an unshaven beard and half an inch of hair on his head. There are no scars. He is wearing a tattered monk's robe and a pair of old straw sandals. He holds the clay bowl in one hand and a bamboo stick in the other. His appearance was ferocious, and he did not look like a monk at all.
Tycoon turned his head to Ye Xiaotian and said, "My father is a Buddhist. When he sees a monk, he will respectfully give alms. When the real and fake monks in the county are short of money, they will come to my father. Look at this fellow, does he look like a monk? I can tell at one glance that he is a fake. My father has been fooled. He is a businessman. What kind of eyes does he have? "
Ye Xiaotian looked him up and down and smiled, "Even though you are wearing a scholar's robe, have you ever been a real student? I'm afraid your father still believes that you've studied a little in the county school. Hehe, his eyes are really not that good. "
Tycoon nervously said, "Shh, I treat you as a friend. Don't talk nonsense in front of my father."
Tycoon hurriedly said a few words to him and immediately went forward with an apologetic smile on his face. He warmly called out, "Father …"
Minister Hong sent the monk away with his palms together. As soon as he turned around, his face was full of anger. He did not listen to him and shouted, "Father my ass! You naughty little bastard, why did you leave the county school at this hour? "
Tycoon said, "It's not like that. Father, listen to me …"
Minister Hong pointed at his nose and shouted, "Listen to what you are saying! You carry the four treasures of the study with you every day. You go out early and come back late. You look like a scholar. But have you ever practiced? I just asked Professor Gu yesterday. He said that you handed in a blank paper for last month's exam! "
Tycoon straightened his neck and said, "No. That day I ate osmanthus cake bought on the street. I did not want the cake to spoil. I had an upset stomach and missed the exam. I've already hired a cook to make Osmanthus Flower Cake at home, and I haven't had any diarrhea since then. "
Minister Hong was so angry that he fainted. He shouted, "Never had upset stomach? Never had upset stomach? Then did you … did you improve in your studies? Did you hand in a blank paper during the exam? "
Tycoon blinked his eyes and said to Minister Hong, "Father, I have not done the exam this month."
Ye Xiaotian had been helpless against a clown like Daheng for a long time. He knew how formidable this veteran troublemaker was. To be this clown's father, sigh …
Ye Xiaotian looked at Hong Yuanwai's pale face and trembling lips with sympathy. Hong Yuanwai trembled for a long time before saying, "You're lying now. I can't believe you anymore. Give me your bag. I want to see if there are any test papers. "
Without waiting for Daheng's reply, Mr. Hong snatched the bag from his hands. Tycoon calmly said, "Father, why don't you believe me? Why would I lie to you? I have not done the exam this month … …"
Before Tycoon could finish his sentence, he stopped abruptly. He stared at the thing his father took out from his bag. Ye Xiaotian looked at it and broke out in cold sweat. "What a big … … brick!"
Minister Hong was stunned. He could not understand why his son would have a brick in his bag. School … … Does he need this kind of thing? He did not learn how to build a wall.
Tycoon was also dumbfounded when he saw the brick. He thought to himself, "This is strange. When did my four treasures of the study become bricks? Some bastard must be messing with me again! But … … how long has this brick been in my bag? I remember the last time I opened my bag was about half a month ago. Could it be that I have been carrying this to school since then … … "
Hong Yuanwai didn't give up and looked into the bag again. It was empty and there was nothing inside. Hong Yuanwai took two deep breaths. He held the brick in his hand and looked as if he was about to hit his son's head. He asked angrily, "What is this?"
Tycoon blinked. His shock turned into confusion. "Ah … … This is … … This seems to be … …"
Ye Xiaotian saw that if he did not make a move, Tycoon would be beaten into a pulp. Ye Xiaotian coughed and stepped forward … …
