The teacher Xu Jie is going to sell the bath bucket to help him pay the fine, how can Zhu Ping'an not be "honest and fearful" and "grateful".

"A teacher for one day, a father for life, speaking of which, you are also half my younger brother, what is polite to our old man." Xu Fan patted Zhu Ping'an's shoulder familiarly, looking like a brother.

Ahem......

You're really speechless......

Zhu Ping'an listened to Xu Fan's words, and almost didn't get stuck, how could he become half of your younger brother in a blink of an eye, this slope was too anxious, and he didn't keep up......

"Zihou is here, you sit down first, and wait for the old man to finish writing this painting."

When Zhu Ping'an entered the study to visit Xu Jie, Xu Jie's was writing, wearing a set of gray-white Luo gauze regular clothes, a black square soft hat, and a common dress for Confucian scholars. After seeing Zhu Ping'an enter the door, Xu Jie nodded and asked Zhu Ping'an to sit down, then lowered his head and continued to write.

"Teacher, you're busy."

Zhu Ping'an bowed and sat down.

"Dad, your writing is really good, quite like Wang Xiyan's true style." Xu Fan saw Xu Jie's cat and rat saw it, and stepped forward to help Yan Mo with his hand, glanced at the words written by Xu Jie, and began to pat his ass.

Xu Jie stopped his pen and glanced at Xu Fan, Xu Fan smiled and shrunk his neck stupidly.

In just three or five minutes, Xu Jie finished writing, put the brush on the pen stand, and beckoned Zhu Ping'an to come closer.

Zhu Ping'an approached and saw that Xu Jie had just written a couplet:

A righteous body and the world is peaceful;

The breeze on both sleeves sleeps peacefully.

Xu Jie's Kaishu is written in Kai, Kaishu is neat, fits the couplet, Xu Jie's Kaishu is very good, calligraphy is no less than Yan Song, just like Xu Fan said, Xu Jie's words have Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing's feeling, Yan Zhenqing's Kaishu bones, Wang Xizhi's Kaishu God.

"How about the old man of Zi Houjue." Xu Jie waited for Zhu Ping'an to get close to him and asked Zhu Ping'an to comment on the couplet he wrote.

"Connected like a person, a righteous person. The word is Haoran, and the face is bone. Zhu Ping'an said seriously.

Zhu Ping'an's comments are very fitting couplets, not hype. The content of Xu Jie's couplet is righteousness and integrity, and the regular script font has the demeanor of Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing, to be precise, Yan Zhenqing's bones, Wang Xizhi's god, and the whole has a heroic righteousness.

After Zhu Ping'an finished commenting, Xu Jie shook his head with a smile.

"Dad, look, Zihou said the same thing." Xu Fan was overjoyed when he heard this, Zhu Ping'an's Yan Gu Xishen was similar to the sycophant he just shot, so he said to Xu Jie excitedly, "It's not my son's nonsense just now." ”

"If you have half of the son, the old man will be relieved." Xu Jie glared at Xu Fan, with a look of disgust.

"Ahem, when the teacher said so, the student was ashamed of his shame." Zhu Ping'an said with an embarrassed face.

"He should be ashamed." Xu Jie smiled slightly.

Xu Fan didn't care, it was estimated that he was used to being hit by Xu Jie.

All right.

Hitting is kissing and scolding is love.

Zhu Ping'an can see it, don't look at Xu Jie's disgust for Xu Fan, he must be very satisfied with this eldest son in his heart.

Next, Zhu Ping'an commented on the couplet again, this time more attentively. However, Xu Jie still smiled and shook his head.

"The student is foolish, and he asks the teacher for advice." Zhu Ping'an looked at it for another moment, shook his head, and said frankly with a frustrated face.

"Oh, I found it, Ping'an, the word 'Ping' is at the end." Xu Fan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered a new continent, and he pointed to the end of the upper and lower links and said loudly.

A righteous body and the world is peaceful;

The breeze on both sleeves sleeps peacefully.

Only then did Zhu Ping'an notice that the couplet written by Xu Jie had a "ping" at the end of the upper couplet, and an "an" at the end of the lower couplet, which was really the word Ping'an, implying his name, this is the couplet Xu Jie wrote to himself? Zhu Ping'an looked up at Xu Jie.

"You Taicang checked it very well, ahead of the curve, so that the old man's face is also brightened, this couplet was written by the old man and you. I wanted someone to send you to the house, but since you're here, it won't be troublesome, so I'll take it back later. Xu Jie nodded with a slight smile, looked at Zhu Ping'an with great satisfaction and said.

"The student is ashamed, and he should not be the teacher." Zhu Ping'an arched his hand.

"You have done a good job, Taicang has accumulated disadvantages for many years, and it is the time when you need to scrape your bones to cure the poison. You checked the library this time, and hit the nail on the head, so that the disease-ridden Ming finances were able to rejuvenate with their hands. Xu Jie stroked his beard and praised Zhu Ping'an Chaku's errand.

"The student is ashamed, this time it was just a coincidence, and he also caused the teacher to be innocently fined 6,000 taels of silver, and the student really has no shame to see the teacher." Zhu Ping'an pleaded guilty.

"Money is something outside the body, don't say six thousand taels, what about the old man's net worth. Take the old man, benefit the world, this matter is salty and honorable. Xu Jie waved his hand indifferently.

"Moreover, it is an indisputable fact that the treasurer and the imperial historian took bribes in favor and filled their pockets. When the old man also heard about it, but when he was routinely checking the library, Jiangnan sent a big flood, and the old man was seconded to Jiangnan for disaster relief by his mentor Xia Gong, and failed to participate in the investigation, and when the old man came back from disaster relief, the bank had already been checked. Even so, the old man is also guilty of negligence, and he should be fined, what does it have to do with you. Xu Jie continued.

This is indeed the case, Xu Jie's hometown of Xia Yan, who was the first assistant at the time, was affected by the flood. There was a flood in his hometown, and he must take special care of it, so Xia Yan transferred his most trusted student Xu Jie to his hometown for disaster relief.

As a result, Xu Jie, who was supposed to check the library, was transferred to Jiangnan for disaster relief before he arrived in Taicang. By the time Xu Jie's disaster relief returned, the rest of the treasury envoys had already finished checking the treasury.

Therefore, to be honest, Xu Jie's fine this time really belongs to lying guns.

"Oh, by the way, Zihou, you were also fined more than a hundred taels of silver, can you make it up?" Xu Jie looked at Zhu Ping'an with concern and asked, without waiting for Zhu Ping'an to reply, Xu Jie turned his head and said to Xu Fan, "Fan'er, you go to the account to pay a hundred taels of silver, and let Zihou bring it back later." ”

"Thank you to the teacher, the students are grateful. However, I don't dare to worry about it anymore, and the peace has already been gathered. Zhu Ping'an thanked Xu Jie.

"Well, it's good to get it together." Xu Jie nodded, "You have made a great contribution this time, but you were still fined silver, the old man knows that you have been wronged, but you don't blame the saint, this is also for the sake of the overall situation, once a precedent is set, it will be difficult to carry out the recovery of the fine." ”

"Students understand." Zhu Ping'an nodded.
