Chapter Seventy-One: Dismounting
Others look at Fang Yingwu, and Fang Yingwu also looks at everyone. When dealing with Xu Huai and Xu Xueba, he secretly glanced back and forth a few times, and then saw the demeanor of most people in his eyes.
Among the seventy or eighty people in Minglun Hall, there is a small group of people who gloat, and it should be the old man Xu Huai's sworn friend. But most people are neutral, or rather indifferent. Although he won't help Xueba to bully himself, he may not be as helpful as Xiang and Hong.
He knew in his heart that there were probably three reasons for this. First, his status has risen too fast, although his fame has gradually come out, he is still a stranger to the county scholars, and his fame is not so great that he is famous and admired by the scholars, and he needs to accumulate it;
Second, he is not from a famous family, nor is he a family of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, of course, he has a huge advantage over ordinary people, but he has no psychological advantage for young scholars. Of course, there will be no other people's rush to seek after, and there is a bit of a possibility that his father came in person under the name of Xie Yuan, and there are rules for scholars in the reading circle.
Third, he is the highest-level student when he enters the county school, and in the eyes of the great grandmaster, he is a favor the size of a sesame mung bean, but for ordinary scholars, it is enough to make people blush.
As the saying goes, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. It's not that everything will be fine when you become a student, and if you want to take the township exam, you have to go through screening and examination, and you will take advantage of it. was suddenly occupied by a new stranger, and no one was a little unhappy in their hearts.
If it is an old acquaintance, everyone will laugh and laugh in the past, just like Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian's attitude towards each other's things, but the problem is that most of the other party should not be familiar with things.
Fang Yingwu sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder the old Hong Gongzi reminded a few days ago, "It's not that easy. You'll know when you enter the county school." This Xu Huai jumped out to give himself a dismount. Although he is angry for himself, why is it not secretly in line with the psychology of others?
And his father seems to be a really unsociable nerd. After six or seven years of school in the county, he didn't leave himself a good popularity. Later, my father went out to study for two years, and his favor in the county school was even weaker.
Having said that, the others are fine, but this Xu Huai Xu Xueba is really depressed. This year, he relied on his familiar face to settle the relationship between all parties, and suppressed the juniors in the county school who were better than him, telling others not to compete with him.
He is determined to get the vacant slot, and he thinks that it is within reach. But unexpectedly, a great master who acted unreasonably came, and he didn't talk about any affection, and directly beat him to the third class in the annual exam. The third class in the sixth class. It can only be regarded as moderation, and progress is absolutely impossible.
Zuihou fell on Fang Yingwu, a sixteen-year-old boy, like a pie in the sky, Xu Xueba, who was already thirty-seven or eighteen years old, was so embarrassed that he couldn't get angry when he saw Fang Yingwu. The county school is his home field, and he is not humiliated by how to get out of his heart.
Seeing Fang Yingwu pretending to be stupid here, looking pitiful and honest, Xu Huai was even more unhappy. Aggressively asked, "You can sit comfortably in the position?" ”
This is not easy to answer, and it is very tricky. No matter how you answer it, you will be found wrong. Fang Yingwu smiled again, "I once said to Wang Xianzun, the monarch and the minister will be repaid, and the father and son should inherit it." ”
This sentence is really just right. Even if you are a picky person, you can't find fault with the other party's answer, and you are very careful about being neither humble nor arrogant.
His father was a widow at the time. Last year, the seat was vacated in the middle of the year, and this year it happened to be replaced by his son. Isn't that the inheritance of the father and the son?
Xu Huai can look down on Fang Qingzhi jointly, but he can't look down on Xie Yuan. He snorted coldly: "I admire Ling Zun very much, he deserves to be a good student." But it's very strange to you, isn't it a fluke? ”
Fang Yingwu despised Xu Huai more and more, and there were two exams in the three years of the county school, called the annual examination and the subject examination, and the grades were decided according to the quality of the results.
This person is thirty-seven or eighteen, I don't know how many times he has taken the exam, and he has not yet been promoted to a student, so it can be seen that the level is average, and it is estimated that he is not good at being a person. Do you still have the face to complain about others stealing his place? The literati are not so light-hearted.
Fang Yingwu thought for a while and replied, "Is it a fluke or not, this is not what I said. It's nearly noon today, so I don't have time to ask Senior Xu for advice, just wait for the next chance! ”
In the eyes of others, this is, of course, Fang Yingwu's evasion of delay, but it is also a humble way not to tear his face. Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian got up together and said, "Today's time is up, don't leave it at that!" ”
Xu Huai stopped Fang Yingwu and forced: "Don't worry! I have a way to ask for teaching, you came to the county school today to visit the teachings, you should have brought the document to ask the instructor for guidance, why don't you take it out and ask me to enjoy it. ”
He had a point, because in the first few years of scholars' travels, when they visited a teacher or the like for the first time, they would usually carry their own manuscripts and scrolls with them, and put on a humble posture of asking for guidance. Today is the first time Fang Yingwu has come to the county to study, and he must meet the teachings, and according to the rules, he must also carry the manuscript.
Xu Huai wanted to see Fang Yingwu's manuscript, obviously he wanted to bully the small. The first is to put himself in the position of the division commander, and the second is to make a good evaluation of the face of the party.
Fang Yingwu seemed to wake up like a dream, and said with an anxious face: "But it's not mine, I forgot to hand over the manuscript and ask the teacher to dial it!" It's time to make up for it now, but I don't know if it's too late. ”
"Slow!" Xu Huai stopped Fang Yingwu again, "Why don't you take it out first, I'll wait for the seniors to help you see it first, and it's not too late for you to find Mr. tomorrow." ”
There were also people around who shouted: "Friend Fang is going to find Mr. at this time, it is too lazy, it is better to go early tomorrow morning to look respectful!" Now let me wait for the meeting with the text! ”
Xiang Chengxian was a little secretly angry that Xu Huai repeatedly pestered and made it difficult, this is too faceless, even if you get off the horse, there must be a limit! He was about to step forward, but was stopped by Hong Song.
Fang Yingwu slowly took out a few manuscripts from his arms, and said to Xu Huai very embarrassed, "I brought an article with me, but this is for Mr. to read, out of courtesy, it is better for senior Xu not to read it." ”
Taking advantage of Fang Yingwu's defenselessness, Xu Huai snatched the manuscript with his hand and looked at it on the bookcase next to him. Fang Yingwu's face was anxious, and he desperately tried to get close to him to stop him, but he was stopped by several Xu Huai's comrades.
There was ready-made pen and ink on the bookcase, Xu Huaixin took out a brush, dipped it in ink, and unceremoniously circled Fang Yingwu's manuscript, deleted, changed and changed.
Xu Huai's level is not very good, but he has been in the county school for more than ten years, his writing is rotten, and his hand speed is extremely fast. For a while, the pen is like flying, the pen is walking dragon and snake, and people are dizzy and fascinated.
A quarter of an hour later, the article was changed beyond recognition from beginning to end, and the blank spaces were filled with all kinds of additions, deletions, and modifications.
After finishing, Xu Huai only felt refreshed and happy, and the evil qi that he had held for several days was swept away.
He stood up and handed a few pages of the manuscript back to Fang Yingwu, and said proudly: "This article is nothing more than that, there is no merit!" I really don't know how you passed the Taoist test and entered the county school! I've finished grading for you, you can take it down and figure it out carefully! ”
Everyone can be sure that this is a naked slap in the face and revenge. I don't say what Fang Yingwu's article is, but in the hands of Xu Huai, who is deliberately retaliating, it will definitely be revised as an inferior article. For a literati, this is a great humiliation, and generally only a teacher dares to let go of other people's articles.
What's more, there is no very accurate standard for the article, and the quality often depends on the size of the discourse, and Fang Yingwu is far inferior to the old scholar here.
But seeing Fang Yingwu holding the manuscript handed back by Xu Huai, flipping through it, he kept sighing, his eyebrows wrinkled tighter and tighter, and he wanted to cry without tears. In the eyes of the neutral classmates, he suddenly felt that he was really anxious for him.
If you have received this kind of humiliation, it is better to fight to insult Sven and jump up and beat Xu Huai violently, than to stand here and suffer grievances but dare not speak out. How can you be so cowardly?
"Scattered, scattered!" Xu Huai greeted everyone and patted Fang Yingwu on the shoulder again, "Friend Fang thinks that he is comfortable sitting in this position now?" The county school is not as good as the outside! ”
Fang Yingwu shook off Xu Huai, turned his head to Xiang Chengxian and said with a sad face: "This is an article that Shang Xianggong personally corrected for me, I copied a copy and put it by my side, so I have to learn and figure it out from time to time." How is it good to be smeared beyond recognition now? How good is that? ”
Zhengyi Minglun Hall was originally in a mess because it was noon, but after Fang Yingwu's words entered everyone's ears, there was no sound when he boarded, and the needles could be heard.
There are only three words in one sentence that are very important - Shang Xianggong. As for how good this can be in the back and so on, it's all nonsense.
It turns out that this article is the final version that Shang Xianggong has personally revised? Dozens of eyes fell on Xu Huai in unison, because this person had spoken it himself a moment ago, and this article was nothing more than that, and there was nothing to be taken from.
Xu Xueba was like five thunderbolts, his face suddenly turned a little pale, he really dared to change Fang Yingwu's article indiscriminately, but if he had known that this article was the final version of Shang Xianggong's correction, would he still have the courage to change it again?
It's over, it's over, Xu Xueba's mood fell into the abyss.
It doesn't matter if he did it on purpose or not, whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, it's a tragic word! He made a big revision of Shang Xianggong's handwriting and sprayed it uselessly, which is already a fact witnessed by dozens of people.
Shang Xianggong will definitely not openly deal with his little character, but it is certain that the problem is not so simple, and other people's reactions will be really fatal, and public opinion alone can crush him into pulp.
Get off the horse, this is definitely the new classmate's report today, the bloodless after the killing!
In addition to Xu Huai, there are several top students who are already in a cold sweat, and they are sweating in fear. Fortunately, today is Xu Huai's biggest resentment, and he acts as cannon fodder to dismiss his new classmates. If they go into battle on a whim and bully the new students, wouldn't it be themselves who are unlucky? (To be continued.) )
