Save the life delayed by the scum

Chapter 61: The bamboo horse delayed by the scum

The two walked into the study and bowed to the master.

Master Fang waved his hand to let them come closer, and then he took out two letters from his sleeve, and said, "This is the letter of recommendation I am asking for you, I have nothing to teach you now, you can leave someday , go to Kuaiji Academy to study."

The two looked at each other, and they both saw surprises in each other's eyes. Compared with Shen Yue's calmness, Fang Yunxi's temperament was obviously more detached. He asked his grandfather, "But the Kuaiji Academy in Kuaiji Mountain?"

Master Fang glanced at his grandson angrily, "Not that one, which one else?"

"Oh my god!" Fang Yunxi jumped up in surprise, completely out of the obedient manner just now, he pulled Shen Yue's sleeve, looked at him and then turned to look at his grandfather, and said, "So, we are now disciples of the Son of Heaven?"

Shen Yue nodded at him with a smile, and there was uncontrollable joy in his eyes, but he was always restrained, even if he was agitated, he kept restraining his emotions, only the upturned corner of his mouth revealed a few real emotions.

Fang Yunxi was so happy that he jumped up and down while tugging on Shen Yue's sleeve, cheering happily.

Master Fang really didn't see it, and threw a pen at his grandson, which hit the latter on the forehead.Fang Yunxi pouted and looked at his grandfather with his face smeared with ink, "Why are you hitting me?"

"Look at what you look like? It's just out of place." Master Fang pointed at Shen Yue and said, "You should learn from Shen Yue."

Shen Yue stretched out an arm with his back towards his master, and surrounded Fang Yunxi in a protective gesture, then turned his head and explained to his master, "Yunxi is only like this in front of close people, and always pays attention to outsiders."

"Yes, yes." With Shen Yue talking to him, Fang Yunxi wished to turn back with his hips on his hips, but seeing his grandfather glaring at him, the fear of being beaten by hands returned to him when he was a child, so he only dared to hide behind Shen Yue and whispered Bibi, "I'm just so happy."

"You can't even be happy." Master Fang said angrily, "Happiness and anger are invisible, and likes and dislikes are invisible. How did I teach you before?"

"Grandson knows it's wrong." Seeing that his grandfather was really angry, Fang Yunxi didn't dare to behave strangely, and obediently saluted, "I won't dare again next time."

Master Fang waved his hand and sighed, "I'm also doing it for your own good. Most of the students accepted by Kuaiji Academy in recent years are the children of officials and eunuchs. How can I feel at ease if you go like this?"

In fact, Shen Yue is fine, he has always been decent in dealing with people, he is most worried about his grandson, Fang Yunxi's temperament is jumping if it sounds good, but lacking in tendencies if it sounds bad.If he hadn't insisted on taking the scientific examination with Shen Yue, Master Fang's original plan was to suppress him for another three years, so as to cure his temper.

That's all, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think about it.

Master Fang looked at the two children in front of him, and said earnestly, "Remember, after you go to Kuaiji Academy, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, don't be impulsive, and don't cause trouble. The two of you must take care of each other."

"Students/grandchildren take note."

"Okay, you guys go out." Master Fang was tired after a busy day, so he waved his hand to let the two go out.

Fang Yunxi and Shen Yue exited the study, closed the door, and smiled at each other.

Fang Yunxi is still excited when he thinks about it now. Kuaiji Academy is the dream of all scholars in the world. Thinking that they will study there in the near future, he can't wait to jump around three more times.

Just after being scolded for this, Fang Yunxi didn't dare to disturb his grandfather anymore, so he could only pull Shen Yue's sleeve and run outside, ignoring Fang Bo's voice calling him for dinner.

It was already dark outside now, and there were few passers-by. Fang Yunxi no longer had to worry about his image as a scholar. He grabbed Shen Yue's hand and ran on the road until his body was covered with sweat, and the two stopped.

They had already arrived at the lake at the entrance of the village, and the moon quietly showed its corner.

Fang Yunxi calmed down the shortness of breath caused by running, picked up a stone from the ground at random, and made a beautiful float. He cheered and asked enthusiastically, "When are we going to set off?"

Shen Yue remembered that the school day of Kuaiji Academy was still early, so he said slowly, "No hurry, let's save the money on the road first."

Fang Yunxi said, "Grandfather will definitely prepare it for you, why do you bother?"

"Master has already done a lot for me, covering everything from food, clothing, housing, and transportation." Shen Yue looked at the young man standing by the lake and said, "It used to be because I didn't have time to prepare for the scientific examination, but now I obviously have time to support myself, so I can't feel at ease I have accepted the Master's gift."

Fang Yunxi wanted to refute that his grandfather didn't care about this, and his family didn't lack Shen Yue.Although he lives in seclusion with his grandfather in the countryside now, decades ago, his family was also a well-known big family in Jincheng, his father was an official, and his mother's dowry was also quite rich. The taste of money.

However, Shen Yue was obviously unwilling to give him a chance, and continued, "Besides, I have spent so much money in my family studying for so many years, so I should pay back one or two in due course."

Speaking of this, Fang Yunxi naturally couldn't say anything more, so he could only say, "Okay."

Shen Yue pinched the latter's swollen cheeks, and said, "Don't worry, I still have time to play with you."

Fang Yunxi waved Shen Yue's hand away angrily, and said angrily, "It's like I'm playful."

"Isn't it?" Shen Yue raised his eyebrows and asked in doubt.

"Of course not." Fang Yunxi changed his previous gloom, clenched his fists and said, "I also want to earn my own money, aren't you just one year older than me? Pretend to be an adult, I can do things you can do naturally. can do it."

Shen Yue looked at the latter's childish appearance, and said with a smile, "Then I'll wait and see."

Fang Yunxi snorted a few times, and said proudly, "Say, what do we do to make a living?"

Shen Yue straightened his sleeves, and said in a brisk tone, "There are only a few things that scholars can do. I'll call you tomorrow morning, and we'll go to the county bookstore to see if we can take up some copying jobs."

"Huh? Copying books." Fang Yunxi was very disappointed. He hated copying books the most in his life. Every time his grandfather punished him, he was punished for copying books. Over time, he developed a fear of copying books.

"I don't know if I can receive it yet." Shen Yue looked at the calm lake, "If you can't, you can only do some physical work."

Fang Yunxi looked at Shen Yue's side face, and wanted to say that he could borrow Shen Yue's money, but when he thought of what Shen Yue said just now, he felt that he couldn't say it, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll just go."

Shen Yue said, "It's getting late, you should go back to rest early, I will come to you tomorrow morning."

It's time to get up at Mao, it's not even dawn at that time.

Fang Yunxi smacked his tongue secretly, but he just agreed to support himself, so he couldn't go back on his word immediately, so he could only agree with a bitter face.

The two of them went back along the village road, and when Fang Yunxi entered the house, Shen Yue went home.

When Shen Yue returned home, he found that the lights in the huts on both sides had been extinguished, only an oil lamp was left in the main room, leaving a faint shadow on the paper window.

Shen Yue pushed the door open and went in. Old man Shen heard the movement, put on his clothes and came out.

Shen Yue called out to his grandfather, the old man nodded and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Shen Yue shook his head, but he didn't have much appetite at the moment, he helped his grandfather sit down on the chair in the main room, and told them what Master Fang said to them today.

Old man Shen was also very excited when he heard this, and said, "You must remember the great kindness Master Fang has shown to our family. Without him, you would not be where you are today."

Shen Yue nodded, and he also took advantage of the opportunity to talk about his going to the county to find a job tomorrow. In addition to making money, he also meant to subsidize the family.

Old man Shen thought about it and agreed.

When Shen Yue was admitted as a scholar, many people also sent congratulatory gifts, and the villagers also sent gifts, but everyone did not have enough money, and there were not many.All the money added up was less than 50 taels of silver, of which 30 taels were given by the local county magistrate.

This money looks scary, but the further you go in the imperial examination, the more expensive it is. The old man Shen helped Shen Yue put it away, and prepared to spend money for the next exam. When he heard that Shen Yue was going to the county tomorrow to find a job Timing, after thinking about it, he took out a few pieces of broken silver and a few copper plates, and stuffed them in Shen Yue's hands, "Keep it as a spare."

In fact, it wouldn't be that much, but Shen Yue thought of something, and didn't refuse it, so he accepted it obediently.

Old man Shen will go to the field tomorrow, so he went back to sleep after chatting with Shen Yue.

People in this era don't have much entertainment at night, so they go to bed very early. Before Xu time, most people have already fallen asleep. In the true sense, they work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

After Shen Yue washed, he also lay down in his room, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, Shen Yue waited outside Fang's house on time, and Fang Yunxi came out yawning and sleepy before he waited long.

"Morning." Shen Yue handed over the breakfast in his hand, it was a shepherd's purse bun he took from home, "Do you want to eat?"

Fang Yunxi stretched out his head to grab it, and said viciously, "Eat." But because of something stuffed in his mouth, his voice was muffled.

Shen Yue also stuffed a bun into her mouth, took a few bites, and urged, "We have to hurry up. Uncle Li, who is driving the car in the village, is leaving. If we miss it, we will have to walk."

Thinking of the tens of miles in between, Fang Yunxi didn't want to walk, so he silently followed Shen Yue and walked quickly towards the entrance of the village, eating buns quickly.

When the two of them arrived, Uncle Li happened to be driving the car out, and met two talented men from the village stopping the cart at the entrance of the village.

Shen Yue nodded to Uncle Li with a smile, pulled Fang Yunxi into the car, and said, "Uncle Li, don't make fun of us. Let's go to the county town to find out if there is any work we can do to subsidize our family."

Uncle Li sighed, "There are very few young people who are as hardworking as you are. That brat in my family is so tired that he wouldn't even go to work with me."

Fang Yunxi had never been in this kind of ox cart. When he was a child, he used to ride in a carriage or a donkey cart with his grandfather. Even the least comfortable mule-carried sedan chair had a carriage for people at the back, so when he came up, he unexpectedly For a while I didn't know where to sit.

Fortunately, Shen Yue noticed his predicament, tidied up the dry straw on the car, and cleared a space for Fang Yunxi.

Fang Yunxi gave Shen Yue a big smile, sat down, and began to watch Uncle Li drive the ox cart with great interest, not caring about the harsh environment at all.

Shen Yue shook his head, and continued chatting with Uncle Li, "Isn't Brother Li learning carpentry recently? It's also very good."

Hearing that Shen Yue took the initiative to praise his son, Uncle Li couldn't help but smile. Even if he scolded his son for not living up to expectations, he would still listen to others praise him.He waved the whip in his hand, and said, "That brat is no match for you, as long as he is half as hardworking as you, I can wake up laughing when I sleep."
