With a brain-loving husband [travel]

Du Zunsu watched helplessly as the person in front of him swallowed the last bite of pastry, feeling so distressed that he almost shed tears.

That is the starry sky pastry that he has been thinking about for a long time!

"Gu Cheng, you old bastard." Du Zunsu clenched his fists tightly, and his gray beard flew up in anger.

But Gu Chengcai didn't care, wiped off the crumbs from the corner of his mouth, calmly glanced at him and said, "Du Zunsu, you are a good dean who teaches etiquette, how can you scold someone just because of a piece of pastry?"

After all, he twirled his beard and immersed himself in the fragrance of the pastry.

Fortunately, he stayed in Xinghua Town for a while due to business, so he was able to pass by and taste the best pastries.Although I just encountered a difficult patient and felt a little bad, but after eating a few pastries, I feel much happier.

Du Zunsu, who was stabbed in the lifeline by the words, immediately withdrew his hand, but the redness in his eyes did not decrease a bit: "You old man, why do you always fight against the old man? Wasn't it enough to snatch the old man's flower cake last time?" !"

The onlookers were all amazed, and they all laughed in their hearts. They didn't expect Du Zunsu and Gu Cheng to have such grievances about pastries.

"However, isn't that flower sponge cake only available in Mofangxuan?" Another person whispered.

"Yes, it turns out that Mr. Du also likes the pastries in Mofangxuan."

As soon as the words came out, Du Zunsu knew that he was out of breath and said everything.Looking up, the old man on the opposite side was looking at him triumphantly, with a completely cunning look of success.

Just as he was about to curse, Mo Jingcheng stopped him in time: "Sir, why don't you take a seat in the restaurant, we will definitely deliver new pastries, which is also an apology for your rudeness just now."

The reason why he retorted just now was because he subconsciously defended the pastry made by Fang Yun when he saw the old gentleman slandering Fang Yun's cakes in public.But this old gentleman is still the dean of the academy after all, and Fang Xiao will be admitted to the academy in the future, so he doesn't want to end up with him.

Besides, although he and Fang Yun opened a restaurant in the town, he knows that people in this world will still favor the local respected old gentlemen. .

He wanted to give Fu Lang a stable life.

Du Zunsu twitched his beard, and glared angrily at the humble man in front of him. Knowing that the man was giving him a step down, he didn't refuse, but stepped in with his hands behind his back and pretending to be magnanimous.

"For the sake of your politeness, the old man will go sit down."

Gu Cheng unceremoniously gave him a blank look.

There was a tense atmosphere in the restaurant.

Du Zunsu and Gu Cheng sat opposite each other, and they both looked at each other disliked, one was so angry that his beard was raised, and the other rolled his eyes several times.

The servants of the restaurant were leaning against the counter, with a few handfuls of sunflower seeds at hand, watching the two gentlemen quarreling with interest.

Fang Xiao, who didn't know much about this, blinked his eyes, looked at this and that, and imitated his appearance by leaning under the counter and looking at that.

The boys always like to listen to anecdotes, and there is no lack of fun stories about Du Zunsu and Gu Cheng's rivals.Rumor has it that they grew up together as companions, and their relationship is also very good. When they were children, they often studied together as companions, and occasionally they would lie on the wall to steal the neighbor's fruit.

But for some reason, when they were over twenty, they became like strangers. One opened a medical clinic and the other entered an academy. They ignored each other and turned away when they met.When they met again later, they started to quarrel even if they didn't agree with each other.

"Especially when it comes to things like cakes, the two old gentlemen quarreled even more. I heard that they both have tricky tastes, and they don't like ordinary cakes." A boy cracked a melon seed.

Another young man continued: "The two old gentlemen are respected gentlemen in the town, so it is well known that they quarreled."

Yu Nian also started eating melon seeds, and even licked Jiang Huaishou's arm with great interest, "Jiang Huaishou, don't you think those two old heads don't look like what we will look like in the future?"

Jiang Huaishou glanced at Yu Nian's hand that was holding Guazi, then quickly averted his gaze and remained silent.

But Fang Xiao was a little puzzled when he heard it, so he said nunuo: "Brother Yu Nian also wants to have gray hair with Brother Jiang?"

Xiaotuanzi didn't know about bickering, but only knew that his brother and brother-in-law seemed to have mentioned the meaning of gray hair, so when he saw two old gentlemen with gray hair, he also asked in a daze.

Unexpectedly, Xiaotuanzi would say that, both of them were taken aback.

But Yu Nian quickly came to his senses, squatted down cheerfully, picked up Xiao Tuanzi, and explained: "No, Jiang □ will marry a good girl or a good brother, how can he grow gray hair with a man like me?" ah."

"Isn't brother Yu Nian a good brother?" Xiao Tuanzi only noticed the word "good".

Yu Nian was silent for a long time, and when Xiaotuanzi finally got impatient and turned his head to the other side, he gave a wry smile and replied in a low voice, "Not a good brother, let alone a good brother."

Jiang Huaishou glanced at him, and tightened his grip on the scabbard.

But Yu Nian quickly recovered his previous mood, excitedly nibbling sunflower seeds again, as if he wasn't the one who lost just now.

"It's a good thing we came here today, otherwise we would have missed the old man's quarrel." Yu Nian stared intently, afraid that he might miss a little detail.

In order for Fang Xiao to concentrate on his studies, Yu Nian hadn't appeared in Mofangxuan for a long time, but stayed alone in that small inn, imparting knowledge diligently.

But fortunately, the inn is a first-class guest room, and everything is available, so I and Xiaotuanzi are not treated badly.Fortunately, Fang Xiao is smart, he can read and write quickly, and he can read quickly. It only takes a month, and he can recite everything that needs to be recited.

The left and right people who needed to meet the assessment were taught, and Yu Nian couldn't be idle, so he couldn't wait to take Xiao Tuanzi back to the restaurant, just in time to meet two deadly enemies appearing here.

"Why is this old thing still here?" Du Zunsu gave Gu Cheng a hard look.

I saw that the other party still had the same leisurely look, looking at him after taking a bite of the egg yolk cake, there was a trace of provocation.

Du Zunsu almost had a mouthful of old blood in his heart.Rao has been a teacher for decades, and the rigorous temperament he has finally cultivated prevents him from attacking in public.

But what he didn't know was that the more excited he was, the happier Gu Cheng was, but he didn't show it on the surface, and only irritated him secretly.

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng put down the wooden chopsticks in his hand, completely different from the weird look before, and said with a sneer: "Why can't I be here, this restaurant is opened by your kid, or you contracted this restaurant ?”

When it was over, he pretended to interrupt himself and said: "Oh, I forgot, a certain old gentleman wants to see the bright moon in the mountains, but he looks down on this small restaurant."

The young servants laughed happily, but Du Zunsu glared at him fiercely because they laughed too recklessly.

"Don't tell me, only Mr. Gu can cure Old Man Du." The servant said in a low voice.

As soon as the words fell, everyone was holding their stomachs and laughing again.

Knowing that he was at a disadvantage, Du Zunsu ignored him.Feeling overwhelmed with anger, he looked at the restaurant.

They are located in the floral restaurant on the second floor.Because the flowers in the flower garden were blooming well, Mo Jingcheng put the newly bloomed flowers over early, so he looked full of vigor.

But Du Zunsu, who stayed in the scroll all day long, despised these things, so he didn't look at them any more. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xiaotuanzi with bright eyes.

Although he was strict with his students on weekdays, he actually cared for them secretly. If he saw that someone didn't have enough clothes, he would ask his wife to make a new set for poor students.

It's just that his eccentric temper is far more famous than his good intentions, so he is often covered up. All he knows is that the dean of Lutai Academy always makes students copy books miserable.

And he, who has no children, loves children very much, but because of his face and the rigid image forced on him by the outside world, he doesn't show it.But Xu Shi had just been out of breath, and this time he also relaxed a lot in his heart.

Seeing Fang Xiao's cute appearance, Du Zunsu waved to him and said with a straight face, "Come here."

Fang Xiao blinked, but didn't go over. Instead, he ran up behind Mo Jingcheng with a pair of bright eyes peeping.

"Old man, you will scare Fang Xiao like this." Gu Chengbai gave him a look.

But Du Zunsu rarely smiled, and that expression was just a habitual one.He himself was very distressed, and it seemed that the children were very afraid of him.

"Xiao'er, that's the dean of Lutai Academy, do you remember? Brother-in-law once said." Mo Jingcheng knelt down and rubbed Fang Xiao's head.

Fang Xiao nodded obediently.

When my brother-in-law said that he would be sent to the academy to study, he told him about the academy. He worked so hard to read and read in order to pass the examination early.

He didn't want to cause too much trouble for his brother and brother-in-law.

"Then Xiao'er go over and say hello to the dean?"

Fang Xiao blinked, and ran over on short legs.

Du Zunsu had never seen such a handsome and lovely child, and wanted to rub him hard, but there were too many people around him, so he had no choice but to restrain his urge.

"Son, what are you calling? Can you read poetry and books?"

Fang Xiao answered his name obediently, and recited a poem without timidity.

After hearing Fang Xiao recite word by word, Du Zunsu stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes.Seeing that the child was only five or six years old, he could recite poems that even he could rarely understand, so he couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Who taught you this?"

"It's brother Yunian." Fang Xiao turned his head to look for Yunian's figure, but he couldn't find him, "Hey, where is brother Yunian?"

The name Du Zunsu sounded very familiar, but he couldn't remember it, but he also felt that the students he had taught were all over the country, so it was normal for him to feel familiar.

Gu Cheng on the side wanted to mock Du Zunsu a few words, but frowned when he heard the name.

At this time, Mo Jingcheng came up and said sincerely: "Mr., my husband and I are about to send this child to the academy. I wonder if this child is eligible to participate in the academy's assessment?"

According to the regulations of Lutai Academy, before sending the child to the assessment, the parents must first report their names, and only after being reviewed by the dean Du Zunsu and others can they be eligible to enter the assessment.

As for how to pass the hurdle of "Looking Over", only the inside of the Academy knows the rules and does not tell others the rules. However, there have been no disputes for a long time, and it is also because of the inability to pass the hurdle of bribery.

But as far as Mo Jingcheng saw it, the so-called review was nothing more than the dean personally checking whether the child was smart and whether he could respond freely in the answers.As for the way, that is unknown.

"This child is smart, but at this age." Du Zunsu hesitated, "The children who enter the academy are mostly children over the age of eight. If they are at Fang Xiao's age, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to keep up in the future."

Gu Cheng didn't like the appearance of hesitating before starting to do it, so he sneered: "People also say that you old guy should go to the countryside to spend the rest of your life, why don't you go?"

As soon as these words came out, Du Zunsu couldn't hold back any longer, and threw all the etiquette of Mr. Wu to the back of his mind, and threw the wooden chopsticks in his hand viciously.

"Gu Cheng! It's up to you! I just made some mistakes back then, so you still hold grudges!"
