Silly Scholar's Wife

"Brother Mu, brother Mu."

Wang Qingquan and Li Shaojie hurriedly followed Mu Chenxi into the schoolhouse, "We didn't say this, you must trust us."

"It's okay, it's not something you can't see people."

Seeing their anxious faces, Mu Chenxi smiled and said, "I didn't doubt you at all, I thought too much."

"Then who said that, Brother Liu is naturally impossible."

Wang Qingquan didn't know who else knew about this, so he looked at Li Shaojie, "Now I know, what should I do?"

He was a little afraid to look at Mu Chenxi. They saw what happened just now, but they couldn't go to help, and felt guilty.

"You don't need to worry about it, you know it when you know it, it's nothing."

Mu Chenxi saw their serious faces, as if something big had happened, she couldn't help shaking her head: "It's fine if you know, it's fine."

"But if they laugh at you."

Wang Qingquan hesitated to speak, because he felt a little ashamed about it, but he couldn't say it in front of Mu Chenxi, "There will always be some people who are annoying to whisper behind their backs."

"If you can't hear it, it means you don't have it."

Mu Chenxi is particularly open-minded. He chose this path, so he is naturally not afraid of this. "It's my own business whether I can not be ranked. If they envy them, they don't have to."

Knowing that Wang Qingquan had good intentions, he said softly, "Students, most of them are gentlemen, so don't worry about these things."

Mu Chenxi looked at the students filing in, and said with a smile, "Maybe they are lucky to have one less competitor!"

"This."

Mu Chenxi can still calm down at this time, Wang Qingquan is really speechless, in their opinion, this is not a glorious thing, "Okay! Just don't care."

He returned to his seat dejectedly. He didn't understand why Mu Chenxi could think so openly. He didn't care about other people's eyes or gossip.

"Brother Mu is really open-minded and doesn't care about these things."

Li Shaojie was really convinced this time, others thought Mu Chenxi was stupid, but they knew that was not the case.

He thought that if he was in Mu Chenxi's position, he would be ashamed and angry at this moment, and even if he didn't reach the point of collapse, he would never be so open-minded.

"Cheng Jinwen and the others went too far this time."

Wang Qingquan looked at them unkindly, "If you lose, you lose. Could it be that you can't afford to lose? You still want to find something later, what is it?"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry."

Li Shaojie didn't know why this time, but he was very confident that Mu Chenxi would not lose, "It's a good thing that they rushed to give money to Brother Mu, you just wait for Brother Mu to treat you!"

"I'd rather wait and see how they get slapped in the face."

Wang Qingquan sneered, "I've never seen such a small-bodied person, and he's the son of everyone in Fucheng, what a shame."

…………

Cheng Jinwen watched Mu Chenxi leave leisurely, and the other students also left as if nothing had happened. No one had any opinion on this matter.

He stood outside alone with Xiao Ruxi with a cold face, thinking that if he exposed Mu Chenxi, those students would laugh at him and look down on him, so he could watch the fun and vent his anger.

I didn't expect everyone to have this kind of reaction. What's especially hateful is that when he bet against Mu Chenxi again, he seemed to be muttering to himself, but also seemed to say to Xiao Ruxi: "We must win this time."

"How to win?"

Xiao Ruxi looked at him strangely, "How can we learn, haven't we figured it out yet? Who can guarantee whether we can win."

He was just angry at Mu Chenxi's ignoring attitude. A poor family didn't pay attention to them, so he agreed regardless of winning or losing.

"It's nothing more than a little money, and we are not short of these."

Xiao Ruxi patted him on the shoulder and said: "Regardless of whether we win or lose, we should be careful. It's not like we haven't lost before. This time we won't be as embarrassing as last time. We didn't bully him, it's just that we couldn't swallow it."

Hearing what he said, Cheng Jinwen's eyes flickered a few times, and he said tentatively: "Why don't you go find Brother Qi, he is ranked third, and he will never be compared by Mu Chenxi."

"It's still free."

Xiao Ruxi waved his hands repeatedly. His cousin is not easy to get along with, "He said just now that we are not allowed to talk to Mu Chenxi about this matter. Going now is just to see his cold face."

Cheng Jinwen was also afraid of Qi Junfeng, so he could only give up resentfully, "I don't believe that he can really be better than us in learning. If that's the case, he won't be a juror, hanging around among us scholars."

Mu Chenxi really didn't keep the two of them waiting for too long. After eating in the dining hall at noon, the students gathered in Juyuan to study the top ten articles posted.

"Come on, let it go, let it go."

The students who were watching saw Mu Chenxi waving at them as soon as they turned around, "Please make room first, everyone."

Mu Chenxi took the gardener uncle and carried a ladder over there. He quickly climbed up the ladder and pasted the articles he had done in the two monthly exams.

"Everyone, I'm sorry."

After Mu Chenxi came down, he saluted them, "The posting space is limited, so it can only be posted on you, please forgive me."

"It's okay."

A student said with a smile: "It is my honor to be able to taste Brother Mu's articles."

"That's right, brother Mu, you don't have to be polite. Let's discuss knowledge together and communicate more with each other when we have time."

The other students expressed that they didn't care. Most of them had a steelyard in their hearts and knew Mu Chenxi's intentions.

Most of the scholars have integrity, and most of them are gentlemen.After learning about Mu Chenxi's situation, they were all sympathetic and sorry, no one would come forward to make trouble.

This is also the reason why when Cheng Jinwen thought that someone would laugh at Mu Chenxi for exposing him, they all turned around and ignored him.

"Brother Mu."

At this time, Wang Qingquan and the others squeezed over and asked happily, "Is this your article posted?"

"Ah."

Mu Chenxi nodded and said with a smile: "As a Juren, I don't want to show off the article, but there are people who don't follow it, so I can't do it."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Jinwen, who was not far away with a sullen face, and said, "Brother Cheng, I have posted an article to prove it, and now I am waiting for you."

That's what Mu Chenxi said, but he didn't want to wait for them to prove it. He told the gardener uncle to carry the ladder and left. He still needs to learn how to prune plum trees, so how could he have time to entangle with them.

He expected that Cheng Jinwen and the others would not have the courage to post their own articles, but if they did, he would admire them for their responsibility and for being a person.

As soon as Mu Chenxi left, those still reserved students immediately crowded forward, all wanting to see how his articles were, and even those who were friendly to him were also very curious.

Even Cheng Jinwen and Xiao Ruxi didn't care about the embarrassment, they squeezed forward and watched in front of the test paper, trying to find some mistakes for Mu Chenxi, who posted his own article regardless of face.

"Oh! Brother Mu is really good at calligraphy!"

Before appreciating the article, some people sighed: "Just because of this word, it is worth seeing when it is posted." As soon as the sentence "Guo, Huo, and Suo" came out, it immediately elicited various praises, and some people pointed to Jiang Haohai's revisions and comments. Criticism.

"Master, I already knew that Brother Mu is talented and has been teaching him with all his heart. I thought that my neglect in the past was because I looked down on Brother Mu!"

"Once this kind of article is published, who will not see it!"

Someone sneered: "Masters are all people of great love, how can they ignore people with talents and learning?"

Mu Chenxi's two articles caused a sensation in the entire court. No matter what people think about him, they have nothing to say now.

And what Mu Chenxi said just now, he didn't want to show it to others, it was understood that he didn't want to hit everyone, after all, he didn't take the imperial examination.

If the test papers are released to the public, it will immediately make people feel ashamed. Needless to say, what kind of blow will it have on those who expect the imperial examinations.

Qi Junfeng was startled when he saw Mu Chenxi's article. He thought he was as talented as others, but with Mu Chenxi, he couldn't make comparisons.

His grandfather was a great Confucianist. He was influenced by him since he was a child, and he was taught by a famous teacher. He can naturally see how Mu Chenxi's articles are written.

"Ugh!"

He turned his head to look at Cheng Jinwen, seeing that his face was as dark as ink, he couldn't help feeling a little disgusted with him, but because of his friendship, he still reminded him.

"Admit your mistakes! Show your heart and courage, don't lose your identity, you must know that you are not only losing your own face."

"Just admit defeat, why bother to apologize, he deserves it!"

Cheng Jinwen frowned: "He has this knowledge, why didn't he let people know earlier, and he still plays around like a child every day."

"What other people do has nothing to do with you, what you have to do is to be responsible for your own actions."

Seeing that he was still obsessed with obsession, Qi Junfeng said impatiently: "If you don't handle this matter well and show the attitude you should have, do you still want to be an official in the imperial examination?"

He pointed to the students who crowded around to read Mu Chenxi's article, "They are not all ordinary people, most of them are the children of high families or the families of wealthy families.

They came from all over the place, and they all came here for the great Confucian scholars like the Academy.When they go back in the future, won't they tell what happened today?

What will your reputation be then?What will your family's reputation be like?Don't ruin yourself in a fit of anger, let alone shame your family. "

Cheng Jinwen didn't say a word, he had a lot of resentment towards Mu Chenxi, a poor family slapped him in the face frequently, how could he swallow it.

"Don't cause a sensation in the academy, it's even worse for you."

Qi Junfeng's tone suddenly became more serious, "Which of the masters in the academy is not sharp-eyed, let them know that you are stubborn, you may be able to bear the consequences, so how will you explain to your family?"

"Brother Cheng."

At this time, Wang Qingquan came over suddenly, "You should apologize to Brother Mu for this matter."

He pointed to the article posted by Mu Chenxi and said, "Brother Mu is outstanding in learning and literary talent. This is obvious to all. You can't be provoked and humiliated by you just because you are a commoner."

"Ha ha."

Liu Wenqing sneered, and said, "Go outside and find out. If anyone knows that you have treated Brother Mu like this, just wait to be criticized by everyone."

"Our students here are all helped by Brother Mu, and even I was able to enter Class B because of his gift."

Liu Wenqing is a local and knows much more than them. "Brother Mu is kind and loving. He has always been generous to other students. He lends out his books and notes for everyone to study and exchange. He never refuses to ask for advice. One word."

He turned his head to look at the students around him, "No matter who it is, as long as our local students know, they will be punished, and everyone should know what the situation will be."

Of course these people know that most of the literati are stubborn, especially those common people and small households. If they lose their temper, they don't care who you are or what your status is, it is an unstoppable momentum.

"Go and apologize, it was your fault, why not admit it."

"That is, don't ruin the reputation of our academy because of your temporary actions."

"Hmph, it's not just the reputation of the academy, the reputation of us foreign students will also be implicated, and we will definitely be cast aside."

"That is, if something is attacked by local students and the reputation spreads, how can I face others in the future?"

"Still want to see people? We just don't even have the face to return to our family. We can't honor our ancestors, but we have a bad reputation. What face do we have in the world?"

These students went out to attack each other, and lost the image of the elegant gentleman in the past. In a blink of an eye, they turned into envoys of justice, attacking Cheng Jinwen and Xiao Ruxi together.

They looked at the scene in front of them, and their hearts were overwhelmed. They didn't expect that they would become public enemies one day, surrounded by everyone, and endured many accusations and disdain.

The saliva was almost sprayed on their faces. If it weren't for their noble status and embarrassment, someone should propose to drive them out of the academy at this moment.

…………

When Mu Chenxi came back from class at noon, he saw Cheng Jinwen and Xiao Ruxi lost their usual arrogance in dejection, surrounded by everyone like sinners being crushed, standing listlessly beside his seat.

"Brother Mu is here."

When Wang Qingquan saw him coming in, he immediately shouted, with joy in his tone, "Brother Cheng and Brother Xiao are waiting to apologize to you!"

He squeezed his eyes, and looked complacent, as if he had done something to be proud of, and his body was straight, as if he was waiting for Mu Chenxi to praise him.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Cheng Jinwen had no choice but to shoot. He closed his eyes and opened them, and gritted his teeth to apologize: "Brother Mu, we are wrong, please forgive me."

"Ah!"

Mu Chenxi raised his eyebrows and immediately understood what was going on. Seeing Cheng Jinwen's reluctance, he sneered in his heart.

"It's okay, we're all classmates in the same academy, if we know what's wrong, we can improve it a lot."

This is the last chance he gave them, and he will definitely not be so light-hearted next time. Necessary means must be used, and they should not be provoked and harassed again and again.

"However, I still want to remind Brother Cheng."

Mu Chenxi's expression was calm, "There are heaven and man outside the sky and there are people outside the sky. You must remember this sentence. And I'm not used to being provoked and bullied all the time. This is the last time."
