Chapter 103 Ye Ansong failed the exam

Jiang Zhu lazily sat on the bullock cart, looking at this heartwarming scene, his peach blossom eyes narrowed.

　　From this angle, you can see Ye Anyian's angular profile, thin and straight nose, long and slightly raised eyelashes, clear and clean eyes, and gently curved lips.

　　The warm red sunset hit his face and body, coating his whole body with a soft halo, weakening his original cold temperament a lot.

　　Jiang Zhu stared at it for a while and then breathed a sigh of relief.

　　It's also his fault that he has been away from home for many years and has neither money nor power. Otherwise, it would never be the Wen family's turn to cooperate with his family every year.

　　While he was lost in thought, two slender fingers flashed before his eyes.

　　"Why are you dazed? Let's go." Ye Anyian said.

　　"Let's go." Jiang Zhu stretched, got off the ox cart, and helped Ye Anyian move the wooden cart onto the ox cart.

　　The two sat side by side in front, swaying their legs and swinging their whips, and left West Street leisurely.

　　In the evening in Tianshui Town, pedestrians were busy. Two people were riding an ox cart through the streets, and they passed by Hung Fook Academy unknowingly.

　　Far away, I saw a group of people gathered in front of the sign at the entrance of the academy, all looking like scholars in blue shirts.

　　It seems that they are all here to see the results.

　　Ye Annian and Jiang Zhu were not paying attention, but they suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, it was Ye Ansong.

　　I heard a fat scholar standing next to Ye Ansong say: "There are only ten people on this list. Six of us from Hongfu Academy account for it, but there is not even one named Ye. I don't think you need to look any further, Brother Ye." "

　　Ye Ansong was unwilling to accept it: "Impossible! I will never fail!"

　　"I know you've been working very hard during this period, but if you miss, you just miss. It's useless even if you find a hole in this list!"

　　"No, there must be a mistake somewhere!" Ye Ansong clenched his fists fiercely, "I'm going to find the mountain chief to find out!"

　　After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave, but he bumped into Wen Heng who was strutting out of the academy with his servants.

　　Wen Heng put his hands behind his back and blocked his face like an uncle, saying "Tsk, tsk" twice: "Hey, isn't this the great talent Ye? What? Did you miss? "

　　"Didn't you swear before that you would definitely win? Tsk tsk tsk..."

　　"Second Young Master," a servant who was following Wen Heng came up to him and whispered in a low voice, "It's a solemn oath, not a big oath."

　　"Tch," Wen Heng glanced at him impatiently, "Do you want to talk more?!"

　　The servant fell silent, but Ye Ansong's face turned green and red, looking very good-looking.

Ye Anyian and Jiang Zhu watched the excitement with great interest. In addition, Ye Anyian still had something to talk to Wen Heng, so Jiang Zhu drove the oxcart to the roadside. Under the cover of the big tree on the roadside, the two Watch the show with peace of mind.

　　Ye Ansong, who was surrounded by a group of people, had a sinister look in his eyes, and he smiled and said: "Second Young Master Wen is quite leisurely today. All the young companions around him have left, and he has not found anyone new? "

　　His words were clearly poking Wen Heng's wounds. Ye Annian caught a glimpse of Wen Heng's expression changing and felt bad. This silly young master was afraid that he was about to fall into Ye Ansong's trap.

　　Just as he was hesitating whether to intervene in this matter, Jiang Zhu patted him on the shoulder and winked at him. Then he got off the bullock cart, ignoring the scholars who were watching the excitement, and went straight into Hongfu Academy. .

　　But here, Wen Heng frowned and said to the four servants following him: "Hit me!"

　　The four servants looked at each other, not wanting to rush forward.

　　This is at the entrance of the academy, and there are so many people around. If there is a conflict, someone will definitely go in and tip off Feng Mingxu, and they will definitely be the losers.

　　The servant who had just reminded Wen Heng of using the wrong words boldly stepped forward to try to persuade him, but was given a hard look by Wen Heng.

"Why are you standing there in a daze? I raised you all in vain? Come on!"

　　The four people had no choice but to rush forward, and saw that the sandbag-sized fist was about to hit Ye Ansong's face.

　　At this moment, Feng Mingxu walked out of the academy with a dark face, and Jiang Zhu followed him with a smile.

　　"What are you all doing here?"

　　Feng Mingxu was always serious and calm in front of students. He was not much older than the students and was always afraid that he would not be able to impress them.

　　As soon as he appeared at this time, the tense atmosphere on both sides was immediately broken.

　　Na Wen Heng was like a mouse seeing a cat, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Shan, Chief Shan, we are not making trouble, we are just watching the rankings here."

　　Feng Mingxu ignored him, but looked sharply at his and Ye Ansong's faces several times.

　　Then he flicked his sleeves and said: "It's getting late. You should go home as soon as you finish reading. Those who won will go back and have a good rest. Those who didn't won will have a long road ahead. If you don't go home to study, you still have the time to watch the excitement here. !"

　　As soon as he said these words, all the scholars became like birds and beasts and dispersed.

　　Wen Heng was unwilling, but because Feng Mingxu was there, he didn't dare to do anything else. He bowed to Feng Mingxu and was about to leave with his servants. Jiang Zhu stepped forward and said to him: "Young Master Wen, please come with me." One trip."

　　When he said this, Wen Heng immediately knew that Ye Anyian was looking for him for something. The anger in his heart calmed down a lot, and he took his servants and left with Jiang Zhu.

　　Ye Ansong looked at the two people leaving with a cold look in his eyes.

　　While he was lost in thought, he heard Feng Mingxu's displeased voice: "Why don't you leave?"

　　Ye Ansong retracted his thoughts, the coldness in his eyes dissipated, and saluted Feng Mingxu: "Mountain Chief."

　　When he looked up again, he already had a respectful expression: "About this college examination, the student has something to say to the principal alone."

　　"Let's talk in the academy." Feng Mingxu showed no emotion or anger on his face, and took the lead in walking into the academy with his hands behind his back.

　　On the other side, Jiang Zhu took Wen Heng to the big tree where the bullock cart was parked.

　　When Ye Anyian saw the two people coming back, he asked, "Is the matter resolved?"

　　Jiang Zhu nodded.

　　Wen Heng was still a little unhappy: "Mr. Jiang, why did you just come to find the mountain chief? Look at Ye Ansong's behavior. It's hard for me not to beat him to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"

　　Jiang Zhu smiled so hard that his eyebrows were crooked, and his eyes looked like he was looking at a fool: "You beat him up, and then what? Sooner or later, Feng Mingxu will know if things get serious, and you will be the one who is wronged, and you will definitely not be able to escape being punished by the academy. I'm afraid your father will give you a beating later."

"Uh..." Wen Heng was stunned, "Hey, it seems to make sense!"

　　Ye Annian was speechless. When Wen Heng came to his senses, he told him about the shop on West Street: "I have chosen the shop. However, I'm afraid I have to trouble Mr. Wen to rent the shop. "

　　Knowing that Wen Heng was stubborn, Ye Annian did not reveal the relationship between him and the Zhou family. He only asked him to come forward and rent a shop that was being rented from West Street for one year in Zhou Zaiqian's hands.

　　When the time comes, if Zhou Zaiqian really comes to trouble him, he will say that the shop is owned by the Wen family and he is just a part-time worker.

　　With the Wen family's status in Tianshui Town, Zhou Zaiqian would not dare to do anything to him, even for Master Wen's sake.

　　"This matter is easy to handle." Wen Heng agreed readily.

　　Ye Annian gave Wen Heng the one hundred taels of silver note that Mr. Wen had given him before.

　　He also warned: "Just rent a room, don't spend the rest, bring it back to me."

　　"I know, I know, just rest assured."

　　After Wen Heng made his promise, he took his servants and left.

　　Ye Annian looked at his careless back and felt very tired: "Why does it look like you have raised a stupid son?"

　　Jiang Zhu put her hand around his waist, raised her arm, and easily carried him onto the bullock cart: "It's good to be a son. The Wen family is so rich, so a big boy like you must be filial."

　　Ye Anyian:...

　　This person has no integrity!

　　The two of them drove the bullock cart back to the village leisurely, but Ye Ansong on the other side was anxious.

　　He didn't know what went wrong. The Anxing County Magistrate had obviously agreed that he would be given a place in the examination this time. Why did he still fail in the end?

　　He followed Feng Mingxu into the academy, looking very anxious and sad because he had failed the exam.

　　"Shan Zhang, I really think I answered well this time. There must be something wrong."

　　"I just want to take a look at my paper again, Chief, please help me! I really paid attention this time! Chief!"

　　He spoke sincerely, and he was also good at pretending in the academy. Feng Mingxu frowned for a long time, but finally compromised.

　　"Okay. I'm going to Anxing County in a few days. Then I'll inform you of Fangzhi County and arrange an opportunity for you to take a look at the paper."

　　"Okay!" Ye Ansong looked like he was crying with joy, and even raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, "Thank you, Master, for your help!"

　　"Students will give up after taking one more look at the answer sheet. No matter whether they get the answer or not, they will definitely study hard in the future and live up to the teacher's help today."

　　Ye Ansong made all his gestures, but Feng Mingxu still looked serious and distant, saying only: "You are doing your best to learn for yourself, and it has nothing to do with me."

　　After saying that, he stepped out of the door of Qinji Hall.

　　Ye Ansong looked at his leaving back, gritted his teeth, and clenched the fists hanging in his sleeves.

If he wasn't afraid of arousing suspicion, he wouldn't beg Feng Mingxu.

　　If the Fang Magistrate later arranges a place for him, it will save people from saying that he was found by someone else. It can just solidify his image of taking exams seriously and having faith in himself, and maybe he can be called that person. Feng Mingxu looked at him high.

　　In fact, he had always disliked Feng Mingxu's behavior. He was only a few years older than these students, but he always put on airs, thinking that it would be great to pass the examination.

When he is selected as a scholar, he will go to Anxing County to study. He will not be willing to stay in this small shabby academy and watch Feng Mingxu's face all day long.

　　…

　　After Ye Annian and Jiang Zhu went back, they made a detailed list of the items that needed to be purchased for the decoration of the shop, as well as the list of hiring craftsmen and other related matters. After a rough calculation, they found that they would need about twenty taels of silver, which was quite a lot. Within his plan.

　　Because Wen Heng needed time to find Zhou Zaigan to rent a shop, the two of them did not go to the town again the next day, and led the cattle to Wangyue Mountain early in the morning.

　　The cowshed has begun to take shape. Just cut some grass, dry it and spread it on the top, and it's done. Jiang Zhu plans to use the afternoon to finish building the cowshed.

　　The two of them got up early, and when they left, Fu Zai and Ding Qiu were still awake. They put the morning food in a pot for the two children to warm, and then led the cow up the mountain.

　　Taking advantage of this opportunity to go up the mountain, Ye Annian brought the sachets he had made with catmint before. He and Jiang Zhu each wore one on their waists.

　　What if he could meet that little lynx? So many things happened during this period that he really wanted to pet the cat.
