Hypocrites

On the third day after returning to Ruyang, Shen Jin woke up from the dream before dawn, turned over and sat up: "It's too late! Is it too late for the school lecture?"

Shen's mother was sleeping soundly, when he woke up suddenly, the sky was still dark at that time.

"What's the matter? When did you go to the school so early? Can't sleep?"

Only then did Shen Jin come back to her senses: "Oh, His Royal Highness has misled my schedule and slept late all day long..."

Now that he was awake, Shen Jin put on his clothes and prepared to go to school early, soon he will be appointed as the county magistrate, and he will not be able to teach for a few days.Before leaving, the chicken was still dozing off in the shed, Shen Jin went to wake up his son, and said triumphantly to his wife: "I, a father, will not talk too much in so many years, today I will have a good time."

However, when he knocked on the door of Shen Yu's room, he saw that the sitting screen had been put away, the bed was neatly folded, and he had already left.

Shen Jin touched the back of her head inexplicably, feeling very disappointed.

In Anjingfang in the early morning, the gate of the workshop is just opened, and the first ray of morning light melts away the cumulus clouds.

It rained lightly last night, and the bluestone slabs were wet, and mirror-like water was gathered on the ground of the academy.

Shen Yu came to the academy early in the morning, did a little cleaning, and was practicing a set of basic skills for stretching his muscles and bones in the open area.This is what I learned from the ranger master in Mujihe. After returning to Ruyang, the old living habits came to life bit by bit.

The morning light is faint and the air is refreshing.The leaf tips of the banyan tree dripped dangerously in the breeze.

Shen Yu groaned for a week, raised his breath, and heard conversations from early risers outside the academy——

"It's too early, and my mother will find it strange. I've never gotten up so early to study before."

"It's getting late, my parents are getting ready to go out. As soon as the door of the workshop opens, my family will have to carry salted fish to Dongshi. It's late and there will be no good seats."

"Why do you act like a thief...I have wronged you, you wait for me for two years, and when I finish my studies and become a teacher, and seek an official position, I will definitely come to propose marriage!"

"It's not as easy as you said. Common people like us don't even dare to think about being next to officials."

"You believe me! My teacher, you know, but the famous Shen Gong, now he is the sheriff of Ruyang, and he will definitely support me in the future!"

Shen Yu flipped his wrist indifferently, made a gesture of embracing the moon, pretending not to hear.

The two people outside the door said again:

"Relying on your own teacher is not a person with ambition. If you are like this, I will look down on you."

"Oh, Yingying, listen to me—"

"Hush!...It's my parents, they are going out, I have to go back!"

"Wait, wait, Yingying..."

It was quiet outside the academy, but the neighbors were bustling with each other. Rooster crowing scrambled to announce the dawn. Those who rushed to the morning market opened their doors, pushing carts and carrying baskets, and there were many footsteps in the alley.

"Yingying, let's go!"

The girl responded.

After Shen Yu practiced a set, his back was sweating, and he heard the person outside the door muttering: "Oh, this is shameful, do I feel better? Forget it, it's better to carry some people on your back right now."

Shen Yu: "..."

The man pushed open the gate of the academy, stepped in, and bumped into Shen Yu head-on.

Zhou Yu: "..."

The birds in the yard also woke up, flew out for a walk in the morning, and sprayed a string of shit between the two of them.

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Brother Yu, it seems that today either you die or I live."

Shen Yu stretched out his hand and directed him to look up - there was a person sitting on the eaves of the courtyard wall with his feet up, looking like he was enjoying the show, and he had been eavesdropping for some time.If not Chen Hui, who else?

Now Zhou Yu couldn't say a word, he held on to the door frame, took off his boots in pain, threw Shen Yu with one hand, and smashed Chen Hui down with the other.

"Too unkind!" Zhou Yu was trembling with anger, "Eavesdropping on other people's speech, I don't have brothers like you!"

Chen Hui couldn't dodge, and was knocked off the wall by Zhou Yu's boots. With a red mark on his face, he said innocently, "Who eavesdropped? You spoke openly at the gate of the academy, and I listened openly too. Right, Brother Yu, you also fight openly and aboveboard. Everyone does their own thing, who is as overbearing as you, Mr. Zhou?"

When he mentioned Shen Yu, Zhou Hao remembered what he had said not long ago that he needed to be supported by his teacher. He suddenly felt ashamed and burst into tears with shame: "Brother Yu, don't worry about what I said, I can't help it!"

The three of them sat in a row under the banyan tree, and Shen Yu's head got dizzy from Zhou Yu's crying. After listening to Chen Hui's detailed explanation, he realized that the girl named Yingying was the daughter of the salted fish dealer opposite the academy. Age, and Zhou Yu saw each other right, and they were very good.

"But, you understand," Chen Hui said regretfully, "Zhou Yu's family is extremely poor, and they can't afford a dowry, and they can't even compare to a salted fish vendor. At least they can eat fish. Which parents can marry their daughters?" Give such a person a hard life?"

These words hit Zhou Yu's heart, and he couldn't help crying again, pushing Chen Hui and kicking him: "Get out! You bastard! You know all about Yingying and me, and why don't you give up?" Say you didn't eavesdrop!"

Chen Hui said: "Okay, okay, I was the one who eavesdropped, not only did I eavesdrop, I also peeked at your tryst—come on, put on your boots first, your grandpa stinks if you haven't washed your feet for a few days."

After dawn, the students came one after another.While wiping away the snot and tears with Chen Hui's sleeve, Zhou Yu forced the two to swear that if they tell the story of today, they will never meet the girl they like in their lifetime.Seeing that he was already in such pain, Shen Yu and Chen Hui both gave in.

Today's lecturer is Shen Jin. The students have not seen Mr. for a long time, and they all feel cordial and excited.Even the awkward Yan Ran and Mu Jihe were present, only Song Jun, who was the big brother, did not come.He joined the teacher much earlier than all the students, and now he is Shen Jin's right-hand man, helping with the preparations for the Sheriff's Mansion.

There are many differences between giving lectures to the students in the school and giving lectures to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.After all, he was a disciple brought out by himself, and Shen Jin knew every ambition in his chest. He taught Liang Heng the emperor's style, and he taught the disciples the way of a minister.

"The old master said: 'If you are a man, is it like soil? If you plant it, the five grains will grow; if you dig it, the sweet spring will come out. The grass and trees will be planted, and the animals will be raised. I don't want to talk about it. Dao also.' Today, I will write an essay on this topic, and I can leave school after finishing."

Grinding that students grind, laying paper that lays paper.

It wasn't until Chen Hui picked up the pen that he realized that it was bald. He was about to ask someone to borrow it, but before the word "hey" came out of his throat, he had already been kicked by Zhou Yu, who was in a hurry.

Zhou Yu's eyes were about to split, his eyes were piercing and he was always watching Chen Hui and Shen Yu, the pressure was so strong that they both rolled their eyes together.

On the other side, Mu Jihe was also always restless, muttering to himself, "Yan'er, quickly turn around to see if my inkstone is infested with worms? I haven't been here for a few days, why is my pen also mothed?" , and after a while it was "Yan'er, are you short of paper? Good paper is expensive, and my brother bought a lot, you just take it if you want."

Lian Fan, who was serious about solving the problem, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "If you don't want to study, get out, don't come in the way!"

Xu Xu's voice was gone.

Under the deterrence of Lian Fan, the scholars lay down their desks and wrote books.

After a while, Mu Jihe said: "Yan'er, there is a bug on your back, don't move, brother will catch it for you."

Now someone finally paid attention to him, but it wasn't Yan Ran.

"Mujihe, are you just slipping away after finishing the article? How many days have you been truant from school, and you behave like this when you come here, and they still let you be the seventh son of the Shen family, do you deserve it? Why don't you be more sensible and let me .”

Many people stopped writing, ready to watch a good show, and Chen Hui even peeled the peanuts hidden in his sleeve pocket.They are all vigorous young people, and they have a lot of friction with each other.

"It's finished." Mu Jihe twisted the ink-covered paper with two fingers, huffed and said, "Who is waiting for you?"

The study suddenly fell into silence.

The scholars concentrate on writing and writing quickly, but it is only the beginning. Mu Jihe has written more than several times while talking to others.It's really speechless.

Mu Jihe smiled maliciously: "Why, do you want to learn from it? That's not okay, as a classmate, I have to be responsible for your study."

He went to provoke Yan Ran again: "Yan'er, do you want to see it? Brother will show you everything."

Yan Ran didn't give him a single look, with an indifferent look on his face, he put down the pen holder, the three pages were filled to the brim, and it was already finished, he left the study with the article in hand to find Shen Jin's face-to-face review.

Mu Jihe scratched his forehead, and was comforted by Chen Hui with a peanut.

In the end, this article discussing courtiers' behavior was the most prudent of Shen Yu's.What he said in his article, seeking relatives without face praise, sexual intercourse through displeasure, Kuangjun's faults inside, and the beauty of the monarch outside, is exactly the experience I got from reading with the Chu Palace.

Among the middle school students, only Shen Yu had such an experience.

"Do it according to your own ideas," Shen Jin said, "You have already realized the way to live in the world."

Shen Yu received the article, walked carelessly along the corridor of the academy, and unknowingly walked to the foot of the wall in the backyard, which was shaded by elms and willows.

He sat under the willow tree, unfolded the paper again, and slowly read between the lines in the scattered sunlight among the willow branches.

It was full of Liang Heng's shadow.

There is always a banquet in the world, and everyone understands this truth, but Shen Yu thought, at least it shouldn't be so unpleasant.When Liang Heng was most afraid, perhaps it would be a better choice to have him by his side.

What if Liang Heng hated him from now on?

Even though it was a rabbit—Shen Yu recalled the first time he taught Liang Heng a lesson and got glared at by him—it was a rabbit that could only bite.

Across the wall, someone's voice suddenly entered Shen Yu's ears amidst the chirping of Ji Xia's insects.

"You are like this, who will be happy? It will make everyone learn badly!"

"I'm happy, I'm so happy. Yan'er, take care of me, I'm lonely too."

"Let me tell you, if I do this again, I'll go home and not go to school! One day with you, without me!"

On the other side of the wall is a desolate house. In the past, students often climbed over the wall, whether they were playing or doing some secret things.Shen Yu was as big as two, and couldn't help recalling whether he had seen the almanac before going out, why did he always encounter things that he shouldn't have encountered today?
