Three melons and two dates

No wonder Xie Huanxiu reacted so strongly.When he was admitted to Tongsheng, the Xie family held a three-day flowing water banquet. Not only the people from the East Village participated, but also many people from the neighboring township. Looking at the running water feast of the Xie family.

But for Xie Huanxiu, this is definitely the last part of the past that people don't want to mention.

That year, Xie Huanxiu, with big red flowers tied on his chest, accompanied Xie Jiu to welcome guests, and no matter whether the visitors knew Xie Huanxiu or not, they would praise him a few words when they came up.

Simple and direct, "This kid looks like he is destined to be a high-ranking official.",

"Hey, he looks clever, no wonder he is so promising at such a young age!"

Roughly, he came up and greeted Xie Huanxiu's small body with his big hand, "Good job! Our village will depend on you in the future!"

……

They were all from folks in the village, and the congratulatory speeches were not fancy, but they were solid.Xie Huanxiu was quite happy when he heard it at first, but as time went on, he felt that it was not the case. He praised him back and forth in just a few words, as if they had all set the words.

Later, Xie Huanxiu discovered that a large number of people didn't care how he did in the exam, and they didn't really come to congratulate him, but just said a few pleasant words and came to eat.

The running water table was set up for three days, and some people ate for three days, left when they were full, and went back when they were hungry, repeating what they said when they first came, and continued to eat until they were full.

At that time, I was young, although I felt uncomfortable, but I survived for three days. Now you let Xie Huanxiu stand in the yard with a big red flower on his chest to greet guests, it is absolutely impossible!

When Xie Jiu mentioned this, he got a little excited.

"It's fifteen today, everyone is celebrating the holidays, why not tomorrow."

"I think it's okay. Now is a good time. There are fruits and vegetables. Tomorrow, you can find someone to kill two big fat pigs. You don't need to buy anything now. I just don't know if it's easy to find a cook, after all, time is so urgent."

"It's okay, I'll look for it tomorrow, but I can't find one that is too famous, and I can't find any ordinary ones. Besides, how many people are as tricky as our Tianguan mouth, wine and meat are enough."

Li Cuicui thought for a while, then nodded back to Xie Jiu, "Yes."

Seeing that the matter of the running water table was settled like this, Xie Huanxiu was anxious, "What is there to do, it's not that you passed the exam to understand Yuan, and you can't afford to lose this person. Parents, can we make it?"

Xie Huanxiu tried to discuss with Xie Jiu and the others to dispel this idea.

"Nonsense, what's the shame, my son won the exam at a young age... He won the Juren, it's a matter of honoring the ancestors, so it's a shame." Xie Jiu thought about today from yesterday, but he remembered it. Xie Huanxiu passed the provincial examination , became Juren.

"That is to say, we have to do it, and we have to do it in a grand manner, so that everyone knows how powerful my son is."

Xie Huanxiu's face collapsed, and he muttered, "How amazing..."

Seeing him like this, Shuyan tried to comfort him, but ended up with the worst start.

"It's amazing. You see, Li Rao and the others are so much older than you, and they haven't dared to take the exam until now."

Hearing his words, Xie Huanxiu jumped up from the stool angrily, "When did I become so low that I have to compete with them!"

After finishing speaking, Shuyan also realized that he had said the wrong thing. Li Rao was simply Xie Huanxiu's rebel, how could he mention this, Shuyan was thinking about how to miss this topic, Li Cuicui opened his mouth to help him change the topic.

"Hey, by the way, Tianguan, why didn't you come back to see Master Ji this time?"

"Yeah, you haven't told Mrs. Ji the news that you passed the exam. Let's go meet Mrs. Ji after dinner, to make him happy, and invite him over by the way, so we can spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together at night."

If the master knows this result, he will be a ghost if he is happy, hey.

Xie Huanxiu sighed in his heart, even if he didn't dare to see his master anymore, he would always go to see him.Therefore, with the spirit of procrastinating as long as he can, Xie Huanxiu finally finished his lunch when there was nothing to eat.

But he wasn't ready to meet Ji Yuan's courage, looking at the books and inkstones busy picking up the table and washing the dishes, and remembering the comparison between himself and Li Rao and the others just now, Xie Huanxiu was furious and vicious Shang Shuyan pinched his body and said, "Follow me to see Master in a while!"

Enduring the pain, Shu Yan let out a "hiss" and agreed.

Shu Yan brought Xie Huanxiu to Jiyuan's house with the ceremony that Li Cuicui had prepared long ago.

Xie Huanxiu, who was still unwilling to accept his fate, hid back and asked Shuyan to knock on the door. Shuyan compared to him the full of etiquettes in his hands, but he couldn't knock on the door at all.

Xie Huanxiu glared at Shuyan, took two steps forward and knocked on the door twice, when he heard Ji Yuan asking who it was again, he hurriedly backed down and motioned for Shuyan to answer.

"Master, I'm Shuyan. Uncle and Aunt asked me to bring you a gift."

After a while, Ji Yuan came out and opened the door for Shuyan, and he looked coldly at Xie Huanxiu.

Just as Xie Huanxiu was about to go up to say hello, Ji Yuan directly avoided him and said to Shu Yan, "Come in".

Xie Huanxiu, who finally had some courage, was completely let go of his anger, followed Shu Yan dejectedly, and followed Ji Yuan into the house.

Shu Yan automatically and consciously greeted Ji Yuan, and helped Ji Yuan organize and arrange the rituals he brought, leaving the master and apprentice to talk in the study.

"The results of the township examination are out?"

"Ah."

"How many exams did you take?"

"Number...seventh."

"Oh. Xie Huanxiu, do you still remember what I said before you left last time?"

Xie Huanxiu knelt down in front of Xie Huanxiu with a plop.

"Master, the heavenly official is wrong. I shouldn't waste my studies and embarrass you. Please forgive me for once, and I will definitely come back with good grades in the exam!"

Ji Yuan smiled lightly, "My face is on my face, why have I ever been thrown by you. You will do well in the exam, and it has nothing to do with me if you don't do well."

Seeing Ji Yuan's coldness, Xie Huanxiu couldn't hold back his tears any longer, and fell to the ground without saying a word, and refused to get up.

"Anyway, he's a juren, but he's like a child with a yellow mouth, crying whenever he wants, so shameless."

Xie Huanxiu sobbed, and replied, "Master is right, but I just can't help it. The students also know that they have been a little ridiculous these past few years, and they have wasted years of master's teaching. But the exams have been passed, and the waste is wasteful. It's too late to say anything now, students can't let time turn back and start over."

Xie Huanxiu, whose tears were still dripping down, sniffled and continued:

"The Master said, 'There is no discrimination in teaching', and the ancients said, 'Who has no faults? There is nothing good about it if you can correct your faults'. The students already know their mistakes. How can the master give up the students just because the students have made mistakes."

His words made Ji Yuan's throat choke. What he said, if he stopped letting Xie Huanxiu call him his wife, it would be his fault instead.

Brazen.

Ji Yuan can feel it, when Li Rao was refuted by Xie Huanxiu face to face, Tan Xian was also Tan Master, when he wrote a letter to Xie Huanxiu, he commented, "Although this son has made no progress in his studies, he has regressed. Fortunately, The face has increased dramatically, and he has the official style at the beginning, and he should be carefully trained and taught, and he should not make the same mistakes as you and me."

Xie Huanxiu's thick skin is really more than a little bit thicker. Lushan is really a good place to be discharged from the hospital.

"So, it's the teacher's fault."

Xie Huanxiu moved his ears, and immediately raised his head, looking at Ji Yuan.Although he still looked cold, but since he was willing to call him "Master", wouldn't that mean that he forgave himself.Xie Huanxiu was overjoyed, and quickly wiped the tears off his face, then kowtowed, "Everything is the student's fault, so you are worried."

"However, master, don't worry, the students will definitely study hard in the future!" After speaking, he raised his head and smiled brightly at Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan Fu's forehead, even if he has the best skin, he is crying and laughing at the same time.

Xie Huanxiu, who had hot eyes and didn't know it, smiled and took two steps forward, "Master, come home with me for the holidays."

Ji Yuan quietly dodged back, "No!"

"Ah, why?"

"No face to go."

Oh.

Xie Huanxiu's back, which was originally straight, bent down again.

The so-called faceless in Ji Yuan's mouth means that his grades are so poor that he has no face to meet his parents.

"It's the student's fault. In the future, the student will never do anything wrong with the master. You and the student go back. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Ji Yuan has been in the East Village alone for more than ten years, and he has never seen any of his family and friends come to visit him, let alone anyone he went out to visit. Since Xie Huanxiu became a teacher, he has spent every year and festival at Xie's house.Xie Huanxiu specially emphasized that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day of family reunion, he does not want Ji Yuan to celebrate the festival alone.

but……

"Well, on August [-]th, the moon is full. You can go home."

"Master..."

Looking at Ji Yuan standing by the window and looking into the distance, Xie Huanxiu didn't know what to say to change his mind.

After arranging the books and inkstones one by one, he didn't seem to notice the strange atmosphere between the kneeling and standing one by one, "Master, I have arranged all the things according to your habits. Let's go back to celebrate the festival together."

"No, you guys go back."

"Uncle and Aunt are waiting for you at home."

Ji Yuan turned his head and said the same words, "I have no face to see them." The difference is that when he said this to Shuyan, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Can……"

Shu Yan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ji Yuan.

"Go back quickly, the family must be very busy, and there are many places that need you."

Shu Yan thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, let's go back first, if you still decide not to come, I will come over and deliver food to you, although we are not in the same place, but they are all the same. "

The ends of the world are like neighbors...

"Okay." Ji Yuan agreed with a smile.

Shuyan returned to Jiyuan with a smile, then walked over to help Xie Huanxiu get up.

Xie Huanxiu wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth slowly, but couldn't make any sound. When he walked to the door, he let go of Shuyan's hand, and knelt down again.

He kowtowed three times towards Jiyuan, got up, and left.

The sentence he never said was, "Master, I'm sorry."

When they returned to Xie's house, Xie Jiu looked outside the door, but did not see Ji Yuan, and asked both of them, "Where is Master Ji?"

Xie Huanxiu was struggling with how to answer Xie Jiu's words, but Shu Yan preempted him.

"The master said, he has no face to come."
