He is tall and big

After returning to Ran's house, Ran's mother was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered people to wait for the young master to wash away the dust all the way.

When Ran Jiqiu came back after changing his clothes, Ran's mother had already ordered someone to prepare a meal, and when she saw him come in, she asked her to sit next to her.

Fang Shi stood aside with Bu Cai.

After dinner, Ran's mother left her son with a cup of tea, and said: "Go out and miss your homework for a few days, you should work harder, go back, go back and read the books, and then Master will take the exam, so as not to lose face."

Ran Jiqiu responded respectfully, stood up neatly and saluted, and left.

Back in the outer courtyard, the study room was already lit.Ran Jiqiu knew that Ran's mother must have ordered it.

He stopped and looked back in the direction of the main courtyard. After a while, he walked towards the study.

San Rui was already waiting in the study.Seeing that the weather was getting cooler today, but there were not a few mosquitoes, he lit the incense early and put down the gauze curtains so that no more mosquitoes would fly in.

Ran Jiqiu took out "The Analects of Confucius" from the bookshelf, flipped through a few pages, and suddenly asked, "Where did the fish soup that was sent earlier go?"

San Rui, who was fanning him slowly, asked quickly, "It's still warming on the stove, do you want to use it, young master?"

Ran Jiqiu said "Oh" without raising his head, "Send it to Liu Ying."

San Rui's fan stopped slowly, and he reluctantly responded, after a pause, he couldn't help but said sourly: "Master, you are so kind to Liu Ying."

Ran Jiqiu smiled, "Go ahead, tell him that the young master owed him first, and now he has settled the bill." Then, he ignored Sanrui and settled down to study.

Silent all night.

When Ran Jiqiu woke up, he heard the patter of rain outside.

Now that I have returned, I will go to the academy to study.After breakfast, Ran Jiqiu hurriedly boarded the carriage and rushed to the academy. Along the way, he was still silently reviewing the books he had memorized earlier, so as not to forget them for a long time.

The master Li who taught him used to be a juren, and he was quite strict with his students. If he couldn't write an article, he would serve him with a ruler.

Because of Ran Jiqiu's elder brother, Master Li favored him quite a lot. He taught with extra care and strictness.

It was because Ran Jiqiu passed the examination as a scholar at a young age that he was able to get permission from Mrs. Li to take a few days off.

All the way to the academy, Ran Jiqiu first went to see the master.

Although Master Li is a bit strict in his studies, he never hides his secrets when teaching him, so his attendant has always been respectful, and he specially brought Master Li tea from Qingfeng Temple—this is made by the monks in the temple. The frying method is a bit rough, but the taste is not bad. Because it is made with medicine, it also has the effect of relieving fire and heat. It is a gift that suits Mr. Li's heart with a few snacks.

Master Li didn't calm down a little because he prepared the ceremony, he just let him stand and began to test his homework.

Ran Jiqiu answered one by one, and then Master Li's brows relaxed, and he asked people to accept the gift from the students.He also took a few sentences from the Four Books and asked him to break them down one by one, "These questions are not difficult, hand in your homework before noon, and I'll tell you about 'Continuing Questions'."

Ran Jiqiu naturally should be, write down his homework and go back to figure it out.

He has already passed the examination of scholar, and he has memorized all the classics. What he needs to learn now is the art of stereotyped writing. Only by writing well can he pass the examination.

It was still raining outside, and Ran Jiqiu was thinking about his homework, so he didn't pay attention to his feet slipping. Fortunately, Liu Ying, who was following behind with an umbrella, reached out to grab his waist in time to prevent him from falling on his back.

"..." Ran Jiqiu turned his head and glanced at Liu Ying, he broke free from his arm and stood still, and then continued to move forward after gathering his composure.

Liu Ying's eyes flickered slightly, and she followed him step by step with her umbrella in hand.

When they arrived at the school, Liu Ying put away the umbrella, and Ran Jiqiu looked down at the rainwater dripping from the tip of the umbrella, and said, "There are five blessings here, and there is nothing wrong with you, so you can go home first."

Liu Ying's throat twitched and was about to speak when Ran Jiqiu took out a small packet of pine nut candy from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into his hand, then turned and entered the dorm.

Liu Ying stared at his back for a while, then looked down at the pine nut candy in her hand, the corners of her lips were drawn into a straight line.He turned his head and looked, because it was raining, all the children in the school dormitory were huddled in the tea room next door at the moment, joking, fighting insects, or guessing fist games in twos and threes, it was very lively.

Liu Ying walked over with her umbrella in hand, without saying a word, her tall body stood up in front of the seat, the book boy who was nibbling melon seeds and laughing at others glanced at him, and sneaked to the side to stand obediently.

He sat down with a big horse, closed his eyes and fell asleep, the umbrella dripping with rain was leaning against his knees, and he still held the bag of pine nuts in his hand.

He is tall and tall, and he is particularly conspicuous among the group of book boys. In addition, he looks fierce, and some people have secretly looked at him without a glance. After entering the tea room, all the school boys unconsciously kept their voices silent, and they were quiet for a while.

After a while, seeing that he had no other movements, the crowd began to laugh and fight again, but their movements were much more restrained.

When Wu Fu came over when he was free, he saw Liu Ying at a glance.He walked over and asked in a low voice, "Liu Ying, did you offend the young master?"

Liu Ying slightly tightened the hand holding Pine Nut Tang.He opened his eyes, but didn't speak, his brows furrowed.

Wu Fu knew what was going on as soon as he saw him like this, and he clicked his tongue, "You really have a bad temper... how can the young master treat you badly, and you still make him angry?" He couldn't help but become sour, "The young master who has something delicious is thinking of you, and he is giving fruit and fish soup. You can be content. If you change to another master, you can't let you play your temper. You have already been beaten and kicked out !"

Liu Ying was still silent, and after a while, Fang Shen replied.Seeing him like this, Wu Fu shook his head, stopped meddling in his own business, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly heard Liu Ying say, "I didn't eat the fish soup."

Wu Fu turned to look at him.

The expression on Liu Ying's face seemed to be a little anxious. He grabbed the pine nut candy and squeezed it in the palm of his hand.

Wu Fu said: "If you don't eat, you don't remember the young master's love?" He asked, "Liu Ying, are you such a white-eyed wolf?"

Liu Ying met his sharp gaze, and a tiny light gradually gathered in his eyes.

"Should I give him what the young master wants?" He asked, "Even if it's wrong?"

Wu Fu frowned and said, "Whether it's right or not, how do you know as a servant? Even if it's wrong, the old lady and sir will discipline you, so it's your turn to worry about it."

Liu Ying stopped talking.

He has no relatives, no reason, a widow, and a thick-skinned and rough skin. He is not afraid of doing wrong things at any time, and he is not afraid of being ridiculed.

But the young master is different.

The young master has relatives, fame, and a bright future.His young master should be named on the gold list, admired by thousands of people, and he will have a beautiful wife and concubines in the future, with children and grandchildren around his knees. How can he hang out with someone like him? reputation.
