Chapter 21: The Scholar Duke Digging Ditches With Mud Legs
Ma Su was still immersed in his own world, and he even found a trick to save effort. Once the hoe went down, the soil would be dug up obediently.
"Which one is Mr. Ma?"
In addition to the yamen servants, there were also a few idlers who came to announce the good news. They were the ones who set off the firecrackers just now.
Seeing that Ma Su was still digging the canal, Fang Jielun hurried forward and said in a low voice, "Little Ma, oh no, you are a scholar, hurry up and receive the good news!"
He is Masu?
The few people who announced the good news were stunned. This nima scholar is actually digging a ditch with a bunch of mud legs. Who will believe it when it is told!
Zhang Shuhui, who heard the sound of firecrackers in the deep house, stood up gracefully, and said to Mrs. Liu, "Sister-in-law, congratulations."
Sitting there dumbfounded, Mrs. Liu muttered to herself, "Did you really hit it? Could it be the one next door?"
"Fuck! The firecrackers are so loud, how can I go fishing!"
Fang Xing handed the fishing rod to Old Seventh Xin, and Shi Shi ran to the front.
When Fang woke up, Ma Su just woke up, and he announced the happy news, the muscles on his face were trembling.
A child in his teens seems to be told by someone: You are lucky! He actually got admitted to a Fortune 500 company, and once he went there, he was guaranteed a permanent job with a lot of privileges.
"Ahem!"
Just as Ma Su was looking at the happy news and holding back his grief and joy, Fang Xing let out a dry cough, and he immediately bowed and said, "Teacher, thanks to the kindness of our ancestors, relying on the teacher's earnest teachings, this disciple is lucky enough to succeed. "
Those who announced the good news knew Fang Xing's identity.
This guy looks like a country idler, but he is the teacher of Mr. Xiucai?
Fang Xing waved to Fang Jielun, and waited for him to step forward and said: "Take out the wedding money you prepared, and take them to the main house."
Only then did Fang Jielun think about the business, he took off the money bag tied around his waist, and each of them gave a large amount of happy money without caring, making those who announced the good news very happy.
If you go to announce the good news these days, the rich will of course send reward money, but seeing how Ma Su still needs to dig a ditch in the days when he is on the list, they have all lost hope of getting money just now.
But the teacher of Xiucaigong gave them a surprise, and he was actually quite generous.
Fang Xing patted Ma Su on the shoulder and said, "Go, take them to announce the good news to your mother."
Ma Su wiped his eyes, hummed, and walked towards the main house first.
Fang Xing turned around and said to the announcers: "I'm sorry to bother you, please have a glass of wedding wine after we're done."
"Don't dare, dare not."
These guys dare not underestimate Fang Xing. To be the teacher of Mr. Xiucai, that identity is almost ready to be revealed.
"housekeeper."
"Master."
Fang Xing looked at the various expressions on the faces of those farmers, and said calmly: "You work hard, today the village has a running water mat, and every household wants to come."
"Yes, master."
Fang Jielun knew that his young master couldn't be persuaded, so he simply agreed, and then went to discuss with Hua Niang how to do it.
After everyone left, Fang Xing looked at the envious farmers, and couldn't say that sentence again.
These people are all slaves, and getting out of their nationality would be a bolt from the blue, otherwise Fang Xing really wanted to help a class and let those children come to study.
But although I can't study the Four Books and Five Classics, I can still learn some things...
"Everyone go home and ask someone to go. Today, the whole family will come to eat, from morning till night!"
Fang Xing's words made the farmers overjoyed, they forgot about the envy they had for Ma Su just now, they just remembered that today the whole family didn't need to start a business, and according to the character of the owner, most of them must be meaty.
After Fang Xing returned to the main house, Hua Niang had already recruited more than a dozen women, and was going to cook in those temporary stoves.
Although this work is hard,
But everyone was very happy, no one else, because they could take home the leftover food after the work.
Around the outside of the main house, every household moved tables and benches. The children were playing around, and the men squatted aside, smiling and talking about the recent good days in Fangjiazhuang.
In the main house, Ma Suzheng and Liu Shi were weeping at each other, while Fang Xing and Zhang Shuhui avoided each other, letting the mother and son who had gone through ups and downs vent their emotions.
"Husband, were you the same as Ma Su when you won the exam?"
Zhang Shuhui asked while holding Fang Xing's arm sentimentally.
Fang Xing smiled dryly: "It's nothing, I was very calm at the time, and went out for a stroll."
Xiaobai, who came back to pick up the things, couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, but she remembered that her young master was so happy and silly at that time, if it wasn't for the master who pinched him at that time, she would have gone crazy.
Fang Xing threw an eye dart, Xiao Bai bit his lower lip, held up the hem of his skirt and ran away laughing.
"What! Today's weather is really good!"
Fang Xing was a little embarrassed, he had seen in the original owner's notes the mood and performance after winning the exam, one word: crazy!
But is this a word?
Fang Xing was about to do something when the atmosphere was throbbing...
"Is classmate Ma here?"
"Pony, pony!"
Fang Xing's hand had just supported the shy Zhang Shuhui's chin, but there was a commotion outside, which made him let go of his hand resentfully.
"Stop, who are you?"
Xin Laoqi's voice covered those movements.
"You avoid it first."
Fang Xing waited for Zhang Shuhui to leave before walking out of the small courtyard with a frown.
The main house is the Fang family's private place, and generally polite people would greet Lao Qi Xin outside the gate, but hearing the voices outside, there seemed to be some conflicts.
"I'm here to congratulate classmate Ma. Why don't you hurry up and report it, you stupid slave?"
A man in Confucian shirt pointed at Xin Lao Qi with a folding fan and shouted.
"Yes, yes, go and report it, or you will lose your job!"
"..."
Fang woke up just in time to see Xin Laoqi retreating profusely, so he coughed dryly.
"Who are you?"
The man in Confucian shirt retracted his folding fan and looked at Fang Xing with scrutiny.
Fang Xing looked at these men, the biggest temples were a little gray, but he still had a frivolous look.
"Is there something wrong with you all?"
Fang Xing asked knowingly.
The man in the Confucian shirt seemed to be the head, he raised his head and said: "We are students from Shuntian Mansion, who are you?"
The status of scholars is getting higher and higher these days, and it is not a day or two to look at people with their nostrils.
This group of guys probably saw that Ma Su passed the exam and thought that everyone could build relationships, so they came here after learning the news.
Ma Su became famous in one fell swoop, and at a very young age, this is a huge advantage in the examination field.
As the saying goes, there are many people who are still in their 50s and 60s who are still taking the exam for talents.
And Ma Su is old enough for him to arrange his own imperial examination path calmly. As long as there are no mistakes, his future must be promising.
This year also pays attention to a relationship as early as possible!
but……
Fang Xing looked at these imposing fellows, and wondered if they hadn't inquired about Ma Su's background?
