Chapter 66 Jinjiang First Release Chapter 66 Finally asked Fang Shu to show...
Yan Xikuan and Ma Qinsui had already been to their mentor's home, but they couldn't help but want to go again. They were curious about how Yu Qinglong would respond.
Fang Shu was a little conflicted.
He had seen Yu Qinglong's ability to curse, more than once, and he was truly worried that his beloved husband might say something too harsh and leave a bad impression on his mentor.
His mentor had been a lifesaver. Initially, because of his mother's family background, he had approached two teachers, but neither of them would accept him. Neither of them would explain the reason, simply saying they weren't accepting students for the time being.
Later, an insider revealed that it was because his grandmother was a street performer and was pregnant out of wedlock.
Some people suggested that the teacher should not accept him as a student, but the teacher convinced everyone and not only accepted him as a student, but also taught him carefully.
Both of them are very important to him. But with her husband's temper, if he really met Qian Changan, he probably wouldn't be able to hold back.
"What's wrong?" Yu Qinglong asked. "Are you worried that I'll embarrass him and make him jump into the lake again?"
"It's a pity for him to die," Fang Shu said. "I just don't want anyone to say anything bad about you. Besides, my mentor is old and can't stand being scolded."
"Don't worry, there won't be any quarrels. I know exactly where to quarrel and where not to quarrel. And maybe that person isn't here today, so he'll escape. If you want to go, hurry up, we still need to buy hemp rope and coarse cloth today."
If they delayed any longer, it would be afternoon already. And if he remembered correctly, Fang Shu's teacher did not live in the town, but four or five miles east of the town.
Fang Shu said, "Okay, let's go get some snacks and go visit our mentor."
Ma Qinsui said to Yan Xikuan, "Then we should go there again."
Fang Shu subconsciously said, "Didn't you say you've been there?"
Yu Qinglong quickly caught a glimpse of a subtle desire to join in the fun in the eyes of the two men.
The group went to buy some snacks and some tea, and then rushed to Ye Ting's small villa.
When they reached the courtyard, they could indeed hear voices talking inside. One of the voices belonged to the local scholar Ye Ting, and the other two were Qian Chang'an and another of Ye Ting's students.
But there was another voice, and Fang Shu felt a little regretful after hearing it.
Ma Qinsui and Yan Xikuan were also startled by the sound. Then Yu Qinglong said, "Aren't we going in?"
Fang Shu bravely entered the courtyard—the gate was already open. He stood in the courtyard and said, "Teacher, I, Fang Shoucheng, am here with my wife to visit you."
The conversation in the room suddenly stopped, and suddenly three people rushed out.
The first one was a young man with very obvious scars on his hands. He was fair and handsome, with a gentle complexion and a glowing whiteness from his face to his fingers. It was obvious that he had never touched women.
The boy looked at Fang Shu, then at Yu Qinglong beside him, as if he had suffered a great blow. He bit his lip, and finally looked at Fang Shu with resentment, as if he didn't know what to say.
Qian Changan, who was good-looking in every way except for his small eyes, was puzzled for a moment and said, "Fang Shoucheng, did I hear you wrong just now? What did you say you were bringing with you?"
Fang Shu felt annoyed the moment he heard the man speak. He didn't even glance at him. Instead, he said to Old Master Ye, who came out a step later, "Master, it's been a few days since we last met. I wonder if you are still in good health?"
Ye Ting was a man with white hair, a bit thin, and had a scholarly air. He glanced at Yu Qinglong, seeming a bit puzzled. "Same old story. Who did you just say you brought with you?"
Fang Shu said, "This is my husband, Yu Qinglong. I married him in July. It's a pity that you weren't home, so I couldn't invite you to the wedding. Brother Long, this is my mentor, Teacher Ye. His name is Ye Ting, and he's the most knowledgeable person here."
Yu Qinglong said calmly, "Qinglong meets Teacher Ye. I've often heard Fang Shu mention your erudition and generosity, and I'm honored to meet you today."
Ye Ting said, "Come in and talk."
Qian Chang'an's eyes were fixed on Yu Qinglong. His confusion was written all over his face. Just as Fang Shu was about to enter the house, he suddenly stopped Fang Shu and said, "Fang Shoucheng, your husband, is he a man?! How come he doesn't look like a man at all?"
Fang Shu glared at him, while Yu Qinglong simply smiled and said, "This must be Young Master Qian, right?"
Qian Changan said, "That's right. Qian Kang, courtesy name Changan."
Yu Qinglong said, "Mr. Qian, it's not your fault that your eyes are small, but you can open them wider when you can't see clearly. No one will blame you."
"puff!"
Yan Xikuan and Ma Qinsui couldn't help but laugh out loud. Another student, Zhang Run, also pursed his lips, looking like he wanted to laugh but didn't find it funny.
Qian Changan's face flushed, but because his teacher was present, he couldn't say anything too harsh, so he said, "I was rude just now. I wonder which family this Mr. Yu is from?"
Yu Qinglong said, "We are a small family, not worth Mr. Qian's inquiry. Just know that I will be a member of the Fang family in the future."
Qian Changan was a little unsure.
He felt that Yu Qinglong was not from a wealthy family. He knew the identities of the well-off families in the town and how many mosquitoes were in their homes. None of them had the surname Yu.
Judging from the way Yu Qinglong talks, he doesn't seem like a farmer's boy.
Although he was dressed very simply, in a blue cotton robe, his demeanor did not seem like someone from a farming family.
Even Fang Shu, when he first joined the teacher's school, was a bit timid. But how come this guy is even more calm and at ease than them?
Ye Ting also noticed it and was a little confused. He said, "Shoucheng, I've never heard that you were engaged before. How come you got married so suddenly?"
Fang Shu couldn't help but smile as he spoke of this, "I met Long Ge'er by chance. He helped me a lot, and our families didn't live far from each other. When my parents learned that Long Ge'er was unengaged and had a good character, they sent a matchmaker to propose marriage."
You can tell from his expression that he is happy.
However, after he said this, another brother present was about to cry.
Qian Changan said, "Fang Shoucheng, what you did is really disloyal. You knew that Junior Junior had been waiting for you all these years. You said before that you had no intention of getting married in the past few years, and now you suddenly have someone else. How do you expect Junior Junior to cope with this?"
Fang Shu said, "Qian Chang'an, please don't talk nonsense. My relationship with my junior is innocent. I never promised him anything. How can you say I'm not being righteous? He's just my junior."
Qian Changan said: "But he has waited for you for so many years after all."
Yu Qinglong: "If someone is waiting, does that mean he must marry the person he is waiting for? If that's the case, Young Master Qian must have a lot of people to marry, right?"
Qian Changan said: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't do that."
Yu Qinglong nodded: "Then your business is really not very good. That's right, compared to my family's defense of the city, you are always a little worse, which is understandable."
"You!" Qian Changan's face not only flushed, but his neck also became thick. He discovered that there were people in this world who he hated even more than Fang Shoucheng!
"Master Qian, it's autumn now, so don't get too angry. Excessive anger in autumn will lead to headaches in winter." Yu Qinglong said, "Calm down."
"Is this young master well versed in the art of medicine?" the young man asked. "Are your family members originally trained in medicine?"
"My family is just an ordinary farmer. But my master is a doctor. Unfortunately, I have only been practicing for a few months and have only barely mastered the basics."
"Oh. Did you go to school?"
"I have read it, but not much. Apart from the medical books, most of it was taught to me by my husband." Yu Qinglong glanced at Fang Shu when he said this, but saw Fang Shu looking back at him.
The couple smiled at each other, which made the younger student even more depressed.
Qian Changan, however, felt that he had found a way to turn the tables, and hurriedly asked, "I wonder what books the guards in the city are teaching Brother Xiaoyu to read?"
Yu Qinglong said: "The Four Books and Five Classics, poetry, songs and prose, all of them are there."
Qian Changan didn't believe it at all, thinking it was just an exaggeration. What about the Four Books and Five Classics? Did Yu Qinglong know how many characters there were in them?
He said, "But you've only been married for a month, how could you read so much? Could it be that before you even got married..."
Did you start reading it privately before you got married?!
Although he didn't say everything, his expression clearly showed that.
Yu Qinglong said, "People in this world are inherently different. Some read slowly, while others read quickly. Just like some people, grateful for the friendship of their classmates, are always courteous and humble whenever they meet. Others harbor jealousy and always pick fights with each other. Just because we're all human, we can't be compared. Mr. Qian, have you ever heard the story of 'The Donkey in Guizhou's Poorest Tricks'?"
"Of course I've heard of it."
"Then you should know that a donkey is still a donkey. Even in Guizhou, it's still a donkey. It can't be compared to a tiger. In my opinion, the best thing for 'Qianlu' to do is not to go to Guizhou, but to study more when you have time. Only then can you realize how vast the world is and how many wonders it holds."
"What a joke! What kind of book can a donkey like him read?"
"Yes, I think the donkey thinks so too."
Qian Changan felt something was amiss with this remark. Seeing his classmates on both sides trying to hold back their laughter, he suddenly understood. He slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Yu Qinglong: "You sharp-tongued fellow! Fang Shoucheng, does your husband even know the rules?"
Fang Shu said calmly, "At least he didn't slam the table and yell in front of the teacher."
Qian Changan immediately realized that he had been rude and quickly bowed to the teacher who had remained silent at the other end: "Teacher, please forgive me. I was reckless."
Ye Ting didn't respond and asked Yu Qinglong, "Brother Long just said that he read the Four Books and Five Classics. Could you tell me which one is your favorite?"
Yu Qinglong said, "I have only read a portion of it. My favorite at the moment is 'The Way of the University.'"
"Recite it and listen to it."
"The Way of the Great Learning is to manifest the illuminating virtue, to love the people, and to abstain from the highest good... This is called knowing the root, this is called the ultimate knowledge."
"Since you understand the principles of enlightenment, closeness to the people, and supreme goodness, then what you did previously can be called 'supreme goodness'?"
"I think it's okay. People are like trees. Sunlight can promote their growth, and so can wind and rain. If a friend needs sunshine, then give it to him. If a friend needs wind and rain, then give it to him. Whether he grows or not is his business, and whether I give him what he wants is my business. If I get resentment for this, it's better than not reminding my friend when he's doing something inappropriate."
"You're quite sharp-tongued." Ye Ting stroked his beard slowly and suddenly laughed. "I was saying that Shoucheng had always said he wouldn't marry. It's hard to find a soulmate, but how come he suddenly got married? I guess it was you who convinced him with your words." [1]
"Uh, this is..."
Yu Qinglong's ears suddenly turned red.
Fang Shu also looked somewhat uncomfortable.
The two of them turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, their eyes met, and then turned back in panic.
The antics of last night are still vivid in my mind. My heart beats faster and my blood rushes when I think of it.
Yu Qinglong unconsciously licked the corner of his lips, and Fang Shu's mouth was also dry. He didn't feel the warmth of the other person's mouth during the kiss, but he felt it in another way.
At this time, Qian Changan muttered, "Who is your window buddy? You are just trying to flatter yourself."
Before Yu Qinglong could say anything, Ye Ting glared at Qian Changan, "How dare you bring that up? You've read so much that you've lost everything. You used to come along on my trips, and I've taught you for so long, yet you haven't improved at all! You can't stand a classmate who's better than you, and if you ever reach a higher level, won't you be tormented every day? How can you ever learn like this?"
Qian Changan immediately knelt down and said, "I'm sorry, teacher. I know I was wrong."
When the other students saw this, they also knelt down.
Yu Qinglong was a little confused. Is it really that strict?
Although there was a wooden board and kneeling wouldn't get dirty, he didn't really want to kneel.
Forget it, let him kneel down too.
Yu Qinglong knelt beside Fang Shu.
Ye Ting then said, "Alright, stop kneeling. What are you kneeling for? You might as well spend this time studying. The Autumn Examination will be next year, so put aside all your unnecessary thoughts. If you miss next year, it will be another three years. How many three years do you have in a lifetime? Especially you!"
Yu Qinglong was suddenly pointed at: "Me?"
Ye Ting said, "Go back and keep an eye on your husband's studies. He's smart, but he's lazy and can't move when he sees a stone or a piece of wood. Fang Shoucheng, what's that thing you're carrying?"
Ye Ting pointed at the pen holder on the side of Fang Shu's schoolbag. He immediately felt that it didn't look like a water bottle and wondered if the student had brought some toys with him.
Fang Shu immediately went to get it: "Teacher, this is a pen holder. It contains brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone."
As soon as he said this, everyone was curious and turned around.
As soon as Fang Shu opened it for display, everyone felt that this thing was truly made with the needs of scholars in mind. This is so convenient!
Even Qian Changan couldn't help but ask, "Fang Shoucheng, where did you get this thing?"
Fang Shu immediately looked like a victorious rooster, and said proudly, "My husband made this especially for me!"
Zhang Run asked, "I wonder if Brother Xiaoyu could make another one for me?"
Yu Qinglong said, "Okay."
The younger student said, "Then I want one too."
Ma Qinsui and Yan Xikuan: "Then why don't we also..."
Yu Qinglong: "All of them."
Qian Changan: "..." Hate it! Why does Fang Shu always get all the good things?
Qian Changan was extremely depressed.
He wanted it too, but he couldn't say it.
Unexpectedly, Yu Qinglong said at this time: "There are five in total. Next time, let the guards bring them over to everyone."
Qian Changan suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Sad, yet a little happy.
It's really weird!
