Chapter 496 Three Tests



"My father has always had the ambition to serve his country. He wrote this poem before he joined the army. Unfortunately, I was still young at the time and only remembered this sentence. I am really ashamed." Fang Zhengyi looked regretful.

Chu Qinghan became interested and asked, "Your father is so talented, what about others? Why did you come to my Chu family to be a servant?"

Fang Zheng shook his head with a look of pain, saying, "Due to the chaos of war, I couldn't find my father anymore...After my father went to the battlefield, there were only my mother and I at home. Later, our family fell into poverty and ended up like this. My mother kept thinking about finding my father and even tattooed something on my body."

After saying that, Fang Zheng lifted the clothes on his shoulders, revealing the four small words "Serve the country with loyalty" tattooed on the back of his shoulder!

In fact, the words were tattooed before Emperor Jing entered Taoyuan County, and he was waiting for the court to discover them after the war so that he could show his patriotism.

After all, this trick has always been a powerful weapon from ancient times to the present!

As for patriotism, you can just talk about it as long as you are in a safe zone. You don’t have to actually go to the battlefield or sell your property!

They can also stand on the moral high ground, point fingers at others, and put labels on others at will, and it costs nothing anyway!

If there really was a cow at home, many people would stop complaining.

"Although I didn't have much education when I was young, I never forgot my parents' teachings, and I have always kept this poem in my heart."

Fang Zhengyi silently pulled on his clothes, his face heavy.

Chu Qinghan was obviously shocked after hearing this. The poem could have been copied from somewhere else, but the tattoo couldn't have been done freshly!

Who would tattoo the words "Serve the country with loyalty" on their body for no reason? It shows that what he said is true!

Chu Qinghan couldn't help but be moved and said: "Your father is a righteous man, and your mother is also a person who understands righteousness!"

"May I have your name?"

"Fang Tangjing."

"Okay! From today on, you will be Yuyi's study companion!"

"Miss, you haven't even looked at us yet!" The servant at the back, who hadn't had time to examine them, immediately shouted.

Chu Qinghan's face was serious: "Whoever I say is who! Let's go."

Fang Zheng secretly laughed in his heart.

It's easy, too easy! Although the map change this time is hellish, it is undoubtedly the difficulty of the novice village.

I am at the maximum level and can beat the novice village!

Seeing Chu Qinghan standing there for a long time, Chu Youyi and Xinzhu came over. When they saw Fang Zhengyi, they immediately asked curiously, "Hey, aren't you Fang Tangjing? How did you get to the South Courtyard?"

"Oh, it was the girl from Hsinchu who said they were looking for servants here and told me I could come over and give it a try."

Hsinchu nodded quickly: "Yeah! Fang Tangjing is very talented and can speak well."

"Hmm? Is that so?" Chu Youyi glanced at Fang Zhengyi suspiciously: "I saw that you were very impressive in Yuhua Tower that day. You are quite good at eating."

"Have you met in Yuhua Tower?" Chu Qinghan asked.

"I've seen him! This guy is very picky when eating in Yuhua Tower. His taste is even more picky than mine!" Chu Youyi said indignantly.

"This... Before my father went to the battlefield, I often went to the restaurant. Last time, I saved up a lot of money and promised to take my newly recognized brother out for a good meal. His family was poor and he had never eaten anything good. The restaurant saw that we were poor, so they cooked a shoddy meal. I didn't expect that the second young lady saw it. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Fang Zhengyi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Nonsense! That day I said I would treat you to a meal, but you dared to ask for a lot and ordered dozens of dishes! Can you finish them?" Chu Youyi asked with her hands on her hips.

"Second Miss, you are wronging me. Of course I couldn't finish it. In fact, I wanted to bring some to the other people in my room. They had never eaten such delicious food, so I didn't think too much about it at the time. I'm really sorry, Second Miss, please deduct the meal fee from my salary."

Hsinchu's eyes lit up.

This is true! He didn't eat a single bite of the delicious fried chicken last night, and gave it all to her and Lai Fu. It shows that he is such a person.

"Miss, I can testify! What he said is true." Xin Kaikai added.

"Hsinchu, do you...know him well?" Chu Youyi was a little unhappy.

Which side are you on? You have been speaking for Fang Tangjing. Have you been fooled by him?

After listening to this, Chu Qinghan became serious and looked at Fang Zhengyi with admiration.

He is tall, handsome, has a good foundation, and is affectionate and caring.

I feel that he has a good personality and seems like an honest person.

Such a person is excellent, absolutely honest and reliable! If his family had not fallen into poverty, he would probably be a well-mannered scholar now.

"Youyi, stop talking. I think Fang Tangjing is a good person. Starting tomorrow, let him accompany you to the academy to study. That's it. Everyone else can go home." Chu Qinghan said calmly.

Hearing Chu Qinghan's unquestionable tone, Chu Youyi's rebellious psychology came up.

"No! What can we learn from just writing? I'm going to give them an extra test!"

Chu Qinghan frowned slightly: "Youyi, don't make trouble here! Studying is a serious matter, how can you play with it?"

"Sister, I'm the one who chooses the book boy! If I don't like him, it won't affect me. Of course I have to be more careful." Chu Youyi shook her sleeves with a pleading look on her face.

Chu Qinghan was helpless: "Okay, then what do you want to test?"

"Yes! Yes! Calligraphy and painting are one. Just knowing how to write is not enough. You also need to know how to paint! Each of you draw a picture for me. Whoever draws the best will be the book boy."

The servants looked embarrassed.

Drawing is a technical job, no one can do it!

But Fang Zheng remained calm, because he really could!

Pick up the brush...swish, swish, swish, with just a few strokes, a lifelike, touching and peerless painting is born!
