Poor Chen Shanchang, he didn't even smell the alcohol when Fang Zhengyi and Lai Gou'er finished half a jar of wine.
Since I can't steal all the wine, I will have a hard time explaining it tomorrow.
After drinking the wine, Fang Zhengyi slipped out of the Chu family, slightly tipsy.
He bought a set of white Confucian robes, a jade pendant, a folding fan, and a small wine jar.
Take a shower, have a meal, pick all the good ones!
I spent most of the two taels of silver in one afternoon, and I still had a few cents left.
But Fang Zheng thought about it carefully and it was enough.
This little girl Chu Youyi usually spends two taels of silver on meals. It’s so luxurious. If she continues to eat like this, she’s going to have problems with her diet!
It is always bad for the body if people eat too much fine food. Tomorrow I will teach her some healthy nutrition knowledge and let her eat some food from roadside stalls!
I'll go home and figure it out...
Time passed quickly and it was evening.
Fang Zheng walked towards the South Courtyard with a smile on his face, holding a basin of water.
The weather is nice tonight, I will pour the ink later! Won't the stars come out?
Haha, it’s really too simple.
Behind a nearby tree, a young servant saw Fang Zheng passing by with a basin of water, and immediately became alert and ran away in a hurry.
Soon, he ran to a group of servants and shouted, "Brothers! I saw that Fang Tangjing!"
"What? Did you find anything? How does that guy catch stars?"
"I saw him carrying a basin of water!" replied the servant.
Basin? Everyone lowered their heads and thought.
How can you catch stars in a basin? Can stars fall into the basin?
"What do you think the basin is for?"
Suddenly someone shouted, "Haha, I get it. This bastard must be trying to use the basin as a mirror to reflect the stars! That's all his cleverness!"
"Then it can't be photographed?" someone asked.
"How about pouring some ink? Wouldn't the black water make the reflection clearer?" Someone answered immediately.
"Who cares? We can't let this outsider get elected. Brothers, bring your basins!"
.......
When we arrived at the South Courtyard, Chu Youyi was already waiting there.
Fortunately, the table that had been set up in the daytime had not been removed yet. Fang Zheng put the basin of water on the table and looked at Chu Youyi.
Seeing this, Chu Youyi showed a disdainful expression: "What? Are you here to wash your face?"
Fang Zheng kept smiling, full of confidence: "Miss, don't you want to catch stars? I'll catch them for you right now."
Chu Youyi raised her eyebrows and said, "Haha, okay, if you can really catch him, then come with me to the academy tomorrow, otherwise I would rather go alone."
Fang Zhengyi said without further ado: "Please lend me some ink, Miss."
"Hsinchu, go and grind some ink for him. I want to see what he can come up with."
Hsinchu ran over to grind ink, and soon came back with the inkstone.
He came close to Fang Zhengyi and whispered, "Brother Fang, what on earth are you going to do? It's impossible to catch stars! The second young lady is just like that. She just doesn't like being controlled by the eldest young lady. She just said it casually. In fact, you just need to go with her tomorrow morning. She may not say anything more."
"Oh, you don't have to worry, look..."
"Second Miss! Second Miss! I've figured out a way to catch the stars!"
"I thought of that, too!"
"I want to ask Miss Second for some ink! I will be able to pick the stars off in a while!"
When Fang Zheng turned around, the expression on his face froze instantly!
A dozen servants came running over, each carrying a basin of water.
He was still shouting for ink.
What the hell is going on here? Are all these people's brains so quick?
While I was distracted, the servants had already placed the basins of water on the table.
Chu Youyi stretched her head out, stared at the scene blankly, and couldn't help laughing.
"Huh? You all thought of the same idea, right?"
"Second Miss, I figured out a solution this morning!" a servant shouted excitedly.
Fang Zhengyi felt as disgusted as if he had eaten shit.
The corners of my eyes kept twitching.
That's not right! This is not the same as what's shown on TV! Is there some bastard spying on me?
"Okay! Hsinchu, give him the ink first!" Chu Youyi pointed at the servant who had just spoken.
Xinzhu looked at Fang Zheng helplessly and could only turn around and walk to the servant.
The servant excitedly poured the ink into the basin.
A basin of clear water suddenly turned pitch black.
Then he excitedly ran to Chu Youyi holding the basin of water and said as if presenting a treasure: "Second Miss, the stars are in the basin."
Chu Youyi had already reacted halfway through and her face couldn't help but fall.
He lowered his head to glance at the basin and said coldly, "Look for yourself if there's anything in there?"
Upon hearing this, the smile on the servant's face slowly disappeared. He lowered his head to look at the basin, which was pitch black with only a faint moon. He hesitantly said, "Ah? There is no moon here... but there is a moon!"
"What I want is the stars. Please light up the moon for me! Why don't you bring a mirror? Wouldn't it be clearer there?" Chu Youyi's expression became increasingly unfriendly as she glanced at the servants: "Do you think I'm a fool? You're just using this to fool me! You're so stupid and you still want to be a servant?!"
Fang Zheng raised his head and glanced at the sky.
So it can't illuminate the stars? It seems that I have watched too many TV dramas and my thinking has fallen into misunderstanding.
Fortunately, there was an idiot who took the initiative, otherwise it would have been embarrassing!
"Fang Tangjing, what's your solution? You're not as stupid as using ink to shine on the stars, are you?" Chu Youyi asked, "Since my sister thinks you're smart, you must have another solution, right? If you can't think of a solution, I'll just choose someone else!"
