Not long after the spring began, a gentleman came to the school in the small town. He was also wearing blue clothes. He was also in his forties, but he was not worthy of jade, and his surname was not Zhou. Many children in the school cried and shouted for Mr. Zhou, and asked the new teacher to slap their palms. They cried and had no choice but to accept the fact that Mr. Zhou quit his job as a teacher.
The town has lost a Mr. Zhou, and Qingchai Xunfu has gained a young master.
The servants of the Xun family both inside and outside were puzzled. Usually when the master of the palace was here, he would find countless famous masters for the young master. Within a few days, they would all take the initiative to resign. They would even say that the young master had a strange talent and that his own abilities were insignificant. After a few days, the young master You can know everything, but there is really nothing to teach you. It has been like this for many years, and the master of the palace no longer wastes his efforts. Mr. Zhou, who has returned this time, has stayed in the mansion for several decades and is not yet discouraged, which surprises the servants. At first, everyone got together and discussed, and even made a bet in private, betting on how many more days this gentleman could survive. Some bet for ten days, and some even bet for less than half a day. It was a coincidence that Mr. Xun accidentally happened upon this scene. It was rare that he didn't punish everyone. Instead, he made a bet with a dark face that his husband would not leave within ten years. Everyone was shocked. After a few months, everyone realized that their young master seemed to have indeed studied under an expert from outside the world. The Xun family had a great business, and no one cared about the small amount of money. Instead, they were sincerely happy. In the final analysis, they were abandoned members of the Xun family, and were forced to be demoted out of the capital by the reincarnation of Wenqu in the imperial city. As a literary family, there is no greater shame than this. Although they are servants, they have served in the Xun family for generations, and they have been infected with the arrogance of the family. Therefore, the young masters of their own lineage will flourish in their studies, and they will be soaring into the sky in the future, and they will be equally proud.
God knows, Xun Yuantuo was even more surprised than everyone else. He has an arrogant nature, and Zhou Kefa scolded him with his gun and stick, which always felt like a lump in his throat. He has been studying chess hard for several months, playing countless games with his teacher, and his best record was a draw.
It wouldn't matter if it was a draw, but the most annoying thing is that the game is stalemate, and the black and white pieces are fighting so hard that blood is flying everywhere. When the smoke is everywhere, the person sitting across from him often glances at the Fangyan picture book open on one side. Mr. Xun has always boasted that he was the best in the city since he was a child. In this situation, he still resisted the urge to speak dirty words and persisted until the final decision. He was holding it in until his face was red and his ears were red. He even suspected that he had hurt his lungs. He was weak and could not calm down his anger, which caused him to cough continuously for days, which affected his speech. He often covered his mouth with a handkerchief.
There was a period of time in spring, but the fire in Xun Gongzi's elegant house was still not extinguished. This stove is very exquisitely made. It looks like a unicorn lying on the ground with fat hooves and a big belly. It has a childlike expression. It is half a meter tall. It is poured and molded with wrought copper. There are square holes in the sides and a hollow inside. Add coal to start the fire, and the furnace wall should be about four or five palms thick to avoid scalding the skin if accidentally touched. In order to prevent the smoke from suffocating the nose, a trap door was added to the hole, which was closed at ordinary times and pushed open when adding coal; a slender, seamless, moderately thick copper pipe was branched from the back of the unicorn, leading directly to the outside of the wooden building. Drain all the thick smoke; Xun Mansion's wooden building is most afraid of fire disasters. Obviously, the stove cannot be pressed directly on the five wooden floors. An oval water-filled white stone trough is placed under the belly of the fat unicorn, and the personal maids always add water to prevent it from drying out. Because of the unique craftsmanship of this furnace, the high officials in the court liked it and named it Qilin furnace.
Today Mr. Xun still got up early. After washing himself, he couldn't wait to study the unfinished chess game without breakfast. From time to time, he covered his mouth and coughed, his shoulders trembled, and the handsome man's face became more and more haggard. Putting aside the chess game for the moment, he frowned slightly, crossed his legs and sat on the futon, put his robe on his shoulders, and looked outside the gauze curtain, but unfortunately only wisps of light came through.
At first I thought that I was fully fledged and had established myself in a country's literary world, but once I met Mr. Zhou, my mood seemed to be shattered into pieces. The huge difference in chess skills alone frightened him. With such a gap, how long will it take for him to return to the imperial capital and become famous all over the world?
Mr. Xun raised his head and drove away his troublesome thoughts, his satin-like hair falling down like a waterfall. My throat felt extremely itchy, and I coughed hurriedly. I clutched my handkerchief tightly, and it took a long time to calm down.
It's just lung fire. It may be cured in two days. As for drinking the decoction, Mr. Xun has always disliked the bitter taste of the decoction. The maids and servants said all they could to persuade him, so he had to give up. From the perspective of those close to him, this talented young master is actually very knowledgeable, but he still has a childlike temper, which is reassuring. After all, if you are too young and mature, you will lose any trace of youthful coquettishness and arrogance, and you will be like an old ghost in the skin of a teenager, which will make people afraid no matter what.
Calculating the time, Mr. Xun should have arrived a long time ago, but Mr. Xun waited for a long time and there was no trace of Mr. He couldn't help but feel doubtful. He put on his brocade embroidered robe and went downstairs to inquire. In the past few months, whenever the young master was talking, for fear of being disturbed and causing chaos in the chess game, all the servants and maids were sent downstairs. As time went by, the servants naturally got used to it, and by this time they quite consciously left the wooden building, so Xun Xun The young master searched for a while, but found no one there, so he had no choice but to go downstairs himself.
"It seems like... I haven't been downstairs for a long time?"
Mr. Xun walked to the stairs and rubbed his eyebrows. Sure enough, the spring scenery outside the house was rich, and the spring breeze and spring day were perfect.
Looking up, he noticed a muffled sound like a drum. He hurriedly took two more wooden steps and stood in the corridor to take a look. It turned out to be a few servants and young boys. At this moment, they were sweating profusely in short shirts and playing Cuju in the side yard of Xun Mansion. The children were playing around, shouting or asking others to accidentally stop their feet. They fell to the ground and ate their mouths full of dirt. They were too busy peeing. He was talking twice, but he was not angry. He stood up and continued to fight for Cuju. The young master in luxurious and elegant clothes looked at the scene in front of him with great interest, with a smile on his face and the sunlight falling all over him, making him dazzling.
There happened to be a personal servant downstairs carrying a food box, preparing to go upstairs to deliver breakfast to the young master. When he raised his head, he saw the young master smiling in the corridor on the second floor and looking towards the side courtyard. I don't know why, but I sighed for a while: The young master is also a young man in his prime. He should have been able to live freely in Spring City, but he has no choice but to shoulder the burden of reviving the family line. I really don't know whether his talent and intelligence are good or bad.
It’s okay to think about some things, but you’d rather keep them in your heart than say them out. A few years ago, a personal maid saw that the young master was tired from studying, and she felt distressed and bought a military commander pottery man, and secretly gave it to the young master, so that she could play with it during the break. Not wanting to be caught by the master, she couldn't help but smash the pottery man, and the maid punished him with three sticks. Ten, defeat the Xun family. The servant didn't want to follow in his footsteps, and he still expected this job to support his family, so he walked upstairs, stood in front of the young master, bowed and saluted, and said: "Master, it's not warm now. You're wearing thin clothes, so you'd better go back to your room early. Don’t catch a cold.”
The young master did not turn around, but still stared at the children in the side yard, and said softly: "It's okay. Let's put the food box in the house for now. I'm not hungry yet, so I'll watch it later."
It was nearly half noon before Xun Yuantuo turned around and returned to his room, carrying a robe embroidered with gold thread in his hands. Just as he approached the door, he smelled a hint of fragrance and sniffed it hard, but it was difficult to distinguish what it was. At this time, the servants and servants were not here, and he did not see his husband coming up from downstairs. Xun Yuantuo was puzzled and walked away for two seconds Bu pushed open the door and walked inside.
