Jia Huaigang returned to the punishment hall, took out his pen and ink, and wrote quickly on a piece of rice paper. After a while, he called the handyman and asked him to post it on the notice board.
Today is the day when new students report for admission. The Zhixing courtyard is very crowded. Students from all over the country are arriving one after another. The notice board is near the courtyard gate, and the award books and disciplinary orders for the students are prominently posted there.
A person who looked like a handyman posted a new piece of white paper with ink on the notice board, and many students came forward to look at it curiously.
I saw "Zhixingyuan Punishment Order" written in black and white on the paper. Below the big words was a line of small words: No. 1, and further below: He An, a new student from Chuzhou Prefecture, ignored the rules of the academy, got into fights, and was punished with three days of confinement to make an example! Signed: Hall of Punishment!
Freshmen were placed in solitary confinement on their first day, which was unique since the founding of Zhixing Academy. He An's reputation spread among the students. Everyone was talking a lot, everyone wanted to see what kind of person He An was, who was the first in history.
Fan Dazhi pouted as he walked back to the dormitory. He originally wanted to be punished together with He An, but the teacher in the punishment hall, who was like a judge, kicked him out after blowing his beard, staring and cursing, "This is unreasonable."
Good brothers should share blessings and share hardships. He couldn't just watch He An being punished. Is there any way to be punished with him?
Also looking for a fight with classmates? No, even if there is no grievance and no hatred, even if you win, you will not win with force. Besides, fighting is not what I am good at. But I don’t have much, so how can I achieve this great goal?
Fan Dazhi thought about it as he walked. After thinking for a long time, he felt a little headache, so he took out a pear from his arms. This was an extra pear he had secretly hidden when he went to the dining hall to eat in the morning.
The food at Zhixingyuan Dining Hall is very good, much better than Fan Dazhi imagined. There are golden and oily chicken drumsticks, fried soft and crispy river fish, thin-skinned and big stuffed sauce pork buns and other delicacies from all over the world. I will really It's a blessing.
He took a bite of the pear. Yes, it was crispy and sweet, but it looked like a bug. Fan Dazhi stared at it with wide eyes. A fat bug crawled out of the hole and lay on the white flesh of the pear, twisting its body. , seemed to protest against Fan Dazhi disturbing it.
Fan Dazhi puffed up his cheeks, blew the bugs away in one breath, and took another bite of the pear. An idea flashed through his mind, and a brilliant idea suddenly occurred to him.
He suddenly felt good and walked to the dormitory with a smile. However, he found that people were also coming to the other two beds in the room. One of them looked one or two years older than him. He was dressed luxuriously and was chatting eloquently with the other person.
When the two of them saw Fan Dazhi coming back, they greeted him warmly. Fan Dazhi smiled shyly and leaned down to pick up the scattered papers under his bed. The richly dressed young man also bent down to help pick it up.
He picked up a piece of paper and saw the neatly decorated hairpins written on it in small regular script: At that time, he was young, wearing thin spring clothes, riding a horse and leaning on a leaning bridge, with red sleeves all over the building... Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in admiration: " Oh, my brother, you are such a talented person. Your handwriting is dignified and beautiful, and your handwriting is good in regular script. I didn’t expect that my brother would also like this poem "Bodhisattva Man" by the former poet Wei Da. I also love the "Half Volume of Incense Lamp" in it. Tassel tent. When the waning moon went out, the beauty and the tearful words... The spring scenery in Luoyang city is good, and the talented people in Luoyang are old in a foreign land... Peach blossoms in spring water, mandarin ducks bathing on the water." These few sentences, brothers are charming and suave, it seems that we are the same people!"
Fan Dazhi's face was slightly red, and he held up his hands and said a few words of courtesy. This young man in luxurious clothes was very warm, and he took the other person and introduced each other.
This richly dressed young man is called Gu Qingzhou. He has long sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, and is quite heroic in his gestures. He said that he was handsome and generous, and he even boasted that he was the most handsome guy in Luoyang City. If he was more handsome, no one would dare to touch him. He also patted his chest and told Fan Dazhi that he would protect him from now on, not only in Zhixingyuan but also in Luoyang City, Kyoto. No one dares to bully you.
Fan Dazhi secretly smiled in his heart. Xiao An often said that he is narcissistic. The guy in front of him seems to be more narcissistic than himself. However, it is undeniable that this man is luxuriously dressed in rich robes and jade belt. He is more handsome and elegant than Pan An. He is indeed very narcissistic. He is not as domineering as a playboy like Cui Mengshu. Although he speaks arrogantly and uninhibitedly, the kindness in his words makes Fan Dazhi unable to feel the slightest resentment.
The other person is named Bi Feiyun. He has an ordinary appearance and ordinary clothes. He speaks cautiously and has a shrewd look in his eyes.
Fan Dazhi didn't chat with the two young people for long, and they became very familiar with Gu Qingzhou after they deliberately made friends with them. In the evening, Gu Qingzhou said that we had a chance meeting today, and he was very happy to meet simple brothers like Fan Dazhi and Bi Yunfei. He wanted to invite everyone to try the really different water banquet, delicious delicacies, water and land eight delicacies, which is a famous restaurant in Luoyang city. , one of which is the "Peony Yancai" which is a masterpiece, and its cooking is even better than that of the royal chef in the palace.
Fan Dazhi was thinking about accompanying He An to share in some difficulties, so he reluctantly declined, saying that he had something to do in the evening and would definitely go next time.
After Gu Qingzhou and the two left, it was already dark. Fan Dazhi went out and poked his head around the Zhixing Courtyard, looking around, and even jogged two laps on the empty training ground.
Until he felt a little hungry, he found the hut again. After completely emptying his body, he wandered along the path in the garden of Zhixingyuan for a long time.
The number of people walking on the road gradually became less and less, and the night was getting darker. Fan Dazhi walked to a small courtyard and stopped. He looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then flew into the courtyard.
The moon shines through the clouds, and in this quiet night, the trees are shadowed, and the moonlight shines mottledly on the plaque on the courtyard door that says "dining room."
Fan Dazhi hung on the privet tree like a raccoon. Through the still lush leaves, he furtively looked at the kitchen behind the dining room. Several busy handymen were packing up and leaving one after another. The last person turned off the lights. Then he closed the door, locked another brass lock with a click, and the figure slowly walked away in the night.
After confirming that everyone was gone, Fan Dazhi jumped down from the tree nimbly, opened the window of the back kitchen, and got in without hesitation.
Under the moonlight, he looked at the dazzling array of chickens, ducks, fish, melons, fruits and vegetables. His eyes shone with joy and his stomach rumbled in time.
Everything I've seen and haven't seen before is all delicious, almost covering the entire back kitchen. These are all prepared in advance to provide meals for teachers and students tomorrow.
Fan Dazhi rolled up his sleeves, first pulled a chicken leg from a golden and oily chicken, and then grabbed the largest and fattest one from a pile of still-warm lamb chops, and started to feast on it. The room was silent, except for the sound of his chewing.
About an hour later, the back kitchen was in a mess, with all kinds of peels and bones scattered everywhere.
Fan Dazhi's face was shiny after eating, his belly was bulging, and he burped loudly. He poured another full bowl of plum soup, picked it up and drank half of the bowl in one gulp, and burped two more times with satisfaction.
He kept eating until he burped and felt the food in his stomach churn, as if he was going to vomit it out accidentally. Then he rubbed his swollen belly, found a square table, swept the food on the table to other tables, and lay down I went down and stretched out comfortably. After a while, I felt sleepy, and loud snoring sounded again in the back kitchen...
Early the next morning, in the punishment hall, Jia Huaigang crossed his legs and had just made a pot of tea. Lao Zhangtou, who was in charge of the dining room, dragged Fan Dazhi in.
Jia Huaigang took a look and saw that it was the fat boy who made the ridiculous request yesterday again?
Lao Zhangtou said angrily: "Master Jia, this little bastard went to the dining room last night and ate a lot of the dishes prepared for teachers and students today. He even ate some good ones. I'm going to eat today." The food supply is not available, do you think it’s hateful or not?”
Jia Huaigang frowned when he heard this, and Fan Dazhi stepped forward and said with excitement: "Student Fan Dazhi, I am willing to be punished. Please Master Jia also punish me with confinement... please punish me with confinement quickly!" It seemed that he was still a little impatient.
Jia Huaigang was so angry that he said, "This is unreasonable. You wanted to accompany He An yesterday. You made such a ridiculous request. You treat the rules of Zhixing Academy as child's play. I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to violate the rules of the academy. You are so willing to degenerate. I am really angry." Also...Okay! Okay! Okay! I will grant you a favor and punish you with solitary confinement for seven days."
When Fan Dazhi heard this, he was dumbfounded. How come he was four days older than He An...
Soon, a handyman posted a new notice on the notice board at the entrance of the courtyard.
Zhixingyuan Punishment Order No. 2: Fan Dazhi, a new student from Chuzhou Prefecture, ignored the rules of the academy and stole food from the dining room. His behavior was bad and he was punished with seven days of confinement as a warning to others!
This announcement spread in Zhixingyuan with lightning speed, and the two people were imprisoned one after another, which really set a record since the establishment of Zhixingyuan.
The new students' admiration for these two people was like a torrential river, and the old students were all talking privately about how unruly this class of students was, and wanted to know who these two people were.
In the study room, Ding Wenruo, wearing a lake blue silk shirt, was sitting by the window, bending over her desk to review what the teacher had just said. The sunlight shone on her face through the mottled shadows of the trees, making her feel peaceful and beautiful.
Ding Wenruo inadvertently heard several female classmates chattering outside.
"What? Being placed in solitary confinement just after entering school? You are so brave!"
"The other one is stealing? Hahaha... That's hilarious... What's your name, Fan Dazhi!"
"You said that He An and him are together...these two are really treasures."
"Yes, it is said that He An was punished for fighting!"
The breeze blew, and Wen Ruo pushed the scattered hair behind her ears, and frowned her beautiful eyebrows slightly. Aren't these two the outstanding students brought back by Brother Fang that her father said? You also asked me to have more relationships in the future, why was it so unbearable? I have to tell my father when I get back.
In a small, green courtyard, Lu Zhengqing was debating with Yan Zhongjie, another student teacher, about a passage in "Mencius Li Lou" in which the people of Qi had one wife and one concubine... Lu Zhengqing said that begging for wine and meat to survive, how come One wife and one concubine, Yan Zhongjie believes that poor and humble couples are sad for everything, and they are sad when they are sad, but it is not an exaggeration to stay together until they grow old, and they go to the grave mourners to ask for some wine and meat.
The two argued for a long time, but neither could convince the other. Intermediary Yan made a pot of tea and said, "Zhengqing, have a cup of tea and wait for Mr. Dean to come back and comment."
He first handed a glass to Lu Zhengqing, then picked up a glass himself, took a sip and said, "Sir, I don't know what you think. The Cui family's establishment of Longmen Academy is clearly aimed at us. I heard that there are also undercurrents in the court. But at this critical moment, Mr. Dean is out traveling again, alas!... And the new students we recruited this year are also not up to expectations. One was put in solitary confinement just after entering school, and the other was put in solitary confinement for stealing. It's really a decline in the world... What do you think of Fang Yi? How could he bring back these two naughty children when he is mature and prudent and has excellent morals and learning?"
Lu Zhengqing couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "You said...the names of these two naughty children are He An and Fan Dazhi?"
Agent Yan nodded and spit out a piece of tea: "Yes, Zhengqing, you know everything?"
Lu Zhengqing took a sip of tea soup and squirted out...
