Chapter 134 Playing

Yan Shifang of Ruizhu Hall had already finished her dinner. She was drinking tea alone, holding a volume of Cheng Wen's collection of Jiwei's exam in her hand. She was shaking her head and exclaiming from time to time. Seeing Zeng Yu and Yan Shaoting, Yan Shaoqing came in and asked, "Have Zeng Sheng used the meal?" She ordered the servant to serve Zeng Yu. As for Yan Shaoqing and Yan Shaoting, they were nephews, standing aside.

Yan Shaoting asked the evil man to complain first, and said first: "Uncle, Mr. Zeng had just provoked the relationship between his nephew and Brother Qing in Qianshan Hall. The nephew was angry and argued with him for a few words-"

Yan Shifang's face sank and shouted, "Shut up, listen to what Mr. Zeng said first." He asked Zeng Yu: "Zeng Sheng, what happened?"

Zeng Yu said: "Let Master Shaoting talk first."

Yan Shifang waved his hand and said, "How can there be such a rule? Zeng Sheng, please speak." He also glared at Yan Shaoting sternly.

Yan Shaoting, who looked like Yan Shifan, secretly complained. This uncle was so old-fashioned that he was thinking about countermeasures.

Zeng Yu said what he had just happened one by one. Yan Shifang raised his eyebrows and asked Yan Shaoting: "What else do you have to say?"

With Yan Shaoqing here, Yan Shaoting knew that he could not deny it. His uncle Yan Shifang was angry and could really beat someone. He hurriedly said, "It was his nephew who misunderstood Mr. Zeng. The servant Liuer made trouble with his nephew and said that Mr. Zeng was sowing his nephew's brotherhood. He also said that Mr. Zeng often teased his female students when they were beautiful, but he turned out to be Liuer talking nonsense. The nephew didn't notice it for a while and believed it, so he was quite disrespectful to Mr. Zeng. Please forgive me for being confused for a while." He turned his head and asked Yan Erhu and Shanhao who followed him: "Where is Liuer, grab him over and stomp his mouth." At the same time, he winked-

Yan Erhu and Shan Hao understood it, agreed, turned around and left Ruizhu Hall.

Zeng Yu said intimately: "Awesome, I am worthy of being Yan Shifan's son. He left himself cleared himself in a few words, and used the mouth of the servant Liu'er to falsely slander me and teased the female student. I am so strong that the young man was slandering, just as he slandered me. Moreover, Yan Shaoting had already clearly stated that Liu'er was talking nonsense, so I couldn't argue anymore, but even if Mr. Fang Tang didn't believe it, he would always feel a little grudge in his heart." He bowed to Yan Shifang and said: "I don't know that someone has slandered me innocence behind my back. Mr. Fang Tang, the young student who is accompanied by your mansion, is not competent. The young student will go back to Guangxin Mansion tomorrow."

Yan Shifang still admired Zeng Yu quite a lot. Although Zeng Yu was in his prime, his words and demeanor were steady and appropriate. What was even more rare was that he could withstand the loneliness of his hometown. He only copied calligraphy and ancient paintings in the Qianshantang Library at night. He was very studious. He was a model for Shaoqing and Shaoting to learn from his brothers. He immediately sincerely persuaded him and said, "Zeng Sheng, don't listen to those stupid servants gossiping, I will punish him heavily." He shouted to Yan Shaoting: "I haven't apologized to Mr. Zeng. I have told you that Mr. Zeng is both a teacher and a friend to you, and he is my assistant to you. How dare you disrespect you?"

Although Yan Shaoting was resentful, he did not dare to disobey on the surface. He lowered his head and bowed to Zeng Yu to apologize. Zeng Yu smiled and said, "Young Master Shaoting, don't let Yan Erhu and the others attack too ruthlessly. If you break the servant Liu'er, it would be too much."

While speaking, Yan Erhu and Shan Hao, the two eagles caught the servant Liu'er like a chicken. Liu'er had a bruised face and a bloody nose. He cried all the way: "I will never dare to do it again, nor will I dare to do it again."

Yan Shifang asked a few questions. Xiaosi Liu'er said nothing except the five words "Never dare again". The nosebleed was still flowing, and Yan Erhu twisted his hands back, so he couldn't wipe the nosebleed. It looked very miserable.

Yan Shifang waved his hand in disgust: "Take it out and punish him for having no food tomorrow. If you beat him, don't beat him again. If you dare to talk nonsense again in the future, you will be refusing to blame him." He taught another lesson: Yan Shaoting said a few words, and after he sent Yan Shaoqing and Yan Shaoting away, he left Zeng fishing and tea to chat with Zeng's heart.

Zeng Yu said: "Young Master Shaoting is dissatisfied with the young master Shaoqing because he gets along well with him. He really didn't expect that a mere accompanying student would cause trouble."

Yan Shifang said: "Shaoqing and Shaoting are indeed not very harmonious. Shaoting has been a little arrogant since childhood. Fortunately, he is still naive. He has never cared about his child's momentary confusing words. If he is wrong, just teach him a lesson, don't worry about what happened today."

After sitting in Ruizhu Hall for half an hour, Zeng Yu returned to the Qianshan Hall Library and continued to copy his "Tianma Fu". Yan Shaoqing came over and watched Zeng Yu copy the calligraphy quietly. When Zeng Yu put down his pen and moved his fingers, Yan Shaoqing said: "My brother doesn't regret it. He also threatened that he would let Mr. Zeng know his power in the future. Mr. Zeng still had to be careful - do you have to report this to my uncle?"

Zeng Yu said, "My brother is very scheming. He is deliberately saying these words in front of you. I know you will tell me that he wants me to complain to Uncle Ru again. After several times, Uncle Ru is also annoyed and will not be divorced."

Yan Shaoqing nodded and said, "Mr. Zeng is right, but Mr. Zeng should not take it lightly. He is vengeful. Now he is still young and cannot do anything. Two years later, it will be hard to say that after the Qianhu, the deputy chief of the Jinyiwei, it is very difficult to say. Of course, I will help Mr. Zeng."

Zeng Yu said: "Thank you, Mr. Qing. I don't think I have any grudges with Mr. Shaoting. He is still a young man now. When he grows up, he naturally knows that I have no malice."

Yan Shaoqing said silently and said for a while: "Mr. Zeng is really gentlemanly, which makes me admire him."

Zeng Yu smiled slightly and saw a full moon hanging out of the east window. He remembered that Lu Miaoxiang said that he was a gentleman at this night, but he knew that he was not a gentleman, nor was he a villain who did whatever he wanted. He was just a commoner. In Fenyi, it was Lu Miaoxiang that attracted him. Therefore, Yan Shaoting used the name of the servant Liuer to say that he was a lustful person is not completely slander.

He also thought: "Is it possible that Yan Shaoting is suspicious of me for picking up Miss Yingzi often? It seems that I have to be more careful in the future. Yan Shifan is gone, but Yan Shaoting is also a kid who wants to cause trouble for me. Of course, Miss Yingzi and I are innocent, and Lu Miaoxiang are also very innocent. Last night I could be called sitting in my arms without being confused. Oh, sitting in my arms without being confused is going to be scolded."

The next day at the end of Mao, Zeng Yu came to Yuqingtang clan school as usual to drink porridge with the old man Yan Dai. The old man Yan also steamed yellow cakes. The two of them were eating, and they heard the sound of footsteps. When they turned to look, a girl named Yaozi came in with a small bookcase. Zeng Yu hurriedly said, "Why did Miss Yingzi come by herself? Yan Ci Ding hasn't gone to pick you up yet."

Yingzi quickly walked to his desk, put down the bookcase, then bowed to Zeng Yu and Yan Dai, and said, "I have something to tell Mr. Zeng, so I came early."

The old man Yan Dai greeted, "Miss Xiaozi, come and have a piece of yellow cake."

Yingzi thanked the old man Yan Dai, and was not busy eating cakes. He said to Zeng Yu: "Mr. Zeng, my mother accidentally broke the teapot the night before yesterday and scalded herbs by boiling water. She was very injured. My mother didn't know where to apply some herbs to it. It really made me worry. That day I went to Jichang Garden again, otherwise I would just come here to invite Mr. Zeng to take a look."

Since Lu Miaoxiang didn't tell Yingzi the truth about that night, Zeng Yu wouldn't talk too much. He pretended to be surprised and said, "Do you want Dr. Xue from Wutang to treat him?"

Yingzi said: "Doctor Xue is far away. The distance water cannot save the near fire. And I don't know if Dr. Xue is in Wutang. Mr. Zeng is also proficient in medical skills. Let's help my mother treat it first?"

At this time, Yan Shifang brought his daughter Yan Wan'er to the clan school lobby. When she heard that Lu Miaoxiang was scalded by boiling water, she asked a servant from Ruizhutang to accompany Zeng Yu to Fengshuwan Temple to treat Lu Miaoxiang. Naturally, Yingzi also had to go back with her.

Crossing the single-plank bridge, he came to the wooden house in Maple Stove Bay. Lu Miao wanted to copy Wen Zhengming's painting in the west room. When he saw Yingzi leading Zeng Yu and a servant came, he knew what was going on, and said angrily: "Xiaozi, didn't I say it's not important? Why do you still have to bother Mr. Zeng?"

Zeng Yu looked at Lu Miaoxiang in a slim black robe and smiled and said, "Miss Yingzi cares about Miss Lu. I ask Miss Lu to let Xiaosheng see the burning area. If the injury is severe, I have to invite Dr. Xue from Wutang. Xiaosheng is afraid of being skilled and not daring to apply medicine."

Lu Miao wanted to hear Zeng Yu say this, and felt shy and dared not look at Zeng Yu's eyes, but had to cooperate with Zeng Yu to act, lifting his robe and rolling his pants, showing his white calves naked, and wrapping his wounds with a piece of blue cotton cloth.

Zeng Yu said: "Let me see what kind of injury medicine Mrs. Lu uses?"

Lu Miao wanted to pursed her lips and thought to herself, "Aren't these all the wound medicines you made - Well, Mr. Zeng must pretend to be serious because of Xiaozi." When he thought about this, he felt a little funny and dared not laugh. He lowered his head and gently untied the wounded cloth belt. The honey-mixed scald ointment had condensed on the wound, emitting a mixed smell of camphor and cypress, as well as a faint female body fragrance.

Zeng Yu said: "This ointment is good to treat scalds, where did Lady Lu get it?"

Lu Miaoxiang whispered: "I don't know either."

Zeng Yu said: "Then two days later, Xiaosheng will come to treat Niangzi Lu again. Now the ointment cannot be removed. I will apply it first and then make a decision after two days."

The servant lady from Ruizhu Hall was always by her side, and Zeng Yu was not inconvenient to speak much, so she gave her a few words and said goodbye.

Yingzi relaxed because Zeng Yu said that the scald was not inconvenient, and followed Zeng Yu back to the Yuqingtang clan school in the east of the village. On the way, while the servant was not paying attention, she whispered to Zeng Yu: "Mr. Zeng, my father was also burned, and his face was covered with red spots. I'm afraid that the night before--" he glanced at Zeng Yu and didn't say anything more.

This girl was smart and meticulous. She roughly guessed the storm that night, but she only thought that her aunt broke the teapot and burned herself and Yan Shifan. However, she didn't know that there were more twists and turns in it. Only Lu Miaoxiang and Zeng Yu knew this secret, and Yan Shifan was also aware of it.

After school this evening, Yan Shifang told Zeng Yu: "Zeng Sheng, I will go to Yichun Prefecture School to study for three days tomorrow. The 21st is the monthly exam. I will come back on the 22nd. You will teach the clan school on your behalf."

Zeng Yu asked: "Who taught the class in the past?"

Yan Shifang said: "No one used to serve him, and he had five days off."

Zeng Yu said: "Then let's have three days off, and the junior student talks for two days, so that the students will be happy and work and rest."

Yan Shifang laughed and said, "In the past few days they had been looking forward to me in Yichun every month. They weren't really willing to study. Well, let's have three days off."
