Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Chapter 28 Converging Edge
Douzi was an orphan, rescued by Xie Xiuwen on the road a few years ago, because he had nowhere to go, was young, and could read a few words, so Xie Xiuwen took him with him.

Grandma Xie made a big fuss about taking Dou Zi in. In the end, Grandpa Xie allowed Dou Zi to be Xie Xiuwen's book boy because of Xie's family's reputation.

Douzi was demoted to slavery after being a criminal. According to the law, he could not be released from slavery for at least three generations.

After Xie Xiuwen took him in, even though he had no monthly silver to take, at least he would not have to worry about food and clothing, and he didn't need to work hard, so life was much easier.

However, this time he came back to Mingshan Academy and was punished.

When Xie Xiuwen arrived at the clinic, Douzi's hands had already been bandaged.

No specific injuries could be seen, but the swollen fingers were enough to explain everything.

"Master, why are you here? The little one is fine, so I won't delay my work."

Xie Xiuwen saw that he was obviously injured, but he deliberately put on a smiling face when he replied, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Tell me what's going on."

Douzi hesitated for a moment, and replied evasively, only saying that he accidentally bumped into Fan Xiucai, so he was embarrassed.

What he said, he took all the faults on himself first.

How could Xie Xiuwen not understand his thoughts?
This is because I am worried that I will go to Fan Xing to ask for an explanation, and I don't want them to argue again.

Xie Xiuwen was angry, but there was nothing he could do!

Situation is stronger than people!

That Fan Xing's family was well-off, and he was a second-generation official, so he really couldn't afford to offend him.

A few people returned to the house with dejected expressions. Xie Xiuwen told Dou Zi to keep a good life and stop doing all the chores, and he didn't even need to do the shopping in the cafeteria.

"Master, then I am no longer a useless person. Don't worry, it is still possible for me to run errands for you."

Xie Xiuwen shook his head: "You just stay in the house and don't go anywhere until you get better. Since Fan Xing can punish you once, he can punish you a second time. We can't beat him, so we can only avoid him as much as possible."

Douzi also understands that the young master is weak now. Although he is a master of talent, [-]% of those who can study in Mingshan Academy are masters of talent, and the remaining [-]% ​​are sons of wealthy families. Sorry!
Wang Jin's family background is better than Xie Xiuwen's, but compared to Fan Xing's, it is still a level behind.

Xie Xiuwen and Wang Jin are good friends, and he knows Fan Xing's character, so after careful consideration, he decided to concentrate on studying first, and no matter whether it is in the quiz or the monthly exam, he should temporarily hide his edge.

What Douzi didn't know was that Xie Xiuwen was often bullied by Fan Xing in the school during the days when he was recovering from his injuries.

Of course, bullying among literati is not as rude as fighting.

Fan Xing is rich and powerful, and he always likes to be sought after by others. After studying in Mingshan Academy for two years, he naturally has a certain foundation. There are more than ten people in Class A alone who are his supporters.

Relying on this power, Fan Xing either sneered at Xie Xiuwen; or deliberately arranged for people to tease him in the cafeteria; or he deliberately arranged for people to make trouble for him when he was silently writing or writing articles.

Xie Xiuwen just pretended not to know all these things, and had no intention of complaining to Mr.

It's not that Xie Xiuwen has a good manner, it's because he knows the twists and turns, so what if he tells Mr.
I heard that there is a family member of the Fan Xing clan who works in the capital and is quite favored by the emperor, even the teachers of the academy did not dare to treat him too much.

Fan Xing originally thought that Xie Xiuwen was not pleasing to the eye, so he teased him several times. Seeing that he accepted everything without saying a word, it was like punching cotton, which made Fan Xing feel extremely boring, so he simply did Just ignore him.

Of course, the most important thing is that Fan Xing found that Xie Xiuwen's talent was only mediocre, and he should not be a threat to him, so he chose to let him go.

Wang Jin was also in Class A. After packing up his things that day, he asked Xie Xiuwen to go back to the dormitory together.

"Are Douzi's hands all right? I watched him sweep the yard this morning, and all the cloths on his hands were removed."

"Well, it's nothing serious. Fortunately, I didn't hurt any bones this time."

Wang Jin looked around and said in a low voice, "I see that Fan Xing seldom makes things difficult for you these days, so is it over?"

Xie Xiuwen shook his head, how could he guess what the young master of the aristocratic family was thinking?

Seeing that he was not interested, Wang Jin said again: "I heard that the head of the mountain will be back next month. The head of the mountain has been traveling for half a year, and I heard that the head of the mountain will consider taking in disciples when he comes back this time. Is Zicheng willing to fight for it?"

Xie Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, Xu Yuanqing, the head of Mingshan Academy, is not an ordinary person, he was once a teacher of the emperor!
Before the current emperor ascended the throne, he had been taught by him. After the emperor ascended the throne, Xu Yuanqing served as the emperor's teacher for another two years, and then he invited himself back to his hometown.

He was reluctant to let him go, and after several failed efforts to persuade Xu Yuanqing to leave, he had to let Xu Yuanqing go. After another year, he became the head of Mingshan Academy.

Xu Yuanqing's name naturally contributed to Mingshan Academy's detached status in Nanzhou Prefecture.

After Xie Xiuwen came back to his senses, he listened to Wang Jin rambling a lot, and he only occasionally nodded in agreement.

Do you want to be Xu Shanzhang's apprentice?

A flash of tenacity flashed in Xie Xiuwen's eyes. If he could become Xu Shanzhang's disciple, why would he still care about a small Fan Xing?

Not to mention how profound Xu Shanchang's own knowledge is, but how much advantage his students and disciples now have in courts and academies, this is no longer comparable to the Fan family.

Xu Shanchang officially accepted not many disciples, it is said that there are less than ten students, but there are probably tens of thousands of students who have been taught by him.

Such a powerful force, if he can cling to it, not to mention the smoothness of his studies in the future, even if he enters the court, it is equivalent to having an extra golden thigh!

Wang Jin was in high spirits, but he was self-aware of his own insecurities.

"Brother Zicheng, although I intend to fight, but to be honest, I can't learn as much as you. If you are willing to work hard, Xu Shanzhang will definitely take a fancy to you."

Xie Xiuwen had made up his mind, but he smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Brother Wang, don't make fun of me. Don't say anything else, just say how displeased Fan Xing in our class is to me. You know it too. If you find out that I want to compete with him for the title of disciple, I'm afraid I will have no place to stay in Mingshan Academy."

Wang Jin choked, his face changed slightly, he had forgotten about Fan Xing.

"Let's see, I have heard that Mr. Xu Shan is knowledgeable, and he is upright and virtuous, and the disciples he accepts pay more attention to his character. Zicheng, you and I are both interested in the township examination next year. It would be great if you can get his advice. "
