Jiaochu

Chapter 67 The fragrance of tea in Mingcuitang ([-])
After Master Xu came, Rong Jue wanted to see Yanfei make a fool of himself, so he brought up the subject of homework, "Master, you always teach students that homework should not be wasted for a day. If it is wasted for three or five days, it can be made up. If it is wasted for one day, it can be made up." For many months, I have really failed to live up to your daily teachings, Master."

Master Xu stroked his beard and nodded, looked at Yan Fei and said, "I'm going to ask a question. If you can answer it, you can stay. If you can't, let me hire someone else."

"Master, please speak." Yanfei cupped his hands and said.

Master Xu stroked his beard and said, "What is a sage?"

Yanfei replied: "If there is a way in the world, you will die for the way. If there is no way in the world, you will die with your life."

Master Xu stroked his beard and asked Yan Fei to sit down.

While he was reciting the article, Ye Xingye turned around and asked quietly: "Lingxi, what does Tao mean? I'm confused."

Ye Lingxi also quietly replied: "Ask Brother Yan later during dinner."

The clouds had thickened at noon, blocking the dazzling sunlight and casting a shadow on the ground. There were no dark clouds coming, and the sky was still clear and bright, comfortable and leisurely.

As soon as he left the study, Ye Xingye asked Yan Fei what he meant by those four sentences. Yan Fei replied that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, which Ye Xingye understood.

"I thought you knew how to wield a knife and a gun, but I didn't expect you still had some ink in your stomach." Ye Xingye carelessly went to pat Yan Fei on the shoulder but was dodged. He took back his hand and touched the back of his head to relieve the embarrassment. .

Ye Lingxi was about to talk to Yan Fei when he was interrupted by Zhao Ce.

"Hey, my legs can walk now. Is there any root cause of the disease?"

Yan Fei asked back: "Your head is so full of water, why haven't you seen a doctor yet?"

Zhao Ce was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened, "You're just out of your mind, your whole family is out of your mind -" Before he could finish the words, a fist hit Zhao Ce's face like a gust of wind, and he hit Zhao Ce in the face with just a thin line of separation. Yes, Yan Fei said in a cold tone, "Keep your mouth clean." A cold look swept over Zhao Ce, who was so frightened that his pupils dilated. After Yan Fei withdrew his fist, Zhao Ce still froze in place until he slapped it with one hand. Touched his elbow.

"Don't mess with Brother Yan from now on."

Ye Lingxi finished this sentence of persuasion with great sincerity, sighed and left.

"That boy Yan Fei has a bad temper. I think only someone with a good temper like Su Shi can bear it." Hu Yuhan came over and said with a smile, "There is a temple fair tonight, why don't we go and see it together?"

"I'm not going." Zhao Ce replied angrily and walked away in a hurry. Jin Yao and Chen Ping quickly followed. When Rong Jue was about to leave, Hu Yuhan reached out and hooked his shoulder, "I've been a little tight recently. I can't even go." We don’t even have money to go to the temple fair. We are all brothers, so if we have money, we should spend it together.”

Rong Jue: "..., I have no money, and my father won't allow me to receive banknotes this month. Let's wait until next month. I will have money next month."

"There are always bits and pieces of silver," Hu Yuhan said.

Rong Jue reluctantly took out the money bag, but Hu Yuhan took it away before opening it. Less than two seconds later, an empty bag returned to Rong Jue's hand.

Seeing Hu Yuhan's back strutting away, Rong Jue really wanted to buy a piece of tofu and smash him to death.

During the meal, Ye Xingye deliberately sat next to Su Shi, with Ye Lingxi on the other side. He felt very at ease in the middle.

When Zhao Ce came in, many eyes were focused on him. Seeing him walking towards the table where Yan Fei was sitting, they all waited to see what kind of sparks the two would create.

As a result, Zhao Ce just raised his neck and walked over with disdain, then walked around to Chen Ping's seat and sat down, a table away from Yan Fei.

Seeing Rong Jue's dejected look, Zhao Ce thought he was reluctant to let his eldest sister get married, so he explained: "It's time for men to get married and women to get married. Your eldest sister is already eighteen, so she's not too young."

Rong Jue: "..." Seeing Rong Jue's acquiescence, Zhao Ce hesitated and asked in a low voice: "Your eldest sister really wants to marry Liu Hong. To be honest, he is not a very good person."

An awkward smile flashed across Rong Jue's face, and he added: "The marriage is my father's. My father has always been very accurate in judging people. He said that Mr. Liu is a good man, so it is definitely not far behind. My eldest sister is also willing."

Zhao Ce nodded and said: "Although marriage is an important matter that is ordered by the parents, it still requires both people to be willing."

Rong Jue also agreed and said yes, thinking about whether he could get some money from his future brother-in-law.

At the table on the other side, Ye Xingye asked Yan Fei enthusiastically about the process of wiping out the water bandits. Yan Fei simply responded with one or two sentences, looking at his sleeves from time to time, looking a little absent-minded.

"Is that Li Sheng dead or alive? Did you find him later?"

"No."

"I think he is probably still alive. You think he has great martial arts skills, so why not become a water bandit? You can still make money as a bodyguard, and you can travel all over the country and see the world. Isn't he better than a water bandit?"

"do not know."

"That Li Sheng really knocked you into the water with a knife?"

"..."

With a snap, Ye Lingxi slapped Ye Xingye's back with his palm. After retracting his hand, he said matter-of-factly: "There are mosquitoes."

Ye Xingye believed it, looked back and asked, "Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

Ye Lingxi raised his hand and pointed at the window and said, "Fly out."

Ye Xingye didn't feel anything was wrong. When he was about to continue asking Yan Fei, he was patted on the back by Ye Lingxi.

"Flying back again." "Ah, flying out again."

"..."

During the afternoon class, Yan Fei was still a little absent-minded, glancing at his sleeves from time to time, as if he had a hot potato inside.

After finally waiting until school was over, Yan Fei did not clean up the desk first but went straight to Ye Lingxi's desk to let her out. Ye Lingxi followed Yan Fei out of curiosity to the sycamore tree behind the study room, where the green leaves were lush. Covering the heads of the two people, the light jumped in the tiny gaps, like twinkling stars, blinking their naughty little eyes, curiously peeking at the two little people under the tree.

After looking around, Yan Fei took out the "hot potato" from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Lingxi. He said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Uncle San asked me to give it to you. He said that girls like this."

"Thank you, Brother Yan."

Ye Lingxi took the delicate and compact rouge box from Yan Fei's hand, with a sweet smile on her soft face.Yan Fei turned his gaze slightly and raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

When the two walked out from behind the study, Leng Buding and Zhao Ce bumped into each other face to face. Zhao Ce grunted and walked away without looking back. Ye Lingxi didn't know whether he was waiting here or happened to pass by.

When he returned to the study, Ye Xingye asked curiously with a sour tone: "What are you talking about in secret?"

"Nothing." Yan Fei simply replied.
