"Ah?" Qin Xiao was stunned, how could this be possible?

"Master, please hurry up, the master is already waiting at the gate." The young man urged.

In this era, teachers were respected and education was valued, and the status of masters was extremely high. No matter how high the official position was, when you saw the master who taught you, you had to bow politely; if the master scolded you a few times, you had to accept the instruction obediently. Not to mention Qin Xiao

It is extremely disrespectful for a student who is still studying to ask his husband to wait at the door.

"Go quickly, go quickly." Qiu Min also reacted and urged. It is true that he has money now, but deep down, he is still the basket weaver Liba. The common people have a natural respect for officials and masters.

Qin Xiao was a little panicked. He quickly tidied up his clothes and hurriedly walked out. Speaking of which, he was not very good at studying and was not popular with his master. Now that his master suddenly came to visit, what good could happen? What's more, there was Qin Zhong.

Qin Xiao's scalp feels numb just thinking about it.

When I was approaching the gate, I saw a person in front of me, also hurriedly walking out the door.

"Second brother." Qin Xiao called out and quickly chased Qin Zhong.

"Brother." Qin Chong also received the notice and hurried out to greet him.

The two brothers were of different ages, but studied in the same academy, and were equally unpopular. At this time, they felt a bit like brothers in distress. They didn't bother to say anything more, and faced the door side by side.

There was a carriage parked under a tree not far outside the gate. The curtains of the carriage were raised, but there was no one inside. Qin Xiao was about to ask the driver when Qin Zhong touched his arm and turned around to see two people standing by the wall beside the door.

people.

The two men were about the same age, in their forties, with pale faces, and both wore green robes. One had his hands behind his back, the other was stroking his beard, and was looking at the couplet posted on the wall.

"Students Qin Xiao and Qin Chong have met the two masters." The two brothers bowed and saluted.

"Yeah." Mrs. Liu snorted lightly and ignored the two of them.

Master Liu was very stern. He usually kept a straight face and accumulated a lot of authority. At this time, Qin Xiao and Qin Zhong were bent over and did not dare to straighten up. They were careful when breathing. Qin Zhong was injured and his head was sore.

Han was still stiff and didn't dare to move a little, quietly waiting for the master's reprimand.

"Did Qin Zhong make this first couplet?" Fan Fuzi asked more gently.

After hearing the Master's question, Qin Chong immediately lost his face and said with grievance: "The students were forced to have no choice but to rack their brains to come up with this pair. Unexpectedly, they were not willing to answer the question, which embarrassed the Master."

"Humph." Master Liu snorted coldly and said angrily, "Does that mean you refuse to be right? That means you can't be right."

"Ah?" Qin Zhong looked confused.

"Haha." Master Fan chuckled and said, "It's good to be able to make such a pair."

"Qin Chong knows that he has made a big mistake and asks Master to punish him."

"You know you're wrong?" Master Liu said with a teasing look on his face, "Where's the pride of Kuixinglou? "

As soon as Master Liu finished speaking, Master Fan looked up to the sky and laughed so happily. Master Liu looked helpless, pointed at Master Fan with his hand, opened his mouth to say something, but shook his head, and actually laughed twice.

.

Qin Xiao and Qin Zhong's eyes nearly popped out. They couldn't believe it for a moment. Master Liu actually laughed. Didn't he come to ask for help? This plot was not right. Qin Zhong was confused for a moment.

Qin Chong had anticipated the Master's reprimand and had thought of a countermeasure. However, it deviated from what he had imagined. But it seemed that Urinating Kuixing Tower was not such a big sin.

But an unexpected good thing happened, so I devoted myself more and more to playing the role of a well-behaved student.

"The two masters are here to make Pengpi shine. Please come in and serve tea." Qin Chong took the opportunity to say.

"Isn't this very clever? Who said he was stupid?" Master Liu looked at Qin Zhong, then turned to Mrs. Fan and pouted, stepped up the steps first, and walked towards the door with his big sleeves fluttering. Master Fan was also surprised and deeply

He gave Qin Zhong a deep look, shook his head and laughed, then walked leisurely through the door.

After entering the gate, there is a screen wall. Behind the screen wall, there is an open patio. Going forward through the patio, there is the middle hall where Qin Yutian usually entertains guests. Qin Xiao and Qin Zhong greeted the two masters into the middle hall with great respect.

After the master sat down, the two brothers met again, served tea in person, and then stood aside to listen to the instructions.

"A gentleman is knowledgeable in literature, and if he makes an appointment with courtesy, he can stay with me." Master Fan took a sip of tea, gently put down the cup, and said, "Listen, Qin Chong used this sentence in the Analects to stop the door.

Someone who is causing trouble outside?"

"Students misuse the classics, please punish me, Master." Qin Chong admitted his mistake obediently.

"Punishment for what? It's very appropriate." Master Fan raised his eyebrows and his tone was three points higher. "You don't think about self-improvement, but invite blessings from God. You know this. If it were me, the scolding would only be more severe.

.”

Is this from a group of us? Qin Zhong was immediately overjoyed. Fan Fuzi's words clearly showed his disdain for the matter of worshiping Kuixing. Could it be that I was doing the wrong thing by urinating at Kuixing Tower? He was thinking about it in his heart, just listening to Liu

The master also said loudly: "If you are twenty years younger, I will go and take a dip."

Quality, quality, Qin Zhong is so sweaty. You are always a master, why are you so unreserved in front of the students? You are always making fun of me, how can the students accept this?

Not to mention Qin Zhong's slander, Master Fan also felt ashamed and panicked, and coughed hard.

"Ah, Qin Zhong." Fan Fuzi brought back the topic, "Do you have a second couplet for that pair?"

"Ah?" Qin Zhong blinked, should I have it? Or shouldn't I have it? "The student can't think of it."

To come up with the first couplet, you can say that you racked your brains and occasionally succeeded. This second couplet is also famous among later generations of couples. If you really say it, it would be very inconsistent with Qin Zhong's character. Since everyone has

If I'm not right, then I can't have a second couplet either. This is only fair. Isn't that what Confucianism means?

"Think about it, it's not easy to get the first couplet." Fan Fuzi was not surprised.

After sitting for a short time, the two concubines left the Qin Mansion. Qin Chong and Qin Xiao stood outside the gate until they could no longer see the carriage, then turned around and walked in. The arrival of the concubine conveyed a very important message, which greatly affected Qin Chong and Zikuixing Tower.

, not all voices of accusation. At least these two masters agreed.

"Second brother." Qin Xiao called Qin Zhong, "Something happened to the two people you saved."

"Huh?" Qin Zhong didn't react for a moment.

"Their home was burned down, my brother died, and my sister was taken away."

Qin Chong finally remembered that the reason why he pissed at Kuixinglou was that he could not see Yao Gang bullying others and rescued the poor little girl. Unexpectedly, the result was that his family was burned down, his brother died, and his sister was arrested.

"Who did this?" Qin Zhong clenched his fists fiercely.
