Chapter 208 God just loves to torture people
Although there were not many people left in the academy, the news spread quickly. Yao Si and Qiu Zhan were captured, and the reason for being arrested was that they committed murder. The academy suddenly seemed to be in a panic.
The news soon changed from suspected murder to murder, and finally reached the ears of others. Yao Si and Qiu Zhan killed Xiong Jian, the eldest son of Zhan Shi Mansion. He failed to escape and was arrested and asked for a murder three days later.
"Young Master-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Qiu Ji could see that he had put some effort into dressing up today. According to Wei Zha's intention, his clothes finally turned away from the black and gray. He changed into a brocade robe embroidered with green bamboo and gold silk. He wore a dark green fox fur over it, with a jade belt, his eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were like stars, he looked tall and elegant, and he had a bit of a fairy-like smell.
He was holding a flute in his hand and several music scores were placed on the table. Yesterday he made an agreement with Yao Si that he would teach her to play the flute today.
Wei Zha was going to send a message to his young master to meet him, but on the way he heard the news that scared him. He went to Lantingyuan to find someone without believing in the evil. The girl inside said that she saw Yao Si being locked up and arrested.
Wei Zha finally didn't dare to delay any more, so he quickly spread his feet and ran to tell Qiu Ji.
"Young master, it's not good, something happened to Miss Yao------" Wei Zha shouted while running.
Qiu Ji sat upright in the pavilion. When he heard this, he stood up: "What's going on? Explain it clearly."
Wei Zha just regrets that God is so fond of trouble. His young master finally chose such a good place. There are rockery and water around him, the scenery is excellent, and the private will be very good. The young master could have been in harmony with Miss Yao, but who knew that there would be unexpected situations in the sky.
"On the way to invite Miss Yao, I heard a few people discussing that someone from Jingzhao Mansion wanted to arrest Miss Yao, saying that Miss Yao killed someone. No one was the one who wrote a letter to Lanting Courtyard and asked again. Unexpectedly, it was true. Miss Yao had been taken away------"
Before Wei Zha finished speaking, Qiu Ji had already walked out. In a hurry, the flute in his hand also fell off. He didn't notice it at all, but just walked forward as fast as he could.
However, after Chu Meng was taken away by Qiuzhan, he thought that Yao Si would not be able to escape, so he immediately went to Lanting Courtyard. However, he was still one step late. Before he arrived at Lanting Courtyard, he heard the discussions of the disciples on the road saying that Yao Si had been arrested and down the mountain. Chu Meng quickly went down the mountain again.
At that time, Xin's mansion was full of joy, and there were lights everywhere to prepare for the New Year. Xin Xiran came back last night and drank some wine. She slept for most of the morning today. After getting up, she opened the door and saw that red silk was hanging on the bonsai on the trees outside the yard.
The maids greeted him when they saw him, and Fumimi came out of the side room at the right time. "Young master, the master told me, if you wake up, go to the study."
"Study room?" Xin Xiran looked at him strangely: "The old man hasn't asked me to go to the study room for a long time, why did he suddenly ask me to go to the study room today?" He reflected on himself again and said that he hadn't done anything that made the old man unhappy recently.
Fushimi lowered her head and shook: "I don't know, the master only ordered this - but the master said, "Young Master, when will you wake up and go again? It doesn't seem to be an urgent matter. Many masters, please have dinner before going?"
After saying this, Xin Xiran really felt a little hungry. She asked the maid to serve the meal. She finished it slowly. After a long time of delay, she went to the study lazily.
"Dad------" he shouted when he entered the door, looking much more regular.
Xin Zhongqiao didn't even look at him, but he still buried his head in what was in his hands and said lightly: "Sit down."
Xin Xiran sat down as he spoke, waiting for the old man to say something, but after waiting for a long time there was no sound. He couldn't sit still, so he asked again: "Dad asked me to come to the study room, is there something wrong?"
Xin Zhongqiao paused for a while before looking up and asked, "What have you learned in the academy these two months?"
Xin Xiran said twice: "What else can I learn? It's the Chinese students who say "Alas."
Xin Zhongqiao glared at him and said sternly: "Nonsense, Mr. Jiang is one of the most respected people in the country. Have you learned these useless things all day long? What have you done in class?"
Xin Xiran pursed: "Old man Jiang is not a person who can't carve every day. The child also wants to study hard, but he is just a stubborn and pedantic old man."
"A bastard, you have been in school for more than two months, but you have not even learned the most basic respect for teachers and respect for the Tao. I am punished that you will copy the "Tao Te Ching" here three hundred times today. If you can't finish copying, you won't be able to step out of this threshold." Xin Zhongqiao slapped the table angrily.
Xin Xiran was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Dad, three hundred times, you can't copy it in a month."
"Then you stay here for a month, and when will you copy what you have before going out? Just sleep here at night, and I will ask my servants to bring you the food." After Xin Zhongqiao said that, he buried his head and continued what he was doing.
Xin Xiran knew that this time he was serious, so he quickly saved him and said, "Dad, I was joking with you just now. I have learned a lot in the academy. What I learned are good strategies to help the emperor govern the country and pacify the world.
There is an old saying: If you want to be virtuous in the world, you must first govern the country. If you want to govern the country, you must first manage the family. If you want to manage the family, you must first cultivate yourself.
Dad, the child understands, and the child also knows that Mr. Jiang is a respected person. In the future, the child will definitely bow three times to express his respect when he sees him."
Xin Xiran likes to make trouble on weekdays, but seems to be unreasonable, but in fact he is a mirror. Xin Zhongqiao knows that his son is a good jade, but he doesn't want to be polished, but this does not mean that his son is very bad.
If Xin Xiran had just said a few good words and coaxed him a few more words, his father wouldn't make things difficult for him, but it was not necessarily the case today.
Xin Zhongqiao was not moved by what he said, but instead said coldly: "Say one more sentence and copy it five hundred times."
"Dad-----" Xin Xiran was shocked and couldn't believe it, but the old man's attitude was firm.
He couldn't help but wonder, could the old man be angry? Could it be that someone in the court made him a fuss to make the old man feel embarrassed and that he would come to deal with himself now?
Although the old man spoiled him very much on weekdays, if he really had a bad face, he had to admit it temporarily.
After Xin Xiran struggled for a while, he thought that the hero would not suffer any loss before his eyes. He agreed and said that even if the old man was angry, he would not be angry for a long time. He would be able to endure it for a long time today and it would be the best tomorrow.
Thinking of this, he looked aggrieved: "The boy knows."
Xin Zhongqiao was satisfied now, and his expression on his face also eased a lot. He put the Tao Te Ching at his hand on the desk, "You copy it next to you, both paper, ink and pen."
Xin Xiran stepped forward in surprise, picked up the Tao Te Ching and flipped it out, and said suspiciously: "Dad, you have actually taken out the Tao Te Ching long ago. You have already decided to punish the child before you came, right?"
"Hmph, that's not that you know your little boy's virtue. I've asked someone to ask Mr. Jiang for his evaluation of you in only two words, which is a naughty one.
My son of the Grand Marshal, but I have to evaluate the word "stubborn": Your father's face has been thrown away by you. From now on, from now on, you can copy the Tao Te Ching here for me, five hundred times, if you can't finish copying, don't go out."
Xin Xiran's face suddenly became a mess and said, "I said it three hundred times just now."
"Six hundred times-----" Xin Zhongqiao's face became darker.
Xin Xiran suddenly shut up, took the paper and pen obediently sat down, biting the pen holder and not lifting the pen for a long time.
"Dad, do you want to be here too? Why don't I go to my room to copy and not disturb you from doing things."
Xin Zhongqiao did not compromise at all and said certainly: "It's right here, just under my nose, I see what other tricks you can play."
Xin Xiran rolled her eyes and bowed her head to copy books.
