Chapter 19 The Scholars Dig a Pit

Following Fang Xing's decision, the Fangjiazhuang called for children and girls, and the dining place also lit torches. Those children were wandering around the big stove, and when Huaniang was not paying attention, they quickly stretched out their hands Go grab some pancakes.

"It's a crime! The food is so good, the young master is really stupid for reading!"

While nagging, Hua Niang pretended not to notice the little actions of the children, and just called for people to bring bowls of soup.

The broth is boiling hot, and there are some red peppers in it. After taking a sip, I suddenly feel hot all over my body, which is very comfortable.

What's more, there is a piece of fat meat in everyone's bowl, which is really a surprise!

Eating pancakes, drinking broth, and under the light of the torch, Fang Xing's reputation as a young master has been completely improved.

...

The whole Fangjiazhuang had a good night's sleep. The next morning, Fang Xing, who was having breakfast, saw Xin Lao Qi coming in.

"came back?"

Fang Xing asked in surprise.

Seventh Xin bowed his head and said, "Master, we came back last night, but it was a bit late, Ma Su kowtowed to you outside before going back."

"What are you knocking on your head!"

Fang Xing said it, but he was very happy in his heart.

This is the way to respect teachers!

Just as he was talking, Xiaobai came in at the door, "Master, Ma Su is here."

Ma Su walked in with a tired expression, first bowed to greet the master and the mother, and then talked about his exam situation.

Fang Xing waved his hand and said: "There is no need to say more about these, if it's up to you, you will be hit."

Ma Su took out the test paper he had written silently last night and handed it to Fang Xing, expecting Fang Xing to give his opinion.

Fang Xing didn't even look at it, and said directly: "Stupid essays are shackles, and the imperial examination is just a tool to change your background. Don't think that these things will play a role in your future life and work."

This is teaching, so Ma Su immediately bowed his head and agreed.

After Fang Xing finished speaking, he happily said to Xiao Bai: "Go, tell the young lady that we will continue digging holes today, but each person will be given an extra egg."

This was to celebrate Ma Su's return from the exam. Before Ma Su panicked, Fang Xing dragged him to the place where the pit was dug.

Along the way, you could see those farmers carrying the dug soil back, Fang Xing asked, "Ma Su, do you know what you can do with the soil?"

Ma Su shook his head, and said in a daze, "Teacher, I don't know."

Fang Xing shook his head and sighed softly: "You can't watch the sky from a well, and don't be like those rotten scholars. If you become that kind of guy who doesn't distinguish between five grains, the first thing I do is to expel you from the teacher's school, understand?"

Fang Xing has great opinions on Confucianism, even if he is also a beneficiary, he still does not change his original intention.

Ma Su bowed his head to be taught, but Fang Xing pointed to the front and said: "You go too, I don't want you to dig a hole, but knock the wall of the hole firmly, it will be no problem at all!"

"is teacher."

Ma Su took off his outer clothes obediently, took a wooden hammer from Xin Laoqi's hand, and went down to the bottom of the pit.

There were two big men at the bottom of the pit, and Ma Su, who was a little thin, caused a burst of surprise after going down. You know, ever since Ma Su woke up from apprenticeship, these farmers all felt that this kid was lucky.

The farmers' minds are very simple, but sometimes they will vent their mischief, so Ma Su is out of luck.

Fang Xing walked to the edge of the pit and looked at Ma Su below who was stubbornly beating the wooden boards on the pit wall with a wooden hammer. The expressionless Fang Jielun said, "Don't help him, what did others do? Whatever he does!"

Fang Jielun said with a trembling old face: "But young master, Ma Su is just a scholar!"

Scholars these days almost all represent the meaning of being powerless, and opening their mouths means being a person.

Fang Xing clapped his hands, looked at the increasingly scorching sun, shook his head and said: "Jade can't be crafted,

And I don't want him to have to rely on his master to do things when he becomes an official in the future. "

"Look closely at me."

After explaining, Fang Xing returned to the main courtyard.

Zhang Shuhui was planning the banquet for the evening, although Fang Xing's mouth was hard, she arranged a way to celebrate in private.

"Husband, one egg per person, this is a big deal!"

Eggs are a luxury these days. Farmers need to hatch them or sell them in the market in exchange for a little money to buy some for household use.

Fang Xing said disapprovingly: "After the silage fodder is built, let the farmers raise chickens, and every family will raise chickens."

As for the corn in the warehouse, Fang Xing was a little apprehensive, he was worried that this stuff would cause others to covet it.

There are also sweet potatoes, which can be planted in any land, and sweet potato vines can also be fed to pigs.

It's just that Fang Xing is afraid to take it out and try it, at least not until he feels safe.

Ma Su was working at the bottom of the pit, while the two big men beside him were talking in a strange way, while giving him the most difficult place to beat.

"Puff puff!"

The beating continued, and soon, Ma Su felt a pain in the palm of his hand, and he knew that it was a blister.

"A rotten scholar who doesn't distinguish between grains!"

Thinking of what the teacher said, Ma Su gritted his teeth and slapped the wall of the pit vigorously until lunch.

Today's lunch is very rich, and there are noodles.

Hua Niang fiercely asked those people to wash their hands so as not to dirty the dishes.

"And broth!"

As soon as the smell of meat wafted out, everyone gasped and waited in line for the food.

A large bowl of noodles is poured with broth, and then poured with a little oil and spicy peppers, and the farmers are all eating it.

Ma Su didn't want chili peppers, but Fang Jielun, the supervisor, said with a strange expression: "Xiao Ma, the young master said that you must eat chili peppers."

The great man said that it's not spicy or that, and Fang Xing deeply agrees, so he wanted to cultivate his disciple's taste.

Ma Su's palms were already scratched, and he tremblingly squatted beside the big bowl, watching the heat coming out of the bowl, his eyes were a little red.

But these days the teacher is God, you have to do whatever he tells you to do.

After eating the noodles, rest for half an hour, this is Fang Xing's rule.

Ma Su returned the bowl, and when Zhang Shuhui came, just as he was feeling a little sad, the farmers all lowered their heads.

"You child, why are you so careless?"

Zhang Shuhui asked Ma Su to open his hands, looking at the worn out blood bubbles, she couldn't help frowning and said.

"Teacher."

Ma Su's eyes became even redder, and he turned his head aside to prevent Zhang Shuhui from seeing his embarrassment.

"Hey! I don't know what your master thinks, but it's always for your own good."

While nagging, Zhang Shuhui disinfected his palms with a purple potion, and finally applied the ointment.

"Don't hold on if you can't stand it! Teacher's wife can help you."

Ma Su stiffened his neck and said, "No, teacher's wife, I can do it."

In one morning, Ma Su experienced a lot. Among these farmers, he was like an outlier, and outliers were often excluded.

Half an hour later, without being called, the farmers picked up their tools and continued to work, and Ma Su was among them, silently descending to the bottom of the pit.
