"With such a good opportunity to study, he..."

Ye Xiaotian couldn't help thinking of when he was a child, his father who was a jailer would often take him to the sky prison, and the family couldn't afford teachers, so he used the opportunity of running errands for the prisoners to ask them to teach him how to read from time to time. few words. Now that this clown has such a good opportunity, he tries his best to play truant.

"Poor parents in the world..."

Ye Xiaotian sighed inwardly, and asked, "By the way, Tycoon, why did your classmates fight?"

The tycoon said: "Speaking of this matter, it's time to blame Gu Jiaoyu."

Ye Xiaotian asked strangely: "What did Gu Jiaoyu do?"

The tycoon said: "Today, Gu Jiaoyu talked about 'rituals'. When it comes to rituals, the most basic rituals are of course ethics. There are no less than dozens of tribes in the local area, and the customs and habits of different tribes are different. Some tribes have different wedding customs. It’s weird, like a daughter married to an uncle, a granddaughter became a daughter-in-law, a cousin married a nephew, a daughter married a brother-in-law, and two sisters married into the same family but became aunts and nieces. Very, I can’t tell at the moment.”

Ye Xiaotian smiled wryly and said, "I have already made it very clear with one step."

The tycoon spread his hands and said: "Therefore, some tribal children who did not have such marriage customs laughed at the tribal children who had such marriage customs for being rude and cohabiting. Those tribal children who were ridiculed would not let it go, so they fought. "

Ye Xiaotian scratched his head when he heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, if he was really asked to solve this matter, he really didn't know how to proceed. If it is a big taboo to laugh at others like this, I'm afraid this matter is really not good.

As soon as the tycoon raised his head, he suddenly said happily: "Ah! Tao Siniang is here!"

Ye Xiaotian raised his eyes, and saw a little woman in her thirties, wearing a light green skirt with lotus-colored narrow sleeves, and the lace at the collar of the collar was worn and white, and the skirt was also washed. Some lost their color. Although the clothes are a bit shabby, this woman is quite pretty, and her dress is also very decent, clean and generous.

Seeing Daheng Luo from a distance, the little woman with a food box hurried forward to meet him, saluted Daheng and said, "Master Daheng, why did you leave the county school? If you let the master see you, what should you do?" scolded you."

The tycoon waved his hands triumphantly and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I specially brought this official today... You are Dian Shi, right? Take this Ai Dianshi to see my father, I have something to talk about, why would Dad scold me? , you have to be reasonable as a father."

Tao Siniang said in embarrassment: "But... the slave family has already brought food for the young master."

The tycoon said: "It's okay, give it to your man, well, you brought him food, I'm afraid he can't eat it alone. Come on, you eat with him, don't come back in a hurry, anyway, the mansion also eats food." Nothing important."

Tao Siniang said: "Yes, the servant is leaving."

Tao Siniang bowed to Luo Daheng and saw Ye Xiaotian walking with Luo Daheng, so she gave him a little blessing. Ye Xiaotian glanced at the back of this woman with bound feet, and said to Luo Daheng: "Listen to what you said just now, this little woman's husband works in the county school? Is it a helper for the county school?"

The tycoon smiled and said: "No, no. Her man is also a student of the county school, and he is the only student in the county school who enjoys the treatment of lin rice. He has to be taught and taught. There is no doubt that a Juren can be selected in the examination.

Her husband's name is Xu Boyi, he is an idiot, and he is not good at housekeeping, so his family background is extremely poor. Lin Mi of the county school was often in arrears, and it all depended on her wife to manage inside and out, earning money to support the family for him to study. She is good at making sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, but it is better to be a cook in my house than to show her face on the street.

well! I really don't know what's so good about reading. I just chew on it, but he likes it. If I also like reading as much as he does, my father will not know how happy he will be, and he won't pick my nose and eyes at me all day long. "

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "Actually, you love reading very much now, and you are even more bookworm than Xu Boyi. The school hall is like the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period. Aren't you just reading like no one around?"

Luo Daheng laughed when he heard this, Ye Xiaotian also laughed, and just as the smile came to his cheeks, he suddenly thought of something: "Tao Siniang is Xu Boyi's wife? That little witch fan is completely obsessed with Xu Boyi, look She has a lot of background, and it is really unexpected to condescend to a married man."

Ye Xiaotian didn't know that Zhan Ning'er fell in love with Xu Boyi at first sight, she didn't know his details at all, and she thought that this girl knew Xu Boyi's family affairs like the back of her hand. There are too many weird customs in this place, which cannot be guessed by common sense, so he didn't think much about it.

Luo Daheng suddenly pointed forward, and said happily: "My house is here, ha, my father is seeing off the guests."

Ye Xiaotian was taken aback for a moment, he wanted to go to Shi's house first, but his thoughts were a little confused by this strange behavior along the way, so he came to Yuan Hong's house first. Just come, if you always want to ask him, it's the same if you visit Yuanwai Hong first.

Ye Xiaotian took a closer look, and saw a very imposing gatehouse with green bricks and plastered floors, white walls and black tiles, it looked like a wealthy family. In front of the door, there were several servants standing sideways, and a middle-aged man in a coat with copper coin patterns was saying goodbye to one of them.

The man boarded a carriage and bowed his hands to Yuanwai Hong again, and the groom drove away. Hong Yuanwai counted the rosary beads and turned around. When he saw Luo Daheng, the smile on his face suddenly faded, and his eyes widened. Luo Daheng was probably often reprimanded by his father. Although he had a good reason today, he was still a little nervous when he stared at him.

The tycoon shrank his neck and slowed down, letting Ye Xiaotian walk in front. Yuanwai Hong still stared at his son with an unkind expression. Seeing the two getting closer, Yuanwai Hong suddenly changed his expression and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Ye Xiaotian was about to meet the ceremony, seeing Hong Yuanwai's appearance like this, he couldn't help being a little suspicious, and thought: "This Hong Yuanwai recognized me as Dian Shi?"

But he saw Yuanwai Hong passing him shoulder to shoulder, clasped his hands together to a wild monk, and saluted respectfully, then quickly took out some money, respectfully put it into the clay bowl, and saluted the monk again , Muttering in his mouth: "Amitabha, Amitabha."

The wild monk had an unshaven beard, hair half an inch long on his head, no ring scars, and was wearing a tattered monk's robe, with a pair of old sandals on his feet, a begging bowl in one hand, and a bamboo stick in the other. The appearance is fierce, and there is no temperament of a monk.

The tycoon turned his head to Ye Xiaotian and said: "My father is a good Buddha, but when he sees monks, he must give alms respectfully and respectfully. The real monks and fake monks in the county will come to hang around in front of my father when they are short of money. You see, this guy looks like a monk. If you are a monk, I can tell at a glance that it is a fake, but my father is not enough to be fooled, fortunately he is still a businessman, what kind of eyes are there."

Ye Xiaotian looked him up and down, smiled and said: "Although you are wearing a student's robe, why have you ever been a real student? I'm afraid your father still believes that you have read some books in the county school. Hehe, He really doesn't look like that."

The tycoon said nervously: "Shh, I treat you as a friend, so don't talk nonsense in front of my father."

The tycoon hurriedly confessed a few words to him, and immediately walked forward with a smile on his face, and called affectionately: "Father,..."

Yuan Hong clasped his hands together to send the wild monk away, and when he turned around, his face was full of anger, and he didn't listen to him, so he shouted sharply: "Father! You naughty little beast, why did you leave the county school at this hour? "

The tycoon said: "No, Dad, listen to me..."

Hong Yuanwai pointed to his nose and shouted: "Listen to what you said! You carry the Four Treasures of the Study on your back every day, and you go out early and come back late, which looks like a book reader, but have you tried hard? I just asked Gu yesterday. Instructions, saying that you failed the quiz last month again!"

The tycoon poked his neck and said, "No, that day I ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that I bought on the street. I didn't want the cake to spoil. I had a stomachache, so I missed the exam. Now the family has hired a special sweet-scented osmanthus cake maker. Cook, I've never had a stomachache again."

Yuan Hong was dizzy with anger, and shouted: "Have you ever had a stomachache? Haven't you had a stomachache! Then you... have you improved your studies? Did you hand in blank papers in the quiz again?"

The tycoon blinked, and said to Yuan Hong, "Father, I haven't taken the exam this month."

Ye Xiaotian has been helpless for a long time when he met such a treasure as a tycoon, he knows the power of this senior hob meat, to be the father of this treasure, alas...

Ye Xiaotian looked at Yuanwai Hong's blue face and trembling lips with sympathy, and saw Yuanwai Hong trembling for a while, before saying: "You are lying like a fart now, I can't believe you. Bring your schoolbag, let me have a look." Are there any test papers?"

After finishing speaking, Yuanwai Hong snatched his schoolbag without waiting for the tycoon to agree. The tycoon stood up calmly and said, "Father, why don't you believe me? Can I lie to you? I really haven't taken the exam this month..."

Before the tycoon finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, staring at the things his father took out from his schoolbag with wide eyes. When Ye Xiaotian saw it, he broke out in cold sweat: "It's so big... a brick!"

Yuan Hong was stunned holding the brick. For a moment, he couldn't figure out why there was a brick in his son's schoolbag. Going to school...do I need this kind of thing? He did not learn to build walls.

The tycoon was also dumbfounded when he looked at the brick, and thought: "It's so strange, when did my four treasures of the study become bricks? It must be some bastard playing tricks on me again! But... how long has this brick been in my schoolbag?" I remember that the last time I opened my schoolbag seemed to be half a month ago, could it be that it was what I carried on my back from school to school since then... "

Hong Yuanwai looked into the schoolbag again without giving up, and there was nothing inside, and Hong Yuanwai gasped for breath, holding the brick, looking like he was about to slap his son on the head. With a stance, he asked aggressively, "What is this?"

The tycoon blinked his eyes, and his astonishment instantly turned into a blank expression: "Ah... this is... this is... this seems to be..."

Ye Xiaotian saw it, and if he didn't make a move, this little treasure would be beaten into a dog treasure by his father, Ye Xiaotian immediately coughed and stepped forward...
