[Comprehensive] The number one cannon fodder

Chapter 394 Autumn Moon of the Four Great Talents

Tang Bohu accepted the bet without hesitation, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "Everyone here is a witness, so don't deny it!"

Su Xueyun snorted coldly, "You should say this to yourself, Zhishan, let's go."

Chen Xiaosheng glanced at Tang Bohu, and left with Su Xueyun.Tang Bohu walked side by side with them not to be reconciled to being late, and everyone walked to the only way for Taishi Hua to go home.They have already been in the capital for a few days, and they have already figured out the location of the imperial palace and the residences of important officials, so it is not clear the direction at this time.

The closer to the street that Hua Taishi must pass, the more people there are on the street, and both sides of the street are also crowded with down-and-out scholars with wooden signs. It's for one thing - to make a record.

Tang Bohu felt a little uneasy in his heart, and felt it was unbelievable. He couldn't help but whispered to Lu Zhaorong: "This is too exaggerated! Are so many people squatting here just to ask for a first-rank official to make a record?"

Lu Zhaorong sighed, and said worriedly: "Bohu, you were so impulsive just now, what kind of bet should you bet on? Isn't it good for everyone to be together happily? Why do you make it like this? It doesn't matter who wins, you or Qiuyue. We can no longer be friends in the future.”

Tang Bohu's heart was disturbed, and his eyes subconsciously fell on Su Xueyun, but he saw that Su Xueyun and Chen Xiaosheng were talking and laughing, as if they didn't take the bet to heart at all, they were just wandering around.He had never seen that kind of friendly smile on Su Xueyun's face. He always thought that the autumn moon in Changlefang was like the bright moon high above, which could not be reached or touched. It was because Tang Bohu was the number one talented person in the south of the Yangtze River. Opportunity wins hearts.But now, Su Xueyun belittled him to nothing. Instead, he regarded Chen Xiaosheng as the best man in the world, made soup for him, put away his indifference and smiled.Why?Why can't he even get a look from Su Xueyun, but Chen Xiaosheng can get everything from Su Xueyun?

Tang Bohu withdrew his gaze, clutched his fan tightly, no longer in the mood to speak, only felt that his heart was blocked by something, and he couldn't even breathe smoothly.

Zhu Xiaolian walked behind, looked at Su Xueyun and Chen Xiaosheng, then at Tang Bohu, nudged Zhou Wenbin with a worried elbow, and whispered: "Do you think my sister-in-law can win?"

Zhou Wenbin looked at both sides of the street, and replied: "I should be able to win. There are so many people who want to request a record, it is definitely not wise to stop the sedan chair, and Qiuyue never does anything that is not sure, don't worry. Speaking of it It's all my fault, if it wasn't for me, they wouldn't bet, sorry."

Zhu Xiaolian looked at him speechlessly, "What's none of your business? Why do you apologize? It's just that bastard Tang Bohu making trouble for nothing. I think he has a grudge against my sister-in-law who taught him that day, so he deliberately provoked trouble today. Just now My sister-in-law's slap was really good, I wanted to slap him a long time ago, he deserved it!"

After getting acquainted with them, Zhou Wenbin also knew about her engagement with Tang Bohu. Seeing Zhu Xiaolian's angry look, he couldn't help asking: "Are you still angry? If you want to beat him, I can help you. "

Zhu Xiaolian blinked, not understanding, so she said: "Why do you help me with this kind of thing?"

Zhou Wenbin said: "Oh, because you helped me heal my arm, I have always wanted to repay you, but there is no chance, so if you want to do anything that is inconvenient, you can ask me to do it."

Zhu Xiaolian thought for a while, then nodded and said: "That's fine, we will call you if we have something to do in the future, you are not allowed to shirk."

Zhou Wenbin quickly waved his hands, "No, I won't evade. Well, actually..."

Zhou Wenbin wanted to say something else, but Zhu Xiaolian suddenly tugged at his sleeve, stared at the front and said, "Hey, do you think that is Grand Master Hua's sedan chair? It looks so majestic!"

Zhou Wenbin looked forward and nodded, "Yes, it is Taishi Hua's sedan chair. Someone really went to stop the sedan chair. That person looks so pitiful, much worse than me."

Several people saw Hua Taishi's sedan chair, Su Xueyun asked them to stand on the side of the road so as not to bump into Hua Taishi.The down-and-out students on both sides of the street were very excited when they saw the sedan chair. One of them, who had a leg injury and was on crutches, jumped in front of the sedan chair and stopped the sedan chair, making the others regretful.

The student on crutches cried out miserably: "Teacher Hua, I beg Grand Master Hua to do the posthumous work for the students. The students serve the country wholeheartedly, but they failed to pass the exam because of an accident. If the students come to high school in Japan, they must serve the imperial court with all their heart." Ah, Grand Master..."

Grand Master Hua came out of the sedan chair, Tang Bohu glanced at Su Xueyun, and said with a smile: "Teacher Hua has high morals and prestige, and always values ​​talents the most. Today, this dear friend sincerely asks for help. Grand Master Hua will definitely help him. Look , Grand Master Hua will come out now?"

Su Xueyun said indifferently: "It's too early to say."

Tang Bohu shook his head and smiled, shook off the folding fan and fanned it lightly in front of him, "Don't be stubborn, if you admit defeat now, I can take it as a bet that it doesn't exist."

Su Xueyun frowned slightly, if the men and women were unmarried, she would have suspected that Tang Bohu was flirting with her.Su Xueyun ignored him, and walked directly to the other side of Chen Xiaosheng to distance himself from him.

Tang Bohu slammed his fan away, and the joy of winning the bet disappeared instantly.

At this moment, Taishi Hua stroked his beard and said: "The imperial court opened Enke to recruit talents. But the state owns the state law, the family has family rules, and Enke naturally has Enke's rules. If you are not qualified, you must be disqualified." The reason is that the record is taken from the meaning of "the legacy of the sea", and the opportunity is extremely rare. If everyone comes to the old man, and the old man will do the record for him, then what is the use of the rules? The old man hates walking without rules. A crooked person, because you want to serve the court wholeheartedly, this time you will hit [-] slaps, as a lesson, remember to behave honestly and well-behaved in the future. Come here, take it down."

The face of the student on crutches changed drastically, and he shouted in panic: "Grand Master, please forgive me! Grand Master, the student just wants to serve the country, Grand Master, Grand Master!"

The two servants involuntarily dragged the student on crutches to the side of the street, and began to beat him in public, regardless of whether he was disabled or whether he could bear it.And Taishi Hua had already got into the sedan chair, got up the sedan chair and went home.

Tang Bohu stared dumbfounded at the beating of the student on crutches, and heard some people commenting that this student is already very good, and the healthy student who blocked the road last time almost had his leg broken, because Taishi Hu was very angry when he said that his hands and feet were healthy but he didn't think about the right way , ordered people to lay a heavy hand.He glanced at Zhou Wenbin. If Zhou Wenbin had been asked to stop the sedan chair as he said before, Zhou Wenbin might have broken his leg now!

Lu Zhaorong grabbed his sleeve, "Bohu, are you okay?"

Tang Bohu couldn't understand and said: "What's wrong with that student? Even if Hua Taishi doesn't want to help, just ignore him? Why did you beat him? And beat him so hard, doesn't the dignified Taishi even have any compassion? ?”

Lu Zhaorong looked around nervously, pulled him hard, and said, "Bohu, be careful what you say! If it reaches Master Hua's ears, no one will be able to protect you. This is the capital city, so it's best to be careful in everything."

Zhu Xiaolian snorted triumphantly, and said: "I would like to accept the bet, don't say something useless here, someone just seemed to ask us all to be witnesses, didn't they forget what the bet is so quickly?"

Thinking of the bet, Tang Bohu's face turned blue and then pale, and he said bravely, "I would like to admit defeat! I, Tang Bohu, can do what I say, Qiuyue, and I'd like to pour tea and apologize to you."

Su Xueyun didn't even look at him, and said calmly: "I'm not interested in drinking your tea, I just hope you remember what the bet is, from now on, don't let me see you again."

Tang Bohu's mind was buzzing, and he looked at Su Xueyun incredulously, "Are you really going to do this terribly? Not willing to relax at all?"

Su Xueyun said: "It's you who said that my beauty is a disaster, and you are the one who made the bet. Don't go back on your word now. To me, the bet is not important, the important thing is that I don't want to see you."

Tang Bohu was greatly shocked. He remembered the appearance of Su Xueyun vomiting blood because of him on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and compared the appearance of Su Xueyun who hated him so much, it was two extremes.But all of this was caused by himself, and by the time he wanted to save her, she had already become someone else's wife!

Tang Bohu had nothing to say, with a painful look on his face, he stepped back and said, "Okay, I will do what I say, and I will never appear in front of you again. I will avoid wherever you are."

After Tang Bohu finished speaking, he felt empty in his heart, turned around and left in a daze.Lu Zhaorong hurriedly chased after them worriedly, and the two quickly disappeared at the corner of the street.

Wen Zhengming hesitated and said, "Is this not good? Bohu...in fact, he has no evil intentions."

Su Xueyun let out a sigh of relief, and said: "Good intentions may not necessarily lead to good deeds, and there is nothing wrong with that, but if you refuse to change your life and death, and do bad things with good intentions all your life, it is more terrible than having bad intentions."

Wen Zhengming nodded half-understood, "What you said seems to make sense, but we have been brothers for so many years, can't we really ignore him? It's better to let him change the bad things. I believe his parents are too. I hope he can grow up, Qiuyue, you are so smart, is there any way you can help Bohu? If he changes, you won’t be so annoying when you see him in the future, right? And Lao Zhu, you always have a lot of ideas , you also help to think of a way, if this continues, we really can't be brothers. I don't want to see everyone part ways after more than ten years of relationship!"

Zhu Xiaolian said unhappily: "You also saw his appearance just now, obviously he was the one who made trouble for no reason and insisted on betting with my sister-in-law, and he was the one who offered tea and apologized first, and even clamored for us to be his witnesses, didn't he just Do you think you are sure to win? He looks down on women at all, and thinks my sister-in-law doesn't know as much as he does. See how proud he was when he saw Taishi Hua get off the sedan chair? He also told my sister-in-law to admit defeat and don't care about what she said, isn't he just Do you want to win the bet to prove that you are right? In the end, he lost and said that my sister-in-law did a great job. She looked like everyone was bullying him. Is he right? Do we all owe him?"

Wen Zhengming insisted: "Xiao Lian, I know he is wrong, but we grew up together, we should face difficulties together, right?"

Zhu Xiaolian's eyes turned red all of a sudden, tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked up and said, "Are you saying that I'm unkind and can't share weal and woe? We grew up together, and Tang Bohu kept saying that he treats me like a younger sister. But has he ever worried about my feelings? Although my story has not been spread, Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Tang have already told people they know well. As a result, Tang Bohu threw me aside with one word, and he has not said a word until now. Explain, do you know how strange those people's eyes are when they see me? Has Tang Bohu considered me as a friend who grew up together? Who is the one who disregards friendship? It's him, not me!"

After Zhu Xiaolian finished speaking, she turned around and ran away. Su Xueyun was just about to move when Zhou Wenbin caught up.She hesitated for a while and decided not to pursue her. With Zhou Wenbin around, she believed that nothing would happen to Zhu Xiaolian.

Wen Zhengming looked at Zhu Xiaolian's back at a loss, and said incoherently: "I, I, I didn't mean to accuse her, she misunderstood me. Old Zhu, Qiuyue, you believe me, why do I miss her so much? I know Bo Tiger is wrong, I just want to help my brother, what should I do, Xiao Lian must be very sad," he beat his head hard, and said angrily, "It's all my fault! I really can't speak, how can I tell Did Xiaolian make you cry?"

Chen Xiaosheng shook his head and sighed, "Zhengming, to be honest, it's not that I, Laozhu, disregarded the brotherhood of more than ten years. In order to persuade his father to let him take the scientific examination, Bohu casually made a concubine. I hurt Qiuyue and Xiaolian. One of them is my wife and the other is my sister. You know how important they are to me. If Bohu knows that he has made a mistake and corrects it, that’s fine. Don’t mention the past. Life goes on as usual. But he doesn't apologize to my sister, and always wants Qiuyue to give him a good face. When others don't follow him, he says that others don't care about friendship. Is there such a thing in the world? Is it only Tang Bohu? Is the most intelligent person in the world? Only what he does is right?"

Chen Xiaosheng was silent for a while, and continued: "Zhengming, you said you would try your best to help Bohu get rid of his bad habits. I really tried my best. Qiuyue and Xiaolian have given him many opportunities. From the Mid-Autumn Festival to now, It's been a long time, but he is angry with us time and time again, and he even seems to be doing introspection. We still have our own lives to live, and he does this because he doesn't regard us as friends, and we can't always go smoothly Seeing him make himself unhappy, let me stop here. Today’s bet was proposed by Tang Bohu. I would like to accept the bet. Don’t get too close in the future. Naturally, there will be no more conflicts. In two days We will move out, so that Tang Bohu will not have any places where he is not free to come and go in the Six Arts Club, so as to avoid embarrassment for everyone to meet."

Wen Zhengming was surprised and said, "You want to move out? Is it because I said something wrong just now? I didn't force you to tolerate him, I... I don't know how to explain it, I really didn't mean it!"

Su Xueyun smiled at him, and comforted him: "Zhengming, don't blame yourself so much, it has nothing to do with you. There is a conflict between us and Tang Bohu, I know you have been difficult to do in the middle, you have done nothing wrong, after all Tang Bohu is your brother, and he has never hurt you. It is only natural that you want to help him. You don’t need to blame yourself. It is good for everyone that we move out, and I finally reunited with my sister, and I want to have my own residence , Redeem my sister as soon as possible and bring her to live together, plus there is Xiaolian, it is very inconvenient for so many of us to live in the Liuyi Clubhouse. Originally, Tang Bohu and I were not speculative, and there is no conflict if we don’t meet. Everyone is safe , the Enke exam is coming soon, try not to affect everyone's emotions, right?"

Wen Zhengming lowered his head, unable to hide his self-blame, and said, "Then you choose a place and call me, and I will help you move things."

Chen Xiaosheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Zhengming, don't think too much about it, we are always good brothers. After finishing the Enke exam, if you get good grades, you will be an official in the court. It doesn't matter where you are assigned. It’s up to us to decide, why not separate? Let’s start our respective lives earlier, for Tang Bohu, we just need to be clear of our hearts, after all, no one can be responsible for his whole life.”

Su Xueyun glanced at the direction Tang Bohu left, and said calmly: "Actually, he already has someone who can accompany him for the rest of his life, but it's a pity that he can't see it and doesn't cherish it, and ruined other people's sincerity for nothing."

Wen Zhengming followed her gaze as if realizing something, "You mean Zhaorong?"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Su Xueyun's mouth, "Who else is there besides her? Ever since she married Tang Bohu, she has been wholeheartedly taking care of her father-in-law and being filial to her in-laws, but Tang Bohu keeps saying 'in name only', when did he consider Zhaorong's feelings? I don't care about it, and I still treat him sincerely until now, but it's a pity that I don't know how much suffering I have to suffer when I meet such a person who doesn't know how to cherish."
