[Comprehensive] The number one cannon fodder

Chapter 395 Autumn Moon of the Four Great Talents

Su Xueyun and Chen Xiaosheng quickly found a house with a suitable location and size, rented it out and moved into a new residence. Since then, they have completely broken with Tang Bohu, and they no longer have to spend time with him.Of course, Zhu Xiaolian lived with their husband and wife, and they even packed up a guest room for Zhou Wenbin in the outer courtyard. The relationship between the four great talents today is not as good as in the original drama. After many things have changed, Zhou Wenbin and Tang Bohu have no chance. As friends, Wen Zhengming was only acquainted with each other, but he had a very good relationship with Chen Xiaosheng, so Chen Xiaosheng invited him to live in the outer courtyard of his home.

Zhou Wenbin has always been in a low mood, and Zhu Xiaolian was also influenced by him, and he didn't smile all day long.When everyone was eating together, no one was in the mood to talk and laugh, which made the atmosphere very dull.Su Xueyun looked at Zhou Wenbin, who was buried in his meal, and said, "We haven't told Qiuxiang when we moved here, I want to go to Taishi's mansion to find her later, see if I can see Taishi Hua, and mention Wenbin. "

Zhou Wenbin raised his head in surprise, froze for a moment, and quickly refused, "Qiuyue, don't worry about my affairs, Qiuxiang is still working in the Grand Master's Mansion, so don't let her be scolded. I have the result today because I am eager to take revenge and devoted myself to Zhu Zijian's family. It is my lack of vision that caused today's calamity. I have no one to blame. I'd better wait until I pass the Juren examination and take the scientific examination three years later."

Zhu Xiaolian said angrily: "Three years, who knows what will happen after three years? What if Zhu Zijian comes to play tricks again? He is the adopted son of King Ning, how can we fight against him? I blame him Zhu Zijian is too insidious, but he has a powerful father, I'm really mad!"

Chen Xiaosheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Sister, this seems to be about Wen Bin, why are you so angry?"

Zhu Xiaolian was taken aback, and said uncomfortably: "I... I am not worth it for myself. In order to let Zhou Wenbin take the scientific examination, I give him acupuncture every day. You also know that I have not been studying medicine with Master for a long time. Every time I give acupuncture I'm so nervous, I finally cured him now, but he can't take the exam, do you think I should be angry?"

Zhou Wenbin put down the bowl, lowered his head apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiaolian, for causing you to work so hard."

Zhu Xiaolian looked at him inexplicably, "Why are you apologizing? What does it have to do with you? It's all because of Zhu Zijian!"

Zhou Wenbin hurriedly said: "Oh, I said something wrong, don't be angry."

Zhu Xiaolian couldn't bear it and said: "I'm not angry with you, did your eye see me angry?"

Zhou Wenbin looked at her, picked up his rice bowl silently and started to eat.Zhu Xiaolian asked strangely, "Why are you silent all of a sudden?"

Zhou Wenbin hesitated and said, "I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing again."

Zhu Xiaolian slapped the chopsticks on the table, got up and said: "Wrong, wrong, when did I say you were wrong? Why do you love to take mistakes on yourself so much? You are so mad at me, I won't eat !"

Zhu Xiaolian turned around and ran away without a trace. Zhou Wenbin held the rice bowl, neither eating nor not eating, with a look of bewilderment.Su Xueyun and Chen Xiaosheng laughed out loud, seeing Zhou Wenbin's dazed look, Chen Xiaosheng laughed and said, "Usually you are smarter than anyone else, why are you like a piece of wood in front of Xiaolian?"

Zhou Wenbin said: "I have always felt guilty about the previous portrait, and I am very grateful to Xiaolian for my acupuncture treatment, so I wanted to do more for her to make her happy. Who knew I was so stupid, I always make her angry because of me. I don't want to say it on purpose, but I always say the wrong thing. Then I think I will stop talking, but if I don't speak, she seems to be even more angry. Zhishan, do you know Know what Xiaolian is angry about?"

Facing Zhou Wenbin's curious eyes, Chen Xiaosheng really didn't know what to say. He said jokingly: "It's actually very simple. When Xiaolian scolds someone, you just need to go along with her and scold with her." , don’t always think it’s your fault, she’s angry at others, not you.”

Zhou Wenbin nodded half-understood, "Oh, I see. Should I go find her now? She was so angry with me that she didn't finish her meal, and she'll be hungry later."

Su Xueyun smiled and said: "I'm done eating, I'll go and bring her some food. You don't have to worry about Xiaolian, she's fine, you two eat slowly."

Su Xueyun filled a little of each dish and sent it to Xiaolian's room for her to eat.Xiao Lian is not an awkward girl herself, so she ate well without saying anything.Su Xueyun told her about Zhou Wenbin's bewildered appearance, Xiaolian muttered "idiot", but the corners of her mouth curled up.Su Xueyun could clearly see the mutual attraction between the two of them, but she didn't say much to break the window paper. The wine brewed naturally is only fragrant, but the taste is not the same after adding a catalyst, and the relationship is the same, Su Xueyun It will only escort them, and will not do anything else.

Afterwards, Su Xueyun changed into a slightly plain attire. The materials and jewelry were simple but not cheap, which on the contrary highlighted her temperament.She didn't let anyone else accompany her, she brought a basket of fruit by herself, and arrived at Grand Master Hua's mansion when he returned from court.

Su Xueyun stood in front of the door and said politely to the porter, "Please tell me that I am Qiuxiang's sister, and I am here to deliver something to her."

The concierge saw her so shocked that his eyes almost fell out, "You, you are sister Qiuxiang's sister? I am not dazzled, am I? How can I look so similar? Could it be sister Qiuxiang that you deliberately changed your clothes to play with me? right?"

Su Xueyun smiled lightly and shook her head, "I am indeed Qiuxiang's sister, you will know the truth if you call Qiuxiang out."

At this time, Grand Master Hua's sedan chair stopped at the door, and seeing Su Xueyun standing there, a servant rushed over to ask what was going on, then looked at Su Xueyun twice, and ran back to the sedan chair with surprise to report to Grand Master Hua.

Su Xueyun stepped aside to make way for them, bowing her head slightly to be very polite.Grand Master Hua got out of the sedan chair, walked up to Su Xueyun, looked at her and said, "Are you Qiuxiang's twin sister?"

Su Xueyun blessed her body, bowed her head and said: "The woman pays her respects to Taishi Hua. The woman is indeed Qiuxiang's older sister. Because she changed her residence, she came here today to inform Qiuxiang of her new residence, and brought some fruits along the way."

Master Hua stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes and said, "I heard from Qiuxiang that you gave her 1000 taels of silver to redeem her body? It seems that your family is in a good position. If so, why haven't you looked for Qiuxiang in the past ten years? Now you are with Qiuxiang Recognition, is it really a chance encounter on the street?"

Su Xueyun smiled slightly, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "The woman has never given up looking for Qiuxiang, but she has been looking for it in the south of the Yangtze River. It was not until a few days ago that the woman went to Beijing with her husband to rush for the exam, that she happened to meet Qiuxiang. It seems that my parents are in heaven. There is a spirit, bless our sisters reunion. Now the women's life is really good, and the husband's family is also kind, so I hope to redeem Qiuxiang's body so that our sisters can be reunited, and let me be a good sister before Qiuxiang gets married, and make up for one or two .”

Grand Master Hua pondered for a moment, looked Su Xueyun back and forth with scrutinizing eyes, and finally said: "You come in with me."

Su Xueyun lowered her head and hooked her lips, and replied: "Yes, Grand Master Xie Hua."

Su Xueyun followed Grand Master Hua all the way into the Grand Master's mansion, without looking around, nor did she show any curiosity.Hua Taishi's face loosened a little when he saw it, and finally he was not so serious.

Mrs. Taishi has received the letter, and came up with Qiuxiang and Chunxiang.

Su Xueyun said blissfully, "The folk woman has seen Mrs. Grand Master."

Taishi's wife smiled and said: "There is no need to be so polite, the people in our Taishi's residence are very kind, you can just call yourself 'I'."

Su Xueyun replied: "Yes, ma'am."

Mrs. Taishi and Taishi Hua sat on the main seat together, and then looked at Su Xueyun and Qiuxiang curiously. Seeing that they looked exactly the same, she said in surprise: "Twins are very rare. Sisters like you both grow up together." It's even rarer to be so good-looking as an adult."

Su Xueyun looked at her face, with a flash of intimacy in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, that's ridiculous, our appearance is nothing to mention in front of Madam."

Mrs. Taishi laughed happily, "You girl can really talk, and you have a good eye. When I was young, all the princes in the capital..."

"Cough, cough..." Taishi Hua suddenly choked on the tea, frowned and looked at Mrs. Taishi, and scolded, "What are you talking about? Miss Qiuyue came to Qiuxiang for a serious business, let them talk about it first."

Mrs. Grand Master stood up and patted Grand Master Hua on the back, and smiled at Su Xueyun: "Yes, I should let you have a good talk, Qiuyue, what do you want to say to Qiuxiang?"

Su Xueyun smiled and said: "Actually, there is nothing important. It's just that when we first came to the capital, we lived in the Liuyi Guild Hall. After meeting Qiuxiang, I thought I should have a place of my own, so I rented a house. Now the house has been tidied up. , let me tell Qiuxiang, lest she go to the Liuyi Club and find me, and go the wrong way.” Su Xueyun passed the fruit basket in her hand forward, “I also brought these fruits from Suzhou. It’s not a rare thing, but I picked it from the deep mountains with my own hands. What’s rare is that it’s still fresh, so I’d like to bring it to the grand master and his wife to taste.”

The grand master's wife didn't care much at all, is there anything to eat in the grand master's mansion?Unexpectedly, when her eyes fell on the fruits in the basket, she found that each of them was more beautiful than the other, with well-proportioned shapes and bright colors, which made people move their index fingers.She couldn't help but feel a little strange, so Chunxiang brought the basket over, took an apple and said in surprise, "You picked these from the deep mountains, they look good, and they taste very fragrant, they seem really delicious."

Qiuxiang laughed and said, "Ma'am, why don't I take it down and ask the pomegranate to cut some, and serve it to the Grand Master and Madam to taste?"

Mrs. Taishi nodded and said: "Chop up some of everything. You don't want to go, Qiuxiang. Let Chunxiang go. You stay here with your sister."

Chunxiang took the order to go down, and the grand teacher's wife looked at Su Xueyun again and asked: "Qiuyue, I heard Qiuxiang said that you know martial arts? Since you dare to go to the mountains to pick fruits, it means that your martial arts are not low?"

Su Xueyun said modestly: "I practiced martial arts since I was a child, so I do know a little bit, it's not worth mentioning."

Mrs. Grand Master suddenly slapped the table and flew up, her palm directly aimed at Su Xueyun's face, "I'll know if it's worth trying!"

"Madam! Sister!" Qiuxiang exclaimed, covering her mouth and widening her eyes.

Su Xueyun turned sideways unhurriedly, raised her hand to block the Taishi's wife's attack, and pushed the Taishi's wife aside with all her strength.Mrs. Tai Shi made another move after failing to succeed in one move, repeating a series of moves, the moves were fierce but very majestic, like a general facing thousands of troops.Su Xueyun is not weak either, she can easily defuse every attack, and besides defending, she can also protect the Grand Master's wife from being too hard.

After a stick of incense, Chunxiang came back with the cut fruits, and saw them fighting so frightened that she almost threw the tray out!Su Xueyun rushed over to hold the tray with Lingbo microsteps, and let the Taishi's wife's attack fail. Seeing this, the Taishi's wife finally stopped with satisfaction, and stared at Su Xueyun with bright eyes and smiled: "Cheer up! I haven't seen you for many years." It's such a hearty fight with people! Qiuyue, you don't just understand martial arts, it's not an exaggeration to say that you are a master of martial arts. If you can go to battle and kill the enemy, you must be able to take the enemy's leader out of thousands of troops!"

Su Xueyun saluted and said with a smile: "Madam is too much of a compliment."

Taishi Hua stroked his beard, and said in disapproval: "Speak well, what kind of trick? I don't care how old you are, why don't you sit down!"

Mrs. Tai Shi tidied her hair, sat back to her seat with a smile and tasted the fruit, her eyes lit up again, "The fruit in the deep mountain is really delicious, really sweet and juicy. Master, come, you can taste it too, yes Come on, Chunxiang, ask the pomegranate to cut a plate and send it to the young master, let him rest a bit, don’t read all the time. And Qiuxiang also come to taste it, your sister picked it herself.”

Qiuxiang came back to her senses, still a little shocked, looked at Su Xueyun and then at Taishi's wife, Fushen said: "Qiuxiang was rude, it's because Qiuxiang didn't expect her sister to be so strong in martial arts, I hope Madam forgive me."

Mrs. Grand Master smiled and waved her hands, looking at Su Xueyun as if she was looking at her own daughter, "It's okay, I didn't expect Qiuyue to be so powerful, come on, everyone sit down and talk. Qiuyue, I heard that you came to Beijing to accompany Are you rushing for the exam? Are you from Suzhou? How sure are you that you will be able to go to high school this time?"

Master Hua frowned, and said, "The scientific examination is a test of every student's ability, and no information will be disclosed before the examination. How can her husband know how sure she is? Besides, students study to serve the country faithfully. , whether high school or not will not affect his heart to serve the country, how can he put his mind on the ranking of the exam?"

Mrs. Taishi gave him a white look, and said, "Oh, master, let's chat for a while, do you want to be so serious? You are tired after coming back from court, eat more fruit and drink some tea. Come, Qiuyue, let's Say ours."

Su Xueyun looked at Grand Master Hua, and said with a smile: "Among the students from Jiangnan who came to rush for the exam this time, four of them are known as the four great talents in Jiangnan. My husband is one of them, and my knowledge should be pretty good. I am ashamed, although my husband has dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, classics, and policy theory, but he is best at miscellaneous studies, which can be called "proficient". "

Mrs. Taishi asked with interest: "Oh? There is also a saying that you are proficient in miscellaneous studies? I have always heard that scholars attach importance to history books and scriptures, but I have never heard that they attach so much importance to miscellaneous studies. You are not afraid of wasting time and wasting learning these things. Do you have energy?"

Taishi Hua stroked his beard and said, "It's too difficult to use miscellaneous knowledge in the world. You should advise your husband to think more about serving the country, and be a useful person for the country and family, not a person who studies strange and ingenious arts."

Su Xueyun smiled and said: "I don't think so, to tell you the truth, the Grand Master and Madam, I accidentally got a strange poison when I wandered around the rivers and lakes, and even the genius doctor was helpless. The genius doctor finally developed the antidote and healed me. My husband does not know medical skills, but he knows what changes will occur when different things are mixed together. He didn’t think it was useful in the past. At most, he just had to be careful when eating. Don’t eat food that is incompatible with food. I didn’t expect it to save my life this time. In addition, some methods of farming, methods of casting weapons, gunpowder, etc., weren’t they also invented from miscellaneous learning at the beginning? So I thought, Any knowledge in this world is useful, it just depends on what people use it for. Doing useless things is killing time, doing useful things is a rare treasure.”

Grand Master Hua and his wife's expressions changed, and they were speechless for a moment. They looked at each other and put away the smiles on their faces.Qiuxiang looked at Su Xueyun a little nervously, and winked at her to tell her to stop talking, but she didn't dare to speak casually in front of the grand teacher and his wife, her face turned pale with anxiety.

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Taishi sighed and said, "Qiuyue, can miscellaneous learning really be so useful? But if you want to invent something useful? I think most people in this world who love miscellaneous learning and calligraphy will end up It’s mediocrity, instead of wasting your mind on it, you might as well read some books, at least if something happens, you won’t starve to death, right?”

Grand Master Hua snorted coldly, and said: "If you don't read good books, but want to learn these crooked ways, you will be a scholar in vain!"
