Chapter 163, Different identities
According to their understanding, Mrs. Xiao is quite familiar with the shopkeeper of Laibin Restaurant, besides, he is the eldest son.

It's just that Tang Shan will never invite the shopkeeper of the guest restaurant. As a merchant, what poetry, ink, calligraphy and painting do he know?Besides the eldest son, they couldn't think of who else the fat woman could find to enter the academy!

Qiao Maoshu said: "Brother Zhi Xing, it's not that you don't know that the head of the mountain and the professors, the shopkeeper Yan Ziqin is the most frequent contact. Yan Ziqin is a good friend of the teachers of the academy. They often read poems, paintings and calligraphy together. The three of them For nearly a month, I have been studying a piece of calligraphy in Shopkeeper Yan's store, and no one has contact with outsiders!"

Speaking of that handwriting, the student of the Chi family said: "Speaking of that handwriting, I have heard that it is quite astonishing. Tang Shanzhang once said that it is exactly like Zhang Lao's handwriting, and it is better than Zhang Lao's writing!"

"Who's handwriting can be compared with the book sages hand-picked by the sages today? This is too mysterious!" Zhu Jiaxue asked.

Looking at the whole of Daqing, the calligraphy of Mr. Zhang from the Hanlin Academy is the best in the world. Which character can be compared with his old man?
Qiao Maoshu shook his head: "How could you and I have the opportunity to see that painting? It is said that it was secretly hidden by Shopkeeper Yan, and it is just waiting for Mr. Zhang to bring his disciples and grandchildren to compete this time. Mr. Zhang and the others are willing to bow down, this year's autumn painting and calligraphy exhibition will definitely be better than previous years."

When the students thought about it, their hearts surged. They have never produced a person with good calligraphy and painting in Yaoshan.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, you and I didn't have the honor to see that painting! Maybe tomorrow's calligraphy and painting exhibition will have a chance to enjoy it." The student of the Chi family said.

Zhu Zhixing smiled: "I don't care what words are not. No matter how good the handwriting is, I can't test Enke. What I care about most is the mother and son surnamed Xiao. When I sign the papers with them, I am afraid that there will be omissions and be caught. They took advantage of the loophole and made me kneel and kowtow in front of so many people, if my father knew about it, he would break my legs."

Thinking of this, Qiao Maoshu felt quite guilty, and he patted him on the shoulder: "If I hadn't brought you there, you wouldn't have gotten involved in this matter!"

The student of the Zhu family said: "Never mind your business, he is just a stubborn person, you can talk about him, just show off for a while, why bet with a village woman, even if he can't come to the academy, you bet with this kind of person , I don’t think you’ve lowered your status. You’re a child. You’re a student who’s going to be a scholar this year. When she kneels down to the magistrate in court, you’re standing. She’s a lot shorter than you. As for betting with this kind of person ?”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhixing nodded again and again, yes, what was wrong with him back then, how could he bet with a village woman, and even signed the paper, fortunately, this woman was just talking big talk, she had no ability to enter the academy, otherwise He would really be ashamed.

"My brother's lesson is that you shouldn't argue with fools! You should have listened to Mao Shu!"

Qiao Maoshu looked guilty: "No matter what, I will definitely not let you kneel to him. Qiao Hong is not worthy of letting you kneel. He is almost as good as kneeling to you!"

"Oh, I heard that Master Hou has returned to Beijing, and I'm afraid he won't come back for a year or so. This year, the prince will come to the academy as the prince's mansion. If the woman doesn't come with the prince, she will definitely not appear in the academy. The prince should talk more and see the situation?" said the student of the Chi family.

The other three nodded to each other, that's right, as long as there is no one around Shizi, they can keep their hearts in their stomachs.

When mentioning the son, the interest of several people came again.

"After the crown prince became weak, he often went to Lixiangfang. Why didn't the teachers and professors talk about him?" Zhu Zhixing asked.

"Haha, who dares to say that, he is the eldest son, and he is also recognized by Professor Wei, saying that he is the only person in our county who may be admitted to the top three!" said the student of the Chi family.

Zhu Zhixing thought for a while, and said, "Yes, for a person of his status, I'm afraid the Enke champions in the previous two sessions would not pay attention to him, let alone that woman."

Qiao Maoshu didn't talk much when he mentioned the eldest son, because people like them have always looked down on them. If they can talk to him, they are either the generals or the salt envoys. Even the county magistrate may not necessarily say a few words, so he naturally Can't mention it.

The more they chatted about Chi Yan, the more interesting things they had, and they were all in a good mood.

Before Shen Shi, Chi Yan rode out from the racecourse. He had been running for a day and was a little tired. He wanted to go out of the city while riding a horse. He was a little irritable these days.

Over the past few days, old Qiao's family sent cornel noodles to Qiao Hong or Xiao's, and Qiao Fang never missed a single noodle.

He went to wait in the restaurant every day, but he didn't see her. It was as if she had disappeared from the world, and she was tightly hidden by Mrs. Xiao.

He was a little angry, and he didn't know what he was angry about.

Qiao Fang was avoiding him again, avoiding him!
He doesn't dare to ask for too much now, since his second uncle and mother told him about him, he wants to restrain himself and only wants to see her.

But she avoided this request.

He didn't want to wait, since he couldn't see her, he went out of the city to meet her on horseback.

Running all the way down, unknowingly came to the vicinity of Yaoshan alone.

He is very familiar with this place, and he knows where the villages are.

When he came to the crossings of various villages, he didn't dare to go forward, as if he was afraid of seeing Qiao Fang, afraid of seeing her sneak away, and then hurriedly avoided.

The more he suppressed this emotion, the more Qiao Fang's cold look deepened into his heart. He knew that he was sick, what happened to him, and he would go to the doctor next time.

He tightened his horse rope, and when he saw the intersection leading to Yaoshan Village, he hesitated to move forward.

After a long while, he stopped hesitating, clamped the horse's belly, and the horse galloped forward quickly.

"If you hate her just by looking at her, you will never want to see her again!" Chi Yan said to himself.

Ma'er seemed to understand what he said, and hurried to Yaoshan Village.

At this time, Qiao Fang was learning to settle accounts with her mother. No matter what my mother said, she didn't quite understand some things, and she didn't know many words. My mother asked her to practice those few words with a pen before speaking.

Qiao Hong watched from the side, laughing at her writing posture: "Sister, don't hold a pen like a knife, you need to be smart with your wrist..."

Qiao Fang nodded seriously, held the pen again and used the strength of her wrist to control it.

She wrote a character stroke by stroke, and then happily showed it to Qiao Hong.

"Brother Hong, what do you think of what I wrote?"

Qiao Hong took it over to read it, and immediately frowned: "Sister, what did you write?"

"Yeah, accounts receivable, accounts payable, I think this word is used a lot..." Qiao Fang said.

Qiao Hong was stunned, and said helplessly: "Sister, what you wrote is like a claw, this word is not good, rewrite and rewrite!"

Qiao Fang frowned, took the paper, and looked at it: "I think it's not bad!"

"Sister, it should be written like this!" Qiao Hong said, took her pen, and wrote Ying's italic characters on her paper: "Sister, look, it should be written like this, do you know it?"

Qiao Fang smiled lightly, and tilted her head to look at Qiao Hong: "Brother Hong, your handwriting is so beautiful!"

Qiao Hong urged: "Sister, write quickly!"

"Qiao Fang!" A clear voice interrupted the two of them.

Qiao Fang turned her head to look at the person, her expression turned cold.
