In the enthusiastic closing speech of Hangzhou prefect Lu Xianzhi, the fun fair ended.In the afternoon of that day, Xu Chengyu brought everyone back to Luxi Academy. After the students had rested for a few days, the academy resumed classes. Everyone went step by step, and their lives were back on track.

After that night, Gu Yunji never saw Fang Zigui again, and the people around him didn't know where he went.Ask Xu Chengyu, he only said that he will take care of everything so that he doesn't have to worry about it, so Gu Yunji no longer pays attention to this matter.

In late autumn, the fallen leaves fall one after another in the bleak autumn wind, covering the ground with golden yellow. From a distance, it looks like gold pouring down, bright and brilliant.

On this day, Gu Yunji was walking back to the dormitory, and saw a lot of people standing in twos and threes outside the Lizi No. [-] dormitory, as if watching some excitement.He glanced casually, kept walking, and was about to avoid them, but saw Su Qi in the crowd beckoning to him:
"Yunji, this way! Come here!"

Gu Yunji paused, then walked towards Su Qi, and found a few servants in the dormitory going in and out, moving things, which was not unusual.He lost interest a little: "What's so interesting about this, and it's worth your time here?"

Su Qi pouted forward, with a meaningful expression: "Here, this is Fang Zigui's dormitory. He is about to leave the academy. I heard that Master Fang came to pick him up in person."

Gu Yunji raised his eyebrows: "Scholar Fang is an important minister of the imperial court, and he is so busy with official duties on weekdays that he would travel all the way to Hangzhou to pick him up?"

"Otherwise, why would there be so many people watching the fun? Not only to pick him up, but more importantly, to make amends to Mr. Xu Shan." Su Qi sneered, "Fang Zigui did such an evil thing, if someone else , Turned him to the government a long time ago. That is to say, Xu Shanchang had a good heart and cared about his friendship with his father, so he saved some face for him."

While talking, the servant had already packed his things, and Fang Shu came out with Fang Zigui, ready to bid farewell to Xu Chengyu who had just walked over.

Fang Shu's eyes were complicated, and he looked at Xu Chengyu's face with shame: "Brother Xu, it's my fault for not teaching my father. In the past, I neglected to teach my dog, which caused him to get into trouble. I dare not expect Xu Chengyu Forgive me, brother, I only hope that there will be more letters and letters during the holidays in the future, so as not to weaken the friendship between the two families for many years."

Xu Chengyu's expression was indifferent, and his tone was indifferent and alienated: "I have lived for most of my life, and I have gradually become indifferent to any kind of communication. What I want is nothing more than the well-being and happiness of my children. Fang Xueshi is busy with his work, so he should spend more time teaching his son. Don't worry about it." We are a family nestled in the mountains."

His words were full of guns and sticks, and he satirized Fang Shu so much that he couldn't hold back his face.But after all, it was his son who was sorry for him. Fang Shu was at a loss for words for a long time, but he still didn't hold anything back. He bowed to Xu Chengyu and saluted:
"That's it...so I won't bother you any more. For the dog's fault, I will apologize to Xu Shanzhang on his behalf. Thank you Xu Shanzhang for being merciful and giving him a chance to correct his mistakes. From now on, I will strictly control him and be careful. teach, and he will not be allowed to do evil again."

Hearing this, Xu Chengyu raised his eyelids, and accepted Fang Shu's gift in silence.

Seeing Fang Shu's behavior, Gu Yunji looked like a reasonable person, and couldn't help but wonder: "I think Fang's university scholars are not bad, why did they raise such a son as Fang Zigui?"

"Probably because of his own mother!" Su Qi felt angry when he mentioned this, "Bachelor Fang is very busy on weekdays. In his early years, he often went out on business and didn't take care of his son. Elder, he has inherited the vile temperament of his lowly mother-in-law, won't this slowly grow crooked?"

"Plus because of my aunt, Xueshi Fang felt sorry for our family. He hasn't remarried for so many years, and only a few concubines took care of him. After that, several of his children all died, and Fang Zigui was in his teens. , he realized that he wanted to cultivate this single seedling well, but it was too late."

Gu Yunji said with emotion: "It is rumored that Fang University won the first prize when he was weak, and his spirit is unmatched. The world praises him for his erudition and talents, his upright conduct, and he can be a model for students all over the world. I have stumbled, and I am afraid that there will be some worries in the future."

Speaking of this, Su Qi also fell into the memories of the past, and his gaze was far away: "Scholar Fang was a dragon and phoenix when he was young, otherwise my aunt would not have taken a fancy to him. Who would have thought that what happened later..."

About 20 years ago, Wu Shi, a maidservant of the Fangfu in the capital, gave her master aphrodisiacs, climbed into the bed while he was drunk, and gave birth to a son and was carried as an aunt.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wu was greedy and vicious, so she was still not satisfied, so she even prescribed medicine to murder the head mistress to give birth, causing her to die of depression.

The young Duke Dingguo was in grief and couldn't accept the fact that his sister had passed away. He believed that there must be something wrong in it. Once he knocked on the door, Fang's house was turned upside down.

This incident caused a sensation in the capital and shocked the emperor.The first emperor personally issued an edict to bestow the death of the Wu family, to appease Duke Ding, and to reprimand the Fang family.Fang Shu's family management was lax, and he was demoted three grades in a row. The magistrate who had been away for many years had to go through several twists and turns before returning to Beijing with difficulty.

If not, Yi Fangshu's knowledge and ability should have been like Xu Chengyu's, and he should have taken the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet, instead of being worthy of entering the cabinet a few years ago.

Xu Shi and the two spoke a little loudly, which caught Fang Shu's attention.He looked over seemingly unintentionally, the color in his eyes brightened for a moment after seeing Su Qi, and then he walked over and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and you have grown taller again. The last time I was with His Majesty, I didn't go with you." Speaking of which, I finally had a chance today. How is it, how is your life in Luxi Academy?"

Su Qi muttered for a while, but finally said awkwardly: "I've met Fang... aunt, uncle."

What happened back then was not what Fang said he wanted, his beloved wife died, and he was depressed for several years before he slowly came out.What's more, because of the guilt in his heart, he helped the Su family a lot in court and in secret. Although Duke Ding still cared a little, he gradually calmed down and stopped showing face to him all the time.

The relationship between the two families is decent at present, and there are many contacts during the holidays. Even if Su Qi doesn't like Fang Zigui, he can't blame Fang Shu, so no matter how embarrassing he is at the moment, he still calls him uncle honestly. .

Fang Shu nodded with a smile, his eyes fell on Gu Yunji beside Su Qi, and he asked tentatively, "You are Gu Yunji?"

Gu Yunji staggered his gaze, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I met Mr. Fang, the student is Gu Yunji."

The last time the emperor drove to Fang Shu, he only took a few glances at Gu Yunji from a distance, and now he sized him up carefully. Seeing the other party's calm and extraordinary demeanor, he sighed in admiration, without putting on airs, and said directly: "Fang Shu Zigui made a big mistake and made things difficult for Mr. Gu, I will apologize to you on his behalf."

Gu Yunji turned sideways to avoid his courtesy, lowered his eyes and said politely: "Master Fang speaks seriously."

It's still a grudge, but it's also human nature.Fang Shu took his reaction into his eyes, didn't say anything, and after chatting with Su Qi for a few words, he took Fang Zigui to Xu Chengyu to say goodbye and left.

I don't know what happened to Fang Zigui after that night, but today he didn't say a word, just followed Fang Shu silently with his head down, and there was no expression on his face.

Seeing the backs of Fang's father and son going away, Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling unprecedentedly relaxed and happy, and couldn't help shouting: "Fang Zigui, the god of plague, has finally left, and he will never be here again." It's so cool to see him in the academy!"

Gu Yunji laughed when he saw this, but the big stone in his heart did not completely fall off.

The enmity between each other is still there, and Fang Zigui has a character of vengeance, not to mention that he has a reputation, so he must continue to take the imperial examination.Even if I can't see him for a while, Gu Yunji may have more time to deal with him in the officialdom in the future.
