Chapter 6: The Difference Between Stupid and Smart
In the following time, Zhou Yan sat in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Hao Fenglou was too lazy to pay attention to him, but he thought to himself: "How brave do you have to steal a woman with me? Snatching my woman is like killing my parents, and I won't let you do it. Do you want to write the word "Love Saint" upside down?"
Zhou Yan's face was pale, his heart was full of grief and anger. He felt a sense of aggrievance when he had given birth to Yu He Shengliang. He thought he was determined to win, but now it seems that he has a good talent and someone above him. This must be because the Lu family has already made a plan and deliberately used himself as a foil, which was for Mrs. Lu to see.
"The world is dark, and even a teacher recruiting has so many dark corners." Zhou Yan felt that if the next snow would be the case at this time, it would show his injustice of Dou E.
At this moment, a little maid came in and said with a smile: "The first exam has ended. Please ask the two gentlemen to enter the inner palace. Mrs. Lu will take the two gentlemen to take the exam in person."
Hao Fenglou stood up confidently, looked at the maid, and asked casually: "I thought it would be Sister Chun who came to call me in person. Is Sister Chun a little tired of hosting the first exam?"
Seeing this tone, it was like a family matter. The little maid naturally knew that Hao Fenglou was talking about Yingchun, and hurriedly said, "Yes, Sister Chun will rest first."
Hao Fenglou sighed: "Well, she wants to take a little longer. I see that her face is not very good. Then let's go."
Seeing that Hao Fenglou was chatting with the people in the Lu family intimately, Zhou Yan's face turned pale. Hao Fenglou did not brag. The whole Lu family was full of his people. The people who were in the first trial had something to do with him, and the main in charge of the mansion also had something to do with him. Seeing that Hao Fenglou talked and laughed with the little maid, perhaps he had an affair with the little maid.
He looked sad and saw that the maid had already led Hao Fenglou out of the door, so he had to blush and follow him with a gaze of righteous indignation.
When I entered the inner palace, the trees were covered with green trees, and the attic was hidden among the trees, bringing some spring. You can see a pavilion in the distance, where many people were waiting either standing or sitting.
A graceful woman was surrounded by everyone like stars and moonlight. Her expression was peaceful. Although her years had passed, she could vaguely see her charming and beautiful face from her facial features.
Her eyes seemed calm, and nothing seemed to attract too much attention from her. It was obvious that she was a qualified hostess, and both her behavior and expression were enough to make people respect her.
The maid came forward to report, and then Hao Fenglou and Zhou Yan stepped forward, and they saluted each other and said together, "The student has met his wife."
Mrs. Lu smiled, and her eyes looked at Hao Fenglou and Zhou Yan's faces for a moment. Although it was only a moment, she seemed to find a slight difference.
Although Hao Fenglou had a expressionless face, he had a vibrant spirit all over his body, standing tall, polite, neither humble nor arrogant.
Zhou Yan was lacking a lot. His expression was hesitant and his eyes were scattered. He seemed to be thinking about something in his heart, and he was very absent-minded.
When his eyes were stopped on Hao Fenglou, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but nodded slightly, showing approval. As for when it fell on Zhou Yan, Mrs. Lu's embroidered eyebrows slightly frowned, with a little dissatisfaction.
The first impression is very important, especially for emotional women. But Mrs. Lu smiled immediately, and did not seem to take these things seriously. She said kindly: "The little girl is naughty, but she has fallen in love with studying recently. A woman without talent is virtue, but there is nothing wrong with studying. But she has never found a suitable teacher in the house, so she has recruited talents. I hope to hire talents from outside. Both of them are young handsome men. Since they can pass the first exam, they think they are good at learning. Therefore, Mrs. cannot help but take the exam for the two men and choose to choose a teacher. If there is any presumption, I hope to let them go."
Hao Fenglou bowed and said, "Madam, just give it a try."
Zhou Yan seemed to have come back to his senses and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes..."
Mrs. Lu smiled at Hao Fenglou, and was even more impressed by Hao Fenglou's knowledgeable and well-behaved. Then she said: "It's just that Mrs. I haven't read much after all, so how to compete and get a higher score makes me feel embarrassed."
Of course this is just a humble word, and the next sentence will obviously have a question.
Hao Fenglou said presumptuously: "Madam, you might as well compare poetry. The way of poetry can best measure the depth of knowledge."
When Mrs. Lu interrupted Hao Fenglou for no reason, she couldn't help but frown, as if she felt that Hao Fenglou was a little reckless.
However, before she could reduce her impression of Hao Fenglou, Zhou Yan's face changed and said, "No, it's not as good as poetry..."
If Hao Fenglou was reckless at the beginning, then Zhou Yan's subsequent guilty behavior completely attracted Mrs. Lu's attention. Mrs. Lu could see that Zhou Yan, a young man, was guilty. He heard that he was a scholar, but he didn't even dare to compare with poetry. Could it be that this person's fame was confusing?
Zhou Yan also realized his fault and his confidence collapsed. His face was as pale as paper, and hesitantly became less and less confident. He said hesitantly: "It is better to compare with others than indecent poetry."
What Hao Fenglou wanted was this effect and said with a smile: "How indecent poetry? Forget it, since you want to compete with others, I will fulfill your wishes. However, this more skill is nothing more than piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. What should Master Zhou compare with?"
The scene is completely controlled by Hao Fenglou, and controlling the scene is a compulsory course for the Love Saint. In any occasion, a qualified Love Saint must be the one who is the most popular.
Zhou Yan was speechless immediately.
What to compare? What I am most proficient in reading, but the other party’s poems are literally literate. The poems of the scriptures are of the same origin. People who are eight-legged essays must be of high quality. If they compare these, they are not even qualified to carry shoes for Hao Fenglou.
As for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, although Zhou Yan was involved in some small matters, he was not the director after all. Hao Fenglou was full of confidence. If he asked him whether he was comparing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he must have looked at his tone, which is also Hao Fenglou's strength.
Zhou Yan suddenly felt that his life was so failed. After thinking about it, there was nothing that could be compared.
After being silent for a long time, Mrs. Lu seemed impatient. Hao Fenglou was so generous that you were letting you choose the topic yourself, but you were in a state of dismay. What is this?
Zhou Yan saw Mrs. Lu's thoughts, his face turned slightly red, and he was embarrassed and angry, and he felt wronged. He was a student at the rank of a guy who had no fame. Oh my God, is there any reason for this?
"No, I want to expose this person's face, I can't just let it go!" Zhou Yan didn't plan to compare, he decided to expose Fenglou's ugly behavior and evil behavior.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan quickly knelt down on the ground and said, "Madam, I want to sue me. I have wronged. This Feng is a relative. He has an affair with the head of the mansion. They join forces..."
Hearing this, all the maids present suddenly lost their appearance.
Mrs. Lu was slightly stunned. She never expected that a good school exam would suddenly become a complaint meeting.
Hao Fenglou still smiled. This idiot was fooled! He shook his head in his heart: "It's so stupid that he dares to steal a woman from this young master. Don't he know that after he said this, not only did he really offend the master to death, but also, no matter whether the matter is true or false, Mrs. Lu would never admit it? Once he admits it, wouldn't he tell everyone that Lu's house cheating, and those scholars who are rushing to apply for the recruitment will all curse?"
Mrs. Lu's face turned gloomy and said, "What is Mr. Zhou's intention? You said that someone in the Lu family colluded with Mr. Feng, but what evidence is there?"
Zhou Yan said: "This is what the Feng surnamed said in person. He said that the chief was his distant relative."
Hao Fenglou denied it, saying, "Madam, the student has never said it."
Zhou Yan vomited blood: "You said, you are a liar, yes. If your wife doesn't believe it, please ask the chief to come and verify it."
The chief of the Lu family stood beside his wife. He was furious when he heard Zhou Yan slandering him for cheating in secret and putting his distant relatives to apply for the recruitment, and said, "Madam, Mr. Feng is not a relative of a villain. The villain dares to swear to the sky. As for Mr. Zhou, he is full of nonsense and has a bad character. It can be seen that he asks the wife to drive him out immediately."
Mrs. Lu looked at the chief in charge deeply, feeling that the chief in charge was not like a lie. She also thought that once someone was framed like this, the reputation of the Lu family might be affected. Even if it was true, she couldn't admit it. So she sneered: "Mr. Zhou, you are too presumptuous. For the sake of your scholar, I will not insult you. Come and ask Mr. Zhou to go out."
Several servants stepped forward, Zhou Yan was furious. He hated Hao Fenglou for inappropriate competition. He hated Hao Fenglou and someone above Hao Fenglou. He hated everyone in the Lu family, so he shouted: "Unfair...unfair...Miss Lu...The surname is Feng, Miss Lu is my woman..."
Hao Fenglou was shocked and then silenced for Zhou Yan for three seconds. This guy was obviously crazy about his anger and his self-esteem was hit too much, so he dared to say such words.
A hint of fierceness flashed through Mrs. Lu's beautiful eyes.
The chief official took the opportunity to say, "Madam, this stinky scholar is really bold, and he dares to insult the lady..."
Mrs. Lu still kept silent, as if she was numb.
But the chief immediately understood what the wife meant, and he sternly said: "Come here, beat the dog out and beat it hard. No matter what the relationship is, someone will be able to make peace with the school officials at that time!"
"Oh..." With the order from the head of the chief, a servant had already punched Zhou Yan in the face without hesitation. Zhou Yan covered his face and wailed. Several servants snatched up and punched him, so he would not be polite.
Mrs. Lu has grown up and neither stops nor encourages her. In this situation, she is naturally not suitable for her to stay for a long time, so she took a group of girls away.
The chief was red with his eyes and hated Zhou Yan deeply. He dared to say that he had cheated and even in front of his wife. Fortunately, the wife was wise and did not believe his nonsense. Moreover, this guy dared to slander the lady, that was even more damn. He directed his servants: "Boat, beat him hard, don't make people think that our Lu family is weak and can be bullied."
Zhou Yan was beaten so embarrassed that he screamed in pain.
Hao Fenglou hurriedly said, "Forget it, forget it, after all, you are a scholar, don't insult your gentleness, the young people have no obstacles..."
When Zhou Yan heard Hao Fenglou's voice, he became furious. While being beaten, he scolded: "Who is surnamed Feng, you have no descendants! You are a bastard who colluded with the Lu family..."
Hao Fenglou was stunned for a moment, then spread his hands and said, "What I said just was just a joke. Scholars are weak in their bodies. Don't do too heavy work. Just use a long stool. Don't use a knife or a gun."
A servant shook his body, and then his eyes fell on a long bench not far away...
