Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The fire starter was quickly brought, and Xinzhu also looked at the fireworks in Fang Zheng's hand with curiosity.

Fang Zheng took the fire starter, took a few steps back, and walked to the center of the courtyard.

Before lighting it, he said loudly, "Second Miss, watch carefully, if these stars run away, they'll really be gone!"

"Hurry, hurry! Stop boasting!" Chu Youyi urged repeatedly.

Although her mouth was unconvinced, her actions had already betrayed her.

She couldn't help but stand up from the chair, her eyes fixed on Fang Zheng's hand.

A smile appeared on the corner of Fang Zheng's mouth.

He picked up the fire starter, lit the fuse, and then held up the fireworks!

The fuse burned out with a whoosh!

"Whoosh ~ ~ Bang!"

A brilliant firework shot straight into the sky and disappeared with a bang!

The scene was silent......

Everyone in the audience was stunned.

Stars! They really were stars! Passed down from ancestors!

Just like that, gone?

"My heavens! He really plucked the stars down!"

"What just happened?"

"That's not right! Shouldn't it have shot into the sky? Why did it disappear after shooting so low?"

"Probably exhausted, not enough energy..."

A group of servants discussed excitedly.

Who would care about the position of a bookboy at this time? Those were stars!

Being able to see stars so close with their own eyes was something to brag about for a lifetime!

Isn't that much better than being a bookboy?

Chu Youyi stood there in a daze, staring blankly at the sky, and muttered, "Stars? Why do they have sparks? They really ran away..."

Fang Zheng sighed and said, "Second Miss, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied... satisfied... but why did it disappear with a bang?" Chu Youyi asked blankly.

"My grandfather caught them, so many years have passed, the stars are old... they can't fly anymore."

Fang Zheng almost laughed out loud at such an outrageous statement, but he managed to hold it back.

He remembered the first time he set off fireworks in Taoyuan County, he told people that they could make wishes on shooting stars, and a group of people knelt on the ground, wailing and making wishes to the fireworks. Later, the shameless people of Taoyuan used this trick to deceive children, and it almost became a tradition!

That scene was much more exciting than today!

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng missed home a little and couldn't help but sigh.

"But..." Chu Youyi still had doubts in her heart, but when she saw Fang Zheng's "melancholy" eyes halfway through her sentence, she suddenly felt extremely ashamed.

This was someone else's heirloom! And she made it disappear with just one sentence? Anyone would find that unacceptable!

Chu Youyi whispered, "I'm... I'm sorry, Fang Tangjing. I just wanted to joke... I didn't know you really had stars... How much money do I owe you?"

Fang Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, the little girl was quite kind, not bad!

"Thank you for your kindness, Second Miss, it's also thanks to you that I was able to see the stars in this tube. Looking at their condition, if they were left for another two years, they might have died inside, who knows? Today they can see the light of day again, I believe my ancestors would also be happy because of this, so I still have to thank you."

"Ah? Is that so?" Chu Youyi asked hesitantly.

"Of course, now it's no problem for me to be a bookboy, right?" Fang Zheng asked.

"No! No! You go back and rest, tomorrow we'll go to the academy... Tonight, thank you." Chu Youyi smiled again and looked up at the sky.

.......

"Tie-ge! Tie-ge, don't sleep! I saw fireworks! It must be the signal from the master!"

Zhao Lie trembled with excitement and shook Zhou Tie vigorously.

"What signal?" Zhou Tie woke up groggily.

He had been exhausted these past few days.

They couldn't go far in the mountains, and the weather was cold, and he was also responsible for hunting.

It was really not easy to get a good night's sleep.

"Master! He's in the city we saw during the day! Fireworks were set off!"

Zhou Tie suddenly perked up, with a look of joy on his face, and said, "You saw it clearly? That's really a coincidence, we're preparing to enter the city tomorrow and the master is sending a signal tonight? Could it be that he can tell fortunes?"

Zhao Lie also reacted and asked doubtfully, "That's right? Why did he set off fireworks for no reason? The master couldn't possibly know that we found this place."

"Probably picking up girls? That thing works really well for teasing young girls! I always use it." Zhou Tie rubbed his face: "Sleep, sleep, it's okay if the master is in the city. In the morning, let the brothers get their travel permits ready, and tomorrow we'll enter the city separately."

.......

The night passed, Fang Zheng took off his servant clothes, put on a white robe, and put on his jade pendant, restoring his usual attire.

He combed his hair again, looked in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.

The clothes were a bit lacking, he only recovered seven-tenths of his handsomeness!

He looked at his pocket watch, it was time.

He packed his book box and went to the Chu family gate, and after waiting for a while, Xinzhu accompanied Chu Youyi, who was late.

The two stood at the door looking around, Chu Youyi asked, "Eh? Why hasn't Fang Tangjing come?"

"I'm here, I'm here." Fang Zheng silently approached the two.

He sized up Chu Youyi, and saw that she had already changed into men's clothing.

The upper body was only slightly bulging... um, so-so!

But it still looked quite heroic, but... no matter how you looked at it, she didn't look like a man!

Chu Youyi and Xinzhu were struck by lightning!

Pointing at Fang Zheng, they stammered, "You... you... you are Fang Tangjing?"

The two had previously thought that this was a young master from some family waiting for someone at the door!

This elegant white robe was completely different from yesterday's servant!

Xinzhu asked blankly, "Brother Fang... you are a bookboy, why are you dressed like this?"

"Ah! Isn't this because I'm afraid of embarrassing the Second Miss? This is my best clothes, I can't lose face when I'm with the Second Miss!" Fang Zheng flicked his hair, adding a bit of flirtatiousness.

"Ah... then let's go, Xinzhu, you go back first." Chu Youyi's face was also slightly red, and she felt inexplicably awkward.

Fang Zheng changed into this outfit, and if you removed the book box, he would be a noble young master, even his temperament didn't seem like a servant! How could he change so much?

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Xinzhu fell into thought.

Dressed like this... he doesn't want to seduce the Second Miss, does he.....

The academy was in the city, quiet in the midst of noise.

So the road to the academy was not far, and it was more comfortable to walk than to ride a horse or take a car, so Chu Qinghan didn't arrange anything, and the two walked to the academy.

Fang Zheng was much taller than Chu Youyi, and his steps were also larger, the two walked one in front of the other, Chu Youyi's legs were scrambling to keep up with him.

After walking for a while, they got closer and closer to the academy.

Chu Youyi was awkward all the way, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it too high-profile for you to dress like this?"

"High-profile? I used to dress like this at home, much more high-profile than this!" Fang Zheng stared straight ahead and walked with big strides.

"Oh..." Chu Youyi didn't know how to answer, so she had to continue to keep up.

Before long, they arrived at the gate of the academy, and there were already students appearing in twos and threes, most of them dressed in white.

Suddenly someone saw Fang Zheng and their eyes lit up, and they said loudly, "Yo! Brother, are you also new here? Didn't the academy say not to bring maids?"
