116 Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other
Liao Fanzhi walked into the box step by step, and ordered a few plates of vegetarian dishes on the table in amazement, "What's the fire recently?" I don't even see a lot of meat, oh~~ Are you shy in your pocket? haha......"
Liang Zijun secretly tasted wine without raising his eyes or opening his eyes, and only handed him a sentence "Love to eat, don't like to eat~"
"Yo~ I have been wronged at home, and my brother is here to be angry? Look at your virtue, I can't even look down on it, oh~ The share of the seafood is here! Quickly withdraw these dishes" Liao Fanzhi lifted a plate of vegetarian fried winter melon aside in disgust, took out a thick stack of silver tickets and slapped it on the table.
Liang Zijun didn't even glance at it, still holding chopsticks and picking up vegetables, should eat and drink.
Liao Fanzhi was surprised that he could stuff a whole egg into his mouth, although Liang Zijun said that he was not a person who saw wealth, but this was a full sixty thousand taels, even he couldn't help but be tempted, this guy didn't even look at it.
If he changed to Li Shoucai's virtue, Liao Fanzhi could still praise him for his calmness, but it really said that Liang Zijun had the thinnest family background among them. Don't look at his usual lavish spending more than anyone else, but every penny he spends is hard-earned, no better than their rich children, it is really strange to look like this now.
"You don't want it, then I'll put it away" Liao Fanzhi stretched out his hand tremblingly.
"Put it there! Lord's silver dares to move, and he doesn't want it anymore? Lord, do you understand this bittersweet memory? The silver has to be spent on the blade, and you have calculated how much silver you have to miss in a year on weekdays?" Liang Zijun glanced at him, and calculated as if it was true or false.
"Yo, what kind of evil wind is this blowing? Shouldn't you want to emulate the unscathing virtue of Sour Xiucai? If that's the case, you can stay away from me when your classmates are eating and drinking," Liao Fanzhi shouted and couldn't stand it.
"Cough~ Naturally, you can't lose your identity when you should make a face, but on weekdays, the province is provincial" Liang Zijun couldn't pretend in the end, and secretly coughed to justify.
"Cut~ I almost took it seriously, I have to die to save face and suffer the crime! Forget it, it's a big deal that you will eat in the future, brother, I will pay the bill...... Hurry up and remove these things, Lao Tzu can't see the green vegetable leaves now!" Liao Fanzhi couldn't stand it and waved his hand to call his man, removed all the soup and water, and ordered another table of meat, and the brothers ate with a mouth full of oil.
"Didn't I say it, Brother Liang, you said that you are a vegetarian at home, if you don't come out at noon to fight the tooth sacrifice, how will you live this day? Young master, when did I suffer from this?" Liao Fanzhi drank too much and began to vomit bitter water.
"Hiccup~ Don't say it, have you ever seen your master eat coarse food? You don't care at all, you are now nibbling on pickles every day, so you can't get any meat......" Liang Zijun tore off a piece of fat like a bosom friend and chirped.
"Then you are worse than me, no wonder you can even eat green vegetables just now," Liao Fanzhi patted Liang Zijun on the shoulder sympathetically, and said for him, "Why do you say that your daughter-in-law is so ruthless? If you want me to say that we are really difficult brothers, neither of us is better than the other...... Hiccup~"
Liang Zijun removed his oil paws, stared at the oil stains on his shoulders and wailed, "I don't know if you don't even have to change your clean clothes now?
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and wiped the oil stain on his head and face on Liao Fanzhi's body. Li Shoucai entered the house for a long time, staring at the two drunks and sighing, what a mistake......
"Okay, don't break the dishes again when you two make trouble, I only changed a batch this month, and Qian Duo is not like this" Li Shoucai spoke up to stop the increasingly violent trouble.
"Don't mention the silver to the master!" Liang Zijun shouted in annoyance, reached out and grabbed the leftover bones, and smashed them at Li Shoucai.
"That's it, we are so sad, but you are proud, how can you call it fair? Only when you share hardships can you be considered a best friend?" Liao Fanzhi sneered, got up and stuffed the wine jug into Li Shoucai's mouth, forced him to drink it, and wiped his face again.
"Hahaha......" After the break, Liang and Liao slapped the table and laughed, and the angry Li Shoucai's stomach trembled, and he scolded with a face, "I think you two are doing it lightly, and you can only repent when you sweep the floor and go out."
glared at the two drunks, and saw that they were still hooking their shoulders and backs to pat away a jar of spirits, wrinkled their noses and persuaded, "Don't drink it, this Qiye drunk is the most strong, and drinking too much hurts your body!"
Liang Zijun waved his hand and raised a glass to invite, "Don't be disappointed, come and pour out our sorrows with us......"
Before Li Shoucai could open his mouth to refuse, a group of men outside the door suddenly pushed open the door, raised the letter in his hand and called, "Third master, there is a letter from the provincial capital"
"Hahaha...... It's a good time, let me share the good news with you" Liang Zijun shook his head, snatched the letter, and touched the silver in his arms for a long time, but Li Shoucai couldn't see it and threw it to the guy A couple of pieces of silver before he was sent away.
"Thank you...... Hiccup~" Liang Zijun sneered, tore open the envelope, frowned, pulled out the torn letter paper and read it together.
“…… After a month, it is very deep. …… Gradually into the bitter cold, Fu Fu bowed unharmed, and congratulated the great joy...... Waiting for Xie Yuan Dengke ?......"
Liang Zijun couldn't help but stop halfway through his thoughts, and carefully read the letter several times before confirming what was written in the letter.
Hearing that Liang Zijun won the township test to solve the yuan, Liao and Li shouted happily. Liang Zijun frowned for a long time, half of the startled wine dissipated, rubbed the corners of his forehead and scolded, "What a fart!
Liao and Li were shocked, how could they say this?
Li Shoucai saw that Liang Zijun was scared and sobered up, so he knew that he was not talking nonsense, and asked Zhengse, "What's the matter......?
"It is precisely because of this that it is even more strange" Liang Zijun pointed to the desktop analysis, "Who will win the Xie Yuan in the provincial capital has already been finalized, even if I make more money, I can't compete with those children of the family, according to my expectation, it is reasonable to be in the top ten, and it is really a blessing and a curse to get the Xie Yuan." ”
"That's right...... Those officials and eunuchs have old things to take care of, and this Xie Yuan can't turn on you, a farmer, not to mention discarding your answer sheet outside the three yuan, and there is no reason to put it on the table to compete with the officials. It is clear who is good and who is bad in this article, even if the examiner is confused, he will not accept bribes and shoot himself in the foot after taking a stone" Liao Fanzhi shook his head and spelled out three points of rational explanation.
In the township examination, officials from various ministries or scholars from Hanlin are the chief examiners, and local officials and academic officials of the prefectures and prefectures serve as invigilators. It is a sure thing to set the ranking in private, and there is no test to replace Xie Yuanyi.
Liang Zijun slammed his forehead with a headache, and the bad thing was that he gave the man in black a way through the wind. I wanted to sit and wait to watch the play, but I didn't expect that person to be so capable, not only uprooting the fraud in the examination room, but also purging corrupt officials and re-opening the book for review.
The fraud is widely implicated, and everyone from the court officials to the reference Xiucai may be convicted.
With his knowledge, he thinks he has the power to enter the country, but at this moment, he has to be suppressed by many parties, and he is bound to take out the original Xie Yuan test paper and compare it with it, so that his Xie Yuan has become the target of public criticism, and everyone picks and remembers the object of hatred.
The most important thing is that Sanyuan can be absent from the exam for some reason, but Xie Yuan must participate, especially in the fraud case, he must be tied to the same boat as the assassin Shi, and he can't take the test if he wants to.
In this way, the test has become a veritable tiger hole, forcing him to retreat, and after passing the exam, the corrupt officials will lose their heads, and the corrupt officials will take the opportunity to overturn the case, and he, Xie Yuan, will inevitably be questioned, and the assassin sent by the imperial court will also be charged with framing his colleagues.
Liang Zijun wailed, he really didn't want to step into the examination room that was not as good as the pigsty again. After this incident, not only the provincial officials regarded him as a thorn in the flesh, but also the relatives who were officials in Beijing would also be piggybacked.
It's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, the family tree, the one who is an official in Beijing can't hide it even if he has the heart to hide it. It seems that the most important thing at the moment is to revise the book, so that the other side can take precautions as soon as possible, so as not to get into partisan disputes.
Liang Zijun thought for a moment, hurriedly asked for a pen and paper to write down the reason, and repeatedly explained that he had no intention of pursuing a career, and there was no suspicion of cheating this time. If asked, please also ask the uncle to clarify that this team that adheres to the ancestral precepts is not allowed to enter the office, and he will definitely not enter the examination again if he wins the promotion.
After writing the trust, the guy quickly sent it to the post station and sent it to the capital as soon as possible, and Liang Zijun had the heart to sit down and think about countermeasures slowly. Because he didn't carry Liao and Li behind his back when he wrote the letter, he was a brother for so long, so he knew that this inconspicuous peasant son was also an official relative.
"Since there are relatives in the imperial court, this matter is easy to solve, even if you think about it," Li Shoucai touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"You can spare me, that pigsty doesn't want me to take a step further, and the internal party is tilted, the fraud case will inevitably be widely implicated, I don't cause trouble to that head It's good, once you enter the exam, you will have to be named in Beijing, really wait to enter the court, hum~ I guess I don't even know how to die" Liang Zijun snorted coldly, wanted to drag him into the water to be the unjust ghost, really when he was a yellow-mouthed child to give some sweetness, he was willing to die?
"Hehe, the stupid thing of dying before leaving the teacher is only those ignorant scholars will be confused by the name of Xie Yuan, let's just stop being a rich gentleman" Liao Fanzhi snorted, he had the heart to go into the jackal's den to find out, but he was born in a businessman, but he didn't even have a chance to enter the exam.
"Come on, don't be sour and sarcastic about me, even if you have the strength to fight, you don't bother to enter that filthy place, it's still more fun to fight with people, and fight with officials?
Chen Qing was busy handing bricks with mud at this time, and seeing that noon was approaching, he beckoned the four of them to rest, "I'll go to the kettle to boil water, you guys will stop working first"
Li San wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled and said, "The third master didn't come back, don't be busy for lunch, and you will eat a bite of my daughter-in-law's food in a while."
Chen Qingyuan wanted to take the time to stew the chicken in the morning, but when he heard this, he nodded, and it would be the same if he cooked it in the evening. Just as he was about to walk home, he saw the little brother next to the family looking over with a kettle and a tea bowl.
The two men hired, the slightly smart one frowned and didn't wait to speak, the honest man had already stood up and beckoned, "What are you doing standing so far away?"
The little brother's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly ran over with a kettle to deliver water. Chen Qing frowned and looked at Li San, who was also puzzled and asked, "Tomboy, what are you doing here?"
Chen Qing coughed violently at the moment and suppressed the smile on his lips, and stared at the third brother reproachfully, even if the person is not good enough, he can't give such a nickname.
The little brother's face was flushed, he raised his head and glanced at Chen Qing, and hurriedly lowered his head and whispered in defense: "I...... My name is Liang Jia, not a tomboy."
"Good family?" Chen Qing muttered, and then looked carefully at the young man with clear eyebrows, no wonder he was nicknamed like this.
"Hmm" The young man was called by Chen Qing's name and grinned, and said shyly, "I heard Brother Dunzi say that the owner is recruiting, so I wanted to come and ask if there is any work I can do...... Ah, I'll just ask for half the salary...... That, ten wen a day is fine."
Chen Qing shook his head a little amused, and explained, "It's not a matter of salary, but that there are enough people now, and there is no need to ask for work."
The man named Dunzi said with a little guilt, "Blame me for not having time to tell you, causing you to run in vain."
Liang Jia shook his head with a little disappointment, and said with a smile, "Don't blame Brother Dunzi, I ...... That is, to ask, or to be idle at home in winter."
Chen Qing saw that this little brother didn't change his face when he learned that he no longer asked for work, and he still diligently handed bowls and water to a few people, so he couldn't help but change his opinion of him, thought about it and said, "That's it, you boil some hot water for me every day, and then help hand over some sediment, it's not heavy work, what do you do for ten cents a day?"
Liang Jia nodded violently in surprise, and said repeatedly, ", since it's not a heavy job, how can I ask the owner for ten cents, just give five wen."
Dunzi hurriedly stretched out his hand and slapped him, and shouted, "You stupid melon, we still have five cents for lunch, aren't you going to do a day job?"
Liang Jia was slapped by the man, rubbed his shoulders and wrinkled his face, and whispered, "Where did you spend five cents for a meal?"
The rest of the people looked at the silly two and couldn't help but have a headache and support their foreheads, and the men who worked with the pier looked at the owner even more facelessly, this foolish goods, they didn't know how to hide it after taking advantage of it, didn't they embarrass the owner by shaking it out?
"Ahem, it's just ten papers, and when you work, you'll know that it's not so light" Chen Qing touched his nose and admitted that he had been wronged.
In the afternoon, Liang Jia went to work with a piece, and it is not a labor-saving job to hand over the sediment, a bucket of sediment weighs fifty or sixty pounds, and the four people have to hand another bucket of bricks and tea. Chen Qingsheng was only responsible for the mud and was able to rest for a while, beat the back of the sour waist, and secretly calculated that it would take a few days to complete.
Liang Jia looks like her body is thin, but as a brother raised by a grandfather, she is also used to doing hard work, and her hands are full of calluses, no less than Chen Qing, who works all year round, only her skin is delicate and tight, and she is as smart as a big girl.
Liang Jia spared no effort to work, and he was even more quick to take over most of the errand work without waiting for orders, Chen Qing secretly thought that this Shiwen Flower was not only not wronged, but also took advantage of himself slightly, and couldn't help but be a little curious why this kid always peeked at him to work before?
