After Mr. Si Brown left, the days did not change, Xue Qing got up early as before, ran to Liudaoquan Mountain, climbed to social studies, and studied by himself in Zhizhitang in the afternoon..... Mr. Si Brown left a lot of homework before leaving. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhang Shuangtong will come to take a nap, Zheng Minghui and a few other young people will occasionally come, pretending to read and write, most of the time they talk together, being glared at by Xue Qing a few times, or Zhang Shuangtong who is noisy will be quiet for a while.

They won't stay for an afternoon, after all, they all have to go to class, and there is not much time left before the county exam in February next year, basically Xue Qing is alone in Zhizhitang.

At this time, few people came, and when he heard the footsteps, Xue Qing raised his head, and couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Leting." ”

As soon as Le Ting stood still, he seemed to hesitate, and when he shouted, he looked over with a smile and said, "Is there any interruption?"

Xue Qing had already gotten up to make an invitation, and said, "Please come in, I just don't understand a paragraph.... In the end, it is inconvenient to study on your own, and there is no classmate at any time. ”

Leting stepped in and sat opposite Xue Qing, Xue Qing didn't politely take out the scroll and pointed it to him, Leting told her carefully, his voice was clear, and the story was clear, so it could be seen that he had read it well.

Xue Qing said: "How many years have you been in school?"

Leting said: "It's been three years. ”

Xue Qing sighed, thinking to himself that it would take a few years? Although there is no end to the sea of books, there is a purpose for reading, and there must be a deadline for three years, four years, and five years for the scientific examination, but the status of a slave can never be examined.

Le Ting looked at her eyes, then smiled, and said, "I sold myself into slavery for ten years, so I have to study for at least seven years." ”

Xue Qing sat up straight, and since Le Ting had already taken the initiative to speak, she also said, "It turned out that she was sold into slavery." "It's not that you were born slave.

Leting nodded, and said calmly: "My family is poor, my father died early, my mother was sick and weak, and I couldn't afford to study, so I sold myself to the Lu family, and took the money from the sale of my body to pay Shu Yu to study in social studies." ”

So that's the case, he actually gave up his good people to become a lowly citizen, but he really had the courage, Xue Qing said: "Is it for the imperial examination?"

Le Ting smiled, thought for a while, and said: "Since you are studying, you always have to try the imperial examination, but even if you don't get in, it's good to study... No one believed him. ”

Not everyone can succeed in the imperial examination by studying, many people are just a child all their lives, the story of Fan Jinzhongju is not an exaggeration, reading is not an affordable task for the poor and a big adventure, it may not be rewarding at all, especially Le Ting, who sells himself as a slave to study, if not for the fame of the imperial examination, then isn't it crazy?

But for Xue Qing, it is understandable, she smiled: "Faith, reading is very good, if you want to study, it is already a very happy thing to be able to achieve what you want to do." ”

Le Ting didn't seem to expect her to say this, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't be sad if you can't achieve it." ”

Did you say that you were the top student in the exam? Xue Qing laughed.

Le Ting glanced around, the grass hall was simple but clean and tidy, there was originally a desk, but now Zhang Shuangtong put a low couch, Chu Minghui moved three tables, the room did not look empty, and I don't know who put a clay pot on the windowsill and inserted a handful of mountain flowers.

Xue Qing said: "Young Master Shuangtong, it is said that the fragrance of flowers can calm the nerves." ”

Le Ting knew who Young Master Shuangtong was, smiled and nodded and got up, and said, "I'm leaving, I've been very busy lately, it seems that some big man is coming, and I want a lot of pork." ”

The family refers to the Lu family, Xue Qing said: "No wonder I haven't seen you recently." ”

Leting said: "Go out early and return late, there is a lot less time to study, I heard that you have a school, I will come and see if I am free today." ”

Xue Qing said: "What do you think of it?"

Leting had already walked to the door, looked up at the plaque on it, and said, "Feeling, quality." ”

Xue Qing smiled and said, "Thank you for the praise." ”

The two were laughing in front of the door, someone suddenly shouted Xue Qing, Chu Minghui and two young people came over, and Leting gave Xue Qing a salute and walked away.

Chu Minghui approached, looked at Le Ting's back and frowned, "Qingzi, do you know that Le Ting too?"

Xue Qing responded.

"Don't play with him, it's annoying. A teenager pouted.

"Yes, for the sake of the imperial examination, such a person will inevitably be a traitor when he becomes an official in the future... And what else he didn't dare to do. Another teenager said with plastic surgery.

Xue Qing said: "This is biased... In order to marry a wife, I will also be a traitor in the future?"

A young man said unhappily: "Xue Qing, you are fascinated by Leting, why are you speaking for him." ”

Xue Qing said: "Because I don't think there's anything wrong with him." ”

I didn't expect her to answer so simply, the teenagers looked slightly embarrassed, Chu Minghui laughed: "How can it be the same... What's more, you may not be able to pass the test. ”

Xue Qing said: "Do you want to cut off your robe and break your righteousness?" she deliberately said this with a straight face, and the embarrassment of the young people dissipated and they all laughed.

"Okay, it's not too early, let's go to Keju, what's the point of always boring reading..."Chu Minghui put his hand on her shoulder and said, ".. It's boring, Sanshiro, you go and talk to your little brother, and let's have a game. ”

Xue Qing said: "Which little brother?"

"Liu Chunyang. The teenagers laughed.

Although Xue Qing never said why Liu Chunyang called her eldest brother, how could there be a secret between the teenagers, and soon everyone heard about the Dragon Boat Festival Society's competition song.

"Tell him that he is a juju, not a poem, so don't be afraid. Chu Minghui laughed.

"But he also loses. A teenager shouted.

So the three of them laughed, Xue Qing shook his head, he didn't understand what was funny about this, pushed Chu Minghui's hand away and said, "Do you want to go to Keju?" ”

Chu Minghui and the three of them went together with a smile, because the weather was hot, the teenagers agreed to play Keju by the Weishui River, but they were stopped before they could arrive.

"The river is under martial law, and you are not allowed to approach. Someone in front of me said.

What's wrong? Chu Minghui and the others were very curious.

"It is said that the officials in the court are here, and the prefect is entertaining by the river, and no idle people are allowed to approach... I'm going to have to swim in the river later. ”

This kind of thing is the same in ancient and modern times, Chu Minghui and other teenagers complained twice, Xue Qing didn't know what to say, and the three of them turned around and entered the city, but they didn't expect that the city gate was also crowded, and the cars and horses out of the city almost blocked the road.

"What is this for?" Chu Minghui was very puzzled, and suddenly babbled, it turned out that when he saw his family's carriage, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask, and after a while, he scratched his head and came back, "It's to send my sisters to my grandfather's house.... It's strange to go out so late. ”

"It's common sense that it's hot during the day. "Two teenagers are humane.

This is indeed common sense, the four of them waited at the gate for a while, and took the time to get into the city, but after passing through the city gate, Xue Qing suddenly stopped and said, ".... It's common sense that you won't go out to your grandfather's house today, right?"

What do you mean, Chu Minghui and the three of them also stopped, and as Xue Qing looked forward, they couldn't help but look stunned, and more cars and horses poured into the street in front of them.

In the summer, the chariot was swaying in the veil with gauzy beads, and the figures sitting in it could be seen that the figures were all girls, and the servants around them were urging the horses and whips, crowding the streets, and behind them, there were more chariots and horses galloping under the light of the gradually lit horse lanterns.

Something like fleeing .... Xue Qing thought.
