Chapter 19: Ideas for Money

Someone immediately said: "I heard that the elders of the teacher made a hexagram for him, saying that he should not marry early in his life, so he has been hanging." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info However, the teacher has already made a marriage. ”

It is not advisable to marry early?

This is really two skins of people's mouths, turning it over and putting it over, and there are sayings both horizontally and vertically.

Liang Xinming said: "Hmph, which one did you marry early?"

But she asked, "Is there anything else you say?"

The man: "Yes. ”

Another person asked urgently: "Which daughter is the teacher ordering?"

The man looked at Meng Wulan and smiled.

Meng Wulan didn't answer.

Seeing that his face was okay, the man said, "It's Meng Yayuan's sister." I heard my mother say that Miss Meng is not only talented and beautiful, but also extremely virtuous and gentle, and has been serving her teachers and elders in Huayang Town for the past few years, and doing her filial piety for her teachers. ”

Meng Wulan's sister - Meng Qingquan!

Liang Xinming raised his head, drank all the wine in the cup, and then lowered his eyes, his eyelashes covered his eyes and his thoughts.

Above, Wang Heng saw that Liang Xinming did not come to get close to him, and remembered his behavior of brushing his sleeves away yesterday, did he make her stay away? He was a little uncomfortable, so he raised his voice and called out, "Qingyun!" and called out, and the governor and others all turned their heads to look around, and then followed Wang Heng's gaze and fell on Liang Xinming again.

Liang Xinming got up, walked over and bowed down and said, "Teacher!"

Qingyun is Liang Xinming's expression, which on the surface means not forgetting Qingyun's ambition, but in fact, it is to remind Lin Xin'er not to forget the past, and to step forward and take revenge.

Wang Heng leaned on the arm of the chair with his right elbow, leaned back leaning back, looked at Liang Xinming, and asked like gossip, "When do you plan to go to Beijing?"

Liang Xinming replied: "The students have not planned yet. ”

Wang Heng said: "It's October before that. Once it snows, the weather is cold, the road is difficult to travel, and the capital is far away, if you unfortunately get sick on the road, not to mention the delay of the trip, people will also suffer. If you wait for the next year to go on the road again, I'm afraid that it will be too hasty. Besides, if you go to Beijing early to find a place to live, you can prepare calmly, and you can also talk about learning with people from all over the world, and ask for experience from the predecessors of the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian. ”

Liang Xinming said: "What the teacher said is that besides, students with their wives and children must go on the road in advance, otherwise I am afraid that the weather will be cold and inconvenient." ”

Wang Heng frowned and said, "You want to take them into Beijing?"

The word "she" bites very hard, as if it is not Liang Xinming's wife, but some irrelevant outsider, who looks disgusted with her cumbersome and dragging down.

Liang Xinming said: "Yes." The student's family lives deep in the mountains, and if he leaves his clumsy Jing and young daughter at home, the bachelor is really not at ease. If you stay in this Huizhou city, you will have no relatives and no place to live. Students must take them on the road. ”

Wang Heng couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Since there is no place to live, won't it be more difficult for you to take them on the road?"

Liang Xinming said: "This is the reason why students are not sure about the itinerary. -- The students plan to hold a calligraphy and painting exhibition in the near future to sell their paintings to raise money for the examination in Beijing. When the money is enough, the day will be the day to set off. ”

Not only did Wang Heng frown when he heard this, but the others also looked strange.

Liang Xinming sells paintings to raise money for the exam, which sounds like nothing at first glance, but a detailed analysis is very problematic: if he opens an art exhibition before the township examination, it will naturally be nothing. Now that he understands the Yuan and has become famous, at this time he sells paintings, not to mention how his paintings are, but because of his reputation, those vulgar people who are vassal and elegant will also come to make friends and give him silver. Though he had money, it did not do him any good reputation. People will say that he is greedy for profit and loses the integrity and face of a scholar!

Where is this selling paintings, this is the name of selling "Xie Yuan"!

How can Mobao be sold?

Wang Heng regarded himself as her mentor, and felt that she had acted inappropriately, and of course he had to correct her.

He said with a calm face: "You behave like this, you are too embarrassed to be a scholar! Selling pen and ink to those vassal and elegant people will not stain the smell of copper." ”

Liang Xinming said: "There are many vassal and elegant people in this world, not that students don't sell paintings, so there will be no more." If a student comes from a poor family and has to study for the imperial examination, he cannot pick up his shoulders or lift his hands, and he only knows how to write and paint, and if he does not earn money to support his family through this method, does he have to rely on his wife's textile and embroidery to support him? In this way, although the character and bones are preserved, but in the eyes of the students, it is even more shameful for the man to be a man and rely on a weak woman to support him and maintain a high school. This is the act of a gentleman who sells his reputation and reputation, and is not the work of a gentleman! A student would rather let people scold the philistine than let his wife and weak daughter suffer with a shelf. ”

Wang Heng was shocked and looked at her deeply.

Hong Fei clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Liang Xie Yuan is really temperamental!"

Governor Lin also praised: "Liang Jieyuan is a frank gentleman. ”

When the others saw the change in the direction of the wind, they also praised it.

Wang Heng said expressionlessly: "You bring the painting to me and take a look." ”

Liang Xinming was puzzled: "What does the teacher mean?"

Wang Heng said impatiently: "Since you have opened an art exhibition, where is it not opened? There are no laypeople here today, so you will open an art exhibition at this Luming banquet." Let us evaluate and we will be able to give you a fair price for your painting. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Liang Xinming flatly refused: "No! Students are selling paintings, and the buying and selling are voluntary, and there is no need to force them." If the painting is unfolded at this deer singing feast, it will really be a desire for profit! ”

Wang Heng saw that she refused to appreciate it, and said angrily: "You sell to others for sale, but you don't sell to us? We are always better than the eyes of the laymen outside, right? Isn't it that you dare not take it, for fear that the painting and calligraphy are too poor, and only dare to fool the layman?" He has seen Liang Xinming's calligraphy, and it is not ironic to say this, but to deliberately provoke him.

The governor glanced at Wang Heng, and also smiled and said, "Liang Jieyuan just bring it." If it's good, the official will buy one, and if it's not good, the official will not pull out a dime!"

Everyone laughed and made fun of Liang Xinming.

Liang Xinming was embarrassed and repeatedly excused himself.

Everyone urged him again and again, so that he did not have to scruple.

In the end, Liang Xinming had no choice but to obey.

She was about to go back to get it in person, but Wang Heng said again: "You write a note, and the official will let you go to your house." You are a weak scholar, and when you get it, it will be dark. ”

Liang Xinming had to agree and write a note.

Immediately, a maid came to serve the pen and ink.

From the governor to the people present, they all saw that Wang Heng was obviously different from Liang Xinming, and he intended to help her, and they were all more enthusiastic about Liang Xinming.

is still Yi'an, holding the note written by Liang Xinming, and going to Liang's house to find Li Huiniang to get a painting.

Li Huiniang got Liang Xinming's instructions the day before, and when she saw the note, she hurriedly took the painting and handed it to Yi'an. sent him away, covered the courtyard door, turned around and lowered his head and pursed his lips and snickered.

Xiao Chaoyun felt that his mother's smile was infiltrating, and asked carefully: "Why is my mother laughing?"

Li Huiniang hugged her and sat down, sandwiched her between her legs, tore off her crumbling pigtails, combed her poor short hair with her fingers, tied it up, and said, "Your father has the money to buy you baked cakes." I can buy a car. ”

Xiao Chaoyun turned his head in surprise, "A car!"

So, the hair that had just been tied up fell apart again!

Yi'an held the painting and sent it to the Luming banquet.
