Chapter 14 The Passing Years Are Like Water
The two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, but they didn't feel lonely. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Chen Yue exercised in the morning, his stomach was empty, no one was polite to anyone, he ate meat and drank soup. Wine is eaten quickly. In the blink of an eye, Chen Yue had already taken the third pot.
Li San was a little drunk, and Mi squinted his eyes. "Brother Chen Yue, yesterday the government officials came to my house and asked my family to do labor, Ding, and military service. But my family is now poor. Where it comes from! ”
Chen Yue also understands that labor is free of charge for each family to help the government work, such as repairing city walls, roads, and official warehouses. Ding Gong is also much the same, but the name is different. Military service is simple, just go to the army.
These are not inevitable, people like Li San who injured their feet should have been exempted from military service, and they were only children in the family, but it was a pity that the government made it clear that the carriage and horses would not be let go.
Chen Yue has a reputation for being a child, he himself can avoid these labors, it is impossible to let scholars go to the battlefield to fight, and it is not okay to do hard labor, scholars are to study. Chen Yue only needs to go to the county school to prescribe children's books. You can avoid that.
Then someone is going to ask, so he doesn't have to serve for the rest of his life? Hehe, then you're right. And so it is.
There is a saying among the scholars here, called; Eighty old children, sixty sour talents, you see, they are all seventy and eighty, and they still have to go to school and take exams. The so-called fame and fortune move people's hearts, and it is nothing more than that.
The state can't say how old you are, you can't come to the exam, in that case, it will chill the hearts of people all over the world. What's more, above the court, there are not no seventy or eighty-year-old dignitaries.
By the time the two of them finished eating, it was already noon. Li Xiaomei also came and helped Chen Yue and the others eat the rest and clean up. After making tea, I went to clean the house.
What Li San said was nothing more than asking Chen Yue to help him get an idea, and these labors could be replaced by spending money. Li Sanqian can't take it out. Even if he took it, he didn't want to take it.
Chen Yue is a scholar, and he often goes to the yamen to help people fight lawsuits on his behalf. Some people in the official face are familiar with it, and it will save a lot of trouble by coming forward by him, and even if it costs a lot less.
"Brother Li, don't worry, I will definitely help you with your affairs, not to mention that now your legs and feet are inconvenient, and you should not go to service, you are the only son in the family, and you should be exempted from service. Wait for me to write an immune defense for you, and I'm looking for a few of my literary friends to talk about it for you. You're looking for some neighbors as guarantors, the fact that you're disabled. Just one point, you must say that your leg and foot were broken when you went up the mountain to chop wood. ”
Li San nodded hurriedly, "Yes, it was broken." My family must have taken care of it, but it was broken. ”
The two smiled at each other, picked up the teacup and drank it.
Chen Yue took the four treasures of the study from the desk in the room. Although he has not practiced calligraphy much on the earth, Chen Yue himself has passed the children's test in this life, and his father is a showman, so he still has a certain foundation in his family learning.
Poured the water into the stone inkstone, took another piece of rosin ink, rolled up his sleeves and grinded it. When the ink is ready, take out a stack of rice paper that is suitable for cutting, spread out a sheet, and write it with a neat plum blossom seal.
After Chen Yue finished writing neatly, handed the document to Li San, you take it, ask the neighbors to help you as a guarantee, press your handprint, wait for me to attend the literary meeting tomorrow, and ask a few literary friends to help you go to the county to solve this matter.
Chen Yue's literary friends here are actually classmates in modern terms. But after all, asking someone to help, it is inevitable to spend favors, and these Chen Yue naturally won't let Li San worry about it. He couldn't help either.
The so-called Xiucai is half a piece of love paper, and many scholars go all over the world, and they can't starve to death just by relying on a piece of paper. For example; A fellow villager was an official outside, and he found out from others that the two were from the same place. In fact, the place where the two live is hundreds of miles away.
But no matter what, the reader can pick up the pen, spread out the paper, and write. is nothing more than that, I learned that my brother was an official in such and such a place, and Ze was the parents of the people in a certain place, and the official reputation spread all over the township. Anyway, it's a good one, but it's not enough to just say it, you have to make yourself clear, this is the point, your first name, last name, address, classmates, and famous neighbors can also be written.
Then it can be said that it is difficult, whether it is illness or meeting bandits, as long as the reason is just. The so-called townsmen have to give money to solve the problem. If you don't give it, then once this scholar spreads the matter, the official reputation will be ruined.
Although the official also knows that this scholar is fighting the autumn wind, but more or less he wants to meet, talk, and ask, then it is impossible for me to give you money! Truth and falsity also have to be debated. You even have to talk in a local accent.
There are also many scholars, not to mention taking the road of some officials, and there are also staff housekeepers and the like. After all, it is much better for fellow villagers to use than for outsiders.
Chen Yue was also at home, and a classmate who had never been to school in the past invited him to participate in the literary meeting. Whether you go or not, you have to be courteous, and if you don't have money, you have to give something. You're going to have to mix in this circle anyway. If you don't want to break off this relationship, you have to be courteous.
He doesn't go there very often, sometimes he just gives a gift of a few dozens, or he doesn't have money, and he can give some tea, paper, pen and ink, etc. No matter how much, there will be no dislike over there. Of course, after the crossing, he gave no less than 100 yuan every time.
The place where this cultural meeting is held is also according to the solar terms, and in the spring season, it is possible to build a shed outside, put some tables and chairs, boil some tea, and set up some snacks.
If it's cold, I'll find a house to hold it. Sometimes, I invite some famous gentlemen to give lectures. Sometimes, neighboring readers are invited to get together.
After Chen Yue learned martial arts, there were many things that he pushed away, such as helping his neighbors write letters to his neighbors, some courtesy stickers, and so on. Anyway, these miscellaneous things, in his opinion, can be pushed. Unless he can't push it, he will go next.
Like Li San, he can only go next, and he can't say I don't care!;
