Chapter 391: The Autumn Moon of the Four Great Talents
Chen Xiaosheng beckoned them into the house and asked, "Why do you have time to come over today?" β
Wen Zhengming smiled and said: "I always stay in the house to study, my brain is wooden, I just want to go and see how Bohu is doing, and then call him to find you together." β
Tang Bohu sat in the study and looked at the changes around him, and said: "Originally, my father didn't like me to go out, but this time I was able to come out thanks to Zhengming's blessing." β
Chen Xiaosheng poured tea for them and said in surprise: "What's wrong?" The grievances of the Zhou and Tang families have been resolved, and Master Tang still won't let you participate in the imperial examination? β
Tang Bohu sighed and said helplessly: "My father said that the case is not closed, and he said that he was afraid that the curse would continue to be fulfilled, in short, if I don't take a concubine, I will not be allowed to enter Beijing, and I can't help it." You know, how can there be a woman in Suzhou City who is willing to marry me now? β
Chen Xiaosheng couldn't get used to marrying a wife and taking a concubine, so he said: "It's not impossible, although you can't accept a concubine, but don't forget that you still have a wife who is marrying Ming Media." β
Tang Bohu raised his head and looked at him in surprise, "You said Zhaorong?" He laughed, "What are you kidding?" You know that Zhaorong and I are in name only, we are like sisters and brothers, and besides, she is so much older than me, and she was injured in the early years, it is impossible for us to do it. My father told me to pass on the incense, what can I do if I can't give birth? β
Chen Xiaosheng sat back behind the counter and looked through the account book, and said lightly: "You also know the Huashen doctor in Changle Fang, you haven't taken her to see her, how do you know that you can't see it?" Then you plan to love the woman you like in the future, and make your real wife alone? β
Tang Bohu was a little speechless, "This...... It's been like this all these years, Zhaorong is a young grandmother at home, people respect her, my father and I are very good to her, how can you say that she is alone? β
Wen Zhengming tapped his palm twice with a fan, frowned, and said: "Bohu, Lao Zhu is right, no matter what, you are both husband and wife, now you want to find someone you like to marry back, what should Zhaorong do?" He looked at Chen Xiaosheng and asked, "Lao Zhu, why did you suddenly remember that Zhaorong was here?" β
Chen Xiaosheng said with a smile: "Maybe it's because I became a relative and had a wife, so I noticed these things." In the past, Zhaorong didn't have a sense of existence, Bohu didn't treat her as a wife, and we didn't treat her as a brother's wife. I remember that sometimes Zhaorong took a sedan chair to pick up Bohu, she asked Bohu to sit in a sedan chair, and she walked by herself. Bohu would ask us to sit in a sedan chair together, but he never thought about whether Zhaorong would be tired, as if Zhaorong should let him take care of him, now think about it, where is this wife? Zhaorong is clearly the big girl next to Bohu! β
Tang Bohu stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Lao Zhu, you married Qiuyue as your wife, and I came to congratulate you as a brother, without the slightest intention of destruction, I didn't expect you to be unable to tolerate me?" If you don't want to be a brother with me, just say it, I, Tang Bohu, will leave immediately without saying a word, and I won't come back in the future! β
Wen Zhengming grabbed Tang Bohu and persuaded: "What kind of temper are you experiencing, how can Lao Zhu think like that?" You sit down first, talk slowly, don't be so impulsive. I wish you right? β
Chen Xiaosheng didn't raise his head, and said while dialing the abacus: "I am in love with Qiuyue, whoever wants to destroy has no chance, you don't have the heart to destroy, it's right, do you think you didn't come to destroy, I still have to be grateful to you?" There are so many people who like Autumn Moon, and if they all think like you, then I really don't know how many people I have to thank for it. β
Tang Bohu frowned, "What do you mean?" β
Chen Xiaosheng said: "I don't mean anything, I just kindly remind you that you and Zhaorong are husband and wife, if you want to marry someone else, how many people you marry, she will smile and help you Zhang Luo, but she has a husband in this life is the same as not, you will let her stay in the Tang family for a lifetime as a widow." You said you treat her as a sister, why didn't you think about finding yourself a brother-in-law? He raised his head to look at Tang Bohu's dark face, and said lightly, "If you don't like to hear it, then I won't say it, anyway, it has nothing to do with me." β
Tang Bohu pushed Wen Zhengming away, looked at Chen Xiaosheng and said: "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, since you don't welcome me, I'll go!" β
Tang Bohu strode out, Wen Zhengming couldn't stop him, and said hurriedly: "Lao Zhu, what are you doing with him?" β
Chen Xiaosheng said: "Do you also think that Zhaorong should be widowed at home? Or do you think it doesn't matter how many more girls marry Tang Bohu? Do you think Tang Bohu will treat them well? Zhengming, a woman's marriage is a lifelong event, and it would be irresponsible for a man to marry someone back casually, would you marry someone you don't like in order to go to a scientific examination? β
Wen Zhengming immediately retorted, "Of course not!" After speaking, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Bohu, he ......."
Chen Xiaosheng opened the fan and fanned it, and said: "As the saying goes, if you don't speculate for more than half a sentence, you don't want to conspire with each other, if Tang Bohu keeps treating women as clothes like this, I don't think I have anything to say to him." β
Wen Zhengming hurriedly said: "No, if he does something wrong, we tell him, and he will change it." β
"Then let's wait for him to change, when I was greedy for money in the past, you also beat me, right? Haven't I confessed my mistake yet? It doesn't make sense that he loses his temper when he's wrong. Chen Xiaosheng got up and walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Zhengming, don't worry about these things, everyone has been brothers for so many years, don't you see him wrong and don't say it?" That's what hurt the innocent girls who hurt him and hurt him. If it weren't for his father marrying him a child daughter-in-law in order to save his life, how could he become a married man when he didn't understand feelings? If his father hadn't forced him to take a concubine and have children, how could he have caused so many troubles? Even if he doesn't look at women in his eyes, it's his father's teaching. β
Wen Zhengming sighed and agreed: "What you said is also right, my mother taught me since I was a child, the Wen family is not allowed to take concubines, and if you marry a virtuous and virtuous wife in the future, you must treat her well, and only when the husband and wife are harmonious can the family be prosperous." β
Chen Xiaosheng smiled: "That's right, I won't take a concubine." Okay, it's not early, let's go to my house for dinner, I stewed chicken in Qiuyue today. β
Wen Zhengming smiled and waved his hand, "No, don't bother you, my mother is still waiting for me to go back to eat, then I'll go." β
Chen Xiaosheng nodded, "Okay, come to my house for dinner another day when you have time, Qiuyue is very easy to get along with." β
After Wen Zhengming left, Chen Xiaosheng stood at the door and glanced to the side, then shook his head and closed the study and walked home. After a while, Tang Bohu walked out of the alley next to the study, looking at the direction Chen Xiaosheng left and was stunned, "Is it really my mistake?" β
Tang Bohu recalled the scene of getting along with Lu Zhaorong over the years, and felt that there was nothing wrong with everyone being happy, although they were a husband and wife in name only, didn't Lu Zhaorong also live well in the Tang family? What is the widow? What is alone?
"Bohu? Bohu, why are you standing here alone? What about Gongzi Wen and Gongzi Zhu? β
Tang Bohu came back to his senses, and when he turned his head, he saw Lu Zhaorong walking towards him, followed by a sedan chair. He instantly thought of Chen Xiaosheng's words, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say.
Lu Zhaorong looked at his face and wondered, "What's wrong?" What are you thinking? Didn't you come out with Gongzi Wen? Is something going on? β
Tang Bohu shook his head and said, "Zhaorong, you can sit in a sedan chair, I can walk as a big man." β
Lu Zhaorong said puzzledly: "Then how can it be done?" Of course, you make a sedan chair, I'll just walk and follow, let's go, the lord and the lady are waiting for you to go back, and you will be scolded if you go back late. β
Tang Bohu laughed self-deprecatingly, "Yes, they always treat me as a child who doesn't grow up, and I have to scold at every turn, I really don't have any freedom at all." β
Lu Zhaorong frowned slightly, and asked with some concern, "Bohu, what's wrong with you?" Did they quarrel with Mr. Wen? The three of you brothers grew up together, so it's good to make things clear, don't think too much. β
Tang Bohu lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Okay, let's go back." But I'll walk with you, and we'll talk. β
Lu Zhaorong was stunned, nodded and responded, "Okay." β
The two walked side by side, Lu Zhaorong looked at Tang Bohu and asked, "Is there something you can't figure out?" If so, just say it, although I don't know much, but I'm a few years older than you, maybe I can help? β
Tang Bohu paused, and said as if unintentionally: "Zhaorong, have you felt wronged in the Tang family for so many years?" β
Lu Zhaorong hurriedly said: "So wronged? My father-in-law and mother-in-law are very kind to me, and if they hadn't taken me in, I don't know what would have happened, and I am very grateful. β
Tang Bohu breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Then your identity is my wife, and I will marry someone I like in the future, what should you do?" β
Lu Zhaorong was stunned for a moment, his smile faded, and said, "The Tang family is so big, how can there be a place for me." When the time comes, our family will be happy together like now, and if you and your sister want to live alone, I will take care of my father-in-law and mother-in-law at home. No matter what, life is the same. The Tang family is kind to me, and the Tang family is also my home. What's wrong? Why did you suddenly remember to ask this? β
Tang Bohu heard the meaning of her words, so he was even more silent. Because of kindness, Lu Zhaorong will not complain for half a sentence, no matter what he does, Lu Zhaorong's life is the same, because it is as plain as water, so he will not be too happy, nor too sad, just one day at a time. Tang Bohu suddenly felt very sorry for her, and blurted out the words of apology, "Zhaorong, I'm sorry for you, in order to fight that curse, I married you as a wife before I grew up, it was I who hurt you, it was the Tang family who hurt you, it's so unfair to you." Now that the grievances between the Zhou and Tang families have been resolved, we will reconcile, or you divorce me, so that the Tang family can no longer bind you. β
Lu Zhaorong was shocked, "What did you say?!" You're going to divorce me? β
Tang Bohu looked puzzled, and didn't understand why she reacted like this, "It's not me who divorces you, it's you who divorce me, so that others won't think you're wrong, and you can go to find your own happiness." By the way, I can still recognize you as my sister, and in the future, you will still be a member of the Tang family, and I can also have one more brother-in-law, our family is still as happy as before, how good? β
Lu Zhaorong's eyes were already full of tears, he looked at him in disbelief, and asked, "Shall I divorce you?" Everyone in Suzhou City knows that I am the daughter-in-law of your Tang family, what do you tell others to think of me? What do you think of my father-in-law and mother-in-law? How will I meet people in the future? You, you still want to have another brother-in-law? What the hell am I doing wrong and why are you doing this to me? β
Lu Zhaorong cried and ran back to the Tang Mansion, Tang Bohu took a step slower, chased all the way behind her, panted and chased her bedroom, and slammed the door hard, "Zhaorong, Zhaorong, you open the door, you open the door, Zhaorong, I'm for your good, Zhaorong?" β
"What's wrong, what's going on?" Mrs. Tang walked over and frowned when she saw him like this.
Tang Bohu hurriedly said: "Mother, you came just in time, help me persuade Zhaorong, she is angry with me." β
Mrs. Tang was surprised: "Zhaorong is angry with you? How can it be? What did you do? β
Tang Bohu was puzzled, "Mother, I didn't do anything, I think that since the grievances between the Zhou and Tang families have been resolved, there is no need to sacrifice Zhaorong to break that curse, it is better to let Zhaorong leave me to find the person she really likes." When the time comes, I will recognize Zhaorong as my sister, we are still a family, isn't that good? Who knew that Zhaorong ran back crying after hearing this, and I couldn't open the door no matter how I screamed. β
Mrs. Tang was shocked: "What? Are you going to be separated from Zhaorong? What difference does it make if you divorce her or if she divorces you? One daughter doesn't serve the second husband, she married you to be a member of our Tang family, and if she dies, she will enter the ancestral grave of the Tang family, how can she find someone she likes? How did you bastard come up with such an idea? Are you going to me off? β
Tang Bohu looked at her a little blankly and asked, "Mother, then let Zhaorong stay in the Tang family for the rest of his life?" You know that she and I are in name only. β
Mrs. Tang said angrily: "Then let 'in name and without substance' become 'real'!" You are a husband and wife for one day, and you will be a husband and wife for the rest of your life, in short, I will never allow you and Zhaorong to be separated, don't even think about it! β
Mrs. Tang came to her senses, grabbed him again and asked, "You haven't said why you suddenly mentioned this kind of thing?" Did you fall in love with the girl again? That girl doesn't want to be a concubine? Then you can't be wronged by Zhaorong, have you forgotten how good Zhaorong has been to you over the years? β
Tang Bohu shook his head, "No, it's Lao Zhu who said that I have wronged Zhaorong over the years, and also said that I can take Zhaorong to see Doctor Hua, maybe Doctor Hua can cure Zhaorong." β
"What? It's true? Mrs. Tang grabbed Tang Bohu excitedly and said happily, "Yes, Hua Shen's medical skills are superb, and Hua Tuo is alive, so there may be a way to find him." Without further ado, let's go to Changle Fang! β
Tang Guangde came over and asked, "Who said you want to go to Changle Fang?" What are you doing in that smoky place? β
Mrs. Tang gave him a blank look and said with a smile: "Of course it's a good thing, let's go to Dr. Hua Shen to show Zhaorong, maybe we can be optimistic about Zhaorong's body, and our grandson will have hope!" β
Tang Guangde was stunned for a moment, nodded unwillingly: "I won't go, you can take her there." β
Tang Bohu didn't expect it to be like this, and said hurriedly: "Mother, I didn't mean that." β
Mrs. Tang frowned and said, "Don't you want to heal Zhaorong?" β
Tang Bohu hurriedly explained: "No, mother, of course I hope that Zhaorong's body can be healed......"
Mrs. Tang waved her hand without waiting for him to finish speaking, and said, "Then wait for Zhaorong to be healed and talk about other things, it's not early, let's pack up and go." Forget it, don't go, you study at home, I'll take Zhaorong there. β
Lu Zhaorong heard what they said outside, and then he opened the door and walked out, looking at Mrs. Tang with both nervousness and excitement, and asked, "Mother-in-law, can you really be cured?" β
Mrs. Tang stepped forward to help her wipe away her tears, and said with pity: "Silly child, let's try it, it's a good thing, don't cry." Bohu, that bastard knows how to be angry all day long, don't be like him. β
Lu Zhaorong nodded, and his heart had already flown to Changle Fang. Seeing them like this, Tang Bohu couldn't say much, so he went to the study in an irritable mood.
Mrs. Tang and Lu Zhaorong went for three days, and during these three days, Su Xueyun also went to Changle Fang once, and then Chen Xiaosheng asked her, "Why do you care about Zhaorong?" Didn't you say that you would ignore the Tang family? β
Su Xueyun said: "Lest Tang Bohu go to the capital to beat my sister's idea." It would be best if he could get along with his wife, and I heard that Zhaorong had always regretted and blamed himself for not being able to give birth, so I should help her. In fact, even if there is no me, Dr. Hua may not be able to cure her, but none of them in the family have thought of it. β
Chen Xiaosheng smiled and shook his head, "This is feudal society, Zhaorong, who was adopted by the Tang family, is kind to her, so naturally she doesn't care so much, plus she can't give birth, and she has committed seven crimes, Tang Guangde may think that she is okay if she doesn't leave." She was probably used to it herself, and she didn't think about going to find any miracle doctor. β
Su Xueyun lowered her head and said with some loss: "The biggest bad thing in ancient times is that our children and grandchildren will be oppressed by feudal society, and when we are gone, we don't know what will happen to them." β
Chen Xiaosheng was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, at least we still have a few decades to pave the way for them, some changes are gradual, and they may not be able to benefit when they grow up." β
Su Xueyun was surprised: "You mean you want to do things for the imperial court?" β
Chen Xiaosheng nodded, "I've been reading books all this time, in fact, it's like reviewing, the knowledge is in my head, since I'm going to take the exam, I think I just take the exam well, if I have the opportunity to take out the useful things in the future life, it would be the best." β
Su Xueyun frowned when she thought of the faint monarch today, she also wanted to take out useful things and benefit everyone, but what can the emperor do? She is just a commoner now, if she wants to change the dynasty, she really wants to succeed and the bones will wither, and the gains outweigh the losses, she wants to be good for the people, not to step on the people.
But now that it's the Ming Dynasty, thinking of the killings that will happen in the future, she should still think of a way to do something.
The two of them are still unclear about the environment in the capital, and it is too early to say what they planned, but Chen Xiaosheng studied harder, and Su Xueyun hired a reliable and clever shopkeeper to take care of the study, and she still knew more about business than Chen Xiaosheng. Then Su Xueyun packed up all the things at home, prepared the things that their husband and wife and Xiaolian needed to go to the capital, hired a boat, deposited silver, and after everything was done, it was time to enter Beijing.
During this time, not only Chen Xiaosheng and Su Xueyun were busy, but everyone else was also very busy. Wen Zhengming is almost a cantilever thorn strand, Tang Bohu begged Tang Guangde to let him go every day, Xiaolian and Huashen Medicine how to acupuncture Zhou Wenbin's arm, and Lu Zhaorong drank decoction and medicine every day to regulate his body. By the time he entered Beijing, Lu Zhaorong's body had already improved a little, and Tang Guangde finally relented and asked Lu Zhaorong to accompany Tang Bohu into Beijing, on the one hand, he thought that Lu Zhaorong could take care of Tang Bohu, and on the other hand, he also wanted to hug his grandson as soon as possible. Although Tang Bohu felt embarrassed, as long as he could enter Beijing, he could do anything, and Lu Zhaorong naturally would not have an opinion. Zhou Wenbin's arm was cured by a dozen and a half, and the rest was very simple, just let Zhu Xiaolian give him acupuncture every day. Because of this relationship, Zhou Wenbin and Zhu Xiaolian have a lot of harmony between them, and they have never heard the sound of their quarrel again.
The boat hired by Su Xueyun was large enough for all of them to ride, and of course, the cost of going to Beijing was not a small amount. Tang Guangde didn't want Tang Bohu to go with them, but the road was far away, and if they were left alone, no one could guarantee that there would be no accidents, and they would ruin the two families like Tang Yu and Zhou Yuancai did back then. In the end, Mrs. Tang said peace, and they still stepped on the boat together.
The whole city of Suzhou came to say goodbye, Chen Xiaosheng stood at the stern of the boat and waved his hand to them, and whispered to Su Xueyun: "At first, I didn't want to take the test, but later I learned that if I got the reputation of a talented man, I had to bear everyone's hopes." If any of us win the top prize, the whole city of Suzhou will have a light on their faces. β
Su Xueyun smiled: "Then do you want to take the top prize?" β
Chen Xiaosheng shook his head, "I know how many catties and taels I have, it's good to be able to take the Jinshi exam, this is really not what I'm good at." However, how to develop in the future does not depend entirely on the imperial examination, so let's adapt to the situation when you arrive in the capital. β
The boat had sailed far away, and the people on the shore could no longer see it, and several people went back to the cabin to rest, drink tea, and look at the water. Su Xueyun directly picked a place farthest away from Tang Bohu, Chen Xiaosheng, Zhu Xiaolian and Zhou Wenbin naturally followed her, Wen Zhengming looked left and right, and felt that Tang Bohu and Lu Zhaorong were a little lonely here, so they had to sit next to Tang Bohu. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, but no one took the initiative to ease it.
Tang Bohu's gaze fell uncontrollably on Su Xueyun, but Su Xueyun didn't look at him, Su Xueyun was annoyed with him not only because he was sorry for Qiu Yue, but also because he was arrogant and irresponsible. In addition to his attitude towards Qiu Yue, Qiu Xiang, and Lu Zhaorong, there was another time, Tang Bohu thought that Qiu Xiang didn't want to live anymore if he died, and wanted to do something before committing suicide.
The most excessive thing is that in order to make Wen Zhengming believe him, he actually touched the ass of the county lord Ting! The county lord of Pingting was already married to Wen Zhengming at that time, and she was still pregnant with Liujia, so she was insulted by her husband's good brother, if this is an ancient woman with a stronger temperament, I am afraid that she will have the heart to hang herself! No matter what reason Tang Bohu had, the only reason he did it was that he didn't take women seriously in his bones. Later, he also recruited relatives in a big way, saying that he liked to be lewd. A woman, with great fanfare, accepts eight concubines at a time. If it weren't for Qiu Xiang getting the news to appear in the wedding hall, he would have visited those women, and he never thought about what would happen to those women after marrying him!
And as soon as Qiu Xiang appeared, he immediately stopped pretending, and the matter of taking concubines was naturally over, those women were already standing on the wedding hall and were lifted their hijabs, and the guests in the hall saw it, how can the impact on reputation be calculated? Tang Bohu doesn't care about all of them, what he cares about most from beginning to end is only himself, he can do whatever he wants, but he is always in Shanghai, it's really annoying!
Several people were silent for a long time, and it was not until Wen Zhengming discussed with them about learning that the four of them gradually spoke. Lu Zhaorong was very familiar with Zhu Xiaolian in the past, and slowly he could talk about some family affairs between women, Su Xueyun could talk to them, but he never paid attention to Tang Bohu, and later Tang Bohu also learned to be obedient, and he didn't come to her anymore.
They arrived in the capital in such a harmonious and discordant atmosphere, and after going ashore, Su Xueyun hired a carriage and asked the groom to send them directly to the Six Arts Hall in the capital, who knew that the groom didn't know what the place was, or Su Xueyun showed the address to the groom, and the groom sent them into an alley.
Zhu Xiaolian saw the only dilapidated house in front of her, frowned, and said, "What kind of place is this?" Did the owner of the Zhou Pavilion write the wrong address? There is no academy at all. β
Zhou Wenbin looked around and agreed: "This place is empty, you can see it all at a glance, and it is not much better than the broken temple that I passed by before." β
Chen Xiaosheng took the note from Su Xueyun's hand, compared it for a long time, and hesitated: "This is it, that's right." Otherwise, we'd better split up and see if anyone can ask. β
As soon as he finished speaking, a white-haired old man walked over there, picking up things on the side of the road all the way, stuffing them into the back basket to see what was useful, looking very depressed. Lu Zhaorong walked over and said politely: "This old man, may I ask if you know where the Six Arts Hall is?" β
The old man straightened up to look at them, pointed to the dilapidated house and laughed, "Six Arts Guild Hall? Isn't that what it is? β
Several people looked over in surprise, and Tang Bohu's face was full of disbelief, "How is this possible, there is not even a plaque here, it is deserted, and it is almost the same as a deserted house." β
The old man walked over like a fly, turned up a broken wooden board on the ground at the door and showed them, and it was written the four big characters of "Six Arts Hall". After the old man showed them this, he threw the plank back, stepped on the plank and walked into the yard, and beckoned: "You must still be from Suzhou, come in." β
Wen Zhengming shouted in pain: "How can you step on the plaque of the Six Arts Hall? You're ......."
Wen Zhengming saw that the old man was gone, so he immediately ran over to pick up the plaque and wipe it, and then carefully moved it into the yard. The rest of the men looked at each other and followed. Although Su Xueyun was mentally prepared, he still couldn't stand the smell of chicken manure in the hall.
The old man found an egg in the chicken coop in the corner and said happily, "Save two more and sell them." β
Chen Xiaosheng glanced at the situation in the house a few times, and already had a general understanding of this place, and wondered: "The Six Arts Hall in Suzhou is very famous, why did the Six Arts Hall in the capital end up in such a field?" β
The old man said casually: "Fame is fame, but don't you look at how much money the Six Arts Guild in Suzhou owes others?" This place in the capital is expensive, and if there is no silver to bring it, it will naturally be down. I'm telling you, it's not easy to leave such a big place now, although it's a little broken, but it's okay to study hard in the cold window. β
Tang Bohu said: "We are famous talents in Jiangnan, don't we help here at all?" β
The old man said, "Of course it didn't help, not only did it not, but it also caused us to be ridiculed." Talented people are just a false name, every man who comes out of the capital is a young talent, how many champions have been produced in other academies, how many jinshi, what about our Six Arts Hall? said that it was invincible in the world, but no one came to participate in the scientific expedition. Our Six Arts Hall has long been reduced to a laughing stock. β
Tang Bohu clenched his fan and said angrily: "We just disdained the test in the past, but this time we are here, the champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua must be from our Six Arts Club!" β
The old man shook his head with a smile and said nonchalantly: "It's a good thing for young people to have dreams, then I wish you success." By the way, I forgot to introduce, my name is Shen Zhou, I am the owner here, you come here on the first day, I will cook for you. β
After Shen Zhou finished speaking, he went to the kitchen, Lu Zhaorong and Zhu Xiaolian glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed to help. Tang Bohu frowned and said, "What did Pavilion Master Shen mean just now?" He doesn't believe we can get in? β
Zhou Wenbin put the burden on the table and said, "Students from all over the world come to take the imperial examination, and it is not surprising that the master of the Shen Pavilion does not believe it. In fact, he is right, the so-called talent is just a false name, and only by being admitted to the fame can he be looked down upon by others. β
Tang Bohu sneered, "Smart people naturally know how many skills our four great talents in Jiangnan have, as for those who are not smart, we don't have to care about their opinions at all." β
Wen Zhengming looked at the dilapidated house and hesitated: "You still need to pay attention to it, if we had come to take the imperial examination earlier, this place would not have fallen like this." β
Su Xueyun didn't want to see Tang Bohu's arrogant appearance, so she said "unaccompanied" and pulled Chen Xiaosheng to clean up the residence. Seeing this, Tang Bohu closed his mouth and sat on the side unhappily, suddenly remembering the time before he met Qiu Yue. At that time, the three brothers were inseparable, they treated each other with all sincerity, and they all advanced and retreated together, but now? Now Chen Xiaosheng and Su Xueyun are like conjoined babies, and they often disagree with him, and he is really happy for a day.
At lunchtime, potato chips, shredded potatoes, potato wedges, ...... In short, all kinds of potatoes were set on the table, but the bowl that should have been filled with rice was clean and there was nothing, so it was still a very rich meal in the Beijing Guild Hall, so that they completely understood how big the gap between here and Suzhou was. Originally, they were clouds in the sky in Suzhou, but when they arrived in the capital, it was really a little dust on the soles of the nobles' feet, and no one knew them.
This huge gap made Tang Bohu feel very uncomfortable, and he wanted to prove himself even more. Wen Zhengming went directly back to the room to study hard, but Chen Xiaosheng and Su Xueyun didn't think about anything, cleaned the bedroom and slept well.
The next day, they each took some silver and decided to buy some rice and noodles for the Six Arts Hall first, since they were students of the Six Arts Hall, they couldn't let the Beijing branch be so down. Pavilion Master Shen is the junior brother of Pavilion Master Zhou, and Su Xueyun has to call him uncle, so they spend this money willingly.
A few people had nothing to do anyway, so they went out to buy things together, and by the way, they also walked around the capital to see what new places there were. Zhu Xiaolian is the youngest, and she is the most curious about the capital, and when she sees the stalls on both sides of the street, she always has to stop and take a look, and she walks too slowly, so Su Xueyun and Lu Zhaorong accompany her to look slowly in the back, and let the four men go in front.
Zhu Xiaolian walked into the store, picked up a jade bracelet and asked, "Sister-in-law, is this good-looking?" You like to ask my brother to buy it for you. β
Su Xueyun raised her wrist and touched the table above, and said with a smile: "I still prefer this one, this one is enough." If you like it, try it, and my sister-in-law will buy it for you. β
Lu Zhaorong saw the cloisonnΓ© enamel bracelet she was wearing on her wrist and praised it, "It's really beautiful, it matches you, Zhu Gongzi is really attentive to you." β
Su Xueyun smiled and didn't speak, seeing that Zhu Xiaolian liked the bracelet very much, she paid the silver directly, and said with a smile: "Wear it, you look good when you wear it." β
Zhu Xiaolian said happily: "Thank you, sister-in-law!" β
There are still many good-looking jewelry in the store, but Zhu Xiaolian didn't ask for it anymore, but pulled the two of them to chase Chen Xiaosheng and them. Who knew that he didn't go far before he heard the commotion in front of him, there were many women arguing, Su Xueyun heard the voices of those women from a distance, and couldn't help but stop and look up.
Chen Xiaosheng and the four of them had stopped, and in front of them were more than 20 women dressed as maids, all holding sticks in their hands, arguing about finding someone to settle accounts.
"Xia Xiang, you tell us who cheated you out of your money, so many of our sisters must have beaten him to his knees and begged for mercy!"
The woman's noise brought the four of them back to their senses, and Chen Xiaosheng looked at the woman opposite and stood aside to make way for them. Although Zhou Wenbin was at a loss, he also followed Chen Xiaosheng to the side. Tang Bohu looked straight at the woman opposite, a little confused and incredible, while Wen Zhengming pointed at the woman opposite with a fan and exclaimed, "How did Qiuyue become like this?" No, Lao Zhu, isn't Qiu Yue and Xiaolian behind? How did she run to the front? β
Lu Zhaorong and Zhu Xiaolian also saw the group of women opposite, they looked at Su Xueyun at the same time, and their eyes couldn't hide their surprise, "Why is it so similar?!" β
