Chapter 16: The Reckless Son
"Uncle Zhao, you can also go into the corridor to hide from the wind and snow. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Mei Xueyan was not in a hurry to sit down, seeing that it was snowing again, the old man Zhao ran to this wilderness to see them off to be frozen, she couldn't help it, this old man was old, Mei Xueyan wanted him to wait for him in the snow for a few hours, and he really couldn't feel at ease. Invite him into the porch with him.
Old man Zhao's ox cart was smooth, unlike the horse-drawn carriage with a canopy curtain.
Old man Zhao saw that it was full of rich and noble sons or talented Confucian scholars, how dare he get involved.
"Still can't do it, I'll just hide from the snow under the ox cart!"
"It's okay, this corridor is so big, and there is open space, and it can't get in the way."
Mei Xueyan grabbed him and went to get him a futon, and the old man Zhao sat down a little restrainedly, seeing that those students were looking at him, and some of them covered their mouths and noses, and gently moved their bodies, for fear that the smell on his body would be smoked.
"Case Chief Mei, all of us in the Literary Association are literati and scholars, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this, right?"
Shen Ziwen sat diagonally across from Mei Xueyan's table, and his loud voice attracted most of the attention.
"Uncle is just sheltering from the wind and snow, the corridor is so spacious, he sits aside and doesn't speak, he won't disturb everyone, if you are presumptuous, Yan Niang will make a compensation first."
Mei Xueyan stood up and bent her knees, her seat at the end of the corridor, which was inconspicuous.
"Mei is the head of the case, things gather people in groups, and I still think that you are doing this, which is a bit abrupt."
The people here are all young masters and young ladies with good backgrounds, and the other is the talented children of the school, basically they don't deal with the villagers, and the old man Zhao is blackened by charcoal, and he smells of cow, of course, he is out of place.
Especially those fat young ladies, how can they stand such vulgarity, but they don't say it, they have a reputation of looking down on people in vain, and they will be pointed at because of their behavior when they go to their in-laws' house in the future.
"Shen Gongzi, you divide people into three, six, nine and so on, I don't argue. But at the beginning, the county ordered the adults to repair the Zhongshan Pavilion and the corridor, and no one was forbidden to enter, and everyone was the people of Lin'an County at the same time, you can sit and stand safely, why can't Uncle Zhao come in? If you say that the county magistrate has a ban, then I will go out with the old man now. ”
Zhongshan Pavilion is for visitors to enjoy the wind and moon, and it is also convenient for the people to rest.
Shen Ziwen was a little surprised, he just wanted to incite everyone to squeeze Mei Xueyan, but everyone was silent, but he became a bird.
"Mei's head of the case is one level higher than me in the township test, but why be so aggressive? It is also good in the meantime, if this old man is afraid of the cold, he can go to my carriage to take shelter from the wind, which is warmer than this porch. ”
Mei Xueyan ignored him anymore, holding hot tea to warm her hands, Shen Ziwen saw that no one talked, and sat down boringly.
Although the scholars no longer said anything, Uncle Zhao was still restless.
"Miss Mei, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm used to coming and going in the wind and rain, so I won't disturb you talented masters."
Old man Zhao bent down and bowed, Mei Xueyan apologized, not only failed to help him, but also put him in an embarrassing situation.
"Uncle Zhao, you take this umbrella first, it's better than braving the snow."
"Good Ratcha!"
Old man Zhao smiled at Mei Xueyan, took an umbrella and returned to his ox cart, helped the buffalo sweep the snow behind it, and then got into the ox cart and squatted.
Wu Xianling and Feng Qiumo didn't care about this matter, but their eyes kept glancing over here, which was better or worse, they had their own spring and autumn in their hearts, but they didn't say it. Wu Xianling was just about to stand up, but was interrupted by someone who came.
I saw a boy wearing a mink fur running into the corridor, his clothes were a little messy, he stepped on the mud on a snowy day, and even his trouser legs were stained.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I overslept, there's no carriage, I ran over, disturb!"
The funny appearance made everyone laugh, and they couldn't blame it, so the reckless son sat down, and directly opposite Mei Xueyan, the two late ones nodded to each other.
Feng Qiumo snorted with a huh, but didn't say anything.
Mei Xueyan glanced at this daredevil, the dress was not exaggerated, but the clothes and the crown on her head were all fine, she didn't recognize the goods, but she roughly guessed that none of the whole body was cheap.
Tall, broad shoulders and narrow waist, dignified posture, the key is that they are handsome, and their faces are kind, full of smiles, which makes people annoyed.
To be good-looking is to be blessed, and for his recklessness, everyone picks on him.
It's just that the mud on the legs is a bit of a bad scenery.
"The girl is too late, isn't she?"
The reckless son winked at Mei Xueyan, if it was an ordinary woman, I am afraid that he would think he was frivolous, but Mei Xueyan had never seen any male god star model in her memory in her previous life, so she only thought he was joking.
"yes."
Mei Xueyan couldn't help but snicker, this reckless son didn't stand up, sat or didn't sit, everyone was sitting upright and kneeling, he sat with his legs open, it was rare to see such a vulgar literati.
"Could it be that the girl is also oversleeping? On the way, I saw the girl's ox cart, and I was calling for you to come, but the girl did not hear. Let's sit opposite the table now, it's also fate, come, toast the girl! ”
The reckless boy drank it all by himself, and after drinking, he smashed the bar and his mouth was still unfinished, Mei Xueyan thought it was interesting, and then took a sip, and the wine warmed up when it entered her abdomen.
"My name is Song Jiexi, dare to ask the girl's name?"
"Song is a northern surname, and Gongzi is a northerner?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Junsheng pulled her sleeve and winked at her.
"Yan Niang, I know that this Song Jiexi is a notorious gangster." Chen Junsheng said secretly, "It is said that after I came to our Lin'an County three years ago to be admitted to Xiucai, I drank flower wine all day long, played around and had fun, and I didn't go to class a few times, so I was almost removed from Feng Yuanjun, so let's stay away from him." ”
Song Jiexi sat close, knowing that they were not whispering anything good about him, but as if he hadn't seen it, he smiled heartily.
"There are also people with the surname Song in the south, how does the girl know that I am from the north?"
"Northerners are more burly and rough, southerners are more agile and handsome, each with its own merits, and Gongzi does not speak and act like an elegant southerner, but more like a straightforward northerner."
Song Jiexi's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "The girl is the top spot in this year's township test, Mei Xueyan, the head of the Mei case, right?" Have you been to the North? ”
"No, as the book says."
Mei Xueyan secretly said that this person's mind is very active, and he can guess it in a few words.
"Today, when I see it, I will give the girl another drink!"
Song Jiexi took another sip of dry wine and poured it again unceremoniously, Mei Xueyan smiled secretly, how can this be respectful to her, obviously she is addicted to alcohol, and she is looking for an excuse to eat and drink.
Seeing that everyone was almost familiar with each other, and the Wenhui was also enthusiastic, Wu Xianling stood up and high-fived.
"Silence, students and guests. The meeting was jointly organized by the county school and the Lin school, and hosted by the Ma family, one is to promote student exchanges and learning, and the other is for this year's snow disaster. ”
Wu Xian Ling sighed and said solemnly: "Everyone has also seen it, it is still snowing in early March, and the spring land is not thawed, and the villagers cannot sow seeds, I am afraid that this year's harvest will be seriously injured, my county order is really anxious, in the drought season in ancient times, the college held a literary meeting to ask for rain, and the official decided to follow the example of the ancients, and the literary meeting will melt the snow!" ”
"It turns out that this is the origin of the Snow Melting Society, I thought it was Yongxue."
Mei Xueyan muttered to herself, her eyes fell on the charcoal basin in the middle, and she saw that Song Jiexi had already drunk a pot of wine after dividing five by two, and asked the maid to make a pot, which was resting on the charcoal fire to warm up.
Everyone was sitting precariously, looking at Wu Xianling, while Song Jiexi was drinking by himself, not taking the matter of Wenhui to heart. Xu was aware that someone was looking at him, Song Jiexi raised his head and grinned at Mei Xueyan.
"The girl looks at me like this, it makes me embarrassed, anyway, I can't write this poem, we have nothing to do, we have to eat and drink enough, right? Otherwise, it's a trip in vain. ”
"Childe, please."
Mei Xueyan also set her sights on snacks and food, and took a piece of chestnut cake, which was glutinous and sweet, and she couldn't stop eating.
"I'll just say don't pay attention to this bastard talent, he's a wine bag and a rice bag! Let's not get caught up in his bad habits. ”
Chen Junsheng muttered, looked at the various pastries on the table, swallowed his saliva restrainedly, and didn't dare to eat more.
After Wu Xianling finished sighing, the conversation changed.
"Since it is a literary meeting, there must be a literary competition to help the fun, I discussed it with Feng Yuanjun, the county school and the Lin school are facing off, one-on-one competition, including me, the nine masters and teachers are the judges, the theme is the beginning of spring or the end of winter, where is the talent of the two universities? Come up and draw lots! ”
All of you are ready to move, this is the best opportunity to promote your fame, but don't think that the name is false, there are real benefits with the fame, the simplest example, the same is the show of talent, the person with a high reputation can be sold for dozens of taels of silver, and those who are nameless, at most sell for a few pennies.
What's more, almost all the children of the rich families in Lin'an were present, in case Caixue was favored by which family, with the support of the family, it would not be smooth in the future?
Just like Shen Ziwen, he is not much different from ordinary children, just because he defected to his relatives in the Lin Mansion, he has the highest prestige among children.
If you are in love and marry the official lady, it will be even better.
"Huh? Do you want to participate? ”
The wine jug in Song Jiexi's hand hadn't been put down yet, and he had a bitter face, wanting to hide behind people.
Feng Yuanjun's eyes were like torches, and he snorted coldly: "Song Jiexi, don't be sluggish, like a manly man!" ”
Song Jiexi stood up very reluctantly, his legs seemed to be filled with copper juice, and he moved for a long time before moving over.
"Wu County Order, there is one less talent in the Lin Academy, and there is one more person in the county school."
"I quit! I'll just quit! ”
Song Jiexi's drooping head was raised, and before he could be happy, he was pressed down by Feng Yuanjun's cold eyes.
"Then find someone to replace you." Feng Qiumo thought for a moment and said, "Mei Xueyan, come here!" ”
