Chapter Forty-Eight: The Strange Woman
After the county test, Shen Ziwen avoided people's eyes and ears and went to the teahouse where he discussed a meeting with Zhou Zuoren. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Zhou Zuoren was wearing an ordinary long shirt, followed by an old man in his sixties and seventies, his clothes were ragged, and even there was a hole in the toe of his shoe, revealing his toes.
"Someone brought?"
Shen Ziwen looked at the three sects and nine streams in the teahouse, and there was no familiar one, so he was relieved to talk.
"How can Shen Gongzi's confession not be done well?" Zhou Zuoren smiled and said, "This is Shen Gongzi." β
The old man took a step forward, bowed down and said, "I've seen Shen Gongzi, the old Li Songyan." β
Shen Ziwen leaned back slightly, the old man's body was dirty, as if he hadn't washed for several months, his hair was scattered and greasy, he could even faintly smell the sour smell and the smell of wine, and the dirt on the placket of the old man's chest made him want to vomit.
Shen Ziwen's face did not change, and he only wiped his nose with his index knuckle.
"I've seen Li Xiucai."
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, just ask Shen Gongzi to order."
Shen Ziwen has never seen such a down-and-out Xiucai, just like calling Huazi, it is said that Xiucai can already go to the government on an errand, and those who are unfortunate can go to the restaurant to settle accounts and shopkeepers, right? No matter how bad it is to set up a stall on the street to sell couplets and write letters to people, it will not end up like this.
But everyone who reads has a sense of arrogance, how can Xiucai be committed to being such an inferior person? So there are many down-and-out.
Shen Ziwen thinks he is wise to take the line of Lin Mansion, otherwise, how can he have the scenery he has today?
"Master Zhou must have explained it to you, I only have one sentence, you must dictate it well, don't show any horses, are things ready?"
Li Songyan stretched his neck and nodded, and took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
"It's all written, Shen Gongzi, please take a look."
Shen Ziwen was about to pick it up, when he saw that the oil stains on the paper were yellow, he suddenly lost interest, and waved his hand to signal him to take it back.
"Don't look at it, Master Zhou thinks carefully about doing things, and nothing will go wrong."
"That's that, that's."
Zhou Zuoren smiled and said, "But, Shen Gongzi, will we really work this time?" β
"This time it's different, last time it was somewhat groundless, I underestimated Feng Yuanjun's reliance on Mei Xueyan, but this time we have all the evidence, and we can already implement Mei Xueyan's crimes, and that is Lu Tixue, the famous gentleman's sword in our Huatong Mansion, the most can't hide dirt and dirt."
Zhou Zuoren also agreed, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, he took everything on his own this time, and he couldn't be careless.
"You say, Lu Tixue shouldn't cover Mei Xueyan, right?"
"How is that possible?"
Shen Ziwen sneered: "Mei Xueyan is a student of Feng Yuanjun, he has a selfish mood, but Lu Tixue has nothing to do with Mei Xueyan, and in the examination room, I saw Mei Xueyan's exam paper snatched away by him, and later Feng Yuanjun argued with him and drove Mei Xueyan out of the examination room." β
"So, she must be off the list this time?"
"Although Feng Qiumo pleaded and did not cut her literary position, but in the hands of Lu Tixue, it is doomed to fall off the list, let's say that it is a little ugly to fall into the well, but this woman has hurt us so badly, we must cut the grass and eradicate the roots!"
Shen Ziwen is not only for his aunt Shen, but also for his own future, with Mei Xueyan here, he can only live in her shadow forever, only without her, can he get ahead!
And Zhou Zuoren hates Mei Xueyan even more, if it weren't for her, Zhou Zuoren would not have lost his teaching position, he, he used to have gifts from the parents of the students, he lived a free and comfortable life, he didn't save money in the past, and now his life is extremely hard, it's really tight, and he can only rely on Shen Ziwen.
Feng Qiumo, Lu Tixue and Wu County Ling have already driven out the evaluation of the county examination papers overnight, and personally marked the papers and wrote the list, at this moment, they looked at the desk, and it was the Xiucai list and an exam paper, and the Xiucai list was only missing the name of Maocai, the top of the list.
The three of them looked at each other and remained silent.
"This Mei Xueyan...... What a problem for us. β
Feng Qiumo said with a smile and a smile, Mei Xueyan is the jade he discovered, although it slowly bloomed, but it did not attract the attention of the Zuo Xiang faction, if this article is published to the world and seen by the people of the Academy of Literature, it will definitely offend the people of the Zuo Xiang, is it to cover up its edge or add fuel to the fire?
"Last time, the right minister personally commented on Mei Xueyan and praised her character, some people have already complained about her, classifying her as half of the right minister's protΓ©gΓ©, and I didn't mention it to her at the time, but it's good now, she bumped into it by herself."
Lu Tixue and Wu Xianling didn't speak, and Wu Xianling took the exam paper and appreciated it for a long time before putting it down.
"Huh?"
"How?" Feng Qiumo's eyes lit up and asked, "Do you have an idea?" β
"Ahem, no."
Wu Xianling's face flushed, he took a pair of Mei Xueyan's manuscripts last time, but he couldn't help this time, and he felt a little indebted in his heart.
Feng Qiumo scolded: "Then what are you doing!" β
"I found that Mei Xueyan's words are like two people compared to a month ago!"
Feng Qiumo was entangled, and was reminded by Wu County's order, only then did he pay attention to Mei Xueyan's words, he read the paper for the first time, Mei Xueyan's words were simply crawling on a dog, unsightly, and later at the Melting Snow Literature Conference, although the words were neat, but they didn't look like a reader writing them at all, and he deliberately mentioned it.
And this exam paper, the font is unique and dignified, smooth as water at first glance, and the faint delicate appearance is exposed when you look closely, and the style is unique.
"Words?" Lu Tixue didn't know this, and said confusedly, "This character is really good, worthy of Maocai's identity, I can't write it without more than ten years of pen power." β
"Ten years?" Wu Xianling said funny, "A month ago, her handwriting was no different from that of a six-year-old naughty child!" It's only been a month, and it's been a lot of progress, isn't it? β
"A month!"
Lu Tixue exclaimed: "You are not scolding me, are you? How can you practice words well in a month? β
"Lu Tixue, you haven't seen her words before, I still have a poem hanging in my house, to be honest, if it weren't for that poem, it's just a word, I'm ashamed to hang it on my wall!"
"And such wonders?"
Lu Tixue thought for a while and said, "What a strange woman...... Feng Yuanjun, from what you say, she must not be an impatient person, she is worthy of the name of Maocai! Let's just want to protect her, but to become a talent, sharpening is indispensable, don't forget, no matter how powerful the left minister is, there is still the queen mother in the middle of the court to support the situation! β
Just as Lu Tixue was about to fill in Mei Xueyan's name on the talent list in person, someone outside reported it.
"Lu Tixue, Wu County Order...... There are drums outside the county office! β
Wu County's face is a little unbearable, and if someone beats the drum, it means that there is a grievance under the rule.
"Who?"
"He said that he was the former teacher of the county school, and he wanted to sue Mei Xueyan for cheating!"
