Chapter 15: Lateness

Between classmates and schools, there will often be literary meetings to exchange talents, and the masters also encourage students to fight with each other, which can promote and motivate students to make progress with each other. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This snow-melting literary meeting is jointly organized by the Lin school and the county school, it is a rare big literary meeting in a year, not only students, but also ordinary literati, young ladies who love talented people have come out, and can increase their knowledge, and it is beneficial to the friendship of men and women, if it is to promote a marriage at the literary meeting, it is also a good story.

"Yan Niang, are you ready? It's too late to be occupied! ”

Chen Junsheng was in a hurry outside, but he couldn't wait to see the world, so he took a day off from the bookstore shopkeeper.

Mei Xueyan looked at the overcast sky, maybe it would snow when she went out, and brought an umbrella.

"What's the hurry? Anyway, we're watching from the sidelines. ”

"Then we also have to sit in the front, we can see and hear clearly, otherwise we will be stuck behind and can only be in a hurry."

Chen Junsheng said with a smile, today Yan Niangzi finally dressed up, only wearing a silver hairpin with openwork, which looks quite plain.

Mei Xueyan got a reward of twenty taels, bought a new set of clothes for herself, Chen's mother and Chen Junsheng, and bought a silver hairpin for three taels, and the rest was handed over to Mrs. Chen to take care of, so she didn't have to worry about eating, drinking, and eating during this time.

When I went out, I happened to run into Shen and Hongzhi.

"Girl, where are you going?"

"Hello young lady." Mei Xueyan said hello and said, "Feng Yuanjun invited me to the Snow Melting Meeting, so I didn't have much to say hello." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly left, and Shen stood inside the gate, looking at her back, gritting his teeth in anger.

"See, I don't even care about the power of this day, is it really her family that Lin Mansion is her home? If you want to get in, you can get in and out, and you can mess with the guys on the counter in broad daylight, it's really shameless! ”

Her tone was sharp and loud, Mei Xueyan could naturally hear it, but she didn't pay attention to her, Chen Junsheng put away his smile, leaned to the side, three steps away from Mei Xueyan, and slowed down his pace, not side by side with her.

"Young lady, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry." Hong Zhi soothed, "She won't be able to stumble for long." ”

Chen Junsheng asked in a low voice, "Yanniang, aren't you angry?" She speaks so badly! ”

"I'm angry, but I can't fight her, let's just leave her alone."

Shen was a threat to inherit the family business in the future, and Mei Xueyan didn't want to marry Lin Sanlang at all, but now she can't get the deed back, so she can only live in the Lin Mansion, so she didn't take it to heart, Shen made it difficult for a few words, as long as it wasn't too excessive, she could bear it.

Outside the city wall in the south of the city, five carriages passed by in a short time, and it seemed that they were all going to the Snow Melting Society.

The meeting was held on the riverside in the southern suburbs of the city, ten miles away from Lin'an County.

"This piece has a carriage rental, why is it all missing today?"

Chen Junsheng asked the city on duty, only to know that many people are going to Wenhui today, and all the carriages here are rented, so Chen Junsheng is in a hurry.

"How did I forget this stubble, what can I do?"

"Wait and see if there is a carriage to give us a ride, if not, we can walk."

"That's not good, the road is slippery this day, I'm nothing, how can you walk ten miles, Yanniang?"

Mei Xueyan chuckled, she was not a daughter, she was not so pretentious that she couldn't even walk ten miles, but she walked too slowly, and when they passed, half of the cultural meeting was held.

"Case Chief Mei, are you going to the Snow Melting Society?"

Shen Ziwen sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and asked the coachman to stop when he passed Mei Xueyan and the others.

"Shen Ziwen, I haven't seen you in the past few days, I thought you were hiding at home and didn't dare to come out."

Chen Junsheng and Shen Ziwen are opposites, and they have to fight when they meet.

Shen Ziwen was a little embarrassed, and his mind turned and said: "I am the second place in the township examination, why don't I dare to go out to meet people?" It's that you're the second-to-last, and you're not afraid of being laughed at all day long, I said that you also know how to be measured, and people don't care about you. ”

Mei Xueyan also thought that he had lost face and would not show up in crowded places, but she didn't expect him to recover so quickly.

Chen Junsheng and Shen Ziwen have never won a bicker, and the more angry Chen Junsheng is, the more proud Shen Ziwen becomes.

"Hahaha, head Mei, if you don't have a carriage, come up, if you miss the Wenhui, it will be a pity to be frozen in vain, but my carriage is so big, it can only accommodate one more person."

This is clearly here to show off.

Shen Ziming knew that it was impossible for Mei Xueyan to leave her companions and get into his carriage, not to mention the difference between men and women, this blatant flaunting of wealth was nothing more than ridiculing them, which was really annoying.

"Shen Gongzi, this carriage seems to belong to the Lin Mansion, right?"

Mei Xueyan pointed to the inscription on the wheel, and there was a forest character written on it.

Shen Ziwen's face changed red, the corners of his mouth twitched, he panicked, put down the curtain and urged the groom to leave.

Mei Xueyan covered her mouth and smiled, this Shen Ziwen was not the young master of the Lin Mansion at all, he just embezzled the carriage of the Lin Mansion, and he had no beads in his eyes, showing off in front of her, the real Lin family, so he had to flee like a burning buttocks.

Chen Jun let out a vicious breath, and his waist was full of anger.

"Yan Niang, you are still amazing! As soon as I saw his arrogant appearance, I wanted to beat him! ”

"Don't flatter me, let's think about how to rent a carriage, or the ox cart will be ......"

Following Mei Xueyan's gaze, I saw an old man sitting on an ox cart, pulling a cart of charcoal to sell, the business was okay, and several bundles had been sold.

"Is this done?" Chen Junsheng hesitated and said, "If you lose your identity, you will definitely be laughed at at then." ”

Mei Xueyan said crisply: "What's this, aren't horses and cattle all livestock, and they are also expensive and cheap?" In ancient times, people used pigs to pull carts to fight! ”

Chen Junsheng was amused by her humor.

"Yanniang, you didn't cheat me? In ancient times, pigs were used to pull carts? ”

"But no, at that time it was called 'pig (with)', think about it, now in chess, is there a car?"

Chen Junsheng covered his nose, what kind of and pee, when he heard the back, it was really like that.

"It turned out to be such an allusion, it's really a long insight, and I've been taught below."

There was no longer any prejudice, Chen Junsheng ran to the old man who sold charcoal and saluted.

"This old man."

"A bundle of fine tea tree charcoal is twenty cents, and ordinary charcoal is a bundle of ten cents!" The old man opened his mouth and said, "Housheng, what kind of life do you want?" ”

"I don't buy charcoal ......"

When the old man heard this, he immediately turned his face, and Chen Junsheng hurriedly said something before he drove people away.

"Uncle, I rented your ox cart, I'm going to Zhongshan Pavilion, but there is no carriage......"

Before he could finish speaking, the old man had already waved.

"Go, go, go! I'm going to rent you to rent a carriage, don't disturb my business, get out of the way." ”

Mei Xueyan shook her head helplessly, Chen Junsheng is too honest and clumsy, let's talk about her.

"Uncle, let's buy your cart of charcoal, how about you send us to Zhongshan Pavilion? Come back after noon and don't delay your afternoon business. ”

It's not that Mei Xueyan spends money indiscriminately, it's not a waste of money to use on the blade, not to mention that the family does need some charcoal, Mrs. Chen goes to the suburbs every day to collect firewood and burn charcoal, Mei Xueyan has never been able to bear her so tired.

"Ho...... This is sending money. The old man didn't think about it, and shouted, "Gotcha, get in the car!" ”

Chen Junsheng scratched the back of his head, why is it so different from people, they are all renting cars, the difference in attitude before and after is too big, right? After getting into the car, Chen Junsheng was still thinking about it.

"Uncle, why don't you let me rent a car, and you agree to rent a car if she rents a car?"

The old man flicked his whip, a large buffalo, slower than a carriage and a hundred times stronger than walking. It can be seen that the old man cherishes this buffalo very much, and he doesn't even need to drive too hard.

"Why? The girl speaks better than you hear. ”

Chen Junsheng was not convinced, he thought about it for a long time, and finally had to consult Mei Xueyan, only to get the words "treat others with himself", Chen Junsheng suddenly realized and had to be convinced.

"No wonder you can become the head of the case, I can only take the penultimate exam."

Chen Junsheng muttered, and the old man turned around when he heard it.

"Girl, isn't it, you are the head of the Mei case who has gone crazy in the city these days?"

Mei Xueyan was stunned and said with a smile: "It should be, why does even the old man know?" ”

"Hey, don't you know! My seven-year-old grandson was studying in the county school, and that day he ran home and shouted at home, saying that the head of this year's township examination was a woman, what a miracle! Then I'm lucky today, I took a case leader, and when I went back, I told the kid at home that I would envy him. ”

"Old uncle's surname?"

"The surname is Zhao! My grandson's name is Zhao Kun, Miss Mei met him when she turned around, help me mention a few words to him, let my old Zhao family also have a child to glorify their ancestors, this generation is a mud leg, our family put hope on that kid! ”

The old man smiled so much that his teeth came out, this old man was good at talking, Mei Xueyan and they didn't have the dignity of a scholar, so they chatted all the way.

After all, the ox cart was slower, and when it arrived at Zhongshan Pavilion, everyone had already come and all of them were seated.

A large pavilion is the Zhongshan Pavilion, and there is a corridor, in which the organizers set up a low table futon, full of wine and delicacies, although there are many people, it is not messy.

Across the river is Guazhou, there is a hill not far away, overlooking a Buddha bell, which is also the origin of Zhongshan Pavilion.

"Haha! Look at the man coming in an ox cart! ”

"Who is this? It's a shame. ”

Many people looked over and pointed at Mei Xueyan and Chen Junsheng.

Mei Xueyan saw from afar that Wu Xianling, who had been photographed, was sitting on the main seat, and there were eight masters dressed up beside him, and Feng Yuanjun was sitting on his left side, whispering.

Feng Yuanjun sat in a high position, disturbed by the laughter, and saw Mei Xueyan jump down from the ox cart at a glance.

Feng Qiumo frowned and said loudly: "Mei Xueyan, hurry up and take a seat!" ”

The tone was not very good, but it also surprised all the students, Feng Qiumo has always been straight-faced, never pretending to be colorful, someone was late in class before, he directly ordered him to drop out, and no one dared to lose time in front of him again.

How did he feel about this drink, not like blaming her for being late, but unhappy that she was late?
