Ruyi returned the rest of the money to Xu Yi. Xu Yi asked, "Don't you want to buy anything else?" ”

Ruyi held her grass grasshopper and said with satisfaction, "I've already bought it, it should be like this." After a while, he said, "Hu cake is five coins a piece, and steamed cakes are two dollars a piece...... Fifteen dollars a day should be enough to live outside. ”

Xu Yi said, "The things sold in front of the school palace are more expensive than those in the side, and fifteen yuan is indeed enough for ordinary people to live for a day." However, the lives of rich and noble families are different, and there are many people who spend thousands of dollars a day on food. Fifteen dollars is probably not enough for them to take a look. ”

Ruyi was taken aback and said, "The old woman may not be able to earn a hundred dollars if she buys straw weaving all day in front of the school palace." What is the way for those people who spend so much money on food and drink alone to maintain such a luxurious life? ”

Xu Yi smiled, "That's a long story...... paused, and then said, "I'll talk to you slowly in the future-"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a commotion, and the crowd avoided him. I don't know who touched Ruyi, Ruyi couldn't dodge, and was pushed into his arms.

Xu Yi hurriedly raised her hand to support her.

It turned out that they came out to hang out for a while, and the teenagers in the hall had already discussed how to spend the holidays, and they were walking out of the Guozi School together. The carriage waiting outside to pick them up rushed forward, and for a moment the road was blocked. The teenagers couldn't get on the carriage and horses, and when they saw Xu Yi and Ruyi in front from a distance, they waved their hands and called, "Brother Xu! ”

Just as a carriage passed by, the people in the carriage lifted the corner of the curtain when they heard the sound, and they were looking at Xu Yi and Ruyi - but it was Liuli.

When Liuli heard someone call Xu Yi, she subconsciously lifted her son to look at it, and she was already very annoyed in her heart. Suddenly, I bumped into Xu Yi holding Ruyi's shoulder, acting ambiguously, and became so embarrassed that tears were about to flow out. Gritted his teeth and said, "Shameless! Then he threw down the curtain and angrily scolded the coachman to go quickly.

Ruyi was scolded inexplicably, annoyed in her heart. But it is impossible to deal with Liuli on the street and ignore it.

Xu Yi only frowned, seeing that Ruyi was too lazy to be angry, he didn't even see or hear it. only escorted Ruyi out of the crowd, and went to greet his classmates.

The method of the pastime discussed by the teenagers was indeed another outing--but they planned to go to Zhongshan to enjoy the autumn together, worship the Buddha and Zen by the way, and taste the famous fasting meal in Changgan Temple. This outing sounds really interesting, and most of the teenagers in the museum are there, so they must be going.

Zhang Ben is also among them. He has become more and more familiar with everyone recently, and in the midst of it, it is completely impossible to see that he has come more than half a year later than everyone else.

Ruyi naturally shirked, "You have to study at home." The teenagers only laughed at her, "I've just finished the exam, why do I still have to study?" He no longer reluctantly invited.

She is like a kaolin flower in the kindergarten. Everyone knows that Xiao Xu Gongzi does not like to travel, although he has a gentle temperament and is not rude, but he is not a person who is not a person all the way to them - these people study purely to expand their contacts, manage their reputation, and prepare for their future careers. But Xiao Xu Gongzi must be a pure Confucian who tirelessly seeks the avenue.

So everyone turned to Xu Yi and said, "Brother Xu must go!" ”

is different from Ruyi, but Xu Yi is a very gregarious and sociable person. Although he was brilliant and the best of the best, no one ever felt that he was superior. His cleverness is more evident in his fun and agility. As long as he is there, there will be almost no coldness, chaos and accidents, and everything he does is extraordinarily fun and novel. Everyone in the museum liked him.

I didn't want Xu Yi to smile and said, "My mother is also going to incense, I'm afraid I can't go with you." ”

He said it magnificently, and everyone couldn't entangle it, and they all regretted it, "It's really unfortunate...... I thought you would definitely go this time. ”

Zhang Ben looked at the brother and sister, and seemed to be a little disappointed at Xu Yi's refusal, and seemed to be faintly relieved.

Xu Yi and Ruyi are going back to the kindergarten hall and saying goodbye to everyone.

Ruyi heard a lot of discussion behind her - mostly disappointed because Xu Yi didn't go. Xu Yi is faintly the leader of the young people in the museum, but she has not responded to the appointment recently. However, he is full of natural circles and water, and everyone can't guess the reason, so it is inevitable that he will be a little troubled.

Ruyi also felt very concerned - the trip to Zhongshan was simply to Xu Yi's favor, and he only talked to her a few days ago that he planned to take advantage of the autumn season to get stronger and the winter season had not yet arrived, and go to Zhongshan to live for a few days. Unexpectedly, his partner came to invite, but he refused.

She pondered it, and finally asked, "Is it because of Zhang Ben that my cousin doesn't go to Zhongshan?" ”

Xu Yi was surprised for a moment - although Ruyi was young, he was very measured in his words, and he almost never asked about his selfishness and selfishness. For a moment, he couldn't tell if she hadn't noticed or if she didn't care at all. But did she see it all?

He said, "Yes." After all, you and I both know the identity of the third princess, so it is naturally not difficult to deduce his origin. ”

Ruyi wondered, "Is there anything wrong with his origin?" ”

Xu Yi was dumbfounded for a moment, and suddenly realized that Ruyi was young after all, and her mother Concubine Xu was not a person who liked to be short-lived, so she naturally didn't know what happened back then.

Xu Yi knew, but didn't know what to say to her for a while. In his opinion, Zhang Hua may not be impersonating, and the family's reaction is really fierce to the point of ridiculous and unseemly - when the dispute was at its hottest, the Zhang family in Pengcheng was also attacked because no one came forward to express their position. It's just that you not only have to take care of people's houses, but you also have to lift people's roof tiles if you can't manage them.

However, it is rare to ask as he wishes, he just wants to know everything and say everything sincerely.

roughly talked about the past and said, "To this day, Shilin still regards this matter as an ugly act, and regards the Zhang family as filth." If Zhang Ben's background is discovered, the consequences can be imagined. Therefore, I simply stayed out of the matter, which saved him from his worries and the trouble of pretending not to know. ”

Ruyi was silent for a long time before he said, "It turns out that there is such a reason." ”

She didn't have any ill feelings towards Zhang Benben, but at this moment, she suddenly felt that he was angry and disgusting. She knew that this was not Zhang Ben's fault, and she also knew that no one wanted to be slighted and excluded by everyone just because she was born like this. But even if you have to hide your background and dare not admit it, how can you be considered to be living up to the sky? Don't blame others for looking down on him.

Xu Yi saw that she was in an unhappy mood, but she was very puzzled, so she asked with a smile, "Why are you annoyed?" ”

Ruyi said, "I'm just annoyed that he doesn't dare to admit it." ”

Xu Yi can somewhat understand, "I'm afraid of Youyou's mouth...... he couldn't help but smile and feel relieved, "It's just some careful thinking about seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and it's not even evil, so why are you angry with him?" ”

Ruyi thought about it for a while, and felt that what Xu Yi said was indeed very reasonable. After all, Zhang Ben's mind has common sense to follow, and in the kindergarten hall, there are far more than this ridiculous thing. She was angry with Zhang Ben, didn't she avoid the important and light?

She played with the grass grasshopper in her hand, and she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. But he still nodded, and didn't say anything more.

After returning from the holiday, the rankings of the big exam will be lined up in a few days.

Different from the small examination on weekdays, after the big examination, the gentlemen will post a list, although they still only indicate the advantages and disadvantages, but the ranking is very particular - the doctor in Guozi is also divided into two factions, one is from a family, and naturally tends to "the upper grade has no poor family, and the lower grade has no scholars", not only the good and bad ratings should be beautiful, but even the real ranking should be determined accordingly; The other faction is more realistic, insisting that the rules of officialdom belong to the rules of officialdom, and the academic pure land belongs to the academic pure land. Therefore, it must be arranged according to the order of the volume!

There are lessons from Taixue and Guozixue, and the results of the long-term struggle between the two factions can be imagined -- the division of the list. A list of children of the scholar clan and a list of children of the poor family. Rank according to your real ranking in their respective rankings.

Since there is an assessment, there is naturally a comparison.

Especially for the children of the poor family, the road to progress is extremely narrow, even though they are still in kindergarten, they already know how to fight for a future in the country. I work very weekdays, so I don't care about my position at the moment. They all rushed forward to take a look.

And the children of the family have a future of steady progress, and the family will make comprehensive arrangements for them, so they will have a lot of money. Not only did he not care about the ranking, but he also made fun of the poor children gathered in front of the list, and his posture was like a group of pigs competing for food.

Ruyi listened to their witty words to make fun of people, and then remembered what Xu Yi told her about the Zhang family, and only felt ridiculous.

After all, she is young, and occasionally has some untimely little tempers, so she has to get up at this moment and go to the front of the list, and take a look at the ranking she doesn't care about at all.

There were so many empty spots in front of the first list, and there was only one person standing alone - her third sister, Princess Xiao Liuli of Shuyang.

A moment of wind passed. On a sunny day in late autumn in the south of the Yangtze River, the sun is dazzling. The small courtyard paved with pebbles has dark green and light yellow shades, and elegant pavilions with white walls and black tiles.

Liuli finally found her pseudonym at the end of the list, and stood disappointed and dazed for a while. When he was about to turn around and enter the house, he met Ruyi opposite.

Liuli was ashamed and angry, and she was ashamed that she had obviously worked hard, but she was still far behind Ruyi. The sad and angry thing is that Ruyi is better than himself in everything, and he even wants to humiliate himself.

Ruyi was only surprised, thinking that her third sister was very concerned about the ranking. cares about the ranking, obviously has the heart to learn, it can be seen that he also misjudged her in the past.

She was about to talk to Liuli, but Liuli had looked away stiffly, and passed by her blindly.

Ruyi was used to her temper, and her eyes chased for a while, thinking that if she didn't speak, she wouldn't speak. Instead, look at the list.

She came in first.

It's just that this first one is not interesting.

For one thing, she doesn't care about rankings - she just learns for the sake of learning, and rankings really don't mean anything to her.

What's more, she knew that the cousin of the Xu family was more knowledgeable than her, and the ranking was second to her, probably just because her cousin was so casual that he didn't even pay attention to the assessment.

The reason why she came here was purely because of a momentary mood.

And at this time, her mood was still very provocative - this move directly slapped her face, and it is likely that the children of the family who were in the same class already thought she was crazy and obedient.

But even if they can't look at her, what can they do?

Ruyi thought about it, so he came.

Now that you've seen it, let's go back.

She turned around and went back to the temple, passing by the second list, but was blocked by the crowd in front of the list. She inadvertently looked up and saw the name at the top of the B list, which was Zhang Ben.

Someone in front of the list whispered, "Since they are of the same clan, why is Zhang Li on the first list, but Zhang Ben is on the second list?" ”
