Chapter 43 Jinshi is hopeful

Hearing my aunt's words, my uncle seemed to come back to his senses!

He counted with his hand, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Many of my own families seem to be related to Ping'er. Rice, fairy furnace, fairy charcoal, fairy soap, and now there are flower fairy gouache and flower fairy soap, which are all given by Ping'er for free. Thinking about it on the other hand, what did their family give Ping'er, they just introduced him to Yuan Xuezheng, but he became one of Yuan Xuezheng's most proud disciples with his own skills. I, an elder who is an uncle, can't even say a tough word in front of Ping'er. Besides, their daughters are not the daughters of big families. ”

Speaking of this, the uncle had a bitter expression on his face, rubbed his forehead with his hand, and said bitterly: "If I guessed correctly, in the face of such a demonic and excellent Ping'er, Mei'er is already blessed to be a flat wife." ”

My aunt's face turned pale, and she took a few steps back, and couldn't help but sit on the chair with tears in her eyes.

She thought for a moment, then moved to her uncle's side again, leaning her head on her uncle's shoulder.

She looked at her uncle softly and asked, "Isn't there any other way for officials?" ”

The uncle couldn't help but smile bitterly, pointed to the scroll in Yahuan's hand, which had turned around, and said: "Lady, do you think that the flower fairy gouache and the flower fairy soap are the big gifts, no, no, in fact, compared with the books in Ping'er's hand, they are simply insignificant." Because Ping'er gave me a big gift that I couldn't refuse. ”

The aunt's eyes widened, and the head of the mantis left the uncle's shoulder at once, and the person also stood up, grabbed the scroll from the girl's hand, flipped through it a few times, and then frowned and asked: "It's just a bad book, how can it be a big gift that officials can't refuse." ”

She just couldn't understand the meaning.

Uncle carefully took the book from his aunt's hand, carefully smoothed out the crumpled cover and contents of the book by his aunt, and then reverently put the scroll on the desk!

After looking at the other books on the bookcase, the uncle said: "Although it is not as good as the "Four Books and Five Classics", the "Three Hundred Long and Short Sentences" is a selection of all the words since Taibai's "Bodhisattva Man", and all the representative works of various genres can be savored and appreciated here. It can be said that if you are familiar with "Three Hundred Long and Short Sentences", you will be able to make words more or less. This book is a must-read Bible for words! ”

Uncle later summed up its value.

"Maybe for some people who like to write lyrics and love words, it is even comparable to the "Four Books and Five Classics". Lady, do you say that this scroll is the heaviest gift? ”

My aunt nodded, couldn't help but look at the book carefully, then picked up the desk of Shulin, and learned from my uncle to gently stroke the book, thought about it and frowned puzzledly and asked: "This book is indeed a good book, but how can it become a gift that officials can't refuse?" ”

The uncle walked a few steps in the study room, looked in the direction of Lin'an, and then retracted his gaze to look at the book and said in a heavy tone: "I don't know if the lady heard a rumor that in order to reduce the burden of redundancy and financial resources, the imperial court is ready to change the number of examinations given to the same jinshi from the original three times to five or even six times. ”

The aunt's face was pale, her eyes showed a look of disbelief, and she pointed at her uncle with tears in her eyes and said, "The official has only passed the liberation test twice, is there no hope." ”

The uncle walked heavily in the room and said, "I used to think the same way, is this the case in this life?" After indulging in reading all day, I can't help but feel lost. However, with this book, I have renewed hope, and I can also bypass the liberation test and directly obtain the qualification of Tongjinshi. Lady, think about it, is this book a great gift that the husband can't refuse? ”

My aunt's face suddenly glowed, she nodded, and then thought for a while and asked, "But how do you get the qualification of a fellow jinshi?" ”

The uncle pointed to the scroll and said, "It will take a lot of effort to do this, one of which is to add a brief introduction to the lyricist; second, a brief introduction to the environment in which the lyrics were written; Third, mark the words that are not popular and obscure. Finally, appropriate additions and deletions were made to the chapters, but the overall content was still controlled at 300 songs. In this way, isn't it logical for a husband to sign his name? ”

My aunt and uncle couldn't pick up her hand and gently stroked the book, and then asked puzzledly: "But how can this get the same jinshi?" ”

My uncle had to patiently explain: "Since this book is a Bible in words, what should I do when I dedicate it to the court?" The imperial court naturally gives commendations, and the best reward gift for scholars is to give a background, and it is naturally not difficult to be a scholar. ”

The heavy boulder in my aunt's heart was finally completely untied, and after smiling like a flower, she frowned and sighed and said, "I am finally completely relieved of my official background, but what about Ping'er?" ”

The uncle patted the slender hand that was still holding the book, blushed a little and said embarrassedly: "This is a big gift that Ping'er specially gave to my uncle." This gift is obviously a pit, but the husband has to jump down. ”

The aunt glanced at the uncle, put down the book in her hand, took out an envelope, raised it to the uncle, and said happily: "Mei'er also sent a letter." You're a father, guess what's the content? ”

The uncle reached out to get the letter, but it was flashed by his aunt, he looked at the letter and found that it had been opened, carefully looked at his aunt's face, and showed a smile on his face: "The letter, the lady has opened it, and I see that you are in a good mood, is it good news?" ”

My aunt gave my uncle another roll of her eyes, nodded and said, "You said it again." Mei'er and Jiang Ying are learning "A Laugh in the Sea" and "Liang Zhu" from the girl, and they say that they will play it for their parents after they learn it. What's even more surprising is that Meier said that she also has a share of this flower fairy gouache and flower fairy soap. ”

Speaking of this, my aunt said a little unhappily:

"Official, when his wife is happy for Mei'er, he feels unfair. Isn't Mei'er Ping'er's cousin? Why is it that this time the shares are the same as his two Yahuan Cuizhu and Lan'er, and Lan'er and Cuizhu have more shares such as the previous fairy furnace and fairy charcoal than her? ”

The aunt is obviously upset about her precious daughter.

"Official, Mei'er is your only precious daughter. is Ping'er's only cousin, how can she be worse than those Yahuan? ”

After speaking, the aunt twisted the tender flesh on the uncle's waist a few times and asked him to answer well.

The uncle took the letter first, looked at it, nodded and hurriedly grabbed the hand of the uncle who was doing evil!

After thinking for a while, my uncle said with a wry smile: "What can't your precious daughter do except be able to play musical instruments?" Just cut and cut the flowers, you get one percent of the shares, what is the difference between this and dry delivery? Moreover, Ping'er's two Yahuan's extra shares were obtained by Mei'er before she went. ”

In order to reassure his aunt, his uncle emphasized the value of the flower fairy.

"Now the flower fairy gouache and flower fairy soap are sold so expensively now, it is very likely to surpass their own families in the future. Your precious daughter has only been in the past ten days, and you may earn so many belongings, why are you not satisfied as a mother? And Cuizhu and Lan'er are the personal rings of Xiaomei and Ping'er, why can't they get shares? ”

The aunt's slender hand turned around the uncle's waist a few times, and she said very unwillingly: "In any case, Mei'er is Ping'er's only cousin with blood relatives. How can this be? Where do you put this as an uncle? ”

The uncle couldn't help but hide his face with his sleeves, and his mouth made a "buzzing" sound: "Lady, Ping'er is so equal to her own family, and the lady has to make excessive demands, where do you let your husband's face be put aside?" ”

The aunt "spitted" the uncle, and happily took the maid ring to her circle of ladies to show off.

And Yuan Xue is carefully reading the "Three Hundred Tang Poems" and the scrolls "Reading for the Rise of the Great Song Dynasty", "Expelling Hu Lu, Returning My China", "The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear; Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything cares"!

Yuan Xuezheng's reaction far exceeded that of his uncle!

After beating his chest, he knelt on the ground while worshipping in the direction of Lin'an, and couldn't help but muttered with tears in his eyes: "The emperor is above, and the disciple is grateful; After the soil is below, the disciples have nothing to repay. The sky has eyes, and I have salvation. Then repeat the same actions over and over again.

Zhao Jie was frightened, so he had to learn Yuan Xuezheng's movements together to thank the emperor and the queen of heaven.

Yuan Xuezheng was crazy, not only did Zhao Jie's movements not see, but Yuan Qian, the Hunjia who had smeared the flower fairy gouache with the scent of begonia flowers, also turned a blind eye when he came to his side.

Seeing Zhao Jie, who was crazy with his officials, Yuan Qian finally couldn't bear it anymore after a pillar of incense passed, and coughed heavily, finally waking Yuan Xuezheng up from his madness.

Yuan Xuezheng saw Zhao Jie, who was worshipping with him, and finally remembered the purpose of his visit.

He came to the desk and instructed Yuan Qian to let Yahuan fetch water to wash his hands, and then after burning incense, he played a meditation mantra, which finally calmed down his mind like a galloping horse!

He spread out the rice paper, took a few deep breaths, suddenly exerted his strength, and wrote "Reading for the Rise of the Great Song Dynasty", "Expelling Hulu, Returning My China", "The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear; Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything cares".

Then it was solemnly wrapped and handed over to Zhao Jie.

And "Three Hundred Tang Poems" was left by Yuan Xuezheng, and after reading it carefully, he said: "This book is good, but there is no introduction to the poet, no description of the poet's environment and the poet's mood, and no obscure words to mark. This book is left behind for the old man to make up for these regrets. As for the matter of the security corps, the old man will go to the government office tomorrow with you to apply in writing. ”

After speaking, Zhao Jie picked up the tea bowl, bowed down and said goodbye, and lived in the rented courtyard near the east gate.

The next day, Yuan Xuezheng took Zhao Jie directly around Liu Ang, the county magistrate, and went directly to the public house of Xin Zhicai, the magistrate of the county, and a few people chatted.

Yuan Xuezheng put "Reading for the Rise of the Great Song Dynasty", "Expelling Hulu, Returning My China", "The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear; Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything cares" scroll for Zhao Jie to present.

Xin Zhicai and his staff gently stroked the scroll with their hands, and after carefully looking at the Song style and content, they kept "tsk" in amazement, and then looked back at Yuan Xuezheng and said: "I knew that there were rumors in Sichuan that the calligraphy of Changzhou Strange Jiehao was self-contained. I heard that Hiroshi's calligraphy is a rare collection. I don't know if this county is lucky? ”
