Lang Wu was carried by the old lady beside her, and she seemed to be crying fiercely, and her eyes were red as if she had rubbed a thick layer of rouge. The old lady saw me and hurriedly said: "The old slave has seen the concubine Niangniang, the mother quickly persuade my girl, I received a letter from outside the palace early this morning and cried until now, and if I cry again, my eyes will be broken." The old lady anxiously stroked Lang's back and then persuaded: "Good girl, don't cry, it's not good if you hurt your body." ”

I recognize this old mother, it is the nurse who grew up with Lang Wu who married her, I see that she is also yellow, she should have accompanied Lang Wu for a day. I was busy beckoning the little maids to serve tea, but Lang Wu still couldn't stop crying, and the old lady kept comforting. If this continues, not only will Lang Wu not be able to explain, but the old lady will also be tired, and the old man is old, so it is not good to toss like this. I said to the old lady, "Grandma, why don't you go and sit in the side hall for a while, and I will talk to Lang Woman." ”

After the old lady was helped down by Buyue and the little maid serving tea, I pulled Lang Wu to sit down and asked, "What made you cry like this?" Wipe your face first, your eyes are swollen and uncomfortable. ”

"Xiaoqi, you ...... Do you remember what I told you about that...... That young man who studied hard in the cold window to marry the girl he loved? ”

I was quite impressed by this incident, and Lang Wu accidentally mentioned it when I was eating tea. It is said that there is a scholar in Jiangnan, his family is poor, his father died early, and he lives on his mother's money from shoe soles and bamboo baskets. The scholar helped his mother with her work, and at the same time eavesdropped on her studies outside the private school. Once the scholar was still eavesdropping outside the private school, it happened that the Jiangnan prefect brought his sons to visit that day, and he was caught by the gentleman who came out to greet the guests.

The gentleman thought he was a thief, so he was going to escort him to the government to see the officials. He was frightened and just said, "I'm not a thief, I'm not a thief." ”

"Sir, wait, this person's stolen goods haven't been found yet, why do you have to report to the official? And my father is an official, so it's better not to be troublesome, so let's handle the case here. The person who said this was the handsome young man standing next to the prefect.

The gentleman was also a reasoner who read poetry and books, so he let go of the scholar and said, "Then please ask the adults to decide the case?" ”。

"Then since the gentleman said so, then I will decide this case. Who are you? The prefect said to the scholar.

The scholar who came to his senses replied in a trembling voice: "Villain Zhang Bingke, adult, I'm really not a thief, I'm just ...... Just ......"

"Just what?"

"I just want to read."

The handsome young man asked, "Then why don't you go in and talk to the gentleman?" ”

"I ...... I ......" the scholar stuttered for a long time and didn't answer a reason. One of the children in the school suddenly shouted, "I know him, his mother is a rattan basket seller at Qiaotou." Sir, he must have been eavesdropping because his family couldn't afford to read! The naughty child's joke made all the children laugh, and the laughter spread through the school like a flood that burst the embankment.

The scholar's face turned red, and he knelt on the ground with his head bowed in shame.

"What are you laughing at, where have you read the books of the sages? Which book says you can't read without money? The gentleman scolded the children. Behold, I have taught you in vain. And you, are you really here to listen to my lectures? ”

When the scholar heard this, he nodded again and again: "Exactly, if you don't believe me, sir, you can search my body!" ”

"Sir, this person is also considered to be studious, why don't you accept him as an auditor?" The prefect smiled kindly.

Hearing this, the gentleman stroked his beard and nodded, and said to the scholar: "From now on, you will be like everyone else, you must listen to your studies well, and you will be filial to your aunt in the future." ”

Later, the scholar learned that it was the prefect and the prefect's daughter who disguised themselves as men to play for him. Since then, every time the daughter dresses up as a man to play near the private school, she will take a detour to see the scholar, and the two have feelings for each other. After the scholar was admitted to the gift, the daughter proposed to her father to marry the scholar. Not surprisingly, the prefect not only did not agree, but also served the young lady's family law and locked it in the ancestral hall to think about it.

I was thinking about the wonderful story that Lang told at that time, when suddenly my head was struck, and Lang Wu scolded with tears: "You shouldn't be called, I'll be stupid for you." ”

I rubbed my beaten head apologetically and said, "What happened to the scholar?" ”

"A few days ago, he won the top prize."

I exclaimed, "What a good thing! When he becomes an official in the future, aren't the two of them just hard-working mandarin ducks who have achieved positive results? "What an inspirational story, the boy has earned fame and achievements by his own efforts, and he studied hard in the cold window to become the first to become the champion of the scenery.

Unexpectedly, a tear crossed the corner of Lang's eyes, and she shook her head suddenly: "That daughter has already married a nobleman." ”

I was stunned when I heard this, I thought it was a positive ending. "What about the scholar?"

The scholar also knew from his husband that he was not lecturing to him in vain to help him solve his doubts, but that the prefect looked at him as if he had studied in the past. Not only did he send a large sum of money to Mr. later, but he also helped Mr. repair the damaged and old ground of the school every year, which helped Mr. a lot. The gentleman asked the scholar to repay the favor, but the scholar went to the prefect's mansion to meet but was turned away, and was told that his daughter was married, and everything was fine. The scholar said that he wanted to repay the prefect for his cultivation, and the prefect sent a message to him that it was the gentleman who cultivated him, and the scholar was not allowed to come to the house again in the future. After saying that, Lang took me and lay down on me and cried deeply.

I patted her on the back and persuaded: "Since the daughter is fine, the scholar will also rest assured, and if he becomes a high-ranking official in the future, maybe the two of them will meet again at the table." ”

She was still crying, and the more she cried, the more fierce she became, and she couldn't persuade her: "That daughter is trapped in the Gaomen compound, and they will never see each other again." Never again! ”

"That daughter must be happy for the scholar, although the two didn't get together in the end, they both had a good ending, right? Let's wish the scholar a prosperous official fortune, and I wish the daughter's family and everything to be prosperous. ”

Hearing this, she seemed to sob, sniffed and let go of me, and asked, "What if the scholar marries someone else in the future?" Wouldn't that daughter feel forgotten? ”

"Nonsense, that daughter won't think so, if she really loves him, she must hope that he will be happy, how can she think like that?"

Lang Wu burst into tears and laughed: "I think so too, it's good that the two of them can be happy in the end!" Tomorrow morning, I'm going to worship the Buddha and pray for that scholar, oh and that daughter, for the two of them. ”

I pointed at her nose and said, "You just got too deep into the play, and you think of yourself as the way you cry when you are the daughter." ”

Lang Wu smiled and nodded: "This is what my father sent in the morning, and I was moved to cry when I saw it." ”

"I won't accompany you tomorrow, I'm going to the capital to see the famous actor Wu Tingbai's 'Han Palace Autumn'."

"Tsk, didn't Xu Tang invite the troupe to sing once before? Then you will leave the palace tomorrow and help me ......" She paused, as if she was struggling with something: "It's nothing, help me go to the medicinal candy shop at the city gate to buy some back, I love to eat his medicinal candy." ”

"Cheng, it's simple, I also want to taste the difference between the medicinal sugar in the capital and the palace."

"Their food is delicious, and I used to ask people to buy it."

"I didn't expect you to like to study some food, next time you come to discuss the new steamed bun dim sum with me?" I quipped her.

"You monkey! Such good things never call me! She reached out and poked my nose, "I told you so much, I didn't panic, sure enough, what Mama Li said was right, just find someone to talk to." ”

"The main thing is that I will enlighten people!"

Hearing this, she laughed and scolded and came to beat me.
