Chapter 7 Where is the Road?

Since losing face from the Jiang widow's house, Jiang Li has been in a bad mood, and later heard that Jiang Widow has a way to sell game for money, Jiang Li was so angry that he broke several bowls, and since then there have been many things to keep accounts for Jiang Widow's family: every day I go to the mountain shop to inquire about the income of Jiang Widow's family, and then estimate the expenses. Seeing that the Jiang family's property exceeded 2,000 Wen, the Jiang Li family was in a hurry, and they couldn't sleep if they couldn't eat well, could this cooked duck still fly to the sky?

Later, Widow Jiang never sent wild meat to the mountain goods store, and Jiang Li was more comfortable. I heard that the second son of the Jiang family was rewarded for saving the mountain god, but later because he was drunk and confided in the truth, the mountain god was angry, and the prey was gone. Jiang Li specially went to the mountain temple to burn incense, and offered ten yuan of incense, others prayed to the mountain god to take care of it, and she specially sued in front of the mountain god, wishing that the Jiang widow's family would never be able to hunt prey again.

Jiang Li grabbed the melon seeds and leaned against the door and calculated: Seeing that half of December has passed, now Widow Jiang's family can only go in and out, even if she can repay the debt by gritting her teeth, her family will not be able to celebrate the New Year, and there is no money for her family's useless eldest son to take the exam in the house, and then she will have to sell the land for money. The old lady simply went to collect the debt after 20 days, and his eldest son didn't fight hard and said that he would pay it back at the end of the year, 2,200 yuan, and the old lady didn't do it if he didn't toss his chickens and dogs on the wall, and the old lady couldn't swallow this breath.

Thinking of the pleasure, the melon seed shells flew around, and from time to time there were one or two sinister laughs, which frightened passers-by to avoid it from afar. Coincidentally, from a distance, I saw Jiang Huang's carrying things and walking towards this side, Jiang Li's eyes rolled, and he saw that Jiang Huang's was walking easily, not like he was carrying more than 2,000 copper coins, he must have no money to repay his debts, and he wanted to delay buying some things, hehehe, thinking beautifully, it was a dream.

threw the melon seeds in his hand, turned around and took a broom, and swept the dust with a "brush", until the broom touched Jiang Huang's feet, Jiang Li raised his head, pretended to have just seen Jiang Huang, and said with a smile: "Fifth brother and sister, rare guests, why do you have to come to see your sister-in-law today, come here, take something, please inside." ”

Jiang Huang put two taels of silver and four hundred yuan on the table and asked for an IOU, Jiang Li was dumbfounded, completely unexpected, his head was "buzzing", his face was red and white for a while, and even the thick fat powder couldn't hide the excitement on his face. When Jiang Huang got up to say goodbye, Jiang Li struggled to get up from the chair to see him off, Jiang Huang had not gone far, Jiang Li was dizzy and collapsed on the ground.

Jiang Huang, who has no debts and has not been drunk for several years, deliberately made two catties of wine and asked his son to drink two glasses with him. Jiang Huang drank and told his children about the situation when he repaid his debts, laughing and crying, and his mother was drunk. Seeing his mother release the bitterness and grievances to the fullest, Jiang Anyi felt that the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and he smiled and raised his head to cover up.

Jiang Anyong was also drunk, he was so greedy for a cup at a young age, and more than half of the two catties of rice wine went into his stomach. Yan'er honestly ate the vegetables, raised her head from time to time to give everyone a bright smile, and the joy of her family made the little girl smile from the bottom of her heart.

After settling down his family, it was late at night, Jiang Anyi sat alone at the desk, a lamp like a bean, as yellow as before, but the light flashed with joy, and the air was full of warmth and happiness. A cold wind blew, the light swayed, Jiang Anyi hurriedly protected the light with his hand, and when the oil lamp shone again, Jiang Anyi's brows furrowed, and Hou Qi's poisonous snake-like gaze appeared in his mind.

That look poured the joy of my heart like ice water, thinking of the rope prey by the villagers, the county selling bamboo products and being blackmailed by the officials, although the family situation has changed, but new troubles have also appeared, the happy life in front of me is like a candle in the wind, which may be blown out by a gust of wind at any time, for this family, I must not relax.

The happiness in everyone's heart is different, Jiang Anyi is just a country boy, in his heart, he can have food and clothing without worry, and not being bullied is the greatest satisfaction. Of course, young people have dreams in their hearts, and Jiang Anyi's dream is that one day he will be able to win the gold list like Yu Zhijie, bare the lintel, and then benefit the people in the official residence.

But the title of the gold list is so difficult. Dazheng divides the world into 27 states (Shangzhou has: Ba, He, Chen, Chu, Deng, Duan, Fang, Fu, Ping; Zhongzhou has: Heng, Hou, Hua, Ren, Wei, Huang, Jiang, Lou, Ling; Xiazhou has: De, Lei, Qian, Li, Meng, Qi, Qing, Su, Shao), their own Texas is Xiazhou, Xinqi County is ranked in the 47 counties of Dezhou, Xiazhou admits 30 talents, and the number of lifters is only 20, less than half of Shangzhou. Not to mention that nearly 10,000 people gathered in the capital to compete for the fame of less than 300 "Jinshi" in the triennial examination, Jiang Anyi shook his head again and sighed.

The candlelight was faint, Jiang Anyi remembered that he was enlightened at the age of six, he never stopped in the cold window, he was familiar with the four books and five classics, and he was admitted to the children's examination at the age of twelve, and he was also promised to be a "prodigy". Although there are not many books in the family, he borrowed books from his friend Guo Huaili to transcribe them, and it has been considerable for several years.

Writing poems Fu Jiang Anyi is not talented, the poems he writes are bland and tasteless, he has seen and heard too little, there is nothing in his chest, and his pen is naturally dry. I've seen the poems made by the predecessors, the rhetoric is a little gorgeous, and the details are also bland, and I want to come to the current level to cope with the Xiucai test is barely okay.

The imperial examination focuses on policy theory, and the later the examination of the policy theory, the greater the proportion. The policy theory not only has a deep understanding of the scriptures, but also provides advice on issues such as current politics, agricultural affairs, and folk customs. Jiang Anyi lives in the countryside, and most of the major events in the world come from hearsay, and his policies and theories are nothing more than clichés, and there is nothing new in them, so it is difficult for such articles to be brilliant.

Thinking of this, Jiang Anyi's brows couldn't help but lock, I am afraid that it is not easy to take the test at his current level, not to mention that there is favoritism and fraud among them. Jiang Anyi got up suddenly, pushed the door and came to the courtyard, the moonlight was like water, sprinkled in the courtyard, and it was cold.

The night was as cold as water, Jiang Anyi shivered, let out a long breath, and subconsciously connected his thoughts to the memories of demons. I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. In the memory of the demon, Zi said that there are not many poems, many poems are like stars, or heroic and majestic or tragic and generous, or smart and beautiful or quiet and kitty, each of which makes people fall for it, if it is not in the dead of night, Jiang Anyi simply wants to sing and recite it, and he howls endlessly.

Finally suppressed the ecstasy, Jiang Anyi had doubts about the identity of the demon, how could someone who could write such a beautiful poem be a demon, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it a poet. Could it be that the root attached to me is the "immortal", remembering his own vigilance on weekdays, he secretly shouted "Don't blame the great immortal".

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Anyi searched the memory of "Daxian" about the policy theory. After a while, Jiang Anyi hurriedly returned to his own thinking, too many deviant and rebellious ideas, although they were cursory, still scared Jiang Anyi into a cold sweat, it seems that demons are always demons, and they have not changed because the poems are well written.

And happy and worried, the joy is that the poetry can be easily passed, the worry is that there is still no way, according to the demon's idea to write a strategy, I am afraid that when the text is completed, it is the time when the door is full of copying, it seems that we have to think of another good strategy.

Zi said: Threesomes must have my teacher, reading is inseparable from teachers and friends, and good teachers and friends can help a lot. The county science exists in name only, although every three or nine teaching, Ma Xun is mostly random to read some scriptures and books, and he can't learn anything at all, most of the time he is talking about how he reads poetry and books, how to learn a full stomach, but he is overused and relegated to a small county to do a discipline.

Ma Xundao is from a good background, and there is knowledge, but this knowledge is not passed on lightly, only those students who have stuffed silver will be called to his residence by him and teach it privately. Jiang Anyi's family was poor and had no money, so he could only look at the door and sigh, and of course, it was impossible for him to go to the academy to study.

It is rare to see the seniors in the county school, everyone is studying hard in order to pass the township examination, and some of the older ones have to support their families to teach private schools, and they have no time to teach Jiang Anyi. Occasionally, classmates will write, but they are nothing more than saying good things to each other on the surface, turning around and sneering.

Jiang Anyi has a friend Guo Huaili, who is three years older than him, and the Guo family is a wealthy businessman. Guo Huaili will also come to Jiang's house to play, and every time he brings a small gift, the Jiang family likes this "fat man" very much. Thinking of this friend, a smile bloomed at the corner of Jiang Anyi's mouth, this fat man is really warm in winter.

It's just that this friend's homework is really average, and it was in vain that his father often sent money to Ma Xundao. Thinking of the dead fat man's reluctant muttering tastelessness every time he talked about horse training, Jiang Anyi was angry and funny, how good this opportunity was for himself.

A few bamboo leaves floated in front of him, pulling Jiang Anyi back to reality from his cranky thoughts. It's almost the New Year, and the things scheduled by Yu Zhijie will be completed before the Lantern Festival, so you have to hurry up during this time, don't take the fixed money and smash things, but I'm really sorry for Lord Yu.

By the way, Lord Yu likes bamboo, and it must be pleasing to make a bamboo fan. If you mention the poems that Lord Yu likes on the fan, maybe you can ask Lord Yu for guidance on your own article, and if you want to explain the teacher, there is no more powerful Master than Lord Yu in the entire Xinqi County.

Jiang Anyi was made enthusiastic by his own idea, and soon found a couplet about bamboo, "When it is not unearthed, there is a knot, and it is still humble to Lingyun", which happens to be consistent with the high wind and bright festival of Lord Yu, this sentence is written on the fan, and Lord Yu must be happy. Knowledge has never been passed on lightly, he has only met Lord Yu once, and his identity is different from heaven and earth.

pacing back and forth in circles in the courtyard, suffering from gains and losses. The thatched hut under the moonlight was dilapidated, and Jiang Anyi remembered the situation at home a few months ago, because he borrowed wisdom from demons, and the family had changed somewhat. The opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again, Jiang Anyi decided to gamble again, only by changing his fate can he protect his family, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, he cannot let go of the opportunity to change.

Jiang Anyi didn't notice his way of doing things, and unconsciously changed a lot, this change was forced by life? Or is it the influence of a demon within the receptor? Jiang Anyi didn't notice it, looked up at the moon, and his heart was full of fighting spirit at the moment. There is no road in this world, but when there are many people walking, it becomes a road, and you must break a way out of the thorns.
