Jiangnan recalls, the most memorable is Hangzhou. Looking for Guizi in the middle of the month in the mountain temple, the county pavilion pillow looks at the tide. When will I visit again!

Xu Yan couldn't help but sigh when he sailed through the water gate of Hangzhou City by boat, there was still a fate between him and Hangzhou, but he didn't expect to be able to revisit the old place so soon.

After entering the city, Xu Yan took Xu Wei and Shuangxi straight to his grandfather's house.

In any case, it is extremely rude to not see my grandfather and uncle in Hangzhou.

Because it was getting late, Xu Yan knocked on the door for a long time when he arrived outside Chen's mansion before someone came to open it.

The porter saw that it was Xu Yan and hurriedly let him in.

Xu Yan came to Hangzhou for another purpose, which was to take a look at his mother.

After all, it has been more than a month since my mother came to Hangzhou Province, and Xu Yan misses it very much.

said that Xu Chen was overjoyed when he learned that his son was coming, and hurriedly rushed over. Also accompanying him was Xu Yan's uncle Chen Zongzhi.

Mother's love is always the greatest thing in this world, Xu Chen saw that his son was a little thin, and tears immediately poured out like a.

"I've worked hard. My mother and relatives have heard about it, and you have taken the head of the government test again. ”

From a mother's point of view, Xu Chen didn't want to see her son too tired. But she also knew that the Xu and Chen families had been doing business for generations and seemed to be majestic, but they were actually sad. Without a background, you can only rely on others, if you are an official in your own family, where do you still need to look at other people's faces?

What's more, my son is so talented. She didn't understand poetry and those things, but she knew one thing very well, it was not easy to win the first place in the imperial examination.

The son won the first place in the county and the government twice, although it was only a child's test, but he also showed extraordinary strength.

In this case, how could she, as a mother, drag her son back?

"Where the son is hard, it's just a matter of duty. aroused the mother's worries, and the son was really unfilial. ”

Seeing that his son was so sensible, Xu Chen patted Xu Yan's head with relief and said, "Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about." ”

Chen Zongzhi on the side also said: "That's it, if I can have Brother Qiu's talents, the old man will have to wake up laughing in his dreams." ”

Xu Yan realized that his grandfather hadn't come, and asked with some confusion: "By the way, uncle, where is my grandfather?" ”

Chen Zongzhi sighed and said: "It's not that the imperial court is urging it, the old man is staring at the weaving yamen all day long, rushing to work day and night." ”

Xu Yan's heart sank.

Sure enough, although Emperor Jiajing did Sun Qing, he did not reduce the amount of royal silk in Hangzhou. In this way, the pressure naturally came to the Chen family.

After all, most of the weavers in the weaving yamen were hired by the Chen family.

Xu Yan shook his head: "It's always like this." After all, my grandfather is old, so you need to help me more, uncle. ”

Chen Zongzhi spread his hands and said: "It's not that I don't do it, the old man is afraid that I will help, and he won't let me go." ”

Xu Yan smiled bitterly in his heart, what is his uncle really doing.

"This year's silk is not good, and this can only be the case."

Xu Yan paused, and then said to Xu Chen: "Mother, I will go to see the teacher early tomorrow morning, and I may live there after that." ”

Although Xu Chen was a little reluctant, he also felt that Xu Yan should go to see Qian Lao, and nodded: "My son has grown up, just make your own ideas." ”

Chen Zongzhi patted Xu Yan's shoulder and said, "Brother Qiu, if you want to go to Gushan, help me with a word, just say that this month's supply will be sent to the old man in a few days." ”

"Don't worry, uncle."

Xu Yan replied casually.

The family talked about family life together, and Xu Yan went back to the house to rest before it was too early.

Although his grandfather prepared a room for him, Xu Yan could live with him, he still felt that he should buy a separate house, so that it would be more convenient for Hangzhou in the future.

Living in my grandfather's house is always a bit restrictive.

But he said that he didn't say anything all night, and the next morning Xu Yan got up early and went to Lonely Mountain. Double happiness and Xu Wei accompany him.

At this moment, the West Lake is a little less charming with heavy makeup in summer, and a little more quiet without fat powder.

After entering the Gushan Academy, Xu Yan found that Old Man Qian was fishing, so he cautiously walked behind him and beat his back.

Qian Dehong turned his head and saw that it was Xu Yan, and said with a smile angrily and said: "Okay, you kid didn't make a sound when he came, did he deliberately want to be scared to death as a teacher?" ”

Xu Yan said aggrievedly: "It's you who are too focused, how can you blame the students." ”

Qian Dehong glared at him and said, "You are justified in what you say." ”

Xu Wei was a little overwhelmed beside him, but he was not embarrassed.

Qian Dehong obviously also noticed Xu Wei, cleared his throat and asked, "Who is this descendant?" ”

Without waiting for Xu Yan's introduction, Xu Wei reported to his family and said: "Xu Wenchang, who was born in Shanyin, visited Mr. Qian. ”

As soon as he heard that it was a student from Shaoxing, Qian Dehong naturally became a little kinder, and said leisurely: "It's my apprentice's friend." Good, good. ”

Xu Yan hurriedly explained: "Teacher, Elder Brother Wen and I hit it off at first sight, just like when I first saw you. ”

Qian Dehong said angrily: "Come on, don't put gold on your face." If it wasn't for you, how could the old man accept you as a student? ”

Seeing the two teachers and students arguing, Xu Wei only thought it was very interesting.

"Teacher, I came to bring you the best Ningbo soju this time, and several jars have been placed in the study for you, you can drink it openly."

Qian Dehong nodded and said, "It's about the same, you kid is sensible." Well, by the way, I heard that your house tried to win the head of the case, which is very good. But you must not be proud and indulgent, the college examination is the big test of the small three levels. The Zhejiang scholar appointed by the imperial court is already on the way, and since you have come to Hangzhou, you are here to collect your heart. ”

Qian Dehong naturally has a reason for saying this. The examiners of the examination at the county level are all magistrates, and the difficulty of asking questions is naturally relatively low if they are distracted by government affairs.

The academic officials are different, they focus on culture and education, and the topics they come up with can be described as extremely tricky.

"The teacher also knows about Leiti's learning?"

"Why is it that your kid is allowed to have a source, and he will be deaf and faint as a teacher?"

"Students don't dare."

Xu Yan dared to talk back to Mr. Qian, but when he thought that he was about to start another period of devil training, his heart was very painful.

"I can see that you have other things to do in Hangzhou this time. That's it, as a teacher, I will give you three days off and get things done quickly. After that, I will come back to the teacher and practice the article well. You still owe the heat for that article. ”

Xu Yanru was amnestied, and bowed his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

Qian Dehong waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”

"The student quits."

After Xu Yan left Gushan Academy, he and Xu Wei went to Hangzhou to buy a shop on the street to open a bookstore, and to buy another house. First, it can be given to Xu Wei to live, and second, if Xu Yan comes to Hangzhou, there will be more places to stay besides his grandfather and Gushan Academy.
