Abacus is very studious in Cui Shaoqing's opinion.

However, for Qin Tai, it was not so easy.

Without a period of study, he will not be able to apply it proficiently.

And while Qin Tai was practicing his calculations, the Mid-Autumn Festival was getting closer and closer.

On the evening of August 14, Cui Shaoqing returned to Qin's mansion.

"Tomorrow night's banquet, I can bring my family to the banquet, can my wife go with me?"

In the courtyard, the yellow leaves that fell to the ground, the yellow leaves were not swept, the autumn breeze was slightly cool, and everything in front of me made the autumn scenery look so envious.

Cui Shaoqing saw Qin Rou sitting in the courtyard reading a book, so he asked casually.

Qin Rou didn't raise her head, but said lightly: "The county commander has sent someone to send an invitation to our Qin family, and I will go with my father tomorrow." ”

Cui Shaoqing sighed, and then entered his house, Qin Rou was still reading here.

Time slowly, unconsciously, the night came, the bright moon rose in the east, and the whole courtyard was shrouded in moonlight, which looked so hazy.

The moonlight tonight is beautiful, and it will definitely not lose tomorrow night.

Thinking that she would have another party tomorrow night and might not be able to enjoy the moon, Qin Rou stayed in the courtyard for a while.

And just when he was staying like this, a sudden autumn wind blew and blew Cui Shaoqing's window open.

But there was no reaction inside, Qin Rou walked closer, only to hear a burst of snoring from inside.

Cui Shaoqing fell asleep, Qin Rou pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, and then prepared to go back to the house to rest.

But after taking a step, I thought that if the window was not closed, there might be a cool breeze blowing into the house at night.

Although he didn't have a good impression of Cui Shaoqing, and he hated Cui Shaoqing's greedy face, she was still ready to close the window for him after hesitating for a while.

Qin Rou came to the window and was about to close the window, when she found that there was a piece of paper on the table inside the window, on which some words were written, Qin Rou was suddenly a little curious and wanted to know what Cui Shaoqing wrote.

He reached out and took the paper.

After reading it, his expression moved slightly, and then he couldn't help but whisper:

Bright moonlight in front of the bed,

It is suspected to be frost on the ground.

Raise your head to look at the bright moon,

Bow your head and think of your hometown.

Although Qin Rou was born in a merchant family, she had read a lot of books, and she had never seen this poem.

Although this poem is extremely simple, it writes about homesickness to the fullest, and it is very touching to read.

Qin Rou was a little surprised, she originally thought that Cui Shaoqing was a scholar, and his talent must be ordinary, but if he can write such a poem, then his talent must not be average.

"Perhaps, he just didn't meet him."

Qin Rou thought in her heart, but then she snorted, she hated Cui Shaoqing, why did she start to sympathize with him?

After snorting coldly, he put the paper back, closed the window, and went back to his room to rest.

August 15.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a very important festival in Datang.

On this night, every family wants to admire the moon, and the whole family admires the moon together.

Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a time for family reunions.

Early in the morning, many people in Wannian County began to prepare for the moon viewing tonight.

And the so-called preparation, in fact, is also simple, is to buy some fruits and the like, and enjoy the moon while tasting at night.

Gu Bai is a well-known talent in Wannian County, and he is also a new science and technology scholar this year, who was arranged by the imperial court to work in Chang'an.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, he specially returned to Wannian County for the festival.

And because of his talent and identity, he was invited by Chen Gu.

Perhaps, in Chen Gu's opinion, this Gu Bai is a very promising person, after all, there are only a few new science and technology scholars who can stay in Chang'an City.

Early this morning, as soon as Gu Bai got up, a guest came to the house, Gu Bai's old friend Xu Yan.

The two of them have been friends since childhood, and Xu Yan also has some talents, but he did not take the imperial examination several times in a row, so he gave up relying on the imperial examination and started a business.

He has read books, his brain is flexible, and this business is doing well, and now in the entire Wannian County, he can be regarded as a well-known figure.

Seeing Xu Yan, Gu Bai didn't put on a show.

"It's so early in the morning, why are you here?"

"Naturally, I miss you, let's go, drink."

"There is a banquet in the evening, it's not appropriate to drink now, it's better to drink tea and chat in my house."

Xu Yan pursed his lips, but still agreed.

The two of them were small, sitting together and chatting, there were many topics, Gu Bai said some of his experiences in Chang'an City, Xu Yan said about the things he encountered when he was doing business, and talked about some things in Wannian County.

Talking, talking, Xu Yan talked about Cui Shaoqing.

"Brother Gu, you are in Chang'an City, you may not know much about the affairs of our Wannian County, some time ago, an interesting thing happened in our Wannian County, a scholar named Cui Shaoqing, because he gave a secret recipe for refining fine salt, and then he was given the origin of a Jinshi by the saint, not only that, but the saint also asked him to be a county magistrate in our Wannian County, tsk, this Cui Shaoqing can be said to have ascended to the sky in one step."

"Oh, there's such a thing?"

"No, this Cui Shaoqing doesn't have the ability, he became my Datang official by virtue of his strange and skillful skills, this is really a shame for my Datang scholar, I am ashamed to be with him now."

Gu Bai's eyes condensed slightly, he was also very unaccustomed to Cui Shaoqing's affairs, if Cui Shaoqing relied on his real skills to gain fame, and then was arranged to be a county magistrate in Wannian County, he didn't feel anything.

But this Cui Shaoqing is a scholar, and now he has been arranged to be a county magistrate in Wannian County, how can he get by in his heart?

You must know that although he works in the capital, he is only a nine-rank petty official, but Cui Shaoqing's county official is an eighth-grade official, one level older than him.

This is simply unreasonable.

"This kind of person is indeed a shame for us and other scholars, and if I have the opportunity to attend the banquet tonight, I must humiliate him."

"What Brother Gu said is very much, people like him should be taught a lesson, otherwise he doesn't know how thick the sky is."

The two of them muttered, and an hour later, Xu Yan left Gu Bai's mansion.

And not long after he left, he was stopped by Chen Biao.

"How's it going, are you done?"

"Chen Gongzi can rest assured, that Gu Bai is first-class, and now he has a disgust for Cui Shaoqing, tonight, he will definitely make things difficult for Cui Shaoqing, Chen Gongzi is waiting to see a good show."

Hearing this, Chen Biao nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, good, if you can succeed, you can't miss your benefits." ”
