When the three of the Zhou family arrived home, Shen Mingjun had already returned.

Zhou angrily told her husband about the matter, and Shen Mingjun did not immediately start beating Shen Xi, but asked with a pleasant face: "Xiaolang, when Mr. asked you, what did you mean by that?" ”

Shen Xi lowered his head: "I just said the idioms and allusions I knew, and I didn't mean to show off...... Maybe Mr. hasn't heard of it, and he's ashamed of himself. ”

"Stinky boy, are you still reasonable? Sir after all, sir, there must be more ink in your stomach than you...... I think the gentleman thinks you're crazy and doesn't want to teach you. Zhou's face was full of gloom.

Shen Mingjun stopped his wife from scolding, and then asked, "Where did you hear these allusions?" ”

"Yes...... It was taught to me by an old Taoist priest, who not only taught me literacy, but also taught me a lot of knowledge...... In fact, I knew how to write before I went to school, and I also read some ancient books from him, including idioms and allusions. Shen Xi said hesitantly, he himself felt that it was too absurd.

Although Shen Mingjun didn't believe that his son met any old Taoist priests as soon as he entered the city, most people in this era like to wear Taoist robes, and it is possible for Shen Xi to regard scholars as Taoist priests at a young age, so he asked: "Then have you ever asked the old gentleman about his name?" ”

Shen Xi shook his head: "Old Taoist...... Oh, the old gentleman won't let me ask his name. Before, the old gentleman wrote two plays, which were the two plays performed by the southern opera troupe in the city in the past few days, and he asked me to send them to the county government to receive the reward, but who knew that the reward was seized by the damn official, and I was also hit with a stick on my ass. ”

Zhou was originally angry that his son was lying, but after listening to Shen Xi's words, he couldn't help but get nervous, and quickly asked Shen Xi to take off his pants. When he saw a very wide bruise on Shen Xi's buttocks, no matter how hot Zhou was, he couldn't help but hug his son in distress: "That official is so vicious, go, go to the yamen with my mother to comment." ”

Zhou took Shen Xi's hand and was about to go to the yamen, Shen Xi hurriedly said: "Mother, what people represent is the government, how can we fight with the government?" ”

Shen Mingjun also persuaded: "Yes, lady, don't be impulsive, we can't afford to mess with the people in the government, don't be reasonable when you get there, I guess even you can't please you, let's bear with it!" ”

"Then we will suffer this dumb loss in vain, and we can't get justice?" Zhou was indignant.

Shen Xi thought for a while and comforted: "Mother, don't worry, this matter is not over." The old gentleman said that he had thought of a way to punish the evil official, and the "Yang Family General" that is now popular in the city is the old gentleman's handwriting, as long as the news reaches the ears of the county master or the official from the imperial court, the matter will be big, and then justice can be sought. ”

Zhou didn't understand the trick, but he thought that someone else taught his son to read and write, but he was rewarded by the government, and he felt a little unhappy. Zhou instructed: "You kid remember, you must be filial to the old gentleman, it is best to bring him to our house, and your father and I will thank him." ”

Shen Xi grinned and nodded: "Okay." ”

In this way, Shen Xi's reading was revealed for the time being.

Shu Yu retreated, and Shen Xi no longer had to go to the Land Temple to read and write with the old boy, but the family's money was still not enough for him to go to school.

In the next few days, Shen Mingjun and Zhou both went out early and returned late, and there were many things going on in the main house, Shen Mingjun had to do the work of two or three people alone, and he was so tired and weak when he came home every day. Zhou is better, she is proficient in needlework, and it doesn't take too much effort to sew and mend, but it is easier than when she was in Peach Blossom Village.

Every time Zhou went to the tailor shop, he brought Lin Dai on, the purpose was to let Lin Dai learn to be a female celebrity earlier, and only after marrying his son in the future could he manage the family well.

Shen Xi has changed to his previous state again, with nothing to do.

After another seven or eight days, the storytellers in Ninghua County brought the story of "Yang Jiajiang" to the streets and alleys, and people were discussing the content of "Yang Jiajiang".

Yang Lao Linggong led the troops to go out and fought a bloody battle on the golden beach, the Yang family's eldest lang, second lang, third lang, and seven lang were killed in battle, Shilang and eight lang were captured, Wulang became a monk, and the entire Yang family was almost wiped out. Yang Liulang and Yang Zongbao inherited the legacy of their father and brother and continued to fight. The men died, and women such as She Taijun and Mu Guiying also went to the battlefield, and they were extremely tragic, and the story of the Yang family was brought to life by Shen Xi.

Shen Xi picked up wonderful content and wrote, and after the storyteller's oil and vinegar, it was difficult not to make a sensation.

And Shen Xi deliberately left a foreshadowing in this book, the story was not finished at all, only the paragraph where Mu Guiying was in charge was the most exciting part of the book, but it came to an abrupt end.

The storyteller can't make it up at all, because it's unreasonable to let a woman be in charge, but people just like this paragraph, and in the end, the storyteller can only pass it with a big victory, and the people naturally don't buy it.

Even so, the story of "Yang Jiajiang" is also said over and over again in various teahouses, and now it is the summer agricultural leisure scene, and people in and outside the city have time to listen to books, which has caused a more and more sensational effect.

On this day, Shen Xi sent calligraphy and painting to the calligraphy and painting shop again, and this was his third visit.

The first time Shen Xi sent calligraphy and paintings, the shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop drove out the shabby-dressed Shen Xi without even looking at it. Shen Xi didn't give up, he went again the second time, and without waiting for the shopkeeper to drive people, he quickly spread out the calligraphy and paintings for the shopkeeper to see, and the shopkeeper saw that the calligraphy and paintings were good and did not drive people again. It's just that the shopkeeper has limited vision and can't tell whether this landscape painting is Wang Meng's work or not, so he asked Shen Xi to take the calligraphy and painting back.

Shen Xi came this time, has already thought about the rhetoric in advance, so after seeing the shopkeeper, he told that the owner of this painting is a Hui merchant, passing by Ninghua County suddenly suffered from a serious illness, after being cured of the disease, he became extremely poor, and he could only sell the ancestral painting, and the Hui merchant did not want to lose face, so he asked him to run errands to send the painting. Selling family heirlooms is a very bad thing, and Shen Xi's words are reasonable.

The shopkeeper saw that Shen Xi came twice or three times, and he was clearly afraid, so it seemed that there should be no problem with calligraphy and painting. But he didn't want to take a risk, so he agreed to leave the painting for consignment...... The so-called consignment is that the store does not pay for it, and if someone buys the calligraphy and painting, the store charges a 30% commission.

Although the commission of thirty percent is more, but for Shen Xi, he can't refuse, it is better to stay in the calligraphy and painting shop to sell on consignment than to keep it in his hand and rot, if this painting can be sold, he can get some silver back, so that his study and the life of the whole family will be guaranteed.

It's a pity that a few days have passed, and there has been no movement at all, so that Shen Xi gradually lost hope in this matter.

June and July are the hottest times of the year, and Shen Xi still has to press paper and paint every day, and his works are no longer limited to the early Ming Dynasty.

The most famous talent in the Hongzhi period was Tang Yin, who was famous in the south of the Yangtze River, and at the age of fifteen, he won the first place in the provincial examination to make up for the attached students of Suzhou Prefecture. At this time, Tang Yin had not yet solved the Yuan, and his calligraphy and painting skills had not reached the realm of perfection in his later years, and Shen Xi was not very satisfied with several imitations.

Another morning, Shen Xi went to the calligraphy and painting shop to ask if the calligraphy and paintings were sold, and when he saw that his paintings were still hanging on the wall, he couldn't help but go out with disappointment. From a distance, I saw that the people in front of the teahouse in the north of the city were blocked, and even if there was a new story on weekdays, I didn't see people so enthusiastic.

After listening to it in the past, Shen Xi knew that it was Lin Zhongye of the Ministry of Industry who came to the teahouse to listen to the book, no matter whether he had heard "Yang Jiajiang" before or not, he wanted to sit in the teahouse, and when he said it later, it was also the same tea as the court officials of Zhengwupin, eating the same bits and pieces and listening to the same books, which had a lot of face.

This teahouse is the one that Shen Xi sent out the "Yang Family General" storybook, and most of the "Yang Family General" said by other tea house storytellers in the city were obtained from stealing from here. Shen Xi had no intention of squeezing into the teahouse, if the storyteller recognized him, it meant that the owner of the book would sabotage his plan.

Shen Xi glanced at a few officials outside the teahouse who maintained order, and turned around and went home.

At this time, in the teahouse, Han Xian Ling was wearing a loose straight robe, that is, a robe with a straight collar, a big placket, and a right side, and accompanied Lin Zhongye, who was also in the same attire, to listen to the book.

Because of the unexpected arrival of Han County Ling and Lin Langzhong, the story of "Yang Jiajiang" can only start from the beginning. The storyteller was like a river, telling the story that had been polished several times vividly, Lin Zhongye couldn't help but smile and nod when he heard it, obviously this story was very much to his liking.

The rules of storytellers were originally only said once at a time, but when the powerful came, they had to continue to talk about it and not just pat the wood and "decompose it next time...... The officials don't have that much time to listen to you next time!

After talking more than a dozen times in a row, seeing that the story came to an end, the storyteller hurriedly went back to the back hall to solve his personal problems, and by the way, he rested his throat, which was already a little hot, and at this time, Han Xianling finally had the opportunity to talk to Lin Zhongye.

"Lord Lin, Ninghua is in the middle of nowhere, and there is nothing to entertain, but the humanities are quite prosperous...... Are you satisfied with what you heard? Han Xian Lingshu asked with a smile.

Lin Zhongye picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, and said: "I didn't expect that Guixian County was actually a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and this official had never heard such an interesting story in Beijing, and the two plays I watched before were also very exquisite." ”

Han Xianling nodded with relief and said, "As long as Lord Lin likes it." I'm going to let the storyteller come out and finish the book quickly. ”

The storyteller rested a little longer, and Han Xie was a little dissatisfied, so he asked Xia Zhushu to go in and urge after changing the tea.

Master Xia is in person, and the storyteller has to grit his teeth even if he is so tired that he only has one breath left, and the county order of the broken family is not for fun.

The storyteller returned to the stage, and then said in the last book that it didn't take long to talk about the part where Mu Guiying was in charge, which was the prelude to Mu Guiying and Yang Zongbao breaking the heavens, but unfortunately at the most exciting time, the storyteller came to a "big thief army", and the whole play ended.

"Appeal ......"

Because this has been said several times, the listeners are very unconvinced of this ending, and when the story is finished, without waiting for Han County Ling and Lin Zhongye to react, the surrounding audience has already expressed their true feelings.

Lin Zhongye pointed at the storyteller and asked, "Lord Han, do you think this ending is too hasty?" ”

"This ......"

Han Xianling's face was a little unsightly, and his gaze immediately fell on Master Xia, who was standing aside.

Master Xia understood it, followed the storyteller to the backstage, and when he asked, he realized that it was not that people didn't want to say it, but that this statement was already here, and it couldn't be compiled later.

Master Xia said angrily: "This is said to have been written by you, why should you write half of it, isn't this fooling people?" Besides, there is the plot of "Shiro Visits His Mother" later, why don't you write it together? ”

The storyteller shouted that he was wronged: "Official, don't be angry with the villain, this book was not written by us, and a child came out of nowhere that day, holding a thick stack of paper in his hand, on which a book was written." Originally, we didn't take it seriously, but when we looked at the story, it was in the same vein as the "Shiro Visits the Mother" performed in the county a few days ago, telling the story of the Yang family, so we said, who knew that the effect was so good...... But that's the end of the book, where can we go to find the second half? ”

Master Xia's face sank after hearing this, but he didn't have a good seizure, and he knew that it would be useless to force the storyteller, so he had to go back and tell Han County Ling and Lin Zhongye about the matter.

Lin Zhongye was quite disappointed: "It's a pity that I can't hear the second half, it's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

said three "pity" in a row, and Han Xianling's face suddenly looked bad. Originally, Lin Zhongye was invited to come out to listen to the book just to meet the officials, but now it's good, Lin Zhongye is very dissatisfied when he listens to the book and falls in the air half, so is this a stammer or an offense?

Han Xian Ling said to Master Xia with a straight face: "No matter what, you must find the person who wrote this book, otherwise you will be the master book...... Humph......"

After speaking, Han County Ling followed Lin Langzhong away.

This is a bitter Xia master, although he is said to be a rank from the ninth rank of the official, Han County Order may not be able to do what he wants, but his power completely depends on the degree of Han County Order's letting go, as long as he hands over all his powers to others, then what is the taste of this empty master book?

It stands to reason that it is not difficult to find someone, but how to find someone if you don't even know who they are?

Back at the county office, Master Xia's heart was extremely entangled, and he suddenly thought that there was a play "Shiro Visits His Mother" in the script presented that day, and he was rewarded with silver at that time, could this be written by the same person?

"Call me in."

Master Xia commanded the book office, and someone immediately called.

The people came soon, and it was the yacha who deducted the reward money and beat Shen Xi with a stick that day.

As soon as Li Dali entered the door, he nodded: "Lord Bookkeeper, do you always call the little one?" ”

Master Xia said coldly: "Before, you said that a relative in your family sent a script, and I was happy to let you give out two taels of reward, but is there such a thing?" ”

Li Dali was proud in his heart, the empty glove white wolf got two taels of silver, which was comparable to his two months' salary, how could he forget such a good thing?

"Yes, your old noble man forgets things, how can the little one forget?"

Master Xia said: "Okay, you go and invite your relative, I want to ask him what is going on with this script and the book of "Yang Family General". ”

The smile on Li Dali's face instantly stiffened, and then his face turned green.
