Chapter 101: Momentum

The Jing brothers couldn't run a few steps, so they bought a printmaking of Emperor Zhang Wenchang in a shop selling New Year's pictures on the street.

Some good deeds smiled and asked: "Brother Jing, you two can't read a few big characters, what are you doing to buy this kind of thing?" ”

Emperor Wenchang's original surname is Zhang, a native of Zitong, Sichuan, and he is the god of fame and fame of the scholars respected by the people and Taoism. The name of Wenchang is also known as Wenqu Star. Generally speaking, ordinary scholars have to worship this god before participating in the imperial examination, and after gaining fame, they must also burn a pillar of incense in front of his god statue to make a vow.

Shandong printmaking is well-known at home, and the engraving and printing are extremely exquisite. Later, it was uploaded to Tianjin Wei in the north, which gave birth to the famous Yangliu Youth Painting in later generations.

The Jing brothers held the portrait of Emperor Wenchang high above their heads, and replied loudly: "Naturally, I am going to report the good news, my fathers and fellow villagers, you probably haven't heard of it, I, Zou Ping, have a great talent, and I have to be the first person in the Shandong Academy in the middle of the year." My brothers and I have been short of money these days, and after getting this good news, they naturally want to go to other people's places to get some joy and get a few strings of money to spend. ”

Their voices were very loud, and this shout attracted many people to gather around.

Someone asked: "I heard that there are a few people in Zouping who have won the show this year, it seems that they belong to the family of the Marquis Sun of Huichang, but I haven't heard that anyone in the county has won the first place." Brother Jing, you won't be scamming money, right? ”

"You know! How can my two brothers say that they are also relatives of the Sun family, and they get the news faster and more accurately than you, can we still deceive people? The Jing brothers sneered: "To tell you the truth, the student who took the first place in the examination of the Shandong Institute of Science and Technology is a native of Zouping County, and his surname is Sun and the word is Jingyuan." Bachelor Xiao Yang said that this Sun Dan is the first talent in Shandong, and he will be a master in the future. Once you get a jinshi, you will be an official. ”

"Ahh Everyone sighed for a while, and when they heard that Zou Ping was the first in the college exam, they were all excited, and hurriedly asked: "Who is Sun Dan, there is a person named Sun Dan in the city." However, he worked as a gardener in Sun's house, so I didn't hear that he was studying. ”

"Yes, yes, that's him." The Jing brothers laughed: "Even if you say it, this Sun Dan is his Sun Dan, the son-in-law of the Ten Thousand Butcher." Although he is a florist of the Sun family, he is naturally smart and a reading seed. As long as you look at any article, you can remember it clearly, and you can write it in January. This time, the Sun family participated in the children's exam, and the Sun family saw that he was talented, so they let him try it and let him take the exam. But who would have thought that a genius is a genius, starting from the county exam, he passed all the way and won the first place in Shandong. After studying for three months, he got the name of a little genius. Bachelor Xiao Yang also said that he was going to accept Sun Dan as his personal disciple? ”

"Oh!" Everyone took a breath of cold air, and they all said that they didn't expect it, but they didn't expect that Sun Dan looked mediocre, but he was so powerful. But after reading a book for a few months, you can get a fame, is this still a person?

The Jing brothers said proudly: "With my brother's luck, I got the news for the first time, you say, should the two of us go to Wanjia to report the good news and ask for some reward?" ”

"Yes, yes!" As soon as everyone remembered the stingy appearance of Butcher Wan on weekdays, they all laughed: "This time you should let him have some blood, what is the identity of your two brothers, this time you came to congratulate him, no matter what, you have to let him pay two dollars to come out to eat." ”

Although they had the idea of making Butcher Wan bleed, everyone was still envious of Butcher Wan having such a famous son-in-law. Some people are already saying that if Sun Dan is really the first talent in Shandong as the Jing brothers said, and he will be a master in the future, wouldn't this 10,000 butcher be an old lady and enjoy happiness. A filthy and stingy butcher has such a creation, is his ancestral tomb good feng shui?

However, Zouping County can come up with such a case, which makes everyone feel very proud. In particular, this Sun Dan is still an ordinary person. In the past, the number of talents in Zouping County was basically covered by the Sun family, after all, it is a big family, the teachers are much stronger than ordinary people, and the probability of producing talents is also much higher.

However, although the Hou family of Huichang is also from Zouping, they have houses, land, and slaves in Jingshi, Tianjinwei, and Jinan, as if they have little to do with Zouping, and the big guy does not regard the Sun family as his own.

Now, Sun Dan has finally come out, and he has won the first place, and he will be overwhelmed by the Changhou family.

Everyone was very excited.

With a roar, everyone followed the Jing brothers and rushed towards the Ten Thousand Butcher's house.

Along with this commotion, the townspeople, who had just woken up, heard the commotion, and ran out of the door, asking why, and joined the huge procession.

On the way, the big pair of people met a few advocates, and when they heard that they were going to report the good news. Several people immediately started drumming, sounded the suona and joined in, and while blowing, they asked: "Is there any money to take, is there any money to take?" ”

"Nonsense, we are here to report the good news, so naturally you are indispensable."

"In this way, we can rest assured, but there is such a talented person in my county, even if we don't have a penny to pay for it, we have to go and make a fun and pull up the scene."

The team set off from the north gate, shouting and singing all the way, and occasionally the loud gongs, drums and suona sounds, which shook a county town into a lively place.

The butcher was at home, he had just killed two pigs the previous night, and he was a little tired, and when he got up, he felt tired. asked his son Wanli to take his apprentice to set up a stall first, and he sat alone at home drinking wine with the leftover peanuts and rice he ate yesterday. Hearing the sound of blowing outside, I first wondered in my heart: "This early in the morning, who is marrying a daughter, and the day is not right!" ”

The lady of his family was originally a "woman", and most of the "women" liked to watch the excitement. So, he ran to the gate of the courtyard, opened the door, and just poked his head out. But when he saw that the Jing brothers were fierce and vicious, they rushed in with a group of people, and as soon as they entered the door, they shouted: "Ten thousand butchers, great joy!" ”

Wan Jianiang: "Ouch! With a bang, he sat on the ground in shock, and shouted repeatedly: "The incident has happened, run away!" ”

Butcher Wan was surprised, but he was angry and annoyed. "What's going on? I am a butcher, all day long with white knives in and red knives out, and my men are so bad that there are not 10,000 pigs, but 8,000. But he is a law-abiding person, and he has not committed any crimes, so what is he running away from? ”

Seeing that it was the Jing brothers who rushed to the forefront, Wan Butcher sighed in his heart, these two people are not good at getting along, are they here to beat my old Wan Qiufeng?

He put down the cup, "touched" his greasy hand to the pig-killing knife next to him, and shouted with his eyebrows and hair: "Brother Jing, what are you doing here with me?" ”
