Chapter Ninety-Eight: No Coincidence

Wu Wending walked up to Zhou Zhi with a smile, punched Zhou Zhi's shoulder, and said, "What a brother Zhou Zhixian, he is really talented, so Brother Rang is really envious." ”

He was a burly figure, and the force of this punch was not small, Zhou Zhi felt a faint pain, and said with a bitter smile, "Brother Shi Tai is lighter, this punch will make the little brother hurt for several days." ”

Because of this punch, the distance between the two narrowed a lot in an instant.

Fan Jin was already refreshed and ecstatic. He glanced at the stunned Xu Jing, picked up the paper that Zhou Zhi had just written, and sighed in admiration, "It's really a good hand, it seems that Zhao Mengfu is alive, no, even Zhao Mengfu may not be able to write such a handsome Xiaokai." ”

He's touting it again. The calligraphy that Zhou Zhi learned was that of Guan Province and Zhao Mengfu. Zhao Mengfu's "Orchid Pavilion Thirteen Trek" authentic works, Zhou Zhi picked up the omission again, Zhou Zhi carefully read, his own calligraphy and Zhao Mengfu's is still a lot different.

Zhou Zhi hurriedly said, "Brother Fan, don't brag, do you know that the younger brother just practiced writing when he was writing couplets, how can he compare with Zhao Mengfu?" It's really embarrassing for you to say this, to call your little brother! ”

It is very sincere and sincere.

But Zhou Zhi said this, which made Xu Jing even more embarrassed. What the? Just writing couplets and practicing words has become like this, and I have Xu Jing after so many years of hard work, but it is not as simple as you writing Spring Festival couplets and practicing words?

It's infuriating!

His face became extremely pale, and the air in his stomach was bulging, but he was speechless at this time.

The atmosphere in the living room became awkward because of Xu Jing's displeasure.

Everyone is friends, although Lu Xingchuan is impressed with Zhou Zhi today, he does not reveal too much at this time.

He said with a smile, "Although Brother Zhou Zhixian is very talented, after all, he doesn't read much, and the most important thing for me today is to ask Brother Zhifu for advice on the difficulties of doing eight shares." The straight husband and the virtuous brother are so young and heavy, but I think that I Lu Xingchuan is forty years old, but I haven't even passed the show, which is really embarrassing.

Everyone has seen the eight strands that Brother Naofu did just now, and it's extraordinary! ”

Lu Xingchuan changed the topic, and Gu Dingchen at this time also echoed, and then Wei Haogu also appreciated the eight-strand article, which made Xu Jing's face slowly ease, and the displeasure just now was slightly relieved.

It was noon, the bookcase in the living room was removed, a large square table was placed, and seven high-backed wooden chairs surrounded it, and Lu Xingchuan beckoned everyone to sit down around the table.

After some pushing, Xu Jing was still allowed to sit in the first place, and Xu Jing's mood became a little happier.

The old servant surnamed Ding was busy alone, but although he was not young, his actions were neat, and he soon filled the table with various dishes, cups and cups. The wine is naturally the kind of Taoyuan wine that Zhou Zhi drank at Lu Xingchuan's house last time.

Fan Jin saw the wine and meat, as if he had forgotten that he almost fell out with Xu Jing just now, and after Xu Jing poured the wine, Fan Jin first saluted Xu Jing with a smile on his face, and said, "Straight husband and virtuous brother, hehe, taste our northern Taoyuan wine, although this wine is not strong, but it can keep out the cold." It is cold in the north, but the straight husband and brother have to drink a few more cups. ”

Fan Jin first toasted to himself, which made Xu Jing's heart more comfortable, and he hurriedly picked up the wine cup and said with a smile, "Brother Fan, please!" ”

Both drank dry at the same time.

Wine is a sharp weapon to resolve conflicts, and soon the wine table will be talking and laughing, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Gu Dingchen and Zhou Zhi were next to each other, and the two talked very much, and they couldn't help but raise their glasses to each other frequently. The relationship between the two is very close.

Wu Wending raised the wine cup towards Zhou Zhi, Zhou Zhi also hurriedly picked it up, Wu Wending said, "Although Brother Zhou Zhixian said that his study time is not long, but he believes that with Brother Xian's ability to never forget, reading must be fast, and this show will be just around the corner." Hehe! Come to Brother Zhou Zhixian, please drink! ”

According to the development of history, Wu Wending will be a big deal in Daming in the future, how could Zhou Zhi not take this opportunity to have a good relationship with him, and hurriedly drank the wine dry.

Lu Xingchuan said with a smile, "Speaking of Brother Zhou Zhixian, he has the ability to never forget, and he can write a beautiful hand, which is of course very good."

But Zhou Zhixian's family is poor, most of the time has to work in the fields, reading is only in his leisure time, poor and does not fall into his will to read, this kind of tenacity and hard work is even more commendable, let me Lu Xingchuan admire! ”

In fact, Xu Jing, Wu Wending and Gu Dingchen have already seen from Zhou Zhi's dress that Zhou Zhi was born in a poor family. At this time, when Lu Xingchuan said it, he couldn't help but cast an admiring look at Zhou Zhi.

Although Xu Jing was born in a wealthy family, he never looked down on the poor. However, the controversy between him and Fan Jin between the southerners and the northerners has always made him unable to completely let go, and he has a young and competitive heart, so there is a mind to compare the southerners and the northerners in everything.

Zhou Zhi is poor and does not fall into the ambition of studying, and his family's wealth is naturally incomparable. But he smiled slightly and said, "Coincidentally, it is not easy to say that Brother Zhou Zhixian's family is poor and it is not admirable to study, and our family of Brother Jiuhe is even more difficult, but he is also very attentive to study!"

Speaking of which, my family background as a virtuous brother of Jiuhe is really a troublesome thing. ”

When Xu Jing said this, Gu Dingchen couldn't help but blush, but he didn't stop Xu Jing, obviously Gu Dingchen had the courage to face the cruel reality.

Xu Jing then told Gu Dingchen's family history.

Gu Dingchen's father is called Gu Xun, Gu Xun opened a small oil shop in Kunshan County, and the life of the family is not good, and there is only one maid with an average appearance in the family. What annoyed Gu Xun was that he was in his fifties, and there was not even a man and half a woman, Gu Xun wanted to take that maid as a concubine, but his old wife was very strict with him and resolutely refused to allow it.

Coincidentally, one day it was raining heavily, and Gu Xun couldn't go home in time in the store, so his old wife asked the maid to deliver the food.

Gu Xun took advantage of this God-given opportunity to achieve good things with the maidservant. Unexpectedly, just this time, the maid was pregnant with a child. After being born, Gu Xun was overjoyed to have a son and named him Gu Dingchen.

How could the old wife be jealous, but she couldn't tolerate Gu Dingchen. When she was furious, she almost killed Gu Dingchen in infancy with a kitchen knife.

Gu Xun was in tears, and the maid also knelt down and begged Gu Xun's old wife, and the old wife gave up. But every day I always see such a child who is not my own, and the old wife is uncomfortable after all. So he quietly threw Gu Dingchen out one night.

Fortunately, Gu Dingchen had a big life, and he met a kind-hearted person, so that a tofu seller picked it up in time, and then he took it home, and kindly offered Gu Dingchen to grow up.

The tofu seller is a bachelor, with no land and no land, and you can imagine how difficult life is. But in that environment, Gu Dingchen has been studying hard and studying tirelessly.

Gu Dingchen also returned home several times to see his biological mother, but Gu Xun's old wife repeatedly made things difficult and always refused to see him. Even if he saw it once in a while, Gu Dingchen couldn't help but feel pain when he saw his biological mother unkempt and bruised all over her body.

To this day, Gu Dingchen has not been able to return to the Gu family after being admitted to Xiucai.

When everyone heard Xu Jing tell Gu Dingchen's tragic life experience, they couldn't help but feel sad and angry, and at the same time they were full of sympathy for Gu Dingchen.

has such a life experience, but Gu Dingchen can treat it correctly and has no inferiority complex at all. Gu Dingchen smiled disapprerovingly, "The family background is so unbearable, it is all a troublesome thing to say, and only by burying your head in the book can you be detached." ”

Zhou Zhi respected Gu Dingchen more at this time, and said, "Speaking of which, the younger brother's family is poor and loves to read, but after all, he is not too hardworking, and Brother Jiuhe is my model for Zhou Zhi's study." ”

Zhou Zhi's sentence can be described as a pun, but others can't think of it. He is actually making up his mind, Gu Dingchen has such a background and will be the champion in high school in the future, and I Zhou Zhi is much better than him now, can't I take the exam in the future?

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, although he is still a white body at this time, and he is far away from the champion, but people must have a goal to strive for, and it is not very important to fail the exam, but this dream is a must.
