When Zhang San took Liu Gouwa to the good place he said, Liu Gouwa was stunned, this is an old bookstore, and there are more than 20 children playing in the study. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although the five dynasties emphasized martial arts and light literature, it does not mean that the imperial examination system founded by the Sui and Tang dynasties was abolished, and a scientific examination would still be held every year, but the situation was turbulent, the military town was self-reliant, the society was chaotic, the people's livelihood was difficult, and food and clothing became a big problem. These children are also the children of wealthy families in the state city, wearing silk clothes, gorgeous and bright, in stark contrast to Zhang San and Li Si.

Zhang San and their half-grown children have not entered the school, have not read books, and when they meet children of the same age playing together, they feel very happy, probably because things are gathered by like, and people are divided by groups, no wonder there is a generation gap in later generations, and only people of the same age have common interests and topics.

Mr. Shushu is not the kind of old pedant we are familiar with, but a middle-aged scribe, seeing Liu Gouwa and others looking outside the school, he came out and asked Liu Gouwa, "What's the matter?" ”

"Sir is polite." Liu Gouwa bowed to the middle-aged scribe.

"No courtesy." The middle-aged scribe saw that Liu Gouwa was polite and not like the children of the mountain village, so he couldn't help but reply kindly.

"Boys, brothers, I inadvertently disturb your school, I hope Mr. forgive me." Liu Gouwa saluted again.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, the young man is polite." The middle-aged scribe smiled and said, seeing that although Liu Gouwa was dressed ordinarily and thin, she was dark and thin, but she was not like an ignorant and rude child, so he asked again: "Has the young man ever read and write?" ”

"Back to Mr. Hui, the boys have never read or read. Only occasionally have I heard the traveling scholars reciting poetry in the city. Liu Gouwa replied half-truthfully, it is true that the predecessor Goudan has not read a book, and if it is that Liu Gouwa has read a lot of books in the Republic, but it is not an ancient text such as the Four Books and the Five Classics.

"Alas! It's a pity! Such a good seedling......" The middle-aged scribe looked at Liu Gouwa, shook his head and sighed helplessly, and then turned around and walked towards the study school lonely, ignoring Liu Gouwa and them.

After a while, a mournful song came from the school: "Shixi, Shiyi; Half a lifetime of fame and half a lifetime of hazy; It is difficult to repay the life of a book; Tear-stained wet clothes fold themselves; It is difficult to trust each other for begging for food; who is drunk in the poor house; Don't talk about the troubled times to show heroes........"

Liu Gouwa listened carefully outside the school, knowing that the middle-aged scribe was a frustrated person in fame, in this era, the military governs the country, the literature is light and the military is heavy, even if you are admitted to the champion, there may not be an official to do, the champion of this era does not have the same importance as the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, but there are some slight preferential treatments, not to mention that the number of people admitted to each subject is very small, just the political needs of the imperial court, and the façade project. At this time, the literati were not as good as the merchants, and the merchants could buy the official jobs as long as they paid the money, while the literati who were admitted to the Jinshi examination had to stay for two or three years, or even four or five years before they were released as officials.

When Liu Gouwa Zhang San and others returned to the inn, it was already dark, and they happened to see the group of salt merchants who were detained by the army yesterday at the door of the inn, and they also lived in this inn, and the steward of the salt merchant was in the guest hall inside, bending down and whispering to a young man, this son was none other than the young man with a face like a crown of jade in the green building, sitting at a table at this time, drinking slowly, listening to the words of the steward, nodding his head from time to time, and never saying a word.

"Alright, let's arrange it like this." When the young man saw Liu Gouwa enter the wine hall, he said softly, always with a smile on his face, looking at Liu Gouwa from afar.

As soon as Liu Gouwa entered the wine hall, Xiao Er in the wine hall greeted him early, led Liu Gouwa to the young man's table, and said to the young man: "Childe, this is the brewer of this wine, Liu Dongzhu." ”

"I'm glad to be there, I didn't expect that proprietor Liu is so young, please take a seat." The young man bowed his hand and bowed.

Liu Gouwa only felt that a burst of fragrance went straight to her nostrils, which was similar to the smell of perfume in later generations, and she couldn't help but sneeze and said, "You're polite, I don't know what's going on with Gongzi Xun?" I thought, a big man is greased and powdered, what kind of body is it, I am afraid that I will admit my mistake, and I inadvertently looked at his Adam's apple, he is really a man, not a disguise.

"Under the surname Tang, the name Hao, a native of the Tang Dynasty, his father is a businessman, and the younger brother also helps to run errands in his spare time, wandering around, I don't know what to call Liu Dongzhu?" The young man didn't answer, but introduced his identity first.

"The surname is Liu, hehe, the name is a bit vulgar, and the dog egg is." When Liu Gouwa heard the elegant name of the young man, she was embarrassed to introduce her name.

"Haha, it's really vulgar." The young man laughed without scruples, and then said: "However, the name is just a person's code name, and the cat and dog are still this person, so it doesn't matter." ”

"Yes." When Liu Gouwa heard this, she also responded boldly.

"It is said that the little brother made good wine at a young age, and the little brother came to visit it, and after trying it, it was really a good wine, and it lived up to its reputation." The young man said again.

"Brewed some nonsense, and smiled."

"This is also called indiscriminate brewing, and if you brew it seriously, isn't it a jade juice. Joked, this time, in addition to seeing the brewer himself, the little brother also plans to order some drinks from you to return to the Tang Kingdom, I don't know if it's possible? ”

Of course, those who do business will not refuse business to come to their door, and they will disperse after saying their intention to buy and sell at the moment.

Early the next morning, Liu Gouwa got up to run, he knew that his body was weak, and he insisted on exercising during this time, which often caused everyone to look sideways and was strange. On this day, as soon as he ran out of the door of the guest hall, he saw the middle-aged scribe in the study school come to the guest hall to buy wine, only to hear the junior in the guest hall ask: "Sun Xiucai, come to sell wine so early?" ”

"Oh, yes, a full can." After Sun Xiucai finished speaking, he carefully handed over the wine jar.

Xiao Er took Sun Xiucai's wine jar and said, "I heard that the autumn test is going to be held again this year, why haven't you gone to Beijing yet?" ”

"If you don't go, if you don't go, it's useless to get in, and you don't necessarily have to let it go for three or five years."

"It's better than you living on rice and grain now, is the wine money for this time She or repaid?"

"Oh, let's do it first, and I'll pay you back at the end of the month." Sun Xiucai was busy talking, and he said in a low voice, completely lacking the scribe temperament of Liu Gouwa outside the school.

Liu Gouwa looked at Sun Xiucai and a Qing Gao scribe for a jar of wine, and whispered to the inn Xiaoer, very unbearable, although they only met, but their impression of him was still good, and after Sun Xiucai left, he asked Xiao Er: "Does this Sun Xiucai often come to sell wine?" ”

"You say this Sun Xiucai, he is a drunkard, he has to come to sell wine almost every two days, and he always pays on credit." Xiao Er said with some disdain.

"Oh, how much silver did he have?" Liu Gouwa asked.

"It's not much, just half a tael of silver."

"I have two taels of silver, so let's count his future wine money." After Liu Gouwa finished speaking, she took out two taels of silver and handed them to Xiao Er.

"Oops, how does this make ........" Xiao Er hurriedly excused himself, not knowing why Liu Gouwa wanted to pay for Sun Xiucai.

"Take it, I have a relationship with Sun Xiu, and we are in love with each other." Liu Gouwa stuffed the silver on the little second-hand, and the little two received the silver to the counter with a twist.

Liu Gouwa thought after Sun Xiucai's drinking, Zhang San and Li Si, a dozen or so children at this age, had almost graduated from primary school in the Republic era, but now they were all illiterate among illiterates, and couldn't help but plan to send them to Sun Xiucai to read some books and read some words. Although Liu Gouwa has no kinship with them, they have established a deep relationship with each other these days, and Zhang San and Li Si also regard themselves as their elder brothers.

So, in the afternoon, Liu Gouwa sold two cans of wine and came to the study again, the middle-aged scribe was teaching, Liu Gouwa waited for a while, and the middle-aged scribe saw him. Liu Gouwa explained the intention, and the middle-aged scribe hesitated for a while, then accepted Liu Gouwa's wine, and invited Liu Gouwa to the study school to discuss the restraint, that is, the tuition fee.

Sun Xiucai took the school as his home, originally he was also the son of a large family, his family was wiped out in the war, and he was the only one in the clan who escaped, and now he is alone and has not started a family. After he was admitted to Xiucai, he was examined every year, but he failed every year, and when he was disheartened, he stopped referring to it and made a living as a professor at the school. The school is also chic, there is a wooden bridge flowing water pavilion in front, and there is a preserved fruit garden in the back, planting some seasonal melons and vegetables. Liu Gouwa couldn't help but say: "Sir, this school is very chic, extraordinary." ”

"In troubled times, you have a bad room, and you just have to settle down."

"The country has been unified, the world is peaceful, how can there be troubled times." Liu Gouwa said against her will.

"The country has been unified, and the world is peaceful?" Sun Xiucai asked coldly, and then said with a sneer: "The country you kid said is just a small country, and the world is no longer the world it used to be, and now there are many warlords in the country, and they are not subordinate to each other, and they have become a big trend, the people's livelihood is in trouble, disasters are continuous, thousands of miles of red wilderness, there are Khitan in the north and Tang in the south, and there is Shu in the west, this is not the trend of chaos in the world, what is it?" ”

"The kid is taught." Liu Gouwa said to Sun Xiucai heartily, in this era, the immersive ancients can see the situation at this time so clearly, after all, it is a minority, is this Sun Xiucai is the Longzhong Zhuge who is not good-looking, and can't help but ask: "Does that gentleman have a countermeasure?" ”

"Freezing three feet, not a day's cold, just the right medicine, but it's easier said than done."

"If it's the right medicine, why is it so difficult to do?"

"Pulling a hair and moving the whole body, beating the grass startled out a number of snakes, and attacking them in groups, but it backfired."

Originally, Liu Gouwa bent his waist for Sun Xiucai for a jar of wine, and had a contempt for him, but at this time, he admired his advanced insight so much that he threw himself to the ground. Zhao Kuangyin did a better job, and a glass of wine got centralized power.

Liu Gouwa will not engage in brand effect when he sees Lin Shopkeeper in the Lin Family Wine Inn, and he will not engage in agent sales when he sees the innkeeper in Zhoucheng, and he thought that the wisdom and insight of the ancients are nothing more than that, but Sun Xiucai's insight shocked Liu Gouwa for a moment. It seems that there are super-capable people in every era.
