Chapter 5: Talented
"Well, let her rest." Su Lin coughed, it was estimated that he had a cold when he fell into the water that day, "Then Wu San was sentenced to beheading?" ”
Murder is a serious crime, especially killing people in the state city, not to mention that Wu San wronged a Xiucai, this crime is added to the crime, Su Lin estimated that this person would not be able to escape the death penalty. , I can't help but feel a little unbearable.
It's not that Sulin Bodhisattva has a heart, yesterday he hated this Wu San so much that he couldn't wait to break this fang into thousands of pieces, now that the matter has passed, I think back to the old woman, what can I do if there is no man in the house.
Yu Yan shook his head, picked up a wet towel to help Su Lin wipe his face: "According to the yamen, it is said that it is going to be recharged, I heard that this Wu San has two brothers, and they have both gone to war. ”
I have to admit that the folk customs here are actually quite simple, although Wu San said that he harmed himself and the woman, but such a big filial son, there is no hidden secret, and the ancients regarded loyalty and filial piety as the most important, thinking about this Wu San's old mother, I don't think he is so hateful.
"By the way, Brother Wen Bang, a girl came to see you yesterday, she looks so beautiful, like a fairy in a painting!" After Yu Liang finished speaking, he didn't wait for Su Lin to reply, so he continued.
Su Lin was stunned, he hadn't married any woman when he first came to this world, could it be that Su Xiucai's old friend? sat up and put his head on the head of the bed with difficulty: "Jade Scales, have you asked the girl's name and thanked others?" ”
"That's it, she seems to be called Yun Su'er, singing in the tile shop, hehe, brother, she actually went to the tile shop without taking me..."Yu Yan scratched her head and smiled.
Looking at the expression of the jade scale, I understand the elder brother, Su Lin was angry, but how could this Su'er come to visit him again? Thinking of the shadow in the attic that night, the beautiful singing voice seemed to linger in his ears, and Su Lin's heart was inexplicably soft.
Hey, I just came here and had unrequited love, is it the estrus period?
"Stinky boy, color is emptiness, color is emptiness! How could I possibly go to that kind of place! If you don't serve your mother well, what kind of mess is on your mind! Su Lin patted Jade Scale's head, but he pulled the wound hard because of his words, and couldn't help rubbing his forehead, "Huh-"
Jade Scales didn't feel any pain in her brain, but said with a hippie smile: "You readers are like this, I don't know what color is empty or color, Jade Scale only knows that most of the readers in the Goolan tile shop!" ”
Su Lin's face was hot, and he was about to stretch out his hand, but the young man had expected it, dodged it, and stuck out his tongue: "Brother, I'll go and bring you porridge." ”
"Childish!" Looking at the young man's bouncing figure, Su Lin scolded with a smile.
However, this kid is also cute, and when he looked around the room, he found that in addition to a table and a large basket of books, there was only the bed he slept on.
It seems that this Su Xiucai is really studying hard, ten years of hard study, in the end, he failed twice, and was framed by others, no wonder the first thing he thought about was not how to justify, but committed suicide by throwing himself into the river.
But... This kid has no sense of responsibility, don't say anything about the glory of the ancestors, this family has to stand up, don't let the cousin and the hard-working aunt suffer!
Looking for the memory in his mind, Su Lin took out three hundred copper coins under the wooden pillow and sighed: "Eh! Money! ”
Since more than 10 years ago, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River have been continuous every year, and the harvest is good and bad year, and the Tianfu granary, which the Song Kingdom mainly relied on, had to transport grain from CD and the Central Plains from time to time to provide disaster relief, and three hundred yuan could buy five or six catties of rice here.
In fact, it stands to reason that 300 yuan can still manage one person to eat for a while, but this is still Su Xiucai's frugality, as a scholar, not only has to eat, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and books, you need to be comprehensive.
Even, sometimes you need to give the examiner a point or two, although this will not make him cheat, but the final score needs to be played by the electricity bill, such as a typo, or a paragraph that does not matter...
According to what Su Xiucai learned, although he is not a high school jinshi, if he has this little money, it is not difficult to end up in the last place...
However, for Su Xiucai, the cost of dotting is unattainable, and I am afraid that he needs to be so frugal and use his savings for several years to get it.
Su Lin only felt why he was so miserable, he was wronged when he first came here, he almost took his life, ended up with a death and was scolded, in order to prove his innocence, he was hit and bled out, not to mention, he was still poor...
In the world I live in, it is the era when the elements of travel are prevalent, whether it is through or overhead, those protagonists are either princes and generals or the stupid sons of landlords and old rich people, why is this matter different when it is their turn?!
It seems that he is in the air, but according to the memory in Su Xiucai's mind, except for a few cases, history is not much different from the world he was originally in.
"Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, with my advanced knowledge, I can't live a nourishing life here!"
Just as Su Lin looked up at the ceiling covered with cobwebs and muttered to himself, Jade Scale walked in with a bowl of gruel: "Brother, what do you say Lao Tzu knows!" ”
"Uh, ahem... I mean, the sages and Lao Tzu want to talk about self-cultivation..."Su Lin smiled awkwardly, staring at the floating rice grains in the bowl, and said in his heart, "But before that, I have to do one thing..."
……
Su Lin recovered quickly, and the scabs on his forehead had begun to fall off after two days of cultivation, and Su Lin, who had been forced by his aunt to recuperate for two or three days at home, had already panicked and couldn't wait to go out.
If you don't go out to find some business opportunities, how can you live in this world?
However, before that, I had to go to Yun Su'er's house first, Fan saved himself in front, Su'er visited her in the back, if she didn't come to thank her, it was also with this excuse that Su Lin was able to escape from her aunt's "clutches".
Originally, Fang's mother insisted on giving herself thirty coppers, saying that she couldn't go to thank others empty-handed, Su Lin felt that life at home was already sad, second, she was embarrassed, and third, she still had three hundred coppers on herself, so she just shirked it.
If it was Su Xiucai's nerd, I am afraid that after a bit of shirking, he would also put it away and save it to buy books.
The willows are still around, the river breeze is a little cool on the face, Su Lin's house is not very far from the Yamen, they are all leaning on the Guanhe, and Yun Su'er's house is not far from the opposite side of the Guanhe.
"The twenty-four bridges are empty and lonely, and the green poplars destroy the old official river", the small Qinhuai River is the place where Yangzhou gathers, fireworks and willow lanes, there are no surprises, and this official river is a part of the Grand Canal, merchant ships and official ships come and go endlessly, the starting point and the end point, either Bianjing or Jiangning.
At this time, it was the time for the slender men to pull the boats, shouting unknown horns in their mouths, every penny of blood, sweat and money.
Sighing at the industriousness and simplicity of the working people, Su Lin didn't pay attention to it for long, and left this place in a hurry.
When Su Lin came to Yun Su'er's house, it happened that they had just eaten, and Su Lin's news spread all over Yangzhou City, and the Fan family also knew the whole case, and felt a little guilty about his suspicion of Su Lin yesterday, and insisted on serving Su Lin a bowl as well.
Su Lin easily shirked it, put the pastries he had just bought from the road and gave to Fan's on the table, bent his waist, and said sincerely: "Thank you mother-in-law for saving your life!" ”
Fan Shi was startled, and hurriedly helped Su Lin up: "This can't be helped, the official is a talent, and the old body can't stand it..."
"Mother-in-law Yu Sulin is a life-saving grace, Sulin Mo said that it was a worship, even if he gave up this waist pole, there was no way to repay it, if Granny Fan did not accept it, Sulin would not get up!" Surin was indifferent.
"Grandma, you will be worshiped by Su Guanren!" Seeing that it was not a solution for the two to stalemate, Yun Su'er walked down from the attic and persuaded.
In desperation, the Fan family had no choice but to follow Su Lin.
After Su Lin shushed for a while, Fan went into the stove room to wash the dishes, leaving only Su and Yun at the stone table in the courtyard, and for a while, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
Feeling the gust of fragrant wind, in the end, Su Lin became thicker-skinned, and took the lead in speaking: "Thank you Miss Yun for coming to visit Su Lin a few days ago..."
Su Lin suddenly started, Yun Su'er was startled, and when she heard Su Lin's words, she couldn't help but blush, lowered her head and said: "Yesterday, I saw the official enter the yamen, Su'er was just curious and watched, I don't want the official to be so dignified, since I have met the official again, why not go to visit..."
Su Lin could naturally feel Yun Su'er's shyness, and his heart was pounding, flirting with this kind of girl was really throbbing...
"Damn, what's wrong with me, how can such a good girl have such impure thoughts?" Su Lin scolded himself in his heart, "Su Lin, Su Lin, flirt with my sister, flirt with your sister!" ”
With a dry laugh, Su Lin gently scratched his forehead, which was a little itchy because of healing: "Su Lin is just a poor scholar, with no talent and no virtue, how can he be worthy of such a rare visit from Miss Yun?" ”
Yun Su'er was also amused by Su Lin's action, and couldn't help but sneer, covered her mouth lightly and said: "The official is really funny, and now the whole Yangzhou is rumoring about the talented Su Lin in the Yamen a few days ago!" ”
"Talented?" Su Lin was stunned for a moment, and his face was dazed: "What the hell is this?" ”
Yun Su'er's eyes widened and she stared at Su Lin suspiciously: "What the hell is going on?" ”
After being asked like this, Su Lin came back to his senses and found that he couldn't help but say something wrong, and it would be miserable if he was regarded as an alternative.
Thinking of the "alternatives" who were tied to copper pillars and roasted with fire and flooded in pig cages in ancient times, Su Lin broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and hurriedly said: "What's going on with this talented man?" ”
Yun Su'er covered her mouth and smiled, telling the cause and effect.
It turned out that compared to Su Lin's case, Su Lin's song "Lime Yin" that day was really famous in Yangzhou, "I am not afraid of broken bones, I want to leave my innocence in the world", which interprets that Su Lin proved that he was framed by death, and he was like lime in an unspeakable situation, and this poem is almost a peerless masterpiece of revenge for himself!
Not only that, but this poem fully demonstrates the character that a true literati needs to have!
This makes Su Lin a "genius" who is not inferior to the four talents of Yangzhou.
