Chapter 149: It's hard while trying

As he spoke, Wang Juan opened his small purse, which he had not allowed anyone to move, and took out a piece of paper with words written on it.

"Grandpa Bi, look, this is the first time Xiaobao wrote the handwriting, is it much stronger now than it was then?"

The old man didn't expect Wang Juan to help Zhang Xiaobao speak at this time, took the piece of paper and looked at it, his brows furrowed, and his mouth grinned, where is this word, what a mess, and then think about the natural word written by Zhang Xiaobao, and look at Zhang Xiaobao's age.

The old man was finally moved, how hard did it take to do it? In this regard, Zhang Xiaobao obviously does not have the same talent as Wang Juan, at the beginning, you are the wind and I am the sand, blowing through the duckweed, and occasionally laughing and falling flowers, Wang Juan's talent is revealed.

When I saw that sentence and saw the words, I decided to take a look here, and when I got here, I found that Wang Juan was not only good at writing words and sentences, but more importantly, she knew that she was standing behind Zhang Xiaobao at such a young age, just like Wang Qiaoer, the girl of the Wang family.

When walking, retreat a little, and try to let Zhang Xiaobao be in front when she speaks, as long as Zhang Xiaobao does something wrong or says the wrong thing, she will stand up and help Zhou Quan.

And Zhang Xiaobao has always stood in front, whether it is the reproach of others, or when playing, the position he stands in can always provide a certain amount of protection for Wang Juan, even when he is teaching, Wang Juan's position can always be the easiest to leave, Zhang Xiaobao's position has always been to block others from approaching Wang Juan's side.

These two little babies, amazing, like the left and right hands, one after the other, complement each other, without any deliberate movements, everything is so natural, it is a habit, so urinating is already like this, and when they grow up, who else can compare to the two of them?

"Grandpa Bi, did you find that Xiaobao's handwriting is getting better and better, Xiaobao has never given up, has been working hard, Grandpa Bi, Xiaobao's, En...... That my ...... Well, what's going on with the head of the Zhang family? ”

Wang Juan sighed in the old man's heart and said again, wanting to talk about Zhang Xiaobao's father, feeling a little disrespectful, and wanting to say that his father-in-law was embarrassed.

The old man looked at Wang Juan, who was still standing a little behind Zhang Xiaobao's side, and then looked at Zhang Xiaobao, whose body could move at any time, laughed, and said: "Juan Juan doesn't need to worry, with a daughter-in-law like you and a son like Xiaobao, how can Zhang Zhong be an ordinary person?" ”

Zhang Xiaobao was still a little dissatisfied with this answer, he had to answer in the affirmative, so he said: "Grandpa Bi, your nephew can do something else and make more money." ”

"Oh? Tell me something. "The old man came interested.

"Grandpa Bi doesn't need to worry, with an uncle like you and your nephew's intelligence, how can he be as simple as an ordinary person?" Zhang Xiaobao changed the old man's words a little and returned them.

"Hahaha~!" The old man laughed louder this time, touched Zhang Xiaobao's head, and said: "Xiaobao, your father has a son like you, who has been begging for eight lifetimes, and I have already written letters to some people, including one to the current saint, and they still have to give it to the old man." ”

Zhang Xiaobao was a little relieved, but he still replied: "Grandpa Bi, your nephew has an uncle like you, who has been begging for eight lifetimes, and my family already has a way for him to make money, don't worry, this ability is still there." ”

"Okay, then wait for your father to be promoted and enter the top three, and then your family's way to make money won't be too late." The old man found out that as long as Zhang Xiaobao talked about his father, there was no room for negotiation at all, and he had to come up with something in exchange.

"That's nature, my family has many good methods, Grandpa Bi, don't worry, there is always a reward for your efforts." Zhang Xiaobao still insisted.

"I know, your family has paid and will be rewarded, and you came here so late just to ask about this, right?" The old man thought clearly now, no wonder the two children came over, it turned out to be to ask Zhang Zhong about it.

Wang Juan immediately said: "No, Xiaobao and I came to see how big a fish Grandpa Bi could catch, and Xiaobao and I want to eat fish." ”

The old man looked at Wang Juan's appearance, looked at Xiaobao again, and said, "You know, it's fishing, I'll go back and get a net, and I'll catch two for you, let you eat, and pick the big one." ”

"Xiaobao, I'm sleepy, are you sleepy?" Wang Juan didn't follow the old man's words, yawned, and asked Zhang Xiaobao.

"I'm also sleepy, Grandpa Bi, we'll come back tomorrow, you catch the fish first, wait for someone to make it tomorrow, it's been a day, it's really sleepy." Zhang Xiaobao's goal was achieved, and he was ready to leave, facing this old man, there was no need to do anything false.

The old man also liked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's straightforward appearance, and said: "Then you go back to sleep, I'll take a look at that nature here, this clairvoyance will be inherited, and then it will be the credit of your Zhangjia Zhuangzi." ”

The old man didn't know that the two children came by himself, thinking that the people behind him asked them to come here and see the two children

Sleepy, he waved his hand and let the two children leave.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan held the old man with their interests, and now they were relieved, said goodbye to the old man and walked back.

It's late, countless lamps are lit, who is still cold at this time, and the delicacies are served on jade plates.

In Chang'an City, Zhang Zhong was drinking with the people found by Cheng County's order in the Zhuangyuan Building, he finally knew what entertainment was at this time, what was a poetry meeting, for several days in a row, he did not have a good day of rest, drinking with others all day long, chanting some poems when drinking.

I didn't know what was going on in the east, west, north and south, and I was sent back to a small inn to rest in a daze, first uncomfortable, and then I was fed a lot of things, and then I vomited, and then I fed it again, until I vomited nothing, and then I drank a little hot thing and fell asleep.

The next morning, when I got up, my head didn't hurt so much, only the stomach was uncomfortable, and someone would bring some soup immediately, and I drank the soup, and found that my stomach was not uncomfortable, and it seemed that I could continue to drink.

Just these soups, add up to five or six taels of silver, compared to inviting others to eat, it is not much, but it is really not a lot, enough for a seven-rank official to pay for a year, where to buy how much food, only in exchange for a few soups.

Today, Zhang Zhong accompanied the dinner with some waiters in the yamen, the officials are not big, and some are even in the position of helpers, but the real power is not small.

Zhang Zhong had to endure the discomfort and drink with people over and over again, it was not easy for Cheng County to find these people to eat, and he had to highlight Zhang's father at the dinner table, and he couldn't offend people.

Those who were found were also not very easy, Cheng County gave a lot of money, knew who this place was, and did not spend money on eating and drinking, plus the Zhang family's family advocated loyalty in the capital during this time, how to worry about the country and the people, how to give the recipe for planting vegetables in winter, and how many poems were written.

These add up, Zhang Zhong has been praised to the sky, plus the identity of the first in the township, it can be said that he is rich and talented, all of them are talking good things, Zhang Zhong is scholarly spirit, what he wants to say, the only good thing is that he either doesn't drink too much and doesn't offend people much when he talks, or he just drinks too much and immediately shrinks under the table, and he doesn't offend people.

"Brother Yongcheng, it's really good to be literate, it's better to go out of the east gate tomorrow and go to the mountains to have a look." A little waiter from the Ministry of Works, drank a few bowls of wine, drank happily, and said to Zhang Zhong.

"Okay, let's go out tomorrow." Zhang Zhong has become accustomed to life these days, isn't it just drinking, praising each other, and thinking about some sentences, anyway, after drinking, except for a little uncomfortable when he vomits, there is nothing at all at other times, so let's drink, sometimes I drink too much, and it seems easier to write some poems.

Erniu stood at the door, but also for his own lord uncomfortable, all the people who were found, no one can be offended, almost every day to drink, every day to vomit, sometimes even in the morning to drink, vomit in the afternoon to drink, thanks to the medicine prepared here is sufficient, to protect the lord's body is fine.

After a few days of work, Zhuangyuanlou and Proud House have been to more than ten times, and they really haven't been outside, maybe it's cold, and everyone is reluctant to go outside to play.

I also wrote a letter to Zhuangzi once, the old man is different from others, he never goes to the Qinglou, and he does not find any women to come over to play music, others want to go to that place, the master will pay for it, but he never goes himself, whenever he drinks too much and others say that he is not a man, he always says, 'Which woman can compare to my family's Qiao'er?' There are no more talented women in this world, and talented girls can't come out of Baolang. ’

When others were puzzled, he got under the table, was carried back, and after some steaming, he fell asleep, and the next day he still drank like this.

When everyone was drinking happily, the door of the room was pushed open by others, and the man whispered in the back, this person ignored it, entered the room, looked around, and said to Zhang Zhong: "Zhang Zhong, go to Wang's house immediately, the master is looking for you." ”

"Get out." Zhang Zhong is a little confused now, what is the Wang family, I don't know.

"Zhang Zhong, don't you want to take the imperial examination this time?" The man sank.

"Get out of here, who's the guy here, do you want to do it?" What Zhang Zhong was most disgusted with was the Wang family, and when he heard this person's words, he knew in a daze which family it was from.

The guy saw that the old man was angry, cold sweat flowed down his forehead, without saying a word, he grabbed the hair of the person who came, jumped up to one knee, and when the person was stunned, he walked out, and did not forget to speak to Zhang Zhong, "Master, don't worry, this is the last time, and it will not be like this in the future." ”
