Chapter 18: The Joy of Housewarming
Time flies, like a white horse passing through a gap, suddenly!
More than five years later, due to the death of Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youzhu three years ago, during the national funeral, the imperial examination had to be postponed for three years, so the examination time was changed to this year. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In ancient times, filial piety came first, and Enke was not like some people said that as soon as the emperor died, he would immediately open Enke, in that case, the emperor who ascended the throne was afraid that the throne would be unstable.
The sun had just risen in the east, and in Tang County, there was a faint sound of weaving cloth and Lang Lang's reading in an ordinary poor house in the east corner.
The house looks very old, in the middle of the house is a hall house, the two sides of the hall house are divided into two wings, east and west, the mossy tiles on the roof are a little incomplete, a persimmon branch in the yard stretches on the tile, a red persimmon on the branch seems to be ripe, 'pop' fell on the tile and slid down the sloping roof.
"Yo yo deer chirping, apple of the wild food. I have guests, drummers and shengs. ”
"Ah......h
A thirteen-year-old boy, dressed in a white coarse cloth collared coat, with a wolf tooth hanging on his chest, gentle and elegant, with a square scarf on his head, wheat-colored skin, and a pair of eyes as bright as cold stars under his sword eyebrows.
Suddenly, he felt that his head was hit by something, the young man stretched out his right hand and rubbed his head, looked down at the persimmon that had fallen on his head from the floor first, and then fell on the ground, rolled his eyes, put a copy of the Book of Songs in his left hand beside him, stood up, and looked at the persimmon tree.
The trunk of the persimmon tree is thick and large, the leaves are spreading, green to brown, glabrous, scattered longitudinal rows of oblong or narrow oblong pores, and on the branches covered with green leaves, most of the persimmons hanging have become red, only a few are still slightly green.
Looking at the red persimmons, the young man in white couldn't help swallowing his saliva, turned his head and shouted to the house: "Mother, the persimmons are ripe, you can pick them." ”
"What? When the persimmons are ripe, I'll pick them. There was no woman's voice coming from the room, but a simple voice of excitement.
"Hehe, this is really hard for you to come, you can climb trees faster than monkeys." The young man in white touched the wolf teeth on his chest and laughed.
As soon as the words fell, a twelve-year-old boy, with slightly dark skin, a long leopard head and ringed eyes, yawned while wearing a gray gown, and walked out of the west wing, still looking sleepy-eyed.
As soon as the gray-clothed young man walked out of the house, a woman in her early thirties, dressed in a blue-green Luo skirt, with ruddy cheeks, and an ordinary appearance, walked from the hall to the door and said, "You are an elder brother, how can you let your younger brother climb a tree, how dangerous it is for a persimmon tree to climb so high." ”
"Mother, it's okay, it's just a piece of cake for the child." The gray-clothed young man disagreed, smiled faintly, and walked to the persimmon tree that was thick as a person, helped the tree with his hand, and climbed up with his feet.
The young man in white saw that the young man in gray was climbing up, walked into the house, picked up a basket on the log table, and ran out.
"Brother, if you pick one, throw it in the basket and drop one on the ground, and you will be punished for beating your mother's back for an hour." The young man in white looked up at the young man in gray who had climbed to the top of the tree, and said with a mysterious smile.
The gray-clothed young man crouched on the tree, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he picked a persimmon, but he just threw it away, and it just happened to fall into the basket.
"Brother, how about it, throw it accurately." The gray-clothed young man smiled smugly and said to the white-clothed young man under the tree.
The young man in white smiled faintly and said, "Don't be complacent, I just threw a persimmon, and there are still many persimmons on the tree." ”
Who is this family, you must have seen that this is the Lewen family more than five years later.
Today, the family moved to Tang County in the spring today, but the house is rented, because of the good handwriting, Le Father found a job in a large family to copy and write, the income is very meager, and he has to rely on his mother to weave cloth to supplement the family.
It's summer now, and I'm going to take the hospital exam in another month, and if I pass the college exam, I'm a student, which is commonly known as Xiucai.
The brothers passed the county exam as early as February and the government exam in April, and they are already two children.
Lewen gets up early every day to read, and Long Chao also works hard, because he read last night and slept too late, so he got up late.
Long Chao accurately threw the persimmons into the basket while picking persimmons, and after a while, the persimmons in the basket were almost full.
"Long Chao, throw one more and come down, if you pick too much, you won't be able to finish it, and it will be bad." Lewen looked at the red persimmons in the basket, looked up and shouted to Long Chao.
"Brother Wen, okay ......" said and picked another one, and threw it down, but because the persimmons in the basket were almost full, the last persimmon fell into the basket and jumped out by itself.
Long Chao saw the persimmon that fell on the ground, and said with a smile: "Haha...... Brother Wen, how can this be calculated. ”
Le Wen waved his hand and said: "Come down quickly, I will beat my mother's back with you, my mother weaves cloth every day, we can't help anything, we can only rely on studying hard and helping my mother beat my back to honor my mother." ”
Because Le's mother weaves cloth from morning to night every day, her body is also tired of some chronic diseases, and Le Wen and Long Chao give their mother a back massage every day, which will relieve some relief.
Wang thought that Xianggong had not eaten breakfast yet, so he looked at the red persimmons in the basket and instructed the two brothers: "You two brothers bring a few persimmons to your father, and in the morning your father will go to set up a stall before he eats." ”
Le Wen and Long Chao said in unison: "Okay, mother." As soon as he finished speaking, the two brothers took a few persimmons and went to the market.
"Selling sugar gourds...... Sour and sweet sugar gourd ......"
"Selling pancakes...... Fragrant and large baked cakes...... Let's take a look......"
The market is still as lively as usual, and the bustling crowd is interspersed back and forth in the market.
As soon as Lewen and the others arrived at the market, they saw a familiar figure, and hurriedly ran back and shouted, "Little genius, why are you here." ”
The familiar figure is a, a handsome young man in a brocade robe, a handsome young man was buying sugar gourds on the side of the road, and heard someone shouting his nickname.
When I looked back, I found that it was Lewen, and excitedly threw away the sugar gourd I had just bought in my hand, ran to Lewen and shouted: "I heard that your family moved to the city, but I don't know where you live. ”
Lewen stretched out his fist, and the fists of the two hit again, laughing.
"Brother Wen, it's this kid again......" Long Chao said a little displeased when he saw Zheng Liangcai.
"What, you can't beat someone again?" Zheng Liangcai pinched his waist with both hands and asked.
Long Chaohu stared at Zheng Liangcai with round eyes and said, "How can you ...... hit you?"
Le Wen saw that Long Chao wanted to hit someone again, and hurriedly stopped: "Long Chao, why are you still so impulsive, you will be angry when you say that it is hot, Zheng Liang and I are good friends, good classmates, if you are difficult for him, you will not be able to get along with your brother." ”
When Long Chao heard Le Wen say this, he was unhappy in his heart and said, "What are you doing to hit him, can he take a punch from me?" ”
Le Wen was about to speak, Zheng Liangcai laughed and said: "Some time ago, my father invited a martial arts master, and now I am trying to find someone to practice twice." ”
Le Wen touched the wolf teeth on his chest, rolled his eyes, and said in his heart: "Zheng Liangcai, this guy seems to have itchy skin." ”
