Chapter 556: It is also said that poetry is mulberry hemp

When Wang Juan heard Zhang Xiaobao's words, he was not busy writing about himself, look at the sky, and he would be in charge of the lamp in a while, and Xiaobei and they would also come. [ ] (remember me dukankncom) (**:** hand-hitting)

So he put his chin on his hand and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Tell me, what did you dream about?" ”

"To dream is to dream of suddenly returning to my hometown, Sanshui County, and dreaming ......." Zhang Xiaobao was a little embarrassed.

"Is it a dream at night?" Wang Juan helped.

"Don't interrupt, I first sighed at the glory and wealth of people, and then met an acquaintance." Zhang Xiaobao continued.

"Who? Which Zhuangzi? Wang Juan asked.

Zhang Xiaobao glared at Wang Juan: "That's what it means, I'm confused when I write it, can you remember the person in your dream clearly?" ”

"Okay, you go ahead."

"Well, you broke up, old man, when you saw me coming, and brought gifts, you were very happy, you warmed the stove, and went to pick the greens, the greens in winter, kept letting me eat and drink with me.

I asked, saying if your family's life is good now, and he said that it was okay, built a new house, and went to worship his ancestors.

As for me, I saw his hands, all the cold was white, his face was red and red, it was not easy to make some money, and he gave me food when the food was valuable, I thought about ......it. ”

Zhang Xiaobao took a cup of water when he said this.

Wang Juan just took over and asked: "Is there a feeling of night rain cutting spring leeks and yellow beams in the new cooking room?" Then you drank ten cups, and you were tired in one fell swoop. ”

Zhang Xiaobao put down the cup and waved his hand: "That's not it, I'm not as stupid as Du Fu, let Wei Ba go to make leeks and cook rice." ”

"Silly? It is nothing more than using homely things to entertain friends, one is not outside, and the other is that there is that thing in one's own home, which is simple and unpretentious. ”

Wang Juan was puzzled and asked rhetorically.

"When you see that you have no life, you forget, leeks can't be cut when it rains, and the roots are rotten after cutting, and the roots of the leeks are rotten in the spring, so you don't have to work hard to replant them, and you miss the good solar terms.

The new cooking room is yellow beam, the new cooking refers to the newly built stove, you build a new stove, dare to light a fire to make yellow rice when it is raining and wet? In particular, the word "between" is a verb of stirring, there were no red bricks at that time, let's try it tomorrow, the stove is guaranteed to be a crack in a piece, you use a spoon to stir it again, and the stove will be rebuilt. ”

Zhang Xiaobao is doing the movements in Du Fu's poems.

Wang Juan suddenly said: "I remember, just thinking about the artistic conception of the poem, and forgetting the things in life for a while, how much wine did you drink?" ”

"Who knows, I just drank it, anyway, a lot, I drank it until I was confused, yes, I told him, let him cultivate mushrooms next year, that thing is easy to play, he is very happy.

Later, many people from our Zhuangzi, Ge Zhuangzi, and Li Zhuangzi came, and drank with them, and they didn't sleep until dawn. ”

Zhang Xiaobao depicts the feeling at that time.

"Oh, asleep in a dream? Go on. Wang Juan couldn't help but smile and motioned for Zhang Xiaobao to continue.

Zhang Xiaobao rubbed his face with his hands, as if he remembered: "Then I fell asleep, dreamed, flew and flew, went here for a while, went there for a while, flew to the school, in the morning, ate in the school, and made wontons, which were wontons, water chestnuts stuffed, and soup made with shark fin, abalone and lion's mane mushrooms." ”

"Let's do this in the school of the children of the two Zhuang households? Isn't it milk and eggs in the morning? ”

"Didn't you say it, dreaming, an old man suddenly appeared, praised our school, said that the food was good, I just said modestly, he said, good is good, there can be a life to end.

At that time, I was frightened, I riveted enough to calculate the mutual restraint of food, suspected that the poisonous words were in the soup, and was about to rush in and knock over the spoon or something, the old man said again, not to say them, it's somewhere else, your things are good.

This makes me hate, I think about it, people say it, ask, where? He said that Huaiyuan, Chizhou, and Mingsha are the line, and the Yellow River is a few words there.

Saying that it was snowing, it was big, and the road was impassable, and asked me if I had been an official for a long time and forgot about the people in other places, and asked my deer, dog, and eagle, why didn't they send out to support? ”

Zhang Xiaobao said the same as the real thing, Wang Juan was also fascinated by it, and asked cooperatively: "Yes, why don't you send it?" ”

"This year, there are few places where it snows in our Datang so far, and there are often closed positions, so don't use it for the time being, I asked him, are you lying to me? When I looked at the information in the capital, why didn't I find it?

He was very angry, that means he didn't lie, let me check, I'll check, the radio signal passed through layer by layer, and soon, the result over there was slow, and I found out that something was wrong.

The information that came back almost didn't make me angry, and the officials said that Chang Ping had no food, and he didn't blame them, but he wanted to complain about natural disasters, and blamed businessmen for not paying taxes well and in arrears.

Are they joking with me, you say? I believe them, I transferred troops to kill them, killed them all, raided their homes and destroyed their doors, and killed and killed, and when I turned around, the person I had just killed was alive again.

I was startled, woke up, and went back to the house of the old man I met before, depressed I shouted hard, just shouted, woke up again, and found that it was in the examination room, it was over. ”

Zhang Xiaobao spread his hands, looked at Wang Juan, and smiled first.

Wang Juan also laughed twice, nodded and said: "Okay, Xiaobao, you are amazing, what didn't happen, you write blindly, you have a dream to answer the imperial examination questions, and next time you will be real." ”

"I don't like to hear what you say, who rules that you are not allowed to dream, has Tao Yuanming done it? Has Li Bai ever done it? Oh, now not done, no chance, great poet who does not dream. ”

Zhang Xiaobao defended and looked angry.

Wang Juan touched Zhang Xiaobao's head: "Well, don't be angry, what you said is so right, great poems are dreams, great brothers still have to cook, hurry up and prepare, Xiaobei and they have arrived." ”

Sure enough, Xiaobei and Xiaoyuan came, probably because they were afraid of having to work hard to come in, and they were still wearing official uniforms, walking on their calves, looking around, and they were surprised to see anything.

"Come on, help me hold the roll down, let's eat first, Xiaoyuan, Xiaozhu, come here, eat, look at the questions after eating, and you will do it in the future."

Zhang Xiaobao said hello to the sergeant, and Wang Juan came out of the single room one after another, found an open place, and set up a stove to make hot pot.

Xiaobei and the others obviously didn't focus on eating, looking at the private room used for the exam, they thought it was very fun.

The lights in the examination room have been picked up at this moment, electric lights, bringing a new type of small steam engine, burning coal to generate electricity, and the examination room is bright.

The other candidates' meals were also delivered, and they were not allowed to come out to eat in a heap, for fear of telling each other questions, so they were still in a single room.

The restaurant that delivers the rice is atmospheric enough, learn from Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to eat at noon, a small casserole for one person, charcoal is burned below, the bottom of the pot for seafood, the cut mutton slices are placed on the plate, and more than a dozen seasonings are optional, and the cost is not small.

"Just now outside the door, we saw a candidate leaving." Xiaobei took off the bits and pieces of ornaments on her body and said.

Zhang Xiaobao said that he knew: "I basically gave up, otherwise it would not be time to eat dinner." ”

Xiaohai, who usually doesn't like to talk, will only speak when he is next to his brother and sister, and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Brother, Shuiyun has gone to the Zhuangyuan Building, we went to the lake, I heard that the eleven eagles were all out of the shell, I wanted to go up to take a look, but it was too high, and I didn't dare to climb." ”

"Well, don't climb well, the eaglet is about the same as a chick when it comes out of the shell, and when you go back to Sanshui, you can see it, pick one you like."

Zhang Xiaobao touched Xiaohai's head, and everyone started eating.

While eating, Wang Juan found that Zhang Xiaobao was absent-minded, sandwiched an oyster, cooked it and put it on Zhang Xiaobao's plate, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

"Lingzhou." The spirit that Zhang Xiaobao said is the big state of Huaiyuan, Quiet and other places he wrote, including the above small places.

"You write nonsense, do you really take it to heart?" Wang Juan was helpless.

"You say, why do I think about Lingzhou, our family's business is not in Lingzhou, in Fengzhou, and the family fleet only passed through Lingzhou when they took the Yellow River water transport."

Zhang Xiaobao conducted an analysis of his own mental activity.

Wang Juan scooped a small piece of tofu with a spoon and put it in the pot to soak, and said: "Because it is indeed snowing in Lingzhou, the intelligence of the day before yesterday estimated that the Yellow River will freeze earlier than before, but there is no situation where the officials in your dream are inactive." ”

Zhang Xiaobao looked at his younger brothers and sisters who were eating well, frowned and said: "It's better to prepare in advance, this year's action is big, and the powerful businessmen are all running to the **, I'm worried that something will really happen, and I can't respond in time."

Taking advantage of the fact that the Yellow River is not sealed, it is necessary to carry out daily necessities, tilt to a place in the northwest, first reserve it, red deer, dog sledding, falcon, make arrangements, and immediately enter the state in case of emergencies. ”

"Listen to you, after eating, eat first." Wang Juan also agreed with Zhang Xiaobao's proposal, not being affected by the disaster, but losing a part of the profits, which is better than the disaster becoming a dead person.

Wang Juan prefers the current means of transportation, especially sled dogs, after the scale, the transportation capacity is scary, stronger than the car.

Xiaobei nine people listened while eating, but did not interject, this is the process of learning.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did it deliberately.

"In my Datang, human life is always more important than money, even if we believe that all parties can respond quickly enough, we should not take it lightly, and when we enjoy the good things in life, we must respect life like us."

Zhang Xiaobao said when he picked up the paper in the specially made paper drawer and wiped Xiaobei's mouth with a painted cat.

Xiaobei waited for his brother to finish wiping it, and asked, "Does ** person count?" ”

"Huh? **…… Not my race...... Well...... The whip can't reach it. Zhang Xiaobao pondered the language and replied.

"I understand, in fact, I love everyone, but sometimes ** people don't trust me, for which I express great regret." Xiaobei said it very simply.

Wang Juan chuckled lightly and rubbed Xiaobei's head: "It's so smart, your brother's education is going to be successful." ”

By the time Zhang Xiaobao finished his dinner, the other candidates had already eaten and stayed in a single room to drink the tea prepared by the restaurant.

Someone sent a new bedding, and when the test was over, the bedding belonged to the examinee himself, and no one cared about taking it away or throwing it away.

Xiaobei's nine little guys looked at the questions together, all the fill-in-the-blank questions that needed to be memorized were not a problem for Xiaoyuan, all the math problems, and Xiaohai was responsible, as for the other problems, Xiaobei and the seven people thought hard.

In the end, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came to a conclusion that their younger brothers and sisters participated in the imperial examination, but they could not pass the examination for the time being, and they were stuck in the first hurdle of the strategy, and it was Xiaoyuan and Xiaohai who really showed their ability to the imperial examination.

"Looks like we have to wait." Zhang Xiaobao concluded.

Xiaobei was very distressed, she found that she was not particularly smart, and she looked at the current affairs one after another, and she couldn't start.

She would rather let her run a county, and all the officials obey her, she can follow the various models summarized by her family, and with her own strong financial strength, she is confident that she can govern a county well.

But when she faced the exam questions, there were still words in them that she didn't recognize, and she couldn't say why.

Hiding behind the other children, Xiaobei lowered her head, pursed her mouth tightly, and gambled with herself.

"Xiaobei, what fun do you want?" Wang Juan saw that Xiaobei, who was usually active, was gone, and pulled out from behind others and asked.

Xiaobei puffed out her cheeks and said sullenly: "I'm the stupidest, the big man and the little man know more words than me, messy questions, how do I know how to build a road, where to repair?"

Why fix me to know is to make it easier to walk. ”

Wang Juan looked at Zhang Xiaobao and gestured with his eyes.

That means, look, you let them come, now it's okay, hit the kids, right?

Zhang Xiaobao regretted a little, he has been letting his younger brothers and sisters develop a kind of confidence that is not afraid of difficulties, the world is big, and who else can I be.

Therefore, the things arranged for his younger brothers and sisters are all things that they can do after their efforts, and when Li Longji sent Xiaobei to Hongnong, he was worried.

It's just that the younger brothers and sisters are doing very well, and they and Wang Juan are more pleased.

"This, Xiaobei, come here, come to my brother's side, don't be afraid of difficulties when we encounter difficulties, right?" Zhang Xiaobao hugged his sister over and said to her.

"That's right." Xiaobei has not yet recovered his spirits: "Let me do things, I'm not afraid, give me a county, I'll take care of it, I let the people plant things, the planting is poor, there is no yield, I'm not afraid."

I could compensate them, and then I remembered that the same environment could not be planted again, and I spent my own money to buy lessons. ”

Xiaobei hugged his brother's neck and said what he thought, and suddenly pouted again: "But what is this, I don't understand what to ask, build roads and roads, spend money, and ask why, how to spend it." ”

"That's right, what our Xiaobei said is right, do you remember our family's ranch in Fengzhou?" Zhang Xiaobao felt that the pressure he was under at the moment was unprecedented.

He won't stupidly tell his sister about the detailed road repair, otherwise, even if his sister memorizes it, it's useless, it's a mode of thinking.

So what he has to do is to make his sister forget about the current affairs for a while, relax, regain her due agility, and guide her according to her intelligence and experience, with words that she can understand.

Wang Juan watched from the side, and the other eight children were also listening to their brother.

Xiaobei heard her brother ask, her eyes rolled, she suddenly smiled, and said: "I know, I know, I also went to catch the Turkic people together, what is it called Qinlai, King Zuoxian."

When I came back, I went to Toyozhou, and our dog pulled a sled, and I couldn't see the edge at a glance, and I scared him silly at that time, hehe. ”

"Ah, our Xiaobei is so amazing, my brother almost forgot, you still have to ride a dog, the dog will run away when he sees you." Zhang Xiaobao cooperated with the book with a look of surprise.

"Bad dog." Becky gives a definition to the dog.

"Then we saw the river, the Yellow River, do you still have an impression?" Zhang Xiaobao asked.

Xiaobei looked up at the sky and thought: "You know, in winter, I didn't see the slender man who pulled the fiber, when will I go again?" ”

"Wait until next spring, and when it's thawed, I'll take a boat, okay?" Zhang Xiaobao drew a rowing action.

"Okay, pull hook." Becky stuck out her little finger.

Zhang Xiaobao also stretched out one, and the two of them reached an agreement.

Wang Juan listened in wonder, wanting to see how Zhang Xiaobao solved the problem.

Zhang Xiaobao continued: "When the water at the turn of the place just came, it was more turbulent, and it was difficult to pull the fiber, there was a businessman, rich, and his own fleet of ships, so he wrote to me, which day came, the day before yesterday? Was it the day before yesterday? ”

Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan as he spoke, and Wang Juan understood: "The night before yesterday, the businessman asked you to give a review, whether his method is good." ”

"Yes, the night before yesterday, he said that I should buy some gunpowder and blow it up all the way along the road that the slender man walked, isn't it so wide." Zhang Xiaobao made a distance of more than one meter wide with his two hands.

"He said that he would blow it up to three so wide, and blow up the place where the slender man usually climbs, so that the horse-drawn fiber is used to make the horse fast, and the horse is still strong, I wondered, he is ......."

"Silly, right?" Xiaobei finally let her brother lead the topic and interjected.

Zhang Xiaobao thought about it: "I also think something is almost something, something is wrong." ”

"Don't you have to think about it, that road can't be blown in by the side at all, there is no place next to it, there is a mountain on one side, he blew up the road so wide below, and the soil on it fell.

Then he paid for the stones that had fallen and replanted the trees, otherwise the hillside on the other side would be bald, and when it rained, the mud and stones would roll down.

The tree is planted, and he promises to live? Delayed time, others don't boat, waiting for him? ”

Little Becky let go of her brother's neck and waved her hands into small fists.

"Yes, it's still our Xiaobei who is amazing, I turned around and scolded him, telling him that it can't work, and let's still pull the fiber according to the original, what road to build." Zhang Xiaobao affirmed his sister's words.

Xiaobei clenched his fists and thought about it, and said, "If he wants to take the freight from Fengzhou Yunlingzhou, he is really willing to spend a lot of money." He might as well do this, blow up the cave, build it with cement, and go directly to the freight by land. ”

"That's right, or our Xiaobei is amazing, who said that you can't answer the current policy? I estimate that other candidates, when they encounter the same problem, are not as good as our Xiaobei. ”

Zhang Xiaobao followed his sister's example and waved his fist.

Xiaobei regained his former look: "Hmph, the questions asked in the imperial examination are not specific enough, and I don't know who made the questions, so we can't generalize, we need to analyze specific problems." ”

"Well, I also protested against this, so I decided not to answer the question of current affairs and asked nonsense." Zhang Xiaobao was indignant.

"It is estimated that he has never been in the local area, does not understand the people's feelings, and lacks a foundation." Xiaobei commented, as if she had achieved a lot in the local area.

Zhang Xiaobao will not correct his sister's mistakes, he just achieves his goal.

"Xiaobei, it's late, go back first, tomorrow afternoon, let's go to the lake together and see Shuiyun's family." Zhang Xiaobao gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Later, he sent away nine younger brothers and sisters who had great opinions on current affairs in the Tang imperial examination, and Zhang Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiaobao, amazing." Wang Juan smiled and praised Zhang Xiaobao.

"I didn't expect you to be able to use such a method, how do you know that Xiaobei will definitely be able to answer." Wang Juan was curious about this.

"I usually observe more, I personally met Xiaobei three times when he was mentioned to arrest the Turkic Zuoxian King, so Xiaobei will have a deep impression of there, plus she has been thinking about the problem of building a road just now, even if she temporarily diverts her attention, her subconscious is still more active in this problem.

And Xiaobei's character is that you let her make a comprehensive plan by herself, she can't make it well, but she can always find fault in other people's plans.

Come back and take the train, you and I have told them more than once to blow up the cave and let the train pass.

Children are a little different from adults, they can always think about things for a long time, their minds jump, but for them, they either forget or think of things that happened a long time ago as yesterday or just happened. ”

Zhang Xiaobao explained to Wang Juan.

"So you're sure she'll cooperate?"

"I'm not sure, I'm also gambling, it's a big deal that she didn't respond to the topic just now, then I think about another topic, I won't scold her, saying, 'You're stupid, you want to be beaten, you can't answer such a simple question, what do you think about all day'.

I would say to the adults who educate their children like this, 'You are stupid, you are so cute, you can't teach such a smart child, you have water in your head?' Even a child can be taught, what else can you do? ’”

Zhang Xiaobao once again put the responsibility for the child's poor learning on the adult, and despised it.

Wang Juan shook his head: "You, it's always different from what normal people think, I'll go back and continue to write, and you will also write Fu?" ”

"Don't write, I'll go back and think about the problem of opening a cave that Xiaobei said, find someone to look at the geographical environment, and if it is feasible, open one."

Zhang Xiaobao pointed in the direction of Lingzhou.

"You take it seriously, Xiaobei's words have a lot of loopholes."

"Why don't I take it seriously, you can find someone to correct the mistakes, what the child says may not be wrong, in China, if a child says that he will find a way to fly, put a pair of wings, jump off the cliff, adults usually have to stop his thoughts.

Outside, adults encouraged them even if they didn't think it was feasible, so the first foreigner to fly with an artificial glider appeared, and the first airplane appeared in a foreign country.

We didn't limit our younger siblings, so the first doll that could grow it on its own appeared. ”

"Okay, you want yours, I'll write mine." Wang Juan didn't care what Zhang Xiaobao did.

"Okay, I'll mix the cloth and food first."
