Chapter 19: Bone Qingqi
There was a heavy rain at night, the air was exceptionally fresh, and the morning sun was warm and warm.
The fisherman has bare oily and slippery muscles, and the fresh fish tied up with a straw rope on his cheeks: "The fresh fish just brought from the Qi River is alive!" The grass carp is fat, the carp is tender, and the steamed mandarin fish fairy is unstable! ”
The owner of the Lu family's butcher shop was dark and fat, his small coat was open to reveal the black hair on his chest, and he danced the boning knife with both hands like a windmill, looking fierce and vicious, but people knew that in fact, Boss Lu was very good at talking, and he bought meat here, and the weighing rod was full of ten, and he always gave some bones to regular customers and went into the water.
Zhang Dalang, who grows a vegetable garden in the west of the city, carries the burden, the cucumbers are bright, the green vegetables, the green leeks, and the dew in the morning.
At the foot of Qilin Mountain in the north of Qizhou, there is a continuous piece of splendid palace, in the east city there are the flower willow lanes and orchestra buildings that sing and dance, and in the west city, there are the deep mansions of rich businessmen and magnates.
In the early years of Wanli, although it is not counted as the great rule of the world, it can be called the promotion of the whole country, and people live a good life.
The only thing that makes the big guy strange is that the son of the butcher shop boss Lu, the disciple of the divine doctor who is proud of Lao Lu and hangs on his lips all day long, why is his brow furrowed into a ball and can't be stretched on his chubby little round face?
Lu Yuanzhi, who went to Chawan Village with Qin Lin to drink Niu Dalixi, the new head of the Zhizhou Yamen Zhuang Class, looked at his friends with some concern:
No matter when Qin Lin was confident, he gave people great confidence, but since he entered that bookstore, he has been silent until now, and the disappointment and frustration he revealed made the cheerful and optimistic Lu Yuanzhi become depressed.
"Could it be that there is a ghost in that bookstore, and Brother Qin has bumped into an evil spirit?" Lu Yuanzhi blinked his small eyes.
Qin Lin let out a long sigh, his sword eyebrows furrowed.
It is a common thing in this era for rich and noble families to buy a few concubines by their side before marrying a wife. This kind of concubine has a very low status, and in the future, the wife will be bullied even more after she enters the school, and she is not far from the slave maid, if it is not so poor that there is really no way out, even the people of small families are unwilling to push their daughters into the fire pit.
Although Li Jianzhong is from a bleak background, he is also the magistrate of the seventh grade, not to mention that with Li Shizhen's love for his granddaughter, Qingdai will marry someone to be a wife in the future no matter what.
Huang Lianzu dared to ask Qingdai to be his concubine, which was a great insult, Li Shizhen was so angry that he trembled, and he turned his face with him on the spot, serving tea and chasing away guests.
Yesterday, when Qin Lin and the others returned to the medical hall, Huang Lianzu had already left in embarrassment, otherwise Qin Lin really wanted to teach this guy a lesson.
Originally, with Qin Lin's thoughts, since Li Shizhen categorically rejected Huang Lianzu's request, the Li family is a well-known Jinghu miracle doctor, and Qingdai's father Li Jianzhong is also the county governor of Pengxi, Sichuan, is it possible that Huang Lianzu still dares to openly rob relatives?
The worries of the brothers and sisters in the medical hall completely subverted Qin Lin's opinion: forced by the Confucian Qing Dynasty and the constraints of the national law, Huang Lianzu did not dare to openly rob the people's daughters, but he had bad water in his stomach, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no demon moths to embarrass the Li Medical Hall in the future.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, Huang Lianzu has the identity of the general banner of Jinyiwei, and the sister of King Jing's side concubine supports him, what else can't be done? In the future, most of the troubles in the medical center will follow.
Qin Lin was furious when he heard this, he knew that the government of this era was extremely powerful, the so-called "the county that broke the family, and the Ling Yin (prefect) who destroyed the door", ordinary people would never dare to fight against the government, so he gave money to fund Niu Dali to be the head of the people's strong team - he has the grace of life for the mother of the cow, and if he does something in Qizhou City in the future, Niu Dali will provide convenience.
But the third class of officials can at most be able to suppress the land and settle down, and it will be useless to meet a hakama like Huang Lianzu, and a strong slap on the martial arts bull can slap him half to death, but people are wearing flying fish suits with the general banner of Jinyi Wei, which people dare to beat the Son of Heaven's army? Charges of rebellion and rebellion!
If you want to cure Huang Lianzu, you have to come from the official plane...... Qin Lin is more and more eager to be an official, in this era, only by being an official and a big official can he have dignity and personality, and can he protect the people around him.
The best way for the Ming Dynasty to enter the official career is, of course, the imperial examination. Cold window hard reading, three characters by the disciple rules enlightenment, four books and five classics to start, the test Xiucai into the state school, the township test to raise people, will try to test the tribute, the palace test to take the jinshi, a time to become a jinshi is the fish leaping dragon gate, three years of Ji Shi scattered hall, the inside is a point Hanlin, the outside is to the matter, the imperial history, three turns to stay in the dynasty is the size of the Jiuqing, the straight hall bachelor, the outside is the political envoy, the governor, the governor, it is really the way to the sky.
Since it is a golden avenue, of course Qin Lin wants to fight its idea, when the ruling Jiangling Zhang Juzheng, don't say that there are only thousands of Jinyi Wei and Jing Wang side concubines, even if Jinyi Wei is the commander and the vassal kings everywhere, as long as they see his old man, they don't even dare to let go of a fart, what a majesty, what authority!
I never thought of finding a bookstore to read the small records of the Bingzi Imperial Examination and Jinshi (cat note: it is a selection of excellent essays~), Qin Lindeng's heart was half cold; Not to mention the dignified beauty of calligraphy, that is, the legal structure of the article, the essence of the allusions used, and the strictness of the momentum, I am afraid that future generations of Chinese professors may not be able to catch up!
As for Qin Lin himself, he didn't even know a lot of rare words......
There is no way, the students of later generations will have to learn more than a dozen homework, physical exercise, play games and surf the Internet...... The scholars of the eight-strand era are like hanging beams and thorns for ten years, and the two can be said to be not on the same starting line at all. No matter how rigid and shackles the Baguwen was evaluated by later generations, it has to be admitted that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty did write this style very beautifully and it was difficult to surpass.
Mud horses, for Mao many through the predecessors can rely on a few words of poetry in later generations to be invincible, Tanhua, champion, even the middle three yuan can be made, to Lao Tzu here I don't even know rare words, and there is a wood of heaven!
Qin Lin really wanted to point at the sun and scold the thief, so he poked out half of his fingers, remembering that at this time, God couldn't scold him, and he couldn't be caught by the government as Huang Chao and Song Jiang, so he had to take it back stupidly.
Lu Yuanzhi beside him had been observing Qin Lin's expression, and when he saw that his expression was uncertain, he was also sweating, and suddenly the little fat man grinned, and said loudly: "Tofu Shih, Brother Qin, the tofu Shih Tzu they said is in front, haven't you asked, look, under the apricot yellow banner." ”
A few days ago, the brothers jokingly mentioned the tofu Shih Tzu in Qizhou, Qin Lin asked curiously, and everyone told him with a smile on his face that this tofu Shih Tzu had the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, which aroused his curiosity and wanted to come to see it.
But with Lu Yuanzhi's fingers, where is there any tofu Shih Tzu? Only an old woman with goosebumps sat behind a tofu stand, and the wrinkles on her face could be used as a washboard.
Qin Lin was stunned, his eyes widened and the boss searched around, but naturally he found nothing, and only after a while did he smile bitterly: "I didn't see any tofu Shih Tzu...... Could it be that you are talking about the old woman? It's too much. ”
Lu Yuanzhi covered his stomach with a smile, and the fat on his small round face rippled happily: "That's right, fifty years ago, she was called Tofu Shih Tzu, and at that time, it was indeed a shame to sink fish and geese." The old beard who baked medicine in the backyard of our hospital liked her for fifty years! ”
Qin Lin couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and only after half a ring did he hear Lu Yuanzhi say that Tofu Xi Shi's life experience was nothing more than being widowed as soon as she entered the door, keeping festivals and working hard, etc., what is admirable is that she relied on a small tofu stall to send the four old people of her mother's family and her mother-in-law's family to the end, and the strength of her ambition is also commendable.
If it was true that 50 years ago she was called Tofu Shih Tzu, then 50 years later it is a good-natured joke for young people, and for old people it is a memory of the good things of the past.
Qin Lin's heart suddenly moved: As the saying goes, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, Tofu Shih Tzu has to keep the festival for her husband, and she has to show up because of the livelihood of the four old people in the family.
Whew~ Qin Lin looked up to the sky and spit out a breath of turbidity in his chest, and said to Lu Yuanzhi with a smile: "Go faster, how about we compare our feet?" ”
Lu Yuanzhi smiled, he saw a certain momentum on his friend's face, Qin Lin glowed with a new atmosphere from head to toe, as if no difficulties and obstacles could stop him from achieving his goal.
………
The White Lotus Sect was strongly suppressed by the imperial court, Jinghu was restored to calm, and there were no checkpoints at the city gate.
The weather was hot, and when he saw a small tea shed on the side of the road, the two of them sat down to drink a bowl of herbal tea, Qin Lin still had a lot of money on hand, and this tea shed also sold boiled eggs and baked cakes, so he bought some for a few pennies and ate them with Lu Yuanzhi.
After walking a long way, the two of them were hungry, and asked passers-by that there were still three miles away from Chawan Village, and to see that the time was still a while before the noon banquet, so they sat down to eat something to cushion their stomachs.
Herbal tea is very ordinary, but boiled eggs are extremely delicious, peeling off the umami wafts with the wind, and it is really salty and delicious when you taste it.
"Little donor, ask for an inquiry," a loud voice sounded behind the two of them.
Looking back, he was an extremely tall yellow-crowned Taoist priest, with a white beard and silver hair, two sword eyebrows that were not angry and self-threatening, his eyes were blazing, his nose was straight, and his face was wide and square.
It's a pity that although this person's facial features are well-born, the position is not quite right, the two eyes seem to be too close, the eyebrows seem to be too separated, and there is nothing wrong with the mouth, but the mouth is crab-yellow with big teeth...... In short, the image of Lu Dongbin's reincarnation and Zhang Daoling's descent was a little funny because of this destruction.
There were two Taoist priests in their twenties behind him, one in green and the other in yellow, and their clothes were cleanly washed, but if you look closely, you can find a lot of tatters, of course, they are all carefully sewn up.
Seeing that Qin Lin and Lu Yuanzhi looked surprised, the old Taoist priest at the head smiled: "Amitayus Buddha! The two donors are skeletal Qingqi ......"
