Chapter 69: Joy and Sorrow
The first result came out, and it was two heavens of ice and fire for the Xia family. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's all because of Xia Yuanjie's crow's mouth, which he unfortunately said, because of the stinky number in the first exam, he was the same as the county exam, and he didn't pass the first exam.
Xia Yuanding, who did not fully exert his strength during the exam, actually passed very smoothly, which made Xia Shouren impressed, the moment he learned the results, Xia Yuanding's weight in his mind increased greatly, and he expected to go back to a good conversation, a family of four children was born, such a brilliant achievement is rare in the entire Sanhe County.
"Okay, don't be depressed Yuan Jie, you've done a lot better, don't affect your mood next!"
"Got it, uncle!"
Looking at his cousin's red and swollen eyes and the tears that flowed, Xia Yuanding seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, and when he passed through and the brother he was side by side did not pass, his heart was also sad.
Can you think of a way to make Yuan Jie smooth in the next exam, Xia Yuanding doesn't have this kind of ability, although he himself seems to have been smooth sailing along the way, but only he understands that he came over with a bump.
After a few days of suffering, a difficult news that had to be faced was that in the end, Yuan Jie did not pass the government exam. Originally, the two brothers were going to try together, but in the end, they were happy and worried.
As soon as this matter was over, Xia Shouren took people to the Zhulin Temple near Fucheng to repay his vows, ask for peace and good luck!
After being stretched for so long, it's time to relax.
This Zhulin Temple should be a Buddhist temple, Xia Yuanding guessed in his heart. When he arrived at the place and looked at many bald heads, Xia Yuanding knew that he had not guessed wrong, which made him a little suspicious, is he not alone in this world!
If there is a chance, Xia Yuanding must discuss Buddhism with these monks, and no matter how bad it is, he must take a good look at the basic Buddhist scriptures, whether there is also meat to feed the eagle.
"Uncle, what are you looking at?"
"There is a fortune teller, it seems that I saw it in Fucheng a few days ago, and the uncle went over to see if it was this person!"
"Uncle, how can a scholar believe what a fortune teller says?" Xia Yuanding saw that he was about to meet the old man again, and said loudly, this voice is enough for people from far away to hear.
"Yuan Ding, you don't know, the uncle couldn't pass the hospital exam several times, I thought it was just my lack of knowledge, but after the guidance of the fortune teller, I suddenly realized, it turned out that the number of lives has been suppressed, and this year I went to this fate!"
As he spoke, the strange man in the uncle's mouth had long since gone away.
"Uncle, the masters of the world have come and gone without a trace, he doesn't want to see you, you better not be reluctant."
Hearing this, Xia Shouren finally gave up looking for it, since he was here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, he had to be distracted, don't think about those skills.
Of these three people, only Xia Yuanding can be consistent, and he will not change his original intention and hold the original purpose.
"Zhulin Temple asks for a pair of couplets from the mountain gate, and a reward of ten taels of silver!"
After walking a few steps, I heard someone talking in front of me, and looking at a group of people gathered not far away, someone whispered that it was probably these things that were being discussed.
"Uncle, someone asked for a couplet of ten taels of silver?" Xia Yuanjie repeated what he heard, but he was still a little skeptical.
Normally, ten taels is not a small amount, especially in the eyes of these small families, this is a huge amount of money.
"Ten taels!"
Xia Yuanding silently repeated this number in his heart, thinking that the temple was the most generous, not to mention that they all had private property, but it would be clear if he looked at the merit tablet. Some Li Dashan donated 100 taels of silver, and some Zhang Dashan donated 10,000 taels of silver, don't say that some robbers like to rob temples, people are not stupid, who does not buy and sell oil and water.
"It's really vulgar, how can the elegant things of literati be measured by money, let's go and see elsewhere!" Uncle doesn't bother to participate in such a thing at all.
Xia Yuanding thought to himself, what is elegant and what is vulgar, in Fucheng these days, he has heard that literati are becoming prostitutes, how can there be any style, and he still talks about it.
"Uncle, my nephew wants to go and study, go and see it first!"
"Yuan Ding you~~~"
Xia Shouren wanted to stop it, but he didn't stop it, so he had to take Yuan Jie to follow, didn't all the actions be arranged by him, why did he let this nephew lead the nose away.
"Look, the little monk is out, let's hurry up and ask if it's true!"
A young monk dressed as a monk walked out of the Bamboo Forest Temple and came to the outside of the mountain gate. Xia Yuanding looked at him with small eyes, and felt that such a person was a little unreliable. Of course, he himself has to admit that he is a little bit judged by his appearance, which Xia Yuanding does not deny.
"Hey, what you wrote in black and white, is it true that you ask for a couplet in ten taels, but don't we come out when the time comes, and you will be in debt again?"
"What did this donor say, just ten taels of silver, we won't lose our credit!"
As soon as he heard this, Xia Yuanding was angry in his heart, just ten taels of silver, could it be that the huge amount of ten taels of silver was just a drizzle in their eyes!
As soon as he thought of this, Xia Yuanding strengthened his determination even more, no, he had to catch this drizzle, and it was a waste to lose a drop.
"Stop grinding, hurry up and write couplets!"
Hiding behind the crowd, Xia Yuanding shouted strangely.
"Yes, yes, think about it, it matters how to write a pair!"
"What about the bookcase, what about the pen and ink, wouldn't you have prepared for this?"
"Donors, please come with me to the courtyard!"
The little monk led everyone to a secluded courtyard, the courtyard was wide, and there was a hundred-year-old tree in the middle of the courtyard, with scattered branches and leaves, as for what it was called, Xia Yuanding really didn't know.
"Everyone, please take a seat, and when you think of the couplet, you can write it on the white paper on the desk, and attach your name at the end!"
There are two neat rows of long cases in the courtyard, and the white paper is neatly paved, and the scholars here are better than Xia Yuanding, but such a good thing, it is a pity that he didn't use it!
looked at the literati, and took their seats one by one, Xia Yuanding did not delay, and chose a nearby seat to sit down.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that his ass got into trouble as soon as he was put on the stool, and someone next to him didn't like it.
"What are you doll making fun, what about your family, whose family is still there, and you won't take it away!"
"Yo-he!" Xia Yuanding thought to himself, when he grew so big, he finally met someone who looked down on him, and he was actually called a doll by people contemptuously, so he didn't take him seriously.
"You can sit, why can't I?" Xia Yuanding This is a rhetorical question, but it is also a cross-examination.
What he also meant was, is it just you who can write couplets?
"At a young age, I don't want to learn, I learned a pair of sharp teeth, and today I will let you see the power of readers!"
Xia Yuanding, who is not powerful, doesn't know, Xia Yuanding thought to himself, what does it have to do with me if you are powerful or not, I don't know you, even if you are powerful, do you have the face to compare with a child?
Xia Yuanding knew that she was already invincible, so she could keep her light and light.
When Xia Yuanding was trying to think about how to dedicate a good couplet, the literati next to him who despised him had already written the couplet, and deliberately blew the ink.
Showing off, the more he saw the other party jumping so much, Xia Yuanding's mood was better, because all the demonstrations were ridiculous performances.
This time, Xia Yuanding also decided to put aside his discipline for the time being, even if he had another chance in the future, he would not bully these big and small scholars like this, because he was a person who stood on the shoulders of giants and watched the entire era.
"The plum shadow is taoguang, the bamboo forest is revealed, try to ask where to find it;"
On the white paper, Xia Yuanding waved the upper link, and then nodded with satisfaction with his words, and then the next link came out.
"The reopening of the spiritual land and the reopening of Fanyu all depend on the prosperity of the country."
After writing it, he signed his name, Xia Yuanding thought to himself, if this could still be taken away from the first place, Xia Yuanding had nothing to say, he could only say that the literati in their house really didn't blow it.
