In the sixteenth year of Mingshenzong Wanli, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the door of the Hangzhou Mansion Gongyuan, which had been closed for a day, was finally opened. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info today is the last day of the Zhejiang Township Examination of Wuzike, after several days of intense exams, the candidates slowly walked out of the gate of the Gongyuan. Some people have confident smiles on their faces, some do have solemn faces, as if they are reminiscing about the bits and pieces in the examination room, and some start crying quietly as soon as they go out, presumably because they did not perform well in this exam. At this time, seeing the expressions on the faces of their own candidates, the family members waiting at the door were also happy and worried, some laughed like the candidates, and some had mixed feelings in their hearts, thinking about how to comfort their own candidates, and start again next year. Among them was a man dressed as a servant, constantly looking into the courtyard, as if looking for someone.

At this time, a young candidate was slowly walking out of the Tribute Academy, and while looking back behind him from time to time, he seemed to be looking for someone. The domestic servant Ding Youcai recognized that this was his own young master, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Young Master Ziren, you can figure it out, Youcai has been worried about you these days, how is the exam this time?" The master can say, if you can be admitted to the lifting person, the villain will accompany the study to have ten acres of paddy field, and the small one can wait to be stained with your light, young master, why don't you speak, didn't you do well in the exam? ”

Seeing that Ding Youcai was making a loud noise and had no intention of stopping, the young man hurriedly quickened his pace, walked to Ding Youcai's side and whispered: "Youcai, this is the important place in the examination room and no noise, by the way, can you see my Senior Brother Zhu?" ”

At this time, a man about thirty years old behind him walked over confidently and said, "Brother Ziren, what is the matter of looking for a brother?" ”

The young man hurriedly recognized his senior brother's voice as soon as he heard it, turned around and replied respectfully: "Senior brother, there is nothing important, I have made an appointment with you to return to Wucheng County tonight, but before entering the examination room, I suddenly thought that there was something at home, and I wanted to stay for a while." So I want to discuss with you if we can start together tomorrow afternoon, and the two of us will definitely get together tonight to exchange their experiences in this autumn. Looking at the expression of the senior brother, don't say that it is this township examination, it is estimated that he will participate in the examination next year, and the nomination of the gold list is also a must-win, congratulations to the senior brother in advance. ”

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Borrowing the auspicious words of the virtuous brother, if it is really as the virtuous brother said, you and I will be drunk and rest, the hour is not early, the family is still waiting for my news, and I will rush home overnight, so I will take the first step, and there will be a period later." ”

The young man smiled: "I wanted to talk to my senior brother for a while tonight, but since my senior brother is returning home today, I won't delay you, and I regret it." ”

After bidding farewell to Senior Brother Zhu, the young man whispered to the servant: "If you have money, don't worry, the questions of this township exam are in the taste of the young master, and the middle school should be nine out of ten." By the way, you have money, are you ready to explain the things and things that you have explained before? ”

Youcai replied with a smile: "Young master, rest assured, the carriage has been ordered, and the snacks for the two young masters have also been prepared for you, and our master, your uncle, and the third uncle each prepared a number of Longjing tea, and bought a silk horse for the lady." Aunt Shen said hello to Aunt Shen yesterday, Wenlong, Zhonglong, and Yunlong, the three little masters, I am very happy to receive your snacks. Wenlong and Young Master Zhonglong have already sorted out their salutes, and they are looking forward to taking them to Wucheng County to play after your township test, Young Master Yunlong is too young to go and cried. But young master, I didn't say it! Although this grandmother of the Shen family is married to your third uncle, the Shen family has always disliked that our Ding family is from a martial arts background, and if you don't want to see us, why should you bother to please them. ”

After listening to Youcai's words, the young scholar said with a serious face: "Youcai, if you don't change the problem of saying a lot, the young master will deduct your reward for five acres of paddy fields when you go back." When Uncle Mao Wei was alive, he was not kind to my Ding family, but unfortunately my uncle died early, leaving my aunt and her alone, and having a hard time with Wenlong and their three children. Prepare a few silver tickets for my aunt later, just say it's my little heart. It's not early, let's go back to the inn first, young master, I'm tired from being busy with exams these days, and I want to go back to the inn early to rest. After the young man finished speaking, he walked straight in the direction of the inn, and he didn't dare to say anything more when he had money, so he hurriedly followed behind him.

The two walked a short distance and happened to pass by a green building. The girls upstairs dressed up one by one, and kept secretly sending autumn waves to the pedestrians downstairs. Standing at the door, the ** saw the two masters and servants dressed like this, and judged that these two must be students and servants who came to take the exam, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said: "This son is magnificent, a talent, he must be a talented man who came to Hangzhou to catch the exam, look at the son's confident appearance, this time the exam will definitely be able to high school, or come to us to be happy, our girl likes you the most, I only charge you eighty percent of the cost." With that, he stepped forward with the big teapot and tried to pull the boy and the servant into the building.

At this time, the young man and the servant Youcai exchanged glances, and smiled when they saw Youcai. The young man said to ** with a sad face: "This sister won't tell you that the student didn't go well in the exam this time, and he lost his entanglement on the road, and he was very depressed in his heart, and he was looking for a place to vent, and if there was any good girl, just call." I don't have any money, and when Young Master Ben is happy enough, I will give you this servant, and he will do things quickly is to eat a large amount, at least ten bowls of rice at a time. ”

Youcai hurriedly said with this crying voice at this time: "Young master, don't take me out, I will definitely eat a little less in the future, just eight bowls of rice a meal, but you have to take care of the soup." ”

Hearing that the two of them had no money, this ** turned his face faster than turning a book, hurriedly let go of his hand, took a few steps back, and lost a smile on his face, and immediately drooped his face and thought that he had lost his eyes today. The master and servant hurriedly rushed away without looking back, laughing as they went. At this time, it suddenly dawned on the master and servant that the master and servant had just sung a double reed and followed their own path, but now that the person has gone away, it is too late to chase it, so he has to force a smile to look for the next target.

The master and servant walked out not far and saw someone selling dogs on the street, the young man carefully observed for a while, and selected a snow-white little chai dog from it, ready to give it to Mao Yunlong tomorrow, coaxing this little guy, otherwise he cried his nose and looked so distressed. Then the master and servant returned to the inn, and after dinner, they went to bed early.
