Section 80 Giving silver before leaving
The five county exams have been completed until the end of February, followed by the government exam in April, and the test center is in Huangzhou Mansion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The distance from Huangmei County to Huangzhou Prefecture is long, at least nearly ten times the distance from Shuixi Village to Huangmei County. Therefore, the carp who successfully crossed the dragon gate in Huangmei County complained about why they had to take five exams instead of four exams, and whether the county lord was too idle. On the other side, I hurriedly packed my luggage and hurried to Huangzhou Mansion, for fear that it would be too late, and even the inn where I could stay was emptied.
Lin Fusheng and others only returned to Zhao's house on the day of the long case, set up a table of wine banquets, and celebrated a little under the auspices of Zhao De. Immediately, it was scheduled for the next day, and I had to catch the car on the road.
On this day, Zhao De ordered his subordinates to prepare two carriages outside the door early, with a brown-red canopy on them. Each cart is pulled by a horse, and each car is equipped with a driver.
Originally, Zhao De planned to prepare a larger carriage for several people to travel in the same carriage, but the two carriages were lighter and easier to travel, so he prepared two small carriages.
On this trip, Chen Qing and Meng Zhixiao did not go to each other, they had already made an appointment with Wang Zongkui, and they had already gone on the road the evening of the previous day. Therefore, a group of six people, five students, and a little girl, Li Yan'er, walked out of the gate of Zhao's house one after another with their luggage in the early morning.
The luggage that Lin Fusheng brought this time was even more shabby than the blue zi he brought when he entered the examination shed. Everyone else is a big burden, but he only carries that small basket.
"Brother Fusheng, no test today? Why are you carrying a basket? As soon as I went out, several classmates took turns asking questions.
"Hehe, you brothers have misunderstood. This basket is the little brother's bag. ”
"Huh?!"
Lin Fusheng laughed twice, and he also looked a little helpless. It's really his burden, and it's not as big as this basket. When his dear second uncle left, he didn't know what kind of mentality he had, and he took everything away, such as the books to be warmed before the exam, the practice board, most of the paper, not to mention the silver taels, all of them were taken away, and nothing was left. I don't know how anxious he is.
Therefore, all Lin Fusheng has in his hand is the things he brought to the county test and a piece of clothes to change in. Wrap your bags in furoshiki and put them in a basket.
Looking at everyone's worried eyes, Lin Fusheng shrugged, this is the legendary trip, let's go.
With the morning breeze in February, several students who were rushing to take the exam stood in front of the two carriages, their hair bands fluttering, their clothes moving slightly, and their expressions were pleasant.
"You will definitely be able to go to high school here, and I will send Zhao not far away." Zhao De stood in front of the carriage and said goodbye to several elementary school students, his tone was deep, and he didn't seem to be talking to his juniors.
"Thank you Uncle Zhao for your care in recent days, the juniors thank you here."
Hu Youren bowed, and then, Lin Fusheng, Jiang Wendeng, and Sun Ji also saluted and thanked him.
Li Yan'er pouted, looking at a few people with their waists very interesting, so he shook his body at Zhao De, and his head almost hit the ground, "Yan'er also thank you, uncle." ”
"Uh, ah! Hahaha......" Zhao De was almost startled, and then touched his beard and laughed.
Zhao Zhongming looked at Li Yan'er's appearance and couldn't help but sneer, his eyes were full of affection.
"Dad, it's not too early, if there is nothing else, the child will rush with a few classmates."
"Wait a minute." Zhao De turned his head sideways as he spoke, and raised his chin at a servant next to him, the servant was surprised, raised his hand and shook slightly, and from behind him, four servants came out one after another, and each servant was holding a small tray in his hand.
The four of them stood in front of Lin Fusheng, Jiang Wendeng, Sun Ji and Hu Youren, with trays on their chests.
Lin Fusheng took a look, yo! Zhao Zhongming's father is so generous. In each plate are small silver ingots, four whole plates, how can there be two hundred taels of silver.
"Uncle Zhao, what are you ......" Sun Ji was surprised with a slight feeling of being frightened.
There is no pie in the sky, and even if it does, it is just a trap that looks like a pie.
Not only Sun Ji, but several people know what it means to be reactive. Therefore, there was a slight surprise on his face.
Zhao De looked at the expressions of several people, and said with a loud smile: "Zhao has no strengths, but he is hospitable and generous, and he likes to make friends with talented people, and everyone knows it in the entire Huangmei County." In previous years, the students who entered the county to take the exam had nowhere to stay, and Zhao treated them as guests. What's more, the four of you are still my son's classmates and friends. Give each other a little entanglement, just a little love for talent. ”
Lin Fusheng and the other three looked at each other, but they still didn't dare to take the silver.
Zhao Zhongming said lightly: "You can accept it, the candidates who have stayed overnight in the Zhao family will be given by their father when they go to the house for the exam." This is also the family style of our Zhao family, and you classmates do not need to shirk. ”
Everyone's eyes flickered for a moment, and then moved to Zhao De's body. Zhao De smiled and nodded, and the four of them slowly took the silver tael.
All those who go to the government to take the test will be given silver? What kind of business does the Zhao family have, and why does it have so much money? Moreover, this Uncle Zhao's behavior seems to be buying people's hearts.
Lin Fusheng took the money, still full of doubts.
The money has also been collected, and now it's time to go.
"Yan'er, you get in the car first!" Zhao Zhongming took Li Yan'er's hand and wanted to help her get into the carriage.
Li Yan'er is not the delicate young lady's daughter, she wants someone to help her, and she is still shaking the ground. She walked to the carriage with a big grin, nodded at Zhao Zhongming, said "um", then raised her hand and slapped it on the carriage pedal, turned over, and got into the car. Zhao Zhongming didn't let go of her hand in time, and was almost knocked to the ground by her.
Seeing this, Zhao De was really surprised, fortunately his son was fine, so he exhaled, opened his mouth, and swallowed back the words in his heart.
Such a crazy girl, dare to marry home!
Following Li Yan'er, Zhao Zhongming also boarded the carriage.
"Brother Fusheng, come up quickly!" Li Yan'er jumped at Lin Fusheng and shouted.
Zhao Zhongming didn't plan to take the same trip with Lin Fusheng, so he gave Hu Youren a look.
However, Hu Youren saw that Lin Fusheng was already standing under the carriage, so he couldn't step forward and forcefully pull him away. This eight-sided and exquisite Hu Youren immediately showed a trace of embarrassment.
Lin Fusheng stood in front of the carriage, his eyelids drooped slightly, raised his eyebrows lightly, and did not get into the carriage. Just as Li Yan'er was about to lean over to pull him, Lin Fusheng suddenly turned around and said to Hu Youren, who was following him: "Brother Youren, you get into this car." ”
So saying, he turned and headed for another carriage.
"Brother Fusheng, what's the matter with you!" Li Yan'er half-bowed, was stunned for a while, got up and puffed out two little pink cheeks, and then jumped out of the car, "Brother Fusheng, which car is different!" What's the exchange for? ”
Li Yan'er complained quietly, but she still followed Lin Fusheng and got into another carriage.
At this time, Jiang Wendeng and Sun Ji glanced at each other, and it seemed that they were going to tear us apart. The two of them had a tacit understanding and went separately towards the two carriages.
But when Jiang Wendeng was just about to get into the carriage where Lin Fusheng was, someone behind him patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Wendeng, let's go take another car." ”
"Uh......" Jiang Wendeng, who has always been old and serious, also appeared on his forehead at this time, and black lines appeared.
Subsequently, the curtain of the car was raised, and Zhao Zhongming appeared in front of Lin Fusheng unintentionally. I saw him roll his eyes, didn't speak, and sat next to Li Yan'er sullenly.
"Drive!" With a crisp whip, the carriage slowly started, gradually drove away from the county seat, and then accelerated, embarking on the journey to the prefecture.
