Chapter 2 Brothers, Friends and Brothers

"I said, Brother Xie, you have been delaying this rent for two months, do you want to give you a quasi-word? The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info said to my housekeeper that if you can't pay the rent again, you should get out of it neatly, so that we can continue to rent the house to other families. ”

His words were rude and rude, and he looked like his nostrils were facing the sky, but Xie Fang said with a smiling face: "Look at what you said, isn't this what Old Master Liu wants to hand over the bundles, and our whole family will give the bundles to Old Master Liu first." As for the rent, the boy has not forgotten it, and he will definitely hand it over to the chief butler in three days. ”

The man with a meaty face exhaled a burst of cold air from his nostrils, and said with a smile: "That's good, in fact, a certain person is also a messenger, so I naturally don't want you to be kicked out without a place to shelter from the wind and rain." This time, I'll go back and tell the big butler first, if I ...... next time."

"Next time, we will definitely give the rent with both hands." Xie Fang blocked the conversation before the meat man could speak, and the other party snorted coldly and got up and left.

Xie Fang wanted to go out and send him off, but it can be seen that the horizontal meat man's attitude doesn't want to be self-defeating and disgusting, so he sighed and watched him out of the yard.

"Big brother, what's going on?"

Xie Shen didn't have any impression of this meaty man, but he could see that the rent of this yard rented by the Xie family should be a lot, otherwise Xie Fang would not lick his face and beg the wicked man to postpone the grace for a few days. And it seems that Xie Fang deducted the rent that should have been paid to Xie Shen and handed it over, combined with his previous memories and feelings in the past ten days, Xie Shen was sure that his eldest brother Xie Fang and sister-in-law Xie Chen were really good people, just like what was written in the play, they were simple and kind, and they didn't have any bad intentions.

Xie Shen, who is accustomed to watching time-traveling novels and film and television dramas, is naturally afraid that he will face endless house fights as soon as he crosses. As for the division of the family and the field to fight the lawsuit, the bridge section where the concubine and the son fight are even more terrifying. Well, at least there won't be a fire in the backyard, leaving Xie Shen enough time to prepare for the imperial examination.

This is very important, Xie Shen has limited energy after all, if he is still distracted by these mundane things, it will be difficult to gain fame.

Xie Shen sighed at the moment, a good family environment is really important!

In fact, Xie Fang and Xie Chen treated Xie Shen like their own children. Not only is the food and clothing shorter than Xie Shen, but also insists on Xie Shen studying. You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, reading was a very expensive thing. Not only do you have to buy pen, ink, paper, inkstone and necessary books, but you also have to give a lot of money to the teacher every year. The bundle is the tuition fee, which was mostly in kind before the Ming Dynasty, but in the end it gradually evolved into money.

This amount of silver is a lot, so I took the bundle given to this old master Liu, and a year is a consistent amount of money. For the Xie family, this is a large number. You must know that the small courtyard they rented is only 300 yuan a month, which is equivalent to three months' rent for the Xie family.

Although Xie Fang runs a tea shop and has some income every month, he is far from rich, except for the rent of the house and the consumption of daily meals, there is really nothing left.

However, this money must be given, and if you don't give it, it will be tantamount to disrespecting Mr. Teaching, and Mr. can naturally sweep such students out of the house.

In a society with connections like the Ming Dynasty, this is equivalent to cutting off the future of the imperial examination.

The hopes of the Xie family are now pinned on Xie Shen, and Xie Fang naturally does not want Xie Shen to follow his old path to do business again.

Xie Fang and Xie Chen were so good to themselves, which made Xie Shen really moved.

Although he may not be able to become a world-famous minister, he must try his best.

Isn't it the imperial examination, I haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run? He is the elite of later generations, and he may not be as good as these great masters in the world, but he has studied many of the articles of the world. In addition, Xie Shen has the ability to never forget, and he can silently praise some of the articles of the champion.

The questions of the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty had to be taken from the Four Books and Five Classics, and there were sixth-level examinations for the county government and the township hall, and the questions were actually not enough at all. Therefore, many of the questions are repetitive, but the angle is slightly changed and packaged in the form of interception.

Xie Shen only needs to integrate and fill in some of his own understandings to complete a current essay well. Those examiners are not travelers, how can they know that Xie Shen's text and views are from everyone in later generations?

So as long as you can achieve fame, the next road is not difficult. However, what Xie Shen was most worried about was this small three-yuan exam.

The bigger the exam, the fairer it is, and that's true everywhere. For an exam of this level like the county exam, the examiner himself is the county order, and it is not a sentence of the county order to take what to take. The Xie family is a complete poor family, with neither money nor power, if it weren't for his extraordinary talent, it would be difficult for Xie Shen to impress the county order to get the head of the case. If you don't get the head of the case, there's no point in what is behind it. After all, the most difficult exam for Xiao Sanyuan is the government exam, and if he can't get a brilliant result in the county exam to attract enough attention, Xie Shen is not sure if he can stand out in the next government exam.

The question is back to square one, that is, how to get the first place in the county test.

Of course, Old Master Liu is very important, but what is more critical is the county order. After all, Mr. Liu can only be regarded as an instructor at most, and the county order is the real examiner. The results of the county examination all depend on his old man's mind, and if he wants to get good results, he must serve this big Buddha well.

"You don't have to worry about this, the affairs of Xiaolang's family are your eldest brother and me, you just have to concentrate on studying, and give me a show of fame as soon as possible, and our Xie family will not be bullied and ignored by this again."

"Eldest brother and sister-in-law, please rest assured, Shen'er will devote herself to studying, gain fame as soon as possible, and glorify the lintel for our old Xie family."

Xie Fang said with a smile: "Don't patronize it, eat it." Xiaolang is the time to grow his body, eat more. ”

Xie Fang sandwiched a scrambled egg with chopsticks into Xie Shen's bowl, and Xie Shen, who was moved, said, "Big brother, eat it too." ”

Brothers, friends, brothers, brothers, and sisters-in-law are all fully supporting him, if he can't achieve fame again, Xie Shen really wants to find a piece of tofu and crash to death.

After hurriedly eating the meal, Xie Shen returned to his east wing, locked the door, took out a pen and paper, and began to scribble.

Mr. Liu is his own teacher, but just like other teachers, he has too many students, and if he wants to attract Mr. Liu's attention, he must have one or two unique skills. In the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, although Shiwen was the right way, it was not only Shiwen who could rely on fame. Although poetry is not as popular as the Tang and Song dynasties, it still has a certain market. If you use it well and use it well, it can work wonders.

Most of Mengxue are half-sized, and their appreciation is limited, if Xie Shen throws out a good poem and good words in a timely manner, it will definitely make Old Master Liu look at it differently.
