Chapter 124: Isn't this a whole person?
Without the noise of Lu Fatzi, Wu Jie felt that the world had become better at first. But after sitting for a long time, I always felt that something was missing.
Mr. Dai taught the Bagu Wen method for several days in a row, and he held Wu Jie to depression. There's really nothing interesting about this thing, it's nothing more than mastering a fixed format, cramming empty and boring words that you can't find fault with.
At this time, Wu Jie remembered Lu Chang's nagging in his ears a few days ago, and missed copying "The Legend of the White Snake", it is always good to have something to do.
The township examination is held once every three years, and is generally presided over by the provincial academic and political yamen. Although Suncheonfu is a state capital, its administrative level is two levels larger than that of ordinary prefectures, somewhat similar to the municipalities directly under the central government in later generations. Therefore, Suncheonfu is qualified to hold the Autumn Festival.
Shuntianfu also posted a list of texts early, and all the students and supervisors of the prefecture, the tribute students, the shadow students, and the official students, who passed the scientific examination, the admission of the subject, and the recording of the examination, can take the examination. Every child, noon, mao, and unitary year is the main branch, and the court celebration is called Enke.
The township test is divided into three sessions, and it is scheduled for September 11 this year, just after the Chung Yeung Festival.
It's August 6, and there is still a month and four days before the exam date.
Wu Jie and the students in the school who were eligible to participate in the township examination were also brought forward by the Lu family, and they signed up early, which also saved a lot of trouble.
The examiner of this examination was appointed by the imperial court according to the rules, and the name of the examiner was kept secret from the outside world, and it was not known who it was. It is said that three days before the exam, the principal and deputy examiners will enter the examination room in advance, and then hand in three sets of questions, and then select one set of questions as the exam questions at random.
Who the examiner is and what questions he comes up with are meaningless to Wu Jie. At present, it seems that his butterfly, who accidentally crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, did not fan the so-called storm, and history moved forward unhurriedly according to his original trajectory. If nothing else, the questions of the current Keshun Tianfu Township Examination should be exactly the same as those recorded in real history.
Of course, even if there are some changes, it doesn't matter to the current Wu Jie. His memory has improved greatly recently, and he has already memorized hundreds of classic model essays in his stomach, which is enough for one exam.
Listening to Mr. Dai lecture on it for a long time, Wu Jie only felt sleepy. He now regrets that he entered the Lu family to study, he knew that he could earn fifty taels of silver by writing a few thousand words, who would want to come here to be constrained. However, if you don't enter the school, you won't be able to know Lu Chang, the second generation of officials.
Now there is no possibility of dropping out, and I can only suffer more than a month of living sin.
I don't know how long it took, but Lu Chang, who had been basking outside for half an hour, finally came in with his head drooped and sat next to Wu Jie without saying a word.
Soon it was noon, and as a rule, the young masters of the Lu family could go back to their yards to eat. Today's Lu Chang didn't know what was wrong, so he didn't leave, and came to Wu Jie's side with a rice bowl: "Brother Jie, I was a book demon just now, don't mind." Look at that...... Do you want to think of another way to get the book back from my sister-in-law's hand? That's my heart disease, and I always feel a little uncomfortable when the handle falls into the hands of others. β
Wu Jie: "I really can't help it. He was also disgraced by Miss Lu Shuang's comments just now, and he felt that he was really helpless against the girl with the evil surname.
Seeing the loss on Lu Chang's face, Wu Jie comforted: "Since Miss Lu San has held the book in her hand for so long and has not reported it to her parents, I don't think I can bear to see you punished by the family law." I think it's better for you to be cheeky and go to your sister-in-law's place again, and it's good to be careful with you. β
"That's all it can be." Lu Chang was disappointed, and took a bite of rice fiercely, turning his grief and anger into food.
β¦β¦ The time of the day passed in Wu Jie's boredom and Lu Chang's restlessness.
After finishing school, Lu Chang thought about it, and felt that what Wu Jie said was also a way to do it, so he was heartbroken, and he walked towards Lu Shuang's courtyard again. He hadn't been here for a while, and when he entered the courtyard, the big parrot hanging under the porch shouted as usual: "The fat man is here, the fat man is here." β
Lu Chang didn't have the heart to be angry with this bird, and he didn't bother to let people report it, so he walked into his sister's room in a daze, threw the end of "The Legend of the White Snake" written by Wu Jie in front of her, and sat next to him gasping for breath.
Lu Shuang just washed his hair, and his long hair was scattered on his shoulders, making his waist even more slender.
To be honest, although Miss Lu San has a few freckles on both sides of her nose, she is a lovely person with beautiful eyebrows. But this situation fell into the eyes of the fat man, but there was an unbearable chill that couldn't help but surge from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Chang is reading a new book in the market, what is the name of "The Legend of Kong Shufang's Pisces Fan Pendant", this book was bought by him, that is, an ordinary novel of talented and beautiful women.
The story is old-fashioned, and it doesn't seem to be well written.
Miss Lu San frowned as she watched.
Lilac happened to be there, and was wiping her hair with a cotton towel attached to Miss San, when she saw the fat man coming in, she glanced at him, and her eyes were full of worry.
"This book is so ugly, it's so boring!" The little girl sighed, threw the book aside, grabbed the finale of "The Legend of the White Snake" and looked at it casually, and then sneered: "I said that Wu Jie is a talented man, and I can't imagine that the story written is also turbid, although it is not a clichΓ© happy ending, but it is inevitable to pretend to be a moral gentleman at the end, and preach." This man is also a mundane thing...... Lilac, do you think so? β
Ding Xiang smiled reluctantly: "Third Miss, Ding Xiang is just a subordinate, she can't read two big characters, how can she know whether a book is good or bad." β
"yes, you're illiterate." Miss Lu suddenly shouted: "It's so boring, there are enough things in the house." The few new books that have been published recently have been boring. There is a shortage of books, and there is a panic in books! Is there anything more terrible than not having a book to read...... Hey, why did the second brother come and when did he come? You haven't been to me in a while! By the way, I forgot, you have to prepare for next month's township exam, and now you are out of the road and motivated. You're busy! β
Lu Chang was buried by his sister, and his fat face was red: "I know who I am, I can't pass the exam anyway, what am I busy with, I am extremely bored all day long, grinding my skin and rubbing itchy." You've seen the end of the book, what do we say. If you still care about the brother-sister relationship, give it back to me. β
"Hehe, second brother, you're in a hurry, I like to see the way you look when you're angry." Lu Shuang jumped up happily: "In this way, I really can't return that book, otherwise how will I tease you in the future." β
"You ......" The fat man clenched his fists angrily, and after a while, he let go of his hand dejectedly: "Dead and dead, anyway, my life will be ruined in your hands, just do what you like, I'll go." β
Seeing that the second brother was really annoyed, Lu Shuang smiled even more happily: "Where are you going?" β
"Where else can I go, of course, to my mother's place to say goodbye."
"I advise you not to go, my mother is already angry with you."
"Ah, you...... Did you give the book to your mother? The fat man's face lost its blood.
"How is it possible, I still don't think I can hand it over!" The little girl shook her hand: "Another thing. You probably don't know it yet, some people in the house say that you have an outer room called Bai Suzhen outside, and you are still a married woman. In order to compete for this woman, you and Wu Jie are still fighting. When my mother heard this, she was so angry that she collapsed. Ha ha! β
It doesn't matter what this sentence is, Lilac next to her body shook and her face turned pale.
Lu Chang was dumbfounded: "Who slandered me, who ...... It's incredible. You know this, why don't you explain it? Damn, I'm going to see my mother first, and I'm going to make things clear, it's so hateful! β
Seeing this, Lu Shuang jumped and jumped with joy. Waiting for Lu Chang to run out of the house angrily, she glanced at Lilac meaningfully: "Okay, you don't need to wait here, go back to your mother's yard." By the way, one more thing. β
β¦β¦ The fat man lacked physical strength, rushed out of the girl's room, couldn't walk a few steps and was a little out of breath, sitting on a Taihu Lake stone by the lotus pond, just rested for a while, and saw Lilac coming with an envelope, and threw his head over.
"Miss gave it to you." The face is cold.
"Something."
Lilac: "Can't you see it yourself, it's not that you don't have eyes." β
This is the first time Lilac has spoken to herself, and Lu Chang was stunned: "Lilac, what's wrong with you?" β
"What's wrong with me, what do you have to do with the young master? Didn't you raise an outer room outside, you have a good ability, seduce a husband with a husband, and two people work together to raise a woman. You're not ugly, I'm still panicking. Speaking of this, Lilac's heart was sour, and tears fell in a row.
"What a woman is a woman, what a married woman, damn, this is a rumor!" The fat man couldn't help but scolded his mother loudly: "It must be Lu Xuan and Lin Tingchen, two birdmen, if Lao Tzu really wants a woman, it is impossible to hook a half-old, a husband with a husband." In this person's market, the yellow flower girl has dozens of taels of silver each, and she can't buy anything. β
"Do you still want to go to the human market to buy people?" Lilac's face was even paler.
"What to buy, I said this is a rumor, Lilac, you are such a caring person in vain, you don't even believe me!" The fat man was thunderous.
"Is it really a rumor?" Ding Xiang turned his head: "No wind and no waves, what's the matter with Bai Suzhen?" β
"Say, I forgot to explain it to you." The fat man was even more angry: "That's just the characters in the book, and they're taken seriously." As he spoke, he explained the ins and outs of this matter for a long time.
Only then did Lilac come to her senses, and she covered her mouth and smiled: "It turned out to be a character in the script, a person in this courtyard...... The trivial things are spread as if they were true. β
"Originally, that's Lu Xuan trying to mess with me."
"Well, the aunts and girls in the room of the eldest young master are all wild, and the second young master, you also have to have one more heart in your heart. The people in this courtyard look like a harmonious mess on the surface, but they all have guns and sticks behind their backs. It is easy to prevent thieves, but it is difficult to prevent thieves for life. β
Lilac nagged for a long time, and suddenly said: "By the way, second son, married women are not necessarily half-old." β
"You ......"
Lilac smiled and bent down, and said for a long time: "I forgot, the third lady asked me to give you this letter just now." said that although Wu Jie's book was not very good, the selection of talents among the dwarves was better than the book in the bookstore outside, and she was very satisfied. I tore two pages from your book, saying that I would pay you back first. If you want to go back to that book, write some beautiful stories and send them over, and she'll be so happy that she'll reward you with two pages. As long as you keep writing, you will be able to get that book back one day. β
"Ah, she's blackmailing, blackmailing!" The fat man screamed and jumped, startling the group of koi in the lotus pond next to him to quickly hide in the depths of the lotus flowers.
Still, it's a good start.
It's better than not coming back at all.
The fat man casually opened the envelope and pulled out two pages from it.
Lilac was curious for a moment, and stretched out her head to look, but it was an unsightly picture. Immediately blushed with shame, and spat out: "Shameless...... How could there be such a thing, Miss? β
Thinking of this, Lilac's face turned white again.
Lu Chang glanced at the cloves, eating and smiling: "Good sister......"
"Don't!" Lilac screamed and fled in a hurry.
"This is the Spring Palace of the Ming Dynasty? Second, when Wu Jie saw the two pages of drawings sent by Lu Chang, he was disappointed.
The drawings on these two pages are really not very good, the expressions of the characters are dull and wooden, and the relationship between body proportions is not right. The head is large, the body is small, and the legs are short. It looks inferior to the cartoon characters of later generations, let alone high-definition body photography.
Such a picture not only failed to arouse Wu Jie's interest, but felt disgusted.
But the fat man Lu next to him drooled, and laughed quietly: "Brother Jie, brother, I risked my life to bring this picture to you, look at this move, cow!" This trick has a nice name......"
"It's not a big deal, it's just Guanyin sitting on the lotus platform, nothing new."
Lu Chang opened his mouth wide, and it took a long time to give a thumbs up: "It's amazing, Brother Jie, you even know this." β
"Nonsense, it's not a terrible thing, it's just some old man's cart or something." Wu Jie picked up the pen, glued ink and blackened the two pictures, and then threw them into the wastepaper basket.
Zhengse said: "The gentleman is good." The surname of food and color is also understandable, which is the great desire of people. But when a person is young, the flesh is at the beginning, and the precept is in color, and you can't indulge in it. Besides, if others see it, it will be a storm again, or is it better to throw it away, how many pages is there in your book? β
"There are about 100 pages in total, and they are all different tricks."
"More than 100 pages, more than 100 different tricks!" Wu Jie was taken aback.
"Brother Jie, you should continue to write, please."
"More than 100 pages, writing a short story of a few thousand words to get two pages back, isn't it...... Is it a whole person" Wu Jie was speechless for a while.
