In the early morning of the fourth day of the fifth month, Lumei gave birth to a son, crying loudly, Zhang Cao's mother Wang only has such a son, and now has a grandson, although it is a concubine, it is also a great joy, that is, Zhang Cao wrote a letter to his father Zhang Baosheng in Beijing to report the good news, and discussed with Zhang Cao's wife Qi, Lilvmei made a side room, which is considered to have a name - June 22, Zhang Cao's father Zhang Baosheng passed home from Beijing through the express shop, bringing an exact news: the chief examiner of this year's Zhejiang Township Examination is really the Gengxu Ketan five years ago to spend money on Qianyi.

Zhang Yuan reminded him that Qian Qianyi was very likely to preside over the Yimao Zhejiang Township Examination, so he began to prepare, not only read the Qian Qianyi eight-share collection that Infant Sister helped him find, but also asked Zong Yishan to help him go to Changshu to collect Qian Qianyi's poems, he wanted to fully understand Qian Qianyi's academic thoughts and poetry style, just after Zhang Cao received a letter from Beijing, Zong Yishan also rushed back from Changshu, bringing a stack of Qian Qianyi's poetry manuscripts, some were engraved, some were hand-copied, a total of no less than 200,000 words, Qian Qianyi was fifteen years old The Theory of Staying in the Marquis has been found - he will leave for Hangzhou in late July, and there is only one month to concentrate on studying, Zhang Yuan is now famous, and there are constant visitors, some ask for advice on composition secrets, some want to send land property, some devote themselves to slavery, and some ask Zhang Yuan to intercede...... Let Zhang Yuan's study be very disturbed, this year's summer in Shaoxing is extremely hot, reading and writing, sweating, Mu Zhenzhen fanned him, while wiping his sweat, the weather is really hot and evil, so when the eldest brother Zhang Dai came to ask him to go to the Tianwa Nunnery of Yudi Mountain to spend the summer reading, Zhang Yuan was happy to go with him - early in the morning of June 24, Zhang Yuan temporarily said goodbye to the second old man and his wife, rode a white mule snow essence, brought Laiwang and Wuling, and the eldest brother Zhang Dai and Zhou Menong, Qi Biaojia and a group of more than ten people out of Jishan Gate, over the Dayu Mausoleum, up to the Tianwa Nunnery in the middle of the Yudi Mountain, Tianwa Nunnery is not a nunnery, it is a small temple dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, the elders in the nunnery are the family of Shanyin Zhang, together with the seven monks in the nunnery are provided with food and clothing by Xizhang, which is equivalent to the family temple of Shanyin Zhang's family - Tianwa Nunnery is extremely steep screw road leading to the peak of the incense burner, the left is close to the deep valley, the front of the temple is full of high acacia deep bamboo, and is located in the southwest foot of Yuzhi Mountain, the day is sunny and said to be the time after the day will have the head to come over, and to the beginning of the afternoon Shen Shi, the head is covered by the incense burner peak again, so the Tianwa Nunnery is extremely shady, Zhang Yuanbian, Zhang Rulin used to study here in the summer - as soon as Zhang Yuan entered the green shade of the mountain gate, he felt that the heat suddenly disappeared, and praised: "It is really a good place to study in midsummer." ”

Nengzhu and Laiwang, who were carrying luggage, sweated profusely, rested their burdens in front of the mountain gate to wipe their sweat, and shouted "cool".

Zhang Dai said with a smile: "Yanke also wanted to come, but he was scolded by the eldest father, saying that he was a black sheep and would delay our preparation for the exam and not let him come." ”

Zhou Menong and Qi Biaojia both laughed.

Zhang Cao is a student of Nasu Prison, he is not qualified to participate in the township examination, only after graduating from Guozijian to be a petty official who does not enter the stream, Zhang Cao is naturally impatient to do the vulgar official, according to the regulations he will continue to go to Guozijian this year, but Zhang Dai and Zhang Yuan do not go, he does not want to go alone - the elder of Tianwa Nunnery has returned to the mountain and said that he has asked the monks to clean the five guest rooms, waiting for Zhang Dai and a few people to arrive, then he arranged for everyone to stay, and said that the wine and meat are not forbidden, just don't eat and drink in front of the Bodhisattva in the main hall, Zhang Dai said: " We only follow the master of Huanshan to be vegetarian, wash the stomach and intestines, and the meat eaters despise it. ”

Elder Huanshan said with a smile: "Make, make, Xiao'an's vegetarian dishes can still be eaten." ”

In this way, Zhang Yuan lived in Tianwa Nunnery, every morning and afternoon reading, composition, and a review of the composition and exchange of experiences at night, the arrangement of the composition is completely according to the three township examinations, each three said a round, the first said to make seven articles, of which four book questions are four, three articles of scripture and righteousness, each of the four book titles is more than 200 words, the scriptures are more than 300 words, and the seven articles are not less than 2,000 words in total, the regulations are so, but it is often written more than 2,000 words, 3,000 and 5,000 words, which must be completed within one day, the Ming Dynasty township test is different from the Qing Dynasty township test, There is only one day of examination, and the Qing Dynasty is a three-day examination, so it is very tense for ordinary scholars to write seven essays a day, but Zhang Dai, Zhang Yuan, and Qi Biaojia are all well-known talents, Zhou Menong considered it a little, but it was not slow, three in the morning and four in the afternoon, and there was still time to spare—the second time it was five judgments, and one of the edicts and edicts were written, not less than three hundred words—the third was a trial strategy, and five questions were made, and the length was not limited—every night, four people gathered around each other to evaluate each other's compositions, and when evaluating one person's composition, the other three were respectively the room officer, deputy chief examiner and chief examiner, to write criticism, after three consecutive compositions, pause for a day, this is said to be dedicated to the study of Qian Qianyi's poems, mainly Zhang Yuan lectures, Qian Qianyi's manuscripts Zhang Yuan has read all of them, Zhang Yuan summarized that: Qian Qianyi's academic thought is characterized by poor classics and ancient studies, with the connotation of returning to the academic origin, applying it to the world, and reconstructing the outline - regardless of whether Qian Qianyi has an itchy scalp, too cold water, or whether he regrets not dying in Yiyou and said that he is full name, Now Qian Qianyi is thirty-four years old, talented, ambitious, and wants to use the style of Han and Han studies to correct the academic corruption, bias of the world and the sluggishness of national affairs caused by today's empty talk and superficial atmosphere - through the study of Qian Qianyi's early poems and essays collected at present, Zhang Yuan has a deep understanding of Qian Qianyi's ideological tendencies and literary style preferences, Qian Qianyi's thoughts are extremely complex, no books are not read, both Han and Han, but also greatly influenced by Yangming Xinxue, Buddhist scriptures, Taoism and pre-Qin Zhuzi, poetry can break through the rigid imitation of the retro school, The narrowness of the Jingling faction and the shallowness of the public security faction, the style of writing is abundant, and it can combine the spread of knowledge and the expression of the surname well, vertical and horizontal twists and turns, unrestrained and unrestrained, Qian Qianyi is particularly diligent in poetry, figuring out the famous masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, turning to many teachers, and is very good at learning, Qian Qianyi's poems are the first of the three families in Jiangzuo, and the name is well deserved——...... The mountain said that the passage is very slow and very fast, get up early to see the morning Lan Shu roll, the fog in the mountain unconsciously dissipates in the attention, and the evening looks at the red glow, watching the clouds change in the sky above the incense burner peak to darken, turn gray, as if a charcoal fire is slowly cooling, the twilight is coming little by little, shrouded, the night breeze is slightly cool, time is turning, this more than 20 days have passed - Zhang Dai and the four of them feel that this time Tianwa Nunnery has benefited greatly, so July 14 down the mountain over the Yu Basin, July 16 and up to Tianwa Nunnery, meet to make two more rounds of articles, Twenty-four days and then go down the mountain to prepare to go to Hangzhou - July 18 afternoon, Zhang Yuan in the monk's house under the west window to make a strategy, outside the window Huai bamboo green lined with the light reflected in, pounced on the head, by the use of a green, green cool, green clear, the tip of the pen flowing out of a small block characters also made bright blue - Zhang Yuan in a happy and cool state of mind under the pen pen like flying, Shen Shi, at the end of the time, after the completion of five policy discussions, see the eldest brother Zhang Dai and Qi Huzi, still doing the third question, Zhou Menong is slower, only to start the second question - Jing Ji thought, Zhang Yuan put away the pen and paper and said: "Big brother, I went up to the top of the incense burner to see the sunset. ”

Zhang Daizheng was concentrating on his composition and responded casually.

Zhang Yuan drank a bowl of herbal tea, took Wuling out of Tianwa Nunnery, climbed to the top of the incense burner through the screw road, this screw mountain road has nearly 1,000 stone steps, one side of the mountain road is a cliff, the rock is abrupt, quite precipitous - the screw road is around, turn to the Half Moon Rock on the east side of the Jade Mountain, the yellow wall and black tile of the Tianwa Nunnery covered by the Huai bamboo can not be seen, below the Half Moon Rock, a large area of green bamboo stretches down to spread more than 100 zhang, a mountain stream flickers in the bamboo forest, the sun shines, the bamboo forest is dripping green, the mountain stream seems to be the bamboo forest green color convergence, and then down, Songxia stone foothills, ancient trees and red leaves, there are pavilions and pavilions, the eaves are higher than Lin Gao - Zhang Yuan suddenly lost interest in the incense burner peak to see the falling photos, and said to Wuling: "Xiao Wu, let's go to the bamboo forest and mountain stream to play." ”

Wu Ling looked at it and said happily: "That's the refuge garden of Master Wang's house-" Seeing that the young master didn't say anything, he said in his heart: "How can the young master not know that the young master wants to see his infant sister, it won't be so coincidental, and the junior sister is also in that garden, right?" ”

Wu Ling pretended to be interested and said, "Okay, go to the mountain stream to play, and you can also swim." ”

In Wu Ling's heart, there are still expectations for the young master and Miss Wang Yingzi's "The Legend of the West Chamber", Miss Wang is eighteen years old, and she refuses to talk about marriage because of the young master, Miss Wang is very infatuated, but what to do, Miss Wang is not Aunt Wang Wei, tricky wow, but it doesn't seem to matter if it is "West Chamber" first - Wu Ling followed behind the young master, carefully from the screw turnout, and walked down in the direction of the bamboo forest mountain stream, there is no road, the hillside is very steep, fortunately, large and small bamboos are dense, The two of them were like apes pulling from the previous bamboo to the next bamboo, hanging the bamboo all the way down, approaching the side of the mountain stream, the hillside suddenly flattened down, the arms and cheeks of the two people were swept by the bamboo tips bloodstains, sweating, looking at each other, they were laughing, feeling very happy.

This bamboo forest is the place where Zhang Yuan and Wang Yingzi dug bamboo shoots in the spring of the previous year, the bamboo grew very fast, and it was impossible to tell which bamboo was the one that Wang Yingzi was crying about, and the bamboo shoots that were not dug up in the spring grew into a verdant and lovely little bamboo.

Came to the side of the mountain stream, looked back at the incense burner peak, on the bamboo forest and green tops, a round of red said had already fallen behind the peak, and it was estimated that it should be half past five when the bell was ringing at half past five - Zhang Yuan was holding water to wash his face by the mountain stream, and suddenly said: "Xiao Wu, how about we swim in the water to avoid the garden, and then detour back to Tianwa Nunnery?" ”

Wu Ling said: "Excellent. "Growing up in Shaoxing Water Town, naturally close to the water, the water of this mountain stream is crystal clear, and small fish can swim between the stones at the bottom of the stream, which makes people think of swimming like fish in the water - Zhang Yuan took off the square scarf, took off the shirt and socks, the upper body is red, the lower body is knee-length trousers, looking back at Wuling, it is still a child's habit of swimming, take off the essence, and can't help laughing - seeing the young master laughing at him, Wuling hurriedly tied the short robe, and learned from the young master to wrap the clothes and socks together with one hand, and flowed into the mountain stream - this year Shaoxing has a dry phase, There has only been one rain since the beginning of summer, this mountain stream is also shallow, the water is only up to the knees, but go downstream for more than ten zhang, the water will go to the crotch, and then walk a few zhang, the water is waist-high, the whole body simply plunges into the water, only the head and the left arm holding the clothes and shoes are exposed, swim down the water, ready to go ashore to the wooden pavilion near the river in the refuge - the mountain stream folds, the mountain pavilion is in sight, and slow, who is sitting on the wooden platform near the water by the pavilion?

Wu Ling's eyes were sharp, and he recognized that it was Miss Wang Er, and shouted in his heart: "There is fate, there is fate, this Miss Wang Er seems to be waiting for my young master here, by the way, the young master should not really make an appointment with Miss Wang Er, then my Xiao Wu is interesting, and I want to avoid it, so that the young master can act conveniently." ”

Wu Ling climbed a nearby shore rock, stopped, and watched the young master hold his clothes and shoes in his hands, as if he was giving a gift, and went down the river——...... Wang Yingzi and her sister Wang Jingshu and her mother and three younger brothers have been hiding in the garden since the 25th of last month, Wang Yingzi reads, composes, recites poetry, paints, plays chess, and fishes by the mountain stream, the mountain stream flows down from the intersection of the bamboo forest and the two springs, and the water is gentle and deep in front of this water pavilion, the deepest depth exceeds five feet, there are all kinds of fish hiding - dusk, after the sunset falls on the incense burner peak, the bamboo forest is thick and green, the valley is dense, the twilight begins to condense, Wang Yingzi and her sister sit on the bamboo chair of the wooden platform near the water, While fishing, gossiping, a wooden basin was put aside, half a basin of water, there were fish in the water, there were four or five tails, all three or four inches long, black crucian carp, silver carp, the spine of the fish was shaking, and they were swimming around the basin, thinking that they could escape if they swam fast - Wang Jingshu smiled: "Wang Yingzi is eighteen, Jiang Ziya is eighty, they are all idle to fish on Bixi, dare to ask if you have ever taken a boat to dream of the side?" ”

Wang Yingzi said: "The Ming Dynasty doesn't want a female first assistant, otherwise I can dream a dream." ”

"Idle fishing on Bixi, suddenly take a boat and dream of the side" are Li Bai's two poems, the last sentence refers to Jiang Ziya, the next sentence refers to Yi Yin, both of them are important ministers of the founding of the country - Wang Jingshu said: "Then Zhang Jiezi can dream a dream, I don't know if he fishes?" ”

Wang Yingzi said with a smile: "Senior Brother Jie Zi is preparing for the township exam, how can he be as free as us." ”

Wang Jingshu was a little anxious, so she pressed one end of the fishing rod under the fish basin, got up with a smile and said, "I'll go first, put the rod here, you help me take care of it, and bring it up if there is a fish on the hook." ”

Wang Yingzi smiled: "Sister, is this a wisher taking the bait?" ”

Wang Jingshu smiled and stepped on the plank road gracefully.

Wang Yingzi looked at her sister's back, and said in her heart: "My sister is only twenty-three years old, and she is a person like a flower branch, and she refuses to remarry, is it for Brother-in-law Chen's festival, my sister said no, my sister and the deceased Brother-in-law Chen don't have a deep relationship, but I don't want to gamble anymore——"

Wang Yingzi looked at a white stone idiot on the other side of the creek that looked like a lying lion, and suddenly felt that the fishing rod and silk line fell down, by hand, the hooked fish was not small, and quickly leaned over to look under the wooden platform, but saw a head exposed on the water surface, and a burden in one hand, at first surprised, and then recognized that this was the eyebrows and eyes of Senior Brother Jiezi, surprised and happy, and got up and said: "Why is Senior Brother Jiezi here?" While asking, she took two steps to the edge of the wooden platform, but forgot that her sister's fishing rod was on the ground, she stepped on the thin round bamboo pole, the bamboo pole sliding, the bamboo pole was not straight, this turn, the other end of the wooden basin was pryed over, the water in the wooden basin flowed to the ground, a few small fish jumped around, and a fish jumped into Wang Yingzi's skirt - this was all an instant almost simultaneous thing, Wang Yingzi saw Zhang Yuan and was surprised and delighted, the fish entered the skirt, fluttered on the bare legs, panicked, stepped on the bamboo pole and stumbled a little, it was not planted in the first place, but there is a fish writhing around, just cushioned on the sole of her shoe, accidental inevitable, slipped Wang Yingzi planted outside the wooden platform - Zhang Yuan tread water with both feet, one hand to support clothes and shoes, the other hand gently pulled Wang Yingzi's fishing line, raised his head and just asked, "What is the harvest of junior sister fishing", I saw Wang Yingzi stumbling and screaming from the six-foot-high wooden platform planted, quickly loosened the silk thread, and the clothes and shoes held in his left hand could not be taken care of, all thrown into the water, just raised his hands, Wang Yingzi had already smashed down heavily, and was smashing in the crook of his arm and arms, A momentum pressed him into the water, hurriedly twisted his waist and kicked his legs, and hugged Wang Yingzi out of the water - just like this for a moment into the water, Wang Yingzi had already choked on a mouthful of water, tears choked out, frightened, his arms and legs were tightly wrapped around Zhang Yuan like an octopus, so that Zhang Yuan couldn't swim, Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "Senior sister, don't panic, let your legs loosen a little, let me paddle well-"

Wang Yingzi heard Zhang Yuan say this, her heart was a little settled, and at the same time, her face was burning, and she quickly put down her legs that were coiled in Zhang Yuan's waist and crotch, and her arms were still tightly hooked around Zhang Yuan's neck, this didn't dare to let go, her eyes didn't dare to face Zhang Yuan, and her heart was in chaos - Zhang Yuan felt that her sister's crisp chest was squeezing his chest, and when he looked down, his sister's corset was floating in the water, the jade ditch was deep, and the double pedicle was looming, so he quickly struggled to move his eyes, hugged Wang Yingzi's thin waist with one hand, and swam to the shore of the wooden pavilion in a few moments. Hugged Wang Yingzi to a flat white stone on the shore and said, "Senior sister, sit firmly." Reflexively, he paddled quickly, chased seven or eight zhang away, fished back his clothes and shoes, and swam back to Mu to see Wuling before he swam to the drenched Wang Yingzi sat on the white stone on the shore in a daze, crossed his arms to his chest, and shouted: "Senior Brother Jiezi." "I want to cry and laugh.

Zhang Yuan threw the clothes and shoes he retrieved ashore, and then climbed up by himself, knee-length trousers [***], shirtless, feeling very indecent, sorry: "Senior sister, I'm sorry, I surprised you and caused you to fall into the water." ”

Wang Yingzi glanced at Zhang Yuan's broad shoulders and narrow waist, quickly retracted his gaze, and said softly: "Don't blame Senior Brother, I stepped on the fishing rod and slipped it." Holding his chest and legs, he didn't dare to get up, the silk dress, when wet, it was almost transparent, sticking to the skin, and everything would be exposed - it wasn't that he suddenly appeared, and the baby would not step on the fishing rod and fall into the water, Zhang Yuan knew his guilt, and he didn't know what to do for a while, the sky had darkened, if he left by himself, he was not at ease, it was too embarrassing to notify people to come, looking at the appearance of the infant sister holding her arms and bending over, she turned out her shirt and said: "It's wet, the junior sister will wear it first, cover it up - can the junior sister go, or I will take you back to the pavilion?" As he spoke, he put on the [***] dove-headed shoes, and the bottom of the shoes "poofed" and bubbled out.

Zhang Yuan's shirt was wide, Wang Ying's posture was petite, like a cloak and cloak, after he put it on, he looked up and down, covered it, and hurriedly got up and said: "Can I go, I'm fine, senior brother, then I'll go?" The tone asked, reluctant to give up - the situation was too embarrassing and ambiguous, Zhang Yuan didn't want to stay long, and smiled: "It's hot, it shouldn't catch a cold, junior sister go back and quickly change clothes - I'm leaving." He said to Wu Ling, who was stunned on the side: "Hurry up and get dressed and go." With a wave of his hand, he walked towards the garden gate naked, holding a square scarf in his hand - Wang Yingzi at the water's edge gathered the shirt draped over his shoulders, followed two steps, and called: "Senior brother-" Seeing Zhang Yuan turn around, he said, "Where is Senior Brother going now?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I'm studying in Tianwa Nunnery, it's not far from here, I'll change my clothes when I go back, you might as well ——"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yuan shut up, because he saw Wang Jingshu coming from the end of the plank road, and it was not good to leave at this time, he couldn't advance or retreat, and he was embarrassed - Wang Jingshu suddenly saw a shirtless man standing by the wooden pavilion, and was taken aback, stood still, ready to call someone at any time, and when he saw that it was Zhang Yuan, he breathed a sigh of relief, and saw the baby standing on the side in a [***] Xiucai shirt, and was greatly surprised, and came over and asked: "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Yingzi said during Ai Ai: "I, I accidentally fell into the water, and it was Senior Brother Jie Zi who saved me." ”

Wang Jingshu looked at Zhang Yuan, and then at the baby's posture, it seemed that she was really in the water, but how did Zhang Yuan come, it was really weird, at this time, she was afraid that her sister would be embarrassed, so she didn't want to ask more, so she said: "Then hurry up and change your dress, don't catch a cold and suffer from the cold." looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "Zhang Gongzi also went to change his clothes together, I'll go see if my brother Binglin's clothes are here." Then he said, "My mother and three younger brothers are at the Yunzhi Pavilion."

Zhang Yuan suddenly felt that the mang was stabbed in the back, and the senior sister and the junior sister were just that, if the master knew that there was such an uninvited guest as him, he was afraid that he would be scolded bloody, so he hurriedly said: "Don't bother, I'll go back to Tianwa Nunnery to change clothes." ”

Wang Jingshu said slightly: "Zhang Gongzi's naked appearance is out of the garden, what can people say!" ”

Zhang Yuan was speechless, now that it was getting dark, he couldn't return to the bamboo forest by the stream, and then climb to the Half Moon Rock - Wang Jingshu suddenly said: "Oh no, the little brother is here, ah, my mother is also here." Hurriedly said to Zhang Yuan and Wang Yingzi: "Hurry up and avoid it, you can't let your mother see it like this, hurry up, hurry up, go here for a while." ”

Zhang Yuan was so devastated by Wang Jingshu, he quickly pulled Wang Yingzi's hand, and the two of them hid under the wooden pillar of the wooden pavilion near the water, half of the wooden pavilion was built on the shore, and the two stone pillars at the front end were propped up in the water, and Your Excellency had a small corner to accommodate - Wuling was pitiful, and there were no headless flies to jump around, and the place where His Excellency Mu could stand was limited, the young master and Miss Wang Er were inside, he was not good at squeezing in, looking left and right to find a hiding place, and finally "plopped" and jumped into the water, holding the stone pillar, and before he could take a breath, he heard the "knock" sound of the wooden plank above, A child ran up to him and asked, "Hey, what fell into the water, and there was a splash?" ”

Wang Jingshu said: "I lost a stone. ”

The child asked, "Is the big sister fishing, has you caught a fish, I'll go to the water's edge and take a look-"

Wang Jingshu grabbed and said: "Don't go to the water's edge, now it's dark, there will be water ghosts, as soon as the child arrives at the water's edge, the water ghost will jump out and drag the child into the water, are you afraid?" ”

I don't know which brother is Yingzi, I was scared, and hurriedly said: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, big sister, I'm not going to the water's edge." ”

Separated by a layer of wooden boards, Wang Yingzi in the dark corner of Lord Mu couldn't help laughing when she heard her sister intimidating her younger brother, and put her face against Zhang Yuan's left shoulder socket, and endured it hard, Your Excellency Mu was narrow, and the two of them had to be next to each other when they hid inside, and heard Wang Jingshu on the top of her head say: "You are good, it's okay if you don't go to the water's edge - why is my mother here?" ”

A middle-aged and elderly woman said, "It's getting dark, why are you still fishing, baby?" ”

Wang Jingshu said: "Yingzi went back to the pavilion, and I was about to go back, mother, then let's go back, let's have dinner." ”

A teenage child stood on a wooden platform and looked into the water and said, "Two sisters, it won't take long for a fish to arrive today." ”

Wu Ling, who was holding the wooden pillar in the water, hurriedly dived into the water and quietly turned to the inside of the stone pillar, so that he could not be seen from the wooden platform - Wang Jingshu hurriedly pulled the little brother back and said: "Mother, this wooden platform near the water must build a guardrail, otherwise it will be dangerous." ”

Mrs. Wang said: "It's useless for children to build guardrails, they can climb more, well, let's build one." ”

In the autumn sky, the twilight shrouded very quickly, the sky was still bright when Zhang Yuan went ashore, for a while, it was dark and dreary, the corner of the wooden pavilion was particularly dim, the clothes were wet with the smell of body temperature, some rapid breathing, and the body trembling slightly due to strange stimulation, and the strong ambiguous atmosphere made people unable to extricate themselves - Zhang Yuan was afraid of the cold, and hugged the infant sister who was already leaning on his arms, and heard the sound of the infant "boom", his arms climbed up, hooked his neck, and stood on tiptoe, the voice was very low and thin, but it was clearly audible——" Senior brother—"

"Huh?"

"Kiss me—"

“……”

"I don't know what it's like, I want my brother to kiss me-"

In this situation, Zhang Yuan bowed his head slightly, his fiery lips were printed, and he couldn't help but pick the tip of his tongue slightly, and the cloves were secretly crossed, entangled endlessly...... The voices on the floor slab have disappeared, and Wu Ling has climbed up like a water ghost [***], the two people in the dark corner are silent, Wu Ling called softly: "Young Master-" Only then did I hear the young master's rapid breathing, as well as Miss Wang Er's coquettish panting, Wu Ling couldn't help but think: "What are the young masters and Miss Wang Er doing, suddenly from silent to sound, are they holding their breath?" "This is really a realm that a child man can't imagine.

Zhang Yuan took Wang Yingzi's hand and walked out, feeling that Yingzi's hand was trembling, not only the hand, but the whole person was trembling, Zhang Yuan didn't care that Wuling was on the side, hugged Yingzi, and asked, "Senior sister, what's wrong, is it cold?" ”

Wang Yingzi's body was hot, and she shook her head and said, "It's not cold, my heart is happy, well, it turns out like this." ”

Zhang Yuan was silent, heartbroken and helpless.

Wang Yingzi took Zhang Yuan's hand and said: "Senior brother, don't think too much, prepare well for the township exam, senior brother said, senior brother's high school is my high school-" and said: "There is something to tell senior brother, I recently found some eight-share famous Qiu Qiu and Chun Lu Luodi exam papers, and found that there is a common denominator, that is, the first seven articles are of different advantages and disadvantages, the first article of the first art is the most energetic, and the best is naturally done, and the second article is also interested in the pen with the wonder, and the spirit of writing the third article is not continued, and the time is tight, and the spirit of fighting must also be done. So it's reasonable to do not do well - I remember my father once said to me, some people do the first question when they take the exam, and then they do the third question, and then come back to do the second question, the house official generally only looks at the first three of the seven articles, because they are all from the imperial examination, and it is normal to know that the last four articles are not energetic and deteriorating, and there is nothing to look at, only the first three articles are accurate, my father said that he was young when he took the exam, and he didn't feel that he was short of energy, but for some older candidates, this method is very useful, The house official read the first question of the whole house, and then looked at the second question, the second question was a little worse, which was a setback, and to the third question, it was full of flowers, and the natural spirit was lifted, so it was sold. ”

Zhang Yuan laughed out loud when he heard it, the tricks and methods of this imperial examination are really ubiquitous, so that changing the order of the composition can change the fate of the candidates, it seems ridiculous, but it contains an accurate grasp of the subtle psychology of the marking officer - these words Wang Yingzi could have told Zhang Yuan by writing a letter, but at this time he hurriedly said it, but it was to dilute the ambiguous atmosphere of Fang Cai - there was a sound of footsteps on the plank road again, Wuling probed his head and said: "It's Miss Wang, and there is a little girl." ”

Wang Yingzi squeezed Zhang Yuan's hand tightly and said, "Senior brother, I wish senior brother a good autumn and a successful spring, and my senior brother must be in high school." ”

Zhang Yuan said "um": "Do your best and leave no regrets." ”

Wang Jingshu came over and said, "Baby, hurry back and change your dress, Zhang Gongzi, this is my father's straight shirt, you wear it." As he spoke, he stripped off the shirt that Wang Yingzi was wearing and threw it to Wuling, and put a narrow-sleeved gown on Yingzi.

The little girl handed the straight jacket to Zhang Yuan, and then helped Wang Yingzi to walk back.

Zhang Yuan put on a straight jacket, and heard Wang Jingshu say in a low voice: "Zhang Jiezi, you have nothing to think about as a dignified man?" Do you really want my sister to be haggard for you for the rest of your life? ”

Wang Yingzi turned around and shouted, "Sister-"

Wang Jingshu smiled and said to Zhang Yuanwanfu: "I wish Zhang Gongzi Township to test high school." He turned around and went with Wang Yingzi.

When Zhang Yuan and Wuling went out of the gate of the garden, the garden keeper was very surprised, Zhang Yuan didn't wait for him to ask, and said: "I thought Teacher Wang was back, but he didn't come back-old man, didn't you see you when I entered the garden?" ”

The garden keeper surnamed Guan was a little confused by Zhang Yuan's words, and said in his heart: "Zhang Gongzi may have entered the garden when I was relieved before." Seeing Zhang Yuan's master and servant go out, he saw a little maid carrying a lantern and chasing him out, shouting, "Zhang Gongzi wait a minute." ”

The little maid handed the lantern to Zhang Yuan, panting and said, "The second lady showed the way for Zhang Gongzi, please be careful on the mountain road." ”
