Chapter 8 Su Shi
οΌ
"It's the Su family." As soon as the door opened, a gentle girl dressed in a green skirt with pink on the top, a pale pink ribbon around her waist, and a double bun on her head, stood slim in front of Chen Chen, and asked softly, "I don't know what happened to this scholar?" β
"This little lady is invited," Chen Erlang only glanced at her, hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Xiaosheng's surname is Chen, a person from Qingshen County, and his father's name is Gongbi, because he came to Meishan because of something at home, and he came to your mansion to look for him, I don't know if he is ...... or not" He is usually not stupid, but somehow, when he talks today, he is entangled.
"You are Uncle Chen's son-in-law," Fortunately, the girl was smart enough to understand what he meant, so she smiled and said, "That's Brother Chen, please come in, Uncle Chen is writing with his father in the backyard." β
The girl's voice, as soft and amiable as the warm breeze of the West Lake, soothed the panic in Chen Erlang's heart, but made his heartbeat suddenly quicken, and he quickly calmed down, dressed up, and followed the girl into the courtyard.
There were two little boys standing by the pond in the courtyard, the eldest was ** years old and the younger was seven or eight years old, concentrating on fighting grass. Song people are good at gambling, young and old. This grass fighting drama is divided into martial arts and cultural fighting, generally boys play martial arts, and girls play cultural fighting. Martial arts is the simplest, when the spring grass grows, look for the favorite blades of grass, wrestle with each other, the tenacious one wins, and the broken one loses.
The two boys' sisters led the play, naturally Wendou. Earlier, she took her sister to the garden facing the street, picked a large handful of flowers and plants, raised them in a basin, and played with her two younger brothers...... It is required to report the name of the grass to each other in the form of a battle, who knows more grass seeds, has a high level of battle, and persists until the end, who wins.
As an older sister, it is mainly for entertaining and education, so naturally she will not go with her younger brother. So the two little boys lifted up the oxen,
This one picked up a willow branch and said, 'I have Guanyin willow'. Then he took a pine branch and said, 'I have a podocarpus.' The other one took another one and said, 'I have bells,' and the other said, 'I have drum flowers.'" Again: 'I have calendula', and the other one said nonchalantly, "This is a hosta......
When the elder sister led Chen in, the eldest brother picked up one and said, "I have brother flowers." β
"How do you call this a brother flower?" The little brother was dumbfounded: "It's obviously Chunmei." β
"Look at the plum blossoms, there are up and down, just like the two of us, one mother, I will come before you. Isn't it just a brother flower? The eldest brother Zhenzhen said.
"Such a brother flower, then my ......" The younger brother looked for it in the basin, picked up one and said, "This is a husband and wife spike." β
The two of them were vigorous, which made the six or seven-year-old girl on the side giggle and laugh: "According to what you say, if the flowers bloom big and small, they are called 'Lao Tzu's Son Flowers', and if the two flowers open on their backs, they can be called 'Enemy Flowers'?" β
The two elder brothers were flushed, and the older one ran over to twist his sister's mouth with a smile, so the two chased after him, and the younger sister saw the eldest sister, and hurriedly ran over and coquettishly said: "Sister, look at the eldest brother bullying me again." β
"Don't make a fuss, don't you see any guests?" The eldest sister smiled apologetically at Chen Chen and said, "Brother Shi smiled." β
"No, no, it makes my younger siblings think quickly, that naΓ―ve." Chen Chen stammered a little and said, "Xiaosheng is very envious. His embarrassed appearance made the little girl laugh.
The eldest sister glared at her, asked the two younger brothers to lead the guests to the guest hall to sit down, and led the younger sister to the study to invite 'Chen Shibo'.
In the study in the backyard, there is a portrait of the Eight Immortals Zhang Guolao hanging in the middle hall, the bookshelf, the desk, are full of books, two men in their thirties, each occupying one end of the desk, are struggling to write.
The one who is a little longer is the master here, Su Xun Su Laoquan, when he was young, he was a smart and strong memory but had a strong personality, and he did not obey discipline, he hated the exam-oriented education of this era, and liked to travel around.
But later, after getting the eldest son, I saw that my brother, my brother-in-law, and my two sisters-in-law had all succeeded in the scientific examination, and they were going to be officials, but they were doing nothing and still had to rely on their families to support them...... This kind of situation, even if it is a mediocre talent, will be stimulated, and it is naturally even more unbearable for a person who is gifted with superhuman intelligence.
He repented of Shaoguang's waste, spurred himself on, and began to study hard. Xie Qisu is a scoundrel who has been in contact with him, and he has been learning from scholars and gentlemen, and he has been studying behind closed doors for eight years.
But what you pay doesn't always pay off. In the past eight years, Su Laoquan has fallen off the list twice. This made him more and more reticent and eccentric, coupled with his independent mind and often surprising words, which naturally did not fit in with those scholars who paid attention to moderation.
Sitting opposite him was one of his few friends, surnamed Chen Xiliang Zigongbi, a native of Qingshen County, with a thin figure, a cold face, and eyes as clear as water, at first glance, he was an upright and determined person.
Chen Xiliang is not as young and wild as Su Xun, he is a person who is strict with himself, and he has worked hard since he was a child, but fate has played tricks, and the road to the imperial examination is very unsmooth.
He studied hard until he was twenty-two years old, and he felt that he was sure that he went to take the exam, and he went to Beijing smoothly, but on the eve of the spring of the next year, a funeral obituary called him back, and he could only wait for the next term.
Imperial examinations were not held on a regular basis, but according to the needs of the imperial court for officials, sometimes every year, sometimes for several years. Since the current official family succeeded to the throne, the number of officials in the world has been overcrowded, so the last few imperial examinations have been held four years apart.
So four years later, Chen Xiliang, who is already twenty-six years old, went to Beijing again, who knew that from that year, the examiner no longer re-examined the history of the policy, but focused on 'belonging to the sound law', and Chen Xiliang, who was not good at this, fell off the list.
On the way back to Shu, he met Su Xun, who was also not good at this way and fell off the list, two taciturn people who happened to live in the same cabin and could not say a word all day long. But before they disembarked, they became inseparable friends. In the years that followed, they often exchanged letters and studied together ...... way of 'belonging to the rhythm of sounds'.
Therefore, Su Xun told her daughter that when she played with her two younger brothers, she should also add a connection to the battle rhythm, which can be described as a painful experience.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After three years of hard study, Chen Xiliang was twenty-nine years old, and Su Laoquan was thirty-four years old, both of whom reached the age where they could not afford to lose. Therefore, as soon as spring began, Su Laoquan dragged Chen Xiliang and went to various places to participate in the poetry meeting of the Wenhui to improve the level of poetry in the exchange.
Chen Xiliang was not worried about the three children, but he thought that once he got rid of them, it would take more than a year to go, and the three children would still be taken care of by the eldest brother, so he said a lot of good things to his brother and sister-in-law, and repeatedly told his son to be obedient. Only then did he embark on a study tour with Su Xun.
Now that the two-month short study tour is over, there are still three days left, and he is going to the government to sign up, Chen Xiliang plans to go home immediately after signing up...... The solution of the Song Dynasty is not like a lifelong test in later generations, but only has one effect, if you do not pass the Jinshi, you have to take the solution test again next time. Although it should be easy for the two of them, Sichuan's culture has become more and more prosperous in recent years, how dare the two take it lightly.
was writing a pen, and there was a knock on the door outside, Su Xun frowned, put down the pen and said in a deep voice: "Who?" β
"Daddy, it's me."
"Ba Niang? Isn't it not called disturbing? When Su Xun heard that she was a sensible eldest daughter, her tone slowed down a lot: "What's the matter?" β
"Uncle Chen's son-in-law came, saying that he was looking for Uncle Shi in an emergency."
"My son," Chen Xiliang chuckled in his heart, put down his pen and said, "Brother Lao Quan, I'll go out and have a look." β
"Let's go." Other people's family affairs, Su Xun is not good to ask more.
Chen Xiliang stood up and followed Banniang to the front yard guest hall.
Chen Chen was speechless when asked by the Su brothers, and when he saw his father coming, he quickly got up and said, "Daddy, it's not ...... big deal."
Chen Xiliang raised his hand and motioned him not to say here: "Follow me back to the room." "This is not to hide from the master, but Dabi is imminent, if there is really something tricky, will the master help or not? If you help, it will affect the test, and if you don't help, you will feel uneasy, so simply don't let the owner know.
When he returned to the guest room and closed the door, Chen Chen told his father what happened at home: "The rumor said that San Lang almost killed his eldest mother and is now locked up." β
Chen Xiliang didn't believe it: "San Lang is so gentle, the kitten and the dog have to be rescued if they are injured, how can they hurt people, and it is your aunt who is injured?" β
"This ......" because Chen Chen is also hearsay, he is not sure, and when he asked, he suddenly stammered: "Anyway, the family is looking for my father everywhere, saying that if you don't go back, you will report to the official." β
"Report to the official......" Chen Xiliang pulled down his face, simply packed up his clothes, put them in a bamboo bookcase, put them on his back and said, "Let's go back!" After saying that, he went out and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Banniang was waiting in the courtyard, and when she saw Chen Xiliang's outfit, she was surprised: "Uncle Shi, are you leaving?" β
"Virtuous niece, Uncle Yu's family has an urgent matter, and he must go back immediately," Chen Xiliang hugged her fist and said, "It's too late to say goodbye to your father, please convey your apologies." With that, he shook off and strode out.
Banniang only had time to open her mouth when she saw him rolling over like a gust of wind......
Chen Chen apologized to her and said, "I'm sorry, my father is ...... this temper."
"Since there is an urgent matter, Brother Shi should follow quickly." Banniang smiled, and Fu Yifu said: "I hope that everything goes well with Brother Shi." β
"Thank you, thank you," Chen Chen took a deep look, and then went to chase his father in a panic, and almost hit the shadow wall.
