Satisfied, he drank tea upstairs, and Mo Juzi took Xu Dong and Mo Yan to be late, and when he entered the house, he heard Mo Juzi say: "You are really satisfied, in such a big field, the story of Xu Dong will not spread throughout Chang'an City tomorrow!" ”

Xu Dong also looked bitter, looked at Xiangxin and forcibly squeezed out a smile and said, "Can this method work?" Don't be self-defeating! ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't believe themselves, he also said angrily: "You guys hurry in and watch the play, why do you talk so much, I was busy for so long yesterday to prepare this drama for you, you still dare to pick and choose!" ”

After saying that, he asked Lu Ran to get a pot of tea and pastries.

Mo Juzi looked at the room, smashed his mouth and said, "Satisfaction, did you ask me to install eavesdropping and listening tools in that teahouse in the south of the city before, just to open another teahouse?" ”

Cheng Xin glanced at him and didn't say anything, but opened the window, looked at the crowd below that had gathered a lot of people, and said, "Let's watch the play, I'll start talking at noon in a while!" ”

Seeing that he didn't care about himself, Mo Juzi poked his head to look at the crowd below, and said a little proudly: "Will they hear the story I told for a while?" Satisfied boy, you have to give me a pen fee! ”

Xiangxin rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but complain: "It's definitely not your story, what has become of me in your story, I definitely have to change it, you just have to eat tea with peace of mind!" ”

Although Mo Juzi was a little unhappy, he still couldn't help but complain, but looked at Xu Dongdao, who was a little nervous on the side: "What are you doing with this twisted appearance, don't you believe in your ability to be satisfied?" Besides, even if you are satisfied, even if you ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to say a few words casually, isn't it easy to help you promote this family affair! ”

Xu Dong nodded, but still didn't say anything.

The tea and pastries were eaten little by little, and the time finally came to noon, and the storyteller below also changed, the person just now was an apprentice, and he told the story told by the master yesterday afternoon, although it was repeated, but there were still people who were willing to listen.

When the master came to the stage, there was naturally thunderous applause, and people from all directions were shouting good, because according to the day, today should be the last word of the White Snake Legend.

However, everyone came from the outside and saw the sign, and when they saw the red words on it, they all knew that what we were going to tell today was not the story of the White Snake, but everyone was also looking forward to it.

When the applause subsided, the old gentleman picked up the startled wood and said an opening remarks for a while, and then fell heavily.

"The song is not straight and will bend in the end, it is difficult to raise wolves as dogs to watch the house, the ink dyes the cormorant black soon, and the whitewashed crow is not strong,

Candied yellow lotus is bitter in the end, and the melons and fruits can not be sweet, good things must be done by good people, and there are mortals who are immortals! ”

After the poem, everyone cheered, and the old gentleman's voice also came slowly: "I don't know if you still remember the spring festival a few months ago, there was a scholar named Xu Dong who entered the court with the method of miscellaneous learning, and even the emperor praised this person, but he was such an excellent young talent, but he was not recognized by Liu Shilang of the household department, Xu Dong and the girl of the Liu family made an appointment, but they were forcibly broken up by Liu Shilang, everyone knows what is going on!" ”

The audience naturally didn't know why, but when they heard Mr. Storyteller say this, they all aroused their curiosity, and they all stared at the stage with full attention.

Seeing that everyone's attention had shifted to himself, the old gentleman continued: "This matter has to start with an old case three years ago! ”

"It is said that Xu Dong traveled with his father when he was young, so he knew a lot of strange things, and his father's cultivation of him led to him having the opportunity to learn from Jinshi later, all of which can only be said to be a coincidence!"

"When traveling abroad, Xu Dong met Miss Liu who went out, Miss Liu did not dislike Xu Dong's background, but favored him, Xu Dong also fell in love with Miss Liu at first sight, it happened that Xu Dong was going to participate in the Spring Festival that year, so he promised Miss Liu, saying that he would marry her after he was admitted to fame, and the two of them made a vow!"

"Just when Xu Dong was reading at night, his father died in an accident, loyalty and filial piety dilemma, Xu Dong gave up the opportunity to participate in the Spring Festival that year, but for his father to keep the spirit for three years, he also asked someone to send a letter to Miss Liu, let Miss Liu wait for another three years, he believes that he will be named after three more years of study!"

Xu Dong's filial piety touched everyone, and everyone whispered about the truth of this matter, and some people heard about Xu Dong's wake for his father.

Only Mo Juzi looked at Cheng Xin with anger on his face and said: "Why did you delete the part where Xu Dong slept with Miss Liu, and what else to send a letter, it's too bloody!" ”

The old gentleman took a sip of tea and continued: "After all, this letter was not delivered to Miss Liu, and was stopped by Liu Shilang. And Xu Dong also found some problems when he was studying, and finally after investigation, he found that his father did not die in an accident, but died in the murder of others, and the person who murdered his father was the fourth in his state, Xu Dong's state had three places to go to Chang'an to participate in the Spring Festival, and they knew that Xu Dong was a person of filial piety, so they murdered Xu Dong's father. ”

"Someone is going to ask, why didn't you directly murder Xu Dong himself, but murdered his father instead? On the one hand, Xu Dong's father travels all year round, which is convenient for hands-on, and on the other hand, Xu Dong's identity is relatively special, and the way in which the government investigates the murder of a person and the murder of a civilian is also different, so they naturally choose a person with less risk to do it! ”

"Xu Dong investigated these after the filial piety period has expired, and he also successfully got the opportunity to go to Chang'an to gain fame, after coming to Chang'an, he found Liu's mansion as soon as possible, and wanted to meet Miss Liu to talk to her, but unfortunately Miss Liu didn't see it, but was driven out by Liu's family with a stick, and the bones in his left hand were broken!"

"Although I didn't see Miss Liu, Xu Dong didn't lose his mind, but found the hospital and used his last money to treat his handwriting, but everyone knows that it hurts his muscles and bones for a hundred days, and Xu Dong didn't heal his arm until the day of the Spring Festival, so he only wrote half of the questions during the Spring Festival exam and then didn't have the strength to write them down again, not because he was not talented, nor because he couldn't solve the questions, but because his arm couldn't support him to write it down!"

Speaking of which, all the people present were moved by Xu Dong's spirit, why would such a hard-working person be rejected by Liu Shilang.

In the attic on the third floor, Xiangxin and Mo Juzi looked at Xu Dong with a smile, as if they could see the injury on his arm, and Xu Dong looked at Xiangxin with an innocent face, so it means that it is obvious that this story was not made up by you? Look what I do!

The old gentleman looked at everyone's excited expressions, nodded with satisfaction and continued: "At this time, Xu Dong found that this year's way of taking scholars is different from the past, not only the test of the text, but also the way of miscellaneous learning, among which there is a geography question is Xu Dong's specialty, although the severe pain in the arm can not write clear handwriting, but it is still possible to draw a map, so Xu Dong with many years of travel with his father's ability, left an unprecedented map on the test paper, and he also relied on this map to successfully title the gold list, Everyone should have seen it when the gang order was announced! ”

The people in the audience were even more bustling, everyone was talking about what they had seen and heard, after all, Xu Dong was alone in the list of miscellaneous scholars, and everyone was shocked when the list was announced, and now I think about it There are so many stories that I don't know!

The old gentleman paused and then said, "Who proposed the miscellaneous scholar?" It was proposed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, and the person who criticized the paper was also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, and it happened that the Turks came to attack, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately decided to go out in person after discovering Xu Dong's talent, and took Xu Dong to the border with him, because his talent is very beneficial to the military! ”

"Everyone knows the final result, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince descended from heaven to save Jingzhou City, which is in danger of Jingzhou City, including Xu Dong's credit for providing a shortcut, and after coming back, Xu Dong also deservedly received a reward, from the original eight-rank official to the seven-grade Hanlin, the emperor's original intention was to let him go and repair his skills into the book, and he can also teach the next generation in the future!"

"Xu Dong also lived up to expectations, and soon left all his skills in the book, and by the way, he also helped His Royal Highness King Wei revise the "Chronicles of the Territory", His Royal Highness the Prince's Chongwen Pavilion knows it, Xu Dong is going to give a lecture in a few days, do you need to say more about this person's talent!"

As soon as the old gentleman's words came out, everyone was shocked, Chongwen Hall is a place where anyone can come to the Chongwen Pavilion, but it is not for the teacher, which of the teachers in the Chongwen Pavilion is not a big man with a head and a face, then this Xu Dong suddenly went over to give a lecture, it seems that he really has great ability!

After digesting everyone's surprised looks, the old gentleman continued: "But this is such a person, who went to Liu's Mansion repeatedly to propose marriage but was always rejected by Liu Shilang, such a person who is both talented and good-looking, loyal and righteous was rejected by Liu Shilang!" The reason for the refusal is even more ridiculous, saying that it is a disagreement, you must know that Xu Dong has never shown him his eight characters, he knows that the eight characters do not match! ”

The old gentleman looked at everyone's expressions, and then continued: "Speaking of Miss Liu, she has been waiting for Xu Dong to come to the house to propose marriage since she returned to Chang'an three years ago, and soon the spring of the year has passed, and there is no news of Xu Dong's title on the gold list outside, Miss Liu still thinks that Xu Dong is not admitted, and she is still thinking about how to comfort him, but her father Liu Shilang told her that Xu Dong did not come to the exam this year, and he should have married in his hometown!" Such a clumsy lie may have no effect on others, but for Miss Liu, who has lived in the mansion for a long time and can't go out, it is like a bolt from the blue! ”
