Chapter 144: Guests
After talking with Zhou Shize here, Su Yulong was worried and asked the palace women waiting on the side, and the question was whether they could come to the ghost city to listen to the class during non-teaching hours.
After asking the peach blossom demon, the woman in the palace costume gave him a satisfactory answer.
"Naturally, you can. If you want to come over in the future, just write your request on a piece of paper, burn it at the jade talisman, and we'll send someone to pick you up. ”
"That's great!"
The last big stone in his heart had fallen, and Su Yulong was very excited, and he became more and more attentive to his usual schoolwork.
He didn't rush back tonight, but stayed in the ghost town to listen carefully to Zhou Shize's lecture, and sure enough, it was all some basic content, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and it happened to be the content he needed. In this way, he listened more carefully and carefully, constantly combining the knowledge he had learned in his head to repeatedly combine, drawing inferences from one another, and constantly improving his original knowledge foundation......
The night passed, and at dawn the next day, Su Yulong trembled his eyelids and woke up from his own cattle pen again. At this time, the sky was still slightly bright, and it was just the time for him to get up to work at home, and if it was any later, I was afraid that his sister-in-law's curse would be poured into his ears again.
I probably feel that it is no longer possible to show talent in the exam, and Su Yulong is also extraordinarily energetic when he works today, and the smile on his face when he goes out to see the uncle and aunt next door is also extraordinarily bright, which makes others a little curious.
Although this Su Yulong is very polite on weekdays, but he is smiling so happily today, could it be that something good has happened?
Even the sister-in-law saw him like this, and muttered secretly in her heart, wondering if this kid had picked up money outside. Just looking at his thin body, he doesn't see a bit of meat on his body, and he doesn't look like a person who has picked up money.
I wanted to ask him to come over for interrogation, but seeing that he had already led the cow away, and her husband was staggering to get up to eat, she could only put aside her doubts for the time being, and hurriedly went to deal with her husband, who was constantly complaining about her rubbing.
Su Yulong returned to the bank of the river to herd cattle, while recalling the knowledge he learned from Zhou Shize's class last night, while writing casually on the muddy floor with a pen made of branches, after some aftertaste, he suddenly benefited a lot, and he was even more grateful to Zhou Shize in his heart, thinking that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely repay him well!
Only when he really went to class and listened to the teacher's explanation, many of his original knowledge that he had only half-understood by self-study were instantly integrated and much more organized.
And as far as he knew, since that Lord Zhou was an official of the imperial court, his knowledge must be very high, at least it should be higher than that of the master in the township, and the teachers in the school who are just talents should not be able to compare.
Thinking like this, he also felt very lucky, with such a good teacher to teach, then he should not live up to his kindness, and he should study harder.
After a long time, he basically finished reviewing what he had learned last night and integrated it, thinking that maybe he could go to the class again tonight, but when he looked up, he found that it was not early, and if he went back late, he was afraid that he would not be able to catch dinner.
It's just that when he was about to leave for home, his heart was empty, and he always felt as if something was missing.
"Didn't you come today......"
He turned his head and glanced into the distance, there was no familiar girl, and the original good mood in his heart was also a little lower.
Counting today, I haven't seen her for six consecutive days, and I can't help but miss her a little, and I don't know why she didn't come. Could it be that something is going on at home, or is it sick?
I was worried in my heart, but it was impossible for him to come to the door to find out the news, otherwise he was afraid that he would cause some trouble again. He himself knows his identity in his heart, maybe only Xiucai in the county examination can have some confidence to stand by her side.
At that point, there will be no more waiting days and dry days......
He subconsciously tightened his grip on the rope of the morning glory, and his eyes showed a little firmness.
"You have to work harder!"
But when he returned home, another accident happened.
At this time, the sister-in-law in the family made a rare table of banquets, with meat and fish, full of fragrance, and only on weekdays there would be such a sumptuous dish during the New Year or his brother's birthday, which really made Su Yulong, who had just entered the door and had not reacted, stunned for a while.
Could it be that I am confused, what is the major festival today?
Later, when he saw a few scholars dressed as scholars sitting in the room and laughing with his brother, he came back to his senses, and it turned out that several of his brother's guests had come.
My brother has always been good-looking, especially in front of these literati scholars he has befriended. Although his family background is weak, he must also pretend to be heroic, and no one will look down on him.
According to him, the scholars he made friends with are all talented, talented and eloquent, and in the future, they will not only show off their talents, but maybe there will be a few masters! At this time, be polite and make friends, if you wait for them to develop in the future, you can let them enjoy it with a little return!
After hearing this, although the sister-in-law still had some complaints, she didn't dare to say more, but she persuaded her to do so less often, but she was casually perfunctory by her brother and "knew" and passed.
Now, instead of restraining himself, his brother has become a little more generous, and this time he invited three scholars to his home at one time, and the dishes on the table have become more and more sumptuous.
Seeing this, Su Yulong subconsciously frowned. He knew that his brother had included all the Xie family's thank-you gifts, although he didn't know the specific amount, but he thought that the Xie family's family background should not be less.
Although my brother said that he used the money for his studies and the imperial examination, judging from his almost extravagant expenses in recent days, I am afraid that even if the Xie family gives a hundred taels of silver, it will not be enough at all.
He was worried in his heart, and his sister-in-law, who was still serving food, turned her head to see him and scolded in a low voice, "Come back so late, why don't you come and help!" Your brother is busy with big business, so don't disturb them! ”
For her, exam-related matters are crucial.
Although in the eyes of others at the moment, these scholars are just chatting, and the topics they talk about have nothing to do with academics, and they can vaguely hear that they are just some drama poems and other things.
It's just that these things are naturally not his turn to speak, and his brother can always find an excuse for these seemingly fun behaviors.
When it was time to eat, the sister-in-law returned to the kitchen to work, and several scholars sat down with a grin, one of them saw such a meal on the table, and couldn't help laughing, "Brother Su, I didn't expect that there are such a rich and good dishes in your home, but they are hidden and not revealed on weekdays, but it is not a gentleman's style!" ”
