Chapter 17 First Strikes First
This Peng Xuan Shao Zhiqiu is acquainted! At this moment, Peng Xuan is just in his twenties, Shao Zhiqiu's heart is quite complicated, in his previous life, Peng Xuan was the fourth prince and his relied on staff, and he did not pass this subject, and Peng Xuan never participated in the imperial examination after that.
It is said that he was embarrassed after falling off the list, he was beaten with a stick, broke his leg after drinking too much, and his career was hopeless and poor, and he was later rescued by the four princes, and the four princes appreciated him, so he was loyal and served.
But looking at him like this today, he doesn't look like a person who will drink too much because of falling off the list, could it be that there is something else inside?
This Peng Xuan said that he was alone, didn't he have parents and family?
"Brother Pengxuan, don't take it to heart, since ancient times, the scientific examination has been difficult, and your township test is the first time, and now I will go back and study hard for three years, and I will definitely be able to pass the exam after three years."
"I'm afraid it's difficult!" Peng Xuan smiled wryly.
"I'm a poor student, it's not easy to be able to study so far, how can I just care about reading the books of the sages and ignoring the things outside the window. Livelihoods are struggling. ”
"Hey, too, we poor students all have our own difficulties."
"The heavens will descend on the Si people, and it is inevitable to suffer." Peng Xuan laughed and laughed at himself.
This person is so open-minded, it is no wonder that even if his career is hopeless, he finally becomes a person who lifts weights like a lightweight.
Such a person must no longer fall into the hands of the Four Princes!
Shao Zhiqiu is pondering, how can she break the right hand of the fourth prince, she can't do the murder now, one has no manpower, and the other is not ruthless. Especially if she has no grievances with her. Thinking of this, Shao Zhiqiu secretly scolded her for her woman's kindness, but there was nothing she could do for the time being.
Thinking about it left and right, she can only ask Shao Zexuan to be, but how to ask for it?
looked at Shao Zexuan's expression, and thought that he had heard the conversation between these people, this Peng Xuan didn't talk about learning first, but in terms of bearing, Shao Zexuan also appreciated it, although Shao Zexuan was also a scholar, but he was also a person who practiced martial arts, and he couldn't look down on some students who read dead books.
"Big brother! That person is in trouble now! Shao Zhiqiu tugged at Shao Zexuan's sleeve.
Shao Zexuan nodded. But he didn't answer.
"The ancients did a good deed every day, and accumulated good deeds! And listening to him, he has an open-minded and sunny personality, so why don't we help him! ”
Shao Zexuan also had a good impression of this candidate named Peng Xuan, so he called Erbao and whispered to Erbao to give him some silver taels, but was stopped by Shao Zhiqiu in a hurry.
"Brother, you can't do this! No matter how people say it, he is also a reader! Scholars are proud! What if you give the money directly and he doesn't take it? ”
Shao Zexuan was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that the Gaomen family gave more silver to the students of the poor family, and he didn't see any student who was arrogant and didn't accept money, these four sisters are afraid that they are not reading crookedly?
"Don't get in the way, a Xinxin student, I let Erbao only say that he admires knowledge, and he will not be dissatisfied."
Shao Zhiqiu didn't want to give the silver like this, if so, then her thoughts would be in vain!
"Then let's make a bet!" Shao Zhiqiu was in a hurry to give birth to wisdom.
"Bet on what?" Shao Zexuan was interested and wanted to see what Shao Zhiqiu wanted to do.
"Well, bet he won't take the money!" Shao Zhiqiu Road.
"What's the gambling method?"
"If he takes the money, then I lose! When I got home, I copied my eldest brother's ancestral notes! Shao Zhiqiu thought about seeing Shao Zexuan copying books a few days ago, gritted her teeth, and said with great determination.
"Just those two strokes of yours!" Looking at her appearance, Shao Zexuan couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
Shao Zhiqiu straightened her eyebrows, almost annoyed, Shao Zexuan hurriedly put away her smile and asked her again.
"And if he hadn't taken my money, and you wouldn't have won?"
"Well, that... That means he's a proud man, and you'll have to find another way to help him! "Shao Zhiqiu is kind and seductive.
"Good! It's up to you! ”
Shao Zexuan called Erbao and told him to speak politely, so as not to make the candidate feel embarrassed and lose his dignity.
Erbao responded to the errand, and Shao Zexuan and the others continued to eat tea, waiting for the result.
Not to mention how the candidates marveled at Peng Xuan's coming to the road, Peng Xuan took the silver handed over by Erbao, and only asked where Erbao's master is now, and if he can recommend it.
Erbao Quan did his errand, and his son-in-law won, and happily led Peng Xuan to Shao Zexuan.
"Childe, this son wants to see you." Erbao replied.
"Thank you for your kindness, Peng Xuan has thanked me here."
Shao Zhiqiu was very unhappy! This Peng Xuan is really bent down, forget it, such a person, let's think about dealing with it again, I can't ask the four princes to go again, but I don't want to win it anymore.
Shao Zexuan won the bet, he was happy, and he didn't despise him because Peng Xuan took the silver, but politely returned the gift.
"Brother Peng Xuan doesn't have to be polite, it is inevitable that it will be difficult to go out for a while, and Brother Tai and I have a word, so I lend a hand."
Seeing that Peng Xuan was puzzled, Shao Zexuan laughed again.
"Under the surname Shao, the name Zexuan."
Peng Xuan suddenly realized, bowed again, and said fate.
Shao Zhiqiu listened crookedly, thank you too, take the silver and leave! Why are you still talking!
Shao Zexuan saw that Peng Xuan had no intention of leaving, so he politely invited him to sit down and drink together, but he politely refused.
"Originally, Peng Xuan only thought that the son did good, but he didn't expect that there was the beauty of this word, but he still had to live up to it, as the saying goes, no merit is not good, Peng Xuan sees himself as a little talented, and the seven-foot man is strong and healthy, he should never borrow the name of a scholar to do easy things, and I hope that Shao Gongzi will forgive me." As he spoke, he offered the silver in his hands.
Originally, Shao Zhiqiu was already lying on the table, twisting his head and not wanting to look at Peng Xuan again, but when he heard such words, he sat up straight from the table.
Shao Zexuan was originally surprised by Peng Xuan's change, but when he saw Shao Zhiqiu's attitude, he burst out laughing.
Peng Xuan was a little dazed by the brother and sister, and he didn't know what was wrong with him, so he couldn't hold it for a while.
Shao Zexuan, who was glared at by Shao Zhiqiu several times, hurriedly suppressed his laughter, and saluted Peng Xuan to say offended.
"Brother Peng Xuan, please sit down and talk in detail." Shao Zexuan gave way.
Peng Xuan, who wanted to refuse, was pressed onto the stool by Shao Zhiqiu, who jumped off the chair, and he was always difficult to struggle with a child, so he sat down.
"I'm so sorry, she... The younger brother is young, please Haihan. ”
"Childe is serious!"
Shao Zhiqiu: This is helpless! It's really troublesome for this reader to speak...
"Actually, there is another hidden reason in this matter, I said that I would compensate Brother Peng Xuan first, and I hope that Brother Peng Xuan will not misunderstand."
"Where!"
"The two of us brothers had tea here, and inadvertently heard the conversation between the brother and the friend, and felt that Brother Peng Xuan was open-minded and cheerful, and he was a lover, so he raised the heart of friendship, and he thought about things simply, and only thought about giving some silver taels to get a brother, but he was given up... My brother stopped. Shao Zexuan almost missed his mouth a few times.
"Oh?" Peng Xuan looked at the little boy who pushed him to sit suspiciously, and he was only seven or eight years old. Listen to Shao Zexuan again.
"Brother Shei said that Brother Tai is a proud person, and he will not accept my money for nothing, and he made a bet with me. If she loses, she will copy more than 20 books for me, which shows that she still knows people very well. ”
"Then what if Young Master Shao loses?" Peng Xuan was a little unhappy, but he felt that the Shao family brothers were willing to explain the matter, which could be regarded as above board. And people are kind enough, if they take the money and leave, they will be cheap.
