Stir-fried chicken with ginger, pork belly with eight treasures, steamed fish, fried tofu with celery, steamed edamame with pickles, fried lotus root, Chinese cabbage, and a jar of rice wine. The guests Liu Wang invited for a drink today were the masters of the school. Liu Fuzi stroked his beard: "Yang Mingqing is a mediocre talent, it is said that it is rare to even touch a book over the years, and it is estimated that he can only know a few words now." However, Dongyun is stronger than his Lao Tzu, and he knows that diligence can make up for his clumsiness. ”

"What did Master say about this? Didn't you say that Brother Yang was a prodigy, and that he had been praised by the University of Science and Politics at the beginning. Liu Wang was puzzled that Yang Dongyun got a clumsy evaluation.

"Hehe, this is to blame on him. Dongyun's talent is good, but he shouldn't have taken the tricky path at the beginning and dragged the foundation badly. "Master Liu is very upright, but he also has a sense of regret.

Liu Wang gradually understood. It turned out that Yang Dongyun had made a few poems to gain the eyes of academic politics, and Yang Xiucai spent time on this, teaching Yang Dongyun to make some poems all day long and distribute them to everyone to gain fame. But how much open-mindedness a child has, when he was five or six years old, he wrote a "summer pond willow shade" and felt cute, and at the age of seven or eight, nine or ten years old, it was too dull and empty. However, those who have tried this kind of sweetness have become narrow and superficial, and they can't sink into reading and curing scriptures.

Li Fuzi stretched out his finger and dipped it in wine, and drew a few words on the table: "The most important thing is to get ahead in the imperial examination, and the scriptures must be solid; The second is talent, even if the article is broken and there is no new idea, it is desirable to write it steadily. The poems are just decorations, but unfortunately he fell behind at the beginning. ”

"This kid is just anxious, and has already asked me if I can end up next year, hehe, he is just a few more familiar with the scriptures than others, what is the use of knowing his meaning and not knowing his understanding? Looking at his talent, there is no problem with a show talent before the age of thirty, and it is not difficult if he can grow old. ”

Yang Dongyun is fifteen this year, and he is anxious because Xiucai under the age of 14 is a prodigy who can be written into the county government, and he can be called a handsome talent under the age of 18. But the road to the imperial examination is not a tour of the mountains and rivers, and it is difficult to travel a little chant into poetry, which is the pain of rolling nail boards. Which article boiled out by the imperial examination is not a word and a tear, a whip and a blood. Fame and fame are two different things.

Talking about the long and short is not only the right of the girl, but also the opportunity to comment on others in the name of the word, and several masters are full of energy and spittle. When the wine is dry, tea, and cold dishes are left, and they return drunk one by one, Liu Wang and a big fat man in a dark green brocade robe are left in the restaurant.

Feng Youcai clasped his hands on his high belly and asked slowly: "Lao Liu, are you taking a fancy to Yang Dongyun for your eldest girl?" Liu Wang found a pair of clean chopsticks, picked up a piece of bacon from the plate and chewed it, listening to the words of this old friend when he wore open crotch pants.

"If you want me to say that you can't make this business worth it," Feng Da Shopkeeper said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Yang Dongyun may have some talent, but his father is a fool, his mother is a splash, and his family is also very poor. I don't think their family understands economics, and the big girl is going to suffer. ”

Liu Wang didn't know why, but even if Feng Youcai's opinion was agreed with in his heart, he always wanted to refute: "I think it's good." I don't want Brother Yang to be too promising, we are a small family, and we can't afford to let him soar one day. I have earned a few pieces of furniture for most of my life, enough to give my two daughters a decent dowry, and enough to support myself and my old wife for a long time; So I don't have to rely on my daughter to do anything, I just want the two sisters to live smoothly, and Hemeimei. Let's just say that the Yang family, Yang Xiucai is confused, but he is a good person, and he can be sent away with wine and meat; Lu's family, which mother-in-law doesn't make things difficult for her daughter-in-law. ”

Although Yang Lu's reputation is a spicy thing in the neighborhood, Liu Wang doesn't care about this. His own daughter is not easy to get along with, and he even feels that Liu Zhi needs such a tough elder to discipline.

Feng Youcai laughed so much that the fat on his belly trembled a few times: "You willow mouth, you still say this." ”

"Feng Leprosy, don't think that if you become a master, I will forget the way you had leprosy when you were a child!" When Liu Wang was young, he was famous for being able to speak well among the big girls and little daughters-in-law in ten miles and eight towns, and he got the nickname Huazui, and Feng Youcai was obviously even more unhappy to hear the nickname that brought so much shadow as a child.

"Liu Huazui, you don't talk much! You say this and that, but I don't want your eldest girl to think it's good! If you tie up an unintentional pair, aren't you creating evil? ”

"Feng Letou, what do you know! Where are the daughters' families who choose their own men, and how many people have they seen when their little ladies are raised at home? It's nothing more than listening to some ridiculous stories in the playbook, shouldn't parents help them with their palms? I don't believe that your family is delicate, and you will follow her if you fall in love with a beggar. ”

"I'm really going with her, or what else will Lao Tzu do with a lot of money?"

Liu Wang looked at Feng Youcai's fat neck with a long stalk, and his heart was slightly filled with a kind of sourness of "rich people are qualified to be so willful". In the end, he let out a long sigh: "Forget it, Feng Letou, each has its own way, don't persuade me, I won't persuade you, it's all for the good of your children." ”

In the face of Feng Liuji's hesitation, Yang Lushi scolded Yang Xiucai in Luo Alley: "Didn't you say that the Liu family would agree immediately?" He has a little prodigal hoof in his house, and he has taken Qiao, what is there in my son who is not worthy of that prodigal hoof? My family showed some meaning, and his family should crawl over and kowtow. ”

Yang Xiucai is a person with a heart: "The Liu family is a woman, and the woman has to put up a little shelf, where is there a first marriage proposal that she agreed." What's more, our family didn't have much friendship before. If she mentions it again at the end of the year, her family will naturally agree. Didn't I say that Boss Liu, who else can his daughter marry? ”

The canopy has been painted a faint purple, Li Chun walked into a secluded place in the river water to wash his body, the river water was slightly cool, relieving the fatigue of the day. He was shirtless, wearing only a pair of calf nose pants, wet and sticking to his body, and there was a large patch of skin and flesh on both shoulders that was duller than the rest of the place, clearly the mark of bruises.

After taking a bath, Li Chun walked back to the shore, the thick willow tree hung long branches, this tree made his heart soft, he touched the long strip of the willow tree, and silently recited her name in his heart. Suddenly, I heard the laundry woman who returned late chattering and gossiping, "Ah, this time, Yang Xiucai's wife is not very angry, and she jumps at home every day, saying that Boss Liu of Fengliuji did not agree to his family's proposal, and scolded Miss Liu for being inappropriate at home, and looking for a wild man at a young age." ”

"What a wild man, it's Li Chun. Miss Liu has been familiar with Li Chun since she was a child, and Miss Feng often plays together, why didn't she dare to scold Miss Feng? It's not a persimmon picking up a soft pinch yet. ”

"There is no wind and no waves, in my opinion, Miss Liu is too impetuous, she is twelve or thirteen years old, and she is still so close to Li Chun. If I hadn't wanted such a daughter-in-law."

"Yes, although it is said that the Liu family is abundant. But the Yang family is a talent after all, and Brother Yang is really a man, but I'm afraid that I can't look down on the Liu family even more. ”
