Lao Xiucai was probably too excited, speaking of this, he was almost dancing, and by accident, the small wooden box in his hand flew out, and when Lao Xiucai exclaimed, Wei Changpan had already rushed out with his eyes, and just held it firmly in the palm of his hand in the moment before it landed.

The old Xiu, who rushed to Wei Changpan's side in three steps and two steps, saw Wei Changpan who fell to the ground with a gray face, but the small wooden box was still unharmed, and the yellow cedar wood that was made into a small box was still solid after so many years, but the silver lock was loosened like this, and the things in the box were exposed to the stars and the moon, as well as the eyes of the young man.

Lao Xiucai stroked his gray beard, which was already a few gray and black, and looked at the pendant in a daze.

This is jade, and it is not very good to grow water, but it is the young talent who was high-spirited and determined to pay for it in the middle of the company, and he can only afford it after emptying all the coils in his purse.

....

"I heard from the jade seller that jade can ward off evil spirits, a small thing, not worth much, bought on the street, I heard that you are not in good health, easy to be contaminated with evil spirits, so I will give it to you. The young Xiucai shyly handed the wooden box in his hand to the beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes.

He nervously listened to the joking discussion behind the beauty, which included the content of the hairpin, and the things that were taken out to give away, if it weren't inadvertently given to people, it really couldn't be seen that it was a fake.

The thin-skinned young Xiucai couldn't get off the stage at the moment, and his cheeks were also red, so he almost didn't directly confess that he was the one who gave away this dyed fake emerald hairpin.

It is no wonder that he did it on purpose, this Xiucai knew very little about things other than the books of the sages, and he met an unscrupulous dealer who was clever and unscrupulous, and actually spent more money than he did to buy the real thing.

The smiling beauty has many suitors in Wuhang City, and she is not inferior to the poor and sour talent who has not yet achieved her career. In Qingshan Town, it can be said that it is one of the richest families, and in the state city of Jiangzhou, it is difficult to compare even the children of third-rate families.

Even if he doesn't understand the world, he still knows these things, after coming out of the Gongyuan, he was dragged by the scholars of the same township in Qishan County to drink flower wine, and after swallowing the three quilts, his face was red and he was too strong to drink, so he said hello to the fellow villagers who were drinking freely with the girl in his arms, and went out to take a breath by himself.

In Wuhang City, the places to drink flower wine are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and one of his fellow villagers is the father of Jiaqishan County, with a wave of his hand, he covers all the expenses of drinking flower wine, and the places to go are naturally counted in Wuhang City.

With such a big man who is willing to pay money, the rest of the fellow villagers in Qishan County will be active, and two of them know that the imperial examination is hopeless, so they flatter this rich fellow villager in every way on weekdays, intending to go to the rich father of this scholar to get a rich errand after returning home.

He doesn't have the consciousness to be in the same stream with these people, but he can't bear the face of being a fellow villager, and many people who claim to be fellow villagers still have to go to the scene, but they just show up at the end of the day.

Over time, these fellow villagers are a little unaccustomed to his self-esteem, but as the most promising high school student in the township, this is not enough to show on the table.

Opening the window on the corridor, he felt that the suffocation in his chest had improved, sighed, dressed up, and was about to turn around and go back to accompany those fellow villagers, at least when he got three rounds of wine and five flavors, he could find an excuse to leave.

Before turning around, he looked out the window, a meandering river through the city separated the pavilion from the tribute courtyard on the other side of the river, and the fireworks and the fragrance of pen and ink across the river, I don't know whether the former was disgusted with the latter's pedantry or the latter was tired of the former's frivolity.

Jiangzhou Gongyuan can only be overcrowded for a few days every year for the township test, and the rest of the days are mostly full of people, and this moment is no exception.

Looking up at the dark and silent Gongyuan, and the gold dust gathering and the brilliant lights here, in the night of August in Jiangzhou, it is like the difference between day and night.

He didn't have any interest in enjoying the scenery in the Gongyuan, and he didn't want to go back to drink with those fellow villagers right away, and then hug a woman casually when he was drunk.

Xu is the sage teachings in his mind are doing worship, or the little bit of book business in his heart is about to move, he can't help but sigh:

"The land of smoke and moon is obscene, why is it the opposite of the tribute court. ”

In fact, this statement is greatly biased among the soldiers of Da Yao, and it is my generation to do it.

"There are a lot of people in the Gongyuan who come to this place of smoke and moon. ”

There was a woman behind the young Xiucai who retorted, and after thinking for a while, he felt that this statement was actually reasonable, and since he was also here as a member of the Gongyuan, there was no reason to say this.

Knowing that he was speechless, he turned around and bowed his head to the woman, as an apology for his previous words.

When he raised his head, he was shocked by the scene in front of him that seemed to be the stars and the moon, and at a glance he could see that the family with extraordinary bearing was actually quite a few in Wuhang City, and he had really seen a few, but now dozens of them appeared together, like stars, guarding the moon in it.

The previous speech was this round of dazzling moons.

The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance.

When his soul repossessed his body, he could only feel the faint incense in the air, although it was light, it was incompatible with the precious incense on the dozens of scholars.

The rich family of Qishan County, when he goes to the biggest place to drink flower wine in Wuhang City, he can only find those most ordinary women to accompany him, if the other women here are flowers, then she is undoubtedly the leader of the flowers.

Later, he learned about this, and after drinking this flower wine in a uncertain state, he asked his fellow villagers, and those scholars in Qishan County thought that this boy who read the books of sages and sages had finally opened his mind, and he knew that everything was endless.

Perhaps it is to make people, when the main examiner of the Jiangzhou Gongyuan also drank flower wine here, and learned that the scholars of Qishan County were here, the impression of the candidates in this place suddenly plummeted, and when the papers were reviewed the next day, all the papers marked with the students of Qishan County were awarded to the inferior, in short, there was no hope of being on the list.

The young Xiucai, who was still completely ignorant of this, was already familiar with her, knew her surname Chen, gave her a hairpin, and she personally sewed a Confucian shirt in return.

If this is known to the big and small families in Wuhang City, they will have to grit their teeth with hatred for him.

Young Xiu did not return to his hometown, but thought that when he became famous, would it be good to go back to Wuhang to marry her?

He retracted his thoughts, his eyes were shining, the lights were dim, she lifted the hem of her skirt, she was laughing, she was smiling at him.

Old Xiucai's eyes were cloudy.

But the man was in the dim lamp.
