The consensus reached by this group of students is: He Mintao will try or play wrongly, why did he only take the eighth place in the exam? There are only ten prefectures in the entire Quzhou, and the province Xie Yuan pulled the Quanzhou to take the test, and only took the eighth, which is not a very glorious thing, can it be said that Jicheng Mansion or Quzhou is the bottom of the rankings?

Immediately after someone said, He Jieyuan's mistake was mainly on the words, and the words were suddenly tested before the exam, which made people completely unprepared, and the people who took the exam in Huichang City at that time were all means, and I heard that Li Pingbo and Confucianism of the Beijing Gongyuan were specially invited to come over, and gave advice to the students who had a relationship, and the top three Lin Su, Qiu Zixiu, and Li Yezhou were all the people he focused on, so the three of them won the top three.

I see, so how can he solve the yuan...... What should he do about Xie Yuan? More than four months later, it's the palace test, he can't sit still, right?

Some people laughed, let's rest assured, He Jieyuan is from Hejiazhuang, what is Hejiazhuang? He had already entered Beijing yesterday, and another Confucian from the Gongyuan in the capital promised his parents to let He Jieyuan come to his mansion for the New Year. Do you know who he is? The Great Confucian King of Poetry is an adult!

Poetry and Confucianism? Is it better than Li Pingbo's Confucianism?

Of course, he is a great Confucian of poetry, the essence of poetry is one, and his understanding of words and Taoism, I am afraid that there are few people in the whole world who are stronger than him.

He got along with such a big Confucian for four and a half months! Hehe, what kind of miracle do you think?

"Did you hear that?" Dark Night whispered: "Everyone is busy making up words, how do you arrange it?" ”

"I'm busy playing with my daughter-in-law!"

Dark Night slapped his hand away from him, glaring at him, with more white eyes than black eyes: "How did I meet a rascal like you who is not enterprising......

"I'm not an ordinary hooligan, I'm a genius hooligan, geniuses don't need to think ahead, I prefer to stand on top of other people's heads, looking at others full of unconvinced but helpless looks......"

The night choked.

I won't tell you, anyway, if you can't pass the palace test, I won't call you Xianggong......

Lin Su grabbed her thighs and played slowly, if you don't call me Xianggong, I will still play with you......

Night's hand lifted, shoved a piece of meat into his mouth, and gagged his mouth.

The conversation next door has new content, and there is another person in Jicheng Mansion, which is really a lucky star. Although he is a lucky star, why is he a joke no matter how I think of him?

The person next to him said, Brother Yao is talking about...... Born in the river beach of the homeless people, he stepped on the tail of the examination and became the last Zeng Shigui in the examination, right?

Exactly, Zeng Shigui is really a legend, from a humble background, studied hard in the cold kiln for seven years, and squeezed into the lucky list of the examination, and was favored by a rich man afterwards, and helped him with thousands of taels of silver, but it must be said, people, sometimes the mud can't support the wall, you say that you take these thousands of taels of silver to ask a good teacher to make up for a class, or spend some money to pull a few high-ranking officials, but how necessary? How did he do it? actually took out all the thousands of taels of silver and gave them to those homeless people, isn't this brain-dead?

Who's to say it isn't? His father-in-law couldn't bear it, but he still drove him away, I heard that the couple rented a dilapidated house in the east of the city, and there was no oil lamp at night. Obviously have the opportunity to turn over and force himself to death, how many times have you ever seen such a person?

"Reincarnation Paradise"

Lin Su had a piece of meat in his mouth, and suddenly stopped chewing, his eyes were a little strange.

"What's wrong with ......"

"Tomorrow, come with me to see a friend!"

"Xie Yuan of Jicheng Mansion? But you may not have heard clearly, they said that He Xie Yuan had already entered Beijing yesterday. ”

Lin Su said: "What I want to see is Zeng Shigui...... I almost forgot that he was also from Jicheng Mansion. ”

"That student who is at the bottom of the rankings, who is obviously poor and spends a lot of money?" The night was so surprising.

"Do you know who the rich man who has taken a fancy to him is? It's me! Lin Su sighed: "This kid is a headache, take my money and spend a lot of money, look at this posture, my investment is going to be wasted." ”

Dark Night despised him: "You are indeed very talented in literature, but you really can't look at people." ”

Lin Su glared at her: "You are also the person I fancie, if you dare to say that I can't look at people, you just scold yourself for not being good......"

Dark Night slapped himself on the head and surrendered

……

In the east of Jicheng City, it snowed heavily all night, the old snow on the streets did not go, the new snow came again, in the cold wind, there were still snowflakes, and the heavy clouds in the sky were still like being drenched with pig iron, and there was no sign of half a minute of clearing.

On the wall of the courtyard outside, the snow was more than a foot high, and in the small courtyard, a few branches were broken on the ground, which were crushed by the snow.

Xiuniang got up from the bed that had slept all night and still hadn't slept hot, stepped on the ground, suddenly felt lightheaded, and almost fell headlong, but she urgently pressed the desk next to her and firmly positioned herself.

Xianggong is still sleeping, so he can't be noisy.

Walking out of the bedroom, a cold wind blew, and she shivered involuntarily, oh my God, is it a cold? Please, God, don't make me sick.

At least for four months, don't let me fall, I can't affect Xianggong's palace exam, I can't miss his future, wait until he is named on the gold list, the day when the ancestors are glorious, even if I die, it doesn't matter.

She came to the dilapidated kitchen, uncovered the jar of rice, there was a small half jar of rice in it, look at the stove, she frowned, the firewood under the stove is almost gone, this heavy snow covers the mountain, there is no woodcutter, at most tomorrow, there will be no firewood at home, even if there is no firewood, even if there is rice, Xianggong can't eat a mouthful of hot porridge, the weather is cold, how can I stand it?

I have to ask my mother's family for help.

Her mother's house was not far from here, and it was also in the east of the city, but she couldn't open her mouth.

When she and her husband returned to their parents' house, they really got a different look from their father and brother, but after learning that their husband transferred the thousand taels of silver sent by Engong to the riverside homeless, his father turned his face and scolded his husband for not being able to support the wall in the mud, and he was a pariah in his bones!

The husband left home in a fit of anger, and she naturally had to follow.

It was still her mother's little sister who couldn't bear her sister starving to death, so she quietly sent a bag of rice over, and she insisted until now.

The husband gave the money to the homeless, and she actually agreed, because what the husband said......

The husband said that he was born in Jiangtan, his parents starved to death, he was a three-year-old child who was able to survive in Jiangtan, he was raised by Jiangtan's fathers and me, he ate 100 family meals, wore 100 family clothes, other children in Jiangtan could not read, but he, a fatherless and motherless child, embarked on the road of studying.

Now that he has been lifted, and the people on the river beach are facing a harsh winter with no food and clothing, can he watch them die?

Yes, what the husband did was what Xiuniang wanted to see, but husband, you should also leave a little bit for yourself, even if you only leave ten taels of silver, it is better than having nothing now.

Maybe what the husband said is still right.

Ten taels of silver, we can survive this winter in peace, but do you know Xiuniang? Ten taels of silver on the river beach can allow at least thirty people to survive.

Xiuniang sighed softly, and said silently in her heart, Husband, you are right, we are at least alive now, and Jiangtan, there was a heavy snowfall last night, and I don't know how many people died in the snow.

The porridge was cooked and fragrant, Xiuniang took the porridge into the room, and Zeng Shigui sat in the room.

"Husband, drink porridge!" Xiuniang put aside her distractions, smiled and handed the porridge to him.

"Come, you drink half of it, I'll drink it again!"

Xiuniang was slightly stunned......

"Don't forget, I already own Wenshan, I found out yesterday, you didn't eat at night at all, this morning, you have to give me food!"

Xiuniang's heart swelled with sweetness: "Husband, ......"

"Drink!"

Good! Xiuniang drank half of it, and Zeng Shigui drank the rest.

After a bowl of porridge, Zeng Shigui said softly: "Is there no rice?" ”

"It's not! Rice is still a little ...... It is...... There's just no firewood, husband, I'll go back to my mother's house later......"

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the courtyard outside.

"Who's coming here in this wind and snow?"

Xiuniang got up and came to the courtyard, and there were two people standing outside the courtyard gate, one dressed as a scribe and the other dressed as a maid......

"The two are ......," Xiuniang slowly approached.

"Xiuniang, is Brother Zeng here?"

Xiuniang's heart jumped, her eyes fell on Lin Su's face, and she suddenly shouted: "Lin Gongzi! How are you? …… Husband, husband, Haining's Lin Gongzi is here! ”

With a bang, the chairs in the bedroom inside knocked over, Zeng Shigui rushed out, stepped across the courtyard, and came to Lin Su: "Brother Lin, is it really you?" ”

Lin Su's gaze fell on Zeng Shigui's feet and smiled: "Brother Zeng, how do you say a word?" Greeting! Brother Zeng is very subversive, he just greeted him barefoot......"

Zeng Shigui opened the courtyard door and bowed deeply: "Brother Lin, I really didn't expect that with such a strong wind and snow, Brother Lin would actually be able to come over from Haining...... This is ......"

Dark Night just wanted to say that I was the maid of the child......

But Lin Su replied directly: "This is my lady!" ”

Zeng Shigui bowed deeply: "I've seen my sister-in-law!" ”

Dumbfounded in the dark......

Wife? How dare you say this in front of others? Do you know what it means to be a lady?

It means the official name, don't you understand this as a famous person......

"Brother Lin, please! Mrs. Sister-in-law, please! Zeng Shigui counted it as first-class, even if he stood barefoot in the snow, he still put on a rigorous welcome posture.

Entering the Zeng family's hut, Xiuniang sent the freshly cooked tea over, and also greeted the dark night.

"Brother Zeng, I said goodbye to Chang that day, and I also said that if there is any difficulty, you might as well pass on the book to Hongyan, but I haven't received your Hongyan."

Zeng Shigui said with a smile: "The main reason is that I am afraid of disturbing Brother Lin's homework...... I don't know that Brother Lin suddenly came to Jicheng today, but he has something important? ”

"I don't really have anything to do, it's just a whim, traveling around the rivers and lakes."

"Travelling? Brother Lin is really free and easy, at this juncture, he actually travels the rivers and lakes, and he is the only one in the world...... By the way, the younger brother wrote a few poems a few days ago, and he was also thinking about showing Brother Lin, Brother Lin came to visit today, just to ask everyone for advice......"

"That's great, show me it."

Zeng Shigui brought a few pages of the manuscript, and Lin Su read it carefully......

Xiuniang quietly walked out of the room.

Lin Gongzi came from afar and helped his husband revise the script, what kind of morality is this?

In any case, I have to keep my son and his wife for a meal and a glass of wine......

Lin Su read the manuscript carefully, and sat next to him in the dark without squinting, but suddenly, her face changed slightly......

Lin Su picked up the pen and circled a few circles on the manuscript: "Brother Zeng, there is a lack of poetry here, the setting sun is a kind of quiet artistic conception, and you are portraying too strongly...... Here, the words are inappropriate...... Here are ......" four words, and Lin Su pointed out seventeen places.

Zeng Shigui stood up and bowed: "Brother Lin's guidance is like seeing the sun through the clouds, if it weren't for our brotherhood, the younger brother really wanted to worship him as a teacher!" ”

"Brother Zeng doesn't have to be like this, my brother and I also communicate like this, go straight to the point, change it if it's inappropriate, and ......approve it again if it is changed."

"Okay, little brother will change it now, and Brother Lin will sit down for the time being."

Zeng Shigui retreated to the desk behind him and muttered and changed his words.

The dark night's mouth quietly moved to Lin Su's ear: "Xiuniang went out to borrow money, but she didn't borrow three of them, and the fourth one only borrowed five dollars of silver." ”

People sit at home and monitor their surroundings, this is the strongest skill in the dark night.

Lin Su's heart was shocked, he came to Zeng Shigui's house, which was a big help to Zeng Shigui, at least he could improve his words a lot, but for Xiuniang, it was a big test, Xiuniang was a woman who knew how to repay her kindness, and she didn't even want face in order to receive them......

Xiuniang came back, bringing back a piece of meat, vegetables, and a pot of wine.

These things are probably worth two or three dollars.

Entering the courtyard, Xiuniang began to work in the kitchen......

There was another knock on the door outside......

Xiuniang ran to the courtyard gate, and in the wind and snow, there was a woman standing.

"Mei Niang......" Xiuniang was slightly startled.

The person who came was her maiden sister, Mei Niang.

"Sister, I'll send you something......"

"What?"

"This thing is amazing, what has just been transported from Haining is a heating artifact, called coal! The snow in front of you is covering the mountain, your firewood must be gone, with this thing, you can still last a few days, come, I will teach you how to use it......"

The two girls went into the kitchen, and Mei Niang took out ten black briquettes from the bag......

Suddenly, the courtyard door was violently kicked open, and the movement was so loud that Zeng Shigui, who was pondering, was alarmed.

Before he reached the steps, he saw a young man and two family members rushing in from outside.

"It turned out that the eldest brother had arrived, and I had seen the eldest brother!" Zeng Shigui hurriedly bowed, the person who came was Xiuniang's brother Chen Chong.

"I'm not here to see you today!" Chen Chong shouted angrily: "Mei Niang, come out for me!" ”

Xiuniang and Mei Niang came out of the kitchen at the same time, and their faces changed......

"Mei Niang, you are a slut who eats inside and out, hand over all the treasures given by the second aunt to me! If there is one less, you won't want to enter the door of the Chen family. ”

Mei Niang was anxious: "Big brother! The third sister's family has no firewood, and she is about to freeze to death, no matter what she says, she is always the flesh and blood of the Chen family, it is you and my sister, this is life-saving, big brother......"

"Normally, you quietly help these two white-eyed wolves, but do you know what you are taking today? This is the treasure of the second aunt's filial piety to his father, one is worth two dollars of silver, and the second aunt only gave a total of twenty, you take half of it, like words? Give it to them, do they deserve it? Come...... Search me all the stuff. ”

The two family members in the back responded, went into the kitchen, and took a few briquettes inside, and carried them out.
