Before the big exam, the exams from all over the country have come to the capital one after another, and all kinds of poetry meetings and literary meetings have been held more and more frequently.

On this day, Zhang Xiu was writing a script in the yard, and was writing about Lin Daiyu's punching of the town of Guanxi, when footsteps suddenly sounded at the door, and when he looked up, Li Ji had a cheerful face and led a handsome young man in.

It was the first time for Zhang Xiu to see him bring his friend home, and he was a little surprised: "Why didn't you go to Ke'er today?" ”

Li Ji smiled: "On the way there, I met a friend, Brother Tao, this is the teacher who taught me to read, Mr. Zhang." ”

The young man took a few steps forward, smiled and saluted: "Senior Tao Saburo, I've seen Mr. Zhang!" ”

Getting closer, Zhang Xiu smelled a faint fragrance on his body, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why is your body so fragrant, what do you do?" ”

Tao Saburo smiled faintly: "The younger generation makes a living by selling chrysanthemums. ”

Zhang Xiu's brows furrowed slightly, and her face became a little complicated.

Tao Saburo seemed to have long been accustomed to Zhang Xiu's reaction, and said without humility or arrogance: "It seems that Mr. thinks that chrysanthemums are elegant things, and it is insulting for the younger generation to sell chrysanthemums." As everyone knows, self-reliance is not greed, selling flowers for business is not vulgar, although a person cannot use improper means to make profits, but there is no need to pursue poverty. ”

Zhang Xiu's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said, "I just want to know, the chrysanthemum you sell, is it a serious chrysanthemum?" ”

Tao Saburo: "@#¥%¥#@......"

Tao Saburo sells serious chrysanthemums, he and his sister Huang Ying are very skilled in planting chrysanthemums, and the various chrysanthemums they grow compete with each other, which makes people dizzy.

Taking advantage of the approaching big exam, the sister and brother came to the capital, specializing in planting chrysanthemums, selling chrysanthemums to those vassal and elegant scholars, and earning a lot of silver.

Li Ji passed by their flower shop, attracted by the bright chrysanthemums, and stopped for a moment.

Tao Saburo stepped forward to talk, and learned that he was going to find his beloved girl, and enthusiastically recommended him to bring a few bouquets of flowers to Hu Keer. The two came and went, and they became acquainted.

Li Ji told the two of them how they met in a few words, and humbly asked Zhang Xiu for advice: "Teacher, what kind of flowers do you think Miss Ke'er will like?" ”

Zhang Xiu thought for a while and said, "Why don't you give her two buckets of popcorn?" ”

Li Ji: "......"

Looking at Li Ji's messy appearance, Zhang Xiu rolled his eyes slightly.

Hu Ke'er is a little fox, how can she like tweed, it's really better to give her two buckets of popcorn......

Leaving behind the two who continued to negotiate, Zhang Xiu took the written notebook and came to a teahouse.

When the young storyteller got the book, he was moved to tears, knelt down to the west and shouted in a mournful voice, "Fifty years...... Grandpa, the script you chased has finally been updated again! ”

The storyteller was so excited that he couldn't help himself, but Zhang Xiu took the silver and came to the tavern next door.

After letting the shopkeeper warm a bowl of rice wine and put a plate of fennel beans on the table, Zhang Xiu looked at the others in the tavern.

Jigong is not in the store, so he can't eat his dog meat......

Next to the table stood a middle-aged man, very tall and burly, with bulging muscles and bones, lingering and hesitating beside the table seat, his face gloomy and sad.

Is this a shy bag and no money to eat?

Zhang Xiu asked him curiously, "Do you want to eat something?" ”

The man looked at Zhang Xiu, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes: "Yes!" ”

Zhang Xiu smiled slightly: "I just want to eat too, come and sit at my table, let's eat together." ”

Man: "......"

Is my hungry ear hearing a fork?

Are you sure you're talking about rubbing rice, not eating together?

After waiting suspiciously for a while, he saw Zhang Xiu whispering a few words to a bearded man who was rushing to take the exam, and he got a banquet of eight dishes and one soup, plus a bucket of rice.

In the blink of an eye, eight vegetables and a bucket of rice were eaten, and the man exhaled comfortably, and then looked at Zhang Xiu: "What did you just say to that scholar, why did he give you a meal and leave happily?" ”

Zhang Xiu smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, I just told him a little trick for the exam." ”

The man asked curiously, "What technique?" ”

Zhang Xiudao: "I told him that when he took the exam, he had to write his name on the test paper. ”

Man: "......"

I don't read much, don't lie to me, this sentence is worth a meal, what kind of stupid people are coming to the imperial examination this time!

What he didn't know was that the person who came to take the exam just now, his name was Yan Chixia, who had taken the exam for three consecutive years and failed to pass the strategy.

Zhang Xiu was entrusted by Yan Feng to investigate, and then finally found out that the reason was that Yan Chixia did not write her name on the test paper every time she took the policy test......

Seeing his sluggish look, Zhang Xiu asked, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

The man came back to his senses, thanked him, and said, "I haven't eaten so much in three years." ”

Zhang Xiu said curiously: "Your body, at first glance, is a good hand at robbing houses, killing people and setting fires, why are you so adrift?" ”

The man's cheeks twitched slightly, and he replied, "It's inconvenient to tell you about this." ”

Zhang Xiu asked again: "Then where is your hometown?" ”

The man said: "I have no house on the ground, no boat on the water, I live in the countryside in the morning and sleep in the city at night." ”

The corners of Zhang Xiu's eyes twitched twice, and said: "You just don't have a home, look at your body is quite bluffing, let's go to my student's home as a nursing home for the time being." ”

The man shook his head and refused: "No, if you have a great trouble in the future, I will never stand by and forget the kindness of this meal." ”

This man swears by it because he really has confidence.

He was originally a thunder cao in the sky, but because he missed the rain, he was punished to the earth for three years. Now that the three-year period has arrived, he is about to return to Heaven and become an immortal again.

Before leaving, he received the favor of a mortal for a meal, and it was not easy to repay him?

Just as he was about to get up to say goodbye, suddenly, a somewhat familiar woman appeared at the door.

Lei Cao only felt a trance in front of him, feeling as if he had seen the seventh princess of the heavenly court.

At this time, the woman had already walked up to his benefactor and said with a smile: "Xianggong, this is your friend?" ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and introduced enthusiastically: "This hero is my new friend, although I have just met, I already regard him as my sibling, my beloved relatives and friends!" ”

"My brother is righteous, my brother said that even if he faces Yang Jian and Nezha in the future, he will never stand idly by!"

"By the way, brother, I just talked and didn't ask you what your name was?"

Lei Cao: "@#¥%¥#@......"

Is it still important to have a name or something?

Thank you for your concern, the cabbage has a common cold, and today it is almost better~
