In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", such a story is recorded, Liu Zhang of Yizhou sent his courtier Zhang Song to Xu Du and met Yang Xiu, who was known for his intelligence under Cao Cao.

Yang Xiu has always been arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't take the heroes of the world in his eyes, seeing Zhang Song's short stature and unattractive appearance, his first impression is not good, and he looks down on him very much.

So, Yang Xiu took out the military book "Mengde's New Book" written by Cao Cao himself and showed it to Zhang Song, wanting to boast about his master's martial arts, and ridicule Zhang Song by the way.

How do you know that Zhang Song said disdainfully after reading it: "This book is a three-foot child in Shu, and it can also be secretly recited, what is the "New Book"?" This was made by an anonymous person during the Warring States Period, and Prime Minister Cao Cheng stole it as his own ability, so he stopped hiding it! ”

Of course, Yang Xiu didn't believe that his talented lord was a copyist, so he refuted it on the spot.

Zhang Song said: "If you don't believe it, I'll try to recite it." ”

So Zhang Song recited the thirteen-volume "Mengde's New Book" from beginning to end on the spot, and there was not a single word wrong.

Yang Xiu was shocked, only then did he know that Zhang Song had the ability to recite with his eyes, and he was impressed by Zhang Song from then on.

Wei Chen began to read the Three Kingdoms not long after he became literate in his previous life, and he read the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" one hundred and twenty times over and over again, and naturally remembered the story of Yang Xiu and Zhang Song.

It's just that Wei Chen never thought that he now has "Zhang Song's ability", and even surpasses it!

The characters in the romance novel may have undergone a certain amount of artistic exaggeration, and there is a certain discrepancy between them and the real image of the characters, but Wei Chen's ability is real.

"Commentary on the Analects" has a total of 20 volumes, divided into two volumes, the whole book is more than 200,000 words, a morning's work, ordinary people may not have time to read it roughly, but Wei Chen can read it word for word, and immediately memorize it by heart.

This kind of ability, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a special function.

"Is it because of the fusion of the memories of the two lives? Or did traveling through time have some unknown effect on my consciousness and thinking? ”

Wei Chen was puzzled, and in the end he could only attribute the reason to the crossing, after all, the crossing itself was mysterious enough, and it seemed reasonable to attach some other "giveaways".

In any case, having this ability to recite at a glance must be a great thing for Wei Chen, at least it will be very helpful for Wei Chen to set foot on the road of the imperial examination in the future.

"Brother Chen."

The familiar child's voice sounded outside the door, interrupting Wei Chen's thoughts, and a peaceful smile immediately appeared on his face.

"It's Ah Xu, what's the matter, come in and talk about it!"

Zhang Xu opened the door in response, holding a food plate in his hand, and a casserole was placed on it, and before the lid was opened, the fragrance of mutton had already come out.

Zhang Xu is seven years old, only half an adult is tall, and his strength is far from growing, the casserole on the food plate and the food inside look like a few catties, Zhang Xu is shaking in his hand, and even his face is straining.

Wei Chen hurriedly took the food plate that might fall down at any time, and asked, "Why did you send the food, aunt and uncle?" ”

Most of the people in Xiyin Village take Wei as their surname, and they came from the same source a hundred years ago, and when it comes to generations, Wei Ruyi and Wei Chen's father Wei Mingzhao are considered to be the same generation, so Wei Chen calls her aunt and Zhang Ming as his uncle.

Seeing that the food plate was steadily placed on the table by Wei Chen, Zhang Xu was relieved, sat on the ground, spit out his little tongue and gasped and said, "Daddy went to work in the field early in the morning, and Auntie went to the county seat." ”

"And who made this meal?"

Wei Chen asked, pointing to the casserole on the table.

"A-Niang made it stew in the pot before leaving, and I just gave it hot again."

Zhang Xu said indifferently, as if it was already commonplace for him to watch the house alone.

Wei Chen secretly said to himself, the children of poor families have been in charge of the house for a long time, and it is really not bad at all, thinking about his previous life, he has never entered the kitchen once in his teens, Wei Chen can't help but feel ashamed in his heart.

Zhang Xu gasped, got up from the ground again, cleaned up the messy table in three or two clicks, then opened the lid of the casserole, put the wooden spoon into the pot, turned his head and helped Wei Chen sit down to eat.

Wei Chen sat at the table, looking down at the hot and fragrant mutton porridge in front of him, his nose was inexplicably sour.

At this time, the habit of the peasants is to eat two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, eat thin when they are free, eat dry when they are busy, and barely fill their stomachs every day.

The Zhang family is only a family of middle and lower farmers, so naturally it will not be an exception.

But since Wei Chen regained consciousness, he has eaten three meals a day, with eggs, simmered mutton, and thick millet porridge.

It is no wonder that Zhang's family only has a few acres of land, but Zhang Ming, a strong laborer, has to go to the field before dawn every day, and he goes home tired very late, and eighty percent of them work as helpers in the big households in the village.

And Wei Ruyi hurried into the county seat, probably to go to the grocery store in the county town to sell the straw mats she had made overnight......

"What's the matter, Brother Chen, hurry up and eat, it's not good if it's cold."

Zhang Xu saw Wei Chen sitting still, and urged in a low voice.

Wei Chen shook his head, put down his thoughts, turned his head to look at Zhang Xu who was sitting on the small bench, and saw that he was swallowing saliva unconsciously, and couldn't help but smile and said:

"Ah Xu, come and eat together, I can't eat so much in one meal."

Zhang Xu was young, he was already greedy, and he hadn't touched meat for a long time, and when he was hot porridge, he was already aroused by the aroma of mutton, but he remembered his mother's instructions when he left, so he didn't steal it.

Now that Wei Chen opened his mouth to invite, Zhang Xu couldn't bear it, so he immediately went to get a wooden spoon, straightened up and stood in front of the table, and shared the food with Wei Chen.

After eating, Zhang Xu patted his round belly, burped with satisfaction, and then consciously cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.

Wei Chen helped clean up together, then straightened his clothes, and stepped out of the door slowly.

Now that he is gradually recovering, he no longer needs to be supported, and he can go out for a walk on his own.

Since he has made up his mind to exercise, Wei Chen will naturally not be lazy, and must recover his health as soon as possible and gradually replenish his physical strength.

Walking aimlessly on the dirt road in the village, Wei Chen secretly pondered the way to make a fortune, so that Zhang Ming and Wei Ruyi would not work so hard.

Although he has discovered his talent in endorsement, this does not make the Zhang family's living conditions any better.

Moreover, supporting a scholar is likely to make the Zhang family of three even more embarrassed.

Therefore, Wei Chen must find a way to get money quickly, not only to repay the kindness of the Zhang family and make the Zhang family's life better, but also so that Wei Chen can study with peace of mind and participate in the imperial examination.

As a modern person with a graduate degree, it is not difficult for Wei Chen to make some inventions in ancient times to make money, but with Wei Chen's current situation, he can't even get the most basic starting funds, which has become the biggest problem.

Unconsciously, Wei Chen had already walked to the stream outside the village, this stream is called Jingxi, which is the origin of the name of Xiyin Village.

The fresh air by the stream greatly helps to think, Wei Chen stood alone on the bank, letting the watery breeze blow in his face, listening to the sound of flowing water in his ears, he suddenly felt comfortable, and couldn't help but laugh a few times.

The laughter drifted away with the wind and drifted into the ears of the village women who were in Huanyi by the stream, and they all looked at Wei Chen curiously.

"This is a doll of the Xiucai family? Didn't you hear that he was very sick, how did he come out? ”

"It should be great, it's just thin and out of shape, tsk, what a strong offspring it was, and now it will fall when the wind blows."

"What is he doing when he comes to this stream to blow the wind?"

"Isn't it possible that the illness in my body has healed, and my brain is in trouble again?"

"It's a pity that Xiucai Gong only left such a lone seedling, and now it looks like a waste......"

At this time, the scholars were very respected, especially Wei Mingzhao was the first promising scholar in Xiyin Village in decades, and his status in the village was even more transcendent.

Because of this, after the tragic experience of Wei Mingzhao's death in the examination house spread, many villagers sighed.

Now Wei Chen looks sick again, and in the eyes of the villagers, Wei Mingzhao's pulse is afraid that it will completely decline from now on.

The women's whispered discussions reached Wei Chen's ears, and Wei Chen's footsteps only stagnated slightly, and then he became brisk again, and continued to leave briskly in the direction of Zhang's family.
